After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 14 First Show of Strength
Except for the Qian family, all the outstanding young men of the five major families came to the seats where the Pei family was sitting. For a time, the Pei family was the most prominent.
"Miss Pei, no, I should call you Senior Sister Pei. I'm Ma Tao, and I'm also a disciple of the Yunshan Sect."
Ma Tao was originally the most outstanding young man of Chi Ning City, but now Pei Yun has overshadowed him. He is naturally envious and jealous, but he has seen the world and will not get emotional and lose his composure over such a small matter.
Since the other person toasted her with a smile, Pei Yun couldn't refuse with a cold face, so she stood up and toasted him with a glass of wine in return.
Those people had been watching from afar, only shocked by Pei Yun's strength. Now, looking closely at her, they found that although Miss Pei was still young, her face was as white as jade, her eyes were bright and clear like a pool of autumn water, which made many young men present secretly moved.
Although this genius is not from their family, it would be great if he could marry into their family through marriage. Some families began to plan for marriage with the Pei family, and for a time, their attitude towards the Pei family became more earnest.
……
After the banquet, it was time to decide on the candidates. Everyone moved from the back garden to the spacious square in the backyard. The competition stage on the square was twice as big as the one in the back garden.
This time, according to convention, the five major families and the City Lord's Mansion each got one quota, and of course they would send out Jindan-stage masters. The other families had no objection to this, because only the five major families and the City Lord's Mansion had Jindan-stage masters, and they could get more meat if they won, so they could also drink soup.
Therefore, the next competition is the chance to fight for the remaining four places. Pei Yun knows that she is only in the initial stage of foundation building and it is impossible for her to win a place, but this is an opportunity for her to hone herself.
Everyone sat around the competition stage, with fruits and snacks on everyone's table. This time, the Pei family's seats were moved a little forward, in the middle.
Except for Pei Yun, the other members of the Pei family were completely relaxed. After all, they had already made a name for themselves and their goal had been achieved. The next step was to just enjoy some melons and broaden their horizons.
There are many small families who have the same idea as the Pei family. The highest level of cultivation in these families is generally in the early stage of foundation building. If they go on stage to compete, they will be bullied by those big families. By then, they will lose all their face and dignity.
Sure enough, the first person to come on stage was a young man from a large family who was in the middle stage of foundation building. Although he was not from the five major families, he was second only to the five major families. Moreover, this person looked to be in his early thirties and was considered a promising young man in Chi Ning City.
Pei Yun's heart was aroused with fighting spirit, and he stood up and prepared to move forward...
"Yun'er, where are you going?" Pei Tan was stunned when he saw her stand up, thinking that she was going to leave.
Pei Shi and the other two were also stunned for a moment. They also thought that Pei Yun wanted to leave, but this was a rare scene for the major families to compete, so didn't he want to see the world?
Pei Yun didn't answer them. She straightened her dress and walked towards the competition stage...
The originally stunned crowd and the Pei family finally understood her intention, and their expressions became shocked again.
She actually wanted to go on stage to compete. She was a young girl who had just entered the early stage of foundation building. She actually wanted to compete with a cultivator who had been building foundation for many years and was one level higher than her. How could she be so bold!
"This is too much of an overestimation!"
"When you become popular among the younger generation, you think you are great. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is..."
All of a sudden, the major families started discussing in low voices again, looking at Pei Yun with irony and regret, and only a very small number of people watched the show with interest...
Pei Tan didn't react at first. By the time he knew her purpose, she had already walked far away, and he couldn't drag her back to stop her from going on stage and embarrassing herself, so he could only watch her go on stage in annoyance, hoping that she wouldn't lose too badly.
"Grandfather, since fifth sister dares to go up for the competition, she must have something to rely on." Pei Shi saw that Pei Tan looked unhappy and spoke to comfort him.
"Yes! Grandfather, Sister Yun must be certain before she goes up." Pei Ye was very confident about this, because although he had not had much contact with Pei Yun, he knew that Pei Yun was a thoughtful person. Although he was young, he was experienced and steady in doing things, and would not do anything without confidence.
"Pei family, Pei Yun, please give me your guidance." Pei Yun bowed and signed up.
"Little girl from the Pei family, although you are extremely talented, potential does not mean you have strength..." Tan Qu said with a chuckle. To be honest, he still admired Pei Yun very much. As long as such a talent did not die, his cultivation would sooner or later surpass his. "...I am one level higher than you in cultivation and older than you, so it is not a happy thing to beat you!"
"Senior Tan, I just want to verify my own strength. Senior, just go all out. This is a competition, and what we are competing for is strength. Age and talent are nothing compared to strength. Since I have volunteered to step onto the competition stage, even if I am seriously injured and have to leave the stage the next moment, that is my own choice."
Everyone was conquered by Pei Yun's magnanimity, and their mocking looks faded a little.
Tan Qu nodded, introduced his name, and the battle began.
Pei Yun did not use the Bamboo Wind Sword with the artistic conception of wind as everyone expected, but instead used the strongest move of water turning into light - Water Dragon in the Sky. This move is actually nine dragons in the sky and then merge into one giant dragon to attack the enemy.
But at present, she can only cast out three water dragons. Three water dragons were seen hovering in the sky, and everyone could even hear the dragon's roar. At this moment, everyone understood that Pei Yun's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person who had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. This little girl still had some strength.
Tan Qu thought so too. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression became serious. As the person being attacked, he deeply felt the power of this spell. Without saying a word, he immediately threw a punch.
Tan Qu was wearing a golden glove magic weapon and practicing gold magic. With one punch, a golden hill and three swooping water dragons collided with each other and exploded. The remaining power collided with the protective barrier and then melted away.
Neither of them gave the other a chance to breathe. Pei Yun used the Light and Shadow Escape to evade the opponent's punches, while at the same time he used the Wind-Fixing Palm - Wind Rises, a palm technique that integrated the artistic conception of wind, so fast that Tan Qu could not react. He retreated dozens of steps before stopping the momentum.
At this time, green sword beams attacked quietly from both sides. Tan Qu dodged one sword beam, and the other one brushed past his shoulder and left a scar.
Pei Yun also quickly used the Water Shield, but was still forced back a few steps by his Vajra Fist.
Everyone was shocked again to find that Pei Yun was the one who had the upper hand in this fight. This really caused an uproar. Even City Lord Ning and the heads of those large families could no longer sit still. The Pei family was even more excited and they all stood up.
The two people on the stage have started their second fight. Pei Yun's defensive skills, Water Shield and Light and Shadow Footwork allow her to evade the opponent's attacks, but in terms of attack power, the opponent's gold spell, Vajra Fist, is indestructible and is on par with her first style of Wind-Fixing Palm.
After dozens of moves, the opponent used a move called "Mountain Falling on the Head", causing Pei Yun to suffer internal injuries for the first time.
It seems that she still lacks combat experience. She used to hone herself with monsters and thought she had the ability to surpass her level. But now, when she compares with monks with higher cultivation levels, her disadvantage is apparent.
However, Pei Yun was not afraid of the battle in front of her. She closed her eyes and felt the airflow and direction of the wind around her. The second move of the Wind-Fixing Palm, Wind Chaos, which she had not yet learned, suddenly broke through at this moment. She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and firm, and raised her hands with her palms facing outwards, performing the second move - Wind Chaos.
Tan Qu only felt that the wind direction around him changed, and even became chaotic, but there was order in the chaos. Pei Yun guided the surrounding wind to resist Tan Qu's attack, not only resisting it, but also rushing towards him.
Tan Qu was a little panicked and tried to resist, but the wind was unpredictable and impossible to catch. Every gust of wind that hit him was like being cut by a knife...
"...I give up." Tan Qu resisted for a long time, and just before his spiritual power was about to run out, he admitted defeat.
There was reluctance and relief in his eyes. He looked at Pei Yun meaningfully before stepping down from the platform.
Pei Yun bowed and saluted before getting down from the platform. Half of her spiritual power had been used up, and she could barely win against the person in the middle stage of foundation building. The next battle was against the person in the late stage of foundation building, and she would be defeated quickly in that one.
"Miss Pei is truly gifted. She has such strength just after entering the initial stage of foundation building. In a short time, she will definitely be the pillar of our Chi Ning City." City Lord Ning was the first to applaud and praise.
Other families also followed suit, either sincerely or falsely clapping. Some people, like Tan Qu, felt humiliated by being defeated by a junior whose cultivation was not as good as his, but were open-minded and did not care; others, like Qian Haiyu, stared at her with vicious eyes... For a moment, Pei Yun once again became the focus of everyone.
"Yun'er, well done." Pei Tan no longer had the annoyance and worry he had just felt. He sat down facing her with a smile on his face.
"Fifth sister, with your talent and cultivation, even the talented disciples in Qianwen City cannot compare to you." Qianwen City is one of the largest cities after the Imperial City.
After chatting for a while, they began to pay attention to other competitions on the platform.
The competition in the late stage of foundation building was even more exciting. These cultivators had been building foundation for many years and were experienced and skilled in various magic. Pei Yun had learned a lot from experience and even gradually figured out a little bit of the secret of water from a cultivator who used water magic. She calmed down and suppressed her desire to practice immediately and continued to watch the competition...
The competition was not over until noon the next day. As expected, the other four places were occupied by big families. The city lord also selected many elite children to go to the imperial city together, including Pei Yun and Pei Shi.
Pei Yun's selection was expected, but Pei Shi's selection was truly a pleasant surprise. On the way back, Pei Tan had a happy look on his face and whispered to the two of them.
"Shi'er, I won't tell you that Yun'er is from the Yunshan Sect. You should stay in the Pei family. There is still more than a year left and it will pass in the blink of an eye."
Pei Shi and Li Wan looked at each other, then said respectfully: "Grandfather, I have now joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance of Qianwen City, and I have a mission to complete, so I can't leave for too long. I will come back after completing this mission, and I won't be late."
"That's it. I have to go back to the sect too, brother. We'll reunite then."
"Okay." Pei Shi and his wife smiled at her and thanked her for helping them out.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Pei Tan stopped talking.
Half a month later, Pei Yun was ready to return to Yunshan Sect, and she had to report to the inner sect. Pei Ye wanted to go back with her, but Pei Ling wanted to stay at home for a few more days.
This was perfect, she didn't want to carry these two burdens with her. Not to mention Pei Ye, she was already kind by not retaliating against Pei Ling, who had bullied her since childhood.
It's not that she is kind, but people like Pei Ling will learn their lesson sooner or later and their lives will get worse and worse. It was like this in her previous life. She just needs to watch the show quietly by the side, why bother dirtying her hands.
"Brother, are you there?" Pei Yun knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Fifth sister, why are you here?" Pei Shi and his wife came forward to greet her.
"I will return to Yunshan Sect early tomorrow morning and say goodbye to you."
"We will be leaving in a few days, but we will be able to reunite at the city competition next year."
Pei Yun observed for a while and found that Pei Shi had indeed advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining: "Brother, you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations!"
"This is all thanks to your elixir and spiritual liquid." Pei Shi turned a disaster into a blessing this time. The elixir and spiritual liquid that Pei Yun gave him not only healed his injuries, but also helped him break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Pei Yun waved his hand and took out another bottle of pills and handed it to him.
"This is..." Pei Shi opened the pill bottle curiously and found that there was a foundation-building pill inside. "Fifth sister, why are you doing this?" He quickly returned the pill bottle to her.
"Brother, this foundation-building pill is what I exchanged for in the sect. I have already established my foundation, and this foundation-building pill is useless to me. I might as well give it to you. With the foundation-building pill, I believe you can establish your foundation quickly." She had obtained a lot of points when she entered the small secret realm before, so she exchanged for a foundation-building pill in case of emergency.
"No, I can't accept this. It's too expensive."
"You and I are brother and sister, no need to be polite."
Pei Shi still didn't take it. Pei Yun looked at the couple and sighed, saying sincerely: "Brother, you are a member of the Pei family, you should know how difficult it is for the concubine's daughter of the Pei family to live in this family..."
Pei Shi hesitated to speak. Although he didn't understand why Pei Yun suddenly said this, it was difficult for him to defend his parents, brother and sister based on her words.
"Before I went to Yunshan Sect, except for my mother and my maid Xiaodie, the rest of the Pei family either bullied or ignored me. But I remember when I was a child... when Pei Ling isolated me, it was my eldest brother who walked up to me and gave me a candy..."
Pei Shi laughed: "It's just a candy."
"Yes! It's just a candy, but it was one of the few warmth I felt in the Pei family..." Pei Yun muttered to himself as if recalling the past.
"Fifth sister, I apologize to you on behalf of Pei Ling."
"No need. If she wants to apologize, she should apologize to me personally. And the past hurt can't be wiped out with just an apology."
Pei Yun sneered unconsciously and didn't want to mention Pei Ling anymore. She just wanted to tell Pei Shi the reason why she gave him the pill. "So, big brother, please accept this foundation-building pill. I gave this pill to you because you really treated me as your sister, no matter when I was young and helpless or when I was powerful."
"Husband, please accept it. This is also a token of love from your fifth sister." Li Wan suddenly spoke up to comfort him.
"Then...thank you, Fifth Sister." Pei Shi thanked Pei Yun solemnly, "You are my sister no matter what the circumstances. If Fifth Sister needs my help in the future, I will definitely do my best."
"Okay, I believe you, big brother." The three looked at each other and laughed.
On the second day, Pei Yun returned to Yunshan Sect early in the morning...
