The oppressive atmosphere in the newcomer disciple camp continued until an earth-shattering sound of a gong resounded through the sky.
Li Qingtong and all the 2,999 monks who were qualified to participate in the true newcomer disciple competition filed out of their respective residences.
Each of their faces showed a mixture of excitement, excitement, and worries about gains and losses.
Their inner excitement cannot be expressed in words.
The competition between newcomers and disciples has long ceased to be the original intention, and it is almost impossible for those monks who participate in the Qi Refining Stage to personally obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But this new disciple, Da Bi, is still the closest opportunity for monks in the Qi Refining Stage to get close to the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Most of the monks were scolding their fellow brothers and sisters who secretly joined various families and sects, and at the same time, they were fantasizing about being able to kill everyone and obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But monks like Li Qingtong have the same idea in their hearts.
They are looking forward to getting a better ranking, not only because the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards they will get, but also because the higher the ranking, the more attention they will attract from the forces they have joined.
Li Qingtong himself also showed similar emotions to others.
The new disciples gathered together, boarded three huge floating ships and sailed hundreds of miles away.
We arrived at this point half an hour away, and this is still the Taoist temple area.
However, this is an official place specially opened by the Taoist Temple for monks of all levels to practice techniques and compete in battles... Normally, there is a fee to come here to practice or fight!
The new disciple was shocked when he got off the boat.
Crowds of people!
There are 720 large and small arenas here, of which 500 are suitable for the Qi refining period!
The stands that rise step by step around each low-slung arena are filled with monks in the Qi Refining Stage from the Taoist Academy.
They are not new disciples, some are directly members of various families and sects who come to boost the morale of those they are familiar with.
Many Qi Refining Stage monks who had just disembarked from the ship were stunned by such a scene.
The monks' focused gazes seemed to bring warmth, making everyone's face feel hot.
The new disciple was looked at so hard that he didn't know where to turn his eyes.
Fortunately for Li Qingtong, he has been a man for two lifetimes, and he has dreamed about the life memories of all the old weirdos again and again. The more he has experienced, the thicker his skin will become.
Judging from the aura of a monk with a fragile mind, it has no effect on Li Qingtong.
What follows is a familiar scene that fills Li Qingtong’s mind with memories.
There is a Taoist temple's Master Jiedan who presides over this competition for new disciples, which happens at least once every three years, and may only happen once every ten years.
"... Let's draw lots!" Li Qingtong was concerned about this most valuable sentence.
But what makes Li Qingtong feel strange is...this lot was not drawn by himself.
He just felt his identity token tremble slightly, and the number one thousand one hundred and eleven appeared on the identity token.
Then the digits turned into a beam of light suspended above Li Qingtong's head.
"Number One will face three thousand, Number Two will face two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and so on, the winner will be determined by one game." At this time, the person presiding over the actual arena match has become a foundation-building monk in the Taoist Monastery.
.
Li Qingtong's mind moved slightly. He had already found his first opponent among the three thousand new disciples.
A little girl whose cultivation is only in the Qi refining stage and has just entered the fifth level!
With such a level of cultivation, I can go all the way to the final stage of the competition. I have to say that this frail little female cultivator... is very lucky!
Facing such an opponent, Li Qingtong didn't show any embarrassment.
One thousand, five hundred pairs of monks participating in the competition are divided into five hundred arenas. After three rounds, the first wave of two-in-one competition will be completed.
The masters in the Danjie period are in the best position to watch the competition of these juniors. Even if five hundred arenas are held at the same time, these powerful beings can easily watch it and find out the relatively good cultivators.
"Before the official competition, I would like to talk about some reward adjustments for this new disciple competition. Due to some irresistible reasons, all the foundation-building pills in the Taoist Academy were lost, and a batch was urgently allocated from within the sect. Due to the limited quantity...
This time, the top 100 new disciples will be rewarded with a high-grade magic weapon, the top 50 will be rewarded with an additional ten medium-grade spiritual stones, the top 30 will be rewarded with a foundation-building elixir, and the top 10 will be rewarded with a top-quality magic weapon.
The third place can get a total of one high-grade magic weapon, ten medium-grade spiritual stones, two foundation-building pills, and one top-grade magic weapon. The second place can get double the resources except the foundation-building pill based on the third place.
The resources earned by the first person are three times that of the third person, including the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
The words of this foundation-building monk spread, and countless practitioners below were in an uproar.
In the past, the top 100 people could get a Foundation Establishment Pill.
The most important thing in the new disciple competition is the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the other cultivation resources are not important.
Although this time we spent a lot of money on magical weapon resources, and even brought out top-quality magical weapons...but countless cultivators didn't buy it.
The difficulty of snatching one hundred Foundation-Building Pills is obviously different from that of snatching forty Foundation-Building Pills.
What's more, the forty foundation-building pills are still in the hands of the thirty-three places.
Countless noises came from the mouths of monks from various families and monks from various sects.
Not only was there such a noise about the power of the new disciples, but also the senior Qi Refining Stage monks from the Butian Dao Sect in the stands were constantly exclaiming.
"Silence! The rewards for the Elite Monk Competition after the New Disciple Competition are still the same, and the number of Foundation-Building Pills in the Immortal Fate Conference has not changed. If anyone is dissatisfied... beat the Taoist Academy!" Someone said among the crowd of Dan-forming real people.
One moment there were hundreds of thousands of voices, like a sea, and the next moment it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
This is the power of the real person in the pill formation stage, and at the same time, the meaning conveyed in those words also appeased most of the forces from all parties.
It turns out it’s not synchronous reduction!
That’s great, it’s really scary!
The competition for new disciples begins.
Li Qingtong was assigned to the Eastern Jiazimu Arena among the five hundred arenas.
This arena also serves as a trial venue for wood attribute spells on weekdays.
The table is a huge piece of ancient iron wood, ten feet in diameter, and is a round surface.
But a rather joyful scene happened. In this special small area where the wood attribute spiritual power was 30% denser than the normal area of the Taoist temple, two Qi refining period monks who had practiced earth attribute techniques stood opposite each other.
The expressions on their faces are wonderful.
The wood attribute spiritual power is 30% dense, and the ability to restrain earth attribute techniques is probably more than 30%.
The only good thing is that both of them are equally unlucky.
While Li Qingtong was watching with great interest, his opponent came to the arena swaying gently like a lotus flower.
