The Immortal Taoist Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Top five outer sect experts

"Half a month's time is enough for me to advance another level!"

Other people might need some sort of medicinal pellets or treasures to talk about nourishing the flesh, but Ling Dao did not. The countless sword energies in his body were the best panacea. After being refined by the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force, one could temper their body from the inside out.

There was still half a month of time until the outer sect compet.i.tion, so Ling Dao naturally would not waste it. Ninth Senior Brother Gao Bufan, indeed, lost to Ling Dao very early on, but he would not underestimate all of the outer sect disciples because of this.

From ancient times until now, there had been an uncountable number of geniuses in the world. Maybe there is a very powerful genius in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. He, Ling Dao, had a fortuitous encounter, and the others might have had a fortuitous encounter as well. If he could reincarnate, the others could also be reincarnated.

In his previous life, as a Sword Genius, he didn't dare look down on the heroes of the world. For example, the Purple Vine Holy Land's Holy Maiden, his talent was so high that even Ling Dao would not be able to compare to his. As the saying goes, there is a sky above a sky, and there is a person above others. One naturally cannot be too arrogant.

During this period of time, other people were naturally making preparations without restraint. The outer court disciples would compete once a year, so they had to pay attention to it. If he could become number one and obtain the Qi Condensation Pill, his chance of breaking through the true qi realm would increase greatly.

Once he broke through to the true qi realm, he would be able to become an inner disciple and at that time, he would be able to own his own courtyard. Moreover, after one becomes a true qi realm, they can be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.

"I must get back first place in this Great Sect Compet.i.tion. Xia Xinyao, just you wait, I am the senior! "

Inside the rear mountain, a young man who looked to be around eighteen years old said coldly. He was the previous outer sect disciple, eldest senior brother Teng Shaofeng. Unfortunately, some time ago, he was defeated by Xia Xinyao and became Second Senior Brother while Xia Xinyao became Eldest Senior Sister.

Teng Shaofeng let out a furious roar, and began venting in the mountain forest. He held a long sword in his hand as he constantly performed his sword techniques. Ancient trees collapsed one after another, their leaves fluttering in the air, venting out the anger in his chest.

"What eldest senior sister, what second senior brother, they will all be defeated by my sword this time." I, Wei Jingshan, am the most powerful, and you are not my match at all.

Wei Jingshan was ranked third among the outer sect disciples. Previously, his strength was indeed not as good as Xia Xinyao's and Teng Shaofeng's, but in this period of time, his strength had made a breakthrough and improved.

"They are probably full of fighting spirit and full of confidence. Unfortunately, this year's first place in the outer court-martial compet.i.tion would be mine. Why is it that I, Zhong Zhenhai, am only Fourth Senior Brother? Even Eldest Senior Brother is not enough to satisfy me, I am a man who wants to become an inner disciple! "

Zhong Zhenhai sat upright in the room with a fine steel sword between his legs. It was obvious that it was of a much better quality than an ordinary iron sword. Regardless of whether he was resting or doing other things, he could not leave her sword at all times.

Among the outer sect disciples, the eldest senior sister, Xia Xinyao, the second senior brother, Teng Shaofeng, the third senior brother, and the fourth senior brother, Zhong Zhenhai, were the four most powerful people. The one ranked fifth, on the other hand, was Lu Hong, so his strength wasn't bad either.

As for those after Lu Hong, their strength was obviously weaker by a grade. Even the Sixth Senior Brother was not a match for Lu Hong. There seemed to be a chasm between the sixth and fifth senior brother that was difficult to cross.

Just like a while ago, the Ninth Senior Brother Gao Bufan that Ling Dao defeated was much worse than the top five. Gao Bufan had once challenged Lu Hong, but unfortunately, he was no match for a single sword strike from Lu Hong. Not to mention, Lu Hong was only ranked fifth, there were four people above him who were stronger than him.

The five of them had the most confidence, but the other outer court disciples were also rubbing their fists and rubbing their palms together, seeming extremely excited. Even if he couldn't win the championship, it didn't matter. As long as he could get a good place in the outer sect disciples' compet.i.tion, he would definitely be able to have a good master in the future.

In the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, without a background, talent, or strength, it was difficult to stand out. If he accepted a very powerful master, then even if he couldn't do whatever he wanted in the sect, he wouldn't be afraid of being bullied.

"In this sect's great compet.i.tion, my goal is to enter the top 100. At that time, there might be an elder who is willing to take me in as a disciple!"

"Tch, you think you can enter the top 100? I suggest that you practice for a few more months. Do you think the top hundred is like cabbages? "

There were tens of thousands of outer sect disciples in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Those who could make it to the top one hundred were naturally not weak people. Those who were able to make it into the top ten were all experts. As for the top five, they all had their own methods.

Time flew by extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, fourteen days had pa.s.sed, and tomorrow would be the day of the outer court disciples' compet.i.tion. Those outer court disciples all appeared to be extremely excited, while Ling Dao took advantage of his free time to come to Jiang Ren's courtyard.

"Grandpa Jiang, I'm here to scrounge for food again!"

During their stay in Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Ling Dao and Jiang Ren had gotten more familiar with each other. As long as he had free time, Ling Dao would come to Jiang Ren's place and have a meal or drink with him. Jiang Ren didn't have any disciples or good friends within the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, so naturally, he would be extremely happy to have Ling Dao here.

Jiang Zhong had already written it clearly in his letter, telling him to take good care of Ling Dao. Moreover, Ling Dao treated him with extreme filial piety. Now, whenever Jiang Ren saw him, he would be full of smiles and appear extremely happy.

"Come on, come in and sit. Wait for me to cook some side dishes, then we'll have a drink together!"

Ling Dao naturally did not hold back and directly entered the room. Waves of fragrance drifted out from the kitchen, accompanied with the thick aroma of alcohol, making Ling Dao's appet.i.te increase. The dishes in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's dining hall were naturally far inferior to Jiang Ren's cooking skills.

"Tsk tsk, it's so fragrant. Grandpa Jiang's culinary skills have advanced once again!"

Not long after, four dishes were placed on the table, and Ling Dao even poured himself and Jiang Ren a bowl of wine. The old and young, on the other hand, were eating happily, and Jiang Ren seemed to be a few years younger.

"I said, don't give yourself too much pressure in the outer court-martial compet.i.tion tomorrow." Although the number one outer disciple can obtain a Qi Condensation Pill, the time you have to enter the sect is still too short. If he doesn't get first place this time, then he might as well get first place the next time. As long as you try your best, it's fine.

Every time Ling Dao came here, he was only to eat, drink, and chat with Jiang Ren. He did not reveal his true strength. Jiang Ren had always thought that Ling Dao was very weak. After all, he was alone, and the news from the outside world was not well-informed.

"Don't worry Grandpa Jiang, I know what I'm doing!"

Ling Dao laughed, and did not say any bold words, but when the time came, he would give Jiang Ren a surprise!
