After hearing that Jing Yingrong had raised pearls, people who were close to her came to visit one after another. After learning that she only raised four mother oysters, they all expressed their speechlessness.
Shu Pinghui came to see Jing Yingrong that day, saying that he wanted to take her to participate in a competition held by the sect.
"It's that climbing event, you've heard of it, right? It's held every once in a while. You were working in the store before, so I didn't come to see you. Now you're always free, right?"
Jing Yingrong did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to the bay.
Seeing this, Shu Pinghui said helplessly: "It's just four shells. It won't be a problem if you leave for a while."
Jing Yingrong said: "The temperature adjustment formation has not been arranged yet."
"Junior Brother Zhao said hurry up. He said he wanted to do his best to give you the best one. Oh, didn't they grow well when you didn't take care of them before? Let's go!"
Shu Pinghui took Jing Yingrong away.
Stair climbing is a competitive activity held regularly in the outer gate. The so-called climbing a building means climbing a "Qiong Tower". In addition, there is a similar activity in the inner gate called "Yuyu".
Qiong Tower is extremely tall and huge. It is a landmark building in Qiongju enclave. The building is divided into ten floors, and each floor has different mechanisms and rules. The first person to climb to the top and win the central jade is the winner of the event.
At this time, the area around Qiong Tower was already crowded with people. The ground floor of the building was surrounded by curtains that looked like water curtains, and people continued to penetrate the curtains and enter the building.
The cultivation requirement for participating in the climbing activity is foundation building and above, so the outer disciples who do not meet the requirements stay outside and wait to watch the battle. However, instead of directly watching the battle situation in the building, we can see who has reached a certain floor through the spiritual pattern display that appears and disappears outside each floor.
Ji Yanzhu: "Isn't this just the tower climbing competition back then? It's just that the tower was changed into a building."
Ji Jie Bi: "That tower can no longer carry so many disciples now. Thinking about it, the difficulty has also increased."
Ji Sha Jian asked: "What are those two groups of people doing?"
It was asking about the two imposing groups of female nuns in front of them. One group was waving many black flags, and the other group was wearing bright red clothes. The two sides are clearly divided and unwilling to give in to each other, and there is a vague hostility to each other.
If you look closely, you can see that there are some male cultivators mixed in among the female cultivators.
Jing Yingrong repeated the question about Ji Sha Jian to Shu Pinghui.
Shu Pinghui clicked her tongue and said, "Those are the supporters of Yin Xueze and Wu Yaochen. Don't you know that since we came to Qiongju Enclave this time, he has always been the first place in the climbing competition held so far? One of the two. Later, for some reason, they had such a group of supporters. Every time they went up to the building to compete, people on both sides would gather together to build momentum, and no one would give in to the other."
Shu Pinghui suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I think the relationship between the two of them is not as bad as the relationship between these two groups of people. I really don't understand."
Jing Yingrong nodded and asked, "Who wins more times."
Shu Pinghui thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be Wu Yaochen. Yin Xueze has participated in few events. He doesn't seem to like such crowded activities."
While they were talking, they had already passed between the two groups of people, and then met another group of people.
This group of people was mainly male cultivators, and everyone looked enthusiastic.
Jing Yingrong: “Whose supporters are they?”
Shu Pinghui pouted: "Lan Chucui's."
After passing by this group of people, Shu Pinghui suddenly stopped and changed direction abruptly.
Jing Yingrong looked in the original direction, and then said: "Are the people over there your supporters?"
Shu Pinghui said awkwardly: "Yes..."
Jing Yingrong: "Why do you want to avoid them?"
Shu Pinghui pouted: "It's so embarrassing."
Jing Yingrong: "Oh."
Finally came to the curtain on the ground floor.
After passing through the curtain, the scene in front of me changed, and I saw a huge space filled with people. There is a spiral staircase in each of the four corners. The stairs are wide and lead directly to the upper floor. At this moment, all four stairs are sealed by the magic circle.
In the center of the field, there is a giant cauldron, with a thick incense stick burning in the cauldron that can be embraced by one person.
The incense stick has been burned to only a small section. When the incense burns out, the event officially begins.
Shu Pinghui took the time to tell Jing Yingrong the rules of each floor. She was just halfway through when a voice suddenly came from beside her and said, "Junior Sister Jing, you finally do something serious."
Shu Pinghui immediately frowned, turned around and sneered: "Lan Chucui, I don't understand what you are saying. What is serious and what is not serious? Can you tell me?"
Lan Chucui glanced at Shu Pinghui, landed on Jing Yingrong's face, and said: "Things that are useless for cultivation and waste your talent are not serious."
Jing Yingrong said: "It's not serious, isn't it bad?"
When she asked, not only Lan Chucui but also Shu Pinghui was stunned.
Lan Chucui came back to her senses and said, "Do you think it's good?"
Jing Yingrong: "I didn't do anything to harm anyone for no reason, why is it bad?"
Lan Chucui choked.
Shu Pinghui chuckled and said: "That's right, it's not harmful to anyone. So what if it's not serious? It's your turn to teach me?"
Lan Chucui took a deep breath, stared at Jing Yingrong, and said, "I just feel sorry. If Junior Sister Jing is so graceful, if she cannot cultivate profound Taoism, her life span will be exhausted and she will die early. It will be so regrettable."
Shu Pinghui put her hands on her waist and was about to curse, when she heard Jing Yingrong say calmly: "No."
"Oh? Junior sister Jing is so confident?"
Lan Chucui's lips curled up into a charming smile, "Then why don't we compete to see who reaches the first floor first."
"Do you still want shame? How long have you been at Jindan, and how long has it been since Rongrong was at Jindan?" Shu Pinghui raised an eyebrow.
Lan Chucui: "I can give Junior Sister Jing three hours."
Jing Yingrong shook her head: "No comparison."
Lan Chucui's eyes darkened: "Why?"
Jing Yingrong: "If you try your best, it would be unfair to you; if you don't try your best, the comparison test would be unfair."
She spoke plainly and candidly, as if she were talking about the weather, without any emotion.
Lan Chucui's expression changed instantly.
She stared closely at the reflection in the mirror, her eyes filled with emotion.
At this moment, the incense stick burned to the end.
The magic circle that sealed the four stairs was closed at the same time. In an instant, people rushed to the four stairs like a tide.
In this first level, you must reach the upper floor through the stairs. The four staircases seem wide, but they cannot allow everyone to pass through them at the same time. They must be arranged in order. Therefore, disciples often fight to get through the stairs first.
Fortunately, once the people in the building are seriously injured and life-threatening, they will be prohibited from being sent outside. If you want to give up, you can also leave Qionglou by consuming the contribution points in the token.
