Chapter 673: Red Lacquer Giant Drum

As he moved forward, Qiao Yun found that there were many Qi cultivation period monks in the flow of people, and they should have come to observe the selection competition, but these Qi cultivation period monks did not move to the mountain, but only gathered at the foot of the mountain, which made Qiao Yun somewhat puzzled in his heart.

Soon, Qiao Yun and the three of them stepped on the stone steps, but they didn't have to go up for long before they encountered a checkpoint, where more than a dozen deacon disciples in blue robes were waiting for them, and behind them there was a huge stone platform on the left and right, and a huge transparent bead was placed on the stone platform.

Seeing Qiao Yun's doubts, Shen Xinhan explained: "This is the first test of the selection competition, only the monks who meet the standards are qualified to go up the mountain to continue the follow-up competition, with Brother Qiao's cultivation of the sixth layer of the foundation now, it is definitely easy to reach the standard." ”

Qiao Yun listened to Shen Xinhan's explanation, and saw two monks conducting the test, so he naturally understood. As for Shen Xinhan, Qiao Yun was not surprised to see his cultivation, Qiao Yun also saw Shen Xinhan and Mu Jingrong's cultivation when they first met, both of them had already reached the sixth-level Great Perfection of Foundation Building, and they were only one line away from being able to advance to the late stage of Foundation Building.

Qiao Yun originally thought that his cultivation speed was already considered fast, but after seeing Shen Xinhan and Mu Jingrong, Qiao Yun dispelled this thought, knowing that even if his cultivation speed was fast, it was very limited.

However, what Qiao Yun didn't know was that after Mu Jingrong saw Qiao Yun, he was shocked by how quickly Qiao Yun's cultivation was promoted, but he tried his best not to show it. Because Mu Jingrong, as an inner disciple, has a large number of cultivation resources to use, and he practiced in retreat after returning from Chengning Island, it only took a year and a half to advance to the sixth layer of foundation building, but Qiao Yun, an outer disciple, actually used the same time to cultivate to the sixth layer of foundation building, how could this make Mu Jingrong not be shocked. But Shen Xinhan was not surprised by this, because she had actually been surprised half a year ago.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers came from behind him, and Qiao Yun and the others looked back one after another, only to see two Jindan elders standing in the air at the foot of the mountain, standing in the void, and had just closed the formation. Soon, with the operation of the formation, two huge display formations appeared in the east and west directions at the foot of Xiping Peak, and everything on the top of Xiping Peak could be clearly seen through the formation.

Qiao Yun suddenly realized that these Qi cultivation period cultivators could watch the selection competition of the peak in real time by displaying the formation.

Retracting his gaze, Qiao Yun didn't wait long, it was his turn to test, so he walked past a dozen deacon disciples, came to the huge stone platform on the left, and put his hand on the transparent bead.

"Work your way to the mantra with all your might. Elder Tsing Yi, who was standing next to the stone platform, said to Qiao Yun.

When Qiao Yun heard this, he immediately started to use the Wind Control Formula, because he saw the tests of many monks before, Qiao Yun knew that if he failed the test, he would be directly disqualified from going up the mountain, so he didn't dare to slack off, and he used the mental method mantra to the extreme.

With the operation of Qiao Yun's mental formula, a blue light suddenly flashed on the transparent bead, and then three bright cyan lines appeared inside.

"Yes, with the combat power of the late stage of foundation building, you can go up the mountain. Elder Tsing Yi glanced at Qiao Yun approvingly, and then motioned for the next foundation building disciple to step forward.

Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had passed the test, what Qiao Yun was most afraid of was that this was a test of qualifications, and he was afraid that he would not even have the qualifications to go up the mountain.

walked up a few steps, and then Qiao Yun stood on the side of the road and waited patiently for Shen Xinhan and Mu Jingrong, and by watching the test of the monks behind, Qiao Yun also roughly understood that this stone platform should be a measure of combat power, three cyan lines represent the late stage of foundation building, two represent the middle stage of foundation building, and one represents the early stage of foundation building, and only monks whose combat power has reached the middle and late stage of foundation building are eligible to go up the mountain.

Soon, Shen Xinhan and Mu Jingrong also passed the test, and the cultivation of the sixth-layer Great Perfection of the two of them reached the late stage of foundation building.

"Let's go, Brother Qiao. Shen Xinhan stepped forward and said.

Qiao Yun nodded, but his eyes stayed on a monk who was being tested, this person Qiao Yun knew, it was actually Yi Mu who went to the Broken Mountain Range to kill the demon beast together. What shocked Qiao Yun was that he was actually a cultivator of the sixth layer of foundation building at this time, and Yi Mu was a monk of the first layer of foundation building like Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun secretly said in his heart, it seems that not only does he have a fate, but others also have their own creations, if you want to surpass others, you must work harder to cultivate.

Yi Mu also saw Qiao Yun at this time, but he was still expressionless, and at the request of the elder, he touched the transparent bead and began to operate the mental mantra.

Under Shen Xinhan's call again, Qiao Yun quickly turned around and followed the two, as for Yi Mu's test results, Qiao Yun could guess without looking at it, it must be the combat power in the later stage of foundation building.

After the first checkpoint, the crowd was far less crowded than before, and the people walking around Qiao Yun were already all foundation building monks, as for the Jindan monks, most of them were already at the level of sect elders, or they were not interested in this kind of foundation building monk competition, or they had already been arranged to sit on the mountain peak.

Along the way up the mountain did not encounter obstacles, after the cyan hall that had handled the identity jade card halfway up the mountainside, and walked a stick of incense for a while, and then came to the peak of Xiping Peak.

When Qiao Yun looked at it from a distance, he felt that the three peaks were huge, but when he reached the peak, he found that it was much bigger than he imagined.

On the east side of the mountain peak, there are two large pillars that reach the sky, and in the middle of the pillars is fixed a large red lacquer drum, the drum skin is slightly yellowed, revealing a long-term atmosphere.

Directly opposite the drum is a circular ring made of jade, which is extremely large and can accommodate hundreds of people standing at the same time. After the ring, there is a semicircle to build a viewing platform, at this moment, there are more than 100 Jindan monks sitting on the viewing platform, these Jindan monks do not exude cultivation, just sit there, and give a kind of invisible coercion to the many foundation building monks under the Guanwu platform.

Qiao Yun looked at the nearly 10,000 foundation-building monks next to the ring, and then at the more than 100 Jindan monks on the Guanwu platform, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was difficult to form a pill, I was afraid that one of the hundred foundation-building period monks would be able to successfully form a pill.

Qiao Yun followed Shen Xinhan and Mu Jingrong to stand on the edge of the ring, and then looked at the Guanwu platform. The Guanwu platform is divided into three layers, the upper, middle and lower layers, the uppermost layer are the late Jindan monks, the number is the least, and the middle floor is the Jindan mid-stage monks, the number is slightly more, and the lower layer is the Jindan early monks, the largest number.

In the middle of the top floor sat an old man in Tsing Yi and a middle-aged man in purple, the two were talking about something, Qiao Yun Judging from the position where the two were sitting, the old man in Tsing Yi should be the sect master of the Qingyu Sect, as for the middle-aged man in purple, it seems that he is not a monk of the Qingyu Sect.

Qiao Yun's gaze then looked down, and soon saw his cheap master Sun Tiancheng on the middle floor, but Sun Tiancheng didn't notice Qiao Yun, his gaze always stayed on a young monk in front of the ring, until another Jindan monk not far from Sun Tiancheng smiled at Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun quickly recognized that this Jindan monk was the middle-aged scribe in the Scripture Pavilion at the beginning, but today he changed into a cyan robe, so Qiao Yun didn't recognize it for a while.

After smiling back at the middle-aged scribe, Qiao Yun immediately looked at the young monk who Sun Tiancheng was looking at, and found that this person had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was quite handsome, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the ninth layer of foundation building, and at this moment, there were many monks around him, talking and laughing.

Qiao Yun estimated that this person should be Sun Tiancheng's proud disciple, so Sun Tiancheng cared so much, so he secretly noted this person's appearance in his heart, and planned to try not to conflict with this person in the future, so as not to hurt each other.

After another stick of incense, all the monks of the foundation building period who participated in this competition had already come to Xiping Peak, at this time, a Jindan elder sitting on the right side of the top layer of the Guanwu Platform rose into the air and went straight to the red lacquer giant drum on the east side of Xiping Peak, and in his hand he held a pair of wooden drumsticks that exuded the vicissitudes of life.

When this Jindan elder came to the giant drum, he really showed the enormity of this drum. Seeing that Elder Jin Dan's long hair was windless, he puffed up the true qi of his whole body, swung the drumstick vigorously, and slammed it on the giant drum.

"Boom. ”

"Knock, knock. ”

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Elder Jin Dan beat the drum a total of six times, and each time it made a dull sound, swinging far away, as if beating in the depths of every monk's heart, so that the hearts of all the monks unconsciously beat with the beat of the drum, and the blood in their bodies also boiled, and an infinite battle intent actually rose.

There was silence on Xiping Peak, and there was silence under Xiping Peak, and the entire Qingyu Sect fell into silence, only the sound of drums still echoed far away.

When Elder Jin Dan finished beating the last three drums, the old man in Tsing Yi, who was sitting in the middle of the Guanwu Platform, slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the many foundation building period monks in the audience, and then said loudly: "Disciples of the Qingyu Sect, I am the ancestor of the Qingyu Sect, Tai Chu. Today, I am very pleased to see so many Foundation Building disciples participating in the selection competition of the Illusory Flame Realm, and I also see the future of my Qingyu Sect in you. In another hundred years, I believe that many of you will be able to sit on the Guanwu Platform and become the Jindan Elder of my Qingyu Sect, and also become the mainstay of the Sect......

Yi Taichu's words not only inspired many monks in the foundation building period, but also inspired the Qi cultivation period monks under Xiping Peak, because all the disciples wanted to one day become Jindan and become the elders of the sect.

"But before the selection competition, I have one more big thing to announce. Yi Taichu paused, and after the disciples in the audience quieted down, he continued: "I believe that many disciples have already heard that my Qingyu Sect will become the ninth six-star sect in Mozhou, and I know that this time the Qingyu Sect alone has a quota to enter the realm of phantom flames. And today, Shangzong sent an envoy to my Qingyu Sect in person, announcing that my Qingyu Sect has officially become a six-star sect, and I would like to invite Yan Daoyou below. ”
