Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Mother is a God-Level Boss

Chapter 99 The Revival of Spiritual Qi: My Mother is a Cultivator (Part 5)

“I was rescued by my master when I was being chased by my enemies. I was exhausted and thought I was going to die. My master saved me and took me as his disciple. Your mother is both my master and my savior.”

Lu Yunqi still speaks of the past with eyes full of admiration.

"Me too, me too, I was also saved by my master."

The silver-haired boy raised his right hand and spoke first.

"Yinchuan, nobody's asking you how you are..."

Mu Yunhuai's face darkened. Everyone knew that Yinchuan was the son of the city lord of Canghai City, the number one city in the cultivation world.

For some reason, he set his sights on the master and shamelessly wanted to become his disciple. Later, after hearing that the master had saved the eldest brother and the others, he even orchestrated a heroic rescue scene.

Later, his true identity was exposed, and it was only after his father, the city lord, personally came to negotiate with his master that his master agreed to accept him as a disciple.

I don't know what conditions the city lord of Canghai City promised, but this kid from Yinchuan is really lucky.

"Senior Brother Lu, when can I go back with you to see my mother?"

Si Ran was shocked by her mother Si Yan's strength, but her only thought was to see her mother safe and sound before she could feel at ease.

“In previous years, the recruitment of new members in the lower realm would last for three days. However, one day in the cultivation world is equivalent to ten days in the lower realm. This means that we will have to stay here for thirty days before we can set off to return to the cultivation world.”

Lu Yunqi explained gently.

"Really? I thought I'd see my mom soon. This is my first time taking the test, so I don't know the specific schedule."

Si Ran replied dejectedly.

Just then, several cultivators dressed in white robes with gold thread walked in.

“Lu Yunqi, why is it that only your Misty Sect is getting special treatment and resting here? Our Wuji Sect, which is ranked number one, is still working hard.”

"That's right. Your Misty Sect just got lucky and defeated a low-level sect to get a spot, but you act so arrogantly. It's really unbearable."

Gu Pingsheng of Wuji Sect said with an unfriendly expression.

"Gu Pingsheng, stop talking nonsense. Which eye of yours saw us slacking off? All the people assigned to us have already finished testing. Can't we sit here and rest for a bit?"

Yinchuan spoke coldly, his face showing mild anger.

"Of course not! This rest room belongs to us. Your Misty Sect has no right to use it. Get out of here!"

Gu Pingsheng's eyes revealed a look of contempt, which made Yinchuan furious.

"Gu Pingsheng, please look carefully. The words 'Piaomiao Sect' are written on this door. If you're going to cause trouble, at least come up with a better reason."

Lu Yunqi's eyes were sharp as he stood up and walked to Gu Pingsheng, his imposing manner not diminished in the slightest.

"Tch, Lu Yunqi, do you still think you're the young master of the Lu family? You're nothing but a stray dog. If our Wuji Sect has taken a fancy to this place, then it's ours."

Gu Pingsheng stared intently at Lu Yunqi, his eyes filled with gloom.

"How can you be so unreasonable? Is this how the number one sect behaves?"

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the Wuji Sect, Si Ran couldn't help but speak up.

Gu Pingsheng heard this and looked Si Ran up and down.

"Interesting. I heard you came here to find your master's daughter. Is that her? Ignorance is bliss."

"Little sister, do you know what our Wuji Sect represents? Destroying a small sect like your Piaomiao Sect is just a matter of lifting a finger."

Hearing him say that, Si Yan felt uneasy, but she didn't show it on her face.

Si Ran didn't want to appear weak in front of such a person.

Gu Pingsheng wanted to say something, but was pulled back by the aloof-looking man next to him.

"Ping Sheng, forget it. We can't waste our energy on these lowly sects. Let's go, we have important business to attend to."

After saying that, the man left first, and Gu Pingsheng had no choice but to give up, but he couldn't help but sneer.

"Alright, for Yunxi's sake, I'll let you off this time."

At this point, Gu Pingsheng suddenly looked at Si Ran.

"Oh, by the way, little sister, remember to use honorifics next time you see me, otherwise I can't guarantee what might happen."

After saying that, he chuckled and walked away.

"Gu Pingsheng, don't go too far!"

Yinchuan couldn't help but want to rush forward, but was stopped by Lu Yunqi who was quick-witted and agile.

"Yinchuan, don't be impulsive. We are no match for Yunxi."

Lu Yunqi's face showed restraint, but his desire to become strong quickly grew stronger.

"Senior Brother, I've really had enough of Gu Pingsheng. Why is he targeting us all this time?"

Yinchuan said indignantly.

"I'm sorry, it's actually me who dragged everyone into this. Gu Pingsheng was targeting me."

Senior Brother Lu Yunqi said with remorse.

"Gu Pingsheng was a servant in our Lu family before. Later, he was recommended to the Wuji Sect by my father because of his exceptional talent. At first, he was very grateful, but when the Lu family was in trouble, he was also the first to turn against them."

"Moreover, he is probably the one who least wants me to become strong, because I suspect that he was involved in the trouble that happened to the Lu family back then."

Lu Yunqi's expression was grave; he realized he was still too weak.

At this moment, Lu Yunqi's belief in becoming stronger was incredibly strong.

"Alright, Senior Brother Lu, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. It's purely because Gu Pingsheng is morally corrupt and has character issues." Si Ran's filter for cultivation, to be honest, shattered completely after learning about people like Gu Yunping.

Therefore, the cultivation world is also full of deceit and intrigue, and even those with great strength will have selfish motives.

It's not as good as it's said online, that everyone is single-mindedly focused on cultivation and detached from worldly affairs, with a sincere heart for the Dao.

It turns out that the cultivation world is just a bit stronger; it also has all the rotten people and bad things that are common in the world.

I have no idea how much effort my mother put in to get to where she is today.

Si Ran looked dejected, imagining many scenes of Si Yan suffering and training desperately.

But in reality, Si Yan is currently lying on a bamboo chair in the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

The table beside him was filled with rare and exotic fruits from the cultivation world.

If Gu Pingsheng were here, he'd probably be furious. That red fruit was the Fire Spirit Fruit he'd been searching for for three years without success.

But now Si Yan casually placed it on the table, and even this fruit did not arouse her interest.

[Host, Si Ran is encountering some trouble. Should we offer assistance?]

The system's soft, sweet voice suddenly rang out.

It turns out that Gu Pingsheng was the one who caused the trouble. Because the top-ranked sect had the right of first choice, he selected Si Ran immediately. Lu Yunqi and the others definitely disagreed, and now the two sides are at an impasse.

However, it seems that Si Ran and her group are at a disadvantage.

“Transmit this wisp of divine consciousness to Lu Yunqi; he knows what to do.”

Si Yan frowned slightly and looked coldly at the sky.

The ways of Heaven are truly worrisome.

…………

"Gu Pingsheng, don't go too far. You know perfectly well that Si Ran is the person we're looking for."

Yinchuan said through gritted teeth.

Seeing the angry expressions of the Misty Sect members, Gu Pingsheng felt extremely relieved.

“Yinchuan, I’m just following the rules. Si Ran has dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and her purity is at level one. She barely meets the requirements for accepting disciples of our Wuji Sect. There’s nothing wrong with me choosing her, right?”

Gu Pingsheng looked at Yinchuan with a smug expression. So what if he's the young master of Canghai City? He can't do anything to me.

"Gu Pingsheng, the selection rules are indeed like this, but I remember one of them is that if different sects take a liking to the same person, they can challenge each other, and whoever wins gets to keep him."

Gu Pingsheng chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly.

"If you want a challenge, I'm ready anytime. Anyway, I've already chosen Si Ran for today."

Gu Pingsheng, with his arms crossed and an air of calm and collected demeanor, made Yinchuan grit his teeth; he was just too infuriating.

Si Ran looked at Lu Yunqi with concern.

"Senior Brother Lu, let's forget about it. I can still go to the cultivation world anyway. Didn't you say my mother is very powerful? We can have her come and rescue me when we get back, okay?"

“No, Si Ran, you don’t understand. Once you go there, Gu Pingsheng has countless ways to make you disappear. I promised my master I would bring you back safely.”

“It’s too risky for you to follow Gu Pingsheng; we can’t afford to gamble.”

Lu Yunqi said firmly.

Seeing Si Ran's worried expression, Lu Yunqi comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After speaking, Lu Yunqi walked over to the deacon group and challenged Gu Pingsheng.

Gu Pingsheng, who was resting in the ranks, was overjoyed when he received the notification.

Now we can finally get rid of Lu Yunqi openly and legitimately.

The Chinese people who had already been assigned to sects all secretly paid attention when they heard that a sect had issued a challenge to recruit someone. They dared not be too obvious, for fear of offending a certain cultivator.

"Which genius is being fought over by two sects?"

The men in black whispered among themselves.

"Hey, you didn't know this, did you? I heard it. That woman has dual water and wood spiritual roots. She has good talent, but she can't be considered a genius."

The bald guy next to him whispered an explanation to him.

"Then this is..."

The man in black was confused. What were these cultivators doing? Did they think it was fun?

Seeing the puzzled look on the man in black's face, the bald man looked around, then leaned close to his ear and said, "I heard there's a grudge involved, so it's just a random excuse."

The man in black suddenly realized what was going on; now it made sense.

The two of them were having a lively discussion and didn't notice Bai Mumu and Fu Tianlei standing behind them.

"Tianlei, Ranran is amazing! Two sects are vying to recruit her, unlike me, who was only chosen by the second-ranked Lingyue Sect because of my great-grandfather's connections."

Bai Mumu smiled playfully at Fu Tianlei.

"Mu Mu, what makes her so great? She's just being used as a shield for revenge. No matter who wins, Si Ran won't get away with it."

Fu Tianlei said dismissively, "This Si Ran is really unlucky."

Meanwhile, Si Ran was watching Lu Yunqi and Gu Pingsheng on the challenge stage with bated breath.

The challenge arena was brought from the cultivation world. Once it is opened, no one outside can interfere. Similarly, the spiritual energy generated during the battle cannot cause harm to the outside world. The challenge arena will only be opened again when one person concedes defeat.

Gu Pingsheng was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, while Lu Yunqi was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Having crossed two realms, it's safe to say that it's simply impossible for Lu Yunqi to defeat Gu Pingsheng.

Therefore, Gu Pingsheng was completely nonchalant; in his mind, Lu Yunqi was already a dead man.

"Lu Yunqi, you should at least consider your own abilities before you try to be tough. You're only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, yet you dare to challenge me. Who gave you the courage?"

Gu Pingsheng was furious when he saw Lu Yunqi's determined look. Did he still think he was a dog of the Lu family?

This time, I won't be lenient.

Seeing that both sides nodded in agreement, the deacon group activated the challenge platform.

The challenge began, and Gu Pingsheng struck first, delivering a sharp palm strike to Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy and released it to his palms to defend himself, but he still underestimated Gu Pingsheng's strength. His body was lifted into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

Before Lu Yunqi could react, Gu Pingsheng followed up with his next move.

Another palm strike came.

Lu Yunqi groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Si Ran and the others outside were extremely anxious when they saw this.

"No, this is a one-sided massacre. Senior Brother can't win."

Yinchuan said, her voice choked with emotion.

"This can't go on, Mu Yunhuai. Is there any way to save Senior Brother? You're the smartest."

Yinchuan turned to look at Mu Yunhuai, asking expectantly.

"Yinchuan, I'm sorry, I can't think of a solution this time either."

Mu Yunhuai replied dejectedly.

"Then what are you going to do? Are you just going to give up on Senior Brother Lu like this?"

Seeing Lu Shixiong's miserable state, Si Ran said anxiously.

"Unless special circumstances occur that allow Senior Brother to perform a leapfrog operation, it is impossible for him to defeat Gu Pingsheng."

Mu Yunhuai said softly, but he also knew that the chances of this happening were extremely slim.

The onlookers outside were also discussing it animatedly.

"Did Si Ran save the ancestors of that Misty Sect cultivator for three generations? Why is the other party going to such lengths?"

"I don't think so. Maybe he fell in love with Si Ran at first sight?"

The short-haired girl said wistfully.

"Seriously, why are you guys so love-obsessed everywhere?"

The man stared speechlessly at the short-haired girl in front of him. How could everything be tied to love?

He fell heavily to the ground again, and Lu Yunqi's consciousness began to fade.

Si Ran and the other two closed their eyes in pain, but at that moment they heard a series of exclamations from behind them.

"Look, he's standing up again!"

"Yes, and the wound has visibly healed. Is this the ability of a cultivator?"

"God, I can't wait to go to the cultivation world to learn magic properly."

"Look, the situation on the challenge platform has reversed."

Having regained his strength, Lu Yunqi changed his previous moves, his power increased dramatically, and he dominated Gu Pingsheng.

Gu Pingsheng's expression changed drastically as he retreated.

"Lu Yunqi, you cheated! How could you suddenly become so amazing!"

"Gu Pingsheng should just admit he's not as skilled as others. Is he just stalling for time by saying all this nonsense?"

Lu Yunqi had just received a wisp of Si Yan's divine consciousness.

With just a little absorption, he was able to leap two realms, raising his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Even the deacon group cannot detect divine sense.

As Lu Yunqi drew closer, Gu Pingsheng became increasingly flustered.
