Chapter 7 Deserted City Competition
So in this way, Fang Yuan began his journey of cultivating immortals in the Kyushu Continent.
The architectural design of Qu Tian Pavilion is more interesting, the attic is separated by a staircase in the middle, the front is the business counter, the first and second floors behind are the places for spiritual use, the third to fifth floors are the rooms and guest rooms, and the sixth and seventh floors are warehouses. The customer takes the stairs at the main entrance.
Due to the large area itself, even if one serving is two, it is not narrow. And Fang Yuan also moved from the guest room on the fourth floor to the third floor to live with the other minor friars. This was proposed by Fang Yuan, firstly, he was not embarrassed, secondly, he was alone in a foreign land, his relatives and friends did not know life and death, and his loneliness at night was too strong.
The cultivation room on the first and second floors is mainly used by the monks who refine qi and build the foundation, and the Qu Tian Pavilion has a special teacher to guide them, so the children of the people in the Qu Tian Pavilion are all practicing here, and Fang Yuan also participates.
There is a more embarrassing thing here, I am too old to start my cultivation. Most of the children in the Kyushu mainland lay the foundation and prepare before the age of seven. He began to cultivate after the age of seven, and it was not difficult to reach the seventh or eighth level of qi refining before the age of ten. Fang Yuan, a twenty-five-year-old man, was unusually conspicuous in the middle.
In this way, Fang Yuan began his life, practicing every day, reading books, and going shopping in a deserted city.
Time flies, and a year has passed since Fang Yuan survived on the Kyushu mainland. Fang Yuan has been living in a deserted city for a year, but there is still no news of his relatives and friends, but he is also integrated into the life of the Kyushu continent.
In fact, Fang Yuan has always been more puzzled and concerned about many matters in the Kyushu Continent. Language, habits, and even some spiritual terms, I have heard them when I was on earth.
Especially after reading the Kyushu record, it records that the Kyushu of the Kyushu continent is exactly the same name as the ancient Kyushu of his hometown, and the terrain is not much different, but this side of Kyushu is much bigger, and the ancient Kyushu of his hometown is like a miniature version.
The more these things are known about the Kyushu Continent, the more they appear. Fang Yuan once wondered if he was living in a novel, or a parallel time and space, or a dream in a coma. However, a year has passed, and he has not thought too much about it, life must go on, and living in the moment is the most important thing.
In terms of cultivation, Fang Yuan has always been practicing the Nameless Mind Method, and some auxiliary methods are also the one that is steadily learning, and there is no hurry at all. But the problem I was worried about before did not appear, the cultivation foundation is very solid, the spiritual power cultivated is also tenacious and long, and the speed is also good, only one year has reached the ninth level of qi refining, and the foundation building is just around the corner. And Xiang Wuxian also suggested that Fang Yuan continue to cultivate this mental method.
In the western part of the Deserted City, the training ground of the city guards ushered in the gathering of the major forces of the Deserted City today. Many of the forces in the deserted city mostly came from Qingzhou in Kyushu, and Qu Tiange was one of them.
Today is the triennial desolate competition of the major forces, which is held by the Deserted City Lord's Mansion. The competition was divided into three groups, namely gas refining, foundation building, and spirit building. Most of the participants are people from major forces, and there are also some small families or scattered people, who may be able to be favored by major forces by this opportunity.
Fang Yuan was naturally among them, because of the problem of age, it was especially obvious in the Qi Refining Group, even if there were some cultivators in the Spirit Refining Group, they all looked younger than Fang Yuan.
This competition was Fang Yuan's initiative to participate, and Fang Yuan would not miss this kind of opportunity to exercise. However, the children who practiced with themselves felt that it was a shameful thing and did not recommend participating in it.
Now the entire training ground is full of people, and the major forces are sitting together with each other, and those who are familiar with each other are talking happily. More than a dozen rings were set up in the field. In the middle, about 100 meters long and wide, there was a man walking up. This person is dressed in a black robe with gold trim, and he is stable and noble. With long black hair coiled, sharp and calm eyes, a Chinese face, and a slight beard, he looks like he is about forty years old, but people who cultivate immortals cannot determine their age by their faces. This person is Murong Ran, the lord of the deserted city.
The Fourteen Desolate Cities here are the product of the compromise of many forces in the Kyushu Continent, and these city lords are naturally elected by the major forces in the city.
This Murong Ran is naturally no exception, the biggest purpose of the deserted city competition he holds every three years is to bring the major forces in the city together so that they can make friendships, and they can also roughly understand the relationship between the various factions on the competition field. On the contrary, he didn't care if he won or lost.
"Haha, it seems that the big guy is enthusiastic. Murong Ran came to the stage, his voice was like a flood, no matter how far or near, the laughter reached everyone's ears first.
Seeing that the scene was also slowly quieting down, Murong Ran continued to speak: "The triennial famine year is being held again today, and it is also my honor to invite many Taoist friends. Here, I would like to thank all of you here. ”
After Murong Ran finished speaking, he arched his hand to the surroundings and lowered his posture, and the major forces also dealt with it, and the scene became warm again for a while.
When the scene was quieter again, Murong Ran said a few more greetings, and then invited an old man to come up and announce the rules. The old man was not verbose, and directly announced the schedule, rules and competition rewards.
The competition is divided into two parts, one is the two people to compete, the knockout round, and finally the winner of each group. The second is to form a multi-person team, consisting of four to six people per team, and the single game will be held in the ground refining tower in the escort camp after two days of rest.
And so the contest began.
One of the many rings, Fang Yuan calmly came to the stage, but there was a discussion around the battle. And on the opposite side of the stage was a young man named Chang Yuhao, a disciple of the Tianhe Sect in the Deserted City.
This Tianhe faction sect is the same as the Qu family of Qu Tiange, and it is also from Qingzhou. Although there are no major contradictions between the two families in Qingzhou, there are often small frictions. So in this deserted city, they don't look at each other very much.
This Chang Yuhao is ten years old this year, and he is at the ninth level of Qi refining. Originally, I heard that my opponent was Qu Tiange, and I planned to give some color to take a look. Na knew that there was a young man on the other side, but he was stunned for a while.
The discussion in the audience was still there, and the referee in charge of the ring listened to it and said loudly: "This Fang Yuan brother Tai's cultivation is the ninth layer of qi refining, and it meets the regulations. ”
Although the referee confirmed it, the discussion was not small, but he went in other directions, even at this age, he was still a Qi refining cultivator.
Chang Yuhao's eyes over there were also full of disdain, and he opened his mouth to mock: "Brother Fang is really a genius, I hope my subordinates will be merciful when we compete." ”
Fang Yuan listened, and he didn't bother to argue with a little kid. He replied lightly: "As much as possible." On the contrary, Chang Yuhao tried his best to hear this, and his face was unhappy.
Seeing that the discussion was still there, the referee did not pay attention to it, and announced the judgment of winning or losing the competition: "Those who land in the ring lose, those who admit defeat lose, and the two parties shall not hurt their lives, in this case, the referee can intervene to determine the winner or loser." Do you hear you clearly?"
Fang Yuan and Chang Yuhao nodded, the referee looked at it, and said: "The competition begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Chang Yuhao didn't say a word, touched the storage bag with both hands, and two flying swords flashed, directly controlling the two flying swords to attack quickly.
Fang Yuan looked at it and responded, his right hand was surrounded by pale yellow spiritual power, and he slapped forward, a pale yellow light curtain blocked in front of him, and at the same time, with a wave of left light, a pale yellow light enveloped it, and he couldn't see the figure clearly.
The two flying swords struck the light curtain and were bounced back, but the light curtain also cracked. Chang Yuhao looked at it and controlled the flying sword again.
But at this moment, a shadow quickly shot out in the pale yellow light that enveloped Fang Yuan, directly entangled the two flying swords, and they couldn't move for the time being.
Seeing that the flying sword was entangled, the pale yellow light that shrouded Fang Yuan also began to move forward quickly, pressing towards Chang Yuhao.
Chang Yuhao saw that the flying sword was entangled, and his anger rose slightly. Goodbye to the oncoming light, he directly swung out a fireball talisman, and several skull-sized fireballs flashed directly and smashed into the light.
With a few booms, the fireball burst out, and the sparks directly enveloped the bright light, afraid that it would be cleared up. The corners of Chang Yuhao's mouth curled, and he was about to mock a few more words, but he found that there was no movement or screams in the firelight, and he secretly screamed in his heart.
Sure enough, a pitch-black long sword flew out of the firelight, directly taking Chang Yuhao. And Chang Yuhao's movements were not slow, he turned sideways and flashed the pitch-black long sword.
But at this time, a figure was already approaching, not who else could Fang Yuan be. Fang Yuan was not ambiguous, with his spiritual power, he directly swung out a punch and knocked Chang Yuhao away.
Chang Yuhao didn't expect Fang Yuan to come so quickly, following the long sword. After being knocked away, he touched the storage bag and wanted to fight back, but Fang Yuan's attack over there had already hit him.
After Chang Yuhao was knocked away, Fang Yuan also jumped up, kicked Chang Yuhao a few more times in mid-air, and then landed.
After Chang Yuhao was kicked, his anger exploded. The hand went into the storage bag again. But suddenly he found that he was out of the range of the ring, fell to the ground, and lost, so he hurriedly took out the air explosion charm.
Monks can fly with weapons, and monks can fly directly into the air. Qi refining cultivators themselves don't have these skills, so they can only rely on external objects, and this Qi Explosion Talisman is one of them.
I saw Chang Yuhao holding the qi explosion talisman in both hands, as soon as the spiritual power was poured in, the spell on the talisman took effect, and a breath exploded directly, and the impact directly pushed Chang Yuhao back in the direction of the ring.
However, Fang Yuan was already holding the Qi Explosion Talisman and waiting for him.
Boom! Another breath exploded, and the impact directly hit Chang Yuhao.
Coupled with the Qi Explosion Talisman released by Chang Yuhao himself, he was directly sandwiched between the two impact forces, and was blown to the ground. couldn't resist it, and after a few laps in mid-air, he fell directly to the ground and got out of the ring.
The referee announced that Fang Yuan had won, and Chang Yuhao over there also got up, his nose and face were swollen, he stared at Fang Yuan viciously, and left a sentence for me to get when I formed a team, and collected my magic weapon, and turned to leave.
The referee looked at Fang Yuan, but he appreciated it a little more, the key to this competition was to press the yellow light that shrouded him towards Chang Yuhao.
In fact, when the yellow light pressed over, Fang Yuan stood still in the distance, because he was in a straight line with Chang Yuhao, so Chang Yuhao was directly paralyzed by the yellow light that pressed over, and he couldn't see Fang Yuan's position behind him clearly, in fact, there was nothing in it, as long as Chang Yuhao moved a little, he could see through it. As a result, he failed to see through it, and Fang Yuan used his speed to grab the offensive and was directly knocked out of the ring.
In fact, this referee didn't know, Fang Yuan saw Chang Yuhao's appearance before he started, and knew that he was an anxious and arrogant child, so he was expected to attack in a hurry, and he would not be changeable, and sure enough, he hurriedly attacked at the beginning, and set up such a small routine according to the situation, so he thought that Chang Yuhao fell directly into it.
