Eldest Sister Gives Up Cultivating - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 It’s Not You Who’s At Fault, It’s the World!

The battle between Qi Refinement realm cultivators was nothing in the eyes of most people.

They would at most form energy balls, gather gusts of wind., or accumulate a few spiritual power balls…

In terms of theatrical effect, it was not as exciting as the people in the martial world using Heaven Shaking Thunder, rockets, and poisonous smoke.

But Bai Lian was different. Although her strength was already comparable to an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, she still watched with interest.

She didn’t have anything else to do anyway.

Before she transmigrated, she liked to watch ants fight and could watch with interest for a long time.

After Xiao Jinse went on stage, it still caused controversy.

It was mainly because many people were jealous of her.

“Everyone is trash, why didn’t Senior Sister Bai choose me?”

“I lost my father when I was one year old and my mother when I was two years old. I’m even worse than Xiao Jinse. Why won’t Senior Bai pay attention to me? Wu Wu Wu…”

“Didn’t your mother send you money just a while ago?”

The group of people looked at the newbie who was acting pitiful with cold gazes. So she was an orphan. If so, then they were fine with it (they weren’t).

“This Xiao Jinse’s luck is too bad. She actually encountered Shao Zhou in the first round. Shao Zhou was already at the fourth level of Qi Refinement before entering the Immortal Du Sect.”

“Ah, doesn’t that mean I can’t win in my group?”

“What are you thinking about? You should pass the first round first.”

Fourth level of Qi Refinement?

nert

Xiao Jinse immediately understood Shao Zhou’s true strength. Her originally slightly nervous heart relaxed, because after Senior Sister Bai filled her body with pills, she was already about to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

Senior Sister Bai was right.

She would go her own way and let the commentators beside her say whatever they wanted!

Clang!

“The competition begins!”

A loud shout pierced the arena.

Xiao Jinse attacked immediately. Shao Zhou was completely dispirited. He calmly pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist as a belt.

There was no hurry. He would play with her first!

That was what Shao Zhou thought.

No matter what, Xiao Jinse was Senior Sister Bai’s direct junior sister. If he beat her up too badly, it would be very difficult for even Senior Sister Bai’s saintly heart to not waver and vent her anger on him, right?

After all, saints were also humans.

As a gentleman of a large country, Shao Zhou understood the ways of the world!

“Junior Sister Xiao, the sword in my hand is called a wave… Eh?”

Shao Zhou still wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Jinse’s Snow Blowing Heavy Sword was already about to land on his head.

This woman was really not elegant at all!

Shao Zhou immediately waved the sword in his hand.

It was curled up like a coiling dragon, but once spiritual power was injected, the Wave Sword he had personally forged would immediately become much harder than tempered steel. It could even break a heavy sword!

Ding.

The sharp blades collided, and the trembling spiritual energy raised a cold wind on the arena.

As expected, Shao Zhou blocked Xiao Jinse’s attack.

“Not bad.”

Bai Lian nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Jinse had been fighting Jade Rabbit these few days. She was still worried that this junior sister would not be used to it when she first went up.

It looked like it wouldn’t be long before Second Junior Sister finished her apprenticeship.

This way, she could live her life as a hero without worry.

At this moment, Xiao Jinse had already completely blocked the surrounding sounds.

Senior Sister Bai said that she should end the battle quickly and not waste her energy in the preliminaries. She pressed her right hand forward, and the terrifying force made Shao Zhou’s right foot slip.

“Is this natural divine power?”

Shao Zhou realized that he had underestimated Xiao Jinse. It looked like he had to show his true abilities to avoid being a joke to others.

Shao Zhou turned around and was prepared to show his sword might. The Wave Sword in his hand suddenly became soft and hard, raising sword lights that filled the sky in the arena. For a moment, it looked like snow was falling from the sky.

Pfft.

Suddenly, the Wave Sword stabbed at Xiao Jinse’s heart.

This move was Shao Zhou’s trump card.

He was shocked to discover that Xiao Jinse actually didn’t move at all in the face of his aggressive move and didn’t block. Wasn’t she afraid of his sword?

Shao Zhou was just about to remind Xiao Jinse when the girl raised her right hand slightly. The pitch-black heavy sword suddenly emitted a green and white fluorescent light. From afar, it simply seemed like a thicker version of a light sword.

Shao Zhou widened his eyes. He felt as if his heart had been grabbed by that sword.

Dark lightning rumbled, and the heavy sword blew snow.

Bang!

The low voice broke Shao Zhou’s state of mind. The Snow Blowing Sword easily flicked the Wave Sword in his hand away. The stirring wind wiped the hair on his forehead clean and even scraped a bloody mark.

Sensing the burning pain, he understood. Xiao Jinse’s cultivation was stronger than his to begin with!

“The winner is…”

Before he could say this, Shao Zhou shouted and ran down the stage. His mentality had collapsed.

“I’m a fool. If I listen to the nonsense of passers-by in the future, I’ll be a big fool!”

The onlookers beside the arena looked at each other in surprise.

What was this Shao Zhou doing?!

Someone’s expression was solemn. “As expected of Senior Sister Bai. She actually made the strength of a low-level fire spiritual root cultivator increase to this extent in just a month!”

“How much effort did she put in?”

Xiao Jinse’s heart warmed. Only she, who had experienced this month personally, knew how much Senior Sister Bai had sacrificed for her.

For an entire month, in order to help her increase her cultivation level, Senior Sister Bai had meditated and cultivated less than five times. She usually stayed on the top of Qiong Ming Peak and would only bring Jade Rabbit down the mountain to take a walk.

Moreover, at night, Senior Sister Bai would show her ankles for Xiao Jinse to comprehend the Dao runes. Xiao Jinse was now so proficient that she knew Senior Sister Bai’s feet perfectly.

Sigh.

After all, Senior Sister Bai had only spent a year to break through from the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm. The sacrifice of this month was obvious!

Xiao Jinse’s mood was a little heavy.

But after seeing Bai Lian’s smile, she couldn’t help but be happy. She didn’t disappoint Senior Sister Bai. She won this first battle without any suspense.

“Senior Sister Bai!”

Xiao Jinse leaned on the heavy sword and looked at Bai Lian quietly.

Bai Lian opened her mouth slightly. She was just about to praise Xiao Jinse when the system mission suddenly popped up.

[Mission 1: Praise Xiao Jinse’s performance (Mission Reward: Low-grade spiritual weapon, Gale White Silk)]

(Mission 2: Wait calmly, don’t praise, and don’t reprimand (Mission Reward: Foundation Establishment Pill)]

[Mission 3: Point out Xiao Jinse’s shortcomings with a serious expression (Mission reward: Focus+2)]

A few words of praise and she could be rewarded with a low-grade spiritual weapon?

What the hell?

Bai Lian was stunned. Why was it so difficult to raise a junior sister?

If she gained another two or three more junior sisters… Would they fight?

Bai Lian didn’t dare to continue thinking and focused her attention back onto the choices.

After experiencing the Gong Juren challenge, she didn’t dare to challenge these missions with overly exaggerated rewards. The better the reward, the more money she would have to spend. She had plenty of Foundation Establishment Pills, so she might as well take attribute points.

“Junior Sister, have you reflected on yourself?” Bai Lian suddenly said.

“Huh?”

Xiao Jinse was stunned. This reaction was not what she expected.

Bai Lian said with a serious expression, “Your front hand is weak, your backhand is weak, your footsteps are loose, and your reaction is slow! You only defeated an opponent whose cultivation is only two levels lower than yours, and he didn’t even take you seriously. Is this something to be happy about?”

This level of criticism shouldn’t cause hatred in his junior sister, right?

Was she too harsh?

Bai Lian’s expression didn’t change.

Her words were like cold water that poured onto Xiao Jinse.

Xiao Jinse immediately lowered her head in shame.

It had only been a few days since she lived a good life, but she was already arrogant. She had just defeated a newbie whose strength was not considered high, but she actually acted so proud in front of Senior Sister Bai.

How embarrassing!

Xiao Jinse recalled carefully and realized that Senior Sister Bai’s evaluation was not wrong.

She could clearly be better, faster, and stronger!

If it weren’t for Senior Sister Bai reminding her in time, if she encountered a few powerful old foxes in the next battle, she might very well have been easily defeated.

Swords didn’t have eyes. It wasn’t impossible for her to be injured or even die.

Xiao Jinse took a deep breath and apologized sincerely. “Senior Sister Bai, I’ve let you down…”

Bai Lian gently rubbed Xiao Jinse’s hair and sighed. “I’m not the one you should be sorry to. You have to know that you cultivate for yourself, not for me.”

Xiao Jinse gritted her teeth and lowered her head. “I was wrong…”

Bai Lian shook her head again and said, “No, Junior Sister, you’re not the one at fault. Well, of course, it’s not me either. It’s this world.”

Senior Sister Bai never took the blame!

Xiao Jinse raised her head and looked at Bai Lian in surprise. Was this world wrong?

Bai Lian said, “Do you remember what I said back then?”

Xiao Jinse nodded hard.

She would never forget what happened that day in Green Mountain City.

Very good.

Bai Lian smiled in relief. “Go and prepare for the next competition. Your mentality has to be stable. I’ll wait for the day you rely on your own strength to go to Yingzhou Cloud Mountain to regain your face.”

Xiao Jinse really wanted to hug Senior Sister Bai. In the end, she resisted her urge.

In this mortal world, there was a certain someone she needed to catch up to.

“The winner, Xiao Jinse!”
