Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 167 Uneven Treatment

Qiu Ci was startled and quickly took a few steps back. She turned and went to the next room, where she pulled Juan Shan down from the wall. "No, what are you doing here?"

"I live here!" Old Man Juanshan pointed to the luxurious villa behind him, which was several times larger than Little Green Hair's house, and answered in a serious tone.

"Huh?" Qiu Ci was taken aback. "Weren't you staying in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel?"

"Oh, that was just a temporary residence," the old man from Juanshan replied. "This is the place that the Repair Management Bureau arranged for me." He only found out after moving here that it was right next to the student of the Venerable Master.

"So... the maintenance bureau even arranged housing for you!" Why didn't she have any?

“Yes!” Old Man Juanshan nodded. “They said this is just my residence in Yizhong City. If I go to another city, they will make further arrangements.”

"..."

"They also gave me two really ugly flying swords." He then pulled out two mid-level spirit swords and said, "They said they can only be used for flying, not for combat, and that there are some restrictions on license plates and speed limits. I don't know why they gave me such flashy but useless swords?"

"..."

"Oh right, he also slipped me a card without any spiritual energy." He pulled out a black card directly. "He said it's for my monthly allowance, and I can show it to buy things. He also said there's no limit, I can buy anything."

"..."

“There are a bunch of other things that I haven’t looked at carefully.” The old man from Juanshan said, glancing at her. “The Venerable One should have some too! Huh? Venerable One… Venerable One, where are you going?”

"Work!" she thought, gritting her teeth in frustration.
"..."

They all came from different states and were both at the Celestial Realm, so why did some become cattle and horses while others became capitalists?
She suddenly regretted suppressing her cultivation back then. She wasn't suppressing her cultivation; she was suppressing her financial freedom.

Qiu Ci arrived at Little Green Hair's house in a huff. Madam Wei wasn't home today, and Little Green Hair was noticeably more enthusiastic than last time, running over from afar.

"Teacher Chu!" Compared to yesterday, he was noticeably more energetic, and even the spiritual energy around him seemed more concentrated.

"You've found the sword's heart," Qiu Ci said affirmatively.

The little green-haired boy chuckled, scratched his green hair, and his attitude completely reversed from last time. He said seriously, "This is all thanks to Teacher Chu's guidance. By the way, Teacher..."

He suddenly remembered something, turned around and handed her a box, saying, "This is a thank-you gift. My dad told me to give it to you."

When Qiu Ci opened it, she found a box containing about a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Although the Divine Radiance Continent has its own currency, spirit stones are hard currency, which is no different from giving her a box of gold. If it were half an hour ago, she would have been very happy, but after the old man from Juanshan's blow, Qiu Ci said that she had lost all worldly desires.

"No need." She pushed the box back directly. "I'm getting paid, so it's my duty to teach you."

“Teacher…” Little Green Hair said anxiously and nervously, “I was impolite before, I apologize to you. If you don’t like spirit stones, I will prepare other gifts. Please continue to teach me sword cultivation.”

Since comprehending the sword heart, he has come to understand even more how big the gap is between himself and his teacher, how strong the other is, and how difficult it is to meet such a teacher. He had even looked down on him before. Little Green Hair wished he could go back in time and slap himself a few times.

"Alright!" Qiu Ci patted the green hair on his head. "I promised to coach you for a month, so I won't give up halfway. Let's go to the training room."

"..." Little Green Hair fell silent. He didn't just want to find a tutor for a month; he wanted Teacher Chu to be his true master. No one could remain unmoved after seeing yesterday's scene. He even had a vague premonition that Teacher Chu might be the greatest opportunity he had ever encountered in his life.

“If you want to participate in the league, it’s too late to start practicing the new technique now.” Qiu Ci pointed a finger at the little green-haired boy’s forehead, directly transmitting the improved technique into his sea of ​​consciousness. “This is my modified Thousand Crane Chant technique. Master it today.” “Today… today!” He was stunned for a moment, but after reading the contents of his sea of ​​consciousness, his expression became firm again. “Yes, teacher.”

The new technique is actually similar to the previous one, with only some minor changes. However, these subtle changes have transformed the technique, which originally focused on movement and speed, into one that emphasizes strength and bravery. Little Green Hair vaguely felt that the technique was much more powerful than before, and even had the illusion that it had surpassed the level of a mid-level technique.

He practiced very diligently, and Qiu Ci didn't tell him to stop, so he kept practicing until all his spiritual energy was exhausted.

Qiu Ci casually handed over a bottle of spiritual spring water, saying, "Drink it."

Without hesitation, he downed it in one gulp, and soon felt his spiritual energy replenished. He immediately opened his eyes wide and asked, "Teacher, is this a pill to replenish spiritual energy?" But why is it liquid?

"Let's just say that!" She hadn't refined pills in a long time and couldn't afford any more spirit-replenishing pills, so she gave him this.

Little Green Hair didn't ask any more questions and continued his studies.

For the next few days, he practiced the improved technique until he was completely used to it and no longer subconsciously used the old moves. Only then did Qiu Ci take out a magic talisman, and after transmitting spiritual power, a figure that looked exactly like Little Green Hair appeared in front of him.

"What...what is this?" The green-haired chubby boy was startled, and his flesh trembled.

"It's just a puppet talisman," Qiu Ci explained. "It can also use the Thousand Crane Chant. You'll be fighting it for the next few days. Only by defeating it will you have a chance of winning the league."

The chubby green-haired boy instantly became serious, scrutinizing the puppet before him. Apart from its expressionless face, it was exactly like him.

"Alright!" He gritted his teeth. It was just a matter of overcoming himself. After these few days of arduous training, he could clearly feel that he had made great progress, even comparable to a year of training in the past. He was confident that he could definitely defeat this puppet.

So he gripped his sword tightly, channeled all his spiritual power, and attacked his opponent, and then...

He was sent flying!
It's the kind of flight that goes from one end of the training room to the other, landing in a second!
"How is this possible!" The chubby green-haired boy, bruised and battered, got up. He had expected to lose, but he hadn't expected to lose so quickly. "Teacher, how can a Foundation Establishment stage puppet be so strong?"

"I didn't say it was the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Then what is it?"

"Late stage of Golden Core." Moreover, Qianheyin's cultivation technique is also at the full level.

Green-haired Fatty: "..." No, is it reasonable to use a Golden Core stage puppet to beat up a Foundation Establishment stage puppet?
He was about to protest when Qiu Ci said calmly, "Do you think all your opponents in the league will be Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?"

"..." The chubby green-haired boy fell silent.

After a while, the green-haired chubby boy stood up, picked up his sword, and charged again, only to be knocked away once more.

This time, however, he didn't complain at all, but got up again and again to fight.

Qiu Ci watched from the sidelines without intervening, only casting spells to heal the opponent when their injuries became too severe, since actual combat is always the best way to improve one's strength.

Of course... system synchronization is an exception.

I wasn't feeling well yesterday and stayed in bed all day, so I didn't update.

Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot to mention. I've seen a lot of people asking that this story doesn't have a male lead.
