Chapter 226: Listening to the News
"Good. Xuyunzi nodded.
Xu You immediately turned into a ray of light and flew away in an instant.
Although the alliance competition is nominally jointly organized by the five major families, in fact, each year is hosted by one family, and the other families only provide rewards and participate in the competition, and then the next competition is hosted by another family, and in turn.
This avoids fighting each other and increases efficiency. For the host family, although it costs financial, material and manpower, as compensation, the children of the family can be tilted to a certain extent in the competition, and the selected outstanding talents also have the right of priority, which is also the unspoken rule of the five families.
This alliance competition is hosted by the Huo family, and the location is located in the area under the Huo family, a big city called Guyang.
Xu You had already inquired about these news very clearly.
A few days later, when he flew to Guyang City, the city was already overcrowded, almost much more prosperous than when the ruins of the ancient tomb were born more than half a year ago.
The fame of the five major families is far and wide, and the alliance competition is a rare opportunity, once in a decade, almost everyone who knows the news does not want to miss it.
Fortunately, Guyang City is large enough, and it has been prepared for a long time, and the core children of the Huo family personally took over the city half a year ago.
In addition to arranging the arena, the Huo family also moved all the mortal residents of the city in advance, and transformed a large number of buildings into inns, teahouses, trading markets and other places convenient for monks to communicate and live.
In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and gather people to make trouble, the Huo family also sent hundreds of soul realm guards to form dozens of squads to monitor and patrol day and night, and strictly enforce city discipline.
Moreover, every monk who enters Guyang City must pay the spirit stone, register for the record, receive the identity jade plate, and leave a breath imprint at the same time. In case something happens, the Huo family has a case to check.
In this way, although there were a large number of monks entering Guyang City, they were well organized and did not have the slightest sense of chaos. Moreover, it was taken in the name of the Huo family's fifth-level family, even if some people had dark thoughts. I don't dare to show it at will.
Xu You nodded secretly, the Huo family can become a fifth-level family, it is not in vain, just these disciplined methods are not comparable to those second-rate families and sects.
At the gate of the city, he handed over five symbolic spirit stones, then left a fake name and breath imprint, and after receiving the identity jade plate, he entered the city smoothly.
The magic of the Hundred Illusion Mask. It is that not only can he cover his original breath imprint, but he can also disguise new aura imprints at will according to his mind, so Xu You is not worried about being dismantled at all.
After entering the city, Xu You quickly found a rather luxurious inn. Although the price of a first-class single room in the inn had skyrocketed to fifty spirit stones a day due to the influx of a large number of monks, he still did not hesitate to rent it directly for a month.
With his current net worth, thousands of spirit stones are simply a drop in the bucket.
The inn saw that there were big customers, and they didn't dare to slack off. The boss and his buddies went into battle and respectfully and warmly invited him to a private room. Busy waiting, seeing those monks who were shy in their pockets and could only squeeze with others, their eyes were hot for a while.
Although the monks don't care about the living conditions, as long as there is a place to meditate, even in the wilderness, they can be at peace with the situation, but they can have better living conditions. Naturally, no one wants to be so poor.
It's not a question of enjoyment or not, it's a matter of face.
After settling down, Xu You didn't stay for a while, then left the inn again and went straight to the trading market in Guyang City. He's not here to get something. Instead, in the trading market, you can listen to a lot of news.
There are still seven days left before the start of the league tournament, and before that, the prizes will be announced, and if there is a weaving god grass, he will have to sign up for the competition.
Once you participate in the competition, you need to grasp the information of those participating monks, especially those who are famous and powerful, and the news will definitely spread. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
After all, he is still only in the early stage of his soul, although his combat power is strong and he has a few hole cards, he doesn't dare to say that he can beat the world.
The trading market of Guyang City is quite large, with a radius of more than ten miles, and there are many people inside, and countless monks have already set up their stalls, shouting loudly and selling the items and treasures in front of them.
Not all the monks who entered Guyang City came to participate in the competition, many of them just wanted to take this opportunity to make a small fortune, or to barter, or to find some treasures, or simply to see the world.
To participate in the competition, you also need to be eligible, spiritual realm monks must be under 70 years old, and soul realm monks must be under 150 years old. Beyond this age, the contest will not be accepted.
The purpose of the five major families is to select talents, if they exceed these two years to achieve the spiritual realm and soul realm, it means that the potential is not great, even if the cultivation is high, it is not worth cultivating.
Xu You walked slowly in the trading market, and his spiritual sense swept in front of the stalls set up by the monks, although it was impossible to weave divine grass here, but if there was a good thing he liked, he could still buy it.
"Take a look, take a look, my wind and rain sword is a low-grade spirit treasure of water attributes, although it is not the top, but it can increase the power of the water system spirit technique by fifty percent, fifty percent, everyone must know that the power of one percent may increase your chances of winning in battle, especially now that the competition is about to begin, there is a satisfactory spirit treasure, you win and enterprising, and the hope of being selected by the five major families is a little more." ”
"Fellow Daoists, don't miss it when you pass by, my set of floating cloud suits can increase your speed by three percent, you must know the Tao, the world's supernatural powers, only fast and unbroken, if you can dominate in speed, even the opponent who is stronger than you is helpless against you, when the time comes, be aggressive in the competition, rush all the way, and break all the eyeballs, isn't it fast, and this suit is also very cheap, only sells eight thousand spirit stones, eight thousand spirit stones, ......"
"Everyone, please look at me here, there are all kinds of healing elixirs, as well as precious auxiliary spiritual materials, competitions, fists and feet without eyes, no matter who you are, it is inevitable that you will be injured, but will Lingbao help you heal? Will Lingshu help you heal? As long as the elixir and spiritual materials are the best helpers for you to participate in the competition, here I have the elixir you need most, hurry up and take a look." ”
"I sell talismans here, and using them in tournaments will definitely surprise your opponents and give you an upper hand. The price is cheap, Tong Su is not deceived, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy fooled, the real value for money. ”
......
All kinds of shouting voices filled the ears, and almost every stall was surrounded by a large group of monks, who fell in love with the treasures of the goods, and engaged in a verbal battle with the stall owner, bargaining.
These are all casual exercises to prepare for the competition, and since you are ready to fight, of course you must be prepared.
Xu You couldn't help but think of the trading market in Taichumen, which was also so lively. Of course, the trading market of Taichumen naturally cannot be compared with here.
Of the monks who can appear in Guyang City, sixty percent are spiritual realms, thirty percent are soul realms, and one percent are spiritual light realm powers.
The monks who participated in the competition were not all casual cultivators who came to visit, and a considerable number of them were monks of the second, third, and fourth levels.
If they can take this opportunity to climb the high branches of the five major families, not only can they enter the top power of the five families, but they can also make the original organization become the vassal power of the five families, and they will rise with the tide.
Although those Spiritual Light Realm cultivators could not participate in the competition, they could cheer for their juniors, analyze intelligence, provide Lingbao elixirs, and even secretly come forward if necessary, threatening to suppress those casual cultivators who had no background, and fighting for their juniors to have the opportunity to advance first.
At this time, it reflects the superiority of organized and powerful forces.
This kind of thing can't be prevented, and as long as it doesn't really interfere with the competition, the organizers will turn a blind eye, after all, there are too many participating monks, and it is impossible to demand absolute fairness.
No matter where you are, you are the hardest part, and you can only rely on yourself.
"Have you heard? Lao Yang, this time in the alliance competition hosted by the Huo family, in the Soul Realm Division, Lu Xinyan, the fiancée of Huo Jinglong, the eldest son of the Huo family, will also participate in person!"
Suddenly, a deep voice fell into Xu You's ears.
Xu You was taken aback, not because he suddenly heard Lu Xinyan's name, but because the voice said that Lu Xinyan was actually going to participate in the competition in the Soul Realm Division.
Could it be that Lu Xinyan has also broken through the Soul Realm? How is this possible, the last time I saw her in the Lei family, she was only at the peak of the early stage of the Spiritual Realm, and she was still one realm worse than herself, and now she has only become a Soul Realm cultivator in just half a year?
This cultivation speed is too fast.
Xu You's face changed, he broke through quickly, that was because of the adventure of the Void Cloud Child, the ancient tomb ruins, the memory inheritance of the three Soul Realm cultivators, and the decomposition of a large number of zombie spirit energy, coupled with the supply of countless spirit pills, this was the only way to break through the Soul Realm in a short period of time.
Why is she Lu Xinyan?
Suddenly, Xu You laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling that he was drilling the horns of the bull.
He has adventures, others may not have adventures, and he is not the darling of the world, and the fate will not revolve around him alone.
With the potential power of the Huo family's fifth-level clan, it is a unique opportunity in itself, and Lu Xinyan can break through the soul realm in a short period of time, she must have her own adventures, and there is nothing strange about it.
I didn't expect this girl to participate in the competition...... He thought to himself, following the prestige.
I saw that not far away, a short Soul Realm monk was holding a jade slip in his hand, and he was talking to a triangular-eyed Soul Realm monk opposite, and the words just now came from his mouth.
"The Huo family's eldest and youngest grandmother also wants to participate? Is this necessary? Her status is already very high, even if it is for experience, she doesn't need to participate in the alliance competition, right?" The triangular-eyed soul realm monk said in surprise.
"Isn't this still understood? This year is the competition hosted by the Huo family, and the results of the competition can be tilted to a certain extent for the children of the Huo family. "The little friar. (To be continued......)
