In the afternoon, footsteps once again echoed from the corridor. This time, it was Elder Zhang Yi of Danxia Peak.
"Greetings, Elder Zhang." Chen Qing rose and cupped his fist in salute.
Seeing Chen Qing, a flash of surprise crossed Zhang Yi's face. "Have you become the Defender of the first level?"
He knew, of course, that this place was a convergence point for Evil Qi. The frigid yin energy that invaded the body meant it was not a post that just anyone could hold for long. Only someone with robust Qi Blood and a solid foundation could manage it.
"I have," Chen Qing confirmed with a nod.
This was their second meeting. Chen Qing had previously made another trip to Danxia Peak to purchase elixirs from him, so Zhang Yi's attitude toward Chen Qing was a bit warmer than during their first encounter.
After all, Chen Qing had defeated Han Xiong, making him one of the most competitive True Successor Candidates at present, with astonishing potential.
