The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 123 : The Number One Qi Condensation Cultivator of the Five Continents!

Qin Xixue widened her eyes, "Did you make a mistake? I clearly refined two earth-grade pills. I won this match!"

The judge said, "Disciple, please calm down. You indeed refined two earth-grade pills, but they are low-grade earth-grade pills. Your opponent refined three mid-grade earth-grade pills, with a success rate of 30%."

"Whether in terms of pill quality or success rate, Mu Chihuai is superior to you."

Qin Xixue's steps were unsteady as she turned to look at the arena. She saw the spirited young man form a seal with his hands, imprinting the final pill mark.

Three earth-grade pills, each perfectly round pill suspended with two crimson-gold pill patterns around it.

They were indeed mid-grade earth-grade pills...

Her face suddenly turned pale, blood rushing to her head. Someone had successfully refined mid-grade earth-grade pills, with an astonishing success rate of 30%...

How is this possible...

It should have been her...

The soul of the elder was also extremely surprised, not expecting such a talented disciple to appear among this generation of pill refiners.

Although he was now only a remnant soul, with limited power when possessing Qin Xixue's body, even if he had participated in this competition in his prime, he might not have been able to refine mid-grade earth-grade pills.

This youth's talent was even stronger than his in his prime.

This arena match had attracted the attention of the upper echelons of various immortal sects and families. It had been a long time since they had seen such an exciting competition.

Mu Chihuai truly deserved the title of the new generation's pill refining champion.

"It's not over yet."

Chu Sang looked with interest at the dispirited Qin Xixue. She gathered spiritual energy in her hand, and everyone saw a small magical treasure fly out from Qin Xixue's body, grasped in her hand. "What's this?"

"Give it back to me!"

Qin Xixue cried out in shock, reaching for her empty waist. She was completely panicked, wanting to quickly snatch the object back.

How could a frail pill refiner possibly snatch something from a sword cultivator?

Chu Sang held her sword to Qin Xixue's throat, the casual smile on her face turning cold, "Why are you so flustered? Could it be that you've done something unconscionable?"

"Insolent!"

Chang Yu played the hero, protecting the panic-stricken Qin Xixue behind him. He swept his sleeve heavily, knocking away the silver-white long sword.

A strike from a late Divine Transformation stage cultivator was overwhelming for a Golden Core stage cultivator.

It was fortunate that Chu Sang dodged quickly, avoiding the aftershock of the attack.

Chang Yu looked at Chu Sang with a gloomy expression, "In front of everyone, you openly attack a fellow disciple and deliberately provoke. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'd like to ask Immortal Chang Yu, what are you trying to do?" She grinned, openly displaying the magical artifact in her hand.

"That's a Soul-Locking Lure!"

Exclamations came from the crowd.

"This is an excellent celestial artifact, extremely good at sneak attacks. Unlike ordinary hidden weapons, it can directly inflict heavy damage on the enemy's divine sense!"

"But Qin Xixue is just a direct disciple, how could she have such a celestial artifact? And she even brought it to the competition, could it be..."

The unstoppable rumors made both master and disciple look uncomfortable.

Chang Yu, this scoundrel, could really keep his composure. No matter how tumultuous his inner anger was, he maintained the cold and self-possessed demeanor of an elder, saying coldly, "Xiao Xue is one of my only two direct disciples. When she goes down the mountain for experience, she inevitably encounters dangers. As her master, I naturally should leave her some life-saving measures. Do any of you have objections?"

One of only two direct disciples.

Chu Sang couldn't help but laugh inwardly. She no longer had any feelings for Tianyan Sect and Chang Yu, but hearing these words still felt particularly amusing.

After taking so many benefits from her, in the end, she couldn't even get any gratitude.

Those ten years of hers were truly a complete fool's errand.

Chu Sang was a person who distinguished clearly between gratitude and grudges. Chang Yu's only kindness to her was picking her up from the mortal realm more than ten years ago. Fine, she acknowledged it, repaying this kindness with her spirit root. They could be considered even.

But after that, his repeated schemes, even trying to frame her senior brothers and others, all these new accounts she had kept in her heart.

"If you want to prove your innocence, that's easy. The light screen of the arena can be replayed anyway. At worst, we can watch it again to see if your little disciple made any sneaky moves."

Accompanied by a clear, laughing female voice, the Divine Transformation stage pressure that Chu Sang and the others had been forced to bear was instantly dispersed.

Chang Yu's expression also changed slightly as he frowned, looking at the purple-robed woman walking over leisurely. This person could easily dispel his pressure...

"Master Spring Flower!" Tantai Ming howled, happily rushing over.

Immortal Chanyu almost stumbled and fell. She walked forward, shielding them, "You little brats, your master has come to back you up."

She waved her hand, smiling, "Tens of thousands of eyes are watching. If you want to prove your disciple's innocence, it's simple. Just replay the light screen once, right? I wonder what this elder is so nervous about?"

Chang Yu sneered, "Who are you? With what tone are you speaking to me, and what qualifications do you have to make the Eight Great Immortal Sects specially review the images for you?"

"What qualifications do I have?"

Immortal Chanyu sneered, swinging a heavy palm that sent Chang Yu, a late Divine Transformation stage cultivator, crashing into the wall, stuck so tightly he couldn't be pried off. "How about that, do I have the qualifications now?"

"As for my status, I'll tell you now."

She cleared her throat and spoke with full vigor, "I am Immortal Chanyu, Sect Leader of Lingqing Sect, the Number One Qi Condensation Cultivator of the Five Continents, understand?"

"......"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Not to mention the onlookers whose CPUs had overheated and hadn't reacted, even Chu Sang and the others were dumbfounded by this display.

Damn, their master was actually this powerful? That was one of the male protagonists, an invincible existence in the early and middle stages of the plot!

Just like that... slapped onto the wall?!

These little brats had truly been disrespectful on a daily basis!

But, what cultivation realm did Master just say she was... Qi Condensation stage?

The scene paused for several seconds before the air started flowing again. The elders of several major sects looked uncertainly at the purple-robed woman who had descended from the sky and stirred up trouble. They naturally hadn't heard of which sect Lingqing Sect was, and how had they never seen such a powerful expert before?

"Qi Condensation stage, is that for real? Are Qi Condensation cultivators so formidable nowadays?"

"How the hell can this be Qi Condensation stage?"

Did they think everyone was blind?

If this was Qi Condensation stage, wouldn't their many years of cultivation be a joke?

"You really believe that."

Someone saw through the mystery and said coldly, "She must have cultivated some kind of technique, so to outsiders, her cultivation level appears to be just an ordinary Qi Condensation stage."

"But the terrifying pressure of that palm just now was no less than a Unity stage cultivator..."

"Hey, you old men up there, have you seen enough? Hurry up and open the light screen replay. This person is still waiting to prove her disciple's innocence!" Immortal Chanyu said brazenly.

It must be said that Master was quite skilled at provoking people. The sect elders, who were usually pampered by their disciples, had never been called old men before. They were all huffing and puffing,

But the newcomer's identity was unclear and her strength was great, so on one hand, they were somewhat unsure and unwilling to provoke a conflict between the two sides.

On the other hand, this competition had indeed raised suspicions, and many cultivators were curious about which side was being framed.

Half an incense stick's time later, the light screen image was replayed. Everyone stared intently at the light screen, not wanting to miss any possible detail!

Finally, halfway through the competition, someone discovered that Qin Xixue had secretly used the Soul-Locking Lure.

The competition valued fairness and justice above all. How could someone cheat and frame others?

The master and disciple pair had thoroughly angered the public. It was fortunate that keyboards didn't exist in this era, otherwise, they would have been typed to pieces.

Chang Yu, who had just pried himself out of the wall, couldn't save face anymore. Seeing that the matter had been exposed with no chance of recovery,

He actually turned to reprimand Qin Xixue, "...This was a life-saving treasure your master gave you, yet you used it in such an occasion? You've truly disgraced me."

This operation left even the female protagonist dumbfounded, "Master, I..."

She was so aggrieved that her eyes reddened. Originally being scolded by a group of idle people until she was a mess, she hadn't expected her master to come and reprimand her as well.

But clearly, it was he who had given her this thing, telling her to win first place to bring him glory.

Seeing the icy atmosphere between the master and disciple, Chu Sang couldn't help but click her tongue. This male protagonist claimed to care so much for the female protagonist on the surface, but in the end, he still prioritized his own face.

The Sect Leaders and Elders of various major sects also took an absolute stance against cheating. In the end, Qin Xixue was disqualified from the competition rankings and forbidden from participating in the competition for the next fifty years, which meant she would never have the chance to participate in the sect competition in this lifetime.

As for Mu Chihuai, as the champion of this pill refining competition, he received enthusiastic pursuit from several old men of the Pill Transformation Sect.

The young man's face darkened, "I've already said I won't join your sect. How many times do I have to say it?"

"Oh, you silly child, joining our sect is a sure win. Our Pill Transformation Sect is the top academy for pill refiners in the cultivation world. If we say you're a one-in-ten-thousand seedling, you're destined to take root in our most fertile soil. Our entire sect will spare no resources to fertilize you, helping you grow strong!"

Mu Chihuai: "...Are you here to disgust me?"

Chu Sang quickly pulled the outspoken Sixth Senior Brother aside and whispered, "Why don't you just give in to them, Sixth Senior Brother?"

Those elders from the Pill Transformation Sect also stuck to him like maggots, grinning from ear to ear, "That's right, that's right, give in to us, young man. It's all beneficial and no harm to you!"

"If you don't want to leave your sect, that's fine too. You can nominally remain a disciple of Lingqing Sect, just hold the title of a dual disciple of the Pill Transformation Sect. We'll still cultivate you wholeheartedly as a direct disciple!"

Don't be fooled by how these elders were fawning now. They were usually aloof and steady.

Champions of other pill refining competitions didn't receive such treatment.

They truly valued Mu Chihuai's talent. It was too tempting. If they didn't recruit him under their sect, they would have nightmares and cry themselves to sleep.

Sixth Senior Brother's father, Bai Heng, who was also an outstanding direct disciple who graduated from the Pill Transformation Sect, came over to persuade, "The Pill Transformation Sect has many unique copies of ancient pill refining secret manuals. The fragment you obtained from the family inheritance ground years ago, if you want to complete the pill formula, the sect's library might be helpful to you."

"There's also an ancestor of our Mu family stationed in the sect. If you're not comfortable, you can directly become a disciple under the Mu family ancestor. The ancestor will naturally guide you carefully."

It must be said that the old father knew his child's nature best. As soon as he spoke, Mu Chihuai was indeed moved.

He glanced at Little Junior Sister. Chu Sang also patted his shoulder, fully supporting him to go.

Mu Chihuai nodded and said, "Alright, I'm willing to become a dual disciple of the Pill Transformation Sect."

In the end, Sixth Senior Brother was accepted as a dual disciple of the Pill Transformation Sect, and Chu Sang also gained ten points. Everyone was happy.

The elders were afraid this good seedling might run away halfway again and wanted to quickly take him to hold the discipleship ceremony. Mu Chihuai smiled and said, "Wait, I have one more thing to do."

He moved his fingertips slightly, seeming to make some kind of seal, and Qin Xixue on the other side of the platform suddenly began to itch and hurt all over her body.

"Ah..." She was so uncomfortable she almost rolled on the ground, gritting her teeth in hatred.

It must have been Chu Sang and the others who did this!

Of course, no matter how she broke down in anger, that was a matter for later. The focus shifted back to the sword cultivator competition.

Sixth Senior Brother's pill refining championship was basically set in stone and wouldn't change anymore.

The arena matches on the sword cultivator side had also entered the intense late stage.

Chu Sang had passed through five levels and defeated six generals, her ranking stabilizing in the top ten.

Ranking first was Mo Qingchen.

With his strength at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he was already outstanding, and there was no one with higher strength than him. He cultivated the most domineering Heartless Sword Dao. In these dozens of arena matches, he basically knocked his opponent off the stage with one sword in every match, without any hesitation.

Here, it's necessary to insert an explanation of the scoring rules for the sword cultivator competition.

Because each cultivator only had a fixed number of fifty arena matches, the scoring rules were simple. Defeating an opponent would earn points.

As for how many points were earned, it was related to the speed of the battle and the cumulative points of the opponent.

The faster the current battle ended, the more points the winner would earn.

The higher the opponent's cumulative points, the more points the winner would earn.

Opponents were randomly drawn, so one could only gain more points by winning battles faster.

Mo Qingchen's domineering style of breaking through everything with one sword undoubtedly allowed him to climb to the top of the sword cultivator rankings in the shortest time.

Almost all the sword cultivators present were lighting candles and praying in their hearts, hoping desperately not to be matched against Mo Qingchen.

After drawing lots, the opponents were revealed.

Cultivators who saw that their opponent wasn't Mo Qingchen all secretly breathed sighs of relief.

Only one person in the entire arena had a very unpleasant expression, and that was Xuanyuan Cheng.

The young man's face was extremely dark, his hand holding the jade lot visibly unsteady.

Chu Sang looked at this unlucky fellow and raised an eyebrow. Now there would be a good show to watch.

The Mo family and the Xuanyuan family had some history.

Although Xuanyuan Cheng was also at the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't escape the tragic fate of being kicked off the stage by Mo Qingchen within ten moves. Mo Qingchen's final move was—Sword Intent Materialization!

The frosty sword energy transformed into an ice dragon, roaring forth, breaking through the opponent's entire defense line with one strike.

"To have comprehended Sword Intent Materialization with a Nascent Soul body, he truly is the most renowned genius youth in the cultivation world."

It should be known that across the entire cultivation world, disciples who could comprehend Sword Intent were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Mo Qingchen had already mastered Sword Intent Materialization, which was truly admirable.

Chu Sang also stared intently at the activity on the stage, her fingertips at her side moving slightly.

Through these dozens of battles, she had discovered that Sword Intent was not quite enough against body cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above.

If she could also master Sword Intent Materialization...

Tantai Ming hoped he wouldn't have to face off against his fellow disciples in internecine strife. He took a deep breath, removed the jade lot, and found it was an unfamiliar blade cultivator from another sect. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He then went over to check on Chu Sang, "Little Junior Sister, who did you draw?"

Chu Sang opened her jade lot and looked. Kumārajīva, what a strange name.

It seemed to be the... Buddhist disciple of the Buddha's Word Sect?
