It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Upon hearing this, Xie Yu'er's expression instantly froze; she had no such ability.

Just thinking about that young man in white from earlier made her shudder; he was simply too strong.

She lost before she could even see how her opponent made their move.

Xie Yu'er looked troubled and said:

"No, senior sister, he's very strong. I'm no match for him at all."

Gu Lianxin frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"Oh? Didn't you say he was just a beginner disciple? How come you're no match for him?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, he's a very strange person. I can't see through him at all. I only know that his cultivation level is at least at the level of a half-saint."

Upon hearing Xie Yu'er's explanation, Gu Lianxin showed a look of great interest.

No wonder he was able to snatch the Qingqiu Fox from Xie Yu'er; he actually had a cultivation level of at least half-saint.

That's interesting, really interesting.

"I'll go find him myself and get to the bottom of this."

With a flick of her sleeve, Gu Lianxin caused the two figures to vanish from the courtyard in an instant.

Outside the gate, there is a mountain peak and a courtyard filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Chen Ping lay on a rocking chair, looking at the small, green fox beside him, his heart filled with doubt.

It's really strange. Just by eating a rare and precious herb, such a bizarre change has occurred.

He didn't know how to tame spirit beasts, so he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Just then, two figures rushed over from a distance. Yuan Xing led Qin Mengyao quickly into the courtyard.

Upon seeing the two, Chen Ping looked at Qin Mengyao behind Yuan Xing and his face immediately lit up with joy. This must be the professional that Yuan Xing had found from the Spirit Beast Peak.

"Junior sister, you've come at the right time! Quickly, help me take a look and see what's wrong with my little spirit beast."

Chen Ping pointed to Xiao Qing beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qing's mutated body gradually returned to calm and turned back into the seemingly ordinary little fox.

At this moment, Xiaoqing shook her fluffy fur, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Chen Ping with a blank expression.

Qin Mengyao looked at Xiaoqing with amazement in her eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a clever and beautiful little fox. She felt that it was extraordinary and completely different from the spirit beasts she had raised over the past ten years.

She couldn't resist moving closer to Xiao Qing and gently stroking its green fur.

Just then, Xiaoqing suddenly bristled and bit Qin Mengyao's finger.

Seeing this, Qin Mengyao didn't care at all. Although she was just a menial disciple, she still had the cultivation of the Integration Realm.

These newly sentient mortal beasts are not aggressive at all; if they bite, so be it.

But the next moment, she showed a pained expression and quickly withdrew her finger. She didn't expect that this seemingly harmless little fox would actually bite her.

"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"

"This is my guest, so don't cause any trouble."

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately gave Xiao Qing a light shout, and Xiao Qing instantly suppressed her aura.

She put on a well-behaved look, then ran into Chen Ping's arms and snuggled inside.

"By the way, senior brother, your little fox is naturally intelligent and contains spiritual energy. If you raise it on the Spirit Beast Peak, it will grow into a true spirit beast in less than half a month."

Qin Mengyao said to Chen Ping.

Qin Mengyao was genuinely fond of Xiaoqing, a spirit beast with exceptional talent.

She couldn't resist the urge to take it back to Spirit Beast Peak and nurture it carefully, after all, this was her specialty, which she had cultivated for ten years.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping decisively refused. He only raised Xiao Qing to relieve his boredom and had no intention of letting Xiao Qing grow into a spirit beast for fighting.

"You just need to tell me what precautions to take when raising ordinary beasts and spirit beasts."

Chen Ping said.

In the next few moments, Qin Mengyao patiently explained that she had raised spirit beasts on the Spirit Beast Peak for ten years and knew all the details of this trip and the laws of spirit beast transformation.

It took quite a bit of time to tell everything without reservation at this moment.

Chen Ping nodded repeatedly as he listened, inwardly sighing, "As expected of professionals from Spirit Beast Peak, they are indeed very professional."

Before long, it got dark.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ping took out a storage ring and tossed it to Qin Mengyao.

"You spoke very well; this is your payment."

Qin Mengyao took it and saw that the storage ring contained five thousand top-grade spirit stones. She was shocked and quickly waved her hand to decline.

It's just a small favor; there's no need for so many spirit stones.

"Senior brother, there's no need for so much. Besides, this senior brother has already given me payment."

Chen Ping waved his hand, these spirit stones were useless to him, and would just sit idle on his person.

Seeing this, Yuan Xing quickly said, "Just accept it."

Qin Mengyao was taken aback and stopped refusing. She bowed to Chen Ping with gratitude on her face.

"Thank you, senior brother. I'll take my leave now."

In the ten years since Qin Mengyao came to the Primordial Holy Land, she had never been as happy as she was today, and she left the courtyard with cheerful steps.

Only Chen Ping and Yuan Xing remained in the courtyard.

Yuan Xing, still all smiles, stood respectfully in front of Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked at Yuan Xing and smiled faintly: "You're quite efficient, not bad, not bad."

"It's what I should do, and it's my honor to serve my seniors," Yuan Xing quickly replied.

"Don't call me senior, just call me senior brother in the holy land."

"Yes, senior brother."

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Primordial Holy Land spent a month assigning all the newly recruited disciples to various miscellaneous service peaks.

There are three thousand peaks in the outer sect, of which no less than a thousand are miscellaneous service peaks. The disciples on these peaks are mostly responsible for various miscellaneous tasks on weekdays, which are hard work. They can only find time to cultivate in their spare time.

"Have you heard? Senior Sister Gu Lianxin of Jade Profound Peak recently defeated the powerhouse ranked ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Ranking and has now become the new Heavenly Ranking Prodigy!"

The entire Primordial Holy Land has been swept up by this news recently.

The reason everyone was so shocked was that the Heavenly Ranking had not changed for a full ten years.

The experts on the Heavenly Ranking are among the most outstanding in the Holy Land, regardless of their talent, background, or cultivation speed.

Over time, this led to a situation where the strong got stronger and the weak got weaker, and the rankings on the Heavenly Ranking became almost fixed.

Gu Lianxin's successful defeat of the 99th ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking is enough to shake the entire Primordial Holy Land.

Core disciples are already considered geniuses in the Primordial Holy Land, and those who can enter the Heavenly Ranking are geniuses among geniuses, prodigies among prodigies.

On a mountaintop arena, the noise of the crowd was deafening.

Gu Lianxin stood in the center of the arena, full of vigor and confidence.

Today she defeated the 99th person on the Heavenly Ranking and successfully entered the Heavenly Ranking, ranking 99th.

Even if it's just the lowest ranking, it's something to be proud of.

Of the hundreds of millions of people in the Southern Divine Continent, only a few hundred thousand can enter the Primordial Holy Land, and only a few thousand can become core disciples.

Only ninety-nine people can make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, so you can imagine how prestigious it is.

Even in the entire Southern Divine Continent, he can be considered a top genius.

Xie Yu'er looked at Gu Lianxin with great excitement. As Gu Lianxin's follower, she was bound to her fate, sharing both glory and loss.

It is her honor to be a follower of the strong, and she is now enjoying this glory and honor together.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Originally, Gu Lianxin and Xie Yu'er were on their way to find Chen Ping, who had stolen the Qingqiu Fox, but they encountered a powerful figure ranked ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Ranking along the way, and the two immediately made a duel agreement.

This battle lasted for a month, and the two, whose strengths were roughly equal, finally decided the winner today.

Thinking of the Qingqiu Fox, Gu Lianxin frowned again. She wanted to see who it was.

They dared to steal her spirit fox, who was ranked ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Ranking.
