Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 527 - 153: Star Gate Disciple, Foot Bath City?
From that time, the Qin family has been trying every means to allow their members to enter the Star Gate for cultivation.
Forty years have passed.
The Qin family successfully sent two disciples into the Star Gate, but their spiritual roots were too weak. While they were top-tier in the Great Xia Kingdom, they could only become servant disciples in the Star Gate and were eliminated in less than a year.
Qin Cangqiong was one of them.
Since being eliminated by the Star Gate, he pinned all his hopes on his offspring. To ensure that they could remain in the Star Gate, the Qin family paid a huge price to let Qin Qianyu be born with spiritual roots.
Now, Qin Qianyu has successfully awakened with top-grade spiritual roots.
His talent is exceptional, not only capable of entering the Star Gate but also possibly becoming a Star Gate Outer Disciple, provided that Qin Qianyu must participate in this year’s continental competition.
Only at his age can top-grade spiritual roots attract the attention of the Star Gate powerhouses.
Once over twenty years old, top-grade spiritual roots are not that precious in the eyes of the Star Gate powerhouses.
Therefore, Qin Qianyu’s goal is not only to bring glory to the Great Xia Kingdom but also to enter the Star Gate, like his father, to become a disciple of the Star Gate, preferably breaking his father’s record and becoming an Outer Disciple to ensure the prosperity of the Qin family.
The Qin family has provided him with numerous precious cultivation resources over the years, even more than what Qin Wanrong and Qin Xin have received, to make him a Star Gate Outer Disciple.
Qin Qianyu knows the heavy responsibility he carries.
Regardless, he must become a Star Gate disciple, even if it’s just a servant disciple.
"Leave it to me!"
Jin Yifei resolved.
The three have prepared for many years and can’t let Qin Qianyu and Ling Feng ruin the plan. Even if Qin Qianyu is to become a candidate, Ling Feng absolutely cannot.
He must be eliminated during the assessment.
"I heard this Ling Feng overly relies on the cultivation resource subsidy, rarely cultivating on his own. His success today is all due to resource subsidies and talent bonuses. If he suddenly starts putting in effort, then we..."
Chu Chenyu sounded worried.
"Then make it such that he can’t cultivate. I remember Li Xiaoshuang and the others tried before. To eliminate Ling Feng, they even stopped cultivating to play mahjong with him. We may not play mahjong with Ling Feng, but we can find ways to prevent him from cultivating."
Ding Qiang smirked.
"Jiang Nan just ordered that Divine Thought Class members are forbidden to play poker or cards with Ling Feng. I am one of the class members, so I can’t partake in activities that hinder his cultivation,"
Jin Yifei reminded.
"You are a Divine Thought Class member; we are not,"
Chu Chenyu laughed.
"Over-increasing the Sea of Consciousness Value can disrupt one’s power balance. The Qin family gave Ling Feng a vial of Consciousness Potion today; how about we also give him a vial? I don’t believe his body can handle so much Consciousness Potion."
Ding Qiang suggested.
"A whole vial of Consciousness Potion? That’s extremely valuable!"
Chu Chenyu winced.
"No matter how valuable, it can’t be compared to the Primordial Potion. Even before awakening his spiritual roots, he could tear apart a demon god and crush Bao Tou the Leopard. Now he has become a Destruction Mentalist. If he blinds himself to awaken a spiritual root, perhaps neither of us will get the Primordial Potion,"
Ding Qiang reminded.
Among the three, Jin Yifei is the strongest, having awakened an upper-grade spiritual root, while the other two have only middle-grade spiritual roots. If not for their abundant resources and accumulated power, perhaps even Li Xiaoshuang could have posed a threat to them.
"Alright then, let’s give him a vial of Consciousness Potion,"
Chu Chenyu reluctantly agreed.
"The Consciousness Potion shouldn’t be given for free; we should ensure he consumes it directly without refining it first,"
Jin Yifei reminded.
"This..."
Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu frowned, finding it difficult.
"You can’t catch a wolf without risking the lamb. Try to find a way to take Ling Feng out for a few days. He grew up in a fourth-tier province and hasn’t seen much. Here, as a first-tier province, there are many things and treasures he normally doesn’t see. You guys could think in this direction,"
Jin Yifei reminded again.
"Leaving the academy unauthorized, what if..."
Chu Chenyu worried.
Even Li Xiaoshuang and the others, who are not afraid of being expelled, wouldn’t dare leave the academy easily without a reason. If they irk the academy authorities, they’d have tons of problems to deal with.
"Who told you to leave without permission? Hasn’t he applied to leave the academy previously? Can’t you just apply yourselves? As for tactics, figure it out yourselves, I need to cultivate. Otherwise, I’m worried I won’t be able to deal with Qin Qianyu in due time and won’t be able to secure the Primordial Potion for you,"
Jin Yifei impatiently said.
"Alright, leave it to us,"
Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu could only comply.
On the next day,
Ling Feng returned from practicing at the Divine Thought Class and found an extra vial of Consciousness Potion at home, making him ponder deeply.
"It’s a small token from both of us,"
Ding Qiang beamed.
"As they say, ’It’s better to make peace than war.’ I hope you won’t mind,"
Chu Chenyu followed up.
Both of them appeared at the door.
"Giving out of the blue means either flattery or thievery,"
Ling Feng said skeptically.
Just yesterday, he had embarrassed Jin Yifei, and the guy seemed like he wanted to eat him alive. Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu were Jin Yifei’s brothers-in-arms and rivals to Qin Qianyu. Why would they try to flatter him?
And they even gifted him the Consciousness Potion.
Such a precious cultivation resource subsidy, could it be poisoned?
They probably wouldn’t dare.
