Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Call Out Your Best Disciple, Seek Dao Sect!_1

“Your Seek Dao Sect is really oppressive!” Qiu Jin’an roared, angrily flipping the table over. The food spilled on the floor, sizzling as it corroded the wood. Observers’ eyes twitched at the sight.

His public image had always been that of a suave gentleman who could happily converse with common folks and cultivators alike without discrimination, and indeed he was such a person.

Qiu Jin’an felt that the Seek Dao Sect was his arch-enemy, easily able to provoke his emotions.

In a certain sense, the treatment Qiu Jin’an received from Seek Dao Sect was extremely respectful, comparable to that of the Four Immortals of the Ancients.

After all, only the Four Immortals of the Ancients were qualified to taste Yellow Bean’s culinary skills.

In his spiritual space, Lu Yang felt a shiver down his spine upon seeing this. It made perfect sense for the Four Immortals of the Ancients not to eat the food you cooked.

When Fairy Eternity was cooking, she blocked Lu Yang’s view under pretense of “this is an ancient secret, you can’t steal it”.

At that time Lu Yang had a bad premonition, and now it comes to fruition.

This was only the first two dishes. Fairy Eternity had a total of eight dishes, and Lu Yang dared not to imagine what kind of monstrous scene might come next.

But that was not the most important point. The key was that everything Fairy Eternity did was under his name. To outsiders, he was the one who cooked!

Two days ago and yesterday, he abused the power of the acting sect master and challenged beyond his level wantonly. It has already caused a wave of resentment. And now, a new wave of resentment was coming.

What did I do to deserve all this? I chanted Fairy Eternity’s true name and resurrected her.

Lu Yang felt that the causality of resurrecting an immortal was as heavy as a mount, he could hardly bear it.

There was a reason why the mastermind didn’t want to resurrect Fairy Eternity personally!

Seeing Qiu Jin’an’s rage, the Grand Elder and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, communicating with each other through transmitting messages silently.

“It’s good that our Seek Dao Sect respected the etiquette and let the Five Elements Sect eat first, otherwise it would have been a disaster for us.”

“Little Lu is really considerate. He has no hatred towards the Five Elements Sect, but as soon as he heard that the Five Elements Sect had a conflict with us, he took action immediately, giving Qiu Jin’an a lesson. Good boy!”

On the side of the Five Elements Sect, they were also lamenting: “I used to despise the tradition of respecting etiquette and deemed it obsolete, but now I see that the ancients have their wisdom. Elders should eat first.”

“They let us eat after the elders have finished and confirmed it’s not poisonous. This is the wisdom of the ancients!”

“Our sect leader has set an example of risking his life to test for poison. This spirit is worth learning.”

“We’ve heard from our sect leader before that both the elixirs and poison concocted by the Seek Dao Sect are unparalleled. Today, we’ve seen it.”

“Usually people would poison the food, but this is cooking in poison.”

While Qiu Jin’an was dining, the second elder showed concern for Shangguan Yu: “Fairy Yu, it’s been a long time, you’re still so beautiful.”

Shangguan Yu looked at the second elder calmly: “Little Ba, there’s no chance between us, it’s not suitable, you should really give up.”

The second elder was somewhat anxious: “Is it because I have some shortcomings? I can change!”

Shangguan Yu just shook her head without saying anything, but moved a little further away from the second elder.

“We all have been fasting. There’s really no need to eat this meal, it’s all formalities. Why not let the disciples compete against each other directly?” Qiu Jin’an didn’t bother with the pleasantries and stated the purpose of this trip.

The Grand Elder answered, “Indeed, we planned to divide the competition into four stages: Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Spirit Transformation Stage.”

Qiu Jin’an scoffed, thinking that indeed, the Seek Dao Sect planned to arrange competitions based on cultivation levels, thus avoiding Yun Zhi’s participation.

He waved his hand and said, “I only have one requirement, let your most outstanding disciple from Seek Dao Sect compete against our most outstanding disciple, a single battle will determine the victory, how about that?”

The Grand Elder hesitated, afraid the infamous scene of Yun Zhi ruthlessly defeating the Five Elements Sect would be repeated. “This isn’t a good idea, everything has been planned. What if you lose terribly? It won’t look good for our reputation.”

They must not provoke Qiu Jin’an to the point of something disastrous happening, especially not at the Seek Dao Sect.

Seeing the Grand Elder’s reaction, Qiu Jin’an’s belief in his decision strengthened. “Reputation? Cultivators rely on strength to determine the victor. If one loses, they lose. If one wins, they win. Who cares about the reputation!”

Qiu Jin’an beckoned, signaling his leading disciple to step forward.

“This is my oldest disciple, Lin Shaoyou, the most outstanding pupil of our Five Elements Sect. He possesses a single wood spiritual root and has an Initial Fusion Stage Cultivation level. Typically, Wood Elemental cultivators with single spiritual roots are skilled in healing and injury treatment, and not adept at combat, but he’s different!”

“Shaoyou has epitomized the philosophy of our Five Elements Sect, regarding the mutual generation and overcoming of the five elements. He’s able to generate fire from wood, produce earth from fire and nurture metal from earth. He has mastered fire and metal dual-element spells – Six-C Divine Fire and Mad Demon Golden Body. He even combined these two spells into a Forbidden Spell, causing significant damage!”

“Shaoyou has perfectly balanced the continuous sense of the Wood Spiritual Root with potent attack spells. Despite having only an Initial Fusion Stage cultivation level, his actual combat power is much higher. Just a few days ago, he triumphed over an Elder of a First Class Sect who was in the late stage of the Unification.”

Lin Shaoyou, dressed like a refined scholar, bore a content smile and carried a dignified aura, giving off the impression of effortless capability.

Indeed, among his peers, he found almost none that could challenge him. His sights have moved to the previous generation, even the one before that.

“Is my opponent Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen?”

In his opinion, within his generation in the Seek Dao Sect, only these two earned the qualification to compete against him.

During his last encounter with Yun Zhi, many of his techniques were not fully unleashed. This time, he was set on displaying his full power, aiming to win honor for his master!

“That would be me.”

A voice, serene yet with a hint of indifference, sent a chilling sensation through the air.

Yun Zhi, who had been silent since the beginning, stepped forward, causing Qiu Jin’an and his leading disciple’s hearts to skip a beat.

Qiu Jin’an gave a forced smirk. “Don’t try to scare me. I have done my research. Yun Zhi is the Acting Sect Master and is not allowed to partake in the fight. Your best pupil can either be Dai Bufan or Ji Hongwen!”

Yun Zhi produced a document, clearly stating that Lu Yang was the Acting Sect Master for three days. She pointed at Lu Yang and announced, “Here is the current Acting Sect Master, and I am now just an ordinary disciple of the Seek Dao Sect.”

Fairy Eternity chimed in buoyantly, “Exactly, I’m the current Acting Sect Master!”

“You must be joking! How can someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage serve as the Acting Sect Master!” Qiu Jin’an furiously retorted.

The Grand Elder shook his head. “That’s where you’re wrong. The current Sect Master Lu is a genius among geniuses. Despite only being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he is capable of challenging higher stages and has managed to defeat opponents at the Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Divinity Transformation Stage!”

Upon hearing this, every gaze in the Five Elements Sect turned towards Fairy Eternity.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage defeating someone at the Divinity Transformation Stage, even with external help, would be equivalent to utter fantasy. Even myths wouldn’t dare to spin such a tall tale!

The Seek Dao Sect, despite its poor reputation, had never lied. Particularly with matters of such gravity, Qiu Jin’an’s face turned serious. He hadn’t expected such a shocking prodigy to emerge from the Seek Dao Sect.

Compared to Lu Yang, any geniuses in history seemed to lose their shine!

The Seek Dao Sect was indeed formidable. They had anticipated his move and prepared in advance, arranging for Yun Zhi to fight.

Qiu Jin’an started to feel like he’s caught in a dilemma. He had talked a big game. If he didn’t fight, wouldn’t that make him lose face?

As Qiu Jin’an was wavering, Lin Shaoyou stepped forward, deeply improving Qiu Jin’an’s impression of him.

True to his title as the leading disciple, he had the courage to step forward at this critical moment, facing the pressure exerted by Yun Zhi head-on.

Lin Shaoyou took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing and mindset. He stared right at Yun Zhi and declared resolutely,

“If that’s the case, then I will renounce my role as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!”
