"Anyway, the three of us will enter Amitabha Pagoda that night. I have already figured out the route." Bieling said.

Qianqiu hesitated for a while and said, "When did you make the plan?"

"A few days ago." Bie Ling said expressionlessly.

"It turns out you were doing these things during the days when I was in the confessional hall." Qianqiu said feeling a little aggrieved.

"Yes." Bieling stood up and left expressionlessly.

Qianqiu hugged her shoulders and watched Bieling leave, and said helplessly: "This crazy bitch really comes and goes like the wind. She comes and leaves as she says."

After Bieling left, Qianqiu closed the door, thinking that he was no longer sleepy, so he might as well practice for a while.

So, he took out the Heart Demon Bead in the Qiankun Bag, looked at it carefully, and said to the small bead: "I don't know if the master gave you to me, whether it was a disaster or a blessing. I have a body of five elements, and I should be indifferent. Everyone, with the help of the master, has you, and has made cultivation progress faster than ordinary people. However, sooner or later, if this continues, I will no longer be able to hide it, and I don’t know if I will be able to protect you by then."

He thought about it and felt that he was also tired. Since coming down the mountain, he had encountered so many things.

Qianqiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she thought that she had suffered so many hardships when she first entered the troubled times.

First he was cursed by the Xiawei Fox, and was almost beaten to death by the Thunder Demon in Huanghu City. He was almost poisoned by the unscrupulous magistrate when passing through Vulcan County. He finally entered the sect, but was punished by his master to grow vegetables in the back mountain. I didn't learn anything, but encountered a lot of monsters.

During this period, he was poisoned and intimidated. Finally, he was framed and sent to the confession hall for a few days. He finally got through the sect competition, but the training stone malfunctioned again.

"Qianqiu, Qianqiu, think about how cool you were when you were in the Holy Mountain, but now you are unclean in the world. This body of five elements, this inner magic bead, has magnified the pain of your cultivation countless times. How long can you last? How can we truly realize Master's dream?" Qianqiu said to himself while practicing.

Think again and again, and do what you do. Once Qianqiu starts practicing, he will be almost harsh on himself.

This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. Talk and make trouble. Once it comes to business, if Qianqiu dares to slack off even a little bit, he will be beaten and scolded by his master.

"Except for the strange frog, I don't have an unexpected trump card. I'm just afraid that something unexpected will happen." Qianqiu thought to himself after running his cultivation for a while.

"After the lottery is done tomorrow, I must find an opportunity to go to the Fire Maple Forest again. Even if I don't meet the lava pangolin, I might find something else." Qianqiu secretly made up his mind.

At dawn the next day, Qianqiu opened his eyes slightly, looked out the window, yawned, and stood up - he stayed up all night, repeatedly running the cultivation bases of the five cultivation pools, and found that there was something wrong with his cultivation. Few problems.

"I really don't know, I'm shocked when I see it, how come I don't notice so many problems normally." Qianqiu stretched out, clapped his mouth with his hand, and walked out of the door as he thought to himself.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that Yang Xian and others were already waiting for him at the door.

"Good morning, brothers." Qianqiu smiled and greeted the big guys.

Erzhu said: "Brother Qianqiu, you have already gotten up late. We have been to the dining hall and had breakfast. No, I brought you two buns. You can eat as you like."

Yuan Lang gritted his teeth and patted Yuan Lang gently, and said: "Er Zhu, don't take the credit. I obviously asked you to take the credit without saying a word."

"Ah haha?" Erzhu touched his head in embarrassment and said, "That's true, but I worked hard and Sister Buyu just opened her mouth. The credit should be mine."

Qianqiu smiled and said: "Okay, Erzhu, I know you care about me the most, thank you very much!"

Yang Xian looked at Qianqiu's face and asked, "Brother Qian, you didn't have any rest last night, okay? You look so bad."

Qianqiu shrugged and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to take a good rest, but then I reached the state of perfection as soon as I started practicing, and I ended up here now."

At this time, Xiao Hu stepped forward, wiped Qianqiu's forehead with his hand, then showed it to everyone, and said, "Look!"

"So much sweat! Brother Qianqiu, how hard did you work?" Erzhu asked in surprise.

Qianqiu took the bun in Erzhu's hand, took a bite and said, "I just ran it a few more times. The most important thing is that I have five kinds of magic skills that need to be run, so it is normal to be tired."

"Okay, let's go to the martial arts arena first. The lottery is about to begin. If you lose the lottery, you can advance directly." Xiao Hu reminded.

"What's an empty sign?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully.

"Talk as we walk." Yang Xian suggested while leading everyone outside.

Xiao Hu said as he walked: "With such a large Eastern sect and so many disciples, it is impossible for every disciple to want to participate in the competition. In previous years, every disciple had to participate in the competition, even if he lost miserably. But for some reason this year, or maybe because of a new rule, the masters decided to let the disciples draw lots first, and then let the disciples decide whether to give up participating in the competition. In this way, many people will be born. Blank sign?"

"So if our opponent has an empty draw, he will directly advance to the next round, right?" Erzhu asked excitedly.

Yang Xian nodded and said: "Er Zhu, this is the theory, but I don't think there will be many empty lots."

"Why? Some people are just not strong enough, so it's useless to compete." Erzhu asked doubtfully.

Yang Xian smiled and said: "Er Zhu, have you forgotten how hard you worked to join the sect?"

"Then how could I forget? Although I have to rely on several brothers, Erzhu's own thoughts are also very important." Erzhu said.

"So, if it were you, would you give up such a competition to prove yourself for no reason? Those of us who can enter the sect and become disciples are not only superior to others in terms of strength, but also in mentality. He is more mature and wants to make progress. In other words, since he can enter the Oriental School, how many idiots will give up on his own initiative?" Yang Xian asked.

After hearing what Yang Xian said, everyone nodded unconsciously and thought it made sense.

Although Qianqiu agreed with Mr. Yang in his heart, he couldn't help but said mischievously: "Old Yang, I just don't believe it. What if there are many people who give up and many empty signs?"

Yang Xian opened his fan and said, "Brother Qian, how about a bet between you and me? If I lose then, you can do whatever you want."

Qianqiu shook his head hurriedly and said: "You brat, I won't bet, I won't bet."

Upon hearing this, several people laughed at Qianqiu's funny appearance.

After entering the martial arts arena, several people dispersed and found their respective locations in the Five Elements Hall, preparing to draw lots.

There are hundreds of disciples in the sect, and just drawing lots takes a lot of effort.

"Okay, everyone has got their own lottery number. Next, open your own lottery number." Lian Bo said standing on the stage.

Lian Bo's voice is not loud, but it can directly enter everyone's ears. This is also the power of the magic master.

Qianqiu held a small piece of cloth in his hand without paying any attention to it. He opened it several times and saw the number he belonged to: "Forty-four!"

"Oh my God! This number is so unlucky!" Qianqiu shouted desperately.

"Qianqiu, what's your signature number?" Zhao Quan, who was standing aside, looked over and took a look.

"Your number... is pretty good." Zhao Quan took a look and squeezed out a few words for a long time.

Qianqiu tied the cloth strip on the chest of the white robe and said, "Senior brother, I am also very helpless."

"Next, ask each disciple to compete in the venue corresponding to his number. If you want to give up, please tell the referee of your venue. Each venue has referee supervision to prevent the disciples from violating the rules or engaging in excessive behavior. When we show up, a few of us old guys and the two commanders of the Qinglong Army will randomly patrol, I hope everyone will not let us down!" Lian Bo said.

"I will obey Master's order!" all the disciples in the audience replied in unison.

After a while, the huge martial arts arena became lively.

Qianqiu followed the number on the ground and came to the venue where he belonged.

"The competition disciple Qianqiu who belongs to field 44 is already in place." The referee standing in the center of the edge of the field said expressionlessly.

"This is? A clone?" Qianqiu took a closer look and found that the referee was actually a clone with an expressionless face. "This is the horror of the magic master!"

Qianqiu looked around again and found that there were clones of several masters standing on every field.

"I've never heard of it!" Qianqiu thought to himself, "They say that magic masters are one of the most powerful people in the world. I didn't expect that there is such a magic method." He lowered his head to adjust his clothes and said seriously. admire deeply.

"Guo Qing, the competition disciple who belongs to venue 44, is already in place." Following the referee's announcement, Qianqiu couldn't help but raise his head and look.

As soon as he raised his head, a hand fell on his shoulder.

"Brother, congratulations. No need to look anymore, I give up the competition." A handsome male disciple walked up to Qianqiu at some point and said to him.

"Why don't you compete?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully. He thought he would relax, but found that he was not happy for his opponent to give up the competition.

"It's nothing, I can't beat you at all." Guo Qing said, "I have seen you, you advanced as a magician in Tianhai Pavilion. I am just a small advanced magician now, so there is no point. Let’s just let you advance successfully.”

Qianqiu touched his head and said, "Okay, in that case, thank you Brother Guo."

Guo Qing rolled his eyes and said, "No need to thank you. Can I ask Brother Qian to do me a favor?"

"What's the business?" Qianqiu asked confused.

Guo Qing pulled Qianqiu aside with a look.
