"Oh? Doesn't that use up a lot of qi? "Qing said with some surprise after hearing the sect master's words.
"In theory, it does use up a lot of qi. It's the same as using up your own strength to fight the enemy!" The sect master paused, a little suspicious, "But this person is a little special! Aunt Qing, didn't Li say this before? All of his qi had been sucked out by Naipao, and he was a complete cripple! But in one night, not only did he recover his strength, he even broke through! "
"It seems like there are a lot of special people amongst the freelancers!" Aunt Qing sighed, "Too bad he's a man- there's no way he'll be able to become a core member of the Ice Palace!"
The Ice Palace didn't accept men, and this was an unwritten rule that wasn't made public, but all the core members of the Ice Palace knew about it! The Ice Palace's inner sect was all women- if a man were to enter, there was only one possibility, and that was that the heir of the Ice Palace had appeared. In order to continue the Ice Palace's legacy, the heir needed to find a husband to continue the lineage, but in all these years, no heir had ever appeared, so there were no men in the inner sect!
As for those male trial-takers who fantasized about becoming an outer sect disciple of the Ice Palace, they would all be disappointed in the future. No matter how outstanding they were, they wouldn't be able to enter the core of the Ice Palace!
Just like the inn owner, Li, he didn't just have a magical ability, he wasn't weak either. But after all these years, he was still a normal disciple guarding the door, never entering the inner sect.
"Our Ice Palace doesn't need outsiders." The Ice Palace Mistress shook her head. Evidently, Lin Yi wasn't good enough for her. She was just curious, that was all.
"That's true! However, Palace Master, what do you think is going on with the lady that Ling Yi is carrying? " Qing and the sect master were master and servant in name, but after the sect master's Shifu left, she was the one taking care of the sect master until she grew up. She was more like an auntie!
So the two of them weren't too distant from each other. In front of the sect master, Qing wasn't too restrained, and the sect master even called her Aunt Qing! Because she had been calling him that since she was young. Even after she grew up and officially became the Palace Master, she still called him that!
Because of the sect master's strength, even the grand elder had to treat her with respect. In the ancient sects, strength was everything, and the sect master's strength was there for all to see. No one could say anything about what she did, and no one dared!
"I'm not sure, but it looks like he's dying. I haven't checked yet." The sect master said. "Perhaps he's participating in the trial to get the right to trade for treasures to cure the friend he's carrying!"
"Perhaps that's the case …" Qing nodded.
As the sect master and Qing talked about Lin Yi, Lin Yi suddenly felt like he was being watched. It wasn't because Lin Yi sensed anything, but it was a natural sixth sense!
Lin Yi closed his eyes and entered the jade space, using the jade space's senses to see who was watching him! The jade space didn't warn him, so that meant the person watching him didn't have any intentions of ambushing him!
But, to Lin Yi's disappointment, Lin Yi could only guess that the person watching him came from above the mountain, but he couldn't see who it was!
Lin Yi raised his head subconsciously, looking at the peak of the mountain. That was where the Ice Palace was. Could it be that the Ice Palace's people were watching the participants' every move? That had to be it!
With that thought in mind, Lin Yi didn't care anymore. After all, it was normal for the Ice Palace to be watching him.
Qing paused when she saw Lin Yi look up, "Did he notice us watching him?"
"That shouldn't be possible! We are Heaven class, and when we don't use our arts, low leveled practitioners won't be able to sense our presence- unless this person's sixth sense is naturally strong, or they've gone through some sort of professional training! "The sect master shook her head.
"Perhaps the perception of loose cultivators is very strong. For them to be able to survive, they are naturally a bit more powerful than those who came from aristocratic families," said Little Qing.
"But that Yang Qiqi is just so-so. I wonder how a solo practitioner like her managed to survive until now?" The sect master said with disdain. Because Qiqi was a girl, the sect master paid special attention to her, but the results were disappointing.
"Yeah, it seems like we need to make a rule for the next test that the participants must be female. Otherwise, almost all the participants from the noble houses will be male!" Qing nodded.
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. Enemies or people they didn't want to meet just had to meet! This was the situation Lin Yi and Yu Bing were in right now!
They followed Skybolt pig to search for the next treasure, but along the way, they saw Nitian and Yu Shan together, robbing another team's treasure!
"If you don't want to be crippled, then hand over all your treasures!" Yu Shan stood in front of the team members and said in a domineering manner, "You all know how powerful Brother Nitian is. If you dare to run or resist, I'll use my Nitian Mystic Mystic Mystic Art on you and cripple you!"
This team had just found a three hundred year snow lotus, and beside it, there was a White Bear guarding it. They had spent a lot of effort to defeat the White Bear, and just as they were about to reap the fruit of victory, they bumped into Nitian and Yu Shan, and they came to steal it!
They had naturally heard of Nitian's exploits, and so they didn't dare resist in front of him! They weren't Zhang Naipao, and they weren't Lin Yi!
