After Ye Bai left the cave, he found a place to take stock of what he had gained during this period.
Apart from a few beast-skin demon cores, the biggest gain was the Najie from Lien Chan and Mr. Lu. As for the previous ones, they were too poor and had few resources.
In Lien Chan's Najie, in addition to a dozen high-grade spiritual stones, the most valuable one is a piece of third-level spiritual material Sunfire Fine Gold, which is comparable to the essence of sunflower water.
As for Mr. Lu's Najie, the total value of the spiritual stones is about fifty high-grade spiritual stones, and the rest is a book of middle-grade Xuan-level wood attribute techniques and supporting spells.
These are not bad. What makes Ye Bai happy is that he found a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon armor. This thing can't hold even three hundred high-grade spiritual stones. Ye Bai has not put on this top-grade armor. With his current stage of Qi training, If you activate it once at most, your spiritual power will be exhausted, and you can only use it after building the foundation.
There are also some century-old elixirs. As for the crutch he used before, it seems to be missing. It may have been taken away by Shi Ruoran.
Thinking of Shi Ruoran, Ye Bai's eyes were firm. No matter what, he must definitely go to Black and White Academy, at least ask questions in person.
At present, there is no shortage of skills, magic weapons, spells and martial arts. After excluding the spiritual stones used before, plus the two million low-grade spiritual stones given by Uncle Feng, and the harvest during this period, there are still 580 high-grade spiritual stones. Stones seemed to be quite a lot, but Ye Bai knew that the total number of these spiritual stones to open the Donghuang Space would only last seven months, less than a year.
As the realm improves, the speed of breakthrough will be much slower. Even if there is Donghuang Space to adjust time, it will be extremely difficult to break through.
"It's still too poor."
Ye Bai shook his head helplessly and continued to train according to the original plan. He originally planned to go to Yang Yun, but he didn't expect this guy to come to his door.
"Old Bai, I miss you so much. You don't know how I spent this time." Yang Yun told the story of this period with tears and runny nose.
"After I separated from you, I heard the sound of fighting coming from your side. I was worried and came back to find you. I didn't expect that you were already gone. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed the big brother of those guys coming, so I hurriedly gathered my breath and hid. After I got up, I kept hiding and didn't dare to make any noise until a few days ago."
After listening to Yang Yun's story, Ye Bai immediately asked: "How did you know I was here?"
"Hehehe, fortunately, my brother is smart. The talismans he gave you all have imprints, so he naturally knows your location." Yang Yun said proudly.
Ye Bai looked at this guy speechlessly, he was really a talent.
………
A month later, inside the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Fang City.
A young man with a vicissitudes of life and a man with squinting eyes walked in.
Without saying a word, Ye Bai threw out a pile of monster skins and some monster cores on the counter.
Seeing him like this, the store manager didn't dare to neglect him. He invited the two of them to drink tea and calculated the amount himself.
"Boss, I just calculated that there are twenty mid-level first-level monster skins, thirty late-level first-level monster skins, and two early-level second-level monster skins. The total price is 67,600 low-grade spiritual stones. Do you think it’s okay to gather a total of 68,000 spirit stones for you?”
"No problem, I'll see you next time."
After Ye Bai happily received the spirit stones, he planned to go to Wan Lian Fang first. During this period, he relied purely on physical combat without using a single pill to recover himself and push himself to the limit.
In this way, you can train your martial arts will to make it indomitable and indestructible. It has also stabilized the tenth level of Qi training, and at the same time, it has created something new.
"Xiaobai, you're back. What's wrong with you looking so embarrassed?"
Siya looked at Ye Bai in surprise, who had been tortured to the point of becoming emaciated. There was a stranger beside him who seemed to be his friend.
Ye Bai nodded, his body was extremely tired, but his eyes were bright.
This time, in order to thoroughly train my martial arts path, I really suffered a lot.
"Xiaoya, are master and the others back?" Ye Bai asked instead without answering.
"That's not true yet, but a few days ago Senior Brother Wan Ming sent news that Mo Xun's traces had been found."
Ye Bai's eyes became sharp. After thinking for a moment, he guessed that the master should have gone with the teacher to track down Mo Xun. He could only hope that everything goes well for them.
"I haven't introduced you yet. This is Yang Yun from Shangqing Palace. I came to visit the sect and met him in Tiandu Mountain. He is a rather clingy guy."
Ye Bai introduced Yang Yun to her while applying the snow spirit ointment handed over by Xiya.
"Hello, my name is Siya."
"Don't listen to Ye Bai's perverted nonsense. I wish I could stay away from this guy and spend all day in the mountains with him in fear."
Yang Yun thought about what happened during this period with lingering fear.
"Where is Lin Ming?"
Ye Bai's mental state improved a little, and then he thought of his brother.
"He is still resting up there. It seems that when he comes back this time, his mental state is not much better than yours. He must have suffered a lot." Siya said with a smile.
"Let's go eat together later. I've been hungry for a long time, and the competition will start tomorrow. I need to take a good rest after this meal." Ye Bai suggested.
"Okay, I haven't had a good meal in a long time." Siya agreed happily.
"Can I ask my cousin to go with me?" Yang Yun wanted to ask Gong Jin to go with him.
"No problem. We'll meet at the Imperial Food Road in an hour."
After Ye Bai decided on the time and place, Yang Yun said goodbye and left.
…………
Huangliang Road Single Room
Ye Bai was sitting in the room with Xiya, Lin Ming, Gong Jin and her cousin Yang Yun.
"I didn't expect you to encounter this living treasure."
Gong Jin quietly started stabbing Yang Yun in the back towards Ye Bai.
"I said I'm still here. No matter what, I'm still your cousin. Can you give me some face?"
Yang Yun glanced at Gong Jin helplessly, but he couldn't open his eyes.
"I said you are chatting and laughing here. You don't care about tomorrow's year-end competition at all. Are you not stressed at all?" Siya smiled at the side.
"They may not be under much pressure, but I am really under pressure."
Lin Ming pointed at Ye Bai and Gong Jin while eating.
"I'm really under a lot of pressure. Once I lose, I will really be criticized by others for walking as a True Legend of Bixiaofeng. It doesn't matter if I am thick-skinned, but I can't let my master's face be shameless."
"How can Ye Xingxing, who is above us, be under pressure? You have arranged enough pressure for us true disciples."
Before Ye Bai could say anything else, Gong Jin continued, "In order to fight against you, Dongxuan has been in seclusion until now. I heard that the innate sword body Bai Zhao will go to Qingyun after you fight Duan Wei." Fenghoushan wields his sword a hundred thousand times..."
"You, a person who is eating spiritual food and drinking spiritual wine here, actually tell us that you are stressed?"
"What about you? Are you stressed?"
Ye Bai looked directly into Gong Jin's eyes and asked her.
"What do you think? Although you are very oppressive, you have to be careful. Foundation building may also capsize. And this time, there are participants not only in the Qi refining period, but also in the foundation building period." Gong Jin reminded.
"Can you even participate in the foundation-building period?" Lin Ming asked in surprise.
"The rewards this year are extremely rich. As a result, there are three people who are apprentices in the arts this year. The reason why we accept them is because they are from the three major families."
After everyone listened to Gong Jin's explanation, Ye Bai remembered that when he first came here, the waiter told him about the three major immortal cultivating families in the sect. He had never interacted with them much before, but he didn't expect that he would be able to meet them in this competition. Touched.
"The Zhou family in Baili Peak, the Sun family in Liuyan Lake, and the Bai family in Dongting Lake." Ye Bai murmured to himself.
"I didn't expect that you who have been in seclusion all day know about them. We have had some dealings with them before, and their strength should not be underestimated." Gong Jin said solemnly.
"That's quite interesting." Ye Bai chuckled.
"It's not interesting at all. I originally planned to get into the top twenty this time, but it seems that this year's class is full of monsters. It's difficult!" Lin Ming sighed.
"I see that your strength has improved a lot this time you go back. Are you so unsure?"
Ye Bai felt that Lin Ming's strength should be improved a lot. It seemed that his father, the city lord, should have made arrangements for him.
"When I go back this time, I have almost wiped out my father's fortune. I would be so sorry to him if I don't improve."
Ye Bai's words reminded Lin Ming of the scene when his father Lin Zhan took him to beg the old man. He was humiliated and shuddered at the same time, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"You haven't seen Brother Ye's bravery in the Tiandu Mountains. He is really abnormal. With his strength, only Ying Wushuang from our Shangqing Palace can try his hand at it." Yang Yun recalled spending time with Ye Bai during this period. days.
"I didn't expect my cousin to speak so highly of you. It's a bit beyond my expectation."
Gong Jin glanced at Ye Bai in surprise, and Xiya on the side asked: "Is Ying Wushuang very powerful?"
"This man can no longer be described as powerful. He was surrounded by pure spiritual energy when he was born, and his innate energy has not been lost. He was personally selected by the Taishang Patriarch of the Shangqing Palace, and was later tested to have an innate full spiritual root with a different type of lightning attribute. , and also learned the Shangqing Nine Heavens Thunder Book. At the age of twelve, he practiced the ninth level of qi. In the same year, he went out to travel and easily killed powerful enemies who were building the foundation. This year, he just succeeded in building the foundation."
After listening to Yang Yun's story, everyone was speechless.
"This son is simply born to be a monk. As long as he doesn't die in the process, he will definitely bring the Shangqing Palace to new glory."
Gong Jin rarely praised him, and then changed his tone, "You compare yourself to such a monster. It seems that this time the Tiandu Mountains have allowed you to see something unbelievable."
"I think Brother Yang thinks highly of me. I can't compare to Ying Wushuang."
Before Yang Yun could answer, Ye Bai answered in advance, and Xia next to him smiled, "I think Xiaobai is no worse than him, and may even be better."
"I think Brother Ye has this potential, but it doesn't mean he can fight against Ying Wushuang now."
Yang Yun looked at Ye Bai who was smiling at him, and immediately changed his mind and explained to a few people.
Yang Yun knew that when Ye Bai smiled like this, he must be thinking of something bad.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Do any of you know the rules of this competition?" Ye Bai changed the topic and asked a few people.
"I know this." Gong Jin also continued.
"The current rule is that all disciples who start this year must participate in this competition."
"A total of more than 1,200 disciples went through the audition first, and they had to endure the spiritual pressure of a peak master for an hour to pass."
"There will then be ten small arenas. This group of people will be divided into ten groups to enter the arena. Only four people can stand at the end of each arena, and the rest will be eliminated."
"The last forty people are left to draw lots and fight one-on-one for the final showdown."
"I heard that the champion will get to enter the Cave Heaven Paradise for a month, and can also enter the fifth floor of Chuan Gong Pavilion to choose a Taoist method or martial skill, and even get 3,000 contribution points."
After talking about these rewards, Gong Jin swallowed unconsciously. Any reward from the champion was extremely tempting and was not something they could get at the moment.
"I want to be number one this time. I have other things to do and I have to go back and prepare. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to win against you this time."
Ye Bai drank the last glass of wine and planned to leave. He wanted to prepare well for this competition.
"I appreciate your confidence," Gong Jin drank tea calmly.
"Then we'll see."
Ye Bai didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to them, he left with Xia and Lin Ming.
"Wow! It's very exciting. I like it. I'm looking forward to the fight between the two of you." Yang Yun watched the excitement without taking it too seriously.
