"Directly surpassed first place?"
Thousands of shocked gazes gathered and their bodies trembled in disbelief.
The black flame finally stopped about twenty meters above Xiaomi's rainbow.
The two elders guarding the pagoda frowned, "This power has already touched the second lightning calamity?"
"Haha, as expected of Imperial Preceptor Xue's descendant. Not bad, not bad."
Yu Qing patted Xue Bin in satisfaction and said, "Stay behind and be with them. Do your best and don't embarrass your father!"
"I will remember Elder Yu Qing's teachings."
Xue Bin was neither humble nor arrogant as he had a faint smile on his face, causing Qin Shi to frown.
"Seems like a formidable opponent has appeared."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly. After Xue Bin broke Xiao Mi Cai's record, the previous seven became eight. The two elders prepared guest rooms for the eight of them. Qin Shi, Nangong Bing and Taishi Tinghua greeted each other before following the two elders towards the place where the sky and water met.
The grandeur of the Mystical Hall was far from what an ordinary city could compare to. Even if they flew into the sky and burrowed into the ground, the journey to the guest rooms took a full hour.
On the way, Xiao Mi Cai came to Qin Shi's side, "Daddy, why didn't you use your full strength during the spirit test?"
"It's just a title, why fight for it?" Qin Shi stroked Xiao Mi Cai's hair lightly.
Xiao Mi Cai didn't think so and shook her head, "Daddy, if you use your full strength, you should be able to surpass that Xue Bin, right?"
When Xue Bin was mentioned, Qin Shi's expression turned solemn. He immediately calculated in his mind and denied helplessly, "No, if I don't use the Wraith Sign, I won't be his match."
"That means if you use the Wraith Sign, daddy will be able to defeat him?"
"Not necessarily, he is very strong."
Qin Shi shook his head and looked at Xue Bin with a hint of solemnity and fear. This fear wasn't only because of Xue Bin's cultivation but also his temperament.
This Xue Bin was not a clown like Yan Feng. Just from his words and actions, one could tell that this person was extremely shrewd.
Furthermore, there was a scene that perhaps no one else had noticed, but Qin Shi had firmly engraved it in his heart. It was the calm expression on Xue Bin's face during the Spirit Test just now. If there were no accidents, he should still have some strength left.
"Seems like this is going to be a little troublesome."
An hour later, everyone arrived at the mouth of the cliff at the southern corner of the Mystical Palace. This was the place where the disciples of the Mystical Palace usually practiced. Rows of rooms made of Upper Spiritual Stones were spread out on both sides.
Feeling the spiritual power of the Chaotic Bath, Qin Shi couldn't help but exclaim, "What a great investment. Practicing in such a place, even if you are sleeping, as long as you are breathing, you will be able to absorb spiritual power automatically. No wonder the cultivation of the disciples of the Mystical Palace is so much higher than those of the same age. If there is a chance in the future, when I return to the Qin family, I must get one for my family."
"Alright, for the next few days, all of you can rest here. The first three levels of the Scripture Depository of the Mystical Palace will be open to all of you. When you are free, you can go there and take a look. Any one of the books is guaranteed to be a treasure in the outside world." The Elder of the Mystical Palace waved his sleeves and said to the eight of them before he stood up and left.
Hearing that, many people happily went to the Scripture Depository. The Scripture Depository of the Mystical Palace was a place that many people dreamed of. Xiao Mi Cai gritted her teeth and was also a little tempted. Ever since she transformed into a human, she had never practiced any martial arts. Therefore, she looked at Qin Shi pitifully.
"Daddy, I also want to go and take a look!"
Turning around, Qin Shi thought for a moment. It was fine to let Xiao Mi Cai take a look. A martial art would be of great use in a real battle. Therefore, he agreed, "Alright, go. But remember, don't cause any trouble."
"Really?
Daddy is the best? "
Xiao Mi Cai was so excited that she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Shi. Then, she turned into a colorful butterfly and leaped towards the Scripture Depository.
Touching the kiss mark on his cheek, Qin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Perhaps the Scripture Depository of the Mystical Palace was incomparably precious to others. However, to Qin Shi who possessed the Divine Character Formula, Demonic Spirit Illumination, Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique, Sweet Pouring Rain Technique, and Great Relic Technique, it wasn't tempting at all. Any one of the five great martial arts was something that everyone would fight over. There were specializations in every field, and he understood the logic of biting off more than he could chew.
Now, his strongest enemy was Xue Bin. Xue Bin was born in a family of monarchs and generals. Naturally, there was nothing to say about the martial arts that he practiced. Therefore, it was obviously impossible for him to win in martial arts.
"Seems like these seven days are very crucial."
With a long sigh, the crowd dispersed. Qin Shi suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze behind him. He turned around and saw a lady in green glaring at him fiercely.
"Hehe, why didn't you go to the Scripture Depository?" He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Tsk, the martial arts in the Scripture Depository?
I'm not interested in it! "
The lady in green pouted her lips arrogantly. Then, she grabbed Qin Shi's sleeve and said, "Hmph, you are Shi Shi Qin, right?
I let you escape last time. Now that I've caught you, how are you going to make it up to me? "
"Did I escape last time?" Qin Shi said innocently.
"Are you going to say it again? I don't know what kind of curse that little demoness used on my Gu Gu. My Gu Gu still doesn't dare to come out!" The lady in green said angrily.
Looking at the cute look of the lady in green, Qin Shi smiled. What a joke. Xiao Mi Cai was a Seven-colored Auspicious Cloud Snake on the Divine List. The pressure of her bloodline would take at least seven days to half a month for Gu Gu to recover.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing, I'm not laughing. Then, tell me, how do you want me to make it up to you?"
Qin Shi held back his laughter and said seriously. He was still a little curious about the lady in green, especially that inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Especially that inexplicable sense of familiarity. Where had he seen it before?
"Hmm … Let me think."
The lady in green thought for a while and had an idea. "How about this, accompany me to eat. I heard that the canteen of the Mystical Temple has a lot of delicacies!"
"I didn't expect you to be a foodie."
"Do you agree?" The lady in green pouted and said angrily.
Thinking about it, she hadn't eaten for a long time. Ever since she started cultivating, she had been fasting all year round. It wasn't a bad idea to go out once in a while.
Therefore, Qin Shi nodded and said, "Alright, let's go."
After getting the confirmation, the lady in green was satisfied and let go of Qin Shi. The two of them walked along the clouds of the Mystical Temple.
Along the way, Qin Shi couldn't help but look at the lady in green, causing her to blush. She rebuked, "Hey, don't you know it's rude to stare at a girl like that?"
"Sorry."
Qin Shi hurriedly came back to his senses. He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet. Shouldn't you introduce yourself?"
"That's true. I'm not as famous as you. I just came to the Mystical Temple and everyone knows me." The lady in green nodded and thought for a while. "You can just call me Little Qing."
"Little … Little Qing?"
Pausing for a moment, Qin Shi's face was full of black lines.
He thought that he could trick this little girl into revealing her background. Who would have thought that she would easily push the question back to Qin Shi?
Helplessly, Qin Shi didn't ask much. Staring at the familiar face, he couldn't help but say, "Little Qing, have we met before?"
"Hmm?"
Little Qing suddenly blushed and glared at Qin Shi with her beautiful eyes.
Curling his lips, Qin Shi said, "What do you mean?"
"Do you always use such an old-fashioned way to hit on girls?"
For a moment, Qin Shi was speechless.
Okay, where is this? My feelings are mistaken as harassment. Dumbfounded, I don't know what to do. Otherwise, if I'm regarded as a pervert, I won't be able to explain myself.
After a moment of silence, the two arrived at the canteen of the Mystical Temple.
Just in time for the night, the canteen was crowded. Tens of thousands of disciples of the Mystical Temple were making a lot of noise, which could be heard clearly outside the door.
As soon as the two entered, they attracted the attention of many disciples of the Mystical Temple, but most of them were looking at Little Qing. Although Little Qing's appearance couldn't be said to be devastatingly beautiful, it was more than enough to put flowers to shame.
"Yo, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful girl among the participants this time."
"Look at her figure, it's so sexy."
The disciples of the Mystic Palace were discussing non-stop, and they would whistle at Little Qing from time to time without any scruples.
Qin Shi couldn't help but say, "Haha, I should have guessed it. Following a beauty to provide food is always troublesome."
"That's an honor for you!" Little Qing pouted.
Under the gazes of the crowd, a burly man walked up. The disciples beside him didn't dare to act rashly and revealed fearful respect.
"Senior Brother Feng Peng?"
"This time, this kid is in trouble. Senior Brother Feng Peng has never failed to get a girl he likes. I hope Senior Brother Feng Peng can go easy on him and not affect his participation."
"Haha, so what if he participates or not?
The eight people who were at least at the first stage were all brought to a side room to rest. Those who came here are definitely at the second stage or below, and looking at how poor they are, they definitely aren't from any large family clans. They probably just barely made it past the qualifying line. Even I was able to make it past that, let alone Senior Brother Feng Peng. If it was Senior Brother Feng Peng, he would at least be able to reach the second stage, right? "
"Of course, he just broke through to Middle Stage Cryptic Spirit Realm not long ago."
Enjoying the discussion around him, Feng Peng blocked the two's path and said with a smirk, "Kid, you should know what I'm doing, right?
Bringing such a beautiful girl to the cafeteria, are you purposely sharing her with us? "
Tilting his head, Qin Shi looked around before his gaze finally landed on the burly man. "That's fine. There's too much trouble, so I need a mark. Are you ready?"
"Hmm?" The burly man was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly. "Haha, you want to make an example out of me?
Brothers, did you hear that?
He wants to make an example out of me! "
"This kid doesn't want to live, does he?"
"Interesting, does he not know where he is?
This is Mystic … "
Bang!
As the discussion continued, it was interrupted by a loud bang. When they raised their heads again, Feng Peng had already been sent flying. Qin Shi clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Not bad, it looks like the chicken this time has some weight. I should be able to eat dinner in peace."
"Gulp …" Everyone gulped.
Little Qing giggled and held Qin Shi's arm. "Shi Qin … What are we eating?"
Little Qing deliberately dragged out the two words' Shi Qin '. Immediately, everyone in the cafeteria stood up and stared at Qin Shi in shock. "He, he is Shi Qin?
Damn it, let's go! "
After a while, all the disrespectful disciples of the Mystic Palace disappeared in a flash, leaving the cafeteria that could accommodate tens of thousands of people empty.
"Haha, did you reserve the whole place?"
Staring at him, Qin Shi couldn't help but laugh. He didn't understand why the people of the Mystic Palace looked like they had seen a ghost when they heard his name. Was it really because of his appearance?
"Forget it, it's quiet."
Shaking his head, he and Little Qing sat down. He had to say that the food in the Mystic Palace was really good. Qin Shi had never heard of some of the delicacies.
Moreover, the food here was different from ordinary restaurants. Most of it was cooked with the flesh of wild beasts. Not only was it smooth and refreshing, but it also had the magical effect of improving one's cultivation.
After a good meal, the two swaggered away.
Along the way, Little Qing patted her lower abdomen and said with satisfaction, "I'm full. It's really comfortable. Sister, as a great person, will not hold a grudge against you for what happened last time. I won't argue with you anymore!"
Hearing this, Qin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this time, the two had already approached the wing room. When they were about to land, he suddenly frowned, grabbed Little Qing's waist, and hid in a dark corner in the distance.
"Hey …!"
"Don't make a sound!"
Qin Shi scolded sternly and immediately poked his head out vigilantly. He saw that in the guest room prepared for him by the Mystic Palace, a man in black pushed the door open and came out.
