Chapter 529: Baffling Competition

His breath was deep and his foundation solid; he didn't look like someone who had just broken through.

"Husband, you're not feeling unwell, are you?"

Bai Hua Xianzi asked blankly; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing gave a slight smile.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's answer, Bai Hua Xianzi fell silent.

From childhood, Bai Hua Xianzi had always thought her talent was already enough to be heaven-defying; at least purely in terms of talent, she could rank among the top three in all of Dongzhou.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone her age to have the same cultivation as Hong Zun and Qi Xiong.

You know, Qi Xiong and Hong Zun are quite a bit older than Bai Hua Xianzi.

But now, for the first time in her life, Bai Hua Xianzi doubted her own talent.

There's no way; who could break through just by falling asleep like Ye Zhangqing?

Moreover, he showed no sign of strain at all, as if the Heavenly Dao were begging him to break through.

Regarding Ye Zhangqing's talent, everyone came to a new realization: it was already heaven-defying.

If this guy doesn't fall, then forget about the Saint Realm—he could probably even charge into the Great Saint realm.

After chatting a few words with everyone, Ye Zhangqing silently opened his panel.

Host: Ye Zhangqing.

Identity: Hall Master of the Dao Yi Sect Canteen.

Cultivation: Nascent Soul Realm entry (23546/5000000).

Techniques: Bright Heart Technique (perfected), Nine Meridians Technique (perfected), Hundred Revolutions Golden Core Technique (perfected)...

Arts: Shadow Blade (Yellow Upper Rank, Transformation Stage), Seven Stars Step (Yellow Upper Rank, Transformation Stage), Spiritual Jade (Yellow Upper Rank, Transformation Stage), Seven Kill Blade (Xuan Middle Rank, Perfected), Mysterious Spiritual Jade (Xuan Extreme Upper Rank, Perfected), Swift Wind Step (Xuan Extreme Upper Rank, Perfected)...

Reputation: Fame spreading rapidly.

Talent: Heavenly Grade Lower Tier (48365/5000000).

Physique: Heavenly Grade Lower Tier (30165/5000000).

Comprehension: Heavenly Grade Middle Tier (79995/5000000).

Cultivation successfully advanced to Nascent Soul Realm, but to improve further, he would need five million good reviews.

However, that's no problem; gaining fifty thousand a day wouldn't take long.

As for talent, physique, and comprehension, they have all reached the Heavenly Grade.

He had made great progress, nodded in satisfaction, and then closed his personal panel.

One meal let many disciples of the Dao Yi Sect eat to their heart's content, especially those who had never tasted it before—they were practically moved to tears.

Before, they had only heard others say how good Elder Ye's cooking was, but they had never actually tried it.

But today, they finally got what they wished for.

However, after tasting such delicious food, the disciples found it hard to forget, secretly vowing to work hard at cultivation from now on.

Otherwise, if they couldn't get this food, how would they go on living?

The establishment of the canteen made the entire Dao Yi Sect rejoice.

However, what comes next is the matter of the Four Sect Grand Competition, and the first to arrive at the Dao Yi Sect were Putuo Temple, Guigu, and Qing Yun Sect—these three major affiliated forces.

After all, the Dao Yi Sect is hosting this Four Sect Grand Competition; as its affiliated forces, they naturally must give full support.

Having arrived early, this time Chen Qingyu finally got to meet Qi Xiong.

Looking at Qi Xiong, Chen Qingyu's expression was somewhat complex; the person who used to be his peer had now become his Upper Sect.

He clasped his hands in a salute and called out.

"Qing Yun Sect's Chen Qingyu, greetings to the Upper Sect."

There's nothing unwilling about it; the matter is already settled—what can you do even if you're not happy?

All Chen Qingyu is thinking about now is how to develop the Qing Yun Sect; his mindset adjustment is not bad.

After all, he is the sect leader; if he couldn't adjust this mindset, that would be strange.

Moreover, compared to the Huang Ji Sect, the Qing Yun Sect's outcome is much better—they even had their Sect Master killed.

As for Juexin, Yin Xiaoshan and the strong ones of Putuo Temple and Guigu, they had no psychological burden at all, and directly addressed Qi Xiong respectfully.

In the main hall, Qi Xiong sat in the chief seat, while the strong ones of the three affiliated forces sat separately on the left and right.

Qi Xiong laughed and said.

"Esteemed guests, your arrival makes our sect very welcome."

"Upper Sect, you overpraise us; this is simply our duty."

Juexin replied; hearing this, Yin Xiaoshan quickly continued.

"Yes, a single word from the Upper Sect, and my Guigu would not spare even climbing knives or plunging into fire seas; since the moment I saw the Upper Sect, Xiaoshan's reverence for the Upper Sect has been like the waters of the Heavenly River............."

"Alright, alright, our sect knows."

"As long as the Upper Sect understands Xiaoshan's feelings, Xiaoshan in life cannot be a person of the Dao Yi Sect, and in death must be a ghost of the Dao Yi Sect."

Listening to Yin Xiaoshan's endless flattery, Chen Qingyu's expression turned grim.

Damn, is this the Ghost King of Guigu? Holy shit, does he have any dignity at all?

But after glancing around, he found that all the Ghost Kings present, far from looking down on Yin Xiaoshan with contempt, actually each showed a hint of regret.

What are you regretting? Are you regretting that Yin Xiaoshan stole your lines?

When did these Ghost Kings become so obedient? It's simply outrageous.

Chen Qingyu hasn't even eaten the Dao Yi Sect's food yet, so he doesn't understand these matters.

But Yin Xiaoshan and the others have been craving this meal for a long time; now that they finally have the chance, how could they let it pass?

Not only them, but Juexin and the other Putuo Temple people beside them, seeing Yin Xiaoshan's fawning look, also became anxious at once.

Just kidding, they are the first ones to have defected to the Dao Yi Sect, alright.

Even as subsidiary strength, our Putuo Temple is the foremost among subsidiary forces, commonly called the left and right arms.

Immediately, Juexin spoke with a sincere expression.

"Report to the Superior Sect, our Putuo Temple has specially brought this time the tribute for ten years later; please accept it, Superior Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu became even more dazed. What does it mean? The tribute for ten years later, now we have to pay it?

The Dao Yi Sect collects tribute from its subsidiary forces once every ten years; Chen Qingyu knows this, after all, their Qing Yun Sect also has to hand it over.

But now, what are these bald donkeys doing? Why are they paying the tribute for the next ten years in advance?

This isn't even anything; upon hearing Juexin's words, the Ghost Valley Ghost Kings beside him all had their faces sink, glaring angrily at the direction of Putuo Temple, thinking viciously.

"Old bald donkey, nice calculation, but do you think this will win the Superior Sect's favor? My Ghost Valley will not lose to you."

Immediately, Yin Xiaoshan rose to his feet and spoke respectfully.

"Report to the Superior Sect, our Ghost Valley has also specially brought this time the tribute, but for the twenty years after; please examine it, Superior Sect."

Huh???

This made Chen Qingyu even more bewildered; originally Putuo Temple was already absurd enough, but now Ghost Valley is absolutely absurd.

Before Chen Qingyu could come to his senses, Juexin already stood up, let out a cold snort at Yin Xiaoshan, and then performed a respectful salute.

"Report to the Superior Sect, I just made a mistake, our Putuo Temple actually brought the tribute for the thirty years after this time."

"You..............."

Faced with Juexin's provocative gaze, Yin Xiaoshan hated him to the point of itching teeth, but he would not admit defeat just like that, wanting to vie for the position of the foremost subsidiary force; you old bald donkey, you don't even piss to look at yourself.
