This time, Zong Sheng attaches great importance to the outer door, and Xie Qingci himself also attaches great importance to it.

For her, this is not just a springboard, but also an opportunity for her to test the results of her three years of hard work.

In the Daoless Demon Sect, almost all the inner disciples started from the outer disciples, and they all came in after experiencing the tempering of the outer gate. Thinking about these tens of thousands of outer monks, in this kind of environment where you compete for each other, they force themselves to become stronger, and everyone is extremely desperate, and there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are frequent strong opponents.

However, there are many monks and few meats, and the resources are limited, and there are only 20 inner disciples. The Demon Sect is not a charity, and resources are only invested in valuable people, so the overall strength is extremely polarized, and the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.

If you want to get ahead, you can only speak with strength.

Xie Qingci ...... The 12th layer of Qi training...... Well. ”

The steward lowered his head and counted her information in the collection of jade slips.

"This is the first-round battle number, you put it away. Your opponent is number fifty-three. ”

After the steward registered her name and information, he handed her a wooden sign and instructed lightly.

Xie Qingci nodded, tightly squeezing the delicate little wooden card in his hand. The small wooden plaque is extremely simple, and it is simply carved with the three words "fifty-four", and there is also a mandala flower emblem of the sect.

The person next to him was talking.

"There are a lot of people this year, and those guys who don't usually go out of retreat have come out. ”

"This time it has nothing to do with me, the people who dare to sign up are all high-level Qi cultivators. ”

Someone sighed, and his tone contained helplessness: "I have participated in the outer gate competition four times, once every five years, I have not entered the top twenty once, and it is estimated that I can only die in this outer gate in this life." ”

"Instead of going on your own, it's better to be optimistic about a dark horse in advance, gamble, and earn some spirit stones to cultivate well. ”

Some people couldn't help but sigh and said in a pessimistic tone: "Tens of thousands of people choose twenty, it is really one in a thousand, where can you enter the inner door What kind of fuel-efficient lamp." Is it really my turn?"

“......”

Xie Qingci stood aside and listened to their words quietly, silent.

It seems that the competition is far more fierce than she imagined.

Knowing herself and knowing her opponent, she thought that she had to probe the opponent's bottom in advance and take the necessary precautions.

As for how to probe......

Xie Qingci looked at the lively crowd and couldn't help but move when he remembered a word he had just heard.

Bet?

---

"Little witch, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I've grown up and become beautiful. What do you want to bet on today?"

On the martial arts training ground, a fat man in blue clothes saw Xie Qingci's eyes light up, and waved his hand from afar.

This fat man's name is Tang Yuan, he has a good time playing at this outer gate, and his reputation is outside, and he is a little brother who opens a gambling game.

He is round, white and chubby, looks cute and cute, looks a little kind and cute, and looks very reassuring. A blue outfit can be said to be particularly conspicuous in the gray outer disciple's uniform in this water.

This fat man is not a disciple of the Demon Sect, he has been here for ten years, he has not seen him move, his strength is unknown, and he is allowed to open a gambling game in the sect by default.

This also made many people secretly surprised, this fat man seems to be from a lot of background, and the sect will actually protect him.

There are fewer people who find faults, and he has accumulated a good reputation for casinos, and has always been at the forefront of casinos, which can be called the opening model of the casino industry.

"Tang Xiaopang. ”

Xie Qingci waved his hand with a smile, which was regarded as a response.

I think when she first entered the outer gate, she went to the martial arts training ground to fight every day, and she was addicted to fighting, and she also got the nickname of "Heart-piercing Witch". This back and forth is also very familiar with this fat man who loves to gamble.

Seeing the fat man's happy appearance, she smiled very face-saving and replied to him: "Don't gamble today." ”

"Ouch, it's a shame that big customers don't gamble. ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately covered his chest with his fleshy hands, his bun-like face was wrinkled, and he looked regretful and sad, and he really looked a little bit like it.

Xie Qingci: Sure enough, he is a businessman, and his acting skills are much better than Lian Wangshu.

She complained silently, didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Tang Xiaopang, how much do you know about those monks who participated in the Outer Gate Competition?"

As she spoke, she took out a bag of spirit stones very well and stuffed them into the fat man's arms very neatly.

Tang Yuan reacted quickly, his eyes rolled around, and he first pretended to be modest: "Oh, we don't need to be good partners and good friends, I'm really embarrassed to take your spirit stone", while quickly putting away the spirit stone bag with his hands and feet, without dragging mud and water at all.

Xie Qingci: ......

Xie Qingci, who was accustomed to the shamelessness of fat people, did not show a trace of disgust, with a commercial smirk on his face, trying his best to cooperate with his performance.

The fat man looked for it in his small backpack and took out a small notebook and handed it to her.

"Phew, here. ”

Xie Qingci took it, flipped through it with some curiosity, and looked at some of the contents with a little surprise.

There are all kinds of portraits and various information marked, which can be called a comprehensive and complete account check.

Seeing the look of surprise on her face, Fat Tang touched his nose proudly:

"If you want to talk about this, then you really are asking the right person. He coughed pretending to be reserved, and his tone was deep: "This is the exclusive information that I have spent a lot of effort to collect, and I am a professional in terms of trading." There are about a few thousand people who participated in the outer door competition, but I deliberately squatted for a few months, and those who have potential and ability have been put on it, and no prohibition can stop the young master from pursuing the truth and facing the truth!"

Xie Qingci nodded very applaudedly, praised a few words in passing, and praised the little fat man's heart, for him, what is more exciting than his hard-earned results being affirmed by others.

Back in her small courtyard, Xie Qingci opened the book to study, and the first one was her old acquaintance - Zhong Ming.

She was a little amused, and suddenly became interested in seeing how the fat man described Zhong Da Bingshan.

"Zhong Ming, seventeen years old, water system Tianling root, great perfection of qi training, rarely shot, mysterious strength, indifferent and withdrawn personality, it is said that he once killed a wind beetle snake in the foundation building period, law cultivation, the weapon is a staff, and the strongest kill is ......"

It's quite a look, don't say anything else, this fat man is quite professional when he asks about people's details.

But Xie Qingci frowned and shook his head slightly. This information is a bit old, but Zhong Ming has indeed not appeared for a long time.

She has been practicing with Zhong Ming for almost a year, and in terms of understanding, there is no one in this Demon Sect who understands Zhong Ming's routines better than her.

She suddenly thought of something, and her eyes were in a trance for a moment.

"Speaking of which, Zhong Ming is still in the underworld, and I don't know when he will come back, whether he can participate in this competition. ”

She shook her head, interrupting her thoughts, Zhong Ming, this rotten person is very lucky, he shouldn't be able to die anyway.

She turned to the next page, and it showed a portrait of a teenager in his early teens.

"Huh?" she stared.

"Song Wei, nineteen years old, Jin Mu Twin Spiritual Roots, Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, Dharma Cultivation. A puppeteer with a special identity, who can control a primordial psychic drought, which is said to be his sister ......"

She groaned, she was actually a puppeteer.

She looked at the last line of words and couldn't help but tremble, feeling a little chilly. It feels a little scary to make my sibling sister a puppet or something.

"Gu Fang, twenty-three years old, water and earth double spirit root, sword cultivation, Qi cultivation ,...... Great Perfection"

"Ye Yu, twenty-three years old, gold, wood, water, fire, four spiritual roots, Dharma cultivation, Qi cultivation and great consummation......"

"Ye Lingling, twenty years old, fire system heavenly spirit root, law cultivation, Qi cultivation ...... Great Perfection"

“......”

Xie Qingci was very serious, silently studying the opponent's information, and his expression gradually became solemn.

This time, the big than the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, those big cows who are in retreat on weekdays are out of the customs, and it is not so easy to win.

She thought that she had to make arrangements early.

She took out a wooden board from the wooden hairpin, and her fingers gently stroked its rough surface, remembering something, and her eyes were a little eager to try......

---

Three days later.

The order card that Xie Qingci received was "fifty-four", which was relatively high, and she came to Mingyoutai early to wait for the game.

This Youtai is the venue of the Outer Gate Competition. The huge arena structure is somewhat similar to the martial arts training arena, but there is a huge difference between the two. The size of this Youtai alone is five times that of the martial arts training arena, and the quenched copper bricks used for casting are also very valuable, as well as the defensive formations that have been strengthened by the power of the sect, Xie Qingci felt that there was a whole piece of spiritual stone on the platform when he looked at it.

Look dazzled.

She sat quietly in the stands, far away from others, but she didn't seem to be a maverick either.

Most of these demon cultivators like to act individually, and they are alone, and it is rare to be in a group.

Xie Qingci watched silently, his brain thinking. Looking at it this way, most of the people who signed up were Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivators, not to mention others, not even her Qi Cultivation Twelve Layers.

At present, on the stage, there is a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Instrument Cultivation Battle, and a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Law Cultivation. This weapon cultivation is a little unusual, the weapon is actually a big shield, this method cultivation is also famous for the gentle attack of the earth spirit root monk, both sides are not aggressive monks, one is more difficult to deal with than the other, the battle situation is stalemate for a while, so it is consumed.

Xie Qingci held his chin, feeling a little bored. The next thing to fight is whose demonic energy reserves are even stronger.

Xie Qingci was bored, felt that his eyes were a little sour, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

When I raised my eyes, I found that there was another person in front of me, who was looking at her casually with his chest crossed.

Xie Qingci was a little surprised, and blurted out:

"Zhong Ming, you're not dead?"

Zhong Ming's originally calm and waveless face instantly turned black into a piece of charcoal.

He stared at Xie Qingci with a gloomy face, his eyes were cold.

Xie Qingci also knew that he was speechless, smiled awkwardly but politely, and hurriedly fooled him over.

"Hehe, I'm kidding, how can you die if you have a big life. ”

Zhong Ming pursed his lips and said nothing.

The turtle battle that was glued over there was also over, and the little brother of the instrument cultivator used his shield like a turtle shell to kill the little brother of the earth spirit root law cultivator on the opposite side.

After the game, both of them fell to the ground like a loss of strength, their faces were a little pale, and they looked like they had been sucked dry.

The referee announced with a blank face.

"In this battle, Li Qiu really won. ”

"The next one, forty-five versus forty-six. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Mingdaoyou, who had just been fluttering beside Xie Qingci and exuding a frozen atmosphere, moved, and directly came to a beautiful water escape, and the whole person quietly appeared on the stage like bubble ripples.

He still had a cold face.

"Zhong Ming, the practice of qi is complete. ”

He was faced off with a dashing-looking handsome boy, who bowed with grace and humility.

"Ancient recipe, the great perfection of qi practice, please give more advice from Taoist friends. ”

Xie Qingci immediately cheered up, and the whole person changed from a lazy and drowsy state in an instant, straightened up like a javelin, with a serious expression, and stared intently at the stage.

Three years have passed, and she has made rapid progress in the special training of the Demon Mist Forest, and what is the strength of Zhong Ming, who stayed in the underworld to travel?
