Chapter 196: Contest Rules

Only then did Su Aotian understand that it was no wonder that Teng Yunqiang and Yuan Hengbo were busy all day long, it turned out that they were planning such a big business, it seems that their unintentional words have been deeply implanted in Teng Yunqiang's heart, and they are going to work hard. It's just that he didn't expect Yuan Hengbo to be full of enthusiasm for this, thinking of the disciples of Nishang Yuntian that she said, their cultivation is about entering the WTO, and secretly thinking that this may be a way for them to practice.

After watching the excitement, Teng Yunqiang was so busy that Su Aotian didn't pay attention to it anymore and was ready to turn around, Murong Qiubai and the others were still unsatisfied, so Su Aotian went back first. In the next ten days, Teng Yunqiang did not come back at all, and Su Aotian was happy to be pure and quietly cultivated. In fact, cultivation at this time is better than nothing, the start of the elite conference has been less than two years, in such a short period of time, the improvement of cultivation is close to nothing, but cultivation is originally a matter of accumulation over time, and Su Aotian is not willing to let go of the slightest time.

A month and a half later, the monks of Zhongzhou Mansion purchased the first batch of items from the Eastern Region, which had been delivered to the Zhongzhou branch of Duobaoge. In order to achieve a better publicity effect, Teng Yunqiang and Yuan Hengbo discussed, organized an on-site delivery conference, and called on buyers to come to Duobaoge to pick up the goods on the spot.

On this day, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhongzhou Mansion is an empty alley, whether it is a buyer or not, countless people flock to see the excitement. For this first shot, Teng Yunqiang spent a lot of money, and even persuaded Nishang Yuntian to use their flying boat to pick up this batch of goods, in addition to being responsible for all the spirit stones consumed, he also gave Nishang Yuntian a large amount of employment fees. But he also put forward a request, that is, when the flying boat appeared, he hoped to mark the word "Duobao" on the body of the boat to further enhance the popularity of Duobao Pavilion.

At the moment of the appearance of the flying boat, the warm atmosphere of the scene reached its peak, and many monks saw the legendary flying boat for the first time in their lives, cheering and excited. The three big characters of "Duobao" are typed on both sides of the boat, shining with golden light, rich and powerful, Teng Yunqiang is full of ambition, and his face is smiling.

He also set up a large crystal board at the door of the branch, the buyer is willing to open the package on the spot, willing to return to the residence and then open it, can enter the evaluation of this time into their own card, the crystal board will immediately show "good, medium, poor" three grades, express their satisfaction with the transaction. As a result, in the selection of the day, the good options were as high as 70%, the medium options were close to 30%, and the poor options were very small. Teng Yunqiang was dissatisfied, saying that he would continue to improve and eliminate all the poor options, and his statement was praised by the monks.

In this way, more monks were attracted to register and apply for cards in Duobao Pavilion, and the business of Duobao Pavilion developed rapidly and flourished. Su Aotian was also very happy to see Teng Yunqiang's victory in the first battle, but immediately after, Teng Yunqiang came to him, and said that he didn't expect the Duobao Pavilion to develop so rapidly, and during this period, it was all thanks to the strong support of Nishang Yuntian's disciples to achieve such results. However, the business is developing too fast, he is not well prepared, and he urgently needs a large meta-magnetic aggregate, so naturally he wants Su Aotian to be a coolie.

Su Aotian had nothing to do anyway, so he regarded it as a cultivator, so he naturally agreed. This time, it took him two months to completely overdraw his divine soul, and he felt dizzy before stopping, refining a collection of more than two hundred pieces, and it is estimated that it is more than enough to store the transaction information of the entire Central Region. After cultivating for a day, he came out of the customs, called Teng Yunqiang, and handed over the collection to him, Teng Yunqiang was already waiting for it, took the assembly, and left in a hurry.

Counting the days, it will be a little more than a year before the start of the elite conference, and it is time to make some preparations. On this day, Yuan Hengbo came to visit again, saying that he was busy cooperating with Duobao Pavilion a while ago, and he snubbed his son, and he really didn't want to go, so he asked for forgiveness, and then offered to accompany him to Zhongzhou Mansion to go around.

Su Aotian politely refused, remembering that Yuan Hengbo had said that they were in charge of the preparations for this conference and other matters, so he asked her about some information. Yuan Hengbo couldn't say it clearly for a while, so he gave him a piece of jade slip and asked him to take a good look at it himself. After talking for a while, seeing that Su Aotian had no intention of going out for a stroll, Yuan Hengbo took his leave.

Sending Yuan Hengbo away, Su Aotian took the jade slip over, immersed his divine sense in it, and began to examine it carefully. This jade slip noted all the matters of the elite conference, such as the rules of participation, competition rules, schedule, etc., and Su Aotian looked at it carefully.

The constitution of the elite assembly, in addition to what Duanmu Tingyu told him, still has many detailed regulations. First of all, the participants are not allowed to use any foreign objects, including blades, magic weapons, talismans, etc., and can only rely on their own cultivation and use their magical powers to compete with their opponents. Su Aotian thought that this would be fair, if he fought for resources, the famous sect would take advantage of it too much.

In addition, in order to provide opportunities for more contestants from different sects, each sect can only register a maximum of two participants in each category. This article is also extremely fair, otherwise, if a force like Chengtianmen sends ten or twenty people, the reward will not be taken by all of them, and the others will be more powerful.

There are also special requirements for the way to participate. Due to the large number of participants, it is divided into three parts: preliminary round, semi-final and official competition. The tournament adopts a knockout system, the first is the preliminary round, two people in a team, the loser is eliminated immediately, and the winner advances to the next round. In order to prevent those with high cultivation from going out prematurely, it is specially stipulated that those who are late in the cultivation of this level are not allowed to participate in the preliminary round. In other words, the preliminary round is a competition between the early and middle cultivators.

The extent to which the preliminary round will be conducted depends on the number of monks who have registered for the competition, and the rule is that the number of remaining monks is exactly nine times the number of monks who have cultivated in the later stage. Then draw lots according to the number of people and divide the groups, and each monk who has cultivated in the later stage enters a group for the semi-finals. A total of 120 contestants will be selected in the semi-finals, together with the eight predetermined direct selection places, a total of 128 contestants, to enter the final official competition.

If there are less than 120 groups in the semi-finals, and 120 people cannot be selected, then there will be another round of play-offs in the second place in each group, and if there are more than 120 groups, then there will also be a round of play-offs between the top winners of these groups until 120 people are decided.

The eight directly elected places scheduled were allocated to the top forces of the Chengtian Continent, with three places in Chengtian Prefecture, two places in White Tiger Prefecture and Vermilion Bird Prefecture, and only one place in Xuanwu Prefecture. This is also a protective measure, because the background of the top forces is indeed incomparable to other sects, and their disciples have obvious advantages in all aspects, in order to avoid them meeting in advance in the preliminaries, so there is such a rule. From the quota allocation, it can also be seen that the relationship between Chengtian Prefecture and Xuanwu Prefecture is really not very good.

This is not the first time that this elite conference has been held, the rules have been perfected, Su Aotian had only learned a rough idea from Duanmu Tingyu before, and now he completely understands it. Putting down the jade slip, he fell into deep thought. This rule obviously weakened the advantages of the big sects, and it was more beneficial for the small sects and scattered cultivators, but for him, it was a mixed blessing, and it was not good or bad.

The disciples of the great sects have an overwhelming advantage in the blades, magic weapons and talismans, the grade is higher, and the power is stronger, but they are not bad, the Heavenly Demon Qin cannot be used, but the measuring heaven ruler is not inferior to their divine weapon blade, at least in terms of solidity, Su Aotian even feels that it can be better.

He doesn't have a magic weapon, but his physical body is also comparable to a magic weapon, there is no problem with protection, in terms of attack, only with aura, Su Aotian believes that he will not lose to any Yuanying monk;

These rules limit all of their advantages. The advantage is that without magic weapons and talismans, he only relies on his own cultivation, he has obvious advantages, and he is only stronger than others. Without the help of powerful magic weapons, the disciples of those great sects could only have a more obvious gap in front of them. After all, these advantages of his own are all used to compete with the Void Cultivator, and there is no need to be so troublesome to deal with the Yuanying Cultivator!

However, for Murong Qiubai and the others, it was completely different. Compared with resources, they are at a disadvantage in an all-round way, and in terms of cultivation, they can barely support it. However, compared to the elite of the sect, there is still a clear gap, and although the rules have narrowed this gap as much as possible, they have no advantage at all.

Now that there is only a little more than a year before the start of the conference, although it is no longer possible to improve their cultivation in the short term, it is possible to mention a little bit, maybe this small progress can support them to take a step forward. As for the method, Su Aotian thought of the spirit crystals of the Nine Evil Qin Demons.

With the improvement of his cultivation, Su Aotian found that the effect of the spirit stone was no longer as significant as when he was in low-level cultivation, and this fact made him very depressed for a while. But the spirit crystal is different, the purity of the aura contained in it, for the improvement of cultivation, the effect is extraordinary, if it can be continuously supported, then it is no problem to advance the breakthrough time by thousands of years.

However, when the cultivation reaches the stage of transforming into a god, the breakthrough period is often 10,000 years, tens of thousands of years, and these thousands of years seem to be better than nothing, and the number of spirit crystals spent is extremely huge, and no one can do it with the cultivation supported by spirit crystals alone.
