At the foot of Huqi Mountain, it was deathly silent.
The bleak wind of early autumn blew by, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill. People looked at Ling Xiao standing on the 38th stage in disbelief, their heads turned into a ball of mush, and it was difficult to digest everything that happened in front of them.
Yuan Li, a strong man who had long enjoyed a reputation and was recruited by all major forces, was killed in the ring by an unknown person from overseas in just two or three rounds?
Whether it was the contestants watching the battle in the audience, or the audience watching from the mountainside, the eyes looking at Ling Xiao at this moment showed a trace of silent awe and solemnity.
Even though they didn't know how Yuan Li was defeated, they witnessed Ling Xiao's ruthlessness with their own eyes!
It was an act of incomparable disregard for life. The throat was cut cleanly and in one go, leaving Yuan Li without even a chance to admit defeat!
It seems that it has been practiced countless times behind the scenes!
This guy has killed many people.
Any casual cultivator can come to this obvious conclusion. He looks at Ling Xiao with more and more fear. Even those casual cultivators who have been famous for many years have solemn expressions on their faces at this moment.
"Another guy worthy of attention, a body-forging monk?"
"This boy is very experienced in killing people!"
"I want to know his details within an hour, go check it out!"
On the top of Huqi Mountain, in a towering attic where you can see the Chengyun Competition Arena, one after another Jindan monks sat here, showing great interest in the figure on the 38th Arena.
When major immortal sects recruit casual cultivators, the most important thing is not the qualifications of the casual cultivators, but their determination and ruthlessness that they have worked their way up from the bottom. Without any training, recruiting them is the mainstay of an immortal sect!
As the saying goes, rogue cultivators are a group of bloodthirsty beasts.
And now, they saw a beast king.
It might be too early to tell, but at least they saw Ling Xiao's potential to become the King of Beasts.
Isn't this kind of person the person they dream of recruiting?
Using this attic as the starting point, one secret message after another was quickly conveyed.
After finishing all this, the Jindan monks quickly gathered themselves and watched the next battle.
…
"you win."
Dong Qingran was silent for a moment and announced. At the same time, he fired a spiritual light and disappeared into the light curtain above, announcing the name of the winner and summoning the next pair of contestants.
After doing this, Dong Qingran looked at Ling Xiao again, her lips slightly opened, but she hesitated to speak.
On the contrary, Ling Xiao waved his hand and said: "I'm going to leave now. I'm exhausted. Bye."
Before he finished speaking, he flew out of the ring and disappeared into the dense forest of Huqi Mountain a moment later.
Dong Qingran froze in place, then became angry.
Aren't you willing to say a few more words?
This heartless guy!
She was so angry that she didn't force herself to stop thinking about the man until the next pair of contestants came on stage and continued to focus on the refereeing work.
The words are divided into two parts.
After returning to Huqi Mountain, Ling Xiao carefully checked Yuan Li's relics in his sleeves as he walked.
Yuan Li, who is known as a casual cultivator, naturally carries the second-level talismans the most. Ling Xiao got more than 100 talismans at once and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
These talismans alone are worth more than 30,000 spiritual stones.
In addition, there are spiritual stones, elixirs, materials, magic weapons, etc., worth about ten thousand.
This unexpected gain made Ling Xiao realize the value of the Chengyun Competition again.
There is no reward only if you reach the top 128.
The opponent's relics are also an income!
Of course, Ling Xiao is not a murderous madman. There is no enmity between the two parties, and he will not kill him. Unless, like Yuan Li, he was the first to have murderous intentions and took the initiative to hit the gun.
Return to the inn.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to sell Yuan Li's talisman.
The quality of these talismans was very ordinary, and he looked down upon them.
In addition, in this cloud-riding competition, he does not plan to rely too much on talismans to defeat his opponents, but plans to continue to hone his physical skills.
His body-forging cultivation was still in the middle stage of foundation building, and the mana cultivation had opened up a big gap, which needed to be made up urgently.
It just so happens that you should regard the Chengyun Competition as a training.
Anyway, in the short term, there is no hope of getting a chance to form a pill, and there is no rush to improve one's magic power.
After making the decision, Ling Xiao was about to go out to clear the warehouse when there was a knock on the door.
"Is Fellow Taoist Ling Xiao here? I'm Liao Mian from Jiuli Villa. Fellow Taoist, would you like to open the door and talk?"
A man's rough voice came from outside the door.
"So fast?"
Ling Xiao was slightly surprised, but did not hesitate and opened the door to greet the guests.
Jiuli Villa is one of the top immortal sects in the Huntian League. Its strength is no less than that of Huqishan and Chunyang Sword Sect. Ling Xiao has also heard about this sect these days.
Standing at the door was a tall and thick-set man with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows. He had an air of demeanor and his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.
Liao Mian bowed his hand and said, "Congratulations to fellow Taoist for successfully advancing to the second round of the Chengyun Competition."
Ling Xiao returned the greeting and said, "That's easy to say. I wonder if Jiuli Villa has asked Ling for advice?"
Liao Mian said with a smile: "Why do you ask questions knowingly, fellow Taoist? The battle you defeated Yuan Li can be regarded as a model of physical training. Our Jiuli Villa happens to be world-famous for body training, and we don't want to miss out on talents like fellow Taoist."
While talking, Liao Mian handed over a jade slip.
"Bizhuang knows people and cherishes talents, and has unique insights in the body-building industry. If fellow Taoist Ling is interested in joining, Bizhuang will definitely sweep the bed and wait for virtuous people. This is the condition that Bizhuang has given to fellow Taoist, you can read it carefully. Make your decision again. Even if you don’t join Bizhuang in the end, Liao will have a good relationship today."
Liao Mian smiled and said with a sincere tone.
Ling Xiao was embarrassed not to answer. He glanced briefly and nodded: "If I want to join, I will contact you."
"In this case, Liao will not bother you further. I wish you Taoist friends all the best in the upcoming competition and say goodbye."
Liao Mian bowed and left without any delay.
After closing the door, Ling Xiao carefully read the recruitment conditions offered by Jiuli Villa.
The annual salary is 20,000 spirit stones and a top-notch inherited technique.
In addition, if Ling Xiao joins, Jiuli Villa will immediately send a Jindan monk to guide him throughout the Chengyun Competition to help him achieve better results.
Except for the guidance of the Jindan monk, this quotation can only be regarded as ordinary.
But the key is that this is only the price for the first round. Every time Ling Xiao advances to another round, his annual salary will increase by five thousand spirit stones!
In other words, the final salary is linked to Ling Xiao's performance in the Chengyun Competition. The better the performance, the higher the salary!
And once Ling Xiao reaches the top 128, Jiuli Villa will receive additional spiritual stone rewards.
"It's a sincere offer, but it's a pity."
Ling Xiao casually crushed the jade slips and went out to sell goods.
