Boarding Life-Chapter 621

It's quite normal for issues to arise during cultivation of a technique.

This made Mu Ning call out anxiously, "Qin Qi? Qin Qi!"

Qin Qi remained unresponsive.

Just as Mu Ning was truly beginning to worry that something had happened to Qin Qi.

Suddenly.

Qin Qi, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, gradually opened his eyes.

He exhaled lightly, then smiled and said, "President Mu, don't worry, I'm alright!"

The previously restless mana had indeed taken him some time to stabilize within his Dantian. Fortunately, he was naturally full of Yang energy, so handling this power posed no issue.

It just required some time.

Qin Qi thought to himself, "After successfully cultivating the Celestial Spirit Pure Yang Skill, the Celestial Spirit True Qi within me is far purer than before. It's a shame my own strength is still lacking. I wonder if I can use the first supernatural abilities of this skill, the Pure Yang True Fire and the Golden Crow Technique!"

The power of just the Celestial Spirit True Qi is already incredible.

He couldn't even imagine the power of the Pure Yang True Fire and the Golden Crow Technique.

Seeing that Qin Qi was indeed unharmed, Mu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She furrowed her brows and said, "Qin Qi, did you use the Emotion Spirit Pill to accelerate your cultivation progress?"

Qin Qi nodded lightly, "Yes, I saw the Emotion Spirit Pill could enhance my mana, so I decided to cultivate the technique!"

Mu Ning sighed, frowning, and said, "Qin Qi, you must know, if you used the Emotion Spirit Pill to boost your own cultivation level, the improvement to your strength would be greater."

"But now, you choose to enhance your technique—although your strength increases, it's extraordinarily difficult to use cultivation techniques to compensate for the disparity in cultivation level!"

Qin Qi naturally understood Mu Ning's concern.

He smiled and said, "President Mu, rest assured. This enhancement of technique is also very beneficial to me!"

Mu Ning wanted to say more but stopped.

Yet what's done was done; she could only swallow the words back down.

But, what method would she use to help Qin Qi rapidly enhance his strength?

As Mu Ning was pondering this.

Suddenly, a voice came from among the crowd.

"President Mu!"

"Make way please!"

A figure squeezed through the crowd.

Qin Qi turned his head to look, realizing it was none other than Yan Qingyu.

This left Qin Qi puzzled, didn't Yan Qingyu go with Ling Feixue to participate in the qualifying selection? Why was he back so soon?

Mu Ning also asked, "Qingyu, why are you back? Is the qualifying over? Usually, it takes a week to complete. Did you return before nightfall?"

Yan Qingyu bit his lip, "President Mu, there was, there was an issue with the qualifying!"

Mu Ning's expression turned serious, "What happened?"

Yan Qingyu took a deep breath, "This time, we drew opponents from the neighboring Longevity Company and Yuan Ye Company."

Mu Ning grew more puzzled, saying seriously, "I'm aware of the capabilities of these two companies. With Feixue's strength, she should be able to handle them easily!"

Yan Qingyu bit softly on his teeth, "I thought so too initially, and indeed it was easy for Feixue at first. However, for some unknown reason, these two companies were acquired by the Dragon Gate Group!"

"Now, He Zhilong and Guo Yingcai from the Dragon Gate Group are competing. Both are formidable experts at the ninth level of the True Realm. With Feixue's current strength, there's absolutely no way she can contend with them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the company's faces changed.

It's well-known that the Dragon Gate Group is among the top three powers in the Martial Zone, only falling behind the top five families in overall strength.

They rank six to seventy places higher than Red Flower Company.

In terms of foundation and strength, they far surpass Red Flower Company.

Mu Ning quickly found the puzzling point, "No, why did the Dragon Gate Group just happen to acquire the two companies we drew?"

Yan Qingyu took a deep breath, "I also checked on my way back; they acquired them almost immediately after the draw concluded. But we haven't wronged the Dragon Gate Group in any way!"

"Where's Feixue?" Mu Ning commanded harshly, "They clearly came straight for our Red Flower Company, why didn't you call Feixue back? If the Dragon Gate Group is indeed targeting us, continuing the competition could be dangerous for her!"

Yan Qingyu was suddenly reminded of this.

She bit her lip, "Feixue said if she didn't stay, the organizers would declare Red Flower Company automatically forfeited!"

"At this point, does it matter if we forfeit or not?" Mu Ning sighed.

Yan Qingyu couldn't help asking, "President Mu, do we, do we really forfeit? If we forfeit, the next time we can compete for these mine resources is three years from now..."

"Will Yaoyao's injuries hold until then…"

By this point, Yan Qingyu dared not continue speaking.

Mu Ning clearly understood these implications better than Yan Qingyu.

After Yan Qingyu finished speaking, Mu Ning seemed to deflate with despair.

After a long while, she sighed lightly, "Even if we don't forfeit, with the Dragon Gate Group acting like this, who can we send to compete in this qualifying selection?"

"Remember, He Zhilong and Guo Yingcai aren't even the truly formidable figures from Dragon Gate Group. There's still an even more ruthless figure above them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The young geniuses stationed by Dragon Gate Group were all formidable adversaries.

She wore a bitter smile.

No matter how unwilling, there seemed to be no solution.

She could only say, "Call Feixue, have her forfeit!"

"President Mu!" Many people stood up.

Everyone knew how much Mu Ning had invested into this resource contest for the mines.

The hopes for her daughter were pinned completely on this contest.

Mu Ning waved her hand, "Make the call!"

Just as Mu Ning despaired and everyone felt helpless.

Suddenly, Qin Qi spoke up, "President Mu, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ning turned around in surprise.

Many others also cast their gaze over.

Everyone was aware that Qin Qi was being cultivated by Mu Ning as a trump card for the actual contest over the mine resources.

But the actual contest was two months away, and Qin Qi's current strength wasn't enough to participate in the qualifying selection.

Even Ling Feixue, at the Seventh Level of the True Realm, was helpless, how could Qin Qi, at the Sixth Level of the True Realm, make a difference?

Mu Ning sighed, "Qin Qi, those two are both experts at the Ninth Level of the True Realm. Never mind that you've used the Emotion Spirit Pill to enhance your technique, even if you used it to enhance your strength, reaching the Seventh Level of the True Realm, there remains a chasm-like gap from the Ninth Level!"

"We can't fight this battle."
