Originally, Yan Ruohai planned to use this as a threat to ask Xu Junming to release his soul. After seeing that he was determined not to say anything, Xu Junming, who did not intend to let him go, did not hesitate and let him go.
Fortunately, he wanted the 'White Bone Sutra' just to meditate on it and not intend to practice it. The two defects would not be a problem.
Other cultivation notes and exercises such as 'Cui Haike's Talk about Fang Zhongshu', 'Yin Mingzi's Cultivation Notes', 'Fu Kongzi Asked Lord Xinling', etc. can also be exchanged.
It's just that Xu Junming is not very interested in the thirty-six true talismans for the time being, and it won't be too late to learn about it after he wins the title of 'Chong' senior fellow.
"Looking at you, you've gained a lot in the past six months since you've been out?"
"Hehe, disciple just has some chance."
It was a pity that when he left Shennongjia, he put the jade slips recording the exercises in the cave and did not bring them with him, otherwise he could take them out and show them to his master now.
"When this competition is over, I will take you back to the sect!" After saying that, Simu sat down on the stone chair next to him, "Sit down and tell me what you have experienced in the past six months?
"
Xu Junming nodded.
Except for the 'Yin Swallowing Pot', the Nine Sons of Heavenly Demon, and Chen Lin, everything else has been mentioned.
"Your experience in the past six months is really exciting." He frowned and said, "The Bone Demon is a problem, but you don't have to worry too much. If he dares to deal with you, he will have his own golden elixir to stand up for you."
"Um!"
"As for his disciple." He pondered for a moment, "With your current level of cultivation, it is not difficult to seize a thousand-year red fruit. Then I will stay in the sect for a while and wait for your uncle Yang Xuan to refine the Baiyang Pill.
It’s enough to make your cultivation reach the peak of innateness.”
"With this magical power, coupled with your Taoist realm, White Bone Taoist Feng Chunwu won't have anything to worry about!"
"This is what my disciple thinks too!"
"Dang Dang...!"
Qingyue's ringtone suddenly rang.
"This is…?"
"The master summoned us with a golden bell. Let's go, the competition is about to begin." Four Eyes said.
Xu Junming nodded and flew out of the cave with his master.
Countless figures flew out from the caves on the cliffs on both sides. After landing, everyone consciously divided into three places and stood still.
The elders were in the north, and the disciples were in the south. The disciples of the two sects in the north and south of Maoshan were clearly divided into two sides.
"Brother, here!"
Liu Dehua stood in the crowd and waved.
"Go for it!"
Bowed to Taoist Priest Simu.
"Disciple resigns."
He glanced at his disciple with relief, then flew up and headed towards the north.
"Brother, come quickly. The competition is about to begin!"
Xu Junming nodded and looked forward. He was tall and the crowd was sparse, so his sight was not blocked by others.
On a wide gravel ground, about twenty senior disciples of the two sects in the north and south of Maoshan stood there. A handsome middle-aged monk wearing green clothes, carrying a crane cloak on his back, and wearing a golden crown stood at the front.
Next to him was a tall, middle-aged man wearing purple clothes, with long hair tied back by a gold band, and a dignified manner.
"The one wearing the crane cloak is Zhao Lie, the headmaster of our Southern Sect; the one wearing purple is Xie Wuji, the headmaster of the Northern Sect!" Liu Dehua introduced.
Xu Junming took a few glances.
"Does the Beizong Headmaster have a foster father named Xie Xun?"
"Really? I haven't heard of it!" Liu Dehua scratched his head and thought hard but couldn't remember who his name was Xie Xun.
Xu Junming shook his head inwardly. Fortunately, this was the world of Jiu Shu in the Republic of China, not the Yitian martial arts world of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would really have thought he had gone to the wrong set.
When his boring thoughts came to an end, no one came to the caves on the cliffs on both sides.
According to visual inspection, there are about forty disciples from the two sects participating in this competition. There is a huge difference between the two groups, and it is impossible to tell who is higher and who is lower.
"Thank you, Brother Dao. All the forty-three disciples participating in this competition have arrived. Can we announce the start?"
Xie Wuji nodded.
"Let Brother Zhao make the announcement!"
"Then Zhao will not refuse." He took a step forward, his majestic eyes slowly swept over the disciples in the audience, "Before coming to Changchun Valley, your respective teachers must have told you the reason for this competition.
.But in order to encourage all the disciples, I decided after discussing with Master Xie."
"In addition to the thousand-year-old Zhuguo mentioned before, there will be additional rewards for the top three in this competition!"
"For the position of No. 1 Scholar, a Thousand-year-old Zhuguo, a Nine-Path Taoist Forbidden High-grade Dharma Artifact, and study in the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion for half a year."
"The second place on the list, a thousand-year-old red fruit, a top-grade artifact of the eight treasures, and enter the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion to meditate in the fourth month."
"In the position of exploring the flowers, I have a thousand-year-old red fruit, a top-grade magic weapon forbidden by the Seven Paths, and I will go to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion to meditate for three months."
"Finally, all those who enter the top eleven in this competition will each receive a Baiyang Pill!"
Before he could even finish his words, the audience exploded.
"Isn't the reward this time too generous?"
"Haha, although I have no chance of being ranked in the top three, if I can advance to the top eleven, it would be good to get a Baiyang Pill."
"That's right, I'm going to be in the top eleven this time too."
"Senior brother, what a generous reward!" Liu Dehua looked excited.
Xu Junming nodded.
“It’s very generous, but a little too generous!”
In previous years, everyone competed for a Millennium Vermillion Fruit. This year, not only did they get two more, but they were also rewarded with three high-grade magic weapons, which can be entered into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to achieve enlightenment. The top four to eleven will also each receive a Baiyang Pill.
This huge prize is obviously much higher than in previous years.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
But for the specific reason, Master Si Mu probably doesn’t know, otherwise he wouldn’t hide it from him.
If you can't guess clearly, don't guess. The most important thing right now is to compete for the top spot in the competition and steadily improve your cultivation.
No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, only higher cultivation will make it easier to overcome them.
"Quiet!"
Peiran's sonic canopy covered the entire venue.
The excited disciples of the two groups in the audience calmed down instantly.
Zhao Lie continued: "If you want to get the reward, you have to fight bravely. As for the rules of this competition: All methods can be used without damaging the life or the opponent's physical body. The winner will advance to the next level.
wheel."
With a wave of his sleeve, countless white talismans flew over the heads of the disciples.
Xu Junming sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, but found that he could not penetrate the spiritual light around the talisman paper. The bronze mirror light in his eyes flashed, and all obstacles disappeared instantly.
On the talisman closest to him, the traditional character 'D' came into view.
"Each person chooses a paper ball."
Xu Junming was attracted by his magic power, and the 'D' character paper closest to him fell into his palm.
"Open your paper balls and take a look."
Everyone, who had been curious for a long time, couldn't wait to open it.
"Who gets the word 'Hai'?"
"I got it!"
A Nanzong disciple wearing a green Taoist robe and carrying a mahogany sword said loudly.
Zhao Lie nodded.
"You got a bye in the first round of competition!"
"Really? That's great!"
The excitement was palpable.
"This guy is really lucky!" Liu Dehua said with envy on his face.
No wonder he is like this.
If you get a bye in the first round, as long as you can win one game, you have a great chance of entering the top eleven and getting the Baiyang Pill.
