Chapter 264: Soul-Shaping Pill

The group competition ended quickly, and the next step was the joint competition between independent cultivators of the same realm. After all, the sect only had one out of ten cultivators, but independent cultivators only had three cultivators from each realm.

There is no need for physical training. There are few people, and there are no groups at the beginning. The competition is conducted directly according to the realm.

The first round of competition is declared over.

Everyone looked up at the final list.

【Zongmen Yuanying Stage

First place, Jiuqingyue

………

Foundation Establishment Stage

First place, Xu Ran

Second place, Zheng Ming

Third place, Han Yueshan

………

Sixth place, Zhao Xue

………

Tenth place, Xi Jing]

Tao Zi looked at the list, smiled, patted Xi Jing's head, and said, "To be ranked tenth at the early stage of foundation building is not bad."

She raised her head and said proudly, "I am the junior sister of my senior sister, how can I not be powerful?"

Han Yueshan was also very satisfied. The first place was at the Great Perfection level, and the second place was also at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. It was not shameful to lose to them.

Li Xiu, the only one who had nothing, sighed, "It's finally over. This is so horrible. I'd better just stay a medical practitioner."

Zhao Xue smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Senior Brother Li didn't give up and won the competition."

Everyone laughed when they remembered the conspicuous negative points behind his name on the scoreboard.

"I'm going to give up, and you guys are laughing even harder."

At this point, Zhao Xue whispered again, "This Jiu Qing Yue is quite strong. How come I haven't heard of his name before?"

The unlucky cultivator barely managed to place ninth in his realm. Having received his reward, he was in high spirits and replied, "Jiu Qingyue is a bit older and can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage no matter what. He's no match for Tiandao Sect's Wuyan. He stopped participating in the competition a long time ago, but this time, the Sword Sect even brought out Sword Mountain, so he couldn't help but be tempted."

The casual cultivator standing aside naturally joined in the conversation: "Come to think of it, with such a generous reward, Wuyan actually gave it up?"

Tao Zi knew a lot and said, "Wu Yan has never participated in the competition. Whenever he appears, he wears a mask or cloak. Few people know what he looks like."

Everyone was surprised. Li Xiu asked in confusion, "Then how did his reputation spread?"

Mo Yu smiled and said, "In one of the ruins, three sects and four schools were attacked by the Demon Palace. Only three people had enough strength to fight back and held their ground until the elders of each sect and school arrived."

Zhao Xue understood and blurted out, "It can't be Wuyan, Wangxu and... mmm."

Han Yueshan covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I see, that's really amazing."

Seeing them like this, Mo Yu smiled and said, "Among these three, she's the youngest in terms of age, but also the cutest..."

Xi Jing quickly interrupted him: "Friend Mo, are you hungry? If you are, let's go back and eat!"

What a joke, there are people from Minglan Sect here. If I feel sorry for poor Yue Qiran in front of them, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

He was a bit amused and said, "I haven't told you how the second round is going yet—isn't Fellow Daoist Han in the second round?"

Han Yueshan laughed dryly and said, "It's okay. I heard it from others."

At this time, the Sword Sect's responsible person stepped forward, and his voice echoed throughout the mountain: "The second round of competition will be held in two days. The rewards for the top ten independent cultivators will be distributed in half an hour. You can arrange your time accordingly."

After the unlucky monk received his reward, he smiled and said, "Now that I have received my reward, I will leave now. Everyone, I hope we will meet again in the future."

Tao Zi and the others said in unison: "See you again if we're lucky."

Watching him and his companions leave, Xi Jing felt a little sad: "We've only known each other for a few days, why do I feel so reluctant to let go?"

Han Yueshan patted her shoulder and said, "You can go and see if An Ran is free these few days, and then see if Xi Xiu is free. You won't have to give up when you have fun."

Xi Jing was choked and speechless.

The senior sister agreed: "That's right, you can go find An Ran."

Another powerful voice echoed across the mountainside: "The top-ranked Physical Cultivators of each realm, please come to the Sword Sect lobby. The Soul-Shaping Pills will be distributed there. The rest of you, please do not go. Also, the second and third place winners, please wait."

Xi Jing and the others' eyes lit up. Li Xiu directly dragged Tao Zi forward, but Mo Yu stopped him and reminded him, "Only she can go up."

Li Xiu let go of her hand feeling a little disappointed: "Oh, why?"

He said, "Maybe they're worried about accidents. After all, the first place in each round is not that strong - in the eyes of some monks."

Xi Jing didn't react and let out an "Ah".

Mo Yu continued, "Some people will choose to eat it on the spot. The Sword Sect should protect this type of physical cultivator. As for other cultivators, they can only rely on themselves."

Li Xiu's meaningful voice sounded: "Tao Mei..."

She said helplessly: "I know, you don't have to worry."

Under their gaze, Tao Zi walked up to the competition venue halfway up the mountain with the first place winners of each session.

A young-looking cultivator beside him smiled and said, "If I can repair my spiritual veins, I will work hard to enter the Three Sects and Four Gates."

Another person joked: "You can't just go in whenever you want."

"Oh, who cares? As long as my spiritual veins can be healed, I won't be a physical cultivator anymore."

Tao Zi listened to their conversation and reminded them, "It's very difficult to go from physical cultivation to other cultivation."

"I have to do it no matter how difficult it is. I've had enough."

The senior sighed in her mind, and then fell silent.

Tao Zi also remained silent, but she understood in her heart that few people were willing to take this path, and even fewer could persevere.

However, it is inevitable that people will feel sad when even these physical cultivators with good talents think this way.

When you reach halfway up the mountain, go in according to the order of body refining stage, solid stage, and flesh forging stage.

Want to know what happens after the Bone Tempering Period?

No.

He came out after more than half an hour of body refining, and his expression was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

The one in the Solid Stage smiled and said, "How is it?"

"The Sword Sect accepted me!"

With just these simple words, the envy on the face of the solid-state cultivator could no longer be concealed.

Tao Zi was surprised and asked, "Even if I use a pill, it won't work so quickly, right?"

The monk shook his head and said with a smile, "The medical practitioner from the Spring and Autumn Sect is inside. He helped me suppress the effects of the medicine. It will take about one or two months for my spiritual veins to return to normal."

He couldn't wait to walk in.

This time, it was very fast, only half an hour.

When he came out, he didn't look very good. Tao Zi asked, "What's wrong?"

He sighed and said, "No, even if I use the elixir, I can only be like an ordinary person. No sect will want me to practice Taoism, so I might as well continue with physical cultivation."

Tao Zi asked doubtfully, "Who did you trade the elixir with?"

"No deal, I used it too. Physical cultivation also requires spiritual energy. Such a good thing is hard to come by."

The man paused, his voice so low that Tao Zi could barely hear him: "The Ming Lan Sect wanted it, but because the things they offered weren't good enough, people complained about it. I was worried about something going wrong, so I didn't dare to trade with other sects and just used it for myself."
