Chapter 59 Studying the Opponent There is only one day left before the Taoist competition in the world of immortal cultivation. The disciples in the three stages of cultivation, namely, Jindan foundation building and Qi refining, have been divided into groups, and only the last day is left for the draw to decide the opponents. Everyone was ready for the competition, thinking they could just wait for tomorrow's game. But in the afternoon of that last day, an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly appeared above the sword. The sect disciples who noticed something was wrong came closer to take a look, and then... nothing happened. After a brief spiritual energy turmoil, a huge spiritual energy vortex gradually formed in the sky. With such a big commotion, those who didn't know might have thought that one of the disciples had advanced to the Jindan stage. However, as a result, if everyone paid a little attention, they could find that the aura of spiritual energy fluctuations and the celestial phenomena of advancement were not something that a Jindan disciple could experience, but belonged to a foundation-building disciple! Whose foundation-building disciple could cause such a big commotion! Looking at the situation, there is only one possibility, that person has built a perfect foundation! During the Taoist Competition, the Wan Dao Sect gathered a large number of disciples from other sects. The big commotion here also attracted many people to join in the fun. "Who else could be building a foundation at Zhijian Peak? There are only three people at Zhijian Peak right now, and only one has not built a foundation yet. You don't even need to guess, it must be that little girl named Zhou Ling. I didn't expect that the big competition is about to start, and she suddenly built a foundation at this critical moment. What's going on? She didn't stay in the Qi Refining Stage, and she ran away to cheat us in the Foundation Building Group?" In fact, everyone envies the perfect foundation-building method, but there are many who envy and are jealous, and many people start to speak sourly on the spot. "Oh my god, who can't eat grapes here? It's so funny. If you can do it, go ahead. Don't you look at your own qualifications? What's the qualifications of my Junior Sister Zhou? There is a big gap in talent. Only later efforts can make up for it. Not only has she made up for the progress of cultivation, but she has also achieved a perfect foundation with her understanding and strength. Unlike some people, who seem to have red eye disease and can't stand seeing others doing well, they even try to make trouble for them. It's so funny. My Junior Sister Zhou is a sword cultivator. With the strength of foundation building, she can still fight against Jindan. You who are just in the middle and late stages of foundation building, are you worthy of her trying to make trouble for me?"
Xu Wan crossed her arms over her chest, standing on her flying magic weapon and floating in the air, her chin almost raised to the sky. When it comes to arguing with people and yin and yang, she has only lost to Zhou Ling. Besides, she has the strength and background, so she is not afraid of offending people. When she meets someone she doesn't like, she will just argue with them. "Bah! In the face of true strength, it is a joke for sword cultivators to fight against opponents of higher ranks! It is true that there is such a rumor, but how many sword cultivators can really fight against opponents of higher ranks? Most of them are just ordinary cultivators with mediocre strength. Some people really take the people from their own sect seriously. Zhou Ling, this little girl, don't think that she can perfectly inherit Uncle Long's legacy just because she becomes his disciple. With only five spiritual roots, what can she do no matter how hard she works? Now she can advance to the foundation-building stage by chance, but what about the Jindan stage? What about the Yuanying stage? Can she be so lucky? Relying on the high reputation of her master, she is so wanton that she dares to advance to the foundation-building stage the day before the competition. Isn't this just a scam? As long as she gets on the stage and uses her real ability to speak, the result will be clear!" "Yes, once we get to the ring, we'll know the outcome." There were too many people here, so Xu Wan couldn't continue to argue, so she could only sneer, seemingly agreeing with him. There was no other way. This person had a strong background like hers, and he was a boy a few years older than her. It would definitely not work if she fought him directly. If she fought him too much, she was afraid that he would break down. Oh... it was difficult. However, at this moment, she silently prayed that this male cultivator who was full of sour words and refused to admit defeat would be able to draw Zhou Ling as his opponent in the next duel. Hehe, that little girl Zhou Ling has a stronger background than her, so if she were to do things that are inconvenient for her to do, she would definitely be able to do it! If he is really picked, the little girl Zhou Ling will teach him a lesson on the ring. He will not panic if he is offended. With Uncle Long supporting him, who dares to act rashly? The vortex of spiritual energy in the air gradually subsided and returned to calm, and the finishing work of the people who were advancing below was also completed. Without the excitement to watch, all the sensible people left, except for some elite disciples from other sects who were also in the foundation-building stage, who stood in the air for a long time and refused to leave. Why is it so difficult to get a good ranking in the Taoist competition? They spent a long time preparing for the competition, and thoroughly understood all the possible opponents. They had spent so much energy, but the results were always endless. Some time ago, Zhou Li appeared. They worked overtime and finally investigated this person thoroughly and added him to the alert book. But in the end, there are still people who are restless and dare to advance to the foundation-building stage at this critical juncture. Isn't this causing trouble for them! Everyone could hardly control the expression on their faces. Their eyes were fierce and they stared viciously in the direction where the spiritual energy vortex of Zhijian Peak disappeared. They looked unhappy, as if Zhou Ling would be eaten up by them if he showed up right now. In fact, Zhou Ling’s finishing work has not been completed yet. It turns out this is what it feels like to lay a perfect foundation. It is said that the most important stage in cultivating immortals is to build the foundation. As long as the foundation is solid enough, the speed and stability of future progress in cultivation will be higher than others. But after absorbing the spiritual energy vortex brought by the advancement, she didn't have to wait any longer, and immediately felt the excellent effect of the perfect foundation building! Sitting cross-legged in meditation, he circulated his spiritual energy, and felt the changes in his body after building his foundation, as well as some subtle changes in his practice methods. Zhou Li knew that his daughter liked to proceed step by step. After such an important stage, the first thing to do must be to consolidate her cultivation and examine the changes brought about by her advanced cultivation. So when her daughter didn't come out, she didn't rush her, but leisurely prepared a sumptuous meal to welcome her daughter when she came out. She also sorted out the information about the elite disciples of his sect who were opponents handed to her by Master Long, and placed it next to the dining table so that her daughter could read it after dinner. "Such a sumptuous meal!" After Zhou Ling finished his advancement, he saw the table full of delicacies and the opponent's information on the table, and his eyes lit up. "Your master gave it to you with great care. You can't be careless. Look at it well and win more. Your master will be proud." As an elder, I always feel like I have a lot to worry about. No matter what the aspect is, I always want to give some advice.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to win a few more games to make Master and his wife proud!" Zhou Ling was sitting at the table, picking up food and eating rice. Her little hands were extremely busy, but when she made the promise, she still took her hands out and patted her chest. However, she patted too quickly and with too much force and almost patted out the rice she hadn't swallowed. "You kid, you're choking and you're going to be in pain again! You can read the information after you eat, you're not allowed to read it now." "I'm done eating." Zhou Ling put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and hands, and then picked up a thick stack of papers on the table. (End of this chapter)
