After Liu Daoyuan and the other two had finished their discussion, they left.
Jian Jiu returned to the Nine Peaks.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he sensed that Li Qinghai was cultivating inside his room, so he walked over.
As long as it wasn''t a breakthrough in cultivation, normal breathing exercises wouldn''t risk any deviation from the path due to interruptions.
Li Qinghai sensed someone entering the room and stopped cultivating, opening his eyes.
Jian Jiu approached the bed and spoke first.
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"In three months, there will be a ''Dao Inquiry True Transmission'' duel. According to the rules, you need to challenge a mid-Foundation Establishment disciple with your early Foundation Establishment level. Prepare well and try to enhance your strength as much as possible."
An early Foundation Establishment challenging a mid-Foundation Establishment?
They''re really treating me like a prodigy...
But I''m just a cultivator with mixed spiritual roots, my talent is extremely poor.
How am I supposed to fight?
Li Qinghai was quite speechless.
However, in such matters, he had no say.
He could only respond with a hint of helplessness.
"Alright, I will work hard on my cultivation..."
Jian Jiu was slightly surprised, "Aren''t you curious about why there''s this ''Dao Inquiry True Transmission'' duel?"
"As an outer disciple who became a true disciple, it''s inevitable that some will be envious. This so-called ''Dao Inquiry True Transmission'' is also to convince other disciples in the sect." Li Qinghai replied.
Jian Jiu nodded slowly, "You see things clearly. Since you understand, I won''t say more. Focus on your cultivation."
With that, Jian Jiu left the wooden house.
As for the other matter, the test of character, Jian Jiu kept his promise to Sun Xing and didn''t tell Li Qinghai.
Of course, in Jian Jiu''s mind, there was no need to remind him of such a test.
After Jian Jiu left, Li Qinghai pondered silently.

With his talent, trying to win a duel against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator would certainly be challenging.
To enhance his strength, he needed to cultivate more powerful spells to bridge the gap in strength due to the difference in cultivation level.
The spells he currently knew were the Azure Cloud Sword Technique and the True Flame Technique of Samadhi.
Both of these spells had great potential, and after reaching Foundation Establishment, there were new techniques to learn.
For instance, the Sword Drawing Technique, once at Foundation Establishment, could accelerate the infusion of spiritual energy, enhancing the power of the hidden sword.
Similarly, the True Flame Technique of Samadhi, upon reaching Foundation Establishment, could transform internal fire into earth fire, resulting in a qualitative leap in power.
Overall, everything depended on reaching Foundation Establishment first.
In the past, achieving Foundation Establishment would have been difficult, taking at least a month.
But now, after the duels in the Outer Sect Competition, his dantian had expanded significantly.
Moreover, with the abundant spiritual energy of the Nine Peaks and the support of elixirs, breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Refining today was entirely feasible.
Cultivate, cultivate!
Li Qinghai no longer hesitated, took out several Qi Gathering Elixirs from his storage bag, swallowed them, and immediately began his breathing exercises.
Meanwhile, in Ye Feng''s cave residence.
While cultivating, Ye Feng heard a voice from outside the cave.
"Is Junior Brother Ye here?"
Ye Feng opened the cave door.
Immediately, a man with a decent appearance entered the cave.
Ye Feng, being polite to this man, stood up to greet him.
"Senior Brother Wu Shan, please have a seat."
Ye Feng, as Ye Fan''s cousin, usually didn''t regard ordinary cultivators highly.
Now, being so courteous to this male cultivator was naturally because Wu Shan had some background.
Wu Shan''s father was the second-in-command in the Hall of Affairs, one of the elders.
And Wu Shan himself worked in the Law Enforcement Hall as an enforcer, holding a minor position.
The reason Wu Shan wasn''t in the Hall of Affairs but rather in the Law Enforcement Hall was to avoid suspicion.
However, many knew that Wu Shan''s success in the Law Enforcement Hall was still closely tied to having a good father.
Therefore, Ye Feng dared not neglect Wu Shan.
Wu Shan slowly sat down by a stone table.
Ye Feng poured a cup of spiritual tea for Wu Shan and asked.
"Senior Brother Wu Shan, what''s the result of Li Qinghai becoming a true disciple?"
"After you sent me a message, I reported it. Since it concerns the peak master''s true disciple, Elder Sun personally intervened."
At this point, Wu Shan paused, took a sip of spiritual tea, and continued.
"Not long ago, Elder Sun returned and explained the outcome. The Hall of Affairs will host a ''Dao Inquiry True Transmission'' to determine if this true disciple is qualified."
Ye Feng frowned.
He was clearly not satisfied with this outcome.
The Dao Inquiry True Transmission, in essence, was just a duel with Li Qinghai, wasn''t it?
He had witnessed Li Qinghai''s dueling skills, and this was no different from not dealing with it at all.
"Senior Brother Wu Shan, you might not know, but Li Qinghai has mastered a sword technique that is quite formidable, unmatched among Qi Refining disciples."
Wu Shan glanced at Ye Feng, "Who said it''s a Qi Refining duel? It''s for when Li Qinghai reaches early Foundation Establishment, then duels with a mid-Foundation Establishment disciple. This way, we can see if Li Qinghai is truly qualified to be a true disciple."
Ye Feng''s eyes lit up, his breathing slightly quickened, "Senior Brother Wu Shan, can any mid-Foundation Establishment disciple participate?"
Wu Shan nodded, "In theory, anyone dissatisfied with Li Qinghai being a true disciple can sign up to challenge, and the Hall of Affairs will select one person."
Wu Shan naturally saw through Ye Feng''s intentions and added.
"What? You want to participate?"
Ye Feng smiled confidently, "In terms of magical treasures and techniques, no mid-Foundation Establishment disciple in the sect is my match. If I personally take action, I can easily eliminate Li Qinghai."
Wu Shan was a bit curious, "I really want to see this Nine Peaks true disciple who''s caused such a stir in the sect. To see why you despise him so much."
Ye Feng gritted his teeth, "That meddlesome kid has embarrassed me quite a bit. If I don''t kill him, I won''t find peace."
Wu Shan didn''t want to listen to Ye Feng''s complaints and stood up directly, "Alright, I should be going."
Ye Feng forced a smile and handed a storage bag to Wu Shan, "Senior Brother Wu Shan, take care."
Wu Shan nodded slightly, satisfied with Ye Feng''s attitude, and didn''t mind helping Ye Feng a bit more.
"Feel free to sign up, and you''ll be allowed to participate in the ''Dao Inquiry True Transmission.'' Whether you can kill that Li Qinghai depends on your own abilities."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu Shan. Once I eliminate Li Qinghai, I''ll be sure to reward you well!"
"Mm."
Wu Shan responded indifferently and then turned to leave.
After seeing Wu Shan off, Ye Feng immediately went to his bed and sat cross-legged.
"Li Qinghai, oh Li Qinghai, the day of the Dao Inquiry True Transmission will be your death day!"
With that, Ye Feng closed his eyes and began cultivating.
He wanted to elevate his strength to its peak state, so he could eliminate Li Qinghai in one fell swoop!
