33 Chapter 33: Murong Xue_1

Even the people of Xuanyi Peak found this performance baffling, but when they saw the surprised gazes from people of other peaks, they couldn't help but straighten their chests and proudly say, "See, that's our Big Brother Qin."

However, it doesn't seem right for a sect's first brother to only have the cultivation level of a tier 5 Foundation Establishment.

Well, no one cared about that detail.

What they cared more about was Qin Changqing's performance in the secret realm. Since the first day, every time he met a female disciple, he would ask, "Junior sister, are you looking for a Taoist couple?" So much so that his name is now widely known throughout the Lingxiao Sect.

Everyone knew that the big brother of Xuanyi Peak was a ladies' man.

But you couldn't exactly call him a debauchee. He was polite, handsome, and hard to dislike.

However, he definitely couldn't be considered a symbol of integrity.

Many pretty junior sisters who entered the secret realm had admirers who wanted to court them.

Who said cultivators couldn't fall in love?

It's just that most of the time, they wouldn't confess their feelings.

The Lingxiao Sect did not prohibit its disciples from forming Taoist couples for cultivation, but they didn't advocate it either. It depended on your willingness. If you felt hopeless about cultivating, finding a Taoist couple to explore the philosophy of life together wasn't a bad idea.

It was quite normal for young disciples with strong vitality to be attracted to beautiful senior and junior sisters.

And now, all they could do was stand outside the secret realm, gritting their teeth in frustration, watching Qin Changqing trying to proposition one sister after another, wishing that some demonic beast inside the realm would beat him up.

And then rush up together to teach him a lesson.

Unfortunately, being an excellent transmigrator, Qin Changqing knew the essence of escape art.

Despite his weak cultivation, he had been carefree all this time.

On the fifth day, there were still 782 people left in the secret realm, and Qin Changqing had no troubles.

On the eighth day, there were 603 left, and Qin Changqing still had no problems.

On the twelfth day, there were 450 left, and Qin Changqing remained trouble-free.

Not only did he have no issues, but it also seemed that a junior sister was about to fall for him.

Boom! -

An explosive sound echoed through the mountains.

"The water of the Great River comes from the sky!"

A sudden shout rang out.

Where the sword qi slashed, the surroundings formed layers of rolling waves, crushing rocks and trees under the powerful sword intent - the might of the Great River!

This was what Qin Changqing had realized after cultivating the Great River Sword Skill to the realm of completion.

Although he hadn't been able to pick up any girls during these nearly half a month, and even had a few instances of being chased by them, his time wasn't wasted.

Of course, the key to mastering the Great River Sword Skill so quickly was his three decades of accumulation. He had only practiced this one sword skill and had become thoroughly familiar with it, so this was just the pinnacle of his hard work.

But understanding one principle would help understand a hundred others. If it weren't for his new insights after Foundation Establishment, Qin Changqing would not have been able to grasp the secret, no matter how much accumulation he had done.

Moreover, the power of sword intent was far greater than sword techniques.

At this moment, as he stabbed out with his sword, fifty layers of hidden force erupted instantly, making his current power several times greater than before.

"Roar!!!"

A two-meter-tall patterned tiger monster roared beneath the waves in defiance.

But its defiance was eventually suppressed by the sword intent.

Swoosh~

Blood splattered, and the ferocity in the tiger's eyes gradually faded until it was completely extinguished.

Boom -

The enormous body fell to the ground.

After Qin Changqing landed, he walked towards a woman who had fallen not far away.

"Junior sister, are you alright?"

"No, I'm fine." The woman sighed in relief, then gratefully said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving me."

"You don't need to thank me, but I'm genuinely curious about something."

Qin Changqing rubbed his chin, "You have a life-saving talisman, right? Why didn't you use it just now? You know how terrifying that monster was."

The Red Flame Double-winged Tiger was a Foundation Establishment demonic beast, and the one just now was at least at the 5th tier of Foundation Establishment.

Few cultivators could defeat it at the same cultivation level.

If Qin Changqing hadn't mastered the sword intent, he wouldn't have stood a chance against it either.The woman forced a bitter smile: "I know, but I still... don't want to admit defeat just like that."

"Sister Murong!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao descended from the sky and came to her side, asking:

"Are you alright?"

The woman shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. It's nothing."

Qin Changqing seemed perplexed: "You two know each other?"

Earlier, when he was flying with Zhao Xiaoxiao, they discovered a battle taking place and decided to come and check it out.

The tiger demon was too powerful, so Qin Changqing didn't allow Zhao Xiaoxiao to get close. Naturally, he didn't know the relationship between the two girls.

"Brother Qin, this is our Taixuan Peak's Sister Murong," Zhao Xiaoxiao introduced. "Sister Murong, this is Brother Qin Changqing, the senior brother of Xuanyi Peak."

Murong Xue stood up and bowed to Qin Changqing: "This humble girl Murong Xue thanks Brother Qin once again."

"You're welcome, you should find a place to rest."

Since the disturbance they caused just now was so huge, Qin Changqing worried that some old, cunning bastards would come to ambush them.

He dug out the demon core from the Red Flame Double-winged Tiger, and then left with the two women.

They found a cave to rest in temporarily.

Taking advantage of Murong Xue's healing, Qin Changqing asked Zhao Xiaoxiao about her.

Murong Xue, female, twenty-nine years old, at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She had fair skin and a beautiful appearance, with a slender waist and a full bust, long flowing hair, and a mature temperament.

However, her current situation wasn't very favorable.

That's because she came from the Murong Family of Yinxu Prefecture.

The Murong Family was also a Cultivation Family, with a mid-range overall strength in Yinxu Prefecture. The family ancestors were all at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She belonged to the main branch of the family, and she had a younger brother named Murong Aotian, who was two years younger than her.

Her younger brother's spiritual root was better than hers, and now he had already reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, becoming the hope of the Murong Family.

Here came the issue: there were many Cultivation Families in Yinxu Prefecture, and the most common relationship between these families was to help each other and grow stronger through marriage alliances.

"Wait, this plot seems so familiar." Qin Changqing felt somewhat frustrated after hearing this. "Little Xiaoxiao, don't tell me there's a Cultivation Family that fancies Murong Xue and the Murong Family wants to marry her off, so she desperately tries to prove herself in order to stay in the sect?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise: "Brother Qin, how did you know when I didn't even say it yet?"

Qin Changqing thought, 'I married someone like that a few years ago.'

In fact, it's quite normal; if Cultivation Families don't become hostile and oppress each other, they naturally try to become friends and seek development together.

After all, the cultivation world is full of struggles, survival of the fittest, constantly fighting.

While thinking, Qin Changqing suddenly noticed Zhao Xiaoxiao staring at him intently.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Qin." Zhao Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes. "You're looking for a Taoist Couple, aren't you? Why not ask Sister Murong if she's willing?"

"Murong Xue?"

Qin Changqing stroked his chin.

It seems that it's not... impossible.

Murong Xue meditated for one day, and her injuries had improved quite a bit.

There was no other way, as they couldn't bring elixirs in the Great Sect Competition. Once injured, they could only rely on their own recovery.

Alternatively, they could gather some herbs in the mountains.

In fact, this was also part of the Sect's Grand Competition assessment; disciples with a wealth of experience would undoubtedly perform better than others in such an environment.

Sometimes being strong doesn't necessarily guarantee victory in the end.

Once the battle consumes too much, it is very likely that even those with weaker strength might defeat them.

With that in mind, the final days before the end of the Grand Competition would undoubtedly be the most exciting time.

"Thankfully, it didn't affect my muscles or bones." Murong Xue stood up,

Moved around, and felt that her body's condition was quite good.

However, to be honest, at this stage, continuing to hold on seemed rather slim.

She couldn't help but shake her head. As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw Qin Changqing and Zhao Xiaoxiao grilling fish by the side of a pool of water outside the cave. noVe-LB-1n

The fish here were plump and delicious, and contained an abundant amount of Spiritual Qi. After being simply grilled, their aroma wafted through the air.
