You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Junior Sister Su, there are some promising talents among your disciples this year. You must work hard to cultivate!" An inner disciple sat on the referee's seat, looking at Su Wanying with an infatuated expression.

"Senior Brother Gu, I know that these menial disciples don't have as many cultivation resources as I do, and it's definitely not easy for them to break through to the late stage of Body Refinement in such a short time." Su Wanying smiled.

Seeing these outer sect disciples fighting to the death on the arena for such a small amount of cultivation resources, while she had inexhaustible cultivation resources without having to do anything, it was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.

But at this moment, she always thinks of Chen Huai'an in Huai Shu Village.

If Chen Huai'an had entered the Qingyun Sect with him, given his aptitude, the master wouldn't have accepted him as a disciple. Would he have ended up like these menial disciples, risking his life on the arena for a little bit of cultivation resources?

"Junior sister, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought." Gu Feiyu kept his eyes on the stunning beauty in front of him.

"Senior Brother Gu, it's nothing, I just thought of an old friend." Su Wanying felt a little sad when she thought of Chen Huai'an.

She and Chen Huai'an were destined to be from different worlds.

I wonder how he is now?

Seeing Su Wanying's melancholy expression, Gu Feiyu clenched his fists tightly.

"Alright, junior sister, since these people have upset you, and your senior uncle has completed the task assigned to you, let's hurry back to the inner sect," Gu Feiyu said calmly.

"Okay, Senior Brother Gu," Su Wanying said calmly.

She must now cultivate diligently. Only by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm can she return home to visit her family, see her beloved family members, and her brother Huai'an.

Su Wanying and the other inner disciples were just there to go through the motions, to set an example for the outer disciples and give them a goal to strive for.

Even if his menial disciples were outstanding, even if they were among the top three experts on the Spirit Ranking, they wouldn't catch his eye. In his eyes, these people were like ants.

"Damn it, what bad luck! That good-for-nothing Chen Huai'an actually forfeited. It's infuriating!" Gu Feiyu and Su Wanying said viciously as they walked through the rest area where the Zhang family members were.

When Su Wanying heard the name Chen Huai'an, her body trembled violently; she had actually heard that person's name.

Su Wanying turned around and glanced around, but she did not see that familiar figure.

"Junior Sister Su, what's wrong?" An inner disciple looked at Su Wanying strangely.

"It's nothing, it's just that the scenery on Zayi Peak is quite unique, so I wanted to take a closer look," Su Wanying explained, and then quickened her pace.

She must have misheard. This is Qingyun Sect, which is thousands of miles away from Huai Shu Village. How could Chen Huai'an possibly be here? She must have misheard.

Su Wanying was just a passerby at the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak, but even so, the miscellaneous disciples were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood when they saw such a talented person.

Chen Huai'an knew nothing about this matter.

However, even if he knew, he would still avoid seeing him.

Without equal strength, meeting will only cause more trouble.

If they were on good terms, they could have met at the Qingyun Gate market, but Chen Huai'an didn't.

The Spirit Ranking Challenge will not be canceled just because one person is missing. It is a grand event for the entire outer sect, and a grand event for fish to leap over the dragon gate.

Chen Huai'an forfeited and conceded defeat, ending his ranking in the top 200.

Surprisingly, for some unknown reason, Li Fugui, that old fellow, had incredible luck, skipping a round in the middle and making it into the top 200.

In the battle for the top 100, he was determined to give it his all. However, his luck ran out in the early rounds when he encountered a formidable opponent who crippled his arm.

His ranking can only be capped at the top 200.

Although he achieved a good ranking, he was ruined as a person. He lost an arm. Although his cultivation was not destroyed, his combat power was greatly reduced, his Dao heart was damaged, and coupled with his advanced age, he had little hope of making further progress.

When Li Fugui was eliminated, Liu Qiaogui and the others were filled with sighs of disappointment. They had participated in the competition together, but one of them knew when to quit while he was ahead, while the other did not know when to advance or retreat. In the end, he lost an arm and became a cripple.

From then on, all the water-carrying and handyman disciples were wiped out.

That evening, as soon as the challenge ended, Liu Qiaogui couldn't wait to find Chen Huai'an.

As soon as Chen Huai'an came out of the space, he heard the noise outside. He peeked out and saw that Old Man Li was being carried back on a stretcher.

"Brother Chen, you're really amazing! Did you see Old Man Li? He's practically finished." Liu Qiaogui looked at Chen Huai'an, remaining silent.

Chen Huai'an is a man who knows when to advance and when to retreat. If he hadn't given up and had chosen to continue fighting to the death, he might have ended up like Li Fugui.

These outer sect servants are truly insane in their desire to get ahead; everyone is working themselves to the bone.

This is their hope for rising in the sect. If they miss this opportunity, many of them will suffer the same fate as Li Fugui.

"Manager Wu, you see, I'm crippled. There's no future for me if I stay on the Miscellaneous Service Peak. I want to go home and enjoy my retirement, and see if I can train a few junior disciples with spiritual roots." The first thing Li Fugui did after stabilizing his injuries was to say goodbye to Manager Wu.

The kitchen staff had mixed feelings when they saw Li Fugui like this.

The most frustrated of all was Chen Huai'an.

He worked as a water-carrying disciple on Miscellaneous Peak. A big reason he didn't want to compete for the top 100 was that as a water-carrying disciple, he wouldn't have to carry water anymore, as that old man Li Fugui would do it for him. But now that he's packing up to retire and return to his hometown, he'll still have to do the water-carrying work from now on.

However, he also needs to use spiritual spring water to temper himself while carrying water, which will take a little more time. Consider it as tempering his body. As long as he has some time, he will definitely be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm. Once he breaks through, he can choose to register and enter the outer sect as an outer disciple.

Li Fugui bid farewell to Steward Wu, also serving as a warning to these menial disciples: if they did not cultivate diligently in the future, their fate would be the same as Old Man Li's.

With the sect's approval, Li Fugui set off down the mountain to return home early the next morning. Chen Huai'an and the other miscellaneous disciples watched from afar.

That afternoon, Manager Wu recruited another handyman to fill Li Fugui's vacancy.

"Brother Chen, at this rate of cultivation, it won't be long before you become an outer disciple, right?" After finishing the water-carrying task, Liu Qiaogui found Chen Huai'an.

"It's not that easy to break through. Once you reach the seventh level of the late Body Refinement Realm, the cultivation resources required to break through increase significantly. Without other income, it's very difficult to break through." Chen Huai'an frowned.

"Brother Chen, after you left that day, the sect leader's personal disciple arrived. He's a 16-year-old Qi Refining Realm expert, and he broke through to the Qi Refining Realm in less than two months of cultivation. It's really infuriating to compare people like that." Liu Qiaogui said with a smile, thinking of something.

"A disciple personally taught by the sect leader, a 16-year-old Qi Refining Realm expert?" Chen Huai'an unconsciously recalled Su Wanying, whom he had met at the Qingyun Sect market some time ago. She had also come to watch the challenge match of the handyman disciples.
