Chapter 186: Chapter186 A single sentence can shock people to death. Zhou Peng's heart suddenly contracted violently. He was secretly stunned. Unknowingly, beads of cold sweat seeped out of his palms. Only the people in Qinghe City know about his damaged dantian. And ever since he defeated Zhao Kong in the family battle and became the number one person in Qinghe City in one fell swoop, no one has suspected that his dantian is damaged. Since then, everyone has thought that his dantian has recovered and he can practice qigong again. After all, if a person's dantian is damaged, how can they practice qigong? How can they break through if they can't practice qigong? No one has ever seen his damaged dantian all along. Just now Shen Yan's words made a chill rise in his heart. Somehow, it felt as if his hidden secret for many years had been uncovered. That feeling made him very uncomfortable inside. However, Shen Yan didn't notice the change in Zhou Peng's expression. She didn't even look at Zhou Peng. Frowning, her eyes stared fixedly at one place in a daze. Then she said again, "No, no." "If the dantian is damaged, one can hardly practice qigong. It's even more impossible to condense true qi. Just now there was clearly true qi on his palms. Why is this? It's so strange." As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, the heart that had been in Zhou Peng's throat suddenly settled down. There are too many things in this world that he doesn't know. All kinds of mysterious skills, powerful divine powers, and even transcendent spells. Who knows if someone will discover his leveling secret? Being able to faintly guess his damaged dantian from true qi. Although it's not certain, it still gave Zhou Peng a fright. He secretly warned himself that he must be careful in the future. "Master, this disciple is dull and has low potential." Zhou Peng immediately took a step forward and said. "Eh!" Shen Yan exclaimed. Looking at Zhou Peng, she said, "You haven't left yet?" "Uh?!" Zhou Peng was a bit speechless. Ever since he entered the Artifact Forging Hall, Shen Yan had been thinking with her back to them. At first, he thought she was angry and pretending. After waiting for several hours just now, it can be certain that her obsession with something has reached the point where she won't give up until she figures it out. She directly forgot about Zhou Peng's existence. "Master, I still don't know where to go." Zhou Peng said. Shen Yan shook her head. Then she shouted outside the door, "Xiao Qing, take Zhou Peng to his residence." "Yes." A female disciple in green immediately came in. With a faint smile, she said, "Junior Brother Zhou Peng, please follow me." Just as Zhou Peng was about to step out of the hall's door, Shen Yan suddenly said, "Wait." Zhou Peng was stunned. He thought to himself, "What's going on here?" "I remembered that I still have something to tell you." Shen Yan looked at Zhou Peng with her eyes. Then she said, "Xiao Qing, wait outside first." "Yes, Master." Xiao Qing showed a sly smile on her face towards Zhou Peng and hurriedly exited the hall. Zhou Peng was very helpless. Having such a master with a slightly deranged mind and being the head of a palace, he really didn't know whether entering the Blazing Sun Palace was a blessing or a curse. Shen Yan was very normal in the Merit Hall. Why did she seem completely different in the Blazing Sun Palace? Zhou Peng didn't understand. Wasn't the contrast too great? Although she still had an approachable and kind appearance, she seemed a bit absent-minded. She was already a middle-aged woman. Zhou Peng just couldn't accept this absent-mindedness. "The top one hundred disciples ranking competition will be held soon. The eight palaces of the Thousand Machines Sect will all send disciples to participate. As your master, I want you to participate too." Shen Yan said indifferently. "Master, this disciple is only at the third level of Void Entry. I'm afraid it will be difficult to be competent." Zhou Peng felt strange in his heart. Just after entering the Blazing Sun Palace, he had to participate in the top one hundred ranking competition. Was Shen Yan doing it on purpose? Because he had no potential to practice artifact forging skills and was she indirectly trying to drive him away? As the head of a palace, if she really wanted to drive him away, would she do it like this? There was completely no need. Zhou Peng secretly thought. He didn't know what Shen Yan's intention was. "I believe in you. The top one hundred ranking competition is just a formality. Just don't have a too embarrassing ranking." Shen Yan didn't explain. In the ranking competition for inner disciples, the eight palaces naturally have to send disciples to participate. This annual grand event, the Blazing Sun Palace doesn't want to miss it either. Moreover, this time it is extremely important for the Blazing Sun Palace. She knows that if they can get a good ranking this time, they can obtain a pot of Geng Metal Qi. The Geng Metal Qi is no less important to her than the strange fire in the Nether Sea. It is very important to her. However, all the disciples of the Blazing Sun Palace add up to less than a hundred people. Most of them are at the Gang Refining Realm. Only a few disciples have reached the Void Entry Realm. Naturally, there are not many people who can be sent out. Zhou Peng was actually able to complete the task of the strange fire in the Nether Sea. Shen Yan believed that he would definitely achieve a result that satisfied her. "Master, why not send Senior Brother? His strength is at the Realm of Reincarnation. He is much stronger than me." Zhou Peng asked carefully. Zhou Wei is at the Realm of Reincarnation. His strength is much stronger than his. And when he heard "Just don't have a too embarrassing ranking", Zhou Peng immediately felt a strong pressure. For a ranking not to be embarrassing, then what ranking wouldn't be embarrassing? "He will naturally participate too. I didn't say that you should go alone." Shen Yan suddenly said. Then she smiled faintly. "He was ranked ninth among the top one hundred disciples in the last session. You have to work hard." "Ninth place?" Zhou Peng was stunned. Secretly thinking, "Only at the second level of Reincarnation and he was ranked tenth? I'm at the third level of Void Entry. Wouldn't I be ranked ninety-ninth? The Thousand Machines Sect is full of hidden talents and experts are like clouds. What Zhou Peng has seen is only the tip of the iceberg. Regarding the top one hundred ranking competition, Zhou Peng was also a bit interested. After all, it was a collision of strong people and a test of actual combat. He also wanted to see how far his skill cultivation in the past two months had reached. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart and said, "This disciple obeys." "Good. Go." Shen Yan showed a faint smile. Just as Zhou Peng took a few steps, Shen Yan said again, "Wait." Zhou Peng immediately stopped. He was extremely depressed in his heart. "Sister, can you not do this? It's very annoying." "This is the elementary artifact forging technique. Take a look. Whether you can become an artifact forger or not, as a person of the Blazing Sun Palace, you must know some artifact forging skills." Shen Yan took out an ancient book. Zhou Peng immediately stepped forward and took it. He said, "This disciple takes his leave." "Go." Shen Yan waved her big hand. Then she walked towards the back of the hall on foot. "Junior Brother Zhou Peng, this way." As soon as Zhou Peng stepped out of the hall, Xiao Qing came up. Wearing green clothes, she was very beautiful with clear features. When she smiled, a small tiger tooth was revealed. She was very lovely. "Thank you, Senior Sister." Zhou Peng said respectfully. "You're welcome." Xiao Qing said seriously. Then she couldn't help but ask, "Was it really you who completed the task of the strange fire in the Nether Sea?" As a disciple of the Blazing Sun Palace, Xiao Qing naturally knew about the task of the strange fire in the Nether Sea. However, so many senior sisters and brothers hadn't completed it. But Zhou Peng at the third level of Void Entry completed it. This made her very surprised. Admiration for Zhou Peng rose in her heart. Zhou Peng nodded. At this time, his mind was all on the artifact forging technique. He put the elementary artifact forging technique into the space ring. Immediately, the system popped up a voice prompt, "Do you want to practice artifact forging technique?" "Yes!" "Artifact forging technique has been successfully cultivated." Artifact forging technique: elementary. Proficiency: 0/1000. Note: Can't forge any weapons for now. "Low potential value?" Zhou Peng couldn't help but sneer. "Potential value is nonsense to me. Wait and see. I'll forge a divine weapon for you to see. Haha." "Junior Brother, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask when she saw the smile on Zhou Peng's face. Zhou Peng was stunned. Immediately, he said, "I'm not laughing at anything. By the way, Senior Sister, where do Yan Xin and Yan Bing live?" "Junior Brother, I advise you not to look for them. Senior Brother will be unhappy." Xiao Qing reminded in a low voice. "Many senior brothers were sent to guard the mountain gate just because they said a word to them. You have offended Senior Brother today. You have to be careful in your actions from now on." "Thank you for your reminder." Zhou Peng was shocked. He didn't expect Zhou Wei to be so domineering. Could it be that he wanted to occupy all the girls in the Blazing Sun Palace? "You're welcome. Just now I heard Master say that your talent in artifact forging is very low?" Xiao Qing suddenly asked. Looking at Zhou Peng's profile, she couldn't help but recall the day she entered the Blazing Sun Palace. Sympathy rose in her heart for Zhou Peng. At this time, Zhou Peng was thinking about his next plan. His brows slightly wrinkled. When he heard Xiao Qing's question, a bitter smile appeared on his face. Xiao Qing's face slightly changed. Feeling as if she had poked at Zhou Peng's inner pain, she immediately said, "You don't need to be self-abased. My talent is also very low. It's also red flame." "Do you like artifact forging?" Zhou Peng suddenly asked. "I like it. But I have no talent. After several years of cultivation, I still haven't mastered the essentials. I can't even forge a low-grade spiritual artifact." Xiao Qing sighed long and was a bit self-abased. Zhou Peng smiled faintly and said, "It will be better in the future." Then, the two didn't speak anymore and walked silently all the way. The area of Duxiu Peak is very large. So much so that the disciples' residences are like single-family villas. They are hundreds of times more magnificent than those thatched huts. For Zhou Peng, this was simply incredible. Secretly thinking in his heart, "I didn't expect that I could also live in a villa? Haha..." After arriving at his residence and watching Xiao Qing leave. Zhou Peng was going to take a good bath and sleep comfortably. Just as he was about to step into the gate, a cold murderous aura suddenly struck. Zhou Peng's heart tightened. Immediately, he took a leap and flew into the air. He stared coldly at a dark place. "Come out." "Humph." "Are you Zhou Peng?" A man in black walked out from the darkness. The man exuded a strong murderous aura all over his body. Cold rays appeared in his eyes. He locked onto Zhou Peng firmly and walked up slowly. Zhou Peng landed. Staring at the man in black, he said, "Who are you?" Inside his body, his qi and blood were thick and powerful. His eyes were deep. His cultivation level was probably above the eighth level of Void Entry. "Is it someone from the Sky Pillar Sect? Or a lackey of Zhou Wei?" Secretly thinking in his heart, he became vigilant. At the same time, the power of the dragon and elephant in his dantian was fully released. "You don't need to know." The man in black sneered coldly. Disdainfully, he said, "The dead don't need to know." As soon as the words fell, a strong killing intent struck fiercely. His body turned into a black shadow and suddenly disappeared from its original place. Zhou Peng sneered and said faintly, "Seeking death." For him, under the sensing of the law of breath, the man in black had nowhere to hide. Immediately, he shouted loudly in his heart, "Level four berserk!"
