Chapter 547 Tell me, who is the real monster (4)
Of course,
it’s for us
to cultivate
in this lifetime.
It couldn’t
have been
generated out of thin air,
right?
Qi Huang
crossed her arms,
looking slightly
proud.
Because
her injuries
had improved
somewhat,
she no longer
spat blood
just by sitting
still.
Her
meaning was that
in one day,
she had cultivated
one-sixth
of the True Qi
for the third layer
of the Huashen Realm.
Shi Yuqi
turned her head
to confirm with
Cheng Hong Ling.
“Mhm.”
Cheng Hong Ling
nodded infinitesimally.
This was because
she really didn’t want to steal
the clone’s
credit.
“How is that possible?
Let alone
a 90%
Immortal bloodline,
even the rumored
perfect
100% bloodline
has never been
heard to have
such a
terrifying
cultivation speed.”
Shi Yuqi’s
first reaction
was not surprise,
but doubt.
After all,
this had
subverted
her common sense.
“No, there must
be something
wrong.
This doesn’t
make sense.
Cultivating immortality
is so difficult!”
Shi Yuqi began to pace
back and forth
on the spot,
looking as if
she were racking her brain.
Qi Huang
and Cheng Hong Ling
exchanged a glance,
both showing helpless
expressions.
“See?
Being too
heaven-defying
isn’t a good thing either.
It made a perfectly good
master depressed.”
“Right!”
Suddenly,
Shi Yuqi’s beautiful eyes lit up,
and she said,
“I know!”
“What?”
Qi Huang
and Cheng Hong Ling
quickly leaned in.
“It must be that you were injured,
and your Qi Sea
accumulated water!”
Shi Yuqi said,
as if it were a fact.
Cheng Hong Ling’s
mouth twitched slightly,
clearly suppressing her anger.
“Pfft!”
Qi Huang
burst out laughing
and reflexively retorted,
“I think your cerebral cortex is filled with water!”
“Hmph,
how dare a mere
disciple scold their master?”
Shi Yuqi’s
beautiful eyes narrowed slightly,
and a dangerous aura emanated
from her.
“Who asked you to so happily
say something like that?
It’s as if we have some deep-seated hatred between us.”
Qi Huang immediately counterattacked.
“Cough, cough,
nonsense! I was happy?
I was clearly very worried about you!
Look, I’m even crying.”
Shi Yuqi’s expression became a little unnatural.
Then, she pretended to rub her eye.
Unexpectedly, she managed to squeeze out a tear.
“Is that so?
Then I’m truly
sorry.
I misunderstood you.
I meant that I’ve only heard of hydrocephalus,
and never heard that the Qi Sea
can also accumulate water.
If such a thing
really happened,
would we still be here,
talking and laughing with you?”
Qi Huang explained noncommittally,
thinking to herself,
“You really did shed tears,
but not out of sadness,
but out of envy, jealousy, and hatred.”
“But this really doesn’t make sense!
After cultivators enter the Huashen Realm,
it’s extremely difficult to advance even a tiny bit.
You cultivated one-sixth of the True Qi for the third layer of the Huashen Realm in just one night.
Doesn’t that mean you only need six days to break through to the fourth layer of the Huashen Realm?”
Shi Yuqi still found it hard to accept.
Everything in front of her.
“That’s right, that’s why I said I wanted to replace Hua Yu. You don’t think I was joking, do you? I didn’t agree to leave immediately yesterday because you didn’t believe me then, so I wanted to prove it to you.”
Qi Huang explained the reason.
“But… but how did you do it? Your bloodline is only 80%!”
Shi Yuqi asked, still unwilling to give up, after a moment of silence.
“Sorry, Master! This involves my ancestral cultivation technique, so I can’t tell you.”
Qi Huang, who was prone to lying, blurted out.
Shi Yuqi, being thoughtful, didn’t press further. After a moment of silence, she grabbed Cheng Hong Ling’s jade hand and pulled her into the house, saying, “If you want me to believe you, then cultivate for me now. With such an exaggerated growth rate, your absorption of spiritual energy should also be very fast.”
“Okay, but you can’t use your spiritual sense to probe. Our cultivation technique is a secret.”
Qi Huang warned, as she was controlling the True Qi circulation with her Heavenly Punishment Realm spiritual sense. If Shi Yuqi probed with her spiritual sense, her strength would be exposed immediately.
“No problem! Hurry up!”
Shi Yuqi said impatiently.
“Leave it to me. Anyway, that Anemia Ointment hasn’t completely lost its effect yet.”
Qi Huang mentally communicated with her main body.
Cheng Hong Ling understood and entered the Sea of Consciousness with the clone, then performed the Letter Relocation Technique.
Next, Qi Huang controlled the main body’s body and began to cultivate. The surrounding water spiritual energy was attracted and rushed into her Qi Sea, forming a spiritual energy vortex around her body.
At the same time, the temperature in the room began to drop. Dense water droplets appeared on the ground and furniture, and then quickly solidified into ice.
Shi Yuqi’s beautiful eyes widened, her eyeballs almost popping out, and her small mouth opened wide enough to fit a duck egg.
To be safe, after making a show of it, Qi Huang switched identities with her main body and exited the Sea of Consciousness.
“How is it, Master! I didn’t lie to you, did I? With this cultivation speed, can I increase so much True Qi in one night?”
Qi Huang raised the corner of her mouth triumphantly.
“My heavens! This cultivation speed, do you want to anger me to death and inherit Jade Peak? Who was it that said the path of cultivation is long and arduous?”
Shi Yuqi said foolishly.
“Master, how does this cultivation speed compare to Hua Yu? Can I replace her?”
Qi Huang asked with a satisfied smile.
“More than just replacing her, letting her be your foot-washing servant is already overestimating her.”
Shi Yuqi reacted, her mouth twitching even more from excitement. She took out a piece of paper from her embrace and said, “This is her cultivation speed when she was in the Huashen Realm.”
“You actually went to ask the Sect Leader?”
Qi Huang was surprised.
“Of course, as a master, I can’t lack trust in my disciple.”
Shi Yuqi smiled triumphantly.
Cheng Hong Ling took it and looked.
It was written there, the time Hua Yu took to break through each small layer in the Huashen Realm.
Just as she had predicted, even for the first layer, that woman took
four months. It took her fifteen years in total from entering the Huashen Realm to advancing to the Shentong Realm.
“It took four months for the first layer, and a full fifteen years from Huashen Realm to Shentong Realm. And she dares to call herself a monster!”
Qi Huang ridiculed.
Hearing this,
Shi Yuqi’s mouth twitched more and more.
“Master, don’t we need to leave now?”
Cheng Hong Ling put away the note and said.
“Of course!”
Shi Yuqi said with a firm expression,
then grabbed Cheng Hong Ling and pulled her outside: “Come with me to see the Sect Leader. Until our Jade Peak shakes off the title of the last place peak, no one can leave Hua Rong Sect!”
Thus, the three masters and disciples found Hua Ru Yi.
“Sect Leader, hasn’t Hua Yu changed her mind yet?”
Shi Yuqi instinctively asked.
“No, it seems she’s really made up her mind this time.
I don’t know what Cao Yang has filled her head with,”
Hua Ru Yi sighed wearily, as she had been mentally exhausted by the disciples’ issues during this period.
“It’s okay, let her get married if she wants.
Strip her of her Saintess title,
and that will minimize the impact.”
Shi Yuqi suggested without batting an eye.
“I thought the same,
but once her Saintess title is stripped,
it’s equivalent to distancing ourselves from her.
What about the future of our Hua Rong Sect?
You heard it at the last meeting,
Hua Yu said that if she wasn’t the Saintess,
she would no longer look after Hua Rong Sect.”
Hua Ru Yi shook her head helplessly.
“It’s fine, what’s the future?
There’s her!”
Shi Yuqi directly pushed Cheng Hong Ling forward.
Hua Ru Yi re-examined Cheng Hong Ling and then said, “She is indeed a good seedling.
Unfortunately, she’s too far behind Hua Yu.
She cannot shoulder the important responsibility of developing the sect.”
“That’s not necessarily true.
This kid only took one night
to advance from the second layer of the Huashen Realm to the third layer of the Huashen Realm,
and it took her another day to cultivate one-sixth of the True Qi for the third layer of the Huashen Realm at such a terrifying speed. Can she shoulder the future of our Hua Rong Sect?”
Shi Yuqi asked forcefully.
“What? Junior Sister Shi, are you joking?
Such cultivation speed, let alone cultivators with 80% or 90% bloodline, even cultivators with the legendary perfect 100% bloodline cannot achieve it.”
Hua Ru Yi naturally expressed doubt at first encounter.
“Disciple, show the Sect Leader what you’ve got.”
Shi Yuqi winked at Cheng Hong Ling.
