Seeking Immortality

Under the bright sunshine, Ting'er's quiet and beautiful face looks even brighter than the scorching sun. From a distance, she looks like an earthly fairy, but up close, she makes people forget to breathe.

After the elder as the referee announced the start of Ting'er's competition, Ting'er came to the stage with the support of a group of Jiuhua female disciples. Then, amidst the cheers of a group of "sparrows", Ting'er silently walked onto the stone But her opponent has been waiting for a long time.

This disciple of Tian Qinglin has a pretty good reputation. Although his expression was a little dull after Ting'er approached, at least he didn't just stare at Ting'er like some of the disciples in the audience. At least he can still be used. He greeted Ting'er in a normal tone. Although he was stumbling when he spoke, at least it was within the normal range.

Under Xu Qingfan's guidance over the years, although Ting'er's temperament is still weird and cold, she has at least become as polite as Xu Qingfan. After taking the stage, she bowed slightly to Elder Jiuhua as the referee and Tian Qinglin as the opponent. , and until then, Tian Qinglin, who originally seemed very calm, realized that the old man standing next to him was actually the elder Jiuhua, and he followed Ting'er and quickly bowed to him, making everyone else shake their heads.

All the Jiuhua elders knew Ting'er's origin very well, so after seeing Ting'er on the stage, they all focused their attention on the No. 10 stone platform. Coupled with the sensation caused by Ting'er's beauty, under the No. 10 stone platform The crowd was also dense for a while, as if the focus of the entire Jiuhua was on Stone Platform No. 10. But a better sensation is yet to come.

When the elder announced the start of the competition, Tian Qinglin's disciple just wanted to say a few polite words. It is almost always better to use more polite words with a beauty like Ting'er. It's a pity that Ting'er, who doesn't know what politeness is, has already taken action first.

However, Ting'er still kept Xu Qingfan's arrangements in mind, so she didn't use all her strength when taking action. She just stretched out a white finger and pointed it at Tian Qinglin, who was still chattering in front of her. A tiny wisp of black inflammation suddenly emerged from the tips of Ting'er's fingers, and then headed towards Tian Qing and Lin Liao.

Tian Qinglin's reflexes were pretty good. After seeing Ting'er take action, he immediately shut his mouth. His body retreated sharply, and at the same time, a protective shield glowing with golden light suddenly appeared around his body, although it was not a brilliant Taoist technique. But in Tian Qinglin's view, although the black flame looked strange, it was only a small wisp and would not have any power at all, so a small protective shield was enough.

Although Tian Qinglin retreated very quickly, Ting'er's wisp of black flames moved even faster, and it reached Tian Qinglin in a blink of an eye. However, the fact seemed to be as Tian Qinglin thought before, the number of this wisp of black flames was so small. . The power is indeed not great, and it is blocked by his protective shield within three feet of his body.

Seeing such a scene, Tian Qinglin just wanted to smile smartly and say something very personal to show how gentle and powerful he is. He is actually the most suitable pair of monks among the nearly two thousand monks in Jiuhua Mountain. But unfortunately, the smile on his face disappeared immediately after it appeared.

Because he suddenly appeared. The spiritual energy he needed to maintain his external protective shield was suddenly increasing rapidly. In an instant, it grew to a level that could not be ignored. But Ting'er's inconspicuous black flame, after being blocked by his protective shield, did not disappear as he had imagined before. Instead, it continued to burn outside the protective shield, and became more and more powerful. , it was just a thin flame, as if it would be extinguished by the breeze, but now it has turned into a black fireball the size of a bowl. It was burning outside his body. And it’s getting bigger.

"This black flame is actually burning my protective shield."

Tian Qinglin looked at these changes. I thought in horror.

At this time, Tian Qinglin only felt that his aura was like the dead grass on the autumn grassland, while Ting'er's black flame was an inconspicuous spark. Although it was small, it could set off a prairie fire and burn the dry grass on the grassland. Clean.

After discovering that this kind of black fire can burn spiritual energy to strengthen himself, Tian Qinglin immediately fell into a dilemma. If he wanted to continue to maintain the protective shield outside his body, it would be equivalent to providing energy to the black fire, allowing it to continue to grow until it was easy to The ground burned him to death, but if the protective shield was removed, the black flames could immediately attack him without any hindrance.

While Tian Qinglin was hesitating, the black flame outside his body was getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a majestic fire, surrounding his entire body and burning fiercely.

At the same time, Ting'er did not take advantage of the situation, but stood quietly on the other side of the stone platform, silently watching Tian Qinglin's scene.

After a long time, Ting'er suddenly moved her hands, and the flames that were burning fiercely outside Tian Qinglin's body suddenly turned into a small and fine black flame again, and returned to Ting'er's body. But if you look closely, you will find that this black flame is darker than when Ting'er first emerged.

Looking at the other side, Tian Qinglin had fallen to the ground and could no longer stand up. Ting'er's inconspicuous black flame just now consumed all the spiritual energy in his body in such a short period of time! !

"In the third game, Xu Yuting won."

The elder who was the referee on the sidelines glanced at Ting'er in surprise, and then announced loudly.

After hearing the elder's announcement, Ting'er bowed slightly to the two people on the stage again, and then left quietly as she had come. But the Jiuhua disciples watching from the audience looked at Ting'er with a very different look at this time.

It was not until Ting'er walked back to the Jiuhua female disciples that the Jiuhua disciples woke up from their shock, and waves of uproar resounded through the front mountain of Jiuhua.

If the Jiuhua disciples were intoxicated and amazed when they saw Ting'er just now, then when they looked at Ting'er at this time, their eyes were already filled with shock and disbelief.

Where is the limit of a woman's beauty? It exists or not, but at least Ting'er has not reached that limit of beauty, but after being transformed by the magic bead, Ting'er has a very powerful and charming stunning beauty. Those who have not reached the stage of Jindan cultivation will be confused by Ting'er's charm after seeing her, although all this is not deliberately done by Ting'er.

But at this time. As Ting'er showed her strength, even the Jiuhua disciples who were obsessed with her could not help but clear their minds, and the thoughts in their minds began to change from "how beautiful is she" to "how strong is she".

The black flame just now. Even a fool can see that Ting'er is far from using her full strength. If she uses her full strength, how powerful will it be? When facing this kind of black flame attack, do you have a countermeasure?

This is what the disciples are thinking at this time.

Of course. With her beautiful appearance, impeccable temperament, and great strength, Ting'er is like the perfect incarnation of the world in everyone's eyes. After Ting'er showed her strength, after making some people sober and discouraged, it also made another part of people start to be obsessed with Ting'er, or even more obsessed. But no one dared to go over and chat with her like when Ting'er just appeared.

At this time, on the main stage. All the elders were surprised. Lu Qingshang suddenly turned to Xu Qingfan and said, "Junior Brother Xu, your niece is really amazing. Maybe she will be more successful than Feng Qingtian in the future."

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded.

But Jin Qinghan suddenly said, "Ting'er is very strong and is improving too fast." While speaking, his eyes showed a look of vigilance.

Xu Qingfan knew that since he knew about the grudge between Ting'er and himself, Jin Qinghan had been worried that Ting'er would harm him. Now that he saw Ting'er's strength, his vigilance would only deepen.

He sighed secretly. There was nothing he could do about it. Because Xu Qingfan couldn't tell why Ting'er treated him at this time. It seemed that she was three points friendly and three points attached, but the remaining four points were confusion and hatred.

"At least it's much better than when she first came to Jiuhua Mountain and wanted to seek revenge on me. Change slowly. Time can heal everything."

Looking at Ting'er surrounded by a group of female disciples. Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

After all the competitions on the first day were over, Xu Qingfan led Ting'er to fly to the back mountain. Only a mountain of Jiuhua disciples who were at a loss were left.

"How do you feel?" Xu Qingfan asked with a smile.

Unlike when she came, Ting'er did not fly with "Wanliyun" at this time, but stood on the auspicious cloud transformed by Xu Qingfan, standing side by side with Xu Qingfan.

"It's okay, but the opponent is too weak."

Ting'er answered softly.

Xu Qingfan nodded gently. In fact, Ting'er's opponent today was not weak. He had initially reached the realm of the Spiritual Silence Period, but in front of Ting'er, he had no power to fight back.

Looking at Ting'er's cold face, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that Ting'er had grown up.

"Ting'er." Xu Qingfan suddenly said.

Ting'er turned to look at Xu Qingfan in confusion.

But Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "If you don't meet any opponent in this internal competition, then I will compete with you after the internal competition."

Ting'er's eyes flashed with a very complicated color, and then she nodded gently.

During the conversation, it was very plain. But it was more real. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the backs of Xu Qingfan and Ting'er until the two backs disappeared in the shade of the trees on the back mountain of Jiuhua.

In the next three days of group competition, just as Xu Qingfan imagined, Ting'er didn't meet any opponent at all. Every time she went on the field to compete, she just stretched out her hand and pointed, and then quietly waited for the opponent's spiritual energy to run out, and then the competition ended.

In four consecutive competitions, Ting'er won effortlessly, and coupled with her beauty and temperament that made people forget to breathe, she was very popular for a while, far better than Feng Qingtian a century ago. Nearly half of the male disciples of Jiuhua Mountain became her supporters. Whenever Ting'er took action, there would be a large crowd under the No. 10 stone platform, while the other fifteen stone platforms were sparsely populated.

When the Jiuhua people discussed again who would win the championship in this internal competition, Ting'er's voice was also the highest. ,

In this way, Ting'er easily appeared from the No. 10 stone platform and entered the semi-finals, and then defeated her opponent again to enter the quarterfinals. It was not until then that Ting'er encountered some troubles.

Ting'er's opponent this time, Xu Qingfan, had also seen it before. It was the young man Deng Yuquan who had fought with Li Qinglan in the back mountain before. At this time, he had reached the realm of the Spiritual Silence Period. With a bit of tenacity, he had defeated many opponents who were stronger than him before.

When Ting'er met him this time, she stretched out her hand and pointed, attacking with a ray of black flames, just like before. This was Ting'er's trick that had never failed before.

Although Deng Yuquan tried his best to dodge, Ting'er's control over Taoism was simply superb, and he was eventually burned by the black flame. Deng Yuquan was indeed a young man who was treated differently by Xu Qingfan. After being burned by the black flame, he ignored the black flame that was constantly burning his protective shield and attacked Ting'er directly. He wanted to defeat Ting'er before the black flame burned out his spiritual energy. In the end, he used the method of self-detonation of spiritual energy to disperse the black flame surrounding his body without caring whether his body would be injured. Xu Qingfan looked at him and shook his head. Obviously, this guy didn't listen to any of Xu Qingfan's teachings to him.

In the end, Deng Yuquan was defeated, but he was the only Jiuhua disciple who could defeat Ting'er by other means besides the black flame, and he won a lot of reputation for a while.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Qingfan passed the assessment of the three colleges under his jurisdiction safely. Although only one disciple from the Third Academy entered the semifinals, four of the eight Jiuhua disciples who entered the semifinals were from the "Tianyuan". When the results came out, Gongsun Huasu and others looked a little unhappy.

Xu Qingfan didn't pay much attention to the semifinals and even the finals. Because the people who entered the semifinals were all well-known among the low-level disciples of Jiuhua, Xu Qingfan knew them all. After the initial worry, Xu Qingfan's mood has been calmed down. He also knows Ting'er's strength better. He believes that even if the other three are stronger, they will only cause more trouble to Ting'er. But they are still not Ting'er's opponents.

Moreover, during this period, Xu Qingfan has decided that after the internal competition, he will go down the mountain under the pretext of retreat. It has been nearly 30 years since Liu Huaxiang wrote him a suicide note, and the loss of the secret method has also shocked Xu Qingfan, so he decided to complete Liu Huaxiang's other two wishes as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes.

Although the loss of the secret method has not been resolved yet, because it concerns the head of the sect Zhang Hualing, Xu Qingfan did not dare to act rashly, but just secretly observed and waited for the next plan. After all, Zhang Hualing's secret practice of the secret method left by Liu Huaxiang was just Xu Qingfan's guess, and it was impossible to be sure. Whether Zhang Hualing used these secret methods to do something harmful to the world is even more debatable, so Xu Qingfan could not act rashly.

"The first place in this internal competition is Xu Yuting, a disciple of Deacon Xu."

Ten days later, when the internal competition was over, Zhang Hualing, who seemed to have become much younger, stood on the main stage and announced loudly.

As he spoke, Liu Huaxiang raised his right hand, and a bead with colorful light suddenly appeared in front of Ting'er under the main stage, floating quietly. It was the reward for the first place in this internal competition - "Xuan Lingzhu".

As Ting'er reached out and took the "Xuan Lingzhu", some cheers suddenly came from the Jiuhua disciples, but they were from some unstable Jiuhua disciples. As Zhang Hualing's words fell, the female disciples behind Ting'er gathered around Ting'er, chattering. After the internal competition, Ting'er seemed to have become familiar with them. Although she still had a cold expression and didn't like to talk, she was surrounded by the girls, and the loneliness between her figures faded a lot.

"Unconsciously, Ting'er has become so strong. And in this internal competition, it seems that she has made a lot of friends, but in this way, I don't have to worry too much about Ting'er after I go down the mountain."

Looking at Ting'er surrounded by the girls, Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

In this way, this Jiuhua Sect Competition ended with Ting'er's flying horse. From then on, all elders and disciples of Jiuhua Mountain remembered that Jiuhua Mountain had Ting'er, a talented person.

With the end of the sect competition, Xu Qingfan had nothing else to do and was about to leave Jiuhua Mountain for a while. But he didn't know what kind of things he would encounter, what kind of people he would meet, and what kind of changes he would experience after he left the mountain.
