ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 160: Heroes Compete in Shura Field

Cang Hengzi stared at him suspiciously.

Probably because he was used to it, Emperor Ying Cang just stood there with him staring, leaving him with only a cold and aloof silhouette. During this time, two kids who were just finishing their meals and wandering around climbed onto Cang Hengzi's back, one on each shoulder: "Uncle Master, Uncle Master, what are you looking at here? There's nothing in front of you!"

Cang Hengzi's eyebrows were twitching.

Look, how come you are not considered a supernatural phenomenon?

Only he can see and hear.

If he continues talking, the six kids will think he's having a hysteria. Also, the title of "uncle master" is just random and the seniority is all messed up.

"Go and play by yourself."

"We miss our uncle."

"I'll play with you later. Be good and go to the yard to eat some fruit cut by the palace maids." Cang Hengzi rubbed Tian Quan's head.

After getting the promise that someone would play with them later, Tianquan and Tianshu climbed down from him quickly.

After the two kids walked away, Cang Hengzi continued the previous topic: "Instead of doing this secretly, you might as well go to her and tell her directly."

Emperor Ying Cang remained silent.

Cang Hengzi provoked him: "Don't you dare?"

"Each has its own difficulties,"

The surroundings were gloomy and his mind was not clear. His Majesty said calmly: "You also have someone in your heart. Do you dare to say it directly in front of her?"

"I told you straight, otherwise why would my brother beat me?"

Cang Hengzi was confident and justified.

What did he do wrong? He just wanted to revive the good virtue of brothers sharing one wife. Unfortunately, his brother was so stingy that he not only disagreed but also beat him up.

Your Majesty choked.

Yes, why not?
They probably know that even if they say it, not only will they be rejected, but they may not even be able to be friends.

Saying it out loud is like pouring a basin of water on the mud. It is impossible to collect the spilled water and it cannot go back to the original state. It is better to maintain the status quo. At least she regards him as a reliable senior and doesn't mind asking him for help when there is something.

As the night wind blew, the figure who was standing there just now disappeared.

Cang Hengzi seemed to be thinking:
"I think you two are quite compatible."

One is the emperor of a fallen country, the other one recruited a bunch of minions to do chores in his own sect, let them call each other palace maids and eunuchs, and play role-playing games. Aren't they a perfect match made in heaven?
He first gave a gift of two hundred spirit stones, which were recorded in the Majesty's private treasury.

……

The axe incident that had troubled the two people in the Xinghe Palace was forgotten by Du Xinghe after a night of meditation.

She feels refreshed, and the thing she looks forward to most every day is which opponent she will face.

It’s like opening a blind box, so interesting.

Today, Shenshui and Xinyue's opponents arrived earlier than her, so she went to the cafeteria alone - she brought her own spiritual rice, and supplemented it with processed spiritual food purchased at a high price from the cafeteria, which could make her body and golden elixir reach the best condition for the day.

There were also experts on the Tianjiao list. The fact that she had easily defeated Xue Yanguang and Brother Jiang Daoyou before did not make her underestimate the enemy.

After Du Xinghe handed over the ingredients, he sat in the corner and waited.

Perhaps the novelty of "Golden Elixir of a Random Cultivator" had worn off, and today not so many people were staring at her, so she was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The only ones who still kept their eyes on her were old acquaintances.

Most of them are cultivators from the Nine Yang Sect.

Du Xinghe activated the Jade Book and looked at the new topics on the Tao from time to time.

After all, it is an Immortal Alliance competition for young cultivators.

Only a few cultivators have reached the stage of forming a pill. Most cultivators are only at the ninth stage of building a foundation or have just formed a pill. In their own sects, they may be the favored ones who are highly regarded. After coming to Xihe Garden, they realized that there are always people who are better than them, and there are always things better than what they can do. Therefore, all the posts on Taoism are complaining -

[Let me put this here. All cultivators below the Jindan stage are here to run with the others. It is impossible for them to squeeze into the top 300. ]

[The Qi Refining Stage was beaten badly these past two days, and has become obedient. ]

[Does anyone want to go back with me? My master won't let me go back, saying that it's a rare learning opportunity to have a chance to spar with someone stronger than me, even if it's a one-sided fight.]

[Your master is right. I am here to calm down and learn from my peers.]

After the first two days, people no longer paid attention to the top ten on the Tianjiao list, but focused more on their own progress.

Especially the small sects that rarely interact with each other, they all seize the opportunity to learn from each other and seek advice.

The martial arts arena is always full.

There were even some who broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage the second day after stepping down from the competition stage. Others were envious and imagined that they were also the lucky ones who realized the true meaning of the Dao through competition.

Du Xinghe half closed her eyes and suddenly felt someone was watching her.

She glanced and saw Ming Zhi, who was sitting between Su Yan and Qin Qingyue, looking at her twice every five seconds.

In front of them were three bowls of rice, two plates of stir-fried tiger meat on white porcelain plates, and a plate of steamed blue whale in front of Mingzhi.

To the inner sect of the Nine Yang Sect, this may seem a bit shabby, but the spiritual energy contained in it is enough to make the cultivators at the same table salivate with envy - this is no ordinary meat, it is carefully cooked by a chef who activates the spiritual energy in the spirit beast meat to the maximum. The scallion segments that look ordinary at first glance are all taken from spiritual herbs, which are of great benefit to the cultivators' practice.

Especially this steamed blue whale...

"See? The blue water whale was caught by Master Yuan Ming himself last night, and he paid a large sum of money to have the kitchen staff process it in advance. It is not easy to kill a large spiritual beast like a blue water whale."

"Venerable Yuan Ming treats his disciples very well."

After hearing this, some disciples from other peaks of the Nine Yang Sect murmured, "They only treat Junior Sister Ming well."

After being cooked by the chef, the meat of the blue water whale contains water spirituality, which is the most beneficial to the monks with water spiritual roots - the judges have no control over what the monks eat in the morning, whether they are fasting, eating spiritual food or ordinary food, it is up to the monks to eat more or less.

It is enviable after all to have a backer who can provide you with special treatment.

The envious eyes around her were focused on Ming Zhi, making her experience the long-lost happiness again - being loved seemed like having a backer!

When the servants brought the food, she first put a piece of whale meat into the bowls of her senior brothers Su Yan and Qin Qingyue before she started eating.

Qin Qingyue smiled gently: "Zhizhi, just eat it yourself, why are you sharing it with me? Did you forget that I have the Fire Spirit Root?"

The blue whale meat can also absorb spiritual energy from him.

However, its effect is ultimately not as great as that of Mingzhi, a water spiritual root.

"I smell it and it tastes delicious,"

Ming Zhi's eyebrows curved: "I want to share all the delicious food with Senior Brother and Brother Qingyue. Master won't blame me."

The rare and precious blue water whale meat was just within her reach.

Hearing this, even Su Yan, who was always arrogant and conceited, couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and rubbed her head.

"Ah! Senior Brother, I managed to style my hair into a double bun this morning with great difficulty."

Ming Zhi pouted and glanced at Du Xinghe secretly again. She felt relieved when she saw that there was still no one around her.

Ever since she crossed the galaxy and landed in the top ten of the Tianjiao list, she has been compared with others by her fellow disciples all day long!

What's worse is that her strength is not as good as...

She cried to Master Yuan Ming yesterday, saying that she was afraid of running into Senior Sister Du, fearing that she would take revenge on her and kill her. After Yuan Ming comforted her, he went out of his way to catch a blue water whale and prepared a special meal for her, so that she could rest assured.

Looking at Du Xinghe's performance, how can Ming Zhi feel at ease?

"Are you still worried?" Su Yan asked calmly.

"I'm not as calm as my senior brother, and you know that," Ming Zhi bit off a piece of fish angrily, "Second Senior Brother was defeated by her sword, how can I not be worried? The people at the Alchemy Peak hold a grudge against me for what happened at the last Alchemy Conference, and they are unwilling to give me the refined pills. It's really abominable."

"I have also heard about this, but is Zhizhi weaker than Fellow Daoist Xue?"

After Qin Qingyue asked this question, Ming Zhi was stunned.

Anyone with a predestined relationship with the immortals can seek the immortals and ask for the way, regardless of whether they have an extra ounce of flesh under their crotch. Qin Qingyue does not have the idea that male cultivators are necessarily stronger than female cultivators: "I remember that Venerable Yuan Ming and the three brothers under your tutelage all treated you very well. You have a natural spiritual root and no bottleneck below the Golden Core stage. If you get serious, Fellow Daoist Xue may not be your opponent. You don't have to think that you have no chance just because he lost a competition."

Mingzhi was stunned by the big bowl of chicken soup.

She would avoid sparring with fellow disciples whenever possible.

After all, she enjoyed the support and love of her three senior brothers and never thought that she could be stronger than them... Wouldn't that be like turning against Tian Gang? Even if there were occasional opportunities to spar with each other, the second senior brother would give her a break, and in the end it became just a game.

"I……"

Ming Zhi rarely spoke with a confused look: "I haven't thought about it. I don't know who is stronger between me and my second brother."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, she doesn't need to worry about this kind of problem."

Su Yan's phoenix eyes glanced at him coldly: "Because I am the strongest among them."

He has a good relationship with Qin Qingyue.

However, he didn't like that his junior sister, who had always admired him, was stunned by the words of other men.

Qin Qingyue nodded and said with a smile: "Friend Su is indeed very strong."

This good-natured and good-hearted attitude made Su Yan feel like he was hitting cotton with a punch, and he kept silent. Qin Qingyue really recognized Su Yan's ability, but after all, they both liked the same woman, who was difficult to get along with, and the atmosphere was hopelessly getting worse. Ming Zhi was very anxious, and hurriedly pulled their hands under the table:
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to think about it anymore. If I meet Du Xinghe… then I’m just unlucky! If I can’t beat him, I’ll surrender! I won’t be sad!”

Ming Zhi's voice was filled with joy: "Because I have you guys. She's alone outside... and she's not having a good life. She practices harder than me, so it's only natural that she's stronger than me. I'm very lucky to have you, my brothers, and Brother Qingyue accompany me on my journey of cultivation."

Rather than wandering around and gaining experience outside, she would rather improve her cultivation safely under the care of her master and fellow apprentices.

Su Yan snorted coldly but did not refute.

As soon as she finished speaking, the conversations in the cafeteria suddenly became quiet.

——This situation is not uncommon in Xihe Garden.

Following the line of sight of the crowd, I saw Ji Wuhuo, the son of the Ji family, walking in with a smile, personally holding a sumptuous meal of four dishes and a soup.

Wherever he appears, no matter how lively the occasion is, it will always be quiet for two or three seconds before returning to normal.

He is so beautiful, so beautiful that it leaves one speechless.

Even though he knew that he also had water spiritual roots and his own advantages were gone in front of him, Ming Zhi still couldn't help but glance at him, feeling a little resentful towards Venerable Yuan Ming in his heart.

Master Ji is not easy to get close to. Even though his own master is acquainted with the Ji family, he is unwilling to introduce her to him.

Ming Zhi used the excuse of wanting to make friends of the same generation. When Venerable Yuanming rejected her, it was not because of possessiveness - he was proud of his own excellence, and even if he really liked a woman, he was not afraid that she would like someone else. He just said: "If you want to make more connections, I can take you to the Ji family next time. Ji Wuhuo does not make friends with female cultivators... You two are not suitable to be friends."

What exactly is not suitable?
Ming Zhi poked the rice bowl twice angrily.

Ming Zhi had calmed down after being coaxed by her master, but when she saw that beautiful face, she became angry again.

It's all Master's fault!
——Ji Wuhuo knew that he was responsible for continuing the bloodline of the Ji family. He could not easily show affection to women and keep a distance from female cultivators who were not talented enough. This was good for both himself and others. Not to mention female cultivators, he didn't even have a good relationship with male cultivators. After all, with such a face, if he lived with her day and night, even male cultivators would have few people who could resist her.

Talking about love all day long, is this man still a god?

This led to Ji Wuhuo's independent and maverick style.

The colder he was to others, the more Ming Zhi envied him.

"He is handsome? You like him very much?" Su Yan asked suddenly.

"What are you thinking, brother? Of course not. I don't like him. Master said he doesn't deal with female cultivators. I don't have any good feelings towards this kind of cultivator who discriminates against female cultivators!"

Ming Zhi waved her little fist to show Senior Brother Su: "We female cultivators are also good at fighting."

…After she finished speaking, Ji Wuhuo walked up to Du Xinghe and asked:

"Can I sit here?"

Even though Du Xinghe pretended to be reading the jade edict, he could not escape this disaster.

"Sit down," she paused, "Are you fully healed?"

At first glance, it was hard to tell that Ji Wuhuo looked like he had been struck by lightning.

Only after a closer look could one see that his skin was two shades paler than before, truly as charming as cold jade.

"Thanks to the Xihe Garden's medical practitioner, I am fine after a day's rest. But I have to fight two rounds in a row today... If I meet Fellow Daoist Xinghe today, I will have to ask you to show mercy to me, or at least give me a chance to surrender."

Ji Wuhuo looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Although he spoke words that showed weakness, his demeanor was leisurely and his clear and elegant voice was like an orchid covered with dew in a valley, which made people not feel disgusted.

Du Xinghe is soft-hearted, but when he keeps showing weakness and cuteness to her, this person is simply non-existent in her eyes——

If someone is very weak and shows weakness to her, she can just ignore him and avoid him. Why should she make friends with the weak? She doesn't have the time or the leisure to do so.

Ji Wuhuo found the right balance.

Although he has water spirit roots, he is not meant to be a cauldron for others. He is at the peak of the Jindan realm, only half a step away from the Golden Core realm.

Du Xinghe: "As for the sparring, we should stop here. I just think we may have to ask the doctor to make another trip."

"I have water spiritual roots, so I recover quickly." Ji Wuhuo said.

Du Xinghe glanced at him:
"Didn't you suspect that I was responsible for the lightning strike the night before last?"

——The thunder came too strangely. The Ji family was really angry after hearing the news. Such an accident happened under the territory of Jiuyang Sect. Yesterday, he was lying comfortably. The elders of Jiuyang Sect accepted the questioning of the Ji family, and naturally asked him who was there at that time.

Ji Wuhuo said, "I was too nervous to sleep because of the competition the next day, so I went out for a walk. I was unlucky to be struck by a thunderbolt. How can I blame others?"

These words were obviously what he said in front of the Ji family and the Jiuyang Sect.

Du Xinghe was calm after hearing this: "Perhaps I have implicated you."

She stirs up trouble everywhere and has many enemies.

Even if one conceals one's identity, there is still a possibility that one will be recognized.

"It is my honor to be able to take the blame for my beloved."

Ji Wuhuo still had a calm smile on his face. What might seem greasy to an ordinary man sounded caring when he spoke. When the atmosphere was drawn into a lingering and tender direction by him, he took a sharp turn and said calmly, "If it is a natural disaster, it is my bad luck. If it is a man-made disaster, no matter who the target is, it is the fault of the person who did it, not you. It's just a thunderbolt. I wish I could get hit by a few more so that I can condense the golden elixir soon!"

She raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "When I was in the Jindan stage, I also thought about getting the Jindan Jindan Jindan as soon as possible every day--"

"Then how did you break through?"

"I had a fight with some people and was nearly chopped into a human pig."

"What about those people?"

Du Xinghe gave a chilly smile: "Of course they are all dead."

The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.

Du Xinghe radically believed that even if one possessed the "Rainbow Sword Sutra", a technique that could be cultivated to the Golden Elixir stage, it was not enough to rely on closed-door practice. If one wanted to attain enlightenment quickly, one could only fight to the death with a powerful opponent. A swordsman could only attain enlightenment when he was between life and death. There was no other shortcut.

However, when she said this, she also had the intention of scaring this elegant young man.

However, after hearing this, Ji Wuhuo's eyes sparkled when he looked at her, and he knew at a glance -

He likes it even more!
This murderous swordsman is his perfect match!

The Xuan Dynasty has a mature promotion system for monks and officials. They can be promoted according to their qualifications and merits by practicing at ease. On the contrary, there are few such ruthless desperadoes. If the head of the Ji family were here, he would definitely feel the pain of the little master who was raised in the boudoir with thousands of pampered things and was bewitched by the white-haired Yu Jian...

Du Xinghe: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ji Wuhuo pushed all his dishes in front of her and looked at her with a smile: "I really want to give birth to a child for you."

Du Xinghe pushed the dish back: "Eat more, talk less."

Ji Wuhuo: "Is there a rule of not talking while eating?"

"It's mainly to keep you from getting crazy."

Ji Wuhuo was overjoyed when he was scolded.

She was so fierce and rude, and he liked her so much.

Du Xinghe glanced at the nine-section whip on his waist. He was very interested in the strength of the young master of the Xuan Dynasty's immortal cultivation family, and -

She remembered that before the man from the Samsara Institute branch died, the person he mentioned as his backer was the Emperor of Xuan Dynasty.

She needs another connection from the Xuan Dynasty.

…But it doesn’t matter if there’s one more child.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk and I'll concentrate on eating."

Ji Wuhuo was enjoying his meal with his beloved, when the next moment, a surprised voice greeted him from the side: "Senior, why are you eating alone? Where are Shenshui and Xinyue?"

He raised his eyes and saw a simple and handsome smiling face.

She wasn't ugly, but she was not as good as him, and her eyesight was not good either - how could Du Xinghe eat alone? Wasn't he sitting in front of her?

Ji Wuhuo thought critically.

However, Jiang Zeman sat down directly next to Du Xinghe, without any sense of boundaries.

When Jiang Zeman learned that their competition would be held in the morning, he suddenly realized, "I see! I was wondering why Xinyue would let you stay alone, Senior."

"My fellow Daoist," Ji Wuhuo found an opportunity and quietly joined the conversation, "Daoist Xinghe is not eating alone. We were just having a great conversation. Didn't you see it?"

——Jiang Zeman had just entered the cafeteria and saw Du Xinghe from afar, and no one else was in his eyes.

The senior gave him an axe, hello!

As for Ji Wuhuo, he saw and recognized him after he approached, but the son of the Ji family never interacted with others, so Jiang Zeman thought he was just a passerby sitting here and using the table: "Oh, I didn't see him."

Ji Wuhuo looked at the robe on him calmly: "Young Master of the Jiang Family?"

After Jiang Zeman announced his name, Ji Wuhuo recalled the young men of the Jiang family who were of the same age, and found that this person's name was not among them, so he knew that he was a disciple from the side branch.

Ji Wuhuo suppressed his hostility towards him, greeted him with a smile, and took the opportunity to interrupt him and try to say a few more words to Du Xinghe.

Jiang Zeman was a very outgoing person, and he didn't think about whether the other person was sincere or not. Every time Ji Wuhuo wanted to interrupt him and chat with Du Xinghe, he thought he was talking to him, so he took over the conversation directly and responded enthusiastically, saving her the energy to speak.

In the eyes of others, the young master of the Ji family, who was like a flower on the mountain top, was looking at Du Xinghe intently, observing her reactions, while she responded incoherently and did not seem to be keen on this conversation.

There was also a talkative physical trainer next to him, who was responsible for half of the atmosphere group.

Ordinary monks took a look at the excitement and then looked away.

The cultivators from Xuan Country might wonder, "Didn't the young master of the Ji family never talk to female cultivators? Isn't this conversation quite interesting?"
But after all, it is other people's business. Instead of indulging in watching the show, you might as well think more about how to fight in the competition.

——Only Mingzhi’s defense was really broken.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi?"

Seeing Ming Zhi put down her chopsticks and stared blankly after eating a few bites of blue whale meat, Qin Qingyue couldn't help but call her worriedly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Ah? No...no..."

Mingzhi came back to her senses.

When faced with the delicious whale meat in front of her, she lost her appetite. In order to avoid suspicion from Senior Brother Su and Brother Qingyue, she forced herself to eat all the whale meat mixed with spiritual rice. She even forgot the method her master taught her last night to absorb the water spirituality from the blue water whale meat. Her mind was only filled with the gentle voice and considerate and thoughtful expression of the young master of the Ji family when he spoke to Du Xinghe.

Why?

That’s the young master of the Ji family!
If I could form a Taoist partnership with him, the benefits would be even greater than being with a master in the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the Ji family's foundation is far deeper than that of Venerable Yuan Ming.

Ming Zhi didn't have any intention to win Ji Wuhuo. It was only after she learned that the Ji family had a history with her master that she came up with the idea that she could get the moon first because she was close to him. But when he showed his affection to Du Xinghe, Ming Zhi felt really uncomfortable.

She can live without it, but Du Xinghe can't.

Her mind filled with jealousy, she finished her meal in a hurry, then forced a smile and said she wanted to go out for a walk alone.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Qin Qingyue asked when he saw that she looked unwell.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Qin,"

Su Yan put his hand on her shoulder and asked her to move closer to him: "However, we have to prepare for the competition this afternoon. I believe that the Taoist friends of Wuliang Sect are also waiting for Fellow Daoist Qin."

As the chief disciple of Wuliang Sect, all the disciples of Wuliang Sect followed his lead in this Immortal Alliance Competition.

Qin Qingyue's behavior of getting close to Mingzhi as soon as he arrived at Xihe Garden had already caused dissatisfaction among some of his fellow disciples.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Su."

"No trouble,"

Su Yan's tone became a little impatient: "She is my junior sister, how can you say she is a trouble."

On normal days, Ming Zhi would enjoy the two of them competing for her favor.

But at this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to escape from the cafeteria and refuse to see Gaoling Hua turn into a peacock and spread her feathers wildly in front of Du Xinghe again!
If she stayed in the cafeteria for one more second, she would go crazy!
Ming Zhi, who was extremely depressed, went outside for a walk with his senior brother to help digest the food. In the afternoon, his bracelet lit up and when he went to compete, he found that he had choked.

The blue water whale meat with rich water spirituality is indeed of great benefit to monks with water spiritual roots.

However, if one does not practice cultivation while eating, excessive amounts of water spirituality will accumulate in the esophagus and internal organs, unable to spread throughout the body and instead causing harm to the body.

The competition that could have been won easily became extremely difficult.

Seeing her embarrassing victory, fellow disciples of the Jiuyang Sect began to have some opinions, especially those with water attribute in their spiritual roots. The Jiuyang Sect disciples who also participated in this Immortal Alliance Competition went to find Venerable Yuan Ming and wanted to share some whale meat, but were coldly rejected.

Although the blue water whale was caught by Venerable Yuan Ming himself, it is natural that it should be distributed to his disciples first.

They could not blame Venerable Yuan Ming, and they no longer had the same admiration for Ming Zhi as before. Instead, they imagined how good their lives would be if Du Xinghe was still in the Jiuyang Sect - after all, before Du Xinghe retired from the sect and went down the mountain, he was the most talkative and hardworking inner disciple in the sect.

If Senior Sister Du were still alive, she would definitely treat them well.

Originally, Ming Zhi would have taken the initiative to share the whale meat with her fellow disciples after learning about this, as there was a lot of whale meat anyway, and she couldn't finish it all by herself. But in the afternoon competition, she was beaten by another Jindan cultivator who barely won, and she was injured internally. She felt better after her third senior brother Yu Qiuzhu and the medical practitioners treated her personally, so she didn't care about being a good person anymore.

Mingzhi's reputation, which had almost collapsed, collapsed even further.

She was still worried about the cafeteria, and only when she saw the full bowl of whale meat could she feel a little comforted.

At least, she has a master who will do his best to collect rare treasures for her in preparation for the competition.

Does she have the ability to cross the galaxy?

……

At the same time, Zheng Tianlu, with storage rings on all ten of his fingers, finally got off the flying boat exhausted.

Almost all the pills refined in the medicine garden that were helpful in battle were taken away by him.

Knowing Du Xinghe's bad fighting habits, he took away the bone-growing pills by weight.

He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and his eyes became firm:

"Junior sister, wait for me!"
