After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 66 Qualification for Inheritance

"Impossible! The real person left three hundred years ago!" Shen Xu said in shock.

"Three hundred years have already passed? Time really flies!" A trace of melancholy appeared on the face of the young man in white.

"Who exactly are you?" Shen Xu asked, frowning.

“Young man, you should listen to what people are saying before interrupting, or you’ll get beaten up! Although I’m not Qingzhu Zhenren, I’m pretty much the same. I’m a mist shadow he left behind to protect the Cloud Bamboo Realm.” The mist shadow said somewhat discontentedly.

"A misty shadow, three hundred years! I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me." He didn't believe a misty shadow could last for three hundred years without dissipating.

Believe it or not! I don't need to explain it to you.

"Then why did you save me?"

"Who said I saved you? I'm just giving you a reward for passing the first stage of the test!"

"A test? A reward? What do you mean?" Shen Xu asked, looking puzzled.

"Didn't your elders say anything to you when you came in?"

"Well, I was forced to come in," Shen Xu said, a little embarrassed.

"Forced? I remember this place should be considered an important area of ​​Green Bamboo Peak! How could you, a mere Qi Nourishing Realm cultivator, break in like this?" The white-robed youth clearly didn't believe it.

"It's a long story, but it's an exaggeration to say that this is a heavily guarded area of ​​Green Bamboo Peak! I don't see anyone guarding it usually, but it's true that no one dares to come in."

"No one is defending it? I remember Xiaoshan and the others founded a sect on Green Bamboo Peak. How come no one is defending it? Could it be that the sect they founded has been wiped out?" The young man in white frowned, seemingly lost in memories.

"Of course they weren't wiped out!" Shen Xu quickly replied, noticing that the white-robed youth seemed to be acting strangely.

"But it'll be soon!" Shen Xu thought to himself.

"What's going on? No one has come here for a long time."

Although the young man in white looked very young, Shen Xu couldn't help but detect a sense of age and vicissitude in his voice.

"That's right. Because the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm is too dangerous, no one in the sect has ever come out of it. So, for the safety of the disciples, the sect has forbidden them from entering the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm. However, the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm is located in the core area of ​​the sect, so there must be someone watching it. I just haven't seen it yet," Shen Xu explained.

"So, I remember that after the main body left, the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm gradually got out of control. Their approach was correct."

"Then how did you get in?" the young man in white couldn't help but ask.

So Shen Xu told the young man in white about what had happened to him and the rules of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect.

"No wonder you came in covered in wounds, and your soul was so weak it was almost burned out. I thought you were dead. But you've actually turned misfortune into blessing. Based on your strength, there should have been two Number Nines stopping you in the final stage, but because you were seriously injured, I lowered the difficulty for you."

"Although you ultimately won by trickery, a win is a win, and I won't let you fight again," the young man in white said calmly.

"Thank you so much, Master!" Shen Xu said sincerely.

"However, apart from your slightly low cultivation level, you are quite a prodigy in the Central Plains for your age, and you are qualified to receive my inheritance!"

"Inheritance? What inheritance?" Shen Xu was even more puzzled.

"It seems you really don't know anything." The young man in white couldn't help but cover his forehead.

"Do you want the inheritance of Master Qingzhu?" the white-robed youth asked enticingly.

"Of course!" Shen Xu nodded frantically.

"Defeat me and you'll be fine!" the white-robed youth said quietly.

Shen Xu watched helplessly as the thick white mist beside him was swept away at an astonishing speed, as if by a raging wind. In the blink of an eye, the once clearly visible figure of the white-clad youth vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.

Before Shen Xu could react to what was happening, a strong sense of dizziness suddenly struck him. He felt everything go black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness again, fainting.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Shen Xu slowly opened his eyes, a piercing, excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body. It felt as if countless sharp knives were simultaneously cutting into every inch of his skin and every bone, causing him to grimace and groan in agony.

He had almost gotten used to the pain, but suddenly his body miraculously recovered to a completely healthy state. However, before he could enjoy this rare relief, he was heavily thrown back into his injured body. How could he bear it?

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

He lay on the ground, writhing and twisting his body, trying to alleviate the excruciating pain that was almost unbearable. Sweat had already soaked through his clothes, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. His once handsome face was now as pale as paper, completely devoid of color.

After quite some time, Shen Xu finally began to readjust to his severely injured body. Although the pain was still there, it was no longer as unbearable as it had been at first.

He struggled to sit up, looked around, and was surprised to find himself still sitting in the same spot, with no change in his surroundings. It was as if everything he had just experienced was nothing but a mirage.

But sensing the vibrant blue energy emanating from the surrounding mist, and seeing the white-clad youth still standing in the center of the circular area, Shen Xu felt that what had just happened might not have been unreal.

Moreover, he was certain that he had become much more adept and precise at manipulating the surrounding fog, and even the distance between them had increased significantly.

If his previous manipulation of the smallest unit using the power of water was like a ladle, now it's like a teacup.

The reason for this change in his understanding of water is probably that mysterious water world, and the reward that allowed him to enter that world for enlightenment may be what Wuying said about passing the first level.

If that's really the case, then he's actually turned misfortune into blessing. After all, according to Wuying, given his strength, there should have been two swords named "Jiu" appearing in the final stage.

With the reduction of one enemy by Wuying, the difficulty of the battle decreased by more than half. If both Jianjiu attacked him at the same time, even if he was not injured, he would definitely die from the sudden attack of the two Jianjiu.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little scared. The Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm actually assigned opponents based on the strength of those who came in to challenge it. No wonder no one had ever cleared the level.

According to his guess, there must be a sword "picked up" here, otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for someone at the tenth level of Qi cultivation to get here?

The mist shadow of Master Qingzhu said that as long as you defeat him, you can obtain Master Qingzhu's inheritance. He probably meant that you had to defeat the white-robed youth in the middle of the circular area, who seemed to be very strong.

Although Wuying didn't say what would happen if he didn't win, he guessed that Wuying probably wouldn't only give him one chance, otherwise there would be no need to give him a reward.

However, he needs to recover from his injury first. After all, it's just speculation. What if he really only has one chance? So he must make thorough preparations before taking the challenge.

Furthermore, Wuying said there was no time limit for him. The spiritual energy here is exceptionally rich and full of vitality, making it perfect for his healing. If possible, he even wanted to break through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation here before fighting Wuying.

So Shen Xu settled down in the circular area and used his vital energy to activate the healing pills to slowly heal his various injuries. The healing pills were given to him by Elder Huang, and they were of excellent quality. He had to thank Elder Huang if he could get out of there.
