Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 245 Four Arts Competition (4)

"I'll be down soon." Shi Yan said, and then jumped towards the arena.

The first round was just to break the formation. Shi Yan had originally planned to hide his strength and come down later, but now he changed his mind.

Han Xin knew Shi Yan well. As soon as she saw his expression, she knew what he wanted to do, and immediately sent him a message, "Take your time, and don't try to show off."

Shi Yan paused, fortunately his feet had landed on the stage. If he was still in mid-air, he couldn't guarantee that he would not lose stability and fall from mid-air.

Shi Yan found the position corresponding to his number. The position of each monk was a small circle with each contestant's number plate flashing in the center of the circle. He lifted a corner of his Taoist robe and sat down cross-legged.

Monks gradually sat down around him, and Shi Yan's figure was soon submerged among the contestants.

Han Xin was annoyed that she couldn't see the person she wanted to see. Why was A Yan's seat arranged in the middle?

Han Xin glanced towards the audience seats, then looked away. Good, the woman was not there.

Forget it, forget it, if I can’t see it, then I can’t see it. Anyway, A Yan won’t let me down, she will just wait here.

At the same time, he went over the contents of the jade slip in his mind, raised his head to look at the arena, and did not see any of the hundred popular candidates in the front rows.

Yes, there are more than 10,000 contestants in the formation, and there are only 100 popular candidates on the jade slip, so the chance of meeting them is too small.

Han Xin thought she had to wait a little longer, and since she couldn't see the person she wanted to see, she simply lowered her head to the ground and thought about her own things.

But not long after she lowered her head, a figure appeared in front of her, and the pair of shoes on the other person's feet looked somewhat familiar.

Hmm? Familiar?

Han Xin looked up suddenly and saw Shi Yan, her face instantly turned dark.

"Why did you come down so soon?"

All in all, the competition lasted only half a cup of tea.

If she remembered correctly, on the first day of watching the formation competition, the person who woke up first took a full half hour.

Several of the monks who were watching the game with Han Xin almost bit their tongues because of Han Xin's words.

Just now when they saw that she looked unhappy, they thought that she was dissatisfied with the male cultivator for coming down too late, and they secretly scolded her for being ungrateful. But who knew that she was dissatisfied with the male cultivator for coming down too early.

Such a thing actually happened. Who wouldn't hope that their contestants would pass the test early? But she chose to do the opposite of others.

Shi Yan quickly explained, "Don't be upset, I'm not the first one to come down. There are three or four contestants ahead of me who have passed the test before me."

He listened to Xinxin's words and did not break the formation as quickly as possible.

Shi Yan entered a first-order illusion array. The next moment after entering the array, he knew what kind of array it was. He did not unlock the array immediately, but wandered around for almost a cup of tea before unlocking the array.

When Han Xin heard that he was not the first to break the formation, she stopped lecturing him on this issue. "Look at your number plate. Does it show when the second round of competition will take place next time?"

Shi Yan took out his number plate, looked at it and shook his head. The number eight was no longer on the back of his number plate, but instead it had the words "passed in the first round".

"Maybe we have to wait until all the contestants have competed before we can give another reminder."

The two did not go back immediately, but waited until the first batch of contestants finished their competition and more than 30 monks were eliminated. They then took a look at the second wave of contestants before leaving the outer city.

The two of them didn't know that a few days after they left, the list of the top 100 candidates for Wenting Tower had changed. Shi Yan was among the top 100 candidates for formation masters and ranked within the top 50.

Of course, those who formed the formation before him were also ranked among the top fifty.

The cultivators who had bought the jade slips earlier were very dissatisfied with Wen Tinglou's behavior of arbitrarily changing the contents of the jade slips. Wasn't Wen Tinglou's actions too fast in order to earn spirit stones?
Can't we wait until the end of one round of competition before re-ranking?

When the two appeared under the ring again, it was already time for Han Xin to compete.

Han Xin's competition went smoothly, and because it was only the first round, the pill she went on stage to refine was only a second-level Peiyuan Pill.

Peiyuan Pill is simple to refine and takes a short time to make. By the time she had finished refining the pill, only half the time had passed.

As long as the refining is completed, you can leave the stage early.

Han Xin did not want to be in the spotlight, so she did not immediately call for the monks to check her pills. Instead, she waited until several contestants had finished refining their pills and called for the referee to check the pills. Then she slowly raised her hand to indicate that the pills were ready.

After the referee confirmed her approval, she stepped down from the stage with a smile, and left the outer city with Shi Yan. They entered the Ke Lai Restaurant again and ate and took away the food.

Han Xin's alchemy skills have reached the third level. She can now easily refine top-quality third-level pills. She does not force herself to refine the best quality pills. Occasionally, if she succeeds in refining one, it is a great achievement of her luck.

Therefore, the two of them did not go into seclusion anymore. Of course, they were also worried about missing the second round of competition. Every day, they would go to the outer city to check the situation. It was at this time that they accidentally learned from other people's discussions that Shi Yan was on the top 100 list of formation masters.

"How did you make it to the top 100 list? Did it take you too short a time to break the formation? So you caught the attention of Wen Ting Lou?" Han Xin looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's possible." Shi Yan felt guilty.

If he had known earlier, he would not have broken out of the formation so quickly. It was too conspicuous. Fortunately, both of them wore isolation cloaks when they came out today. He didn't know how many people knew what he looked like now. He was really afraid that someone would recognize him and make a fuss.

"You said you're so famous, aren't you worried that the woman will associate our name with yours?" Han Xin was annoyed to death.

"So what if she thinks of it? Anyway, as long as we don't leave the city and don't leave the courtyard at night, she won't have the chance to attack us. Besides, there are more people named Shi Yan than me. We have changed our appearance, so she can't be sure of our true identity."

"No matter what, you are the most reasonable one."

Bai Lian on the other side did doubt Shi Yan, wondering if this Shi Yan was the Shi Yan that he knew five hundred years ago?
This Shi Yan is also a formation master.

Logically speaking, if those two people had not died, based on their qualifications, their current cultivation should be higher than mine.

If they took over other people's bodies after death, shouldn't the first thing they did after returning be to find their masters and avenge them?
Or is it that they have been reincarnated, and now they have no memory of their past life?
