Chapter 100 The Revival of Spiritual Qi: My Mother is a Cultivator (Part 6)
"Lu Yunqi, look at your fellow disciples behind you. Can you really bring yourself to do it? Are you sure your Misty Sect can withstand the wrath of the Boundless Sect?"
"Cough, cough, haha."
Blood trickled from the corner of Gu Pingsheng's mouth, but his expression was unusually smug.
"Lu Yunqi, so what if you suspect me and want to kill me? Do you dare to lay a hand on me?"
After Gu Pingsheng finished speaking, he turned to look at the group of deacons outside.
"I surrender."
As Gu Pingsheng finished speaking, the barrier around the challenge platform slowly dissipated.
With a smug smile, Gu Pingsheng was about to walk off the stage.
So what if I lost? I was only trying to annoy Lu Yunqi anyway, and now I've achieved my goal, haven't I?
It's just a minor injury; once I get back, I can apply for a Level 2 Restoration Pill and recover completely.
Lu Yunqi stood behind him, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, the communication talisman specially made by Si Yan on Lu Yunqi's body sounded.
【Yunqi, do whatever you want, your mentor will always be there to support you.】
Si Yan couldn't stand these people who got the benefits but then complained. Wasn't Heaven preventing her from returning to the mortal realm?
So, transmitting a small message myself shouldn't be a problem, right?
The barrier around the challenge platform is about to completely dissipate, and Gu Pingsheng only needs to wait a few more seconds before he can leave the challenge platform.
Suddenly, Lu Yun started moving.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Those from the Wuji Sect who witnessed all of this outside the arena had drastic changes in expression and shouted at Gu Pingsheng.
"Always be careful what's behind you!"
"careful!"
"Turn around quickly!"
"Lu Yunqi, how dare you!"
Because the barrier hadn't completely disappeared, Gu Pingsheng, who was inside the barrier, couldn't hear what they were saying and looked at them blankly.
Behind him, Lu Yunqi raised his spirit sword and swung it swiftly and ruthlessly at Gu Pingsheng.
"No!"
"stop it now!"
The cultivators from the Wuji Sect outside stared wide-eyed, but could only watch helplessly as Gu Pingsheng collapsed.
On the challenge stage, Gu Pingsheng, who had been pierced by the sword energy, had already lost his breath.
With a bang, Lu Yunqi, who had swung the sword with all his might, suddenly lost his strength and knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his right hand on the sword.
He looked at the distant sky, his eyes slightly red, for he had finally avenged himself.
With Gu Pingsheng's death, the barrier around the challenge arena also disappeared completely.
Seeing Gu Pingsheng's silent state, Yun Xi, the senior disciple of Wuji Sect, had a cold look in his eyes. He raised his hand and spiritual energy surged, and it looked like he was about to make a move against Lu Yunqi.
"Yunxi, go back!"
"And you, go back too."
Elder Wang Yuan of the deacon group reprimanded him.
“Lu Yunqi made the move on the challenge stage, which did not violate the rules, even though Gu Pingsheng had already conceded defeat.”
Wang Yuan said this, but his eyes were far from calm.
He then said something meaningful.
"I just hope that the cultivator Lu from the Misty Sect can continue to have such good luck."
Wang Yuan said this because, although he was a member of the deacon group, he was also the third elder of the Wuji Sect.
He was also heartbroken and angry about Gu Pingsheng's death.
But Wang Yuan knew perfectly well that now was not the time to take action.
There's plenty of time ahead; Lu Yunqi will eventually return to the world of cultivation.
If they dare to offend the Wuji Sect like this, it seems the Piaomiao Sect has no reason to exist anymore.
Meanwhile, the crowd watching the challenge were also staring at Lu Yunqi with disbelief.
"Hey, isn't the Wuji Sect supposed to be the number one sect in the cultivation world? It doesn't seem like it to me."
"Exactly, how did the number one ranked sect lose to a sect whose name I've never even heard of before?"
"You know, why don't we try our luck at this sect? Maybe we can make a fortune."
The hushed discussions among the crowd did not affect Lu Yunqi and his group at all.
Because Yinchuan and the others had already helped Lu Yunqi back to the lounge.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Yinchuan quickly set up a barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Senior Brother, tell me the truth, did you use some kind of secret medicine? Did it harm your body in any way?"
Yin Chuan's expression was serious, because he had witnessed the final fate of those who used secret medicines to forcibly improve their cultivation level.
Although one may be incredibly powerful for a time, once the effects of the medicine wear off, one's meridians will be severed, and there will be no possibility of cultivation again.
"I'm fine. My master helped me stabilize the realm I had forcibly raised. I'm just a little exhausted from the depletion of my spiritual energy."
Seeing everyone's worry, Lu Yunqi revealed the truth about his breakthrough.
"What? It was Master who helped?"
Yinchuan was in an uproar upon hearing this.
"Master, you can't be so biased. I'm already way behind you, Senior Brother."
Yinchuan, which had been looking worried and somber, suddenly looked pitiful.
Si Ran was amazed by Yinchuan's face-changing skills.
"Alright, Yinchuan, if you're really envious, go back and cultivate diligently. When you make progress, go to your master and ask for a reward."
Mu Yunhuai looked at Yinchuan's funny appearance and teased him.
"Alright, Yinchuan, stop fooling around. Now that we've successfully won over Junior Sister Si Ran, the rest of the recruitment tasks are yours and Yun Huai's. Remember to bring the Heart-Testing Stone."
At this point, Lu Yunqi gave some important instructions.
"My master said that we don't need to ask for outstanding spiritual roots, but our Dao heart must pass the test."
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Senior Brother, I guarantee I will complete the mission perfectly."
Yinchuan put away his playful demeanor and made a solemn promise.
Mu Yunhuai, who was standing to the side, nodded to Lu Yunqi and led Yinchuan out.
After watching them leave, Lu Yunqi looked at Si Ran.
"Junior sister, your master has something to give you."
"What? Really? But why didn't Mom leave me a few words?"
Si Ran asked, puzzled.
"My master said she would tell you everything in person once you reach the world of cultivation."
"Ok."
Si Ran was a little disappointed; she had thought she would hear her mother's voice.
Lu Yunqi handed Si Ran a Qiankun bag.
"Junior Sister, this Qiankun Bag can be used without spiritual power. It is full of pills that Master prepared for you. There are all kinds of pills, and each pill has a name and effect on it. Master said that this is the first gift she gave you, and you can decide how to use it."
Si Ran took the Qiankun bag, and all that came to mind was how her mother used to bring her gifts every time she went to a new place.
[Ranran, these are handicrafts your mother sent you. Aren't they beautiful?]
[Ranran, Mom saw this embroidered dress and thought it was so pretty, so I bought it for you. Try it on, my daughter will look so beautiful in it!]
【Ranran, these are Yunnan Province's specialty flower cakes. I'm sending you some; I'm sure you'll like them.】
[Ranran, here...]
【Ranran, this is…】
Si Ran, lost in her memories, was already in tears.
Reaching out of her Qiankun bag, she saw a note float out that read: "My dear Ranran, these are all gifts Mom has prepared for you. You can arrange them as you wish. The effects, names, and quantities are all written on them. Remember, don't cry. Mom will be waiting for you in the cultivation world."
