After the master and disciple duo returned, Daoist Everlasting directly returned to the main peak. After Lin Zheng bid his farewells to Daoist Limitless, he also returned to his own residence. Before he left, Daoist Limitless reminded Lin Fan to rest well in preparation for tomorrow's battle. Even though Daoist Limitless told Lin Zheng that it would be fine if he lost the battle tomorrow, Lin Zheng knew that Daoist Limitless still wished for him to win. According to Daoist Limitless's understanding, besides Li Huayuan and Lin Zheng, whose cultivations were about the same, the rest of the disciples in the second round were all stronger than Lin Zheng's. But Lin Zheng also understood that at this crucial moment, his master was even bringing him out to teach him Symbol Techniques and the usage of the Silver Fallen Sword.

The drawing of lots for the second round of the competition decided the opponent. There were a total of eight competitors, and the winner would enter the top four. The drawing ceremony was presided over by Yan Caixuan. A low level disciple walked to the center of the arena with a round cauldron in his hands.

"This cauldron is the Five-elemental Isolation Tool that Senior Uncle Yu Ming just created. This cauldron can isolate all the spirit energy inside, and as long as fellow disciples extend their hands out, an aura will flow out from the cauldron, temporarily suppressing the spirit energy from the five elements. This way, everyone will use your mortal identity to draw lots, and no one will be able to cheat, which makes the competition even more fair. Yan Caixuan stepped forward and stood in front of the cauldron as she explained. As Yan Caixuan finished her sentence, a series of low murmurs came from the front of the plaza.

Right at this moment, a shadow appeared in front of Daoist Limitless' cave. It was the shadow of Daoist Limitless, but he did not come out. Instead, he turned into a shadow with his spiritual will, and with a flash, he arrived above the plaza. Many disciples bowed and greeted him as the Sect Leader.

"In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm for the martial competition, our Sect Leader has made a decision at the last minute. We will give you a reward for entering the top four. However, I can be sure that the lowest possible rewards will be 50 low-grade Five Elements Spirit Stones each for entering the top four. For those contestants who have performed very well in the competition, they will receive a different reward. After Daoist Limitless said this, the phantasm dimmed, but these words caused a wave of discussion.

Low-grade spirit stones were nothing in the cultivation world, but for these low-grade disciples, fifty low-grade spirit stones was equivalent to twenty-five spirit stones. This was a considerable amount of income. However, for low level cultivators, if they wanted to increase their cultivation base, they would need to absorb too much spirit energy. The amount of free spirit energy in the air would be very slow for their cultivation, and without spirit stones or spirit herbs, they would be able to reach the end of their existence. There was also a better reason, which was because there were a lot of transactions that needed to be completed between the cultivators.

Fifty spirit stones each was an astronomical figure for low level cultivators. Low level cultivators usually took out low grade spirit stones. Basically, they were all low grade spirit stones, and those that didn't had any spirit stones would call them waste stones. This was because the quality of spirit stones was very low and didn't have much value. When Lin Xin was on the Immortal Bei Island, he had seen a lot of useless rocks. When he left the Immortal Bei Island, Wu Yunzi had also given some useless rocks to Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng was also shocked. He had been in the sect for quite some time and knew a lot about spirit stones. Furthermore, when his master Daoist Wuji taught him how to use Silver Luo, he had asked him how much spirit stones he had accumulated. Lin Zheng did not have many spirit stones, but today, Wu Yunzi had given him some. However, when he raised his cultivation to the third layer, he had used up almost all of it and only had one low-grade spirit stone with him. He told his master the truth, and Daoist Everlasting only nodded his head and did not say anything. Lin Zheng was still very disappointed at the time, but now it seemed that Daoist Everlasting had his own plans, and this action was clearly aimed at him. However, this was also Lin Zheng's request. No matter who Lin Zheng met, he would fight with all his might. If not, it would be a disgrace to his master.

In the midst of the discussions, Yan Zhaoxuan announced the start of the drawing of lots for the competition. The first was Gu Yu, the second was Qiu Tingting, the two of them could be said to be the seeds of the competition, and they were both women, so it was only natural that Lin was the sixth to go up on stage and draw lots. He stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingers touched the mouth of the small cauldron, a cold feeling came over him, his arm shook, followed by his whole body, the moment the cold air entered his body, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body could no longer be raised, Lin Zheng knew that this should be the true purpose of the cauldron. He grabbed a wooden tablet and pulled his hand out. He turned around and looked down. There was a number six on it. Lin Zheng did not understand and quietly waited for the draw to end.

After the lottery draw was over, the lower level disciples removed the cauldron and Yan Caixuan once again walked onto the stage, announcing the rules of the match.

"All participants, you all have a number on your wooden plates. There are a total of one to eight of them, and according to this, those who draw one will fight against those who draw two, and those who draw three will fight against those who draw four, and so on, five against six, seven against eight. Everyone, look at your brand now. " Yan Zhaoxuan said.

At this moment, Qiu Tingting raised the sign in her hand, which read "Hao Ran". Without saying anything, Qiu Tingting walked up the stage, because since he drew the number one, she should be right, which meant she would be the first one on the stage. Then, who would be the one to be facing off against a person who was close to perfection in his five element foundation cultivation technique? At this moment, a low murmur of discussion came from the square. No one wanted to fight with this seeded contestant, so the result would be the same. All the contestants turned towards Gu Yu, hoping that this contestant would fight with Qiu Tingting.

"Senior sister, it seems that today is my misfortune. Senior sister, please show mercy and guide me." Just when everyone was looking at Gu Yu, Gu Yu unexpectedly opened her mouth.

When Qiu Tingting saw that her opponent was Gu Yu, she was also surprised. After all, the two of them were chosen by the Seeds and didn't want to fight too early. But today, the heavens were fair, but the two of them had already fought in the first battle. The current situation meant that the finals had been prematurely staged.

The two of them stood in the center of the square, because they were both seeded contestants, all the lower level disciples retreated towards the border, afraid that their actions would affect them. Lin Zheng was no exception, he did not want to stand too close and eat nothing.

"Junior has made rapid progress in these few years, and you also have the Green Lotus Diagram that I passed down to you as my master. I think you'll have to show mercy in this match. Don't let me embarrass myself too much." Qiu Tingting said with a serious expression.

These past few years, Qiu Tingting's cultivation had also stagnated, and then she also wanted to break through to the ninth layer of her foundation cultivation technique and enter the later stages of the Dao Building Stage. This way, she could save enough time to lay the foundation for her future refining of her magic tools. When his master, Daoist Wuji, entered the eighth layer of the foundation Qi Method, he had given him a flying sword called the Flowing Water Sword. Recently, Daoist Limitless came out, but Daoist Limitless paid more attention to Lin Zheng, ignoring Qiu Tingting and didn't provide any further guidance to her cultivation. So this time, Daoist Limitless didn't have much use to her, and also Daoist Limitless didn't give her any good magical equipment.

"Senior Sister is too modest. Senior Sister's Soft Water Sword is also one of the best magic tools. I'm afraid junior sister's Blue Lotus Art cannot compare with it." Gu Yu said.

The two of them were polite to each other for a moment before each channeling their own mana and using their own magic tools. Qiu Tingting pointed forward with her finger. Following her finger, a treasured sword flew out from her storage bag. The sword was aqua blue in color and was completely transparent. It flew out and emitted a blue light that dazzled people's eyes. Qiu Tingting yelled, "Divide!" That soft water sword glowed with a blue light and split into five, forming five swords that floated around Qiu Tingting. At the same time, Gu Yu also activated her Fa Li. A purple light flashed from her bag of holding and an object flew out. It was a scroll. The scroll flickered with light as it began to unfurl. The scroll was a picture of a lotus flower with a green lotus flower in the middle, surrounded by lotus flowers and lotus leaves. When the picture scroll was opened, the lotus flower in the picture scroll seemed to have come to life. Light flashed and turned into many lotuses that floated out of the picture scroll. After a while, there were over a thousand lotuses floating in the air. "However, at this time, both lotus flowers and lotus leaves were cut off at their roots, leaving only a few lotus stems floating in the air. At this time, Gu Yu was floating in the middle of the lotus flowers and lotus leaves, looking even more like a fairy out of the mundane world.

Qiu Tingting wasn't shocked by the lotus, but when she looked at the scroll above Gu Yu's body, she was shocked. She knew that once she executed Gu Yu's Green Lotus Diagram, when the lotus flowers and lotus flowers turned into light symbols and floated in the air, the scroll above her body turned pale and disappeared. But when the Blue Lotus Diagram flew out, it did not fade and disappear. So it turns out that Gu Yu had already refined the Green Lotus Diagram to such a degree. If the Green Lotus Diagram had already been refined into a magical formation, then this Green Lotus Diagram could also be compared to magic treasures.

According to common sense, cultivators who didn't have complete mastery over their cultivation techniques would have no way to refine magic formations and use magic items. Gu Yu was clearly at the eighth layer of cultivation technique. There was no reason for her to refine a formation into a magic tool. The only explanation was that this formation should have been refined by her master, Fairy Chi Lian.

Just as Qiu Tingting was in a daze, Gu Yu could see that Qiu Tingting was shocked. She shouted, "Flower Rain Showers the Sky". With her soft shout, many pink lotuses silently appeared on Qiu Ting's body. As soon as the lotuses appeared, they immediately fell down. Although the lotuses seemed to be descending slowly, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Gravity added on her body, Qiu Tingting's body bent, and at this moment, Qiu Tingting woke up. Fortunately, she had also been on the battlefield, so she used a move that was as easy as turning her body around, and at the same time, she shouted out "Giant waves that reached the sky". Her voice was like a silver bell, and was very pleasant to hear, but as she shouted out, the entire valley instantly turned into a sea of water, not water but fantasy, but based on the water's function, once the water appeared, a huge water column would appear, and attack the lotus flower in the sky …

Just as the two seeded contestants were fighting, a fat man who looked like a meatball pushed his way through the crowd of disciples towards Lin Zheng. When he arrived in front of Lin Zheng, he squatted down and looked at Lin Zheng, thinking that it was a grown-up coaxing a little kid.

"Senior apprentice-brother, senior apprentice-brother!" The meaty face was right next to Lin Zheng's ear. It wasn't loud, but Lin Zheng's ears were still ringing from the shout. Lin Zheng turned his head and looked at the person in front of him, whose face was about to be squeezed out of his flesh, and immediately recognized him as Li Huayuan.

"Wait a moment, let's read it first." At this moment, Lin Zheng was in no mood to answer him.

"Senior Brother, what number are you? If we're opponents, I won't fight. I've decided to forfeit." Senior brother, look at your number, help me. "

Lin Zheng subconsciously raised the number plate in his hand. There was a "6" written on it. Li Huayuan looked at it for a moment, scratched his head, and left with a look of impatience. Squeezing to the next seat, Lin Zheng ignored Li Huayuan's movements and just turned to take a look. At this moment, Li Huayuan had already squeezed in front of Ding Luo. He wanted to make a decision on how to respond. "This time, he obviously got a close shave. A moment later, Lin realized that Li Huayuan had left Ding Luo and moved on to someone else. However, this matter was not easy to resolve. It was as if he had gotten a close shave.

Just when Lin Zheng tilted his head to look at Li Huayuan, he was shocked by Gu Yu's shout and turned his head. In the sky, Qiu Tingting's five swords were like two beams of light, flying towards Gu Yu. Along with the voice, she waved her hands and the floating lotuses and leaves all disappeared. Then, with a flash, they appeared around Gu Yu's body, and the lotuses and leaves squeezed each other and interweaved, immediately forming a huge flower ball. Once the flower ball was formed, Qiu Tingting's five flying swords shot out and struck the flower ball. She tried to draw out the sword with her hands, but was unable to use his technique. She recited the incantation, but the five swords were still unable to protrude the flower ball, and the five swords fell out of the quagmire, unable to break free.

Qiu Tingting could not do it. He hastily took out a few spell paper, which burned in the air with a flash of light, then transformed into different light swords and blades slashing at the flower ball. What surprised her was that the spell paper flower turned into a light sword and disappeared into the flower ball as if there was nothing on it. What surprised Qiu Tingting even more was that she didn't know what Gu Yu was doing in the ball of flowers. Since he couldn't draw out the sword and her body had no protection, she took out a few more talismans. With a flash of light, two shields of light appeared beside her and the four swords started moving around her body.

Just then, a soft shout came from the ball of flowers, "Receive!" The sound came very suddenly, but Qiu Tingting was prepared. But after the sound, there was no light and no object flew out of the ball of flowers. Just when Qiu Tingting was suspicious, he suddenly felt a huge suction force above her head. The six glowing weapons were sucked away from her body, and the suction force was getting stronger and stronger. Qiu Tingting's clothes were sucked away, revealing her snow-white thighs. A sigh immediately came from the square. Qiu Tingting was shocked. She could no longer control her body and was sucked into the air.
