Chapter 26 Which Guy is the Most Handsome?
Following a six-month confinement, Hao Tianping has once again been given a six-month confinement package.
"Junior Sister Lou, I'm begging you."
As he was being led away by the disciples, Hao Tianping extended Er Kang's hand towards Lou Yuqing.
Lou Yuqing assured her, "Leave it to me."
The spirit-testing competition arrived in the blink of an eye.
With the activation of the mountain-protecting formation, the scene in front of the Wendao Sect's mountain gate underwent a dramatic change. The original green mountains and clear waters disappeared, replaced by a long staircase.
The staircase begins at the foot of the mountain and has a total of 9,999 steps. After stepping over the last step, you will reach the plaza at the end.
Around 7:00 AM, Lou Yuqing arrived at the square.
The disciples who had come to watch the event were all lined up in an orderly fashion around the square. Lou Yuqing happened to see Si Nidie in one of the groups, and she and Gu Bugai walked over there.
Si Nidie said with unusual excitement, "Finally, we can see the Spirit Testing Conference."
Lou Yuqing asked in confusion, "Senior Sister has been a member of the sect for quite some time now, haven't you ever seen the sect hold a spirit testing conference?"
“I had the opportunity before, but my brother wouldn’t allow it. He said my cultivation level was too low and forced me to cultivate in the cave.” Si Nidie nodded toward the direction of the law enforcement disciples.
Lou Yuqing looked up and saw Si Nanren standing in the group.
"With low cultivation level, one should seize the time to cultivate. When a person is young, their blood and energy are abundant, and cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort. Once the body ages, it will be too late to break through even if one wants to." Gu Bugai looked like an old man.
Si Nidie pouted: "Anyway, I have already successfully established my foundation and my lifespan has greatly increased. On the contrary, you two Qi Refining novices need to work harder and strive to break through as soon as possible, understand?"
Gu Bugai: "..."
The feeling of being urged to improve by younger generations is truly strange.
Lou Yuqing pondered that she was currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it seemed that she was not far from Foundation Establishment.
"They're here!" Si Nidie suddenly said.
Suddenly, five white clouds appeared in the sky above the square, and on each cloud stood a sect leader. The figure in the very center was, unsurprisingly, the dignified and otherworldly Sect Leader Qingxuzi.
To his left and right were Meng Zonghan and Elder Kui Tu, and further to his side were Zeng Xuangan and a beautiful female cultivator dressed in a bright red robe.
Sect Leader Qingxuzi looked at the beautiful female cultivator and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Hongyan, for lending us the Frost Toad. The fire poison in Li'er's body has been completely removed without leaving any aftereffects."
Madam Hongyan smiled and said, "It's good that my niece is alright. Besides Senior Brother Sect Leader, it seems that quite a few things have happened to you as well. Can anyone tell me about them?"
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Zeng Xuangan and Elder Kui Tu.
Zeng Xuangan smiled wryly and said, "Junior sister, please don't tease me. It was my poor judgment that caused trouble for Uncle Zixiao. Fortunately, he doesn't hold it against me."
A slight laugh escaped Lady Hongyan's lips: "Hehe."
Meng Zonghan stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "I heard that Junior Brother Zeng went back to the Zeng family. He must have gone to purge the corrupt elements within, right?"
“Yes, if I’m not at home keeping watch, these descendants will become restless. I’ll have to keep a close eye on them from now on, and I can’t let them ruin the Zeng family’s reputation.” Zeng Xuangan cares most about the Wendao Sect, and secondly about the Zeng family.
Elder Kui Tu said with relief, "Fortunately, I don't have a family behind me, otherwise, just thinking about managing such a large family would be painful."
Madam Hongyan's gaze fell on him, and she laughed, "Given Senior Brother Wei's temper, I'm afraid they would have been slapped to death by you as soon as they started causing trouble."
Elder Kui Tu was known for his volatile temper.
Meng Zonghan asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Wei, how did your disciple's matter from the other day go?"
Elder Kui Tu spat out, "Mentioning them on a perfectly good day is bad luck. What else can I do? Even if they don't die, I'll send them to their deaths."
Sect Leader Qingxuzi reassured him, "Alright, business is more important."
Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions turned solemn.
A moment later, Lou Yuqing and the others saw five beams of light of different colors fly out from the clouds and strike the void at an extremely fast speed.
A spatial fluctuation occurred, and suddenly a huge light screen appeared, displaying the scene of the seeker standing at the bottom of the steps.
"Thump!"
The resounding bell rang, marking the start of the first stage of the Spirit Testing Competition.
Everyone started walking up the stairs.
They all knew that only those who reached the finish line were qualified to join the Wendao Sect.
Lou Yuqing stared at the light screen, trying to find the friend Hao Tianping had mentioned—"Look around the crowd, the most eye-catching one is him!"
These are Hao Tianping's original words.
Lou Yuqing focused her attention on observing.
"This one?" — It's as fat as a ball.
"Still this one?" — Three meters tall.
"Could it be this?" — Hair like an antenna.
Lou Yuqing was dazzled by the sight and rubbed her temples to relieve the soreness in her eyes.
Which one is it?
In her frustration, she suddenly caught sight of the starting point of the stairs, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Are people still late these days?!
As everyone rushed towards the highest point in the sky, a white shadow appeared at the bottom of the steps.
To her astonishment, the white figure moved with ghostly speed, instantly surging up the hundred steps, then overtaking the last person, then two, then three…
It was supposed to be climbing stairs, but it felt like this person was running a marathon.
Si Nidie exclaimed, "Such speed!"
The sect disciples' gazes then shifted to Bai Ying, wanting to see how long he could run. After all, these nearly ten thousand steps were quite a test of one's physical fitness.
Sect Leader Qingxu stroked his long beard and said with satisfaction, "This year we have several promising talents. I have heard that the Dao Sect has successors. If any of you junior brothers and sisters have someone you like, you may wish to take them under your wing and teach them carefully."
Elder Kui Tu proudly said, "I have Ming'er, that's enough."
Madam Hongyan said enviously, "Senior Brother Wei is truly blessed, unlike Junior Sister, who, due to the special nature of her cultivation method, will probably never find a disciple to inherit her mantle in this lifetime."
Lady Hongyan's cultivation technique progressed rapidly, but at the same time, fire poison would continuously accumulate in her body. If she didn't possess the Fire Spirit Body, she really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Nevertheless, she eventually succumbed to the torment of the fire poison and sought out an ice toad to remove it.
If anyone else were to practice her techniques, not only would they not receive any benefit, but they would also suffer a backlash that would be thousands or even tens of thousands of times more severe, ultimately resulting in their death from the fire poison.
Therefore, ordinary people simply cannot become her disciples.
Zeng Xuangan waved his hand in refusal, showing no intention of accepting a disciple.
Meng Zonghan thought it best to just copy the answer: "Which ones did the sect leader take a liking to? Shuangya is complaining that her family is short-lived and she wants to add some liveliness."
Qingxuzi pointed at the white figure and glanced at him sideways: "Do I need to tell you? This kid runs so fast, how could you not have your eye on him?"
Meng Zonghan touched his nose: "I still couldn't hide it from my senior brother's discerning eyes."
Suddenly, the image on the screen began to shake.
To be precise, people started rolling, like dominoes, one after another, down the steps.
The person who had pushed the dominoes, after nervously withdrawing their hand, shouted at the white figure who had run up from the side, "You did it! Why did you push them!"
White Shadow: ?
No, are you being polite?
