Seeking Immortality

After Xu Qingfan defeated Dongfang Qingling, he finally entered the final 16 of this internal competition. Xu Qingfan's match was also the last one to end among several venues. So when Xu Qingfan won, the list of the top 16 was finally formed.

"Congratulations." When Xu Qingfan walked down the stone platform, Jin Qinghan had already been waiting there. When he saw Xu Qingfan coming, he bowed and said.

"Congratulations." Xu Qingfan also bowed and responded lightly. The reason why Xu Qingfan said this was because he knew that with Jin Qinghan's strength, it was absolutely certain to enter the top 16.

"There's nothing to be happy about, it's just that I entered the top 16." Jin Qinghan's voice was indifferent with a hint of arrogance.

"Then I should be happy to enter the top 16?" Xu Qingfan asked with a smile.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Jin Qinghan was speechless for a while. Then the two smiled at each other tacitly.

After a few words with Jin Qinghan, Xu Qingfan, who had been feeling a little depressed today because of the death of his senior brother Yue Qingru, seemed to feel much better for a while.

"Congratulations, congratulations to the two junior brothers for entering the top 16 of this internal competition." Just when Xu Qingfan was about to say something to Jin Qinghan, another voice suddenly came from behind him, deep and cheerful. Xu Qingfan turned around and saw a fat white man smiling and bowing to congratulate them.

This fat man has fair skin like a girl, and his wide figure makes him look even fatter, but he doesn't give people the slightest feeling of clumsiness. On the contrary, the faint power emanating from his body is even stronger because of his figure. The expression on his face is always smiling, so his eyes, which are not big to begin with, are narrowed into a line because of the smile, and are almost invisible. But it is precisely because his eyes are too small that people can't guess his real thoughts at this time from his eyes.

Seeing someone interrupting, Jin Qinghan couldn't help but frown. He was aloof by nature, and usually didn't bother to talk to anyone except Xu Qingfan. When he saw someone interrupting his conversation with Xu Qingfan uninvited, he was naturally unhappy.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, senior brother. It's just luck. May I ask who you are, senior brother..." Xu Qingfan saw Jin Qinghan's indifferent look with his eyes looking up at the sky, and knew that he could only rely on himself to deal with this fat white man, so he also bowed and responded politely.

"I am Bai Qingfu." The fat man smiled and said; "Because I often see the heroic figures of the two junior brothers in the competition these days, I unconsciously have the intention to make friends. I just passed by and saw the two of you talking, so I couldn't help but come over and talk to you. Please forgive me, junior brothers."

Speaking, Bai Qingfu bowed slightly to the two.

"Senior brother, you are too polite. It is normal for fellow disciples to have more contact." Xu Qingfan hurriedly returned the greeting.

Hearing what Bai Qingfu said, Jin Qinghan's expression also eased a little. Seeing Bai Qingfu bowing to him, he also bowed slightly in response.

"The two junior brothers have now entered the final 16. Do you know anything about the opponents you may face?" Bai Qingfu asked with concern.

"It's embarrassing to say that my junior brother Jin and I are both relatively withdrawn, and we don't have many friends in Jiuhua Sect. So we don't know much about the other fellow disciples in the top 16. Senior Brother Bai, do you know anything about these?" Xu Qingfan explained and asked in a calm tone.

To be honest, Xu Qingfan didn't care who his future opponents would be, but this was related to the revenge of his senior brother and the relics of his master, so Xu Qingfan still asked Bai Qingfu. And Jin Qinghan's expression became more focused after hearing Bai Qingfu's words.

"I also know a little about the fellow disciples who entered the top 16 in this internal competition." Bai Qingfu replied with a smile.

"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother Bai." Xu Qingfan bowed and said.

"Speaking of which, the internal competition of Jiuhua Sect this time is really exciting with many newcomers. According to many elders, the level of this internal competition is the highest they have seen in recent years." Bai Qingfu said with emotion.

Then, Bai Qingfu began to tell Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan one by one about the top 16 contestants of this internal competition. Several of them caught Xu Qingfan's attention.

The first one to bear the brunt was Feng Qingtian. Although there were many masters in this internal competition, this genius from the Jiuhua Feng family was still the most eye-catching one. After four competitions, his opponents, whether they were mediocre people in the middle stage of Qi Refining or masters in the late stage of Bigu, could not withstand his attack for a cup of tea. More importantly, in these four competitions, he did not use those powerful Taoist methods that only Feng family members could use. How strong is his current strength, and how much strength he has hidden in the first four games, all of this is still a mystery. Some people even firmly believe that Feng Qingtian's realm at this time has reached the terrifying spiritual silence period.

Under Feng Qingtian's dazzling halo, the only one who could compete with him was Jin Qinghan, who was now beside Xu Qingfan. As the other of the "Jiuhua Twins", Jin Qinghan's performance was no less impressive. In the first four games, he only used one Taoist method - "Golden Spirit Spear" to fight against the enemy, and each time he won was very easy. If there was anything that could stop Feng Qingtian from taking first place in this internal competition, it would be Jin Qinghan. He was the second favorite in this competition.

Compared to Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan's strength in the competition, a middle-aged man named Wang Qingjun was much more low-key. It seemed that he had to work hard to defeat his opponent in every game. Even in the first game against a Qi Refining opponent, he was the last to win except Xu Qingfan. But no matter whether it was a Qi Refining disciple or a master in the late stage of Bigu, he could barely win. After four games, everyone with a discerning eye knew that he had been hiding his strength. As for how strong he is, no one knows yet.

Next is Sheng Yushan, who has met Xu Qingfan once. He is the only "Yu" generation disciple who broke into the top 16 this time. Not only does he have the cultivation of the late stage of Bigu, but he also specializes in the magical powers of Taoism. His attack power is very amazing. He has cultivated two magical powers, "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Evil-Repelling Eye". As for whether he has cultivated other magical powers, it is still unknown.

What made Xu Qingfan laugh and cry was that he himself was also among the favorites to win the championship this time. The magical power he obtained from "The Art of Withering and Flourishing" is now generally considered a kind of Taoism. Because it is not only powerful but also looks gorgeous when used, it has become one of the most wanted Taoisms for young immortal cultivators. In addition, Xu Qingfan's strange and fast body movement, ordinary immortal cultivators in the Bigu period have no way to deal with his fast movement, let alone defeat him. Therefore, Xu Qingfan is also considered one of the favorites in this competition.

The last person that caught Xu Qingfan's attention was his brother-killing enemy Nangong Qingshan. This time, with Nangong Qingshan's cultivation level just reaching the middle stage of Bigu, he was able to defeat two fellow disciples in the late stage of Bigu in succession and break into the top 16. It was really surprising and was considered the biggest upset in this internal competition. Nangong Qingshan is now obviously favored by his master, Xu Hufa. In order to make Nangong Qingshan achieve good results in this internal competition, Xu Hufa even gave Nangong Qingshan two of his most proud magic weapons when he was young, "Dou Tian Wang" and "Qing Xuan San Thorns", which greatly increased his strength. These two magic weapons are also one of the important reasons why he can stand out from the crowd and break into the top 16 this time.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai, for your advice." After listening to Bai Qingfu's introduction, Xu Qingfan bowed to Bai Qingfu and thanked him.

"No need to thank me, it's just some well-known news, nothing big." Bai Qingfu waved his hand quickly, still smiling.

It must be said that Bai Qingfu's social skills are quite good. Although he came uninvited, he eliminated the vigilance of Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan with just a few words. Now even Jin Qinghan no longer hates him, and occasionally even takes the initiative to talk to him.

In this way, the three chatted for nearly half an hour in the square in front of Linghua Palace. Of course, because Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan were more or less eccentric, and Bai Qingfu was knowledgeable and seemed to know a lot of gossip, so it was usually Bai Qingfu who talked and Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan listened.

"Did Senior Brother Bai participate in the sect competition this time?" After chatting for a long time, Xu Qingfan asked unintentionally.

"Originally, I was too lazy to participate in this kind of competition, but the prize was tempting, so I couldn't help but participate." Bai Qingfu said with a smile, his expression was like Maitreya Buddha.

"How did Senior Brother Bai perform?" Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that things were not that simple, so he asked.

"Luckily made it to the final 16." Bai Qingfu still smiled and squinted his eyes when he answered, but it was impossible to see his real thoughts at this time.

Hearing Bai Qingfu's words, Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan were both shocked. They didn't expect that this fat and smiling Senior Brother Bai in front of them would also make it into the top 16. You should know that all the disciples who made it into the top 16 this time are the future elites of Jiuhuamen. The two of them couldn't help but use the "Sky Eye Technique" to observe Bai Qingfu, but the result surprised them. Bai Qingfu, who didn't have the demeanor of a master at all, had already reached the late stage of Bigu, and was even only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Spiritual Silence stage.

Just when Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan were about to ask Bai Qingfu for an explanation, they heard Bai Qingfu say with a smile: "I have something else to do later, so I won't delay you two junior brothers. See you in the top 16." As he said that, Bai Qingfu bowed to the two of them and turned to leave. His walking speed seemed slow but was actually fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into a forest on the mountainside.

"I can't see through this Senior Brother Bai." Looking at Bai Qingfu's departing back, Jin Qinghan frowned and said, "What exactly does he want to do by contacting us?"

"Don't guess. At least he hasn't shown any obvious ill will towards us yet. Instead, he has provided us with a lot of useful information. We will eventually understand what his purpose is. Maybe he just wants to make friends with us." Xu Qingfan said lightly.
