Langshan is located in the north of Yunzhou, with an area of thousands of miles. It has continuous mountains, undulating peaks, tall trees and deep forests. There are flowing springs hanging upside down, exquisite rocks, idle flowers everywhere, and no paths for weeds. Sometimes wild animals are chasing around, and birds are flying in the forest. It is really a fairyland paradise that makes people linger and enjoy themselves, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world.
It is a pity that since the Yunwang Sect, the immortal cultivation sect here, was destroyed three thousand years ago, and the original fourth-order spiritual veins of this mountain were removed by the Yunxiao Sect, although the scenery here is still there, the aura of the Immortal Mountain has become dim. few.
Nowadays, there is only one spiritual vein above the third level in Langshan, which is the middle level of the third level and is occupied by the Mo family, the only Zifu family in Nanlang County. The Mo family relies on this spiritual vein, and the family has always had the Zi Mansion in charge for thousands of years, and the inheritance continues.
Zhao Beiqing's flying boat left Changshan and landed in a canyon surrounded by mountains more than an hour later. Those who came to greet it were monks from the Mo family.
I saw the leading man saying respectfully: "I have met the Master Zhexi. My ancestor has prepared a banquet at Linlang Palace, and I would like to invite the Master to come."
After a pause, the man added: "Master Guantao from the Wang family, Master Chengji from the Dai family, and Palace Master Kan from Yunqing Palace have all arrived."
Zhao, Wang, and Mo, these are the three major Zifu families in the three counties around Langshan. The Dai family is the Jindan family in Yunzhou. The Lord of Palace Kan is the Lord of Yunqing Palace of Yunxiao Sect.
The state palace of Yunxiao Sect in a certain state is usually named after the name of the state plus the word "yun". Only Yunzhou, because the name of the state was originally Yun, so the word Qing was added after Yun, and it was called Yunqing Palace.
These five families are the five major forces participating in the Langshan Secret Realm this time.
Zhao Beiqing was slightly startled and laughed loudly: "In this case, I am the last to arrive. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha!"
He then asked his grandma if he would go with him, but Taoist Master He Jing always disliked such formal occasions and shook his head in refusal. He then named the tenth elder and asked him to accompany him.
Mammy and the ten elders are the two leading elders sent by the Zhao family this time.
So the rest of the people were led by Mammy and followed a guest from the Mo family to the arranged residence.
Said to be a residence, there is actually only one courtyard, built against the mountain, with about twenty or thirty rooms inside. However, there was still a lot of open space, so everyone didn't take it seriously. They took out the tents that had been prepared and set up dozens of them to accommodate everyone.
On this trip, a total of more than two hundred people came from the Zhao family, including the immortal cultivating families from Shuyang County who followed the Zhao family. Among them, the number of those who are about to enter the secret realm is about one hundred, twenty or thirty.
According to the agreement reached by several major forces, if the initial stage of Qi training is regarded as one point, the middle stage as three points, and the later stage of Qi training as ten points, Langshan Secret Realm can accommodate a total of two thousand monks. Among them, there are 400 points allocated to Zhuyang County, exactly 20%.
Of these four hundred points, the Zhao family holds half. According to the custom in previous years, there are usually forty people in the early stage of Qi training, twenty people in the middle stage, and ten people in the final stage of Qi training. However, this time there were only nine people who had successfully practiced Qi. The other person was replaced by a seventh-level Qi practitioner, none other than Zhao Yue'er.
The top ten foundation-building families in Zhuyang County divided one hundred and fifty points from the other half. The last fifty points are reserved for the various qi-training families in the county, so that these small families can share some of the soup.
It's just that there are too many qi-training families, and even one point is not enough, so the arena is often used to allocate points based on performance.
About one or two of these qi-practicing families participating in the competition were selected from each county, and this time they also came to Langshan with the flying boat of the ancestor of the Zhao family. A temporary earthen platform with a radius of ten feet was built near the Zhao family's residence, and the final battle was held on site to show fairness.
So after everyone finished cleaning up, they came to the earth platform to watch the competition. As the person with the highest cultivation level present, Mammy is not only the referee of the game, but also has to arrange protective formations to protect the safety of the audience.
The game went very quickly, and in less than an hour, it had entered the final championship battle.
The two parties were a handsome young man and a middle-aged man with a simple and honest expression who looked about forty years old. Both of them had perfected their qi training.
They all fought hard all the way and consumed a lot of energy. Each of them swallowed a few Qi Restoration Pills. After meditating for a while, they signaled to the host that they were ready.
Following the order, the two began to take action.
The middle-aged man's major should be in the gold system. As soon as he raised his hand, several golden sword energy surged out. The young man, who should be of the water element, first lit up a water-blue protective shield, then took out an apricot-yellow wooden shield, and finally raised one hand to meet him with a blue flying sword.
The fight above was lively, and there was also a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Brother of the Geng family, I have been practicing qi for more than ten years. I think I am determined to win it this time!"
"It's hard to say. Brother Geng is famous for his love for his wife. I bet that even if he saves enough contribution points and switches from the sect to the Foundation Establishment Pill, he will definitely give his wife first."
"If he hasn't built the foundation yet, it will be difficult for him to build the foundation after sixty years of age!"
"Isn't it! Speaking of which, if the couple hadn't had to give birth to a child with spiritual roots and delayed it for seven or eight years, they might have established the foundation long ago!"
"That's right, that's right, immortal cultivators are fighting against the sky for their fate, how can they care about the love between children..."
Among the crowd, a graceful middle-aged woman couldn't help but have a sad look on her face as she listened to everyone's discussion.
Next to her was a young man who was about the same age as Yang Zhen. His face turned red and he suddenly shouted loudly: "My parents are very close to each other. You talkative people, no, you must not..."
After all, he never said the cursed word.
"Bao'er, shut up!" the middle-aged woman scolded; "Don't affect your father's game."
The young man immediately drooped his head and said nothing.
However, everyone found it boring when he made such a fuss, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Yang Zhen followed the voice and found that the young man was an acquaintance, his classmate at Junguan Academy.
Speaking of which, this young man named Geng Xiubao has some connection with Yang Zhen.
His fate may be said to have been changed by Yang Zhen.
This person was the first opponent Yang Zhen met after temporarily joining the ninth group during the school rematch. This man was not weak, and Yang Zhen finally defeated his opponent after a hard fight and multiple injuries.
In the final group ranking, this person happened to be ranked third, and was squeezed out by Yang Zhen, and missed the final selection.
"If he can participate in the selection, he may have a 20-30% chance of being selected into the sect." Such thoughts flashed through Yang Zhen's mind.
At this moment, cheers were heard, Geng Xiubao was jumping up and down excitedly, and his mother beside him also clasped her hands with tears in her eyes.
Yang Zhen didn't need to look back, she had already guessed that the Geng family uncle must have won the final victory.
