Seeking Immortality

When all the competitions in the quarterfinals were over, Xu Qingfan said goodbye to Jin Qinghan and Bai Qingfu, and returned to his cave in the back mountain, preparing to meditate and rest for a night, so that he could face the competition with Feng Qingtian the next day in his best condition.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night wind was faint. The faint starlight fell into Xu Qingfan's room, but it reflected Xu Qingfan's face, which was a little gloomy.

"Hey~~" Xu Qingfan sighed, slowly opened his eyes, came out of meditation, and ended his meditation. Complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

His meditation was not very successful this time. His mind was always fluctuating, and he couldn't calm down. In his mind, Feng Qingtian's amazing competition in the daytime, and Bai Qingfu's mysterious smile after the failure of the competition, kept flashing. There was always a faint ominous premonition in his heart, but after careful tasting, he found that it was not because of the competition with Feng Qingtian tomorrow. But it was always unclear why.

Sighing again, Xu Qingfan put aside the inexplicable emotions in his heart, knowing that he could not calm down to meditate tonight, so he stood up from the bed helplessly, pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the door, the stars were twinkling and the moonlight was like water.

Taking a deep breath of the air with a faint scent of flowers, plants and soil, Xu Qingfan finally calmed down a little.

Bowing and bowing gently to Yue Qingru's tombstone not far away, Xu Qingfan turned and walked towards Yue Qingru's room. Since Yue Qingru's death, his original house has been empty, and Xu Qingfan also cleaned it from time to time as a memorial. And the various furnishings in the house are exactly the same as when Yue Qingru was still alive.

After entering Yue Qingru's room, Xu Qingfan vaguely saw Yue Qingru sitting at the desk and concentrating on reading.

"Is my senior brother still reading in heaven now?" Such a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Xu Qingfan's mind.

With a slight wry smile, Xu Qingfan quietly walked to the bookshelf in Yue Qingru's room, casually pulled out a book called "Funny Stories of Mountains and Seas", and read it carefully. In the strange stories, Xu Qingfan gradually relaxed his mind, and time passed like water.

But Xu Qingfan didn't know that at this moment, there was a person who was as uneasy as him.

Near the top of Jiuhua Mountain, there is an ancient house on it. The whole ancient house is majestic and magnificent with bricks and tiles, flying eaves, bricks, stones and wood carvings. Everywhere shows the dignity and glory of the former owner of this ancient house. But now, this huge house is only inhabited by a teenager, the last heir of the Feng family, Feng Qingtian, who is considered the first genius of Jiuhuamen.

To restore the glory of the family, to maintain his position as the number one among the junior disciples of Jiuhua, to avenge his clansmen... all these burdens have been on Feng Qingtian's shoulders since he was a child. While Feng Qingtian worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep, his heart gradually became cold and arrogant, and he began to keep people at a distance.

In order to achieve these goals, Feng Qingtian's efforts are unimaginable for ordinary people. He has spent all his free time on cultivation since he was six years old. Entertainment and leisure, which are things that everyone has, are luxuries for him. In this way, it is not unfair for Jin Qinghan to lose to him before. The hard work and efforts are also remarkable. At the age of 22, he has mastered the "Flame Phoenix", one of the three unique skills of the Feng family, and became the first person in the Feng family in 3,000 years! !

But Feng Qingtian knows that it is far from enough to take revenge with his current strength. One hundred years ago, his family had five great masters in the Jindan stage. Coupled with the unique Taoist method of the Feng family, even in the entire cultivation world, their strength could attract people's attention and they were unique. But even so, they were slaughtered cleanly by Zhang Xusheng, the traitor of Jiuhuamen, "Heavenly Snake Star Lord". Although there was also the reason of sneak attack, it is conceivable how strong Zhang Xusheng is.

Therefore, even with the glory of being the first genius of Jiuhuamen, Feng Qingtian still continued to work hard without sleep and forget about food. Not only did he not slack off or feel proud, but he was even more diligent and hardworking. Genius? For Feng Qingtian, a genius without achievements can only be a genius forever, and he can never become a master, let alone reach the realm of Tongxuan like Zhang Xusheng.

But today's situation is very abnormal. Feng Qingtian can't calm down to practice anyway. Wang Qingjun's ordinary and expressionless face kept flashing in his mind.

After the competition, Feng Qingtian thought about it carefully and found that the competition was full of weirdness. Wang Qingjun's strength was beyond his expectation, and he was forced to use his ultimate move "Flame Phoenix" to fight against him. But what was even weirder was the final stage of the competition. Wang Qingjun's skills were not inferior to his own. In addition, the five elements were restrained. Although his "Flame Phoenix" had amazing attack power, Wang Qingjun should not be able to resist it so easily? The weirdest thing was that when his "Flame Phoenix" was about to hit him, it suddenly lost control and dissipated into nothingness! !

Feng Qingtian was a person who liked to control all the changes in things in his own hands, but today's competition made Feng Qingtian feel that things were slowly out of his control.

"Wang Qingjun, who are you?" At this time, Feng Qingtian stood proudly on the roof of the ancient house, facing Jiuhua and back to the moon, looking down at the dark patches under Jiuhua Mountain, muttering to himself.

It was in this darkness that two mysterious men were hiding and having a secret conversation.

"Number Five, you didn't do a good job in your mission." A slender figure in the dark said, his voice was flat and without any emotional fluctuations, but it was full of accusations.

"You don't need to take care of my business, Number Seven." Another larger figure said: "Our mission in this competition is to attract the attention of Jiuhua's top leaders as much as possible without entering the top five, so that we can gradually gain their attention and reuse. I have completed this."

The other voice was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "The mission has changed. The master wants one of us to enter the top five of this internal competition, so that we can participate in the newcomer competition jointly organized by the six major holy places ten years later."

"Has the mission changed in ten years?"

"These are not what we should know."

"Then will you go or will I go?" Listening to this person's words, it seems that winning the fifth place is very simple for them.

"I'll go. I'm more suitable for this."

Another voice was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Okay."

"Number Five, are you hesitating?"

"It's already come to this point, what's the point of hesitation, can you turn back?"

"Just you know. Staying loyal to the master will naturally benefit you. If you dare to betray, don't talk about the master first, I won't forgive you." As the voice fell, the slender figure slowly faded until it disappeared.

The huge figure sighed softly and slowly disappeared. Only the deep darkness was left, quietly waiting for the next conspiracy to appear.

Whenever people regret a past impulse or non-impulsiveness, they will feel a deep helplessness. Because many things, once done, can never be turned back.

This is probably the trick of fate on humans.

The daytime of Jiuhua Mountain is always bright with sunlight. Under the reflection of the fairy mist and clouds, there are even more fairy clouds, a scene of immortals.

On the mountainside of Jiuhua Mountain, in front of Linghua Palace, there was a bustling crowd, as if all the cultivators in Jiuhua Mountain had gathered here. People were discussing who would win and who would lose, and at the same time looking forward to the start of the competition. The influence of the semi-finals of the internal competition is so strong and wide that it can be seen.

When Xu Qingfan came to the square, everyone on the field still consciously made way for this young master who had emerged and shined in this internal competition. It was just that the eyes looking at Xu Qingfan were full of sympathy, or gloating. Because in the eyes of everyone, Xu Qingfan was bound to lose this competition. Because his opponent this time was the first genius of Jiuhuamen-Feng Qingtian.

Unpopular, it can only be an upset forever.

Xu Qingfan didn't care about the strange eyes of everyone looking at him, but just stood quietly off the field waiting for the competition to start. Because he also knew that the gap between him and Feng Qingtian was all-round. The reason why he was able to enter the top four was actually due to a certain amount of luck. Whether it was Li Yuhan or Sheng Yushan, their strength was actually better than his, and Dongfang Qingling's strength was not weaker than his at all. So he was very calm in participating in this competition now. If he lost, he would lose. Anyway, he would not lose anything. After all, Xu Qingfan participated in this internal competition to take back Lu Huayan's relics, and getting third place was enough.

For Xu Qingfan, the only hope of this competition was to try his best to make Feng Qingtian reveal more hidden strength through this competition, so as to help Jin Qinghan.

"Senior Brother Xu." At this time, Jin Qinghan's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Junior Brother Jin, you are here." Xu Qingfan turned around and smiled and said.

Jin Qinghan nodded, then looked at Xu Qingfan and said seriously: "Senior Brother Xu, just do your best in this competition, don't force yourself."

Hearing Jin Qinghan's words, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then smiled and said: "I know, I will, don't worry."

At this time, the sound of bells began to ring continuously, echoing throughout the Jiuhua Mountain, indicating that the first competition of the day was about to begin.
