After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 53: Foundation Building Competition (2)
Zhao Yuexi's magic weapon was a silver whip. When the whip was swung at her, Pei Yun could feel a powerful momentum accompanied by a vortex of water realm attacking her. Every time she swung the whip, a water vortex would be generated, spinning rapidly in Pei Yun's direction...
Without saying a word, Pei Yun used the Realm of Space to avoid one whirlpool after another. Her steps were so fast that people could only catch a glimpse of her afterimage.
Her Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique also burst out with power at this moment, and the golden sword light penetrated the vortex and continuously attacked the opponent.
Although the attack had not yet reached her, Zhao Yuexi could already feel the threat brought by the sharp sword light. She changed her mind and the silver whip in her hand turned into a second form - a silver ring. The silver ring floated in front of her and immediately transformed into a blue circular water shield to resist the opponent's attack for her.
At the same time, those small whirlpools gradually merged together to form a huge whirlpool, which attacked Pei Yun with faster speed and destructive power.
At this moment, Pei Yun raised her hand and held the sword in front of her. She closed her eyes and recalled the scene of Luo Rufeng performing the Nine Mysterious Golden Sword Technique. The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the dazzling light emitted by the Golden Sword shone in her eyes. The nine golden swords formed a circle and attacked Zhao Yuexi.
The moment the golden sword passed through the vortex, the vortex collapsed and dissipated instantly. Then the golden sword continued to attack and collided with the water shield in the air. Both sides continued to inject spiritual power.
However, after a moment's stalemate, Zhao Yuexi could no longer maintain his spiritual power and could only admit defeat.
"Junior Sister Pei, I was quite proud of myself for making it to the finals with my cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building. But now that I have met a genius like you, I know that there are always better mountains..."
"Pei Yun is ashamed and dares not accept the praise from Senior Sister Zhao..."
Zhao Yuexi was now convinced of Pei Yun's strength. She smiled and chatted with Pei Yun for a while, and then they each prepared for the next competition.
The disciples watching the competition couldn't help but sigh. Even Zhao Yuexi lost. It seemed that no one among the disciples in the middle stage of foundation building could compare to Pei Yun!
Pei Yun's heart was filled with joy. Her Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique had finally been perfected. The ultimate move of the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique was the Nine Swords Formation.
Not far away, two female disciples from Qingqi Peak sat on the viewing platform, staring straight at Pei Yun.
"Big sister, this is the disciple that Reverend Rufeng personally protects. His name is Pei Yun."
"Oh..." Li Lanlan looked at Pei Yun expressionlessly, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "There's nothing special about Pei Yun. Maybe Senior Brother Rufeng happened to pass by and saved this disciple..."
"Compared to Senior Sister, Pei Yun is nothing!" Zhang Lu flattered Li Lanlan beside her with a flattering look on her face, "Senior Sister, don't worry, she and I will have a competition soon, and then I will teach her a lesson. Reverend Rufeng has a high status and powerful strength. How can an ordinary disciple of Pingzhu Peak like her cling to him..."
……
The next day, Pei Yun was about to have the last competition of the day. She stood on the stage and was about to salute.
The blue-clothed woman opposite him crossed her arms and said with disdain, "You are a foundation-building disciple. Instead of cultivating properly, you are thinking of clinging to Venerable Rufeng. You are spreading rumors in the sect that you have a close relationship with Venerable Rufeng. Aren't you afraid that Venerable Rufeng will question you for spreading rumors after he finds out..."
Pei Yun looked at her in confusion at first, but when he came to his senses, he finally understood what she meant.
This person actually thought that it was she who spread the rumor that he and Luo Rufeng were close, and allowed it to spread in the sect? !
It was ridiculous! What good would it do for her to do this! Besides, what did her relationship with Luo Rufeng have to do with the man in front of her? Why did she need to be so condescending and accuse herself?
"Who are you? You want to meddle in the affairs between me and Venerable Rufeng? Do I know you? Does Venerable Rufeng know you?"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples surrounding the arena laughed out loud, and some people even shouted:
"Yes! Who are you? Does Venerable Rufeng know you? You are just being too conceited!"
The disciples of Qingqi Peak had originally come to support Zhang Lu, but now they just felt ashamed that a good competition had turned into gossip.
Li Lanlan stood quietly below, half-closed her eyes and looked at Pei Yun seriously.
"You...you didn't know how to appreciate my kind reminder!" Zhang Lu looked embarrassed.
"I don't even know you, why do I need you to remind me, are you here to compete, or to teach others a lesson..."
Zhang Lu became furious and attacked Pei Yun without saying a word. This woman's palm technique made light work of heavy objects. Every palm attack in front of her was like a mountain pressing down on her head, making her feel as if she could not breathe.
This woman's strength was beyond Pei Yun's expectations, but it was also reasonable. It was impossible for someone to be in the top 120 without strength, but strength does not represent character.
She also used her Wind-Fixing Palm. Her palms collided fiercely again and again, and her spiritual power spread everywhere. The remaining power hit the transparent protective barrier around her, causing ripples...
Zhang Lu's expression had become serious at this moment. She had not expected Pei Yun to be so difficult to deal with, and now Pei Yun was using palm techniques, but she had been secretly observing Pei Yun's fights these days and knew that she was not only good at palm techniques, but also swordsmanship and fire spells. If this continued, she would surely lose.
She had wanted to save her magic weapon as a trump card for later use, but now she had no choice but to take it out. If she lost to Pei Yun, the senior sister would definitely not look at her well.
Pei Yun had already seen through Zhang Lu's flaw. The earth realm contained in her palm technique was indeed very high, but the weakness of her palm technique was that it was difficult for the body to move quickly to dodge, and she would definitely lose in close combat. She found the right time to use the realm of space to force her close to her and make her admit defeat.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Lu took out a flower-shaped magic weapon. The moment the spiritual power was injected, the flower slowly blossomed, emitting a hazy pink light. In a few breaths, it completely spread and surrounded Pei Yun's whole body...
Pei Yun felt his movements slow down, and his originally clear mind became drowsy for a moment. This turned out to be a magical weapon that could attack the spiritual consciousness. It was really rare!
However, Pei Yun had practiced a spiritual power called Xu Ge. Xu Ge was firmly stationed in her sea of consciousness, emitting a faint golden light. The pink light dissipated instantly as soon as it touched Xu Ge in the sea of consciousness.
The moment her eyes regained clarity, she saw Zhang Lu's palm approaching. She used the Wind-Fixing Palm to attack it, and at the same time, she flashed in front of Zhang Lu, holding the Golden Sword against her neck.
Without Zhang Lu saying anything, the elder who judged the case said, "Pei Yun from Pingzhu Peak wins."
Zhang Lu snorted angrily and walked off the stage. Li Lanlan glanced at her coldly, which made her shudder. The disciples of Qingqi Peak did not expect such a result, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while.
"Did you see clearly what magical weapon the disciple from Qingqi Peak used just now?"
"Is it an illusion? I think that magic weapon is not very good. It will definitely have no effect on Pei Yun..."
"...The Qingqi Peak is very arrogant because it ranked in the top 100 in the last foundation building competition and has the second largest number of disciples after the main peak. But now the disciples in the peak have lost to the disciples of Pingzhu Peak. Ha! I don't know what they have to be proud of..."
"Don't say that. Senior Brother Gu Yuan, who ranked sixth last time and later rose to first, is still very powerful..."
"Let's wait and see. With Senior Brother Luo Qi here this time, it's still a question whether he can keep the first place..."
The people below the stage looked at the disciples of Qingqi Peak with different expressions and whispered to each other...
Pei Yun walked off the stage, not wanting to pay attention to Zhang Lu. He was about to leave when Li Lanlan suddenly spoke up: "As far as I know, Senior Brother Rufeng usually lives in Lingjian Peak. Apart from his disciples, he rarely comes into contact with other disciples of the sect. Just because he saved you once by chance, you spread rumors that you have a close relationship with him. If Senior Brother Rufeng knew about this, what do you think he would do?"
Hearing this, Pei Yun, who was passing by her, looked around and asked inexplicably, "Are you talking to me?" She had never seen the blue-clothed woman and Zhang Lu before, and she had never had any contact with the disciples of Qingqi Peak. Why could they say these words to her in such a condescending manner? It was simply inexplicable!
"What are you thinking? Are you afraid to admit it?" Li Lanlan turned around and looked at Pei Yun with a sneer in her eyes.
Pei Yun was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to retort, a voice interrupted him: "Junior Sister Pei, I finally found you. My parents miss you a lot. My master also asked me to invite you to Lingjian Peak for a gathering after the competition today..."
Luo Qi walked out of the crowd with his hands behind his back, and the disciples around him who were watching the fun and gossip took the initiative to make way for him.
"Senior Brother Luo." Pei Yun saluted.
"Luo Qi!" Li Lanlan also heard Luo Qi's words. She understood that Luo Qi was deliberately slapping her in the face again!
But she was really shocked! She originally thought that Luo Rufeng didn't know Pei Yun and just saved him by chance, but she didn't expect that they really knew each other. How could this be possible! How could this be! She and Luo Rufeng entered the sect together, and she had never seen Luo Rufeng have any contact with any woman in the sect. How could Luo Rufeng, who was so indifferent,...
Li Lanlan pinched her palms and forced a smile on her face: "Luo Qi, is this Pei Yun your good friend?" It must be like this, Pei Yun was able to come into contact with Luo Rufeng only because of Luo Qi.
"This... Senior Sister, who are you? Do I know you? Or... does my master know you?" Luo Qi asked three questions in a row, making Li Lanlan's face completely gloomy.
"...Of course your master knows me. Your master and I entered the sect at the same time. We have explored secret realms together. Your master also saved me..."
"Oh... is that so? But I have never heard my master mention his uncle. After all, my master has saved so many people, he can't remember all their names..." Luo Qi shrugged disapprovingly. There was nothing he could do. His master had too many admirers, and he was too experienced in dealing with these self-indulgent people.
"You..." Li Lanlan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Junior Sister Pei, let's go." Luo Qi winked at Pei Yun. As the two were about to leave, another group of people came up to them.
"Brother Gu Yuan is here. The two most popular candidates for this foundation building competition are actually meeting each other!"
"The competition between the two of them must be put on the last round. It will be a good show to watch then..."
Everyone looked at Luo Qi and Gu Yuan standing face to face with excitement, and the discussions around them quieted down for a moment.
"Luo Qi, you are staying under the arena where my disciples from Qingqi Peak are competing. Are you here to watch my disciples make fun of you?"
"Does it say on this stage that I, Luo Qi, am not allowed to come and watch?" As Gu Yuan was competing opposite him, Luo Qi smiled calmly, "There is one more thing I hope Brother Gu understands. Losing a competition will not make people laugh at you, but a person's low moral character and self-conceit are what people really look down upon..."
"Who are you targeting?" Zhang Lu rushed out and said excitedly.
"Whoever jumps out in a hurry is the one who confesses himself!"
"You! Don't think that you are truly extraordinary just because you have Venerable Rufeng backing you up. Senior Brother Gu will definitely beat you in this competition..."
"Luo Qi, if we fight, I will make you pay!" Gu Yuan half-closed his eyes and clenched his fists quietly with his hanging hands.
"Then let's wait and see." Luo Qi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, then turned his head and glanced at Pei Yun, and the two turned and left.
On the way to Lingjian Peak, Pei Yun asked curiously, "Is the Gu Yuan just now the disciple who ranked first in the last Foundation Building Competition?"
“To be precise, he is ranked sixth, but the top five have all advanced to the Golden Core stage, so now you know why he hasn’t made a breakthrough after five years…” Luo Qi shook his head. He always had a sharp tongue.
Pei Yun understood the hidden meaning in Luo Qi's words as soon as he heard them. This Senior Brother Gu Yuan was too concerned about gain and loss, and was blinded by the vain title of being the number one foundation-building disciple. Just because he heard everyone praising Luo Qi as one of the biggest favorites to win the championship, he couldn't wait to come and provoke him. This mentality and vision are indeed difficult to break through.
After having a sumptuous dinner at Lingjian Peak, Pei Yun prepared to return to Pingzhu Peak. Luo Rufeng personally sent her down the mountain with a lantern. The two walked along the slowly flowing stream all the way down the mountain, in silence, and both sides were reluctant to interrupt this quiet and warm moment together.
They walked all the way down the mountain before Luo Rufeng handed her the lantern and said gently, "Pei Yun, you don't have to worry about the rumors in the sect. Just focus on the competition. If anyone causes trouble for you, you can come find me..."
As he spoke, he handed her the white jade tied around his waist and said, "If anyone in the sect causes you trouble, you can show this jade token, and it can also open the barrier of Lingjian Peak. You can come to find me anytime..."
Pei Yun took the jade token with one hand, raised his head and stared at him without blinking, he felt his heart suddenly beat faster, and a hint of sweetness inexplicably passed through his heart...
"...Thank you, Your Excellency." The two looked at each other for a moment, then unconsciously looked away, and the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Go back to Pingzhu Peak and be careful." Luo Rufeng clenched his fist and placed it to his lips and coughed slightly.
"Yes." Before leaving, Pei Yun raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Rufeng in front of him, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing his good mood at the moment.
Pei Yun walked a few steps and couldn't help but turn around. She saw Luo Rufeng standing there with his hands behind his back, dressed in white. A rare smile appeared on his handsome face. He watched her leave.
"Good night, Your Excellency." Pei Yun waved at him with a bright smile.
"Good night, Pei Yun." Luo Rufeng responded softly, and a slightly doting smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes as he looked at her.
