Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 56 Tianhu Meeting
Niu Dali kept talking and venting his dissatisfaction.

Chen Mu nodded slightly and began to think about it.

In fact, according to ordinary disciples, there is nothing wrong with Lin Xuanming's arrangement. After all, their generation of immortal seedlings are not the main force in competing for the quota.

However, Niu Dali was a variable. With top-grade spiritual roots, he had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Condensation in ten years. His speed was astonishing and had surpassed most of the disciples of the previous generation of Immortal Seedlings.

The disciples competing for the quota are basically at this level, with only a few at the tenth level of Qi Condensation.

Therefore, Niu Dali had this in mind. If he could succeed, Dutian Peak would surely give him a generous reward...

Chen Mu still heard Niu Dali's voice in his ears. He thought for a moment, turned to look at Niu Dali and asked, "Brother Niu, even if the two of us really fought each other, do you think I could defeat you?"

Niu Dali, who was scowling, changed his expression upon hearing this and said with a smug smile, "That's definitely impossible."

"Can I stop you for a long time?"

Chen Mu did not refute and continued to ask with a smile.

Niu Dali nodded and said softly, "That's what I'm worried about. Even if I surpass you, I'll lose the opportunity to compete because I'll delay too long."

After hearing this, Chen Mu clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "That's it. Ultimately, it's because you're afraid that I'll delay you for too long... Isn't it enough for me not to stop you?"

Niu Dali sighed upon hearing this and said, "Second Brother, you think too simply. Since Lin Xuanming said so, he will definitely collude with his good friend Xu Yang from your Tianhu Peak and send you to stop me..."

"If you let me fight for it easily, he will probably cause trouble for you later."

Chen Mu disagreed. He gazed out at the sea through the window lattice and said leisurely, "During the battle, the elite disciples of the two peaks joined forces, and the situation changed in an instant... Who can say for sure that the previous arrangements were correct..."

"Since they want to see us two fight, then let's put on a good show for them..."

……

Half a month later, on the cliff of Duhai

The sky is clear and cloudless. It is a rare good day today.

Chen Mu stood up, pushed open the door of the pavilion, took down the white jade slip that was shaking in the air, and used his magic power to activate the sound transmission in the jade slip.

"Junior Brother Chen, come to the top of Tianhu Peak quickly." A soft and gentle voice like water sounded, but it was the message from Zong Bing, the senior sister of Tianhu Peak.

"Let's go to the top of Tianhu Peak first..."

Chen Mu put away the jade slip, circulated his magic power to perform the Spirit Turtle Invisibility Technique, hiding some of the magic power fluctuations in his body and restoring it to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

Then he packed up and headed straight along the road.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Mu reached the top of Tianhu Peak. He looked around and found that dozens of people had arrived earlier. He roughly identified them and found that four or five of them were immortal seedlings of the same generation as him.

"Junior Brother Chen..."

"Senior Brother Chen!..."

Although Chen Mu was not very close to them, they had been disciples of the same peak for several years. So when some disciples saw Chen Mu coming up, they all spoke out to salute him.

Chen Mu nodded in return, then found a place to stand at random, looked towards the high platform in the middle, and found that Zong Bing, who had transmitted the message to him, was discussing something with Xu Yang.

Seeing that the disciples around him were waiting silently, he turned his gaze away and closed his eyes to rest.

A moment later, the sound of cheerful footsteps brought Chen Mu back from his wandering thoughts.

"Junior Brother Chen! Long time no see." His tone was filled with joy and a little breath.

Chen Mu turned around and looked at the voice, then smiled. It was Senior Sister Han Jing who had been in seclusion for several months.

"Senior Sister Han, it's been a while since we last met. Have you made any progress after these months of hard training?"

Han Jing took two quick steps, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Mu, and replied crisply, "Of course there is! If there's no progress, then all my hard work would be in vain. It's been so long, and it's been so hard..."

Seeing her nose wrinkle slightly and appearing somewhat happy and proud, Chen Mu agreed with her and said, "That's good, senior sister is really amazing." Han Jing smiled and covered her mouth without saying anything.

After a moment, she turned slightly sideways, pointed at Zong Bing on the platform and asked, "Junior brother, have you seen Senior Sister Zong?"

Chen Mu was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he realized that she meant whether they had met in private or not, so he nodded and said, "I met him once two months ago..."

Han Jing nodded, and when she realized the two people on the platform had finished their discussion, she whispered, "Let's listen to them."

Chen Mu had no objection and looked over.

On the stage, Zong Bing and Xu Yang exchanged a glance, and then Zong Bing nodded. Xu Yang then spoke loudly, "My fellow junior brothers and sisters, I'm sure you all know why my senior sister and I sent you here... Tomorrow is the day of the battle between the two peaks. All the junior brothers and sisters who have participated in it before know..."

"A fight between two peaks means a fight for resources. In the last competition... our Tianhu Peak only had three spots. This has led to a scarcity of resources at Tianhu Peak over the past ten years, and we even need subsidies from the Peak Master every time..."

"So, in this competition, we must secure at least four spots. Only then can we gradually recover from our decline..."

"There are four spots. Senior Sister takes one, I take one, Junior Sister Ningxia takes one, and Junior Brother Ge takes one... The rest of you will help support them depending on the situation..."

Ningxia, who was wearing a green phoenix-patterned skirt, and Ge Guanghe, who was wearing a green robe, stepped forward together and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The disciples below the stage also agreed.

"As for Junior Brother Chen Mu and the others..." Xu Yang looked at Chen Mu and the other students from his class on the stage and said slowly, "Just be responsible for blocking the students from your class... We won't need you."

Chen Mu smiled slightly. Just as he expected, Zong Bing would agree to this proposal, so he immediately replied, "Yes."

Xu Yang was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Mu's straightforward answer, but then he smiled and nodded.

"Alright, then let's disperse. Tomorrow... you must complete your mission!"

"Yes……"

……

Chen Mu and Han Jing were walking down the steps, talking about tomorrow's competition, when a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Junior Sister Han, Junior Brother Chen..."

Chen Mu and the others turned around and saw the female cultivator in the green phoenix-patterned skirt.

"She is Senior Sister Ningxia..." Han Jing whispered in her ear.

Chen Mu nodded, and when Ning Xia approached, he asked, "Senior Sister Ning, is there something wrong?"

Ningxia smoothed the corner of her dress that was wrinkled from running, then replied with a smile: "It's nothing serious. It's because of tomorrow's competition, and I want to talk to Junior Sister Han Jing." After saying that, she looked at Han Jing on the side.

Han Jing understood Ning Xia's thoughts after hearing this and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Senior Sister Ning, I will do my best to help you keep your place tomorrow..."

Ningxia was delighted after hearing this and promised, "Junior Sister Han, I will definitely repay you for helping me so much..."

Han Jing waved her hand and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Ning, you're too polite..."

The two chatted for a few more words before Ningxia said her goodbye and left. It looked like she was going to find someone else...

"Senior Sister Han is at the same level as her, the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Why doesn't she want to take up a spot?"

After the person walked away, Chen Mu tilted his head and asked.

Han Jing pursed her lips and smiled, then replied, "Quotas are always obtained through consultation among the disciples of a peak, and they work together for it. It's not something I can get just by wishing for it..."

"If you want, I can help you..."

Hearing this, Han Jing raised her eyes to look at Chen Mu, stared at him for a long time, then curved her eyebrows, not caring whether Chen Mu was joking or not, just to cheer her up.

"When I first seized the pill, my junior brother told me the same thing..."
