Chapter 11 Heavenly Cold Sect Members Lose Their Minds!

"He can cultivate now!?"

The disciples and deacons of the Heavenly Cold Sect in the other courtyard perked up their ears when they heard this and gathered around.

"Um," Liu Qingqing responded simply with a nod to the members of the sect, unlike her earlier conversation with Gu Changge.

"Did the Gu Family spare no expense? That young man's aura had already reached the Fifth Level of the Qi Condensation Realm just now, and we haven't seen him for only a day!" said Sixth Elder, furrowing his brow in puzzlement.

"What!?"

"Qi Condensation Realm Fifth Level!"

"How is that possible? That guy couldn't step into the Qi Condensation Realm for eighteen years and was completely incompetence, so how could he break through to the Qi Condensation Realm Fifth Level in just one day!?"

"Sixth Elder, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Upon hearing that his realm had changed drastically to the Qi Condensation Realm Fifth Level in just a day, the disciples were utterly shocked!

They even preferred to believe that Sixth Elder, a great power of the Heavenly Gate Realm, had made a mistake rather than believing it was true!

It was simply inconceivable, impossible!

"Um?"

"I'm not yet at the point where my eyesight is failing,"

Sixth Elder disdainfully swept a glance at everyone. As a dignified Eight-grade cultivator of the Heavenly Gate Realm, he couldn't possibly misjudge someone at the First Grade of the Qi Condensation Realm, otherwise, he might as well not exist!

"But this..."

"Could it be that the young man was pretending before?"

"Deliberately concealing?"

"That doesn't make sense, either. As a direct descendant of the Gu Family, pretending to be a cripple wouldn't benefit him at all, instead, showing his cultivation talent would give him access to more resources."

"Strange... too strange."

Several deacons shook their heads in disbelief, unable to figure out how this was possible.

What method could the Gu Family possibly have used to make a cripple turn into a cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm Fifth Level overnight!

When Liu Qingqing heard them repeatedly calling Gu Changge a cripple and an incompetent, her expression slightly furrowed.

She simply gave them the answer, "A Soul-Shaping Pill combined with the medicinal power he had accumulated before made his initial cultivation like this."

"I see, no wonder..."

"No!"

"Soul-Shaping Pill!?"

"You gave him your Soul-Shaping Pill!?"

After hearing the answer, Sixth Elder slightly nodded and felt relieved in his heart, this explanation was reasonable—the Heaven Rank Elixir, Soul-Shaping Pill, was indeed enough to give an incompetent the opportunity to cultivate, plus the accumulated medicinal power could indeed make such a difference.

But...

He soon realized, a Heaven Rank Elixir like the Soul-Shaping Pill, while the Gu Family could afford it, would not likely be wasted on a cripple!

If they wanted to use it, why wait eighteen years?

And Liu Qingqing had just received a Soul-Shaping Pill recently, a chance acquired using not a few resources of the Liu Family, as well as the support from several Elders when she became one of the contenders for Saintess.

It was an important elixir for her battle for the Saintess position, without the enhancement of the Soul-Shaping Pill, Liu Qingqing might not necessarily be the most likely candidate to become the Saintess now!

The words of Sixth Elder also caused another Eighth Elder and several deacons to look at Liu Qingqing in stunned silence.

They supported Liu Qingqing because she was the most hopeful to become Saintess, but now she was willingly giving away her Soul-Shaping Pill, jeopardizing her position as Saintess?

Liu Qingqing said nothing more, just nodded slightly; since the Soul-Shaping Pill had already been given away, she could no longer hide it, and these people would find out sooner or later.

"Foolish!"

"You are foolish!"

"The sect can let you have your marriage."

"And we can support your choice!"

"But the Soul-Shaping Pill is a crucial resource for your competition for the Saintess position, how could you give it to that useless man!"

"And moreover, do you know that the sect tolerating your choice also heavily relies on the fact that this guy can't cultivate? He's just a mortal, his lifespan barely spans a few decades!"

"But now he has begun to cultivate, and even if he only reaches the Qi Sea Realm in the future, he will live a disease-free life exceeding two hundred years!"

"Do you think the sect will still agree?"

"You... you really are!!"

After receiving the answer, both elders had somewhat green faces!

Liu Qingqing's actions now made them question whether they should support someone else!

"Senior Sister, have you lost your mind!?"

"You gave him the Soul-Shaping Pill!?"

"A Heavenly Rank Elixir, how is he, a mere mortal waste, worthy of it!"

"Once he leaves the Gu Family, a Heavenly Rank Elixir, could even buy his life on the black market!"

"Why him, other than having a decent human appearance, what else makes him worthy of you, Senior Sister?"

A crowd of Heavenly Cold Sect disciples also beat their chests and stamped their feet as they heard this.

Their goddess-like Senior Sister Liu, whom they delicately revered and dared not approach, why, why was she so good to that wasteman!?

Does the Heavenly Cold Sect really not have disciples that Senior Sister fancies?

Are those Direct Senior Brothers really worse than a wasteman from the Gu Family?

"Now that things have settled."

"If the Elders and Deacons want to leave, Qingqing has nothing more to say."

"Qingqing only hopes her heart is clear, that she may pursue the extremity of Dao and the peak of immortality!"

Liu Qingqing sighed, her gaze calmly sweeping over everyone present as she softly spoke.

After speaking, she turned and returned to her room, closing the door firmly and activating the Isolation Array, uninterested in hearing any outside noises.

"Everyone wants to decide how I should live my life..."

"It's truly exhausting; being with him feels much more relaxing."

As the words of the Heavenly Cold Sect resounded in her mind, Liu Qingqing helplessly sighed.

She usually acted cold towards others because she found them bothersome, everyone having their own agenda wanting her to become a Saintess to elevate their position within the sect.

Her desire to become a Saintess, however, was only to pursue a higher realm and of course, to remedy the flaws in her current cultivation technique.

"But…"

"It seems he might really be in trouble now."

"Hopefully, the Gu Family can solve it for him."

Liu Qingqing recollected the elder's words, also becoming somewhat anxious in her heart.

Not until a while later did she calm her mind and began to meditatively cultivate.

From the moment she embarked on her path of cultivation, she had never paused, never slackened!

While at this moment, outside the door in the other courtyard, the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect couldn't calm their hearts!

They were utterly shocked that the Soul-Shaping Pill had been given to the wasteman!

"No, this must be reported to the Sect Master!"

"We can't let Qingqing continue like this. If it goes on this way, won't she just stay in the Gu Family and not return to the sect!?"

"Ah... What kind of love potion has that detestable guy fed Qingqing!"

"Unbelievable!"

The Sixth Elder sighed deeply; at this moment, the price was too great for them to consider switching to another contestant for Saintess, as they had already offended everyone over the years. If they supported someone else to Saintess, retribution might come after autumn!

However, they would not let this issue rest easily; they hoped the Gu Family could provide an explanation and even force the Gu Family to regurgitate the Soul-Shaping Pill!

A Heavenly Rank Elixir was not cheap as cabbage, not something you say you take back just like that!?

Even eating it that very night seemed like they feared we from the Heavenly Cold Sect would demand it back!

Without any delay, this information was relayed back to the sect by the Sixth Elder, and one could only imagine how disappointed and furious the Sect Master would be upon hearing the news
