Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 229 Bai Yujing: You've Already Seeked Your Death
Upon hearing Zhou Qing's name, Bai Yujing instinctively shuddered.

In recent years, this name has almost become his nightmare.

Although Bai Yujing has made great progress since their last encounter, he is now a Golden Core cultivator and the first among his ten fellow disciples to break through to the Golden Core stage. He is now very popular in the Seven Emotions Sect and has completely made up for his previous defeat.

But he knew that even if he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he would be nothing more than a clay chicken or a clay dog ​​in front of Zhou Qing.

The encounter a few years ago, in which Zhou Qing calmly suppressed three Golden Core cultivators and ultimately killed the Shadow Elder of the Demon Slayer, left a deep impression on Bai Yujing.

Therefore, he has always wanted to find a way to restrain Zhou Qing.

He thought to himself that Zhou Qing had not been cultivating for long, and his skills were mostly due to his extraordinary talent in array formations.

However, formations are not omnipotent. No matter how powerful a formation is, it cannot compensate for the weakness of the formation master who controls it.

If he could find a way to break through the formation and directly attack the formation master, then Zhou Qing would no longer pose a threat to him, and he would be able to avenge himself.

Bai Yujing quickly thought of using divine sense attacks.

Spiritual attacks are also a common attack method among cultivators.

To deal with cultivators whose cultivation level is far lower than one's own, a cultivator can easily subdue them by using their divine sense to suppress their mind and shatter their Dao heart.

Bai Yujing naturally employed similar methods.

But he understood that ordinary mental attacks might not be effective against Zhou Qing.

He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the scene of lightning crisscrossing within a ten-zhang radius of Zhou Qing.

No cultivator dared to use their divine sense to test the might of lightning.

Unless it is a divine thought that has undergone special cultivation.

In the cultivation world, there is a type of cultivator who focuses on cultivating their divine sense. They have mysterious methods that can protect their divine sense and allow them to attack others in strange and cunning ways.

Bai Yujing was eager to obtain such a method.

After making inquiries from various sources, he learned that an ancient Golden Core cultivator was buried in the Lian Gu Mountains. He was a cultivator who specialized in cultivating divine sense, so he came to check the situation.

Upon learning that seven Foundation Establishment families in the Lian Gu Mountains had discovered a Golden Core realm and were waiting to be excavated, Bai Yujing guessed that this must be what he wanted, so he joined the Li family, hoping to enter the realm together.

Unexpectedly, before the secret realm even opened, the Li family suddenly welcomed Zhou Qing.

Bai Yujing was greatly surprised.

If he were to encounter Zhou Qing at this point, he didn't think he would be as lucky as before and be able to escape.

Bai Yujing was caught off guard when Li Zuowu had already instructed Zhou Qing to be brought in.

Before long, the clansmen guarding the gate brought Zhou Qing in.

Bai Yujing frowned as he looked at the gloomy-faced, extreme-tempered young cultivator. Before Li Zuowu could speak, he took the initiative to say, "You are Zhou Qing?"

Zhou Qing glanced at him sideways and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Zuowu smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Zhou. This is Mr. Bai Qing, a guest of the Li family. If Mr. Zhou is willing to stay with the Li family, the Li family is also willing to treat him as a guest."

Bai Qing…

Why would this guy give himself such a fake name? Could it be that the battle a few years ago turned him into a masochist, making him even associate his fake name with himself?

Zhou Qing couldn't help but complain inwardly, while saying, "Mr. Bai has been scrutinizing me ever since I came in. Is there anything you can do to enlighten me?"

Bai Yujing asked, "I'm asking, are you Zhou Qing?" Zhou Qing snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Bai, are you either an idiot or deaf? I've already had someone announce my name; don't you know that?"

Bai Yujing was furious, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly dispelled the killing intent and revealed his signature smile, saying, "Mr. Zhou, please don't misunderstand. You share the same name as an old friend of mine. I was a little surprised to hear your name just now."

Zhou Qing raised his head and said arrogantly, "You should be glad that your old friend is not here. One Zhou Qing in this world is enough. If there were another Zhou Qing in front of me, I would not tolerate him."

You ignorant fool!
Bai Yujing sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "If you really faced Zhou Qing as an enemy, you would know how insignificant you are."

He held this new guest in utter contempt, but upon learning that this Zhou Qing was not the same Zhou Qing as before, he was finally relieved.

Li Zuowu asked, "I wonder what level of cultivation Mr. Zhou has reached?"

Zhou Qing remained silent, directly dispelling the technique that had been used to conceal his aura, and unleashed a powerful spiritual pressure, as if a giant furnace had suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Foundation building!"

Li Zuowu looked excited and said, "This is truly heaven's help!"

"With Mr. Zhou's help, the opportunity to enter the secret treasure is already in the hands of my Li family."

"Mr. Zhou, please feel free to make any requests, and the Li family will do its best to meet them."

Zhou Qing glanced at Bai Yujing and said, "What are his conditions? My conditions cannot be worse than his."

Li Zuowu was taken aback and said, "Mr. Bai has no other requests, as long as the techniques and spells within the secret treasure are shared with him after they are unearthed."

Bai Yujing wants the secret cultivation techniques and spells hidden in the treasure trove?

What value does a Golden Core cultivator's cultivation technique have that would make him come here in person?
Despite his doubts, Zhou Qing continued speaking with an arrogant expression, saying, "I want one too. In addition, I want one low-grade spirit stone to offer every day before the secret treasure is opened."

Li Zuowu's expression changed slightly.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, low-grade spirit stones are practically meaningless. Zhou Qing's specific mention of them wasn't really about acquiring spirit stones, but rather an attempt to humiliate Bai Qing, implying that his conditions were "a little" better than Bai Qing's, and also indicating that his status was higher than Bai Qing's.

It's like at an auction, where you bid one million, and someone else bids one million and one.

This is not just a simple auction, but a fierce competition.

Li Zuowu immediately realized that Zhou Qing was an arrogant and vindictive person who held a grudge against Bai Qing for his initial offense.

Li Zuowu felt a headache coming on. He turned to look at Bai Qing and saw that he was still smiling, which put his mind at ease.

Although Bai Yujing had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as ice.

In his eyes, the person in front of him was already a dead man.

He shared the same name as Zhou Qing, which was already a taboo for him and a death sentence. Now, he dared to step on his head. If he didn't have other plans in mind, he would have taken the other party's life right now.

In order not to ruin the plan, he had no choice but to be patient for the time being. When the secret treasure was opened, he would let this guy know what a terrible person he had offended.

Li Zuowu understood that he absolutely could not allow these two troublemakers to coexist.

He immediately summoned servants to take Zhou Qing to a quiet courtyard in the Li residence.

Zhou Qing was stunned as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.

Standing neatly in the courtyard were more than twenty girls, only fourteen or fifteen years old. Each of them was beautiful and had fair skin. It was obvious that they had been specially trained and had not done any physical labor since childhood, which was why they had developed such a graceful posture.
