ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 169 Where is the Magical Beast?

"Heh, interesting."

Chi Wenxing and a group of judges observed the images on the water mirror with an interested look on their faces.

Spiritual beasts are resources for cultivation, not pests that need to be completely eradicated.

Therefore, when the Immortal Alliance is testing whether a young cultivator is truly a genius, it will still focus on how they fight against others. If they can't even fight against humans, how can they fight against heaven?

"Deputy leader, do you think the seven of them have a chance of winning against Du Xinghe?" the male judge next to her asked her.

"I think……"

Chi Wenxing looked at Du Xinghe's expression on the water mirror and said, "These seven people should go back and learn from their master how to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Judging the opponent's strength is a crucial step. Garbage gathered together will only become a garbage can. Do they think they can win by putting the garbage can on Du Xinghe's head?"

Among the seven Jindan cultivators, there was a younger generation on the judging panel, and they were all praised as outstanding disciples in their own sects in the past.

Hearing the deputy leader's harsh words, they couldn't help but change their expressions: "It's not as bad as the deputy leader said!"

"I'm afraid the deputy leader thinks too highly of Young Master Du."

Chi Wenxing was too lazy to even look at them, and just looked at the people on the water mirror: "I don't value a person who has won all the ten-day competitions, so why would I value other ugly people? I don't have a fetish for the weak."

The judges, who were well aware of this person's poor quality, all remained silent.

If I argue with her for a few more words, she will turn around and start cursing. It would be beneath my dignity to quarrel with the deputy leader here, so forget it.

What they did was right. Chi Wenxing was already preparing to utter the next curse word.

It’s not that she thinks much of Du Xinghe.

But she had never lost a match in the Immortal Alliance Competition that year. How could she get a good ranking in the end when she couldn't even reach her level? Did she think that she could sneak attack others when they were tired just by forming a team?
Chi Wenxing simply looked down upon all weak and tactless monks equally.

……

There were a total of seven Jindan cultivators who besieged Du Xinghe this time.

It is said that the unity of the cultivators this time was also due to Du Xinghe's contribution - the number of soul flowers in Ju Ku State was limited, and she hunted down the spirit beasts with soul flowers day and night. With the efforts of other cultivators, they actually plundered all the soul flowers in the state. The neighboring states all had monks place bans there, and breaking them would offend all the monks in the neighboring states. So some people started to instigate others to attack Du Xinghe and divide up her gains.

The rhetoric is nothing more than those few -

"Du Xinghe must have just reached the Jindan level. She is a casual cultivator with an unstable foundation. Doesn't she hunt spirit beasts every day? We will follow her secretly. Everyone gets tired. When her spirit power is almost exhausted, we will rush at her... Then don't be stingy with the magic tools and talismans in your hands. Look at the back of her hand! Defeating her with all our strength is more cost-effective than killing ten spirit beasts."

The seven Jindan cultivators divided the work and cooperated with each other. One of them was good at tracking secretly. He let his spiritual pet spider drop invisible and odorless tracks at the places where she had to pass through the Star River, so that they could know her whereabouts from a safe distance.

Little did people know that Du Xinghe would activate his Purple Wisdom Pupil every day to check if there was anything on his body that shouldn't be there.

This good habit is still preserved in "Night Banquet".

Yun Yongshu only went behind the door once, and his body swelled up like a balloon that was about to burst. When she recalled it now, the door seemed to have countless white whiskers entwined around him...

There are many monsters that suck human essence in Pingyun Continent. If a mortal accidentally enters one of them, he will be sucked dry in an instant.

But the white whiskers injected spiritual energy into Yun Yongshu.

Aura is what all cultivators pursue.

A sudden overdose, however, will transform a person into a monster... No, Du Xinghe recalled carefully again, the substance injected into Yun Yongshu's body was very similar to spiritual energy, but a little different, purer, more intense, as if taking away a strand of it could bring life to a thousand miles of wasteland.

Ever since that time, Du Xinghe developed the habit of using his Purple Wisdom Pupil to check wherever he rested.

And the same goes for myself.

In the Juku State, this habit allows her to find the location of powerful spirit beasts more easily—

No matter how high the cultivation level of a spiritual beast is, there is no such thing as fasting. They like to eat, drink, defecate and urinate from the bottom of their hearts, so they will leave many traces of spiritual energy on the road. Once the Purple Wisdom Eye is opened, it is as convenient as turning on a full-map perspective plug-in.

So, Du Xinghe also discovered the little spider.

A spiritual pet with an owner would often carry traces of its owner's energy. She could tell at a glance that it was not a wild spiritual insect, so she pretended not to notice and waited with interest for it to leave traces on her body.

God helps those who work hard, and she finally caught a big one.

It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of leaves when the wind blew.

In the darkness, there are faces full of doubt and uncertainty.

Some people even want to turn around and run away.

There are seven of us anyway, right? When crossing the galaxy, you have to make choices. Go after the easy ones, the ones that are close...

As if she had read their minds, her cold voice rang out again: "Whoever turns and runs away first, I will chase him."

The black-robed monk's heart tightened and he wanted to ask loudly why?
He's about to escape, why are you chasing him and killing him?
Isn't there anyone else here?

Crossing the Star River; "No reason, I just like it."

The seven people hid very well, and even with Du Xinghe's purple eyes open, he could only see the traces of three people.

But she didn't believe that three people would dare to hunt her down. There must be someone else in the dark.

They felt that "killing people" was more profitable than killing spirit beasts, and so was she? However, she was ashamed to ambush the weak unless it was necessary and there was a second option.

It is another matter if the weak come to you.

The seven people clenched their teeth, and two of them wanted to back out.

At this time, Yu Yan, the leader, whispered in secret: "Don't panic! Since she has discovered us, let's do as we agreed."

Du Xinghe waited for a while. Just when her patience was about to run out and she was about to take the initiative to attack, the light of the magic circle being activated lit up not far away.

They knew clearly that they could not be her opponent in a one-on-one fight.

A magic circle was set up with talismans in advance to bind her here.

I saw a blue light appearing on the horizon, and a magic circle with her as the center was approaching in the blink of an eye, isolating everything inside and outside. Even the sky darkened, and a shadow was covering Du Xinghe's head.

Seven people attacked her one after another, and spiritual energy of different attributes surged wildly in the magic circle.

The dense shrieks startled countless birds.

The hearts of other foundation-building monks in the state tightened and they looked up in fear, wondering who was fighting.

The rain of arrows summoned by the spiritual fire covered the sky. Du Xinghe also looked up at the sky. The dots of fire reflected in her deep purple eyes, as if lighting up a pair of pupils.

The rain of arrows is just the beginning, there are also swords and guns in the dark.

Even the ground she was standing on showed signs of softening. Perhaps a cultivator with earth spiritual roots was secretly performing a spell to provide her with a one-stop service of cremation and burial.

"So there were seven?"

The strong wind blew Du Xinghe's long hair, and the fat kid on his head struggled to avoid being blown away.

There is no such thing as a portable hair band. It’s just a fat scorpion carrying a heavy load and moving forward.

"It just so happens that I have a trick I want to try out, so seven people will do."

What can seven people do together?
The seven people heard her words and felt confused and uneasy.

Du Xinghe stretched out her hand, and everyone's heart tightened. They had all heard about how powerful her Xue Ming sword was!

He broke the barrier set up by the Venerable Yuan Ming, sent Xue Yanguang flying with one sword, and defeated Su Yan, the eldest disciple of the Nine Yang Sect...

All the names used are snow.

But this time, it was not Xue Ming who came out of the sheath.

The heavy sword flew out from behind Du Xinghe and landed in her hand. The huge blade reflected the rockets in the sky. Just before the ground she was standing on collapsed, she leaped into the air. Inch of frost condensed on the blade. She swung the heavy sword and used the momentum to spin.

The sword light rose and fell like surging waves, and the originally impenetrable killing formation was broken in an instant!
Everyone tried their best to block the sword, and the magic weapons and talismans in their hands were torn into pieces by the sword energy.

Du Xinghe has not learned many brilliant spells—

No one taught her, and she couldn't even draw a magic circle.

All she had was a three-foot-long sword in her hand.

The shattered fragments burst apart, but before they could hit her face, they were crushed into dust by her protective qi. By the time they reached her eyes, they were negligible.

How to block a sword with a force exceeding ten thousand kilograms?
What was even more frightening was that the sword energy that was swung out actually condensed into ice again in mid-air, and even the arrows carrying the spiritual fire were frozen into clusters of ice arrows and stopped in mid-air.

When the heavy sword stopped, the heart-protecting amulets of three of the seven people had been knocked out, forming a barrier and withdrawing from the battle.

The remaining four people were already filled with fear, thinking that they had underestimated Du Xinghe's strength...

In the continuous hunting of spiritual beasts, her spiritual power was not damaged at all!

A giant hand made of mud suddenly emerged from the ground, trying to grab her back and stop her from chasing others.

She sheathed the heavy sword and jumped onto the light sword.

After a flash of light, Du Xinghe arrived beside one of them: "The first one."

With a bang, another heart-protecting amulet was activated.

The remaining three people fled in three different directions.

Du Xinghe sneered and dodged easily from the loophole in the magic circle. At the same time, he found the jade shield of unknown origin in the storage ring and threw it accurately - even if this jade shield was meant to harm people and was used as a projectile, it would not harm her.

This jade shield was no ordinary object; it was a top-grade magic weapon that even she could not see through. This throw cut off the idea of ​​escape for one of them, and his figure stopped.

The other person saw that things were not going well and was afraid that others would not be able to hold Du Xinghe back, so he used his earth and wood skills to wrap around the other person's ankle.

The man yelled, "Yu Yan, you bastard!!!"

Yu Yan just kept burning his blood and essence to escape.

He didn't ask for anything else but to run faster than others.

"Ninglin!"

With a shout from Du Xinghe, the animal pattern on his hand leaped out and turned into a strange beast that roared happily.

It’s time to go out and have fun again!
Ning Lin's bloodthirsty nature burst out instantly. He bit the monk's leg and dragged him back. He fell to the ground. Under the protection of the protective qi, half of his body was saved and he was not bruised to death...

During these days, all the spiritual beasts hunted by Du Xinghe were fed into Qilin's stomach.

Its cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and it became more and more eager for powerful flesh and blood.

Jindan monks, it must be delicious, very delicious...

Ning Lin's eyes glowed green, and his spiritual power was as if it had substance, causing the monk to fall to the ground and choke. He forgot that he had a heart-protecting amulet, and fear drove him to beg for mercy loudly and instinctively: "Senior, I was wrong! It was Yu Yan's words that bewitched me! I'll give you all the soul flowers! Don't eat me! Tell your spirit pet to stop!"

Ninglin knew that his mother didn't like it eating people, so he quickly bit the monk's vitals before his mother could change her mind.

The next moment, it was bounced away by the heart-protecting amulet.

Ga?
Ning Lin was flung two meters away and looked confused. He thought it was the monk's doing and became even angrier.

The delicious meat in my mouth is gone!

Why would meaty things package themselves? It's so unfriendly to spirit animals!

Ning Lin spewed out flames in dissatisfaction. The flames with purifying power sprayed on the barrier, making a teeth-grinding sound. Even though this cultivator believed in the heart-protecting amulet issued by the Immortal Alliance, he couldn't help but tremble with fear, and begged in his heart to be sent out of the secret realm quickly.

[Damn it! Damn it!] Ning Lin opened his mouth wide and tried to bite off a corner of the barrier. The saliva he secreted slowly slid down the barrier, which frightened the cultivator.

Fortunately, the teleportation spell arrived just in time this time.

He quickly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared from Ning Lin's sight, and the twenty-seven petals of the soul flower that originally belonged to him also poured out of the barrier and were picked up by people.

[Okay, okay, don’t be angry, we…]

Ye Qi was coaxing his sister when his furious sister bit him on the neck. He smiled bitterly and let the wound heal quickly.

At the same time, Yu Yan, who was burning his blood and essence to escape regardless of anything, thought he had seen a glimpse of hope of escaping.

No matter whether it will offend the monks from other states!

must escape!
He can't stay in Juku State anymore!
A crystal clear fat scorpion took great effort to crawl to the weakest part of Yu Yan's protective energy, raised its barbed tail, and stung him fiercely.

The venom instantly blocked Yu Yan's meridians, and his figure froze and fell from mid-air. It's broken!

Why is there something wrong with the meridians at this time! ?

Yu Yan was filled with hatred, and he saw that the ground below was thousands of feet high. Fortunately, the cultivator had a strong body and protective qi, so he was not afraid of death even if he fell from a height... When Yu Yan was thinking about this, he found that he did not fall straight to the ground, but landed on a sword.

"Hello,"

Du Xinghe greeted him: "You are quite tactical. You know that as long as you run faster than others, you will be fine."

Seeing the evil star's face, Yu Yan's blood froze. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I was just deceived by others and wanted to challenge you. I beg you to spare me this time. The Yu family will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

He couldn't be disqualified like the others!

It's such a disgrace to the Yu family!
Yu Yan took out a gold crystal card from his storage ring: "This is a small gift of respect and apology. Please accept it, senior."

The judges who were watching the water mirror all laughed.

It is not against the rules to bribe other participants with spirit stones. After all, a powerful cultivator will not be short of money, and financial resources are also part of a cultivator's strength. It is just funny to be reduced to using spirit stones in exchange for life.

"Du Xinghe is an alchemist. How could she be interested in such a small amount of spiritual stones?"

One of the disciples brought by the judges asked curiously in a low voice.

The judge corrected his statement: "Golden Crystal Card is not something that ordinary people can get in the Chamber of Commerce. There must be a large amount of wealth in it. What's more, what he bought was just the opportunity for Du Xinghe to let him go. His attitude is so good that Du Xinghe will not suffer any loss if he lets him go. This is a very cost-effective deal. The Yu family still has some savings..."

Once the Golden Crystal Card is revealed, many cultivators will be tempted.

At least Tian Xiao outside the venue was moved.

Zheng Tianlu was furious: "It was this Yu Yan who instigated other cultivators to besiege Junior Sister. He even had the nerve to bribe Junior Sister with spirit stones. Who cares about these spirit stones? Get out! No one here cares!"

Tian Xiao: "I am a rarity."

"...You are not allowed to care about it!" Zheng Tianlu turned around and glared at him.

In the judging panel, Chi Wenxing said with a smile: "Yu Yan's action reminds me of a monk using a spear."

"Oh? The person who could leave such a deep impression on the deputy leader must be an extremely powerful person."

"Strong people are born strong. His lightning magic is very suitable for killing people in water-filled areas. He has accumulated a large number of soul flowers from spirit beasts in the past three days, so he began to look for foundation-building cultivators everywhere..."

"He who picks weaker people to kill doesn't make him look like a hero." A judge with a stronger sense of justice said with disdain.

"No,"

Chi Wenxing shook his head: "He was selling soul flowers to them."

"……what?"

"There were some problems with the rules I designed that time. As long as you exceed a certain number, you can get a reward. Almost all the foundation-building cultivators who were lucky enough to enter the top 300 but not strong enough emptied their pockets, allowing the thunder spirit root cultivator to make a lot of money."

Later, the Immortal Alliance Competition improved its rules, calculating by percentage and not disclosing the rankings of all cultivators in real time.

To prevent any powerful person from taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.

"What the deputy leader said is indeed a strange person," one of the judges laughed, "I just don't know how Du Xinghe will decide."

On the water mirror, Yu Yan just finished speaking earnestly and then lowered his head, pretending to be humble.

There was a hint of pain and contempt in his lowered eyes.

He had saved up pocket money for a long time, but he just spent it like that!
However, it’s a good thing that the other party is just a casual cultivator. If I hadn’t met him today, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to get in touch with the Golden Crystal Card!

Well, this can be considered as targeted poverty alleviation...

Just as Yu Yan was thinking, Chi Xiao chopped him off with his heart-protecting amulet.

"No need to apologize, just go away."

Du Xinghe's cold gaze did not linger on him for long. After taking away a large number of soul flowers floating outside the barrier, the flower shadows on the back of his hand became more vivid and almost turned into a pure red. Only when inspired by spiritual power, the edges of the petals were outlined with golden edges, and the original shape could be seen.
"Why, Senior?!"

Yu Yan was stunned and shouted unwillingly.

However, Du Xinghe did not answer his question. Instead, he kicked him and the barrier off the sword. His shouts echoed across the plain and spread far, far away.

Yu Yan was right, Du Xinghe was just a casual cultivator.

Even after she came into contact with the Dao of Alchemy, which was good at making money, she didn't have much opportunity to make money. Being with her senior brother, he paid for all her expenses, which led to a problem -

She didn't know Jin Jingka at all.

From her perspective, Yu Yan took out a golden card and asked her to accept it.

What the hell?

I don't understand. His expression makes me annoyed.

She despised the despicable act of pointing the knife at companions and using them as shields in critical moments. She felt refreshed after getting rid of the problem.

In the eyes of everyone in Xihe Garden, Du Xinghe's action meant that this female cultivator regarded money as dirt and acted like a master.

"She is worthy of being a disciple registered in Miaohuo Sect. A mere golden crystal card cannot impress her at all..."

A monk said admiringly.

When Zheng Tianlu heard this, he puffed out his chest proudly: "Of course not! My junior sister who was raised in wealth cannot be moved by spirit stones!"

"It turns out that the Yu family is not in your sister's eyes either."

The other person started to stir up trouble in a sarcastic way. Although Zheng Tianlu wanted to say yes, the Yu family was nothing, and the useless children couldn't even beat his junior sister, but he was still good at socializing and didn't want to make enemies for his junior sister, so he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, what you said is too extreme. What do you mean by unattractive? Our senior sister is Wen Shuyu from the Wen family. Do you think a gold crystal card can impress her?"

When he heard Wen Shuyu's name, the man's face changed and he dared not say another word.

The difference between Yu Yan and Wen Shuyu is like the difference between a local tycoon and a super tycoon.

Since Du Xinghe had no idea how much money she had lost accidentally, her contempt for Yan came from the bottom of her heart. When everyone saw her casually kicking a large sum of money off the sword, they were all impressed by her detached demeanor.

"Hehe, my junior sister is amazing."

Zheng Tianlu was just about to praise his junior sister to his bodyguard when he turned around and saw his own bodyguard holding his chest and slowly sliding down with his back against the wall.

Spiritual stone!
I got so many spirit stones for free!

……

Du Xinghe flew back to her original position, but before she landed, Qilin rushed towards her and almost knocked her to the ground.

【Mommy mommy!】

"Hey, I'm here."

She took two steps back, held Ninglin's head in her arms, and bent down to kiss it.

[Wow... Mom, I was just about to start eating when the monk's barrier bounced me away, and he turned into a streak of white light and flew away!]

The ferocious beast, which frightened the monk to the point of almost incontinence, could only cry out in front of Du Xinghe, and rubbed against him desperately, acting like a weird baby.

[Mom, mom, please say something. ]

Ye Ning raised his head in her arms, and his bright animal eyes looked at her aggrievedly.

"Uh……"

Crossing the Milky Way made me sweat.

She knew that there was a heart-protecting amulet to protect the monks from being eaten, so she felt relieved to release the Qilin: "Our baby has been wronged. Be good, I will take you to eat the spirit beast later. We don't eat humans, okay?"

Obviously, you can't tell the truth to Qilin.

Fortunately, Qilin was very easy to talk to in front of his mother. He believed whatever Du Xinghe said, so he rubbed her palm obediently: [Okay, I listen to mom.]

After resolving the aggrieved Qilin, he crossed the galaxy to retrieve the soul flowers dropped by those people.

When she retrieved the farthest cultivator, a foundation-building cultivator nearby was looking at her hesitantly.

Du Xinghe was too lazy to argue with her: "Give me the soul flower you took from this barrier, and you can leave."

The female cultivator handed over all the soul flowers tremblingly.

Du Xinghe counted the amount and returned her original amount to her: "I don't want the extra ones, you can go now."

"Thank you, Senior... Thank you, Senior! I'm leaving, Senior!"

After getting Du Xinghe's permission, the female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to flee.

Du Xinghe sat down against the tree. Xiaopang returned to her head with a dead spider in his mouth. He tied her long hair up again, using it as a hairband while eating the spider meat.

She raised her hand and looked at the back of it.

The soul flower almost turned into a thousand-petal lotus, blooming quietly in her hand.

"Let's not stay in Jukuzhou anymore. Let's go find Xinyue and Shenshui."

In the scope of the Ten States, all communication instruments failed, but the prosthetic limb used by Xinyue was a part of the sword spirit, and the induction between the two was like a magnet, not a communication instrument, so he escaped.

As soon as Du Xinghe made the decision, he put the jade shield he had taken from the monk back into his storage ring.

Just before she took the ring back, she felt something soft on the shield.

What the hell?
She turned the jade shield over and saw a familiar face on it.

Crossing the Galaxy: "..."

She quickly turned the jade shield back.

She must have opened it the wrong way.

But the aggrieved crying voice coming from under the jade shield brought her back to reality: "Xinghe...you used me to hit people...wuwu...aren't we good friends..."

Du Xinghe took a deep breath.

The shock brought by being attacked by seven people was never as strong as this moment.

She should have refused the shield.

"Explain to me why you are here," Du Xinghe gritted his teeth and said its name: "Jingxin."

——Jingxin explained to her that after Chanshui left, the abbot relaxed his supervision of it, and it took the opportunity to escape from the Wanfa Temple, and then retracted its body into its tortoise shell, disguised as a defensive magic weapon, sneaked onto the flying boat without a ticket, and then transformed back into human form. The sea monk can go without food and water for a long time, and can also avoid the ticket inspectors on the flying boat, achieving a zero-cost flight.

After arriving in Jinwu City, Jingxin begged a cultivator to send the jade shield he had left somewhere to Xihe Garden and give it to Du Xinghe.

This journey can be described as a turtle adventure!
In its dull life, it has never experienced anything exciting!
This time, I really came to the right place!
Transforming into a jade shield is the ancestral magic of the sea monks. It can truly transform from a sea monk into a simulated weapon form, and can even be stored in a storage ring, and can even be brought into the secret realm set up by the Immortal Alliance...

Jingxin, who had been bored in the storage ring for a long time, had just taken it out to get some fresh air when he was thrown onto a cultivator.

The monk's protective aura shook it so much that it was dizzy and its eyes were filled with tears.

"Xinghe, are you angry?"

Jingxin asked cautiously.

Du Xinghe wasn't angry, she was just thinking...

His Majesty sneaked into the Galaxy Palace to follow her, and Jingxin also took great pains to send herself over with her own postage. Her mobile little home became more and more lively.

Where is the magical beast?
It's in her bag.

"Well, since we're here, we're not allowed to bring outside aid to the Immortal Alliance Competition."

Jingxin quickly expressed his loyalty: "I can be considered not a human! I am a spirit beast!"

"I know, you came at the perfect time."

Du Xinghe's tone suddenly softened, and Jingxin, who was worried that she would dislike him and felt that he was causing trouble, was immediately moved - yes, Xinghe should need help in the Immortal Alliance Competition! It will be a good spirit beast! It will definitely be able to help!

Du Xinghe smiled and took it back into his hand, clenching it: "I am in need of a magical weapon."

Jingxin: “…Huh?”
