The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 85: Know the Misty Guest

"No body left? Senior, you think too highly of yourself!" Wu Shaohua said slowly with a solemn expression, "Under the seat of Jinhua Mountain, one of the six mountains, the true disciples, even the true cultivators, all regard me as their peer.

"You are just a true cultivator, do you really think I am afraid of you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators were shocked. The casual cultivators who were watching were all extremely shocked, because they had never seen or even heard of a Qi-refining cultivator who dared to challenge a True Cultivator!
Even though we heard that this Qi Ling Sect's true cultivator didn't have much time left, as long as he was still alive, he would be a true cultivator that countless Qi Refining cultivators needed to look up to.

Li Yuan paused as he was about to leave. He didn't want to cause any trouble, but when Wu Shaohua said this, he had to take action to safeguard the dignity of the true practitioners. More importantly, he had to safeguard the authority of the Qi Ling Sect's true practitioners over the Qi Refining practitioners.

Otherwise, from now on all Qi Ling Sect disciples will be targeted by Qi Refining cultivators, and this is the authority of a sect.

Li Yuan's face turned cold, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the jade pendant in front of Wu Shaohua suddenly shattered, and he woke up immediately, "Mind Skill!"

He immediately stretched out his hand and drew the rays of light from the sky into the mirror, then he opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, shouting: "The rays of light are in the sky, the golden light is on top! Command!"

Suddenly the mirror shattered, and a dazzling light emanated from it, and the golden light in the sky rushed forward with overwhelming force like the sun.

Li Yuan frowned, and the Dingkong Yuan ruler fell down, breaking up Jinhua.

However, he was also shocked by the rebound of Jinhua and almost lost his grip on the precious ruler.

"Young man, you are so arrogant. I will teach you a lesson today. Don't let you lose your sense of arrogance and impatience."

After saying that, Li Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed, activating his magical power. Raindrops fell from the sky like needles, sweeping over the earth.

Seeing this scene, Wu Shaohua was shocked. He took out a small tripod and shouted, "Pray to the spirits!"

The next moment, a golden light emerged from the cauldron, like a roar of golden thunder, dispersing the wind and rain in the sky.

Then a golden mountain a hundred feet high appeared, standing tall in the sky.

Jinshan pressed down fiercely, and Li Yuan swung the ruler in his hand horizontally. The two forces in the void connected, causing his palm to sink and he could not lift it up.

"This is a mountain of golden treasures! It is heavier than a thousand mountains and deeper than ten thousand waters!"

Li Yuan was shocked and did not dare to hold back. He exerted all his true energy. A peach wood hundreds of feet high slowly rose up. Rainwater floated between heaven and earth, and waves rose from the ground. The huge waves hit the golden bottom.

Even though he had been prepared, he was still bent over by the impact of this mountain of golden treasures. The backlash caused a mouthful of blood to gush out, and the sharp golden evil spirits crazily invaded his body, causing unbearable pain, as if thousands of swords were piercing his heart.

"Hahaha, you are a true cultivator, but you are nothing more than this!"

Wu Shaohua laughed wildly upon seeing this, and sneered: "I'll teach you a lesson today, so that you won't offend me again in the future!"

After saying that, he put the small tripod away, laughed loudly, and left arrogantly.

The crowd of casual cultivators who were watching were all shocked. Looking at the true cultivator with blood on the corner of his mouth and a weak breath, and the Qi-refining cultivator who walked away in an extraordinary and unrestrained manner, an unimaginable thought arose in their minds.

"Can this still be a battle between a True Cultivator and a Qi Refiner?"

Li Yuan endured the severe pain in his heart, turned around and left with Li Xuanyue.

After seeing the true cultivators leave, these casual cultivators could finally hold back their chatter.

"There really is a Qi Refining cultivator who fought beyond his level and outclassed a True Cultivator. It seems he even won!"

"How can there be such... such a terrible true cultivator?"

"Isn't this Qi Ling Sect's ancestor too incompetent?"

“I wonder how the disciples in their sect will address this true cultivator in the future.”

"Hahaha, how difficult is that?" A cultivator with a wild laugh on his face said, "How about just calling him Incompetent Ancestor?"

"Incompetent ancestor? The ancestor is incompetent! Hahaha, this is really wonderful!"

In Wenshan Market, the two true practitioners did not step forward to stop them, but it was Wang Xuanli and Xu Xinghan.

“Humph, this is what this person deserves!” Wang Xuanli couldn’t help but smile smugly, “After this incident, I’m afraid Li Yuan will die when he returns! Hahahaha, I feel really happy!”

Xu Xinghan said expressionlessly: “That Jingang Baoshan is the magical power of the upper-level true cultivators. Even if you fight against it, you will suffer some serious injuries.

This Linglong sect disciple is truly arrogant!"

……

At Qi Ling Mountain, Li Yuan endured his injuries and returned to the quiet room. Looking at the unconscious Li Xuanyue, he made up his mind and endured the injuries again to circulate his true energy, using the power of Yuan Shui to take away the golden evil in Li Xuanyue's body.

After half an hour, Li Xuanyue woke up, opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Grandmaster, how did you become like this!"

Li Yuan was breathing heavily, his vital energy was gradually drying up, and it seemed as if he didn't even have much strength left.

"It's okay. You and your sister have suffered a lot over the years." Li Yuan's old face no longer had the handsomeness he once had. He just looked like an old man in the mortal world.

“You two have been pretending to be casual cultivators and practicing asceticism for more than ten years. Although it is hard for you two siblings, it is also a kind of tempering.

I am old and about to die, so I will entrust the future of the sect to you, the younger generation."

"Ancestor, you have unfathomable powers, how could you have a death sentence?" Li Xuanyue couldn't help but shed tears.

"My child, Xuanming is carefree and can't take care of everything. You are calm and have a broad mind, so you will definitely be extraordinary in the future." Li Yuan stood up with a gentle smile, "Back then, your uncle, my junior brother, risked his life and saved my life.

Now I have paid it off.

As for the thirty-six lives of Qi Feng of the Wang family, I have compensated them to some extent over the years, and I have not let down the trust of my ancestors.

I have never treated the disciples of Qi Ling Sect unfairly.

I think I have completed my life’s work.”

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "I'll go to the mountain to check and wait for them to come back."

After saying that, he staggered up the mountain. The sky above Linchi Peak was filled with sunset glow, and there was an ancient tree standing on the peak. Li Yuan slowly walked under the tree and sat down where the ancestor Wang Xun had been. He smiled and watched the sky sink to the west. Originally, he still had several years to live, but he was destroyed by the golden evil spirit and was seriously injured, and his body could no longer hold on.

Li Yuan sat alone on the peak, his long hair flying in the wind, and he recalled his life.

When I was young and ignorant, I climbed the fairy mountain for the first time and listened to the lecturers on the stage telling all kinds of magical and interesting stories, such as the legends of immortals descending to the earth to reincarnate and experience tribulations, monsters repaying kindness, fox girls and snake girls.

When he was a child, he had longed for the universe and looked forward to traveling around the world when he grew up. He had also dreamed of becoming an immortal through cultivation and being worshipped by thousands of people, and woke up with a smile. He had also thought that once he had succeeded in his cultivation, he would never let the bullies in his class bully him again.

I also remembered that I had boasted to Ruan Jinghu that I would travel around the world and do good deeds.

Yes, that big idiot Ruan Jinghu who got an extra round couldn’t even write the rules of calligraphy, and he even begged me to light a lamp in the middle of the night to make up for him.

I recalled the joy I felt when I first started practicing, the distress I felt when I first encountered a bottleneck and was unable to make progress, the first time I worked exhaustedly on chores for a full month, and when I walked out of the chores hall and looked up to see the starry sky.

He still remembered the joy he felt when he first walked into his own cave, as well as the loneliness of living alone for so long, listening to the elders teaching them skills and the magic he clumsily learned.

He practiced all the way and before he knew it, he had reached the middle stage of Qi Refining and became a deacon disciple. He was cautious and treading on thin ice all the way to become an elder.

Later on, retreat and breakthrough became the only true practice in the sect.

At that time, he naively thought that he could do whatever he wanted, that he would no longer have to bow down to anyone, that he could travel around the world, see the mountains and rivers, and be himself. However, he witnessed the destruction of the sect, the tragic deaths of his fellow disciples, and the desperate submission of Yuhe Patriarch.

He knew that he had to live up to the thirty-six elders of the Wang family who sacrificed their lives for him, and he also had to bear the responsibility when he faced the disciples on the mountain who called him the ancestor.

Looking back on his life, which was less than two hundred years, he had not lived as long as a Qi-refining cultivator, but his experiences were incomparable to those of a Qi-refining cultivator.

Li Yuan sat on the top of the mountain for an unknown period of time. When his consciousness began to fade, he saw Chen Guan's figure.

Chen Guan asked anxiously: "Brother, why don't you use the life-extending elixir?

This is a pill that can prolong your life by ten years! Take it quickly."

Li Yuan said slowly: "No need, Junior Brother.

When I leave, you can go into the secret hall and take a look."

He raised his hand with difficulty, and the ancient order fell into Chen Guan's hands.

Chen Guan took the order and said sadly, "Yes, Senior Brother!"

"Qi Ling Sect... the future depends on you! Carry on the legacy, and don't let the 3,921 years of hard work of our ancestors go to waste." Li Yuan warned.

"Brother, rest assured. I will definitely keep an eye on the mountain gate!"

Chen Guan held the order and felt it was very heavy.

"She's back." Li Yuan slowly raised his hand and watched the red glow approaching in the sky.

"Junior Brother Li Yuan, how could you... pass away so quickly?"

A familiar voice came, Li Yuan glanced sideways and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Qian is still as graceful as ever."

Qian Shiyan was a little surprised, took out something, and said: "Junior Brother Li, this is the Huiyan Ling Fruit, which can extend your life by thirty years. Use it quickly and you can increase your lifespan even more."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister." Li Yuan shook his head, "Living another ten or twenty years is just a way to survive.

You can come back, it can be regarded as a reunion with an old friend. In the future, I hope you can listen to Brother Chen's ideas on important matters in the sect. He will be the next generation of Qi Ling leader! "

"Junior brother, I am a second-level cultivator. The sect has always been led by those with high cultivation, and it is not appropriate for you to do this." Qian Shiyan's eyes moved slightly, and continued: "Moreover, I brought some younger generations of the clan back this time, and I plan to build another peak in the mountain as a weapon peak, dedicated to refining weapons, and strengthen the foundation of the sect.

What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Li Yuan laughed, "It's good to be able to establish a peak. But even if you become the master, you won't be able to find what you want."

Chen Guan frowned and said, "Senior Sister Qian, Senior Brother is already on his deathbed, why bother to do this?"

“No problem.” Li Yuan raised his hand with difficulty, stopped the two from talking, and continued: “If my disciple Zhang Qi can break through to true cultivation, Senior Sister Qian or the Qian family can get what they want.”

"Junior Brother Li, do you really know what I want?" Qian Shiyan ignored Chen Guan's cold words and asked anxiously.

"You must know that the traveler in the mist and clouds outside the world is not a mirror polisher in the dust.

You guys go away, I'll be alone for a while."

Li Yuan waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Qian Shiyan looked delighted, but she still held back and said, "Junior Brother Li, don't worry. Junior Brother Zhang will definitely become a true cultivator!"

Chen Guan sighed, and placed the life-extending elixir behind Li Yuan before leaving.

At the foot of Linchi Peak, disciples from the four peaks were already waiting. When they saw the two true practitioners coming down the mountain, they all bowed and asked questions.

Zhang Qi shed tears and said: "Second Master, my master..."

"You should go and take a look. It will be considered as the duty of master and disciple!" Chen Guan said sadly.

"Yes!" Zhang Qi hurried to the top of the mountain.

"Others don't need to go, so as not to disturb Senior Brother's peace." He said again, shutting up everyone, and then continued:
"This is Qian Shiyan, the former elder of the mountain gate. She has been traveling outside for many years and now returns to the mountain gate. From now on, you must all respectfully address her as the Great Elder. Remember that?"

"Yes!

Disciple greets the Great Elder! "

All the disciples bowed respectfully.

Qian Shiyan nodded indifferently. Since she could get what she wanted, it didn't matter whether she kept the position of leader or not. She would just stay in Qi Lingmen and leave a way out for the Qian family.
