294 A Spar
Dong Xi immediately explained, “Senior Brother, no, no. I’ve never seen a lightning spirit root before. I came here to have a spar. I’m afraid I can’t beat someone with a lightning spirit root… Just tell me if Daoist Qian Yun is in the Qi Refinement stage or Foundation Establishment stage.”
“The Qi Refinement stage,” the man replied.
Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Qi Refinement was fine, she could still exchange pointers.
Dong Xi once again stuffed the Spirit Restore Pill into this man’s hand. Dong Xi said, “I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother to help me pass on a message. Tell him that Dong Xi of the Ningtian Sect wishes to spar with fellow Daoist Qian Yun.”
The disciple from the earth fiend Palace took a few glances at Dong Xi before turning around and entering the courtyard.
Dong Xi did not realize the seriousness of the matter until a very loud voice said, “Qian Yun, your admirer is outside. She wants to see you.”
Dong Xi, “???”
Dong Xi’s eyes widened, and she really wanted to rush in and cover that person’s mouth.
However, unexpectedly, the man continued to shout, “It’s Dong Xi from the Ningtian Sect. The little girl said she wanted to spar with him, but who doesn’t know that our Junior Brother Qian Yun has many admirers?”
Dong Xi was speechless.
There were so many people in the Earth Fiend Hall, but Dong Xi just had to meet someone with such a big mouth, and his voice was so loud…
Dong Xi had an impulse to immediately escape from this place, but when she thought about it, her reputation had already been ruined, and she still could not borrow the power of lightning. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if she left now?
Dong Xi gritted her teeth and stood in place. After a while, the Fellow Daoist who had gone in to pass the message came out, followed by a group of people who were watching the show.
When Dong Xi saw so many people looking at him, she felt her scalp go numb.
These people were very enthusiastic, and it was obvious that their cultivation was not very good. They were guaranteed to be no match for Dong Xi’s Senior Brother.
Dong Xi silently cursed in her heart, but her face did not show it at all. She was even more natural and unrestrained, as if she did not care about this group of people watching her.
“I’m Dong Xi from the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi cupped his fists at the crowd. I’ve heard that Daoist Qian Yun has a lightning spirit root. I wonder if we can have a spar?”
Dong Xi did not even know who Qian Yun was, and was only looking for a tool with a lightning spirit root.
Qian Yun had seen many admirers who came to look for him, but he had never seen one who did not even look at him.
Moreover, this little girl did not look very old, so how could she be an admirer? There was a high chance that his Senior Brother was talking nonsense again.
“So it’s Fairy Dong Xi, I’ve long heard of your great name.” Qian Yun also cupped his fists.
Dong Xi did not believe in these polite words at all. Dong Xi had only joined the sect for a short time, so how could she have such a reputation?
Qian Yun saw that Dong Xi’s eyes were clear, and her face was filled with eagerness. She did not have the shyness of a young girl at all, as if she really just wanted to fight.
Qian Yun had an idea of what was going on. After thinking for a moment, Qian Yun said, “Master said that Immortal cultivators are supposed to learn from each other and grow. Please enlighten me, Junior Sister.”
When Dong Xi heard Qian Yun agree, she immediately said, “Are we going to find a place with fewer people to spar now?”
Qian Yun nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Excuse me, is Junior Martial Sister a sword cultivator?”
“It can be considered half a sword cultivator,” said Dong Xi with a smile.
As for the other half, Qian Yun didn’t ask, and Dong Xi did not say.
The two of them wanted to go to the back mountain of Thunder Sound Temple to spar, and the crowd followed them closely.
Dong Xi was helpless. She had indeed come to get beaten up, but getting beaten up secretly and being beaten up by a group of people were two completely different things.
Dong Xi and Qian Yun tactfully asked everyone to leave, but no matter what, everyone had to stay and cheer for them.
How could Dong Xi not understand that these people just wanted to watch a good show? Dong Xi had no choice but to ‘thank’ the Senior Brother who had passed the message.
The two of them found a place to spar. Qian Yun made his preparations and noticed that Dong Xi did not take out her sword. Qian Yun said, “Junior Sister, you’re not going to take your sword?”
“There’s no rush, Senior Brother, please make your move,” said Dong Xi with a smile.
Qian Yun could not see through Dong Xi’s cultivation either. She did not look too old, so her cultivation should be very low.
However, to be able to participate in the competition at such a young age, there must be something amazing about her, and she should not be underestimated.
As the battle began, both of them lost their composure. Qian Yun casually threw a basic lightning strike.
This was in line with Dong Xi’s thoughts. Dong Xi did not even dodge and immediately put on a khaki-colored protective barrier.
As soon as the lightning struck, the protective shield shattered. Dong Xi took the lightning strike head-on.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Dong Xi’s actions. Dong Xi was so young… Could she be an idiot?
The lightning targeted her, and yet, she did not even dodge the attack?
Dong Xi stood in place. After absorbing the power of lightning in her body, she said with a smile, “Senior Brother, please continue.”
Qian Yun saw that nothing had happened to Dong Xi, but her already curly hair had become even more curly.
