A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1279: Beginning

Indeed.

Medicine Mountain originally belongs to the Star Shining Sect, no matter how you look at it, it’s a product of the Star Shining Sect.

This agreement to duel with the other party.

Obviously, Bai Changqiu compromised; otherwise, he could have just taken Medicine Mountain back directly.

At this moment.

Bai Changqiu said in a deep voice, "For this time, the decision isn’t merely by Baifu City. Someone from within the Qingyang Dynasty supports them in doing so."

"Qingyang Dynasty?"

The Inner Sect Disciple’s expression changed slightly.

Bai Changqiu nodded, "Otherwise, it’s impossible for Hua Hao alone to make such a decision.

He doesn’t have the courage or the guts to challenge the Star Shining Sect like this."

The Inner Sect Disciple nodded, no longer asking further. Matters involving the upper echelons of the Qingyang Dynasty were beyond his concern.

For those of us, small figures.

We have no influence over such matters, and even paying attention won’t change anything. It is better to keep one’s head down and work diligently.

Bai Changqiu said nothing further.

She glanced at Baiyu, found her brother was silent too, not sure what was on his mind.

Upon returning to the Sub-Branch.

Bai Changqiu explained the matter clearly to other Inner Sect Disciples, all showing slightly grim expressions.

Not simply because of the duel.

But because the City Lord of Baifu City dared to confront them like this.

"Senior Sister Changqiu, do you know now who in the Qingyang Dynasty is against our Star Shining Sect?"

At this moment.

An Inner Sect Disciple asked.

Bai Changqiu shook her head, "It’s not about being against our Star Shining Sect, likely just dissatisfaction from someone against the Star Shining Sect, wanting to use small tactics to disgust us. Reporting such a matter to the Star Shining Sect is overreacting.

So, the plan is to resolve it simply.

Which means accepting this task, then solving it perfectly in their manner, not giving anyone a chance to make waves.

I believe.

The Inner Sect Disciples of the Star Shining Sect are not likely to lose to those from the major families.

Have you no confidence?"

Bai Changqiu’s gaze swept the surroundings.

The group of Inner Sect Disciples immediately responded with vigor and confidence.

"No problem!"

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister, we will definitely win this duel."

"Indeed, there will be no problems."

A few responded promptly.

Baiyu remained silent beside, watching quietly.

He felt.

The Star Shining Sect might lose.

Though not necessarily.

However, he wasn’t too concerned about victory or defeat. He just wished to resolve matters quickly here, so he could go back to cultivate.

After the Spirit Transformation Realm comes the Giant Spirit.

Yet.

He knew only two Cultivation Techniques, the most basic Star Shining Qi-Introducing Technique, and the Calm Wind Sword.

These are all Low Level Cultivation Techniques.

Usually, only Outer Sect Disciples, who just joined, cultivate these until the Bursting Realm when they change the Cultivation Technique.

But now Baiyu has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Still using these two techniques.

"It’s necessary to return to the Sect and delve deeper, for ascending to the Giant Spirit Realm requires further study of the Sect’s ancient texts, which likely have records on reaching the Giant Spirit Realm."

Baiyu thought quietly.

He’d been stuck in the Spirit Transformation Realm for days, sensing that the Giant Spirit Realm was special, not merely the piling of True Qi.

Thus, to ascend to the Giant Spirit Realm.

He must have the relevant ancient texts.

Of course.

This also illustrates the issue of severe monopoly within the Immortal Cultivation Realm, where Loose Cultivators are unlikely to access such Cultivation Techniques without rare opportunities, usually having to join a power eventually.

By now.

Bai Changqiu had confirmed the number of people battling today.

A total of five.

They’re all highly skilled Inner Sect Disciples present this time; Baiyu naturally wasn’t part of the group, having been an Inner Sect Disciple for only a month and entered largely by luck.

At least in Bai Changqiu’s view.

Baiyu came in through luck.

It was seen as such by others too, being the last in the Outer Sect Competition, it was attributed to luck.

Uneventful night.

Early the following day, the group of Inner Sect Disciples gathered.

With the impending duel with the family Cultivators, everyone ensured a good night’s sleep for peak confrontation the following day.

Indeed, Baiyu slept well too.

Having entered the Profound Origin Realm, aside from its bizarre Immortal Cultivation Realm aspects, there were no Evil Gods or such, it was extremely safe.

The safety relaxed Baiyu somewhat.

If merely cultivating to ascend and soar could bring peace to the world, Baiyu could live like this indefinitely.

But.

One cannot slack off.

The City of Hope still holds many people, and if the City Lord doesn’t return, their livelihoods will be problematic.

After all.

It’s impossible to expect the Galactic Empire not to notice this planet.

Based on Baiyu’s estimation.

The planet should be discovered by the Human Imperial in a few years.

By then.

Facing the magnanimous Galactic Empire and managing relations with the Sacred Central Continent are pressing issues.

In the City of Hope.

His friends reside there, so Baiyu couldn’t ignore it.

The problem must be solved soon.

"Need to speed up cultivation, aim for direct ascend to Giant Spirit Realm upon returning..." Baiyu thought inwardly.

Having reached impressive Martial Dao distances.

Now retracing similar cultivation paths, progress naturally came swiftly.

At this point.

Bai Changqiu entered the courtyard, glanced over everyone, and said gravely, "Let’s go, we mustn’t lose today."

"Rest assured, we won’t disappoint Senior Sister."

"These Cultivators groomed by ordinary families are no different from Loose Cultivators, we will surely triumph."

The Inner Sect Disciples radiated confidence.

After all.

Those from esteemed sects vastly differ from ordinary Loose Cultivators, and such family Cultivators are somewhere between.

However.

The few families utilizing all resources to produce individuals clearly have stronger prowess than ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, showcasing excellence at such critical occasions. Hence, Baiyu viewed the Inner Sect Disciples with skepticism.

The group arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion of Baifu City.

At the training ground within the mansion, Hua Hao awaited there already, alongside other major families.

Moreover, around them.

Were numerous family members; besides those dueling, many came to observe and learn.

Certainly.

Those present were core disciples of the major families.

The training ground was sealed off.

No additional individuals entered.

Seeing Bai Changqiu’s arrival, Hua Hao flashed a smile, "Fairy Changqiu, perfect timing, we’ve just arrived not long ago too."
