After a while, the old man in the Jindan stage took out a gray-black jade tube from the storage ring. What was obviously contained in the tube was bamboo sticks for grouping.
"Okay, all contestants, come up one by one and draw lots. Those who draw the same number will go to the back field for the first round of competition."
As he spoke, the old man released his hand holding the jade tube, and his spiritual energy lingered on it to hold it up.
The jade tube is suspended in mid-air, waiting for everyone to come forward and extract it.
And the spiritual power lingering on the jade tube at this moment seems to have the effect of isolating everyone's perception. Unless there is someone present who has a higher cultivation level than this old man, it is impossible to cheat during the lottery.
Everyone understood this and no one cheated.
After the old man stepped back, they took turns stepping forward to draw the bamboo sticks.
The monks did not hide anything after they drew the lot, because there was no way to cheat, so naturally it could only be whatever they drew, and there was nothing to hide.
It’s just that if the monk who has not yet drawn the bamboo stick sees that the person who has drawn a certain character is very powerful, he will probably pray that he will not be so unlucky to draw the corresponding character next time.
Soon everyone had bamboo sticks in their hands.
Because of the presence of the old man at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, no one dared to make any strange moves such as exchanging bamboo sticks or any other strange actions.
"Now then...please come forward to the two people whose numbers are drawn."
As the old man's calm voice sounded, the bamboo sticks in the hands of two people in the crowd flickered with faint spiritual light.
It seems that every bamboo stick has been imprinted by the old man in front of him. Unless the old man helps cheat, anyone who cheats will be easily discovered by him.
After seeing the two competing monks coming out, the old man waved gently.
boom--
A stone door on the wall behind was opened.
"The competition venue is behind this stone gate. After the winner is determined, it will be opened again. The winner will be determined by one party surrendering or losing the ability to fight. Please be careful not to kill." The old man reminded again in a cold tone.
"clear."
The two monks who came out nodded one after another, and then they both made polite gestures of invitation to each other, and walked into the room together.
After the two people entered, the stone door was closed again, and the vague spiritual power enveloped the entire room, making it impossible for people outside to detect what was going on inside.
I thought the two would fight for a long time, but I didn't expect that in less than a quarter of an hour, the stone door would open again, and it seemed that the winner had been decided.
The two of them were of equal cultivation, and they also had no spiritual power, so they naturally had to fight hand-to-hand to determine the outcome, so it was inevitable that there were traces of embarrassment on their bodies at this moment.
However, one of them had a look of confidence on his face, and it was obvious that he had won.
Sure enough, after the man came to the old man and bowed, he walked to the rest area nearby to recover his strength. The other person quietly left the scene with a decadent look on his face.
The next few competitions will proceed very quickly. After all, the cultivation span of the monks here is quite large. There are also weak ones in the Qi refining stage, strong ones even in the Golden elixir stage, and the drawing is completely random, so once If you are unlucky enough to meet someone with a higher level of cultivation than yourself, there will be almost no suspense at all.
In Sun Haoran's opinion, this was nothing.
After all, this competition is unfair from the beginning. A powerful chamber of commerce can even spend a lot of money to hire strong people to participate.
This is completely in line with the law of the jungle in the world of cultivation.
In a sense, no island is willing to hand over the task of transporting materials between islands to a weak chamber of commerce.
Chambers of commerce that have the ability to temporarily hire powerful monks to participate in competitions will obviously hire stronger men during daily transportation than weak chambers of commerce. There is no contradiction between this.
This so-called qualifying competition is actually a time for each family to compete for their wealth.
Under normal circumstances, it is the final battle between several chambers of commerce with equal strength.
But this time, who knew someone like Sun Haoran would appear.
Soon, the bamboo stick in Sun Haoran's hand also
It lit up.
Coincidentally, he seems to be the type that everyone thinks is very unlucky.
Because the person who drew the bamboo stick with the same character as him was one of the few early-stage Jindan monks present.
"Please? Fellow Taoist."
I saw the golden elixir monk looking at Sun Haoran arrogantly and inviting him.
"please."
Sun Haoran smiled softly, didn't pay much attention, and walked straight into the room behind the stone door.
There is a different world behind this stone gate. Although it is a closed room as a arena, the space is quite large. Even flying with a sword seems to be able to be used in it.
As Sun Haoran's opponent, the golden elixir cultivator exuded faint spiritual power fluctuations as soon as he came in. It seemed that there was spiritual power in his body.
"Fellow Taoist, I think you should just admit defeat? Although you are at the pinnacle of foundation building, you are still no match for me at the Golden Core stage, not to mention that I still have spiritual power. I Let’s see, why don’t you stop fighting? This way I don’t have to waste my spiritual energy, and my fellow Taoists don’t have to get hurt.”
When the stone door was closed, the Golden elixir monk opposite looked at Sun Haoran with a chuckle and suggested indifferently.
"..."
Sun Haoran did not answer when he heard this. He just looked at the "master" in the early stage of the golden elixir in front of him as if he were looking at a fool.
After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are reluctant to consume spiritual energy?
Thinking of this, Sun Haoran couldn't help but smile.
"What's so funny?" Jindan cultivator saw the smile on Sun Haoran's face and asked with a slight frown, "Do you think you can beat me?"
"No, I just think this fellow Taoist is such a good person. He is worried about hurting me. I'm really grateful." Sun Haoran smiled teasingly.
"Hmph, it's good to know! Why don't you admit defeat quickly?" The Golden Core cultivator said angrily, his body's spiritual power surged, as if it was about to explode at any time.
"Don't be so excited, fellow Taoist. How about we play a game?" Sun Haoran suggested.
"What game? No...who wants to play a game with you? Hurry up! Admit it——"
boom--
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Jindan monk's words stopped abruptly, and he felt as if his whole head was buzzing.
Because his head was pressed to the ground by Sun Haoran who had approached him at some point.
"It's not up to you whether you want to play or not."
Sun Haoran looked down at him with a sneer, "But for the sake of your kindness, let's set some rules before the game starts, right?"
"What?"
The eyes of the Golden Core Stage cultivator were full of disbelief.
He is in the golden elixir stage! And the kid in front of him is just at the pinnacle of foundation building! And there isn’t even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations on his body!
How could he be subdued by the opponent with just one blow, without even having time to react! ?
"The rule is, if you cry and beg for mercy, I will stop."
"boom--"
Fear spread along with Sun Haoran's falling words and fists in the golden elixir monk's hole.
Soon after, the stone door opened again.
The monks waiting outside only heard bursts of cries of mercy coming from inside, like crazy words.
Originally they thought that the golden elixir monk was too cruel, and even the old man at the peak of the golden elixir who was guarding outside frowned slightly.
It was just a competition. He said he was not allowed to kill anyone, and the implication was to ask some of these Jindan monks to show mercy.
After all, any normal person would understand that this competition was just a process, and in the end it was these monks who were invited by several chambers of commerce who were in the early stages of the Golden Elixir to compete for a spot.
However, when everyone saw clearly who came out of the door, the whole place suddenly became silent.
Oh no, after Sun Haoran walked out, the shouting inside seemed to continue.
"Yes...I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't dare to be arrogant anymore! Please...please let go
Pass me! ah! Don't slap me in the face!
Don't slap me in the face!
stop fighting!
I...I give up!
Give up! "
"..."
Everyone looked at Sun Haoran who walked out as if nothing had happened with strange eyes.
Even the old man at the peak of Jindan as a manager couldn't help but feel a little curious about him.
What happened in the room just now?
How can a monk who is in the foundation building stage and has no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body frighten a monk who is in the early stage of the golden elixir into such a neurotic look?
············
After looking at Sun Haoran a little thoughtfully, the old man coughed twice to bring the monks back to their senses, and then presided over the competition.
Soon, the first round of competition ended.
But the old man didn't seem to want to give the monks any rest, and immediately began to prepare everyone for the second round of competition.
The second round of competition is different from the first. Instead of drawing lots, you choose your opponent.
Of course, in order to prevent those with low cultivation levels from suffering, they were naturally selected in order from low to high cultivation level.
Those who can stand out in the first round naturally have some strength, so the atmosphere becomes tense again.
The only one who is leisurely and content is probably Sun Haoran.
Because people who are weaker than him will definitely not dare to choose him as their opponent because of what happened just now.
This put pressure on the remaining early Jindan cultivators.
Because if no one has picked Sun Haoran as his opponent before it is Sun Haoran's turn, Sun Haoran is at the peak of foundation building, and then naturally there will only be a few of them at the Golden Core stage for Sun Haoran to choose.
Although I don’t know what happened in that room just now, in the end, the early-stage Jindan monk was carried out.
They believe that there is not much difference in strength between themselves and the opponent, so if they encounter Sun Haoran, a peak foundation-building monk who can leapfrog and kill the early stage of the Golden Core, they really don't know how to deal with it.
In short, whoever is chosen will be unlucky.
Seeing that the people around him looked at him with fear, Sun Haoran couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Sure enough, no matter where you go, it makes more sense to speak with your fists.
After that, under the urging of the old man who was at the peak of the golden elixir, the monks began to select their opponents in order of their cultivation level.
Of course, most of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage choose people of the same level as themselves as their opponents, and the same goes for the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even if the final pick is left, there is a monk who is also at the pinnacle of foundation building like Sun Haoran. He would rather pick a master who is in the early stage of the golden elixir as his opponent than face Sun Haoran.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard they struggled, they still had to face the pervert Sun Haoran in the end.
Soon it was Sun Haoran's turn to choose his opponent.
It doesn't matter who he chooses, but currently there are only a few players in the early stage of Jindan who have no opponents, so he picks one at random.
Perhaps because he had learned from the past, the golden elixir monk had a solemn look on his face, without any intention of underestimating the enemy. He entered the room with Sun Haoran vigilantly.
Then……
Then in less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Haoran knocked him out like a chicken and took him out. This was the result of Sun Haoran's mercy and deliberate delay.
It's just a golden elixir realm. If you really want to get serious, one move is enough.
But after thinking about it, it would not be good to act too high-profile, so Sun Haoran chose to act in a low-key manner.
Seeing this scene, all the contestants realized that the competition was hopeless.
Even in the subsequent rounds, those who met Sun Haoran directly chose to admit defeat.
After all, the two monks who were in the early stages of the Golden Core had shown themselves to be very skillful. They had already assumed that this guy was hiding his ability to come here to fry fish.
However, the rules do not stipulate that there is a limit on the cultivation level of the participants. As long as the chamber of commerce has the ability to invite them, then there will be no problem.
So no one can do anything to Sun Haoran.
Finally, after several rounds of competition, the old man at the peak of the golden elixir had no choice but to announce that Sun Haoran had won this five-year qualification to transport important supplies to "Ye Ming City".
The so-called important materials are, of course, the various resources containing spiritual power that "Ye Ming City" purchased from other places at a large price.
The rewards that can be obtained are naturally rich spiritual resources, and part of the rewards are paid in advance as a deposit.
It can be said that no matter which chamber of commerce obtains such qualification, it will develop rapidly in the next five years.
After all, spiritual resources are extremely precious. Even a weak chamber of commerce can definitely hire some strong people to complete the tasks as long as they rely on deposits. Although there are still certain risks, they are nothing compared to the benefits.
In short, Wang Wei took a big advantage.
But Sun Haoran didn't care about this, because the other party promised to give him 40% of the profits in the next five years, which is not a small amount.
In this way, he finally had a way to restore his spiritual power. Although I am afraid that even if all these spiritual resources are absorbed, they will not be enough to refine divine power, but at least they can still use spiritual power, which is better than nothing.
Later, the old man at the peak of the Golden Core handed over the "Ye Ming City" token representing his qualifications to Sun Haoran, and looked at him with a strange look, as if he wanted to say something.
But I don’t know if he had any scruples, but he didn’t ask the old man why until Sun Haoran left.
Under the leadership of Ren Zimo, Sun Haoran returned to the previous lounge. Wang Wei had been waiting for a long time while rubbing his hands.
This guy knew from the beginning that as long as Sun Haoran was willing to help, the five years of qualifications would be something in his pocket.
After all, this is a ruthless person who can kill the Golden Core stage ferocious beast with one move. The ferocious beasts in the same realm are much stronger than humans, so even if he faces a Golden Core stage monk with spiritual power, there will be no surprises.
