It took Qingyang almost four or five hours to finish digesting the piece of snow muscle cream that he had dug out before, expelling all the useless things, and the Mihe Powder was refined and absorbed by him. Just as Qingyang expected, the Mihe Powder was indeed It has a certain effect on repairing the cracks in the golden elixir, and Qingyang's condition has also improved, but the change is not very big, and more efforts are needed.
So for a period of time after that, Qingyang stayed in the inn. Soon half a month passed. Qingyang almost didn't leave the house, spending all his time absorbing and refining the snow muscle cream. The preliminaries for the Holy Son have not started yet, but more and more monks are coming to Tongcoff County. Ma Xingchen has also been visiting relatives and friends during this period. He usually only takes the old guards with him when going out, and does not need anything else. People followed, saving Qingyang a lot of trouble.
The large bottle of snow muscle ointment has been used by Qingyang. After removing the impurities, absorbing, refining and dispersing it, the effect is still good. The cracks in Qingyang's golden elixir have obviously improved. Now they can even mobilize a small amount of true essence for use, although the amount is not large. , but it’s a good start.
How should I put it? The amount of zhenqi he can mobilize is almost equivalent to the amount of a monk in the late stage of opening the pulse. In other words, he can roughly exert the attack power of a monk in the late stage of opening the pulse. If coupled with his strong defense, The overall strength even exceeds that of Qi Refining monks.
Of course, this strength cannot be compared with the golden elixir realm he once had, and it is not even as good as it was before. However, he can be considered to have a certain ability to protect himself now, unlike before, he was helpless when encountering problems. , can only be beaten passively.
Half a month later, news came from Ma Xingchen, saying that the preliminaries for the Holy Son were about to begin, and everyone was asked to prepare and set out with him the next day to the location of the Holy Son preliminaries in Tongcoff County.
Early the next morning, only two guards were left to guard the inn. Ma Xingchen led the rest of the people out of the door. The pre-selected location was not in the county town. After leaving the city, the group turned in one direction and headed all the way. After a long time, we finally arrived outside a deep valley.
The deep valley in front is the location of this competition. This deep valley was originally nameless and was the burial place for ordinary people and low-level monks in Tongcoff County. It is unknown how many bones have been buried for countless years. Who knows that the valley suddenly appeared later? Some low-level zombies accidentally injured many people.
Later, after an expert's investigation, we found out that there was actually a very deep Yin vein hidden in the valley. This problem would only occur after a long time. However, the level of this Yin vein was not high and could only form some low-level zombies, which would be harmful to copper. The threat in Coffin County is not very great. Later, the monks in Tongcoff County sealed the valley to prevent zombies from coming out and causing trouble. It was occasionally used as a training place for monks.
This valley has rarely been opened in recent decades. This time it was because the Holy Son preliminaries were too important and they could not find a suitable venue for the competition, so the big bosses of Tongcoff County discussed with the supervisors sent by Dry Tomb City. After that, it was decided to use this place as the pre-selection place for the Holy Son.
At this time, thousands of people have gathered outside the deep valley. There are about a hundred people in the entire Tongcoff County who are qualified or have the conditions to participate in the Holy Son preliminaries. If their guards are added, there are still three to four thousand people. Apart from those attending the game, there were very few spectators. Only a dozen or so people with certain status and connections in Tongcoff County were allowed to come over to supervise the game. balance
On a small hill in the middle, there are nearly twenty foundation-building monks standing. One of them is building a seventh-floor foundation. He looks somewhat similar to Shangguan Yan. This is Shangguan Tong, the county lord of Tongcoff County, and the strongest person in Tongcoff County. The tallest man. Standing side by side with him was a fourth-level monk with a serious look on his face. This monk was sent by Dry Tomb City to supervise the pre-selection of the Holy Son. He was called Qingteng Sanren. The remaining dozen or so people, ranging from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, are all people with certain status in Tongcoff County.
Qingyang and Ma Xingchen were almost the last to arrive. Not long after everyone stood still, they heard Shangguan Tong on the hill make a clear whistle, and the place suddenly became quiet. Then Shangguan Tong turned to face the Ivy Scatterer. Humanity said: "Fellow Daoist Qingteng, it's almost time, shall we start?"
Qingteng Sanren smiled faintly and shook his head, saying: "I am only responsible for watching, no matter the specific matters, everything will be according to the wishes of Shangguan County Lord."
Shangguan fellow cultivators are much higher than Qingteng Sanren. The reason why I ask this is to show respect for the people above me. After all, they represent Kuzhong City. Seeing that Qingteng Sanren was not going to intervene, Shangguan Tong immediately said loudly: "Everyone must be aware of the preliminaries of the Holy Son, so I won't go into details. I will just reiterate the rules of the competition here."
"The location of the competition is the valley in front. The task of the contestants is to kill the zombies inside, and the winner will be determined by the number. In order to ensure the safety and convenience of the contestants, each person can bring four guards to help complete the task, but the cultivation level It is limited to the Kaimai Realm, and the competition time is three days.”
"As for the calculation of the results, I will issue a Yin Diagnosis Talisman to each candidate. Every time an iron-armored zombie is killed, a black dot will be displayed on it. When a bronze-armored zombie is killed, a green dot will be displayed. In the end, the score will be calculated based on the number of points. However, everyone should also note that only the zombies killed by the captain holding the Yin Diagnosis Talisman will be counted. Killings by team members will be invalid. Team members can help. Don't go too far. When the time comes, Don’t blame me if your results don’t show up.”
Shangguan Tong didn't say it clearly, but everyone heard it. It's not that the team members can't help, but there must be a limit to the help. You can trap or severely damage the zombies, but the person who delivers the final blow must be the captain with the Yin Diagnosing Talisman for it to be counted. score. The candidates are all Qi Refining monks, and the team members are all Pulse Opening realm monks. The strength of the two sides is much different, and it is impossible to be of great help. At most, they can only provide some assistance, which limits opportunism to the greatest extent. possible.
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Tong paused for a while, and after everyone had digested the information, he said: "It's getting late, give everyone a little more time, and quickly select the team members who will follow him into the valley. After a stick of incense, the valley entrance Open it, the game officially begins.”
After Shangguan Tong made the announcement, he ordered someone to light a stick of incense and hold it. Then he led a dozen other foundation-building monks to the mouth of the valley, waiting for the incense to burn out so that he could open the entrance.
Ma Xingchen has already inquired about the rules of the competition, but has been hesitant about who to choose to participate. The captain of the escort team will definitely not be able to go. His cultivation level exceeds the Pulse Opening Realm, and it will not work if all the old team members are selected. Mingming is worried about the new team members and is easily distracted. When choosing new team members, he doesn't know who among the dozen or so people is most suitable to follow him into the valley to experience.
