Qin Changqing was somewhat speechless, hey, Miss Qingning, I’m still a master at least, can you not ignore me?
No wonder, Qin Changqing’s aura was only at the Tier 6 Golden Elixir, in Qingning’s eyes, he was just a dispensable role in Tianti Road.
Qin Lingshuang’s sword intent was strong, but her cultivation was too low.
Only Nangong Xue was already a worthy competitor in her eyes.
However, Qingning was a bit curious as both Qin Lingshuang and Nangong Xue’s attitudes towards Qin Changqing were overly good.
This doubt did not change until Mu Ling appeared again, which turned it into curiosity.
“My husband.” Mu Ling walked over without a second word and pulled Qin Changqing to the side. “I have a problem with my array formation, can you help me take a look?”
“Hey, hey, hey, I haven’t finished talking here yet!”
Qin Changqing looked back at Qingning and shouted, “Junior Sister Qing, we should communicate more when we’re free!”
Qin Lingshuang and Nangong Xue looked at him calmly as he left, as if they were already used to Qin Changqing’s odd behavior.
“Husband?” Qingning opened her mouth, “That’s Mu Ling Junior Sister, the daughter of Peak Master Mu, right?”
She remembered that during the Sect’s Grand Competition, Mu Ling had fought her.
At that time, she could see that Mu Ling, like herself, was devoted to cultivation.
Mu Ling cultivated array formations, and she cultivated swordsmanship.
Wait, Mu Ling Junior Sister asked Brother Qin to help her with her array formations, could it be that Brother Qin is an array formation master as well?
“Tsk, I didn’t expect Junior Sister Qingning to be so beautiful and talented, with such a powerful Golden Spiritual Root. It’s really against the natural order of things not to marry her and have children.”
Qin Changqing had never seen Qingning before and naturally didn’t know about her background.
All he heard was the sect saying how amazing the eldest sister was, with such a talent that was truly remarkable.
Golden Spiritual root is a rare attribute spiritual root, and there are only a few within the entire Lingxiao Sect that have an attribute spiritual root, and generally, the spiritual root is very low.
Some have Seventh or Eighth Grade spiritual roots, and even if they have an attribute bias, it’s not enough.
The so-called attribute spiritual root is when one’s affinity for a certain power during cultivation is much higher than that of other powers.
The most common ones are the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It’s not that the more attribute spiritual roots, the better; only one type has a promising future, while many are called mixed. Mixed means that the affinity for all attributes is similar, like Qin Changqing, who doesn’t excel at cultivating anything and is a waste in everything.
Attribute Spiritual roots need to be specifically tested, like the Lingxiao Sect only looking at spiritual root levels when recruiting people and not considering attributes. However, some major forces and holy lands have higher standards and require attribute spiritual roots.
No wonder Qingning, with such a high spiritual root level and carrying an attribute, was taken as a closed-door disciple by Liu Mengxian.
The title of Eldest Sister of Taixuan Peak carries much more weight than that of a common elder.
Of course, the status is not important.
The lady of the Qin family doesn’t care about empty fame!
However, Qin Changqing must first think of a way to get this Eldest Sister to agree to have a baby for him.
Fortunately, Nangong Xue’s relationship with Qingning seemed good. In the following time, Qin Changqing tried to build a relationship with her through Nangong Xue. Although they were not close yet, they were half-familiar.
As for the relationship, it will become good as time goes on.
Three days later, the flying boat stopped in front of a continuous mountain range.This mountain range was extremely vast, stretching as far as the eye can see, with wild beasts roaming through the woods and the occasional sighting of demonic beasts, which would quickly vanish from sight.
“Where’s the Tianti Road? There’s nothing here,” a disciple wondered aloud.
Mu Taixu did not answer. Instead, he took a step forward, stepped out of the flying boat, and bowed to the void:
“Lingxiao Sect’s Mu Taixu, bringing the disciples to participate in the trial.”
As his words fell, a gap suddenly opened in the void like a curtain being pulled apart, and Mu Taixu immediately steered the flying boat in.
Once inside, the entire scene changed.
Palatial buildings loomed before their eyes, perched amidst the clouds, with towering mountains, upside-down waterfalls, flying fairy birds, and an abundant aura of immortality.
Directly ahead was a massive palace. Outside of it was a circular square with a straight staircase descending from one end. At the end of the staircase hung a plaque with four powerful and dignified characters: “Taiyi Academy.” People were steadily making their way up the staircase.
Mu Taixu steered the flying boat to land, had everyone disembark, and followed the others, taking one step at a time upwards.
“Taiyi Academy is extremely powerful. Within Tianchuan State, no sect can enter without walking,” said Mu Taixu. “Of course, once inside, we must follow their rules. Don’t ever try to attack a demon cultivator. The academy won’t interfere with what happens outside, but inside, you absolutely must not fight.”
Qin Changing asked, “What about loose cultivators? How do they get in?”
The corners of Mu Taixu’s mouth twitched as he replied, “The Taiyi Academy will send someone to guide them. All you need to remember is our purpose for coming here: the Tianti Road. Leave any other grievances for the outside world.”
It was evident that Mu Taixu held a deep sense of awe for the Taiyi Academy, repeatedly emphasizing this point, lest any unruly juniors misbehave.
Qin Changqing found this curious. While the righteous cultivators and demon cultivators were fiercely clashing outside, they could actually sit down and chat inside of the academy. This made the academy’s position quite delicate.
Either they were so high up that they didn’t care about such matters, or perhaps the so-called righteous and demon cultivators were actually the same when looked at from a higher perspective, and it was just a matter of not being able to see the bigger picture from a more localized viewpoint.
Qin Changqing was inclined to believe the latter.
After all, among the demon cultivators, many were reasonable and fair. Not all of them were as evil as their reputations suggested, arbitrarily killing innocent people.
As the group chatted and climbed the stairs, they finally reached the square at the end.
“Heh, the people of Lingxiao Sect have arrived. I thought you wouldn’t dare to come,” sneered a voice as Mu Taixu glanced at the speaker and humorlessly replied: “Nangong Fu, it’s more like that you shouldn’t come. I’ve been to Yinxu Prefecture several times recently, but I haven’t seen the City Lord. Has the Dayan Dynasty given up on so much territory?”
Nangong Fu’s face darkened.
The loss of Yinxu Prefecture had always been a sore spot for the Dayan
Dynasty. They originally planned to deal with the situation after the Tianti
Road trials, but the Qin family swiftly expanded their power and forged Yinxu Prefecture into a solid force, even yielding many benefits that had originally belonged to the Dayan Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, even if the Dayan Dynasty sent a City Lord over, he would likely die en route.contemporary romance
What was done had been done.
“Don’t be so smug. Let’s see how you fare on the Tianti Road this time. Are you not afraid of biting off more than you can chew in your eagerness to return to the Fourth Grade?”
Mu Taixu smirked. “We from Lingxiao Sect have always known our appetites and have acted accordingly. Look at the Dayan Dynasty, though. After what happened at Duanjian Mountain, there seems to be a certain depression in your ranks. What happened to your one book, one sword? Was the book burned, and the sword broken?”
Mu Taixu’s words immediately enraged the younger members of Nangong Fu’s party.
Qin Changqing was dumbfounded. Mu Taixu seemed so compassionate in daily life that he could be mistaken for a Buddha. He never expected him to be so glib, poking at the sore spots like Yinxu Prefecture and Duanjian Mountain.
Just then, another person spoke up.
“Gentlemen, grievances from the past are best resolved rather than perpetuated. Furthermore, with the Tianti Road trials about to begin, why not set aside your grievances for now?”
Qin Changqing looked over and saw a man with an immortal-like appearance, clad in light blue robes, and with a sword emblem embroidered on his chest. Although his voice was gentle, his eyes flashed like a sharpened blade as they swept over the Lingxiao Sect..
