Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 423: 1 Road to Immortality 14

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been a year since Yun Chu entered the Xianyao Sect. In the Xianyao Sect, Yun Chu does not have to hide too much.

Within a year, her cultivation had broken through to the great perfection of Qi training (when she entered the sect, Yun Chu's cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi training).

Yun Chu was drawing talismans when he received the news from the Fire Iron Flying Ants.

Inside the stone chamber, Yun Chu crushed a low-grade spirit stone with her fingertips. The Fire Iron Flying Ant's vision spread across her sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Yunmeng, clad in a misty robe, stood atop the Scarlet Dragon Beast Chariot. Hanging from her waist was the "Mysterious Heart Protecting Mirror" (lower Earth rank) gifted by the Young Master of the Thousand Peng Sect. Her cultivation had indeed reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, but her spiritual energy was sparse, likely the product of elixirs.

Qin Yunmeng is worthy of being the heroine. She has attached herself to the young master of Qianpeng Sect and made the young master extremely obsessed with her.

She was given a lot of elixirs and spiritual tools, which allowed her to break through to the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining in a short period of time.

And now Qin Yunmeng is training with Ling Qianyu (mid-stage foundation building), the young master of Qianpeng.

Experience!

This is a good opportunity to seriously injure Qin Yunmeng. By waiting for the right opportunity, she can advance the progress of her mission a little.

After a few days, the opportunity came.

In order to show his power, Ling Qianyu broke into the nest of the fourth-level monster "Burning Bone Fire Eagle" and prepared to steal the eggs.

At this time, Qin Yunmeng's identification system was flashing red light madly to warn, but she responded with a smile, her fingertips quietly clenching the teleportation talisman in her sleeve.

Ling Qianyu had just received the egg when the Fire Eagle returned to the nest with Foehn Wind.

The moment the Fire Eagle returned to its nest, the Fire Iron Flying Ants detonated the poisonous fruit! An indigo mist instantly enveloped the demon bird's wings, and the Fire Eagle, in a frenzy, pounced on Ling Qianyu and Qin Yunmeng.

At this critical moment, Qin Yunmeng activated the teleportation talisman and dodged away.

Ling Qianyu faced the Fire Eagle head-on. If he hadn't had the magic weapon to protect him, he would have been killed by the Fire Eagle.

Ling Qianyu fought a desperate battle with the Fire Eagle. Qin Yunmeng wanted to escape, but Ling Qianyu suddenly stopped her and asked her to take action.

Although Qin Yunmeng was reluctant, after thinking about the future, she still took action.

But the two of them were no match for the fourth-order Fire Eagle.

Qin Yunmeng was struck by the Fire Eagle and fell into a chasm. The Mysterious Mirror barely blocked the falling rocks, but his left leg was pierced by a sharp rock edge (the sound of bone cracking was clearly audible);

The identification system forcibly activated the master's protection: "Detected that the bone-annihilating poison has penetrated into the meridians... Forced to hibernate!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qianpeng Sect's rescue, a Fire Iron Flying Ant burrowed into Qin Yunmeng's blood-stained skirt and snatched away the unclaimed phoenix wood core from her sleeve (in the original novel, this object later nurtured the remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix).

When the Fire Iron Flying Ant left, it seriously injured Qin Yunmeng.

Yun Chu was seriously injured and completed the mission twice!

The Fire Iron Flying Ant completed its mission and took the Wutong Wood Core to look for Yun Chu. The remaining Fire Iron Flying Ants continued to monitor Qin Yunmeng.

Wait until Qin Yunmeng and Ling Qianyu are rescued and brought back to the sect.

Qin Yunmeng's left leg meridians were corroded by poison, and he was in seclusion for at least half a year; the identification system ran out of energy and fell into hibernation (unable to scan for new opportunities).

Yun Chu signed the contract after obtaining the paulownia wood core.

Although she does not have ice spiritual roots, but fire spiritual roots, this paulownia wood core still suppresses her fire spiritual roots.

However, within Yunchu's system space, there was the "Dayan Gongfa," which could resolve conflicts between spiritual roots. Therefore, Yunchu had the Gallbladder Contract.

Now Qin Yunmeng is seriously injured and needs to recuperate in seclusion for a period of time. While she is in seclusion, it is a good time for her to break through.

Yun Chu had already contracted the Life Space Stone half a year ago.

She used the spiritual treasure from the previous mission plane to cover it up.

Before forming the pill, Yun Chu would never meet Qin Yunmeng to avoid the things on his body being identified by the system.

The sect's secret Qi refining realm is about to be opened, and a grand Qi refining competition is about to be held.

Yun Chu drew the talisman in preparation for the competition and entering the secret realm.

As for the heroine Qin Yunmeng, there is no need to worry about her now.

***

The Xianyao Sect's martial arts training ground was bustling with people, and a huge circular stone platform was suspended in the misty valley.

The Qi Refining Stage Competition is a grand event for the sect to test the cultivation results of low-level disciples and select candidates to enter the "Qi Refining Secret Realm".

Yun Chu, who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, was now hidden in the crowd, his eyes as calm as water.

Yun Chu was wearing the standard green robe of an ordinary outer sect disciple and had deliberately restrained his aura. At first glance, he looked nothing special.

Only in the Qiankun bag in her sleeve, there was a thick stack of talismans that she had drawn and sorted into categories, which exuded an imperceptible spiritual charm and was her greatest reliance on this trip.

"Station 137, Qin Yunchu versus Feng Tao!"

A clear call sounded. Yun Chu tapped his toes and gracefully leaped onto the stage, his movements smooth and decisive.

Feng Tao, the opponent, was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training and was skilled in wielding a long, fine steel staff, the wind from which was fierce and powerful. Seeing that Yun Chu's aura seemed to be around the ninth level (Yun Chu was deliberately disguising it), he flashed a scornful look in his eyes, clasped his fists, and said in a low voice, "Junior sister, please!"

The gong sounds!

Feng Tao shook his long stick, which stirred up a fierce wind and struck Yun Chu in the face with a tremendous force!

There was a cry of surprise from the audience, as if they had already seen the young female cultivator fumbling to block the attack.

Yun Chu didn't even frown.

She made a lightning-fast gesture with her left hand, and three quicksand talismans flew out like yellow butterflies, sticking precisely to the stone bricks under Feng Tao's feet!

laugh--

Feng Tao only felt that the hard ground of the ring under his feet turned into a quagmire in an instant. The heavy force pulled his legs, and his sprint momentum came to an abrupt halt. His center of gravity was unstable, and he stumbled and fell forward!

The moment he lost his balance, Yun Chu flicked his right hand, instantly activating five ice needle symbols that flashed with a faint blue chill! The ice needles, as fine as cow hair, were not aimed at vital points, but accurately shot towards his wrist, knee acupuncture points, and ankles where he held the stick.

Puff puff!

While the ice needles didn't contain extreme cold, the gentle chill they contained instantly penetrated Feng Tao's joints and tendons. His wrists went numb, and he could barely hold the long staff. His knees and ankles felt sore and stiff, and his movements suddenly became slow and stiff.

Feng Tao was shocked and angry. He forced his spiritual power to dispel the cold air and waved his long stick to try to break free.

However, Yun Chu's attack was as smooth as flowing water. The moment he raised his hand, another vine-binding talisman quietly arrived, and the tough spiritual vines instantly wrapped around his calves and waist!

"Fall."

Yun Chu's cold voice echoed, and she lightly tapped a stone with her toe. With a weak but precise force, the stone struck Feng Tao's lower back, where he was entangled in the vines and his center of gravity was unstable.

thump!

Feng Tao's massive body completely lost its balance, and he fell heavily onto the quicksand that had transformed back into solid ground. His staff flew out of his hand and across the ring. The outcome was decided.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by an outburst of disbelief.

"So fast! The coordination of the talismans is so exquisite!"

"Less than three breaths?! Senior Brother Feng didn't even finish one stroke of the stick, did he?"

"This Junior Sister Qin... has great attainments in talismans!"

Yun Chu silently retracted the remaining unactivated talismans, nodded slightly to the referee, and gracefully walked off the stage, as if he had done something insignificant. This calmness and composure made those who were concerned put aside their contempt.

With his exquisite use of talismans and superb combat awareness, Yun Chu overcame all obstacles and easily entered the top 16.

Yun Chu's next opponent is Liu Jingjing, a master of Qi Refining who is famous for his ability to control the situation.

Liu Jingjing specializes in wood-related magic. She is agile and has mastered the "Ten Thousand Trees Binding" technique to perfection. She has also refined a kind of miasma poison ivy seeds that can slow down the flow of spiritual energy, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

The two stepped onto the center stage, instantly attracting all eyes. Liu Jingjing, dressed in a green silk skirt, smiled charmingly, "Junior Sister Yun's talisman technique is astonishing. I, Senior Sister, must be careful."

The battle breaks out instantly!
