#60 - Chapter 60 Out and In Again - Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

On Mount Xiaoyao.

Ye Kong walked to the edge of Bitter Sea and looked around, but did not see Hall Master Zhu.

"Where is he?"

"Did he just stay for one day and leave?" Ye Kong frowned slightly.

"Forget it, it's good that he left, saving him from disturbing my fishing beside me."

Xiao Bai went out to cause trouble.

However, Ye Kong didn't say anything or express his opinion. Xiao Bai's temper was not good.

After suffering a loss, he would definitely retaliate.

Anyway, the matter would not be too big, so he simply let Xiao Bai go.

Thinking of this, Ye Kong shook his head, raised the fishing rod in his hand, and sat by the edge of Bitter Sea to fish.

Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hall Master Zhu leave.

"He's finally gone, no more running," Xiao Bai said thankfully.

"Although you don't have to run, you still have to cultivate properly," Lin Yaoyao reminded.

"I know, Senior Sister," Xiao Bai responded.

"Senior Sister, you are at the peak of Foundation Establishment now, right?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Not yet, just reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment," Lin Yaoyao said.

With her talent, it was not difficult to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

But she was not in a hurry to cultivate and break through, but came step by step.

Cultivating too fast would easily lead to an unstable foundation. Taking every step steadily would make future cultivation easier.

Foundation Establishment was a process, a process of solidifying the Dao foundation.

"As for you, your cultivation has not changed, still at Foundation Establishment, you are a bit useless, Xiao Bai," Lin Yaoyao mercilessly hit.

If Master hadn't dissolved my cultivation with a bowl of sugar water, I would have been at the peak of Foundation Establishment now!

I am re-cultivating from scratch, so the speed is naturally slow.

Xiao Bai muttered in his heart.

"I will work hard," Xiao Bai said.

Although he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment now, he had many methods.

If a fight really broke out, even the peak of Foundation Establishment would suffer.

His cultivation could not be measured by realm.

"There is still more than a month until the Nine Peaks Competition, you have to work hard, don't hold us back then," Lin Yaoyao said.

"Don't worry," Xiao Bai patted his chest and assured.

He had not yet taken the Nine Peaks Competition seriously.

"Senior Sister, what are the entry conditions for the Nine Peaks Competition?" Xiao Bai asked, looking up.

"The minimum cultivation is Foundation Establishment, the maximum cultivation is Nascent Soul," Lin Yaoyao said.

"Ah, there is also Nascent Soul?" Xiao Bai was discouraged.

If there were only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, then he could walk sideways.

He didn't take Foundation Establishment cultivators seriously, and he could also deal with Golden Core cultivators, although he couldn't beat them, he could run.

But encountering Nascent Soul was not the same level.

No matter how many methods you had, they would use force to overcome everything, beating you without discussion.

You simply couldn't beat them.

"So, Xiao Bai, our real opponents are not Foundation Establishment, but Golden Core and above," Lin Yaoyao said.

"However, for the sake of fairness, Star River Sect will not let us encounter Nascent Soul experts," Lin Yaoyao guessed.

If you encountered Nascent Soul experts, there would be no fun.

One Nascent Soul could destroy all Foundation Establishment.

The Nine Peaks Competition would be meaningless.

"That's true," Xiao Bai nodded, bid farewell to his Senior Sister, and went back to his room to cultivate.

… …

Hall of Law Enforcement.

Zhu Neng stood below the head seat with iron chains in his hand, his face stern.

Chen Changqing was surrounded by a group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples, about to be questioned.

"Hall Master, what mistake have I made to be brought to the Hall of Law Enforcement?" Chen Changqing asked in confusion.

He originally thought he could leave the Cliff of Reflection ahead of time, but he didn't expect to be brought directly to the Hall of Law Enforcement to be questioned.

"Chen Changqing, this was found in your room, take a good look at it," Zhu Neng said expressionlessly, taking out the token of a Demonic Cult disciple.

Chen Changqing took it in his hand and glanced at it, then suddenly said: "This is not my thing, it has nothing to do with me."

"It was found in your room, and you say it has nothing to do with you?" Zhu Neng said coldly.

"It really has nothing to do with me. I have been at the Cliff of Reflection and haven't gone back. This must be a frame-up," Chen Changqing argued.

This was a Demonic Cult token, which also represented the identity of the Demonic Cult.

Once it was confirmed, Chen Changqing would be in trouble.

"Frame-up? Who would frame you? It's because you weren't in your room that someone found the Demonic Cult token," Hall Master Zhu said in a deep voice.

Chen Changqing said helplessly: "But I don't know anything."

"Bring the witness!" Zhu Neng shouted.

Soon, a female disciple was brought up.

"Greetings, Hall Master!" the female disciple saluted.

"Do you recognize this person?"

"I recognize her, she's my junior sister."

"She was the one who found it in your room, she wouldn't slander you, would she?"

Chen Changqing turned to look at the junior sister in front of him and asked, "Junior Sister, where did you find it?"

"On your bed."

Chen Changqing: … …

"Hall Master, if I were really a Demonic Cult spy, would I just throw the token on the bed? This is definitely someone framing me," Chen Changqing argued.

"Hall Master, another token has been found," a Law Enforcement Hall disciple stepped forward and handed out another token.

"Where was it found?" Zhu Neng asked.

"In Chen Changqing's courtyard."

Chen Changqing: … …

"Damn it, who wants to kill me?" Chen Changqing couldn't help but swear.

"Chen Changqing, how do you explain this?" Hall Master Zhu asked in a deep voice.

"Hall Master Zhu, I, Chen Changqing, have always been upright and will never do anything sneaky. Moreover, this token was found so easily, someone must be framing me!" Chen Changqing said righteously.

"Upright? You colluded with Qin Shou to plot against Mount Xiaoyao, is that also upright?"

"That was an accident," Chen Changqing said without blushing or skipping a beat.

Hall Master Zhu pondered for a long time, looked at Chen Changqing, and said:

"You go to the Cliff of Reflection and wait. After this Hall Master investigates the truth, I will deal with you!"

"Yes!" Chen Changqing responded.

He knew that Hall Master Zhu was upright and would not deal with him without evidence.

Moreover, Hall Master Zhu personally investigating would find out the truth.

Hall Master Zhu took the two tokens and went to Star River Hall, handing over the tokens to the Sect Master and explaining the matter.

"No need to investigate, Chen Changqing is innocent," Luo Yangtian said.

"Sect Master, why is that?" Hall Master Zhu asked in confusion.

"Do you remember the Demonic Cult disciples that Qin Shou caught back then?"

"I remember!"

"Among those Demonic Cult disciples, two did not have identity tokens. Their identity tokens were probably lost and picked up by someone."

"Later, they were thrown into Chen Changqing's courtyard to frame him," Luo Yangtian said.

In fact, Luo Yangtian knew about it when the matter fermented and had already investigated it clearly.

The reason he didn't come forward was to let the Second Elder and the others handle it and suppress them a little.

"Alright, let's drop the matter here, just suppress Chen Changqing a little," Luo Yangtian waved his hand.

Hall Master Zhu bowed and retreated.

After he left, the Great Elder walked out.

"Sect Master, it has been investigated clearly. It was the Second Disciple of Mount Xiaoyao, a man named Xiao Bai, who rode a dog and threw it into Heavenly Sword Peak," the Great Elder cupped his fist.

Although Xiao Bai was very secretive, Luo Yangtian's eyes were everywhere in the Star River Sect.

Moreover, the only one riding a dog was Xiao Bai.

A little investigation deduced who it was.

After all, it was rare to see someone riding a dog.

"Well, let's drop the matter here, don't mention it in the future," Luo Yangtian said slowly. He was protecting Mount Xiaoyao.

Otherwise, according to the rules, Xiao Bai would be punished.

And Ye Kong.

"Understood," the Great Elder responded and turned to leave.

"Really, when will the cycle of revenge end?" Luo Yangtian shook his head.

… …

Cliff of Reflection.

Qin Shou was calculating his next move when Chen Changqing came back.
