This time Ning Tao went directly to the big one and invested all one thousand spiritual stones. Starting from the first round, the spiritual stones obtained by winning each round were directly invested in the next one.
The fat monk and the monks around him all widened their eyes after hearing this. At this time, Yang Song and Pan Yue, who were next to him, also looked at Ning Tao in astonishment.
The fat monk was stunned after hearing this, but after thinking about it for a while, he discussed with the tall and thin monk next to him and agreed to Ning Tao's gambling method, so the two parties signed the agreement in the presence of everyone.
After signing the agreement, the stone in Ning Tao's heart finally fell. He knew that as long as he won, the resources he had before building the foundation would be enough. Not only that, with these spiritual stones, he could be free for a while even after building the foundation.
According to my own calculations, to cultivate the elixir to the tenth level of Qi training, I will need a small two thousand spirit stones, to cultivate to the eleventh level, I will need four thousand spirit stones, and to the twelveth level, it will be tens of thousands of spirit stones.
If he were to practice the "Condensing Yuan Art" to refine his true essence, he would still need five to six thousand spiritual stones as a foundation. In addition, if he practiced the Hunyuan Art, he would need more than ten thousand spiritual stones to reach the eleventh level.
Each level of cultivation requires four or five times the spiritual stones of the previous level. So to cultivate to the twelfth level, it will require 50,000 to 60,000 spiritual stones, and to cultivate to break through the foundation building, it will take tens of thousands of spiritual stones. The total consumption will be consumed. More than 100,000 spiritual stones.
If you just rely on yourself to perform sect tasks normally, you may not be able to reach the foundation-building level in ten years while practicing both the Yuan Condensation Art and the body and law, unless you are willing to spend a lot of time to make up for this situation.
However, now that all the senior brothers have evaluated his own strength, he still has great confidence in winning in this decade-level battle.
Even if he fails, he can still bear this loss. At worst, he can shamelessly borrow some from Senior Brother Yang and repay the loan without mortgaging his magical weapon.
However, if he wins, he will no longer have to worry about the resources he had before he advanced to foundation building. Thinking of this, Ning Tao had an unnatural smile on his face.
At this time, everyone who was paying attention to Ning Tao felt a little strange when they saw Ning Tao acting like this.
As for the fat Taoist, he had a bad premonition and secretly used his spiritual thoughts to explore Ning Tao's cultivation.
When Ning Tao saw this, his spiritual thoughts moved and he suddenly flicked away the fat Taoist's spiritual thoughts with a gloomy expression on his face.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is a taboo to probe into other people's cultivation without any reason, especially among sects, even senior brothers would not do such a rash thing easily.
Ning Tao stared at the fat monk with a gloomy expression. After exploring Ning Tao's details, the fat monk secretly clicked his tongue and understood where the bad feeling in his heart was.
Because although there are monks who have practiced Condensing Yuan Jue at the eleventh level after only practicing Qi for the tenth level, there are not many monks who can maintain such a fast cultivation speed.
At least this fat Taoist has never seen it before. The most important thing is that he found that Ning Tao actually practiced both law and body, and judging from his situation, it was at least equivalent to the ninth level of Qi training.
When this happens, there is only one possibility. There is someone behind this kid, and at least he is a Jindan elder, maybe not an ordinary Jindan elder.
The fat Taoist cursed in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, don't take offense to your reckless behavior. I will give you this high-grade magic weapon as an apology!"
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a flying sword from his storage bag.
When Ning Tao saw this, his originally gloomy face was stunned. First, he was surprised by the fat monk's actions, and second, the high-grade magic weapon this guy took out was the Huoyuan Sword that he had eliminated before.
Ning Tao was dumbfounded as he took the Huoyuan Sword from the Foundation Establishment cultivator as an apology. Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the other disciples when they saw this situation.
After a while, a smart disciple showed a look of surprise.
After Ning Tao and others left, the tall and thin Taoist next to him asked the fat Taoist why he was like this. The fat Taoist told the tall and thin Taoist his analysis.
After hearing the words, the tall and thin Taoist pondered for a moment, then summoned the paper crane and whispered to it a few times, then let it fly away to an unknown destination.
At this time, Ning Tao and the others who left here came to a quiet corner. Yang Song and Pan Yue asked about the situation just now.
Ning Tao didn't hide anything when he saw this, and told the two of them about the fat Taoist's use of spiritual power to explore his cultivation. The two of them were stunned after hearing this, but neither of them asked about Ning Tao's gambling.
In the world of immortality, everyone has their own secrets. Even if a few people are relatively familiar with each other, such actions will destroy each other's feelings.
Although more than a thousand spirit stones are considered a lot for ordinary qi training disciples, for disciples like them who rely on their master and senior brothers, the loss will only slightly affect the subsequent practice, but it will not hurt their muscles and bones.
...
As the sun rises on the east mountain, the road is bright, and a group of monks drive their magic weapons to the high platform at the outer gate hall.
When the people milling around the square saw the arrival of the outer sect elders who were presiding over the sect competition, they all stopped talking and waited quietly.
I saw more than a dozen outer sect elders leaving the high platform, patting their waists, and the brilliance flashed in their hands. The small magic weapons that looked like arenas slowly grew from the size of a palm, and finally turned into more than a dozen huge magic weapons with a radius of tens of meters. The arena fell to the center of the square and formed a circle.
As the arena landed, there were loud noises, causing ripples in the magic circle on the square.
Seeing this, the head leader on the high platform said: "Disciples practice hard and strive to be the first. According to the sect's rules, the annual sect competition will be held today to test the cultivation achievements of all the disciples in the school. Those who excel will be the sect generals." Rewards will be given, and the losers will have to continue to practice hard and take a step further. Without further ado, the sect competition will officially begin."
After saying that, he stood up and returned to the seat behind him, but at this time the leader was not sitting in the main seat, but just sitting in a lower position, leaving the main seat in the middle free.
Everyone who already knew the rules came to the ring in their own group in twos and threes, waiting for the battle.
When Ning Tao and others saw this, they also stood up and walked towards the ten-year group ring.
When I came to the arena, I saw an outer sect elder driving a magic weapon standing in front of each arena.
After seeing the disciples getting ready, they announced which disciples were waiting for the battle in a specific arena.
When the elders of the outer sect announced the list, a beautiful woman in plain clothes who looked like a fairy, stepped on a blue luan, flew slowly towards the morning glow, and finally landed directly on the high platform, walking towards the main hand position Sit down.
When the elders of the outer sect saw the beautiful woman, they stood up and saluted.
I saw this young fairy wearing a green shirt and robes smiling and greeting slightly. After sitting down, he turned to the headmaster who was sitting next to him and asked something.
When Ning Tao and others saw this, before they had time to think about it, a small discussion came from the side, and several people hurriedly listened.
It was learned from everyone that the beautiful monk who stepped on Qingluan just now was actually a golden elixir stage monk in the Yao Vein, named Fairy Qingluan.
Fairy Qingluan is one of the few high-level golden elixir female cultivators of Yaowang Sect. She is the target of many disciples of the sect. She is as gentle as water and as beautiful as flowers. I don’t know how many disciples have trouble sleeping because of her at night... ...
For example, every year in the sect's competition, an elder at the Golden Core Realm will participate in the competition. He is a guest invited by the outer sect. First, it shows the contribution of the elders of the outer sect to the sect. Second, it reflects the fairness and impartiality of the competition. I don't know if there are other reasons...
In fact, this is another thing that these monks who have the opportunity to participate in the sect competition are most interested in. Even if they are noticed by the Jindan elder who is watching the battle because of their outstanding performance, they will accept him as a disciple and reach the sky in one step, and their path will be smooth. possible.
Because there have been many such precedents before, but not every time these Jindan elders will be willing to accept disciples. When the sect competition is held every ten years, it will be a rare grand scene in the sect.
At that time, there will even be great elders of Nascent Soul coming to watch the competition, and many Jindan elders will participate. In every sect competition, more than ten people will be accepted by the Jindan elders. At that time, the sect will really be A rare event in China...
But here, after Ning Tao and others found out that the three of them were in different arenas, Yang Song was in Arena A, Panyue was in Arena B, and Ning Tao was in Arena C.
The three arenas A, B, and C are the competition venues for the ten-year group disciples. The top ten in each arena are considered to have passed the preliminary round. After that, the thirty disciples will compete separately to determine the final top ten.
Half of these thirty disciples were directly eliminated in one round, and then the disciples who had byes were eliminated. They competed in another round, and the top seven were taken out. The remaining failed disciples and the disciples who had byes were challenged on their own.
To put it simply, whoever challenges whomever is chosen will be eliminated until the remaining three disciples are ranked among the top ten in the group to participate in the final competition. The arenas at the back are the arenas for the 20-year-old and 30-year-old groups. Among them, the 20-year-old disciples have the most arenas, with a total of six, and the 30-year-old disciples have slightly less, with five arenas.
On the other hand, the paper crane that flew away from the tall and thin monk's hand soon flew back again.
The tall and thin Taoist informed the fat Taoist next to him about the information that Zhi He had learned from his acquaintances. The fat Taoist frowned slightly and the smile on his face disappeared.
Wait until all the preparations for the competition are in place.
The outer sect elders in charge of the arena used magic techniques to activate the arena, and transparent masks were seen rising from around the arena. After that, the outer sect elders began to sing according to the battle roster prepared in advance, and arranged for the disciples to compete on the stage. .
Ning Tao and others looked at the two senior brothers who came on stage. After greeting each other, they activated their defensive methods. Then they started fighting back and forth. You used a flying sword, and I used a spell.
After watching a few games, Ning Tao felt that the level of these people was not as good as when he and others were competing, but they did have relatively rich fighting experience.
Soon it was Yang Song's turn to play. Ning Tao, who was waiting for the game, did not watch Yang Song's game. He just stood quietly in the audience and waited.
