"you……"
Qin Wanrong was speechless.
What is Zhang Lingfeng's attitude? Does he look down on the Qin family or Qin Qianyu?
If someone outside knew that Zhang Lingfeng had never taken the blood of the demon god, and that he had achieved what he has today entirely through his own efforts, how would others view Qin Qianyu?
A martial arts student from a fourth-tier province who did not need the Qin family's support actually broke Qin Qianyu's swordsmanship and even shattered Qin Qianyu's wooden sword in the last round of the national exam.
If Qin Qianyu's Dantian was not full and his Qi Sea was not complete, perhaps the winner would have belonged to Zhang Lingfeng.
This time when she came to talk to Zhang Lingfeng, Qin Wanrong was condescending from beginning to end. She always believed that Zhang Lingfeng's current situation was closely related to their Qin family.
If the Qin family had not given Zhang Lingfeng the blood of the demon god, how could his combat power value change so drastically in such a short period of time, and he could have perfected the eighth level of Dharma and his combat power value exceeded 15000.0.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng did not take the blood of the demon god at all.
"You look down on the blood of the demon god, don't you? It doesn't matter. My Qin family has plenty of cultivation resources. The blood of the demon god is really nothing in the eyes of my Qin family.
You can tell me what you want, but the premise is that you want to work for the Qin family and become a member of the Qin family."
Qin Wanrong took a deep breath and said.
"Thank you, I don't need anything, I just want to have a good rest."
Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.
"My Qin family has a cultivator who can help you draw the Qi into your body!"
Qin Wanrong reminded.
“I have succeeded.”
Zhang Lingfeng stimulated the cyclone in his abdominal cavity.
"My Qin family can help you condense your Dantian."
Qin Wanrong changed her words.
"If you can draw the Qi into your body, you can condense the Dantian. Thank you very much."
Zhang Lingfeng said helplessly.
"What about nurturing spiritual roots? My brother was born with spiritual roots. If you join the Qin family, you will definitely become a walker in the future, or even a god, or even a Qi refining realm expert!"
Qin Wanrong reminded.
"Then can we not practice?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"what?"
Qin Wanrong didn't react for a moment.
"I mean, the Qin family is so powerful, can I become as powerful as you without practicing? For example, through spiritual medicine or magic, can I directly improve my strength?"
Zhang Lingfeng explained.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. In my Qin family, who's strength is not obtained through practice?
How dare you! You are slandering my Qin family, mocking that my Qin family can only be where they are today because of the cultivation resources, right?"
Qin Wanrong explained patiently, but halfway through her words she suddenly woke up in shock. She was so angry that she released the breath fluctuations of a domain walker, which was like a wall pressing down on Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng stuck to the corner of the wall and felt squeezed in the gap.
His own eight levels of Dharma power were simply unable to withstand the pressure of this force, and he could only release the inner demon realm, and darkness appeared before his eyes.
After seeing this, Qin Wanrong angrily released most of her energy. She felt that she was a little too impatient and actually attacked a martial arts student.
For some reason, when she heard Zhang Lingfeng refused to join the Qin family, she did not turn around and leave, but kept persuading him. Especially after seeing the bottle of demon god's blood, she could not control herself and wanted to take Zhang Lingfeng away directly.
"That's not what I meant. I meant that your Qin family is too aggressive. I can't adapt to your pace."
Zhang Lingfeng explained hurriedly.
"Hmph, don't regret it."
Qin Wanrong turned and left angrily.
This was the first time she encountered someone who dared to refuse the Qin family's solicitation. He really didn't know what was good for him.
"call!"
Zhang Lingfeng heaved a sigh of relief only after seeing Qin Wanrong disappear from his sight. Being oppressed by a Domainer was too suffocating a feeling, and he collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
[You refused to join the Qin family and practiced lying flat to the end, and obtained 32112 points of lying flat value. ]
Suddenly, a line of words appeared before my eyes.
Zhang Lingfeng jumped up on the spot, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is this possible?"
"what happened?"
Ao Da just walked in from outside.
"No."
"Miss Qin seemed very angry when she left?"
"I don't know, maybe someone provoked her?"
"Aren't you the only one in here?"
Ao Dagang looked around the treatment room and couldn't find a third person except him.
"Don't worry about her. The national exam is over. Should we go back to Jiangbei Province first? I want to go back and see my second uncle and his family."
Zhang Lingfeng quickly changed the subject.
"Well, you have three days. After three days, someone will take you to the academy to register. But now you have to go with my boss. Mr. Ku wants to see you."
Ao Dagang nodded.
"Oh."
Zhang Lingfeng's eyes lit up.
Ku Xuanhe once told him that if he could block Qin Qianyu's sword and become a martial arts student in the continental examination, he could become his disciple.
Could it be that after seeing that I broke Qin Qianyu's swordsmanship and almost defeated Qin Qianyu, he lowered his requirements and wanted to accept me as his disciple today?
Looking at the more than 30,000 points of lying flat value that had just appeared, Zhang Lingfeng was so happy that he hurriedly took the airship with King Jiangbei and came to the mansion in Kuxuan River together.
Qin Wanrong and Qin Qianyu also lived in the mansion in Kuxuanhe.
King Jiangbei's airship landed. Qin Qianyu and Qin Wanrong had just walked into their Qin family's airship. Before the hatch was closed, they saw King Jiangbei and Zhang Lingfeng getting off the airship together.
The siblings had mixed feelings.
Qin Qianyu said: "Zhang Lingfeng, see you at the academy."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, Ms. Qin, take care."
Zhang Lingfeng waved hurriedly.
Watching the two siblings disappear into the skyline on the airship.
"He didn't take the demon god's blood?"
On the airship, Qin Qianyu said in surprise.
"He still refuses to join the Qin family?"
Qin Qianyu was stunned.
"He doesn't like practicing and thinks the Qin family is too arrogant?"
Qin Qianyu couldn't sit still and paced back and forth.
"When you get to the academy, you will have another chance to fight. Zhang Lingfeng may seem like he has no ambitions, but he is actually very arrogant. He even disdained to take the demon god blood given to him by the Qin family, and even refused to join the Qin family. You must teach him a lesson."
Qin Wanrong said.
"With his talent and ability, he should be one of the candidates for this state exam."
Qin Qianyu said solemnly.
"As long as he can win glory for the Great Xia Nation, it's a good thing. Regardless of whether he can participate in the continental exam, you must make him understand how powerful the Qin family is and how many resources they can provide him."
Qin Wanrong reminded.
"Sister, do you still want Zhang Lingfeng to become a member of the Qin family?"
Qin Qianyu saw the clue.
"Only the Qin family can reject others. No one can reject the Qin family. Wait until Zhang Lingfeng enters the Qin family, and then drive him out."
Qin Wanrong said angrily.
"It's a bit overbearing to do this. No matter what, Zhang Lingfeng is a talent. Although he has a bit of a weird temper, I still admire him."
Qin Qianyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Qin Wanrong would be unreasonable once she got angry. It seemed that Qin Wanrong was very angry with Zhang Lingfeng.
It was rare for someone to make his sister so angry. Qin Qianyu liked Zhang Lingfeng more and more in his heart. At the same time, after learning that Zhang Lingfeng had not taken the Qin family's demon god blood, he also regarded Zhang Lingfeng as an opponent of the same level.
He was even full of admiration and respect for Zhang Lingfeng.
No matter what, he was born in the Qin family, and was born with spiritual roots, so he didn't have to worry about cultivation resources since he was a child. Zhang Lingfeng was born in a poor family and grew up in a fourth-tier province, where resources were scarce and conditions were harsh. He was able to achieve what he has today only because of his extraordinary cultivation talent. Just based on this, Qin Qianyu recognized Zhang Lingfeng very much.
As for the fact that Zhang Lingfeng did not want to join the Qin family, Qin Qianyu thought there was no need to rush. He felt that it was because Zhang Lingfeng did not know enough about the Qin family. After entering the academy, he would slowly understand and might even come to him and ask to join the Qin family immediately.
"It's best to just admire him and not be jealous of him just because he's better than you."
Qin Wanrong reminded.
After learning that Zhang Lingfeng had not taken the blood of the demon god, she always felt that Zhang Lingfeng's talent and potential for cultivation might surpass her brother.
She had to admit that it was not easy for Zhang Lingfeng to be where he is today. She hoped that Zhang Lingfeng could make great contributions to the Great Xia Kingdom and mankind.
But she still felt more or less uncomfortable when a child from a poor family surpassed the Qin family's direct descendants in strength and talent. What's more, this guy didn't give her any face at all and seemed to look down on the Qin family.
"Sister, you worry too much."
Qin Qianyu looked confident. "Although I didn't get any response from Zhang Lingfeng to awaken his spiritual roots, it's not completely fruitless this time. I have a feeling that in no more than two months, I will be able to successfully awaken my spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots will be at least of the upper grade."
"Oh, this is more like a Qin family member."
Qin Wanrong was overjoyed.
"There are many geniuses in the academy. You defeated Wen Duoduo with one sword. You were too sharp. In the national exam, your swordsmanship was broken by Zhang Lingfeng. Outsiders thought that the academy's training of Wen Duoduo was just so-so. There has been a small-scale commotion. This time when you enter the academy to practice, you must be more restrained and don't provoke those people."
Qin Wanrong reminded again.
"I understand. If they have the ability, they can join me in the continental exam this time to win glory for the Great Xia Nation."
Qin Qianyu said nonchalantly.
"What their family has done for the Great Xia Kingdom and mankind is no less than what our Qin family has done. You'd better remember what I said, understand?"
Qin Wanrong said with emphasis.
"understood."
Qin Qianyu said helplessly.
In addition to the Qin family, the Great Xia Kingdom also has Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, the four major spiritual families, who guard various border fortresses.
For a long time, the cultivation resources enjoyed by the children of the four major families of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li are no inferior to those of the Qin family. There have also been talented children who defeated the geniuses of the Qin family.
Over the years, although everyone seemed to be united against the outside world, there were actually various overt and covert struggles behind the scenes, some for the purpose of promoting growth, some for the sake of interests and resource subsidies, and so on.
Qin Qianyu knew who those people Qin Wanrong was talking about, and he also knew who his opponent was.
The national examination was just a stepping stone for him to take the state examination. He had never expected to gain anything from it. Zhang Lingfeng was an exception, and that was all.
……
"Mr. Bitter."
King Jiangbei brought Zhang Lingfeng to the Kuxuan River.
"You have received the spiritual root medicine that the alliance gave you."
Ku Xuanhe asked.
"I received it two days ago."
King Jiangbei said truthfully.
"There is a spiritual stone on the table. Take it back with you. When you take the spiritual liquid, hold it in your mouth. It will help the spiritual roots grow."
Bitter hanging river.
"Thank you, Mr. Ku."
King Jiangbei was overjoyed as he saw a thin piece of spirit stone fragment that looked like a Poria cocos cake on the table.
He put it away carefully, looked at Zhang Lingfeng with envy, and then took the initiative to retreat.
The King of Jiangbei knew that the reason why Ku Xuanhe rewarded him with a spirit stone was probably related to Zhang Lingfeng's outstanding performance. In Ku Xuanhe's opinion, the future of Jiangbei Province was destined to change.
"Miss Qin said that you didn't take the demon god's blood."
Kuxuanhe asked.
"Well, the favor is too great, I dare not drink it."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded.
"Then why did you refuse to join the Qin family?"
Ku Xuanhe asked again.
"I am just a martial arts student from a fourth-tier province. I just managed to achieve some results by chance in the national exam. I don't dare to dream of becoming a member of the Qin family."
Zhang Lingfeng explained.
"It seems that you are quite ambitious."
Ku Xuanhe laughed.
"You misunderstood."
Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.
Ku Xuanhe said with a half-smile, "You refuse to join the Qin family now, simply because you feel that the Qin family doesn't give you enough. You think you can get good grades in the academy, become a representative for the continental exam, and even create miracles again in the continental exam. You use this as a bargaining chip to let the Qin family give you more resource subsidies, so that you can enjoy the same treatment as the Qin family's children."
“I never thought of it that way.”
Zhang Lingfeng shook his head again and refused to join the Qin family, purely for the sake of lying low.
"The Qin family has a cultivation manual, and Qin Cangqiong's cultivation is close to the foundation-building stage. It is reasonable for you to have such thoughts, and there is no need to explain."
Kuxuanhe gets straight to the point.
Zhang Lingfeng was speechless and could only nod and let it go.
"Although you have achieved good results in the national exam, you cannot directly represent Daxia and participate in the continental exam. Even Qin Qianyu will have to go through a series of assessments later.
The state exam is different from the national exam.
The national examination is a competition among the seventy-three provinces of the Great Xia Kingdom. No matter who achieves good results, the overall resources are under the control of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The continental exam is a competition between Daxia and other countries to grab resources from the Seven Star Alliance. This is related to Daxia's development in the coming year. Therefore, every candidate for the continental exam is carefully selected and tempered. Even the Qin family cannot guarantee that someone from their family will represent Daxia every year. "
Ku Xuanhe reminded.
"Aren't the students for the continental martial arts exam selected from the students for the national martial arts exam?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked rhetorically.
"Of course, but it's not absolute. In short, Daxia will not pin its hopes on a martial arts student, especially those who have participated in public competitions. Their relevant data has long been captured by various countries. If all such people participate in the continental exam, it is easy to cause trouble."
Bitter hanging river.
"Are those other people in the academy?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"Yes, I called you here this time to talk to you about the academy and explain to you in detail how you can participate in the continental exam and contribute to the Great Xia Kingdom."
Ku Xuanhe nodded.
"This...if we can't participate, then forget it, as long as someone can bring glory to the Great Xia Nation."
Zhang Lingfeng looked indifferent.
"You don't want to become my disciple?"
Ku Xuanhe asked.
Zhang Lingfeng's eyes widened.
What does this mean?
If I take part in the continental exam, will you accept me as your apprentice?
"It is my honor to be appreciated by you. To be honest, from the moment I saw you, I felt a kind aura from you that made me want to get close to you and follow you.
The reason why I am unwilling to take the demon god blood given by the Qin family is also related to your existence. "
Zhang Lingfeng said while trying hard to suppress his smile.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Ku Xuanhe couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhang Lingfeng's reaction made him very satisfied. He couldn't help but pat Zhang Lingfeng on the shoulder and said, "First-tier provinces are just like fourth-tier provinces. They are all trying every means to compete for various rare resources. I have already talked to Zhao Kuo. As long as Jiangbei Province becomes a third-tier province, Guanghai Province will be Jiangbei Province's backer in the future. The premise is that you have to be promising enough."
"I understand. I will definitely not let you down."
Zhang Lingfeng said excitedly.
He looked at Ku Xuanhe eagerly, hoping that he would make the next move, but Ku Xuanhe quickly changed the subject and said, "In addition to the Qin family, there are four other families in the Great Xia Kingdom: Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li. Qin Qianyu can directly advance to the final round, but this time, the children of the four families can be exempted from all assessments and enter the academy as martial arts students to practice and compete with you for the continental exam quota."
"Ah? Are they more powerful than the Qin family?"
Zhang Lingfeng was stunned.
“Not really, it’s just that the four great cultivation families of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li discovered a spiritual spring a few years ago and cultivated many talents for the Great Xia Kingdom. Qin Qianyu was born with spiritual roots, mainly because both his parents are powerful cultivators, and his family has the blessing of cultivation formations, etc.
Although the spiritual spring cannot directly allow people to have spiritual roots, it can help many people breed spiritual roots and be used to refine spiritual root medicine. Therefore, the children of the four families of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li can enter the academy to practice without taking the national exam. And they have the priority to become martial arts students in the continental exam. This is a benefit given by the Great Xia Kingdom and is also recognized by the Seven Star System Alliance. "
Ku Xuanhe said patiently.
"Spiritual spring, spiritual root liquid, that's a real treasure."
Zhang Lingfeng was amazed. It was really unexpected that a spiritual spring could be born in this place where supplies were scarce.
"The Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li families are not as good as the Qin family in terms of cultivation techniques, but relying on the spiritual spring resources, they have been able to produce several outstanding children every year in recent years, including characters like Qin Qianyu. To be honest, you have the possibility to participate in the continental examination, but it should be the next session, or the session after that. In short, when you go to the academy to practice, you must be wholeheartedly. As long as you can get good results, I will give you an opportunity."
Ku Xuanhe said solemnly.
"Yes."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded.
He was then sent away, and it felt like he had not heard anything. Apart from knowing about the four major families of cultivators, Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li, he did not seem to get any more important information from Ku Xuanhe.
After a while, he was sent back to the inn by airship and would return to Jiangbei Province tonight.
After Zhang Lingfeng left.
Another airship landed at the Kuxuan River Mansion.
Liuchuan looked confused and was brought to Kuxuan River by the relevant person in charge.
“Although you are only a third-tier martial arts student, you ranked among the top in this national examination and are one of the most outstanding candidates.
Compared to Zhang Lingfeng, you are more mature and stable. If you can achieve good results in the academy, I can give you an opportunity."
Ku Xuanhe said solemnly.
"boom!"
Liu Chuan knelt down and kowtowed: "You are my second parents, I am willing to follow your lead."
