Entering Taoism from the womb

Late at night, Jiang Pingan used the best Yuanshi to practice.

A large amount of pure and concentrated Yuanqi that was almost liquid was absorbed from the best Yuanshi and easily refined into the Dragon Essence.

At the same time, a wisp of fire essence contained in the best Yuanshi was also absorbed and integrated into the Dragon Essence, enhancing the power of fire spells or martial arts.

After absorbing two pieces of top-grade Yuanshi in succession, Jiang Pingan paused his practice, opened his eyes and thought: "One piece of top-grade Yuanshi can be exchanged for one hundred pieces of upper-grade Yuanshi, but the Yuanqi contained in one piece of top-grade Yuanshi is only equivalent to thirty pieces of upper-grade Yuanshi."

"However, the Yuanqi contained in it is extremely pure, not only easier to be refined, but also has no side effects. In addition, the wisp of fire essence is very good."

"It's a bit extravagant, but the effect is very good."

When he was conferred the title of Marquis, Emperor Gan rewarded him with one hundred pieces of top-grade Yuanshi, but because he was going to practice in Yulong Mountain, the Yuanqi of heaven and earth was enough, so he didn't want to use the top-grade Yuanshi for practice. Until now, he used the top-grade Yuanshi for the first time.

He can still practice in Yulong Mountain for another year and nine months, but unfortunately the Yuanqi required for practicing in the Dragon Transformation Realm is too much, and it is hard to say whether he can enter the second level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, so the top-grade Yuanshi still has to be used for practice.

Suppressing distracting thoughts, Jiang Pingan took out three more top-grade Yuanshi and continued to practice.

After the three pieces of top-grade Yuanshi were consumed, Jiang Pingan stopped absorbing the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth to refine the Dragon Essence, and began to move the Dragon Essence to temper his skin.

For a moment, his skin all over his body exuded a faint golden light, like an immortal Buddha.

The Dragon Realm is divided into seven levels. In addition to continuing to strengthen and refine the Dragon Essence, the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, internal organs, bone marrow and Niwan Palace of the flesh are tempered from the first to the seventh level.

More than half a month later, Taiwu Mansion held a talent ranking competition for the whole mansion again after a year, regardless of new and old students.

However, the rules of the competition have changed: Shenzang Realm students no longer participate in team competitions, but directly advance to individual competitions. Yuanhai Realm students select the strongest thirty students through team competitions and individual competitions to participate in the Shenzang Realm student competition.

Now the total number of Shenzang Realm students in Taiwu Mansion has reached 43. If the students of the Shenzang Realm continue to participate in the team competition, it will seriously affect fairness. It is very unfair to the Yuanhai Realm students who were not assigned to the same team as the Shenzang Realm students, although bad luck is also part of their lack of strength.

After more than ten days of fierce competition among the Yuanhai Realm students, the Shenzang Realm students can finally draw lots to compete with the 30 selected Yuanhai Realm students.

Needless to say, Jiang Pingan won all the way with overwhelming strength.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Pingan found that Zhao Zhenming did not participate in the competition.

It turned out that Zhao Zhenming had left Taiwu Mansion and was no longer a student of Taiwu Mansion. The heavy casualties suffered by the students in the second training gave Su Yingluo a good excuse.

The second game of the semi-finals, Princess Bailing vs. Shangguan Xue.

(Note: Shangguan Xue's name is not a typo, it has been changed. I am very sorry if it causes trouble to you.)

Jiang Pingan, who had just defeated Yan Ruyu and won the semi-finals, stayed under the ring to watch the game.

As Princess Bailing and Shangguan Xue flew onto the ring, the audience under the ring immediately became excited.

Especially the male students, all of them were excited.

This was a duel between two of the four beauties in Taiwu Mansion.

Princess Bailing was still wearing a fiery red palace dress, noble and beautiful, with eyes full of light and spirit, which made many male students under the stage mistakenly think that Princess Bailing was looking at him.

Jiang Pingan saw Shangguan Xue for the first time in more than half a year.

Shangguan Xue's long black hair had turned into ice crystal silver, which was even more crystal clear under the sunlight. She finally combed her long hair into a cloud bun, and also wore hair accessories, and no longer tied a hairband between her eyebrows, which made her look more beautiful like ice.

The ice phoenix mark on her forehead was more obvious than more than half a year ago, and it was lifelike, as if it would fly out of her forehead in the next moment.

Her ice-like skin and jade-like bones, her cold and beautiful face were like ice jade carvings, her temperament was cold, she was not worldly, and she kept people away from her.

She was dressed in silver and white, with a graceful figure. She carried a blue long sword on her back and held an unsheathed ordinary sword in her hand (only ordinary weapons were allowed in the competition). When the wind blew, her skirt and long hair fluttered, like a fairy from the cold palace descending to the earth.

Princess Bailing and Shangguan Xue stood opposite each other, one cold and one hot, one red and one white, both of them were the most beautiful in the world, setting off each other, how pleasing to the eyes.

"Brother Jiang, who do you think is better?" Yan Yuru, who was standing next to her, asked softly.

Jiang Ping'an: "Shangguan Xue."

"Are you so sure?" Yan Ruyu said with a little surprise.

Although Shangguan Xue was unstoppable during this competition and her ranking was greatly improved compared to the last competition, Princess Bailing has always been in the top three.

Especially Princess Bailing is extremely talented, and the cultivation method is the best and most suitable, the magic and martial arts are also the best, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources. After this year, her strength must have increased greatly. She is not sure that she can defeat Princess Bailing again.

Jiang Pingan did not explain, but smiled and said, "Just watch."

Shangguan Xue only looked at Princess Bailing, not at anyone else.

But she was sure that Jiang Pingan was watching from below.

She would let Jiang Pingan see how she defeated Princess Bailing.

As the referee announced the start of the competition, Princess Bailing immediately released a Lihuo Xuanlong.

The Lihuo Xuanlong, with its terrifying high temperature, pounced on Shangguan Xue with its fangs and claws. Shangguan Xue drew her sword and slashed a icy sword energy at the Lihuo Xuanlong.

Lihuo Xuanlong was cut into several pieces in an instant, and was frozen. He fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and then slowly extinguished.

Under the ring, everyone couldn't help but be horrified, it was incredible that even the flames could be frozen.

"Too weak, release your Thousand Birds Facing Phoenix Vision." Shangguan Xue said coldly, "Otherwise, you have no chance."

Princess Bai Ling was surprised by Shangguan Xue's strength. She smiled and said, "You are a bit beyond my expectation."

After saying that, she released the vision of thousands of birds approaching the phoenix.

A high-pitched phoenix cry shook most of the people under the ring away. The audience was so frightened that they backed away from the ring.

Nowadays, the power of Princess Bailing's vision of thousands of birds facing the phoenix has reached a higher level.

Shangguan Xue didn't release her ice phoenix vision. She didn't have the ice phoenix vision before, and now it would be very easy to attract covetous people if she suddenly released it.

The vision of thousands of birds approaching the phoenix did not suppress her at all. She quickly made a magic spell, and a lifelike ice phoenix with a wingspan of more than three feet was quickly formed, and it also let out a high-pitched phoenix cry.

The next moment, she flew towards Princess Bai Ling, and the ice phoenix automatically flew to her feet, carrying her on its back, and its speed instantly increased by more than ten times.

Seeing this, Princess Bai Ling quickly waved her long red sleeves, and countless huge fireballs hit Shangguan Xue overwhelmingly, intending to block Shangguan Xue's advance.

However, the ice phoenix at Shangguan Xue's feet sprayed out a breath of ice air, freezing the fireballs instantly, and its speed of advance was not slow.

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Xue had rushed to Princess Bai Ling and stabbed her with a sword as fast as a meteor.

Princess Bailing only had time to use the third-turn fire elemental shield to block.

The long sword pierced the third-turn Fire Element Shield, which was immediately frozen. Then it cracked and fell. The tip of the sword was very close to Princess Bai Ling.

However, Shangguan Xue immediately withdrew his sword and knocked Princess Bai Ling away with a palm of her left hand.

Princess Bailing then fell onto the ring.

Under the ring, there was silence for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was full of shock and disbelief.

At the last moment, everyone except Jiang Ping'an thought that Princess Bai Ling would win.

"Put away your arrogance and fight me seriously!" Shangguan Xue stood on the ice phoenix and said coldly to Princess Bai Ling below.

Princess Bai Ling's pretty face was so red that she was bleeding. It was the first time she was defeated like this in public. Even when she lost to Jiang Ping'an, she was not so embarrassed.

She flew into the air again and said angrily: "As you wish!"

As she spoke, she quickly used magic spells, and all kinds of fire spells were thrown at Shangguan Xue.

However, after only half a cup of tea, Shangguan Xue's sword was already placed on her neck.

She failed again.

"Shangguan Xuesheng!" the referee announced loudly.

The shocked audience reacted and let out a roar that was deafening.

It was so unexpected.

Shangguan Xue almost crushed Princess Bai Ling.

The audience was shocked and excited and started talking.

"Shangguan Xue is so strong, Princess Bai Ling is no match for her!"

"Shangguan Xue's strength has improved so fast, it's incredible!"

"I declare that from today on, Shangguan Xue is the most beautiful woman in Taiwu Mansion!"

…

Yan Ruyu recovered from the shock, turned to Jiang Ping'an and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, it turns out that you have known Shangguanxue's strength for a long time."

"Know something." Jiang Ping'an said.

Yan Ruyu added: "Shangguan Xue's strength has soared greatly, and her personality has also changed a lot. She must have received a great opportunity."

"This..., I didn't think about it carefully." Jiang Ping'an said in surprise, and then he helped Shangguan Xue to cover up, "She was already very strong, but now her strength has soared, she must have accumulated a lot of experience. Shangguan Xue was from an ordinary background. There are no spiritual resources.”

Yan Ruyu was dubious, but did not continue the discussion.

Today's competition was over. In the afternoon and evening of that day, the entire Taiwu Mansion was hotly discussing Shangguan Xue.

Jiang Ping'an was a little worried about Shangguan Xue.

Shangguan Xue suddenly exposed so much strength in public, I'm afraid it won't be a good outcome. Just as Yan Ruyu guessed that she had obtained a great opportunity, I am afraid that the same was true for others, and it was easy for them to be coveted.

In the afternoon, the palace maid Caixia suddenly came to the door and asked Jiang Ping'an: "Mr. Jiang, can you comfort my princess?"

Jiang Ping'an was slightly startled, guessing that Princess Bai Ling could not accept the result of the morning's defeat. He then nodded and said: "After one stick of incense, I will visit the princess at her door."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Caixia gratefully bowed to Jiang Pingan and then left.

Jiang Ping'an's head got bigger. Although he agreed immediately, he didn't know how to comfort Princess Bai Ling.
