Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 100 This is called prudence
Li Yanmo was very satisfied with the schedule.
This time, the Ganzhou competition was unprecedentedly lively, and even cultivators from outside Ganzhou came to join in the fun.
In the past Ganzhou competitions, only the top three cultivator sects in each group received rewards, and there was no such thing as a participation award.
According to the Taoist style of doing things, they can only prepare rewards for the top three at most, and are unlikely to be willing to waste energy preparing participation prizes for some Qi-cultivating monks. In the end, it will be Qingshan Sect itself that will pay, and Qingshan Sect is only a subsidiary sect of his Taixu Sect. How can it be Qingshan Sect's turn to pay?
The expenses of building the sky island, entertaining contestants of the Ganzhou competition, plus the expenses of participation prizes, this wave will inevitably result in huge losses!
However, Li Yanmo was again confused about the grouping.
Is he considered a Qi training cultivator when he is at the eleventh level of Qi training and one and a half levels of foundation building? Or a foundation-building cultivator?
Li Yanmo thought about it and signed up for both groups. At worst, he would use his Qi training skills when dealing with Qi training cultivators, and use his Foundation Building skills when dealing with Foundation Building cultivators.
On the stage, the elders of Qingshan Sect and Mei Chai Shao were counting the rewards brought by Taoism in front of Hong Chang, the Taoist envoy.
As they were counting, the Great Elder Lin Tian suddenly cried out in surprise that there were bugs. He directly took out the scroll of the Disha Magical Power to Take the Clouds and pulled it open. The other elders immediately stepped forward and looked around with wide eyes. After a few breaths, all the elders dispersed with confidence.
Hong Chang's eyes jumped fiercely, "Everyone, this is the reward for this Ganzhou competition."
"Of course we know! Lord Envoy, I'm just worried that some despicable people want to steal the rewards of this Ganzhou Competition!"
Lin Tian stuffed the scroll into the storage bag with a righteous look on his face. The other elders nodded and took out other magical skills and read them openly. The third elder, who was a sword cultivator, used his sword to perform the Earth-level sword technique, Ghost Sword Three Slashes, openly.
The original intention of the Taoist sect in holding the Ganzhou Competition was to stimulate the sect's development, so the magical powers awarded as rewards can be read repeatedly as the sect's foundation.
At this time, Mei Chai Shao, who was watching the bean-casting soldiers, also spoke up. He frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice, "Look at you! Sir Envoy, don't worry, I will teach these bastards a lesson right away!"
Hong Chang tilted her head back slightly. She wanted to believe Mei Chai Shao, but Mei Chai Shao seemed to be the least reliable among this group of people.
Facts proved that Hong Chang's intuition was correct. Mei Chai Shao hit each elder on the head and started to lecture them loudly.
"You guys! Don't you know that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen? What's the point of just memorizing them? Go and copy all these magical skills! Have you ever thought about what to do if a thief steals these?"
Mei Chai Shao stuffed the scroll of turning beans into soldiers into his sleeves, turned around and bowed to Hong Chang, "Master Envoy, do you think I'm right?"
Hong Chang took a breath of cold air and forced a smile, "Ancestor Mei is indeed cautious, but I don't think anyone in this Ganzhou can steal these from you, the fusion ancestor."
"Hey - the world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things."
Well - these guys really want to switch the original.
Thinking of Hongxia's instructions, Hongshang could only put on an expression of sudden enlightenment and forcibly ignore the behavior of the Qingshan Sect elder who openly copied the contents of the magical skills.
At this time, Liu Wuchang put his hands behind his back and suddenly sighed. He looked older. This sigh scared Hong Chang, "Sect Master Liu, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, it's just that Dao Sect doesn't seem to have prepared any participation prizes. When I think about Qingshan Sect preparing so many participation prizes, I feel a little tired. If they prepare too little, it will be a disgrace to the Ganzhou Competition and even Dao Sect. Maybe there won't be so many people coming to the Ganzhou Competition next year. Well, even if we drain Qingshan Sect's resources, our Qingshan Sect will definitely not let people look down on the Ganzhou Competition prepared by Dao Sect. It's just... hey - I don't know if Qingshan Sect can hold on until the next Ganzhou Competition..."
Hong Chang's face gradually darkened, especially at the end when Liu Wuchang openly rubbed his thumb and index finger towards her.
"Sect Master Liu, you are joking. This Ganzhou Grand Competition is a joint decision of millions of sects. Naturally, Qingshan Sect should not bear all the expenses. However, this time the Ganzhou Grand Competition is different from the past in terms of scale and competition system. How about this, after the Ganzhou Grand Competition is over, please prepare a detailed account book without any omissions! The Dao Sect will verify it! In the future, all expenses, including the construction of this sky island, will be reimbursed."
Hong Chang placed great emphasis on the words "no omissions" and "verification".
Judging from the current performance of Qingshan Sect, she has every reason to believe that these elders will tamper with the account books and take kickbacks.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Taoist envoy. By the way, I would like to thank Taoist on behalf of all the disciples of Qingshan Sect," Liu Wuchang bowed.
Hong Chang was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant. At this moment, the sound of mighty footsteps rang out.
Large numbers of cultivators dressed in Qingshan Sect uniforms poured out. Most of them were only at the first or second level of Qi training, and their ages varied greatly. The youngest was only eleven or twelve years old, while the oldest was already in his early fifties with gray hair on his temples. Their numbers were so large that they crushed all the aristocratic sects.
"Ahahahaha - to be honest with you, the Qingshan Sect has had a good turn of events this year and has accepted many outstanding disciples."
Liu Wuchang laughed loudly, but Shang's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She now understood why Qingshan Sect insisted on changing to a point system.
With so many people, the participation points alone are enough to crush other sects and families. If a participation prize is taken into account, Qingshan Sect will definitely make a fortune in this Ganzhou competition. In terms of foundation resources alone, it can even become a first-class sect in some Zhongzhou.
But now that things have come to this, Hong Chang can't take back her words. The scenes of Mei Chai Shao and Liu Wuchang hanging and wailing seem to have happened just yesterday. There is no need for her to make herself unhappy for a few resources. For the Taoist sect, the Ganzhou competition has already been won, so it doesn't matter if Qingshan Sect makes a small profit.
This was the only way Hong Chang could comfort herself.
In the crowd, a man wrapped in a cloak moved with the crowd, his eyes under the cloak were full of bloodshot and hatred.
"Qingshan Sect... I will turn your Ganzhou Grand Competition upside down!"
As he said this, the young man viciously ate the banana in his hand along with the skin, and after he was done he raised his right hand high.
He needs strength, he needs the power of revenge! So you have to eat hard, eat all of Qingshan Sect’s spiritual fruits, and then use this power to slap Qingshan Sect hard in the face!
When he thought of the astonished expressions of the elders of Qingshan Sect, he couldn't help but laugh strangely.
"I want some more fruit!"
The spirit bird flying in the sky immediately fell down and threw a durian to the young man.
“…”
Why do you still grow durian?
