Chapter 13: Competition of Green Cloud Peak’s Four Great Servant Quarters
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without a doubt, Chen Jie had lost. Moreover, he had lost very thoroughly. On the contrary, it showed how unfathomable Qi Ming’s strength was, making Qi Ming almost become the number one person in the D-Class Servant Quarters.
It was almost evening.
The competition of the D-Class Servant Quarters ended.
During the competition, there were no dark horses that appeared. The ten servant disciples who represented the D-Class Servant Quarters were all selected, and they were the top ten on the Advancement Ranking.
Qi Ming and Feiyun were also chosen.
However…
The next day, the screening competition of the four servant quarters would be carried out. The names of the 30 servant disciples representing them were announced.
Qi Ming did not pay much attention to it.
On the other hand, Ye Dun and Zhu Xiaoxian spent a lot of effort to ask Qi Ming about the situation of the 30 servant disciples of the three great servant quarters.
At night.
“Boss.”
Zhu Xiaoxian walked over with a mysterious expression and said, “Do you know that the four great servant quarters have those servant disciples with extraordinary strength?”
“You dare to keep Boss in suspense? Do you want to die?”
Zhang Qing shouted, “Hurry up and tell Boss what you’ve found out.”
“He’s wasting time.” Hu Gang said, “Let me explain.”
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.” He Ping shouted.
“Ye Dun.” Qi Ming said, “Tell me.”
“Okay.” Ye Dun seemed to be a little distracted. After hearing Qi Ming’s words, he returned to his senses and organized his thoughts. He said, “In fact, among the four great servant quarters, Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation is already the highest.”
“However, three have reached the fourth level Qi Refinement realm.”
“They’re respectively Cao Yunhai of the A-Class, Zhu Youde of B-Class, and Tang Bing of C-Class. Moreover, all of them are very strong.”
“Cao Yunhai has a very powerful elder brother in the outer sect. I heard that he’s about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm and has a chance of entering the inner sect in the next few years.” historical
“Other than that, there are also many servant disciples with backgrounds.”
“Got it.” Qi Ming nodded.

“What reward?” Qi Ming’s interest was piqued.
“The first place will be rewarded with 100 low-grade spirit stones, a low-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure, and a Qi Refinement realm spell technique. The second place will be rewarded with 50 low-grade spirit stones, a Qi Refinement realm spell technique, and the third place will only be rewarded with 30 low-grade spirit stones.” Zhu Xiaoxian replied.
“That’s all?” Qi Ming said.
“Yes.” Zhu Xiaoxian nodded and said enviously, “The reward is really too generous. The first place can directly obtain a hundred low-grade spirit stones.”
“…”
Qi Ming shook his head.
His horizons had really determined his expectations.
Honestly, the reward for the competition.
Apart from a hundred low-grade spirit stones that could catch Qi Ming’s attention, the remaining low-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure and low-grade Qi Refinement realm spell were not worth Qi Ming’s attention.
This was because spirit stones could increase his cultivation speed.
So, Qi Ming did not mind the number of spirit stones.
Any number was useful to him.
Still, on second thought, although he did not fancy low-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasures and low-grade Qi Refinement realm spell techniques, he could find an opportunity to sell them and exchange them for spirit stones.
This deal was not a loss.
He set a small target.
He would win the competition of Green Cloud Peak’s four great servant quarters.
“Wait, isn’t it the Outer Sect Assessment? Why has it become the competition of Green Cloud Peak’s four great servant quarters?” Qi Ming asked.
“This was picked by us servant disciples. It’s mainly for the sake of sounding better and more domineering.” Zhu Xiaoxian answered.
Late at night.
Swish!
Qi Ming checked his current status.
...
Host: Qi Ming.
Level: Early-stage fifth level Qi Refinement realm.
Cultivation Method: Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art.
Spells: Green Cloud Sword Technique (Perfection), Heavenly Eagle Claw (Beginner), Nine Steps of Spirit Illusion (Outstanding)
Treasures: Skeleton Sword, Skeleton Robe, Heavenly Silk Gloves, Giant Lizard Shield, Giant Lizard Boots.
Item: One Blood Fiend Ghost Talisman, one Blood Fiend Evil Ghost Talisman, refinement method for the Blood Fiend Banner, one Blood Spirit Pill, one Detoxification Pill, fifty low-grade spirit stones.
Spirit Pet: Bat Demon (Growth)
...
Regardless of the grade of the spell technique, in terms of mastery, from low to high, it was divided into four levels: Beginner, Mastered, Outstanding, and Perfection. Qi Ming had already raised the ‘Green Cloud Sword Technique’ to the highest level, Perfection.
It could be said that…
He had already vaguely grasped a trace of the Green Cloud Sword Intent.
The Nine Spirit Illusion Steps had also reached the level of Outstanding.
Of course, the Heavenly Eagle Claw was much weaker. It basically did not improve much because Qi Ming did not cultivate the Heavenly Eagle Claw. Instead, he temporarily ignored it.
Also…
There were also different grades of spells.
Moreover, it was greatly related to the cultivation realm.
These were Qi Refinement realm spell techniques.
From low to high, there were four grades: low, medium, high, and top.
Although the Green Cloud Sword Technique was the basic spell technique of the ‘Green Cloud Peak’, it was a high-grade Qi Refinement realm technique. The ‘Nine Spirit Illusion Steps’ was even a top-grade Qi Refinement realm spell technique.
The Heavenly Eagle Claw was much weaker. It was only at the medium-grade.
Therefore…
The Heaven Enlightenment Sect was indeed worthy of being one of the three major sects of the Southern Region. Even if it was only a servant disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, the spell techniques used to establish the base during the Qi Refinement realm were all at the upper level.
However, many cultivation families and other cultivation sects were far inferior to the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Perhaps they used the low-grade Qi Refinement realm spell techniques to establish their base. The slightly better ones cultivated the mid-grade Qi Refinement realm spell techniques.
The night passed.
The next day, in the morning.
Qi Ming finished his breakfast in the canteen.
The 40 servant disciples who had been selected by the four great servant quarters were all present. The 12 elders and Mu Qing, the First Elder, were all present.
They gathered in the square at the foot of the mountain again.
A competition stage was set up.
5,000 to 6,000 servant disciples swarmed over. They stood on high seats and looked down. They could see a small crowd, and it was slightly crowded.
“It’s starting, it’s starting.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, when Qi Ming heard this voice, he looked over and saw that not far away, there was a chubby disciple with a friendly expression setting up a ‘betting station’ outside the arena.
Moreover…
Many servant disciples had already gathered around.
The fat disciple coughed lightly and said, “Fellow disciples, today, I, Pang San, will set a bet and welcome everyone to join. I definitely won’t let everyone suffer a loss.”
“Junior Brother Qi.”
When this fat disciple called ‘Pang San’ saw Qi Ming, he immediately waved at him and shouted.
“Senior Brother Pang.”
Qi Ming walked over and cupped his hands in greeting.
Clearly.
This Pang San was not a servant disciple, but an outer sect disciple of the Green Cloud Peak. He had specially come here to set up a bet. His goal was very simple, it was to earn spirit stones.
“What’s the payout?” Qi Ming asked.
“Junior Brother Qi, take a look.”
Pang San gestured, “I’ve specially chosen ten popular contestants for all of you. There’s a very high chance of winning the championship. Cao Yunhai, Xiao Fan, Zhu Youde, Tang Bing, Qiao Yuxian, and of course, Junior Brother Qi.”
“The odds for Xiao Fan becoming the champion are 1 to 13. The odds for second place are 1 to 5, and so on. The lower the ranking, the lower the odds.”
“The odds of Cao Yunhai winning the championship are 1 to 3. The odds for second place are 1 to 10, and so on. The lower the ranking, the higher the payout.”
“Senior Brother Pang.” Qi Ming smiled and took out the only spirit stones he had, “I’m betting these 50 low-grade spirit stones on myself.”
“Really?” Pang San was stunned for a moment. “Junior Brother Qi, although your cultivation level is at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm, your strength is not only related to your cultivation level, but also the spells and treasures you have.”
“Therefore, the payout of you winning is 1 to 10.”
“Not bad.” Qi Ming’s smile widened. He took out an item, a Blood Spirit Pill and a Blood Demon Ghost Talisman. He asked, “Senior Brother Pang, how much are these two items worth?”
“A hundred low-grade spirit stones.” Pang San also had a smile on his face. “Junior Brother Qi, although the grade and appearance of this pill and talisman are not bad, they are only consumables. The price is not low, they are worth a hundred low-grade spirit stones here.”
“Okay.” Qi Ming put down the Blood Spirit Pill and the Blood Fiend Ghost Talisman and said, “Then bet them all on me.”
“Great.”
Pang San reached out to receive it.
“Senior Brother Pang, you won’t go back on your words later, right?” Qi Ming asked.
“Hahaha…”
Pang San laughed loudly. “You can ask around in the entire Green Cloud Peak. I, Pang San, have never gone back on my word.”
“Then I’m relieved.” Qi Ming nodded and received the betting ticket from Pang San.
“Senior Brother Pang.”
At this moment, a loud voice sounded from behind Qi Ming. As he walked, Qi Ming felt the ground tremble slightly, “A hundred low-grade spirit stones.. I’ll bet on myself winning the championship.”
