Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C109 Balls of Light That Filled the Sky

Gu Qing and Wang Lin stood in the corner and chatted without saying a word. Very quickly, the door to the library was opened from the inside.

Gu Qing looked and saw that it was actually Spiritual Master Qing Xu, who was in charge of accepting disciples.

“Oh right, you said that the various sects can only send one Golden Core Stage Cultivator to the Ancient Ruins, then who is the Golden Core Stage Cultivator that the Xuanhua Sect has sent?”

“Of course it’s Martial Uncle Yuan Lang. In terms of age, the one who has reached the Core Formation stage is only him.” Wang Lin stared at Spiritual Master Qing Xu and explained to him without turning his head back.

Gu Qing nodded and did not speak further. Although Daoist Master Qing Xu and the others were already in the middle and late stages of the Aurous Core stage, they were already young, and might not be able to go far in the future. However, the younger cultivators of the Aurous Core stage had more time to break through to the higher realms, and if she was a Sect Leader of a variety of sects, she would also decide to do so.

“You can choose any technique from the first, second, and third tier in the Compendium Pavilion. However, all of you have to bear in mind that there are always opportunities and opportunities, so there’s no need for you to force it.” Daoist Master Qing Xu’s gaze swept across the hundreds of cultivators present. His wrinkled face had a sense of majesty to it.

After Daoist Master Qing Xu gave his advice, he stepped aside. The disciples in front of the Compendium Pavilion looked at each other, and finally glanced at the meditating Daoist Master Qing Xu before boldly walking into the Compendium Pavilion.

There were one and two. Upon seeing this, the other disciples all rushed to the door of the Compendium Pavilion.

Wang Lin seemed to be moved, he wanted to fight forward, but seeing that, Gu Qing said: “Senior brother can go first, Junior sister will come back later.”

Wang Lin did not conceal his desire and nodded after hearing this, “Then Senior Brother will go first.”

After Wang Lin left, Gu Qing was not in a rush to go forward, after all, there were a few hundred people outside, and it would take some time for them to get in. Moreover, she had paid attention to what Dao Master Qing Xu said, “There is always luck, there is no need to force anything”.

But Gu Qing would never remind Wang Lin, whether he believed it or not, he did not know, that the only thing he did was save his life, and the two of them did not have much interaction. Furthermore, she also didn’t want to be together with Wang Lin. Everyone’s luck was different, if they were to encounter some good stuff, it would not be good if they ended up getting into an argument with the other two.

After waiting for around fifteen minutes, there were only a few people left in the dense crowd outside the library. Gu Qing turned to look, other people she did not recognize, but she saw a familiar face.

Shen Chang!

At the same time, Shen Chang also noticed her. It was just that the two of them did not pay attention to each other and simultaneously looked at each other.

Shen Chang went to the left, and she went to the right.

The first floor was sparsely populated, with only a few dozen Initial Period of Foundation Stage disciples present. The rest of the people had basically gone up to the second or third floor.

All sects were the same. The better the cultivation technique, the higher it would be. Shen Chang also understood this principle, so he directly went upstairs after turning left. Gu Qing, on the other hand, had different thoughts from the others, because she had once picked up a Withered Handprint at the auction house.

Everyone thought that this was just an ordinary technique and only Gu Qing understood its power. Therefore, even if it was the first level, Gu Qing had never seen it all and would not easily abandon these techniques. She stopped in front of the first bookshelf on the right and looked at the names and powers of the manuals from top to bottom.

The first book that was opened by the [Flower Plucking Seal] was a book that was extremely suitable for women to cultivate. It could transform spirit energy into petals, and kill people without leaving a trace, but with just a glance, Gu Qing threw it away, because there were simply too many of these methods.

The ‘Seven Styles of the Gyroscope’ was a type of body refining cultivation method. After mastery, the body would be like iron and steel and could be used as a Magic Treasure. But Gu Qing still gave up. Firstly, the cultivation technique was suitable for men, and secondly, there were a lot of body tempering techniques, so it was not considered outstanding.

Ye Zichen glanced at the bookshelves one by one. The thirty-six manuals were all just ordinary cultivation techniques. Gu Qing also understood that such a heaven defying art like the Withered Handprint could not be seen everywhere like ordinary cabbages.

But if she didn’t check them all, she was worried that she would miss this opportunity. So he restrained his temper and slowly checked along the bookshelf.

Very quickly, only a few disciples of the Initial Period of Foundation Stage were left on the first floor. Gu Qing finally finished reading the last book, turned, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor was not as empty as the first floor. There were over a hundred people standing hundreds of feet away from the second floor. No one was holding a book and carefully studying it. Gu Qing was also unable to casually flip through the books like what she did on the first level, she could only pick up the books that the rest of them were not reading and read slowly.

The second floor’s cultivation technique was clearly stronger than the first floor’s, and many of them were even more powerful than her Misty Rain Sword. But Gu Qing did not want to miss such an opportunity to choose a cultivation technique that was the same as the Misty Rain Sword.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Qing had already looked through most of the cultivation techniques at the second level, but she had not chosen a suitable one, because there was still a small portion of them that were either checked or already used for Skill Storing.

It was not because they had selected the other people that they could not choose from. Other than the cultivation techniques of the third floor which had Barrier s installed, the rest of the cultivation techniques could be left at their original places using treasures. Therefore, Gu Qing watched very slowly, waiting for the other party to finish imprinting before she checked again.

In any case, Daoist Master Qing Xu did not set a time. She could just flip through all the cultivation techniques to understand the characteristics and weaknesses of the other cultivation techniques.

After an hour, Gu Qing finally finished looking through all the cultivation techniques, but she still could not find any that could move her heart or make her feel that there was something special about it.

She didn’t seem to be discouraged. Instead, she turned around and walked up to the third floor of the Compendium Pavilion.

Several hours had passed since they entered the library, and most of the cultivators had already chosen their cultivation techniques and left. Only a few were still hesitating on the second or third floor.

When Gu Qing stepped onto the third floor, she realized that this was the place with the most people. Even after a few hours had passed, there were still over a hundred cultivators on this floor, and most of them were mid to late stage Foundation Establishment. They were all immersed in studying, and had not noticed Gu Qing’s appearance at all.

Gu Qing glanced over and saw Shen Chang standing by a wall while frowning and muttering to himself. The other party didn’t notice her presence and his brows tightly knitted together. Gu Qing was a little doubtful as to why he was staring at a wall in such a daze, but he quickly retracted his gaze and started to study the cultivation technique along the bookshelf closest to her.

The cultivation technique on the third level was indeed powerful. Picking any random book was enough to shock her. He then flipped through a few more books, each of them much more powerful than her Misty Rain Sword.

Gu Qing suddenly felt as if she had entered a treasure mountain, and her speed of flipping the books slowed down …

Unlike the two layers below, this layer had many cultivation techniques. This layer was sparse and refined, with only a few books on each bookshelf.

Gu Qing swept a glance across the row of bookshelves, and really had the impulse to sweep them all away. Unfortunately, she could only choose one, and Gu Qing could only continue walking forward.

Suddenly, Gu Qing felt a faintly discernable spiritual energy floating towards him. She immediately looked over, only to see a bare wall standing there, devoid of anything.

Gu Qing frowned slightly, she suddenly turned to look at Shen Chang, only to see him standing there with his back facing her, just enough for her to see the wall in front of him.

She slowly withdrew her gaze and thought for a moment. Could there be some mystery behind this bare wall?

With that in mind, she immediately sensed the faintly discernible spiritual energy that was being emitted from the wall.

Could this be the lucky chance that Daoist Master Qing Xu spoke of?

Out of all the cultivators around, only she and Shen Chang seemed to have noticed the problem with the wall. He didn’t know whether these walls had different cultivation techniques or if there was only one manual on them. The two of them would fight for it.

Thinking that it was very possible that Shen Chang would obtain a decent cultivation technique, Gu Qing could not stay calm. After all, the two were in a hostile state, she would definitely not be willing to allow his strength to increase by another level.

With that in mind, she immediately calmed down and started to carefully search for the mysteries within.

However, things were not as simple as she thought. After a while, other than feeling the strands of spiritual energy, she did not find anything special. Just like Shen Chang, she also frowned.

After an hour, the number of cultivators in the Compendium Pavilion dwindled.

Two hours later, only ten cultivators remained in the Compendium Pavilion.

Several hours passed, and only the two of them were left standing against the wall. However, both of them seemed to have immersed themselves in the state of their eyes and did not notice the passage of time.

Gu Qing felt that her head was heavy, her consciousness a little muddled, her eyes a field of whiteness, where was she? What to do? Her heart was at a loss.

Come here…

He seemed to hear a distant call from deep within his soul.

Gu Qing could not help but take a step forward.

A little more…

Her voice was faint and intermittent.

However, Gu Qing’s footsteps unconsciously approached the direction of the voice.

Gradually, she saw white blobs of light appear in the sky in front of her.

As soon as she stood up, some of the balls of light flew towards her. She subconsciously reached out to touch them, but when they came to her side, they avoided her hands and circled around her.

Gu Qing immediately reached out to grab it, but no matter how fast she was, the balls of light were always one step faster than her to slip away from her palms.

After grabbing for a long time, she was unable to grab a single ball of light.

At this moment, she saw a familiar figure quickly rushing over, and her consciousness gradually returned.

Shen Chang only glanced at her before he reached out to grab the balls of light. At the same time, however, the balls of light were as slippery as loaches. They could always slip away as fast as a step, making it impossible for anyone to catch them and yet to leave.

Gu Qing angrily stopped for a while, and saw that Shen Chang was still doing the same thing again. He slowly moved further away from the duo, and then she discovered that the balls of light surrounding the two of them had immediately dispersed. The majority of them surrounded Shen Chang, and only a few of them surrounded his, while many of the balls of light hung in the sky, especially the ball of light as bright as the sun, which was especially conspicuous.

Gu Qing had originally wanted to increase the distance between him and Shen Chang, in case that despicable person would find out about her true identity. But she immediately regretted it, because these balls of light obviously liked Shen Chang more than her.
