âWho is that Qin Muxin? Do you know her?â Jing Yingli felt happy about Ye Mo taking in Gu Wenqian. She was also curious about that Qin Muxin, as she had to know Ye Mo really well to say something like that.
âJust an ordinary friend, someone I know,â Ye Mo said casually and then he looked at Jing Yingli and said, âMartial Sister Jing, thank you for your help. Now that I got the spot in the tournament, if you have things to do, you can leave first, but if youâre free, you can form your essence spirit and break through to the hollow spirit state.â
Jing Yingli nodded. âI have nothing in particular to do. I was scared of messing up your sign-up before so I didnât break through, but now I can break through.â
...
That day, Ye Mo, Gu Wenqian, and Jing Yingli left Pill City. They went tens of thousands of km away from the city as Jing Yingli began to break through. Ye Mo helped her set up a spirit gathering formation and protected Jing Yingli with Gu Wenqian.
Jing Yingli was from a nine star sect and had an extreme grade spirit artefact armor. Her flute was a low grade cultivation artefact. She also had another half cultivation artefact shield.
The hollow spirit state divine damnation was a nine-nine divine damnation, but it didnât threaten Jing Yingli at all.
Ye Mo saw that she wasnât struggling to survive like him, so he didnât help. He saw Jing Yingliâs divine damnation had the same amount of lightning bolts as his but his had been even more powerful than hers. Now he realized that his divine damnation was a level higher than other peopleâs.
Jing Yingliâs divine damnation attracted many cultivators but most of them were nascent soul state and golden core state cultivators wanting to observe a hollow spirit state divine damnation. With Ye Mo and the hollow spirit state peak stage Gu Wenqian guarding, no one dared to do anything. Only when her divine damnation was over did some higher level cultivators come. One day later, Jing Yingli successfully stabilized her power and became a hollow spirit state level one cultivator.
âSister, youâre already at the hollow spirit state?â another voice sounded. Ye Mo didnât need to look to know who it was. It was Jing Yingmeng.
Ye Mo felt there was something strange between the sisters, but he never asked.
Jing Yingmeng wore a green dress and flew over like a butterfly. There was a body condensation state old man behind her.
That old man saw Jing Yingli and bowed. âI greet Miss Yingli. Sect Leader heard that you were undergoing your divine damnation outside the city. He told you to go to the sectâs quarters in the city afterwards.â
Jing Yingli frowned. âIs my father there?â
âYes, sister, many sects are coming to the pill king tournament and our sect wants to hire a few pill king guest elders too. So father brought many elders over,â Jing Yingmeng answered.
Then she said, âSister, how can you have your divine damnation outside? Itâs too dangerous. But Iâm really happy that you reached the hollow spirit state.â
Jing Yingli looked at Jing Yingmeng and said plainly, âThank you, but I had my friends to protect me, itâs fine.â
Then Jing Yingli glaned and nodded at Ye Mo.
Jing Yingmeng saw this and walked over, bowing to the two. âThanks for helping my sister, Iâm very grateful.â
Ye Mo smiled and didnât speak, but Gu Wenqian quickly said, âIt is my honor to be able to protect Miss Yingli.â
Jing Yingmeng frowned. Ye Mo was only at nascent soul state level five, yet this Gu Wenqian was a hollow spirit state cultivator without a doubt. Yet Ye Mo didnât care about her gratitude. Was he like her, the young master of a nine star sect?
Jing Yingli didnât introduce the two to each other. She walked up to Ye Mo and said, âXiaomo, Pill King Hu Wen, Iâll be going back to my sect. We will meet again. I hope you guys do well in the tournament.â
Ye Mo said, âMartial Sister Jing, thanks a lot, if it wasnât for you, I would still be cluelessly running around here.â
Jing Yingli smiled. âJust call me martial sister Yingli. Iâm going first. I will cheer you on on the day of the tournament.â
Then she left with the body condensation state man and her sister.
âSister, did you call that cultivator Pill King Hu Wen? Blue Lake Pill King Hu Wen?â Jing Yingmeng finally reacted and asked in shock.
Jing Yingli nodded casually. âYes, heâs Pill King Hu Wen.â
âThen who was the young man called Xiaomo? Is he Pill King Hu Wenâs disciple? Why was he rude? Pill King Hu Wen spoiled him.â
Then she asked in shock, âDid Pill King Hu Wen help you concoct your hollow meridian pill?â
Jing Yingli said calmly, âI traded for the pill with my herbs. As for Pill King Hu Wen, heâs only a level two pill king and canât concoct the hollow meridian pill yet.â
Jing Yingmeng sighed and looked strangely at Jing Yingli, saying, âSister, I feel like you changed a lot ever since coming out of the Truth Fall Palace. Is that young cultivator the person you like? Heâs only at nascent soul state level five, but his master is quite good. Youâre really lucky to know Pill King Hu Wen pill king. If he could...â
Jing Yingmeng stopped, knowing that her sister would understand what she meant even if she didnât continue.
Jing Yingli did know what she meant. She wanted Hu Wen to become a hired guest elder at their Abstruse Sound Sect. Before today, Jing Yingli wouldnât know what Pill King Hu Wen would think about it, but now she knew he wasnât going to leave Ye Mo for anything. If Ye Mo agreed to take Hu Wen in as a disciple, even Pill City wouldnât be able to keep him.
Seeing that Jing Yingli didnât comment, Jing Yingmeng asked quietly, âSister, do you really like that cultivator called Xiaomo?â
Jing Yingli was dazed. She had never thought about it. She knew that she was ugly, but if it was an ordinary cultivator, she wouldnât think she didnât deserve that person because of her looks.
But facing Ye Mo, she felt she didnât deserve him no matter how she looked. This had nothing to do with looks.
She didnât think her sister who was ranked fourth on the South Peace State ten beauty list deserved Ye Mo either. This had nothing to do with looks.
âI donât deserve him,â Jing Yingli said calmly.
âWhat?â Jing Yingmeng looked at Jing Yingli in a stupor. She wouldâve never believed these words would come out of her sisterâs mouth. She thought Jing Yingli was talking about her looks.
Ever since she could remember, her sister Jing Yingli had never admitted defeat. She wouldnât feel insecure about her looks in front of anyone. Even she knew she couldnât beat her sister in anything other than looks.
Yet her sister had said today she didnât deserve someone.
Six years ago, eight star sect Golden Sword Sectâs core disciple Xiao Fei came to propose to their sect. Everyone thought he was there to propose to Jing Yingmeng, but he was in love with Jing Yingli.
Yet to this golden core state hall of fame number two cultivator, Jing Yingli just said, âYou donât deserve me.â
Xiao Fei fled in shame.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
