Ye Qiu finally felt much more relieved after hearing his words. In fact, he had already guessed Xiao Zhan’s intentions from the beginning. He wanted to use his deterrence to make Xiao Yi correct his previous profligate behavior. At the same time, he could cultivate diligently under this pressure.
Of course, this was only one of the deeper meanings. Perhaps he wanted Ye Qiu to take him in as a disciple and let him enter Violet Cloud Peak.
Things like this happened in the Seven Peaks. In the mortal world, many descendants had acknowledged the various peak masters as their masters to establish a good relationship.
Ye Qiu had the same intention, but he felt that the time wasn’t right yet, so he didn’t accept it.
What kind of timing does he need to take in a disciple? Ye Qiu couldn’t say. It might be a knot in his heart. Previously, he lacked consideration in many aspects when he didn’t have a disciple.
Now that he had a disciple, his requirements for future disciples would definitely be stricter. The most important thing was to test his disciple’s character and see if he was worth teaching.
Ye Qiu was good at winning people over with kindness. It would be best if he could make him submit completely.
“Alright, let’s go back!” Ye Qiu calmly returned and left the martial arts arena to return to Violet Cloud Peak.
There were still many things waiting for Ye Qiu after the Seven Peaks Martial Meeting ended. For example, the strange crack in the depths of the uninhabited region or the ancient Monarch’s tomb hidden in the depths of the uninhabited region. As well as the old turtle that was carrying a coffin that Xiao Yi mentioned earlier.
“Hmm, forget it. I’ll wait and see first.” Ye Qiu decided to put it aside for now after thinking about it seriously.
The group returned to Violet Cloud Peak and the place became peaceful.
On the north mountain, the renovation of the training hall was almost completed.
As soon as he returned to Violet Cloud Peak, Xiao Yi went to the north mountain alone to continue supervising.
Zhao Wan’er said that she was exhausted as soon as she returned to Violet Cloud Peak and found an excuse to go back and rest. Perhaps she also felt the gap between her and Lin Qingzhu and wanted to absorb that precious bone as soon as possible to catch up to Lin Qingzhu.
In the training hall, Ye Qiu sorted out the rewards obtained from this Martial Meeting. He took out the Enlightenment Fruit from his storage jade.
With a smile, he looked at Lin Qingzhu below and said, “Disciple, your current cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the Celestial realm. Coincidentally… this Enlightenment Fruit can help you comprehend the laws and break through to Infinite Distance.”
After weighing it in his hand, Ye Qiu threw it to Lin Qingzhu and continued, “In this Martial Meeting, you have made a great contribution to my Violet Cloud Peak. This thing should belong to you.”
Lin Qingzhu was stunned. She looked at the Enlightenment Fruit in her hand and was at a loss. Ye Qiu actually gave her the Enlightenment Fruit?
She was speechless for a moment. Wasn’t the reason why she was so desperate because she saw that Ye Qiu was interested in the Enlightenment Fruit? Why did her master not want it and give it to her instead?
She was indeed stuck at level nine of Celestial realm and could not break through. However, she firmly believed that if she was given a little more time, she would definitely be able to break through to Infinite Distance.
But now, in order for her to quickly advance to the Infinite Distance realm, her master actually resisted the temptation of the Enlightenment Fruit and gave it to her.
Lin Qingzhu was touched. She was conflicted for a long time before she finally made a decision that went against her master’s wishes.
“Master, I can’t accept this Enlightenment Fruit. Master, you’ve already treated me well enough. I’m grateful. This Martial Meeting is the only way I can repay you. The Enlightenment Fruit is also extremely helpful to Master’s cultivation. How can I let Master bear the pain of giving it up?”
Lin Qingzhu shook her head with a flustered expression. She wouldn’t want this Enlightenment Fruit. Even though it was extremely helpful to her and could allow her to break through the Infinite Distance in the shortest time possible. She still couldn’t accept it, because this thing was clearly more beneficial to her master.
Ye Qiu looked at her quietly, feeling relieved.
Sigh… I didn’t teach this disciple for nothing. She knows how to feel sorry for me. What a considerate little girl. However, how would I get the benefits if you don’t want it?
That would not do.
Ye Qiu’s face stiffened and he pretended to be serious. “I told you to accept it, so you should accept it. Are you not listening to me?”
Lin Qingzhu was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Ye Qiu so strict.
Ye Qiu’s expression changed again and he said gently, “Although this Enlightenment Fruit is a supreme-grade spirit medicine, it’s not very useful to me. Disciple, I have always been at ease with you. I look forward to the future when you can make our Violet Cloud Peak famous and shake the Great Desolate World. You can’t disappoint me.”
These touching words made Lin Qing’s eyes tear up. Her master was still the same master who treated her as his own and loved her. However, she really did not want her master to waste any more treasures for her.
Ever since she entered the sect, she had received enough favors to the point that everyone shed envious tears. She was already very satisfied.
However, looking at Ye Qiu’s determined gaze, she knew that if she didn’t accept this Enlightenment Fruit today, her master would definitely be very sad. That sadness and pain came from her ruthless rejection. It was also the doubt of his own ability and the remorse of not being able to give anything to his disciple.
Lin Qingzhu trembled when she saw that gaze. She bit her lower lip and said with affection in her eyes, “Alright, Master. I’ll accept it.”
Ye Qiu finally heaved a sigh of relief when she was finally willing to accept the Enlightenment Fruit.
“Sigh… It’s getting harder and harder to fleece now. This tested my acting skills. Fortunately, I ran a few minor roles back then and learned acting for a few years.” Ye Qiu sighed in his heart, but the ending was still perfect.
After a while, Ye Qiu continued, “Okay… Go back and rest first. It’s just nice. Take this time to cultivate in seclusion and strive to break through the Infinite Distance as soon as possible.”
Lin Qingzhu nodded and walked out of the training hall reluctantly, returning to her room.
After she left, Ye Qiu’s expressionless face gradually revealed an evil smile.
“System…”
[Ding! You have given your disciple a supreme-grade treasure, Flying Flower Needle. You have triggered a Critical Hit Return.]
[Ding! You have given your disciple a supreme-grade spirit fruit, triggering a critical strike.]
[Activate?]
Was it finally here?
Ye Qiu had been waiting for this moment since the first day of the Martial Meeting.
“Activate.”
[Congratulations, you have triggered ten thousand times critical strike and obtained the Connate numinous treasure, Storm Pear Blossom Needle.]
[Congratulations, you have triggered ten thousand times critical strike and obtained one Connate Supreme Dao Fruit.]
“F*ck… Good, good. This wave of wool is worth it.”
Ye Qiu was instantly amused when he heard the reward. His touching performance just now wasn’t in vain.
[A Connate numinous treasure is nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It belongs to a Dharma treasure other than the immortal grade. In terms of power, it is not inferior to immortal artifacts.]
Ye Qiu was excited after reading the description of the Storm Pear Blossom Needles.
After the Cloudy Heavens Immortal Sword, he obtained a Connate numinous treasure that was not inferior to the Immortal Sword.
The Connate Extreme Dao Fruit was also nurtured by Connate Qi and was not inferior to immortal fruits.
The only flaw was that it did not have immortal energy like immortal fruits.
However, this Connate Qi was also very pure. It could help him break through his shackles and reach the legendary Paragon realm.
