"Look at this, senior brother. This is a sword technique I've just mastered. What do you think?"
"Senior brother, look at the clouds over there. Don't they look like a pair of mandarin ducks?"
"Wow, the food tastes great today, senior brother. Here, have a taste."
"......"
As a former high-quality homebody, he had a clear understanding of himself.
The idea of a beautiful woman throwing herself at you is something that only happens in anime or dreams.
Now that it has actually happened to him, he is truly at a loss.
At the same time, he also noticed that Yu Lingyue's gaze towards him was becoming increasingly resentful.
A bad thought was born in his mind.
Could it be that Yu Lingyue already has feelings for Hua Yaoyao?
But that shouldn't be the case. In the book, Yu Lingyue was turned gay by Hua Yaoyao, so she shouldn't have any feelings for women now.
But why was she looking at me with such resentment?
Qin Yangjun was surrounded by such doubts all day long.
Finally, evening arrived, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Although Hua Yaoyao was reluctant to leave, she couldn't be so carefree as to go to Qin Yangjun's room to chat.
She still retained a girlish reserve in this regard, and Qin Yangjun was able to enjoy a rare moment of peace.
After a day's journey, Qin Yangjun finally arrived at his destination.
Before the celestial boat even landed, Qin Yangjun noticed a group of people dressed in blue robes waiting there.
Among them, the two strongest were at the Nascent Soul stage, and the rest were at the Golden Core stage.
As soon as Qin Yangjun stepped off the immortal boat, the group of people came to greet him, with the middle-aged man at the head of the group bowing with clasped hands.
"Qingluan Mountain, Sect Leader Mo Feiyu pays respects to Chief Qin."
The men and women around them echoed the sentiment.
"Greetings, Chief Qin."
"Greetings, Chief Qin."
"Greetings, Chief Qin."
"......"
Qin Yangjun looked at the person in front of him and pondered for a moment.
In the Great Universe, there are four regions: east, west, south, and north. These four regions are controlled by four major sects.
The Heart-Seeking Manor in the Eastern Region, the Beast King Valley in the Western Region, and the Daoist Sect in the Northern Region.
And this Southern Region is under the control of their Yuqian Sect.
All these sects, large and small, are under the command of the Yuqian Sect, and their leaders need the Yuqian Sect's approval to take office.
To be honest, Qin Yangjun felt that the current situation was already a bit overprotective. Not only did two Golden Core cultivators come to a ruin meant for Qi Refining stage trials, but a bunch of Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul cultivators were also assigned to guard the gate.
Forget about trials, it felt like a vacation.
Moreover, this plot point is not in the book.
"So it's Sect Leader Mo! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner. May I ask what brings you here, Sect Leader Mo...?"
"Oh, it's like this. Recently, the Wanfa Tianjiao cultivators have been very active in the vicinity. So the sect leader specially arranged for us to be here to prevent the demonic villains from attacking the chief, and at the same time to see if we can capture tens of thousands of Wanfa Tianjiao cultivators to take back for interrogation."
"Oh... I see."
It seems that something has changed in the timeline, and the previously unnoticed Myriad Laws Cult has been discovered.
After realizing what had happened, Qin Yangjun couldn't help but glance at Cheng Lieqing in the group. At this moment, Cheng Lieqing had a sullen face and looked very unpleasant.
Qin Yangjun was speechless; these demonic cultivators were simply unreliable.
I hope this unexpected event won't affect my plans.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Feiyu led the group to the ruins.
The ruins were opened yesterday. The huge opening resembled a giant beast with its mouth wide open. Some patterns could be vaguely seen on the stone walls, but due to the passage of time, it was impossible to identify what type of runes they were.
Without further ado, the group went inside, where a white light flashed.
A group of people disappeared at the cave entrance.
The people of Qingluan Mountain then placed a cordon at the cave entrance.
When Qin Yangjun opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange place. The sky was dark, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a straight road with bottomless cliffs on both sides. Below the cliffs, a blood-red aura was spreading.
The whole world has a strange feeling to it.
The blood aura below the cliff is the blood poison left by the Crimson Glutton. Due to the wear and tear of time, its toxicity has been greatly reduced, but even so, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator accidentally inhales it, he will die on the spot.
Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun couldn't help but glance at Hua Yaoyao. He had chosen the Breath-Holding Technique for her because he had thought that Hua Yaoyao might come to the Ancient Spirit Ruins with him.
This blood poison won't kill Hua Yaoyao, but it will cause her a lot of suffering. Since they're all thinking of bringing her into their camp, they definitely have to treat her well.
Hua Yaoyao didn't notice Qin Yangjun's gaze. Although she was a bit love-struck, she hadn't forgotten the real reason she came here.
"Alright, fellow disciples, exploring this ancient spirit ruins is your first mission. The sect has given us preferential treatment, allowing my senior brother and I to accompany you. However, during this exploration, unless it's a life-or-death situation, neither my senior brother nor I will intervene..."
Before Qin Yangjun could speak, Hua Yaoyao began to explain the rules of this trial.
It must be said that Hua Yaoyao has a certain heroic air about her when she gets serious.
Hua Yaoyao probably already realized that she didn't like to make perfunctory speeches, so she spoke first.
Because of this, Hua Yaoyao's reputation in Qin Yangjun's heart rose even higher.
After Hua Yaoyao finished speaking, a group of disciples began to explore the path ahead, while Hua Yaoyao returned to Qin Yangjun's side.
The exploration went as smoothly as Qin Yangjun had anticipated.
Along the way, they encountered some low-level Qi Refining demonic beasts and ghosts, which the new students could easily handle.
And Li Xuanyang, unsurprisingly, started competing with Yu Lingyue...
Chapter Twenty-Five: Let's Take Action!
Li Xuanyang wants to have a contest with Yu Lingyue to see who can clear out more monsters.
They even required Qin Yangjun and Hua Yaoyao to have a notarized agreement.
Qin Yangjun had absolutely no interest in this clichéd plot, because he already knew the ending before it even began.
So he simply refused.
Hua Yaoyao agreed to Li Xuanyang's request. In her view, competition was also a part of the cultivation process among peers, and she could use Li Xuanyang to hone her skills as a junior sister.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the group began to rest on the spot.
Based on the kill count, Li Xuanyang lost as expected.
Yu Lingyue won the match with great ease.
Qian Xiaoyu cheered loudly, while Li Xuanyang, with a livid face, uttered harsh words.
Qin Yangjun didn't pay much attention to Yu Lingyue's situation, only glancing at it one last time.
His attention was focused on the ruins the whole way.
He wanted to know whether the true essence of the Crimson Glutton had dissipated or was hidden somewhere else.
After all, the Crimson Gluttony True Essence is a truly valuable item. If I could obtain it, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage within half a month would not be a problem.
Unfortunately, the ruins were so badly damaged that all the murals and runes were gone, making them impossible to find.
Because Qin Yangjun was so focused, he didn't notice that Cheng Lieqing was constantly giving him meaningful glances, urging him to find an opportunity to attack Yu Lingyue.
He tried to wink and make faces for a long time, but the other person just ignored him.
In his desperation, he resorted to telepathy.
However, the Yuqian Sect would not teach newcomers the method of transmitting sound right away, so Cheng Lieqing naturally used their unique method of demonic cultivation.
"Chief Qin! Don't forget the important matter!"
Qin Yangjun was speechless.
It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Oh well, it's time to take action.
Ok?
Yu Lingyue, who was resting in the distance, suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but look in the direction where the other disciples were resting.
As the protagonist, Yu Lingyue's outrageous cultivation technique allows her to see through everything, and she immediately detected this fleeting wisp of demonic energy.
However, due to her insufficient strength, she was unable to accurately pinpoint the source of the aura.
But this was enough to raise her guard.
The aura of demonic forces... but only disciples of my sect are here. Could it be...?
A terrible thought arose in Yu Lingyue's mind.
Just as Yu Lingyue was pondering with doubt and uncertainty, she noticed Qin Yangjun waving at her from not far away.
Just then, Yu Lingyue also wanted to tell Qin Yangjun about her discovery, so she came to Qin Yangjun's side.
"Junior Sister Yu, you truly deserve to have the talent of a Celestial Grade. Your strength has increased so much in just one month."
"As for Senior Brother, I still rely on Master and Senior Brother's guidance. May I ask what brings you here, Senior Brother?"
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask my junior sister if the Third Elder has taught us any magical artifacts for flying?"
"A magical artifact for flying? Why do you ask about that, Senior Brother?"
Qin Yangjun's question surprised Yu Lingyue.
She remembered clearly that Qin Yangjun had given her a storage bag containing a flying artifact called the Wind and Thunder Wings.
She had already successfully condensed the Wind and Thunder Wings not long ago, but since it was given to her by the person in question, why ask such a question?
