In the Xiaoyao Sect Square, today is the day for the competition to obtain a place in the secret realm, so there are many disciples standing by the two arenas.
"Who do you think among those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter the secret realm this time?" a disciple asked while watching the competition on the stage.
Someone nearby immediately spoke up, "He must be someone with a high level of cultivation. Our sect has three people at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. If someone hadn't broken through to the Core Formation stage half a month ago, there would probably be five."
"Senior Brother Sun will definitely get a spot. He's currently the top outer sect cultivator. Next up will be Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Chen. I'm not sure about the others. Sometimes luck also plays a role."
"What about the Jindan stage?"
"Qin Bohuai will definitely have a spot, and Wen Zhuqing's cultivation is also sufficient. Although the others are said to have high cultivation, there are too many uncertainties. We don't know what the outcome will be."
"Let's see. Anyway, those who can't get in haven't signed up yet. I guess we'll have the results in two days."
"Second Brother, where is the eldest brother?"
Yue Yang shook his head, "Big Brother only said he was going on a dangerous mission and then left. He won't participate in this secret realm."
"Okay, what about you? Didn't you participate in the Jindan stage competition?"
"No, although Xiaoyao Sect had fewer resources before, it also caused most people to stagnate for many years. There are too many Jindan stage cultivators, there are more than a hundred above the seventh or eighth level. I am only at the fifth level now. What about you?"
"I've signed up. I want to go and take a look."
"That's fine. I trust your cultivation. Take these magical instruments with you. If you encounter any danger, just explode them. If you don't have any, come back and I'll refine them for you."
Yun Dandan nodded obediently, "Yes, thank you, senior brother."
Next to him, Lin Ye also handed over a storage bag, "Junior Sister, there are talismans in here. Although the grade is not high, the quantity is large. Just use them once they are in. I can draw a lot more in a day now, so we don't need them."
Helian Mo handed it over, not to be outdone. "It's full of pills and poisons. This is also part of your strength. Don't worry about relying on external forces. Don't waste any effort if you can."
Bai Ziyi waved his hand, and more than a dozen pill bottles appeared in front of him.
"These are all elixirs that can restore your physical and spiritual strength. Don't worry about not having enough. They should be enough for you to use until the secret realm closes."
"Also, my eldest brother asked me to give you a few sets of formation flags. They can all be used in the secret realm. I've seen them, and they're of very high quality."
"Thank you, brothers. You are so kind to me."
"You are our junior sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat you well? Please be careful."
"OK."
Not long after, Yun Dandan's name was called by the presiding elder. She was facing a male cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, whose strength was considered quite impressive by others.
"Junior Sister Yun, although you have made great contributions to the sect and I admire you, this is a competition and I will play seriously."
"Of course, I will take it seriously."
When the match started, her figure approached the man like a ghost, her movements were graceful and neat, and each move contained great power, because she had been training her body since the beginning of her cultivation. Now, cultivators who had completed their foundation building could only leave white marks on her without breaking her skin.
The man tried his best to fight back, but the opponent's attacks were endless, which not only put him in a passive position but also made him unable to attack from a distance.
After a few rounds, Yun Dandan broke through the man's defense. Looking at the tip of the sword next to his heart on his chest, he shook his head and sighed.
"I give up."
"Yun Dandan wins, next group!"
"I knew Junior Sister would win easily," Helian Mo said happily.
In the afternoon, Yun Dandan also won easily, and the top ten in the finals were decided the next day.
The next day, the sixteen people who won yesterday began to compete for the top ten. First, eight people were determined, and then two people were selected from the remaining people. At this point, the ten places in the Foundation Establishment Stage were announced.
The quota for cultivators in the Jindan stage has also been announced. After the elders recorded it, they were allowed to go back and rest and set off tomorrow.
The next day, a few people from Yueyang came to see her off. After giving her some instructions, they watched the spirit boat set sail.
"Junior Sister, you've come at a good time. When we came here, there was no spiritual boat to go out."
"That's pretty good. This is all earned by Junior Sister. But I heard her say she plans to lower her ranking next time. I wonder if the Sect Master will make things difficult for her..."
On the other side, the spirit boat was sailing in front of the clouds. The leading elder was meditating on the plywood and regulating his breathing. The other disciples did not dare to say a word.
Halfway through, they met disciples from other sects, the Qingxuan Sect that Yun Dandan was familiar with.
"Haha, Elder Sun, you guys have really been using the flying boat these past two years. I wonder if you can still maintain first place in the next secret realm competition?"
Sun Hong opened his eyes and said with a forced smile, "Then there's no need for Elder Chai to worry. Even if we're at the bottom, at least we've seen the scenery from above."
No matter what, we have won first place, and you haven't even won first place, yet you still have the mood to worry about others.
Chai Yong snorted coldly and quickly drove away in the flying boat. It was really annoying. He shouldn't have said such a thing.
During the rest of the journey, we encountered another sect, but they just sped away without even saying hello.
Yun Dandan was puzzled and asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Brother, is our sect so unwelcome?"
The man didn't expect her to ask him this. His face flushed slightly as he said, "Our sect used to have good resources, but because we valued character, some disciples with good spiritual roots were rejected. Some of them are now disciples of elders from other sects. You should know what's going on even if I don't explain it."
"They are truly crazy. Shouldn't they be happy to have a talented disciple? If I were to ask, they should even be thanking us. Otherwise, how could they have such a talented disciple so easily?"
"You're right, but they don't think that way. Plus, those disciples have feelings towards our sect, so friction often arises when they're outside. Over time, the relationship has developed into this."
"That's good too. This way, when I go out and meet other sect disciples, I don't have to worry about getting hurt."
"Well, Junior Sister, you still have to be careful. Some disciples with too high status can just be beaten up, but don't endanger their lives, otherwise I'm afraid the sect won't be able to protect you."
"oh."
The man sighed and continued, "It's because our sect is poor, otherwise it would have been a great sect by now."
"Doesn't the sect have a way to make a living? It's a way to make money, like running a shop or something like that."
"Yes, but there are too few, and the profits are not as good as other sects. Many of them have been closed over time."
"Alas, if this continues for a long time, perhaps all the disciples in the sect will run away, and by then I'm afraid we will be reduced to a small sect."
Yun Dandan's eyes turned slightly when she heard this, and an idea came to her mind. She would go talk to the sect leader when she returned from the secret realm. Then she would just sit there and collect money.
