> Noble Aspirations Recap

Tian Buyi learned that Tian Ling'er had gone to Tongtian Peak to visit Qi Hao, and his anger was simply that of a parent who hates to see his child not live up to expectations. Just then, Zhang Xiaofan heard his master's anger and tried to sneak past, but Tian Buyi called him over and gave him a good scolding. Zhang Xiaofan, knowing his talent was not high, muttered to himself in the kitchen.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er, who was grounded by Tian Buyi, mistakenly thought Zhang Xiaofan had revealed her whereabouts to her father. She came over to accuse Zhang Xiaofan of stirring up trouble in front of her father. Zhang Xiaofan quickly defended himself, saying he hadn't said anything. Tian Ling'er then accused Zhang Xiaofan of not helping her smooth things over. Zhang Xiaofan, who never lied, advised Tian Ling'er to spend less time with Qi Hao.

Tian Ling'er angrily questioned Zhang Xiaofan, saying who she was with was none of his business. After throwing a tantrum, Tian Ling'er also realized that what she did was a bit inappropriate and gradually softened her tone. After Tian Ling'er left, the words she had spoken during the day echoed in Zhang Xiaofan's ears again, making him feel even more inferior. Just then, Xiaohui dragged the stick and brought it to Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan unintentionally discovered that he had mastered the third level of his cultivation method. He remembered his master once saying that spiritual artifacts recognize their owners, and now that he could wield this stick, perhaps it was his own spiritual artifact. Just then, Du Bishu, who had been traveling, returned to Dazhu Peak and showed everyone his spiritual artifact – a die.

It turned out that Du Bishu had discovered a thousand-year-old three-branched tree by a southern landscape, extracted its essence, and refined it into his own spiritual artifact. Tian Buyi saw that Du Bishu, who was considered relatively intelligent among the disciples, had actually refined such a spiritual artifact. He repeatedly criticized Du Bishu, saying he was truly "rotten wood that cannot be carved."

Tian Buyi could even imagine the scene a month later at the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, where disciples from various peaks would mock Du Bishu. At that time, what honor would Dazhu Peak have? Su Ru instructed all disciples to prepare for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament. Zhang Xiaofan learned that he could also go down the mountain to Dazhu Peak, and he excitedly danced with joy. Seeing Tian Buyi's gloomy face, Zhang Xiaofan immediately restrained his smile.

It turned out that this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament allocated nine slots to each peak, but Dazhu Peak, including Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er, only had a total of eight people. No wonder Tian Buyi agreed to let Zhang Xiaofan, whose magic was not yet fully practiced, participate. Qi Hao came to Dazhu Peak to inform Tian Buyi about the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.

At the same time, to repay Tian Ling'er for giving him medicine, he gave her a Qingliang Pearl. Ripples of happiness naturally stirred in Tian Ling'er's heart, while Zhang Xiaofan stood silently watching her. Tian Buyi saw his daughter's joyful appearance and was very angry, ordering his disciples to begin secluded cultivation from the next day. Time flew by. All the disciples diligently practiced their magic, and Zhang Xiaofan was not idle either, practicing all day with that stick.

The senior and junior brothers gathered to display their respective spiritual artifacts. Du Bishu finally found someone to mock: Zhang Xiaofan was actually using a kitchen fire poker as his spiritual artifact. The day of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament arrived. Song Daren used his magic to take Zhang Xiaofan directly to Tongtian Peak. Disciples from various peaks gathered in the Cloud Sea in front of Hong Bridge.

Song Daren went to greet Wen Min, a disciple from Xiaozhu Peak, which prompted everyone to ask for wedding wine. Because disciples from various peaks rarely met, they called out to friends, and the normally quiet Cloud Sea instantly became lively. Qi Hao, graceful and elegant, stood on Hong Bridge and loudly announced to everyone that all disciples participating in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament should proceed to Yuqing Hall.

Tian Ling'er saw Qi Hao, smiled radiantly like a flower, and headed straight for him. Zhang Xiaofan walked on Hong Bridge and noticed that everyone was walking. He quickly asked Lin Jingyu what was going on. Lin Jingyu told him that, firstly, it was to show respect to the Sect Leader, and secondly, since the establishment of the Qingyun Sect, Patriarch Qingye had set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array here.

Anyone who tried to force their way through would surely be slain by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array. Zhang Xiaofan then understood, repeatedly asking Lin Jingyu about the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array. Just then, they saw the spiritual beast Water Kirin lying by Bishui Pond. They naturally recalled the scene five years ago when they first arrived at the Qingyun Sect and hastily bowed to the Water Kirin.

Lin Jingyu heard that Zhang Xiaofan still couldn't properly wield his spiritual artifact and quickly comforted Zhang Xiaofan, telling him to just consider it an experience. Hearing even Lin Jingyu say this, Zhang Xiaofan secretly vowed to win in the competition. With a movement of his thoughts, the Blood-Devouring Pearl on his stick instantly reacted. The Water Kirin, which had been lying by the water, suddenly stood up and roared repeatedly, causing the sky to darken for a moment.

At this critical moment, Dao Xuan True Lord was seen flying through the air, activating his magic, and only then did the Water Kirin slowly calm down, leaping away into the distance. Cang Song Daoist falsely claimed that the terrifying scene just now was a test from the Spiritual Venerable for everyone, and he instructed the disciples to proceed to Yuqing Hall. Dao Xuan, meanwhile, intended to find the Spiritual Venerable to clarify what had truly happened.

Inside Yuqing Hall, solemn and dignified, Dao Xuan True Lord, after proclaiming the Qingyun Sect's ancestral teachings, informed the disciples that Patriarch Qingye, in order to alert all disciples and encourage them to care for the world, held a Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament every sixty years. After more than 1200 years, this was already the twentieth session. Now, the Qingyun Sect was more prosperous than ever before, with countless outstanding young disciples.

Therefore, the number of participants would be increased to sixty-four. Cang Song Daoist announced the drawing rules: there were sixty-three wax pills in the rosewood box. Each person would draw a number from a wax pill to determine their opponent, and the winner would advance. Tian Ling'er didn't understand why there were only sixty-four wax pills when there were clearly sixty-four people. She quickly asked Cang Song Daoist.

Cang Song told everyone that originally each peak had nine participants, with the main peak having one extra. However, because one peak only sent eight people, there were only sixty-three participants in total. The disciple who drew number one would have a bye in the first round. Hearing this, the face of Tian Buyi, Head of Dazhu Peak, grew increasingly grim, because everyone knew that Cang Song was referring to the Dazhu Peak branch. The disciples drew lots in sequence.

Zhang Xiaofan watched Lu Xueqi slowly walk past him, his eyes fixed on her. Just then, Du Bishu pulled Zhang Xiaofan to draw lots. Zhang Xiaofan unexpectedly drew lot number one. Cang Song Daoist asked who had drawn lot number one. Zhang Xiaofan shyly raised his hand and told Cang Song Daoist that he had drawn it. Tian Buyi, seeing his disciple get a bye in the first round, had a joyous expression.

That night, Zhang Xiaofan lay in bed, truly unable to understand why the Spiritual Venerable Water Kirin would get angry both times it saw him. He couldn't resist wanting to go out and see. Suddenly, he noticed Tian Ling'er hurriedly leaving her room.
