Chapter 655: Chapter 315: The Cyan Lotus Sect Doesn’t Tolerate Weaklings

The atmosphere at the banquet instantly fell silent, and seeing the situation wasn’t right, Xue Wu quickly said:

"Brother Qin, my apologies, my brother is drunk."

"I’m not drunk!"

Xue Wen coldly looked at Qin Gengyun: "Junior Sister Qiu is a genius of the Cyan Lotus Sect, always with high standards, never close with any male cultivator, yet she’s willing to marry Taoist Friend Qin. There must be something extraordinary about Taoist Friend Qin?"

"This..."

Xue Wen’s words inexplicably made Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe recall something. The couple exchanged glances, with a bit of indescribable ambiguity in their eyes.

Especially Qiu Zhihe, who had also drunk quite a lot, her pretty face blushing, her beautiful eyes shimmering like spring water, and she coquettishly glared at her husband.

This scene fell into Xue Wen’s eyes, making his heart even more sour and resentful.

I’m challenging you, yet you’re busy flirting with the Saintess?

Excessive!

Bam!

Xue Wen slammed the table, stood up swiftly; in the chaotic noise caused by the table shattering and dishes falling, he pointed at Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin, our Cyan Lotus Sect doesn’t accept worthless people. If you tricked Junior Sister Qiu with sweet-talking, I would be the first to object!"

"Brother!"

Xue Wu quickly got up to pull him but was shrugged off by Xue Wen, who coldly stared at Qin Gengyun.

Qiu Zhihe’s expression turned cold, and was about to speak, but Qin Gengyun gently held her hand, standing up slowly and smilingly offering a salute to Xue Wen:

"Taoist Friend Xue, my talent is ordinary, I awakened late, suffered from Pill Poison for decades, and have only reached the Seventh-Layer of the Golden Core. Naturally, my cultivation isn’t your match."

The surrounding Cyan Lotus Sect members couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Pill Poison?!"

"Didn’t expect him to be afflicted with Pill Poison?"

"Reaching the Seventh-Layer of the Golden Core despite such a condition is truly remarkable!"

"Continuing to cultivate despite being troubled by Pill Poison shows admirable determination."

The Cyan Lotus Sect leader, Nalan Yan, is an Alchemist, and her disciples understand the Alchemist’s path well.

Fully aware of the horrors of Pill Poison, once afflicted, one can no longer cultivate. Nalan Yan had never allowed her disciples to clean up alchemy residues, always replacing the Pill Furnace to prevent them from contracting Pill Poison.

No one expected that Qin Gengyun, once struggling with Pill Poison, could cultivate to the Seventh-Layer of the Golden Core—it was already a miracle.

Qin Gengyun’s words instantly changed everyone’s perception of him.

At least from a mental and willpower perspective, this person is worthy of the Saintess.

Xue Wen sneered: "Since you admit defeat, then please leave Junior Sister Qiu, otherwise, if trouble comes in the future, you can’t protect her, which is pointless."

Qiu Zhihe finally spoke: "Why would I need him to protect me?"

She looked at Qin Gengyun indifferently: "I’ll protect him."

"..."

Everyone was left staring blankly at her, Qin Gengyun felt touched, though also a bit helpless.

My dear wife, I know you genuinely care for me, but now your admirer is questioning me. You just said you’d protect me, wouldn’t it make him more eager?

Indeed, upon hearing Qiu Zhihe’s words, the disdain in Xue Wen’s eyes intensified, and he sneered at Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin looks so strong, but I didn’t expect him to be a pretty boy. How about this, I won’t bully you. I’ll lower my cultivation to the Seventh-Layer of the Golden Core; whatever you excel at, I’ll match it with you. Is that agreeable?"

"No way!" Qiu Zhihe immediately opposed.

Xue Wen thought the Saintess was worried about her pretty boy husband, laughed softly:

"Rest assured, Junior Sister Qiu, I won’t hurt your husband, only let him understand the rule that Cyan Lotus Sect doesn’t keep the worthless."

"Absolutely not!" Qiu Zhihe tried to speak further, but Qin Gengyun interrupted:

"My dear wife, it’s alright, I know what I’m doing."

Qiu Zhihe took his hand, advising him: "Be careful."

Qin Gengyun smiled and nodded.

Seeing the Saintess so concerned about the worthless pretty boy, Xue Wen’s anger grew. He instantly leaped onto the spacious grassy area, spiritual power surging, indeed lowering his cultivation to the Seventh-Layer of the Golden Core.

He glanced sideways at Qin Gengyun: "Which cultivation technique are you good at?"

Qin Gengyun replied helplessly: "I don’t know anything else, just Body Cultivation."

"Body Cultivation?"

Xue Wen sized him up, the disdain in his eyes intensified.

It seemed to say, how dare such a pretty boy practice Body Cultivation?

Xue Wen sneered: "Since that’s the case, let’s practice Body Refining with each other, do you know Body Refining Collision?"

The so-called "Body Refining Collision" is precisely the method Qin Gengyun often used at Divinity Transformation Peak to practice with the body refinement fanatic, Second Senior Brother Cheng Yue.

It’s the most primal clash between flesh, the best way to train physical strength.

Back in Qiushui Town, Qin Gengyun used this trick to lure Su Hongling into a collision, knocking her unconscious.

Hearing Xue Wen’s confident words, Qin Gengyun kindly reminded: "Taoist Friend Xue, if you’re not a Body Cultivator, this will be quite disadvantageous for you."

"Hahaha!"

Xue Wen thought he was mocking him, angrily laughed:

"Xue may not be a Body Cultivator, but against pretty boys, I won’t be at a loss! Taoist Friend Qin, let’s not waste any more time, sooner or later you’ll embarrass yourself, better be quick, I might think higher of you!"

Qin Gengyun turned to look at Qiu Zhihe, helplessly spread his hands, then offered a salute to Xue Wen:

"Taoist Friend Xue, please."

Xue Wen sneered, quickly tearing off his robe to reveal his muscular upper body.

"Oh my!"

Nearby Liu Xiaotang didn’t expect him to suddenly disrobe, blushing, she quickly covered her eyes.

Xue Wen was shameless, intentionally showing off his muscles to Qiu Zhihe.

But found that Qiu Zhihe wasn’t even looking at him, her beautiful eyes focused on the worthless pretty boy opposite.

His face instantly darkened, he said to Qin Gengyun: "Are you ready?"

Qin Gengyun, not as ostentatious, didn’t tear his clothes or reveal his muscles, calmly replied:

"Bring it on."

Xue Wen roared fiercely, his legs exerting force, his large body like a small mountain crashing towards Qin Gengyun!

Qin Gengyun similarly charged at him, such collision practice was done hundreds of times daily with Second Senior Brother Cheng Yue.

For him, it was no longer a thrilling event.

Under the gaze of dozens, Xue Wen and Qin Gengyun grew closer.

Xue Wu’s face suddenly changed: "Uh-oh!"

Just as his voice fell, the two equally large figures collided heavily.

In an instant, Xue Wen was sent flying, crashing straight into the garden over ten feet away.

"Oh no, that’s my wife’s favorite garden!"

Qin Gengyun flickered, catching up in mid-air, catching Xue Wen before he hit the ground.

Xue Wen was held sideways by him, landed on the ground, Qin Gengyun said: "Taoist Friend Xue, are you okay?"

"You..."

Xue Wen’s face flushed scarlet, speechless.

Xue Wu held his forehead: "Turns out the Saintess opposed earlier, not worried about Brother Qin, but fearing my brother would embarrass himself, sigh..."
