Chapter 137: Following in Her Footsteps
In the Long Clear Hall, an elder sighed to himself, “He really defeated a Foundation Establishment disciple… and it’s that disciple of Elder Zuo.”
The other sect elders could not help nodding in wonder when they heard this.
“He won against a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Qi Refinement realm… and I don’t see many injuries on his body. This kid really… has a strong body.”
“A body forged from body refinement can actually suppress the Dao Foundation. This is unprecedented.”
“There’s also that chain. Its grade isn’t low. Elder He really invested a lot in this disciple.”
“That’s true… if such a disciple were to be given to me, I would be willing to pay a huge price as well.”
After seeing Jiang Li’s first battle in the sky arena, it would be a lie to say that they were not surprised.
In the process of a cultivator’s cultivation, every single realm represented a transformation of the body, and there was naturally a huge gap between it and the previous realm.
Wanting to cross realms to challenge others was definitely not as simple as just saying it.
Amongst the elders, the most smug person present was Jiang Li’s master, the burly Elder He.
They saw Elder He walking towards the elder with a ‘grim’ expression on his face.
“Oh my, look at what happened. Junior Brother Zuo, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. How did my disciple injure your disciple?”
Although Elder He said that he was sorry, his mouth was already grinning from ear to ear. Anyone who saw this would wish to punch him in the face.
He glanced and winked at Elder Zuo of the Law Enforcement Hall, causing the other party’s face to turn green and white. The two of them nearly brawled on the spot.
However, none of the other elders stopped them. All of them held back their laughter as they watched the two of them tear each other apart.
Over the past hundreds of years, these two had always been like this. If they stopped fighting, everyone would find it strange.
Among the 12 inner sect Head Elders of the Scripture Storage Valley, including the Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, none of them were fellow disciples under a certain master.
In fact, when they were young, they did not even know each other.
These 12 Head Elders were basically all people who had experienced the establishment of the Scripture Storage Valley back then. They were members of the rogue cultivator alliance.
After that period, they understood the importance of unity better than anyone else.
After all, the Scripture Storage Valley was a sect that was born from rogue cultivators.
They could not have the master and disciple relationship of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, where the five elements supported each other.
They were not from a clan like the Hundred Tempering Mountain who were related by marriage for generations.
Even Benevolent Travel Temple had a common faith and belief that they could not abandon.
However, there was nothing in the Scripture Storage Valley at that time. There were many internal conflicts and some rogue cultivators even had deep grudges.
At that time, other than the powerful guidance of the 11 founders, the reason why they stood together was because of external pressure.
It could be said that without the bullying of the other three sects back then, there would not be the Scripture Storage Valley of today.
Therefore, at the location where the Scripture Storage Valley was successfully established, the founders set this rule.
The twelve Head Elders of the inner sect of the Scripture Storage Valley had to set an example by supporting each other. They addressed each other as senior and junior brothers in order to achieve success and lead the sect to greater unity.
After more than 200 years, what they had done was indeed quite good.
Apart from the outer sect disciples that they could not take care of, although inner sect disciples did not love each other, there were rarely any conflicts between them.
Therefore, although it was a joke, the disciple of Elder Zuo was defeated by a Qi Refinement realm cultivator was a little shameful, but that was all.
In their eyes, most of them still believed that the Foundation Establishment disciple had lost to the Beast Blood Diagram, not Jiang Li.
However, it seemed to be the truth. If he did not have the four blood tattoos of the Beast Blood Diagram, Jiang Li was far from being his opponent’s match.
An ancient inheritance that was compatible with one’s body would definitely bring about a huge bonus to a cultivator.
Although Jiang Li’s performance was a little exaggerated, it was still within the scope of understanding.
After all, the previous genius, Chu Yunxuan, had already crushed their world view once in front of their eyes, causing their acceptance threshold for the concept of a genius to greatly increase.
“Junior Brother He, Junior Brother Zuo, don’t mess around.”
“It’s our fortune to have such a disciple appear in the sect. Junior Brother He, you should still continue to teach him well in the future.”
As the Valley Master, Daoist Wushe stepped forward and said a few words before the two of them stopped.
They looked at the floating ‘A’ stage again.
The ruined platform was covered in cracks, as if one stomp could send it back to the ground.
“The strongest cleansing technique?”
“Junior Brother Jiang Li, are you still not feeling well? If I just used the cleansing technique, no amount of spiritual qi can treat your injuries.”
When Senior Sister Qi Yu heard Jiang Li’s request, she was very puzzled.
With the cleansing technique, even a pig would become a clean pig. If she used more spiritual qi, she would probably be able to wash someone until their skin peeled.
“It’s like this, Senior Sister. I seem to have gotten some poison on my body just now. I’m afraid that I haven’t gotten rid of it completely, so I wanted to get your help to feel at ease.”
Jiang Li thought for a moment and came up with a reason.
Senior Sister Qi Yu frowned tightly when she heard this, and she seemed to be slightly angry.
“That guy actually dared to poison you… Junior Brother, don’t worry. Senior Sister will help you teach him a lesson later.”
After Jiang Li mourned for that senior brother for three seconds, he stood obediently on the spot.
A moment later, a stream of water attribute spiritual qi struck Jiang Li’s body again.
If it was said that he was bathing in the mud just now, then Jiang Li had walked into the car wash store and let the strongest worker in the store wash him like a car.
The status had also changed from the original [Body Cleaning] to the more effective [Effective Body Cleaning]. As usual, Jiang Li pressed the plus button to keep this status permanently.
Qi Yu left after completing the mission, leaving behind Jiang Li, who had put on his disciple uniform again. He stood on the platform alone and observed the battles between the other ten Foundation Establishment disciples.
He would continue to challenge them later. For the reward promised by Elder He, he had to choose one of the five floating stages to occupy.
As he looked at the spiritual qi fluctuation that seeped out from the five combat rings, Jiang Li was calculating in his heart which one he had the greatest chance of winning against.
At this moment, a sandstorm seemed to have blown up on an arena, and dust covered the entire area. After a while, a human-shaped statue was pushed out from above.
After flying into the air, the statue’s outer shell collapsed, revealing a familiar burly figure.
Jiang Li slapped his forehead and was slightly speechless. This was a senior brother under Elder He. Obviously, he had followed in Senior Sister Liu Mulan’s footsteps.
