Chapter 69: Trespassing and Rewards
Chapter 69 – Breaking Through and Rewards
Thousand Demon Peak, where the Thousand Demon Pagoda was kept.
At the top of the mountain sat a lapis lazuli square of 100,000 acres in size, and in the center of the square was a huge golden tower with flickering spiritual light, with some demonic beast patterns engraved on the tower, which was none other than the Thousand Demon Pagoda.
More than a thousand cultivators gathered near the Thousand Demon Tower, mostly Qi Refining Cultivators, they were all disciples from the various outer peaks who had advanced to the final round, and had come to break into the Thousand Demon Tower to determine their rankings.
The Snow Winged Ice Centipede, Eight Winged Thunder Fire Centipede, and Golden Flying Boat landed on the green stone square one after another, and Shen Long and the other Qi Refining cultivators walked to the ground.
A green jade table was placed at the entrance of the Thousand Demon Tower, and two Foundation Establishment cultivators sat behind the green jade table.
Liu Xian, Liang Ying, and Wang Chong walked towards the green jade table to register.
The first fifty were chosen to break into the Thousand Demon Tower to prevent the outer peak disciples from cheating. In the past, the small competition was held in the outer peaks from beginning to end, and some of the peak masters accepted bribes or were biased, and operated in the dark, and the capable disciples failed to enter the top fifty, and those who climbed the relationship, flattered and flattered the people instead were able to enter the top fifty and took the rewards, and so the Royal Spirit Sect changed the rules, and the disciples who entered the final round of breaking into the Thousand Demon Tower were open and transparent, and it was difficult to cheat.
In order to maintain the relative fairness, the thousand demon tower has made strict restrictions, firstly, you can’t use second-order talismanic seal and talismanic treasure, secondly, you can’t use the very best magic weapon, the spiritual beasts, spiritual birds and insects can’t add up to more than three kinds of magic weapon, the disposable magic weapon can’t be more than three pieces, and the enemy trapping type of talismanic seal can’t be more than three pieces, which is in order to limit the rich woman like Ning Qianqian.
The Royal Spirit Sect has a long heritage, some Qi refining cultivators have inherited a large amount of spirit fields, spirit beasts and spirit insects, stores and so on from their ancestors, and they have a lot of financial strength, if they are not restricted, this is very unfair to those Qi refining disciples who are of average stature, and in the long run, the sect’s resources will all fall on the rich disciples, and it will be difficult for those of average stature to make a name for themselves.
Of course, in addition to the small competition, the Royal Spirit Sect also has a number of upward channels, made a great achievement, mastered a skill, broke through the 18th floor of the Thousand Demon Tower, and so on.
Shen Long and the others stood near the Thousand Demon Tower, they could clearly see the situation on the first fifteen floors of the Thousand Demon Tower, some Qi Refining cultivators were breaking through.
Xiao Bi breaking into the Thousand Demon Tower was free, normally to break into the Thousand Demon Tower needed to consume good deeds.
Shen Long’s gaze landed on the fifteenth floor, Lin Sisi was breaking through, her opponents were six first-order demonic beasts, Ice Crystal Scorpion, Fire Cloud Clam, Wind Chasing Tiger, Green Thunder Eagle, Whistling Wind Wolf, and Departing Fire Falcon.
Lin Sisi released the Purple Striped Fire Centipede, Double Headed Buzzard and Powerful Golden Backed Ape, she held a small sword with flashing purple light in her hand, the seven purple small swords attacked the Wind Chasing Tiger, Whistling Wind Wolf and Green Thunder Eagle.
Having been initiated for more than two years, Lin Sisi’s seven did not have any interactions with Shen Long and the other new disciples, and they had not come to Qing Yun Peak.
Shen Long had asked Sun Sen that Lin Sisi was not considered a disciple of Qing Yun Peak, and since she lived in Golden Toad Peak, she was a disciple of Golden Toad Peak, and if Lin Sisi gained even a better ranking, it had nothing to do with Qing Yun Peak.
This is good, otherwise the top fifty would have to give up seven.
Lin Sisi drove the Zi Mu Sword, which was also a set of magic weapon, she manipulated the Zi Mu Sword to attack the three demonic beasts, while at the same time, she sacrificed powerful talisman seals to help her spirit beasts exterminate the Ice Crystal Scorpion, the Fire Cloud Clam, and the Departing Flame Falcon, destroying them all in parts.
This strategy was successful, the six first rank demonic beasts were all destroyed by her, and she arrived at the sixteenth floor.
“Someone has broken through to the sixteenth floor.”
Someone exclaimed.
The Qi Refining cultivators in the Greenstone Square looked towards the sixteenth floor of the Thousand Demon Tower, and as soon as Lin Si Si appeared on the sixteenth floor, seven demonic beasts appeared and attacked Lin Si Si.
Lin Sisi took a blue pill and maneuvered the Zi Mu sword to attack the demonic beasts, while releasing spirit beasts and spirit insects to assist her in breaking through.
Liu Xian and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were not interested in watching and gathered together to chat and catch up.
Lin Sisi’s strategy was still to divide and conquer, but this time it didn’t go so well, the Red Amazing Tiger, Powerful Giant Ape and Whistling Wind Wolf charged from the front, the Green Thunder Eagle and Wind Chasing Eagle swooped down from a high altitude, and the Snowy Cloud Spider and the Blood Eyed Toad attacked from the left and right sides.
Lin Si Si’s right hand raised, three golden glittering talisman seals flew out, the Whistling Wind Wolf, the Green Thunder Eagle and the Wind Chasing Eagle immediately avoided them, and the three golden talisman seals exploded into dozens of thick golden iron chains, wrapping themselves around the Amazing Red Tiger, the Snow Cloud Spider, and the Blood Eyed Toad.
Demon locking talisman!
The Whistling Wind Wolf, Green Thunder Eagle and Wind Chasing Eagle pounced over, Lin Si Si hurriedly sacrificed five Fire Snake Talismans, transforming into five red-colored fire snakes to meet them, while simultaneously manipulating the Zi Mu Sword to attack them.
The three demonic beasts were trapped by the Demon Locking Talisman, there was no way to get out for a while, Lin Sisi first maneuvered the Zi Mu Sword to attack the demonic beasts trapped by the Demon Locking Talisman, and resolved them before going to deal with the other four demonic beasts.
Lin Si Si’s strategy was very successful, the first-order demonic beasts were trapped and could not block the Zi Mu Sword’s attack, she was covered with multiple defensive light curtains, the Whistling Wind Wolf, the Green Thunder Eagle and the Wind Chasing Eagle could not break through the defensive light curtains for a while, and Lin Si Si’s spirit beasts and spirit worms would also help.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, she resolved seven demonic beasts and arrived at the 17th floor.
Lin Sisi’s mana was severely depleted and her face was pale, after taking a Qi Recovery Pill, her pale face slowly regained its redness.
Eight demonic beasts appeared, they released spells to attack Lin Si Si, red fireballs, silver lightning, yellow earth cones, white ice cones, green wind blades and so on.
Lin Si Si released spirit beasts and spirit insects to help while manipulating the Zi Mu sword to attack the demonic beasts.
Each barrier breaker could only use three enemy trapping type talismans, she had already used up three Demon Locking Talismans and could not use any more.
The demonic beasts on the seventeenth floor were much more powerful, it didn’t take long for Lin Si Si’s spirit beast spirit bugs to be injured, if she continued to fight, she didn’t have much of a chance of winning, and the spirit beast spirit bugs would probably be killed.
She gave up on breaking through, the eight demonic beasts disappeared as much as they could, and Lin Si Si was sent out of the Thousand Demon Tower.
“Who is this senior sister! So powerful!”
“I’ve seen her before, this is Senior Sister Lin from the Golden Toad Peak, she’s the kinswoman of Master Chu’s daoist, from the Red Leaf Ridge Lin Family.”
“Red Leaf Ridge Lin Family, no wonder it’s so powerful, it’s a pity, I thought she would be able to break through eighteen floors in a row!”
“If it was that easy to break through the eighteen layers, I wonder how many disciples would have broken through the eighteen layers.”
The crowd of disciples were talking, each expressing their own views.
“Disciples from Qing Yun Peak are entering the Thousand Demon Tower to break through, come over and line up.”
A Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted.
Qin Shan hurriedly led Shen Long and the others over and lined up to register.
Gu Tianhong was the first to enter the Thousand Demon Tower, he had just walked into the first floor when two Mountain Pushing Beasts appeared in a flash, just at the early stage of the first rank, the Mountain Pushing Beasts quickly rushed towards Gu Tianhong.
Gu Tianhong released the Golden Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Striped Fire Centipede and Ice Wind Lion to attack the two Mountain Pushing Beasts.
Soon, the two early first stage Mountain Pushing Beasts were resolved, and Gu Tianhong came to the second level, where three early first stage demonic beasts appeared.
With the Golden Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Patterned Fire Centipede and Ice Wind Lion, Gu Tianhong easily broke through the first ten levels and arrived at the tenth level, his opponent was a late first stage Blood Eye Toad.
Shen Long also entered the Thousand Demon Tower and began to break through.
As soon as he entered the Thousand Demon Tower, two Early First Order Fire Cloud Clams appeared, more than ten feet away from him.
The two fire cloud clams opened their bloody mouths, each spewing out three bowl-sized red-colored fireballs, heading straight for Shen Long, while two long red tongues shot out, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long’s figure swayed, avoiding the three red fireballs, his right hand raised, a huge fireball as big as a water tank shot out and smashed on top of one red long tongue.
A loud popping sound rang out, and the rolling flames drowned the tongue of the Fire Cloud Clam.
A Fire Cloud Clam let out a hiss of extreme pain and rolled back its tongue, a water tank-sized giant fireball smashed over, it wanted to avoid it, a thick green-colored vine broke out of the ground and wrapped around its hind limbs, and before it had time to break free, the giant fireball smashed onto the Fire Cloud Clam’s body.
With a loud bang, the giant fireball burst open, turning into rolling flames that flooded the figure of the Fire Cloud Clam.
Before the flames dissipated, another giant fireball smashed over.
In less than ten breaths, the two Fire Cloud Clams were destroyed by Shen Long, who came to the second level, where a Whistling Wind Wolf, a Red Amazing Tiger and a Mountain Pushing Beast appeared, all of which were at the early stage of the first rank.
Shen Long raised his right hand, a giant fireball flew out, before it hit the demonic beast, he released a third giant fireball, his attack speed was particularly fast.
“Who is this senior brother! Somewhat unfamiliar, casting spells so fast, cultivating the fireball art to great perfection!”
“This is the newly-entered senior brother Shen, he is very talented in terms of spells, cultivating five first-order spells to great perfection.”
“It seems like there are quite a few powerful characters amongst the newly initiated disciples this time around, the Grand Competition three years from now will be even more difficult.”
——
The Qi Refining cultivators watched the other Qi Refining cultivators break through the barrier and expressed their opinions.
Shen Long, relying on his five great rounds of first-order spells, was unstoppable all the way and quickly arrived at the tenth floor, his opponent was a late first-order Ice Crystal Scorpion.
The Ice Crystal Scorpion opened its mouth and sprayed out a dozen white ice cones, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long’s figure retreated backwards, avoiding the dozen white ice cones.
With a raise of his right hand, a green light shot out and disappeared into the ground, and a green-colored vine as thick as an adult’s arm broke through the ground and wrapped around the body of the Ice Crystal Scorpion.
A large area of white cold air surged out from its body surface, freezing the green trailing vine, struggling up and easily tearing it off, a giant fireball also smashed over, rolling flames flooded the Ice Crystal Scorpion’s body.
Shen Long raised his hands together, a giant fireball shot out and smashed on the body of the Ice Crystal Scorpion one after another.
A huge popping sound rang out, and the fire rose greatly.
Seven giant fireballs smashed onto the body of the Ice Crystal Scorpion one after another, and the Ice Crystal Scorpion was also killed, Shen Long came to the eleventh floor, this time the opponents were a Late First Order Mountain Pushing Beast and a Purple Striped Fire Centipede.
Shen Long released the Fire Rock Beast and Iron Tail Scorpion and let them deal with the Purple Striped Fire Centipede while he dealt with the Mountain Pushing Beast, while taking a Qi Recovery Pill to recover his mana.
At this time, Gu Tianhong was at the fifteenth floor, and he was doubly overwhelmed by the attacks of six late first stage demonic beasts, and the Golden Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Striped Fire Centipede, and Ice Wind Lion all had injuries on their bodies.
He was holding a red flying dagger, and five red flying daggers went straight towards the six late first rank demonic beasts.
Zi Mu Blade!
Gu Tianhong had a number of clansmen in the Royal Spirit Sect, he was the son of the head of the Gu Family and was relatively wealthy.
Qin Bao was on the fourteenth floor, and he was doubly overwhelmed as he faced the attacks of five late first stage demonic beasts.
He didn’t have sets of magic weapons, he hunted and killed demonic beasts for a living, he had teamed up with multiple Qi Refining cultivators back then, now that he was asked to deal with five first rank demonic beasts alone, the pressure was too much.
He had raised a vigorous golden-backed ape that was only in the middle of the first rank.
It didn’t take long before Qin Bao was defeated and teleported out of the Thousand Demon Pagoda, and the vigorous golden-backed ape was also severely injured.
Qin Bao sighed, he was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining and raise a vigorous golden-backed ape, which was very good amongst the casual cultivators, compared to disciples from Immortal Cultivation Families such as Ancient Tianhong and Tang Yu Ting, it was still far worse.
He had broken through the thirteenth layer, and this achievement was considered good.
He looked towards the Thousand Demon Tower and saw that Shen Long had broken through to the twelfth layer and was somewhat surprised.
“Someone has broken through to the fourteenth layer, it’s Senior Sister Ye.”
Li Lei said.
Ye Yuyi was a talisman maker and had the Green Wind Tiger and Green Thunder Eagle to help her, she sacrificed more than a dozen Fire Snake Talismans, transforming into a dozen ten feet long red-colored fire snakes and attacking the five first rank demonic beasts.
Ye Yuyi’s talisman seals seemed like they were inexhaustible, she kept throwing them out, some people had counted, after breaking through to the 14th floor, the talisman seals that Ye Yuyi had sacrificed were worth more than 2,000 spirit stones, only a talisman maker would dare to be so extravagant. Liang Ying, Liu Xian, and Wang Chong were chatting, Liang Ying swept a glance at the Thousand Demon Tower and said, ”Senior brother Liu, there are quite a few good seedlings among the new disciples this time! If they advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you and Senior Brother Xu can get a fortune in Immortal Cultivation resources.”
If the disciples of their peak fall into the Foundation Establishment Stage, the peak master and vice peak master were considered to have made a merit, and would receive a sum of Immortal Cultivation Resources as a reward, the more disciples that advanced into the Foundation Establishment Stage, the more generous the reward, the move of the Royal Spirit Sect was in the hope that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Outer Peaks would cultivate the disciples with all their heart.
Liu Xian smiled and nodded, saying, “There are indeed quite a few good seedlings this time, the next time the mountain opens to accept disciples, the new disciples should be housed in your Green Rose Peak.”
Every time the Royal Spirit Sect opened the mountain, new disciples would be placed in the outer peaks, this time the new disciples were placed in the Qingmei Peak, and the next time they would be placed in the other outer peaks, enriching the strength of the other peaks and falls.
“Let’s hope! Not every opening of the mountain gate to accept disciples can receive good seedlings, seventy-two show now empty ten places, senior brother Xu has been in seclusion to dive into cultivation, is wanting to get a good ranking in the sect competition!”
Liang Ying said.
“Which Foundation Establishment Cultivator in this clan doesn’t want to become a seventy-two show, I haven’t advanced into the Foundation Establishment Stage for a long time, so I won’t participate in this Grand Competition, Senior Sister Liang isn’t weak, she should be able to get a good ranking.”
Liu Xian complimented.
As they chatted, Shen Long had already arrived at the fifteenth floor, his opponents were Ice Crystal Scorpion, Red Amazing Tiger, Green Thunder Eagle, Departing Fire Falcon, Mountain Pushing Beast, and Whistling Wind Wolf, all of which were in the late first stage.
As soon as Shen Long showed up, they released spells to attack Shen Long.
An additional solid blue water curtain appeared on his body surface, while releasing the Fire Rock Beast at the same time.
The Iron-tailed Scorpion was not resistant to being beaten and was easily exterminated by the six late first stage demonic beasts.
The dense spells struck the top of the blue water curtain one after another, and the aura of the blue water curtain dimmed slightly.
The Red Amazing Tiger, Whistling Wind Wolf and Mountain Pushing Beast rushed over, wanting to break through Shen Long’s defense with their huge bodies.
A thick green vine drilled out from the ground, wrapped around the body of the mountain beast, at the same time, two demon locking talisman flew, arrived in front of the Amazing Tiger Box Whistling Wind Wolf instantly burst open, countless golden runes gushed out wildly, transformed into more than a dozen thick golden chains, wrapped around the Amazing Tiger and Whistling Wind Wolf’s body, locking it to the ground.
Shen Long sacrificed the Zi Mu Blade and attacked the other demonic beasts, while releasing a giant fireball and smashing it on the body of the Mountain Pushing Beast.
Explosions continued, rolling flames flooded the body of the Mountain Pushing Beast, and the ground was baked red by the heat.
The Green Thunder Eagle, the Leaving Fire Falcon and the Ice Crystal Scorpion wanted to get close enough to attack Shen Long, and were stopped by the four sub-blades.
Shen Long focused on taking care of the Mountain Pushing Beast, and the Fire Rock Beast dealt with the Ice Crystal Scorpion.
Not long after, Shen Long seized the opportunity, the four sub-blades of yellow light blossomed, circled, and headed straight for the Mountain Pushing Beast that was flooded by the rolling flames.
The Mountain Pushing Beast had already been heavily injured by multiple giant fireballs, and the four sub-blades easily dismantled it.
After resolving the Mountain Pushing Beast, Shen Long switched to attacking the Whistling Wind Wolf, the Whistling Wind Wolf struggled hard, pulling the golden chains to clatter, not much use, the rolling flames enveloped the body of the Whistling Wind Wolf.
The Green Thunder Eagle opened its mouth and sprayed out a baby’s arm thick green lightning, attacking Shen Long, Shen Long’s figure swayed and avoided the green lightning.
A dozen of sharp green wind blades shot out, Shen Long once again performed the Wind Control Art to avoid it, on the contrary, the Whistling Wind Wolf, which was trapped by the Demon Locking Talisman, became a dead target and was at Shen Long’s mercy to attack.
Shen Long cast the Wind Control Technique to avoid the attacks of the Fire Falcon and the Green Thunder Eagle while releasing the Fireball Technique to attack the Whistling Wind Wolf and the Red Amazing Tiger, and the Ice Crystal Scorpion was entangled with the Fire Rock Beast.
Before long, the Whistling Wind Wolf and Red Amazing Tiger were destroyed by Shen Long one after another, and his pressure was greatly reduced, so that only the Ice Crystal Scorpion, Departing Fire Falcon and Green Thunder Eagle remained.
They were obviously not Shen Long’s opponents, Shen Long adopted the strategy of divide and conquer, killing the Ice Crystal Scorpion first, followed by the Off-Fire Falcon, and finally the Green Thunder Sculpture, and smoothly broke through the fifteenth floor.
Gu Tianhong failed to break through the sixteenth layer, and Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang also failed to break through.
As soon as Shen Long appeared on the sixteenth floor, seven demonic beasts appeared as soon as they appeared, and his gaze landed on the Snow Cloud Spider and the Fire Cloud Clam.
He had the self-knowledge that there was no way for him to break through the sixteenth layer.
Even if he couldn’t break through the sixteenth floor, killing a few more demonic beasts and staying for a while longer, his ranking would still be higher.
Dense spells shot out, seeming to drown Shen Long’s figure.
Shen Long’s reaction was quick, his body swayed, avoiding these spells, and with a raise of his right hand, a giant fireball shot out, smashing into the Snow Cloud Spider.
He sacrificed his Zi Mu Blade and attacked the four demonic beasts while taking a Qi Recovery Pill.
Rumbling loudly, the seven demonic beasts kept releasing spells to attack Shen Long, most of them fell short, Shen Long was too nimble, they wanted to attack close up and were stopped by the four sub-blades.
Shen Long seized the opportunity and released a giant fireball that smashed on the Snow Cloud Spider’s body, a red-colored flame flooded the Snow Cloud Spider’s body.
Before the flames dissipated, another giant fireball smashed over.
After receiving seven giant fireballs in a row, the Snow Cloud Spider was heavily injured, its breath withered, and a yellow flying knife shot out, cutting the Snow Cloud Spider in half.
The Green Wind Tiger and Whistling Wind Wolf pounced on Shen Long, releasing green wind blades at the same time, and the Leaving Fire Falcon and Red Fire Crow circled high in the sky without stopping, and with a gentle flap of their wings, each released a dozen or so red-colored fireballs that smashed at Shen Long.
Snow Cloud Python and Fire Cloud Clam released spells to attack Shen Long, and Fire Cloud Clam spat out a long tongue, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long glanced at the Fire Rock Beast, which had been injured.
“I’m giving up on breaking through.”
Shen Long said decisively, if he continued to fight, the Fire Rock Beast might be seriously injured.
He was self-aware and knew that he couldn’t break through, and it was not bad to be able to kill a Snow Cloud Spider.
As soon as the words fell, all these demonic beasts disappeared.
Shen Long collected the Fire Rock Beast and was sent out by the Thousand Demon Pagoda, slowly landing on the ground.
He walked towards Qin Bao, Ye Yuyi, Ye Yutang, Li Lei and the others, Li Lei smiled and said, “Congratulations! Senior Brother Shen, your ranking is definitely not low.”
Li Lei stopped at the thirteenth floor, Shen Long broke through to the sixteenth floor, his ranking was definitely not low.
Shen Long chatted with them and learned that Ye Yuyi and Ye Yutang had also broken through to the sixteenth floor, and they had exterminated four demonic beasts before they stopped breaking through.
Han Shi and Wei Yue were breaking through, they both broke through the sixteenth floor and came to the seventeenth floor, Han Shi killed two demonic beasts and then stopped breaking through, Wei Yue just killed one demonic beast and stopped breaking through.
After half an hour, Shen Long and the other Qing Yun Peak disciples finished breaking through, Liu Xian went to collect the ranking table.
“Han Shi first place, Wei Yue second place —— fiftieth place Li Lei, you look at your own breakthrough results!”
Liu Xian finished reading the ranking table and handed it to Han Shi and the others to check.
Shen Long ranked twenty-fifth, Ye Yuqing sixteenth, Ye Yutang seventeenth, Gu Tianhong twentieth, Tang Yu Ting ranked twenty-first, and Qin Bao thirty-eight.
Ye Yuqing had too many talisman seals in her hand, and the talisman seals she used up after breaking through the barrier could purchase two top-grade magic weapons.
“Alright, all go back with me!”
Liu Xian released the Snowwing Ice Centipede and walked up, Shen Long and the others followed one after another.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the Snowwing Ice Centipede rose up into the air and flew towards high altitude.
Returning to Qing Yun Peak, Shen Long saw quite a number of Qi Refining cultivators gathered at the entrance of Qing Yun Hall, Qian Dafu was also inside.
The Snow Winged Ice Centipede landed at the entrance of the Qing Yun Hall, and Shen Long and the others walked down.
Liu Xian took out the ranking table and read out the list of the top fifty in public, the disciples who squeezed into the top fifty had happy faces from their relatives and friends, and the losers were full of frustration.
“I hope you guys learn from them, in the big competition three years later, I hope you guys can get a good ranking, now according to the ranking to issue rewards, the first place, senior nephew Han, can cultivate in the Qing Yun Hall for one year, rewarded with two thousand spirit stones, a middle-grade magic artifact and two bottles of Spirit Feeding Pills, Wei Yue can cultivate in the Qing Yun Hall for eleven months, rewarded with two thousand spirit stones and two bottles of Spirit Feeding Pills —— Li Lei can cultivate in the Green Cloud Hall for one month, rewarding three hundred spirit stones and a bottle of Qi Enrichment Pills.”
Liu Xian slowly said.
The Qing Yun Hall was built with multiple stone chambers with abundant spiritual energy, and Qi Refining cultivators would cultivate faster when they cultivated in the stone chambers of the Qing Yun Hall.
Shen Long could cultivate in the Qing Yun Hall for half a year, there were also a thousand spirit stones and a bottle of spirit feeding pills, this reward was quite a lot.
The rewards of the small competition were different for different peaks and settlements.
Taking Qing Yun Peak as an example, the more disciples that advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the more Immortal Cultivation resources Qing Yun Peak receives from the Sect, and the higher the welfare benefits for the disciples of Qing Yun Peak will be, and vice versa.
Ye Yuyi and Ye Yutang could cultivate in the Qing Yun Hall for eight months, along with one thousand spirit stones, one bottle of Spirit Feeding Pills and two bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills.
“Disciples who didn’t advance to the top fifty shouldn’t be discouraged, they should cultivate harder and strive to get a good ranking in the next mini competition, disciples who advanced to the top fifty shouldn’t be complacent, some disciples went out on a mission, or had something to do, or were in submerged cultivation and didn’t take part in the mini competition, so that you can squeeze into the top fifty, and three years later in the Grand Competition, I’d like to see your names in the rewards list. I hope to see your names on the reward list three years from now, do you have any confidence?”
Liu Xian said.
“Yes.”
Shen Long and the others said in unison, their voices traveling far.
“Good, if you guys can get a good ranking in the Grand Competition, I’ll celebrate for you.”
Liu Xian said.
“Yes, Uncle Liu.”
Shen Long and the others agreed.
Liu Xian barked a few words and told them to go about their business as he returned to the Green Cloud Hall to cultivate.
“Congratulations! Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Qin, and Senior Brother Li.”
Qian Dafu congratulated them.
“Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Li, we agreed to have a few drinks at my place, so be sure to come, Senior Brother Qian come over as well, and meet me at the Songtao Courtyard in an hour.”
Qin Bao said enthusiastically.
All four of Shen Long did not refuse and agreed.
Returning to Qingmei courtyard, Shen Long walked into a secret room, took out the Royal Spirit Tower, injected mana, and after a burst of eye-catching blue light illuminated, a powerful suction force surged out of thin air, sucking him into the Royal Spirit Tower.
