I am in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have a demonic beast clone!

Chapter 70, the high-energy chapter: The Bet! Disciples' Skill Competition! Updated! Read now:

In the sky, two streaks of light, one after the other, sped toward the direction of Green Wave Cave.

Zhou Ding and Yu Kun both stood on the flying boat, with the undulating Taiyue Mountains beneath their feet.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, sunlight filters through the gaps in the clouds, bathing the mountains in a golden hue. The cascading waterfalls and flowing springs shimmer with a crystalline light under the sunlight, creating a magnificent and breathtaking scene that soothes the soul.

But Zhou Ding had no time to appreciate the scenery.

He looked at Yu Kun beside him and asked, "Senior Brother, could you tell me why Master summoned me?"

Yu Kun, as Li Huayuan's eldest disciple, is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He is talkative, kind, and well-liked among his fellow disciples.

Upon hearing Zhou Ding's question, Yu Kun smiled slightly but did not answer directly.

"You're not the only one; the other junior brothers have been notified as well."

Zhou Ding was startled upon hearing this.

Have all the fellow disciples been notified?

Could it be that something big has happened?

Li Huayuan has eight disciples, who are currently staying in the sect.

The eldest disciple was Yu Kun, the third disciple was Liu Jing, the fourth disciple was Song Meng, the sixth disciple was Wu Xuan, the seventh disciple was Zhong Weiniang, and then there were Zhou Ding and Han Li.

Before this, Li Huayuan had never summoned all his disciples at the same time.

Could something big have happened?

What could it be?

A sense of doubt welled up in his mind.

He looked at Yu Kun, waiting for what he would say next.

Yu Kun remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Junior brother, do you still remember the old Daoist Fuyunzi of the Qingxu Sect?"

Zhou Ding was taken aback.

Fu Yunzi is a Core Formation cultivator from the Qingxu Sect. He has some connection with Li Huayuan and had met him before in the Blood Forbidden Land.

He nodded.

"Could this matter be related to Fuyunzi?"

Yu Kun sighed and explained the whole story.

The reason for this was actually the bet that Fuyunzi and Li Huayuan made when the Crimson Forbidden Land opened last time.

The two men bet on the gains their respective disciples would make in the forbidden area.

As a result, Li Huayuan won because of the dark horse Zhou Ding's appearance, and Fuyunzi lost to him a Bloodline Dragon's inner core.

The Bloodline Flood Dragon is a level-five demon beast, and moreover, a dragon-type demon beast. Its inner core is priceless and can be used to refine various rare pills, which are also of great use to Core Formation cultivators.

Fu Yunzi was heartbroken by the loss and felt resentful, which lingered in his heart.

Sure enough, after several years, he's back again.

This time, it's another challenge; he wants to gamble with Li Huayuan again.

After listening, Zhou Ding couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"This old Taoist priest has quite a gambling instinct."

Losing once isn't enough, do you want to lose again?

Upon hearing this, Yu Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"That's right. I heard that after Fuyunzi went back, he gave those disciples who participated in the Blood Forbidden Land a good scolding."

Zhou Ding nodded in understanding, but still had doubts in his heart.

"But what does this bet have to do with us disciples?"

Yu Kun shook his head.

"Our master didn't say, but we'll find out when we get there."

Zhou Ding remained silent and did not press the matter further.

The airship continued its journey.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a sacred peak appeared ahead.

The majestic Lingfeng Peak rises straight into the clouds, its summit shrouded in mist.

A huge waterfall cascades down from the mountainside, its waters flowing like a silver river falling from the heavens, creating a deafening roar.

A misty haze filled the air, forming a magnificent rainbow under the sunlight, spanning between the two mountain peaks—a truly breathtaking sight.

This is the location of Li Huayuan's Daoist temple, Green Wave Cave.

Two streaks of light landed in front of the waterfall.

Zhou Ding and Yu Kun put away their flying boat and were about to enter the cave when they heard another whooshing sound behind them.

A streak of gray light descended, revealing a person.

It was Han Li.

He still looked the same as always, wearing a drab gray Taoist robe, with an ordinary face, so plain that he would be easily lost in a crowd.

At this moment, he had a look of confusion in his eyes, clearly having received the notification but not knowing what it was about.

"Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Zhou," Han Li said, bowing respectfully.

Yu Kun briefly recounted the events.

After listening, a hint of doubt flashed in Han Li's eyes.

He glanced at Zhou Ding and saw that Zhou Ding's expression was calm and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry, which made him even more unsure.

The three of them entered the Green Wave Cave together.

……

Inside Green Wave Cave lies a hidden world.

After passing through the long passageway, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A bright and spacious hall appeared before us, measuring several tens of feet in size.

Dozens of luminous pearls were embedded around the hall, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.

In the very center of the hall, there was a long table made of rosewood.

On the table were several dishes of spiritual fruits: vermilion Zhu fruit, golden Huangjing fruit, and emerald green Qingling fruit; each one...
