The "Future Battle" is organized by the Six Paths Alliance for monks below the Jindan stage, which is divided into the "Talent Battle" in which the Qi Refining Stage monks participate, and the "Heavenly Fortune Battle" in which the Foundation Building Stage monks participate.

The competition stipulates that both casual cultivators and disciples of the sect family can participate.

Nowadays, though, there are very few casual practices in the true sense of the word.

Each state conducts its own audition, conducts a ring battle, and selects the top 100 monks in the "Talent Battle" and the top 30 in the "Heavenly Fortune Battle", a total of 130, and then enters the secret realm to compete and select the top 10.

These 10 monks will also be eligible to travel to the Middle State to compete against monks from other states.

A total of 2,740 monks participated in the audition in Xingzhou, of which nearly seventy percent were Qi refining period monks.

Ye Yousheng won fifteen games in a row, and as long as the number of wins reached fifty, he would be "promoted", and he could only compete with monks with a higher number of victories than himself.

Every fifty more wins after that adds to the tournament conditions.

Auditions usually last up to a month.

During this time, the participating monks were free to choose to live inside the Qianyuan Sect or outside the sect, while the monks who watched the competition needed to find their own accommodation.

Qin Zhen does not belong to the participating monks, but no matter how down-and-out the Tianyi Sect is, she is still the head of the sect, so she still has a place to live in the Qianyuan Sect.

There are still a dozen or so games left until the end of today's game.

Qin Zhen sat on the viewing platform, closed her eyes and rested, waiting for Ye Yousheng's game to end.

Although the competition stage was not as lively as it was in the afternoon, there were still bursts of cheers from time to time.

Qin Zhen didn't seem to be able to hear those noisy sounds, just leaned back on the seat quietly, and her right hand, hidden under the wide cuffs, trembled slightly because of the severe pain.

She couldn't control the black jade bracelet yet.

And before, in order to show weakness, he forcibly hid the bracelet and exposed the wound. The bracelet, which was originally only actively sucked once a month, seemed to be punishing her for her disrespect, and the black snake's head faintly glowed red, eating the new flesh that had just grown little by little.

Qin Zhen slowly controlled her breathing, so as not to look embarrassed.

But the pain is real, and so is the physical discomfort it brings.

Qin Zhen's face became whiter and paler, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Finally, when she was about to lose her breath, the black snake stopped biting, quieted down again, and changed back to the appearance of a black jade bracelet.

Qin Zhen opened her eyes, and beads of sweat fell from her eyelashes and dripped into her eyes, which was extremely sour.

The black jade bracelet was a product of refining when she first tried refining when she was a child.

At first, it was just an ordinary jade bracelet, which was worn by Qin Zhen on her wrist as a commemoration of her first successful refining.

But I don't know when it began, the jade bracelet was no longer controlled by her, starting from the head of the snake, and slowly turned into the appearance of a small black snake, wrapped around her hand, asking for her flesh and aura.

She didn't tell anyone about it.

After all, this kind of thing is too weird, and she can't involve people close to her until she figures it out.

The communication jade handle in his arms sounded "ding".

Qin Zhen awkwardly took out the communication jade handle from his arms with his still movable left hand, and there were two unread messages on it-

One is from Ye Yousheng, who may have just finished the competition, and the other is from Heng Mingzhi, who went out to collect medicine half a month ago and has not returned.

Qin Zhen clicked on Ye Yousheng's message first.

"Senior sister! I won it all today! Where are you now, I'm coming for you! ”

The corners of her lips unconsciously hooked up a smile, and Qin Zhen replied, "I'm on the No. 2 viewing platform." ”

After replying, she clicked on Heng Mingzhi's message again.

"I found the news of the Streamer Grass, this time it should be able to solve Ye Yousheng's poison. I'll be able to return to Liuxi Village in about three days, and we'll meet again in detail. ”

Qin Hao tapped his finger on the jade handle of the communication and paused, and his eyes became serious.

Qin Zhen's father, Qin Wenlin, picked up Ye Yousheng under the willow tree at the entrance of Liuxi Village. At that time, he was still a swaddling baby, and his whole body was so hot that he didn't even have the strength to cry. In the end, all the Lang Zhong and Qin Wenlin in Liuxi Village were busy for three days and three nights, and it took great effort to pull Ye Yousheng back from the ghost gate.

No one knows how Ye Yousheng appeared in Liuxi Village, and no one knows where he came from.

Qin Wenlin saw that he had the talent to cultivate immortals, so he accepted him into the Tianyi Sect and became Qin Zhen's junior disciple. And because he was found under the willow tree, he was named Ye Yousheng.

Although he was finally pulled back from the Ghost Gate, the poison in Ye Yousheng's body could not be eradicated, as if it was deeply rooted in his flesh and blood.

Ye Yousheng has been tormented by this poison since he was a child, and he will have attacks every two months, and his whole body hurts, like someone is smashing his bones one by one with a hammer.

And after Qin Zhen and Heng Mingzhi have worked together for many years to recuperate him, plus the poison has not endangered his life for the time being, the current situation is much better than at the beginning.

Legend has it that streamer grass can detoxify all kinds of poisons.

If you can get the streamer grass and give it to Ye Yousheng, maybe you can resolve Ye Yousheng's pain for so many years.

"Ah Sheng is competing in Qianyuan Sect, don't tell him about this yet, I'll find time to come back in a few days."

Qin Zhen thought for a moment and replied.

She didn't want to give Ye Yousheng unguaranteed expectations, so she should wait until she really got the Streamer Grass and then tell him the good news.

"Senior sister!"

Ye Yousheng's voice came from afar under the viewing platform.

Qin Zhen pressed her temples, took a deep breath, and adjusted her state before she stood up and walked towards Ye Yousheng.

"Senior sister, are you done talking to that 'acquaintance'?" Ye Yousheng looked around Qin Zhen and didn't see anyone.

"Well, just a few words."

Ye Yousheng was suspicious: "Who is it?" Can't you introduce me to my sister? ”

"Hmm......" Qin Hao hugged her chest and cheeks, "Not yet, I'll introduce you to each other when I have a chance in the future." ”

Although he has temporarily cooperated with Shen Hezheng, Shen Hezheng is not completely credible. After all, it would be bad if it was just a bitter ploy they played up to show her.

She can't trust Shen Hezheng just because she is soft-hearted.

"Okay." Ye Yousheng was a little lost, but he didn't say anything more.

Qin Zhen looked at his expression: "In order to celebrate Ah Sheng's victory on the first day of the competition, you can go wherever you want later, okay?" ”

"Good!" Ye Yousheng's eyes lit up.

In fact, he doesn't care where he goes, as long as he can be with his senior sister. But since the senior sister took the initiative to say so, he still wanted to find an interesting place, so maybe the senior sister would want to stay with him more in the future.

"Or ...... Go to Pot and Alley, right? Ye Yousheng hesitated.

During today's competition, he heard from the monks watching the battle on the stage that this place had been mentioned, saying that there were many stone inscriptions left by their predecessors, and as long as they were disciples of the sect under the Six Dao Alliance, they could enter and observe.

Pots and alleys?

Qin Zhen was slightly stunned, remembering Lin Peng, the leader of the law enforcement team she met in the morning.

His home is in Huhe Lane.

I didn't plan to have contact again in the future, but I didn't expect to see each other again so soon.

"Senior sister?"

Qin Zhen came back to her senses and nodded in Ye Yousheng's nervous expression: "Okay, let's go." ”

The two left the playing field side by side.

In the distance, the subjective divisions of each sect.

Shen Qifeng squinted at the backs of Qin Zhen and Ye Yousheng who were gone.

Only when the figure left his sight did he turn his head to talk to Shen Yingyao, who was bowing his head beside him.

At this time, his tone was very gentle, and when he reprimanded Shen Hezheng in the forbidden land, he was like two people.

"Yao'er, it's already very good to be able to achieve such cultivation at your age, so you don't have to be so demanding of yourself. No matter what happens to you, your father and mother will protect you. ”

Shen Yingyao pursed his lips when he heard this, wanting to say something, but his lips squirmed a few times, and he still didn't speak.

He kept his head down, Shen Qifeng didn't see his expression, only when he saw that Ye Yousheng was too bright, he felt uncomfortable, so he continued: "Yao'er, you can rest assured, no matter how bright Ye Yousheng is now, it is just a flash in the pan, since he is a disciple of Tianyi Sect, such an ending has been doomed." You are my son, and there is no need to be sad about this doomed person. ”

"Tianyi Sect?" Shen Yingyao raised his head in astonishment.

Ever since he was appointed as the Young Sect Master, he has been trying to remember all the sects in Xingzhou.

In his impression, Tianyi Sect was just a decaying sect that would disappear in Xingzhou in a short time, so he just took a quick look and skipped it.

In this competition, he only remembered Ye Yousheng's record, and he didn't have time to read his information, but it turned out that he was only cultivated from such a small sect?

Shen Yingyao clenched his fists, not only did he not be comforted by such words, but he became even more angry.

When he can't compare to Shen Hezheng, he can still deceive himself, it can be said that this is because Shen Hezheng is highly talented, and it can be said that because his father is strict with him, he has a lot of time to teach. It can also be said that Shen Hezheng has many opportunities to go out to practice, and he has gained a lot of experience.

But now Ye Yousheng's appearance ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

Shen Yingyao was a little dazed.

Why did my father make himself the young sect master? Is it because I love him more?

But if this is the case, why does the father only take his brother to cultivate, and why does the mother teach the elder brother a lesson, but indulges herself in every way.

Is this the right love?

No one could answer his questions, so he could only stand silently beside Shen Qifeng.

Every time he followed Shen Qifeng to attend this kind of scene, he would secretly imagine what it would be like for him to sit in his father's position in the future, imagining that he would learn from his father, do as well as his father, and protect the status of the first major sect in Xingzhou of the Qianyuan Sect.

But the more he grew up, the farther and farther this wish seemed to be from him.

Shen Yingyao suddenly wanted to chat with Shen Hezheng.

When he was very young, Shen Hezheng was still a good brother, but after he was able to start cultivating, Shen Hezheng no longer accompanied him like he did when he was a child.

He's always busy.

I don't know where Shen Hezheng is now, he just came back from a mission, maybe he should rest in his residence.

Shen Yingyao thought.
