Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

When he arrived at the mansion, he informed the manager at the door. After a while, Qu Fu came out in person to greet He Ling.

After welcoming the guests into the house, they were seated at a banquet.

There were very few people at the banquet, only Shi Linshan, He Ling, and Qu Fu. As for Yu Yan, he stood behind He Ling.

Shi Linshan's face turned ugly when he saw He Ling, but considering Qu Fu's transfer today, he didn't say anything.

He Ling also gave him face, chatted for a few words, moved his chopsticks a few times, and then stopped.

Shi Linshan held up a glass of wine and said to Qu Fu, "Brother, congratulations. You have finally made it through this Nanli land and can return to the sect to work. In the future, you will surely have the seas wide open for fish to leap and the skies high for birds to fly. Unlike us, we don't know how much longer we have to endure this Nanli land."

Qu Fu was in an especially good mood today. Stroking his beard, he laughed and said, "Haha, Junior Brother, we all work for the sect, so how can we be ranked higher or lower? Besides, the relationships within the sect are complicated. We have no power or influence, let alone elders. Maybe we'll even miss the peace and quiet of Nanli."

Although what Qu Fu said made some sense, everyone knew that the spiritual energy in Nanli Valley was thin and resources were scarce. If one wanted to advance in cultivation, one must have a constant supply of spiritual resources. However, Xuanyuan Sect only had a few thousand spirit stones, in addition to the unusable contribution points issued by the sect every year.

These thousands of spirit stones are far from enough at the foundation-building level.

If you don't want your cultivation to stagnate forever, it's better to leave Nanli as soon as possible. After all, the later you leave, the more your energy and blood will decline, and it will be more difficult to make further progress.

Shi Linshan smiled bitterly, did not respond, sighed and sat down again.

He Ling was also thinking about something, holding a wine glass in his hand, but he was reluctant to put it to his mouth.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little cold.

Qu Fu laughed again, "Haha, Junior Brothers and Sisters, don't be discouraged. If you really don't want to endure it, the sect competition is just around the corner this year. If you rank high in the competition, you can still return to the sect early."

Shi Linshan gave a bitter laugh, "Brother, those sect disciples practice in places filled with spiritual energy every day, and they have no shortage of elixirs and techniques. If I go, I will only come back with wounds, and what else can I gain? This sect competition is not something we can participate in at all."

"Hey."

Qu Fu's smile faded. Compared with those foundation-building disciples of Xuanyuan Sect, these casual cultivators who changed their careers halfway through were still far behind.

"Oh, the sect competition? Can you tell me about it in detail, Senior Brother?"

Hearing this voice, Qu Fu and Shi Linshan both looked at He Ling, who had been silent before, with some surprise.

Shi Linshan's lips flashed with a hint of sarcasm. "Junior sister, those are all the local foundation-building cultivators from Xuanyuan Sect. Even though you are a woman, those foundation-building cultivators will not hold back at all. If you get injured, you will have to spend spirit stones to buy healing pills yourself."

"I think you should just play house with the mortals."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Yan immediately frowned and glanced at the Stone Forest Mountain. He Ling, on the other hand, remained expressionless and ignored him, instead looking at Qu Fu.

"Could you please elaborate on this, brother?"

Qu Fuben is a bit of a good guy, so he also gave some advice.

"Junior sister, this sect competition is not something we can participate in. You'd better give up on that idea."

"That's fine. Senior Brother, please explain it in detail so that Junior Sister can give up this idea."

Seeing that He Ling insisted on asking, Qu Fu also started talking.

"Every five years, there will be a sect competition in Xuanyuan Sect. From Qi training cultivators to foundation building cultivators, there will be competitions. Those who rank high will receive rich spiritual objects. Not only that, the top ten will be accepted as personal disciples by the Jindan elders.

Among the foundation-building cultivators, as long as they rank in the top 200, they can choose any peak and become an outer disciple of a Jindan elder. At that time, they naturally don't have to do the task of becoming a regular disciple.

But junior sister, don't think that the first two hundred are easy. You must know that there are tens of thousands of foundation-building cultivators in Xuanyuan Sect. Every year, thousands of foundation-building cultivators participate, and many of them are outer disciples who were originally from a peak. It is not enough to have talent alone. You must have all the talent, resources and cultivation.

As for us registered disciples, our resources are not as good as those of the Xuanyuan Sect disciples, and our talents are even more average. We can never compete with them no matter what."

Qu Fu's words were sincere, after all, this was the current situation of those who were registered in the foundation-building stage.

He Ling nodded his chin, "Brother, I already know the dangers involved. How do I participate in this sect competition?"

"Hey, junior sister, why don't you listen to my advice?" Qu Fu said with a sigh.

Shi Linshan also sneered, "Junior sister, do you really think you are a child of destiny? How good can your talent be to be able to come to this Nanli land? I think you are probably showing off some tricks in front of those mortals, and their flattery has made you lose sight of reality."

He Ling looked towards Shilin Mountain with a smile on his face.

Looking at this smile, Shi Linshan felt a sense of danger in his heart for some reason.

The next moment, He Ling moved his fingers slightly, and a sword beam about an inch long suddenly shot towards Shilin Mountain.

Shi Linshan frowned, already alert in his heart, and a dark yellow shield protected him. He had seen He Ling's methods before and knew that she would take action if she disagreed with him. Ever since that incident, the more Shi Linshan thought about it, the more cowardly he felt. He, who had been building the foundation for many years, was suppressed by a foundation-building cultivator who was obviously younger than him. In addition, He Ling had basically not shown up in the past ten years, so his fear of He Ling relaxed again.

He was about to use his magic weapon to let this woman know how powerful he was.

But the next moment his pupils shrank, and the inch-long sword light, as if cutting tofu, easily broke through his protective spiritual shield and slashed towards his chest.

His face turned pale, and at this moment he was unable to react no matter what. With a "bang", he flew backwards.

After crashing into a screen and rolling twice on the ground, he finally stood up with a painful look on his face. A bloodstain suddenly appeared on his chest, and blood flowed out as if it was free, soon soaking his clothes.

Shi Linshan's face turned pale and he looked at He Ling with horror.

Qu Fu's pupils also shrank, he was in the middle stage of foundation building!

"How can it be!"

You have to know that the spiritual energy in the Nanli Valley is thin, and spiritual objects are even scarcer. Even if you can hunt some monsters and sell them, how many spirit stones can you get!

For ordinary cultivators in the foundation-building stage, it is good enough if their cultivation level does not regress, and it is impossible for them to make any further progress. This is why, although mosquitoes obviously do not cause too much trouble to cultivators in the foundation-building stage, no one is willing to eradicate them. It is a thankless task, and there is no reward at all. The spiritual power consumed in killing mosquitoes is really a point less as it is used, and then one has to spend spiritual stones and spiritual objects to replenish it, which is not worth it at all.

When they first heard that He Ling had killed the mosquito, they thought it was just because He Ling was young. But later she regretted it.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, her cultivation had not declined at all, but had even made a progress, breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building!

He Ling's face turned cold, "I don't want to pay attention to you anymore, but you still come up here to ask for a beating."
