The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 88 Meeting an old friend again

Liu Qi?

Upon hearing this name, Liu Xingxing looked down at the competition arena and saw an unfamiliar person step onto the field first, followed by the boy she hadn't seen for over three years.

It had been three years since they last met, but Liu Qi hadn't changed much. He'd just grown a bit taller and his face had matured. He was no longer the skinny boy he used to be, and he dressed much more elegantly. His demeanor had become much more composed, even though he was only sixteen years old.

It seems that Gongsun Qian treats him quite well, but speaking of Gongsun Qian, Liu Xingxing hasn't seen him in a long time.

This shouldn't be happening. His precious disciples have all come out to compete, yet he can calmly hide in the mountain and not come out to watch his disciples' competition.

The novel describes him as watching his disciples' matches the entire time without missing a single one, but he wasn't seen among those present today.

Xing Lou was nowhere to be seen either. Wasn't he the one who loved to join in on these kinds of fun? It was really strange that he wasn't there either.

Liu Xingxing's thoughts were scattered, and she didn't notice that Liu Qi on the field was staring intently in her direction.

So... he wasn't even worth her attention?

Having not seen each other for three years, he had never felt that she was so far away from him. He then turned his gaze to the person opposite him who was rubbing his fists together in anticipation.

It's really an eyesore.

Since you can't focus your attention on me, I can only try my best to get your attention.

"Please get ready, the match begins!"

Yang Kaisheng launched a preemptive fireball, but Liu Qi stood motionless, waiting for the fireball to hit his face before suddenly dodging to the side. In a flash, he appeared in front of Yang Kaisheng, channeling his spiritual energy to strike him several meters away with a palm strike, then withdrew his hand with a slightly disdainful expression.

Yang Kaisheng was so shocked by the light palm strike that his internal organs churned and he immediately fainted.

The outcome was decided with a single palm strike. Before anyone present could even react to what had happened, the verdict was announced.

"Liu Qi wins the ninth match of the third round!"

"What happened? How did they win?"

"I don't know, I didn't even have time to check before he lay down."

"Where did this Liu Qi come from? I've never heard of him before."

"Yeah, where did this guy come from?"

"You don't know? I happened to watch two of Liu Qi's matches, and he won both by a narrow margin. I thought he was just a lucky guy, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless in this match."

"Isn't this the third round? How come we didn't notice this person in the first two rounds?"

Today, it was already outrageous enough that someone with a useless spiritual root defeated someone with a single spiritual root, but now there's someone who can kill someone of a higher level in a single match. This competition is getting more and more fantastical.

Wei Qiushuang and Chai Yuan, who were resting and waiting for their turn, exchanged surprised glances upon hearing the discussion.

They knew very little about this junior brother, and had hardly ever interacted with him. Their master was still in seclusion, and it was usually the eldest brother who took care of him.

Wei Qiushuang and Chai Yuan often had to go out on fieldwork, so although they lived under the same roof as their junior brother, they rarely met. Even when they did meet, they would just nod to each other and say hello before parting ways, just like strangers.

Actually, there's another point: Wei Qiushuang herself doesn't really like this junior brother. Although she has never shown it, she has been intentionally or unintentionally distancing herself from him.

Since Chai Yuan had been with Wei Qiushuang since childhood, how could he not see through her thoughts? Naturally, he distanced himself from Liu Qi just like her.

But the eldest brother was different. He was the first disciple that Master took in, and Gongsun Qian was not a very responsible Master. The eldest brother took care of them like a half-master, so naturally he treated Liu Qi the same way.

The eldest brother is now in charge of the affairs of the peak, and with his strength, he is no longer suitable to participate in this competition. So the three younger ones naturally took on this task. However, if it weren't for this, they would have really forgotten about the existence of this junior brother.

Liu Xingxing, as he wished, turned her gaze back to him, somewhat surprised.

She remembered that Liu Qi was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while his opponent was clearly at the Golden Core stage. How could he have been defeated by Liu Qi with just one palm strike?

Although he has a mutated spiritual root, isn't this cheat code a bit too overpowered?

This competition was indeed the beginning of his fame, but it was also because of his mutated spiritual root and his heaven-defying talent of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixteen, not because he became famous on the competition field.

Moreover, he didn't even make it into the third round of the competition on the fourth day in the novel, which is why Liu Xingxing was surprised to hear the name of this kid, Liu Qi.

Now, he has not only passed three rounds of competition, but also defeated his Golden Core stage opponent so easily, and with the power of Foundation Establishment!

what is this? !

Is the main character going to be changed?

Challenging opponents far stronger than himself is something only the main character can do. Although he is indeed one of the supporting characters, he is not the main protagonist at all! ∑(°Д°)！ ！ ！

And the guy on the field below was actually looking at her with an innocent smile!

What are you laughing at!

Liu Xingxing almost couldn't hold back her emotions.

"Liu Qi? Who is this kid from? I've never heard of him before."

"I see this kid is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while that kid from the Yanmen Sect is a genuine Golden Core cultivator. How could he be defeated with just one palm strike?"

"I think this kid must have used some kind of secret technique. You all saw it, and there was no trace of him using evil or forbidden magic."

"Ancestor, what do you think?"

Lu Yuanbai first consulted Liu Jun.

Liu Xingxing didn't show much emotion, and said calmly, "Whether it was used or not, and what it was used for, we'll know once we bring it here."

She was also worried that he might have gone astray. If she found out in time, he could be corrected early. She couldn't let him become like Qin Wen from her peak. After all, he was one of the main characters, and she couldn't let anything happen to him.

Lü Yuanbai immediately understood Liu Jun's meaning and asked, "Should we take him back to Wenxin Hall or bring him here?"

Liu Xingxing paused for a moment, then replied, "Take him back to Wenxin Hall, I'll go with you."

Speaking of which, after Liu Xingxing emerged from the valley hidden by the magic array that day, she was busy with various things and forgot to check on the portrait of her cheap master. Her memory has never been very good (ps: memory ability is different from memory).

The Hall of Inquiry is not far from the Hall of Masters, so she can conveniently visit the Hall of Masters to see what her master looks like.

"now?"

"What else can we do? Wait until he wipes everything clean before we go?"

"However... there's no need to make a big fuss. After all, they are people who are about to enter the final battle, and it would be bad for their image."

Lu Yuanbai bowed and withdrew, then whispered a few instructions to his men, who also withdrew. Lu Yuanbai then approached Liu Jun and asked:

"I have already sent someone to find him and bring him back to Wenxin Hall. Are you going there now, Ancestor?"

"Well, you can stay here and keep watch; you don't need to go over there."

After saying this, he was about to get up. Everyone present was not deaf, and they all immediately got up to see him off.

"Farewell to my ancestor!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Immortal Qingjun!"

Fortunately, a magic array was set up above to block out the sound, otherwise there would have been another commotion outside.

Without saying a word, Liu Xingxing disappeared in a flash.

Those who remained breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer as reserved as before.

"Sect Leader Lü, it seems the Xuanshan Sect is in for some excitement."

The one who spoke up was an elder of the Shangyu Sect who had not spoken before.

Lu Yuanbai smiled politely, knowing what he meant: "Elder Ma, we can't predict the whereabouts of this ancestor, but it's certainly going to be lively for some time."

“Since Immortal Qingjun went into seclusion a thousand years ago, a lot of things have happened on this continent. Now it’s good that the days of those villains bullying others are coming to an end.”

There are many implications to Qiu Wu's words.

Although his master was one of the eight, his strength was far inferior. Now, the position of his sect among the eight major sects is also precarious, and it could be replaced by a rising star at any time.

But what does this have to do with Liu Jun?

Of course there's a connection. Liu Jun has already left the mountain. As long as they can win her favor, it's just a matter of her saying a word, and their sect's status will be secured. Anything she casually gives away is something that people would fight tooth and nail for. How could there be no connection?

In the eyes of the world, Liu Jun is the biggest backer; otherwise, why would so many powerful people flock to the Xuanshan Sect?

"Hmph, they don't even know who Immortal Qingjun is. How could they possibly look down on those useless people?"

Someone chimed in with a retort, the meaning of which was quite clear.

"Tch, it's all about skill."

The group, who had been all smiles just moments before, were now arguing fiercely, with each one more sharp-tongued than the last. Caught in the middle, Lü Yuanbai and the members of the Xuanshan Sect were also quick to criticize, and they just watched as no one took sides.

Liu Jun is the patriarch of their Xuanshan Sect, so there's no need to compete for him.
