After Zhao Di sent Jian Xin'er back to Iron Boat Peak, he immediately returned to the refining room.

He couldn't wait to put the Yi Jin Pill into Xiao Ding to cultivate, and then took out a high-grade water spirit stone and meditated.

Half a month later, relying on the powerful medicinal power of the top-grade Yijin Pill and the assistance of the high-grade Water Spirit Stone, Zhao Di successfully broke through the bottleneck of the eleventh layer of the Qi refining period and became a monk with a basic exercise method of reaching the twelfth layer.

Even among the disciples of the Taixu Sect and the Outer Sect, the monks of the twelfth layer can be ranked at the middle and upper level. Coupled with the fact that he was carrying several high-grade magic weapons, he believed that when he was not unlucky enough to meet a few senior brothers and sisters at the peak of the Qi refining period, he still had a great hope of getting a Zhuji Dan.

In particular, he found that his divine sense was actually very powerful. He could even make three high-grade magic weapons at the same time without the slightest rush, he didn't know if it was because he had had a complete memory and thinking ability from his previous life for more than twenty years since he was a child, or because he had taken a large number of Divine Cultivation Pills. Or maybe there are both reasons, and Zhao Di didn't go into much detail.

There are only more than three months left before the foundation building competition, and it is already unrealistic to think about preparing any secret tricks or improving cultivation. But Zhao Di is not the kind of person who presses the treasure in a grid at all, and a few more unique skills are always prepared and harmless.

In such a short period of time, what can be prepared, and the comparative test is very helpful, is undoubtedly the making of talismans. Moreover, Zhao Di did not plan to make high-level talismans in the Qi refining period, but continued to make a batch of mid-level talismans. Zhao Di felt more and more that things like talismans were too convenient to use during the fight, they were fast and did not consume too much spiritual power, and if several or even dozens of them were used at the same time, they were also very powerful. What's more, talismans are very common items, even if they are used dozens of surnames at a time, it will only make people feel that Zhao Di is too extravagant and wasteful, and it will definitely not be linked to other more complicated factors.

It can be said that the only drawback of the talisman is that it is a consumable, and it is of little significance to use a little less, and it is simply a waste of money to use too much! For ordinary monks, it is already very good to have several talismans on hand and play some role at critical moments. Like Zhao Di, who often took out dozens of talismans to smash people, I am afraid that there is no one before or since.

In order to keep a low profile as much as possible, Zhao Di's wishful thinking is to use magic tools to solve the competition as much as possible, and occasionally use some talismans. When it is not critical, do not show a large number of talismans to be scary, and even if it is a magic weapon, try to use only one or two pieces. In short, if you can pretend to be poor, try to pretend, and when there is really no way to win the competition, you can make a trick - make three high-grade magic weapons or throw a large number of talismans at the same time.

Two months before the foundation building competition, another trading conference was held on Guling Street. The size of the stores and the number of people attending this event were several times that of the previous ones. Obviously, many outer disciples who have not yet possessed a satisfactory magic weapon want to seize this last opportunity to exchange for a magic weapon in their hands to enhance their strength, and the winning rate in the foundation building competition will be a few points greater.

Therefore, at this time, the merchants on Guling Street will also do everything possible to get a batch of high-grade magic weapons, which will cause the coaxing of all outer disciples, and they can often sell them at a price a few points higher than usual, making a lot of money.

In addition to magic weapons, there are also some other items that are helpful for fighting spells, such as talismans. The mid-level talisman of the Qi refining period, which usually sells six or seven spirit stones, is now sold for one ** spirit stone. And the high-grade talisman in the Qi refining period has risen to forty to fifty spirit stones, and once it appears on the market, it will be immediately sold out.

Even the price of mid-rank spirit stones has increased! Usually, one mid-rank spirit stone is exchanged for one hundred and five low-rank spirit stones. But now, even if one hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones are used on Guling Street, it is difficult to exchange them for a medium-grade spirit stone.

This is because when the strength of the monks fighting the Dharma is similar to each other, and the magic weapons are also equal, it is easy to fall into a stalemate situation in which they compete with each other for spiritual power. If you can hold a medium-grade spirit stone instead of a low-level spirit stone at this time to replenish your spiritual power in time, the chances of winning will be much greater. Many monks who were usually reluctant to use mid-level spirit stones also had to prepare two or three pieces at this time. This caused a situation where mid-rank spirit stones were extremely scarce for a while.

There are also some items that do not rise but fall. One of them, such as the Cleansing Pill and the Yijin Pill, which gain cultivation and improve qualifications, is one of them. After all, it was already the last two months, and it was unrealistic to rely on a limited number of pills to raise the cultivation to a higher level. It is better to use the limited spirit stones to replace magic weapons and talismans with more direct effects.

Therefore, the Yijin Pills, which are usually invisible at all, have some outflows on the market at this time. And the pills that are not usually able to sell well and can replenish and restore a certain amount of spiritual power and physical strength in a short period of time are particularly sought-after.

This kind of elixir is usually not used at all, and it is not cheap, so few people buy it. And during the competition, the sales became very good. Because during the competition, you will not have the opportunity to adjust and recover your physical and spiritual strength by meditating and resting.

Zhao Di only took a cursory turn around Guling Street, and analyzed the reasons for these price changes.

He was not idle, first purchased a large amount of rune paper and dansha for making mid-level talismans in the Qi refining period in batches, and then also purchased a large number of various pills.

Especially the Yijin Pills, he bought as many as seven or eight pills one after another. This kind of unexpected huge gain made Zhao Di also pleasantly surprised.

After this trading meeting, the Taixu Gate was surprisingly calm for two months, not only was it rare to see a monk flying between the peaks, but even the exit of the entire Taixu Gate was rarely in and out.

Most of the outer disciples who are usually busy take a leave of absence during this time, meditate and prepare for competitions, or meditate and recuperate, or practice Dharma weapons. During this time, Taixumen seemed to be much quieter.

Zhao Di continued his "crazy" talisman making in the refining room. He was already handy with the intermediate runes, and in just one month, under his almost non-stop drawing, he had obtained a total of nearly two hundred intermediate runes, which was enough to cope with the competition.

This quiet scene before the war was completely shattered after the Taixumen Xiong Zhangmen announced the start of the registration lottery for the foundation building competition.

Soon, news came out that more than 1,800 qualified outer disciples signed up for this foundation building competition, which was basically the same as the previous sessions.

However, there are only more than 50 Tsukidans distributed in the Tsuki-based competition this time, which is more than 10 less than the previous one.

The senior management of the Taixu Sect explained that the number of Zhuji Dan refined this time was small, and the number of Zhuji Dan issued to the inner disciples had not decreased, so the number of places issued in the Zhuji competition could only be reduced. Xiong Zhangmen also explained that in the "Dragon Valley" task one year after the Zhuji competition, the Zhuji Dan rewards issued will not be reduced, and the disciples in the sect can actively participate.

The outer disciples complained about this greatly, but they were helpless. As for the "Dragon Descending Valley", it is an extremely dangerous forbidden place at all, not to mention getting some treasures in it to exchange for Zhuji Dan from the sect, judging from the previous situation, the monks who can come out of it alive are less than one-third of the total number of people who have entered the valley.

After the number of applicants and the number of Tsukidan to be distributed were determined, the plan for the competition was also introduced.

The rules are also very simple, draw lots and group groups, test the fighting method in a group of two people, and have a single bye. On the premise of not harming the opponent's surname, forcing the opponent to admit defeat and surrender, or driving the opponent out of the competition ring, or injuring the opponent and stuning the opponent so that he has no ability to resist, is counted as winning a round of competition. Then the next round will continue to draw lots and group groups and continue to compete.

In this way, after five rounds in a row, you can pass the Zhuji competition and get a Zhuji Dan rewarded by the sect.

If there is an injury that results in death during the competition, the person who injured the person will also be disqualified. If this happens in the final round, the Tsukidan that could have been awarded to the winner will be taken back by the sect and counted in the rewards of the "Dragon Descending Valley".
