There's something wrong with the general.

"Yuxi, long time no see."

Wei Qingchen stood in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.

Wen Yuxi scratched his head, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Qingchen, it's you. You see, I've been busy with my studies recently and haven't had time to contact you. I was thinking of asking you out for a get-together when I'm free in the future."

Wei Qingchen smiled slightly and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about I invite Yuxi to dinner today?"

Wen Yuxi was about to refuse.

He suddenly moved closer and whispered, "Young Master, you won't be so unkind, will you?"

To be honest, Wen Yuxi had only met him once and they didn't have much of a friendship.

At this point I couldn't help but feel a bit caught in a dilemma.

To be honest, he didn't want to go, but if he didn't go, it would not be good to see them every day after Wei Qingchen invited him so warmly.

Wen Yuxi had no choice but to nod.

They talked as they walked, exchanging greetings along the way.

Half a quarter of an hour later, in the cafeteria.

Wei Qingchen ordered two signature dishes and paid for them without permission.

Wen Yuxi smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you, Qingchen. I'm sorry for the expense."

Wei Qingchen smiled gently: "Yuxi, what are you talking about? It's just a meal."

He curled the corners of his lips, moved closer and teased, "If you feel bad, then treat me next time."

Wen Yuxi raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you already fasting?"

"Of course you can eat while fasting, but you won't have as many appetites as you would like."

Wen Yuxi blinked and smiled, "Then I must hurry up and improve my cultivation. It will be much easier if I start fasting soon. I don't want to suffer the feeling of being hungry at a certain time anymore."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingchen glanced at him and said, "Yuxi was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage before, but in just one month, you've reached the eighth level. I now understand why the Grand Elder wanted to accept you as his disciple."

Wen Yuxi felt a little ashamed. Didn’t he know his own weight?

He quickly waved his hands and said, "Just lucky."

"Yuxi, you know that the triennial sect competition will be held in three months."

Wei Qingchen said seriously: "I know you are just getting started, but you should also be prepared."

Wen Yuxi was stunned: "Isn't there still more than half a year left? How come it's brought forward?"

The Jiuxuan Sect holds a sect competition every three years, and the disciples' competition is divided into two stages.

Qi Refining Stage versus Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage versus Foundation Building Stage.

There are also age restrictions for participating disciples. Disciples in the Qi Refining stage must not be older than 30 years old, and disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage must not be older than 50 years old.

It was originally scheduled to be held after the Spring Festival next year, but for some unknown reason, it was held earlier than scheduled.

"Because the various sects of cultivation are organizing a grand competition."

"A big competition? Does each sect select some people and then compete with other sects?"

Wen Yuxi thought, isn’t this just a league?

Wei Qingchen nodded and said, "This competition is tentatively scheduled for March next year. Therefore, before that, our sect will use the sect competition to select the best people to participate in the Immortal Cultivation Competition."

Wen Yuxi was a little puzzled. This league came out of nowhere and he had never heard of it before.

"Qingchen, do you know why the various sects are holding this competition?"

Wei Qingchen's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned closer to Wen Yuxi, lowering his voice, "It's said that a wandering cultivator discovered a secret realm and reported it to the Wanjian Sect. They originally wanted to keep it to themselves, but somehow the news leaked out, and the other sects disagreed, which is why the Immortal Cultivation Competition was held."

Wen Yuxi nodded thoughtfully.

Since this competition was held so hastily, the secret realm must be about to open.

"Thank you Qingchen for the reminder. I will practice hard these days and make preparations early."

Wei Qingchen smiled and said, "You're welcome, Yuxi."

The two chatted about some irrelevant things, finished their meal, and then left.

In the dormitory, I don’t know whether Senior Brother Jiang Ling has successfully shed his skin.

He didn't dare go back rashly, for fear of disturbing him and causing all his efforts to be wasted.

It was already dark outside.

He was strolling outside alone.

While walking, I thought about what Wei Qingchen said.

There are countless natural treasures in the secret realm, so he naturally wants to go there.

Since you want to go, you must stand out in the sect competition.

But he didn't quite understand. If they wanted to obtain more treasures in the secret realm, why not let more Foundation Establishment disciples participate?

Instead, why do we have to let some disciples in the Qi Refining Stage go?

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so Wen Yuxi simply gave up thinking about it.

There are only three months left until the sect competition, and during this time, he can only continue to improve his cultivation.

However, the more you improve your cultivation, the greater the gap between the spiritual power of the fire spiritual root and the water spiritual root in your body will become.

In order to stabilize his cultivation, he was determined not to transmit the spiritual power of his fire spiritual root.

So, now we are stuck at this point.

Wen Yuxi stood on the empty path of the sect, scratching his head in distress.

With a "flutter", something fell in front of him.

He looked up and couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Hei, you're back?"

Xiao Hei held his head high, flapped his wings and bumped into Wen Yuxi: Come up.

Wen Yuxi couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What are you going up there for? I can't go anywhere now."

Xiao Hei stretched his neck, rubbed his shoulder, and went straight under his body: Come up quickly.

Wen Yuxi couldn't persuade it, so he had to hold his neck and jump on.

With a "whoosh", it soared into the air.

Wen Yuxi was startled and quickly put her arms around its neck, pretending to be angry and said, "Xiao Hei, you are too naughty. I almost fell down just now."

Xiao Hei raised his neck and hummed twice, then turned his body in the air and dived down again.

Then it flies upwards again, following the trajectory of the wave line.

Wen Yuxi thus tasted the pain of riding a roller coaster.

Finally, Xiao Hei landed on an open space.

Wen Yuxi jumped off it and almost fell down, feeling dizzy. Fortunately, he managed to hold onto Xiao Hei.

He raised his finger, tremblingly pointed at Xiao Hei, and accused bloody words: "You you you..."

Not a word was uttered.

Xiao Hei, however, withdrew his body in high spirits and dodged to the side.

Then he stretched his head and pointed inside.

Wen Yuxi looked up and almost fainted.

This stinky little black guy actually brought him to Senior Brother Zhiming's residence.

Wen Yuxi squatted down hurriedly, waved at it, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Hei, come here quickly, let's go back quickly."

Xiao Hei ignored him, flapped his huge wings a few times, kicked off the ground, and flew away.

Wen Yuxi was left facing the wind with tears streaming down her face.

This traitor was so angry that Wen Yuxi wanted to stamp her feet.

But he was afraid of disturbing the people in the house, so he had to put his foot down carefully.

No, why should he feel guilty?

This is my senior brother's place. He came here as he pleased. Can my senior brother chase him away?

As for what happened in the morning, he didn't mention it and his senior brother wouldn't mention it either, so isn't it over?

If senior brother really wants to transfer the spiritual power of the water spirit root to him.

Then......

Wen Yuxi gritted his teeth and said, for the sake of the sect competition, he he he he...had to eat this charity!

Wen Yuxi himself also wanted to ask himself where his moral integrity was.

But after all, times have changed. Can moral integrity be eaten?!

So, half a minute later, someone who had prepared for the ideological struggle finally knocked on Zhiming's door.

"Brother, you are here, but have you thought it through?"
