Chapter 42: Fairy Hongluan, Qiyuan Cave

Ziyun Back Hall
At dusk.
Xu Yang sat on the mat, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
During this period.
Xu Yang was also worried that Qing'er would barge in rashly.
I was even ready to say "Qing'er, you came at the right time" to deal with the awkward situation...
But Qing'er didn't come, and there was no sign of her even.
Xu Yang guessed that Qing'er must be scared.
As he expected, Qing'er was either thinking about new martial arts secrets or trying her best to improve her defense... Thinking of this, Xu Yang's eyes fell on his eldest disciple on the bed.
Xu Yang withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and checked his cultivation.
Because of the fusion of his eldest disciple's origin, his cultivation level jumped from the eighth level of Jindan to the ninth level of Jindan!
Only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm!
'So I really have a natural talent for living off others!'
Xu Yang thought without blushing or beating his heart.
However, if one wants to rely on his disciple to act as an automatic juicer to improve his own cultivation, it is obviously a daydream.
After all, he only has so many disciples, unless...
Xu Yang thought of a person with a relatively special status in the original novel—the leader of the Qingming Sect, Ji Hongluan, a peerless beauty with a Xuanyin evil body, and also the only one of the Qingming Sect’s two Void-Breaking Masters.
The Xuanyin Evil Body complements his Zhiyang Taoist Body, and is in line with the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth. If he can practice both every day, his realm will be steadily improved before he is promoted to a Venerable.
However, based on the few memories left by the predecessor.
My predecessor offended this person badly.
When his predecessor just joined Qingming Sect, Ji Hongluan saw that he had good talent and wanted to take him in as a disciple, but was ruthlessly rejected by his predecessor with the reason "Your talent is not as good as mine, how can you be my teacher?"
Later, his predecessor did not worship anyone as a master, but became the youngest True Lord of Transformation in the Northern Palace on his own. He also opened his own peak and became the master of Ziyun Peak. Such a feat naturally made Ji Hongluan, who originally held a grudge, look at him with new eyes.
Ji Hongluan even hinted to him privately that they could put aside the past grudges and train him to be the next leader of Qingming Sect as long as he was willing, without the need for him to become her disciple.
But the predecessor ignored it and went his own way, and sometimes even intentionally or unintentionally opposed Ji Hongluan, just because he couldn't stand the fact that Ji Hongluan was a woman, but was the leader of Qingming Sect...
Everything can be summed up in one sentence.
A straight man of steel deserves no death!
"In the original novel, I remember that Ji Hongluan's first appearance was after the opening of the cave of Venerable Qiyuan. Because the sect disciples were fighting for opportunities, they had a conflict with the other sects, which attracted the elders of the other sects. The elders then attracted the sect master. It can be said that after beating the younger ones, the older ones came, and after beating the older ones, the older ones came!"
"Of course, the final result is naturally Ji Hongluan. She alone overpowers several sect leaders, including one of the top sects in the Eastern Wasteland. From then on, the name of Fairy Hongluan became even more famous throughout the Eight Wastelands!"
Xu Yang recalled the plot of the original novel.
The fuse of this conflict was the protagonist Xiao Ye.
This guy, relying on the Qiyuan Cave Mansion to suppress the cultivation level of cultivators, the highest level is the perfect foundation building. In addition, he has a jade pendant grandfather and a special pet little mink. In the Qiyuan Cave Mansion, he always says "this thing is destined to be with me". No matter whether it is in the secret realm or brought by himself, as long as it is a treasure that the protagonist likes, he will snatch it away!
Later, he hit a wall and provoked a clan leader who came from a top clan in the East Wilderness and came to the Northern Palace for training.
The protagonist tried his best, but was no match for this genius from the Eastern Wasteland and could only flee in humiliation.
But how could the protagonist, as the son of destiny, swallow his humiliation? After escaping, he immediately went to find the leading disciple of Qingming Sect, and in front of him, he turned right into wrong, saying that his opportunity was snatched away by someone. Not only that, he was beaten half to death by the disciple from Donghuang.
Immediately, the disciple who led the team became furious, and gathered a large number of Qingming Sect disciples to go and cause trouble for the Donghuang genius.
That genius from the Eastern Wilderness was no pushover either. He single-handedly united almost all the disciples from other sects except the Qingming Sect, and fought against the Qingming Sect in the Qiyuan Cave.
Although the disciples of Qingming Sect are generally strong, they are few in number. Although the disciples of side sects are weak, their numbers are several times more than that of Qingming Sect. In addition, there is also the strongest combat force, Quasi-Eastern Wasteland Prodigy. Therefore, for a while, the two camps were in a stalemate.
And at this moment, the key figure, Ruan Yuer, the second disciple of Ziyun Peak, appeared.
Because she was born in Ziyun Peak and was deeply influenced by Xu Yang's predecessor, she put the sect first in everything. So when she learned about this, she didn't say a word and single-handedly challenged the East Wilderness genius.
Not only was Donghuang Tianjiao defeated, he was also seriously injured. The anti-Qingming Sect alliance he assembled became meaningless and soon fell apart.
As for the protagonist Xiao Ye.
He found an opportunity and beat the "dog that fell into the water". He not only seized the opportunity of the Eastern Wasteland genius, but also robbed the sect's treasure that the Eastern Wasteland genius secretly brought out from the sect - the earth-level spiritual weapon Yuanci Earth Core!
The Eastern Wasteland Prodigy was unwilling to see the sect's treasures taken away, so he left the cave and immediately sent a message to the sect elders...
Because Xiao Hongluan had beaten up the leader of the East Wilderness super power, the leader had no chance to ask Xiao Ye for the Yuanci Earth Core, and fled in disgrace with the seriously injured East Wilderness genius.
In this way, the Qingming Sect attracted almost all the hatred, but Xiao Ye, the instigator, gained huge benefits from it. After returning to the sect, he was promoted to the Jindan realm not long after.
It can be said that the plot in Qiyuan Cave Mansion laid a solid foundation for the protagonist Xiao Ye to show his prowess in the Six Meridians Competition soon after.
…
Xu Yang finished his recollection and thought to himself:
"The upper limit of the cultivation level that the Qiyuan Cave Mansion can accommodate is the Perfect Core Formation Stage, which is quite suitable for me. Should I go and join in the fun?"
The answer is yes. After all, where the protagonist’s opportunity is, is also where his opportunity is.
Not only he but all the disciples in Ziyun Peak had to go to the Qiyuan Cave.
Who knows, he might be able to get a ten thousand times critical hit reward from one of his disciples again!
You have to know that he came from a different place and got three ten thousand times critical strike returns, each of which greatly improved his combat power, so he had to go to the Qiyuan Cave!
…
…
A few days later, Tianlei Peak.
A young man with an ordinary appearance and a gloomy expression stood in front of the cave where the ninety-ninth disciple Xiong Man was, and spoke loudly:
"Xiao Ye, come and challenge me today!"
boom!
The sound was as loud as a bell and spread throughout the Tianlei Peak in an instant.
"This madman has only rested for half a day, and he wants to challenge again!"
"The brothers he challenged were either dead or injured. Is there no one who can control him?"
"Who dares to intervene? The Peak Master has issued a death order. No one is allowed to bully the weak, no one is allowed to bully the few, and no one is allowed to refuse his challenge. If anyone dares to disobey, the punishment will be sent to the cliff to face the wall for ten years, or the punishment will be severe, such as being deposed and expelled from Tianlei Peak!"
"Depose him if you want. It's better than losing your life!"
"What do you know? This position of direct succession was earned by our senior brothers with untold hardships. If we just give up like this, all the years of hard work will go to waste."
"We can't just watch Xiao Ye remain invincible with the three 'Not Allowed's'. Just challenge him at will!"
“Don’t worry, Xiao Ye will definitely fall hard this time. Although Senior Brother Xiong Man ranks 99th among the disciples, his strength is at least in the top 30. His own cultivation has reached the second level of Jindan, and he has a rock ice spirit body. His combat power is comparable to the third level of Jindan. Even if Xiao Ye has the ability to challenge higher-level enemies, it is impossible for him to cross six small realms in a row!”
"Then I'm relieved. I hope Junior Brother Xiong Man can be ruthless and beat Xiao Ye so badly that he can't get out of bed for at least half a year!"
The one who spoke was Xiong Man's direct disciple who ranked at the top. He was good at strange and ingenious skills, and his cultivation was very mediocre, only at the ninth level of foundation building. He would never be Xiao Ye's opponent, so he hoped in his heart that someone would stop Xiao Ye.
After a moment.
A man who was at least a meter tall, with a sturdy build and looked as big as a mountain walked out of the cave.
He looked at Xiao Ye in front of him, grinned, and praised:
"Junior Brother Xiao, you are really brave. You actually dare to challenge me!"
"Who do you think you are to call me your junior brother?"
Xiao Ye looked arrogant and scolded with disdain.
After experiencing several setbacks, he almost lost his confidence. However, ever since he defeated the eight disciples who were ranked ahead of him with ease, he finally found back the feeling of being in awe of everyone, being in control of everything, and being the only one!
He was intoxicated by this extremely wonderful feeling!
Therefore, within half a day, he challenged Tianlei Peak's disciple again!
Hearing this, Xiong Man's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Xiao Ye, you are indeed as unruly and disrespectful as the rumors say. However, this is the end, your winning streak will be ended by me!"
"Just you? You don't know what I'm talking about!"
Xiao Ye took action without saying a word. A ball of fire lotus in his hand instantly condensed into shape and exploded towards Xiong Man.
As soon as the fire lotus appeared, the temperature of the surrounding environment suddenly rose.
The disciples who were closer were so frightened by Xiao Ye's terrifying fire lotus that their faces turned pale and they stepped back unconsciously.
"It's this strange fire lotus again!"
"Xiao Ye uses this trick every time, but it works!"
"What kind of martial arts is this? Why is it so difficult?"
"It seems that Tianlei Peak does not have such martial arts!"
"Could it be that Xiao Ye is here to join the master with his skills?"
"No matter what, I hope my dear senior brother can be more vigilant!"
"Some of the eight brothers who lost earlier underestimated the power of the Fire Lotus and used their bodies to resist it. As a result, they were burned into human form on the spot and were seriously injured and dying!"
"It's okay. Senior Brother Xiong Man is a rock ice spirit body. According to the principle of the five elements, this Devil's Wrath Fire Lotus should not be able to hurt Senior Brother Xiong Man!"
A disciple watching said in a firm tone.
PS: Qiyuan Cave can accommodate up to the ninth level of Jindan, but it will suppress the cultivator's cultivation level, and the highest level is the perfect foundation building. Now there should be no misunderstanding! (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡
