Bonus Chapter for Reader [Giant Spirit Ape of Baiheliang]
After chatting with Ye Qingyun for a few more minutes, Jiang Ping left the Quiet room and went to a restaurant.
Upon seeing Jiang Ping in the private room, Lin Zhizhen immediately stood up, her face showing apology.
If Li Wanjuan hadn't revealed the information, Jiang Pingping wouldn't have encountered the True Disciple's obstruction.
Fortunately, this person was strong enough, and thankfully, the one who was eliminated was not a top-ranked True Disciple.
Otherwise, if she were truly blocked from entering the Qingling Sect, she would definitely bear some responsibility.
Jiang Ping noticed her guilt, waved his hand, and smiled:
"It's alright, it's all in the past. If Pei Kong hadn't rushed to jump out, I wouldn't have known I was on the Wendaomeng's blacklist."
Even if he hadn't encountered Pei Kong during this elder selection, he would probably have had to use every trick in the book, and his reputation would have spread sooner or later. It was only a matter of time before Li Buyu and his disciples found out about his background.
He didn't want to pursue the matter with either Lin Zhizhen or Li Wanjuan. Since the Heavenly Maiden was so generous, he couldn't bypass Zhong Shenxiu and directly take drastic measures against Old Li.
"I have 1,000 contribution points here..."
Lin Zhizhen felt there was a reason for her actions and took out her Identity Token, but Jiang Ping refused.
"Let's leave this topic at that. If you'd like to have a drink with Jiang again in the future, I'll still be waiting."
Jiang Ping smiled.
Although Lin Zhizhen was a bit of a blabbermouth, it allowed him to learn about Li Buyu's movements in advance, which enabled him to quickly relocate his relatives.
Okay.
Lin Zhizhen sighed.
This highly skilled junior still respected her, but she also knew that in the future, he would definitely not tell her anything in detail.
The relationship hasn't changed, but I can't be completely open with anyone anymore.
"Let's not talk about that, let's drink. I've already obtained the Qingling Body Scripture, so the pressure is on Brother Ji."
Ye Qingyun was already seated, enjoying his meat in high spirits, and after taking a sip of wine, he glanced at Ji Wushuang.
"The pressure is indeed quite high; Wushuang lost a match today."
Lin Zhizhen raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
Jiang Ping was curious, so he went to complete the Entry Level procedures and learn about the resources. He was not very clear about Ji Wushuang's results today.
"He lost to Zhou Taohong."
Ye Qingyun spoke.
Zhou Taohong won her first battle with great difficulty, which led everyone to believe that she was seriously injured and might not pass the selection.
When they encountered Ji Wushuang, everyone realized that the Red-skirted Woman was feigning weakness and was actually unharmed, catching Ji Wushuang off guard.
That woman is indeed quite strong.
Ji Wushuang spoke calmly.
Although he Yin and Yang Mastery and had developed three transformations, Zhou Taohong's Sword Art was by no means weak, her power of Order was more profound, and she also mastered the Void Order. His defeat was not unjust.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Lin Zhizhen continued.
Now that Jiang Pingping has become an elder, taking one spot, only two remain.
Ji Wushuang lost a match, and only a perfect record would give her a chance to make it into the top three. A single misstep could mean total defeat.
"This is a difficult situation. The man and woman from the Qingling Palace, both at the Perfected Form and Spirit, are not to be underestimated."
Ye Qingyun spoke slowly.
The Perfected Form and Spirit is a terrifying realm. Pei Kong had already demonstrated the power of this level before. His recovery ability was monstrous, and his physical body was so terrifying that even the Reincarnation Saber could hardly injure him.
Although the two inner disciples' physical bodies were not as strong as Pei Kong's, they were not much weaker. Even Jiang Pingping, who did not use the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws, would have to fight them hard.
"If they have strong recovery abilities, then beat them until they are exhausted and unable to recover."
Ji Wushuang remained confident in herself.
"Brother Ji, please be careful. You might not be able to win."
Ye Qingyun said in a deep voice.
As far as he knew, the inner sect woman cultivated the Azure Qingdi Art, the Supreme Inheritances of the Azure Qingling Palace, which focused on recovery and life, and even possessed the power of time, making it extraordinary.
Such masters are least afraid of protracted battles and attrition warfare; without absolute superiority, it is difficult to achieve victory.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushuang fell silent.
"We'll only know who wins and who loses after the game."
Jiang Ping spoke up, saying, "Such experts do indeed have strong recovery abilities, but there are still weaknesses to be found."
"What flaw?" The three looked over.
"If you beat her a few more times, she'll get scared."
The three people. "..."
Ji Wushuang remained silent. If he truly possessed such Great Being, there would be no need for further thought.
But right now, let alone him, even Zhou Taohong absolutely couldn't do it.
Not everyone has mastered the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws.
They looked at each other in silence, and the four of them soon dispersed.
However, before leaving, Lin Zhizhen said:
"If all else fails, you can ask the Heavenly Maiden for the <Human Emperor Scripture>."
Ji Wushuang remained silent.
He had just overheard Jiang Pingping worrying about the resources needed to practice the <Human Emperor Scripture>. If he couldn't be selected as Guest Elder, it would be even more difficult for him to practice this scripture.
There are always more solutions than problems; there's always a way forward.
Before we knew it, the next day had arrived.
Three majestic Sword Fighting Platform rose above Qingdi City, and the selection of elders continued.
Jiang Ping didn't rush to Nine Clouds City; instead, he became a proper spectator.
"Jiang Pingping!"
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Jiang Ping's appearance in the audience caused quite a stir.
Many Dao Seed rushed to offer greetings and flattery.
Of course, there were also those who were oblivious and indifferent:
Why didn't you come to the Changqing Pavilion last night?
Jiang Ping looked completely bewildered, but the other person said:
"I must come to the Changqing Pavilion tonight."
Without giving Jiang Ping a chance to refuse, the other party turned and left.
Bang!
Jiang Ping remained largely unfazed, quickly becoming engrossed in the fierce battle on the Sword Fighting Platform.
Ji Wushuang was confronted by a woman.
This woman is very strong; she is an inner disciple who has reached the Great Perfection stage.
Thump!
Ji Wushuang unleashed her full power, displaying both Star River Diagram and setting up a grand formation. Simultaneously, she stood on a black and white Taiji Diagram, with the Order Light spreading across the sky.
However, he ended up in a tough fight, panting heavily, and even though he could injure his opponent, he couldn't completely defeat him.
Or rather, his damage output couldn't keep up with the opponent's recovery speed.
Ji Wushuang suffered another defeat.
"Brother Ji is most likely to be eliminated."
Jiang Ping felt quite sorry.
This person, with Ultimate Being beauty, possesses extraordinary abilities; in terms of talent and potential, she is far superior to that woman.
He is still young and has only recently reached the Peak. If he can mature further, he will be virtually unrivaled within ten years.
"Is Brother Ji really going to practice the <Human Emperor Scripture>?"
Ye Qingyun raised an eyebrow. He didn't want to see Brother Ji end up like that bastard Old Li, offering toasts to people, especially if she was forced to cross-dress...
Thump!
Suddenly, an elderly man dressed in black and white appeared on the Sword Fighting Platform.
Unlike the somewhat dejected Ji Wushuang, her opponent, the victorious inner sect female disciple, was stunned on the spot, then her face was filled with excitement, her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't hide her excitement as she kowtowed and bowed in worship:
"Disciple Ren Xiaoxiao greets Grandmaster Uncle."
However, the old man ignored her and smiled at Ji Wushuang.
With a whoosh, the two vanished simultaneously, leaving the victor looking utterly bewildered.
"The True Saint has accepted a disciple!!"
Soon, a series of roars cleared up Jiang Ping's doubts.
It turns out that the old man was among the top three in strength within the entire Qingling Palace, known as the "Yin-Yang Venerable"!
"Damn, it turns out that out of the three of us, Brother Ji is the most successful!"
Ye Qingyun's tone was somewhat sour, and her voice was sharp.
Ultimately, before the selection process was over, Jiang Ping, Ye Qingyun, and Lin Zhizhen left Qingdi City ahead of schedule.
"Brother Jiang, I remember someone invited you to the Changqing Pavilion."
Is that so?
Jiang Ping was suspicious, but then said nonchalantly, "Whatever, let's get back to Nine Clouds City first. Time is of the essence; I want to go into seclusion for a period of intense meditation."
