Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 13 Competition
While cleaning up the scene, Zhou Qing recalled the scene just now and wondered if his supersonic iron balls had any other uses.

He soon thought that if instead of shooting the iron ball out, he let it rotate around him, this would be a good means of self-defense.

After all, no one would want to get close to someone with a supersonic projectile orbiting around them.

This means that even before he started practicing, he already possessed the ability to threaten high-level Qi-refining cultivators.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But he quickly suppressed his complacency.

His current strength is basically equivalent to that of an ant in the world of immortal cultivation, and it is far from the time for him to be proud.

What's more, he is now a glass cannon.

Although the iron balls he shot out were powerful, he himself was fragile.

If his iron ball missed his target and someone came in front of him, not to mention the immortal cultivators, even a strong mortal man could knock him down.

Only cultivating immortality can solve his problem.

What's more, there is one most tempting benefit of cultivating immortality... immortality!
While cleaning up the rubble, Zhou Qing waited for tomorrow's preaching with anticipation and anxiety.

Just as it was getting dark, he heard someone knocking on the door, and then Wei Xu's voice came from outside, "Is Brother Zhou home?"

Zhou Qing walked over and opened the gate, then asked with a smile, "Brother Wei, why are you here?"

Wei Xu glanced at the mess in his yard and asked in astonishment, "What is this?"

"It collapsed due to years of disrepair, but it's not a problem."

Zhou Qing said nonchalantly, "Brother Wei, is there anything wrong?"

Wei Xu nodded and said, "Just now, Senior Brother Wei Kuang suddenly came to me and asked me about you."

Zhou Qing's heart tightened, and he asked, "What did he ask about me?"

Wei Xu smiled and said, "Nothing much, just asking about Brother Zhou's passing of the test and his performance on the way to Qingyun Sect."

"That's strange."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Why is he suddenly interested in me?"

Wei Xu said, "Brother Zhou is just like that. When you're in a crowd, as soon as you open your mouth to speak, everyone's attention will be focused on you."

"Brother Wei, stop joking."

Wei Xu said seriously, "I'm not joking. I think this is the reason why Wei Kuang wants to know about you."

Zhou Qing's heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Wei, do you have any clues?"

Wei Xu smiled and said, "He asked me for information, so of course I didn't refuse, so I also heard some things from him."

"It is said that tomorrow we will receive instruction and begin training. After everyone has entered, the master will select a senior disciple from among the sixty registered disciples of the same class to assist the master in disciplining the other junior disciples."

Isn't this the class monitor...

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I think Wei Kuang wants to be the eldest senior brother, but what does this have to do with me? When a sect chooses a senior brother, it should naturally respect his cultivation level."

"I only have one spiritual root, so my cultivation speed should theoretically be only one-eighth of your eight spiritual roots. There's no way it will be my turn."

"Besides, we are so focused on cultivation that we worry about not having enough time. How can we have the energy to worry about so many other matters?"

Wei Xu said: "Brother Zhou only knows one side of the story, not the other."

"In the Qingyun Sect, the position of the eldest brother will control many resources. The sect will often assign tasks to disciples, and there will be corresponding rewards for completing the tasks. The eldest brother is responsible for recommending candidates to the sect."

"This alone is enough to make people jealous."

"If we are the eldest brother among the people from Yunzhou City, when assigning tasks, we can naturally be slightly biased towards our own faction and choose tasks that are less stressful and laborious, and have higher rewards."

"This will free up a lot of time for cultivation and also provide a lot of extra resources." "While cultivation is the primary consideration for the selection of the eldest senior brother, other factors are also taken into consideration, such as character, understanding, and reputation among the same class of disciples."

"After all, the sect selects a senior brother to help the sect discipline the others. We cannot choose someone who is at odds with his peers and therefore unable to fulfill his duties."

"The reason he's paying attention to Brother Zhou is because he sees that he's the most popular person among us."

This means that the position of eldest brother is indeed an important one.

Zhou Qing has no intention of running for election.

Since this position is so important, it is easy to become the target of public criticism and receive too much attention every day, and he is most afraid of attention now.

So, he didn't want to put himself in that position at all.

He was now more curious about Wei Xu's purpose.

Although the selection of the eldest senior brother takes various factors into consideration, cultivation is definitely the most important.

With his talent of only one spiritual root, under normal circumstances, no matter how strong he is in other aspects, it is difficult to make up for the defects of the spiritual root.

There is no way Wei Xu is unaware of this.

Zhou Qing's mind turned, and he immediately understood Wei Xu's intention. He smiled and said, "Brother Wei, are you also interested in competing for this position?"

Wei Xu did not hide anything and said sternly, "Brother Zhou's knowledge is broad and his character is strong, both of which are ten times stronger than mine."

"If Brother Zhou takes the seat of the eldest brother, I will be convinced. If it is someone else, I will inevitably fight for it."

Wei Xu’s meaning was very clear. If Zhou Qing wanted to compete for this position, he and the disciples of Yunzhou City would fully support Zhou Qing.

If Zhou Qing feels that he has no hope and does not intend to fight for it, Wei Xu hopes that Zhou Qing can support him with other disciples of Yunzhou City.

Zhou Qing asked, "Has Brother Wei told the other companions?"

Wei Xu shook his head and said, "I will first ask Brother Zhou for his opinion. After getting confirmation, I will visit the other companions one by one."

I have to say that the way Wei Xu does things makes people feel comfortable.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I hope Brother Wei can get what he wants."

Wei Xu's eyes lit up, he bowed to Zhou Qing, and left Zhou Qing's yard.

After seeing Wei Xu off, Zhou Qing saw that it was already dark, so he left the remaining work in the yard for later and returned to the main house to rest.

He couldn't help but think of what Wei Xu had just said.

This Wei Xu is truly a character. On the first day he arrived at Qingyun Sect, he understood the situation and decisively decided to gather forces to seek benefits for himself and those on the same side.

Even if such a person does not come to the world of immortal cultivation, he will still achieve something.

I'm afraid that the tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind. I hope he won't be broken so easily.

Zhou Qing quickly let the matter go.

He wanted to go to bed early to ensure that he would have enough energy to listen to tomorrow's sermon.

The next day, Zhou Qing got up before dawn.

The effect of the fasting pill is still there, so you don’t have to worry about meals.

He walked along the path in the bamboo forest and headed towards the top of the mountain.

There is a large platform on the top of the mountain, which is the preaching platform of Qingyun Sect.

New disciples will listen to the deacon of the Kung Fu Hall teach the Kung Fu techniques here and begin to practice under the supervision of the deacon.
