Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

"Wake up!" Ye Kong vaguely heard someone calling him.

He kicked out a leg and turned over to continue sleeping.

This kick landed squarely on Elder Cheng Tian's leg, leaving a black mark on his snow-white robe.

Elder Cheng Tian's face darkened, and he waved his hand.

Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured straight down, instantly shocking Ye Kong awake. Soaked to the bone, he jumped three meters high.

"Who? Who is trying to murder me?" Ye Kong opened his eyes and saw the three elders leading a group of disciples staring at him as if he were a monkey.

Ye Kong landed and asked softly, "What's going on?"

"Ye Kong, we told you to transcribe the Sect Rules forty-nine times. It's one thing if you don't write them, but you actually fell asleep in the Scripture Pavilion! You have no respect for this sacred place!" Elder Cheng Kun said from the side.

"Didn't I finish copying them?" Ye Kong turned around. "Wait, where are the things I copied?"

The space in front of him was empty.

[System Prompt: Just now, someone took advantage of you sleeping to move out what you wrote and burn it as firewood.]

"Such a big deal, and you didn't wake me up?" Ye Kong was speechless.

[No worries, I've prepared a copy for you. It's on the third row of shelves in the Scripture Pavilion.]

"Thank you so much."

Ye Kong looked at the ill-intentioned people in front of him and said pretentiously, "I really did write it. I don't know who took it."

"If you didn't write it, you didn't write it. Don't make excuses like that."

Elder Cheng Tian was furious. "We can't keep someone like you in our Ascending Cloud Sect."

Oh, so they're using this as an excuse to get rid of me, Ye Kong realized.

"So what? I already thought copying it forty-nine times was unreasonable. A full ten thousand Sect Rules, that's four hundred and ninety thousand rules!

I ask you, among the disciples present, who can complete these Sect Rules in seven hours?" Ye Kong asked loudly.

All the disciples lowered their heads.

Ye Kong looked directly at Elder Cheng Tian. "Such a task, I'm afraid even you, Elder, can't complete it, right? Then why deliberately make things difficult for me?"

"Since it's a punishment, whether light or heavy, you must complete it. If you can't complete it, you must bear all the consequences."

Elder Cheng Tian's expression relaxed.

"Tian Yuan, you guys escort Ye Kong down the mountain."

Tian Yuan came over with a few disciples, but Ye Kong raised his hand to stop them.

"I was sent here by the Elder of the Primordial Courtyard, so I should be handed over to Sect Master Teng Renhuai first. Even if I'm expelled from the sect, it should be by Sect Master Teng Renhuai's order, right?"

"No need. I am fully responsible for all the important and minor affairs of the sect. This kind of small matter can be reported to Sect Master Teng Renhuai after it's dealt with."

So that's how it is.

"Do it!" With a command, several disciples surrounded Ye Kong.

"Wait!" Ye Kong interrupted again.

"Isn't it just four hundred and ninety thousand rules? You guys can't finish copying it, but I can." With that, under everyone's gaze, Ye Kong walked to the third shelf in the Scripture Pavilion, took out all the transcribed Sect Rules, pushed them out with a small cart, and placed them in front of everyone.

"Come on, count them."

"This!" Everyone was stunned.

A group of disciples immediately squatted down and began counting them one by one.

The countless stacks of paper piled high in front of them were obviously the best evidence.

Ye Kong yawned, obviously not taking them seriously.

"Reporting to Elder Cheng Tian, we've finished counting. It's exactly four hundred and ninety thousand rules," Tian Yuan reported.

Elder Cheng Tian leaned back, looked at Ye Kong, and was baffled.

"So, I've finished copying them. Can I go back and rest now?" Ye Kong looked up. The sun had just come out, it was still early, and he could still go back and sleep in.

"Then, see you later!" Ye Kong waved his hand and left the Scripture Pavilion.

At this moment, a disciple next to him suddenly asked in a low voice, "Huh, where's the table that was originally here?"

A group of people immediately chased out, but due to the embarrassment they had just suffered, they retreated back.

"Let's search carefully first."

On the way back, Elder Cheng Tian's face was very displeased. Being embarrassed by Ye Kong again and again was really shameful.

"At the competition later, if anyone loses, don't even think about entering Cheng Gongguan's door!"

Dong, dong, dong!

Three gongs sounded, and the morning competition officially began.

Ye Kong slowly walked over, yawning. He had changed into new clothes, a cyan base with a white patterned robe, and a silver patterned belt, a gift from Li Fan.

He said he had to thank Ye Kong for his help during this time.

Clothes make the man, that saying is true. Ye Kong now standing on the stage looks even more like a handsome young man, his smile almost reaching the back of his ears.

There were even fewer disciples watching from the stage today. It was said that they were reprimanded by the three elders yesterday and all punished to go up Xuan Yuan Mountain.

The first one to take the stage was Elder Cheng Kun, who was quite close to Elder Cheng Tian and also his most capable general.

Elder Cheng Kun was best at using talismans. The barrier set by his Mahayana Talisman Formation had yet to be broken.

"Then let's begin!" Elder Cheng Kun said, directly taking out a yellow talisman from thin air, gently blowing on it, and scattering it directly in front of Ye Kong, transforming into a raging fire.

Ye Kong put his palms together and moved forward, controlling the fire in the air, directly throwing it into the air, making a piercing explosion.

"Interesting."

Elder Cheng Kun raised his hand and started his stance, nine talismans appeared in front of him, with various colored patterns drawn on them. With Elder Cheng Kun's manipulation, the nine talismans were arranged in sequence, attacking Ye Kong with a triangular phantom array.

Ye Kong only glanced at it, immediately took out a blank talisman, casually drew a few strokes, forming a huge wind tunnel in the air, sucking the nine talismans into it.

Elder Cheng Kun's expression changed slightly, directly opening his palms wide, with a row of golden talismans lined up on them, quickly gathering their strength, and then pausing above Ye Kong for a moment, before suddenly turning down, like a sharp sword, fiercely stabbing over.

Ye Kong didn't panic, raised his foot into the air, his palm horizontal, like a long knife, cutting off the golden talismans one by one.

Looking from below, it was like a golden rain.

Elder Cheng Kun sat cross-legged, drawing circles with his palms, and rows of blood-red talisman papers flew out from behind him, entwined all over, forming a huge cocoon. Then, golden mantras gradually appeared on the blood-red talisman paper.

Elder Cheng Kun opened his eyes, stretched out his index finger, and added a few strokes.

The incantation was complete.

"Mahayana Incantation, descend!"

Subsequently, large swaths of blood-red talismans scattered, and began to surround Ye Kong at an extremely fast speed. Wherever they went, barriers rose up, restricting the spiritual power of the "living cocoon" within, leaving it helpless and only able to slowly wait for death.

This cocoon grew larger and larger, and gradually fresh dark red bloodstains appeared on the blood-red surface.

From beginning to end, Ye Kong didn't make a sound.

The exquisite Mahayana Talismans completely entangled, blooming an extremely enchanting red spiritual flower.

The disciples below exclaimed, "This is Elder Cheng Kun's secret technique, the Mahayana Incantation. As expected, no one can escape except Elder Cheng Tian."

"This Ye Kong is really overestimating himself. Now he doesn't even have a complete corpse left."

...

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the red cocoon.
