Chapter 14: The Big Competition in Shushan, Gold Mercury Danhua
The day finally arrived.
From the Golden Summit of Emei, thousands of swords came out to announce the official start of the competition.
Logically speaking, the opening ceremony of this competition should be described in a few hundred words.
Unfortunately, to participate in the opening ceremony, you must be led by Master.
As for Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, they didn't have a master, so there was no point in going back and forth to watch the ceremony, and they would be looked down upon, so they simply didn't go up.
The two of them found a shady pavilion on the hillside of Mount Emei to rest and chat.
An Zhisu patiently explained to Ling Yunpo all the things that need to be paid attention to in this Shushan competition.
For example, don't hold back, remember to establish your authority, use your sword as hard as possible, surrender immediately if you can't beat the opponent, don't give the opponent a chance to show off your ruthlessness, etc.
Ling Yunpo appeared to be listening carefully, but in fact he had been looking at Senior Sister An's soft face.
As for the precautions, let Kunlun Mirror help me remember them first, and listen to them later when I have time.
After the opening ceremony, the two of them ascended to the top of the clouds with sword lights.
At this time, the cloud top of Shushan Mountain had long been split open by the master with his supreme sword intent, making it look extremely vast.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu said goodbye, then lined up with other disciples to go to the stage to draw lots, and asked the Kunlun Mirror to play the instructions given by Senior Sister An just now.
It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother, but this An Zhisu is a senior sister. How can she be as verbose as other people's sisters?
After drawing the lots, Ling Yunpo went to find the venue corresponding to the lot.
On the sword competition field, his opponent was already standing there, wearing the green sword robe that Shushan disciples usually wore, holding a flying sword.
He went up and saluted, and the sword fight officially began.
As soon as it started, Ling Yunpo jumped up, activated the Qingping Sword and struck "White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", stabbing directly towards the opponent's chest!
The opponent was shocked and turned pale, and quickly released his life sword to resist, but was destroyed by the tenth-level Qingping Sword. The sword flew into the air and pierced his heart with one sword!
By the time Ling Yunpo put away his sword light, the opponent had been banned from the field and sent out of the field, declaring failure.
The first battle was won without any surprises.
This is normal. As early as in the previous training, Lin Duanshan introduced him to one hundred elite disciples on this year's Immortal Sword Ranking.
The opponent in the first battle was not in his memory. He thought he must be a secondary character, so he immediately used his killing move to kill him, which saved a lot of time and effort.
After exiting the venue, Ling Yunpo went to find Senior Sister An.
As a result, at a sword competition field opposite, I saw Senior Sister An standing there with her sword upside down and smiled gently:
"Senior Brother Yu, can we start?"
Ling Yunpo also has memories of the person opposite him. He should be the 67th Immortal Swordsman from the previous session.
At this time, the other party's face was pale and he said tremblingly:
"Junior sister An, I, Yu, have never been in trouble with you at Qingluofeng. Let's agree before the sword fight. Is it okay if I don't use my sword this time?"
"Oh, don't you plan to use your natal sword this time?" Senior Sister An smiled.
The man opposite immediately started sweating profusely and lowered his head sadly:
"That's all, I admit defeat."
The surrounding audience immediately started shouting angrily, accusing An Zhisu of hiding a knife in his smile to intimidate his opponents, and despised the disciple named Yu for retreating without a fight and having no future.
High in the sky above their heads, when the three Nascent Soul elders saw that the sword competition was over, they announced that An Zhisu of Qingluo Peak had won, and then they turned into sword light and fled.
An Zhisu Yingying came down from the stage and smiled when she saw Ling Yunpo:
"Junior brother, how come the fight is over so quickly?"
"Yes." Ling Yunpo nodded and said in surprise, "Senior sister, your appearance is really grand, and you are actually being guarded by three Nascent Soul elders!"
"I just had a sword fight with someone, and there was only one Jindan Master nearby watching."
"Ah." An Zhisu smiled softly, "The elders are not sure about the safety of the venue, so they just came to take a look in person."
Ling Yunpo was surprised:
"What do you mean? Doesn't it mean that this ban will send the loser out of the field in time before he is killed? Will this ban also become invalid?"
"I'm ashamed to say it." An Zhisu said calmly, "This earth restriction was triggered by a certain magic weapon, called the 'Xuanguang Ruler'."
"In a previous sword duel, I thought the restriction was safe enough and didn't hold back my hand when I drew the sword. However, I accidentally broke the restriction, which resulted in the death of the opponent."
"Since then, the elders have been worried about the effectiveness of this Xuanguang Ruler, so they came to take care of it themselves."
Haha, this is not to worry about the effectiveness of the magic weapon. It is clearly because I am worried that you will be too ruthless and even this ground ban will not be able to stop you!
Ling Yunpo couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he said:
"I see, that's true, elders, why don't you go to Yuqing Temple to buy a better forbidden magic weapon? My Shushan family has a big business, so it's not like I can't afford it."
"The Xuanguang Ruler is also a famous magic weapon in the ancient teachings." An Zhisu explained, "If a ban is imposed on a single person, even an immortal can lock several breaths. It just needs to lock thousands of sword competition venues at the same time. The magic weapon
The manipulator can hardly be distracted and is just careless for a moment."
The two were talking and laughing, and as they walked, the crowd automatically parted to make way for them.
Looking at the fearful and angry faces around him, Ling Yunpo sighed in his heart.
My reputation among my fellow sects in Shushan is probably almost the same as Qiu Changtian's in Kunlun, only negative.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw someone blocking the road ahead, waiting for him, but it was Senior Brother Lin Duanshan Lin.
Seeing An Zhisu and the others coming over, he cupped his hands and said:
"Senior Sister An, I have something to say to Junior Brother Ling."
"Hmm." An Zhisu didn't ask any more questions and walked to the side.
Lin Duanshan called Ling Yunpo to the side and confirmed that An Zhisu was out of earshot at this distance, and then asked in a low voice:
"Junior brother Ling, do you know what the 'Huafu level' is?"
"I hope senior brother can help me clear up my doubts." Ling Yun realized that he had something to say, so he went straight to the point.
Seeing that he was willing to listen, Lin Duanshan explained in detail:
"The first level of this Transformation Mansion is to transform the Dantian into a Purple Mansion for the residence of the Golden Dan."
"The longer you stay at the Huafu level and the long-term nourishment of the true essence, the more perfect the Zifu will be, and the higher the grade of the golden elixir will be after overcoming the tribulation."
"Elixirs are divided into nine levels. If the elixir reaches the lower third level, there is almost no hope of becoming a Yuanying. If the elixir reaches the middle level of the third level, it will be a smooth journey through the tribulation, but it will be difficult to form a high-level Yuanying."
"Only when the elixir reaches the third level, you will have the opportunity to form a high-level Nascent Soul in the future."
"You, Senior Sister An, have very high qualifications for cultivating Taoism. In half a year, you can fill up the sea of Qi, cleanse your marrow and cut your veins, and you can cultivate directly to the Huafu level."
"It's just because your master Su Jian is away, Qingluo Peak's cultivation resources are almost cut off, which makes her cultivation stagnant for a long time, and her efficiency in nourishing the Zi Mansion is also unsatisfactory."
"But this time the Shushan Competition is different. In order to encourage the disciples to compete for the Immortal Sword Ranking, the senior management has prepared special rewards for the Immortal Sword Ranking!"
Hearing Lin Duanshan's tone become more solemn, Ling Yunpo asked in surprise:
"What reward?"
Lin Duanshan gritted his teeth and lowered his voice:
"It is said that the rewards for the top three include gold mercury and Danhua liquid!"
Hearing "Golden Mercury Danhua Liquid", Ling Yunpo also took a breath of air.
This stuff is recorded in the "Jiuding Shendan Sutra" taught by Shi Liuli, and is known as "the best magic elixir in the world". After taking it, monks at the Huafu level can quickly improve the flaws in the Zifu Dantian, and one spoonful is worth a
Jiazi’s true energy warms and nourishes.
To sum up, there is a high probability that it will eventually lead to the level of elixir, which will forcefully increase it by one level!
Knowing that this matter was of great importance, Ling Yunpo felt trembling in his heart, but he asked in confusion:
"I see, it's just that there is no one-in-one enemy of my senior sister on this list of immortal swords. She will definitely get this gold-mercury elixir, so why should you and I worry about her?"
"Alas." Lin Duanshan sighed, and his expression became melancholy, "If it were normal, there would really be no need for you and me to bother."
"It's just Junior Brother Ling, you also know the temperament of your Senior Sister An."
"If she gets the golden mercury elixir, do you think she will take it herself, or will she want to save it for you to wait until you reach the Huafu level and then give it to you?"
Ling Yunpo:………………
Ah, this, this can’t be true, right?
It would be fine if it were something else. This matter is related to the future path. How could Senior Sister An give it up to me so easily...
"With your character, Senior Sister An, you will definitely think so." Kunlun Mirror said leisurely in the sea of consciousness, "It's not like I lack this gold-mercury elixir, so I won't be able to become an elixir in the future, so I might as well leave it to Ling
Junior brother..."
Hearing this, Ling Yunpo started to sweat from behind.
"Understood!" Seeing his uncertain expression, Lin Duanshan said in a deep voice, "In this Shushan competition, you must use all your strength and strive for the top spot on the list as much as possible, so that Senior Sister An can challenge you
Have enough confidence!"
"Otherwise, as long as her confidence in you is a little weak, she will definitely keep this golden mercury elixir and not use it. She would rather fight for her own path without it, and ensure your future achievements!"
