Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 130 Fu Chao's Big Plan
If you try to please both sides and have your cake and eat it too, you'll end up with nothing and offend both women.

At this point, Lü Ruoxi got angry, and he stopped talking, which only made things worse.

She'll be fine once she's vented.

On the contrary, Yu Yunyi smiled broadly, clearly having gained a lot of face in front of Lü Ruoxi.

"Brother Li, I heard you're very confident of winning the championship this time, is that right?"

Fu Chao pressed Li Yunjing down into his seat, put his arm around Li Yunjing's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

This intimate display was really too much for Li Yunjing to handle, but Fu Chao had come to Li Yunjing's rescue. Lü Ruoxi snorted and had no choice but to sit down.

"I'm still confident! Young Master Fu, what's wrong?"

Li Yunjing was a little puzzled. What does my winning first place have to do with you?
Why do you look even more excited than I am?
I'm not going to give you that low-grade spiritual artifact!
"Hehe! That's good!"

Fu Chao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Li, do a good job! Tell me if you need anything! This time, you must take first place! If you take first place, I'll reward you with ten thousand spirit stones! No! Twenty thousand spirit stones!"

"What do you mean?"

Li Yunjing was somewhat bewildered.

The sun rises from the west?

"Humph!"

Yu Yunyi, standing to the side, snorted coldly, glared at Fu Chao, and explained to Li Yunjing, "He set up a gambling den and used you as a tool to earn spirit stones!"

"What? You can play it like that?"

Li Yunjing was completely dumbfounded. He understood the betting odds!
But is it okay to bet on the outer sect competition of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
Fu Chao, is he playing this big game?
"Hehe! Brother Li didn't even have to pay anything, and he got 20,000 spirit stones for free. That's a good thing! I didn't ask him to throw the match!"

The embarrassment on Fu Chao's face vanished in an instant. He then looked at Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi and laughed, "If you bet on Li Yunjing and win all the way, you can make a fortune! This is a good deal!"

After listening to Fu Chao and Yu Yunyi's words, Li Yunjing finally understood what was going on.

"Great! Yunyi, Senior Sister Lü, you can support me too! I guarantee a win! We're all on the same side, I'll be happy if you earn more!"

So that's what happened. Li Yunjing had no complaints at all; on the contrary, he persuaded Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi to join in as well.

Why wouldn't you take a free spirit stone?
"Alright then! Fu Chao, here are my ten thousand spirit stones, don't you dare lose them."

Seeing that Li Yunjing had no objections, Yu Yunyi took out a storage bag and handed it to Fu Chao.

"How could it be gone? But Yu Yunyi, you're too stingy! I put in 50 spirit stones!"

Fu Chao took the storage bag and muttered something in a low voice, clearly dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Lü Ruoxi giggled and said, "Fu Chao, since Yunyi is going to join in, I have ten thousand spirit stones here. I'll leave them to you to manage. You mustn't lose my spirit stones. Otherwise, I'll come and stay at your Kuangji Peak!"

"Forehead……"

Fu Chao was speechless. What are you two doing, not caring about anything?
To be a hands-off manager?
And you expect a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood? Do I owe you anything?
Whether you make a profit or a loss depends on Li Yunjing's performance. What can I do?

Fu Chao responded helplessly.

After saying this, Fu Chao seemed to remember something and whispered, "To ensure Li Yunjing's victory, I will lend him a high-grade spiritual weapon. Don't worry!"

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, not only Li Yunjing, but also Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were stunned.

What is the concept of a superior-grade spiritual weapon?
Only those who have reached the sixth or seventh level of the Foundation Establishment realm can possess it!
Does Fu Chao possess all these treasures?

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi could hardly believe their ears. They were all true disciples, yet the difference between them was too great.
"Hehe! My older brother gave it to me for self-defense!"

Fu Chao said smugly.

At that moment, no one said anything about Fu Chao; Li Yunjing and the other two were incredibly envious.

Fu Chao, relying on his elder brother, acted arrogantly and domineeringly within the sect, and no one dared to provoke him.

This is a real troublemaker!

Everyone envies Fu Chao for having such a great older brother!

Of course, in secret, many people cursed Fu Chao as a good-for-nothing, saying that he was only good because of his older brother. Without his older brother, he was nothing but dog shit, and anyone could easily teach this arrogant brat a lesson!
Fu Chao was naturally aware of these rumors and gossip.

Instead of being angry, the second young master of the Fu family became even more smug.

Who told you you didn't have a powerful older brother!
Reincarnation is a skill, and you guys can't do it!
At this moment, Fu Chao was extremely pleased with himself for having stunned both Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, his two true disciples.

After finishing their business, Li Yunjing and his companions noticed that several more disciples and sect leaders had appeared on the central platform. They then fell silent and began to talk about romantic matters.

Before long, Li Yunjing saw someone he never expected!
He poked Fu Chao hard in the lower back, signaling him to turn his head.

"What are you doing?"

Fu Chao looked impatient. Li Yunjing had gone too far!

They actually dared to stab him in the kidneys.

What will happen to those girls if their kidneys are damaged?
"Wei Henian!"

Li Yunjing did not dare to say the name aloud, but transmitted it through divine sense.

"Huh? That bastard's here?"

Upon hearing the name, Fu Chao's brows furrowed. He turned around abruptly and saw Wei Henian and several disciples and sect leaders chatting and laughing as they walked toward the second row of stands.

Wei Henian and the others are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their status is higher than that of Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, which is why they have better positions.

Looking at Wei Henian, who was surrounded by admirers, Fu Chao's face was extremely gloomy.

"Just you wait! This time, I'm going to really teach this guy a lesson!"

Fu Chao said in a sinister tone.

"Fu Chao, don't do anything reckless! We haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so we're always at a disadvantage compared to Wei Henian and the others. If a conflict really breaks out and we get taught a lesson, who will we complain to?"

Yu Yunyi was startled and quickly tried to comfort her.

She didn't want to be dragged down by Fu Chao, to be made to look bad, and to lose all her goddess image overnight!
Fu Chao is a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, and Yu Yunyi is truly terrified.

"Yes! You must stay calm!"

Lü Ruoxi also chimed in with advice, saying that the three of them were no match for Wei Henian!

Even Li Yunjing has made a move, so quickly grab Fu Chao's sleeve. We can't let Fu Chao go crazy!

Li Yunjing was still very afraid to face Wei Henian.

This guy seems to have a lot of influence among the true disciples.

Seeing him walking in the middle, flanked by true disciples and sect deacons, one could tell that this person, who dared to compete for power with Fu Chao's elder brother, was no ordinary true disciple!
"Hehe! I'm not stupid! I'll call my second uncle over! He's at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, enough to protect us!"

As Fu Chao spoke, he took out a "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" and sent someone away.

"So casual?"

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Li Yunjing were all dumbfounded. Are you still a junior?
When something happens, they call you Second Uncle?
Does your second uncle owe you something?
You should know that Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi also have elders within the sect. If the two of them were to call their elders because of this matter, they would definitely be severely reprimanded.

Therefore, a normal disciple of the true lineage cannot get their elders to help unless it is a truly important matter.

People like Fu Chao are truly unheard of and unseen.

"It's alright! My second uncle listens to me! Doesn't he know who my brother is!"

Fu Chao chuckled, his face full of smugness.

"Sigh! Fu Chao, that young master from a wealthy family, is really not someone you can afford to offend!"

Even Li Yunjing was humbled. Anyone who bullied Fu Chao would be in deep trouble.

These lunatics in the Fu family are really not to be trifled with!

Li Yunjing entered the cultivation world and came into contact with so many cultivators. Among such protective families, the Fu family was still far ahead and could not be surpassed.

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi stopped trying to persuade him, since Fu Chao's second uncle was powerful and held a high position.

Fu Chao invited this person over, so Wei Henian had no chance to embarrass them.

Since that's the case, let's just let Fu Chao do as he pleases!
Li Yunjing sat there for a while longer, then said in a low voice, "It's almost time, I'll go down now."

"Yes! Be careful! Don't let your guard down!"

As Li Yunjing was leaving, Yu Yunyi gave him some words of advice.

"Hey! You're starting to care now?"

Lu Ruoxi and Fu Chao, standing to the side, kept laughing strangely.

"You guys!"

Looking at Yu Yunyi's slightly flushed face, Li Yunjing glanced at Fu Chao and Lü Ruoxi, and shook his head slightly.

These people are such gossips!

Yu Yunyi was just expressing concern for herself, saying, "Nothing happened between us!"
"Don't worry! You're all in charge here, but I'll handle the rest!"

Li Yunjing nodded confidently and quickly left the stands. Unbeknownst to Li Yunjing, Wei Henian cast a chilling glance at his retreating figure.

Yinshan Bone Demon failed, and he is now preparing to kill Li Yunjing himself!

This outer sect competition is the opportunity!

His "Ten Thousand Laws Society" members have all prepared powerful trump cards to ensure that if they encounter Li Yunjing, they will definitely take action and kill him!
Wei Henian appeared here to witness Li Yunjing's miserable death!
Wei Henian glanced at Fu Chao again without leaving a trace. Didn't you raise a large sum of spirit stones to run the business?
I'll make you suffer!
Let's see how you compensate others for their spirit stones!
First, I'll bankrupt you, then I'll find a chance to kill you!

As for the fierce battle between Fu Chao and Wei Henian, Li Yunjing will not have the chance to witness it.

After stepping off the stage and weaving through the crowd, when Li Yunjing returned to his seat, Yan Dingzhi and the others spoke to him with utmost politeness.

"We're all on the same side, so relax! Senior Sister Yu Yunyi and Senior Sister Lü Ruoxi are my friends, and Fu Chao is a buddy too!"

Seeing their discomfort, Li Yunjing shook his head slightly and offered an explanation.

His explanation only made Yan Dingzhi and the others more nervous.

Yan Dingzhi and the others had already elevated Li Yunjing's status to an almost superhuman level, making him practically a true disciple.

Li Yunjing was speechless at everyone's respectful attitude.

"Never mind! They'll get used to it over time!"

Li Yunjing could only think this way.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Suddenly, three bells rang out from the training ground, and everyone fell silent.

The entire training ground, with nearly 20,000 people, fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the central stands, nine important figures had already appeared in the front nine seats.

One of the elders sat in the center, his black Taoist robe emitting a warm, precious light. The figure of this important person was hazy, and many disciples could not make out his appearance.

But everyone knows that this is the highest leader of the "Foreign Affairs Hall," the outer sect elder.

The man stood up and surveyed the entire room.

All the disciples, whether from the outer sect or the inner sect, had solemn expressions.

Everyone felt that this sect elder was watching them, including Li Yunjing!

Even though he knew that the elder of the "Foreign Affairs Hall" wasn't looking at him, Li Yunjing still had this illusion.

This is the profound and mysterious power of a Golden Core Realm expert!
The Golden Core Realm elder was extremely imposing, and Li Yunjing even had to lower his head, not daring to look at the elder, for fear that the elder would notice his disrespect.

Like Li Yunjing, almost everyone was like this, not daring to look directly at the important figures.

Golden Core Realm experts are among the strongest in the entire Southern Heaven Continent.

They are the backbone of all major sects and families.

Only when a sect or family produces a Golden Core Realm expert can it be considered a first-rate force.

A Golden Core Realm expert can protect a sect or family for almost a thousand years!

Now, this important figure slowly began to speak.

"The Outer Sect Competition is held annually and is an important event for our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'. Its purpose is to select outstanding disciples and cultivate them."

"All disciples who have signed up must give it their all. As long as you have a breath left, the sect will heal your injuries!"

"Finally, the sect has prepared generous rewards for the top sixty-four outstanding disciples. I hope that each of you will strive hard and achieve a good ranking!"

There was no applause, no screams; everyone listened in silence.

"let's start!"

Without uttering any unnecessary words, the important figure announced the start of the competition after only a few short remarks.

"boom!"

After the important person finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene returned to its lively state.

With over 20,000 people participating or watching, even if everyone was just whispering, the sheer number of people created a thunderous roar.

As the important figure spoke, the strength of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was revealed.

A total of sixty-four Foundation Establishment Realm deacons leaped onto the arena to act as referees.

Besides fairly judging the results of the matches, these Foundation Establishment Realm deacons also have another role: to be responsible for rescuing seriously injured disciples as soon as possible.

The important figures in the sect said that as long as he had a breath left, he could be saved.

Naturally, it depends on these Foundation Establishment stage experts.

There are at least three hundred Foundation Establishment experts from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" present today!

This is the power of a behemoth sect!
A single competition among the outer disciples within the sect is enough to mobilize a formidable force sufficient to wipe out five or six top-tier powers!

As the competition began, Li Yunjing's sect identity token started vibrating loudly.

Li Yunjing picked it up and saw a line of information displayed on the identity token.

[Ring #8, Opponent: He Tingbao]

"Hey! This feature is pretty good! It simplifies the event process."

Seeing this, Li Yunjing chuckled. He immediately stood up and, following the instructions, walked towards arena number eight.

"Brother Li will win!"

Behind them, Yan Dingzhi and the others did not get up, clearly indicating that they had not been chosen in the first round.

These colleagues from the "Library" all offered words of encouragement to Li Yunjing.

"Hahaha! Don't worry! We'll win!"

Without turning his head, Li Yunjing casually waved his hand and confidently stepped onto the number eight arena.

At this moment, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, and the others on the stage saw Li Yunjing appear and also turned their attention to him.

Li Yunjing is very talented and his skills are improving rapidly.

However, their true combat strength was almost never revealed to the three of them.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao were very curious about this.

This opportunity also allows us to see Li Yunjing's true skill level.

"I hope you live a few more lifetimes!"

On the stands, Wei Henian's cold gaze also fell on Li Yunjing, and then he glanced at Fu Chao on the edge of the field without making a sound.

This little bastard never goes out; he's really hard to kill!
It's time to set a trap and let him fall into it.

Let's start by making Fu Chao lose everything this time!

At this moment, Li Yunjing's opponent appeared on the number eight arena.

"So you're Li Yunjing? You're no match for me! Get out of here at once! Otherwise, don't blame me for being too harsh and injuring you! Your future cultivation path will be ruined, and you'll never have the chance to improve again!"

The newcomer seemed full of confidence and immediately began to berate Li Yunjing.

This is a preemptive strike to intimidate Li Yunjing!

Over the years, some outer disciples who participated in the minor competitions, despite having reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, were actually just greenhorns who hadn't had much experience.

As soon as someone puts even a little pressure on him, he immediately gets nervous, and even though he has 100% of his skills, he can't perform at 70%, which is why he is easily defeated by his opponent.

He Tingbao is a seasoned veteran of the outer sect, so he naturally understands this well.

Li Yunjing glanced at the other person, who was also wearing a blue outer sect Taoist robe.

The man's magical power was not concealed; it was released in a powerful and unrestrained manner, clearly intended to demonstrate his power to Li Yunjing.

The flying sword in this person's hand was merely a high-grade magic weapon called "Frost Star Sword," a standard weapon issued by the sect.

Looking at it this way, this person is nothing special among the outer disciples except for his seniority; he's just an ordinary, useless person!

How dare someone like that try to scare me?

Do you really think you're some clueless newbie?
"Alright! He Tingbao, you can go and rest now."

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly and said disdainfully that he didn't even want to talk to this kind of person.

As soon as Li Yunjing finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards his opponent ten feet away!

"laugh!"

The "Wind-Catching and Shadow-Sweeping Technique" was extremely fast; Li Yunjing arrived in an instant, like a gentle breeze.

The "Soul-Slaying Sword" flashed and, with a "clang," knocked the "Frost Star Sword" from the man's hand.

He Tingbao was taken aback. Before he could even see clearly, the tip of a long sword was already pointing at his brow.
