Chapter 429: Immortal Sect Competition Begins
Although it is a 'free trade zone', the Sword Sect allows outside practitioners to set up stalls here, and whether they make a profit or a loss depends entirely on their own eyesight.
But it still requires some procedures.
You have to apply at Danding Pavilion first, pay a fee of 200 spirit coins, and then see if there are any vacant stalls. Only after obtaining the relevant certificates can you start setting up the stall.
It usually takes three to five days to get the application approved, and then you have to apply again if you want to set up shop again. It is a bit similar to the so-called "black market" in ancient times.
Originally it was intended to be a way for Danding Pavilion's disciples to train their eyesight, but somehow it became popular.
Zhao Ruohan naturally couldn't wait for three to five days, after all, the Immortal Sect Competition would have begun by then.
So, Chi Jiuyu has to provide a guarantee.
If there is a guarantee from a disciple of the Sword Sect, the certificate can be obtained in no time.
Danding Pavilion, business processing area.
After going through Chi Jiuyu's channel and walking through the internal passage of the Sword Sect disciples, it was soon Zhao Ruohan's turn.
"Hello, I plan to sell some unused items in the 'Free Trade Zone'." As he spoke, he handed over two spirit coins with a face value of one hundred each.
Today, the spiritual currency entities in the Central Continent are in two forms: 'paper' and 'coins'.
They are all made by encapsulating equal amounts of spiritual energy through the latest generation of 'Soul Locking' technology. The spiritual energy lost in a hundred years will not exceed one ten-thousandth of the total amount.
It was jointly issued by the seven major immortal sects and the Righteous Alliance. After all, it was Yuan's perfect system.
Generally speaking, no one would be stupid enough to make "counterfeit money", not to mention the high risk, they would be targeted by the method of tracing cause and effect.
Moreover, the value of spirit coins is related to the amount of spiritual energy contained in them, and it is difficult to recover the cost by counterfeiting them.
"I'm the guarantor for her." Chi Jiuyu added.
"..."
What does Junior Uncle Master want to do?
"OK, just a second."
No matter what she wants to do, Junior Uncle-Master has been a weird person for a long time. Just follow the procedures.
"Please show me your ID."
"Oh." Chi Jiuyu took out the identity jade card from the storage ring and handed it over.
In this way, under her guarantee, Zhao Ruohan successfully obtained a certificate valid for one day.
……
……
Soon, the two left Danding Pavilion and came outside.
We passed through the bustling crowd and finally stopped in a relatively remote corner.
The better locations have been picked, and the remaining ones are some corners and crevices. This place is considered one of the better ones!
Just as Zhao Ruohan took out a spiritual wood table and prepared to put the things to sell on it.
Chi Jiuyu glanced around and suddenly said, "Look at Xiao Zhao, that looks like your brother."
"Ok?"
Zhao Ruohan looked up and saw her brother squeezed in the bustling crowd, grinning foolishly while looking at the screen of his mobile phone.
"…" This man is hopeless, "He is not important."
It’s still the same sentence.
"Tsk, tsk."
Chi Jiuyu clicked his tongue twice, took out a small stool and sat down.
Her Nine Fishermen Ancestor is also here to set up a stall today!
Zhao Ruohan retracted her gaze, thought for a moment, and then spread a piece of brocade woven with the silk of the Phantom Cloud Silkworm King on the spiritual wooden table.
Huanyun Silkworm, a special spiritual insect in the Huanyun Galaxy.
It lives in the clouds of specific planets, feeds on the pure cloud energy, and the silk it spits out is extremely tough, with certain forbidden effects, making it an excellent material for making robes.
Among ten thousand phantom cloud silkworms, only one king silkworm appears, which only spins nine feet of silk a year.
Not only is it superior to ordinary silk in all aspects, but the brocade robes made of it can also cleanse the bones and repair hidden injuries if worn for a long time.
I actually used this as a tablecloth...
Chi Jiuyu curled his lips, used to it.
She has now accepted the fact that Xiao Zhao is rich.
After spreading the tablecloth and placing the items to be sold, Zhao Ruohan put another wooden sign on it - [Only accepting barter, special spiritual plant seeds are preferred].
Spiritual plant seeds?
"Xiao Zhao, you seem to like growing things, huh?"
Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips: "Just an interest."
"Oh, I thought it was related to your innate magical power." Chi Jiuyu said casually while playing with his mobile phone.
"..."
Ok?
After not hearing a reply for a while, she raised her head and was about to say something.
But he found that Zhao Ruoming had come to the stall without knowing when, and looked at him strangely: "Are you setting up a stall?"
Zhao Ruohan looked a little compassionate: "Yes."
"..."
You have no mercy at all!
"Hey! Brother Gou, how many kilograms of tea have you bought recently?" Chi Jiuyu greeted him.
Zhao Ruoming's face turned dark, and he suddenly felt that it was a complete mistake for him to come over.
"Zhiwei is not that kind of person."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. There was no need to argue with these two people with abnormal brains.
But the next moment, a voice coming from the side made him stop abruptly.
"Sister?"
"Senior Sister Jiuyu?!"
Doubts and surprises.
The people who came were Zhang Yunlu and Lin Xuanxuan.
As for why Lin Xuanxuan also called Chi Jiuyu "Senior Sister", according to her -
'We're all brothers'!
"It's Xiao Yunlu and Xiao Lin." Chi Jiuyu introduced them familiarly, "This is Xiao Zhao, Zhao Ruohan, the real fairy girl, and that one is Brother Gou, Xiao Zhao's brother."
Who the hell is Brother Dog!
"This is my junior sister Zhang Yunlu, and that is Lin Xuanxuan from Jishigu, a genius alchemist."
As for why Zhang Yunlu didn't have any extra introduction...
Chi Jiuyu’s junior sister, this is enough to prove how awesome she is!
"Hello." Zhao Ruohan nodded slightly.
"Hello." Zhang Yunlu also replied calmly.
"Hello, Senior Sister Zhao!" Lin Xuanxuan was very enthusiastic, "And Senior Brother Gou..."
"My name is Zhao Ruoming." Zhao Ruoming said quickly.
“Ah?” Lin Xuanxuan was a little at a loss, “Could it be the one who was beaten and cried in the last Immortal Sect Competition… Sorry, sorry!”
"..."
Why don’t you just call me Brother Dog?
Oh shit!
How come everyone knows about this!
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his speechlessness and forced a smile.
The reason he stopped was that he discovered that Lin Xuanxuan was the alchemist of Jishigu.
Since he is a contestant of Jishigu's Immortal Sect Competition this time, he should know Zhiwei. After all, Zhiwei is so outstanding.
As I thought about it, all the depression in my heart disappeared, and my smile became more and more "sincere".
Lin Xuanxuan moved behind Zhang Yunlu with some fear, secretly holding a few poison pills that could cause people to become unconscious.
Zhang Yunlu also looked at him solemnly. Zhao Ruohan: "..."
Turning to look at Chi Jiuyu, she said seriously: "I will definitely beat you this time."
Chi Jiuyu: "..."
No, could it be that his innate magical power really has any side effects?
"Ahem!" Zhao Ruoming also realized something was wrong and coughed to regain his composure. "Junior Sister Lin, since you are the alchemist of Jishigu, do you know Ye Zhiwei?"
Ye Zhiwei...
"What do you want to do!" Lin Xuanxuan's eyes were full of vigilance.
Zhao Ruoming said sincerely, "To be honest with Junior Sister Lin, Zhiwei and I are in love with each other."
Zhao Ruohan explained calmly: "Online romance."
Zhao Ruoming said solemnly: "We have been in contact for the past year and a half."
Zhao Ruohan took out a can of tea and placed it on the table: "I bought two hundred kilograms of tea."
Zhao Ruoming took out his phone and showed Lin Xuanxuan the profile picture with the note "Zhiwei". "We agreed to meet after the competition, but I couldn't contact her since last night, so I wanted to ask you about Zhiwei's hobbies so that I can prepare some gifts for her."
Zhao Ruohan sighed and looked helplessly at Lin Xuanxuan who was hiding behind Zhang Yunlu: "You should understand."
Zhang Yunlu: “…”
What an old fashioned scam.
There are actually people who were fooled.
Looking at Chi Jiuyu, I found that she had taken out a handful of melon seeds at some point and was looking at them with great interest.
After hearing this, Lin Xuanxuan finally slowly moved out from behind Zhang Yunlu.
"Don't you feel like you've been fooled?"
it is as expected!
"No, that won't happen. Zhiwei is not that kind of person." Zhao Ruoming said firmly, pointing at a message on the phone screen, "This is love!"
It’s over, this child is hopeless!
However, Lin Xuanxuan's next words stunned everyone.
"Emm... I don't know if it's the same person, but I have a senior sister named 'Ye Zhiwei', and she has given away a lot of tea over the past year."
Ah this...!
There really is such a person!
"Gift? Didn't you buy it?" Zhao Ruohan frowned and looked at the tea leaves on the table.
"She never asked me for even a single spiritual coin. I bought those as gifts for her!" Zhao Ruoming said excitedly, "The tea leaves were just her return gift!"
Chi Jiuyu, who was eating melon seeds, suddenly seemed to think of something and clicked on the announcement jointly issued by the major immortal sects.
“Hey! Isn’t there a contestant named Ye Zhiwei among the contestants in the God Transformation Group of Jishigu?”
"Well, Senior Sister Ye is very capable!" Lin Xuanxuan looked at Zhao Ruoming again, "She went to make pills after arriving at the Sword Sect yesterday. If it was really her, then she shouldn't have seen any news about you."
"Let me see!"
Zhao Ruoming was so excited that he was about to snatch Chi Jiuyu's cell phone.
But Chi Jiuyu easily dispersed his magic power: "You don't have any of your own."
"Oh! Sorry, sorry! Hahaha!" He came back to his senses and hurriedly took out his phone, "It must be! It must be!"
At this moment, a very oppressive man, over eight feet tall, walked over.
Touching his shiny head, he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Um...are you guys selling things at a stall?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Ruoming uncertainly, then opened his large hand like a palm-leaf fan, revealing an opened jade box in his palm.
On the crimson velvet cloth was a fingertip-sized, jade-colored, and strange seed with purple patterns.
"Can you tell me the origin of your seed?"
"I got it by accident. I don't even know what it is."
To be precise, this was found when I participated in the out-of-bounds trial last time and destroyed Ziqing Temple with my uncle.
"I wanted to take this opportunity to find a sucker in Jishigu and sell him off."
Lin Xuanxuan: “…”
What I hate most is physical training!
Zhao Ruohan thought for a moment and said, "How about you pick two items from the table and exchange them for your seed?"
"it is good!"
I thought it would be nice to have a replacement.
Then, the sturdy man left with the brocade woven from the silk of the Phantom Cloud Silkworm King and a potion.
Zhao Ruoming also left soon with an excited expression.
It seems that he is preparing to look for Ye Zhiwei.
Chi Jiuyu cracked some melon seeds and gave some to Zhao Ruohan: "I never thought there would be such a person."
"Not sure yet."
Zhao Ruohan took the can of tea off the table.
“It’s not necessarily the same person.”
……
……
On that day, Zhao Ruoming did not succeed in meeting Ye Zhiwei.
Because his expression was too...'abnormal', he was caught by the leader of Jishigu as soon as he arrived nearby and handed over to the patrolling disciples of Jianzong Silutang.
The Immortal Sect Competition has been held so many times, but this is the first time that a contestant has been caught and locked up for trespassing into the living area of another Immortal Sect team and trying to harass other contestants.
Upon hearing the news, Master Xiaoyu was completely numb.
No, Junior Uncle-Master, are you kidding me?
Although I am speechless, I still have to go and get the person back.
He didn't even bother to talk to Sister Zi Yue... and hurried to the Si Lu Hall of the Sword Sect to pick up people.
In order to prevent him from causing trouble again, after bringing him back, Master Xiaoyu asked for instructions from the sect and then locked him up.
After experiencing this, Zhao Ruoming finally calmed down and began to prepare for the subsequent Immortal Sect Competition.
Since Zhiwei...Zhiwei is also going to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition, I have to work harder so that I can see her in the Immortal Sect Competition.
Otherwise, I will be eliminated before I even meet her...
In short, after this experience, Zhao Ruoming finally ignited his fighting spirit.
Time passed by bit by bit, and as the rules of this competition were completely decentralized, most of the contestants were no longer as casual as usual.
Even Chi Jiuyu, who claimed that he was just going there to "hang out", secretly found Bie Xue Ning and took advantage of the last chance to perfect his method of "Destroying the Four Symbols".
It's different for the Hehuan Sect, except for the three who have comprehended the supreme inheritance of 'self' who are still outside the scroll.
The remaining Mei cultivators, Tianren cultivators and Huan cultivators continued to be in a bad state.
There is no need to talk about Mei Xiu, since he has already entered the competition, he can't beat those perverts no matter how competitive he is. The real thing is to start a live broadcast to attract some traffic!
Tianren, as one of the few wolf-killers among the practitioners nowadays, is not practicing for a short period of time, but is adjusting his mentality.
Not to mention Huan Xiu, whose number is now even smaller than that of the celestial beings, and they are all taking the path of growing golden lotus in fire, so there is no time to rush.
In this way, the remaining three days passed quickly, and finally it was the day when the Immortal Sect Competition officially began.
Compared to the previous lively competition, this year's Immortal Sect Competition seemed particularly "deserted".
In the not very spacious open-air venue.
The daylight is fine and the sun is shining brightly.
I saw several cloud platforms floating in the sky, and in front of the cloud platforms was a bullet-like sphere only the size of a fingertip, quietly floating.
It can be seen that all the living beings in the world are completely frozen at this moment.
It is the Xuanxiang Realm that is used as the trial site for this Immortal Sect Competition!
Buzz~!
The sharp sword intent shattered the clouds and mist.
A ray of sword light came from nowhere and landed on the cloud platform in the middle, transforming into an old man with immortal appearance, wearing a purple-gold sect leader's robe, and with white hair and a youthful face.
Sword Sect Master Du Ruoheng! (End of this chapter)
