Chapter 79: Cloud Boat

“Guan Shanqing, I see you got the highest level of spiritual light on the test stone; why bother interacting with such a low-level unaffiliated cultivator?”

After a moment of silence, the young man suddenly interrupted their conversation, “My name is Xu Zhou, and I come from the Lianshan Sect.”

Yi Qianmo frowned. He had no strong feelings about the young man, but hearing this made him feel somewhat unhappy.

However, Xu Zhou did not care about his feelings and just looked at Guan Shanqing with a bright smile, believing that he and Guan Shanqing were on the same path.

As for Yi Qianmo?

He was just a low-ranking unaffiliated cultivator. Even if he became immortal, he would still be the weakest among them. In the future, the gap between them would only grow larger. What right did he have to live with them?

He was very confident that Guan Shanqing could not possibly abandon him for a low-ranking unaffiliated cultivator.

Sure enough, when Guan Shanqing heard his words, he regarded him slightly more favorably and said with a smile, “So, you are a friend from the Lianshan Sect…”

Before he could finish, Xu Zhou jumped in, “Brother Guan, why are you still here? This is not your place!”

“Sorry!”

Guan Shanqing’s face immediately turned cold. “I am also a low-level unaffiliated cultivator. Your Lianshan Sect is very powerful, and I cannot aspire to that, but today Brother Su will not go anywhere!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou’s expression changed drastically, and he angrily said, “You, with the last name Guan, I offered you good advice out of kindness. Don’t be ungrateful!”

“I have made it very clear. I cannot accept your kindness.”

Saying this, Guan Shanqing pulled Yi Qianmo aside and said, “Brother Su, there are two beds here. You choose which one you want first.”

“Hmph!”

Xu Zhou gave them a cold glance. “Such a lack of self-respect. You will suffer for it.”

After saying this, Xu Zhou left the room, but Guan Shanqing did not care about his words and gestured for Yi Qianmo to choose a bed first.

Yi Qianmo did not care about the bed and casually chose one, but he developed a bit of fondness for Guan Shanqing.

In the world of cultivators, it’s a survival of the fittest. There were not many cultivators like Guan Shanqing who, knowing his spirit light was not very good, still interacted with him as an equal.

“I won’t hide it from you, Brother Su. I actually don’t know what is going on myself.”

As soon as he sat down, Guan Shanqing came over.

“What do you mean?” Yi Qianmo asked with confusion.

“It’s about the spiritual power test. I know my own level. Although I am at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, I know I could never measure golden spiritual power!”

Guan Shanqing looked very ashamed.

“Hmm?” Yi Qianmo said with a smile. “Don’t be modest, Brother Guan. The testing stone cannot be faulty.”

“No, it must be the testing stone that is wrong.”

Guan Shanqing nodded confidently and said, “Brother Su had problems during his test too and almost got accused of cheating by the examiner.”

Yi Qianmo was speechless. He did not want to draw attention. This big exam was mainly to bring honor to Su Muyu, but now he was not prepared to reveal himself.

If Guan Shanqing admitted that he could not sense the golden aura, he would be even more certain that it was his leftover spiritual power that gave Guan Shanqing an advantage.

But he did not plan to tell Guan Shanqing this. He patted his shoulder and said, “The stone of testing is rarely faulty. My case was an accident, but yours is real golden aura. Perhaps it relates to the method you practice. It is said that many high-level techniques show their true power only in later stages of cultivation.”

Hearing this, Guan Shanqing stroked his chin and said to himself, “Could it be that my family’s inheritance really has some special qualities? No, such things have never happened in my family, and the head of the family has never mentioned it.”

“Maybe your family head is afraid you might show off. Since you are at Tianyuan Academy now, there is no need to hide. Just show your strongest abilities.”

Yi Qianmo said, “I am the only one in my family with any magical talent, and all the family’s resources have been put into me. If I cannot get into Tianyuan Academy, I won’t be able to face my family again!”

Guan Shanqing nodded. “Thank you, Brother Su, for the advice.”

After that, Guan Shanqing sat on his bed and began to cultivate. Unlike other places, Tianyuan Academy had spiritual Qi.

Although it seemed very weak, Guan Shanqing did not want to waste this opportunity.

Seeing him start to practice, Yi Qianmo also sat on the bed and began to train. His spiritual power had not yet returned to its peak, and this was a good moment to use the spirit Qi to recover.

Xu Zhou didn’t come back until evening. Seeing both of them practicing, he coldly glanced at them and sat on the bed to begin training as well.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door, asking them to gather in the square outside.

The three left the room one after another and saw that hundreds of people were standing outside. Most were Innate Martial Artists, while fewer than a hundred were at the Qi Refining Stage.

Just as the crowd became noisy, a sudden “buzzing” sound came from the distance, and a ship slowly approached.

At first, it looked small from afar, but as the ship got closer, it became larger, blocking out the sunlight and bringing a great sense of pressure.

“Cloud Boat!”

The ship floated in midair and came to a steady stop, causing a wave of excitement among the crowd.

The Innate Martial Artists were all stunned, clearly having never seen such a grand display. Even the cultivators were surprised, though some had knowledge.

This was the Cloud Boat, made from top-quality materials. Inside, it was inscribed with formations, powered by spirit stones, allowing it to travel a thousand miles a day.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the Cloud Boat slowly started, and before long, it disappeared into the sky above Tianyuan Academy.
