I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! Book 4: Chapter 20: Maxed Out

Book 4: Chapter 20: Maxed Out

Spending a few minutes, Bai Qiuran briefly explained to Tang Ruowei and Zuo Yanfei and then asked:
“So, did you bring surveying and mapping tools?”
“Of course, I always carry it.”
Tang Ruowei replied.
“Good. You take a rest first, and then I will take you to the cave.”
Bai Qiuran touched her head.
“After entering, I’ll stop the monster, you and Miss Li will be responsible for recording the formation.”
Tang Ruowei nodded, and walked aside with Zuo Yanfei, preparing to adjust her breath to restore her True Qi. Bai Qiuran also stepped aside and began to teach Lin Fan how to practice the Sharp Golden Sword.
At this time, Tang Ruowei suddenly heard Li Jinyao next to her calling her in a very small voice:
“Ruowei, Ruowei, come here.”
She looked at Li Jinyao and found that the genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect winked at her.
Tang Ruowei stood up and walked aside with her, while Zuo Yanfei glanced at her strangely, but did not stop.
After all, Bai Qiuran was here, even if Li Jinyao belonged to the Demon Sect, she would not dare to do anything to his precious apprentice under his eyes.
Following Li Jinyao to a corner deep in the cave, Tang Ruowei saw her stop, so she asked:
“Sister Li, what are you asking me to do?”
Li Jinyao took a sneaky look over there. You Meiqiao seemed to be sorting her storage bag, with her back facing them and did not look over, so Li Jinyao asked:
“Ruowei, I want to tell you a piece of big news. Do you know Sect Master Su Xiangxue of the Kamasutra Sect? She turned out to be a virgin!”
“So what?”
Tang Ruowei blinked.
“I already know this.”
“What? You know?”
Li Jinyao grabbed her shoulders and said shakingly:
“Then Sect Master Su Xiangxue is interesting to your master, can you see it too?”
“Except for my dense master, everyone can tell it.”
Tang Ruowei rolled her eyes.
“Then do you have any opinion?”
Li Jinyao asked with disappointment.
“Why should I have an opinion…”
Tang Ruowei thought for a while and said:
“Oh, should I congratulate Master for finally getting a girlfriend?”
“I’m not talking about this, Ruo Wei, don’t you have any feelings for Sword Patriarch?”
Li Jinyao raised her eyebrows and said:
“When I expressed my affection for Sword Patriarch before, didn’t you also feel a little unhappy?”
Tang Ruowei stunned for a moment, and then denied:
“I do not have it.”
Li Jinyao looked at her up and down.
“Then have you ever thought about finding a partner?”
Tang Ruowei glanced down at her chest, then shook her head.
“How can I find one when my exercise has not successful?”
“I’m impressed.”
Li Jinyao was angry and laughed:
“You and Sword Patriarch are almost forged by the same mold… you two deserve to be master and apprentice.”
She finally realized that Tang Ruowei did have a good impression of her master, but because of her physical defects, she had a sense of inferiority. It was the same as Bai Qiuran’s feeling that his cultivation level was low.
“So why does Sister Li have a good impression of my master?”
Tang Ruowei glanced at Bai Qiuran, then asked:
“There is nothing about him that is likable…”
“Well, he’s rich, handsome, strong, and talented. Except for his habit of rubbing salt on others’ wounds and his age, he has no shortcomings. And I don’t care about these two. I have a good temper and we are both cultivators so the age gap won’t matter.”
Li Jinyao replied without hesitation, thinking about it a lot.
“More importantly, senior has always cared about the world peace in his heart, and he is also very good to the people around him. These are all bonus points for choosing a husband. A man without no merit can’t attract a woman like Sect Master Su… Am I right, Ruowei?”
Tang Ruowei thought about it carefully and found that what Li Jinyao said seemed to make sense.
“Sister Ruowei…”
At this time, Li Jinyao took her palm again.
“Are we friends?”
Tang Ruowei hesitated:
“Yes.”
“Well.”
Li Jinyao took Tang Ruowei’s hand and said seriously:
“Help me conquer your master!”
“What?”
Tang Ruowei squinted her eyes with a dazed expression.
“Help me conquer your dense master.”
Li Jinyao raised Tang Ruowei’s hands and said seriously:
“In exchange, I will also become your ally. If one day in the future you realized your true feeling, I will help you in turn!”
After a while, the two walked out of the cave and came in front of everyone.
“Oh, I’m wondering where did you go.”
Bai Qiuran looked at the two girls and said:
“Are you all rested well?”
“Yes, we are.”
Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei both nodded and replied.
“Then let’s go.”
Bai Qiuran led the team to go out first and did not notice the eye contact between Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei. Only You Meiqiao on the side noticed this, and then touched her white chin thoughtfully.

Boom! Boom!
There was a series of explosions outside the hall, and the vibration caused the dust accumulated in the hall for countless years to fall down and hit the black-robed man, but he didn’t notice it.
He was lying on the throne in the temple, staring at the sky blankly. His eyes, which were bright before, had now become lifeless. With his skinny appearance, he looked like he was really dead.
The explosion soon subsided. He heard footsteps coming to the front of the hall, and then someone shook their storage bags at the door, and the high-grade spirit stones made a clear sound when they collided.
The 187th pass…
The black-robed man remained silent, numbly counting the people outside the temple in his heart.
Originally, these high-grade spirit stones were consumables prepared by the true owner of the Wise Immortal Mansion to help cultivators restore the energy and physical strength during the trial.
But since the guy Bai Qiuran put in a storage bag at the entrance of his hall more than a month ago, these spirit stones have become mere drops and trophies.
Over the past month, Bai Qiuran has gone back and forth in the [five clinging-aggregates] trial a total of 187 times, and he brought more people here.
In the beginning, it was just a female cultivator, and then gradually became a few, then more than a dozen, and in the end, almost all the disciples who participated in the exploratory operation united here.
More and more people took trial at the same time, and even the space and transmission mechanism of the mansion slowly became overload, thus the frequency of the refresh the trial has to be extended to complete the buffer of energy operation. It’s like the number of players became overwhelming, the server had no choice but to restart.
Some of his former subordinates and companions, hiding here with only their souls, also used the means of possessing to snatch the bodies of several of them, and mixed in the team, but they were all caught by that white-haired weird guy and were killed.
Originally, the number of Land Immortals was not large even in their time. In order to avoid the crisis, these Land Immortals sealed their souls in the resident soul crystals they refined, which was the kind of black prism that Bai Qiuran found. Only a handful of Land Immortals like him, whose soul was strong enough, could stay awake, waiting for opportunities, and then used the soul crystal to liberate the remaining Land Immortals.
The few that Bai Qiuran killed were the only Land Immortals left in this cave that could possess others on their own. Now, leaving aside the skull, he was left alone.
And he could only stay in this room to survive, lest his soul would dissipate on its own one day like a candle’s fire in the wind.
But this time, the situation seemed to be slightly different.
Just as the black-robed man was in a daze, someone suddenly opened the door of the hall and walked in unexpectedly.
