Chapter 76: The Competition Begins
After taking a look at the Heavenly sacred tree, Lou Qianxue sat by the boundary marker. She started to think.
“Training in the Qingyun Mountains has allowed me to achieve perfection in Mountain Splitting Fist. I have also mastered the fourth form, the lightning form, of the Mountain River Sword Technique. However, I have neglected the Divine Refinement Scroll which could cultivate my mental state. Why don’t I practice it tonight!”
Lou Qianxue unrolled the Divine Refinement Scroll and began practicing.
However...
As soon as Lou Qianxue shut her eyes to train, she opened then back with a look of shock.
“Huh? My mental state... I was at the first level of the Divine Refinement Scroll. So how did I suddenly reach the third level?”
Her mental strength had undergone such drastic improvement without her realizing it.
“What’s going on?” Lou Qianxue sank her divine consciousness into the sea of knowledge. She could vaguely see a green beam of light. The sight stunned her.
“Heavenly sacred tree! That’s the green light on that tree! Could it be that the sacred tree was the reason behind the increase in my mental strength?”
The more she thought about it, the more she found it plausible. Dan Taiyuan had once said that the heavenly sacred tree could give birth to anything. It could link the heavens to the earth. Therefore, it ought to have provided her some benefits.
So it was mental strength!
The cultivation of mental strength involved the brain. It was even more difficult than cultivating other physical skills. Yet, the magical tree increased her mental strength by two levels. It was indeed extraordinary.
Lou Qianxue could not sit still.
“After reaching the first level of the Divine Refinement Scroll, I obtained the memories of The Alchemy God from the boundary marker. Now that I’m at level three of the Divine Refinement Scroll, I should be able to... gain some more.”
Lou Qianxue felt a strong passion. She got up and walked toward Mountain River Boundary Marker.
In the entire Mountain River Space, the most precious thing was the Mountain River Boundary Marker that was formed with memory stones. Inside it was the memories of various geniuses from the Lou Family of Mountain River.
When she had obtained the memory of the Alchemy God, Lou Qianxue had already sensed its magic. Naturally, she wanted to obtain some more memories.
Lou Qianxue calmed herself down and respectfully touched the gray Mountain River Boundary Marker. She then shut her eyes and transferred her power into the Mountain River Boundary Marker...
A strong suction suddenly appeared in the Mountain River Boundary Marker, and it greedily absorbed the power in Lou Qianxue’s body.
A pained expression appeared on the pale and beautiful face of Lou Qianxue.
The Mountain River Boundary Marker glowed in a faint white light.
The white flow encapsulated Lou Qianxue. After about 25 minutes, with a loud ‘honk’, she lost consciousness.
The next day arrived.
The prefecture competition of Qingyun City was about to begin at the City Central under the clear skies.
The competition this time was jointly organized by the three big families of Qingyun City: the Mo Family, the Su Family, and the City Lord Mansion. The City Lord was the main representative.
Early in the morning, countless people crowded at the City Central.
The Prefecture Competition was organized in Liuyun Prefecture to select outstanding talents from each city. The family where the best genius emerged from would become the new City Lord Family of that city.
Such a competition took place once every ten years.
Therefore, every big family in every city would give their all to participate in the prefecture competition. They wanted their family members to win the championship title and get the position of the City Lord for the family.
As for reigning City Lord’s family, they would naturally want to maintain their status as the ‘City Lord’s family’.
So, every family would give their all.
Early in the morning, Lou Xiaoxiao came to look for Lou Qianxue. However, she found the room empty. She couldn’t help but softly speak, “This girl must have left early. What a friend! She told me yesterday that she would wait for me, yet she went alone!”
