Chapter 105: Chapter 95 God-given destiny
All the cultivators present stood up straight and looked towards the owner of this voice. They saw a peerless female immortal with unsurpassed beauty. She was wearing a golden brocade dress, with a flying spirit ribbon, a autumn daffodil sword at her waist, a hibiscus bun on her head, and a Xuanchen jade infant crown on her head. She wore black-feathered phoenix shoes. She looked about thirty years old and was extremely charming. Truly, she had the celestial grace of a true immortal.
It was truly like a bright moon hanging in the sky!
Liu Suiyun could only use this phrase to describe this peerless female immortal in front of him. This female immortal in front of him was probably a great cultivator at the Golden Elixir realm!
Among the powerful auras that Liu Suiyun had felt, only his two little loli could be compared with this female immortal. But the aura emanating from this female immortal was not like the scorching sun that could burn people. Instead, it was like the silver moonlight. When it fell on people, there was a faint warmth, giving people a faint sense of closeness.
Shan Yunping had already started to make a simple introduction to everyone: "This is Immortal Master Shen Yaqin. Presumably, you have also heard of Immortal Master Shen's great name for a long time. Immortal Master Shen and Uncle Chu are truly a beautiful story in our Shenxiao Sect. Both husband and wife have achieved the Golden Elixir. There are not many couples like them in the entire sky realm..."
Some clever little cultivators had already knelt down in front of Shen Yaqin, almost directly hugging her thigh: "Junior has seen Senior Shen. Junior has seen Senior Shen!"
Liu Suiyun had also heard of Shen Yaqin's great name. It was really because her husband, Chu Nanhua, was extremely talented and outstanding. He achieved the stages of Qi-induction, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Elixir in one go without any obstacles. It was said that he was now at the later stage of Golden Elixir and would definitely form the Nascent Soul within several decades. Given time, he might not be unable to achieve the Primordial Spirit. He could be said to be the most promising second-generation disciple of the Shenxiao Sect.
And Liu Suiyun heard Shen Yaqin's name also because of Chu Nanhua. It was said that they both achieved the Golden Elixir as husband and wife. In the future, if they received the care of Chu Nanhua, there was great hope for them to combine their swords and become a pair of Nascent Soul immortal couples. That is to say, what Liu Suiyun heard was "Shen Yaqin, the immortal couple of Chu Nanhua".
But now standing in front of Shen Yaqin, Liu Suiyun felt for the first time the celestial grace of a female Golden Elixir immortal. Liu Suiyun only felt that Shen Yaqin was like a bright moon hanging in the sky. The silver moonlight gave people a heartfelt sense of admiration. He bent down and respectfully said, "Disciple has seen Senior Shen!"
"All good children!" Shen Yaqin had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "Nephew Shan, tell me what strengths these children have?"
She regarded these cultivators as juniors, but every cultivator present felt this was supreme care. What could be more important than the care of a Golden Elixir cultivator!
Shan Yunping had already started to introduce: "This is Mu Qiuhai. He is proficient in fire-basedTaoism, has extraordinary spiritual power, and also has several family-inherited secret techniques. He stood out in this small competition and won fourth place..."
But just as Shan Yunping had finished speaking, this little cultivator named Mu Qiuhai had already raised his hand and said, "Senior Shen, Master Shan. Junior also knows a little about water-basedTaoism!"
Sure enough, he had hidden his trump card. From beginning to end on the arena, this Mu Qiuhai had never shown that he could cultivate both water and fire. You should know that the difficulty of cultivating both water and wood is many times more difficult than simply cultivating fire. If he hadn't revealed it on his own initiative, even Shan Yunping wouldn't have known that he had kept such a trick up his sleeve.
In fact, Mu Qiuhai had many other strengths. For example, he was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and he also had several good magic tools. But these things were not worthy of mention in Shen Yaqin's eyes. Therefore, he could only tell his most proficient and proudest skills.
Originally, this skill of cultivating both water and fire was something he was going to take out to decide the victory or defeat in the grand competition. But compared to the attention of a Golden Elixir cultivator, the grand competition was no longer important. And when the other Qi Refining cultivators saw Mu Qiuyun raise his hand, they also revealed their true abilities one after another after Shan Yunping's introduction.
"This Junior Bai Lin is extraordinary in swordsmanship and has great tenacity. In this small competition, he managed to fight his way out of the loser's bracket!"
"Junior Zheng Zhi is proficient in both martial arts and Daoist cultivation. He can be said to be one of the shining new stars in this small competition. It's rare to see a newcomer who can combine martial arts and Daoist techniques so well!"
"Senior Shen, junior is not only proficient in both martial arts and Daoist cultivation but also can make talismans. Although it's not very remarkable, I think my aptitude is still okay."
"Junior also has a set of Thirteen Chasing Moon Swords. I didn't have time to use it in the small competition. If Senior Shen is willing to give me face..."
Everyone couldn't wait to tell their own strengths, fearing that Shen Yaqin wouldn't look up to them. You should know that this was a Golden Elixir cultivator. Even if there were countless difficulties and dangers, as long as Shen Yaqin moved a finger casually, their whole life would be set.
Although Shen Yaqin had a smile on her face and celestial grace flowing, she didn't speak all the time. Soon it was Liu Suiyun's turn. Shan Yunping considered for a long time before saying, "This is Liu Suiyun. The first place in this small competition. He has the greatest strength..."
He could only say these four words "has the greatest strength". But he glanced at Liu Suiyun. Liu Suiyun said with a grateful heart, "Junior is proficient in both martial arts and Daoist cultivation. My legs are nimble and I am efficient in handling affairs."
Although he had many strengths, things like purple jade ice thunder and the fragment of talisman scripture were not convenient to say. And Shan Yunping quickly turned the introduction target to the next cultivator. Everyone stared at Shen Yaqin with expectant eyes.
After finally introducing the eight winners, he also turned his gaze to Shen Yaqin: "Please give your instructions, Immortal Master."
Shen Yaqin had celestial grace and was prudent: "Very good. They are all good children. I am here to select a disciple for my husband this time..."
Selecting a disciple for Chu Nanhua. Everyone's eyes were shining with stars. This was a great opportunity!
Who would have thought that such an insignificant small competition, in addition to the opportunity of byes, would have such a heaven-sent opportunity!
Although everyone had won this small competition, they might not be able to qualify in the grand competition. Even if they qualified in the grand competition and entered the Shenxiao Sect, they might not be able to successfully build the foundation. An Zhiyu of the Tianhong Sect was the most typical example. Even if they could successfully build the foundation, they might not have the opportunity to become disciples of Golden Elixir cultivators.
But now, with just a nod from Shen Yaqin, everyone could save decades of hard work and immediately achieve a true immortal fate. Everyone couldn't wait to try their best and was ready to show their real skills.
If they didn't seize this opportunity now, they would definitely regret it for the rest of their lives. Everyone was already ready to take out their most hidden skills. Even if they had to fight to a draw, they had to determine the winner.
Several experienced cultivators had already glanced at Liu Suiyun, the first place in the small competition, more than a dozen times. Then they communicated with each other with their eyes and reached an unspoken agreement. Who told Liu Suiyun to get the first place? Now he was a typical case of standing out and being targeted.
Although Liu Suiyun had experienced many grand scenes, he was also a bit nervous now. If these guys really fought with all their might, he might have to use all his skills to deal with them. But then he heard Shen Yaqin's voice as clear as a mountain stream: "It's decided now. Liu Suiyun, come here!"
These four words "It's decided now" were like a bolt from the blue, shocking the expressions of the other cultivators into a daze. Liu Suiyun, on the other hand, happily ran to Shen Yaqin's side. But before he could stand still, that Mu Qiuhai had already shouted, "Senior Shen, although Senior Brother Liu is the first place in the small competition, at that time I only used three parts of my strength. That's why Senior Brother Liu was lucky enough to get the first place. Now Qiuhai wants to compete with Senior Brother Liu again!"
"That's right. At that time I wasn't in my best state and only used three or four parts of my strength. I earnestly request Senior Shen to let us compete again!"
"That's right, that's right. At the time of the small competition, everyone was a bit lax. That's why we conceded the first place to Senior Brother Liu. Please, Senior Shen, show mercy."
"Please, Senior Shen, show mercy and let us see Senior Brother Liu's real skills!"
Liu Suiyun became the target of everyone's attacks in the first place. No one had expected that the first place in the small competition would have such benefits. Otherwise, even if they had to spit out dozens of catties of blood during the small competition, they would have to get the first place. Even Shan Yunping said, "Immortal Master Shen, didn't you say that after the grand competition is over, you will select a disciple for Uncle Chu from among them? Now that you have taken Liu Suiyun away, the schedule of the entrance grand competition will have to be rearranged."
Now the voices requesting a rematch were even louder. Since everyone knew what kind of opportunity they had missed, how could they allow such an opportunity to pass by them again? But Shen Yaqin smiled and held the autumn daffodil sword: "This matter has been fully authorized to me by Nanhua. I have the final say!"
No matter how many reasons and hardships you have, they can't compare to this sentence. Liu Suiyun almost couldn't close his mouth in excitement. He quickly stood beside Shen Yaqin. And Shen Yaqin also turned around and ordered Liu Suiyun: "Let's go. Let's go back to the cave abode!"
She did give some instructions to Shan Yunping: "You take more care of the schedule matter. You are responsible for how to fill in the byes! Also, these children are not bad. Teach them a few real skills!"
The remaining cultivators could only reluctantly accept this result. After all, Shen Yaqin was a Golden Elixir cultivator, and they were just ants-like Qi Refining loose cultivators. Moreover, the current conditions were not bad. The three extra rounds of byes that Liu Suiyun had. The ones with the greatest chance to fill in were them. Not to mention that Shen Yaqin asked Shan Yunping to teach them a few real skills.
Shan Yunping was originally known for his kindness. Now with Shen Yaqin's instructions, even if he couldn't pass this grand competition, he wouldn't have come in vain in the end. At least he could learn a few more hidden skills.
The lucky Liu Suiyun closely followed behind Shen Yaqin and walked out. But he heard the greeting from Mrs. Shan behind him: "Is it Immortal Master Shen? Yaqin, are you leaving now? Won't you stay for a simple meal at my house?"
"No! I still have to go home and discipline this child!"
Shen Yaqin's back was even more beautiful than that of an ordinary girl. Looking at her waist with a fairy sword, her shoulders as if carved, and her clothes fluttering in the wind, Liu Suiyun was a bit intoxicated. Shen Yaqin's words brought him back to reality: "In case this child is not nimble enough, maybe he will have to be sent back. Please keep a meal for this child first!"
Liu Suiyun couldn't help but clench his fist tightly. He made up his mind!
Since there was such a good immortal fate, he would never miss it. He must not be sent back by Shen Yaqin.
Shen Yaqin had already walked out: "Child, let's go!"
