Chapter 154: The outer sect grand competition

Translator: 549690339

After arranging for Xiao CI to be a servant, PEI Ling suddenly thought of something. &Quot; by the way, the life-loathing saber still contains the origin of Blood River sword. Quickly take it out and use it! &Quot;

He quickly took out the life loathing blade from his storage bag.

The originally pale white bone blade was now completely red, as if it had been dyed in blood.

The entire saber had originally been cold and sinister, but now it was filled with a thick and vicious aura, and even the weight of the saber had become much heavier.

Seeing this, PEI Ling could not help but be stunned. He soon realized that the Blood River sword’s source could no longer be taken out!

This source of power had been completely absorbed by the life loathing blade. Now that the two had merged into one, if he took it out by force, it would definitely cause the life loathing blade to break.

After being stunned for a while, PEI Ling frowned, picked up the life loathing knife, and waved it a few times. He realized that the power had increased greatly. With just a little bit of force, the blade would generate its own blade Qi, revealing its sharp edge and threatening coldness.

If it were not for the protective talismans around the martial arts practice field, a casual attack would probably destroy more than half of the entire lanchun courtyard.

“Not bad, not bad.” PEI Ling was very satisfied. Even though the origin of the Blood River sword could no longer be used for other purposes, it was still a good thing to be able to strengthen his main weapon.

In the following days, he didn’t leave the house at all. Every day, other than cultivating, he was refining pills.

Occasionally, he would study the small vocabulary and discover that this ninth-stage Qi refining vengeful spirit had a total of four spells. One of them was the shriek that vengeful spirits could use, which could shock the divine soul; The second was the soul claw. Once caught, the physical body would be damaged, but the soul would be injured. The light case would cause dizziness, and the serious case would cause the soul to shatter on the spot and die. The third was soul-eating, which could recover and even grow by devouring the same kind. The fourth was possession, which could only be used on cultivators with lower cultivation and a weaker soul. It could control the other party for a short time.

“It can be used at a crucial moment to catch the opponent off guard.” PEI Ling thought to himself, but if I meet a real expert like Tang Nanzhai, I’ll have to do it myself.

After he taught Xiao CI some basic conversing and common sense through the art of managing ghosts, he focused his energy on continuing to improve his cultivation.

A month later, PEI Ling once again brought many medicinal pills to the small courtyard of withered orchid.

Perhaps it was because of Jin sumian’s matter, Zheng Jingshan was still angry when he saw PEI Ling this time. He did not have any intention of ‘giving’ him any ‘benefits’ and settled the spiritual stones accordingly. This made PEI Ling heave a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that this senior brother Zheng would spend a huge sum of money to buy him a pile of pill recipes for essence cultivating pills, Vitality Pills, and soul calming pills.

After keeping the spirit stones and taking the materials that Zheng Jingshan had prepared, PEI Ling quickly left the inner sect and returned to the lanchun courtyard to continue cultivating and refining pills …

Time passed by quickly. By the third month, PEI Ling’s cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi disciple level 9, and the outer sect competition’s preliminary round had officially begun!

The Zhong gang sect’s outer sect competition was held once every ten years, and all late-stage Qi refining disciples could participate.

There were many mountains in the outer sect. There were three rounds of preliminary competition, and they were all held on the main peaks.

PEI Ling had specifically mentioned to Jiang Liang in the steward’s Hall that even though glory sect did not require disciples to only stay at the peak they were assigned to, he was required to head to the scholartree Yin peak where he had registered when he entered the sect to participate in the preliminaries.

Ever since he entered the heavy ocean sect, PEI Ling had either been on the move or stayed in elixir peak. As for scholartree Yin peak, he was not familiar with it.

After returning to the scholartree Yin peak, he first went to the hall of Affairs. After asking for the location of the preliminary competition, he hurriedly went to the battle stage.

At this moment, the battle stage was already surrounded by people.

However, if one looked closely, one would realize that most of them were mid-stage Qi refining disciples. A portion of them were late-stage Qi refining disciples, but they were only at Level 7 Qi refining.

Disciples above the eighth level of the Qi refining stage were actually as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin horns.

From the whispers of these people, the vast majority of people were here to watch the show and had no intention of going on stage at all.

This made PEI Ling a little suspicious, but he still walked behind a seventh-stage Qi refining cultivator and started lining up.

Because there were not many people interested in participating, it was his turn very soon.

The person in charge of the registration was a skinny middle-aged cultivator. His aura was tightly concealed, and his strength could not be seen. He asked without raising his head, ” “Name and cultivation level?”

“PEI Ling,” PEI Ling said, ” ninth-stage Qi refinement realm. &Quot;

The cultivator had just started writing with his purple brush when he immediately stopped and looked up at PEI Ling. &Quot; PEI Ling of the PEI family of Luquan City? ”

Seeing PEI Ling nod his head, he narrowed his eyes and continued to help PEI Ling register.

Finally, he pushed a bamboo tube forward. &Quot; smoke. &Quot;

PEI Ling casually picked up a lot with [ a, 12 ] written on it.

According to Jiang Liang, the rules for all three rounds of the preliminary round were the same. They would draw lots first, then go on stage for a one-on-one battle. The winner would advance, and the loser would be eliminated.

The rules were simple. Strength was important, but luck was also important.

&Quot; stage a, No. 12. Your opponent is stage a, No. 11. &Quot; The cultivator looked at the lot and said, ” after everyone has drawn their lot, the competition will begin immediately. You should wait next to arena A. &Quot; Remember, if I Call Your Name three times and you don’t get on stage, I’ll consider it as giving up.”

“Yes!”

Watching PEI Ling leave, the cultivator’s expression was calm. After registering a few more people, he saw a pale-faced cultivator with a sinister expression slowly walk forward.”Tian congheng, ninth level of the Qi refining stage.”

After his name was registered, Tian congheng was about to draw a lot. However, the middle-aged cultivator drew a lot for him first.

“A11.” He threw the lot to Tian congheng. &Quot; in the past outer sect tournaments, all methods are not allowed. Even if you kill your opponent, you will not be punished by the sect. &Quot;

Tian congheng looked at his opponent in surprise. Then, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile, turned around, and strode toward arena A.

The middle-aged cultivator smiled and ordered the servant beside him, ” &Quot; go and tell concubine Xiao that I’ve avenged nephew siguang for her. In return, I want the spirit stones she has saved for nephew siguang. &Quot;

He was Li Ping’s son and one of Li Siguang’s uncles.

Although he didn’t care about his nephew’s death, since he had met the murderer and could take advantage of the opportunity to earn some benefits, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.

… PEI Ling was waiting by the side of arena A.

The competition was very lively. Although it had not started yet, there was already a crowd near the ring.

There were also people who were the banker on the spot, placing bets on the winner of the preliminaries for their peak.

PEI Ling had wanted to bet on himself to win and earn a small sum of money, but when he went over to ask, the banker did not even list his name …

However, although they had never heard of PEI Ling’s name, they could tell that PEI Ling’s cultivation was higher than theirs, so the Zhuang family’s attitude was rather friendly. &Quot; “This senior brother, may I know which arena you are betting on, PEI Ling? What cultivation level? What was his major? Weapon grade? His grasp of the evasion technique? And …”

“PEI Ling is a piece of trash. What does the outer sect tournament have to do with him? You’re still betting on him?” Before he could finish his sentence, a sneer suddenly came from not far away. &Quot; Zhuang family, are you tired of having too many spirit stones? ”

PEI Ling turned his head and saw a male cultivator looking at him with disdain. In front of him, sun Yinglan was dressed in beautiful clothes and was surrounded by pearls and Jade. She was gorgeously dressed and was surrounded by bootlickers. PEI Hongnian was also among them.

When he saw PEI Ling, PEI Hongnian immediately frowned.”PEI Ling! Where have you been all this time? Why can’t I find you anywhere?”

Before PEI Ling could reply, Zhao Yan, who had spoken sarcastically earlier, had already interjected, ” “Hehe, you clearly promised Senior Sister sun that you would do your best to draw talismans for her, but you still have the time to look for your useless cousin? PEI Hongnian, you really don’t care about Senior Sister sun!”
