Chapter 295 - Courtyard Competition (1)
Ling Dan s were like a flood as they watered the cactus sapling. However, as soon as the Ling Dan s approached the sapling, they turned into waves of spiritual energy s that were absorbed by the sapling.
"It seems like he's really hungry." The right senior elder stroked his beard and chuckled.
Ling Dan was unceasingly watering the sapling, and the sapling was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just an hour, the sapling had grown to the size of an adult. Above the cactus, little flower buds were already appearing on the tree.
"Since cactus have grown to such a large assembly, they should have a period of accumulation of energy. Before the competition begins, they should bear some fruits." Xia Xuan stared at the cactus and muttered.
"The Immortal Fruit is extremely powerful, maybe we can use it in this competition." The right elder also said. Then, a smile appeared on both of their faces.
The next few days, God-Slaying Manor was in full swing. With the resources that Xia Xuan had brought back, the disciples' cultivation speed could be said to have been raised by more than multiple times. Furthermore, it was on the third day after Xia Xuan returned that the cactus took action.
The reason why cactus s were coveted by countless people was because of the great power contained within the immortal fruit. This power was definitely not something that ordinary elixirs could compare with.
"This time, there are a total of twenty-four cactus. In order to encourage disciples to cultivate, I have decided to give all twenty of them to the outstanding disciples. As for the other four, I will give them to you." The right senior elder looked at the 24 immortal fruits lying on the table in front of him with a hint of gratification in his eyes.
"For what?" Xia Xuan who was at the side could not help but ask after hearing what the Right Clan Elder said.
"It's not like you don't know the power of the Celestial Fruit. Whether or not you can win this year's competition is up to you. If four Celestial Fruits can change the outcome, why not?" The right elder replied.
Xia Xuan thought for a moment, then no longer refused, and with a wave of his hand, four of the smallest immortal fruits was placed into his storage ring.
"In the future, you still have to have your own Ling He, or else you won't be able to support the growth of cactus." Right now, the God-Slaying Manor was simply too poor. Xia Xuan could obtain the resources to raise the cactus, but he could not support its growth. In the future, he would need a large amount of resources.
"Speaking of resources, there are a lot of them in The Spiritual World, it's just that we can't get in." The right clan elder said while stroking his beard. In his mind, he looked forward to the The Spiritual World with the most abundant resources in the entire Mainland, but after thinking about it, he felt a touch of regret. In the entire Mainland, there were countless people coveting the resources of the The Spiritual World, but the number of people who dared to barge in were extremely few, even him was no exception.
"There will be resources. We only need to prepare well for tomorrow's competition. We should quickly send these immortal fruits to the disciples." With that, Xia Xuan turned and left.
Afterwards, the Right Elder gave out the immortal fruit to the disciples. After promising that the fruits would reward the outstanding disciples, the disciples' cultivation had become even more fervent, and everyone was actively trying to show that they could also obtain a fruit that could be called the most precious treasure in the world in the near future.
On the second day, Xia Xuan woke up early and stood in the air above God-Slaying Manor. Beside him were Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue. These past few days, Wang Hao and the rest had been training in seclusion, the God-Slaying Manor had provided them with a large amount of resources, all for today's competition.
After regaining the Shrine, everyone's cultivation speed had increased by a lot compared to before. With the addition of a large amount of resources, everyone's strength had increased by a lot. Although it had only been a month, their cultivation had increased by a lot.
Come to think of it, although the strength of the six of them was originally off, they had simultaneously broken through Xuanzun. Now that all six of them, without exception, were Mysterious Sect Warriors, in addition to the change in their physiques after obtaining the Shrine and the soul that they could use at any time, they were not afraid in the slightest when facing off against a fourth stage Mysterious Sect expert alone.
This team of six strong people, who were comparable to fourth stage Mysterious Sect, and Xia Xuan, whose strength was basically not weak, could not be considered weak. Of course, if they really were to participate in the Academy Battle Competition, this team would not be enough to guarantee victory. This was because the Academy Battle Competition was extremely cruel.
Soon enough, all the disciples gathered and the various elders of the Palace also arrived. Under the gazes of anticipation, the right clan elder slowly walked in front of Xia Xuan and the others, stroked his pale white beard and said: "Disciples, today is the day of the competition, and the seven people behind me are the Participant s of the competition."
