Time passed and two years passed.
There is a steep peak, and at the foot of the mountain stands a silver stone tablet more than ten feet high, with three golden characters "Yanwu Peak" written on it.
At the top of the mountain is a bluestone square with an area of 10,000 acres. Directly in front of it sits a golden palace more than thirty feet high. The plaque reads "Yanwu Hall" in three large silver characters.
There are hundreds of 100-foot bluestone arenas in the square. Some of the bluestone arenas are covered by blue light curtains. Some Yuling Sect disciples are fighting martial arts, and some are fighting beasts.
More than a hundred Yuling Sect disciples gathered near a bluestone arena, and a thick cyan light curtain covered the entire arena.
Shen Long fought with a beautiful woman in her early thirties in a blue skirt, and the two sides competed in spells.
Shen Long raised his right hand, and a giant fireball as big as a water tank flew out and hit the young woman in the green skirt.
The young woman in the green skirt shook her right hand, and a half-foot-long giant wind blade flew out, cutting the giant fireball in half, and the giant wind blade went straight towards Chen Long.
Shen Long's body swayed and appeared several feet away, avoiding the giant wind blade. The giant wind blade hit the cyan light curtain, causing the cyan light curtain to shake.
"In this competition, I don't know who will win."
A young man in a green shirt with regular features spoke.
"Of course it's Senior Brother Shen. Senior Brother Shen has mastered five first-level spells to perfection, and his strength is extraordinary."
Qian Dafu said proudly.
"That's not necessarily true. Senior Sister Sun is at the ninth level of Qi refining and has mastered four first-level spells to perfection, while Senior Brother Shen is only at the eighth level of Qi refining."
A pretty girl in a blue dress analyzed.
"Hmph, it must be Senior Brother Shen who wins."
Qian Dafu was full of confidence.
"Look, Senior Brother Shen is tied up by the winding talisman. It seems he is going to lose."
The girl in the blue dress looked excited.
After hearing this, Qian Dafu quickly looked towards the bluestone arena.
Two thick green vines entangled Shen Long's feet, and a half-foot-long giant wind blade flew towards Shen Long.
Shen Long raised his right hand, and a three-foot-long white ice pick flew out and faced the giant wind blade.
The white ice pick collided with the giant wind blade and was cut in half by the giant wind blade. A strange cold air surged out. The speed of the giant wind blade slowed down, and some white frost appeared on the surface.
Taking this opportunity, Shen Long threw two red fireballs, burning the green vines and regaining his freedom.
Shen Long's feet glowed brightly, turning into an afterimage that moved quickly on the bluestone arena, releasing red fireballs and hitting the young woman in the green skirt.
The young woman in the green skirt raised her hands, and giant wind blades flew out to meet him.
The giant wind blade collided with the giant fireball, green and red lights blazing, and flames scattered in all directions.
Shen Long appeared behind the young woman in the green skirt without any warning. The young woman in the green skirt noticed Shen Long's presence and was about to avoid it when a thick green vine emerged under her feet and wrapped around her body. A huge fireball flew towards the young woman in the green skirt and hit the green light curtain on the young woman's body. There was a loud noise and the billowing flames flooded the body of the young woman in the green skirt.
Shen Long kept releasing house-sized red fireballs, hitting the young woman in the green skirt, and the fire increased greatly.
"Stop, Junior Brother Shen, I surrender."
A hurried female voice sounded.
Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief and stopped casting spells.
Not long after, the red flames dissipated, revealing the figure of a young woman in a green skirt. She was wearing a burnt green vine armor, and her face was slightly pale.
"I accept it, Senior Sister Sun."
Shen Long cupped his fists and said.
The young woman in the green skirt is called Sun Yao. She comes from Qingmei Peak. She has the ninth level of Qi refining and has disciples in her family.
Shen Long has been a disciple for more than two years. He has mastered the basic knowledge of immortal cultivation and has completely integrated into the Yuling Sect.
In his spare time, he would go to Yanwu Peak to practice spells and compete with other Qi Refining monks.
There are many types of competitions among the Qi Refining monks of the Yuling Sect. Most of them are fighting beasts and insects. However, Shen Long’s spirit beasts and insects are of different levels.
At a low level, he can only compete with other Qi refining monks in their techniques.
Most of the disciples born in the Yuling Sect have chosen their natal spirit beasts during the Qi Refining Stage, and use their natal spirit beasts to practice techniques to make up for their own shortcomings. Of course, due to financial constraints, some disciples will advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Choose your natal spiritual beast and practice with peace of mind before building the foundation.
Shen Long relied on the five first-level spells of Dzogchen to defeat many Qi-refining monks, and became famous among the Qi-refining monks.
"Junior Brother Shen, there is no need to be humble. If you win, you win. If I lose, I will be convinced."
Sun Yao said seriously.
"Haha, I knew Senior Brother Shen could win."
Qian Dafu said excitedly.
"Hmph, our Yuling Sect is not famous for our magic. If we win the battle between beasts, insects and birds, then that's how powerful we are."
The girl in the blue dress said unconvinced.
"Junior sister Liu, what you said is wrong. Senior brother Shen is a new disciple. He lacks medical treatment and medicine. It is already difficult to reach the eighth level of Qi refining. How can he have so many resources to cultivate spiritual beasts and insects? Senior sister Sun Our ancestors have been disciples of the Yuling Sect for seven generations, and there have been foundation-building monks who are much higher than Senior Brother Shen. Fighting beasts, insects, and birds is simply not fair."
Qian Dafu corrected him.
The girl in the blue skirt wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Sun Yao: "Okay, Qingqing, what Junior Brother Qian said makes sense. Mine is taller than Junior Brother Shen. Even if you win the battle with the beast, you won't win with force. The triennial competition The competition is coming soon, I hope Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Qian can get a good ranking, let’s go back!”
Sun Yao slapped the green spirit beast bag on her waist, and a sharp crane roar sounded, and a ray of green light flew out, transforming into a giant blue crane with wings spread about two feet in size, with a bunch of red feathers on its head.
The late-stage red-crowned crane flies very fast.
Sun Yao and Liu Qingqing walked on the back of the red-crowned crane. The crane flapped its wings gently, blowing a strong wind and flying high into the sky.
The onlookers gradually dispersed and went back to their homes.
"Senior Brother Shen, it's getting late, let's go back to Qingyun Peak!"
Qian Dafu suggested, sacrificing a red fire crow about ten feet tall and walked on the back of the red fire crow.
Shen Long nodded and followed the red fire crow's back.
The red fire crow let out a "croak" cry, flapped its wings lightly, and a hot wind swept out, soared into the sky and flew towards Qingyun Peak.
Shen Long has been in the business for more than two years and has become familiar with Qian Dafu.
Qian Dafu was well-informed and had extensive connections, and he often provided information to Shen Long.
Back at Qingyun Peak, Shen Long and Qian Dafu went to Lingshan Pavilion.
At this time, not many disciples were dining in Lingshan Pavilion.
Shen Long and Qian Dafu used their identity tags to receive their dinner, found an empty table and sat down, chatting while eating.
"Senior Brother Shen, in a few days, the triennial competition will be held. With your ability, you will definitely get a good ranking. If you need to buy something then, you can buy it with me."
Qian Dafu said enthusiastically.
"Junior Brother Qian, aren't you going to participate in the competition?"
Shen Long said doubtfully.
"I'm not interested. I have little fighting experience and my cultivation is not high. I can't get a good ranking in the competition. I know myself."
Qian Dafu said.
He accumulated a fortune by reselling and buying.
"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Tang and Senior Brother Qin should be able to get a good ranking."
Shen Long said.
"It's hard to say. It's not necessarily a dark horse. It's a little difficult to be in the top ten. If you're in the top fifty, I think you have a chance."
Qian Dafu said.
He was very optimistic about Shen Long, thinking that Shen Long had not yet risen, so he would get closer to Shen Long early.
Shen Long was too self-disciplined. In addition to practicing, he went to the Tuiye Pavilion to listen to the lectures. Gu Tianhong, Tang Yuting and other disciples from the cultivating family only listened for three months. After three months, they stopped going to the Tuiye Pavilion. Expand your network with help and make friends with classmates who are strong or have great potential.
The Gu family spent a lot of money to hire a second-level alchemist to teach Gu Tianhong how to make alchemy, while Tang Yuting studied
When it comes to weapon refining, most of the new disciples like Shen Long who come from casual cultivating backgrounds are immersed in hard work and do not have extra spiritual stones to learn a skill.
Shen Long smiled and said nothing. After dinner, he left Lingshan Pavilion and walked down the mountain.
He returned to the entrance of Qingmeiyuan, took out the token to open the ban, pushed the door open and walked in. What greeted him was a two-foot-tall silver ear of rice, with dozens of silver rice the size of broad beans hanging on each ear of rice. .
The silver marrow rice is not yet mature.
Lin Cheng took good care of the silver marrow rice. The rice was growing very well, and Shen Long didn't worry about it.
He closed the courtyard door and walked into Qingmei Pavilion.
Shen Long came to a secret room and was greeted by the Iron-tailed Scorpion. It was more than a circle bigger and was still in the middle of the first order.
Shen Long has been feeding the iron-tailed scorpion with silver marrow spiritual rice and one spiritual feeding pill for three months.
The iron-tailed scorpion hissed happily, its tail stinger swaying left and right.
Shen Long took out a white rice bag, took out a large handful of silver marrow rice, and threw it on the ground.
The iron-tailed scorpion started to eat. Shen Long patted a golden spirit animal bag on his waist, and dozens of gold-eating ants flew out. One of the gold-eating ants was relatively large, and it was the queen.
The gold-eating ants have multiplied to forty-five, all at the early stage of the first level. If Shen Long's financial resources were not limited, the number could have increased several times.
Shen Long took out three fist-sized pieces of black iron ore and threw them on the ground.
Forty-five gold-eating ants flew knives on the black iron ore and started to bite it. The queen ant occupied a piece of black iron ore and did not allow other gold-eating ants to get close.
It didn't take long for them to eat three pieces of black iron ore, and the iron-tailed scorpion also ate the silver marrow rice on the ground.
Shen Long put the gold-eating ants back into the spirit beast bag and entered the Spirit-Conquering Tower.
An excited roar rang out, and the Fire Rock Beast rushed out of the Yuling Pool. It was much larger and had already advanced to the middle of the first level. It took one spirit feeding pill a month.
The fire rock beast is more resistant to beatings. Shen Long has been training it, hoping that the fire rock beast can play a greater role in the small competition.
Shen Long took out two handfuls of silver marrow rice and fed them to the fire rock beast. It ate four kilograms of silver marrow rice and was still not satisfied. It rubbed its head against Shen Long's trouser legs.
"Xiao Bi is coming soon, I hope you can help."
Shen Long talked to himself.
The fire rock beast seemed to understand, and let out a loud roar, as if to say: "Trust me."
Shen Long could feel the Fire Rock Beast's desire, took out a spirit feeding pill and fed it to the Fire Rock Beast.
