Boarding Life

At the same time, when Ming Lan faced Qin Qi again, her emotions and attitude inevitably became much more complex than before.

After all.

Qin Qi had just arrived in Mingqian City, yet he already caught the attention of her Family Head, and even caused such a commotion.

This level of excellence is something she could never hope to catch up to in her lifetime.

She was very clear that Qin Qi was the greatest opportunity she had encountered so far. If it were any other female cultivator, they would have leapt at the chance to attach themselves to him, yet she...

Qin Qi noticed that Ming Lan’s expression towards him seemed a bit off, and he smiled, "Senior Sister Ming, is something the matter?"

Ming Lan was still very shy, turning away, "No, nothing. Just a reminder to Junior Brother Qin Qi that it’s almost time. In two more hours, we can meet up at the martial arts arena!"

"Understood!"

Qin Qi did not say much more and turned to enter his room.

As for Ming Lan, she watched Qin Qi’s back, biting her lips in thoughtful silence.

Soon, Qin Qi was back in his room.

The voice of the Celestial Joyful Witch echoed, "Hehe, you sure held your temper. You haven’t confronted Ming Tianhong yet?"

"No rush, I need to understand the situation first," Qin Qi spoke slowly.

The Celestial Joyful Witch chuckled, "That’s true, being cautious is indeed good. But are you planning to keep hiding like this?"

"Of course not!" Qin Qi replied leisurely, "Isn’t the bait already cast? Perfect, I can start with Ming Xueying?"

"Oh?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch giggled, "You’re not only planning to start, but perhaps aiming for something more!"

Qin Qi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

The Celestial Joyful Witch understood him well.

With such a captivating beauty in front of him, he seemed to have no reason not to conquer!

"We’ll take it step by step!" Qin Qi stretched lazily, "It’s just a pity that my entry into the Fake Core Stage ultimately failed!"

"Otherwise, I would have had much more confidence in the Land of Overflowing Spirits!"

The Celestial Joyful Witch responded slowly, "Actually, this is a good thing for you!"

"A good thing?" Qin Qi replied, torn between laughter and tears, "How is this a good thing?"

"Do you really think that condensing a Golden Core is that simple?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch said seriously, "If it were that simple, then so many extraordinarily talented people wouldn’t have fallen before reaching the Core Formation Stage."

"And the most difficult hurdle is undoubtedly the Heart Demon Tribulation encountered during Core Formation!"

Qin Qi looked surprised, "Heart Demon Tribulation?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch explained, "That’s right, it’s the most feared hurdle for all Core Formation Stage cultivators. The Heart Demon Tribulation precisely tests a cultivator’s temperament. If one’s temperament is lacking, this tribulation could easily take their life!"

"This is also why Baiqing Residence has repeatedly clashed with you, yet still wants to settle the score. You have already become his Heart Demon!"

"If he doesn’t resolve you, his entire life you will be his greatest obstacle to entering the Core Formation Stage!"

Qin Qi said slowly, "You mean to say that my cultivation progress is too rapid now, making it easy for me to encounter problems during the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

The Celestial Joyful Witch earnestly replied, "Exactly, everything else I can help you with, but matters regarding temperament, only you can address. In this regard, I can hardly assist you!"

"If you truly break through to the Fake Core Stage this time, the Heart Demon Tribulation will be almost upon you!"

"The terror of the Heart Demon Tribulation lies in that it often transforms into what you fear most in your heart, striking a lethal blow where you’re most vulnerable!"

Qin Qi took a deep breath.

He truly hadn’t expected that reaching the Core Formation Stage involved such perils.

But soon, he smiled, "Eventually, I have to walk this path. Frankly, I’m quite curious about what is my weakest, most unwilling, and most afraid thing to face in my heart!"

Even he himself was unclear about this.

The Celestial Joyful Witch was momentarily stunned.

Then she said with a cheerful smile, "It’s good that you have such a mindset!"

Afterward, Qin Qi consulted the Celestial Joyful Witch on some matters regarding the Land of Overflowing Spirits.

Finally, two hours passed.

Qin Qi then exited his room.

Ming Lan was already waiting, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, let’s set off!"

"Alright!" Qin Qi did not waste any time.

The two set out together and, within the span of a tea time, arrived at the Ming Family’s martial arts arena.

The Ming Family’s martial arts arena spanned thousands of meters, and at this moment, hundreds of people were gathered.

Upon closer inspection, they were all disciples of the Ming Family, along with their gathered allies and teammates planning to venture into the Land of Overflowing Spirits together!

"There really are many young disciples from the Ming Family!" Qin Qi observed his surroundings.

He noticed that, like himself, those at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage were not in the minority; counting them, there were at least more than twenty.

Moreover, several, like Xue Zhou, had reached Fake Pill Stage Cultivation!

It made Qin Qi sigh involuntarily.

Had he remained in Tianqing City, he would never have encountered such a spectacle.

Accompanied by the bustling and endless chatter among the crowd.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Quiet, everyone!"

Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice, only to see a person stepping through the air, high and mighty.

Under the shining sunlight, they appeared almost like a deity descending to the world.

This person was none other than the Ming Tianhong he had just met.

Ming Tianhong waved a large hand, and with hands behind his back, he spoke, "All Ming Family disciples and visiting friends, you must be aware of the matter concerning the Land of Overflowing Spirits!"

"I don’t wish to say more idle words; everything will be judged by the gains from the Land of Overflowing Spirits!"

"If you can find five Spirit Grass over a hundred years old in the Land of Overflowing Spirits, you will pass. If less than five, then do not blame the family for being unkind!"

With these words, the people looked at each other, and inevitably felt some pressure building in their hearts.

Especially Ming Lan.

Her cultivation was not high within the family, nor was she a particularly outstanding figure.

Even though the Land of Overflowing Spirits was resource-rich, considering this scale and formation, the probability of her acquiring five Spirit Grass over a hundred years old was extremely slim!

Seeing the unrest within the crowd.

Ming Tianhong was quite pleased with this effect.

He said coldly, "However, the more Spirit Plants obtained, the richer the rewards. Within the family, those who rank in the top ten for spirit plant acquisitions will receive fifty percent!"

"The top five will not only get fifty percent but also be rewarded with one entry to Xiangbao Tower!"

"And the first place, in addition to previous rewards, will be awarded a high tier Spiritual Treasure..."

As his words fell, everyone was left thoroughly astonished.

"A high tier Spiritual Treasure?"
