The villain is right beside me

Lan Yue was wearing a turquoise dress, and she looked bright and elegant, like a daffodil.

Anyone would be unable to help but feel pity for such a girl who is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at her, except Mu Qing, who had a cold face, because he knew very well that this girl was not someone who could be figured out at once. She was very scheming and had a lot of bad ideas in her crooked mind.

"Brother Pastor." Lan Yue looked innocent, as if she had never seen Mu Qing before: "Please show mercy, Senior Brother."

Mu Qing was secretly sarcastic in his heart, but he still said, "No problem." Then, an invisible giant hand descended from the sky, with no intention of showing any mercy.

Lan Yue once again displayed the black blade light. The pitch-black illusory arm seemed a little weird. This time, the blade cut out a huge arc. However, this time, the blade light was bloody red, stirring up a horrible blood color, and it was unstoppable.

The void grappling hand grabbed the entire blade, and with a rumbling sound, a loud void-shaking sound rang out, shaking the earth and the sky. It seemed that the giant void hand could not bear it and was on the verge of collapse.

"Look!"

The blood light shook, and after a deafening roar, the giant palm shattered and dissipated into nothingness.

This was the first time that a disciple was able to break Mu Qing's Void Capture Technique.

What a powerful sword light.

As soon as they fought, Mu Qing realized how terrible Lan Yue's trick was. Her magic was indeed similar to the devil's. Where did she learn it from?

Lan Yue held the half-illusory blade in her hand and struck the air, bringing up a surge of blade light. It was sharp and ruthless, and seemed to contain a hatred that wanted to split Mu Qing in half.

"Such a lovely girl, but she is so cruel and ruthless." Mu Qing smiled faintly, and in the blink of an eye, a trace of green spiritual power gathered in the palm of his hand...

Lan Yue didn't want to listen to his nonsense. The long and narrow blood knife in her hand hummed incessantly, and powerful waves spread out from the blade.

Mu Qing raised his head and stretched out his right hand. Immediately, the nothingness in front of him seemed to be distorted, and a large green sword suddenly appeared. Moreover, this sword was extremely solid, and even the sword pattern on it was clearly visible. There was no sign of illusion at all.

"Qingxiao Sword Controlling Technique!"

"It's so solid, I'm afraid he has already cultivated a seal. It's amazing!"

The outer disciples who were watching the fight exclaimed in amazement, especially the sword cultivators, where even more people exclaimed in amazement.

In the eyes of all these people, it was as if there was a sword and a knife between heaven and earth, and they suddenly collided with each other, bursting out with a tremendous aura, piercing through the clouds, and shaking heaven and earth. The fierce aura collision between the sword cultivator and the knife cultivator attracted the attention of everyone present.

All the masters were also attracted by this battle, especially the sword-cultivating Master Gu, whose eyes showed surprise.

You know, even among the many outer disciples of sword cultivators, very few can practice this sword technique to perfection. Those who can do it are the most brilliant and talented people in the sword cultivation lineage.

In other words, Mu Qing is not only a practitioner of both magic and body, he is also a sword practitioner!

God!

This kind of outer disciple made them all feel horrified. In their eyes, this was no longer a proud child of the Qilin Sect, but a monster. Piaomiao Sect already had one Si Minghai, and now... there were actually two.

Mu Qing's left hand appeared illusory, and he pressed down the giant sword fiercely, like a comet colliding with the blood sword, and a shocking sound broke out. This blow was no longer something that an outer sect disciple could achieve, and was comparable to a blow from a cultivator in the Platform Building Realm.

boom!

Blood flowed from the corner of Lan Yue's mouth. The blade in her hand finally shattered with a violent collision, and the whole person flew backwards.

Mu Qing quickly turned the sword and dispersed the sword intent, but the residual power spread in all directions, cutting the ground into ten-foot-long cracks, which was terrifying to look at.

Fortunately, this was just a competition between sects. If it was a life-and-death fight, Mu Qing would definitely not put away his sword.

After the aftermath finally dissipated, Patriarch Li took a deep breath and announced: "Mu Qing wins this battle!"

At this moment, the cheers of many disciples rang out. Regardless of anything else, they had witnessed a wonderful battle.

Si Minghai, undefeated, ranked first, while Mu Qing ranked second simply because he deliberately gave up two games.

Mo Wanji ranked third, Lan Yue ranked fourth, Qu Shuhuan ranked fifth. Although Yixuan and Luo Tong both lost six games, Luo Tong lost to Yixuan. Yixuan ranked sixth and Luo Tong ranked seventh.

Jian Hao was last, Zhang Yan was eighth, and Xiao Chenyu was ninth. The top ten places were decided.

On the second day, Mu Qing came to the headmaster's hall, along with Si Minghai and Mo Wanji. It was obvious why the headmaster had called them here.

Lian Wanqing glanced at them with a look of relief, and finally, his gaze stopped on Mu Qing.

"You are all the most elite disciples of my Piaomiao Sect. You all performed well in this competition. As I said before, I will give you rewards." Lian Wanqing called Si Minghai forward and handed him a storage bag.

"There is a mark I left on it. Open it when you get back. There is one more thing. When you get back, go to your master first. He has something else to ask you."

Si Minghai did not look arrogant, but rather calm and composed: "Yes, thank you, Master."

Then Lian Wanqing called Mo Wanji up, gave him a storage bag as well, and let him leave.

Mu Qing didn't understand why he was left alone in the end. Sure enough, after everyone had gone far away, Lian Wanqing finally spoke: "Do you know that in this competition, the one who surprised me the most was not Luo Tong from the subordinate sect, nor Lan Yue and others, but you. Pastor nephew, you have only been a disciple for two years, but you have achieved such achievements. You have far surpassed Si Minghai when he first joined."

Lian Wanqing said with emotion: "You know, we saw your physique in the hall before, and it really scared us. Now, you jump out again to scare us again. I guess I was wrong."

Mu Qing knew that he could achieve this result because he had eaten the Nine-aperture Linglong Fruit, which made up for his talent in cultivation, and Lao Wang also gave him guidance in cultivation. Otherwise, if he had only explored on his own, he would probably have been one of the outer disciples standing outside the arena yesterday, watching the proud Qilin students on the stage. He might even be... not as good as them...

"Master teacher, this person has made mistakes and stumbles. Maybe you will be able to see it clearly next time." Mu Qing said in a flattering manner.

Really smooth talker.

Lian Wanqing found it funny. He was so shameless. No wonder he could be...

"Dust cannot hide jade, and jade can burn dust. This is your reward. There is one more thing I want to tell you. Go to Longfeng Mountain, where someone is waiting for you."

Longfeng Mountain... Could it be the master I have never met?

Mu Qing took the storage bag and did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he went to Longfeng Mountain.

This was not the first time he came here. The area near Longfeng Mountain was turned into a forbidden area for outer disciples, but he could only enter and exit because he had the identity of a registered disciple.

When Mu Qing arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a familiar figure.

"Uncle Su?"

Su Mei frowned and looked up at him, then said calmly, "Come with me."

Didn’t the ancestor call him?

Mu Qing thought so too, how could the ancestor wait for him in person, so he went into the mountain with Su Mei, and soon, he came to a place that was very familiar to him.

icehouse!

The place where he first started practicing.

Su Mei said, "The ancestor said that you can drink the spiritual wine in it at will, and you can use the things in it at will. I will call you out again before the Golden Pool Conference in twelve days."

Spirit wine!

Is this the opportunity promised to me?

Mu Qing had been coveting the magical wine inside for a long time, and he didn't expect to have the opportunity to taste it. So he would not be polite.

"Thank you, Master."

Mu Qing went inside and the outside door closed.

Even though he was no longer a rookie, he could still feel extremely cold when he entered here.

Mu Qing saw the wine jars placed in front of him. He had not seen these last time. Could they be brewed spirit wine?

Mu Qing was not a person who liked drinking. He sat on the cool table and opened the storage bag. In addition to the rewarded magic weapon, there were also two kinds of elixirs. One was a large amount of Chun Yuan Dan, which was purer and more precious than Yang Yuan Dan. It could be said that ten Yang Yuan Dan were comparable to one Chun Yuan Dan.

There is another kind of elixir, which is actually the Building Pill!

If Mu Qing wanted to build a platform now, he could swallow the building pill immediately. However, building a platform is one of the most important stages in practicing cultivation, and Mu Qing doesn't want it to end so hastily.

"Huh? How come there is this?" Mu Qing rummaged through the storage bag and found a white jade pendant. It felt as warm as the sun in his hand, and it seemed that all the coldness around him had been dispelled.

"Xuan Yang Jade, this is a treasure of the most yang, not to mention its other functions of keeping out the cold, it can also be used as medicine." Lao Wang was shocked and said, "The master would give you this thing, no way, don't they know what it means?"

"What does it mean?" Mu Qing was puzzled. How could this piece of jade be so magical?

"It is said that the place where Xuanyang Jade was born is often accompanied by a magical medicine, the Nine Yang Nirvana Grass, which is known as one of the nine magical medicines." Lao Wang said: "Do you know that the Nine Aperture Linglong Fruit you have taken actually grows on the Nine Aperture Glazed Branch, one of the nine magical medicines. Similarly, the Nine Aperture Glazed Branch should be accompanied by a piece of Glazed Jade."

Mu Qing took a breath, this piece of jade turned out to be so profound!

That means, Piaomiao Sect...or that old ancestor, must have a magical medicine in his hands!

That is the legendary magic medicine that can revive the dead and give life to bones!

Mu Qing thought for a moment, then carried the jade pendant close to his body. Immediately, the coldness around him was dispelled. He sat on the platform and picked up a jar of wine.

Lao Wang was surprised: "Aren't you shocked? Aren't you moved?"

Mu Qing said: "Of course I am tempted, who wouldn't be tempted, but do you expect me to go to a cultivator in the Lunhai Realm to ask for the magic medicine?"

"I'm sure that this person has never told anyone else that he has the magic medicine. Even his fellow disciples would have had evil thoughts when seeing the magic object. It's just that the Xuanyang Jade is a companion to the magic medicine, and few people know about this." Lao Wang's guess was almost right, but the other party really couldn't have imagined that there was such a knowledgeable old monster by Mu Qing's side.

Mu Qing said: "Let's talk about this later. Let's practice first. These spirit wines should be able to help me open up the Ren Meridian."
