ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 168: BOSS
Just as rumored by the outside world, the top three hundred people will be sent to a Torch-level secret realm for free exploration.

"The secret place you are about to go to is called Shizhou."

The three hundred cultivators at the scene were listening attentively. Du Xinghe took a glance and saw some disciples from large sects and aristocratic families showing understanding expressions on their faces.

It is said that each session goes to a different place, but there are always some repeated places. Most of them have the elders in their family looking over the questions in advance.

Chi Wenxing went on: "You will be teleported to different continents among the ten continents. Look for spirit beasts or spirit herbs with the mark of soul flowers. Killing them will give you a soul flower. The more soul flowers you get, the more points you will get..."

"The top ninety people who obtain the most soul flowers will receive the lowest tier of rewards."

"The top sixty, the top thirty, the top ten, the top three..."

“There are increasing rewards!”

"When the total number of soul flowers you and another person obtain is the same, your ranking will be determined based on the time it takes you to kill the spirit beast and your injuries."

The cultivator next to Chi Wenxing brought a ferocious-looking lightning rat and showed it to everyone.

A translucent white peony was floating on the forehead of this lightning rat. It had been growling at people, but it immediately became quiet in front of Chi Wenxing and lay on the ground. She picked up the lightning rat, grabbed its neck and twisted it gently. It didn't even have the slightest chance to struggle before it stretched out its four legs and remained motionless.

In contrast, the peony on its forehead was instantly dyed bright red.

"After the soul flower changes color, inject a bit of your own spiritual power into it and you can take it away."

As soon as she finished speaking, the soul flower was sucked into the back of her hand and turned into a petal.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now!"

Chi Wenxing's eyes slowly swept over the crowd.

Her cultivation was extremely high, and even if she had concealed her imposing aura in advance, a casual glance was enough to make these cultivators hold their breath and not dare to question her words.

The scene was silent for a while, and the monk next to her whispered this to her, and she was startled, and took two breaths to adjust herself with a mixture of laughter and tears. This time, a monk finally dared to ask: "Can I get the soul flower he took from other monks? If so, how do I calculate the time it takes to kill the spirit beast?"

Everyone looked at him with surprise and disbelief.

——It is obvious that killing people for treasures is an inevitable part of a monk's career, but it is always discouraged in such righteous occasions. Just like at this moment, the male monk asked a question that most of the monks present wanted to know. The way he looked at him at this moment was as if he had asked a question that was extremely blasphemous.

Everyone maintains a tacit understanding of "I won't tell you if you don't ask, and I'll be surprised if you ask."

A monk from a small sect disagreed and said, "When considering this kind of question, are you just thinking about snatching it from others?"

"No," the man was also smart: "I mean to obtain it from other cultivators - can't he volunteer? If the total number of soul flowers obtained by our sect is too small, and a single one can't even make it into the top 60, then we can gather all the petals and transfer them to the eldest sister."

The former bit his back molars.

If soul flowers can be traded voluntarily, then the large sects will have a huge advantage!

In response to this, Deputy Alliance Leader Chi Wenxing gave a positive answer:
"can!"

"Before you enter the secret realm, we will give each of you a talisman to protect your heart meridian. The talisman can block a fatal attack. A protective barrier will be expanded with you as the center. The barrier can last for half an incense stick of time, during which time you will be teleported out of the secret realm."

"The talisman only protects your lives. You will be responsible for all other losses!"

"After the talisman is triggered, all the soul flowers on your body will rise outside the barrier, waiting to be taken away by the next person who finds it."

"Soul flowers obtained from cultivators have higher priority than those obtained from spirit beasts."

These words again indicate that the Immortal Alliance is indeed encouraging cultivators to fight for the Soul Flowers.

It is no longer a fixed number of clearances.

But compare with others.

Even if there is only one, as long as others don’t have any, you will still be the first!
In the secret realm, you cannot know the number of other people, so the more soul flowers you get, the better.

"Junior sister, junior sister."

Zheng Tianlu called out, and also greeted Canshui and Xinyue.

The three people came over to listen. He said, "This ten continents should come from the "Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea". Legend has it that in the Shenwei area of ​​the West Sea, there grows the magical herb Ganoderma lucidum that can make mortals immortal... This should be a lie, but most of the information is true. Remember, the ten continents are - Xuanzhou, Yingzhou, Liuzhou, Yuanzhou, Changzhou, Shengzhou, Zuzhou, Yanzhou, Fenglinzhou and Jukuzhou. The scenery on each continent is different."

"The Immortal Grass is in Zuzhou, the Sweet Spring is in Yingzhou, and there are wind-generating beasts and fire-light beasts in Yanzhou... Among them, the one with the most spiritual beasts is Jukuzhou! It is said that the mountains on Jukuzhou are shaped like humans and birds, and there are countless strange beasts on the mountains. Isn't there an important medicinal ingredient in Shenggudan called the heart of the Soul-Returning Tree? This Soul-Returning Tree grows on Jukuzhou. If you hit this tree hard, the tree will make a strange sound similar to the roar of a bull. Even a Jindan cultivator will be shocked when hearing it."

Zheng Tianlu carefully told them what he knew. He paused and said, "However, I suspect that the place the Immortal Alliance asked you to go to is not a secret realm at all, nor is it the real Ten Continents."

“How come you see?”

"The real Ten Continents are huge, and you have to take a flying boat to go back and forth. I can understand that the top three hundred have high skills and can easily reduce a place to ruins when using magic. Only a big stage can truly show your strength, but it is still too big. If you put three hundred cultivators in it, you may not meet another cultivator for a month, plus..."

Zheng Tianlu lowered his voice and motioned for his junior sister to follow his line of sight and glance upwards:
"Senior Chi is a master of space magic. The Medicine King Realm is her work for our Miaohuo Sect a long time ago. She is best at combining the real and the unreal and turning the big into the small... Of course, these are my personal guesses and are not important."

Shenshui: "Uncle Master, you have a deep understanding of these ten continents!"

Zheng Tianlu: "Hey, I just checked the Dao forum with the jade book."

While the two were talking, Chi Wenxing above them raised her bare hands and patted them gently.

This palm strike was made on the air, but it created waves, and the space was rippled, revealing a thick fog. The immortal bell rang loudly, and when the thick fog dissipated, a mountain loomed at the end, with a faint golden light covering the top of the mountain.

"All monks, set off!"

Departure, how to depart?

Are they all going to fly to that door? Three hundred people, pushing forward?

Soon, everyone discovered the trick——

There was no need to fly into the thick fog. They took a step forward and came to a completely different space, and they could only move forward. Some people wanted to turn back and say goodbye to the master, but they found that they were stopped by a strong sense of obstruction and had to move forward.

"Take care, Junior Sister!"

Du Xinghe walked the fastest and she didn't look back.

After a dizzy spell, she fell into the mud, her feet soaking in icy water.

Du Xinghe took a deep breath. The highly humid air made her feel like she was sucking a handful of water into her lungs. She looked around -

The climate here is very similar to the witch tribe's homeland. Looking up, I am in a concave basin. The place where the stream should have flowed is now separated by the remains of a giant beast. Water can still flow, but the flow rate has been greatly slowed down, which also provides space for moss and small fish to grow.

At this time, half of her body was immersed in the water, feeling cool.

Du Xinghe stood up and cast a spell, and his body was dry again.

At the same time, outside Xihe Garden, all the accompanying personnel could view the scenery of the Ten Continents at will through the jade tablet, and even could hear clearly what each cultivator said after landing.

This move made many monks from small sects stunned.

What a technology!

We didn't even dare to think about it. The sect leader had been talking about building something similar for 800 years, but he only built one at the entrance of the sect.

Why didn’t you tell me in advance?

If there are disciples among my family who have low quality and like to curse others, I will be very disappointed at this time.

In addition to the jade tablet in his hand, there was also a huge water mirror placed in the center of Xihe Garden, which simultaneously played the images of the three hundred participants. Once a participant was eliminated, the image would disappear, and the vacant space would be occupied by the survivors.

The later you live, the bigger the picture.

As for monks who are in similar positions, they will be arranged side by side in the picture.

"Look where Junior Sister has landed!"

Zheng Tianlu was looking for his junior sister and nephews. Du Xinghe was in a basin, Xinyue fell on the deck of a broken ship, and Shenshui was staring at a golden Buddha in the temple. He thought to himself, "It's not good, they are so far away! They are not even on the same continent... There are quite a lot of people in Luosha Valley where my junior sister is, but fortunately, their cultivation is not as good as hers."

Around the scene of Crossing the Galaxy, there are five monks who also look confused.

They are still observing the environment and dare not act rashly.

The valley was filled with a strong smell of wild beasts, but it was quiet and no small spirit beasts were seen.

In this case, there is only one possibility.

"There must be a spirit beast above the Jindan stage in the valley. We have fallen into its territory!"

The blue-robed monk whispered.

He felt that he was extremely lucky. The deputy leader had clearly said that the monks would be randomly scattered in different locations, but he and his fellow Taoists landed not far away. When the two of them met eyes, they were both surprised...

Haha, random delivery is great!

Without further ado, they exchanged glances and decided to act together in a low-key manner.

In a place like this, exposing yourself to other cultivators and spiritual beasts is not a good thing!
Smart people like him always plan before taking action...

The blue-robed monk suppressed his aura and moved along the edge of the basin with his fellow Taoist.

Just then, the sound of splashing water was heard in the valley as someone walked past.

Who?
But a female cultivator in a white robe flew to a tree on a sword. The tree looked ugly, with a trunk like an enlarged bamboo shoot and sparse green flowers growing on the top. She drew out the heavy sword at her back and hit the tree with the back of the sword.

Before they could identify the sword, they were instantly frightened by the roar of a bull and could not move.

When the blue-robed monk came to his senses, something even more bizarre happened.

This roar seemed to have activated one of his magical powers. He could vaguely see all the living things in Luosha Valley! All the obstructions were ineffective! He even saw the figure of an adult man sitting in the dilapidated house opposite!

Just when the blue-robed monk thought that he had awakened his bloodline magic, he saw his fellow Taoist looking at him with surprise.

"This should be the impact caused by the tree being hit." The blue-robed monk said with a bitter face.

Everyone was exposed.

Including himself, there were six people in the valley, and a giant beast.

Who is that person knocking on the tree? He is acting so recklessly!

The fellow Taoist of the blue-robed monk said indignantly: "Although we are exposed, she is still the most conspicuous. If we have to fight, we will definitely fight her first! We will hide. If others don't offend us, we won't offend others."

"it is good."

He was right. The eyes of the five people in Rakshasa Valley were all focused on the female cultivator on the tree.

She stood high in the valley, overlooking the entire scene. After casting the spell, her voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the valley:

"Five people, huh? You can go now."

Her tone was flat, without any extra emotion, but it was just a notice after all, and it sounded particularly harsh to everyone's ears.

They all fell into this valley, why should they leave?

Some people with a bad temper asked back: "Why?"

"It's okay if you don't leave,"

Du Xinghe said calmly: "I'll beat you after beating the spirit beast, it's a convenient thing to do."

When it landed here, it scratched her hair band. She summoned Xiaopang out and let it bite its tail, turning into a circle. She then put her long hair back on her head, revealing her face.

The next second, the five monks turned around and ran at the same time.

The person who asks why runs the fastest.

The blue-robed monk followed closely behind, cursing as he ran: "Damn random drop, why did they drop us next to the Duxing River!!!"

All staff have been honest.

After this commotion, the sleeping master of Rakshasa Valley was finally awakened.

There was a shaking sensation all around, and the skeleton of the giant beast on the ground actually moved. On top of the huge skull, there was a small, inconspicuous snow-white soul flower.

The Xue Ming sword was unsheathed.

The giant beast's skeleton suddenly rose up, let out a silent roar, and attacked Du Xinghe.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the beast turned back into a skeleton. ——It changed from a complete and huge skeleton to scattered broken bones.

Du Xinghe flew to the head with her sword, placed her hand on the skull that she had chopped ten times with the sword, and injected a trace of spiritual power. The red soul flower on it immediately turned into a wisp of smoke, merged into the back of her hand, and turned into a petal.

The beast looks scary, but it's not very strong.

At least to her, it was not enough to pose any threat.

Compared to her ease, other cultivators who encountered spirit beasts with soul flowers were not so relaxed and happy.

The blue-robed monk represents the strategy of the vast majority of participants - find companions as soon as possible to act together, avoid powerful spirit beasts when encountering them, and try to kill a lone, weak spirit beast alone if encountering one.

Not all spirit beasts with soul flowers are particularly powerful. Some are so weak that even foundation-building cultivators can easily kill them.

This gap caused a lot of discussion among the monks who were watching the water mirror.

Chi Wenxing said: "Luck is also a part of a cultivator's strength. Being able to find weak spirit beasts to kill is also their ability."

As her mind moved, the image of one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the water mirror was enlarged.

Many of the top three hundred were Jindan cultivators, and those in the Foundation Establishment stage were considered unimportant among them.

But the foundation-building monk in the picture was asking the trees everywhere -

"Have you seen a spirit beast with a flower on its head? Hmm... Not too powerful, weaker than me, preferably one I can defeat."

"Please, this is really important to me!"

The little round-faced male cultivator put his palms together and begged the trees he saw pitifully, even nodding and bowing to them, wishing he could kowtow on the spot.

It is said that all things have spirits, but those trees don’t even have any spiritual energy. Can they really communicate with him?

After a while, he laughed in surprise: "It really exists? Please lead the way for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leaves began to rustle in rhythm without wind.

The lowered branches all point in the same direction.

Under the guidance of the woods, he really found a wind-chasing squirrel with a snow-white soul flower on its head in the dense forest. The squirrel was no different from ordinary animals except that it ran faster and was smaller in size. The foundation-building cultivator easily captured it, killed it and took away the soul flower.

He buried the dead squirrel under the tree: "I'll treat you to some food, thank you."

Compared to him, the other cultivators who couldn't wait to engage in a thrilling fight with the spiritual beasts they encountered for the first time after arriving in the secret realm looked ridiculous.

In addition to those cultivators who have special tricks to find weak spiritual beasts, there are also some cultivators who are good at concealing their aura and only attack spiritual beasts that they can defeat.

"Look, don't worry too much,"

Tian Xiao said: "Your junior sister is almost invincible at the same level. I can't think of anyone who can hurt her. You should trust her more."

"Believe is believe, worry is worry!"

Having said that, after seeing Du Xinghe scare off five people effortlessly and easily kill the giant beast skeleton, Zheng Tianlu moved to the picture of Xinyue and Shenshui and began the second round of worry.

Xinyue is the only one who has no living people around her.

She searched the wreckage and found seven bodies lying inside. All of the bodies were covered with corpse spots, which showed that they had been dead for a long time. However, in such hot weather, the bodies showed no signs of decay. Only black flowers grew on their faces.

Xinyue walked to the pile of dead bodies and squatted down: "It's not this kind of flower..."

She reached out and plucked one, putting it into her storage ring:

"Take it back and show it to Master."

There was a hint of sweet joy in the words.

She found a highly corrupted corpse king in the bottom cabin. The corpse king's body was covered with those strange black flowers, and a transparent flower was floating above his forehead...

"I originally planned to find my master first, and then look for the soul flower together."

"But if you stop me from looking for my master——"

The flute was placed to the lips, and the music started. The ears that should have been rotten were actually affected by the flute music. The trembling piles of corpses began to self-destruct, and the dead people died again.

On a whim, she not only took the soul flower, but also squatted down and started plucking the flowers.

Pick until you have ninety-nine flowers and wrap them in oil paper.

"A large bouquet is indeed more beautiful. One flower is not worthy of Master." Xinyue said to herself.

After finding the souvenirs, she became more eager to meet her master.

At the same time, Chanshui, who was staring at the big Buddha in the temple, realized that there were other people in the temple. He rolled behind the Buddha statue and took the opportunity to take a peach tribute fruit and take a bite of it.

The soft peach immediately soaked his hands with sweet water.

The people in the temple did not dare to move rashly.

Shanshui occupied a blind spot in the vision. After observing that there were three people in the temple besides him, he immediately transformed into one of them and knocked the other one out with a club.

After all three of them were hit with a stick, the emotions that they had originally wanted to hide were immediately replaced by anger.

"come out!"

"Who?"

"You coward, how dare you come out and fight me!"

Monks are somewhat proud.

If the river water does not interfere with the well water, it would be fine. But being hit by a club, although it does not hurt, is still annoying enough.

The three men didn't know each other. When they saw the figure who attacked them and then ran away, they became furious and started fighting without saying a word. Shanshui took the opportunity to climb onto the head of the Buddha, occupying the commanding height of vision, and looking down at them from above.

When the battle became intense, the ginseng water quietly slipped away.

Tian Xiao was puzzled: "He can sneak attack others, why not just use ruthless force? After the three of them started fighting, he didn't take the opportunity to grab some spirit stones and leave."

Zheng Tianlu had spent more time with Shenshui, so he could roughly guess the truth:

"It's probably because he has a dirty hand."

It can be seen that the one who knows his nephew is his uncle.

Outside the temple was an abandoned city. When Shenshui met other people again, he kept the appearance of a beautiful female cultivator and talked to other cultivators, offering information: "I just passed by that ruined temple. It seems that there was a fight in the temple. I am afraid of being involved... Where are you from?"

The people he met were the Wuliang Sect.

The three disciples of Wuliang Sect were lucky enough to have landed in the same abandoned city. They decided to work together to search for Brother Qin while looking for the Soul Flower.

Under this premise, they originally did not want to accept outsiders.

But Shenshui was so eloquent that he persuaded them to stay with him in a few words. The other lone monks saw that the four of them were moving together and did not dare to disturb them. He relied on the strength of the three of them and observed the strength of the spirit beasts in this secret realm as he walked, and then decided whether to go alone and which direction to go if he did.

Seeing that his two fellow apprentices quickly found their own way to survive, Zheng Tianlu felt relieved.

In terms of strength alone, Du Xinghe became the one who caused least worry.

In the eyes of the Immortal Alliance's high-level officials and the various sects' masters and elders, they didn't care about the situation of cultivators below the Jindan stage at all. The water mirrors provided for them to view only showed cultivators above the fifth Jindan stage, as well as the Jindan cultivators this time...

Among them, the images of Su Yan, Du Xinghe, Yu Qiuzhu, Qin Qingyue, Shu Jiuqing, Zong Man, Jiang Zeman and Yin Cifeng were enlarged the largest.

On the first day, as they expected, except for one conflict that was deliberately provoked, the monks mainly avoided fighting.

No one has found many soul flowers, so what’s the point of trying so hard to defeat others?
Not only did he gain nothing, but he also wasted his spiritual energy in vain.

What's more, there are dangers everywhere, and you might end up in trouble if you are not careful.

When monks of similar strength meet, most of them nod and then say goodbye.

Even if there is a huge difference in strength, the most you can do is ask someone to stretch out their hand to see if there are any petals.

If not, forget it.

But if there are any, the petals must be handed over as ransom.

No one objected to this kind of robbery.

In the Immortal Alliance Competition, there is only the most basic requirement of fairness. If you are not as strong as others, it means you are not able to protect the soul flower you have obtained.

But there are exceptions!

If the person is a disciple of an allied sect, or an acquaintance of the Xuan Dynasty family, the cultivator will immediately remember the importance of etiquette and integrity, and will not covet the soul flower on the other person's hand.

Connections are also an integral part of a cultivator’s strength.

Experts search everywhere for spirit beasts with soul flowers, while the weak try to avoid the strong and keep the few soul flowers they have obtained.

Apart from the above factors, the lack of conflict between monks is also due to their unfamiliarity with the environment.
If during the fight, a more powerful spirit beast is attracted, then both of them will be killed here, which will not be worth it.

After the second and third days...

The monks, who had become familiar with their surroundings, began to turn their attention to other participants.

They have discovered that soul flowers are not necessarily placed on powerful soul beasts. There may be nothing on the head of a Jindan spirit beast. Moreover, when killing a Jindan spirit beast, only one soul flower can be taken away, but defeating a Jindan cultivator can take away all the soul flowers on his body!
Of course, among the same level, cultivators are much stronger than spirit beasts.

But when the risk is proportional to the reward, some people are ready to take action...

"You've been following me for most of the day, why don't you just come out."

In the dense forest, Du Xinghe stopped and brushed away the traces of spiritual power wrapped around his shoulders.

It was a spider-like spiritual energy, wrapped around her right hand in a very secretive way, following her all the way. The spider silk that was brushed away slid down her arm and brushed against the back of her hand that was almost filled with soul flower petals.

Since the participants could not see the real-time number of soul flowers per person, Du Xinghe was too lazy to think about it. The more the better anyway.

As long as she was awake, she was killing everywhere.

In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack her, she retained most of her spiritual power to ensure that she could fight at any time.

But, it seemed that she was worrying too much, as no one dared to offer food to her, a Jindan sword cultivator.

If others don't bother her, she is too lazy to attack others.

Occasionally when he met a foundation-building cultivator, Du Xinghe would just take a glance and leave.

The male cultivator who knew how to talk to trees was one of them. After recognizing Du Xinghe, he sighed in his heart and surrendered consciously: "I'll give you all ten soul flower petals, can you not fight?"

Du Xinghe glanced at him and said, "You take it yourself. I don't want it."

"……what?"

The male cultivator, who was prepared to lose everything, was stunned.

Du Xinghe: "I won't steal your money."

The male cultivator was both relieved and a little bit dissatisfied.

He thought his search was quite efficient! How come it was just a few results? Damn it!
But when Du Xinghe turned around and saw Du Xinghe's hand, the slightest bit of resentment immediately disappeared -

The petals almost filled the back of her snow-white hand, not only forming a complete soul flower, but also blooming exceptionally beautifully.

she……

How many spiritual beasts do we have to kill?

The male cultivator was shocked and confused.

Du Xinghe's killing spree naturally attracted the attention of others. A team of monks who were traveling with her noticed her and wanted to follow her secretly. When she encountered a powerful spiritual beast and her spiritual power was almost depleted, they would rush up to her.

It can be seen that she is being treated as a Boss.

Good news: BOSS
Bad news: The boss is Du Xinghe
