"Uncle Qi, is there a problem?" Lin Qingzhu looked at Qi Wuhui expressionlessly, as if lost in thought, and said. For some reason, seeing his extremely ugly expression, she felt a sense of revenge, and it was really satisfying. She secretly rejoiced in her heart.
"You have no idea what my master has done for me. Fortunately, you didn't choose me back then. Otherwise, how could I have become my master's disciple and obtained the elixir that so many people dream of but can't get. My master's ability is beyond what you ordinary people can fathom. Now I finally understand why, when we left the hall, my master could remain calm and indifferent in the face of so many people's humiliation. This is the mindset that a truly great person should have."
She knew very well in her heart that the reason she cultivated so quickly was entirely due to the effect of the Divine Marrow Pill. After awakening the divine bone, the effect of the pill had not been fully absorbed. After all, it was a top - grade elixir, and only immortal - grade pills in the world could be compared with it. Even a powerful person like Qi Wuhui, the peak master of a lineage, couldn't produce one, let alone give it to his disciple. But Ye Qiu could take it out and was willing to give it to her. This was the gap between them...
At this moment, Qi Wuhui was extremely angry in his heart, but seeing Meng Tianzheng here, he didn't dare to act rashly. He gave Lin Qingzhu a cold look, as if his expression was saying, "Just you wait. You and your useless master, even if you have a stroke of luck, can't change your status in the Butian Sect."
Compared with Qi Wuhui's anger, Meng Tianzheng was more surprised. "What on earth is going on? Could it be that Junior Brother Ye is not the mediocre person rumored outside?"
"Well... This matter needs further consideration."
Besides being puzzled, Meng Tianzheng was more delighted. He looked back at Qi Wuhui. He knew very well in his heart that Qi Wuhui had always had a great opinion of Zixia Peak. Because there had been a feud between Cangjian Peak and Zixia Peak in the previous generation. When True Man Xuantian was alive, he didn't dare to openly deal with Zixia Peak. After True Man Xuantian passed away, Qi Wuhui gradually began to show his hostility towards Zixia Peak and had been targeting Ye Qiu. However, fortunately, Ye Qiu had never responded to this, so he didn't have any chance. Now seeing Lin Qingzhu's astonishing talent, Meng Tianzheng knew very well that the struggle between Zixia Peak and Cangjian Peak was about to start again. After all, Lin Qingzhu's identity was the chief disciple of Zixia Peak. If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be the future heir of Zixia Peak. Coupled with this astonishing talent, how could Qi Wuhui sit still? If another powerful person like True Man Xuantian emerged in Zixia Peak, how could his Cangjian Peak suppress Zixia Peak? Meng Tianzheng could see all these things at a glance. However, he was very happy to see this situation. Only through struggle could there be pressure. The disciples of the two lineages competing with each other, showing their unique skills, the one who would ultimately benefit would definitely be the sect.
"Child, how many days has your master been in seclusion? Did he say when he would come out?" Meng Tianzheng asked. The purpose of his visit to Zixia Peak this time was not to see Lin Qingzhu's cultivation.
Lin Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master didn't say. May I ask the Sect Master what the matter is? You can tell me, and I will report it to my master later."
"Well, it's not a particularly urgent matter. It's just about the martial arts competition among the seven peaks in three months. I want to ask your master whether Zixia Peak will participate this time." Currently, there was only one disciple in Zixia Peak, but there were seven participation places. The number of people was indeed insufficient. However, as one of the peaks of the Butian Sect, even if there was only one disciple, they still had to ask whether the other side wanted to participate. This was his responsibility as the sect master. He couldn't overlook any peak.
"The martial arts competition among the seven peaks..." As soon as she heard this, Lin Qingzhu's eyes lit up. Ye Qiu had told her about this before going into seclusion. She immediately replied, "Sect Master, my master told me about this. Zixia Peak will participate."
"Very good!" Meng Tianzheng nodded, expressing his satisfaction. He was also looking forward to seeing how far Lin Qingzhu could improve in three months.
Qi Wuhui, on the other hand, sneered disdainfully and said, "It seems that your master has great confidence in this competition."
"Uncle Qi, you're joking. Don't worry. If I encounter disciples from Cangjian Peak in this competition, I will definitely show mercy." Lin Qingzhu smiled faintly and said very calmly.
Qi Wuhui was immediately furious when he heard this. "Hmph, you little girl, talking big. As expected, like master, like disciple."
"Do you really think you can learn any real skills by following your useless master?"
Lin Qingzhu frowned and continued, "You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Qi. You'd better worry about yourself first. If your disciple loses to the disciple taught by my useless master in the martial arts competition among the seven peaks, it will be a slap in the face for you, old man."
"You..."
Puff...
Qi Wuhui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This girl looked so gentle and quiet, but her words were so sharp. She almost p*ss*d him off. Just like her master.
"Hmph, you little girl, disrespectful to your elders and defying your superiors. Today, I must teach you a lesson on behalf of your master and let you know what it means to respect your teachers and elders." Burning with anger, Qi Wuhui was about to take action when... A loud noise came from the back mountain.
"Hmm? What's this..." Meng Tianzheng was startled. He could vaguely feel a powerful aura coming from the back mountain. This power was extremely astonishing.
"Could there be other elders in Zixia Peak who haven't passed away?" Meng Tianzheng was greatly surprised, and so was Qi Wuhui. His face turned ashen.
"Master has come out of seclusion!" Unlike the two people's surprise, Lin Qingzhu was immediately overjoyed. She had been frightened just now. She didn't expect that just a few words from her would make Qi Wuhui lose his temper and want to hit her. How could she be a match for Qi Wuhui now? Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Ye Qiu came out of seclusion. She could feel that powerful aura, which was very familiar. It was her master who had been in seclusion for a long time.
"What? Ye Qiu..." Hearing Lin Qingzhu's exclamation of joy, the two frowned and were extremely shocked. It was impossible. This aura was at least that of a Wuju - realm powerhouse. Wasn't Ye Qiu only at the second level of the Mysterious Finger Realm?
While the two were still in doubt, a cloud flashed across the sky. In an instant, a white figure appeared beside them. The white clothes fluttered in the wind, and he walked as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard. There was a natural immortal charm all over his body, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"Hiss..." Meng Tianzheng was greatly surprised. The person who came was Ye Qiu. If they hadn't seen it wrong just now, Ye Qiu had teleported here, right? This supernatural power could only be possessed by those in the Wuju Realm. And the distance from the back mountain to here was at least ten thousand meters. He actually arrived in one step? From this, it could be seen that his cultivation level was definitely not just at the Wuju Realm.
Compared with Meng Tianzheng's surprise, Qi Wuhui's face was now completely pale. He really couldn't believe that Ye Qiu had actually broken through to the Wuju Realm, and... Judging from the distance of the teleportation, his cultivation level was probably close to the Shencang Realm. No, he didn't believe it was true. Clearly, four days ago, he was still just a small cultivator at the second level of the Mysterious Finger Realm. How did he break through to the Wuju Realm in just four days? Could it be that he had been hiding his strength? Thinking of this, Qi Wuhui's face turned deathly pale. It must be so. He had been hiding his strength. If he was really the useless person as rumored, how could a powerful person like Uncle Xuantian accept him as a disciple?
"Disciple welcomes Master's exit from seclusion." At this time, seeing Ye Qiu again, Lin Qingzhu seemed to have found her backbone. She immediately saluted and welcomed him.
"Alright, get up." Ye Qiu smiled faintly and helped her up. He already knew what had happened here just now. He looked back at Qi Wuhui and showed a meaningful smile.
"Senior Brother Qi, I heard that you want to teach my disciple on my behalf?"
