Chapter 60: Look Down on Zhou Ling Master has been busy again these days. The demons are restless, and the whereabouts of the escaped soul have not been found yet. The backup organization he left behind has also started to make trouble. After the old demon of Phoenix Mountain was captured, those people tried several times to capture the place where the old demon was imprisoned and rescue him. Before getting any useful information out of the old monster of Phoenix Mountain, several major sects in the immortal cultivation world will do their best to protect the place where he is imprisoned and prevent the demons from breaking in. But now that the Taoist competition is approaching, the immortal cultivation world has limited manpower and is unable to handle both ends, so it is natural that some big guys who usually don't care about other things are asked to come out of seclusion. The master is naturally one of the big guys. These days he is so busy that he has no time to eat. Every evening he only sends a puppet crane for transporting items and asks him to put the food left for him throughout the day on it, and he eats it whenever he has time. Thinking about the hard work of his master, and looking at the opponent's information in his hand that was obviously carefully prepared, Zhou Ling's eyes became red. "Mom, I won't watch it for now. At this time, Master's crane should be arriving soon. It just so happens that I have successfully established my foundation today. I will cook two more dishes for Master to celebrate." "Okay." Zhou Li was relieved. This child was filial and knew how difficult it was to care about her master. The dishes her daughter cooked were all delicious but had strange names. She couldn't help with anything else, so she just helped by picking the vegetables. When he smelled a familiar stench gradually wafting from the thick soup in the pot, Zhou Li knew that he had guessed right. "Snail noodles! So stinky and fragrant! Delicious! Add more noodles, I'll eat two bowls!" Her eyes were wide open, as if filled with starlight, and as she blinked excitedly and expectantly, a deep starlight shone brightly, charming and dazzling. "Okay." Zhou Ling responded lovingly, like a little adult.
"Mumama Muma!" Zhou Li hugged his daughter's face and kissed her fiercely. There was nothing he could do, because his daughter thought this dish was troublesome and was always very stingy with it. Although it tasted good, she often couldn't eat it for several months. Now, thanks to Master Long's help, her daughter has agreed to do more, and she is happy! She added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire in the stove. Although she was happy, she did not forget her business. She also had the opponent information in her daughter's hand, but it was slightly different from her daughter's. She was stronger, so Master Long predicted fewer opponents for her. Despite this, she decided to look at it again to improve her chances of winning. For my well-behaved daughter, for the longevity pill! Fight! Roll it up! After eating two bowls of snail noodles, Zhou Li was so full that he could hardly walk. The three people from Zhijian Peak are all foodies who have a special liking for delicious food. Whenever they come across something delicious, they eat more. Even if they are so full that they can't stand up, they will not use their spiritual power to digest the food in their stomachs. After all, digesting it naturally is their greatest respect for food. Zhou Li rubbed his stomach and leaned back in the recliner, flipping through the information. Every time he looked at one, he closed his eyes and silently rehearsed in his mind the various situations that would arise if he faced this person, such as the opportunities and mistakes during the fight. Zhou Ling put the food prepared for the master into the Qiankun box behind the crane, and then she followed her mother's example and began to sharpen her skills before the battle. There was no other way. Who made her advance to the foundation-building stage at this time? Time was tight and there was not much time left for her to prepare. She could only find a secluded place to study by lamplight at night, just like when she first started practicing Taoism. Fortunately, as a cultivator now, being able to remember everything at a glance is just a small matter of performing a Taoist trick, but this is dead knowledge. If you want to learn and apply it flexibly, you still need time to slowly digest the information in your memory. When the sky was bright, Zhou Ling closed the last piece of rice paper in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and stood up. In the distance, above the main peak, the sky was already bright with rays of light and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening. "Come, eat quickly, you're going to be late." Seeing that his daughter had finally finished reading, Zhou Li hurriedly pulled her to sit at the table and put some appetizers on the porridge in her bowl. Zhou Ling was stunned, thinking that since he was going to be late, he should not eat. It would be the same if he took the fasting pills. But before he could say anything, his mother stuffed a soft and sweet bean paste bun into his mouth... The appetite in my stomach was aroused all of a sudden. Never mind, it won’t take much time. I will feel more at ease if I eat something. Maybe I can perform better in the competition. When it comes to the speed of eating, Zhou Ling has never been inferior to anyone. After all, he has practiced it before. He can finish drinking porridge, chewing buns, eating vegetables and crunching fruits in just five minutes! After taking care of the important issue of eating, the mother and daughter arrived at the competition venue almost on time. Master Mo Wang on the stage wore a rare piece of luxurious-looking clothing today. He stroked his sparse beard and spoke on the stage, barely looking like an immortal. Zhou Ling listened carefully for a long time at first, but found that it was all empty talk, so he lost interest in listening any further and focused his attention on the people gathered in the main square to participate in the competition. "Look, that little girl standing in the crowd who is hard to find is the direct disciple of the current Wandao Sect Elder Long. It is said that she succeeded in building her foundation yesterday. Although it is a perfect foundation, the time for building the foundation is so short that she caught up with this Taoist competition. How can she have the slightest chance of winning? Tsk tsk, it's a pity. The opponent will be decided by drawing lots today. If anyone draws her, what's the difference between that and advancing directly with a bye? I'm so envious."
"Why are you envious? Have some confidence. Maybe you will get her." His companion laughed and teased him. "No, I dare not. Although I will definitely win if I fight her, the person behind her is Elder Long. I can't afford it if I make her angry." The male cultivator took small steps back and waved his hands repeatedly. "Tsk, you look so cowardly, what are you afraid of? This is the rule of the competition, there are winners and losers, she is a cultivator who has just advanced to the foundation building stage, it is normal that she cannot beat the senior in the ring, isn't that normal? Elder Long is a reasonable person, he won't hold a grudge against anyone because of such a small matter. This first elimination match is a tough battle, everyone is trying their best to advance, it's very difficult to win. I also want to draw the opponent named Zhou Ling, at least I can advance in the first round." Some people couldn't stand the way he behaved and started to confront him directly. The topic of whether or not one would be willing to draw Zhou Ling was brought up, and more people joined in the conversation. Although Zhou Ling was standing far away, his spiritual awareness and consciousness could cover that area, so he could hear all their discussions. Sure, everyone is already looking forward to picking her as their opponent. Some of them are even imagining how, if they really pick her, they will unilaterally suppress and beat her in the ring, destroy the prestige of the Wandao Sect, and put an end to the arrogance of the extremely arrogant Elder Long. The Elder Long they were talking about was naturally their master. It was said that the master relied on his profound cultivation to be invincible and no one dared to give him face in the world of immortal cultivation. He had great talent and strength, but was willing to stay in a small place like Wandao Sect. It was fine that other sects could not poach him, but this Elder Long always took the opportunity to ridicule those who extended an olive branch to him. How arrogant and domineering! But such a talented person ended up accepting a five-spiritual-root disciple who was a useless cultivator. Is this what they call "extremes lead to the opposite"? Hahaha, how ridiculous! Anyway, no matter who it is today, as long as they draw his beloved disciple, they will suppress and beat him ruthlessly in the ring with their strength. If nothing else, at least they can avenge the humiliation of their master or elders in the past! (End of this chapter)
