"Patriarch, everything has been arranged. The final competition will be held in three days. Will you attend?" Yi Liang reported. "The masters of all the halls are present." "How are your competition rewards set up?" "The top ten will receive one Foundation Building Pill, the top three will receive one bottle of Yang Yuan Pill and one Foundation Building Pill, and the first place will receive two Foundation Building Pills." "Not enough. The top ten will have the opportunity to exchange for three high-level spells, the top three will get a top-level magic weapon, and the first place will be rewarded with a fine top-level magic weapon." "Take my jade token and inform the Imperial Academy and the Weapon Refining Department." "Yes." Yi Liang retreated. “I didn’t expect that you have such great authority. A sixth-grade alchemist in the late stage of foundation building would be so respectful to you.”
A person came out from behind the curtain with a thin chain around her neck. It was Tian Mi. "That's because I am fair and strict, and I lead them step by step onto the right track." "Just lie. It's obvious that they are afraid of your Jindan cultivation." Yi Jue flipped his wrist, and Tian Mi flew towards him uncontrollably. Yi Jue held Tian Mi's slender neck tightly, and with a little force, Tian Mi's fair face turned red. "Who gave you the confidence to be so bold in front of a Jindan cultivator?" "Not only did you come to see me alone, but you also dared to provoke me." "I... dare to be so... bold, of course, because, this is the intention of my, father. Ahem." Feeling the strength on her neck gradually weakening, Tian Mi naturally took the time to explain. "Your father?" Yi Jue sneered. Yi Jue knew the man in front of him when he was practicing Qi, and later he knew even more deeply that he was a madman. Tian Mi ignored the sarcasm in Yi Jue's eyes and said with a smile. "Yes, it's the green-haired turtle." "But it was also him who began to suspect that you were going to make some move." "Tell me, if you were the sect master, and there was a group of cultivators near the sect who set up their own sect and were very powerful, would you be able to sleep peacefully?" "If this force is still restless and starts to show signs of causing trouble, do you think they are targeting you?" Tian Mi was smiling at first, but her tone became serious later on. It was obvious that she wanted to tell Yi Jue that this was true. Yi Jue didn't care about this matter at all. After all, Huangquan Valley was not planning to do anything to Hehuan Sect at this time. The time was not yet ripe. What he was doing now was just to better establish a foundation in the Chaos Star Sea. "Go back and tell your father that he is worrying too much." "Whether you believe it or not is none of my business." As he said that, he swung his hand and threw Tian Mi hard against the wall.
"Also, if it happens again, you will never be able to leave my sight alive." Tian Mi fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time. Her slender index finger stroked across her neck, leaving red marks there, obviously caused by Yi Jue's pinching. There was a hint of madness in the obsession in his eyes, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care. After he regained consciousness, he slowly got up, summoned a brocade handkerchief, sat on it, and slowly flew out of the Yellow Springs Valley. "You stinky man, I must get you, get you, and make you kneel in front of me, wag your tail and beg for mercy." Tian Mi gritted her teeth, fear flashed across her face, and flew straight towards the Hehuan Sect. On the other side, Yi Jue had returned to the room and started practicing. For Jindan cultivators, the daily progress of their practice seems invisible, but it is precisely because of this day-to-day practice that their magic power improves day by day. Speaking of which, the patriarch's office is also equipped with a spiritual vein in the lounge, which is exclusively for the patriarch's use. After all, the patriarch has a lot of tedious work to do and he often stays here. If it is too far away from the cave, it would be a waste of time. Therefore, such training rooms were equipped. Not only the clan leader, but also the heads of the original three palaces and fifteen halls had such lounges. However, only the training rooms of the masters of the three palaces provided the spiritual energy for the Jindan cultivators to practice, while the rest provided the spiritual energy for the foundation-building cultivators to practice. Nowadays, all these benefits are retained, but the lounges for the three palace masters are temporarily vacant. Yi Jue also plans to convert all these training rooms into rooms for use by foundation-building cultivators. In this way, more people can benefit. Time passed quickly during his cultivation. By the time the restriction was triggered and Yi Jue woke up from his cultivation, it was already three days later. "Chief, the competition has reached its final round, and the top ten will be decided today." After Yi Jue came out, Yi Liang immediately began to report. "How long until it starts? Let's just go." The two of them flew all the way to the arena. There was not much time left before the start. A row of spectator seats were built on the main stand, with only a few people sitting in the seats. After Yi Jue arrived, everyone present stood up and bowed. "Clan leader." "No need to be restrained. Today, I would like to invite you to come and see the talented juniors in Huangquan Valley." "You must know that if the youth are strong, our Yi family will be strong, and if the youth are strong, the future will be strong." "All Dan formations were once Qi training. I hope you all will not forget this." Everyone responded solemnly, "Yes, Patriarch." Many people with sharp eyes and ears in the stands were paying attention to the situation on the main stand, and some clever ones heard this conversation. After spreading the news to each other, by the time the competition began, everyone already knew that the clan leader was a person who valued the future, the young, and had a long-term vision. "Today's competition is mainly to determine the top ten and top three." "Seven of the top ten have been confirmed. We will play three more matches today to decide the remaining three. Then the top ten list will be announced." "Today's first match, number one A vs number one B, please come on stage." After three games, the top ten were revealed. The subsequent series of battles decided the top three.
"Yi Huai, Yi Zhengming, Yi Ke, the three of you are the top three in this competition. Considering your performance in the previous battle, Yi Zhengming is now temporarily ranked first. If you two have any ideas, you can challenge him on the spot." It turned out that in the previous battle, Yi Zhengming had never been defeated with his long sword under the brilliant sword energy. Even though the battle between the top three was very difficult to win, he still won the reputation as the best attacker among the Qi-training monks. Therefore, Yi Liang made the decision directly. Of course, if someone wanted to challenge him, Yi Liang would not stop them. It’s just that everyone has seen the previous battles and has a rough idea of what’s going on. If it’s a challenge now and there’s no trump card, there’s no need to watch it much. As expected, the remaining two gave up after hesitating for a while. After all, they all knew that the demon cultivators were the most capable of judging the situation. To use a trump card that might risk their lives for a foundation-building pill, and there was no guarantee of victory, the risk far outweighed the reward. (End of this chapter)
