Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Medicine King Valley and suddenly thought, Xiezhi would defend people who lie, so wouldn't it be fine if she just kept silent? Was she an idiot!?

Oh... forget it, I've already said it, at worst I won't go out anymore.

Throwing a roast goose to Ah Zi to eat, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "No, I will suffocate if I don't go out. I should be more careful next time, okay?"

"Xuan Ming, eat more. The sooner you become a god, the sooner I can feel at ease." Lin Xiaoxiao refined several pots of pills for Xuan Ming to eat. The original book mentioned that the world of immortal cultivation is divided into two realms, the upper and lower realms. The highest combat power in the lower realm is only half a step into the realm of refining emptiness. Cultivators who reach the realm of refining emptiness must go to the upper realm. Therefore, if Xuan Ming becomes a god, few people in the lower realm will be able to touch Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao refined two more pots of soup for herself and A Zi. After all, there was only one Xuan Ming, and if many people came, he might not be able to control himself.

Ah Zi gently rubbed Lin Xiaoxiao with her small calyx while chewing roast goose. Xuan Ming chewed the pill, the crunching sound sounded strangely relaxing.

While absorbing the medicinal power, Lin Xiaoxiao looked inward at her dantian, and then she discovered something strange - why was her fire spiritual root about three times longer than her other two spiritual roots?

Could it be that I am actually very powerful? Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she practiced even harder.

Finally, five months later, Lin Xiaoxiao advanced from the third stage of foundation building to... the fourth stage of foundation building.

Sure enough, my talent is still the same waste...

As the master of Yaowang Valley, Lin Xiaoxiao has already felt that there is something wrong with the surrounding space, and it is estimated that it is about to connect with the secret realm of the competition.

I remember that the competition started with a three-person team competition, which meant who went to the secret realm first to see who could kill more monsters. The more they killed, the higher the score. This game had nothing to do with Song Hanyun, but this game contained the inheritance sites of the seven sects, which would be opened at the end.

There will be a round of classic sect elimination duels from novels. The three sects with the highest total scores in the two games combined can each pick three people to enter the realm of training to seek opportunities.

Some medicinal herbs in the secret realm don’t seem to be available in the Medicine King Valley, such as the five-colored spiritual fruit. I’ll go pick some when the time comes.

Should I put on the black robe I bought? Forget it. In the original book, Song Hanyun did not participate in the competition and was in seclusion, which means that no one in the secret realm knew him, and he was not used to wearing it, so he always felt uncomfortable.

......

On the other side, in the Yunjian Sect, Song Hanyun walked out of the room. His whole aura had changed greatly. He finally became a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Looking at the thunderstorm in the sky, Song Hanyun just smiled slightly. Humph, it's just thunder from the sky...

It will still hurt if you get hit by something.

Three days later, the thunder tribulation ended. Song Hanyun felt sore and numb all over. He stood against the wall and took a deep breath.

Now his goal is to kill all the people in Lingxia Sect.

The seven-sect competition will also begin tomorrow.

......

The next day, the sky was bright. According to the rotation order, the Yunjian Sect should host the competition among the seven sects this time, so the Yunjian Sect was busy early in the morning.

"Lingxia Sect and Fengyu Tower have always been at odds. Put them together!"

"Hongyan Pavilion is full of female disciples. Let's put them next to our disciples and urge some of those little brats along!"

"Put Futu City and Linghuan City together. They fight every day over who is the best city in the world. Let them fight!"

"Put the seats for the Savior Hall as close to the ring as possible, so that they can save lives and treat injuries more easily."

This is called making the best use of everything.

After arranging everything, Qin Feng sat in the main seat, waiting for the leaders of other sects to arrive, while looking at Song Hanyun: "Hanyun, you have been so diligent recently, what is the reason?"

Qin Feng was expecting Song Hanyun to say something about bringing honor to the sect, but Song Hanyun said this out of the blue.

"I want to kill all the people in Lingxia Sect."

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and Lu Renjia quickly leaned over to his ear and told him the general idea.

Then Qin Feng showed a strange expression and said, "Just rushing down the mountain? A few months ago, Lingxia Sect sent several groups of people down the mountain, saying that they were chasing and killing a woman."

When Song Hanyun heard this, the spiritual energy around him fluctuated slightly. His facial expression remained unchanged, but it made people feel that the air around him was a little cold.

"Oh, you're hunting down a woman, but you didn't say who you're hunting down, right?" Lu Renjia said as he covered Qin Feng's mouth, which was about to open, and whispered, "Master, please don't say anything."

The aura around Song Hanyun eased a little. Lu Renjia breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to prepare fruits and vegetables.

On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the mountain on the border of Yaowang Valley, looking at the closer and closer secret realm of the competition, chewing Yingshui grass in her mouth and holding two walnuts in her hands.

After eating the Yingshui Grass, Lin Xiaoxiao smashed the two walnuts in her hand and continued eating. After all, she couldn't do anything now.

Speaking of which, Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the spirit pond and pulled out a lotus root. Previously, Lin Xiaoxiao had dug some lotus flowers from the river and planted them in the pond. They were growing really fast.

Xuanming crawled to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and lay down by the lake to watch the fish. Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Xuanming, feeling that something was wrong, Lin Xiaoxiao held Xuanming in her arms and observed him carefully.

"You've become a god?" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled happily, feeling relieved. "But why is there no thunder tribulation?"

Xuan Ming shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it. Anyway, there was always a setting that would make this matter smooth.

......

At the Yunjian Sect, the seven major sects finally gathered together. As soon as Lingxia Sect's Sect Master Tang Zhen walked into the gate of the Yunjian Sect, he felt a malicious gaze staring at him. He looked around, and the gaze disappeared in an instant.

Song Hanyun, who was standing in the spectator seats, silently looked away.

Li Shen, the Lord of Futu City, and Fu Xian, the Lord of Linghuan City, glared at each other as soon as they sat down. Luo Fan, the Lord of Fengyu Tower, glanced at Tang Zhen and walked straight to his seat. Ling Yue, the Lord of Hongyan Pavilion, leaned on the chair and watched Li Shen and Fu Xian quarreling. Luo Wu, the Lord of Jiuku Hall, smiled helplessly. Looking at the position, he knew he would be busy again.

After the seven major sect leaders have finished speaking, we will prepare to enter the secret realm.

The entrance to the secret realm is a water-moon mirror, and around it are eight image-transmitting stone slabs, which will light up when someone enters the secret realm. The images on seven of them correspond to the areas where the captains of the three-person teams sent by the seven major sects are located, while the other one randomly plays images of where there are people.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Lin Xiaoxiao. She thought that the stone slab would only be activated when someone entered the secret realm, but in fact, it would be activated when someone was in the secret realm.

So now, the eighth stone tablet lit up under the confused gaze of the audience.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao was soaking in the spirit pool and had no idea that she was being broadcast live. However, the Medicine King Valley was filled with spiritual mist, so no one could see clearly.

Tang Lan, the eldest disciple of Lingxia Sect, who was sitting at the table, took out the jade token that was gleaming in his arms, smiled, and suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the arena. Song Hanyun on the other side glanced at Tang Lan, but did not move, because he could not see the person clearly, so he was not sure.

"I have something to say, please listen carefully..." Tang Lan opened her mouth. Tang Zhen did not stop her, but sat on the high platform and drank tea leisurely.

"So... you mean you should go in and capture her first?" Luo Fan said coldly, "I heard that your Lingxia Sect drove someone down the mountain before, her name was Lin Xiaoxiao? Is the woman in this secret realm..."

"No." Tang Lan's face wasn't red, and her heart wasn't beating fast, but her butt was a little sore.

When I looked back, I saw something with black fur and horns, and its eyes were like night pearls.

"This is Xiezhi, who can tell lies. I met it by chance when I passed by Jinlan City a few months ago. I formed a bond with it and signed a pact of equality." Luo Fan took a sip of tea and glanced at Tang Zhen. "Does Sect Master Tang have anything else to say?"

"That woman in the secret realm is indeed Lin Xiaoxiao, but one thing I said is wrong. It's not about capturing," Tang Zhen said with a faint smile, "it's about killing."

Luo Fan raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Song Hanyun below spoke first: "You..."

"Who do you want to kill?" Qin Feng took the lead and pressed towards Tang Zhen with the aura of a high-level spiritual transformation stage.

Tang Zhen, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, looked discolored and said in a hoarse voice, "Sect Master Qin, what are you doing?"

"I'll protect this man." Qin Feng spoke, his pressure undiminished.

On the stone slab, the spiritual mist lingering in the picture gradually dissipated, and Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just changed her clothes with water dripping from her hair, appeared clearly in everyone's eyes.

Then the spectator seats facing the stone slab were filled with people.

A bunch of people crowded over there to watch Lin Xiaoxiao get out of the bath. Tang Zhen's expression changed again and again: "Sect Master Qin, can you give me a reason?"

"Master Tang, please tell us the reason for killing her first." Qin Feng leaned back in his chair and glanced at Tang Zhen.

"No comment." Tang Zhen looked unhappy and said in a cold voice.

"The same goes for me," Qin Feng smiled, "No comment."

"You Lingxia Sect doesn't want that little girl anymore, right?" Ling Yue looked at Lin Xiaoxiao. "She's so pretty, but no one wants her. But Hongyan Pavilion wants her."

Li Shen and Fu Xian had blank expressions on their faces, competing secretly. Luo Wu stared at Lin Xiaoxiao carefully for a while and suddenly said, "The place where this girl is staying doesn't look like the secret place for this competition."

"That's..." Luo Wu saw Xuan Ming crawling on top of Lin Xiaoxiao and lying down, "Medicine King Valley, it's Medicine King Valley! She is the Valley Master of this generation of Medicine King Valley!"

After these words were spoken, Li Shen and Fu Xian stopped competing, Luo Fan stopped watching the show between Tang Zhen and Qin Feng, and the leaders of the seven major sects all looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Medicine King Valley? Tang Zhen's face turned pale. What kind of adventure did Lin Xiaoxiao have after coming down the mountain?

Qin Feng withdrew his pressure. The fact that Yaowang Valley came out showed that Lin Xiaoxiao at least had good intentions. So Tang Zhen would have to think twice before taking action. It was not a good idea to turn against Lingxia Sect now. As the only sect among the seven major sects that specialized in formations and inherited the ancient formations, Lingxia Sect was still an important role and could not fall out.

"It seems that your judgment, Sect Master Tang, is inappropriate and needs to be corrected." Qin Feng said lightly, and Tang Zhen also took this opportunity.

"Master Qin is right. I will personally go and apologize to Lin Xiaoxiao in the future..." Tang Zhen responded with a smile, and secretly sent a message to Tang Lan: "Find an opportunity in the secret realm."

Tang Lan responded silently in his heart and looked at Song Hanyun with narrowed eyes. Including this guy, there are two Nascent Souls in the Yunjian Sect, and he is the only one in the Lingxia Sect, so he has to be careful.

......

Half a mile outside the Yunjian Sect, a woman in black whispered, "Mr. Li, how is it?"

There was no one around her. A residual soul suddenly appeared from her ring and told her what had just happened in the Yunjian Sect.

"Sister Xiaoxiao is back!? That's great! But Tang Zhen..." The woman was obviously happy, she smiled and murmured, "Thank you for going to the opening ceremony on my behalf, Mr. Li, otherwise I would have no chance to get the Heavenly Demon Blade."

"Ye Lan, I was right about you. You can really subdue the Heavenly Evil Blade," Old Li smiled. "When I was killed in the upper realm, the weapon fell into the lower realm along with my soul. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead by now."

Ye Lan smiled and dusted off her clothes: "Let's go to participate in the competition."
