Chapter 206: Li Jiaqi in the Cultivation World
Just by observing their subtle attack habits during the fight, Jia Yin could sense that something was off. It's no wonder he's known as the top talent in the demon realm, always ready for a fight or on his way to one!
Hold on...hold on! Don't panic!
Ignoring the view of the back of her head, Qiao Wan, with all her focus, continued to deal with Pei Chunzheng. Pei Chunzheng had once transformed into a half-step Golden Core demon body for Mu Xiaoxiao. Qiao Wan might not be able to defeat him, but now their strengths were almost equal. Plus, the young boy suddenly had a change in expression and seemed distracted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Wan used her inner energy and pressed a page of a book against the boy's fair neck.
Just one step more, and she could cut off his airway.
The surge of energy lifted a strand of hair on his cheek, bringing Pei Chunzheng back to his senses. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he looked at Lu Cixian with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
The young boy smiled with his hands in his pockets and said, "Pei, you lost."
Pei Chunzheng's face instantly turned as black as a coal ball.
He stared coldly at Lu Cixian for a long time, then expressionlessly slapped away the book page in front of his neck.
Lu Cixian turned his head slightly.
The book page narrowly passed by his neck, avoiding a tragic throat-cutting scene with blood splattering everywhere.
He had guessed wrong.
Pei Chunzheng pressed his thin lips tightly and wiped away the trace of blood from his face, icy and frosty.
It wasn't Cen Qingyou, nor was it Demon Emperor Jia Yin, but it was Lu Cixian.
Lu Cixian didn't seem angry at all. From the beginning to the end, he had a confident and composed demeanor.
As the sparring match came to an end, the disciples of Kunshan who were watching couldn't snap back to reality for a while, still shocked and amazed by the exquisite martial arts.
However, the boy smirked and walked over to Qiao Wan's side, saying, "Won't you wipe it off for me?"
The group of Kunshan disciples, who had just regained their senses, stood there in a state of bewilderment.
Qiao Wan couldn't believe her eyes. Is that really her Taoist friend?!
Qi Feidao leaned closer and smiled mysteriously, "It's been a while, little Taoist friend Lu, and you have made great progress in your cultivation."
From then on, their story took a different turn.
Just like many students in a different world, Qiao Wan took out a jade slip and started to browse through it carelessly.
After not checking the posts on the jade slip for a few days, she had no idea what kind of rumors were spreading on it. Gan Nan, on the other hand, sneakily read the jade slip below. But unlike the experienced Qiao Wan, the young man blushed and felt anxious as he read. Despite that, he still secretly passed on messages to her.
According to Gan Nan, there were many rumors about her on the jade slip in the past few days.
Little Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger. "What kind of rumors?"
"Basically, they say that you are actually connected to the demon realm, and your jump from Taixu Peak was just a performance for everyone to see. In reality..." he trailed off.
Speaking of this, Gan Nan paused for a moment, quietly glancing at Qiao Wan to gauge her reaction. After confirming that Qiao Wan had no strong emotional fluctuations, he continued hesitantly.
"In fact, I was ordered by the demon realm... instructed to infiltrate Kunshan and gather intelligence to report back to the demon realm."
"And I heard that your rapid progress in cultivation is also due to practicing forbidden techniques from the demon realm."
Witnessing the younger generation secretly slacking off during class, Jun Caiwei couldn't help but roll his eyes at the lack of decorum. He marveled at their ability to come up with such imaginative scenarios. How come he was unaware of the fact that the demon realm instructed Qiao Wan to go undercover?
The innocent little white dragon became anxious once again, anxiously asking, "So now... what should we do?"
"In one sentence," Qiao Wan said calmly.
With just one sentence, she could temporarily alleviate this crisis.
Gan Nan was taken aback. "Wha... What?"
Jun Caiwei paused as he fanned himself and glanced at Qiao Wan: "Hmm?"
Little Qiao needs to work hard to become stronger: "I will make a post, saying that I know how to quickly improve one's cultivation. As long as they come to me, I will share all my knowledge."
Honorable people value honor, while unscrupulous folks value personal gains.
By using this method to clarify that her cultivation has nothing to do with the demon realm, Qiao Wan might be able to silence the rumors and gossip. It could be a good solution.
However, without even blinking, Jun Caiwei immediately noticed the flaws in this plan.
Jun Caiwei decisively pointed out the loopholes: "Brother Niu, this could be a good plan, but the flaws are obvious."
Qiao Wan pondered for a moment: "That's what I want to do."
Jun Caiwei lightly tapped his palm with the folding fan, his gaze seemingly indifferent but revealing a reflection of a person.
A hundred years ago, that man had cold and stern features, wearing armor and leading battles in all directions for the demon realm.
Later.in front of them had a pair of glasses that looked silly, his eyes sharp and filled with wisdom, and he hadn't shaved his beard clean under his chin.
Qiao Wan said to Xiaoxiao , "Jun, my taoist friend, you wait here."
Jun Caiwei , who had always looked down on people, suddenly felt a subtle and complex emotion stirring within him, and he began to have some doubts in his heart.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he let out a barely noticeable cold snort.
He was actually a bit curious about what Qiao Wan could do.
As soon as the first class ended, Qiao Wan immediately picked up her book, propped herself on the windowsill with one hand, and flipped through the pages. She typed on the jade slip, making a tapping sound, as she briskly walked forward.
"How I, Qiao Wan , managed to achieve the Golden Pill in just forty years."
Qiao Wan addressed the venerable elders and beloved fellow practitioners, saying, "Good morning, everyone. Good morning to you all."
"Fellow practitioners, do you still remember the joyful and excited feelings when we first entered the Kunshan gate with our burdens? From that moment on, our little boats of life set sail, taking us towards the endless ocean of knowledge!"
Fellow practitioners,
When basking in the morning sun of Kunshan, have you ever wondered about this question?
Life is like a fleeting moment, passing by in the blink of an eye. Even cultivators cannot escape the fate of turning into yellow earth after a hundred years. Have you ever thought about the kind of life you want to live, the kind of person you want to become?
The taoist friend Gorky once said, "Genius comes from diligence."
Then, Qiao Wan recalled her arduous journey of struggle, from being belittled and underestimated at the beginning, to successfully forming a golden core after forty years. She wrote about this with great passion, as if it were an inspiring story of a high school student's comeback in the world of cultivation.
In the end, she concluded that forming a golden core in forty years is not impossible!
Life is not just about the hardships we face in front of us, but also about poetry and distant places.
My study method may not be suitable for everyone, but I hope it can bring a little help to taoist friends who are still struggling.
What are you waiting for? I'm waiting for you below Yunyan Cliff! No need for 998 or 888, just 28 low-grade spirit stones. Take the cultivation secret back home!
Yunyan Cliff is like a flea market for Kunshan disciples, with a lot of people always coming and going.
After finishing this emotionally moving perfect essay, Qiao Wan chose to send it and then walked around Yunyan Cliff a few times. She found a place to sit down and patiently waited for the response on the jade scroll.
A noble person values righteousness, while a petty person values profit.
She couldn't guarantee if she could silence the critics driven by their own interests. As for the loophole suggested by Jun Caiwei , she still had control over it for now.
Of course, she wasn't just doing charity.
She...
The girl silently clenched her fist.
She had a great goal as well!
With high traffic, this post immediately rose to the top of the rankings.
In these days, rumors were spreading like wildfire on the jade scroll.
Qiao Wan remained silent. The disciples of Kunshan were still waiting for the main character to make a declaration.
Once this emotional and vivid short essay was sent, it immediately confused the other disciples from Kunshan.
Achieving the Golden Pill in just forty years? The secret of cultivation revealed so openly?!
Cultivation is a matter that deeply concerns one's own well-being, even lifespan. It must be said that this short essay has captured everyone's attention.
- Achieving the Golden Pill in forty years? Is Taoist Friend Qiao serious?
- There are no shortcuts in cultivation. It's absurd.
- Does any taoist friend want to go to Yunyan Cliff to get some information? Keeping an eye on it.
- Count me in.
- Me too.
Seeing that there were many skeptics and onlookers, Qiao Wan remained calm and unaffected.
Sure enough, after a while, a few outer disciples nervously approached.
"Tao...taoist friend, are you really willing to sell this cultivation method?"
The outer disciples glanced anxiously at the serious and aloof young woman.
The cultivation method is usually kept secret between sects and rarely ever sold.
Qiao Wan, with a polite smile on her face, said to her taoist friend, "Don't worry, I know you are aware of my abilities. I have worked hard to achieve my current level of cultivation. Along the way, I have experienced the difficulties of practicing and the ups and downs of relationships. As fellow practitioners, we should support each other. I don't want to see my fellow taoists take unnecessary detours, so I thought of sharing some tips and techniques from my own practice. I hope you won't find it too bothersome."
Her words, like a convincing sales pitch, left the disciples speechless, "Can cultivation techniques really be sold?"
Qiao Wan continued to smile, "Just like how the Eight Treasures Pavilion sells Souvenir Jade Balls, I can also sell my cultivation techniques."
The girl smiled and enthusiastically recommended, "How about it? Not for 998, not for 888, but only for 28, taoist friend? Do you want to give it a try?"
After a pause, she imitated Li Jiaqi and exclaimed, "OMG! Buy it, buy it!!"
Just heard from Xiao Sanlang , it seemed that the rumors spread by Xiao Sui didn't affect Qiao Wan . Xiao Huan lazily smiled and asked, "What was her reaction?"
"Well..." Xiao Sanlang hesitated for a moment and reluctantly took out a jade slip, "She just made a post."
Thinking about the emotional content of the small composition on the jade slip, Xiao Sanlang gazed into the distance.
Oh, young master! It seems like our rumors didn't have much effect!! Qiao Wan seized the opportunity and started selling goods when everyone's attention was on her!!
She started selling!! Can you believe it?!!
Xiao Huan calmly leaned back on the bed and asked with a smile, "Sanlang, read it to me."
Xiao Sanlang held the jade slip, his mouth twitching.
Um... I really can't read this!! What kind of strange writing style is this?! But upon closer inspection, it seems... somewhat exciting?
Xiao Sanlang, who had never experienced the wonders of inspirational literature, glanced at the jade scroll in front of him fervently. To his own embarrassment, he felt a surge of excitement, even to the point of wanting to buy a training method to practice.
As Xiao Sanlang, with a blank expression, finished reciting the emotionally charged piece of writing, Xiao Huan's unchanging elegant smile faltered slightly, a rare moment of hesitation.
"Qiao Wan, what is she...?" Xiao Sanlang couldn't hold back any longer and asked, in a somewhat miserable tone, "Young Master, are you interested in Qiao Wan?"
To be honest, having been chosen since childhood to serve by Xiao Huan's side, Xiao Sanlang may not claim to fully understand Xiao Huan, but his understanding of him far surpassed others.
Contrary to what others believed, Xiao Sanlang knew deep down that Xiao Huan had no interest in Mu Xiaoxiao.
No matter how poised and elegant the young master appeared, Xiao Sanlang thought, there was something hidden deep within his heart.
The person was born noble, and he grew up with Xiao Huan since they were young. He was as pure and bright as the moon, dressed in luxurious clothes, with pearl-like coral in his hair, making him look like a fairy from the heavens.
Unfortunately, he was naturally cold and arrogant, always focused on cultivation, with victory being the only goal she couldn't do without. This resulted in Xiao Huan being trapped in a painful and unspoken love.
Actually, Xiao Sanlang thought that the other person might not have any feelings for Xiao Huan either. It's just that she is notorious for detesting the restrictions and traditions of noble families. She fears losing her freedom and independence, and has even had conflicts with her family.
Life is precious, and love is even more valuable. If it's for the sake of freedom, both can be abandoned.
Hmm.
That's pretty much the situation.
