On the Qingming Festival the next day, Yi Yuan opened the stone door of the cave and stretched out.
He refined dozens of furnaces of the best Qi-nourishing pills overnight. Although he no longer takes them, the profits from the top-quality Qi-nourishing pills are quite good, so he cannot let go of this.
There's still some time before the challenge, so let's lie down for a while.
When Shangguan Lang came over with panda eyes, he looked at Yi Yuan who was lying down without saying a word. After suffering all night, he was now watching someone's performance. He believed that someone would not cheat him.
Seeing that time was running out, he called Yi Yuan: "If you don't leave, you will be late."
After saying that, he released his flying sword. Yi Yuan jumped up and stood behind him, urging him: "Go quickly! Go quickly! You're going to be late. It's so slow."
The flying sword at Shangguan Lang's feet shook for a moment, then flew out smoothly, arriving at the foot of Deacon Peak two quarters of an hour later.
Yi Yuan saw Mei Xueer in the crowd from a distance and waved to her.
Mei Xueer pulled a young man and ran over: "This is my brother Mei Jianyun. I want to go up to watch together, but we can't go up."
Yi Yuan glanced at Mei Jianyun, who was very similar to his sister, nodded, and led them to the entrance.
The young foundation-building monk guarding the path took a look and then let him go.
There are too many Qi refining and foundation building disciples of the Shangqing Sect. Today, only some disciples can go up the mountain to watch. There are also a small number of new disciples with very good qualifications. The remaining people can buy photography beads to watch in the future.
Shangguan Lang and Yi Yuan walked in front, followed by brother and sister Mei Xueer.
After arriving at the large square in front of the trial stage, Shangguan Lang checked his eyes with Yi Yuan again. Seeing that Yi Yuan still insisted on buying his victory, he no longer hesitated and turned around to leave.
When Dongfang Qi received 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones from Shangguan Lang to buy Yi Yuansheng, his heart skipped a beat: "This is the largest bet he has ever received. He doesn't think Yi Yuan can win. The odds are still there." Adjusted to one to five, but so many spirit stones made him feel a little uneasy."
Looking at Yi Yuan with a calm face in the distance, he felt even worse, so he adjusted the odds to one to three. It seemed to have no effect. There were really not many people who bought Yi Yuan's victory.
One person happened to buy Yi Yuansheng: Guo Ju took out 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones to buy Yi Yuansheng.
On the square, small groups of people gathered together, whispering.
Yi Yuan suddenly heard a message from his master: "How are you preparing? Are you sure? If you really lose, are you allowed to give up the game?"
Yi Yuan couldn't see where the master was and didn't know how to speak. He silently said in his heart: "Master, don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
I muttered it several times before getting a reply: "Then I can rest assured and concentrate on the game."
In the void barrier, Fairy Hongxiao looked at Zhou Youdao, the ancestor of the Zhou family who was also at the peak of divine transformation, and opened her red lips under the white veil: "I accept your bet. If Yi Yuan wins, the previous piece of Li The fire essence stone is a bet; if Yi Yuan loses, I will give you a trace of the Suzaku Divine Fire. I have the leader here to testify, so don’t deny it when the time comes."
Zhou Youdao said with a smile: "Fairy Hongxiao, please rest assured that my character is worth guaranteeing, especially to you. As long as you promise me, the Lihuo Essence Stone will be sent to you at any time, so there is no need to bother."
Fairy Hongxiao frowned, turned her head and ignored him.
Zhou Youdao stopped talking. He knew that if he talked too much, the two of them would probably fight again. The situation was not suitable now, not to mention that as time went by, there would always be opportunities if you take your time.
It is already common for many elders of the Shangqing Sect in the barrier to see one person chasing someone else for hundreds of years and still not give up, so there is no need to offend him. There is also an ancestor in the Zhou family who is at the peak of Xu Refining, and it is said that he will soon be promoted to the Hedao stage.
"The time has come, prepare to start the challenge." The voice of the leader Jiang Changxin spread throughout the barrier and Deacon Peak, and towards the mountain outside.
In the void barrier, the elders stopped talking and looked down through the barrier.
Above the trial stage, the deacon in charge of the challenge, a middle-aged black-haired man in a white robe with a bun on his head and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, appeared quietly in mid-air.
The black-haired middle-aged man glanced around, and the crowd in the square gradually calmed down, and then directly spoke: "I am the deacon in charge of this challenge - Shangguan Hu. I won't go into details about the rules of the challenge. There are two main points. You need to remember: Both sides of the competition cannot make any deadly moves until the point is reached.”
"Now let's invite the ten Foundation Establishment Challenge disciples to come to the trial stage."
"Yan Xingping, Fu Peishan, Huo Donger, Jiang Ling, Jia Boqiang, Han Qingwei, Kong Yuanyang, Tang Wedao, Mou Zhiqi, Linghuhong." They stepped onto the training platform in sequence.
"Here we invite the core disciples: Yi Yuan, the last one, will come on stage. You can choose one of the ten of them as your opponent, or you can draw lots." Shangguan Hu's voice sounded.
Yi Yuan rubbed the back of his head. Being ranked last was really embarrassing. Then he jumped up and landed on the trial platform within a few ups and downs.
I just heard the name, and I haven't matched up with anyone yet. How do I choose? Yi Yuan scanned the ten people back and forth and remained silent for a while.
The ten people were also speechless. You have a choice. They were hesitating and looking around, but there was no movement. Where are the monkeys?
Everyone hopes to be picked, especially against Yi Yuan who is in the late stage of Qi Refining. After all, to be able to stand out from more than 8,000 foundation-building disciples, everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. They are very confident in themselves, and anyone is willing to win easily.
Yi Yuan and the others have been asking for information a lot during this time: Five Elements Spiritual Root, favored by Elder Hongxiao, who directly joined the foundation-building core disciples when he first came to the sect, and especially sold a lot of Qi-nourishing pills, which made them jealous.
It is impossible to say that there are no knots in one's heart. Everyone bets on themselves to win against Yi Yuan.
Now Yi Yuan was looking back and forth unscrupulously, with displeasure on his face.
Many monks in the audience, you look at me, I look at you, they don’t know what to say. This is a competition to choose the opponent, not to watch monkeys! There were whispers for a while.
Within the void barrier, Fairy Hongxiao frowned, what is this kid doing? Don't you feel guilty?
"It's not like this kid is self-aware and can't defeat others. Is he considering giving up?" Zhou Youdao's voice sounded, and his eyes kept looking at Fairy Hong Xiao.
Fairy Hongxiao's eyes widened, and just as she was about to reach out and strike, she was interrupted by the headmaster Jiang Changxin: "Okay, please be quiet, I have my own arrangements."
After saying that, he sent a message to Shangguan Hu below, asking him to urge him.
Shangguan Hu in mid-air encountered this situation for the first time. He received a message from the leader and knew that if he didn't show up, the excitement would become a joke. So he said loudly: "Yi Yuan, have you chosen your opponent?"
Hearing the voice, Yi Yuankai was embarrassed, raised his head and hurriedly explained: "Elder Shangguan, it's not that I don't want to choose, it's just that I don't know them! As you know, I just came here not long ago, how do you think I should choose?"
The voice was getting weaker and weaker, and everyone else felt that it was reasonable, but also felt that something was wrong.
The ten people on the trial stone are not in a good mood. They have all been in the sect for almost a month. You can be forgiven for not knowing everyone. You have already been on the trial stage and you have not thought about asking about your opponent. Now you are blind. Well, who is to blame?
Yi Yuan had carefully looked at the ten people opposite him, and one of them was a bit dangerous. He should be the monk Shangguan Lang said was ranked first.
The other feelings are really not threatening. Could it be that the Five Elements of Gods and Demons Sutra that I practice can directly see through the cultivation of others? He has encountered this situation many times, but he has never fought before, and he doesn't know if it is accurate. He can verify it today.
If it is true, then this skill is really incredible, and he is bound to win the follow-up skills.
