After the incident at the Zonggui Altar, Qin Shi completely changed his image and status in the Sword Sect. When he walked out of the hall again, the eyes from a distance were full of admiration.
"Hey, Shitou, this feels so good." Haoyue puffed up her chest in enjoyment, as if everyone was worshiping him.
Qin Shi smiled faintly. He didn't care about these vanities, because in his opinion, these vanities could bring him nothing.
What he wanted had always been clear.
Over the years, I have been consistent and working hard towards that goal.
Xuexin, Sister Yu, Rakshasa, parents, Qin Zong, Qin family, and all brothers...
These are the things he cares about and want to protect.
Of course, after going through the Zonggui Altar, he did have a lot of feelings. What's more, surprisingly, after walking out of the Zonggui Altar, he was surprised to find that there was some inexplicable qualitative change in his spiritual power. There are cracks in the ego and bottlenecks that have never been able to break through.
This was what he valued most, but he also tried to attack the crack, but after the crack reached a certain level, it stopped moving forward again, and in the end he had no choice but to give up.
However, with this rift, he believed that it would not take long, especially after the next trip to Jiange, to successfully break through this bottleneck.
And at that time, the long-awaited Tianding Realm was not far away from him.
"Brother Shi, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not." Suddenly, Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a while and said.
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Is there anything that brothers can't say to each other? Unless you don't treat me as a brother, right?"
Xu Qingfeng felt warm in his heart and nodded vigorously: "Yeah! Brother Shi, I think that even though you walked out of the Zonggui Altar Sect this time, Zhang Hun and the others will definitely not let you go. I just had a few people who had a good relationship with me before. A good friend reported to me that Zhang Hun returned to Taishang Pavilion after leaving the square, and summoned all Su Ye and several of his disciples back, as if he was planning some conspiracy against you. I'm afraid they will Bad for you.”
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Xu Qingfeng didn't need to say this, he had already expected it: "I know, but don't worry, they can't do anything to me."
In fact, Qin Shi's telepathy has been detecting Zhang Hun since he left the square, and he had already known about Zhang Hun's recall of Su Noi and the others.
However, he has a habit. Since he has offended someone, he might as well die to offend him. And he always vaguely felt that the relationship between him and Zhang Hun was definitely not just because he became a secluded person. Disciple, it is so simple to hinder his long-term plan.
The two of them seemed to be destined to have a fateful duel, and the seeds of this duel were already planted when Chi Yan took down the Spirit of the Sword Sect from the Qiqing Sword Tomb.
Seeing Qin Shi's confident look, Xu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately he said: "However, Brother Shi still needs to be careful. Although Zhang Hun and the others within the Sword Sect cannot cause any harm to you, Su Yu will definitely not give up easily in the next annual disciple competition." .”
"Annual Disciple Competition?" Qin Shi asked curiously: "What is it?"
This was the first time he heard about this, and what concerned him more was that even Haoyue and Yuyue couldn't help but look forward to it when they heard about this annual disciple competition.
"This annual disciple competition is an annual competition among the disciples of the Sword Sect. It is divided into the best selection of new disciples and a strength competition among old disciples."
"Every year's champion, whether fresh or old, will receive high honors."
"And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if you win the freshman disciple competition, you will get the inheritance of the Sword Sect's previous masters."
"The inheritance of past sect masters?" Qin Shi was slightly surprised. Doesn't this sound very high-end? "What does this mean?"
"Brother Shi doesn't know. In addition to what you see, Jian Zong also has a very sacred and secret place. This place is called Jianzhong Holy Spirit Hall."
"Sword Tomb Holy Spirit Church?"
"Well, that's right. This Sword Tomb Holy Spirit Hall is millions of meters above the Jian Sect. It was created by the founder of the Sword Sect who built a barrier in the sky."
"When the Sword Sect's successive sect masters finally fall, they will leave a legacy of blood in this Sword Sect Holy Spirit Hall. Since the establishment of the Sword Sect, there have been a total of thirty-seven generations of sect masters. That is to say, in this Sword Tomb Holy Spirit Hall It contains the blood essence left by thirty-seven sect leaders.”
"When you become the best disciple of the year, you will have the opportunity to enter the Sword Sect Holy Spirit Hall for baptism. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can get the approval of one or two sect masters and obtain their inheritance, you will benefit a lot. shallow."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi nodded secretly. As one of the eight giants of the human world, Jian Zong, the strength of the previous sect masters can be imagined, at least to the extent that they are inviolable in the realm. It is great to be able to obtain their inheritance. Opportunity.
"Is there such a thing?" He asked Yuyue.
Yu Yue responded affirmatively: "Well, it is indeed the case, but don't think too much. The best disciple of the year can indeed enter the Sword Tomb Holy Spirit Hall, but as far as I know it is not easy to obtain inheritance from it. I remember that the Sword Sect has been around for nearly a hundred years, and no one has been able to get the approval of the previous sect masters and take out the inheritance."
"Last time, it was Su Noi who achieved three inheritances by himself."
"One person has three inheritances? Is it true or false?"
Xu Qingfeng clicked his tongue. He had not been in the Sword Sect for a long time, and he certainly didn't know as much about the Sword Sect as Yu Yue did. When he heard the news, his eyes flashed a few times, and the look of envy and jealousy was particularly obvious: "This is simply It’s unbelievable that I can obtain the inheritance of three sect masters in a row.”
"Indeed, the three-path inheritance, even in the history of the Sword Sect, has only had three people. Even the leader Fang Qing was only a three-path at the beginning."
"This Su Noi is really not simple."
However, listening to the two people's discussion from the side, Qin Shi began to think alone.
Ever since he came out of the Red Flame, he has felt the lack of strength and inadequacy time and time again. He has felt powerless when facing powerful enemies many times. Especially when he fought against people from the Ming Group several times, the helplessness of being in a desperate situation has made him stronger. The belief becomes more urgent.
However, he is now at the bottleneck of cultivation. His spiritual power and soul power have reached the ninth realm at the same time. At this important transition moment, he has been stalled for a long time.
Of course, with Qin Shi's current methods, if he really wanted to force a breakthrough and jump directly to the Heavenly Peak Realm or the Curse Peak Realm, he would have at least a dozen ways, and he would be 80% sure of completing the breakthrough.
However, this method of overthrowing the seedlings is a taboo in the journey of cultivation. The practice of Wujiazi refers to this point. Qin Shi only spent seven years from the humble spirit quenching realm in a small town to the current level. The Heavenly Peak Realm is already a miracle among miracles, and he doesn't want to ruin the rest of his cultivation path by making a wrong move.
After all, there are too many burdens on his shoulders that cannot be let go.
It is also true that if he wants to become stronger while still at the end of his cultivation, then this sect master's inheritance becomes his best choice at the moment.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "How long until this annual disciple competition?"
"How long? Let me think about it, it should be less than half a year."
"Half a year?" Qin Shi's black eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "That's enough."
He felt that there was still a certain gap between him and Su Yu now, and the perfection of the realm was a height that he could never surpass.
However, he is confident that he can break through this barrier in half a year.
Haoyue knew Qin Shi well, and couldn't help twitching her lips when she looked at Qin Shi's appearance: "Haha, if your kid pays attention to it, it seems that this year's annual disciple competition is going to be really interesting."
Qin Shi shrugged in acquiescence.
In this way, the four of them walked all the way back to the disciples' dormitory while chatting and admiring their eyes.
After entering the dormitory, Yu Yue immediately waved to the three of them impatiently: "Okay, brothers, I won't accompany you anymore."
Haoyue teased: "Hey, what, you have a wife and don't want brothers? How long have you been away for just now? You can't wait to go back to accompany your little wife?"
Yuyue's face immediately turned red and she glared at Haoyue: "Don't talk nonsense! Today is Qing'er's public holiday. She has to go back to heal her sister's injuries. I'm not worried about her going back as a girl."
"Okay, okay, if you want to accompany her, just say you will accompany her. Why are you looking for such a high-sounding reason? We are all men, we understand...!" Haoyue's strange voice made Xu Qingfeng next to him laugh.
But when the two of them were joking, Qin Shi acted very seriously. He suddenly said: "Okay, stop making trouble." Immediately, he asked Yu Yue seriously: "Yu Yue, tell me, Qing'er Li Zong wants to heal her sister's injuries today?"
"Oh, yes."
Qin Shi suddenly said: "I'm with you."
"What?" Yu Yue was stunned.
Haoyue and Xu Qingfeng also looked at each other in surprise, and Haoyue said: "Shitou, no, why didn't you realize that you are such a charming person? It's rare for young couples to be alone together and live a happy life. In the human world, why do you still have to get involved?"
Qin Shi glared at Haoyue, but did not argue with Haoyue. The issue of Qing'er's sister had always been a hurdle in his heart. He always felt that it was probably related to the Ming Group, even if it had nothing to do with the Ming Group. It was related to the evil spirit, he had to figure it out.
Yuyue was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but become serious. He rarely saw Qin Shi so serious, and he was not what Haoyue said. He really just wanted to protect Qing'er. If Qin Shi could accompany him, then It couldn't be better.
So he agreed: "Okay, then I will pick up Qing'er first."
"No need."
Qin Shi waved his hand, and immediately he grabbed Yu Yue's shoulders, followed by a cyan-purple light suddenly rising from under his feet, and leaped towards the women's dormitory in the direction of a shocking thunder.
