The early summer in Zhao was warm and humid, and the streets that had just fallen a light rain were filled with a fresh smell, but at this time the streets were empty, and there were not many pedestrians in sight.

At the same time, in a valley near the Tongtian River south of the capital of Zhao State, there was a sea of people gathered, all of whom had rushed from the capital to watch the North-South Miscellaneous Studies.

The faces of the common people were filled with excitement and excitement, they had been suppressed for too long under the crisis of the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, and they urgently needed such a grand event to release their nervous emotions, and at the same time to witness the hope of the human monks rising against the Heavenly Demons - all kinds of miscellaneous competitions were a kind of display!

Zhang Di was dressed in a short green coat at this time, with a sallow complexion disguised as Yi Rongdan on his face, and two beards, completely looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.

He stood quietly in the corner of the arena of the Linggu Competition, listening to the enthusiastic jubilation of the surrounding audience, but there was an indescribable sentimentality in his heart.

Just five years ago, he was just an ordinary peasant boy, still looking forward to the time when he would be able to get rid of his frail health and become a teenager as healthy as the other children in the village, helping his father to make a living.

But who knows, five years have passed, but his fate has changed dramatically, and now he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and has become an immortal master in the late stage of qi refining, and is standing here preparing to participate in the Spirit Valley Competition, and he is shouldering the heavy responsibility of breaking into the Heavenly Demon Society and breaking the conspiracy of the Heavenly Demon.

He raised his head suddenly, his gaze slowly swept over the dense audience on the high platform around him, and the excited and excited faces were so unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but say silently in his heart: "Father." Mother, second uncle. Did you see it? The child participated in the Spirit Valley Contest today! With so many spectators witnessing, the child is finally no longer weak. The child will definitely raise his eyebrows and win glory for you!"

The wind of the valley blew through his hair and shirt gently, and at this moment, his heart was so excited, his eyes were so shining, and his body was so straight.

Although there is no testimony from his parents and relatives, in Zhang Di's heart, all his performance today will definitely be perceived by his parents and relatives. Certain!

At this time, as the melodious bell rang, a monk in charge of presiding over the game flew into the air, and the audience was silent all of a sudden.

The foundation building monk looked around, and suddenly a loud voice spread throughout the audience: "The first North-South Miscellaneous Studies Competition, start now!"

With a bang, the audience immediately erupted in warm applause.

In the area divided into many places in the valley, immediately a person in charge flew to the field and began to loudly announce the rules of the game.

The flat land where Zhang Di is located is all Group D players who participated in the Linggu Competition. A principal announced loudly: "There are more than 18,500 people participating in the preliminary round of the Linggu Competition, divided into 72 groups such as A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji Gengxin, etc., this group is Group D, and the top 30 can enter the semi-finals. ”

As soon as the principal said this, he said. Immediately caused a lot of commotion among the players present, everyone did not expect that the preliminary round was so intense, and there were more than 200 players in Group D. But only the top 30 can enter the semi-finals, doesn't it mean that the vast majority of people here will be eliminated?

For a while, all the players watched left and right. I want to see what kind of players are around me and where I stand among them. Look for some psychological comfort.

I saw that most of the players around were casual cultivators, there were dozens of years old prime-aged body cultivators, and there were also some scattered cultivators who were old but immortal cultivators; in addition, there were hundreds of sect disciples, they came from different sects in the north and south, and they stood there in their own circles one by one, their expressions were relatively arrogant, because in their eyes, other scattered cultivators were not worth mentioning, and they would not be comparable to the sect disciples at all, just a foil.

Zhang Di didn't look around left and right like everyone else, he was confident that his strength would definitely enter the semifinals, what he had to do at this time was to act in a low-key and cautious manner, and not to show his strength too much, so as not to attract the attention of others early.

He just stood there, his eyes drooping slightly, but his divine thoughts quietly shrouded the surroundings, so as not to have the plot of the Heavenly Demon Society, after all, this miscellaneous competition is a hidden crisis, although it is unlikely that the preliminary competition will be dangerous, look at the more than a dozen sect guards arranged around, the security work is also quite strict, but it cannot be ruled out that it is absolutely possible.

At this time, the person in charge continued to announce the rules: "The preliminary round project - cultivating one to three grade spiritual fields, limited to one day, can complete the three steps of hoeing, sowing and watering in three points, enter the semi-finals!"

The thirty semi-finals places will be selected from the third-grade Lingtian first, and the insufficient will be supplemented from the second-grade Lingtian, and then from the first-grade again, please do what you can, don't exceed your own strength to choose a high-level Lingtian, so as not to affect your own level of performance!"

With a bang, the contestants were shocked, and they all secretly said in their hearts: "There is actually a three-grade spiritual field! God, if someone can plant the three-grade spiritual field, then what kind of strength will I have!"

Only a very small number of people nodded secretly, they were all seed players with unique skills, representing different sects and families, and they felt that this was the kind of thing that was arranged for the conference to be planted in the Sanpin Lingtian, and it was relatively classy.

Zhang Di also nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "I'll see how many people choose Sanpin Lingtian later, I'm not in a hurry to choose, if few people choose Sanpin, I don't need to be in the limelight." ”

"I announce, the preliminary round of Group D, start now!" With the order of the person in charge, the gong sounded, and the game finally began.

The players were a little hesitant, after all, they didn't know how others chose, and they looked left and right, wanting to see everyone's choice.

Those sect disciples and the children of the family were the first to make a decision, they each gathered together, summed up a little, glanced contemptuously at these scattered cultivators who were still hesitating, and then divided into small groups and walked towards the arena in front of them, most of them chose the first-grade Lingtian, only a few went to the second-grade Lingtian, and only two people walked over to the third-grade Lingtian.

The two of them were dressed in white and black, both of them were not in their early twenties, and they represented the two sects of the Southern Sect respectively, but no one recognized what sect they were.

Zhang Di saw the two of them, but his eyes lit up, and he said secretly: "It turned out to be the two inconspicuous Linggu planting sects of the Southern Sect, the Min Yue Sect and the Xiaoshan Sect, I heard that the two families have some unique planting techniques, but I didn't expect the disciples to dare to choose the Sanpin Lingtian, it seems that there are really some doorways!"

It turned out that he had obtained detailed information from the Hongli Business Alliance before, and he had a detailed understanding of the Southern sect sects participating in this competition.

For the Southern Sect, it is also divided into one, two, and three scales, the largest ones are the Lingxiao Sect and the Demon Demon Sect, which are both huge sects of the first class in the Tianyuan Dynasty, but this time they disdained to participate in the competition, and only sent out the families under the sect, that is, the Jin family attached to the Lingxiao Sect and the Luan family attached to the Demon Demon Sect.

As for the other sect that is also huge, it is the Vajra Gate, which is a sect that cultivates Buddhism, and it seems that it is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it does not send any disciples to participate.

In addition to these three major southern sects, it is the second rate and the mainstream sect of the southern sect this time, namely the Maoshan faction, Longhu Mountain and Qingluan Mountain of the Sanshan Fu faction.

The third-rate sects are the Min Yue Sect and the Xiaoshan Sect, I heard that the two families are adjacent to each other, and the disciples are only thousands, so they should have more exchanges on weekdays, so they are more familiar with each other.

I saw the young man in white and the young man in black hugging each other, and the young man in white said, "Brother Xiao, please!"

The black-clothed young man smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao, don't be polite, let's go together!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, each flicked his wrist, had an extra spirit hoe in his hand, and walked towards the Sanpin Lingtian.

Zhang Di watched from afar, his eyes flashed, and he nodded secretly: "One of these two people is a ninth-level qi refiner, and they are actually equal in strength to me, which is a bit interesting!"

Although these two people also used means such as the breath technique to suppress their breath, and only showed the appearance of the sixth layer of qi refining, how could they hide Zhang Di, who used the qi viewing technique, naturally saw through the cultivation of the two at a glance, and suddenly had the idea of competing in their hearts.

As soon as the scattered cultivators saw that the disciples of the sect had made a choice, they were determined in their hearts, it seemed that there were only a few who dared to choose the second-grade and third-grade spiritual field planting, and it didn't reach thirty people, as long as their first-grade spiritual field cultivation played a normal level, maybe there would be a chance to enter the semi-finals!

So everyone coaxed, and flocked to the first-grade Lingtian, about dozens of people relied on their own abilities and walked to the second-grade Lingtian, and another white-bearded old man looked a little confused, and actually carried a hoe trembling to the Sanpin Lingtian, causing the surrounding audience to laugh.

"Hmm, that person is ......" Zhang Di glanced at the old man with his Qi Hope Technique, but he didn't even see any realm, it looked like he was just an ordinary body refiner at the third or fourth level of body refining.

"Strange! This man is not a master, but a bad old man who lives a confused life. Zhang Di muttered secretly.

In order to get closer to observe, Zhang Di simply chose to go to the second-grade spiritual field near the third-grade spiritual field, and found a place not far from the three of them, and just rolled up his sleeves and prepared to plow the field!

Suddenly, a shirtless man came over and shouted at him: "Get out of the way, boy!

Zhang Di turned his head to look and saw that this person was Lu Fei, a disciple of the Wind and Fire God Sect who had met twice with him in Zhongnan Gufang City.

This person is arrogant and arrogant, and he collided with Zhang Di twice, but he didn't expect that his cultivation had risen a little more when he met this time, and his body was surrounded by the breath of wind and fire, as if he was already a monk of the eighth layer of qi refining.

"Hmm, it's actually this person?" Zhang Di looked him up and down, secretly surprised: "I met three times, one cultivation was higher than the other, the first two times were just body refiners, but I didn't expect this time to become a monk, it seems that this person is also quite a bit of a door!"
