Not only Li Qingtong was surprised, but also the new disciples who were in the same Qi refining stage were also extremely surprised.
Because changes in the format of the competition will directly affect preparations.
Many methods that can be used in the ring cannot be used in close combat.
Similarly, to sum up from this introduction, the qualifying competition method without rules is the maximum rule, which also allows some big forces to have more room to operate.
The outcome of the competition will be even more confusing.
Because the qualifying competition is a free-for-all, some monks who are too high-profile may be targeted and besieged by all the monks who have no hope of winning a good ranking.
Li Qingtong took a deep breath at this change.
"I have always kept a low profile, so I shouldn't be targeted by everyone, right?" Li Qingtong looked a little unsure.
Anyway, he was determined not to offend too many new disciples, and the occasional small fights should be nothing.
The lingering shadow that still lingers in Li Qingtong's heart is a vague realization in his heart.
The venue for the qualifying tournament should have something to do with the two thousand-acre lake that was smelted by the natal corpse fire of the Golden Armored Corpse King!
That's definitely not a good place.
Practitioners below the fourth level of the Qi refining stage can be cooked inside within an hour or three.
Even a sixth-level monk in the Qi refining stage cannot stay long without a powerful fire-preventing weapon.
This place is a cremation furnace for all monks below the alchemy stage.
Li Qingtong didn't understand whether the sect would be what he thought.
Li Qingtong had the deepest understanding of the new forbidden land created by the Golden Armored Corpse King's destruction of flowers and plants.
That definitely shouldn’t be something that monks in the Qi Refining Stage can enjoy!
"I hope everything is an illusion." Li Qingtong brushed away some of the haze in his mind, but he still made some preparations to deal with the extremely penetrating and destructive Golden Armored Corpse King's natal corpse fire.
Li Qingtong refined more than 3,000 fire shield and fire shield spells that can enhance the defensive effect in areas where the power of fire is concentrated.
These are two fire-attributed body-protection secret techniques that monks in the Qi Refining Stage can perform with extremely excellent defensive power.
There are more than 1,500 pieces of each type, which seems to be a lot despite the quantity.
In fact, these protective talismans are still far from enough in Li Qingtong's eyes.
Based on his understanding of the remaining fire power of those golden-armored corpse kings, this pair of fire shields and fire element shield spells can last at most one breath under that kind of burning!
During Li Qingtong's careful preparation, the Taoist Academy determined the specific information for the qualification selection of new disciples.
Li Qingtong's worries have indeed come true!
During the Qi Refining Stage, the qualification selection process for new monks and disciples takes place in the sea of fire.
The Taoist temple was in an uproar over this.
"Ancestor, the power of the strange fire in that place is the foundation-building stage monks. Even with top-level defensive spiritual weapons, it is impossible to withstand it for a moment. Let the Qi-refining stage monks enter, and they are still a bunch of immature children who have just entered the path of cultivating immortals.
, they can't bear it even more." Taoist Huolong almost said directly that he was asking those juniors to die.
"Insolent! This is a decision we made after careful deliberation. Isn't it better than a junior like you?" The horse-faced Nascent Soul stage old man yelled angrily. Every word of his words seemed to carry a mountain of gravity, which made Ji Dan
In the later period, Taoist Huolong's complexion turned white layer by layer.
After reprimanding him in one sentence, Taoist Huolong spurted out a mouthful of blood and his figure was on the verge of collapse.
"If you have something to say, please speak it carefully. You can't be so harsh on your juniors. Take it and refining it, so as not to leave hidden wounds. As for those juniors in the Qi Refining Stage...the casualties will not exceed 10%." Another monk in the late Nascent Soul Stage breathed.
With one shot, the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage monk was wiped away from the horse's face.
He took out a healing elixir and gave it to Taoist Huolong, making those around him who dared not speak out but were somewhat fortunate after being injured by Taoist Huolong to come forward with envy and jealousy.
If they had known about such benefits, they would be willing to be volunteers!
"Thank you, Patriarch!" Taoist Huolong is the one with the highest level of cultivation among the practitioners who came from this Taoist temple.
When the Nascent Soul monk who guarded this Taoist temple died, and the whereabouts of the visitor, the Five-Colored Suzaku Demon King, became unknown, his burden suddenly became much heavier.
The several old monsters in the late Nascent Soul stage from the main sect of Butian Dao Sect in front of him were the problems he needed to face.
"The alien fire has a spirit, and it is not easy to succeed in forcibly collecting the time and effort. We used those monks in the Qi Refining Stage as bait, and let the alien fire take the initiative to devour the energy and spirit of these juniors. We will figure out how to defend ourselves.
There is a way." The old man in the late Nascent Soul stage with a gentle tone cleared up the doubts in Taoist Fire Dragon's mind.
"The seniors are far-sighted, it's the junior Meng Lang." Hearing this answer, Taoist Huolong felt a little relieved.
Although there will still be more than 10% casualties, it is already much better than expected.
Once every three years, when all the new disciples in the local Taoist academy gather around the lake of flames, too many new disciples in the Qi refining period still can't believe it.
Enveloped by the large formation, the golden sea of fire caused all the hair on their bodies to become parched, but the bone marrow and internal organs in their bodies were extremely cold, as if the Nine Nether Winds were blowing against the bones and corroding the marrow.
This is definitely a different species of fire that goes beyond their knowledge!
The qualification selection competition for new disciples will be held in this land of fire?
What a joke!
This is not a trial, this is a death penalty!
"Please note that the rules of this competition for newcomers and disciples have been changed. Each person has a fire-receiving bead and snatches the fire-receiving beads from others. The ranking will be determined by the number. Keep one thing in mind... there are only three monks who have lost the fire-receiving beads.
Take a breath and crush it to exit the teleportation talisman. If you take more than three breaths, you will never be able to come out!" Taoist Fire Dragon warned sternly to the crow heads below.
At this time, there were only about 8,000 new disciples left who should have been more than 10,000.
Except for Mr. Lu's plan to kill dozens of young monks in the Qi refining stage, the rest were trampled to death by the Golden Armored Corpse King after he transformed into a giant!
Among these unlucky monks, there are many young masters in the late stage of Qi refining who are attracted by various forces.
Like Li Qingtong, there was a monk who was in the half-step alchemy stage and was enlightened.
With Taoist Huolong appearing and speaking out, the new disciples feel a little more at ease.
Being able to opt out...that's nice.
The next step is to distribute the so-called fire beads.
When it was given to Li Qingtong, he looked at it repeatedly and touched it like the other monks.
Unlike other monks who were surprised to receive a life-saving thing, Li Qingtong's mind made a detailed and thorough study of this fire-absorbing bead.
The more detailed the study, the more enlightenment he can get that makes Li Qingtong's eyes brighten.
The refining of the Fire Beads is truly ingenious!
