Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 45: Senior Brother is Always Senior Brother

Fang Yuhe had never hated Zhou Qing as much as she did now.

Before, it was just out of contempt for his spiritual roots and mortal origins, but now there is an additional layer of personal grudge.

He stared at Zhou Qing, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Lin Hongyu was terrified. She was worried that Fang Yuhe would act impulsively and cause a disaster, so she immediately said, "Big Brother, since we have already found out that the mission should be given to Junior Sister Yuan, I will wait until next time. Why should we cause discord among our fellow disciples over such a small matter?"

Fang Yuhe turned around and looked at her, and said without a doubt: "I said that this mission is for you, and I will give it to you."

He looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Zhou Qing, let me take this mission. We'll keep our distance from each other from now on!"

Zhou Qingwei sarcastically said, "Brother Fang, what you said is funny."

"Initially, Brother Fang inexplicably brought people to show off in front of me. Afterwards, I failed to get a single mission for my fellow apprentices for half a month. Brother Fang said it was my own negligence, so I accepted it."

"Now that I've been lucky enough to receive this, Brother Fang is getting upset, saying something like, 'Mind your own business.'"

"My well water has never offended Brother Fang's river water. It was Brother Fang's river water that took advantage of its power to flood my well water. Why do you seem to be blaming me?"

"In a word, no!"

Fang Yuhe was originally a shrewd man, and he would never argue with Zhou Qing in public for a mere task.

But he had already promised Lin Hongyu in advance that he did not want to lose his credibility in front of her, so at this time he had no intention of backing off and stared at Zhou Qing with cold eyes.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

Yuan Hongying looked at Zhou Qing and Fang Yuhe for a while and realized that she needed to step in to ease the situation.

She understood that the two people in front of her were not used to giving in.

Fang Yuhe has been the eldest senior brother for six years. He has always been domineering and only others tolerate him. He has never given in to others.

Although Zhou Qing usually looks gentle and never speaks harshly, he is able to overwhelm an entire class of disciples with his humble qualifications, so he must be arrogant.

If no one intervenes, these two people will definitely cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Yuan Hongying hurriedly said, "Big Brother, why don't you let Senior Sister Lin take on this task?"

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Are you doing this voluntarily?"

Yuan Hongying said, "Senior Sister Lin is my neighbor. I often ask her for advice on cultivation. I don't want to argue with her over such a trivial task. If Brother Fang Yu hadn't come up and accused me of taking the job, and if his words hadn't hurt my eldest brother, I wouldn't have argued with him."

Hearing Yuan Hongying's generosity, Lin Hongyu felt embarrassed. She said, "Junior sister has been complaining about not having any spirit stones to use. Now she finally got a job. How can I snatch it from you? You should go."

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you don't have to give in to me. I know that you are preparing to break through to the third level of Qi Refining recently, and the errand in the Spiritual Garden is beneficial for condensing spiritual energy. You need this errand even more."

Having said this, she glanced at Fang Yuhe and said, "Senior Sister is a pioneer on the path of cultivation and should set an example for us who come after her."

"If Senior Sister successfully breaks through, Junior Sister will be even more inspired and courageous in pursuing the Dao."

After hearing her say this, Lin Hongyu was speechless.

Fang Yuhe looked at her amusedly and said, "Junior sister, are you saying in a roundabout way that I won't set a good example for those who come after me?"

Yuan Hongying said, "Senior Brother Fang, you're overthinking it."

Fang Yuhe said, "No matter what, if you're willing to give up the mission, I'll be grateful to you. The next time I get a mission, I'll give you one." Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "No thanks. My affairs are handled by my eldest senior brother, so there's no need for you, Senior Brother Fang."

Fang Yuhe was in a trance for a while.

The intimacy and admiration in Yuan Hongying's tone were the same as when Junior Sister Lin was with him.

He had always looked down on Zhou Qing in his heart, but at this moment he suddenly realized that Zhou Qing was actually a qualified senior brother.

With such a humble background and talent, he was able to achieve this. Zhou Qing is indeed a man of means, and I shouldn't have looked down on him.

A dispute was resolved just like that.

The two parties disliked each other, and since the problem had been resolved, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

Zhou Qing and Yuan Hongying immediately went down the mountain and headed towards Ziyun Mountain.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Isn't it a pity to miss out on an opportunity to earn spirit stones?"

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "What's a pity? Big Brother will never treat me unfairly, right?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Next time there's a chance, I'll give it to you first."

Yuan Hongying smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

After a while, she suddenly became afraid and said, "Just now I was really afraid that you two would fight. I heard that Fang Yuhe has already broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining. He has a fire spiritual root and has mastered several fire spells. If we fight, the two of us combined won't be able to match a single one of his hands. Brother, you are too reckless. Why did you confront him head-on? It's just a mission."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "What are you thinking? This is Qingyun Mountain. There are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators on this mountain, and there are two Golden Core cultivators. How could he dare to make a move?"

"The sect's current philosophy is to create an environment where registered disciples don't need to fight, so that they can calmly accumulate their cultivation without being obsessed with offensive tactics. The sect elders will not watch their disciples fight."

As he spoke, he recounted the news he had heard from Chen Qingxuan.

Yuan Hongying finally understood why Zhou Qing was so fearless. Hearing that he was planning to practice formations, Yuan Hongying asked curiously, "Brother, how is your cultivation now?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's only two inches of spiritual pressure. Where's my junior sister?"

Yuan Hongying said: "It just reached six inches."

Zhou Qing secretly calculated that after two months of preaching, he had cultivated a three-inch spiritual pressure, while Yuan Hongying had a four-inch one.

Now, nearly another month has passed. With the help of the spirit stone and the enhanced ability of his magnetic field to capture spiritual energy, his spiritual pressure has increased by two inches in this month, which is comparable to Yuan Hongying's progress.

This shows that his cultivation speed is similar to Yuan Hongying's eight spiritual roots.

Unfortunately, he only used spirit stones to practice for three days during this month, otherwise his practice speed would have been much faster.

Seeing that he remained silent, Yuan Hongying thought he was uncomfortable and immediately regretted asking this question.

You know that the eldest brother only has one spiritual root, yet you still ask such a sensitive question. Hongying, why did your brain suddenly become so stupid?
She chose her words carefully and said, "Don't mind me, brother. There are fast and slow ways of walking, but the true meaning is to walk far."

"Junior sister just happened to take two steps faster. The future is still unknown."

"No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, a senior brother is always a senior brother."
