Chapter 269: Eventually it will be exposed, so let’s just muddle through for now (12)
Chapter 269: It’s going to be exposed after all, let’s get through it for the time being
The battle within the formation is very fancy.
The monk in the late stage of foundation building is actually a genius. His Qi sea may not be as perfect as the foundation building perfection, but the purity of his spiritual energy is actually even better!
Therefore, he and the Foundation-Building Dzogchen cultivator's spells clashed, and for a while, he was able to win.
But the gap is a gap. After all, there is a big gap between the later stage of Foundation Establishment and the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
He is not a truly heaven-defying genius, so the small gap in realm caused by the extra twenty or thirty years of practice time will be difficult to make up for!
As for other means to make up for it, such as magic weapons, talismans, or sinister and powerful spells that need to be hidden, and other outdoor combat skills such as wits and killings, they are completely useless within the formation.
Therefore, under the attack of pure cultivation and mana, after one stick of incense, the later stage of foundation building fell into a complete disadvantage, until it failed.
However, with Hong Shao's careful observation, he will never be injured or even crippled again.
"In the second round, Zheng Yu won."
Hongshao easily suppressed Zheng Yu's last spell and waved his hand lightly: "Those who draw three lots will enter the battle formation."
Chu Chuanming stood up calmly.
Another late-stage foundation-building monk also stood up with a serious look on his face.
The two entered the formation to compete, and the result was not surprising.
Chu Chuanming used the White Bird Secret Technique to easily suppress the enemy again and defeated the opponent with one move.
"In the third round, Chu Chuanming won."
Hong Shao's voice remained the same: "Those who draw four lots will enter the battle formation."
The last of the foundation-building Dzogchen and late-stage foundation-building monks stood up and entered the formation.
Still no surprises.
Han Luo, who had built the foundation of Dzogchen, won the battle.
At this point, the winners of the first round are Yu Xian, Zheng Yu, Chu Chuanming, and Han Luo.
"The following are the four winners of the loser group. They challenge the four winners of the winner group. They are drawn randomly. This is also the last round of competition. The four who win in the end will receive rewards from the sect master and participate in the inner sect foundation building competition. Compare."
Seeing this, Chen Manman said calmly, glanced at Yu Xian casually, waved his hand and said, "Let's draw lots."
Of these eight jade lottery sticks, four on each side, the four winners of the loser group randomly took four in the late stage of foundation building. Yu Xian and other four foundation building consummators also randomly took four.
Yu Xian turned over his hand and looked at the jade sign, two.
The final competition between the four foundation-building Dzogchen and the four late-stage foundation-building teams was held, and the result was still without any surprises.
Yu Xian ended the battle directly with a Xuantian Spirit-Slaying Technique.
The other three people also finished quickly, and it was finally decided that Yu Xian, Zheng Yu, Chu Chuanming, and Han Luo could participate in the inner sect competition. The others should practice honestly and don't waste time.
After all, they can't even beat the four Foundation-Building Perfection Masters of the Alchemy Sect, let alone the dozens of powerful Foundation-Building Perfection Masters from the Inner Sect.
There was no way it would be their turn for the final ten spots.
But Guo Pin, what a pity...
Perhaps if he hadn't encountered a pervert like Yu Xian, a guy with the strength of the Fifth Holy Son, he would have been able to compete for a place among the top four, or even a top ten in the inner sect competition.
It's a pity that he harmed himself by insisting on it.
If you don't admit defeat when you have no spiritual energy, then who do you blame?
After all, when you are fighting with others, you can't just think about others holding back, right?
However, after Guo Pin was deposed, although everyone had different thoughts, most of them actually felt a sense of... pleasure!
Such a strong person, a foundation-building Dzogchen monk with a high chance of entering the golden elixir, was now deposed. Apart from a little regret, they felt more teasing and wanted to laugh happily...
There are people who hate people, but there are no people who laugh. This will never change.
After the final four people were selected, Hongshao waved his hand to close the formation, took one step back to the upper position, sat down calmly, and said calmly: "The four winners will stay, and the rest will go back. Practice well and don't divide." What kind of competitions are there in your heart? These competitions are meaningless. Practitioners should not always think about comparing with others, but compare with yourself. Practice hard, lay a solid foundation, become stronger day by day, and strive to enter the golden elixir as soon as possible. That’s what you should do, go ahead.”
"Follow the Lord's order."
The eleven defeated disciples, as well as other disciples watching the battle, all bowed and saluted, then turned and left.
Only You Xiaohua still stood there with a calm expression.
Although she did not participate in the competition to win or lose, she was qualified to directly participate in the inner sect competition.
Hong Shao glanced at the five people and said calmly: "In a few months, the selection for the Inner Sect Foundation Building Competition will begin. There will be hundreds of competitors. When you compete, if you feel that you can't resist, don't resist forcefully. Just admit defeat to avoid injury or even death! I don’t believe that those Jindan judges can have a higher insight than me. With my insight, one person will be injured and crippled, let alone the foundation building in the future. The competition, huh... caused the sect to fight within itself, and the disciples to become enemies and resentful. Such a big competition is really unbelievable..."
When the five people heard this, they nodded quickly and said, "I would like to follow the instructions of the sect master."
"This fourth-level high-grade soul nourishing essence pill is your reward for winning this time. After swallowing it, practice well and prepare for the inner sect competition in seven months."
Hongshao nodded lightly, raised his hand, and four bottles of treasure pills flew towards Yu Xian and the other four winners.
The four people quickly reached out and took it: "Thank you, Master, for the elixir!"
Hong Shao nodded and waved: "Yu Xian stays, the others can go back."
The three people's expressions changed, they glanced at Yu Xian, all showed a strange look, then turned and left.
Yu Xian destroyed Guo Pin's Qi Sea, which was no different from killing Guo Pin!
And destroying a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment was a violation of the sect's rules. Even if it was unintentional, he would definitely be punished. I just don't know whether the punishment is big or small...
The three left, and only four people were left in the hall.
Hong Shao and Chen Manman looked at Yu Xian calmly from the upper seat.
You Xiaohua stood calmly on the side, but although her face was calm, her eyes were complicated.
Yu Xian looked calm. Seeing the three people leave, he took the initiative to bow and said, "I hurt Senior Brother Guo. I am willing to bear the punishment for this crime."
"Don't talk about this."
Chen Manman spoke first, looking at Yu Xian and said coldly, "Li Shuxian's disciple actually ran to Haotian Sect. Are you a spy of the Blood River Sect!?"
"I am not a disciple of Senior Li."
Yu Xian shook his head and said solemnly, "I just helped Senior Li refine the elixir once. I am a disciple of the orthodox Baiyun Sect, a true orthodox cultivator! The master of the sect can prove this for me."
"Really?"
Chen Manman sat up straight, her plump body seemed even more tense. She looked at Yu Xian with a cold look and said, " Since you are a disciple of Baiyun Sect, how could you get involved with Li Shuxian who destroyed Baiyun Sect? And you helped her to make pills? Hmm? If you don't tell the truth, I will search your soul! "
"After Baiyun Sect was destroyed, I had nowhere to go and could only be a casual cultivator temporarily. Later, because I knew how to make pills, I was invited by Senior Li to compete in pills to help her regain her face. How could I disobey a powerful Jindan master with my low cultivation level? I had to go, and that's how I competed in pills with my senior sister. This was not what I wanted. After the pill competition, I left Senior Li and went west to find my master. I met the master of the sect again, and was brought to Haotian Sect by the master of the sect. "
Yu Xian had no fear on his face, just looking at Chen Manman and speaking calmly.
Now that the matter has been exposed, there is no need to hide it, just tell the truth.
As long as I don't say that I killed You Xiaocao, everything else doesn't matter to Hong Shao.
Chen Manman looked at Yu Xian, his eyes flickering, thinking.
You Xiaohua did not speak. She did not want to mention the matter of the Liancao furnace, otherwise her master would be suspicious.
As for Hongshao, she sat in the upper seat, her beautiful face calm and expressionless, just looking at Yu Xian, as if thinking.
Yu Xian did not look like he was lying.
Chen Manman had also said that there was a casual cultivator who was only in the middle stage of foundation building, but he actually won the alchemy battle against You Xiaohua who was already in the late stage of foundation building. Hongshao was also amazed at this at the time, saying that there were also alchemy geniuses among the casual cultivators, but it was a pity that they were not accepted into the Medicine King Valley, otherwise such a talent would surely be able to go further.
But I didn't expect that the casual cultivator was Yu Xian?
This kid... can make alchemy?
Then why did he look down on me when I said I would teach him the way of alchemy?
Could it be that he... actually looked down on my way of alchemy?
This brat...
"Yu Xian."
Hong Shao finally spoke, calmly: "Who did you learn the way of alchemy from? Is it your master Xiao Wusheng? If I remember correctly, he seems to be just a great perfection cultivator in foundation building, and his alchemy skills can only make fourth-level pills at best? How can he teach you to make fifth-level pills?"
Yu Xian bowed slightly to Hong Shao and said: "My Lord, Master, my master led me into the sect and taught me the way of alchemy. He can only make fourth-level pills at best. The fifth-level pills I made later were made by my own thinking and understanding, not taught by others."
"Heh..."
Chen Manman suddenly laughed, looked at Yu Xian and said: "Then you are really a genius in alchemy, you made fifth-level pills by yourself."
"I dare not hide it from the elder. I don't dare to be a genius in alchemy, but the fifth-level pills are really made by me by looking at the pill formula. No one taught me."
Yu Xian turned his head and looked at Chen Manman, neither humble nor arrogant.
Chen Manman looked at Yu Xian and wanted to kick him, but she finally held back and rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, you can do whatever you want. If he is a spy of the Blood River Sect, it will be very troublesome in the future."
"He is not a spy."
Hongshao looked at Yu Xian and smiled faintly, saying, "His character does not allow him to be a spy."
Yu Xian's eyebrows moved slightly, but he did not speak, but turned his head and bowed to Hongshao again.
"Sister, you really know him."
Chen Manman said, "Forget it, if you say he is not, then he is not. Xiaohua, do you have anything to say?"
You Xiaohua looked up at Yu Xian and shook her head and said, "Junior Brother Yu is more skilled and defeated me in the alchemy battle. I have nothing to say."
"Did he win you fairly?"
Chen Manman said with displeasure, "He used your sister's alchemy furnace to ruin your mood, otherwise the alchemy you refined might be a top-grade elixir."
When You Xiaohua heard this, her eyes suddenly shrank, and she couldn't help looking at Hongshao, revealing a nervous look.
Yu Xian's expression also changed, but then he returned to normal.
Only Hong Shao's smile froze slightly, and she said slowly: "What sister's alchemy furnace? Is it You Xiaocao's?"
"Yes, it's You Xiaocao's."
Chen said slowly: "I remember that You Xiaocao died on Shengxian Island, right? Her alchemy furnace appeared in Yu Xian's hands, and she said she bought it in the casual cultivator market. Yu Xian used that alchemy furnace to make pills, wouldn't Xiaohua be upset? Then he would definitely lose the alchemy competition."
"Yu Xian."
Hongshao closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again with cold eyes. She looked at Yu Xian and said slowly: "I remember when you left Shengxian Island, you once said that you had been climbing the ladder to heaven for a few days. What? You just came down without doing anything, right?"
Yu Xian looked up at Hong Shao and said calmly: "Yes, but I lied at that time, because I killed many people!"
Chen slowly frowned.
You Xiaohua's face turned a little pale.
Hong Shao looked at Yu Xian, her eyes flickering slightly. Her Taoist heart, which had not been shaken for many years, was actually a little shaken at this moment!
She actually didn't want to listen to what Yu Xian said!
What if... Xiaocao was killed by him?
Kill him...or not kill him?
"Uncle!"
But at this moment, before Yu Xian could speak, You Xiaohua said quickly: "Junior Brother Yu has already told me everything. The secret realm of Immortal Ascension is completely a trap that can harm people..."
You Xiaohua quickly recounted what Yu Xian had told her, and finally said seriously: "In fact, Junior Brother Yu helped Xiaocao take revenge."
"Yeah?"
Hong Shao glanced at You Xiaohua, then at the calm Yu Xian, and said slowly: "Killing each other, a place to raise voodoos... It sounds like the truth, but how should I trust you?"
"If the master doesn't believe it, the disciples can't explain it."
Yu Xian shook his head, looked directly at Hongshao and said, "Then let's search for the soul. This disciple will die without any regrets."
Hong Shao frowned.
You Xiaohua hesitated to speak, with deep complexity in her eyes.
Chen slowly reached out to touch his chin, and couldn't help but scratch his thigh with one hand...
The choice was no longer in his hands, so Yu Xian happily handed it over. It was only up to Hong Shao to decide whether he would live or die.
Although this feeling of not being able to control life and death is extremely uncomfortable.
But there is no way, if Hong Shao wants to search for his soul, he can't run away! We can only sit back and wait for death.
If you really search...then die, it will be regarded as paying for You Xiaocao's life!
Yu Xian's eyes were bright, without any hint of guilt, fear, hiding, or avoidance.
He has a clear conscience! Of course there is no guilt at all!
Hong Shao looked at Yu Xian, as if she wanted to see the depths of his soul through his eyes. After a moment, he said slowly: "That's it, the secret realm is vicious. It seems to be caused by some evil formation. I will bring it with me after a while." Go and investigate for yourself! And if you kill the monk, you have avenged Xiaocao, and this matter will no longer be pursued!"
After saying that, Hong Shao took a deep breath, stood up, took a step forward, and disappeared without a trace.
There were more than forty people who entered the Ascension Immortal Secret Realm, so the chance of Xiaocao being killed by anyone was one in forty!
And just for this 1 in 40 chance, do you search for Yu Xian?
Once searched, if it is true, his death will be regarded as revenge for Xiaocao.
But what if not! ? He was searched for his soul and died in vain! ?
I'm afraid it will be difficult for the red peony root to survive in the future! Because she will definitely have inner demons!
So Hong Shao would not gamble, even if You Xiaocao was her beloved disciple, she would not gamble.
After all, Yu Xian also liked her very much. Of course, this liking was not a matter of men and women, but the elders' liking for the younger ones.
Xiaocao...that's all.
Originally, if you go to the secret realm of Ascension, there is a risk of falling... But you have to go, life or death depends on your fate...
Hong Shao left.
Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This kind of life and death is not controlled by oneself but by others, and the feeling of others' thoughts is really bad!
"Hmph, my sister doesn't search for souls? If I look at it, you are the murderer."
Chen Manman looked at Yu Xian and sneered: "It's just that you are very good at pretending. I saw it before at Li Shuxian's place."
"Back then, with Senior Li, the disciples really couldn't help themselves."
Yu Xian showed a hint of helplessness and said: "If the disciple doesn't fight for the elixir, Senior Li will not let the disciple go. The elixir fight will make the elder displeased and bear a grudge. Naturally, the disciple can only cover his face with a bamboo hat, his voice is hoarse, and he dare not show it to others. "
"Hold a grudge?"
Chen slowly stood up and said with an evil light in his beautiful eyes: "Why, do I look like that kind of person who holds a grudge?"
"It doesn't look like that."
Yu Xian looked at Chen Manman seriously, shook his head and said: "The elder has a beautiful face, a body like a swimming dragon, and grace like a giant. It is rare in the world. No matter how you look at it, she is a strange woman with a pure heart and a kind heart. Isn't it right? Is he the evil person who holds a small grudge? I don’t know what others think, but I don’t believe it.”
"Forehead……"
Chen Manman's expression froze on the spot.
Even You Xiaohua's slightly nervous expression was stunned. She looked at Yu Xian with a look of disbelief on her face.
