Chapter 945: Chapter 913: Family Tournament, Heading to the Li Family

Upon thinking of this, Wen Xianhe displayed an even more enthusiastic expression and began to share the situation he had discovered.

There wasn’t much publicly available information about the six Crystallization period female cultivators, but Lu Ping could estimate the age of Li Chaoge and found that there were indeed two who matched that age.

There’s hope, there’s hope.

"Senior, I also found out that in about twenty days, it’s going to be the time for the family competition between the Li family and the Long family."

"This time, the family competition will be held at the Li Family abode, and they will be inviting some external cultivators to observe."

"As long as you are a cultivator in Yuyang City with a Crystallization level of strength, you can go and observe."

"Senior, as a Golden Ring expert, you can definitely go to the Li Family and watch the family competition."

Wen Xianhe revealed such important news, sparking Lu Ping’s interest.

The family competition is a traditional tournament passed down by the Li and Long families, mainly for two purposes.

First, to showcase their own foundation to the outside world, displaying how many blessed talents they have, intimidating all sides.

Second, through this competition, the two families engage in a fair and reasonable contest to see which family’s young generation holds greater strength.

The last family competition happened ten years ago.

That time, the Long family had the advantage, producing several prodigies that attracted attention from the outside world, receiving the family’s focused nurturing.

It is said that this time, the Li family wants to surpass the Long Family and win this competition, not letting the Long Family win two family competitions in a row.

Learning that this family gathering is such a matter, a rivalry between the two families, Lu Ping nodded slightly.

Since the family competition is imminent, that means that many cultivators from the Li Family will participate, providing a good opportunity to meet many cultivators from the Li Family.

Having made up his mind to attend and observe the Li Family’s family competition, Lu Ping inquired about Wen Xianhe’s cultivation status, giving her some guidance on her cultivation, and then said no more.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Wen Xianhe’s comprehension was not lacking.

Lu Ping speculated that she had Three Spirit Roots aptitude, her current strength already reaching the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, just a step away from the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Now with Lu Ping’s guidance, and being able to absorb the surrounding rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for cultivation, she sat down and started cultivating based on Lu Ping’s suggestion.

Half an hour passed, and she made a breakthrough in cultivation, excitedly opened her eyes.

"Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation!"

"Thank you, Senior, my cultivation has finally broken through."

Wen Xianhe was visibly excited, her eyes filled with joy.

At this moment, Shanshan flew out of Lu Ping’s Spirit Beast Bag, transformed into the image of a colorful-clothed girl.

This immediately caught Wen Xianhe’s attention.

"Who might this be..."

As Shanshan displayed her Transformation Technique, emitting a circle of aura fluctuations, Wen Xianhe was surprised to find that the aura of the colorful-clothed girl before her actually far exceeded the Foundation Establishment level, reaching the Golden Core level standard.

A Golden Core level spirit beast?

Such a thought rapidly surfaced in her mind.

It was hard to believe that Senior Lu Ping actually had a Golden Core level spirit beast!

This level of spirit beast, she was seeing for the first time, unable to contain her shock, she took a few more glances at Shanshan.

"Little Xianhe, still staring."

Shanshan, lively and restless, seeing Wen Xianhe continuously staring at her, jestingly opened her mouth, tapped her head with her hand.

"Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, you can now undergo Foundation Establishment."

"You must work hard on it."

Shanshan assumed a serious demeanor and said.

"The senior is right."

Wen Xianhe came to her senses, smiling awkwardly, looking at Shanshan with adoration and said.

"Senior, you are really beautiful."

"Really?"

Shanshan’s eyes lit up, she asked.

Wen Xianhe nodded affirmatively, saying earnestly: "Really."

Observing the interaction between the two girls, Lu Ping’s lips curved into a smile.

In Wen Xianhe’s view, Lu Ping was becoming more and more unfathomable in her mind.

After Wen Xianhe finished her cultivation and again brought up the Li family, Lu Ping indicated that he would visit the Li Family when the time comes.

After a final exchange, Wen Xianhe didn’t dare to bother much more, bid her farewell and withdrew.

Time flew by, during the wait for the Li and Long families’ family competition, the nearby Golden Core elder still managed to visit Lu Ping briefly.

Through their exchange, it was gathered that this person was named Bai Tianming, a loose cultivator, relying on his Golden Ring identity authentication, living here for over thirty years.

In terms of strength, Bai Tianming was at Fifth-Layer Golden Core, upon meeting Lu Ping, using his own cultivated Divine Techniques, he roughly perceived Lu Ping’s concealed cultivation level.

This realization led him to utter an astounded shout.

"Nascent Soul True Monarch!!"

He certainly didn’t anticipate living next to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Initially seeing Shanshan’s strength, he had speculated that Lu Ping’s strength was likely at late-stage Golden Core level.

Now, upon meeting him, the shock was palpable.

For such visiting acquaintances, Lu Ping just gave a courteous reception for a while before issuing a polite dismissal.

He had no intention of forming bonds with neighbors in Yuyang City, as he wouldn’t be staying long.

After Bai Tianming left, a few days passed, and it was the day for the Li and Long families’ family competition.

Wen Xianhe arrived on time to find Lu Ping and led him to the Li Family.

Cyan Simurgh Lake, this place located at the southern end of Jade Smoke Mountain, when Lu Ping arrived, there were numerous cultivators visible around.

A month before the family competition was to be held, the Li Family had already sent out messages to the city and beyond, inviting some Crystallization Stage and higher experts to come to the Li Family as guests, and observe this family competition.

The Long family, by contrast, was more low-key, just inviting a few experts to accompany the family to the Li Family.

Others were from Yuyang City and other areas, free to observe by interest, and the Li and Long families welcomed these attendees.

Since showcasing their family prowess and enhancing their reputation were at stake, these two clans naturally hoped for more experts to attend.

Noticing that Divine Sense was constantly probing nearby, checking the strength of those participating, Lu Ping was very discreet, using the Qi Concealing Technique to hide his own cultivation aura.

"Friend, your strength is only at the Qi Refining Stage, and does not currently meet the qualifications for observation, please return."

Wen Xianhe led Lu Ping to the Li Family, and at the family gate, they were gently turned away after the Li family cultivators checked their strength.

Wen Xianhe stuck out her tongue, looking at Lu Ping.

"She is my friend, and will accompany me inside."

Lu Ping smiled lightly, revealing the Golden Ring at his fingertip, and the Li Family cultivator who spotted the Golden Ring immediately changed attitude, smiling and inviting: "Ah, I see, please, both of you, go inside."
