Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 222 Roll Call

When Lu Ye walked out of the cave, Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi were already waiting outside, and beside them stood a frowning Shu Chitu.

Several people were wearing the dark black robes of the outer disciples.

Lu Ye is also dressed in the same way.

After the four of them bowed to each other, they walked slowly up the mountain, as was the case with their fellow disciples not far away.

Today, few people use their escape light to rush towards the Taoist temple.

Those who are not strong enough are afraid that they will die in the competition, while those who are strong enough are afraid that they will not be able to grab the top four.

Those who are neither above nor below understand that this internal competition is just the first hurdle.

After the competition, the secret realm of the Black Cave will be opened in a month. It will be much more bloody and cruel than the competition.

Even if he was lucky enough to escape the flesh and blood millstone in the secret realm, he didn't know how long the fragile balance of the Seven Demon Gates in Black Cave Mountain could be maintained. There were also the Ancient Sword Manor and the White Crane Gate watching eagerly outside.

I'm afraid this Black Cave Mountain will never be able to settle down again.

Lu Ye: "..."

Shu Chitu opened the jade box and took a look. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed in surprise.

"Senior brother," Shu Chitu's worries about his life were greatly reduced, his mood became better, and he immediately started gossiping, "Have you heard?"

"My little brother's savings over the years are all in it, and they will be used as funeral expenses for my senior brother."

"I don't know which grandson who gave birth to a son without an asshole suggested to the sect master that the competition must be based on true ability, but actually banned the talisman."

Wang Hu chuckled beside him.

"I searched for a long time in the black market and the ordinary market, but I still couldn't find a demon method that suits my compatibility."

He has many talismans and his magical power can penetrate the ground. These two regulations have blocked him.

Lu Ye did not accept the storage bag, but after thinking for a moment, he took out a turtle shell from his storage bag, casually changed the restrictions, and handed it to Shu Chitu.

this thing

"This protective magical weapon is very sharp, but it also consumes a lot of mana. When you encounter a life-or-death crisis, it can protect your life."

"I'm afraid something might be wrong with me in this competition."

"Junior brother," he asked Shu Chitu first, "You have been in seclusion for many days, but can you break through the third level of Qi training?"

As the competition approached, all the disciples emptied their storage bags and exchanged spiritual stones, magic weapons, and various foreign objects. Among them, there were quite a few outer disciples who had broken through to the third level of Qi training.

Thank you so much, it’s not necessary.

Lu Ye walked around and saw that everyone's expressions were not very good, so he frowned and pretended to be bitter.

Shu Chitu: "..."

Even among the inner disciples, the female senior sister that Zhu Jian fawns over is about to break through the sixth level of Qi training, and it is said that she can enter the later stage of Qi training at any time.

Therefore, all the disciples, both internal and external, looked worried, and no one had a calm face.

"I will be reincarnated as a rat in my next life, and I will always live around my senior brother's house..."

"Senior Brother Shu, if you say that, I will be reincarnated as the eldest brother and second brother in the next life. I will raise a tabby cat and chase you every day..."

"Am I making fun of him..." Shu Chitu was obviously driven into a rage and cursed, "In that case, why can't magic weapons and pills be banned?"

Shu Chitu finally lowered his head, wanting to cry but without tears.

He is not at the top among the outer disciples, but he is not at the bottom either. He cannot compete for the top spot, but he does not have to worry about his life.

Shu Chitu smiled bitterly.

He handed the storage bag to Lu Ye.

"Many of the spells practiced in the sect are the skills of human monks, and we do not have the skills of the demon clan."

"Senior Brother Zhu Jian is in trouble again."

Lu Ye made a strange sound and asked what the bad luck was.

"I like the excitement. Please call some Kun Xiu from Chunfeng Tower to dance for me."

"I hope that senior brother, for the sake of our ten-year friendship, will remember to collect my little brother's body."

"Senior brother, how can I do that?"

These two magical weapons are used by monks in the late stage of Qi training, and they are enough to protect the two of them.

Shu Chitu looked around and said in a low voice when there was no one around.

"Originally, I was working hard to earn spiritual stones on the black market, just to stock up on enough talismans so that I could use them one by one to save my life during the competition."

"Senior brother, I will never forget your kindness."

The four of them chatted and laughed with each other, feeling much more relaxed.

Shu Chitu looked around and his voice suddenly dropped.

Moreover, the female robbery cultivator was robbed that day and she took out two magical artifacts from the storage bag. One was a black iron bowl and the other was a fireworks copper bell. Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi each got one.

Lu Ye did not ask about the situation of Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi again because he knew that the two adopted brothers relied on enough spiritual stones to reach the third level of Qi training.

"They also said that they were afraid that the disciples would attack and destroy the foundation, so a steel formation was set up on the ground!"

"I remember that you have also prepared a lot of elixirs for restoring your mana. When the time comes, you will take a lot of supplements. Later, you will slowly eliminate the elixirs. You must pass this level first."

"I don't know which demon Brother Zhu Jian offended. He was practicing summoning magic a few nights ago."

"Everyone nearby heard the angry voice of a demon shouting in their souls - you are Zhu Jian, the Eagle of Ba Guo!"

"Then there was a loud bang, and Senior Brother Zhu Jian's cave was razed to the ground!"

"Thanks to the Taoist companion he lived with, he had a powerful magic weapon that protected his body and spiritual consciousness and drove away the devil."

"But Senior Brother Zhu is miserable. He has fallen to the fifth level of Qi training again. This is the second time."

"The first time was the black evil wind when the secret realm of the Black Cave was opened."

Shu Chitu touched his chin and said.

"Why is this so evil?"

Lu Ye smiled calmly, hiding his merit and fame.

Wang Hu laughed and said in a strange way.

"Is there anything strange about this? Senior Brother Zhu Jian is going to fight against the Sixth Convict!"

"As long as he cultivates from the fifth level to the seventh level in one go, he will be fine."

Zhang Cunyi gave a thumbs up.

"Second brother, good idea."

Shu Chitu: "..."

While they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at the venue in front of the Taoist temple.

Not long after, all the inner and outer sect disciples arrived. The inner sect disciples wearing light black robes came in front, and the outer sect disciples wearing dark black robes came behind.

Lu Ye saw Zhu Jian in the crowd. His face was pale, his eyes were black, his energy was listless, and he looked like he was seriously injured.

He glanced at it twice and then looked no further. Senior Brother Zhu Jian was in trouble. Just as the second brother said, he would fight against the six criminals.

I don’t know if I can reach the sixth level of Qi training in my lifetime.

He looked ahead.

In front of the Taoist temple, Mo Ruyan was the leader, Wu Feng was standing behind, and there were four elders on both sides.

There were also a hundred servants standing silently outside the venue. The bell rang three times and then stopped.

Everyone was silent and looked forward quietly.

Mo Ruyan took a step forward and said coldly.

"Disciples, I told you this the day you entered my Xuanmo Sect."

"During the competition within the gate, someone will surely die and be eliminated."

"No need to say much today, everyone will see the truth."

She waved her hand, and Wu Feng stepped forward and coughed.

"I, a disciple of the Demon Sect, don't need to pay so much attention. This competition should be rough rather than detailed."

"Each elder's sect competes with the same sect. The elders select the candidates in the order of the competition, and they fight against each other in order."

"Those who are not as skilled as others can just admit defeat, and the losers will fight against each other again until the final loser is eliminated."

"The disciples are Elder Xi, Elder Du, Elder Tong and Elder Tang in order. The order of the inner disciples' competition is determined by drawing lots."

"You can use all your strength during the competition. The sect master and I will protect your lives."

"We will make a comprehensive evaluation to select the candidates to be eliminated."

"After that, the outer sect disciples will compete for the four spots in the inner sect. Those who have the courage and confidence can give it a try and draw lots until the last four winners are selected."

"You need to know that Taoist cultivation depends on oneself and luck, so I would like to wish you all good luck today in advance!"

"In addition, there are rewards for the top three in the inner gate and the top four in the outer gate."

"When I recruited disciples, I didn't expect that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would revive, and all the disciples would practice much faster than usual."

"Now it seems that not only four of the outer disciples have cultivated to above the fourth level of Qi training."

"After discussing with the elders, the top four will be promoted directly to the inner sect. The remaining fourth-level Qi training disciples need to go through the black cave secret realm and come back alive before they can become inner sect disciples."

"That's about it."

The disciples below all looked ugly.

Wu Feng seemed to have said so much, but the core meaning was twofold.

The competition between the outer disciples is relatively casual, and it is not the core true disciple of Xuanmo Sect anyway. Just finish the competition quickly and select the four unlucky dead ghosts.

The master has great authority and can designate two people to fight. If the master doesn't like you, he can point out a strong opponent for you.

You can throw in the towel and hope to find a less powerful opponent.

You can also fight hard and lose with all your injuries, fearing that you will still be a loser when you face other losers in the end.

If you are unlucky, you may end up in last place. Then it will depend on your luck.

If the two sect leaders and four elders think you are not good enough, you will be dead.

As for the competition for the quota of inner sect disciples, the rules are much more cautious and turned into drawing lots. This is the highlight. After all, the inner sect disciples are considered the core of Xuanmo Sect.

What Wu Feng said about relying on oneself and relying on luck mainly refers to this. If the first and second strongest players accidentally get drawn and collide, the people behind will have a chance.

Anyway, the inner gate only accepts the four final winners, but here, both strength and luck are indispensable.

There are also more disciples above the fourth level of qi training in the outer sect than when they first established the rules, so the first four are decided to go straight through, and the remaining disciples need to go through the Black Cave Secret Realm and come back alive before they can be promoted.

The disciples discussed it privately, and there was a constant buzzing sound.

Mo Ruyan's sharp eyes swept across the audience, and his voice immediately stopped.

"Do you understand everything?"

"Okay, then let's start in front of this Taoist temple!"

She gave the order, and the servants moved the boulders.

Mo Ruyan, Wu Feng and the four elders all sat cross-legged.

All the disciples dispersed, leaving the field empty, and Tang Yijie took out a series of disks to input magic power.

Immediately, a layer of light shield rose from the ground. Inside the light shield, the bluestone on the ground was covered with a layer of metallic light.

However, the Steel Rock Formation and the Dharma Protector Formation have been activated so that the disciples inside can use their spells to fight without worrying about affecting the spectators outside.

In the first game, it was Xiao Huanxi’s disciples who fought first.

Even in today's competition, Xiao Huanxi did not change her cool and cool dress. Her peach blossom eyes glanced at the more than ten disciples under her sect.

Seeing Lu Ye and Shu Chitu frown, they immediately chuckled.

"Fourth, Fifth, you two go up first and set an example for everyone!"

Lu Ye and Shu Chitu secretly cursed "Slut" in their hearts.

The two of them had no choice but to step forward and enter the formation. With a flash of their waistbands, they seemed to have passed through a wave of waves and entered the formation effortlessly.

The two stood opposite each other, cupped their hands, and bent down.

"Fifth Junior Brother please!"

"Fourth Senior Brother, please!"

As soon as Lu Ye raised his hand, Shu Chitu said simply.

"Admit defeat! Master, I admit defeat!"

Anyway, according to the rules of the competition, you can admit defeat, and you can still fight others later.

He didn't feel ashamed to lose to Lu Ye. He had a very good relationship with his fourth senior brother. If he went crazy, he would start a fight to make his relatives happy and his enemies happy.

An evil spirit flashed in Xiao Huanxi's eyes.

"Get out of here, you useless thing!"

"Fourth brother, since your muscles and bones haven't moved yet, then you can fight with your second senior brother!"

Shu Chitu ran out of the formation in despair.

In the crowd, Hua Ming was holding a sword and his face was ashen, but he simply did not enter the magic circle and shouted directly.

"Master, this disciple admits defeat!"

Lu Ye noticed that the magical sword in Hua Ming's hand was not the one he used to go up the mountain. It should be far inferior to the original sword.

It turns out that the sword seems to have been returned to Chunfeng Tower and has not been redeemed.

After not seeing each other for several years, Hua Ming became more and more haggard. As a swordsman, his back was bent.

He surrendered and was also being cleaned up.

A trace of anger flashed across Xiao Huanxi's face. The two useless disciples actually gave up.

She turned to look at Gu Changqing.

"You are senior brother, you go and teach your fourth junior brother!"

Gu Changqing bowed and replied "yes", then slowly walked out of the crowd.

He really didn't get this name for nothing. He didn't know if he was gifted or not. He had been picked by Xiao Huanxi for nine years, but he didn't become a drug dregs.

"Fourth Junior Brother, it's still too late for you to admit defeat now." Gu Changqing pressed the hilt of the sword and persuaded slowly.
