The mood of several people when they came to the underground collection room again was different. The one who had changed the most was Xia Hourong. Ten years ago, he was lingering here. Ten years later, his beloved wife was living a happy life by his side.
The three people were arranged in a triangle. Xia Hourong and Bai Xinyi sat side by side. Tong Yi sat behind them, with her left hand on Xia Hourong's back and her right hand on Bo Xinyi's back.
After entering the Nascent Soul stage, the golden elixir seeds in Tong Yi's Dantian were already showing signs of sprouting. The petals falling from the huge flower trees in Tong Yi's Dantian were scattered all over the ground.
She then mobilized the power of spring in these petals to rejuvenate the meridians of Xia Hourong and Bai Xinyi, allowing them to be infected with the breath of spring, which would be more conducive to the birth of heirs.
The twelve yin and yang meridians, plus the Ren and Du meridians, ran for a total of three hours before it was completely completed.
Xia Hourong and Bai Xinyi could feel the difference in this power, but they also knew that there were some things they couldn't ask, let alone talk about, but that was already good.
The weather was unpredictable for a few days, and then the sky brightened and the sky was clear. The family ranking competition held every twenty years in the outer continent began on such a good day.
"Baby, get up quickly, don't you want to watch the Qie family's Jindan period competition? Let's set off after breakfast. There happens to be one game in the morning and two games in the afternoon -" Qi Guanyu laid his hands on the quilt The people pulled out and changed the little lazy man's clothes one by one.
After putting on her clothes, Yan Feiyue also woke up. She turned around in front of the mirror very coquettishly, and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's listen to the gossip -"
As soon as they left the bedroom, they met Tong Yi who had also just gotten up. The three of them finished their porridge and went to the playing field.
Yan Feiyue also learned today that at the end of Central Street, there are arenas as big as ten basketball courts, standing side by side, not too far apart, with viewing platforms on both sides.
Because they were in-laws of the Wen family, Longxin, Shen Tuqi, Weisheng Suwen and the eggplant purple boy arrived earlier than them.
When Longxin saw Tong Yi and the others from a distance, he stood up and waved, telling them to hurry over; Yan Feiyue cooperated and waved to show that he had seen them.
"..." Tong Yi said silently, this kind of behavior is stupid! very childish!
"How are you, young man? It's your parents and grandpa's turn to compete soon. Are you nervous?" Yan Feiyue patted the young man on the shoulder and asked knowingly.
Loongxin and the others occupied two rows. She, Shen Tuqi, and the purple boy sat in the first row; Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu, Tong Yi and Wei Sheng Suwen sat in the second row.
"To tell you what, I think it's not bad. My grandfather's ninth-level golden elixir was against the third-level golden elixir. My father's seventh-level golden elixir and my mother's sixth-level golden elixir were both byes." As an elder, he is still very confident.
"So there shouldn't be much of a problem -" Tong Yi nodded, indicating that the result was clear at a glance.
If the Wen family can marry their daughter to the Qie family, it must be a good thing for the Qie family. Originally, it was because of the Wen family that they fell into this ranking. Now that the Wen family has risen, it is time for the Qie family to rise as well.
This was the first time that Wei Sheng Suwen knew that Qie Zi's grandfather had a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Golden Core. In fact, if this was the case, it would have been more cost-effective to let the old man go when he first entered the secret realm. But who and what allowed the Qie family to surpass the Wen family? The quota for Wen Zhengting (Mother of Eggplant Purple) was also purchased through connections with the Wen family, so the old man had no choice but to abdicate the quota in favor of his own son.
"Young man, how was the result of your family's foundation building competition?" Shen Tuqi took the opportunity to ask today as Shen Tuqi was busy with family matters these days.
"To be honest, the results are pretty good. In the ten games in the first stage, our family, ranked 180th, played against the Ma family, ranked 179th. We won nine of the ten games, tied one, and scored 95.
In the second stage, our family, ranked 180th, played against the Niu family, ranked 170th. We won eight out of ten games, tied two, and scored 90 points.
Our family's current total score is 175, which is pretty good. Under normal circumstances, ten foundation-building monks from a small family can gather together, so the competition in the foundation-building stage cannot widen the gap. The competition in the golden elixir stage can show the strength of each family. "Wang Zizi is not complacent just because his grades are good, he is still very clear-headed.
"Why is the gap between Jin Dan and Jin Dan so big?" Longxin was a little surprised. After all, the other family couldn't even get enough three Jin Dan monks.
"Senior, this is the fact. The lower the ranking, the fewer resources you will be allocated, and the harder it will be to train a golden elixir monk. If the family does not have a deep foundation, or a child with good spiritual talent is suddenly born, these rankings will depend on It is difficult for a family to make progress in the future." The eggplant-purple boy explained seriously.
"Isn't this a vicious cycle? If the resources cannot keep up, we will not be able to marry female cultivators with excellent spiritual roots. Naturally, it will be impossible to improve the quality of the next generation's spiritual roots. To put it bluntly, resources are always controlled by the most capable families. In hand." Weisheng Suwen was at the top of the modern continent, so he understood this very well.
"Senior is right." The eggplant-purple boy agreed, but he didn't feel any unfairness because his family was originally ranked among the top fifty among the small families.
"Then tomorrow's opponent of your family in the golden elixir stage is the Niu family, which is ranked 170. How is the situation of their golden elixir monks and Nascent Soul monks?" Yan Feiyue wanted to ask clearly so that she could consider whether to come tomorrow.
"The Niu family also has only one Golden elixir monk. He has a fourth-level Golden elixir cultivation level. Only the top five small families have Nascent Soul monks. But when there is a family ranking competition forty years later, my grandfather will We should be able to advance to Nascent Soul, and then our family's ranking will be able to advance again -" The eggplant-purple boy was full of hope for the future.
"Yes, with your grandfather's current level, it takes forty years to have a baby, which is about the same." Tong Yi said.
"Borrowing senior's good words——" After receiving senior's affirmation, the eggplant-purple boy became even more happy.
"Then your family's 300 points in the golden elixir stage can easily be accounted for?" Yan Feiyue calculated that the Qie family's score is 485, which is already a very good result and should be able to return to the previous level. .
"You said there is such a big gap between your family and the family at the back. How did you fall from the top 50 to the 180th place?" Loong Xin was very unbelievable.
"To be honest, senior, when something happened at my grandpa's house, many monks from our Qie family who were practicing outside were trapped outside. We also know the reason. It would be better if we don't look for it. If we do, we will be afraid of the people behind it. By default, nine out of ten people will not be able to compete, so that's the result." Eggplant Purple didn't remember anything about it at that time, so she only found out about it after listening to her grandfather.
"..." Well, this reason is really unexpected, but the original choice of the Qie family was the only correct choice. Otherwise, how would the trapped monks return safely, and how would they be able to regroup today? .
"My grandpa is on the field -" The purple boy looked at his fairy-like grandpa in the middle of the field and was very proud. As a result, the opponent immediately gave up before the game started.
"Okay! You can go home. I think you can still compete in the Zhong family. Come out now! Let's practice hard during this period!" If Yan Feiyue had known that this was the case, she would not have come today.
It’s so tiring!
"Agree -" Except for the eggplant-purple boy, the other five people all reconsidered.
For the next few dozen days, the six of them didn't show up, until the Nascent Soul Competition between the 20 middle families, and the Xiahou family, as the 20th ranked family, was going to be the first to compete.
Xia Hou Rong, Qi Guanyu and Tong Yi represented the Xia Hou family in the battle. Yan Feiyue and Bai Xinyi did not participate in the battle. The Xia Hou family sat in the stands and watched. Wei Sheng Su Wen, Shen Tu Qi, Long Xin and the eggplant purple boy were the representatives. The Wen family came to watch the game, and everyone sat together.
The match between the Xiahou family and the Ling family attracted worldwide attention and was packed with seats.
Twenty years ago, the Xiahou family was trampled into the mud by the Ling family here. Twenty years later, whether the Xiahou family can stand up again here depends on these three Nascent Soul stage games.
The first ones to appear were naturally the heads of the Xiahou family and the Ling family. Xia Hourong and Ling Houwang were both at the seventh level of Nascent Soul.
"Xia Hourong, my master will be merciful and won't make you look too bad -" Ling Houwang said in a very self-righteous manner with a superior attitude.
"Then thank you very much, Master Ling -" Xia Hourong smiled nonchalantly.
"Uncle is too humble and makes the Ling family too proud!"
Yan Feiyue dislikes the head of the Ling family. They are obviously about the same level of cultivation, and he is a generation older than Uncle Xiahou. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who has better talent at a glance, but this Ling family member is arrogant. to the unwillingness to acknowledge the excellence of others.
"Wouldn't it be a bit shocking when your uncle wins?" Bo Xinyi said proudly as he looked at his Taoist companion standing on the ring.
To be honest, there are very few monks like Xia Hourong who have become heads of families at the age of more than 500 years, and even fewer who are already high-level Nascent Soul monks at such a young age.
"That's exactly what my aunt said. When it breaks their horizons, let them know what low-key strength is." Yan Feiyue was happy now.
On the ring, Ling Houwang summoned his natal spiritual sword to attack first. Xia Hourong used his spiritual energy to mobilize the surrounding earth elements, and instantly erected an earth wall in front of him to block Ling Houwang's sword attack. When the earth wall fell apart and the dust scattered, he directly Summoning his natal spiritual sword, he stabbed Ling Houwang in the heart.
With a "ding-" sound, Xia Hourong's sword was deflected by the golden shards of iron condensed by Ling Houwang, and only pierced the opponent's shoulder.
Xia Hourong took this opportunity to mobilize the properties of Dantian Wood. He stretched out a small branch from the palm of his left hand and stabbed Ling Houwang's Dantian.
Ling Houwang waved his sword to stop him, and Xiao Zhiya ran away flexibly. Every time, Xiao Zhiya could only leave several small wounds on his body, but could not hurt his vitals at all.
