With a feasible way to obtain the elixir of refining the Zhuji Dan, Zhang Yan secretly set a goal to strive for a good ranking in the sect competition, and it was best to enter the top three.

Therefore, after sending off the Tiger on Tuesday, Zhang Yan hurriedly returned to his residence to prepare for the competition.

The competition between the disciples of the sect is not only the level of cultivation, but also the net worth, often those disciples who are wealthy, in addition to being talented, the sect gives powerful magic weapons and supplies more spirit stones, almost all of them have experienced various adventures and adventures, finding treasures or elixirs, in exchange for the powerful magic weapons they need, so whether the magic weapons on their bodies are strong or not has become the key to victory or defeat.

This can also be regarded as a test of a disciple's adventures and fighting experience since he practiced, with good luck and rich adventure fighting methods, he can go further on the thorny road of cultivating immortals.

Now what Zhang Yan has to do is to refine a large number of attack talismans, his own cultivation is the wood attribute exercise, and the most powerful attack that is stimulated in his hand is the fire attribute talisman seal.

And among the runes, only the high-level runes like the Fire Spirit Runes have the most powerful destructive power in his hands.

Zhang Yan spent an afternoon refining more than twenty sheets, and these talismans, together with the spells and flying swords he practiced, were enough to deal with other fellow disciples.

There is no need to worry about the exposure of the talisman seal now, if the sect sees its own performance in the competition, it must directly make an exception to let itself enter the inner door, so it is strange that the disciple sect with outstanding talent in talisman making does not vigorously cultivate.

As for cultivation, it can only explain the reason for coexisting with the elixir in the elixir garden for a long time, as long as the alchemy and cultivation of the medicine are not detected, the sect should not be investigated to the end.

"But you still have to be cautious, there are always some thoughtful or ill-intentioned people in the sect......"

Zhang Yan frowned lightly thoughtfully, and muttered for a long time.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the beginning of the sect, Zhang Yan had not yet come out of the valley, and the tiger had already run first with great interest, and when he arrived at the front yard of the house, his hand was pinched instantly, and then a cold light flashed, and the fence of the yard and a few small trees nearby broke off.

"Hehe, junior brother, look at the power of this flying sword, senior brother?"

Tuesday Tiger stood triumphantly in the front yard and said to Zhang Yan, who had just come out of the house to see this scene.

"It's barely passable, this small sapling on the dry fence, if you touch it, it will break, Zhou Fatty, your flying sword is good. Zhang Yan looked at the mess in the yard and said helplessly.

Listening to Zhang Yan's joking words, Tuesday Hu's face suddenly shook, and the originally triumphant fat face seemed to be deflated, he put away the flying sword, pillowed the back of his head with both hands, and his fat body leaned on a broken wooden stake and a branch that drooped down and swayed, looking at the sky with two small eyes, frowning, and said: "Senior brother, you said that the cultivation of other junior disciples of the same sect has reached what point, and I don't know if we can break into the top fifty and enter the inner door." ”

"Wasn't you confident just now? But don't worry, try to treat it with a calm mind, and give full play to your strength. ”

After saying that, Zhang Yan went back to the house to pack up his things, but although he said so, he was extremely nervous in his heart.

Zhang Yan picked up the ancient umbrella that had been lying horizontally at the head of the bed, then found a long cloth to wrap it, and then used a rope to carry the umbrella behind his back before walking out of the house.

Zhang Yan and Tuesday Tiger walked all the way to the inner door, the two of them talked and laughed, especially Tuesday Tiger, the whole jumping person, the eyebrows flew and danced all day long, as if he had never seen anything that worried him.

However, from the subtleties between the conversations, Zhang Que can see that Tuesday Tiger seems to be a rough and rough man, but in fact, he is still very careful, every time he talks about Zhang Que's own secret issues, he can always slip past without mentioning it, which makes Zhang Que's heart moved and warm, this kind of feeling of trustworthiness and no greed between people makes Zhang Que enjoy it very much.

On the way to the inner gate, Zhang Yan saw that many outer disciples also came one after another, many people seemed to see Zhang Yan and the two for the first time, or some disciples recognized Zhang Yan as the outer disciple who threw hundreds of fire bomb talismans at one time in Luoshan City two years ago, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at them.

This is the first time he came to the inner gate, the inner door is much larger than the outer door, after walking through the long stone steps, he saw the pavilions and pavilions built densely on the mountainside of the main peak of the Northern Yuan Mountain, which are hidden in the clouds and mist, and the bottom of many pavilions is a huge square, and the square has already gathered the crowd of black pressure at this moment.

The crowd in the square was divided into two parts, one was the inner disciples, but the number was not large, there were only a hundred people, most of the cultivators were around the seventh layer of the qi refining period, and the outer disciples were on the side, but there were hundreds of people, but most of the cultivators were on the fifth layer of the qi refining period, and the high part was also the sixth and seventh layers of the qi refining period, and there were even disciples of the eighth layer of the qi refining period, but there were probably dozens of disciples who cultivated like this.

The two groups of people gathered on both sides, and they seemed to be lining up to sign up for the competition, and at the front of the crowd on both sides was the name of a student who recorded the competition.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Yan was shocked in his heart, and on Tuesday the tiger's heart sank to the bottom, he couldn't imagine that there would be so many inner disciples participating in the competition, and Tuesday Tiger himself also learned that the so-called inner disciples do not necessarily have to be at the seventh level of the Qi refining period to enter, some have just entered the sect, because of their talents, such as Yang Luo, they can directly become inner disciples, so there are many people who cultivate to the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, but I didn't expect that almost all of the people who came to participate in the competition today are actually the seventh layer of the Qi refining period, and there are hundreds of people.

"Hey, how come the outer disciples actually have the eighth layer of the Qi refining period?" Zhang Yan said to himself suspiciously.

"That's some hidden cultivators of the outer sect, usually only know how to bury their heads in penance, even if they cultivate to the qualification to enter the inner door, most of them will wait until the sect **** to appear, take advantage of this to show their brilliance in the competition, in this way, they get more attention from the elders, enter the inner door, and the resources allocated are much more than those who entered the inner gate earlier from the beginning. ”

Just when Zhang Yan and the two were puzzled, an indifferent and calm voice suddenly came from behind them.

When the two turned around, they already saw a little operator in a white shirt walking over with a folding fan.

"I've seen Senior Brother!" Zhang Yan and Zhou Erhu both saluted solemnly when they turned around and saw the little operator.

Not to mention that there are so many people nowadays, you can't lose etiquette, just take the fact that he saved the two of them at the beginning, and he deserves to be so respectful.

Zhang Yan also felt an uncomfortable aura from the little operator, how similar this breath was to the senior sister, that is, the little operator had broken through to the foundation building period.

"Two junior brothers, you don't come to that long-winded etiquette. The little operator frowned and said in a deep voice, but when he looked at the two of them carefully, he suddenly said lightly, "Tuesday Tiger, you actually have six layers of Qi refining period, I remember that you are also the same as Senior Brother Zhang, you are also a spirit root, I want to get a lot of Elder Hu's pills, but Senior Brother Zhang, why can't I see your specific cultivation?"

When Zhang Yan heard Xiao Operator's very sudden words, his heart moved, but he was very ashamed on the surface and said: "Senior brother, junior brother's qualifications are limited, even if he has been cultivating for the past few years, he is only at the fifth level of the Qi refining period now. ”

"Oh, that's weird. The little operator couldn't sense Zhang Yan's specific cultivation, and this strange thing that made him lose his last resort made him frown slightly, a little unnatural.

"Hehe, senior brother, senior brother, he usually works very hard, I don't take advantage of following Elder Hu's alchemy, so I have the cultivation of the sixth layer of the qi refining period. Tuesday Tiger took the opportunity to say at this time, but his expression was as usual.

"Well, you all go and sign up, or it'll be too late. The little operator didn't seem to want to say more, your original indifferent mood became gloomy, and after speaking, he frowned lightly and walked to the stands where many elders were sitting in the square.

And many of the core disciples and genius disciples of the inner gate in the stands are sitting in a row at this moment, and many of them have reached the foundation building stage, as for those elders who are all white-bearded cranes with childish faces, they sit quietly with their eyebrows lowered, and there is a position in the middle that is vacant, thinking that it should be the position of the door master.

As soon as the little operator left, the two of them lined up to sign up behind the outer disciples.

However, after a while, the registration was completed, and the name of the sect was not to sign up in advance, because there were too many disciples who usually did not want to show up.

It can be said that the elders of the Northern Yuan Sect manage the sect, and they are strict on the outside and loose on the inside, and it is better to cultivate those disciples with a sense of self-competition and strict self-discipline than strict supervision.

The rules of the sect competition are very simple, that is, the winner is determined directly by winning or losing, as long as he loses, he will be eliminated, and he will not be ranked until there are only fifty people left.

When the elders of the inner gate announced the start of the competition, the enthusiasm of the disciples of the inner and outer gates was instantly ignited, and they almost shouted excitedly, and the slightly calm disciples were also flushed, I don't know if it was due to nervousness or excitement.

Zhang Yan and Tuesday Tiger stood in the distance with a heavy heart, looking at the competition venue, where there were already disciples who had started the competition.

This is the third time that Zhang Yan has seen the fighting method between monks, the first time is the first time he met Xiao Operator to see the gambling fight between the two senior brothers in the outer gate, and the second time he encountered it was an amazing blow from the old man of the Namu family in Luoshan City, and now looking at the competition between the same sect in this Qi refining period, he feels that it has become monotonous and has no power, just like a child playing at home.

Some disciples are attacking back and forth with those few spells, and they either deviate from the spell, or the spell is sluggish, even if it falls on people, it can't do much damage, and those who can make flying swords tremble and tremble, and their speed and power are greatly reduced.

It seems that these disciples usually concentrate on improving their cultivation, and they have very little cultivation in spell attacks, let alone experience in adventurous fighting.

Just when Zhang Yan was secretly thinking, there was a sudden light shout from the crowd, and he saw that a tall figure had already stood on the stage, holding a flying sword in his hand, with a proud expression, who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Luo?

Zhang Yan could feel the strong cultivation faintly emanating from Yang Luo's body from a distance, and Zhang Yan could feel that if he faced Yang Luo, he would lose at most if he supported a few moves.

Just when Zhang Yan and Zhou Hu's attention was all focused on Yang Luo, a voice suddenly called for them from behind them.

"Two junior disciples, but the disciples of the outer sect, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Zhou?"

The person who spoke was a young man in a dark robe, his expression was indifferent, and there was a faint displeasure between his eyebrows.

"I don't know what happened to this senior brother?" asked Zhang Yan suspiciously.

"The fifth senior brother of the inner gate has invited two. The young man said indifferently.

Zhang Yan was shocked, but he didn't refuse in person, thinking of the fifth senior brother with a majestic face and powerful eyes, his heart was a little awe-inspiring, but he thought that this was the inner door, and the other party didn't dare to do anything.

The two of them could only give up watching the competition first, and reluctantly followed the young man in front of them around the square, and came to a large hall in all directions, and the fifth senior brother from the inner gate was already waiting there.

The fifth senior brother wearing a green shirt, saw the two of them coming, the eyes that were not angry and self-righteous swept over Zhang Yan, and sighed lightly, but when he saw the tiger on Tuesday, the cold light flashed, without saying a word, he pinched the trick in his hand, and the next moment, a palm-sized wind blade struck quickly, and after the tiger experienced the incident of the falling mountain city, now the reaction has become rapid I don't know how to do it, and suddenly cast a wall of ice to block the wind blade, but the fifth senior brother did not stop, standing into a knife, and quickly slashed towards the tiger on the second day, with a faint cyan spiritual power flashing on the palm。

"Bang!"

Tuesday, the tiger was chopped dozens of steps away, hit a large tree trunk, his face turned red, and he spat out a small mouthful of blood.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yan was caught off guard by the sudden change in front of him.

"It's nothing, teach you two a lesson, see how fast your cultivation grows, and I can't even see your cultivation, it's strange, come down and try how your cultivation is." ”

The five senior brothers didn't allow Zhang Que to think too much, and after speaking, another spell fell, and then he clenched his palms into a fist and suddenly attacked Zhang Que.

At this time, Zhang Yan was shocked and angry, he didn't understand what was going on in front of him at the moment, this senior brother from the inner door came up and injured the Tiger on Tuesday, which already made him angry, and then he was going to do it to himself, he didn't want to be bullied like back then.

Seeing that the spell and fist were about to fall on his body, Zhang Yan's right fist condensed, and all the mana in his body instantly condensed on his right fist, and the aura around his body suddenly rioted, faintly surrounding him.

Soul Gathering!

The surrounding disciples and the Zhou Tiger sitting on the ground were all shocked, and from the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations on Zhang Yan's body, they felt as if they were facing a foundation building stage cultivator.

And the fifth senior brother of the inner gate had a shocked look on his face, the other party's spell was obviously just a low-grade intermediate spell, how could it be more powerful than his own low-grade high-grade spell, could it be that the other party's cultivation was even higher than his own?

As soon as the five senior brothers thought for a moment, the fists of the two had already touched together.

"Boom!"

After the two spiritual powers collided, it was the fifth senior brother of the inner gate who was directly repulsed, and the whole person staggered back for more than a dozen steps before he barely stopped, his face was pale for a while, and then he looked at Zhang Yan with a gloomy face, and said: "Senior brother is really hiding deep enough, I think that my cultivation is not much different from me, and the spell that was originally just a low-grade intermediate level was actually cultivated so powerful by you." ”

Zhang Yan ignored the other party, at this moment he was already in a cold sweat behind his back, just now he used the spirit gathering technique to resist the other party, but his body was slashed by the other party's wind blade, his clothes were broken, and there were faint blood spots on his chest, if it weren't for the strong aura around his body, resisting most of the power, he might have been seriously injured.

The other party's cultivation has reached at least the ninth layer of the Qi refining period, and he has not yet cast the flying sword, so if it is a real life and death fight, Zhang Yan asked himself if he has a chance of winning.

Zhang Yan turned around and secretly took a healing pill, came to the side of the Tiger on Tuesday, and after making sure that the Tiger on Tuesday was only slightly injured, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "I think Senior Brother Fifth asked us two little outer disciples to come, wouldn't he just want to teach us a lesson?"

"Hmph, I don't have that leisure yet, it's the doorman who wants to see you, come with me. The fifth senior brother obviously remembered the main purpose of this trip, although his face was gloomy as water, but he didn't feel embarrassed anymore, after all, what the door master ordered could not be delayed.

"The door wants to see us?" Zhang Yan frowned, and glanced at Zhou Hu suspiciously, unable to figure out why the door master wanted to meet the two of them who were inconspicuous outer disciples.

Zhang Yan only hesitated for a while, and then he and Erhu followed the fifth senior brother of the inner gate and walked towards the depths of the many halls of the inner gate.
