Chapter 102: Danger!
After the Ninth Elder left, Qin Lu went back to his room. To reach the Out of Body Realm in three years, it seemed that he couldn’t use the ordinary method. Otherwise, not to mention three years, even ten years would be impossible. [System, I need rewards for improving my cultivation. I want to do a mission.]. [Wait until your cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm before you can accept the mission.]
“Okay.” Qin Lu had no choice but to temporarily put the system aside and cultivate relying on himself. He took out the pill given to him by the Ninth Elder and began to cultivate.
The night passed, and the next morning, Qin Lu successfully entered the first level of Refining Qi. In order not to waste time, he continued to cultivate.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In order to improve Qin Lu’s strength, the Holy Maiden Sect also gave him a lot of resources. In just a month, his cultivation rose to the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement. This kind of progress shocked the people of the Holy Maiden Sect. Seven levels in a month—this kind of progress was really shocking.
Although Qin Lu started from scratch, no one looked down on him or bullied him. Instead, they took the initiative to help him. After all, if Qin Lu had not defeated the Demon Emperor, perhaps they would all be dead. Everyone remembered his kindness in their hearts.
On this day, Qin Lu was cultivating with the disciples when a figure suddenly appeared. It was none other than Xiao Yichen.
After coming out of the Xiao Family’s ancestral land, Xiao Yichen’s strength had reached the Late Nascent Soul Realm, which was a full two realms higher. He was close to the Out of Body Realm.
He planned to come over and compare moves with Qin Lu again. However, when he arrived at the Holy Maiden Sect, he found out that Qin Lu had almost died after defeating the Demon Emperor. Now, he had lost all his cultivation and had to start from scratch.
He was shocked that Qin Lu could defeat the Demon Emperor, but when he thought that Qin Lu was only in the Qi Refinement Realm, he wanted to bully him. He had fought with Qin Lu several times, but he had never won. If there was a chance to torture Qin Lu, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.
When he arrived at the cultivation square, Xiao Yichen swaggered over. “Qin Lu, long time no see. It seems that you’ve been doing well recently!”“Oh, Young Master Xiao, how come you have time to come to our Holy Maiden Sect?”
“Qin Lu I have lost to you a few times before. Today, I want to exchange moves with you.”
“Sparring? A late Nascent Soul cultivator wants to spar with me, a Qi Refinement cultivator. What? If you want to bully someone, just say it. Why do you have to make it sound so dignified?”
“Hehe, so what if I bully you? Hit me!” Xiao Yichen smiled proudly.
“Xiao Yichen, I remember that we fought with the demonic sect so many times before. Your Xiao family was the closest to our Holy Maiden Sect, but you didn’t send any reinforcements.”
“The other sects will send people to show their concern, but not your Xiao family. Do you still have the face to come to our Holy Maiden Sect? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
“Uh…” Xiao Yichen’s face changed. He didn’t know what to say for a while.
“That’s right. The Xiao family is really something. Previously, they told the outside world that they were close neighbors of the Holy Maiden Sect. In the end, when the Holy Maiden Sect was in danger several times, not a single person from the Xiao Family came to help.”
“Young Master Xiao, please return. We don’t want to see you.”
“That’s right. Hurry up and leave. Don’t come to our Holy Maiden Sect.”
“I used to idolize you and call you Senior Brother Xiao. Bah! We don’t welcome you. Hurry up and leave.”
Those disciples grumbled one after another, and the whole martial arts field soon became lively. Xiao Yichen was also said to be worthless.
He was infuriated with the way they were scolding him, and so he wanted to kill these disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect in front of him. But if he did, the Holy Maiden Sect’s Sect Master would probably never let him go. Xiao Yichen had no choice but to retreat helplessly. However, before he left, he stared at Qin Lu with a murderous look in his eyes.
As soon as Xiao Yichen left, the system’s voice suddenly sounded. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for angering the protagonist away. You have gained three years of cultivation. A prompt is given.]. [What prompt?]. [Your life is in danger tonight.].
[My life will be in danger tonight? What danger? Is someone trying to kill me tonight?].
“I haven’t offended anyone in the Holy Maiden Sect. Is Xiao Yichen trying to kill me?” Qin Lu’s turned serious.
He was now only at the seventh stage of the Qi Refining Stage. He couldn’t even use the first sword of the Nine Swords of the Firmament, nor could he use the Sea God’s Halberd. If someone wanted to kill him, he definitely couldn’t avoid it. He had to think of another way.
Thinking of this, Qin Lu said, “System, give me the reward.” [Okay.]. The system directly poured three years of cultivation into Qin Lu’s body.Then, Qin Lu’s strength began to rise steadily. He directly skipped the seventh, eighth, and ninth stages of the Qi Refining Stage and directly reached the beginning stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The disciples in the vicinity were stunned when they found that Qin Lu’s cultivation had suddenly increased so much.
“Senior Brother Qin, how did your cultivation suddenly increase so much?”
“Maybe it’s because the pill I took before suppressed my spiritual qi, so it increased so quickly. By the way, I still have something to do. I won’t cultivate today. I’ll come back tomorrow. Junior Sisters, goodbye.” Qin Lu turned and left on his sword.
A moment later, Qin Lu arrived at the Vice Sect Master’s Full Moon Peak. This place was different from Wuchen Peak. In the past, there were only him and Ye Qingcheng on Wuchen Peak. After Ye Qingcheng left, he was the only one left.
However, on Full Moon Peak, other than Vice Sect Master Tantai Yue, there were also Tantai Yue’s family and a few personal disciples, which made the place very lively.
Seeing Qin Lu come over, the disciples of Full Moon Peak came forward to greet him. Their attitudes were very enthusiastic. Qin Lu also greeted everyone very politely.
“Eh, Qin Lu, you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Stage?” The Vice Sect Master exclaimed. To be able to reach this realm in a month was no ordinary feat!
One had to know that even Ye Qingcheng, who had a monstrous talent for cultivation, had to cultivate for two years before she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Qin Lu actually only needed a month. It seemed that he was very likely to reach the Out of Body Stage within three years!
“Yes, I just advanced. Vice Sect Master, I’m looking for you today because I need your help with something.”
“Oh, what’s the matter? Just say it.”
“Can I talk to you in private?”
Tantai Yue was confused for a moment. Then she led him to her residence. When they arrived at her residence, Tantai Yue asked, “Speak, what’s the matter?”
“Vice Sect Master, do you still remember the Abyssal Demon Venerable’s sudden attack on Wuchen Peak?”
“Of course I remember.”
“What’s wrong? Could it be that someone wants to break into Wuchen Peak again?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t Qingcheng no longer on Wuchen Peak? Could it be that someone wants to deal with you this time?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you have any idea who?”
“I’m not sure about the details, but it’s related to the Xiao family.”
“The Xiao family?” Tantai Yue was a little surprised. Speaking of the Xiao family, ever since Xiao Ming brought his son Xiao Yichen to propose marriage and failed, there has been no news of them.
Why did they suddenly want to deal with Qin Lu? Could it be that the Xiao family knew about Qin Lu’s current situation, so they wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him?
