The last competition on the third day of the Cheng Guan En Examination, which Qian Chao and the other five were very interested in, took place between two spirit-controlling monks.
One of them is a man, a son of a noble family, named You Qianhui.
You Qianhui's opponent is a female disciple of Wuling. This person is known to Qian Chao and the other five but not familiar with them. They once lived with this woman for a year in Youming Valley. This woman is Wu Ruishan.
Wu Ruiyuan, who had defeated Wei Bie on the first day of the Chengguan Entrance Examination, was Wu Ruishan's biological sister. After the two truly entered the Five Spirits Sect through body training, they went to different sects respectively. The younger sister Wu Ruiyuan was in Jiuxuan While practicing, his sister Wu Ruishan went to the Yuling Sect in Shuiyun Valley.
As mentioned before, since Qian Chao and Tang Ping entered the Wuling Sect through body training, they have not had much contact with those people in Youming Valley. In addition, the Wu sisters had secretly helped in Youming Valley. After passing the Qin Dynasty, he would not take the initiative to pay attention to it.
The way Wu Ruiyuan defeated Wei Bie the day before yesterday was eye-catching. It can be seen that Wu Ruiyuan is not only talented in cultivation, but also works hard. Qian Chao and the other five people even speculated that Wu Ruiyuan may have good qualifications, which is why she can achieve her current cultivation. For the sake of peace, the five of them naturally have to take a good look at Wu Ruishan's methods today.
The first person to take the stage was You Qianhui.
He is a young man with disheveled hair, wearing a black brocade robe, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with dark and pretty eyebrows. In addition to his eyes that always look a little gloomy, his face especially looks a little pale.
Tang Ping stared at You Qianfei. Somehow, she had a bad feeling about this person:
"You Qianhui, a snake is a venomous snake. Why did this man's elders give him this name? Or are they saying that the spiritual beast raised by You Qianhui is a snake?"
Well, what Tang Ping didn't know was that You Qianhui's real name was You Liang. He later changed the name Qianhui himself, and the reason why this name was related to his methods.
Then Wu Ruishan took the stage.
Wu Ruishan, who has not seen her for a long time, is slim and tall, with an exquisite figure. Unlike her sister Wu Ruiyuan, who almost appeared on stage without a face during the competition, Wu Ruishan must have dressed up carefully for today's competition. She is slim and fit, with excellent texture. Wearing an ocher-red chest-length skirt and a ginkgo-yellow shirt, she walked on the stage with light steps and smooth waist, revealing a bit of irrepressible enchantment in her subtlety. This girl was a beauty in Youming Valley. Looking at it now, her appearance has not changed much, but after losing some of the childishness she had left in Youming Valley, she looks even more charming, and her look is even more charming. She has a very mature charm, and her pretty face with picturesque features has been powdered and rouged, making it even more bright and charming, looking forward to life.
Tang Ping looked at Wu Ruishan, then at You Qianfei opposite her, and said with some confusion:
"Why are these two people like this?"
Qian Chao was beside her. After hearing this, he asked curiously:
"How's everything going?"
Tang Ping looked back and forth at the two people in the stands as if unsure before saying:
"Look at You Qianfei, is his face a little pale?"
"Well, that's right."
"Looking at Wu Ruishan again, although she has put makeup on her face, the original color of her face cannot be concealed. It seems... Wu Ruishan just wants to hide her face with makeup..."
"What's wrong with the mother-in-law's face?" Lu Pingchuan also asked curiously.
"I can't see clearly, but I think it's weird. Maybe let Wu Ruishan wash her face to wash off all the pollen and rouge. Her face may look as pale as You Qianfei's."
Paled face!
Li Jian suddenly thought of something and said immediately:
"What Miss Tang means...the two people on the stage...are evil cultivators?"
After saying this, Yanxuan's eyes widened and he had to look carefully. Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but look over.
Tang Ping said immediately:
"How is it possible? The evil cultivator dares to compete on stage here. Don't you think your life is too long? But I always feel that the faces of the two of them are strange. They look like they have lost their essence and blood and have insufficient vitality. Well, we Yuling There is a method of raising spirit beasts, called the 'Blood Feeding Method'. Although it is not listed as a forbidden technique, few ordinary spirit control monks will use this method. I suspect that both of them are using this method. How to raise your own spiritual bird or beast."
"Blood feeding method? Whose blood is used?" Qian Chao asked immediately.
"Of course it's mine."
"Ah..." Yanxuan said in surprise.
Upstairs in Chengguan, Fairy Guhuo, the elder of the Shuiyun Valley Yuling Sect, stared at the man and woman competing on the stage.
When Tang Bonian saw Fairy Guhuo looking carefully, he asked:
"What, did you catch your eye? Do these two kids on the stage have any good potential?"
"No, no," Fairy Guhuo shook her head and said, "I don't know if they are suitable disciples in the eyes of others, but if it were me, I would definitely turn a blind eye to these two people, but they are so young. He's so impatient that he even endangers himself for a few tricks, especially that girl. There's no telling what a person like this can do for the greater good in the future!"
…
In the arena.
The foundation-building monks in the audience had just announced the start of the competition.
You Qianhui bowed his hands and said:
"I am honored to compete with Miss Wu on the same stage today."
Wu Ruishan also saluted and said with a slight smile:
"I hope Mr. You will show mercy when I take action."
"I don't dare, I want to say that too."
"please."
After saying this politely, the competition began.
It has to be said that Tang Ping guessed You Qianhui's method correctly. The spiritual beast raised by this man was indeed a snake, and it was an uncommon snake.
Wu Ruishan said a favor, and You Qianfei unceremoniously stretched out a hand to grab Wu Ruishan on the opposite side. Then something weird happened, and a heart-shaking "hissing" sounded, While everyone was stunned, they saw that You Qianhui's slightly pale hand suddenly turned into a ferocious golden snake head. The snake's mouth was wide open, and its fangs spit out all the venom. It aimed at Wu Ruishan and bit her. When the snake head rushed over at a very fast speed, You Qianhui's arm completely turned into a golden snake, and its long snake body stretched out rapidly from the sleeves of the black brocade robe!
"It is indeed a snake... a golden-scaled viper." Tang Ping said, she recognized You Qianhui's snake.
"Is it poisonous?" Qian Chao asked.
"Very poisonous..." Tang Ping said.
Wu Ruishan immediately dodged to the side and avoided You Qianfei's first blow.
Then the long snake body shrank suddenly, and You Qianhui's body flew forward quickly along with the long arms of the snake body that he stretched out, but looking at the way he chased after it, it seemed that the snake's head was pulling hard. His body moved forward, which always felt a little unnatural, but You Qianhui twisted around while he was still in the air, and flicked his other arm towards Wu Ruishan who was flying to avoid...
In an instant, his other arm turned into a golden long whip. The long whip was winding and twisted, swinging in the air. It was as thick and thin as You Qianhui's other snake arm, but the farther it reached the tip of the whip, the harder it became. The thinner it became, the piercing whistling rolled up and hit Wu Ruishan's exquisite waist desperately!
It's a snake's tail, no, it should be a snake body plus a snake's tail.
This is the Jade Spirit Technique, and Qian Chao and others can recognize it. They often see one of Tang Ping's arms transform into a giant ape arm among the enemies, so they don't care about this method. However, many people watching the battle in the audience It was the first time for many of the Five Spirits disciples to see such a method. A person's arms turned into a complete golden-scaled snake. In addition to biting with poisonous fangs, he could also whip with the snake's tail. Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but be shocked. Breathe it out.
Wu Ruishan had to dodge again, but this time her body did not move faster than the snake tail whip extending towards her. As she flew back, the golden snake's tail had already been whipped, but it was not whipped hard but quickly. After wrapping it around her slim waist a few times, Wu Ruishan's face immediately changed. After the long whip was tightly wrapped around her body, it suddenly pulled back with force. At this time, the golden snake on You Qianhu's other arm He was twisting and turning, and the fangs in his mouth were already aimed at Wu Ruishan's white neck, ready to pull her to the front and bite her in one bite.
He was about to succeed, but Xu didn't expect that he would win so easily. You Qianhui's eyes were full of excitement, and his pale face was flushed with blood.
But the panic on Wu Ruishan's face, who was almost pulled in front of You Qianhui, suddenly disappeared, replaced by a charming smile, and her right hand, which was not bound by the snake's tail, gently snapped her fingers!
There was a soft "pop" sound, and immediately there was a continuous "buzz" sound. Just when You Qianhui's hand turned into a golden snake head and was about to bite it, Wu Ruishan's body, which was already in front of You Qianhui, Suddenly he was enveloped in a thick black mist!
If it were just black fog, there would not be such a long-lasting buzzing sound. Since there is this buzzing sound, then this black fog is not as simple as a thick black fog.
It was the buzzing sound of many small, winged things flapping their wings in unison!
The big golden snake head almost rushed into the black mist, but suddenly stopped its momentum and even retreated in panic!
Tang Ping was surprised and said:
"It's actually a bug, an elephant-eating ant!"
"Are those bugs poisonous?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"No, but it's more troublesome than being poisonous. They can eat them from as small as a grain of rice until they are as big as a date!"
"Be good!"
It is indeed an insect. Tang Ping in the audience recognized that the spiritual insect used by Wu Ruishan was an elephant-eating ant. The name naturally comes from the meaning of ten thousand ants eating elephants. This kind of spiritual insect is small in size but is very good at swallowing and can be raised into shape. Elephant-eating ants can grow small wings and fly quickly, which is even more troublesome.
Countless elephant-eating ants flapped their wings and covered Wu Ruishan's figure, biting the long snake-tailed whip wrapped around her body. This caused You Qianfei unbearable pain. Not only that, the elephant-eating ants came close to her body. As soon as the black mist formed together appeared, it quickly spread towards You Qianhui who was in front of him, and almost completely enveloped You Qianhui's figure in the blink of an eye.
You Qianfei let out a cry of "ah". You could hear that he was extremely frightened by the black insect swarm in front of him, and he suddenly retreated...
However, for some reason, the golden snake tail whip that he wrapped around Wu Ruishan's waist could not be freed. In the midst of Yu Qianfei's shock, he heard Wu Ruishan's soft voice from among the black fog insects. Laughing, at this time, I don’t know whether it was his arm or the golden snake he raised, which was suffering from the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects in the black mist. You Qianhui’s face was distorted, and under the severe pain and horror, he forcefully led He pulled Wu Ruishan's body back and pulled Wu Ruishan out of the black mist.
Naturally, Wu Ruishan was not harmed by the insect swarm in the slightest. That charming face emerged from the black mist-like insect swarm with a seductive smile. You Qianfei glared at this person with bared teeth and a cracked mouth. The woman, the big golden snake head on the other arm had revealed its fangs and bit down in a ferocious manner, aiming at Wu Ruishan's snow-white neck that was almost within reach!
At the beginning of the competition, the two of them were talking politely, but when they started fighting, they showed no mercy to each other as if there was a blood feud. The audience was stunned.
Just when everyone had no time to sweat for Wu Ruishan, a shocking scene appeared again. Just when the fangs of the golden snake were about to embed into the flesh and blood of Wu Ruishan's neck, suddenly the snow-white neck turned into a jet black. The color was so bright that the snake's teeth made a soft "click" sound when it bit it, as if it had bitten on something tough!
Then, just when the golden snake's head was tilted back to prepare for another blow, the black color on Wu Ruishan's neck took the opportunity to quickly climb onto the golden snake's head. Tang Ping was the first to understand this amazing change. Yes, she frowned slightly after seeing clearly what that pitch-black color was, and Yanxuan was so frightened that he let out a low cry after seeing clearly what was going on.
centipede.
Big black centipede.
When the golden snake bit him, the big black centipede wrapped its body around Wu Ruishan's neck, used its own hard armor to protect Wu Ruishan from the golden snake's fangs, and then immediately took the opportunity to climb onto the golden snake's head and start biting. !
"Ah" was heard again, and this time You Qianhui almost screamed!
You Qianfei was very embarrassed and frightened at this time. One of his arms turned into a snake body and a snake tail wrapped around Wu Ruisha's waist. For some reason, he couldn't get rid of it. The swarm of insects behind him flew over again, and he saw the pain of his flesh being devoured. Avoid, and there is a big black centipede lying firmly on the head of the golden snake that he transformed into in his other arm. The snake head was so painful that it twisted and beat it desperately but could not throw it away, causing You Qianhui's body to shake. All this seemed to be You Qianhui's normal reaction, but Tang Ping concluded at a glance that You Qianhui could not do it. Completely control your own spiritual beast.
Tang Ping could see that You Qianfei's spiritual beast must be a golden-scaled viper. This was unmistakable. This highly venomous spiritual snake was indeed a usable spiritual beast. It was a spiritual beast of some rank and difficult to obtain, but It's unlikely that You Qianhui's golden-scaled viper was raised by him since he was a child, or that the golden-scaled viper had already become a certain climate when it was caught. When it was caught, it was even more powerful than You Qianhui. Someone else caught it and gave it to You Qianhui. It was not You Qianhui who caught it and tamed it with his own hands. Therefore, this snake did not recognize You Qianhui as its owner. High, dependence is not strong, and obedience is even worse.
For this reason, in order to make the snake obey his orders, You Qianhui had no choice but to use blood feeding to appease the snake and make it obey his orders.
The so-called blood feeding method means that if the spirit-controlling monk acquires some powerful spiritual bird and beast and is temporarily unable to control it, if he feeds it with his own essence and blood every once in a while, it can have a soothing effect and make him able to obey orders. Act, otherwise, disobeying the master's orders is second to none. If it backfires in times of crisis, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Yuling lineage of the Wuling Sect believes that whether it is a spiritual bird or a spiritual beast, it is best to feed it when it is young and just born, or to directly obtain the eggs and hatch them yourself. Such spiritual birds and beasts Or only spirit insects regard their masters as their closest relatives, and they will do whatever they can to protect themselves whenever given orders.
This is why Tang Ping values Qingluan's eggs so much.
Of course there are exceptions. The most obvious example is Fairy Guhuo. Senior Guhuo’s original spirit beast was not the current nine-headed bird Ah Jiu. Her previous spirit beast was killed in a crisis in her early years, which made her big She suffered a loss, and Ah Jiu was someone she met by chance later. At that time, Senior Gu Huo was already at the level of foundation building, and Ah Jiu was considered a minor success at that time. Senior Gu Huo spent a lot of effort and time and failed many times. Only then did Ah Jiu surrender. It can be said that Ah Jiu's strength at that time was on par with Fairy Gu Huo at that time. Therefore, Ah Jiu was not very obedient at first when she was around Fairy Gu Huo, but what Fairy Gu Huo practiced was The authentic methods of the Yuling Sect of the Five Spirits Sect naturally have ways to deal with Ah Jiu, and Fairy Guhuo is not just tough, but pays equal attention to kindness and power. From time to time, she will beat Ah Jiu while also giving her benefits. The so-called benefits are pills.
Spiritual birds and beasts also need elixirs. The spirit beast elixirs that Yanxuan now refines are all prepared for Tang Ping. Fairy Guhuo relies on her own methods and the elixirs refined from Qixia Mountain to conquer Ah Jiu. Keep comforting her. In the future, when Fairy Guhuo's cultivation level rises and surpasses Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu will be so obedient that she will not dare to make any mistakes and can only obey her orders. Well, Ah Jiu loves Fairy Gu Huo. His manipulative temperament has not changed at all.
However, most of the spirit-controlling families in the spiritual world do not have such knowledge and means. If they obtain some rare and rare spirit beast, if they cannot control it and are very attracted to it, they will use the blood feeding method to make it temporarily surrender and work for themselves. , if in time one's own cultivation methods can suppress this spiritual beast, then the blood feeding method can be discontinued.
This You Qianfei probably had the same plan for his golden-scaled viper.
But the biggest drawback of the blood feeding method is that even if You Qianhu's golden-scaled viper is completely conquered by him in the future, the snake will always remember the taste and benefits of its master's blood...
This is the root of the problem. Once the owner suffers serious harm, the spirit beast subdued in this way will become rebellious. It goes without saying what the outcome will be.
Therefore, this blood feeding method is a method that is ignored in Yuling Sect.
…
You Qianhui, who was in severe pain in both arms, was naturally unwilling to fail. His body was shaken by an uncontrollable snake armband. Suddenly, he rushed forward and faced Wu Ruishan. He bumped into him. Of course, this bump was not his fault, but when he bumped into him, his disheveled hair stood up, and the black hair on his head suddenly turned into a head full of snake hair, with countless little snakes. The tiny fangs on his head were revealed ferociously, and they bit down on Wu Ruishan at the same time!
"Let me just say, how can a snake be called a thousand snakes? Sure enough, there is a way." Tang Ping said softly.
Wu Ruishan also responded very quickly. Just when You Qianfei bumped into him, she saw clearly that all the little snakes on his head were showing their fangs towards her. With a "bang", the gray powder swayed and opened up behind Wu Ruishan at the same time. The two huge gray-white wings were spread out, and there was a spot on each of them that looked like a big round eye, which looked extremely strange. With the rapid fluttering of the big wings, Wu Ruishan's body retreated backwards. Naturally, she had released her grip on You Qianfei's arm at this time, and was a few feet away from him in an instant. But when she was still retreating, two slender ropes came from behind her head and from both sides of her body. The shoulder shot out, and one line wrapped around You Qianhui's neck, and another line wrapped around his arms, chest and abdomen. Although the snake's head was bitten by the big black centipede and struggled desperately, the slender rope tightened tighter and tighter, along with You Qianfei's face turned red.
Tang Ping was surprised. She tried her best to distinguish Wu Ruishan's method. The wings on her back were the Jade Spirit Technique?
no!
At this time, there was a large gray-white moth lying on Wu Ruishan's back. Its slender legs and feet were firmly grasped on Wu Ruishan's body, so that it could move with Wu Ruishan when it flapped its wings. And those two slender ropes are actually the two tentacles on the head of this big moth. This is not the Jade Spirit Technique, just the Spirit Control Technique, but this big moth is much more powerful than You Qianhui's Golden Scale Viper. There are many, so even though You Qianhui has mastered the Jade Spirit Technique, he is still unable to defeat Wu Ruishan's Spirit Control Technique!
"My dear, Sister Tang, what is that thing on that woman's back?" Lu Pingchuan asked in shock.
"Lone Moon Moth, alas, I just said that Wu Ruishan's blood feeding method cannot be for eating elephant ants, nor can it be the centipede. It turns out that she has a Lone Moon Moth, no wonder..."
"Are those bugs powerful?"
"It's very powerful. Well, maybe it can compare with Shangguan Hong's golden scorpion."
"This mother-in-law is really good. How can she get so many bugs when she doesn't take care of anything else!"
On stage.
Wu Ruishan looked at You Qianfei, whose face was red, and asked softly:
"Young Master, the matter has come to this, what do you say?"
Being strangled so hard that she could hardly breathe, Wu Ruishan relaxed a little and then You Qianhui reluctantly said:
"I...I'm...defeated!"
Then, both the rope and the giant centipede, including the group of elephant-eating ants flying in the air, all disappeared. You Qianhui suddenly collapsed on the stage. Well, his arms were not injured. This competition What was really injured was his golden-scaled viper.
However, this competition is the most intense, but it makes people feel confused in their hearts. In short, it makes people uncomfortable. The methods of the two people make people shudder.
The foundation-building monks in the audience loudly announced that Wu Ruishan had won.
When Wu Ruishan walked off the stage, she saw Qian Chao and the five people sitting in front. She had met them in Youming Valley. She recognized the five people at a glance. However, after all, she had helped Qin Suijie calculate these five people, so It was impossible for her to come and talk.
Tang Ping couldn't help but look back at Wu Ruishan's back. For some reason, she always felt that this woman would do something behind her back like in Youming Valley.
When they were in Young Ming Valley, the two sisters were always worried about whether they could pass the body training. As children of aristocratic families, if they could not continue to practice through body training, they would be regarded as useless if they were sent back to the original family. The Wu sisters In order to enter the Wuling Sect, they teamed up with Qin Suijie to obtain his "Zhuangling Pill". Of course, this also involved the emotional entanglement between the two of them and Shen Weiye (named Wei Liao at the time). Maybe because The reason for Shen Wei is involved. The two of them have their own thoughts about Shen Wei, and the situation becomes delicate. After truly entering the Five Spirits Sect, although they lost contact with Shen Weiwei, the two sisters gradually became like passers-by.
My younger sister Wu Ruiyuan is a bit weak in character, but she has good qualifications and is willing to work hard in practice. Therefore, regardless of the cultivation methods, she is actually better than Wu Ruishan. Even Wu Ruiyuan was the first to break through the fifth level. This makes Wu Ruishan unwilling to accept herself. She was unwilling to lose to her sister in everything and raised the Moon Moth with blood.
Unwillingness, love of comparison, many ideas, and some extreme methods, these are the things that make Wu Ruishan's final outcome completely different from Wu Ruiyuan's. Of course, this is a story for another day.
(You readers should have noticed a long time ago that there were many new faces and new names in this Cheng Guan En Examination. Even people who have not appeared for a long time have appeared. In fact, the author is setting the stage for the future of Qian Chao Wu. People are foreshadowing after building the foundation. The story lines after they build the foundation will not be drawn out now, but the characters who will appear in the future should be warmed up now, so as not to appear abrupt when they appear. The story of Qian Chao, Tang Ping and others in the Qi refining stage It’s almost coming to an end, and with a few more events over, it’s natural for them to go to a bigger stage and venture into a wider world. Please continue to pay attention to this story, thank you.)
