Chapter 280: Sword Testing Conference, Bathing in the Holy Spring (Please subscribe)
The old monster’s concern for Wei Tu was not clear to Wei Tu who was sitting at the Ying Ding Department seat.
After he read the information on the jade slip, the sword trial meeting began in full swing.
The rules of the competition are simple.
The monks participating in the three major divisions each draw a silver lot, and match their opponents based on the numbers on the silver lot, and then decide the winner.
Eighteen contestants competed to identify nine winners in the first round, while the nine failed monks competed to identify a winner for the second round.
The process is repeated in turn, and the top name is finally selected.
Different from Qi-training and Foundation-building monks, Golden Core-level monks have many methods. Even if the participants do not use their own trump cards, the use of some secret techniques alone is enough to dazzle people.
The magic weapons and instruments of casual cultivators.
The various spiritual arts of the three major divisions of mages and priests.
These are the highlights of this competition.
Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy, because they have studied both the immortal way and the spiritual way, absorbed the strengths of both paths, and completely stood out in this competition.
"Fan!" On the stage, Yuan Jie flicked his sleeves and held out a dark green feather fan, fanning it hard at the fire unicorn he had just condensed with his spiritual skills.
The wind helps the fire!
In an instant, the fire unicorn grew from a few feet in size to more than ten feet in size, almost occupying the entire arena. The two front feet stepped down, and the female cultivator from the Fengwu tribe who was fighting with Yuan Jie was directly blasted away.
The same goes for Fairy Baohua.
However, unlike Yuan Jie, the spiritual path he cultivates is not the path of the Five Elements, but the "Path of Hundred Flowers" that is derived from the Wood Element.
When the flowers on the ring were blooming, the monks on the ring were unknowingly poisoned by spiritual poison that was difficult to resolve, and had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Yuanjie, Fairy Baihua..." After watching the battle between the two, Wei Tu's expression became more solemn.
At this time, he understood deeply why the second prince of Prince Youxian was so afraid of Yuan Jie.
Without it, it would be too dazzling.
Wei Tu thought to himself that when facing Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy with his strength, if he did not use the "high-level talisman" in his hand and only fought with his regular strength, it would be really difficult to predict whether he would win or lose. .
You must know that he is a practitioner of both Dharma and Body.
At the same level, almost invincible.
“A person who is extremely accomplished in one path may not necessarily lose to someone who has mastered both.” Wei Tu thought to himself.
To put it simply, he passed the A-level test on each of the two courses of body refining and qi refining, while Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy passed the A-level test on the qi refining course.
It seems like he can win by adding up the two.
But in fact, the reason why the two of them passed the A test was because A was the best among them, and only A passed.
In terms of attainments in spiritual arts, Wei Tu guessed that Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy were no less than the monks in the late Jindan period, and they were truly outstanding.
However, Qi Luck is not exclusive to the Yingding tribe. There are also several monks in the Sheri tribe and the Fengwu tribe who have shown extremely high fighting abilities.
Among these people.
There is the "Old Monster with the Sky Corpse" that Wei Tu paid attention to at the beginning.
This golden elixir cultivator with the corpse path inheritance seems to have trained his body to become a walking corpse, which is indestructible. Coupled with his various weird corpse path secret techniques, he is even more powerful than ordinary people who cultivate both body and law.
As for Yuan Ping, Yue Qian and others.
In terms of strength, although it is stronger than ordinary golden elixirs, in this competition, it seemed a bit mediocre.
It was quickly brushed off.
However, except for Yue Qian's slight mistake, Yuan Ping and the two twin brothers looked calm, and their mood was not affected by their defeat.
Wei Tu will understand after thinking about it for a moment.
Combat talent and cultivation talent are two different things and cannot be confused.
In Ying Ding's three great masters, when they were young, they were not necessarily like Yuan Jie. They were the big masters, priests, and even ... very ordinary.
Of course, the so-called ordinary does not necessarily mean truly ordinary.
Maybe it’s Zangzhuo.
After all, the first rafter will die first.
…
The Sword Trial Conference has entered the final stage.
Baohua Fairy was defeated and finished fifth.
Yuan Jie, the old monster of the Heavenly Corpse, Yu Wencheng from the Shooting Sun Division, and a casual cultivator named "Gong Yun" squeezed into the top four and entered the penultimate round.
Subsequently.
Yuan Jie and Yu Wencheng fought fiercely for half a day. After hundreds of moves, they were defeated in one move. Yu Wencheng broke the magic shield and was knocked off the ring.
When the old monster of the Heavenly Corpse and Gong Yun came here, it was much easier for the old monster of the Heavenly Corpse to win. He only used a dozen moves to find Gong Yun's weakness with his physical training strength and defeated him with one blow.
The last round of competition.
Yu Wencheng fought with the old monster of the Sky Corpse. At the last moment of the battle, he took out a thunder cone magic weapon, which was used to defeat the corpse path of the old monster of the Sky Corpse. In the end, he won a narrow victory and won the first place.
However, the sword trial meeting is not over yet.
The basic ranking is only tentatively determined.
If any competitor is dissatisfied with his or her ranking, he or she can have another battle with the top-ranked monk.
Three days later, the ranking of the monks who successfully defended the ring will be completely determined.
However, although the rules stipulate this, not many monks dared to challenge in these three days. After all, the monks at the top have already demonstrated their strong strength in the ring, and they are not just in vain.
Three days pass.
The final result is determined.
Ying Ding Division, based on Yuan Jie's ranking, became the third among the three major divisions this time, ranking last.
“The reward for the top spot this time is the two treasures “Golden Divine Clay” and “Sun-keeping Pill”…”
Yuan Jie clicked his tongue and sighed with great regret.
The golden clay is the golden balm for making magic weapons. It is a strange third-level spiritual object in the world of immortality.
You only need to put spiritual materials into the God of Metal Clay, and over time, the God of Metal Clay will gradually evolve into the shape of this spiritual material and become a part of it.
The Sun-Shou Pill is a third-level high-grade elixir that purifies the monk's foundation, and it also has a breakthrough effect.
“Fellow Daoist Yuan’s reward this time is not bad. He got a third-level medium-grade magic weapon.”
Wei Tu smiled and held his hands in congratulations.
The reward from the Sword Trial Tournament is just an added bonus for Yuan Jie's third place this time. The greater reward will come from within the Ying Ding Department.
Prestige, power, cultivation qualifications, etc.
After this competition, the Ying Ding Department will allocate corresponding resources to Yuan Jie, the deputy leader of the Cangkun Alliance.
Yuan Jie has proved through actual combat that he is the number one among the young golden elixirs in the Ying Ding tribe.
“Same.” Yuan Jie nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face.
“When I return to the Yingding tribe, Yuan will definitely inform the three great masters to open a school in Hujie Immortal City and teach the improved spiritual way of the Cangkun Alliance...”
Yuanjie’s eyes were determined.
This time, through a battle of wits, he has allowed the priests and mages of the Ying Ding Department in Sunset City to see the results of his fusion of the immortal way and the spiritual way.
Now, it’s time to promote it.
He does not mean that.
When he heard this, Wei Tu used his spiritual consciousness to observe the second prince's reaction.
As expected, the second prince's expression suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes became much sharper. Perhaps in Yuanjie's view, the promotion of "improved spiritual ways" was to benefit the Yingding tribe.
But this kind of thing is different when it falls into the Prince Youxian's palace where the second prince belongs - this is Yuan Jie's deliberate effort to build momentum for the Golden Horde election.
“When you leave Sunset City, remind Yuan Jie.”
Wei Tu touched his chin.
After the incident with Taoist Wolf Killer, although Prince Youxian's Palace and him had made peace with him publicly, Wei Tu did not think that he would be able to get along well with Prince Youxian's Palace in the future.
There is something evil in Prince Youxian's palace, and Master Taoist Wolf Slayer doesn't know whether to live or die...if he gets the chance, he will most likely add insult to injury and put an end to his future troubles.
…
A few days later.
Weitu followed a group of Yingding monks into the inner city of Sunset City. After going through the teleportation array, he arrived at the "Sunset Spring" located underground.
This is an underground grotto shrouded in dense fog and humid air. On the surface of the grotto, various forbidden techniques and formations are carved.
As soon as Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness was released, it was blocked by the fog along the way and could not extend at all.
“It is indeed an important place for the three major departments.” Wei Tu thought to himself with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Sunset Spring is almost the foundation of the three major tribes. With this spiritual spring, the three major divisions can last for tens of thousands of years and be passed on continuously.
It can be said that in terms of value, the Sunset Spring is more precious than the "Taixu Realm" left by the Stone Demon Sect.
“This time, the Yingding tribe is ranked third, so the location where we bathe in the holy spring is relatively remote. It is not as good as the Sheri tribe and the Fengwu tribe.”
Master Donglai stood in front. He turned around, glanced at the priests and mages present, and said in a deep voice.
“Priests and mages who feel that their path is hopeless, I hope that you will give better opportunities to the young people in your clan.”
The voice fell.
All the priests and mages looked at each other in confusion.
Wei Tu and other young people did not take it seriously, and even felt a little secretly happy in their hearts. But some of the other old priests and mages looked sad.
It is a difficult task for anyone to judge whether one's path is hopeless.
Maybe, if they accidentally obtain some rare treasure in the future, they will be lucky enough to make a breakthrough.
This kind of thing happens from time to time in the world of immortality cultivation.
It is not certain that the goddess of luck will not fall on their heads.
But these thoughts,
They can only think about it privately.
In front of Master Donglai, Master Donglai can tell at a glance whether they have potential and whether they have hope for the path. Divine Master Donglai would not gamble with the future of a force on the extremely small probability in their life.
Therefore, under the pressure of Master Donglai, some priests and mages of Yingding tribe had to agree to give up this opportunity and give it to young monks.
The high priest of Tia is also one of them.
After all the cultivators finished expressing their opinions, Divine Master Donglai, an old man in gray, nodded slightly and said: "I am not forcing you. After the young people come in, if there is space, I can give it to you...if not, Wang Ting will also To make up for some of your losses.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the old priests and old mages softened a little, and they became less resistant.
“You young people also need to remember that this opportunity to bathe in the holy spring was won by the tribe for you, and was given to you by the old priests and magicians..."
Master Donglai’s words were quite provocative, and soon the young monks of the Ying Ding Tribe were deeply moved, and they had the consciousness to devote themselves to the tribe.
The speech is finished.
Master Donglai turned around again and injected a spell into the mist in front of him.
In an instant, the fog dissipated, revealing a blue stone door inside the grotto.
The bluestone door opened immediately, revealing a wide stone hall inside. In the middle of the stone hall is a jade platform with carved steps.
Within the jade platform, there is a spring water several feet in size, with golden spring water gurgling.
Around the spring, spiritual energy turns into liquid, like small water droplets, condensing into spiritual mist, which slowly flows with the breeze near Sunset Spring.
“This is Sunset Spring?” Wei Tu was surprised.
The scale of this Sunset Spring is much smaller than he imagined.
You must know that this time, there were nearly a hundred priests and mages taking a bath in the holy spring.
Follow Master Donglai and enter the stone hall.
The vision is clearer.
Wei Tu looked up and saw densely packed caves on the four walls of the stone hall.
At this time, some monks have settled in these caves and are meditating cross-legged.
In addition to the monks in the cave, in the stone hall wrapped in spiritual mist, some monks can also be vaguely seen sitting on the ground, breathing out spiritual energy.
The closer you are to the holy spring, the stronger the spiritual energy will be.
Obviously, these monks had certain privileges.
Among these people, Wei Tu saw Yu Wencheng, Gong Yun, the old monster Tianzhi and others who had been at the sword trial meeting before.
“Third-level talisman master? Alchemy master? You are considered very talented. Like Yuan Jie and others, meditate in the stone hall, and remember not to inhale too much water from the holy spring.”
At this moment, a sound exploded in Wei Tu's ears.
The person who spoke was Master Donglai.
"Thank you so much, Master Donglai." Wei Tu came back to his senses, with a grateful expression on his face, and quickly bowed to thank Master Donglai.
If normal arrangements were followed, he would probably be one of these cave monks and would never enter the stone hall to meditate which is quite close to the "Sunset Spring".
After arranging the meditation practice positions for the priests and mages of the Yingding Tribe in turn, Divine Master Donglai exited the stone hall and transmitted a message to everyone: "A divine consciousness law prohibition has been set up here. You don't need to worry about what others can do when you practice... Just check your foundation and let go of cultivation.”
Divinity and law prohibition?
Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He does not think that the spiritual consciousness law that can block the spiritual consciousness of Jindan monks will have an impact on Yuanying monks.
At most, it can only be hid from the people of the same level who are present, and not even one of the three major divine masters outside the site can be hid.
…
Although Wei Tu was appreciated by Master Donglai and placed in the stone hall, his location was not in the center, but in a remote corner of the stone hall.
However, Wei Tu is already very satisfied with this position.
At the beginning, when he sneaked from Zheng State to the Zama Tribe, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to participate in the "Holy Spring Meeting" of the three major tribes.
Time passes slowly.
A few days later, the Sunset Spring was triggered by the forbidden law and surged out. Bits of gold liquid mixed with the spiritual mist in the air, spreading in all directions of the stone hall.
The monks closest to the holy spring can capture the water of the holy spring immediately, while the remaining monks can only eat scraps.
Wei Tu has better luck.
The monks in front of him were Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy. These two thought that he was also a monk of the Cangkun Alliance, so they gave him a share of the pie.
The water from the holy spring that came to him was relatively sufficient.
“Is this the water of the holy spring?”
When Wei Tu swallowed the first drop of the holy spring water with his magic power, he felt the horror of the holy spring water.
Just a drop of water from the holy spring is equivalent to several days of penance for him.
Moreover, this spiritual liquid has no impurities, unlike elixirs that increase cultivation, which contain more or less erysipelas.
At the same time, after Wei Tu's physical body bathed in the water of this holy spring, his body quickly felt longing for these drops of golden spiritual liquid.
Every part and every organ in the body jumped for joy.
