C114 Unordinary Status

Even Sheng Lingyu himself had only been stunned for an instant. Then, his expression became humble and amiable as he bowed in Gu Qing's direction, "Senior Sister is powerful, Ling Yu's skills are inferior to others."

Seeing Sheng Lingyu's attitude, Gu Qing also nodded slightly at him. She did not expect him to be so magnanimous after losing, and from this it could be seen that his character was not bad.

This competition had made her realize her weakness. She was truly poor! The Withered Handprint was a killing move, so she could not casually use it in this kind of competition. Although the Seven Deaths of Soul was powerful, but the first move was only to assist her, if she met an expert, even if she did not have any powerful offensive techniques, she would not be able to determine the victor in the short span of two breaths. Furthermore, after using the Seven Deaths of Soul once, the opponent would definitely be on her guard, and at that time, she would be in a passive position.

After going through a challenge from Sheng Lingyu, Gu Qing was left behind. Someone that even Sheng Lingyu could not challenge, they did not have the confidence to continue. Seeing that, Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

One of them was Yuan Lang, she had already noticed it long ago. The other was Shen Chang, after she had won, Shen Chang's gaze had always been faintly discernible on her body, and it was with an obvious look.

As for the rest of the gazes, they were all from the high platform. Gu Qing took a casual glance and thought that they were all elders, but who would have thought that she would see a familiar figure there.

Liu Ying?

In these three or four years of Huaqing Palace, Gu Qing spent the majority of her time cultivating, and did not interact too much with other disciples of the same sect.

Speaking of which, she only had these two friends in Huaqing Palace. But now that he thought about it, the identities of these two friends of his weren't simple. Hee Zhixian needless to say, he must be related to that mysterious Mask Man, but Liu Ying …

Her gaze landed on Liu Ying, and since Liu Ying happened to turn to look at her side, she did not pay too much attention to him, and turned her gaze to the competition grounds.

Gu Qing only glanced at Liu Ying before her gaze landed on the person beside Liu Ying.

Seated next to Liu Ying was the Sect Leader of the Xuanhua Sect. The distance between Liu Ying and the other party was extremely close, and one could tell that the two were very close when they were talking to each other.

Liu Ying was clearly a disciple of the Huaqing Palace, why did she appear so close to them?

Gu Qing did not pay much attention to the following matches, and continued to guess Liu Ying's identity, and only after the forty names were decided, did Gu Qing regain her senses.

After the list of names was announced, Gu Qing realized that it was not only Wang Lin, Qingyang, Shen Chang and Sheng Lingyu. Originally, Sheng Lingyu had challenged a Middle Period of Foundation Stage cultivator after failing to challenge him. However, this time, he was lucky to have successfully defeated his opponent and obtained a placing.

Disciples who did not take the initiative to challenge others actually had an advantage. As long as there were fewer spots, they would have their own spot. However, this was only temporary safety. They would only have twenty spots left in the end, even if there were still two Initial Period of Foundation Stage s who were selected. But in the finals, they would definitely be eliminated by the opponents.

After that, there were two rounds of drawing, Gu Qing got an empty lot, so she did not have the qualifications to draw another opponent. The other person who was qualified for the drawing of lots could draw opponents from the twenty people who held the empty lot.

Other than the people who drew the lots, the rest of them did not know who their opponents were. Although in some aspects, this was unfair, the Law Enforcing Elder had said that on the path of cultivation, luck was often considered a type of strength. If one did not have the luck to choose an opponent, they would have to properly cultivate and increase their strength in the following month in order to obtain their placing in the final competition.

Gu Qing was one of the twenty unlucky ones, but her mood was still relatively calm, because these were merely the twenty spots for sects. She still had to compete with the people from the various sects for a few dozen spots later.

The moment the Law Enforcement Elder announced the name list, Gu Qing made a bold decision. Even though she had a huge treasure with her, she did not dare to use that spiritual liquid to profit in exchange for cultivation skills and treasures. But there was such a good opportunity in front of her. As long as she controlled the time well, not only would she be able to obtain powerful techniques, no one would be able to find any traces of her.

Gu Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter, she had already made up her mind, after everyone dispersed, she would once again make a trip to the Compendium Pavilion.

The Law Enforcing Elder took out the name list from the hands of the twenty disciples who had drawn the lots. Gu Qing noticed that not only did Wang Lin glance at him, Qingyang and Shen Chang also glanced at him, along with a few other disciples of the Foundation Period.

She had originally wanted to see who her opponent was from the expressions of the Xuanhua Sect disciples who had drawn the lots against her, but now … Forget it, it didn't matter who his opponent was. As long as he had sufficient strength, he would be fearless.

After the law enforcement clan elder finished counting the names, he said to all the Foundation Period disciples present: "The list of people to enter Ancient Ruins will be revealed in a month's time. The remaining forty disciples can use this month's time to properly raise their own strength."

The crowd gradually dispersed amidst various sounds of disappointment, sighs, and apprehension.

Gu Qing did not return to her own cave, but instead, headed towards the Compendium Pavilion.

"Junior Sister Zi Jin, wait for me!" A voice came from behind him. Gu Qing turned around and saw that it was Azure Sun.

Gu Qing's brows lightly knitted together. Ever since they participated in the mission together, she and Qingyang had almost never met, let alone spoken to each other.

Qingyang walked to her side in a few steps, "Junior Sister Zi Jin, are you going back to cultivate in your own cave?"

Gu Qing shook her head, "I plan to go to the library. Last time, I couldn't find a suitable technique, I want to see if I can choose another one."

"Zi Jin wants to go to the Book Collection Vault? I just happen to be going over there for a while, to travel with Zi Jin, okay? " A voice came from the side. Gu Qing turned around, only to see Yuan Lang standing there with a bright smile on his face.

When Azure Sun saw Yuan Lang walking over, he immediately straightened his body and said to him: "Martial Uncle Yuan Lang."

Yuan Lang nodded slightly, his gaze still landing on Gu Qing.

Qingyang sensibly said: "I will go back to cultivate first, I hope to be fortunate enough to be able to head to Ancient Ruins with Martial Uncle."

"Mm, work hard." With that said, Yuan Lang walked to Gu Qing's side and slowly strolled forward.

After the two of them had walked a long distance, Qingyang finally withdrew his gaze. He gently pulled his lips and revealed a somewhat strange smile.

Yuan Lang walked beside Gu Qing and turned to look at her, "Zi Jin, how did you cultivate in the past? I didn't expect you to be so powerful. "

Gu Qing had only cultivated for a few years, and they were all cultivating in the Huaqing Palace. She knew that Yuan Lang was truly curious about her career as a rogue cultivator, so she thought about it for a while, and thought about the experiences of the Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu.

Yuan Lang only wanted to talk to her, but he knew how difficult it was to become a rogue cultivator. Hearing her say it out loud with his own ears, he felt a wave of pain in his heart.

As the two were chatting, a few female cultivators with Meditation Stage walked over. When they saw Yuan Lang, their faces flushed red and they called out shyly, "Martial Uncle!"

Yuan Lang smiled brightly at the few of them, and quickly retracted his gaze.

Following that, Gu Qing discovered that within a short distance from the Compendium Pavilion, there were close to ten female cultivators who were secretly providing support for Yuan Lang. Gu Qing then started to size up Yun Tian, this good friend Yuan Lang.

From the side, his long eyebrows flew down to his temples. His nose was high and straight, truly handsome and extraordinary.

Yuan Lang felt her gaze and turned his head happily: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Gu Qing retracted her gaze, and replied with a gentle smile. "I am just curious as to why those fellow sect members are staring at Martial Uncle."

"Oh? Did you find out? " Yuan Lang stuck out his chest, he did not believe that his current face could not enter her eyes.

Gu Qing pursed her lips, "Martial Uncle, I'm here."

"Ai, you still haven't told me …" Yuan Lang wanted to stop her, but her figure had already disappeared outside the door of the Compendium Pavilion in the blink of an eye. He sighed, stared at the direction where Gu Qing disappeared to, laughed for some reason, then turned around to leave.

After Gu Qing entered the library, a disciple that was looking out for him walked out, "Senior sister, may I ask what technique you need?"

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I temporarily do not have any Contribution Point, but last time, Spiritual Master Qing Xu promised all the disciples that they could choose a set of cultivation technique. I am the only one who did not, and am not sure if I can give you another chance?"

This disciple had always been guarding the library, so he knew there was someone like that, but because Gu Qing's disguise was so ordinary, the disciple did not recognise her immediately. It was only until she said it out loud herself, that disciple pointed at her and said "Oh" twice, "So the one who didn't choose the cultivation technique was you, Senior Sister."

Gu Qing smiled slightly, "That's right, it's me. I wonder if I can choose another one?"

Hearing this, the disciple immediately nodded his head, "Senior, please go in and choose. Daoist Master Qing Xu specifically told me that you did not choose any cultivation techniques. If you were to make an exception, I will let you choose another one."

Gu Qing did not expect Spiritual Master Qing Xu to specifically ask him to do this. With gratitude in his heart, he nodded towards the Xuanhua Sect disciples in front of him, "Then, thank you, Junior Brother." After which, he walked past the other party and into the Compendium Pavilion.

Her goal was very clear, and she directly went to the third floor. As soon as she entered, she used her spiritual sense to scan the library and discovered that there weren't many people inside, especially on the third floor where there were only a few. Although Gu Qing had seen them before, she did not call them famous. The three of them looked at each other, then looked away.

Time was limited, Gu Qing immediately stood in front of a bookshelf. On the surface, it seemed like she was reading a technique, but in reality, she had already started to probe the surrounding walls.

With the experience from the last time, Gu Qing's consciousness immediately sensed the faintly discernible traces of spirit energy within the walls. Glimmers danced in her eyes as she immediately used her spirit energy to touch the spirit energy. Before long, her vision blurred, and she once again arrived at the place where there were so many balls of light.
