Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C121 Struggle
The man who set up the stall was lying on the side under a tree. His face was covered with a straw hat. Hearing what was said, he raised his hat and looked at them with half-opened eyes. “Which one of you wants?”
Liu Ying pointed at Gu Qing, “She wants!”
Gu Qing lifted his head. Since Liu Ying had already asked about it for her, and asked about the price, if it was appropriate, she would buy it to see what exactly it was.
The person glanced at her indifferently and directly spoke out a price, “Ten high rank Spiritual Stone!”
“What!” Liu Ying exclaimed, and then said angrily: “Are you bullying us our first time here? This crappy thing would need at least ten high grade Spiritual Stone! ”
When the cultivator heard this, he didn’t have any expression and directly closed his eyes, “I only sell people with fates, I don’t buy anything and I will leave on my own.”
Liu Ying was about to say more, but was stopped by Gu Qing, telling her not to worry.
Gu Qing had been sizing up this stall owner. She realized that she could not see through the other party’s cultivation, and could not feel the pressure that belonged to the High Ranked Cultivator. No matter what, it was better not to offend such a person too much.
She looked at the blemished ball and frowned, estimating that this ball was not worth ten high rank Spiritual Stone s. Although she could take out ten high rank Spiritual Stone s, but after spending that money, she did not have enough money to buy other good things.
She reached out her hand to caress the ball, and that feeling resonated with her body once again. Determination flashed through his eyes. He then raised his head and said to the cultivator with slightly closed eyes: “Senior, I will buy this round ball.”
Just as he was speaking, a voice cut in beside him, “Wait!”
Gu Qing and Liu Ying turned their heads at the same time, only to see the few female cultivators from Fallen Immortal Mountain walking over slowly, and amongst them was her cheap older sister.
The moment the people from the Fallen Immortal Mountain walked over, the female cultivator in white, who was at the front, said to Gu Qing and Liu Ying: “Our senior sister saw this first.”
Just as Gu Qing was about to counterattack, Liu Ying had already exploded like an artillery shell, “Your senior sister took a fancy first? Then why didn’t she buy it? If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t spout nonsense in front of me.
Liu Ying already hated people with Fallen Immortal Mountain, so sshe was not courteous at all. After stopping them from speaking, he directly said to the stall owner: “We want this thing!”
“How dare you!” The female cultivator came up to him again.
Just as Liu Ying was prepared to continue the battle, the booth owner’s voice broke the tension between the two groups, “I have already decided to sell it to this young lady.” He extended her finger and pointed at Gu Qing.
Seeing that, Liu Ying immediately raised the corner of her mouth, she could not be bothered to argue with the Fallen Immortal Mountain people anymore. Just as Gu Qing was about to take out the Spiritual Stone to buy the ball, a voice came out from the side. It was cold and had a sense of existence that no one could ignore, “Two Fellow Taoist, I am willing to pay a high price to buy the Spiritual Treasure in your hands, how about it?”
The one who spoke out was Gu Lee. If it was someone else, Gu Qing would not necessarily insist on buying it, but the one fighting against her for the Spiritual Treasure in front of her was Gu Lee, so she definitely would not let her go. Gu Lee had been like this since she was young, but whatever she had set her eyes on, no one else would get involved. But right now, she was from different sects and their cultivations were on par with each other. Why would she listen to her and give her what she wanted?
“I’m sorry, I like this thing a lot too. I won’t let anyone pay any price for something I like very much!” With that, Gu Qing turned her head and passed the ten Spiritual Stone in her hands to the vendor.
“The Soul Absorbing Bell on your wrist isn’t bad. If the Sect Master s of the Meet and Enjoy Sect knew that the elite disciples of their sect are in the Xuanhua Sect, they would definitely be happy to bring you back.”
Gu Qing’s expression instantly changed, her eyes drooped, and revealed a section of a bell on her wrist.
She quickly regained her composure and withdrew her hand.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Lee was satisfied in her heart, but she did not reveal too much on the surface.
Gu Qing slowly turned around, looked straight into Gu Lee’s cold eyes, and curled the corner of her lips. “Really? I am not a disciple of the Meet and Enjoy Sect. If you do not believe me, you can have the Sect Master of the Meet and Enjoy Sect recognize me. ”
How could she not recognize Gu Lee’s threat? But if he made her compromise just because of her threat, then she would not be Gu Qing! Although only elite disciples would have the [Soul Absorbing Bell], she turned around and sold or threw it away. With Gu Lee’s words, even if the of the Meet and Enjoy Sect were capable of blaming the mid to late stage Foundation Establishment disciples, the Xuanhua Sect would probably not agree to it.
Gu Lee was startled, she did not seem to think that this seemingly normal female cultivator would contradict him like that.
The way she looked at him reminded her of a person she hated the most. She suddenly hated the female cultivator in front of her.
“Think carefully, don’t cause unnecessary trouble for a Spiritual Treasure that can’t be considered very good!” Gu Lee continued to threaten her.
Gu Qing chuckled, “Fellow Taoist has thought it through. Why fight over a Spiritual Treasure that can’t be considered very good? Losing the demeanour of a Fellow Taoist, wouldn’t it hurt more if word of this got out? ”
Gu Lee did not expect the female cultivator, who was as ordinary as a speck of dust, to actually block his way to speechlessness. This was the first time she seriously sized her up, and asked: “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. The most important thing is that I’m going to buy this thing. I won’t allow anyone to buy it!” After Gu Qing finished speaking, she immediately gave the ten pieces of high grade Spiritual Stone to the vendor. “Senior, I will take this Spiritual Treasure.”
The stall owner did not seem to see the two people fighting with words, and upon hearing this, he did not even open his eyes. He only extended his hand to take the Spiritual Stone from Gu Qing’s hands, and continued to lie there without moving.
Gu Qing did not mind, she kept the round ball into her Universe Bag and just as she was about to turn around and call Liu Ying to leave, Gu Lee continued, “Very good! I’ll remember you. ”
With that, he took the lead and left.
Seeing that, Liu Ying curled her lips: “None of the Fallen Immortal Mountain’s disciples are good, this Gu Lee is only the beauty ranked eighth in terms of Cultivation Realm, her arrogant appearance can simply go to the heavens, I hate people like him.”
“Since it’s not a good thing, then don’t think about it. Otherwise, you might waste your time thinking about it.” Gu Qing replied, as if she had truly forgotten about Gu Lee and the others.
Liu Ying’s face was filled with admiration, she gave Gu Qing a thumbs up, “Sure! Senior Sister Zi Jin, looking at your amiable look, I never thought that your mouth would be stronger than mine! ”
Gu Qing smiled, “Then as for those who scored, there will be some who will have thick faces, and do not need to leave any face for her.”
Gu Qing did not expect that they would stay for three days in the small town outside of the Wasteland. During this period, many disciples from various sects passed by, coming and going, and the places where they could normally hear the sound of needles dropping gradually became noisy.
Gu Qing originally wanted to study the round ball Spiritual Treasure, but she couldn’t do anything as Liu Ying was too mobile. Every time she finished cultivating, Liu Ying would show up and pull her to the shop.
Just as she was about to use up all the Spiritual Stone on her, a commotion suddenly came from behind her. Liu Ying who was looking left and right suddenly lowered her head, wishing that she could curl up into a ball.
Gu Qing sensed her, and turned to look at her, “What’s wrong? “Uncomfortable?”
Liu Ying immediately winked at him and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk to me.”
Hearing that, Gu Qing no longer spoke to her, but slowly turned her head to look at the bustling place. Her gaze instantly focused on him. She had thought of many scenes where she would meet him again, and mentally prepared herself to meet him again this time. However, this sudden meeting caused her body to slightly stiffen.
There was one person, no matter where he appeared, who was the center of attention, even if he didn’t do anything and wore the simplest of white robes.
Seeing her again, Gu Qing’s mood had already calmed down a lot. She was only stunned for a short while before calming down. However, Yun Tian didn’t stop moving closer and closer to her.
She immediately looked away, thinking that she had been seen through. However, he then laughed at himself. Even if he were to stand here without any disguise, he would not be able to walk towards him.
Thinking about that, she immediately turned to look at Liu Ying who was cowering in her hair, and understood what was going on in an instant. This girl had become an inner disciple as the daughter of the Xuanhua Sect’s Sect Leader, and now that she had sneaked back, Yun Tian would definitely ask her a question.
“Martial Nephew Liu!” Yun Tian’s clear and beautiful voice that was like a gurgling stream of water entered Liu Ying’s ears, yet she felt that it was incomparably ear-piercing. Her body suddenly trembled, and then, she turned her head, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, “Master … “Uncle!”
“Martial Nephew Liu, should you give me an explanation?”
“Martial Uncle, that … Can I explain it to you later? ” Liu Ying now looked like a completely different person.
But Yun Tian remained calm, “Good! Wait until you return to the Huaqing Palace to explain yourself, ”
Liu Ying said with a bitter face, “Alright, Martial Uncle!”
Yun Tian gave a light “Mn” and turned around to leave. At the instant he turned around to leave, his gaze swept across Gu Qing’s continuously drooping face, and he left with the rest of the Huaqing Palace.
Gu Qing also felt Yun Tian’s gaze sweep past her, which made all of the hairs on her body stand up. It was not because she was worried that Yun Tian would discover her, but because she had not thought of what kind of attitude she should face him again.
Finally, the day before the competition, Yuan Lang appeared in the cultivator town with a darkened face.
Everyone knew that, so no one dared to even touch Yuan Lang’s eyebrows.
Gu Qing also understood in her heart, that Spiritual Master Qixia had formed her core earlier than Yuan Lang, and hated Yuan Lang to the bone, so how could she be lenient? I’m afraid Yuan Lang has suffered a lot at her hands.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not speak. Everyone welcomed the day of the competition.
The various sects and clans had too many people, and everyone decided their opponent by drawing lots. Gu Qing’s competition would be held five days later, so for the past five days, she had been cultivating in seclusion the entire time.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Gu Lee’s reputation had skyrocketed when she fought against the Fire-cloud Sparrow. It had to be said that Gu Lee’s cultivation was extraordinary before, but this time, what made her famous was her true strength. The only thing that people talked about was her appearance, which was considered as one of the top within Cultivation Realm.
When Gu Qing came out, she heard discussions about Gu Lee everywhere, even saying that she was the strongest female cultivator on the Cultivation Realm Beauty Board.
(If everyone has any money, please don’t hold back. Don’t beat me up, don’t be afraid of pain.)
