Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 83: All parties come together for a grand martial arts performance

A few days after the three surnames from Chu State arrived, people from Lu State also arrived.

The flying boat of the royal family of the Lu Kingdom came from the north. The huge flying boat of a thousand feet covered the sky and blocked the sun. Eight flying boats of more than a hundred feet were surrounding the huge flying boat, just like the swimming sharks guarding the whale king.

Its popularity can be said to be even worse than that of Chu State.

After the arrival of Chu and Lu, the atmosphere in Zhengdu became a little weird.

The three families seem to be harmonious, but there are always some conflicts overt or covert.

Jiang Sheng heard that at an auction in the Treasure Shop, monks from Chu and Lu had raised a fourth-level spiritual material to a high price of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

This shows that the two families are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

As for the dignitaries of Zheng State, they were quite graceful at this time, constantly giving in and watching the fight between Chu State and Lu State.

And Chu and Lu were not stupid either. On the fighting stage, Chu and Lu often joined forces to beat Zheng monks with black noses and swollen faces.

There are different opinions on the reasons for the fight, but Jiang Sheng didn't care about it. He only felt that it was noisy.

In the other courtyard, Ao Ke played with the tea cup in his hand: "These past few days, there has been a lot of fun at the Fighting Stage and the Treasure Shop. What do you think, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Sheng took a sip of the spiritual tea and said slowly: "It is inevitable that there will be disputes between neighbors. There is nothing to see."

Ao Ke nodded: "Speaking of which, those Jindan masters from Lu and Chu seem to have been in the imperial city these days, and those who show up are all the younger generation."

"Brother Jiang, do you want to go see these talented people?"

Jiang Sheng said calmly: "Coming to Zhengdu coincides with such a grand event, so I naturally want to meet the outstanding talents on the coast of the East China Sea."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Ao Ke's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiang, do you mean to show your face at this event?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "People who practice must be competitive."

"Although I don't like fighting, the three kingdoms of Chu, Lu, and Zheng are meeting, and the Dragon Palace is by my side. It's okay if I'm not here, but now that I'm in the capital of Zheng, I won't miss it."

"Although he is only in the Purple Mansion, he has never been listed as a true successor. But when you go out, you can't lose the face of Daozong."

Ao Ke was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this case, I'll wait and see."

It is the beginning of spring in the thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and thirty-sixth year of the mountain and river calendar.

When a dragon chariot from the East China Sea Dragon Palace arrived, Zhengdu's grand martial arts performance finally began.

For this grand event, Zheng Du started making arrangements early.

The seventy-two martial arts arenas in the outer city, the thirty-six fighting platforms in the inner city, and the twelve square rooftops in the imperial city were all built by the Zheng royal family at a large cost.

They deal with three levels of fighting: Qi training, foundation building, and purple mansion.

At the same time, just in case, to prevent the fate of Jindan Zhenren, there are several Tiantian platforms above the imperial city for Jindan Zhenren to fight.

For this grand event, the royal family of Zheng State spent a huge amount of money to set up screen walls in the imperial city, inner city, and outer city to satisfy the thousands of living beings throughout Zhengdu.

At the same time, a large number of sergeants were dispatched to maintain order.

Hundreds of foundation builders were placed in the outer city as guards and referees, while in the inner city, monks from the Zifu served as referees.

As for the imperial city, each Jindan master of the Zheng family is personally in charge.

The lineup is not without luxury, and the Zheng family has also prepared a large amount of elixirs for the monks to restore their Qi.

At the same time, the Spirit Gathering Formation, Rejuvenation Formation and other formations were installed in every place where martial arts were performed. It can be said that all aspects were taken into consideration.

The rules of this martial arts event are also extremely simple. Regardless of status or nationality, whether it is a Qi-training monk or a foundation-building monk, as long as they can survive ten rounds of competitions, they can obtain the official status of Zheng Guo, and they will have no worries about future glory and wealth.

Therefore, not only the monks from the Zheng Kingdom were excited, but also many casual cultivators and children from small families in the Chu and Lu Kingdoms were very jealous of this.

As Emperor Zheng and Zheng Tu, the real person of Jindan, personally announced the start of the martial arts event, geniuses from all over the place came on stage to compete and compete in martial arts arenas and fighting stages in the inner and outer cities.

In the imperial city, Zheng Tu and the top dignitaries of the Zheng Kingdom accompanied the distinguished guests from the Lu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom, and the Dragon Palace, enjoying delicious food and wine while watching the monks fight.

The real people were standing tall, chatting and laughing, and making comments from time to time, as if they were watching a big show.

As for the Nascent Soul Masters of the four families, they don't have much interest in these Qi training and foundation-building level fighting techniques.

These Nascent Soul Masters are the masters of this event. They occasionally taste fine wines and glance at the projected fighting skills. Most of the time, they are constantly transmitting their spiritual consciousness.

Obviously this secret transmission is the reason why all parties gathered here.

Nowadays, people gathered around the various fighting stages and martial arts arenas in the inner city and the outer city. Whether they were ordinary people or monks, they were all excitedly watching the fighting.

Every time someone is knocked off the stage, there is a burst of applause.

In such a lively environment, those who fight will inevitably be affected, and their actions will be off-kilter without even realizing it.

Therefore, many people were seriously injured, but because the monks from the Zheng court were watching, no one died yet.

Compared with the various spells and flying sword weapons of the foundation-building monks in the inner city, the fighting methods of the qi-training monks in the outer city are simpler.

At this time, on a martial arts stage in the outer city, Li Tai was competing with monks from other places.

Since Li Tai and Li Qingyun followed Jiang Sheng and arrived in Zhengdu safely, they found the cheapest place to stay.

In addition to meditating every day, I also go out to watch martial arts fights and learn from other people's experiences.

I never attended any singing, dancing and drinking parties. As for the auction, I was even more strapped for money.

After struggling so hard until now, the two of them finally waited for the martial arts event to begin.

At this time, under the martial arts stage, Li Qingyun clenched his sleeves anxiously. Li Tai held a long sword and kept blocking the opponent's attacks.

The opponent was a monk holding a broadsword, and his tactics seemed to come from the military.

Every move he makes is open and closed, fierce and domineering, with an iron-blooded killing power.

Now that Li Tai and the monk had gone through dozens of rounds, and seeing that the monk became more and more fierce as he fought, Li Qingyun could not help but worry about Li Tai's safety.

As the sword fell one after another, the monk's power increased higher and higher, like a wave.

As the momentum reached its peak, the monk let out a loud shout and flew into the air.

"drink!"

He roared angrily and slashed at Li Tai with a sharp sword. The strong wind roared like an iron horse, which was terrifying.

Li Tai responded calmly. He had long been waiting for his opponent to reveal his flaws.

Seeing the sword strike down on his head, Li Tai turned around and flew up, spinning like a hawk to dodge the powerful and heavy blow.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's old strength has been released and the new strength has not yet risen, he slaps three palms on his back. The palm power is soft and cold, using softness to overcome hardness.

The monk was caught off guard and was slapped three times in the back by Li Tai. The cold spiritual power invaded his body and caused problems with his luck.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tai took the opportunity to place the sword across his neck: "Brother, you lose."

This monk was not someone he couldn't afford to lose. He sighed, turned around and clasped his fists: "Good skill, I lost."

After the monk stepped down, Li Tai only rested for a quarter of an hour before facing another new challenge.

The new opponent is good at using poison needles and darts, and he also practices poison attacks, and his moves are vicious and vicious.

It looks like he is fighting the enemy with fists and kicks, but in reality there are fine poisonous needles between his punches and kicks.

This set of poisonous needles was obviously a magic weapon. Li Tai dealt with it carefully, finally found his flaw, and then defeated him.

At this time, Li Tai had already won five battles and five victories, and his performance was extremely impressive.

Not to mention the outer city, many people also noticed Li Tai's performance in the inner city.

Some of them were optimistic about Li Tai and placed bets.

The Zhengguo court did not prohibit gambling, but it would not tolerate collusion between gambling houses and the forces behind it to sabotage the martial arts event.

Therefore, gambling is okay, but if you want to take advantage of the odds, the Zheng court will take action decisively.

Jiang Sheng sat in the tea shop and looked at the picture projected on the screen wall outside.

"Li Tai, you have some ability, your skills are not bad."

Ao Ke on the side listened and was a little curious: "Brother Jiang knows him?"

Jiang Sheng explained: "When Pindao went all the way north, it was he and his junior sister who led the way. They seemed lazy, but they were decisive when they started."

"His character is not bad either. He is kind-hearted but does not act haphazardly. He is a good young man."

Ao Ke nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Then I will give this kid a fortune in spiritual stones."

Seeing that Ao Ke really took out a sum of spiritual stones for the waiter to bet on, Jiang Sheng shook his head: "Brother Ao doesn't go to your father's side, so what's going on with Pindao?"

But Ao Ke said: "How can I feel more comfortable with my father than with Brother Jiang? Otherwise, why would I come to Zhengdu so early?"

Jiang Sheng said nothing and continued to watch the fight on the projection.

"Since Brother Jiang is optimistic about this kid, why don't you give him a shot?" Ao Ke was a little curious when he saw that Jiang Sheng had been silent for a long time.

Jiang Sheng was quite casual at this time and said with a smile: "Although Pindao has some spare money, it is not easy to gamble. And Pindao is optimistic about him, so he does not necessarily want to bet on him to win."

"Unless it's a sure-win game, Pindao won't gamble. Because if you don't gamble, Pindao will never lose."

"Brother Jiang's temperament is too calm, boring, boring." Ao Ke shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Sheng's stability.

While the two were talking, someone from the side suddenly said, "Come on, that boy, I'll give you some money too."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Sheng looked around and saw a man with a long beard and purple brocade robe taking out a pile of spiritual stones to place bets.

When Jiang Sheng saw the man, the man happened to look towards Jiang Sheng.

The man smiled and nodded towards Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then sat back down as he was about to get up, and waved to the waiter beside him.

The waiter came over diligently: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"That martial artist, Li Tai, can weigh a thousand spiritual stones." Jiang Sheng said.

The waiter took the spirit stone away with a smile on his face, but Ao Ke on the side was confused.

He looked at Jiang Sheng in disbelief. After looking around, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jiang, didn't you say you're not good at gambling?"

"That's true, but why wouldn't Pindao bet on a game that must be won?"

Jiang Sheng said, drinking all the tea in the cup with a smile.
