Chapter 241: Test your skills
The Ministry of Water has jurisdiction over three academies, namely, the Academy of Confucian Studies, the Academy of Sword Discourse, and the Academy of Tibetan Scriptures.
The School of Confucian Studies is responsible for discussing Confucian classics and methods, teaching and educating people. The Sword Forum is responsible for various competitions and competitions within the sect, and the Sword Forum and Sword Forum have always been under the management of the Sword Academy.
The Qingyun Dharma Conference is held once every sixty years. It is a competition between the Qingyun Sect and the thirty-six sects to recruit disciples. It is very important.
The practitioners of the Sword Lun Academy have begun preparing for this competition several years in advance.
Selling tickets to watch matches to external parties is also a tradition formed over the years and is a good opportunity for the Sword Academy to make money.
Most of the competitions in Qingyun Sect are internal competitions. No matter how fierce and lively they are, they cannot be open to the outside world.
Sword Lun Yuan will certainly seize such an opportunity to make money.
They divided several areas around the sword testing platform, and the prices charged for each area were different.
Directly south of the sword testing platform, they built a viewing platform, which was higher than the sword testing platform, so that they could watch the battle from a high position.
Except for the most important central location, all other locations are for sale. The lowest entry price for a high platform that can accommodate 2,000 people is 500 spirit stones.
Although Qingyun City is rich, there are not many people who can spend hundreds of spirit stones to watch the excitement.
The people sitting on the high platform were almost all cultivators from various sects who participated in the war, as well as their relatives and friends.
Although Yun Qiushui is Yun Qingxuan's younger brother, he still has to pay to watch the show.
Yun Qiushui threw a high-grade spirit stone and bought two of the best central viewing positions.
Although Gao Xian thinks he is rich, he feels a little ashamed now. Compared to Yun Qiushui, he is really a poor man!
"Sword Lun Yuan is my sister's subordinate, and I can be regarded as a person." Yun Qiushui explained in a redundant manner, "I usually don't have such luxury."
“Brother Yun has always been simple, I'm sure of that.” Gao Xian said with a smile.
In fact, although Yun Qiushui is particular about things, he is particular about it himself and does not require others to be particular about it.
For example, when Yun Qiushui was a guest at his home, he would never complain that the tea was not good or that the maid was ugly... This is very good.
Yun Qiushui was also laughed at by Gao Xian. He had made so many friends, but no one dared to make fun of him.
Gao Xian is different from others. He really regards him as a friend and gets along with him quite casually. This kind of randomness is exactly what Yun Qiushui likes. He hates other people's deliberate flattery, but this kind of flattery is extremely boring.
Li Feihuang, who was staring at Gao Xian fiercely from the side, felt a little uncomfortable.
Gao Xian must have sensed her gaze because of his keen perception, but he kept chatting and joking with Yun Qiushui without any intention of responding to her.
Compared with various reactions such as disdain and ridicule, cold and violent ignorance makes people more angry and uncomfortable.
Just when Li Feihuang was angry, he saw Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao approaching Yun Qiushui, and they were polite to each other again.
Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao are both born spiritual beings, and Li Feihuang has always regarded these two as strong enemies.
Regrettably, these two people didn't seem to care much about her, which made Li Feihuang feel even more aggrieved.
Li Feihuang also drew a circle around these two people in her heart, and she would let these two guys know how powerful she was as soon as they met on the sword discussion stage.
“You don't need to pay attention to them.”
Li Chengfeng saw Li Feihuang's gloomy look and his bright eyes that were even more angry. He knew that this junior felt that he was being looked down upon and had resentment towards Gao Xian and the others.
He said: "I heard that Li Qingfeng of the Xuanyuan Sect is good at flying swords and is extremely powerful. Luo Xiujun of the Guiyuan Sect is good at the Five Elements Magic and is very superb. Although these two are not born spiritual beings, they have their own talents and they must not be underestimated. …”
For Li Feihuang, Li Chengfeng found many friends to inquire about the information, and got a general idea of the talented masters who participated in the ceremony.
It is better to make some preparations in advance than no preparations at all.
For example, if you know that Li Qingfeng is good at flying swords, you can formulate countermeasures in advance.
Li Feihuang remained silent. She didn't think there was anything to discuss.
Li Chengfeng sighed, "The Li family of Xuanyuanzong is from the same family as our Li family, but they separated two thousand years ago. Now, there is no longer any connection, just like strangers..."
At the beginning, the ancestor of the Li family was the True Monarch of Yuanying, the most powerful person in the Qingyun Sect, and left behind a huge family.
The ancestor passed away, and the former first family was naturally squeezed out. The various branches of the Li family left Qingyun Sect and spread their branches everywhere.
Li Chengfeng pointed to a middle-aged man sitting in the middle and said: "This Li Ye is the head of the Sword Academy and is responsible for presiding over this Dharma assembly. He is a direct descendant of our Li family and condenses it with the "Qingfeng Sword Sutra". The Alchemy Pill and the Qingfeng Sword left by the ancestor are all in his hands.
“With him here, for the sake of the Li family's bloodline, he will always take care of you.”
Li Feihuang said impatiently: "What's the use? It all depends on your ability on the sword discussion stage!"
She then felt that her tone was not very good, so she explained: "Grandmaster, for some reason, I feel restless when I see Gao Xian."
“Gaoxian's flame bombs, ice arrows, and Qingfeng swordsmanship are all very strong, but after all, he comes from a bad background and lacks foundation. You have the third-level red phoenix sky-winged sword, which fits your spirit body. Gao Xian is definitely no match for you!”
Li Chengfeng comforted him softly. After all, Li Feihuang was only in his twenties and had too little experience in life to control his emotions.
The Qingyun Dharma Assembly was too important. She was under tremendous pressure and worried about gains and losses, so she became a little abnormal.
Li Chengfeng turned his eyes and saw two beauties in black arriving in front of Gao Xian. They greeted each other politely and looked quite familiar with each other.
One of the women in black is beautiful and charming, and she is a real Jin Dan.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Not long after Gao Xiancai came to Qingyun City, he had already hooked up with Qingyun Sect Jindan?
I think it was Yun Qiushui who was the matchmaker, running around for Gao Xian!
Li Chengfeng was a bit far away, and it was difficult to use his spiritual sense to spy on him. Naturally, he didn't know what Shui Yuying and Gao Xian were talking about.
Both sides talked and laughed, but their words were all hidden swords.
“Xiao Gao, I've placed ten low-grade spiritual stones on you. I'm betting on you to win the championship. Don't let me down…”
Shui Yuying said with a smile.
Gao Xian has been involved in the workplace a lot, and is very experienced in this kind of yin and yang. He said with admiration: "Master Shui has a good sense, I admire him."
Shui Yuying originally wanted to tease Gao Xian, but Gao Xian's words were neither negative nor positive, so she didn't know what to say.
She snorted softly and said, "I'm here to watch you win the championship, don't let me down." Shui Yuying fluttered her sleeves and walked away, and Yin Lihua followed her silently.
Back at her seat, Shui Yuying said to Yin Lihua: "I have a Five Evil Soul Burning Pill here, which uses the five elements of evil energy to stimulate the soul to burn mana, which can double your consciousness and mana in a short period of time.
“Although the foundation will be damaged, it only takes a year and a half to take good care of it afterwards.”
Yin Lihua said nothing. The better the effect of this elixir, the greater the harm. She didn't want to risk her life just for a moment's pleasure.
With Gao Xian's ability, it would be difficult for her to win even after taking the Five Soul Burning Pills. What's more, Qingyun Fahui has many powerful enemies.
Even if Gao Xian was defeated by luck, how should we deal with powerful enemies such as Zhang Zhengxin and Lu Shidao?
Shuiyuying knew what Yin Lihua was thinking. She put the elixir into Yin Lihua's hand and said, "Think about the humiliation you suffered at the hands of Gao Xian. You decide whether to use it or not."
Yin Lihua did not refuse this time, she silently put away the pills.
Shuiyuying smiled. Yin Lihua must have such a gloomy character, she must be petty and vindictive.
How can you resist not using the Five Soul Burning Pills if you really want to face Gao Xian!
At this time, a jade chime rang softly, and the clear and gentle sound spread throughout the surroundings, suppressing all sounds.
Lu Jingxu, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, floated down on the sword discussion stage, and he raised his voice and said: "Today is the third day of the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, and foundation-building monks from all walks of life will take the stage to compete.
“As soon as the jade chime rings, both sides must end the battle immediately. The outcome will be decided by Li Zhenren and others. The order of the sword competition will be determined by drawing lots..."
Normally, these words should be spoken by Li Ye, the head of the Sword Academy, but Li Ye didn't like it, so Lu Jingxu could only do it for him.
Lu Jingxu announced the rules of the ceremony, and then he took out a wooden bucket densely filled with bamboo sticks.
The foundation-building monks who signed up to participate in the Dharma assembly each came on stage to draw bamboo sticks.
When Gao Xian came on stage, he saw a beautiful woman sitting in the east stand waving to him excitedly. Sitting next to the woman was a tall and sturdy man with a serious face.
It turned out to be neighbors Wei Shuangshuang and Wei Cheng. The other two neighbors, Tong Yan and Yuan Lin, were sitting on one side.
Gao Xian nodded slightly. Wei Shuangshuang's enthusiasm always gives people the illusion that this woman likes me!
In fact, Wei Shuangshuang treats his friends like this.
Tong Yan and Yuan Lin, the two foundation-building monks, also nodded to Gao Xian, with friendly smiles on their faces.
They can see the south stand from here, and they can see Gao Xian and Mizutama talking and laughing. This made them respect Gao Xian even more.
Besides, Gao Xian was well-known throughout the city during this period. They all bought Gao Xian's book and thought the paintings were indeed beautiful! I also have a little more sincere admiration for Gao Xian.
There are 471 monks participating in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly to build the foundation, which is more than Gao Xian expected.
After careful calculation, the number of thirty-six sects plus individual cultivators building foundations, plus foundation-building cultivators outside Qingyun Dao, is not an exaggeration. After all, it only happens once every sixty years.
Gao Xian returned to the stand and looked at Yun Qiushui with the bamboo stick in his hand.
“Three hundred and one, which is considered to be at the back.”
Yun Qiushui said: "The first two rounds will be a bit boring, after all, there are a lot of top-up players. After two rounds, the remaining ones will be elites, and the battle will be better."
According to the rules, numbers 1 and 2 will be drawn first to take the stage.
Two foundation-building monks who came from nowhere, looked to be in their forties or fifties.
As Yun Qiushui said, the two foundation-building monks have mediocre cultivation, mediocre spells, mediocre magical weapons, mediocre combat...
The two were of about the same level, and they fought for a quarter of an hour before one of them narrowly won a move and ended the fight.
Since then, foundation-building monks from all walks of life have appeared one after another. Li Feihuang was ranked higher. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she overwhelmed her opponent with wind swords and guns, and won the victory in less than ten breaths.
This battle also made tens of thousands of cultivators watching the battle get to know Li Feihuang, and they knew that this person was born with a fire phoenix spirit body and was extremely powerful.
Zhang Zhengxin, Lu Shidao, and Li Qingfeng also took the stage one after another. They all easily defeated their opponents and left a deep impression on the practitioners present.
Especially Li Qingfeng's flying sword. With a flash of the feather-like flying sword, the battle is over.
Gao Xian did not take the stage until noon the next day.
Gao Xian's opponent was a pretty female Foundation Establishment monk. The female Foundation Establishment monk's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Gao Xian.
“The opposite person is a distinguished Taoist friend with a great reputation...”
“Ashamed and ashamed, I have a false reputation and made fellow Taoists laugh.”
The female monk still wanted to chat for a few words, but Gao Xian didn't want to talk anymore. It was not a fan meeting.
After saluting, he said: "Please."
The female monk hurriedly pulled out her long sword, activated her protective energy, and prepared her golden light talisman.
Gao Xian's fame has increased, but he doesn't know what his abilities are. The female monk thought that if she could win against Gao Xian, she would be able to show her face.
A little red light shone out of thin air, and instantly hit the female monk's protective body.
The flames exploded. Before the female monk could react, her protective aura and golden light talisman shattered and disintegrated in the flames. The violent impact blasted her directly outside the sword discussion platform.
The female monk, whose hair was mostly singed, stumbled to the ground. She looked at Gao Xian on the stage in astonishment.
Gao Xian raised his hands in a dashing way: "I accept the offer."
Lu Jingxu from the southern stand said in a deep voice: "Gao Xian, Sheng."
It was only then that the many cultivators watching the battle around them realized, and there was an uproar...
