15: Qi Luck Activation

"This little girl's Luck is quite good. She actually drew a bye. Could she still be a Child of Fortune?"

An Elder slowly spoke, and everyone looked towards Su Yao's location. With their eyesight, they instantly saw the bye slip in her hand.

"Damn, her Luck is indeed good. She's very likely a Child of Fortune. Let's observe her more!"

"Haha, keep observing. Anyway, I'm determined to take this Disciple today. I've already sent my Disciple to fight with all his might. If he can become the champion, I'll immediately take him as my personal Disciple!"

"It's the same for everyone! You can only see these small conditions, you pauper. I can even marry my daughter off to the Disciple who becomes the champion!"

The various Chief Elders discussed animatedly. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, having noticed that Su Yao's aura was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment!

"What! How can this be! Su Yao was only at Qi Refining third layer when she joined the Sect. How did she reach the Peak of Foundation Establishment in just seven days!"

"Although I heard that Su Yao's Physique was repaired, she shouldn't Cultivate so quickly. Could it be that Li Haotian gave her a large number of Medicinal Pills to increase her cultivation so she could win?"

Suddenly, someone said this, and all the Chief Elders' expressions changed drastically.

A Realm forcibly accumulated by Medicinal Pills is too unstable and can't even be called a Foundation.

Many Prodigy powerhouses of the younger generation would rather spend decades immersed in a major Realm than Breakthrough, just to solidify their Foundation. Only with a strong Foundation can they go higher and further in the future.

Everyone now assumed that Li Haotian had forcibly raised Su Yao's Realm with Medicinal Pills. If this were true, this Prodigy might be crippled and would require a massive amount of resources to help her restore her Foundation.

"No! This matter must be reported to the Sect Master! Li Haotian is simply misleading his Disciple!"

"Su Yao's talent and Physique are enough for her to dominate an era and become the nightmare of all Prodigies. As long as Su Yao is around, no other Prodigy will have a chance to shine. If she's ruined by that good-for-nothing, such a Prodigy will be wasted!"

"We must tell the Sect Master to hold Li Haotian accountable! We cannot let him continue to instruct Su Yao, otherwise, the Heavenly Profound Sect's ten thousand years of stable hope will be shaken!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and quickly reported the matter to Immortal Master Xuan Qing.

Immortal Master Xuan Qing frowned slightly and observed Su Yao, but did not find any signs of Qi deficiency.

To be safe, he still decided to go find Li Haotian. If that guy really gave Su Yao Medicinal Pills to increase her cultivation, it would be troublesome.

This would be equivalent to directly ruining Su Yao, the Prodigy!

This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly. Once it is discovered that Su Yao has consumed Medicinal Pills to increase her Realm, they must quickly use various Heaven And Earth Treasures to repair Su Yao's previous Foundation.

Li Haotian was currently boiling water and cooking. It was a good day, and he had gotten up early to re-sow some seeds in the vegetable garden and apply fertilizer.

Then he pulled out a few radishes and prepared to return home to stew meat.

Just as the water began to boil, Li Haotian heard a whooshing sound from behind him.

"Sect Master."

Li Haotian respectfully stood up and saluted with cupped hands.

Immortal Master Xuan Qing looked at him with a hint of helplessness. This guy, who knows what method he used, actually concealed his cultivation. He was probably worried about being mocked further by others.

He knew how broken Li Haotian's Spiritual Root and Dantian were, to the point where he couldn't absorb even a trace of Spiritual Qi. Even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal descended, they probably couldn't put him back on the path of Cultivation.

After that battle, he tried many methods to save this former Prodigy, but nothing worked. In the end, he could only give up.

Now, seeing this once arrogant Prodigy so decadent, living like a Mortal, cooking vegetables every day, he felt truly heartbroken.

"Tell me, why has Su Yao's cultivation improved so quickly? Did you give her something to eat?"

Li Haotian's entire body visibly stiffened slightly, because he thought that his act of helping Su Yao repair her Physique and Spiritual Root had been exposed.

The two were simply not on the same wavelength.

"Hmm, she did eat some."

Immortal Master Xuan Qing was furious, and his gaze towards Li Haotian also carried a hint of disappointment.

This former Prodigy certainly knew that consuming Medicinal Pills to increase cultivation would harm one's Realm, yet he still did it. Was Li Haotian retaliating against the Sect for not valuing him, a meritorious official?

"Don't worry, there won't be any major problems. I know this girl Su Yao; her cultivation speed is indeed very fast, just like mine back then."

Immortal Master Xuan Qing immediately became even more enraged. This guy still had an attitude of not caring about anything, especially that phrase, 'just like mine back then,' which made Immortal Master Xuan Qing's heart tighten.

Could it be that he really intended to turn Su Yao, this Prodigy, into a cripple like himself?

Immortal Master Xuan Qing felt deeply disappointed, but Su Yao was, after all, nominally Li Haotian's Disciple. He couldn't say much and could only angrily flick his sleeves and leave.

Li Haotian was bewildered. What was wrong with the Sect Master today, coming here to ask a question and then leaving with a dark expression? Did he say something wrong?

While he was racking his brain, battles had already begun one after another on the arena.

There were about a thousand talented Disciples, which was three or four times more than the number of talented Disciples in previous years!

Everyone wanted to win the champion position and gain the opportunity for Su Yao to join their lineage.

Two Chief Elders who might have been chatting and laughing a second ago would start verbally sparring like needle-point against wheat awns once they saw their Disciples fighting each other.

After all, they all wanted an extremely talented Disciple to become their apprentice. If they could raise an Emperor-level powerhouse, they could brag to Yama in the underworld for a hundred years.

Su Yao sat below the stage, somewhat bored, watching the fervent battles above. Her heart was itching, but she could only wait. While waiting, she stared at the battles of the Disciples from various Peaks on stage, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

Because their combat techniques were slightly different from those she had seen before.

Her only combat experience was fighting the willow tree, whose attack method was very simple: continuously attacking with its branches.

However, some of the Disciples on stage wielded spears and staffs, and some even directly summoned Flying Swords. Su Yao watched, dazzled, rapidly learning their combat techniques.

[Ding! Detected that Disciple Su Yao has activated her Learning Luck. Reward: Host becomes a Child of Fortune of the Heavenly Domain.]

Li Haotian, who was shoveling radishes into his mouth, froze when he heard the System's voice.

Participating in a grand competition can activate Luck??
