Immortal Journey

Chapter 36
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and soon came the day of the inner door competition.
The Inner Sect Competition was held at a place called Jingyan Peak between Qinv Peak and Hongyi Peak. Jingyan Peak was artificially transformed into a tower shape with twelve floors in total. Except for the highest floor, each floor It is a wide ring-shaped field, which is mainly used for various small competitions in the Yinling Gate.
The number of disciples participating in this year's Inner Sect Competition is the same as in previous years. There are about [-] disciples in the middle stage of Qi training, and about [-] disciples in the late stage of Qi training.
Due to the large number of disciples in the middle stage of Qi training, the preliminary competition was arranged to be held in the square on the first floor of Jingyan Peak. Among them, 950 four disciples were in groups of three, that is, 310 eight groups, and the remaining 950 disciples were in groups of three. Two groups, a total of [-] two groups.
There are ten rings for two-person groups and three-person groups. The preliminary round is to determine the top three groups from each ring. It takes about three days. After three days, the top thirty groups continue to compete until three groups win. After that The top three of the two-person group will compete with the top three of the three-person group in the final, and the top three who win will be rewarded in the door.
When Ren Ling and the others came to the square on the first floor of Jingyan Peak, it was already crowded with people, and the three of them stopped and watched calmly,
"Sure enough, there are only a few people with cultivation like ours." Huang Hetian frowned slightly, "there are too many disciples participating."

"It's probably not easy to stand out from the crowd." Zhong Yu's expression became a little heavy, "Except for cleverness, if you fight hard, the chance of winning will be very low."

Ren Ling was indifferent, "It's okay to treat it as a trial, the two juniors should relax, even if you lose, it doesn't matter."

"Senior Sister Ling said that," Huang Zhong and the two looked at each other and smiled, "It's our fault."

Ren Ling shook her head and smiled lightly. She knew that the two juniors were not paranoid, so she stopped talking and quietly let go of her spiritual knowledge. It seemed that the disciples in the square hadn't discovered her spiritual knowledge. He wondered, "Could it be that my spiritual consciousness is stronger than the disciples of the sixth stage of Qi training?"

In fact, although Ren Ling's practice of distraction has not made great progress, the breadth and precision of spiritual control are increasing day by day. It is not an exaggeration to say that his current level is beyond that of a disciple at the seventh level of Qi training.
Even so, Ren Ling still carefully controlled his spiritual knowledge, and took it back after scanning it slightly. He probably had a count of the cultivation level of the participating disciples this time. Among them, about [-]% of the disciples were at the sixth level of Qi training, and the largest number was There are about [-]% of the fifth level of Qi training, and the remaining two are the fourth level of Qi training.
"elder sister!"

Ren Qing ran over from not far away, took Ren Ling's arm and said with a coquettish smile, "Qing'er searched for a long time before I found my sister."

Ren Ling smiled slightly, Ren Qing has also recently cultivated to the fourth level of Qi training, so she can participate in this competition, she stretched out her hand to brush the messy hair on Ren Qing's forehead, "We also just arrived." She raised her eyes and looked at The two men following Ren Qing said, "These two are...?"

Ren Qing smiled shyly, and introduced, "Sister, they are my dual cultivation partners, the one on the left is called Lu Xiao, and the one on the right is called Tong Yue."

After greeting each other, Ren Qing glanced lightly at Zhong Yu who was at the side, then quickly looked away, and said to Ren Ling, "Sister, do you know that only four groups of our junior disciples participated in this inner training?" In the gate competition, every main peak has exactly one group, do you think it’s a coincidence?”

"Oh?" Ren Ling never noticed this, and replied with a smile, "No wonder I don't see any familiar faces."

"By the way," Ren Qing glanced at Zhong Yu again, and said shyly like a lotus flower, "Brother Zhong Yu, I have just advanced to the fourth level of Qi training, and I feel that I am not very good at practicing fireball recently Okay, I wonder if Brother Zhong Yu can give you some pointers?"

Zhong Yu glanced at Ren Ling noncommittally, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his deep eyes could not see any emotion, and he said lightly, "I have only advanced to the fourth level of Qi training, and I can't say that I am very good at fire bombs. But it's okay to learn from each other, I'm afraid it won't help Junior Sister Ren much."

"How could it be?" Ren Qing's eyes lit up, his face turned bright red, and he walked quickly to Zhong Yu's side and pulled his sleeve and said,
"There are a lot of people here, Brother Zhong Yu, shall we go over there and talk?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and waved to Ren Ling to apologize, then pulled Zhong Yu to walk to the corner.
Ren Ling and Huang Hetian looked at each other, and they greeted Ren Qing's double cultivation partner in a tacit understanding, and then walked slowly towards the less crowded place.
The two found a quiet place, and after a moment of silence, Huang Hetian said suddenly,
"Senior Sister Ling doesn't seem to be angry."

"Why are you angry?" Ren Ling was slightly surprised, and didn't understand what he was referring to for a while.
Huang Hetian frowned, staring at Ren Ling with his slender phoenix eyes, and answered after a while, "Zhong Yu, he is your partner for dual cultivation."

"…so?"

"So it doesn't matter if you let him be entangled by other female cultivators?"

Should she matter?
Ren Ling had never thought about this question, but Huang Hetian's serious tone made her think about it, and asked after a while,
"Junior Brother Huang, we are not real dual cultivation partners, are we?"

Ever since she knew the ins and outs of Yin-Yang Fruit, and the fact that these two juniors had never practiced Yin-Yang Kung Fu, she unconsciously concluded that they were just like her, who had to give up the Kung Fu for some inexplicable reason. What was the reason? She was not curious, after all everyone has their own secrets, just as she promised her mother that she would never tell anyone. She thought that the two of them also had the same idea, that they are not just a pair of dual cultivation partners. Accessible.
"...It can be said that," Huang Hetian paused for a moment, "but, senior sister, do you know what kind of relationship is between the couples of double cultivation?"

"Naturally, the practice of dual-cultivation skills promotes each other and increases the relationship of cultivation." This is the basic knowledge of the cultivation world, even a five-year-old child knows it,
"Shuangxiu couples, to put it bluntly, should be quite similar to the relationship between husband and wife in the mortal world."

"Then, does senior sister know how to double cultivate a three-person dual cultivation partner like us?"

"...This..." Ren Ling looked at Huang Hetian calmly with both eyes, and nodded slightly, "I have heard Junior Sister Tong say it, and I know it, Junior Brother Huang, don't worry, since we are not real partners of dual cultivation, you naturally Nor will it fall to... fall to..."

"Falling into such a sad situation?" Huang Hetian smiled lightly, a flash of deep thought flashed across his gentle face, and asked again,
"Senior Sister Ling, if one day, Junior Brother Zhong and I had to choose someone as our partner for dual cultivation, what would you do? Please, answer me seriously."

Ren Ling said nothing, and after thinking for a long time, he replied, "Junior Brother Huang, if that's the case, I wouldn't choose any of them."

She has been educated by her mother since she was a child, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes to believe that it is a sacred thing for a man and a woman to form a partner, just like how her mother lived alone year after year in order to protect her father's love. It is increasing year by year. Although she has never had a relationship, she also knows that it is not just a random designation like the Yinlingmen.
The two were speechless for a while, and fell into deep thought.

"elder sister!"

Ren Qing's arrogant voice interrupted their silence, Ren Ling straightened his expression, saw Ren Qing and Yu Xiao walking over with Zhong Yu on one arm, squinting their eyes slightly, and could easily feel the tension between the two women atmosphere of.

Thinking of Huang Hetian's words just now, when Ren Ling glanced at Zhong Yu, she looked away in embarrassment, but the reality couldn't help her thinking that she could dodge like a tortoise.

"Obviously I was the one who went to Brother Zhong Yu first!"

"Brother Yu gets to know me better, you can just go!"

"What did you say?! Brother Zhong Yu is my sister's double cultivation partner, if you say he is more familiar with me!"

"Dream you! Where were you when I was playing with Brother Yu?"

"￥%@￥#!"

"$%#$%#!!!"

Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Ren Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised a hand and shouted, "Quiet me!"

Thinking that they had never seen Ren Ling lose their temper before, everyone stopped talking and all eyes turned to her.

Clearing his throat, Ren Ling said, "The competition is about to start, Junior Brother Zhong, Junior Brother Huang, let's hurry over."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Ren Qing and Yu Xiao's reaction, they stretched out their hands and used skillful force to pull Zhong Yu over, glanced at Huang Hetian, and the three of them walked quickly towards the place where the crowd gathered.
