Chapter 928: Before the Competition (1)

In the Lanling Valley, although no one could tell that he had cultivation, no one called him trash either.

On the contrary, he had gained the respect of many disciples.

Because he was an alchemist and a knowledgeable scholar in Lanling Valley.

Although the cultivation of an alchemist wasn’t high, it was because he didn’t have a cultivation problem. However, he knew countless things. No matter what cultivation level a disciple came to ask for advice on cultivation, he would be able to tell the disciple from the side and let the disciple answer the question.

“Senior Brother Li, you really know a lot.”

“Why can’t I find the reason why I can’t cultivate?”

“By the way, how do you know so much?”

On the lawn below the pavilion, Li Lingtian sat cross-legged like an old monk meditating.

He was surrounded by a few Martial Spirit Realm disciples, and Lan Xiaoman was there as well.

Lan Xiaoman asked Li Lingtian curiously after her Senior Brothers had settled their cultivation problems.

At the same time, the other disciples were equally curious. However, they did not dare to ask Li Lingtian about it. It was not good to inquire about other people’s information and secrets. They were also worried that it would upset Li Lingtian. After all, it was embarrassing to not be able to cultivate in the Divine Martial Continent.

“I used to be a disciple of an influential family. I was born unable to cultivate my dantian.”

” I’ve fallen in love with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I like some strange things, so I read ancient books in the library every day. Although I can’t cultivate, I know a lot. ”

“It’s not a bad thing that I can’t cultivate. Look, I’m alive and well now. No one is bullying me.”

” Sigh, it’s just that after that great power was destroyed, I was also injured. Then, I came to Lanling Valley. ”

Li Lingtian closed his eyes to meditate as he spoke calmly. His expression did not change.

It was as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter, and there was not the slightest hint of lying.

“I see.”

“I heard from my father that everyone has their own talent.”

“Although Senior Brother Li can’t cultivate, he’s knowledgeable and talented. He also knows how to refine pills. This is also Senior Brother Li’s talent. Moreover, this talent is even more popular than cultivators.”

Lan Xiaoman revealed an ” I see, ” expression, but she was extremely happy.

He had spent quite a bit of time with Li Lingtian recently. Although this senior brother was a little reticent, he was a good senior brother.

He was like a master who stood aloof from worldly affairs. In Lan Xiaoman’s heart, she always had a feeling that this Senior Brother Li in front of her was definitely not simple.

However, he couldn’t tell what was so special about him. A girl’s sixth sense was the most wonderful. This Senior Brother Li couldn’t cultivate, but he gave him the feeling that he was a peerless expert.

” Senior Brother Li, thank you for your guidance. We’ll go back and cultivate first. The first day of next month will be the Grand Tournament of the younger generation of the seven major forces. I hope our Lanling Valley can achieve good results. ”

Lan Xiaoman kept asking questions until the sun set.

Li Lingtian answered every question without any change in his expression.

Looking at the sky, a few Warrior Spirit disciples bid Li Lingtian farewell before leaving him in a hurry.

“A competition?”

Li Lingtian uttered these two words calmly before he opened his eyes and looked at Lan Xiaoman.

“Senior Brother Li is also interested in the competition.”

When Lan Xiaoman saw Li Lingtian open his eyes, she thought that he was interested in the competition. However, she found it funny when she recalled that Li Lingtian did not have any cultivation.

Now, she was not afraid to say that Li Lingtian did not cultivate because he did not care at all.

“Interested?”

“They’ve all gone to cultivate, but you’re still not going to cultivate. Aren’t you worried about losing face?”

Li Lingtian was stunned for a moment before he glared at Lan Xiaoman.

He was interested in a competition? What kind of competition would use him? Even a Martial God could be killed with a single palm strike. There was no need for a competition.

“Oh.”

“I thought Senior Brother Li was interested in the competition. That’s true. Senior Brother Li doesn’t even have a cultivation base. How can he compete?”

” It’s a pity that I’m already a Martial King now. I’ve only just reached Rank 1 Martial King. My opponents must be at the Martial King Realm. I can’t compete with Martial Spirit Realm warriors anymore. ”

” Otherwise, a Tier Nine Warrior Spirit like me would definitely be able to get a ranking. Once I become a Martial King, I’ll lose my advantage. No matter how much I cultivate, I’ll never be able to compete with those Tier Eight or Nine Martial Kings. ”

Lan Xiaoman’s words almost made Li Lingtian go berserk.

However, he was the true monster among the monsters. Lan Xiaoman was just a little monster in front of him.

He could accept what she said. If the others heard Lan Xiaoman’s words, they would be furious.

He had reached the Martial King Realm at the age of 16, but it was a pity that his cultivation was not enough to compete with the Martial Spirit Realm.

” Cultivate well. I remember seeing a set of sword techniques that are not bad. As long as you cultivate it well, its power will be incomparably powerful. ”

“Go back and cultivate first. After I find that sword scripture, I’ll let you cultivate it.”

Li Lingtian glanced at Lan Xiaoman before he spoke indifferently.

He sounded like he was sending the guest off but Lan Xiaoman completely ignored him. She was already used to Li Lingtian’s words and had no intention of leaving immediately.

” Really? Senior Brother, don’t lie to me. ”

” A Rank One Martial King can’t compete with a Rank Nine Martial King no matter how powerful his sword technique is. ”

Lan Xiaoman was instantly happy, but she soon found it hard to believe.

No matter how powerful the sword technique was, it was impossible for it to be a match for a Rank Nine Martial King.

“Let’s go back.”

Li Lingtian’s face turned stern as he spoke to Lan Xiaoman.

“Hmph, so be it. Senior Brother Li must be lying to me.”

Seeing that Li Lingtian had no intention of speaking, Lan Xiaoman left unwillingly. She pouted and mumbled as she left.

It was the same every time. It was always Li Lingtian who forced Lan Xiaoman to leave in the end.

This situation had happened countless times.

As he watched Lan Xiaoman leave, Li Lingtian’s face revealed a look of reminiscence.

More than ten years ago, he was still a warrior, but he rose up in power. In the end, he shone during the Sky Cloud Sect competition.

Now that he saw the disciples of the Lanling Valley competing with others, he thought of his past.

The events of the past seemed to have happened yesterday, and they were still fresh in his memory.

However, memories were just memories. After pondering for a while, he returned to the pavilion and sat cross-legged to cultivate the Art of Longevity and comprehend the refining method of the Longevity Pill.

His entire person was calm and had a trace of an aloof temperament.

Time passed day by day as Li Lingtian cultivated in the depths of the Lanling Valley.

Although the aura in his body had not been resolved, cultivating the Art of Longevity every day had stabilized it a lot. At least, it was temporarily under his control.

“Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Li.”

” Hurry up and come out. The seven major powers are having a competition today. If you don’t come out now, you’ll miss the good show. ”

A familiar voice interrupted Li Lingtian’s cultivation.

He opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

“The competition today?”

“You guys go by yourselves. I don’t want to go. I still have to comprehend the pill formula and strive to improve my pill technique so that I can refine the best pill.”

Li Lingtian appeared nonchalant and completely ignored the competition.

He only needed to slowly cultivate the Art of Longevity. After he refined the Longevity Pill, he would use the Longevity Pill and the Art of Longevity to condition his body and resolve the aura. Then, he would leave this place.

“That won’t do.”

“This time, I’ve told my father that our disciples from the Lanling Valley will be competing with the other six forces. We have to bring you along to watch.”

“I don’t want you to compete, what are you afraid of?”

Lan Xiaoman came to Li Lingtian’s side. Seeing that Li Lingtian was not going, she immediately refused to let him go.

She pulled Li Lingtian along and was about to leave, but Li Lingtian did not budge an inch.

“Even if you want to compete, you have to tell me.”

“I’m not interested in these competitions. There’s nothing to see.”

Li Lingtian looked at Lan Xiaoman’s expression and immediately thought of someone.

She was Shangguan Linger, the junior sister she met in Sky Cloud Sect.

Although their cultivation was very low at that time, they were very happy. It was just that they all scattered later on.

Thinking of Shangguan Linger, he felt a little amused. He also softened his tone towards Lan Xiaoman.

” Actually, in Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range, there are more than a hundred factions, big and small. ”

” The seven great factions we’re talking about are the branches of the Maple Wood Sect. There will be competitions every year. The more powerful the disciples are, the more promising they will be and the more resources they will receive. ”

” Although the seven major powers are all part of the Maple Wood Sect, they are all competing with each other. Moreover, the competition between them has never stopped. ”

” Moreover, the factions in the Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range are complicated and there are always fights. Regardless of which sect it is, there will always be competitions. In a world where the strong are respected, only strength can speak. ”

“This time, the competition between the seven major powers of the Maple Wood Sect will be held at the Maple Wood Sect’s outer square.”

Lan Xiaoman quickly told him about the Seven Super Forces when she found Li Lingtian’s words reasonable.

With that said, she dragged Li Lingtian out of the room, worried that she would miss the competition.

“It’s done.”

“Don’t hold it anymore. This is unbecoming.”

Li Lingtian felt awkward when he saw Lan Xiaoman dragging him along. He quickly asked Lan Xiaoman to let go.

Lan Xiaoman felt awkward when she heard Li Lingtian’s words. Her little face flushed red. She had been behaving like this with Li Lingtian all this while, treating him like an older brother. She did not expect to feel awkward now.

Li Lingtian felt regretful when he saw Lan Xiaoman’s reaction. The two of them did not say a word as they headed outside.

Soon, they arrived outside Lanling Valley. Lan Xiao and the others were already waiting for them.

“Valley Master.”

Li Lingtian stepped forward and called out to her calmly. After that, he stood aside.

The other disciples were no longer surprised by Li Lingtian’s reaction.

This was because Li Lingtian had always been a man of few words and treated everyone the same way. Furthermore, Li Lingtian was knowledgeable and knew alchemy. Although he was not respected, no one dared to offend him.
