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

Chapter 246 Four Arts Competition (5)

The more Bai Lian thought about it, the funnier it seemed to her. She felt that she was too suspicious and even thought about reincarnation. A cultivator had no chance of reincarnation.

If that person is really the one he knows, then there is only one possibility: possession of another's body.

She should observe it for a while. If she was just overthinking it, then there was no need for her to do anything unnecessary.

It’s a pity that the marks on the two people last time were broken, so the problem cannot be confirmed. Bai Lian has been brooding over this matter.

The second round of the formation master competition was held on the twentieth day after the Four Arts Competition. There were not only many contestants in the alchemy competition, but each game also took a relatively long time, so the first round of eliminations was still in progress at this time.

The second round of competition for formation masters was still an elimination round. This time, the level of breaking the formation was one level higher than the first round, and sixty to seventy people out of a hundred were eliminated.

In fact, this elimination method is quite humane. It is not the case that only a few can pass the test at the beginning. It gives many formation masters the opportunity to continue to impact the next round.

This time, Shi Yan intentionally controlled his speed. After more than twenty people broke the formation one after another, he quickly broke out of the formation.

Now, not only Shi Yan was satisfied with this ranking, but Han Xin was also satisfied.

But they didn’t know that Shi Yan’s mediocre performance today had triggered another wave of discussion, and his name was no longer on the updated top 100 list.

Logically, this is what the two of them expected, but those who should be paying attention to them still haven't dispelled their suspicions about them.

The woman Bai Lian came to find Shi Yan when he participated in the second round of the competition. When she saw that Shi Yan did not look like that man at all, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I must be overthinking it. There are many people named Shiyan on this continent.

Bai Lian had thought about the possibility of disguise, but she believed in herself that she would not be able to fail to detect a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had changed his appearance, unless there was some treasure that blocked her detection, but the possibility of this happening was very small.

Because in this continent, she only knew of two treasures that could change one's appearance, and those two were still in the hands of their owners. She also happened to know those two people, and it was definitely not the young boy on the ring.

How precious is the treasure? Can anyone refine it at will? It is not easy for a fifth-level refiner to refine it.

Three days later, the first round of competition in the alchemy group ended.

Five days later, it was Han Xin's turn to compete in the second round.

This round still requires you to refine a pill to pass, but the pill you refine must be a second-level pill.

Han Xin still passed this round easily.

Two days later, Shi Yan from the Formation Group passed the third round of eliminations.

Three days later, Han Xin from the alchemy group passed the third round of eliminations.

Three days later, in the fourth round of the formation group competition, Shi Yan passed it just on time.

Two days later, Han Xin passed the fourth round of the alchemy group competition. Her results were always mediocre, with no outstanding points.

At this point, the number of contestants dropped dramatically, with the number of formation masters dropping from more than 10,000 to less than 1,000.

The number of alchemists also decreased from more than 20,000 to about 2,000.

The elimination round continued. Although the performances of the two were mediocre, they passed the test every time. Han Xin did not attract the attention of other cultivators.

Sometimes monks would still mention Shi Yan, but because he deliberately acted mediocre, many people thought he was just lucky and always managed to pass the competition at the last minute. But not everyone thought so. If he was mediocre, how could he always be so accurate in time?

Some people think he is hiding his abilities.

But no matter how hard the contestants try to hide their weaknesses, if they want to get the generous rewards of the competition, they will be defeated in the end.

That's what the person who collected the information at Wenting Tower thought, so Shi Yan was included in the latest list of the top 100 popular candidates and was ranked in the top 20.

As time goes by, the competition among all contestants becomes more and more intense, with fewer and fewer contestants being eliminated each time, and of course the questions in the competition become more and more difficult.

Not only were there competitions taking place on the stage, but there were also competitions taking place off the stage. There was even a betting table. Most of the cultivators hoped that their relatives, teachers, brothers and sisters would win, so they bet on their contestants to advance to the next level.

Of course, only the latest top 100 contestants can enter the gambling game.

Of course Han Xin can pass the level by pressing the stone inkstone, so that they can earn back some of the expenses in Longcheng, right?
Han Xin had great confidence in Shi Yan. The first time she bet on Shi Yan, she bet 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

It's not that she doesn't want to bet more, but she is worried that if she bet too much, it will attract other people's attention. What if they also bet on Shi Yan? Then she will get less spirit stones. She would rather earn less at a time and earn more several times.

Hehe, no one was optimistic about Shi Yan in the first round, and in the end only two people placed bets.

One was myself, and the other was an acquaintance, Zhang Ran.

However, because Zhang Ran was short of money, he only bet 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Shi Yan's odds were ten to one, so Han Xin won one million medium-grade spirit stones in a single bet.

Zhang Ran is also good, having obtained 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Han Xin didn't see Zhang Ran, otherwise she would have asked her how she knew Shi Yan. She wouldn't have been keeping an eye on the two of them, right?

Zhang Ran hadn't been paying attention to the two of them. It was a coincidence that she happened to see Han Xin betting on a contestant named Shi Yan. What surprised her was that except Han Xin, no one else bet on Shi Yan.

Zhang Ran thought about it and decided to trust his intuition and bet on the same person to win with Han Xin.

Many people were jealous that Han Xin bet on the right person and earned spirit stones, while the contestant they bet on was eliminated, and they felt dissatisfied.

If Wen Tinglou hadn't made the ranking, how would the female cultivator have had the chance to bet on the right person and get the spirit stones?

Therefore, everyone is very dissatisfied with the fact that Shi Yan, who always performs mediocrely, can be ranked among the top 20 popular candidates in the formation group.

There were even some impatient monks who specifically went to Wentinglou to ask for an explanation. They felt that the information given by Wentinglou did not match the current situation.

They said that Wen Tinglou used some illogical information to deliberately defraud them of their spirit stones.

Wen Tinglou was not angry about this, and just left a sentence "Wentinglou never sells false information."

What can they do? A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. In the end, those people not only failed to get an explanation, but also got angry.

After Han Xin received the spirit stones, she joked to Shi Yan, "It seems that Wen Ting Lou is quite confident in you. How about you improve your strength in the next round of competition?"

This way he would live up to Wen Tinglou's recognition of his ability.

"It's not impossible. The competition has entered its final stages. It's time for me to show my true abilities. Remember to bet on me to win this time."

Han Xin looked at him with amusement. It was rare to see such a lively A Yan.
