Within the territory of the Blood Brake Sect, Zheng Chitose was currently in an underground grotto a hundred meters south of the Blood Brake Sect. This was exactly the place he had seen in the recording crystal before. When he sent Zheng Cen back to the door,
, and came here in a hurry.
The grotto is located on the outskirts of Silent Hill. There are high-level spiritual beasts here. For monks under the realm of transformation, this is undoubtedly a forbidden place, but it has become a treasure of Zheng Qiantai because there is a natural natural grotto in the underground grotto.
A blood pool formed.
This natural "blood pool" is different from other man-made blood pools. Most of the artificially constructed blood pools are inhumane and are filled with the blood of a large number of spiritual beasts and even humans.
The natural "blood pool" is formed by a strange red liquid. This liquid smells like blood and also has the energy of blood. The origin of this liquid is from the infiltration of a kind of blood stone.
came out.
Although this kind of blood stone is not as powerful as the energy contained in the blood stone, it is more stable than the blood stone, because the blood stone is condensed from the blood of spiritual beasts or human monks after death, and its cultivation during life affects each piece.
Unless the energy contained in the bloodstones comes from the same source (produced by the same medium), the energy contained in each bloodstone will be uneven.
Having said that, Chitose looked at the "pool of blood" in front of her and took out the blood stone she got from Lin Tianheng, with a look of perseverance in her eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he straightened the arm holding the Bloodstone and looked straight in front of his eyes. Then a stream of scarlet light poured out from his body, surrounding the Bloodstone. However, it only lasted for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
It was very ugly, so he quickly took the red light back into his body.
Immediately, he looked at the bloodstone with a solemn expression and cursed in a low voice: "The old immortal actually put a soul brand on every bloodstone. However, more than a hundred years have passed, and the energy of the brand has been exhausted.
, how can you stop me!"
At the same time, in the vine forest belonging to Bailuo City, in a cave also underground, a man sat cross-legged on the ground. He suddenly opened his scarlet eyes and said angrily: "Ah..., actually,
If you dare to use my blood stone, the day when I come out of seclusion will be the time to harvest the blood brake gate!"
Besides, in the grotto outside Silent Hill, Chitose was concentrating on using the power of the soul to remove the brand from the blood stone bit by bit. After spending more than an hour, the brand of the soul contained in it was finally completely removed.
, which means that this bloodstone now completely belongs to him.
After clearing the brand, he did not rush to use the blood stone. Instead, he meditated for more than two hours to help restore the power of the soul and make sure that he was in peak condition.
He took out the blood stone again and repeated the previous action. This time without any hindrance, he easily injected the scarlet light into the blood stone. After this for a quarter of an hour, he jumped into the "blood pool"
, until he sank to the bottom of the pool, he sat motionless and began to practice.
The endless power of blood in the "blood pool", as his magic skills were running, poured into his body crazily. Also pouring into his body was the power of blood in the blood stone, two different energies.
It poured into his body, making him extremely painful, but he always held the blood-dropping stone tightly.
As time went by, his cultivation level increased steadily, and his aura became stronger and stronger. The discomfort and pain at the beginning had disappeared, and were replaced by enjoyment and pleasure.
Three days later, in the early morning, the liquid in the "blood pool" had dried up, and the bloodstone in Chitose's hand had become transparent and cracked.
His aura has undergone earth-shaking changes and is no longer the same as before, and a layer of blood cocoon has formed on the surface of his body. As his arm moves slightly, the whole person breaks out of the cocoon, and the blood cocoon turns into dust and disperses.
One place.
He slowly opened his eyes, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and murmured: "It's still a little short, if I have more blood energy, I can break through the realm, but this is not bad!"
In three days, Chitose jumped from the early stage of divine transformation to the peak of divine transformation. This is the benefit of the blood pool and the blood stone for practicing the blood demon technique. This is also why people who practice similar techniques are not interested in the blood stone.
The reason why such items are so valued.
After achieving his goal, Masaichi Chitose waved his hand and threw out a red light, hitting the top of the grotto. At the same time, he dodged and left the grotto, and the grotto collapsed.
At the other end, Qingxiu Valley is already bustling with activity. Most of the young talents and young geniuses within the Yuanwuzong's sphere of influence have gathered here. There are also some seniors with advanced cultivation levels. These people are generally the ones who protect the calf.
, or guards and family elders.
Because of Fan Mulong's arrival, Lin Tianheng also woke up from training the day before. In the past few days, he has been trying to break through his cultivation and reach the late stage of foundation building to increase his chances of winning. After all, in such a grand competition,
No one can guarantee what kind of weird genius they will meet, but in the end, they still failed to do so.
At this moment, Lin Tianheng, Fan Mulong, Lingxin and others were looking down at the crowd in the basin, and they were all whispering to each other about the people in the crowd.
"Brother Lin, look, that yellow-haired boy is the one standing next to the ring. He is the young master of the Yancheng painter painting Baili. His motto is, if you go to Baili, there will be no grass, and you will be nicknamed "Ghost" and shaved!", Fan
Mulong pointed to a young man with yellow hair in the basin and introduced him to Lin Tianheng.
After Lin Tianheng heard this, Leng Jun couldn't help but asked: "Then why is this?"
"Because Hua Baili has a fire-attribute spiritual root and practices fire-based magic. Every time he dueled with him, his hair was burned off, and even the weeds and shrubs in the duel area were burned to the ground.
!", Fan Mulong explained.
After Lin Tianheng heard this, he couldn't even laugh or cry, but after thinking about it carefully, it really seemed like that.
"Hey! Brother Lin, look, there is that... green-haired boy not far away from the painting. He is Menghua, the second young master of Diyou City City Lord's Mansion. He heard that his younger brother is also in Yuanwuzong, eh?
His brother is right next to him!" Fan Mulong pointed at a young man next to him and pulled Lin Tianheng.
After hearing this, Lin Tianheng looked at the person Fan Mulong was pointing at, with a surprised look on his face. In his mind, he recalled the newcomer trial and the encounter with Meng Qing in Moon Moon Valley.
He couldn't help but murmured: "Meng Qing? The girl next to him is that Yu Ping! Tsk, we really got together!"
"Do you know them?" Fan Mulong said in surprise after hearing this.
Before Lin Tianheng could answer, Fatty and Zhao Qiang also came over. Fatty poked Lin Tianheng with his elbow, and then said with emotion: "Brother Lin, look, everyone is already in pairs, but we are still alone!
"
"Damn fat man, since I met you, everything you have done proves that you are not interested in women, what do you have to feel sorry for!" Lin Tianheng scolded with a smile.
But Zhao Qiang seemed a little unhappy. When Lin Tianheng saw it, he patted his arm, raised his head and said, "Qiangzi, aren't you a Yue Mei girl? Why are you looking so grim?"
"Brother Lin, I didn't mean this!" Zhao Qiang responded.
However, Lin Tianheng's words were overheard by Zhao Wenshang. The speaker had no intention of listening, but the listener had intentions. When he found out that his brother seemed to be having an affair, Zhao Wenshang became particularly curious. He pushed the fat man aside and looked at Lin Tianheng with his head.
Asked: "Brother Lin, can you tell me who Yuemei is?"
"Ah? Yuemei! She is..." Lin Tianheng said blankly, and then looked at Zhao Qiang, who nodded helplessly.
Lin Tianheng then said: "She is Qiangzi's partner!"
"The relationship between Yuemei and I hasn't been confirmed yet!" Zhao Qiang quickly added.
"Oh..." Zhao Wenshang said with the same expression.
Lin Tianheng came to Zhao Qiang's rescue and said, "Qiangzi, are you doing this because of Meng Qing?"
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang nodded.
After hearing this, Lin Tianheng looked at Meng Qing and others in the basin, thoughtfully.
At this moment, several lights and shadows flashed onto the hosting platform of the basin. Ge Yunshou, Shi Song and Bai Jingshan appeared on the hosting platform. Shi Song and Bai Jingshan looked at each other, and then Bai Jingshan said to Ge Yunshou: "General Deacon Ge
, it’s up to you to preside over the competition matters!”
After Ge Yunshou heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Bai, you're welcome, this is a matter of duty!"
Seeing this, Bai Jingshan and Shi Song made a gesture of invitation, then walked to the back one after another and sat on the chairs on the host's stage.
Immediately, Ge Yunshou cleared his throat and said in his kind voice: "I am the general deacon of the Yuan Wuzong, and I was ordered to come to preside over the Lingquan quota competition. Now please invite all Taoist friends who hold quotas,
Arranged in order in the ring in front of the host stage."
His voice was not loud and relatively soft, but it could be clearly heard in everyone's ears, including those above the basin like Lin Tianheng and others.
"Brother Tianheng, let's go down quickly!" As soon as the words fell, Lingxin actively urged.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Lin Tianheng nodded in response and took the lead in walking towards the basin.
Not long after, the arena in front of the host stage was filled with people. There were ten rows in total, with nearly 80 people in each row. Lin Tianheng led Fatty, Zhao Qiang, Mu Sisi and Fan Mulong into the team.
All of them lined up separately, each occupying a row. Lin Tianheng also paid attention to Bai Surou and the white horse, but they were also not in a row. The purpose of this was to ensure that they would not meet before the finals.
After the contestants were almost lined up, Ge Yunshou waved to the two people on the side of the host stage. The latter nodded after seeing this, then walked into the ring and rearranged some of the people in the back row.
The purpose of this is to distribute each team evenly, so that there will not be too many byes during the game.
After the two men had arranged the number of people, Ge Yunshou scanned the crowd, and then said: "The participants have all arrived, and now I will announce the rules of the competition.
First: The difference between victory and defeat is when one party admits defeat, or one party is kicked out of the training ground. During the game, if one party admits defeat, the other party is not allowed to attack the opponent again, otherwise he will be severely punished.
Second: This competition is a competition. Unless you admit defeat, you will not care about life or death. In other words, this competition will be life-threatening. All participants are deemed to agree with the rules of the competition.
Third: In order to ensure fairness and justice, the current position will become your serial number!"
After Ge Yunshou finished speaking, he looked at the two dispatchers and nodded, and then said: "Now start distributing serial numbers!"
After seeing this, the latter began to distribute the license plates in rows from left to right, from the first to the last person in each row. Lin Tianheng was ranked at the back of the second row, and the license plate he received was 155.
Number.
Soon after, everyone got their own cards. Just as everyone was talking about it, Ge Yunshou continued: "In order to prevent cheating, I have established rules regarding the order in which you will appear in the competition and the rules for your opponents.
as follows:
The first person to appear in the first round is the smallest number in each row, and so on. As for your opponent, it is the person with the adjacent card number. That is, if your card number is No. 1, then the opponent is No. 2, and if it is No. 1
If you win and enter the second round, opponent No. 1 will be the winner of the adjacent group, that is, the winner of No. 3 and No. 4, and so on!"
After Ge Yunshou finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the martial arts training ground. Lin Tianheng's head was spinning rapidly, thinking about the rules set by Ge Yunshou, and murmured: "This move is really amazing.
Ah, the draw has been completely circumvented, and it is difficult to cheat unless you bribe your opponent..., and now there are 88 people in each row, and I am in the second row, which means that my opponent is behind me!"
As Lin Tianheng spoke, he turned around and glanced at the person behind him without thinking. When he saw that it was a girl, he said casually: "Sister, I'm sorry!"
The latter was stunned for a while. After she came to her senses, and was about to say something, Lin Tianheng had already turned back, leaving her in a daze.
After the rules were announced, Ge Yunshou continued: "Now, please return to the viewing area and wait for the referee's summons!"
As soon as the words fell, all the participants returned to the viewing area, which was around the martial arts training ground. Lin Tianheng was assigned to the second viewing area by the staff to correspond to the second martial arts training ground. Fatty and others were also assigned to the corresponding viewing area.
After all the contestants dispersed, Ge Yunshou continued: "Now the referees from each competition area are invited to enter the corresponding training ground to summon the contestants and conduct referee work!"
Ge Yunshou paused and continued: "I announce that the competition has officially begun!"
After saying that, Ge Yunshou walked to the viewing seats on the host stage and joined Shi Song and others.
All referees also arrived at the corresponding arena and began their work.
"Arena No. 1, the competition has begun. Participants numbered No. 1 and No. 2 are invited to come on stage to compete!" In the martial arts training ground on the far right, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe shouted to the No. 1 viewing area at the top of his lungs.
arrive.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in green and another young man in white stood up from the viewing area and jumped to the No. 1 martial arts training ground.
Then the referee's voice sounded on the second stage, and all the way to the tenth stage. After all the contestants came on the stage to prepare, all the referees gave the order, the contestants showed their talents, and the battle began.
"With these two mid-level foundation builders, it's hard to tell the difference between victory and defeat!" Lin Tianheng looked at the two contestants in Arena No. 1 and thought to himself after noticing their cultivation level.
At this time, the fat man who was in the third viewing area walked up to Lin Tianheng. The latter looked at the fat man in confusion and said: "Fat man, now is a good time to observe the opponent. If you don't go to watch the game, why are you here?
"
"Brother Lin, there's nothing interesting here. I'm just joining in the fun anyway, and I didn't think about competing for a spot. I'm here to tell you that someone will open a betting market later, so don't miss it!", the fat man replied nonchalantly.
, and said softly at the same time.
"Fat man... tell me when the time comes!" Lin Tianheng said helplessly.
The fat man nodded and returned to his seat.
"We have to find a way for the fat man..." After the fat man left, Lin Tianheng thought to himself.
Watching the competition on the stage, the winner was quickly decided, but Lin Tianheng was absent-minded.
Mu Sisi and Lingxin on the side were looking at Lin Tianheng. Seeing that the other party was absent-minded, Lingxin and Mu Sisi also walked over.
After Lin Tianheng noticed the two women, he tilted his head and said to them: "Why are you here too?"
"Brother Tianheng, what's on your mind?" Lingxin asked directly.
Lin Tianheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how to let Fatty win and win a chance to practice!"
"Then have you come up with any good ideas?" Lingxin asked.
"No!" Lin Tianheng shook his head and said, stood up, and walked out of the viewing area. (To be continued)
