It was already the next morning when Zhou Tu returned to the sect. He completed the task and received five hundred merit points. Then he went to the Zhenbao Pavilion and planned to exchange for another Spirit-accumulating Pill. However, Deacon Wang told him that this month The Yunling Pill is gone...
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Zhou Tu sighed immediately. The competition in the sect was more intense than he imagined. Yesterday, Sun Yan wanted to snatch his Soul-accumulating Pill. I am afraid that the other party did not have insufficient merit, but that he had changed it in the Treasure Pavilion. Not there!
"Let's use the last Spirit-accumulating Pill first! Improve the Wind Blade Technique to proficiency..." Zhou Tu thought to himself, then found an open space on the mountain, took the Spirit-accumulating Pill, and began to practice the Wind Blade Technique...
Soon, Zhou Tu mastered the Wind Blade Technique proficiently. The technique can be completed in one breath. Even if he encounters an opponent like the Thunder Horned Lizard again, he does not have to worry about being unable to use the Wind Blade Technique.
After a while, Zhou Tu returned to his room. Before he entered, someone was already waiting for him at the door.
"Senior Brother Sun?" Zhou Tu looked at the other party in confusion. The man standing at the door was none other than Sun Yan, who had fought with him yesterday! However, the other party had clearly given up on robbing him of the Soul-Absorbing Pill yesterday, so why were they still looking for him today?
"Junior Brother Zhou, how long will it take for you to break through the third level of Qi training?" Sun Yan asked immediately.
"I don't know." Zhou Tu shook his head.
"A month later, there will be a big competition in the outer sect. Only disciples of the third level of Qi training can participate. The top ten can each get a level-breaking pill; the top five can each get a high-grade nourishing pill. Pill, a middle-grade spirit-accumulating pill; the top three will each get another talisman, plus a high-grade Yuan-Yuan Dan and a medium-grade spirit-accumulating pill; the first place, two talismans, high-grade There are five Yuan-Yuan Dan, five mid-grade Spirit-Enriching Pills, and one high-grade Spirit-Enriching Pill. In addition, you can choose a low-grade Xuan-level technique and an intermediate-level spell!" Sun Yan said immediately.
Hearing this, Zhou Tu immediately thought of his dream that night. The real purpose of this outer sect competition should be to select the strongest disciples of the outer sect to duel with the demon cultivators under the Yinhuang Ancestor!
"Why did Senior Brother Sun tell me this?" Zhou Tu asked calmly.
"This news spread to the outer sect last night. Even if I didn't tell you, you would know it in a few days at most." Sun Yan said, and then said: "The rewards for this outer sect competition are very generous. As long as you can enter the front Ten is equivalent to getting half the reward of a Grade A mission! If you can enter the top five, or even the top three, even several Grade A missions can't compare! So now all the disciples of the third level of Qi training in the outer sect are trying to find ways to grow. In terms of strength, if Junior Brother Zhou cannot break through the third level of Qi training before next month, why not lend me the Soul-Absorbing Pill? If I can enter the top five, I will give you two Soul-Absorbing Pills in return!"
"Top five? With Senior Brother Sun's strength, you can't be sure of being number one?" Zhou Tu suddenly wondered, Sun Yan is the strongest among the third level Qi training monks he has ever seen! He originally thought that the opponent's goal was to be number one, but he didn't expect that he was only in the top five!
"First place? Haha! First place is impossible! I'm pretty sure of being in the top five, but my luck can't be too bad... How about it? Junior Brother Zhou, do you want to borrow the Spirit-enhancing Pill?" Sun Yan asked.
"Senior Brother Sun said it was too late. I have already used the Yunling Pill just now. In addition, I wonder if Senior Brother Sun has any extra mid-grade Yuan Yang Dan or high-grade Yuan Yang Dan? You can lend it to me now and I can return it then. You double!" Zhou Tu said immediately.
Sun Yan frowned at first, but when he heard what Zhou Tu said later, his face suddenly became surprised.
"Do you want to break through to the third level of Qi training this month and then participate in this competition?" Sun Yan asked.
"The rewards for this competition are so generous, of course I want to participate!" Zhou Tu replied.
"Haha, my cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of Qi training. I am only half a step away from reaching the fourth level of Qi training. The middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan is of no use to me anymore. I do still have more. However, I can borrow it now. Are you going to add another opponent to yourself? Do you think I would do such a stupid thing?" Sun Yan asked with a smile.
"If you are willing to lend me the middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan, I will naturally not let you suffer! But it doesn't matter if you don't lend it. I can also find other people to lend it. As long as I give enough in return, there will definitely be someone willing to lend it. Me! When the time comes, I will still participate in this competition!" Zhou Tu replied.
Sun Yan frowned, then smiled and said: "You are right! Your current strength is not weaker than that of a monk at the third level of Qi training. You must be not far from the third level of Qi training. As long as someone is willing to lend you a middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan, You can indeed participate in this competition... Since it is the same for anyone who borrows it, of course you can lend it to me! However, the conditions must be changed. If you can enter the top ten or even the top five in the competition, I’ll get half of the rewards! Also, if you meet me in the competition, you have to give in three moves, and within three moves, you only defend but don’t attack!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tu frowned, thought about it seriously, and asked: "Then how many middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills can you lend me?"
"Three." Sun Yan replied immediately.
"Three are not enough! Three middle-grade Yuan Yang Dan, I will give you three moves at most when I meet you! It's impossible to share half of my reward!" Zhou Tu refused unceremoniously. A mid-grade Yuan Yang Pill is worth 600 merit points in total, and one of the top ten reward pills is worth 3,000 merit points, and half of it is worth 1,500 points! Moreover, only ten level-breaking pills are issued a year, so even if you have merit points, you may not be able to exchange them for them!
"Then how much do you want?" Sun Yan asked.
"There must be at least ten middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills! In addition, when I participate in this competition, no matter where I get in the end, I will give you a complete Rank-Breaking Pill!" Zhou Tu replied immediately, the Rank-Breaking Pill is It is an indispensable pill for the early stage of Qi training to break through the middle stage of Qi training, or the middle stage of Qi training to break through the late stage of Qi training. He originally also had a great need for level-breaking pills, but now he has the Heavenly Sword Dao Scroll. According to the chapter on raising a sword, If he wants to break through the middle stage of Qi training, he doesn't need to use the level-breaking pill at all!
Sun Yan hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "No! My return is too low, and I have to bear additional risks. If you can't enter the top ten, or if you enter the top ten, follow me If you meet me, I will be at a huge disadvantage! I will add two more, and I will lend you a total of five middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills, and the reward will be only one Grade-Breaking Pill!"
"Five is too few, eight!" Zhou Tu said immediately.
"One more, six..."
"Seven middle-grade Yangyuan, no more!"
After some haggling, the two finally agreed. Sun Yan would lend seven middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills, and after the competition, Zhou Tude would return a Grade-Breaking Pill.
After everything was settled, the two of them signed the receipt and printed their thumbprints respectively. In this way, if one party defaults on the debt, the other party can take the receipt to the deacon hall to sue the other party. In this case where the evidence is solid, the sect has always Will do justice.
After the document was set up, Sun Yan took out seven middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills on the spot and gave them to Zhou Tu...
