A dying man …
Qin Yu stood in the same spot for a long time, unable to regain his senses. Because he did not light up the lamp, he was a dying man?
What was this?
Wait a minute …
Using karma as the core, could it be … because he did not have any karma?
Could it be because the previous owner of this body had died, so he did not have any karma and could not light up the Karma Lamp?
Was that why he was mistaken as a dying man?
Recalling the gazes of Zhao Yan and Ling Zhong, Qin Yu was even more certain. He did not know whether to laugh or cry in his heart. Wang Qing had nothing better to do, coming up with this Karma Lamp.
Helpless, Qin Yu could only return to the remote house. It was useless to say anything now, he could only wait for Master Huang Ting to return. Before that, he would cultivate for a period of time.
Just like that, Qin Yu seemed to have been forgotten by everyone for a few days. If one day there was news of Qin Yu suddenly dying in the house, no one would be surprised.
In these few days, Qin Yu was also happy to study the Earth Fire in the house.
"The flame is dark and contains a considerable amount of poison … Could this be the Swamp Fire of the Earth Fire?" Qin Yu raised his right hand and a dark flame floated in his palm.
He didn't know why, but this Earth Fire seemed to be ownerless. Qin Yu's mind fused into it and he was able to easily collect it. He guessed that this was likely related to the Nirvana Seed.
"Strange, this Swamp Fire is different from the one recorded in the ancient books. Normally, the Swamp Fire is dim and lightless, but it should not be to this extent.
He had no idea where Wang Ping had obtained this Swamp Fire.
Not only is its color darker, its poison is also much stronger than ordinary Swamp Fire. "
Qin Yu touched the Swamp Fire with his left hand and a smile appeared on his face. He did not expect Cui Shuo to give him such a great opportunity.
Qin Yu controlled the Swamp Fire with his consciousness and the Swamp Fire changed according to Qin Yu's thoughts.
"Let's go to the library and see if there are any books on controlling Earth Fire."
Qin Yu thought to himself. If he could make good use of this Earth Fire, it might become one of his trump cards.
Immediately, Qin Yu got up and left the house. He looked at the mountain range that was surrounded by clouds and mist. He could vaguely see many birds playing in the air. This made Qin Yu feel absent-minded, as though he had returned to the Tianqi Sect.
Qin Yu brushed away his thoughts and left along the small path. Judging from the topography, the layout of Manjoo Zhanmu was very similar to that of the Tianqi Sect. If he guessed correctly, the library should be in the middle of the four peaks.
On the main path of the Yellow Character Vein, many disciples were discussing something in groups.
"Did you hear that? That Su Lin actually stepped into the 3rd level of the Martial Realm from a mortal in just half a month. At this speed, he will definitely step into the Aura Qi Realm within half a year."
"This is nothing. After he starts practicing swordsmanship, his understanding of swordsmanship will be incomparable to that of ordinary people. He can even easily enter the Sword Realm that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Comparisons are odious. "
"What's the big deal?
After all, it's hard to find a Natural Sword Body in a hundred years. "
"By the way, have you heard the news?
Because Old Deacon Li of the library is nearing the end of his life, he has stepped down from his position. I wonder which disciple will become one of the four deacons of the library this time. "
"The deacon assessment of the library is too abnormal. I heard that the difficulty is no less than that of the deacon assessment of the Tianqi Sect. I don't know why it's so strict."
"It would be strange if it's not strict. You should know that the library has a very high status in the sect. The Pavilion Master alone can be on an equal footing with the head of a sect, second only to the Sect Master. I'm afraid that among all the sects, the library of Manjoo Zhanmu has the highest status."
"This time, the most likely candidate to become one of the four deacons of the library should be Chu Yuechan, who is ranked eighteenth on the Tianqi Sect's Genius List, right?"
Qin Yu walked on the main road and listened to the discussions of the groups of disciples passing by. His heart was very complicated. Perhaps to this day, only Qin Yu knew why the library had such a high status. Based on Wang Qing's character in the past, he was reminiscing about himself.
Of Qin Yu's two children, Wang Qing had a simple and honest temperament. He was not good with words, but he valued friendship and righteousness. As for Qing Xu, he was quick-witted, but his personality was stubborn and he had a stubborn heart. A person like him would either achieve nothing, or he would shock the ancients and dazzle the contemporaries. However, Qin Yu hadn't seen any records of Qing Xu in the Qin Family's library.
As he pondered, he recalled the structure of the Tianqi Sect. After a series of inquiries, Qin Yu arrived at the library.
Just as Qin Yu had guessed, the structure of Manjoo Zhanmu was exactly the same as that of the Tianqi Sect. The library was located on the mountainside of a mountain in the middle of the four sects and had a total of seven floors.
When Qin Yu arrived, the library was already crowded. Hundreds and thousands of disciples had gathered in front of the library and were discussing animatedly.
"This is too abnormal. There are at least eight thousand books recorded in this stone tablet, if not ten thousand. In the short time it takes to burn a stick of incense, at least three thousand ancient books have to be memorized before one is qualified to challenge the next test."
"How good is one's memory to do this?
Moreover, this is only the first test … I don't know why the deacon of the library is so strict. "
"In the entire Manjoo Zhanmu, there are only a few people who can pass the first test, let alone the second test, which is even more abnormal."
Qin Yu stood outside the crowd and turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him. His eyes were blurred as he looked at the familiar library. Scenes of the past in the Tianqi Sect quickly flashed through Qin Yu's mind. In a trance, Qin Yu thought that he had returned to the Tianqi Sect, to the place that brought him endless glory and despair.
His gaze slowly looked up at the mountain peak that disappeared into the sea of clouds. That place … he wondered if it was still the same as before.
Just as Qin Yu was immersed in his thoughts, a cold voice suddenly exploded in his ears, "It's you?
How dare you come to Manjoo Zhanmu? "
Qin Yu's eyes were clear as he looked at the angry young man standing in front of him. His expression froze. Who else could this young man be other than Manjoo Zhanmu's disciple, Zhang Wei, who wanted to steal the wolf cub in the Beast Burial Ground?
Without waiting for Qin Yu to answer, Zhang Wei directly pulled a burly disciple next to him and said angrily, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's him. He's the one who stole the wolf king's cub that I wanted to give to you in the Beast Burial Ground."
That disciple surnamed Zhao stared fiercely at Qin Yu and sized him up for a while. He said coldly, "You're the one who stole my wolf king's cub?"
Qin Yu sneered in his heart and said, "Fellow Daoist, let's not talk about the wolf king's kindness to me. Even if it wasn't, that wolf cub is an ownerless thing. How can you say that I stole the wolf king's cub?"
"How dare you quibble!
Hand over the cub.
Otherwise, I'll see you at the place of the duel. "The young man surnamed Zhao glared at him and said sternly.
The place of the duel was the place where the disciples of Manjoo Zhanmu settled their disputes.
"Sorry, I've already given the wolf cub away."
Qin Yu smiled indifferently. After saying that, he walked around the two people and walked toward the library. This young man surnamed Zhao was at the late stage of Gang Qi cultivation, so Qin Yu didn't take him seriously.
"Stop right there!" The young man surnamed Zhao shouted and directly reached out to grab Qin Yu's shoulder.
Qin Yu suddenly turned around and blasted out two punches with lightning speed. The fierce force forced the young man surnamed Zhao back dozens of steps.
"You … you …" The young man surnamed Zhao forcibly stabilized his body. He felt the blood and Qi in his body boil, and he almost spat out blood. He looked at Qin Yu in horror. He didn't expect Qin Yu to have such strength.
"Who's making trouble at the library?"
A cold voice suddenly exploded, attracting the attention of all the disciples gathered here. A man in black walked out from the crowd and glanced at Qin Yu and the young man surnamed Zhao with a gloomy face.
"Deacon Li, this person stole my Rank 4 Wolf King's cub. Please uphold justice for Zhao Zhenyuan." The young man surnamed Zhao pretended to be calm and said loudly.
"Zhao Zhenyuan?
The younger brother of Zhao Zhenyuan, the 11th on the Prodigy List, Zhao Fengyun? "
"The younger brother of Zhao Fengyun, the fifth generation prodigy of the Earth bloodline."
A disciple exclaimed and looked at Qin Yu with a hint of playfulness.
"Isn't this person the new disciple who didn't light the Karmic Lamp?"
"So he's the one who's going to die these days?
Looks like the rumors are coming true. This person actually dared to steal Zhao Fengyun's little brother's cub. Isn't he courting death? "A disciple couldn't help but say.
Zhao Zhenyuan enjoyed the respectful gazes of the other disciples. He stared at Qin Yu with ridicule. These days, he had indeed heard some people say that there was no one with a Karmic Lamp among the new disciples. But he didn't expect it to be this person who had stolen the cub that should have belonged to him.
Ever since the founding ancestor had established the sect, there weren't many people who didn't light the Karmic Lamp. But these people all died miserably within three years. He didn't expect that there would be another new disciple who didn't light the Karmic Lamp. And now, this new disciple had offended Zhao Fengyun's little brother a few days after entering the sect. It was likely that the rumors were true. This person wouldn't live past three years.
Deacon Li's face was still gloomy. He glanced at Qin Yu and said, "You stole his cub?"
Qin Yu's expression didn't change as he said, "In the past, I encountered a young beast in the Beast Burial Ground, and this senior-apprentice brother just happened to take a fancy to it. So, we fought and I won, so I took away the young beast. Deacon Li, may I ask if this counts as me stealing his young beast?" As Qin Yu spoke, he pointed at the youth, his tone neither haughty nor humble.
"So that's how it is. You're not as strong as others and didn't win, but you're blaming this new disciple for stealing his cub?
An ownerless object, only those with strength can get it. This is fighting, not stealing! "A disciple couldn't stand it and said with contempt.
"You … I was the one who saw it first." The young man retorted with a flushed face.
Qin Yu didn't bother to refute and just looked at Deacon Li.
Deacon Li frowned. According to what Qin Yu said, how could this be called stealing?
It was inevitable for an ownerless object to be fought over, and those who were strong were naturally qualified to obtain it. Immediately, Deacon Li glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan and said, "You're in the wrong here, so stop!
If anyone dares to fight in the sect, they will be punished according to the sect rules. "
Zhao Zhenyuan didn't expect Deacon Li to stand on Qin Yu's side. This made him feel embarrassed. He coldly stared at Qin Yu and shouted, "If you don't hand over the cub, in three days, I, Zhao Zhenyuan, will challenge you at the location of the final battle!
Since you're a dying man, I'll let bygones be bygones if you hand over the cub. "
"A dying man is no longer a man?
Does he have no dignity?
Since you want to fight, then there's no better day than today. "
Qin Yu pretended to be angry out of humiliation, but in his heart, he was thinking about whether the combination of the Rumbling Heaven Fist and the power of Profound Thunder could instantly defeat Zhao Zhenyuan.
The surrounding disciples were in an uproar. They didn't expect Qin Yu to really dare to accept the challenge. Moreover … the mournful grievance of the words "dying man" moved everyone's heart. Even Deacon Li couldn't bear to look at Qin Yu.
"Could it be that Zhao Fengyun's younger brother can bully a new disciple at the initial stage of Gang Qi?" A cold voice sounded.
