Chapter 24: Shameless Little Immortal (Part 1)

The Yinsi valley occupies the entire nearby mountain range, with an area comparable to a large sect. Eighty percent of the casual cultivators reside in the Xiayin District, which occupies less than twenty percent of the land. The rest, powerful cultivators with high cultivation levels, live in the Xiayin district, which occupies over eighty percent of the land. After all, this is the logic of the operation of the meeting.

In order to maintain a competitive atmosphere among the casual cultivators, the Yinsi valley stipulates: a small competition must be held within the Xiayin District every three months, and a large competition must be held throughout the entire Yinsi valley every half year. Winners advance, living in better houses, while losers retreat, or even get expelled from the Yinsi valley. Ning Wuxie settled Xuan’er, wearing a bamboo hat, and quietly arrived at the competition venue.

This was a large courtyard, with only a few white-bearded old men sitting behind desks as judges. Ning Wuxie saw the old man who waived his monthly fee half a month ago when he entered the valley, also seated among them. Outside the designated duel area in the center of the courtyard, there were several benches where casual cultivators participating in the small competition were seated. As soon as Ning Wuxie sat down, he heard the people around him excitedly discussing something.

“I heard that Shameless Little Immortal will also be here today, he is also from the Xiayin District’s third section!”

An excited man with a dark complexion and a strong build exclaimed, a hint of a meaningful smile on his face, as if recalling something happy.

“Really? His strength is also in our district?!” His friend beside him looked surprised.

“What strength does he have? He has only cultivated to the eighth level of Refining Qi, it’s clearly written on the stage.” Another person chimed in, as the people around seemed to be getting more interested when it came to Shameless Little Immortal.

Male cultivators smirked and approached, while female cultivators rolled their eyes and blushed in embarrassment. “If he can defeat Jin Yi, then if we encounter him later, I’ll just admit defeat… don’t embarrass yourself.”

A scholar dressed man with a folding fan said. “What are you afraid of, afraid he’ll beat you?!” The dark-skinned man slapped his thigh and said loudly, causing those around to laugh.

“That guy can go and film with the Hehuan Sect people, do you really think he’s some profound person? Anyone who has received a proper inheritance, how could they be so carefree?”

“I think he’s just putting on airs, he won against Jiang Ren by luck!”

After he said this, most people around nodded in agreement. Ever since Ning Wuxie defeated Jiang Ren, rumors about him had been spreading wildly. Some said Ning Wuxie had become the strongest Refining Qi cultivator in history, while others claimed he would definitely make it to the top of the Human Race’s genius list in ten years. The private videos of the young geniuses were released, causing many admirers of Ning Wuxie to change their minds.

On the waiting area, the dark-skinned cultivator teased, causing laughter among the crowd. Only a few people remained silent, those who had witnessed Ning Wuxie defeat Jiang Ren a week ago. They all felt that Ning Wuxie was not that simple, but since public opinion was not on their side, they naturally refrained from expressing their opinions. They could only remain silent.

Soon, the time arrived, and one of the old judges among the judges waved his sleeve, the gate at the courtyard’s entrance closed with a bang, and an invisible barrier enveloped the courtyard.

“Dear fellow cultivators, the Xiayin District small competition, the third district match of March, is now officially beginning!”

“The first match: Li Zhangbei versus Meng Cangran.”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Wuxie, not far away, stood up, holding a Bagua mirror, and walked towards the center of the arena.

“I didn’t expect to be the first one.”

The scholar-dressed cultivator from earlier showed a look of embarrassment, smiled awkwardly, and slowly stood up.

“It’s okay, brother Meng, you can do it!” The dark-skinned man cheered him on.

Meng Cangran forced a smile, nodded, and walked to the center of the stage, looking somewhat timid. Even Li Zhangbei, who was waiting for him in the arena, showed a disdainful smile.

After half an incense stick’s time.

“The winner of this match, Meng Cangran!”

Li Zhangbei lay on the ground, looking shocked at Meng Cangran, who appeared as weak as a scholar across from him.
