Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

"Brother Shen, should we fight here or go to the ring?"

Mu Qingli asked.

Shen Lixin felt that there was no need to make too much trouble, so he dispersed the group of people around him: "It's fine here, Junior Sister Mu, let's stop here."

Shen Lixin showed a gentle smile on his face. He felt that it was no problem to defeat Mu Qingli with his own strength, but he was his senior brother after all, and he didn't want Mu Qingli to get hurt.

Mu Qingli nodded and asked the people behind him to disperse. The two of them clasped their fists slightly and started fighting.

Shen Lixin is good at swordsmanship and took out his sword at the beginning.

A sharp sword wind swept towards Mu Qingli. Mu Qingli frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to block it:

"Brother Shen, please don't hold back. I know you don't want to hurt me. Since I've accepted your challenge, I'm not afraid of getting hurt. Not holding back is the greatest respect for my opponent."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Lixin's face. He had just used only 70% of his strength, but he was two levels higher than Mu Qingli. Logically speaking, even if Mu Qingli could take his attack, it would not be too easy.

The other people present knew Shen Lixin quite well, and could see that although he had retained some strength, it was not much. After hearing Mu Qingli's words, their previously firm hearts were slightly shaken.

Mu Qingli felt the change in the gazes of the brothers and sisters around him, and added, "Brother Shen, do you think I'm right?"

Shen Lixin nodded and apologized: "Thank you, Junior Sister Mu, I know what to do now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved quickly. The sword in his hand trembled, turned in a circle in Shen Lixin's hand, and then rushed towards Mu Qingli with more force than before.

Mu Qingli had anticipated this and took out the Lingbo Sword to counter it.

Although the sword in Shen Lixin's hand was not bad, it was like mud compared to the Lingbo Sword. The edge of the Lingbo Sword touched it and actually created a gap in it, sparking bursts of sparks.

Shen Lixin was slightly stunned and looked at the sword in his hand. Although the gap was not big, there was already a flaw and the quality of the sword had declined.

A look of apology flashed across Mu Qingli's face. She had used the Lingbo Sword before, but this was the first time she used it to block the opponent's sword.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry. I will compensate you with a sword."

Shen Lixin recovered from his daze and immediately declined after hearing Mu Qingli's words:

"No need. I initiated the challenge. Whatever happens in a fight is inevitable. Junior Sister Mu, there's no need to feel sorry for it. Just like you said before that you're not afraid of getting hurt, getting hurt with your weapon is also a form of injury, and I'm not afraid of that either."

Not only did Shen Lixin not complain about this, he also kindly advised Mu Qingli, as if he was afraid that she would feel guilty.

After hearing what he said, Mu Qingli felt that Shen Lixin was someone worth dating, so she didn't hesitate too much: "Okay, let's continue."

The two fought again, and this time they tacitly retracted their swords and used force to attack.

Shen Lixin uses the ice attribute, while Mu Qingli uses the fire attribute. Ice and fire collide in the air, the fire melts the ice, and the ice turns into rain, dripping suddenly.

Everyone in the courtyard was inevitably affected, and their temples were slightly wet.

The clash of the two forces clearly showed that the fire side was superior. The courtyard was silent for a long time. The first round of applause was started by Shen Lixin: "Junior Sister Mu, I admit defeat. With you as the leader of this mission, I have nothing to say."

As the first round of applause rang out, the rest of the people also started to applaud. The group of people who were previously quite conflicted no longer had any other thoughts after seeing that Shen Lixin had suffered losses at the hands of Mu Qingli.

The sect master's disciples are different. They can win battles across two levels. No wonder the sect master likes them.

Of course, some people believed it, but naturally there were still some who refused to accept it: "Junior Sister Mu, I recognize your strength, but I haven't seen the strength of others, so I also want to challenge them."

The person who spoke was a woman named An Lan. She was tall and had a cool expression on her face, giving people a feeling that strangers should stay away from her.

It was also the first time that Mu Qingli saw such a heroic woman here, and he couldn't help but look at her twice.

An Lan raised an eyebrow: "Junior Sister Mu, who do you want to challenge?"

Mu Qingli withdrew his gaze and let her choose: "Senior Sister, challenge whoever you want."

An Lan's eyes scanned the others behind him, and finally stopped at Luo Yu. A look of surprise flashed across her face, and she pointed at him: "Let's pick him."

Luo Yu smiled cynically: "Senior Sister, please do as you please."

An Lan tilted his head, but did not start to attack. Instead, he asked, "Junior brother, my name is An Lan. What is your name?"

"Luo Yu."

When An Lan heard Luo Yu's name, a smile appeared on his cool face: "The name is quite nice. I wonder if Junior Brother Luo has a Taoist partner?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the cynical smile on Luo Yu's face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Mu Qingli somewhat at a loss.

Mu Qingli was also trying to hold back a smile, but she was just watching the show and didn't help him out.

An Lan also has many suitors in Xuantian Sect. When those suitors hear the person they love asking others whether they have a partner, they can't help but look at Luo Yu.

Looking around, they found that except for one who was slightly weaker in strength, the others were stronger than them. The most important thing was that Luo Yu was young. Even though his cultivation was low now, he would definitely surpass them in two years.

This made them feel a little frustrated.

Seeing that none of his friends around him came to his aid, Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said graciously, "I don't have a Taoist partner at the moment. I'm focused on cultivation now, and I don't want to think about anything else."

When An Lan heard Luo Yu's words, she knew he was rejecting her, so she didn't pester him any further. "Junior Brother Luo is quite frank, which is a good character. However, I will not show mercy in the next competition."

Of course Luo Yu wanted it very much. Although he could not compare with Mu Qingli, he could still compare with ordinary practitioners.

"Senior Sister An, you come first."

An Lan nodded and took the lead in attacking.

The fight between the two went on very quickly, and Luo Yu was very gentlemanly and did not let An Lan lose too badly.

With the examples of Shen Lixin and An Lan in front of them, almost everyone present was convinced by them.

Although An Lan is not as strong as Shen Lixin, he can still rank among the top five in the group.

"Junior Sister Mu, I'd like you to be the leader, but can I challenge you?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke. His strength was not high, and he was even the last among everyone.

They all thought Mu Qingli would refuse, but Mu Qingli agreed: "Of course, who do you want to challenge?"
