Chapter 114: Tai Xu Biyun Laozu

"How about this!"

He Pingsheng said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Xuan, since you can wait for me for three years, you must also be able to wait for me for thirty years!"

"Just wait a few more years for me; when I break through to the tenth layer of Qi Refining, let's talk about the competition then!"

He Pingsheng usually did not argue with people.

But that did not mean he couldn't.

After his spiritual sense became powerful, his intellect gradually opened, and his thinking and reaction were naturally far superior to his peers.

Xiao Xuan opposite him was so angered by him that he was about to vomit blood.

"Hmph..." The withered old man was so angry that he flicked his sleeves violently, stood up, and said: "In Tai Xu Men, are they all shrinking turtles and glib-tongued people like you?"

"If that is truly the case, Tai Xu Men is not far from being destroyed!"

"Let's go!"

The old man angrily dragged his disciple away.

Clatter...

Zhao Linger, Xu Kunlun, and Tian Xiaoqing clapped their hands happily.

"Junior Brother, you are too amazing!"

"To deal with such people, one must use this kind of method!"

"Using the tenth layer to challenge you at the eighth layer, isn't that clearly bullying?"

Senior Sister and Senior Brother both spoke up for He Pingsheng.

But Yu Ning opposite them frowned tightly and said: "It's not that simple!"

"This Daoist Chi Bing and Xiao Xuan haven't achieved their goal; I'm afraid they won't let it go so easily!"

"He Pingsheng, you must stay steady!"

"Remember Master's words: no matter how they provoke you in the future, you are not allowed to accept their challenge!"

"Do you understand?"

At the end, she added: "Can you stay steady?"

"Don't worry, Master!" He Pingsheng smiled and said: "If you ask me to fight him, I definitely won't win; but if you ask me to stay steady and not accept the challenge, then I can definitely do it perfectly!"

"This disciple will definitely stay steady!"

"Fine!" Yu Ning said: "Go, no need to pay attention to them!"

He Pingsheng bid farewell to his Master and returned to his residence to continue cultivating.

Although he said he would stay steady, this matter also made He Pingsheng feel a crisis.

Cultivation base!

Improving his cultivation base was the foundation.

Although that guy Xiao Xuan wasn't much, he was right about one thing: the Cultivation World always respects strength.

Improving strength is the only way to gain respect.

At the very least, he couldn't let his Dao companion look down on him, right?

He Pingsheng opened his mouth, and another top-tier medicinal pill was swallowed down.

The Li Fire True Method in his body circulated frantically.

Just like that, cultivating slowly, without knowing it, more than a month passed.

On this day, a knock sounded at the door of the small courtyard again.

He Pingsheng opened the door to look, and standing outside was actually his Master Yu Ning; he was shocked and said: "Master, why have you come?"

Yu Ning asked: "Can I not come?"

Her expression was not very good.

He Pingsheng said: "Of course you can come, but if you need to summon this disciple, you could just let me know, and this disciple would naturally go to Master Yu Ning Palace to pay respects; why would you need to come personally, old lady!"

"Sigh..." Yu Ning said: "Stop being glib with me!"

"I have something to tell you!"

He Pingsheng said: "Master, please speak!"

Yu Ning said: "Old Nine... I'm sorry... I... I couldn't stay steady!"

"Ah?" He Pingsheng opened his mouth wide: "You couldn't stay steady, what does that mean?"

Yu Ning said: "Regarding the challenge from the Ice Extreme Sect, last time I told you to stay steady, but now... we can't stay steady anymore!"

He Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat: "Master, what exactly happened?"

Yu Ning said: "After Xiao Xuan and Chi Bing returned from here last time, they were resentful, so they set up a ring at the Dao Xuan Alliance, saying they would wait for you for three years, and that you must advance to the tenth layer of Qi Refining within three years!"

"After reaching the tenth layer, you will go and compete with him!"

"They have already set up the ring!"

"I originally thought we just wouldn't accept it!"

"But... this matter has spread like wildfire within the Dao Xuan Alliance; the entire Dao Xuan Alliance, dozens of sects, and hundreds of families all know about it!"

"If you don't go, I'm afraid it won't be good!"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng's face also turned black: These people are really forcing me to make a move.

"Also!" Yu Ning said: "Our Tai Xu Men's ancestor, that is, the master of your grandmaster True Person Chongyang, the Nascent Soul Stage great power Tai Xu Biyun Laozu, has spoken personally!"

"He said, you must go!"

"Tai Xu Biyun Laozu?" Respect appeared on He Pingsheng's face.

Legend has it that in this Tai Xu Men, there is an ancestor whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Stage, but he had never seen the ancestor before; in He Pingsheng's impression, this ancestor was always in seclusion cultivating and never asked about worldly sect matters.

But Tai Xu Biyun Laozu was, after all, the Supreme Elder of the entire Tai Xu Men; once he spoke, who in the entire sect dared not to obey?

"Yes!" Yu Ning said: "Tai Xu Biyun Laozu's original words were 'People can die, but face cannot be lost'..."

"This is his order!"

"I can still say a word at Xiuzhu Peak, but looking at the entire Tai Xu Sect, where can I speak? Tai Xu Ancestor doesn't even know who I am!"

"So Old Nine... this stage, I'm afraid we have to accept it even if we don't want to!"

"There is one more thing!" Yu Ning continued: "The Qiao family at Mount Tianqiang seems to have agreed to this matter as well!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Ice Extreme Immortal Sect set up the ring, Tai Xu Biyun Laozu accepted it, and the old Qiao family agreed too.

Then this time, he had to go even if he didn't want to.

He had to bite the bullet and go.

"Fine!" He Pingsheng nodded: "This disciple will accept it; does Master know what kind of terms they have set?"

"Is it a bet on winning or losing, or a matter of life and death?"

Yu Ning said: "Of course it's a bet on winning or losing!"

"Perhaps fearing that you wouldn't agree to the challenge, they said that during this competition, both sides will only rely on physical martial arts, and no magic treasures, talismans, medicinal pills, etc., or any auxiliary items are allowed!"

"Just compare magic spells and physical arts!"

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just comparing magic spells and physical arts, then he still had hope.

After all, he was a man who had cultivated five dantian.

"So if you lose, at most you lose face, at most you break off the marriage contract with the Qiao family!"

"Anyway, I don't think the Qiao family has any good intentions either!"

Yu Ning said while comforting He Pingsheng.

"However..." Yu Ning added: "The problem now is not how to compete, but whether you can cultivate to the tenth layer of Qi Refining within three years!"

"If you can cultivate to it, that's fine; if you can't, then it will be even more troublesome!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

They set up the ring and gave you three years; if you couldn't catch up to their cultivation in three years, wouldn't you be laughed at?

"Master, don't worry, in three years, this disciple will definitely be able to cultivate to the tenth layer!"

"Good!" Yu Ning said: "Tai Xu Biyun Laozu said, in these three years, you can enter and exit any hall of the entire Tai Xu Men, and you can cultivate any suitable cultivation techniques and magic spells in the sect!"

"If you need anything, take this token and go directly to the major halls to ask for it!"

"Whether it's medicinal herbs or cultivation techniques!"

"By the way, for these three years, you don't need to refine pills for the sect either!"

"Prepare well!"

"The ancestor said, you can lose, after all, the opponent is a genius. But the ancestor has one requirement, and that is not to lose too miserably... you have to save some face for our Tai Xu Men!"

"As long as you don't lose too miserably, we won't lose face!" ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
