They are the women standing behind me.

Throughout the ages, not to mention the creations and legacy left by the sect’s outstanding predecessors, a lot could have been collected just by collecting from everywhere.

Qin Xingyuan, on the other hand, had to choose what to study.

Therefore, Guo Yangzhou himself couldn't even present the inferior ones, and if the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect knew about it, they would think it was an insult.

Moreover, he had personally witnessed the battle between Qin Xingyuan and his beloved disciple Xu Yuanqing. As a great man who had made it all the way to the Tribulation Realm, he was not a blind man and could naturally see the great potential that Qin Xingyuan possessed.

……

With mixed feelings, Xu Yuanqing once again came to the gate of the courtyard where Qin Xingyuan lived and shouted.

Not long after, Gu Yirou and Ye Yunmei came out together.

"Greetings, Senior Gu, and Senior Ye!"

Xu Yuanqing greeted him respectfully, "Is Fellow Daoist Qin here? I have something to discuss with him."

"Xu Xiaoyou, you came at an inopportune time. Junior Brother Qin is busy and it will probably take some time for him to be free."

Gu Yirou smiled gracefully and said, "But if you have anything to say, please tell me first and I will pass it on to Junior Brother Qin. Of course, Junior Brother Xu can also come over more often in the future. Junior Brother Qin will definitely be very happy to be friends with Junior Brother Xu."

After all, Junior Brother Qin has no friends at all.

Besides her, the only person he often came into contact with was Ye Yunmei.

Gu Yirou naturally hoped that Qin Xingyuan could have friends. If he could get along with others, perhaps he would be able to gain more influence from the people around him.

She was really worried.

Xu Yuanqing laughed dryly and said, "Be friends with Qin Xingyuan?"

just forget it.

He was afraid that one day he would be with Qin Xingyuan, and the fire in the city gate would affect him, and he and Qin Xingyuan would be beaten to death together, which would be an unjust and aggrieved death.

Of course, he could think whatever he wanted, but Xu Yuanqing would never show it at all. At least he nodded on the surface.

Gu Yirou praised him earnestly, "Xu Xiaoyou, although my Junior Brother Qin can be a bit arrogant and conceited at times, he does have many strengths. He's truly quite good. I'm not deliberately praising him, but he's diligent and studious, eager to learn, and extremely hardworking and motivated..."

"..."

The charming Ye Yunmei glanced at Gu Yirou silently. She was very skeptical. Could it be that her good sister and best friend really thought so?

"Senior Gu, naturally, naturally."

Xu Yuanqing nodded repeatedly and changed the subject, "Senior Gu, I've come to find Fellow Daoist Qin because I'm following Master's orders to gift him a sword formation. This formation is called the Mountain and River Sword Formation, and it's quite powerful. It's one of our sect's most important sword techniques. I also want to discuss something with Fellow Daoist Qin."

"Master Xu is so kind. Please go back and tell your master that my Junior Brother Qin will definitely remember this kindness."

Gu Yirou smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder what's the matter with you, Mr. Xu?"

"Uh……"

Xu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment. "Senior Gu, didn't Fellow Daoist Qin say something... startling earlier? I'm sure there will be no shortage of geniuses coming to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect to challenge him in the future. So I was thinking if I could tell Fellow Daoist Qin that I'd spread the word. If anyone comes to challenge him, they'll have to get past Xu Yuanqing of the Taixu Ancient Sect first. This way, Fellow Daoist Qin can save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, no matter who challenges him, if Fellow Daoist Qin doesn't accept the challenge, it won't sound good if the news gets out."

Although this was his master's order, he was not stupid and would not move Guo Yangzhou out.

Gu Yirou and Ye Yunmei exchanged a glance before Gu Yirou said, "Okay, I'll tell Junior Brother Qin about this."

The work was done, and Xu Yuanqing didn't plan to stay any longer, but he still asked curiously, "Two seniors, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Qin is busy with?"

"Learning alchemy, refining equipment, making talismans, fortune-telling..." Ye Yunmei said with a sweet smile.

"!"

Xu Yuanqing looked at Ye Yunmei in disbelief, moved to tears. "Fellow Daoist Qin, your appetite is so voracious? Isn't he afraid that learning so much will greatly affect his cultivation?"

Ye Yunmei replied with a half-smile, "So, Xu Xiaoyou, you must not learn from Junior Brother Qin, who doesn't know that greed is the key to success."

However, Xu Yuanqing suddenly discovered that while he was gathering with his friends, chatting and speaking freely, Qin Xingyuan was enduring loneliness alone, working hard to improve and enrich himself, so that he could master as many things as possible!

He is not only a peerless genius, but also works hard every minute, is diligent and studious, and never wastes any time.

Then he can forget about surpassing Qin Xingyuan. Even if he can prevent the gap between them from getting bigger and bigger, it would be considered remarkable.

Even Xu Yuanqing has been interacting with many disciples in the sect until now...

When he thought of this, he really thought about it carefully. What did he get?

He knew many people from the same clan, but this did not improve him at all and it also took up a lot of his time that he should have used for cultivation.

If he had used the time he spent interacting with others to become stronger, would he be stronger now?

No matter what you say, the real thing is to take the path of cultivating immortals, which goes against the will of heaven and become stronger, more outstanding and more excellent. Everything else is false.

When you really go out, what else can you rely on besides yourself?

It was impossible for him to carry the sect, his master Guo Yangzhou, and his friends around with him.

To take a step back, even if you get to know more people now, how many of them can reach the realm of distraction and the realm of unity?

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin has already fully understood this? Is that why he's unwilling to waste even a single bit of his precious time on interpersonal relationships?"

Xu Yuanqing frowned and muttered to himself, "But no matter what, if I don't work as hard as he does, let alone surpass him in the future, I'm afraid the gap between us will only get bigger and bigger, and eventually I won't even be able to see his back!"

Gu Yirou looked at Xu Yuanqing in a daze and couldn't help but call out, "Xu Xiaoyou?"

"Senior Gu, Senior Ye, I'm leaving!"

Xu Yuanqing came back to his senses, said this seriously, then turned around and ran away.

Gu Yirou and Ye Yunmei were stunned.

Why did he run away suddenly?

Xu Yuanqing seems a bit strange?

Ye Yunmei then glanced at Gu Yirou, as if she had thought of something. With a faint smile, she said in a soft voice, "Yirou, actually, when I heard you say that just now, I really realized that what you said is true. It seems that Junior Brother Qin, apart from being a bit arrogant and conceited, is really...unmatched in other aspects!"

Her last words were quite significant.

"Yes."

Gu Yirou sighed with mixed feelings as if she was unaware of it, "Yunmei, Junior Brother Qin was so good in every way, but in the end... Sigh..."

Then she shook her head, turned around and walked towards the pavilion.

The turbulent Ye Yunmei also turned around, but stood at the door, staring at Gu Yiru's graceful back without any movement.

Then her watery peach blossom eyes gradually narrowed, and she tilted her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

Chapter 21: Those who come with evil intentions will not be visited by those with good intentions?

……

After the sect alchemist who came to teach Qin Xingyuan how to make pills left, Gu Yirou gave Qin Xingyuan the Mountain and River Sword Formation that Xu Yuanqing had sent, and also relayed what Xu Yuanqing had said to Qin Xingyuan...

Qin Xingyuan naturally agreed.

Otherwise, if he has to fight back no matter who challenges him in the future, wouldn’t he be extremely busy?

So after Gu Yirou sent a sound transmission note to Xu Yuanqing, Qin Xingyuan chatted with the two senior sisters for a while and then began to meditate and practice.

……

Now, in addition to practicing, reading books eagerly to learn new knowledge, sparring with Senior Sister Gu, and listening to Senior Sister Gu's teachings, Qin Xingyuan has a lot more things to do every day.

Learn alchemy, weapon forging, talisman making, fortune-telling, feng shui, stargazing, and so on.

He can learn anything as long as it is beneficial to him, and he wants to develop himself well-roundedly - he knows a little bit of everything.

So he really felt that his time was not enough and he wished there were a hundred hours in a day.

But honestly, this feeling of striving to improve every day, knowing more, understanding more, and mastering more, is constantly enriching and enriching myself...

It feels so good!

It was addictive for him.

So even though it was tiring and hard, he enjoyed it - occasionally he could look at Senior Sister Gu's stunningly beautiful face and Senior Sister Ye's beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings to relieve his fatigue.

……

Xu Yuanqing is also quite busy.

Now many people come to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect to watch the fun, wanting to see what Qin Xingyuan, who is so arrogant and conceited that he is openly targeted by the Sword Sect, looks like.

There are also many people who want to challenge Qin Xingyuan and become famous by stepping on him.

As a result, he was able to compete with many people, and also "make friends through martial arts", getting to know many people. Not only could he fight, but he also expanded his network of relationships.

Of course, those who came to challenge him couldn't even pass this level.

After he finished his battle with the man who had come to challenge Qin Xingyuan today, the man raised his hands and clasped them together, saying admiringly, "Fellow Daoist Xu is truly formidable. I'm willing to admit defeat."

The people around were also whispering and talking to each other, and the noise was quite noisy.

The more powerful Xu Yuanqing performed, the more afraid they were of Qin Xingyuan's strength - Xu Yuanqing couldn't even withstand a single move from Qin Xingyuan!

"Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your letting me."

Xu Yuanqing raised his hands and clasped them together, preparing to return to his training. Unexpectedly, a young man with long black hair tied up and a scar on his face quietly appeared. He was holding a piece of green grass in his mouth and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed quite powerful."

"I haven't asked you yet, who are you?" Xu Yuanqing asked politely.

“The Sword Sect’s Jindan realm early stage cultivator, Shang Shishen.”

The young man introduced himself.

Xu Yuanqing showed a hint of surprise on his face. How deep is the business world?

Of course he had heard of this person.

After all, the Sword Sect was indeed a rather unique and powerful force in the Far South. The founder of this sect was a peerless figure who had once been invincible throughout a great era...

Naturally, he would pay attention to the more outstanding and powerful disciples of this sect who were at the same level as him.

Xu Yuanqing was also somewhat suspicious. The Sword Sect had clearly targeted Qin Xingyuan before. Could it be that this person had come from afar on the sect's orders?

If those who come with evil intentions do not come, then those with good intentions will not come?

Is there any big shot from the Sword Sect hiding in the dark?

"If Fellow Daoist Shang wants to fight Fellow Daoist Qin..."

Xu Yuanqing didn't care what this person was doing, but when he met a strong man of the same realm, he wanted to compete with him, so he said with high fighting spirit: "You must fight me first!"

"No, Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm just passing by. I didn't come here specifically to fight that arrogant, conceited, ridiculous and stupid Qin Xingyuan."

With a piece of green grass in his mouth, Shang Shishen said with a half-smile, "I don't want to fight with Fellow Daoist Xu. I just want to chat with him and get to know him. Compared to someone like Qin Xingyuan, I really prefer to make friends with Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Yuanqing frowned. It seemed like this person was belittling Qin Xingyuan in some way or another?

But the other party didn't want to fight, and Xu Yuanqing couldn't force him. His high fighting spirit could only gradually fade away.

Of course, he knew in his heart that there were many people here watching the excitement, and there was no shortage of disciples from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect.

To their faces, he said Qin Xingyuan was arrogant, conceited, ridiculous and stupid...

Not to mention that it is not advisable to speak ill of someone in front of him, and no matter what kind of person Qin Xingyuan is, how can the disciples of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect be happy when they hear such words?

Moreover, Xu Yuanqing really felt that this was inappropriate. After all, this was right on the doorstep of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. To say this about the sect's disciples...

It is inevitable that there is suspicion of deliberate provocation and ridicule.

"Friend Shang Dao!"

Shen Haoqiong suddenly appeared on the fighting stage. Looking at Shang Shishen, who was holding a piece of green grass in his mouth, he reminded him in a negotiating tone, "I admit that although Senior Brother Qin is a bit arrogant and conceited, this is after all our sect's territory. I hope that Fellow Daoist Shang can be a little more careful with his words."

"Qin Xingyuan dares to do and say what he wants. Ha, is he afraid of what others say about him? If you don't want to be criticized, then don't do it or say it. First of all, you must be upright!"

Shang Shishen mocked with disdain, "It's truly unfortunate that you have such an arrogant and conceited senior brother who is a laughing stock in the outside world."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the disciples of Yin Yang Five Elements Sect, but many people present changed their expressions and were in disbelief.

"Friend Shang, I've said too much."

Xu Yuanqing's expression changed slightly as he reminded him, "Although Fellow Daoist Qin speaks with great pride, it's not surprising that such a powerful genius, without proper training and instruction, is a bit arrogant and conceited."
