Chapter 278: Competing for the Stream (Part II)

Shuzhou is one of the five major states of the Tianhua Dynasty, with many mountains and hills. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it has jurisdiction over ten counties, each county has jurisdiction over ten cities, a total of one hundred cities, Yunshan City is one of the hundred cities.

One hundred cities, one thousand places, how fierce the competition is, this is not evenly distributed to ten places in each city, but it needs to be obtained through a competition, and deaths and injuries occur from time to time to enter the competition list.

Some cities are outstanding and powerful, and a city-level martial arts hall occupies dozens of places, while some cities are more miserable, and there is not a single student on the competition list.

When a warrior in this kind of city goes out, he basically does not dare to reveal his identity and origin, otherwise it is easy to attract the ridicule of others.

For example, "Oh, it's the martial artists of that city, there is not a single student competing for the ranks, and there is no future" and so on. It was the lecturer of the Shangwutang in that city who went out with a disgraceful face and was named a misguided child.

Yunshan City did not fall into such a situation, but it was also ranked lower in Shuzhou, because there were only nine students in Shangwutang who entered the competition list, and they were all ranked low.

For example, Luo Tao, who had just been defeated by Xiao Tianming, was ranked 898th.

"Competing for the stream, setting up this competition list can indeed motivate martial artists to progress, but it also makes many martial artists unable to concentrate on cultivation, right?" Xiao Tianming was a little disapproving, Lei Hu once taught him the truth that it is easy to break the wind.

When the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and when it is piled up on the shore, the flow will be turbulent, and it will not be higher than the people. In short, jealousy, it's human nature.

"If it's just a thin name, then naturally there won't be so many people chasing after it, you can know that after entering the competition list, there are benefits provided by the imperial court. Long Xingkong said with a smile, he is also a member of the competition list, and his ranking is even higher than Luo Tao.

"For example, Luo Tao, a martial artist from the eight hundred and one to nine hundredth rank of the Competing Stream, can obtain two spirit stones for cultivation. ”

"What, it would actually provide spirit stones?" Xiao Tianming was shocked, a little incredulous.

The spirit stone is a product of the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is very wonderful and can accelerate the cultivation of martial artists. Moreover, the aura contained in the spirit stone is very stable, not as violent as the aura of heaven and earth, and it is faster than refining the Yuan Stream.

The preciousness of the spirit stone can be seen, the three major dynasties of the Heavenly Continent, the spirit stone is monopolized by the imperial court, if there is a private miner, will be punished by death.

The Tianhua Dynasty established the country by force and ruled the country by law, so it naturally attaches importance to martial arts, and the distribution of spirit stones is strictly law-abiding, and the list of competing for the current is a manifestation.

For all young people with outstanding talents, the imperial court will provide spirit stones for cultivation for free, and a large amount of silver will be distributed, but compared to spirit stones, the silver money is not worth mentioning.

Because the price of that spirit stone is far more than a hundred times that of silver money.

"The Shuzhou competition list is divided into ten levels, Luo Tao and I are both at the ninth level, and there are only two spirit stones and two hundred taels of silver that we receive every year. Long Xingkong shook his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his current status.

"Senior Brother Qi is amazing, now he is the sixth level of the competition list, ranking five hundred and twelfth, and he can receive five spirit stones and five hundred taels of silver every year. Long Xingkong said with a little envy.

"Senior Brother is ranked 486th, and he can receive six spirit stones and six hundred taels of silver, but he doesn't look down on these at all, so he asks Senior Brother Qi to help him collect them on his behalf every time, and then hand them over to the sect. ”

Xiao Tianming was silent, this is the gap in qualifications, if it is Yuan Jiang's qualifications, coupled with a set of powerful exercises, then the speed of refining the true yuan is much faster than absorbing the energy in the spirit stone.

Why bother to go near and far, lose the watermelon and pick sesame seeds?

This is the wealth given by God, born with a spiritual stone library, but I don't know whether Ember's qualifications are Yuanjiang or Yuanhai.

"How to get on the list?" Xiao Tianming broke the silence and said in a deep voice.

His eyes were filled with raging flames, although Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, but he was a mediocre talent not to be envied, in order to cultivate, it was nothing to be in the limelight, and martial arts cultivation has never been smooth.

Shi Qi and Long Xingkong were suddenly shocked by the temperament exuded from him, before Xiao Tianming was an extinct volcano without the slightest heat, then at this moment it was constantly erupting flames, burning the sky red.

"It's very simple, just find a martial artist on the competition list, challenge him, and then you apply to the Shangwu Hall of Yunshan City, and you can enter the competition list. Long Xingkong laughed, looking at Xiao Tianming's eyes flashing with a strange brilliance.

"Doesn't that mean that I can be on the list now?" Xiao Tianming glanced at the direction in which the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect had left, and said thoughtfully.

"That's right, if you defeat Luo Tao now and apply directly to the Shangwu Hall of Cloud City, then you can become the 898th place on the competition list, and then his ranking will be automatically cleared. Shi Qi smiled slightly and affirmed.

"At the end of this year, you will be able to receive two spirit stones and two hundred taels of silver from Shangwu Hall. Shi Qi paused, suddenly changed his tone, and said temptingly, "If you are not satisfied, you can challenge a higher-ranked martial artist again, so that you can get more spirit stones and silver taels." ”

Xiao Tianming listened to Shi Qi's words, as if he was instigating himself to challenge others, there were two people in front of him who were higher than Luo Tao in the Yunshan City competition list, Shi Qi and Long Xingkong.

Long Xingkong and Luo Tao both belong to the ninth level, and the spirit stones obtained by successfully challenging remain unchanged, which is not worth it for Xiao Tianming, who pays attention to practical interests.

The competition for the ranking of the list is very cruel, as long as the martial artists on the list fail, they will be removed, and if they want to be on the list again, they can only choose the people on the list to challenge.

Xiao Tianming doesn't do things that are not beneficial and will offend people.

Besides, the spirit stone was not so important to Xiao Tianming.

Just now, his Yuan He was promoted to Yuan Lake, and his qualifications suddenly increased by more than ten times, plus the bonus of the "Wuji Sutra", his Yuan Liu was gushing, enough for him to cultivate.

"Alright, the time is coming, let's go back quickly and join the feast. Shi Qi interrupted the topic.

The disciples of the Baiyun Sect immediately packed up their belongings, and Xiao Tianming was also holding the results he had just picked and was about to leave, when at this time, there was a sudden sound of "brushing, brushing, brushing" and moving.

The sound of bamboo leaves shaking!

Looking at the east side of Xiao Tianming's vegetable field, there is a bamboo forest there, with lush leaves, verdant and dripping, birds foraging for food from time to time, dark and quiet, it is a good place to relax and elegant.

Before, Heishui Zhenren also suggested that everyone dig bamboo shoots, but there was an extremely powerful aura inside, so Xiao Tianming didn't venture in.

At this moment, Xiao Tianming hesitated, just now, the feeling that the bamboo forest gave him changed, it was no longer so mysterious, as if something inside was calling him. (To be continued.) )
