In full view of everyone, Qi Mingchen was the last to leave the secret realm. According to the rules, he was the first.
But obviously some people are dissatisfied.
"President Lu has obtained the inheritance, so he should obviously be the first!"
"That's right. Why should a person who doesn't dare to show his face take first place?"
He saw Lu Xiyu nearby who was still in a sluggish state, obviously not expecting this level.
Obtaining the inheritance does not mean that he came out last. The first place still fell to him.
Qi Mingchen walked to the third steward and asked, "According to the rules, I am number one, right?"
The third steward was still in a daze, but he came to his senses after he came over, nodded, and said: "Yes, according to the rules, the later you come out, the higher your ranking."
He got the answer he wanted, without any nonsense, and said: "Reward."
The third steward said: "The reward for the first place is a brand-new fruit, and there is also a thousand contribution points as a reward."
Compared to a new look, these one thousand contribution points are really nothing.
"No! I don't accept it!"
At this time someone came out and shouted.
This person Qi Mingchen had an impression that he was one of the people who reached the last level of trial. After discovering that what he chose to abandon was not only lost forever, but also not inherited, his mentality collapsed!
"How can such a person with unknown origins who dare not show his face win first place?"
When this person was shouting, the Third Steward seemed a little confused about how to deal with it. After all, the other party's strength and status were similar to the Third Steward's.
After all, they are only acting as award presenters, and the second-class branch is actually responsible for the secret trial.
At this time, Qi Mingchen asked: "If this person is injured, will there be any problems?"
The third steward's eyes lit up and he said: "There will be no problem. As long as lives are not harmed, the Chamber of Commerce will not care about the other party as the first provocateur."
When he got the answer he wanted, he nodded slightly, raised a finger, and pointed at this person in vain.
"If you can dodge this attack, then the first place will be yours."
In order to prevent being repudiated, he deliberately reminded him loudly.
The man saw the raised finger and smiled contemptuously, "Are you looking down on me? Can you attack me from this distance?"
After saying that, he activated his spiritual power, and his acquired strength was revealed.
The spiritual power in the acquired stage is enough to be released outwards, and the shallow fluctuations of spiritual power form a barrier in front of this person.
"If you can penetrate this barrier, how about I recognize you as number one?"
Qi Mingchen said nothing, and he used the power of his soul to activate Chuguang.
"stop!"
Everyone saw only a completely uncaptured light.
Subsequently.
"boom!"
The barrier exploded, and a finger-sized hole appeared in the chest of the provocateur, penetrating from the chest to the back.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The man reacted, clutching his chest and shouting in pain.
What seemed like a small wound on the surface had actually damaged a lot of internal organs and could have almost killed you!
"What method is this?"
"This speed, and the strength of the spiritual power...the innate stage?"
"How is it possible? How is it possible for the innate stage to enter the secret realm?"
"What if it was just a breakthrough, or a breakthrough inside?"
"But if you don't enter physically, how can you break through?"
"Don't forget, after the third level, injuries to your body will also be affected, and your cultivation level may also improve inside!"
During the discussion, no one had any objections to Qi Mingchen's first place.
What no one noticed was that under the mask, he was already dripping with cold sweat. Having consumed all his first energy, he only felt weak.
Using the first light to repair spiritual power is different from attacking.
The attack requires the power of the soul, which consumes a lot of energy and is difficult to bear.
Fortunately, there was no loss of spiritual power in his body and he could still bear it.
The third steward looked happy, but quickly concealed it and arranged for someone to take the injured person down for treatment.
Then, in front of everyone, he announced: "Congratulations to the third-class guest, Hong Chen, for winning the first place in the Heart-Questing Trial, receiving the Hundred-Year Spirit Plant, and taking on a new look!"
The third steward put the fruit in the box and handed it to him carefully.
After Qi Mingchen got what he wanted, he didn't plan to stay any longer and was ready to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Hong!"
Someone called to him.
Qi Mingchen took a look and saw Lu Xiyu dressed in white.
He stopped where he was and didn't speak.
The other party ran over, looked at him carefully, and asked: "Your strength should not be just a third-class guest. Do you want to join our branch? I can arrange for you to become a second-class guest soon! Or you can also become a formal member." .”
The third steward who was not far away became a little anxious when he heard this. He took two quick steps this way. Remembering the identity of this person as the president, he stopped where he was and was worried.
Qi Mingchen asked: "Are you doing it for me, or for a new look?"
Lu Xiyu was struck in his mind, lowered his head slightly, and said: "I need this fruit very much, I can exchange it for this fruit at any price..."
Naturally, he believed this. The reason why a guild president should be punished personally was nothing more than the value brought by the reward.
However, it was impossible for him to give away the fruit he had paid so much for, regardless of the risk of exposure.
So, he calmly replied: "I also need this fruit very much."
Lu Xiyu's eyes were red. Due to the fact that there were so many people around him, he didn't show much emotion. "Really, is there no possibility? This fruit is very important to me, very important!"
"Since it's so important, why don't you buy this fruit in advance before the trial rewards are announced? It's not impossible given your status."
"..." She was silent for a while, then said with difficulty: "It was a mistake. This fruit should not have been here..."
But before he could ask further questions, Lu Xiyu looked at him deeply and turned to leave.
It seems that the origin of this fruit is not ordinary...
Qi Mingchen suspected that he had picked it up and missed it.
But now that it was in his hands, these inside stories had nothing to do with him. He quietly put the fruit into the ring and left here.
What he didn't notice was that Mu Qingdu, not far away, was staring at him closely with crazy and excited eyes, murmuring: "This is the person I should be chasing. I hope you live long enough!"
Qi Mingchen didn't know that he was being targeted by a madman, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
The most important thing now is to find a stable environment and restore his strength.
There was not much time left to go to Jiange. He had to seize the time to repair his meridians and then complete the sect mission he applied for.
And there is...
When doing tasks, the assassins from the Shadow Pavilion will definitely block him. A killer with the seventh level of alchemy, he must regain his strength and face this person with all his strength.
If it really doesn't work, I can only use my trump card...
