Chapter 20: Famous Tales and Legends of the Immortal Ladder

"To come rushing over like this, couldn't it be that something is troubling you and you need your master's help"Lin Qi also disregarded her face, hugging Qing Yun Zhenjun's arm and starting to act co...[]

"Ahem, this time in the sect's grand election, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Senior Sister Tan Yueqing!"

"Five hours to reach the summit, and surpassing the second place by a full fifty levels! In the end, it was contested between Ting Han Zhenjun of Lu Bing Peak and Xiu Yue Zhenjun of Can Jian Peak. Truly a solitary triumph, leaving us all in awe!"

Tan Yueqing

Lin Qi thought of the girl in white clothes she had seen on the Immortal Ladder.

At that time, Lin Qi saw her as an imaginary competitor, giving herself motivation.

She was the first to climb Mount Xianti.

So her name is Tan Yueqing

"So, which peak did she end up entering" Luo Ci's clear voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

All of a sudden, being stared at by so many people, his pale cheeks began to flush again.

He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a coherent word.

"I... I, am just a little curious."

She looks like a shy little girl.

The hand under the table kept tugging at Lin Qi's sleeve, pleading for help.

Lin Qi only realized later, her third junior brother seemed to be a bit of a social phobic

Lin Qi nodded slowly, and chimed in with him, "I'm curious too."

People who love to gossip thrive on receiving feedback.

The little girl with big eyes spoke more and more intensely.

"Senior Sister Tan is an excellent Ice Spirit Root. She has already become a disciple of Listening Cold True Monarch at Lu Bingfeng, according to rumors, she entered Qi on the first day she became a disciple, and now she's probably already in the first stage of Qi Refining."

The little girls next to him exclaimed one after another, “Wow, that’s amazing!”

Lin Qi also followed suit and praised, “It’s really amazing!”

Someone then asked in confusion, "Who came in second place"

"Need I say more It's the twins from the Lu family, of course!"

Lu Lingfeng and Lu Lingyu were dragon and phoenix twins. They came from the Lu family, one of the five prominent families in Nanzhou. The Lu family's Residual Snow Sword Technique and Residual Sword Peak were passed down through the same lineage. They came to Tianyizong for the Residual Sword Peak, and both ascending to the top at the same time was quite a show.

Someone immediately objected and retorted.

"As for taking the lead, it has to be Zhao Qishi, our senior sister from Beizhou!"

She was quite imposing that day on the stairway to heaven, a fiery red spear in her hand. If she hadn't been tricked, she might have competed with the Lu siblings for second place.

"That's right! It is said that Senior Sister Zhao Qi has the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix within her, with a fire spirit root deeply rooted close to ten. Once she takes the Washing Spirit Pill in the future, there's a good chance she'll become an exceptional fire spirit root cultivator. Compared to the Lu siblings, Senior Sister Zhao is even more gifted!"

"Hmph, even with the Lu siblings working together, their swords forming a formidable duo, they won't be any less powerful than Master Zhao Qi."

"Yes, yes, yes. The sword cultivators of Càn Jiàn Fēng are exceptionally skilled, always able to take on two opponents at once and challenge higher levels without hesitation. How could we simply conclude based solely on spiritual root value!"

A group of people argued about who was more powerful, Lu Jia's twins or Zhao Qi, their senior sister, which provided Lin Qi with a lot of useful information.

In the end, it was still the girl with big eyes who reached out to comfort the crowd.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. If you want to know who's better, wait for the sect competition in six months. Everything will be clear then."

Sect Grand Competition

Lin Qi, who was diligently eating his meal, paused. His interest was instantly piqued.

But she didn't directly ask.

The little sisters around probably had average skill levels. They were only there for the excitement of the sect competition and soon started complaining about their trivial matters.

After Lin Qi finished eating, he pulled Luo Ci away.

On her way to the office, she leisurely opened her mouth and said: "Did you hear that, junior brother"

"The Grand Sect Competition, this is your chance to surpass your senior sister me. Go back and remember to cultivate diligently."

Luo Ci seemed to be lost in thought, but at Lin Qi's reminder, she straightened her back instantly.

"Don't worry, senior sister. I will definitely not lose to you!"

Lin Qi nodded leisurely, "Rest assured, Senior Sister won't go easy on you."

The Sect Affairs Hall is a place with many functions. It handles buying and selling, task assignments, and information dissemination.

Lin Qi and Luo Ci stepped inside and were immediately dazzled by the myriad spells on display.

Task Hall's simulated forms of demonic beasts, immersive combat scene imagery, and breathtakingly beautiful terrain hiding deadly traps;

The hall was filled with shimmering reflections of items on display, accompanied by ethereal explanations. Precious artifacts were magnified and projected, casting a radiant glow throughout the space.

Lin Qi and Luo Ci were like country bumpkins entering the city for the first time, their eyes wide with wonder and mouths agape.

The Transaction Hall is the largest trading hub in the sect, but instead of using spirit stones for transactions, it uses contribution points.

Lin Qi glanced at the contribution points of these things, and immediately closed his mouth.

She nudged Luo Ci beside her, "Brother-disciple, even though you come from the prestigious Luo family of Nanzhou, why are you acting so surprised"

Luo Ci glanced at Lin Qi with disdain.

"Aristocratic families need to support their entire clan, even the five great families of Nan Zhou. How can they compare to a sect"

Lin Qiyi fell silent, as if revealing the fact that she lacked common sense.

She still thought that the so-called Five Great Families could challenge a sect.

After this incident, Lin Qi realized the lack of common sense she possessed.

Whether it's the original Xiaolin Qi or the current Lin Qi, they are a proper "illiterate". When they should speak less, they should still speak less, lest any wrong word be spoken and arouse suspicion.

"Fortunately, Lin Qi had thick skin and calmly said, "Junior brother knows so much. It's unlike senior sister who comes from a small place and doesn't know anything."

When Lu Ci heard about the incident at the small place, she recalled how she had looked down on Lin Qi in her own courtyard. Her heart felt a little uneasy, and she immediately withdrew her gaze.

New disciples who first arrive at the sect will all have a certain number of contribution points.

There are ten outer disciples, forty inner disciples, and one hundred direct disciples.

Lin Qi learned from Yuan Xi, her senior sister, that although they were nominally direct disciples, in reality, they received the benefits of inner sect disciples from the sect.

But in fact, Zhong Lei Feng will make up the difference alone.

Because Qingyun Zhenjun said that her privately set examinations should not affect the disciples' cultivation resources.

Therefore, Lin Qi now has one hundred contribution points in hand.

She previously thought that 100 contribution points wasn't a small amount, but when she saw the jade pendants hanging in the trading hall, she realized she could only buy a lowest-level magic weapon.

Lin Qi fell silent instantly.

She tentatively asked the handyman disciple, "Are things in the trading hall truly not purchasable with Spirit Stones"

The errand boy has probably been asked many times already, and he answered very firmly: "No!"

After finishing, his eyes gleamed brightly as he stared at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi could only honestly follow the rules.

She bought everything on the shopping list provided by her senior sister.

Most of them are pills and talismans for warmth and cold resistance, along with three hammers and a long nail.

One hundred points of contribution, not too many or too few, just enough to spend them all.

Lin Qi looked at the bill and deeply felt Yuan Xi's thoughtfulness!

But if you let her buy it herself, the sheer number of hammer models would be enough to overwhelm her, let alone figuring out how to reasonably distribute these 100 contribution points.

Luo Ci just finished picking out everything she wanted and saw Lin Qi holding a bulging bag. She asked in confusion, "What are you buying all these things for".She chose one of the smooth paths and walked forward, her goal fixed on the finish line.Crossing three paths, I suddenly caught a few familiar scents.A few steps forward, and the field of vision sudd...
