Lao Mai only looked up at the dozens of ever-bright lamps of different heights hanging from the dome, and those lights illuminated the entire mountainside as bright as day, without a single shadow.

Mu Qingzi explained: "There was a lamp oil here hundreds of years ago, and it is said that the predecessors dived into the deep sea and killed several black-scaled sharks to boil it into ointment, which is said to be able to burn for thousands of years. ”

When Lao Mai heard such an anecdote, he was deeply incredulous.

Mu Qingzi pointed to the stands carved out of the stone wall under him and said: "The history of these five stands where our sects are located is not long, and it is less than a hundred years. ”

Lao Mai suddenly asked, "Is there really only one of the five major sects in the Middle Earth Cultivation Realm?"

Mu Qingzi said with a smile: "For more than a hundred years, it is our five major sects that have become famous in the world, and there are still some cultivation families in the hidden world, all of which are unknown in Yunshen, and there are also some scattered cultivators, and I don't know where to go." ”

At this time, Teng Jidao, the Huayuan sect master who was the leader of the alliance in this decade, began to speak, although the stands where the various sects were located were not close to each other, but his words were sent out with true yuan power, and the people of the five sects in the stands listened very clearly.

The Five Sects Alliance is a loose alliance, the director of the alliance is held every ten years, and it takes turns in the order of east, west, south, north and middle, which is not binding, and can generally play the role of a convener and host, so no one will rob this hard labor, and the emperor will take turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year.

Lao Mai heard the meaning of Teng Daodao's words, which was to designate who would announce the name of the medicine, who would make the record, and reiterate the third-party ruling, etc., as soon as he finished speaking, Teng Jidao sat back.

Lao Mai is new, he is not familiar with all these procedures, and he is all at the disposal of Mu Qingzi, Mu Qingzi just sits down, let Lao Mai press the formation, and prepare to send people to compete for all kinds of medicinal materials that he needs.

I saw that on the stand of the Immortal Dao Sect, a middle-aged man in the early stage of foundation building stood out, holding a hand-folded book, opening it and reading the names and quantities of several medicinal materials, and then retreated, he was the person designated as the name of the medicine.

On the other side, Hua Yuanzong grew up and raised an elderly man, who was about to touch the top of the foundation building stage, and reported that he needed a few of those medicinal materials, which actually accounted for most of the number of medicinal materials that Fang had just recited.

A middle-aged Taoist from the Immortal Sect also stood up, who was also the top cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and also said that he needed these medicinal materials, and more than half of them were reported.

Then there was silence, and no other sects spoke, and only these two families were competing for the number of reports on the scene.

Then, the Immortal Dao Sect stood up as a third-party adjudicator, and asked the two of them to send people to the two fighting platforms in the field, and the competition decided the ownership of medicinal materials.

Mu Qingzi said to Lao Mai: "This is the main medicine of Gubendan, we don't need it for the time being, so we won't participate in the competition, they are all urgently needed, after all, the number of medicinal materials is limited, everyone will let go." ”

Lao Mai nodded, did not speak, and kept his eyes fixed on the two mid-stage gatekeepers who walked onto the fighting platform.

The two of them went up to their respective fighting platforms and sat cross-legged, only to see the middle-aged Taoist of the Immortal Sect clasping his fists and saying, "Poor Dao respects the elderly, Taoist friends please first." ”

The old man in Hua Yuanzong's traditional dress nodded silently, took out a piece of yellow-mounted rune paper from his arms, the rune on it actually flashed with fire, and with a wave of his hand, the rune paper floated into the air and turned into a huge fireball, it turned out that he was a fire attribute cultivator.

The Taoist of the Immortal Sect pinched out the magic trick, raised his hand and summoned a burst of rain and mist, and surrounded the fireball in the air, this person was actually a water attribute cultivator.

As the saying goes, clouds, water and fire are incompatible, the fireball of the old man of the Huayuan Sect and the rain and mist of the Daoist of the Immortal Sect quickly met, and a large amount of white mist dispersed for a while, which was the water vapor burned by the fireball.

For a while, the people of the five surrounding stands were all stretching their necks to watch the first game.

The huge fireball turned into a fire talisman cast by the old man of the Huayuan Sect, and was trapped by the increasingly thick rain and mist of the Immortal Sect Daoist, unable to move forward, so he pinched the magic trick and urged the fireball to press forward.

The rain mist attracted by the Immortal Sect Daoist was burned into a white mist that was even thicker, but the concentration of the rain mist that blocked the fireball did not decrease in the slightest.

Obviously, the two sides are evenly matched, and they are already deadlocked, but they see that the white fog is spreading more and more, and the white is foggy, almost spreading to the fighting platforms of the two sides, the rain and fog in the air are gradually invisible, and even the light of the fireball has become faint.

The sect masters of several stands looked at each other from a distance, so Ling Zizi, the sect master of the Immortal Dao as a third party, said: "The battle is evenly matched, so let's count it as a tie." ”

Mu Qingzi, the Jinshi Sect Master, who was also a third party, also spoke out at the right time: "Well, it can only be a tie. ”

The two sides who were urging the True Yuan Force to compete heard the arbitration of the third party, so they slowly withdrew their mana, and the huge fireball returned to the old man of the Huayuan Sect, turning back into a yellow rune paper, but it was just a little dimer, and the rain and mist attracted by the Daoist of the Immortal Sect gradually disappeared.

Lao Mai watched this first fight, and couldn't help but understand a little, the two fighting platforms that were far apart showed that the fight was mana cultivation, no hand-to-hand combat, and no worries about life, which was similar to measuring the opponent's cultivation.

The next few fights are more like a battle for cultivation mana, and the sect that always has a large demand for certain medicinal materials wins, and the other party only sends a weak disciple to deal with it a few times, and then admits defeat and retreats.

The venue of the fighting festival is a hollowed-out mountain, the dome is still a mountain, there is no skylight, only the dozens of hanging lanterns illuminate day and night, Lao Mai did not bring a watch in, he watched the competition for a long time, and he didn't know how much time was over.

Although several fights are biased, some aggressive men always drag their fighting methods for a long time like a tug-of-war.

In addition to the old Dao himself, the three disciples and the newly promoted Fang Zhonghua and other three early disciples of the foundation building have all been in battle, and they have made it clear that they are bound to win, and they have also won the share of medicinal materials needed to refine various pills.

The five major sects are located in different regions, the cultivation history and cultivation orientation are also different, the family background is even more different, and the emphasis on the medicinal materials required is different.

As a result, the seemingly polite fighting will be a field competition, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of rounds will pass, and the time spent seems to have passed as long as a day and a night.

After Liu Zhongming of the Jinshi Sect and the Immortal Dao Sect, who were also disciples in the middle stage of the early Jin Dynasty and the middle stage of the foundation building, fought to a tie and divided those medicinal materials equally, it seemed that it was time for the middle plate to rest.

The Taoist who reported the name of the medicine did not immediately stand up and announce what the next medicine would be and the quantity, but everyone seemed to be silent.

On the side of Jin Shizong, Mu Qingzi pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Senior brother, look, the drama of this fighting festival is finally here." ”

What Lao Mai knows is that the wood medicinal materials are affected by the deterioration of the environment, the yield rate is very low, and each sect has a lot of demand, and the competition for this item will inevitably become more intense, and it will not be as polite as swallowing water.

In fact, everyone is very polite to each other, but also for the last urgently needed medicinal materials, hoping that when the time comes, they can give each other up, don't fight for life and death, and each can have a relatively satisfactory harvest.

If you accidentally offend someone in the front, it doesn't matter if the opponent is slightly weaker, if the strength is a little stronger, and you will retaliate back later, it will be a little more than worth the loss.

In other words, taking a sip of medicinal materials that are not very needed is also to accumulate some favors for the next step.

For so many years, all sects have done this, Mu Qingzi explained to Lao Mai, and Lao Mai understood what was going on with the family-style competition on the fighting table just now.

However, he still had to ask: "In the end, are they all competing for the main medicine of the wood system Juyuan Dan?"

"More than that," Mu Qingzi, who was not present and did not solve the mystery, suddenly said, "In addition to the main medicine of the wood system Juyuan Dan, there is also the main medicine of the pill, which is no less important than the Zhuji Dan, that is, the main medicine of the Piercing Cloud Pill." ”

The name Piercing Yundan, Lao Mai Xian heard it for the first time, and he had never heard Mu Qingzi mention it before.

Mu Qingzi Old God continued on the ground: "That is an elixir that helps break through the bottleneck of cultivation, and the main medicine is a medicinal material in the five-year growth period, which is not only helpful for breaking through the innate advanced foundation building, but also for the advancement of several realms in the foundation building period. ”

Lao Mai nodded silently, and then asked, "So, Senior Brother in Charge, what are we going to do with these wood-based Juyuan Dan and Chuanyun Dan main medicines?"

Mu Qingzi said: "Let's wait until the number is reported." ”

While chatting with Lao Mai, this old Taoist was also discussing something with the other four sect heads.

After a while, I saw that Teng Jidao, the Huayuan Sect Master, who was the leader of this alliance, personally stood up and announced the number of main medicines of each flavor of the Wood System Juyuan Dan, and after a few words, he stepped back and sat down.

Mu Qingzi pondered for a while, and then said to Lao Mai: "Senior brother, the last few rounds are all up to you, I really need the Wood Gathering Yuan Pill, let's strive for half of the main medicinal materials, at least one third of the amount." ”

Lao Mai had seen the cultivation of the sect masters at the Kunming Spoils Sharing Conference, and at that time, he was a half-step foundation building Great Perfection realm, and under the current situation that there were no Jindan stage cultivators in the cultivation realm, Lao Mai, who already had a half-step Jindan cultivation, was obviously invincible.

If other sects have masters of half-step Jindan cultivation with partial attributes, as a pure attribute, he will inevitably be superior to his peers according to Mu Qingzi's words, even if the other party has an old monster with pure attribute half-step Jindan, Lao Mai will also win as an awakened inheritor.

Mu Qingzi reminded him: "Senior brother, be careful when you go up, you don't have enough experience in fighting methods, so be careful that they have a hidden old monster to make a move." ”

Lao Mai nodded, slowly stood up and raised his hand, and said in a loud voice: "I, Jinshi Sect, participate in the competition, and I want half of the quantity." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other sects at the scene of the Dou Fa were in an uproar, and they exchanged their heads and talked about each other.

In the past hundred years, the five major sects of the Middle Earth Cultivation Realm have been fighting here, competing for the last few rare main medicines, and no one has ever dared to ask for half of the amount, at most no more than a quarter of the amount.

If anyone dares to put forward an excessive amount, they will inevitably be besieged by the other four sects, and it will be good to use the wheel war to exhaust your mana, and finally let you get a little bit.
