Manager Qi quickly left the Tempest Courtyard with Hang Chen and the others.
After returning to the Azure Pine Courtyard, everyone entered a secret room. Clearly, they had something to discuss.
Just now, Manager Qi had admitted defeat to Ji Tianxing in front of everyone in the Tempest Courtyard. This made Hang Chen and the others somewhat unconvinced.
As soon as they entered the secret room, Yin Feiyang asked, "Sir Manager, you deliberately admitted defeat just now. Were you afraid that we would be in the limelight and suppress the Tempest Courtyard, angering the Sky Pillar Sect?"
Manager Qi shook his head and said with a grave expression, "I didn't admit defeat on purpose. That brat Ji Tianxing has extraordinary experience and knowledge. He really isn't simple."
Yin Feiyang slightly frowned and was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Sir Manager is right."
"I've secretly observed and investigated. Ji Tianxing should be the most outstanding among the ten disciples of the Tempest Courtyard."
"In the Dragon Mountain Tournament in a few days, he will represent the Sky Pillar Sect."
Manager Qi slightly nodded and said in a cold tone, "It seems that Ji Tianxing should be heavily nurtured by the Sky Pillar Sect. In the future, he will most likely become an elite genius of the Sky Pillar Sect."
"In this Dragon Mountain Tournament, the three of you will keep a close eye on him. If there's a chance to cripple him, that would be even better!"
"Otherwise, when he grows into a powerhouse in the future, he will be a stumbling block for our sect!"
Hang Chen grinned and revealed a cold smile. "Hehe, I already had this intention. Since Sir Manager has given the order, then I can rest assured!"
At this time, Ran Donglai asked again, "Manager Qi, there are only three days left until the Dragon Mountain Tournament. We've already discussed and figured out the details of the Tempest Courtyard. Shouldn't we return?"
Manager Qi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "There's no hurry. We'll return when the seven-day deadline is up."
"My mission is not yet complete. I still need to hurry and investigate."
"In the past few days, I've already walked through the nine peaks of the Sky Pillar Sect and have a preliminary understanding of the Nine Dragon Spirit Vein."
"Hehe, no wonder the Sky Pillar Sect can stand at the peak of the Tianchen Region and prosper for thousands of years."
"The Founding Ancestor of the Sky Pillar Sect used nine mountains to set up a grand formation, forming a Nine Dragon Spirit Vein. Not only did it gather the Spirit Qi of half of the Ancient Star Realm, but it also accumulated boundless Luck for the Sky Pillar Sect."
"With such luck and countless resources, how can the Sky Pillar Sect not be strong and prosperous?"
Hang Chen, Yin Feiyang, and the other two understood that if a sect wanted to flourish for a long time, then not only did it require the support and protection of experts, it also required great karmic luck and abundant resources.
The most important thing was that the sect could continuously absorb new blood and have a large reserve of talents. Only then could the sect produce experts in large numbers and truly prosper.
Although the Tian Jian Sect had been growing rapidly in recent years, the Tian Jian Sect had only been established for a few hundred years. Its foundation was far less profound than the Sky Pillar Sect's.
Even the Tian Jian Sect was not as majestic and domineering as the Sky Pillar Sect.
The difference between the two sects wasn't just in the number of experts, but also in the number of genius disciples.
Manager Qi frowned and said in a low voice, "The Sky Pillar Sect's people have been secretly watching us."
"Every time I move during the day, there are experts secretly following me. I only have an opportunity at night. But no matter how well I hide my movements, the Sky Pillar Sect still becomes suspicious. "
"For the next few days, you will stay in the Pine Courtyard. Don't go out and show off."
"After I complete my mission, we will leave the Sky Pillar Sect as soon as possible."
Hang Chen and the other two didn't ask Manager Qi what he had been doing these past few days.
They all knew that Manager Qi was carrying out the mission entrusted to him by the Sect Master and needed to keep it a secret.
…
For the next three days, the Wind Cloud Courtyard was finally quiet.
After the martial arts exchange ended, the three disciples of the Tian Jian Sect didn't come out again.
Ji Tianxing, Lu Mingyang, and the others had been bitterly cultivating, silently increasing their strength.
On the other hand, the White Dew Courtyard and the Riverflow Courtyard were still bustling with noise and excitement.
News of the martial arts exchange spread throughout the two courtyards, causing countless disciples to scramble over each other to discuss it.
Ji Tianxing's shocking words widened the horizons of the thousand plus outer court disciples, and they were all shocked by it.
For a time, Ji Tianxing had become an influential figure in the outer sect. It could be said that everyone knew about him.
Many disciples were curious about him and inquired about his deeds.
As a result, Ji Tianxing had been punished to sweep the floor a few days after entering the sect. He had also been framed and locked up for half a month. This news quickly spread throughout the outer sect.
Of course, the matter of him obtaining first place in both the alchemy and formation examinations also spread.
His experience was so complicated, bizarre, and turbulent. Naturally, it attracted a lot of discussion.
This caused the outer disciples to be even more interested in him, a genius who had been through a lot of misfortune, but was overflowing with talent!
Soon, the news spread throughout the outer sect and even the inner sect disciples knew about it.
There weren't many inner sect disciples, only a hundred or so, but all of them were Profound Comprehending realm experts.
Normally, inner sect disciples didn't pay much attention to outer sect matters.
However, this was the first time that a Tian Jian Sect disciple had come to the Sky Pillar Sect for an exchange, so it attracted the attention of the inner sect disciples.
For three consecutive days, many inner sect disciples were also discussing Ji Tianxing.
What everyone discussed the most was the words he had said in public.
Some disciples even had their own opinions. In order to argue about this matter, they even went to the deacons and elders to verify the truth.
In short, Ji Tianxing had become a hot topic in the Sky Pillar Sect.
Three days passed quickly.
That evening, the bell for assembly rang in the Wind Cloud Courtyard.
Ji Tianxing ended his cultivation and hurried to the main hall.
Soon, the ten disciples were all present.
Han Qiusheng walked into the main hall and announced with a solemn expression, "Everyone, today is the last day of the month. Tomorrow, the Dragon Mountain Tournament will begin.
"Everyone, please make your preparations tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will bring everyone to Dragon Mountain to cheer for our sect!"
The eight disciples who didn't need to participate in the tournament also revealed looks of anticipation.
Han Qiusheng looked at Ji Tianxing and Lu Mingyang and asked in a deep voice, "You've been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days. The tournament will begin tomorrow. How are your preparations?"
Ji Tianxing had been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days. He had been comprehending the fourth level of the Sword Heart Path and pondering about refining his acupoints.
He had just reached the first level of the Profound Comprehending realm, so it would be difficult for him to increase his strength in a short period of time.
He nodded calmly and said, "Disciple is ready. Please don't worry, Deacon Han."
Han Qiusheng looked at Lu Mingyang. Lu Mingyang immediately revealed a confident smile.
"Deacon Han, Disciple has already reached the peak of the first level of the Profound Comprehending realm. Ever since I decided to participate in the Dragon Mountain Tournament, I felt even more pressure and didn't dare to slack off.
"Fortunately, Disciple has been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days and finally broke through to the second level of the Profound Comprehending realm!"
