Chapter 420: The Eve of the Immortal Sect Competition
What the hell!
Could you please not ask me such difficult questions?
Chi Jiuyu’s expression froze.
From an emotional point of view, she prefers Senior Lingzu. After all, Senior Lingzu is so good to her.
But now is obviously not the time to act from an emotional perspective...
And to be honest, as someone who is half face-blind, in her opinion, both of them are so good-looking that it’s hard to tell who’s better…
She looked at Zhao Ruohan beside her for help.
However, Zhao Ruohan noticed her gaze and looked away.
Chi Jiuyu: "..."
The friendship boat can capsize at any time. This Xiao Zhao is really disloyal!
Her mind was working quickly and she soon thought of what to say.
"Emm...Actually, I still think Master is prettier."
First, quietly stack the armor, it is always right to be loyal to the master.
"And Senior Yuanjun, you have a piece of cloth tied on your face, so I can't see clearly..."
There was a piece of cloth tied on his face...
This is a really 'vivid' description.
Yuan Jun didn't care: "So, you think Lingzu is more beautiful?"
"No, it's just that Senior Yuanjun, you have a piece of cloth tied on your face, so Senior Lingzu is more in line with my aesthetic taste." Chi Jiuyu looked at Yuanjun "innocently".
"And this is just my personal opinion. Uncle Shi may not think the same as me."
The words "innocence" seemed to be written on her face.
Seeing the essence through the phenomenon, does what you think matter?
Not important at all!
What matters is what the uncle thinks.
And after that sentence just now, she found that Senior Yuanjun was not a particularly serious senior, and it was completely okay for him to be a little naughty!
The supreme wisdom of Patriarch Jiuyu has already seen through everything!
Xu Xing looked at the guy in front of him who was smug in his heart and couldn't help but feel speechless: "I've only been there a few times, and you've been bribed?"
"What do you mean by being bribed? Senior Lingzu is so good to us, of course I have a good impression of her!" Chi Jiuyu said confidently.
He gave her food and drink, and even gave her branches from the Xuanzhu fruit tree, and even cooked for her personally...
She, the Nine Fish Ancestor, really could not do such an ungrateful thing.
"Are you not afraid that I will be angry if you say that?"
"I am just telling the truth. You are a master like Senior Lingzu. How could you be unhappy because of what I said?"
Yuanjun looked at her for a while, finally chuckled and said nothing more.
It was just a casual remark, but I never expected that the answer from Sword Master's disciple would be more interesting than expected.
How did the Sword Master teach such a disciple?
"You are quite good at talking."
"Hehe, being eloquent is my strong point." Chi Jiuyu said with a grin.
"What you said is indeed interesting. In that case, the two of you should accompany me and your uncle for a walk."
Ok? !
Zhao Ruohan looked stunned.
I didn't say a word just now, how come you still have your own things to do?
"Also tell me something about your master." Yuan Jun said again.
"That won't do!" Chi Jiuyu refused.
As she spoke, she had already walked around the bench and dragged Zhao Ruohan, who looked reluctant, to follow the two of them.
"Oh?"
"As a disciple, how can I talk about Master behind his back?" She looked determined, but quickly changed the subject, "Unless Master agrees!"
"I didn't realize you respected your master so much."
No wonder Sword Master often mentioned her as his disciple.
"That's right. In addition to my unparalleled talent and extraordinary wisdom, respecting teachers is also one of my good qualities!"
This guy is becoming more and more shameless.
Xu Xing was speechless, but didn't say anything.
Senior Sister naturally wouldn't tell the group about Chi Jiuyu provoking her, after all, family disgrace should not be made public...
The four of them walked forward like this.
During the conversation, Yuanjun and Chi Jiuyu were the only ones talking, and even Xu Xing didn't say much.
When Zhao Ruohan saw this scene, she admired her even more.
Although she is the daughter of Hongzun, she still inevitably feels a little nervous when meeting other immortal sect ancestors...
For example, when she went to pay a visit to Senior Sword Master yesterday, she was extremely nervous, let alone talking to him as calmly as Chi Jiuyu was doing now.
This strong psychological quality...
Sure enough, there are still many things worth learning from Chi Jiuyu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ruohan observed Chi Jiuyu's every move more carefully.
Xu Xing: “…”
Forget it, we can't get together otherwise.
……
……
As we walked towards evening, the sun was setting in the west.
The horizon was covered with sunset glow that looked like molten gold; even the rolling red neon lights were dyed by the brightness. However, the outer sect of the Supreme Taoist Sect was still bustling with people coming and going.
On a high observation deck stands a huge yin-yang fish statue, with a few tourists standing scattered around it, some of whom are taking pictures with their mobile phones.
There were also some disciples wearing the uniforms of Tai Shang Dao Zong, holding professional photography instruments to shoot promotional images.
If there weren't a new product launch event, there would be more people coming here.
Chi Jiuyu and Zhao Ruohan were standing on the pedestal, gnawing on the roasted corn in their hands.
The corn kernels are roasted into a beautiful golden color. They are soft, sweet, and full of energy. The price is also very reasonable, so they are very popular.
After a slight hesitation, Zhao Ruohan looked at Chi Jiuyu and said seriously: "See you next time, it will be the time for the Immortal Sect Competition. I will definitely defeat you."
"Hmm?!" Chi Jiuyu chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed them completely, and looked at Zhao Ruohan seriously, "What are you dreaming about!"
"..."
I thought she could say something nice.
"Besides, we've been assigned to the God Transformation Group. We might be eliminated before we even meet our opponents." She took another bite of corn.
"You...are you ever so unconfident?"
"This is not called lack of confidence, this is called clear self-awareness." She shook the corn cob in her hand, "I'm only 23 years old, Xiao Zhao, you're only 25 years old, how can you compare with those old guys in their 50s and 60s?"
Even if there is a compensation mechanism, the realm of those old guys will be suppressed, but the gap in magical powers and fighting experience will still be difficult to make up.
"In fact, the compensation mechanism can obviously be made more balanced..." Zhao Ruohan frowned.
Perfect balance is not impossible to achieve.
"I heard Master talk about this. The essence of holding the 'Immortal Sect Competition' is to hone the disciples, so they only suppress their realm and add some restrictions, instead of suppressing their magical powers directly."
The younger the contestants, the more insights they can gain.
After all, you have to face an opponent who is at the same level or even lower than you, but whose magical powers are far superior to yours. It is impossible for you to have no insights.
And the older contestants...
To put it bluntly, they serve more like a 'grindstone'.
"Why, don't you know?"
Zhao Ruohan shook her head: "I never asked."
"Well now you know."
After saying this casually, Chi Jiuyu was about to throw away the corn cob in his hand, but soon he seemed to think of something.
"Oh, yes, do you know who named this 'corn'?"
"It's Senior Sword Ancestor." Zhao Ruohan did not give her the chance to continue pretending.
"In the beginning, it was just a spiritual medicine with weak spiritual energy and low medicinal value. Now this variety is rich in spiritual energy and has plump grains. It is the result of several generations of cultivation and optimization by Jishigu." "In the previous generation, a mutant variety was also cultivated. The fruit is completely fibrous, which is an excellent material for the method of 'scattering beans to make soldiers'."
"The leaves are long, large and wide, and can be used as talismans or materials for the 'paper cutting to make adults' method by simply cutting them."
"The stem..."
Abba Abba…
"Stop, stop, stop! Got it, got it."
She didn't want to listen to Xiao Zhao's further popular science talk, and she even played with a corn in a big way!
He casually threw the corn cob in his hand into the trash can beside him.
"But how do you know so much?"
"...I like to grow some special spiritual plants."
A special spiritual plant?
Chi Jiuyu suddenly thought of his Xuanzhu fruit tree.
"Then our hobbies are quite similar!"
He stood up from the statue's base and patted his pants.
Xu Xing and Yuan Jun were standing not far ahead and turned around to look at her.
"Have you finished talking?" Xu Xing asked.
"Yeah, almost there."
"Okay, let's go back then." He looked at Yuan Jun and said, "Let's go."
"Yes." After nodding slightly, Yuan Jun walked in front of Chi Jiuyu and said, "Since this is our first meeting, I will give you a small gift so that you don't always think that I am more stingy than Lingzu."
"How could that be?" She scratched her head, "Senior, you think too much."
Yuanjun smiled without saying anything, opened his hand and handed over something that looked like a note.
Oh?
There were two beautifully written characters on the note: "Misfortune" and "Blessing".
"Give people 'misfortune' and give people 'blessing'. How you use it is entirely up to you."
Xu Xing came closer and asked: "Isn't it a little dangerous to give her this?"
"I don't think so. Although Jiuyu is a little naughty, she still knows what to do."
We are not naughty.
Chi Jiuyu muttered to himself.
"Thank you, Senior Yuanjun!"
To bring misfortune to others and to grant them blessing, it sounds very noble!
Moreover, even my uncle-master gave me a special reminder about it, so it must be a top-notch stuff!
He took the note solemnly.
It fell into my hand, and it felt so light that I could hardly feel any weight.
I thought it was paper, but it feels more like fabric...
She couldn't help but look at the white veil covering Yuanjun's eyes.
"Speaking of which, Senior, you are so beautiful, why are you covered with a layer of gauze?"
"Isn't it tied with a piece of cloth?" Yuanjun asked back.
Chi Jiuyu paused, then laughed awkwardly.
As the saying goes, eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed.
"This is between your uncle and I. It's an adult matter, so kids shouldn't ask about it."
"Oh."
The matter with Uncle-Master… ?
hiss~!
Could it be...!
Snapped!
Chi Jiuyu shuddered, then covered the back of his head and loudly accused: "Uncle Master, you hit my head again!"
hateful!
We were standing face to face, but he still hit me on the back of the head!
It’s amazing that you have a high level of attainment!
"Okay, these are not things you should know now!"
Yuanjun actually had quite a bad taste in the past.
Otherwise, he would not have learned his sword skills during the sparring match, improved them and beat him up.
It's just that it has been restrained now.
"gone."
Then he didn't give Chi Jiuyu any chance to speak and disappeared with her.
Zhao Ruohan was still sitting on the base of the statue at this time.
After Xu Xing and Chi Jiuyu disappeared, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to Yuan Jun.
The sunset fell on her profile, outlining her beautiful face.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a veil over her, making her look even more otherworldly, peaceful and beautiful.
My aunt is really beautiful...
Senior Jianzun is also very good-looking, but he is too cold and serious.
What about Senior Lingzu?
Chi Jiuyu said she was prettier than her younger sister...
probably not.
…………
After Chi Jiuyu came back with Xu Xing, he was called by Bie Xue Ning for questioning.
She proudly repeated her performance, and the result was...
Nothing.
Bie Xue Ning simply asked a few simple questions and then tested her progress in the Dharma. She then explained some precautions regarding the "blessing and misfortune" note to prevent her from causing trouble.
When it comes to cause and effect, the note is not simple at all.
Although it is not as good as the peerless and invincible magical power like "Master, save me", its standard is so high that even Tong Xuan and even Dong Zhen will get into trouble if they are not careful, and He Dao will suffer a lot.
As for the Hedao...
That means if one move is triggered, the entire body will be affected, and large numbers of people will be affected.
The reason why Yuanjun didn't say anything was because she understood this point. Sword Master would say it anyway, so she was too lazy to mention it again.
A few days passed after this.
The trials for the Immortal Sect Competition are in full swing.
The live broadcast of the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect’s trials was banned several times because it was too pornographic, and eventually the sound was simply blocked.
The visual experience suddenly went up several levels!
The fist-to-flesh fights between the big muscular men are primitive and violent, and they are very exciting!
And in the selection competition of the seven immortal sects.
If we talk about the most intense sect, it would have to be the Hehuan Sect.
Every move was fatal, with no mercy at all. If you didn't know, you would think they were mortal enemies.
After all, the popularity of the Immortal Sect Competition is really too high. Although the footage of this competition is not open to the public, as long as you become a formal contestant, you will get a huge amount of traffic.
If possible, the popularity of winning a place in the Immortal Sect Competition will naturally be higher.
But that's too difficult, so I just put it there.
The second is the Shen Ji Treasure Refining Pavilion.
Last time, the overall ranking was actually lower than that of the group of alchemists in Jishigu. It can be said that everyone was holding their breath.
Then I came to the Sword Sect.
Being ranked number one for many years, there is naturally pressure, and everyone is trying their best to win a spot.
After that there are the more Buddhist places like Jishigu and Lingyinfang.
Of course, when it comes to which audition is the most harmonious and fun...
There is no doubt that it is the Supreme Taoist Sect, who even displayed an atmosphere of "joy and happiness".
After several weeks of trials, the candidates for the Immortal Sect Competition were finally determined.
At the same time, the Star Domain Guard changed. The Master of the Last Tribulation Sword, who had been stationed on the frontline battlefield of the Starry Sky for many years, returned to the Sword Sect. The area he guarded was taken over by a Dong Zhen from the Lingyin Square. (End of this chapter)
