Chapter 564: Competition between the two countries
Huangfu Cheng said: "Immortal cultivators often encounter various dangers, so life-saving is the first priority. Feihong, there seem to be two kinds of life-saving combat skills you practice. One is to pass on your Huangfu sword from your master.
The second is the Iron Monkey Fist you practice. In comparison, Huangfu Yijian is more powerful, so I think you should practice Huangfu Yijian to the extreme first. This is not because Huangfu Yijian is taught to you by my master, so
As a teacher, I want you to practice first, but consider it from the perspective of protecting your life, do you understand?"
Qi Feihong nodded: "What Second Master said makes sense. I will first practice the Huangfu Sword to the extreme, and then practice other combat skills when I have the power to save my life...Second Master, what you said today has awakened this disciple. Disciple
I will pay attention to it in the future. Thank you for your reminder and please rest assured."
Huangfu Cheng smiled: "I wanted to tell you these words many years ago, but because I also wanted to see what the consequences of your doing this would be, I kept it to myself until today. Fortunately, Feihong, although your interests are complex, but
Fortunately, you have achieved something, so it is not a waste of time and energy. When you become successful in swordsmanship, my master will still fully support you in practicing other combat skills or exercises. I also want to know what an all-round master is like."
Qi Feihong smiled: "Disciple will not let you down, Second Master."
Huangfu Cheng laughed, and Qi Feihong followed suit. The master and apprentice seemed very happy. The laughter spread far away, alarming many nearby monsters. Even the Nine-Tails who had been in a daze by the river, this time
Shiya couldn't help but look back.
From then on, Qi Feihong concentrated on practicing Huangfu Yijian every day. He usually practiced sword moves in the morning, and sat in meditation in the afternoon and night to understand the sword's intention without any distractions.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for them to leave here. Qi Feihong's swordsmanship training was still a little behind. Although his power was much greater than before, it was still far from Huangfu City's expectations.
Time waits for no one. Huangfu City cannot force Qi Feihong to practice swordsmanship here. It can only tell Qi Feihong to continue practicing after returning to Qilin City until he becomes a master of swordsmanship.
In fact, Qi Feihong has worked very hard, but because comprehending the sword's intention is not something that can be accomplished overnight, he has not yet reached the requirements of Huangfu City.
Huangfu Cheng's own cultivation took much more time than Qi Feihong's. If calculated based on Huangfu Cheng's cultivation time, Qi Feihong's progress was actually fast.
The night before returning to Qilin City, Qi Feihong specially talked to Wu Wei and Jiuwei and asked them if they were ready to leave with him.
Qi Feihong originally thought that Wu Wei would go to Qilin City with him, while Jiuwei would choose to stay in the no-man's land. After all, Jiuwei seemed unwilling to contact Qi Feihong these days. Unexpectedly, Wu Wei and Jiuwei came together
He agreed to go to Qilin City with Qi Feihong, saying he wanted to see the human world.
Wu Wei was grateful to Qi Feihong for saving his life, and it was normal for him to go to Qilin City with Qi Feihong, but Jiuwei had been in a daze by the river for more than a month, deliberately keeping a distance from Qi Feihong, and seemed to be unwilling to contact Qi Feihong, but he didn't
He promised to go to Qilin City with Qi Feihong, which was a bit beyond Qi Feihong's expectations.
Qi Feihong was not afraid, he just felt strange. After all, Jiuwei seemed to be reluctant to stay with them before. Maybe Jiuwei had his own thoughts and plans, but he didn't say it clearly, so Qi Feihong didn't know.
When Qi Feihong and his party returned to Qilin City, it happened to be the day of the competition between the young people of Qilin Kingdom and Feixian Kingdom. At this time, Qilin City was decorated with lights and colorful, and the crowds were surging and lively, just like a New Year's Day.
Wu Wei and Jiuwei were very curious when they saw a human city for the first time. They showed surprised expressions outside the city, as if they were shocked by the majesty of the city built by humans.
Qi Feihong smiled and introduced Qilin City and Qilin Country, so that Wu Wei and Jiuwei could have a general understanding. After listening to Qi Feihong's introduction, Wu Wei and Jiuwei both showed envy and curiosity, and they seemed to be both
I want to see Qilin City and Qilin Kingdom quickly.
Qi Feihong led Wu Wei and Jiuwei into the city. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Qi Feihong, they naturally wanted to bow to the king. Qi Feihong's identity was instantly exposed, which surprised both Wu Wei and Jiuwei. Especially Jiuwei.
, her face changed, as if she was worried that Qi Feihong would cause trouble for her.
Qi Feihong just smiled slightly at this and led the two of them into the city, deliberately letting Huangfu City walk in front of him to show respect.
When outside, Huangfu Cheng was Qi Feihong's second master, and he did not deliberately treat Qi Feihong as the king of the country. Relatively speaking, he did not pay much attention to etiquette. But inside Qilin City, Huangfu Cheng could not continue to be like this, and he deliberately stepped aside.
, let Qi Feihong go first.
Upon learning that Qi Feihong had returned to Qilin City, the ministers of the Qilin Kingdom rushed to the city gate to greet him. State Counselor Zhao Hai and Prime Minister Shangqing Sanren were at the forefront. After seeing Qi Feihong, they took the lead in saluting, causing everyone around them to greet him.
The people also followed suit and knelt in large groups.
Wu Wei and Jiuwei were very surprised. They wanted to say something, but seeing Qi Feihong's serious expression at this time, they both closed their mouths. The majesty of the king cannot be violated, so everyone remained serious at this time.
Everyone invited Qi Feihong to enter the Qilin Hall. Along the way, countless people bowed to Qi Feihong. Qi Feihong always smiled and asked everyone not to be formal.
Arriving at the Qilin Hall, Qi Feihong remembered Wu Wei and Jiuwei who had returned with him. He turned around and saw that they were stopped by the guards at the entrance of the hall. He smiled and said to Zhao Pan who came to greet Qi Feihong: "Take them to rest."
, they are my guests and cannot be neglected."
Zhao Pan said hello, turned around and ordered a maid to take Wu Wei and Jiuwei down to rest. He turned back to Qi Feihong and quietly said to Qi Feihong: "Master, you are finally back. Master Jin Xing arrived yesterday.
, I have always wanted to have an interview with the king, but I can hardly keep it a secret."
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let's invite Lord Jin Xing to come over and let me have a good chat with him. Along the way, I saw people decorating with lanterns and colors. It seems that the competition between the young people of the two countries has begun. I wonder where you will arrange it."
Competing everywhere?"
Zhao Pan said: "The Prime Minister arranged the venue for the competition at the martial arts field east of the Imperial Palace. The original plan was to officially start tomorrow. However, because the Imperial Palace has not returned yet, I and others are preparing to postpone it. Now that the Imperial Palace is back,
Now, let the country’s leader decide when to start.”
Qi Feihong said: "Tomorrow is tomorrow. I also want to see the strength and potential of young people, and I will watch the battle with Lord Jin Xing tomorrow. Are there many people participating?"
Zhao Pan said: "There are a total of two thousand participants selected from the two countries."
"Two thousand people?" Qi Feihong nodded: "Very good, two thousand people can represent the young people of the two countries to a certain extent."
While Qi Feihong and Zhao Pan were talking, Jin Xing strode into the Qilin Hall. As soon as he entered the door, he loudly said: "Master Qi, why did you avoid seeing him yesterday? I thought I had offended the Master of Qi, and I was worried that I could not understand the real situation. I didn't expect the Master of Qi.
He also ordered people to invite me to come and meet him. I really don’t know what kind of medicine the Lord Qi is selling in this gourd?"
Qi Feihong stood up to greet him, asked Jin Xing to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's just because of seclusion and cultivation that I came out today. Several adults were worried that telling the truth would cause dissatisfaction with the Lord Jin, so they hid it from you, Lord Jin."
Jin Xing laughed and said: "Both I and Lord Qi are immortal cultivators. It is common to practice in seclusion. To be honest, I don't blame Lord Qi." He paused and said: "Tomorrow, the young people of the two countries will compete. Lord Qi seems to be both.
Don’t you know the rules of the competition yet?”
Qi Feihong said: "I ordered people to prepare for this matter before retreating. When I ask, I will know the details of the competition."
Qi Feihong glanced at Zhao Pan, who stepped forward and said, "Master Jin Minjin is responsible for this matter. The king can ask Master Jin."
Jin Min stepped forward and said: "Reporting to the Lord, because this competition is a friendly match between the young people of the two countries, the focus is to check the strength and potential of the young people, rather than a life and death battle, so I have prepared three competitions.
"
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "Master Jin, please tell me in detail."
"The first competition directly uses test crystals to test the qualifications and current realms of all participants to determine whether the participants can enter the second competition. According to the rules of the competition, the qualifications of all participants cannot reach the level of cultivating immortals.
Those who meet the most basic requirements will be eliminated; anyone who is between one hundred and two hundred years old and has not entered the Yuan Shen realm will be eliminated; anyone who is between forty and one hundred years old and has not entered the Qi Refining realm will be eliminated.
"Anyone under the age of forty who has not entered the body refining realm will be eliminated. If you have any questions about the qualification test, you can also raise an objection and have several seniors personally test their qualifications and potential to ensure fairness and justice."
