287 Crooked Ways
Fairy Hua Yun did not mind at all. She smiled and said, “Senior Sister, you’re right. For a new disciple to cultivate so quickly, it’s possible that she’s using some crooked ways and has an unstable foundation. I also have three spirit roots, so I’m very clear about my cultivation speed. Moreover, I’ve been cultivating for 40 years. I can’t possibly lose to a little girl who has only been cultivating for 2 years.”
Seeing that her Senior Sister was about to say something, Fairy Hua Yun immediately continued, “Senior Sister, don’t worry. I’m confident. If this little guy really has some treasure, I’ll be careful.”
Hearing her Junior Sister’s words, Hua Xiang nodded, but still said worriedly, “Our sect is different from other sects. Our Hundred Flower Valley uses a points system. The more victories you win this time, the more resources you’ll get when you return. Junior Sister, you’re already in your forties, so you should return as soon as possible to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.”
If one had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage at age 40, it would be considered late. It would be impossible to reach the Golden Core stage in this lifetime. Furthermore, Fairy Hua Yun’s participation in the competition this time had already been questioned by the sect’s people. If she won too little, when she returned to the sect, the original resources would also be divided up by others. At that time… It was unlikely that she would even reach Foundation Establishment.
Fairy Hua Yun also had some good fortune and had a few treasures with her. These were also her trump cards.
Fairy Hua Xiang was trying to persuade her. A few decades ago, Fairy Hua Yun had found a cultivation technique by chance as she stumbled into a cave.
If other cultivators did not reach the Foundation Establishment stage after 30, they would have no hope of reaching the Golden Core stage. However, Fairy Hua Yun consumed a lot of spiritual energy to temper her meridians, so her cultivation speed was very slow. There was also a hint on her cultivation technique that she only needed to build her Foundation before the age of 50.
Because of her special cultivation technique and treasures, Fairy Hua Yun did not think much of Dong Xi, who was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage.
The second match on the 7th arena had already ended. The sect’s Senior Sister at the scene informed Hua Yun, and only then did Fairy Hua Yun rush over to the arena.
Dong Xi stood below and saw Hua Yun in a pink dress coming from the air.
Dong Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. She had really put on an act…
This appearance was really like a fairy descending to the mortal world, but Qi Refinement stage cultivators could not walk in the air at all. Some could not even ride a sword and fly. This time, Fairy Hua Yun was completely relying on her movement technique.
However, this act… She would definitely have to pay the price of spiritual energy.
They had not even started the competition yet, and this woman was already wasting spiritual energy. This was really too unreliable.
Just as Fairy Hua Yun was about to walk onto the stage, the flower umbrella in her hand scattered many petals. Hua Yun turned around and showed her beauty.
The surrounding crowd immediately gasped in admiration. Dong Xi did not want to go up at this time and let others compare her to Fairy Hua Yun. She obediently waited for the 15 minutes to end before climbing up the stage.
Compared to Fairy Hua Yun’s way of appearing, Dong Xi’s way of appearing was indeed a little ugly, and boos came from below.
In addition to Dong Xi’s Green dress, red boots, and the yellow defensive talisman on her head, there was no comparison at all between her and Hua Yun.
Fairy Hua Yun looked at Dong Xi, who was opposite her. Hua Yun was stunned for a moment. Previously, when she heard that Dong Xi was only 12 years old, Hua Yun had thought that he would be a tender and cute girl.
But now, she saw a girl in front of her who was a little shorter than her and dressed weirdly. She was too different from what Hua Yun had imagined.
Dong Xi did not want to come out like this either, but Senior Brother Xiong Ye had just sent a message saying that someone had started a bet, and the odds were 1 to 42!
Senior Xiong Ye also sent a voice message. Xiong Ye said, “Junior Sister, I’ll help you place a bet of 30 lower spirit stones. Whether we can make a profit or not depends on your fight.”
When Dong Xi heard the news, she frowned. He bet only 30 spirit stones? There’s not much to earn from this, right? It was true. Everyone knew that the disciples of the Sword Sect did not have much money.
Before Dong Xi went up the stage, he secretly bet 1,000 high-grade spirit stones on herself and changed the odds to 1:27.
Dong Xi listened to the crowd’s analysis of her chances of losing, and even said that Dong Xi was almost certain to lose the battle.
Dong Xi gritted her teeth and took out all her equipment.
She would also make those who looked down on her pay the price.
“You’re Dong Xi?” asked Hua Yun.
“That’s right, please give me some pointers, Fairy Hua Yun,” Dong Xi saluted.
Hua Yun smiled and said, “I see that your attitude is quite good. I will definitely give you some guidance later. You are still young. If you lose, don’t cry.”
Dong Xi looked at Hua Yun. Dong Xi said, “Fairy, there’s a saying that I’m not sure if you’ve heard of?”
“What’s the saying?” Hua Yun asked, furrowing her brows.
