Chapter 134 Far Beyond Expectations

The woman who led the Yuqing lineage actually glanced at a young man, looking him over several times, which surprised many people, who couldn’t help but look in the same direction.

“His name seems to be Qin Ming, and he’s from Crimson Cloud City,” someone whispered.

Many people said that they were familiar with the major cities in the world, and Chixia City was certainly not a famous city. It seemed to be relatively remote. Qin Ming smiled and nodded. Regardless of whether the other party would respond, he was satisfied with his courtesy.

The woman was radiant; her smile was dazzling, and she nodded in greeting. Those around her were astonished and whispered among themselves.

Are these two old acquaintances, or is it that the young man from the small town is so extraordinary that he has already attracted the attention of the leading woman of the Yuqing lineage?

Her name is Lu Yuzhi. She is an extraordinary person who defeated many masters two years ago. Her strength is terrifying, but the impact of her defeat was minimized.

“Is this senior sister very famous?”

“Yes, a stunningly beautiful female extraordinary person. It is said that someone injured her friend and provoked her, and then she challenged her way through, severely injuring many seed-level masters from the Outer Realms and the Secret Sect.”

Only a few people at the scene knew about it, because the Lu family, a powerful clan with thousands of years of history, deliberately concealed her achievements, not wanting Lu Yuzhi to attract too much attention.

Qin Ming was quite surprised to see her here. He wasn’t particularly familiar with Lu Yuzhi; they had only met a few times. He had heard that she possessed “divine wisdom” and assumed she would join the esoteric sect, but he hadn’t expected her to become a disciple of the Yuqing lineage. However, Qin Ming quickly understood.

Qingtian, Liuyu, Yuqing, and others each possess the legendary Heavenly Light Force, making them among the few lineages on the path of rebirth that are feared by the secluded lands and esoteric sects.

Although these disciples of the ancestral temple will eventually face the challenges of slow cultivation and a bleak later stage, requiring them to endure the test of time…

The question is difficult, but it’s really impressive in the beginning.

Qin Ming guessed that Lu Yuzhi wanted to use the Jade Purity Force as her means of protection, and at the same time she was also walking the path to godhood in esoteric Buddhism.

With her profound wisdom, joining those esoteric sects wouldn’t be difficult for her. The Yuqing lineage is extremely selective in choosing disciples; without extraordinary talent, it’s hard to obtain a true inheritance. Since she possesses the qualifications, she naturally doesn’t want to miss out.

Lu Yuzhi walked towards Cao Wuji. She was dressed in fine clothes, her eyebrows were naturally beautiful, and she had a gentle smile on her face. She exuded confidence and charm, and her demeanor was exceptionally outstanding.

Cao Wuji had previously been surrounded by onlookers, the absolute center of attention, but now, upon seeing this radiant woman, he immediately stepped forward to greet her, displaying humility and modesty.

“Because he knows who the other party is, and his own identity as an extraordinary person is no longer out of line, does he want to join the Yuqing lineage?” Lu Yuzhi said with a smile.

She comes from a family with a long history, is a disciple of Yuqing, and is also practicing esoteric Buddhism. Although her smile is gentle, she has a considerable aura.

At this moment, Cao Wuji has no advantage over her in any aspect, so he immediately called her “Senior Sister” and expressed his willingness to join Yuqing.

He was a decisive person and agreed without any hesitation.

The people from Chunyang Camp, Wenxin Academy, and Wuxing Palace around them couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to take this extraordinary person away, but could they compete with the Yuqing lineage?

And these men were no match for that woman; if they all attacked together, they would probably be crushed.

After a brief silence, many people went over to congratulate Cao Wuji. Lu Yuzhi’s expression softened as she informed him, “I must first explain that after you go to Yuqing, you will still need to pass some tests.”

Cao Wuji nodded in understanding. How could learning the legendary Great Light Force be so easy? Even extraordinary people would have to be scrutinized!

The atmosphere in the bamboo grove became lively.

Many people gathered around the two extraordinary individuals. Some congratulated Cao Wuji, while others hoped to join the Yuqing lineage and wanted to know the qualifications for selection.

Cao Wuji was very handsome and quite talkative, which made the several young people from the Yuqing lineage who were present quite fond of him. Lu

Yu Zhi was beautiful and charming. She smiled and nodded, having a good impression of him.

Some people around were deep in thought. It was extremely rare for the Yuqing lineage to actively descend the mountain to recruit disciples. A few realized that the Great Opening Era might truly be not far off; even an ancient lineage like Yuqing was beginning to expand, actively recruiting top disciples.

Lu Yuzhi walked towards Qin Ming, which immediately attracted people’s attention again.

“It’s a surprise, I didn’t expect to see you here.” A spring breeze ruffled Lu Yuzhi’s clothes.

She was tall and slender, with her hair slightly tossed up, radiant and dazzling. She was not only a noble lady from a prominent family, but also a disciple of the Jade Purity Sect, and she was cultivating both paths simultaneously. She was even more radiant and dazzling than before.

“Miss Lu, it’s been a long time. You’re even more beautiful than before,” Qin Ming said.

The purple bamboo sways gently in the wind, its surface shimmering with a faint jade-like light; the scenery here is truly exquisite.

Lu Yuzhi, her eyebrows like distant mountains, asked with a smile, “You’ve come here to join a certain sect?”

Qin Ming nodded and said, “Yes, I’m currently working hard for my future, and I came all the way from this remote place to Jinrui City.” Lu Yuzheng said, “If you want to join the Yuqing lineage, you need to undergo various assessments. Do you want to sign up?”

Qin Ming was very interested in the Yuqing lineage and asked, “What conditions are required to join, and how long does it take to learn the legendary Yuqing Force?”

Lu Yuzhi smiled and said, “Yuqing’s assessment is very strict. The first step is to become a disciple in name only, which requires a certain level of comprehension.”

She chatted briefly with Qin Ming, informing him of some details, before heading towards her fellow disciples.

“Brother, do you know Miss Lu?” Someone approached. He had previously tried to develop Qin Ming’s connections, but lost interest immediately upon learning that Qin Ming came from a remote area. Now he was back.

“Senior brother, are you and Miss Lu very familiar?” The girl in purple also appeared, greeting him with a smile.

Qin Ming was surrounded, but he was very direct and told them that he had only met Lu Yuzhi a few times, and even if he wanted to join the Yuqing lineage, he would have to start from the assessment of a nominal disciple.

A quarter of an hour later, the people around him dispersed, confirming that he really did come from the remote city of Chixia and was not very familiar with Lu Yuzhi, a core disciple of Yuqing.

After a brief exchange with some geniuses from major cities, Lu Yuzhi said, “How about this, anyone who wants to apply for Yuqing can come and take the test on-site.”

She took out a scroll of scripture paper and distributed it, saying, “It records a kind of Heavenly Light Force, which was created on the spot by our elders. Whoever can comprehend it and unleash four-colored light will pass the test.” Qin Ming also took a scroll of scripture paper. Since it was the Heavenly Light Force, he naturally wanted to see it for himself.

It didn’t take long for him to master it, and he felt that there was more energy flowing than just the four colors of the sky intertwining.

Sure enough, an even more dazzling rainbow appeared in his palm. The eyes of those around him immediately changed. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that he had already reached eight colors, and he was still trying to create a surging mist of light!

“Xiao Qin, we should go.” Meng Xinghai appeared in the distance and called to Qin Ming to leave.

“Okay!” Qin Ming nodded, the light in his palm went out, and he strode away.

Exclamations of surprise echoed through the purple bamboo forest. “I passed! I’ve mastered four colors!” A few others then achieved five colors, causing quite a stir.

People turned their attention to Cao Wuji and discovered that he had actually mastered seven kinds of light, which immediately caused a sensation.

A rainbow seemed to flow through his palm, a sacred and peaceful mist rising from it, the dazzling glow exceptionally eye-catching. “This is outrageous! Completed beyond expectations!”

“Is this the extraordinary person? The gap between us and him is so vast!” For a moment, exclamations of amazement filled the bamboo forest.

Many people can only lament that people can’t be compared; this obvious gap in talent is truly insurmountable, the difference is just too great.

Cao Wuji remained calm. What was this all about?

However, after thinking about it, he found this analytical process quite interesting.

“This has nothing to do with the physical attributes of an extraordinary person; this test only assesses comprehension. In fact, it can unleash an additional color.” Lu Yuzhi said with a smile, and eight colors appeared in her jade-white palm, like a miniature celestial river flowing, extremely dazzling.

Cao Wuji was deeply surprised; how could he have produced an additional color? Lu Yuzheng was actually quite satisfied with him, and smiled reassuringly, “It’s already remarkable that you’ve been able to evolve seven colors at this stage. The eighth color requires a unique understanding of fusing with celestial light, and you haven’t learned that much yet.”

“I just saw someone who also seemed to be emitting eight kinds of light.” Someone whispered. “What are you talking about?” someone nearby questioned. Everyone else in the area looked over as well. “What’s wrong?” Lu Yuzhi asked.

The girl in purple was a little nervous, but she still said frankly, “I just saw someone emit eight kinds of light!” “Impossible!”

How could our understanding of Guan Guang possibly reach that level at this stage?

“Who is he? Where is he?” No one believed him. Cao Wuji raised an eyebrow and looked this way.

A young man from the giant city, Guan Cai, spoke up: “I think I saw it too. Eight colors of light appeared in his palm. That’s Qin Ming from that remote place. He was called away.”

Immediately, there was an uproar. Someone had actually surpassed the extraordinary Cao Wuji. Putting aside their innate talent, was their comprehension really that amazing?

Cao Wuji was surprised; were there people of the same age who could do better than him?

“This has nothing to do with the innate qualities of an extraordinary person.” Someone tried to comfort him and flatter him, but it turned out that they had hit a brick wall.

Cao Wuji remained expressionless, but his heart was churning with emotion. In terms of comprehension, there was someone even more capable than him!

Lu Yuzhi also looked surprised, staring at the direction where the figure disappeared outside the bamboo forest. Did he really have such enlightenment? It far exceeded her expectations.

The next day, Cui He received some news and couldn’t help but frown. “He went to Jinrui City and met with people from the Yuqing and Chunyang lineages? Is he preparing to join the ancestral court of a major sect!”

It seems so. Oh, and there was a little incident too; his comprehension is quite astonishing.

That same day, Cui He received another report that Qin Ming was very interested in the Six Imperial Forces and seemed to want to join that lineage! (Cui Shuning)

Upon learning this, his face darkened, and he said, “He is an extraordinary person with such remarkable comprehension. Isn’t he trying to squeeze out the core disciple spot for Chongxuan? He is hostile!” The most crucial thing is that with the guidance of acquaintances, Qin Ming has already won nineteen consecutive matches. He only needs one more match to directly enter the Six Realms and undergo the assessment arranged by the elders. If he passes, he will become a core disciple!

Suddenly, Cui He and Cui Shuning felt like the sky had fallen. Had they been outmaneuvered? There was such a rule that allowed them to go directly into the Six Imperial Mountain Gate to see the elders.

“Stop him immediately! We can’t let him win the twentieth match!” Where is the young powerhouse we found earlier? Make him leave the stage!

“He’s someone important; it’s not easy to get him to step in!” Yi Xinghai said leisurely, declining the challenge offered by others, and began to take…

He said there was only one more game left, so he wasn’t in a hurry to watch it.

In the past two days, Lu Yuzhi has noticed that some acquaintances have been asking her about Qin Ming’s comprehension, and they are all old friends from prominent families.

“Hey, you didn’t know? The person the Cui family gave up on has great potential and is poised to rise to prominence.”

“I heard there’s going to be a really exciting fight soon. Want to go watch it? Hmm, that’s right. A mysterious young powerhouse is going to stop Qin Ming.”

Four days later, everything was settled, all parties involved had agreed, and a showdown that had not been heavily publicized but had attracted considerable interest was arranged.

Meng Xinghai was very satisfied. Although he had known for a long time that he probably wouldn’t get the “Scripture of Living to the End,” he had still managed to negotiate down to a fragment.

Adding the “Yi Mu Jing” is enough.

This time, the prizes included not only the “Yi Mu Jing” (Book of Wood), but also six pages of the “Zhu Shi Jing” (Book of Worldly Preservation), far exceeding expectations!

Cui He was in a terrible mood. He later realized that he had been led by the nose by Meng Xinghai and was completely following the other party’s rhythm.

Cui Shuning was also unhappy because she already knew that a small number of acquaintances, all from aristocratic families, would come to watch the competition, which she wanted to keep low-key.

Although these things won’t be reported, the appearance of these familiar faces still made her feel very embarrassed. Were they here to watch the show?

Her face was cold and infuriating. What was most hateful was that Meng Xinghai and certain members of the Li family were protecting Qin Ming, and even now, Fifth Master Huo was still “drinking” with Li Qingyun—how many days had passed?! Two days later, some acquaintances appeared in Chixia City. The arrival of someone from the Li family immediately enraged Cui He and Cui Shuning.

The Wang family’s expressionless appearance left them somewhat helpless.

“What are you doing here, you little brat?” Cui He finally caught someone he could teach a lesson and slapped him across the face.

Zheng Maoze felt a bit resentful and really wanted to retaliate… He hesitated, but he couldn’t win. He had only come to watch the fight after hearing the news, so why was he suddenly slapped?

“And you lot, a bunch of greenhorns, what are you doing here instead of doing your jobs?!” Cui He was furious. *Slap slap*

The group of teenagers were furious!

“Lu Yuzhi is here too, why don’t you dare to move?” someone protested.

In the dead of night, outside Crimson Cloud City, a thick fog shrouded everything, the world as if drenched in ink, pitch black, obscuring all visibility. Qin Ming stood silently, and from the dense night fog opposite him, a young man slowly approached!
