67 small ratios
Qingyun Peak currently has five hundred and thirty-two disciples, and those over sixty years old cannot participate in the small competition, and a group of disciples have been screened, some disciples have gone out to perform tasks, and some disciples have cultivated too low.
According to the results of the small comparison in previous years, the top fifty also have a seventh-level cultivation of qi refining at the least.
The disciples gathered in twos and threes and divided into small groups.
Time passed little by little, and one after another, Qi refining disciples came here, the number of people exceeded three hundred, and Qian Dafu also came, he walked to Shen Long's side and chatted with Shen Long and a few people.
"Senior Brother Chen and Senior Sister Chen are also here, they were ranked seventh and fifth in the small competition last time, and this time they should be competing for the first place."
Qian Dafu whispered.
Shen Long looked in the direction Qian Dafu was pointing and saw a young man in white with a handsome face and a girl in a water-blue horse-faced skirt, both of whom had a ninth-level cultivation of qi refining.
More than twenty Qi Refining Cultivators gathered around them, and there was also a minimum of the sixth level of Qi Refining.
The young man in white is called Chen Tai, and the girl in the blue dress is called Chen Yue, the two are brother and sister, and they are siblings.
After a cup of tea, Qin Shan and more than a dozen Qi Refining Cultivators walked out of the Qingyun Palace.
"The disciples who participated in the small competition came to sign up, and they are ready to draw lots for the competition."
Qin Shan said.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Long and the others walked towards Qinshan one after another, lining up to sign up.
In less than half an hour, Qin Shan had registered, and a total of three hundred and forty-five Qi Refining Cultivators participated, with a minimum of four levels of Qi Refining.
The odds of the fourth layer of Qi refining advancing to the top fifty are negligible, and their participation in the small competition is to test their strength.
Qin Shan sent people to take a large number of cyan bamboo sticks and put them in a cyan Ding furnace, each cyan bamboo stick had a number written on it, and the disciples who participated in the small competition drew the bamboo sticks, and then registered, and drew the disciples with the same number to face each other in the ring.
After registering, Qin Shan walked into the Qingyun Palace, where Liu Xian and a tall man in blue shirts were chatting.
The man in the blue shirt was Xu Hai, the peak master of Qingyun Peak, if it weren't for Xiaobi's need for the foundation building monk to preside, he wouldn't want to get out.
Each outer peak has two foundation building cultivators, who mainly manage the daily life and cultivation of qi refining cultivators, teach them, and cultivate more talents for the Imperial Spirit Sect.
Xu Hai just took a fancy to the treatment of the peak master, and was not interested in supervising the cultivation of qi refining disciples, so he basically didn't care about things, and handed over the affairs to Liu Xian to manage.
Qin Shan walked in and reported, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Liu, have already registered, a total of 345 people have participated in the small competition, and the lottery has been drawn, there is no problem."
"Let's get started! Command again, don't harm your fellow disciples, even if you miss, this sect will not spare it."
Xu Hai commanded.
If a disciple is killed in Xiaobi, Xu Hai and Liu Xian will also be in trouble.
"Yes, Uncle Xu."
Qin Shan agreed to come down and took the order.
Walking out of the Qingyun Palace, Qin Shan took the disciples to the ring, there are fifty bluestone rings, each bluestone ring has a size of hundreds of zhang, and the corresponding number is written.
"Draw the number one to fifty lots, walk to the corresponding ring, prepare for the competition, I remind you, the small competition will stop at the point, and you must not harm the life of the same name, whether you are intentional or unintentional, the law enforcement hall will not be spared, you all know the door rules."
Qin Shan said.
All disciples have to enter the Confession Pavilion to study for a period of time, and the rules of the door must be memorized.
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin."
Shen Long and the other disciples said in unison, and their voices shook the sky.
Shen Long signed the No. 48 lot, and he walked to the No. 48 ring.
His opponent was a young woman in a white dress in her early thirties, with three spirit beast bags tied around her waist, and the young woman in the white dress had an eighth-level cultivation of qi refining.
According to Xiaobi's rules, you can win by breaking the opponent's defenses.
Next to each ring is a disciple over the age of 60 who acts as a referee.
The blue light flashed, and a thick cyan light curtain emerged, covering the bluestone rings.
"The competition begins."
Qin Shan said loudly.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Long and others made a move.
Shen Long raised his right hand, and a giant fireball the size of a water tank flew out and smashed into the young woman in the white dress, and at the same time, a blue water curtain appeared close to his body, protecting his whole body.
The young woman in the white dress reacted quickly, and the white jade pendant on her chest lit up with a white light, and a thick white light curtain appeared, covering her whole body.
She held out a shield with a glimmer of white light in front of her.
She patted the two spirit beast bags on her waist, an ice crystal scorpion with a large size and a cyan giant crane with its wings spread out and flew out, both of them were late first-order stages.
"Go!"
The young woman in the white dress pointed at the opposite side with her right hand, and the ice crystal scorpion spewed out more than a dozen white ice picks more than two feet long, and the wings of the cyan giant crane were lightly fanned, and more than a dozen two-foot-long cyan wind blades flew out, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long didn't dare to be careless, and released the Fire Rock Beast and the Iron-tailed Scorpion to deal with the Ice Crystal Scorpion and the Cyan Giant Crane.
The Fire Rock Beast opened its bloody jaws and spewed out billowing flames towards the oncoming white icicles.
More than a dozen cyan wind blades struck the blue water curtain one after another, and the blue water curtain rippled.
Shen Long's hands were raised together, and giant fireballs flew out, smashing on the white shield one after another.
After a muffled rumble, the white shield was drowned by billowing flames.
Shen Long's hands slashed across the void, and a huge fireball the size of a house appeared, emitting a terrifying high temperature, smashing into the opposite side.
The young woman in the white dress frowned, pinched the magic trick, and the white shield suddenly burst into white light and greeted her.
The giant fireball smashed on the white shield, and it suddenly burst open, and the rolling flames enveloped a radius of more than ten zhang, even through the white light curtain, the young woman in the white dress could feel a high temperature.
Before the flames had dissipated, another giant fireball smashed over, and the fire swelled.
The Ice Crystal Scorpion was entangled with the Fire Rock Beast and the Irontail Scorpion, and the cyan giant crane unleashed a series of cyan wind blades to attack Shen Long, but failed to break through the Xuanshui Shield.
It hovered in the air, swooped down, and a pair of sharp claws went straight towards Shen Long, and the speed was very fast.
Shen Long's right hand flicked, and a huge fireball flew out and smashed into the cyan giant crane.
With a flap of the cyan crane's wings, more than a dozen cyan wind blades flew out, smashing the giant fireball, and the giant fireball burst open, turning into a rolling flame covering the cyan crane.
The cyan crane circled, avoiding the flames.
A two-foot-long white ice pick shot out, the cyan giant crane could not avoid it, and with a flap of its wings, more than a dozen cyan wind blades flew out, smashing the white ice pick.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a huge fireball smashed into the young woman in the white dress again, and the fire swelled, and the rolling flames drowned the figure of the young woman in the white dress, and the ground was burned red by the flames.
Before the flames had dissipated, another giant fireball the size of a house slammed in.
The cyan giant crane wanted to support, a thick red flame flew out, and the fire rock beast and the iron-tailed scorpion joined forces, and they had already injured the ice crystal scorpion, the ice crystal scorpion's body surface was scorched, its breath was sluggish, and there were several blood holes in its back.
You can't fight with the same door, there is no problem with spirit beasts, spirit insects and spirit birds, otherwise there is no way to compete, Sun Furong does not participate in the small competition, and there are also reasons for this.
She is not sure of entering the top fifty, the level of the spirit beast and spirit insect is not high, it is not good to participate in the small competition, the spirit insect spirit beast was killed, the previous Xiaobi did not have this kind of thing, I am not in danger of life, the spirit beast spirit insect that has been cultivated for many years was killed, and the strength plummeted.
The cyan giant crane didn't dare to make a hard connection, so he hurriedly avoided it, and with a flap of his wings, more than a dozen cyan wind blades hit the body of the fire rock beast one after another, and there was a muffled sound of gold and iron strikes, and there were many shallow slash marks on the surface of the fire rock beast's body.
Shen Long put away the iron-tailed scorpion to prevent being seriously injured by the cyan giant crane, and it was not a problem for the fire rock beast to entangle the cyan giant crane.
The cyan giant crane hovered high in the sky, releasing a spell to attack Shen Long, but was stopped by the Fire Rock Beast, it wanted to attack Shen Long in close quarters, and Shen Long was a giant fireball in his hand.
Shen Long's casting speed was too fast, attacking the cyan giant crane while attacking the young woman in the white dress.
A blue light flickering orb flew out from the flames and headed straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long's fighting skills were experienced, and he hurriedly took out two flashing talisman seals and slapped them on his body, adding a cyan light curtain and a golden light curtain on his body.
When the cyan bead arrived in front of Shen Long, he could clearly see that there was a trace of cyan arc beating on the surface of the bead, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
The cyan orb burst open, turning into a huge ball of cyan thunder, drowning Shen Long's figure.
The cyan crane swooped down from the sky and headed straight for the cyan thunder.
Four flying knives with yellow light flew out and slashed towards the cyan crane.
The cyan giant crane flapped its wings and released more than a dozen cyan wind blades, which were smashed by four yellow flying knives.
At this time, the flames also dissipated, and the white light curtain on the young woman in the white dress loomed, and the white shield showed traces of fire.
"Son and Mother Blade!"
The young woman in the white dress was surprised, she saw the dying ice crystal scorpion, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and she withdrew the ice crystal scorpion into the spirit beast bag.
Shen Long had already shown mercy to his subordinates, even if he killed the Ice Crystal Scorpion, he did not violate Xiaobi's rules.
The four blades went straight for the young woman in the white dress, and a huge fireball the size of a house followed, smashing into the young woman in the white dress.
The young woman in the white dress slapped two defensive talismans on her body, and at the same time offered a white jade ruler that was a few feet long, and with a slight flick, more than a dozen white ice picks flew out, facing the giant fireball.
With a loud rumbling sound, a huge fireball burst open, turning into billowing flames, drowning the figure of the young woman in the white dress.
Shen Long kept releasing giant fireballs to attack the young woman in the white dress, and the cyan giant crane was stopped by the fire rock beast, and there was no way to support, and Shen Long's spell casting speed was too fast.
In less than half an hour, the young woman in the white dress opened her mouth to admit defeat, and Shen Long won the victory and advanced to the second round, where he eliminated fifty Qi Refining Cultivators in the first round.
"Congratulations! Senior Brother Shen."
Qian Dafu congratulated Shen Long.
"It's just been a round, congratulations to me if you can make it to the top 50!"
Shen Long said, his eyes looking towards a bluestone ring.
Ye Yuqing was fighting with a burly golden-shirted man, and the golden-shirted man released a Chiyan Tiger and a Howling Wind Wolf, both of which were in the late stage of the first order.
Ye Yuqing released a Qingfeng Tiger and a Qinglei Eagle, the Qingfeng Tiger is the late first-order stage, and the Qinglei Eagle is the middle of the first order, they are entangled together, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.
She sacrificed more than a dozen fire snake talismans, turned into more than a dozen red fire snakes that were a few feet long, and pounced on the golden-shirted man.
The cyan spirit boots under the feet of the golden-shirted man shone brightly, and his body retreated, avoiding more than a dozen red-colored fire snakes, but soon, dozens of cyan wind blades flew in and attacked the golden-shirted man.
The golden-shirted man was about to avoid it, the ground shattered under his feet, and two big yellow hands appeared and grabbed his feet.
He had no choice but to sacrifice a golden shield to block the attacking cyan wind blade.
More than two dozen red fiery snakes pounced and slammed into the golden shield one after another.
There was a loud rumbling bang, and the rolling flames drowned the figure of the golden-shirted man.
Ye Yuqing sacrificed more than 20 fire snake talismans, turned into more than 20 red fire snakes with a length of a few feet, and pounced on the opposite side.
There was a loud bang, the fire swelled, and the heat made the ground show signs of melting.
Before the flames dissipated, Ye Yuqing took out another stack of fire snake talismans.
"Stop, Senior Sister Ye, stop, I'm throwing in the towel."
The voice of the golden-shirted man was heard from the flames.
Only then did Ye Yuqing put away the fire snake talisman, the flames dissipated, and the golden-shirted man's body was covered with a looming golden light curtain, sweating profusely.
"Agreed, Senior Brother Sun."
Ye Yuqing clenched his fists and said.
Shen Long nodded, he roughly calculated, in this competition, the talisman seal that Ye Yuqing sacrificed was worth more than eight hundred spirit stones, plus a few hundred spirit stones, he could buy a high-grade magic weapon.
Where is Ye Yuqing's fighting method, but smashing spirit stones.
Shen Long looked at the other ring, Gu Tianhong was holding a red flying knife in his hand, and seven red flying knives attacked a thin man in a blue shirt.
An ice crystal scorpion and a red giant toad were fighting on the ground, and a green thunder falcon and a cyan giant crane were fighting fiercely in the sky, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom, all of them were late first-order stages.
It didn't take long for seven red throwing knives to break through the blue-shirted man's defenses and pass by the blue-shirted man.
The man in the blue shirt broke out in a cold sweat, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Gu for keeping your hand, I admit defeat."
"Senior Brother Xu, I agreed."
Gu Tianhong clenched his fists and said.
At the end of the first round of competition, there are still one hundred and seventy-three people left, the number is singular, there will be an empty lot, and the empty draw will directly advance to the third round, Shen Long drew the forty-fifth, his opponent is a red-shirted young man in his early twenties, only the fifth layer of qi refining.
At the beginning of the competition, Shen Long shook his right hand, and a red fireball the size of a water tank flew out and smashed into the red-shirted youth.
The red-shirted young man hurriedly sacrificed a red shield, blocked in front of him, and released a fire cloud clam and a green thunder eagle, both of which were mid-first order.
The blue light on the surface of Shen Long's body flashed, and a thick blue water curtain appeared close to his body, protecting his whole body, and releasing the Fire Rock Beast to attack the Fire Cloud Clam.
The green thunder eagle opened its mouth and spewed out a cyan lightning bolt the thickness of a baby's arm, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long's figure flickered, avoiding the cyan lightning.
The green thunder eagle continued to release cyan lightning bolts to attack Shen Long, and Shen Long avoided them all with the Great Perfection's Wind Resisting Technique.
The Fire Cloud Clam and the Fire Rock Beast are entangled together, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.
While dodging the attack of the Blue Thunder Eagle, Shen Long released a giant fireball to attack the red-shirted youth.
With a loud rumbling bang, the rolling flames drowned the red shield, and the red-shirted youth was also drowned in flames.
The attacks of the Green Thunder Eagle were all in vain, Shen Long was moving too fast, and the red-shirted youth did not have Shen Long's reaction.
The wings of the green thunder eagle spread out, swooped down from the sky, and went straight to Shen Long.
Shen Long casually released a giant fireball and smashed it towards the Green Thunder Eagle, who opened its mouth and spewed out a cyan lightning bolt, hitting the giant fireball.
After the loud rumbling sound, a huge fireball burst out, and the billowing flames shrouded the green thunder eagle, and the green thunder eagle avoided it.
It hadn't flown far before four yellow flying knives shot out, and the green thunder eagle's wings fanned, avoiding the four yellow flying knives, and the four yellow flying knives circled one by one and chased after it.
Shen Long manipulated the blade to attack the green thunder eagle, and at the same time released a giant fireball to attack the red-shirted youth.
In less than half an hour, the red-shirted young man was defeated, Shen Long's spell casting speed was too fast, and the Great Perfection's fireball technique was very powerful, he couldn't stop it at all, and the talisman seal he purchased was tried in the last round.
Shen Long successfully advanced to the third round, this round ended, leaving eighty-seven people, less than a hundred, no need to draw lots to compete, go to the Thousand Demon Tower to break through, according to the results of the ranking.
Ye Yuqing, Ye Yutang, Qin Bao, Gu Tianhong, Tang Yuting, Wei Yue, Han Shi, Chen Tai, Chen Yue, Li Lei and others all advanced to the third round, among the eighty-seven people, there was a fifth-layer monk of qi refining, his opponent in the first round of the competition was the fourth layer of qi refining, and the second round was drawn to the empty lot, and he directly advanced to the third round.
"Congratulations on advancing to the third round, have a good rest, have lunch, gather here, and Uncle Liu will take you to the Thousand Demon Tower."
Qin Shan said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin."
Shen Long and the others agreed in unison and left one after another.
It's still early, and the Confucianism Pavilion will not teach today.
"Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Li, how many drinks will you have at my residence?"
Qin Bao said enthusiastically.
According to the strength of Shen Long, Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang, it is not a problem to squeeze into the top 50.
"Senior Brother Qin, let's drink it when Xiaobi is finished! Save the good wine for now."
Shen Long said.
"That's right, save the good wine first."
Ye Yutang agreed.
"Okay, then it's over, let's get together for a few drinks."
Qin Bao said with a smile.
As soon as Shen Long returned to his residence, Sun Furong came over.
Shen Long smiled slightly and asked, "Senior Sister Sun, is there something wrong?"
Sun Furong took out a cyan jade slip, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "This is what my father asked me to give you, some of his experience in breaking into the Thousand Demon Pagoda, I hope I can help you."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Sun, come in and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue!"
Shen Long accepted the jade slip and sent out an invitation.
"Another day! I also want to go to Senior Brother Qin and Senior Sister Ye's residences and give them my father's experience in breaking into the Thousand Demon Tower, hoping to help them."
Sun Furong said.
Sun Sen asked her to run errands, making it clear that she would have a good fate, even if there was one person who received this love, it was enough.
"Okay, I'll have time another day, so I'll have to come and sit down."
Shen Long was not reluctant.
Sun Furong chatted a few words, said goodbye and left.
Shen Long walked into a secret room, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out a cyan jade slip, and put it on his eyebrows.
At noon, Shen Long walked out of Qingmei Courtyard and came to Lingshan Pavilion, there were not many disciples dining, most of them were disciples who had advanced to the third round, and some disciples were discussing breaking into the Thousand Demon Pagoda.
Shen Long's gaze swept away, and he didn't see Ye Yuqing and other acquaintances.
He took the food and found an empty table to sit down to eat.
After lunch, Shen Long came to the gate of Qingyun Palace, Ye Yuqing, Qin Bao, Gu Tianhong and others had already arrived.
Shen Long walked up to Ye Yuqing and chatted.
It didn't take long for Qin Shan to walk out and start the roll call, and after confirming that all the disciples who had advanced to the third round had arrived, he walked into the Qingyun Hall and reported to Liu Xian and Xu Hai.
"Senior Brother Liu, you are tired and take them to the Thousand Demon Tower, and I will go back to cultivate."
After Xu Hai said this, he walked towards the side hall.
Liu Xian was already accustomed to it, nodded and walked out.
"Meet Uncle Liu."
Shen Long and the others bowed and said in unison.
Liu Xian nodded, slapped the white spirit beast bag on his waist with his right hand, and a snow-winged ice worm more than ten zhang long flew out, looking at its breath, it was a second-order spirit worm.
"Come up! I'll take you to the Thousand Demon Tower."
Liu Xian walked to the back of the snow-winged ice beetle, and Shen Long and the others hurriedly followed.
The wings of the snowwing ice beetle flapped slightly, and a cold wind blew, and some white ice chips appeared on the ground, and it carried Shen Long and the others towards the sky.
After the snow-winged ice beetle flew out for more than a hundred miles, a tactful female voice sounded: "Senior Brother Liu, why are you leading the team again? Senior Brother Xu!"
A red light flew from a distance, and soon caught up with them, the red light was an eight-winged thunder fire beetle more than ten zhang long, more than sixty disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect stood on it, led by a young woman in a red dress in her early forties, with delicate facial features and a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Long swept his eyes and saw Sun Yao, it seemed that this was a disciple of Qingmei Peak.
"Senior Brother Xu has retreated and cultivated, Senior Sister Liang, there are far fewer disciples from your Qingmei Peak who have advanced to the final round than last time."
Liu Xian asked casually.
The young woman in the red dress is called Liang Ying, and she is the peak master of Qingmei Peak.
"There are a little fewer disciples participating in Xiaobi, and naturally there are fewer disciples who have advanced to the final round, by the way, I heard that there is a disciple in your Qingyun Peak who has a good talent in magic, and he has also advanced to the last round!"
Liang Ying asked.
"Shen Long is out of the ranks."
Liu Xian commanded.
Qingyun Peak's affairs are all in his hands, Xu Hai is a name, which disciples are diligent in cultivation, and which disciples are idle, Liu Xian is clear.
"Disciple Shen Long, I've seen Aunt Liang."
Shen Long took a step forward and bowed.
"It's a good thing to have a talent for magic, but this sect is famous for repelling insects and beasts, so don't give up this advantage."
Liang Ying said.
"Yes, the disciple must follow the teachings of Aunt Liang."
Shen Long hurriedly agreed.
"I haven't seen her for many years, but Senior Sister Liang still likes to mention juniors."
A gruff man's voice came from afar.
A golden light appeared in the distant sky, and a flicker stopped, revealing a flying boat with golden light, on which more than seventy Imperial Spirit Sect monks were standing, led by a golden-shirted man with a big waist and a round waist.
The face of the golden-shirted man is rough and resolute, and he stands with his hands behind his back, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Senior Brother Wang, aren't you out on a mission? I haven't seen you in years, why are you leading the team in Qingzhu Peak?"
Liu Xian greeted with a smile.
The golden-shirted man surnamed Wang Mingchong is one of the seventy-two shows of the Imperial Spirit Sect, with strong strength and fame.
"After completing the task, I will come back, I will go to Qingzhu Peak to find Senior Sister Liu, ask her to help refine a furnace of elixir, and help her take the disciples of Qingzhu Peak to break into the Thousand Demon Pagoda."
Wang Chong explained.
Liu Xian suddenly realized and said, "Let's go over! I haven't seen you in a long time, so let's have a good chat."
The snow-winged ice beetle under him sped up its speed, and Liang Ying and Wang Chong controlled the spirit worm and flying magic weapon and followed.
