“If I’m correct, what he did was compress his qi, and send it over to Zhang Naipao as he absorbed it- he wasn’t able to adapt to such a sudden burst of energy, and so it exploded in his meridians!” The sect master analyzed.
“This is the same as drinking water- drink one gulp at a time, and your body can handle it, but drinking an entire jug in one go will hurt you.”
“Oh? Wouldn’t that take a lot of qi?” Qing said, surprised at the explanation.
“In theory, it does take a lot- this is the same as losing your strength to take on an enemy!” The sect master paused, a little confused. “But this person is a bit special- Aunt Qing, didn’t Li say this before? He said that Ling Yi had lost all his strength to him, and had become a cripple- but in one night, not only did he regain all his strength, he even broke through!”
“It looks like freelancers have a lot of interesting abilities as well!” Aunt Qing sighed. “Unfortunately, he is a boy- he won’t be able to enter the core of the Ice Palace!”
The fact that the Ice Palace didn’t accept men was a rule for a long time- it just wasn’t made public, but anyone of the core group in the Ice Palace understood this! The inner sect was made of only women, and the way a boy would enter was because the heir to the sect had appeared. It was so that the next generation could be born to keep the Ice Palace going. These years, however, not one heiress had made an appearance, and so no men had appeared!
All those people chasing after the position of the outer disciple of the Ice Palace were only seen as outer disciples that were practitioning there- no matter how amazing they were, they weren’t allowed into the core of the sect!
The inn owner Li, for example, had an amazing ability himself, and was rather strong- yet, despite all the years that had passed, he was just a simple disciple that watched the gates of the sect. He never entered the Ice Palace’s inner world.
“The Ice Palace doesn’t’ need to try and attract outsiders in the first place.” The sect master shook her head- evidently, Lin Yi was still not enough to enter her interest. She was simply a little curious.
“You’re right! But, sect master- what do you think that girl Ling Yi carries is?” Qing and the sect master may be master and servant, but she raised the sect master since a young age after her Shifu passed. She was more like an aunt!
The two didn’t bother with formalities- Qing wouldn’t be too formal with her, and the sect master would call her Aunt Qing! She’d done so since young, and continued to do so after becoming the sect master!
And because of the sect master’s strength, even the elders were all respectful towards her. The strength level of someone was always the determining factor when it came to ancient sects after all- and the sect master’s strength was there. Nobody would defy her!
“I’m not sure, but it seems like she’s dying soon. I didn’t pay too much attention.” The sect master said. “Maybe he’s entering the test to get the exchange right so he can cure this friend of hers!”
“Perhaps so…” Qing nodded.
Just as the two were talking about Lin Yi, Lin Yi felt as if he was being watched- it wasn’t as if he sensed anything, but it was more like a natural-born sixth sense!
Lin Yi closed his eyes and entered the jade space immediately- because of the sensory abilities of the jade, he wanted to see just who was watching him! These people didn’t have any hostile intent, and the jade wasn’t reacting- so he knew at least that much.
But, what disappointed him was the fact that he could only guess that these people were near the top of the mountain- he couldn’t see clearly who they were!
Lin Yi subconsciously raised his head at the top of the mountain- that was where the Ice Palace was. Could it be that people from there were monitoring them? It was probably so.
Thinking about that, he left it alone. It was normal for them to monitor the participants.
Qing couldn’t help but pause in response. “Did he see us watching him?”
“That can’t be- we’re Sky class practitioners, and lower-level practitioners shouldn’t be able to sense us if we don’t use our practitioner’s arts. Unless this person has a strong natural born sixth sense or received some special training!” The sect master shook her head.
“Perhaps freelancers are better at sensing things- their survival abilities are naturally better than those people who came out of sects or houses,” Qing said.
“That Yang Qiqi, however, is rather average- this level of freelancing… How did she even survive this long?” The sect master said simply. Because she was a girl, the sect master paid a little more attention…to her disappointment.
“Yes- it looks like we’ll need to have stronger rules to specify that girls should enter. Otherwise, the families and sects only send boys!” Qing nodded.
Enemies would always bump into each other, and Lin Yi and Yu Bing were facing that situation right now!
They were following the pig while looking for the next treasure, and they just happened to see Nitian and Yu Shan together try to take another team’s loot!
“If you don’t want to get crippled, take out all your stuff!” Yu Shan said as he looked at the team tyrannically. “You guys know how insane Nitian Bro’s powers are. If you want to resist, you’d better get ready to become cripples!”
The group had just found a three hundred year snow lotus, and there had been a white bear protecting it- they had used so much qi and effort to defeat it! These people just had to come out right at that moment!
Naturally, they’d heard of what kind of person Nitain was- there was no way they’d resist them! They weren’t Zhang Naipao or Ling Yi!
All they could do was submit!
