Entering Taoism from the womb

Jiang Pingan was startled and immediately turned around to see an old black dog standing at the corner of the wall two or three feet away.

The old black dog stared at him fiercely with its dog eyes, its mouth half open, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth, full of deterrence.

It was the old black dog that was so cunning in touching corpses and destroying them.

"Old Black Senior, how did you get to Yujing?" He walked towards the old black dog in surprise and asked in ventriloquy.

The old black dog turned his head away proudly, with his head facing the sky at a 45-degree angle, and hummed in ventriloquy: "You were imprisoned in a pigpen for twelve years and still made it to Yujing. Am I, an old dog, not as good as you?"

"Old Black Senior, how can you expose my shortcomings when you meet me?" Jiang Ping'an said with great sorrow, "I miss you all the time."

The old black dog hummed disapprovingly: "Aren't you also slandering me behind my back?"

Originally, it only planned to take a look at Jiang Ping'an and leave, but it didn't expect that this kid was so unkind that he actually made up such a story behind its back.

It hasn't been close to dogs for many years!

This is intolerable, what is unbearable!

Jiang Ping'an smiled embarrassedly and changed the subject: "Old Black Senior, I will treat you to a big meal, a real big meal."

"Do you have dragon liver and phoenix wings?"

"This... I can't afford it for the time being."

"It's not a big meal without even dragon liver and phoenix wings. I won't go, I'm not interested!" The old black dog said disdainfully, turned around and left.

Jiang Pingan hurriedly called out, "Old Black, why are you leaving? We are old friends, why don't we sit down and chat?"

Old Black Dog turned a deaf ear to him and had no intention of stopping.

Jiang Pingan had no choice but to call out, "I'm in Taiwu Mansion, come and play with me when you have time. By the way, I changed my surname, now I'm Jiang Pingan--"

Before he could finish, Old Black Dog had already gone far away.

Jiang Pingan felt a little regretful, his charm was still not enough, he couldn't even trick an old black dog into being a battle pet.

Oh no, no, I was kind enough to take care of Old Black Dog until he died.

Before dark, Jiang Pingan took Jiang Yiyi, who was reluctant to leave, back to Taiwu Mansion.

The medicinal materials for Yuanqi Pills were purchased, and he bought the best quality spiritual herbs on purpose, in order to refine a few more Yuanqi Pills of the highest quality.

He only ate the highest quality spiritual pills, and the spiritual pills of poor quality could only be sold.

The two returned to Taiwu Mansion. Not far from the entrance, they saw a group of people gathered in front of a bulletin wall, pointing and talking.

Jiang Pingan had sharp hearing. He vaguely heard the three words "Zhao Zhenming" and immediately guessed that there was information about the handling of Zhao Zhenming's servants on the bulletin wall.

So he squeezed in to watch.

As expected, the bulletin wall was posted with the results of the handling of Zhao Qingshi.

The general content was: Zhao Zhenming was fined 100 taels of silver, Zhao Qingshi was beaten with 50 boards and was forbidden to enter Taiwu Mansion.

100 taels of silver was not a lot of money for Zhao Zhenming, but it made him lose face in the entire Taiwu Mansion.

As for Zhao Qingshi, regardless of whether the 50 boards were heavy, his fate in the future would most likely be miserable. He would suffer for his own sins.

Jiang Pingan squeezed through the crowd, and Jiang Yiyi immediately went up to him and asked expectantly: "What is the matter? Was Zhao Zhenming fined silver?"

Although she was standing outside the crowd, she could also hear a general idea from the discussion.

Jiang Pingan repeated the content of the announcement, and Jiang Yiyi clapped her hands happily.

Back at Jiachen No., Shangkun Court, Jiang Pingan saw that the door had been repaired. When he entered the front yard, Chen Donglai immediately came to meet him.

"Master, the Law Enforcement Hall has dealt with Zhao Zhenming and his servant." Chen Donglai said, and respectfully presented a receipt from the Law Enforcement Hall to Jiang Pingan.

Jiang Pingan picked up the receipt and glanced at it casually. The content was similar to the one on the announcement wall.

Chen Donglai continued to report: "Master, just now a teacher came to inform: Gather at the Grand Martial Arts Square at 9:00 tomorrow morning. The school will make specific arrangements for the ranking competition of the geniuses the day after tomorrow. No one is allowed to be absent."

"Well, I know." Jiang Pingan nodded.

Gengshen No., Shangkun Court, Zhao Zhenming's residence.

Zhao Jinglian complained to Zhao Zhenming: "Brother, on the first day of the opening of Taiwu Mansion, you became a 'celebrity' in Taiwu Mansion, and almost made me 'famous'."

"It is indeed my inconsideration about this matter." Zhao Zhenming said calmly.

Zhao Jinglian continued to complain: "Although that rubbish has no real ability, he is very insidious, cunning, despicable and shameless. He showed his true colors on the spaceship. You should deal with him seriously instead of sending a useless servant."

Zhao Zhenming listened to Zhao Jinglian's advice calmly and seriously: "Sister is right, I was careless."

After a pause, he said confidently and calmly: "Although the start is not favorable, it is not a big problem. Dahuang is a world where strength is respected. As long as we show our strength in the upcoming genius ranking competition, everyone will soon forget today's episode."

"Yeah!" Zhao Jinglian responded, with a pair of phoenix eyes showing a hot look of expectation, rubbing her hands.

She was very confident in her own strength, and she couldn't help but imagine herself shining in the genius ranking competition in her mind, becoming a proud daughter of heaven that everyone looked up to, and countless princes, princes, saints, etc. bowed down at her feet.

Suddenly, a nasty figure appeared in her fantasy picture.

"Oh, no!" She suddenly screamed.

Zhao Zhenming was so frightened that he immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong, sister?"

"The ranking competition for the next day's genius requires everyone to participate, and that loser will definitely participate. He will definitely fail miserably, and may even be at the bottom, or even the last." Zhao Jinglian said anxiously, "We will be discredited by him. Brother, what should we do?"

As she said this, she was almost crying.

Zhao Zhenming couldn't help showing some worry on his calm and confident face.

After all, Zhao Ping'an is still their half-brother. Once they perform too well, someone will definitely use Zhao Ping'an to discredit them.

By then, it is inevitable that there will be some flaws in the perfect jade.

On the spaceship, he came up with many strategies to prevent Zhao Ping'an from embarrassing them, but now time is too tight and he has no time to implement them.

After thinking for a while, he comforted Zhao Jinglian, "Although he is a mortal, he is not a fool. I heard that he has a good understanding, and I think his martial arts skills are not bad, so he should not be the last one. If it really doesn't work, I will bribe his opponents and never let him be the last one."

"It can only be like this." Zhao Jinglian was reluctantly relieved.

At the end, she complained, "Why do we have to deal with him? Brother, he bullied me on the spaceship, he deserves to die, can we..."

"Let's talk about it later, this is Yujing after all, and there are many situations beyond our control." Zhao Zhenming shook his head calmly.

The next morning, all the students gathered in the large martial arts square in the central area, and Li Wenzheng, the fourth person in Taiwu Mansion, appeared and presided over the meeting.

Li Wenzheng is a half-step great power in the seventh layer of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was born in the Holy Confucianism. He is a dignified middle-aged man with a black beard. He wears a blue wide robe and a tall black square Confucian crown.

Li Wenzheng did not waste words. He only briefly explained the reason for holding the Genius Ranking Competition and announced the rules of the Genius Ranking Competition.

The rules of the competition are to draw lots to form five-person teams in the early stage, and to conduct four elimination matches in teams, and finally win 19 teams, a total of 95 people.

Among the 19 teams, the two strongest students in the team will be qualified for the first list competition. The first list competition is a single-person competition, and the final chief student, second-place student, quarter-place student... and so on will be obtained.

The last three students of each of the 19 teams will compete in the second list competition, which is also a single-person competition. The top ten will participate in the first list competition to compete for the chief student, and the remaining students will be ranked from 49th to 95th.

As for those students who were defeated in the team elimination match, their rankings will be determined by the team rankings.

During the competition, the use of talismans and elixirs is prohibited, and only ordinary weapons are allowed.

After Li Wenzheng announced the rules of the competition, the students were immediately drawn.

Li Wenzheng swept a large basket with his sleeves, and immediately 1,500 small balls flew out of the basket and scattered to 1,500 students.

Students rushed to grab a small ball.

There was a string of numbers written on the surface of the small ball.

Jiang Pingan looked at his ball, and the number on it was 135.

"The number on the ball is your team number in the competition." Li Wenzheng ordered, "Students should find the instructor to register according to the number of the ball."

"Let's start."

The next moment, 1,500 students immediately became a mess, and they all looked for their corresponding instructors to register.

A total of 30 instructors sat behind a desk, prepared pens and ink to register, and each instructor was responsible for registering ten teams.

Half an hour later, all students completed the team registration, and took the opportunity to find their teammates, and then left the martial arts square to find a place to get familiar with their teammates, discuss tactics, etc.

Jiang Pingan's team was four men and one woman.

"My name is Ji Bailing, I was born in the palace, you can call me Princess Bailing." The only female student introduced herself directly, her voice was very clear and pleasant, and her tone was gentle, like a lark singing.

Her eyebrows were like distant black, slender and slightly curved, as if containing endless agility and playfulness. Her almond eyes were as bright as stars, and her eyes seemed to be able to capture people's hearts. Her nose was straight, and her cherry mouth was red without any makeup.

She was wearing a white palace dress with fluttering sleeves, and exquisite flower and bird patterns embroidered with gold thread. A golden ribbon was tied around her waist, which made her figure more graceful. She wore gorgeous gold ornaments and Yuanshi on her head, and her step-shaking lightly swayed, making crisp sounds with her movements, which made her even more beautiful and lively.
