Chapter 728 Chapter 730 Departure
Rong Xianxian had a very high success rate in carving primary-level talismans in the past, but she didn't expect that carving intermediate-level talismans would be so difficult now. Seeing that it was already late at night and there was still a competition tomorrow, Rong Xianxian stood up, stretched out a bit, and prepared to rest.
Although there were few participants in the second day's competition, it took a whole day to decide the final ranking. Each player who could enter the ranking competition had his or her own strengths, and many of them were of similar strength, making the fight hard to decide. Compared with the endless tricks of others, the methods used by Rong Xianxian seemed extremely monotonous. No matter who she fought against, she used the trilogy of Soul-Calming Bell, Thousand Silk, and Ice Spells. Her methods were simple, but she was able to defeat her opponent every time. She seemed to be weak when facing a weak opponent and strong when facing a strong opponent.
At the end of the day's competition, Rong Xianxian, Bai Yihan, Ren Chong, Mu Qingfan and Ze Lin defeated other opponents and ranked in the top five. Those five who had never fought against each other needed to compete one by one again to determine the final ranking.
In the past, when Rong Xianxian encountered a strong opponent, she either used highly lethal hot weapons or the Soul-Devouring Sword. After two days of competition, Rong Xianxian quickly adapted to the fighting methods between practitioners in this world, which mainly relied on spells. This made her understand the "Cold Flame Ice Sutra" more and more thoroughly. Originally, she could only use the most basic ice spells such as ice shield, ice wall, ice prison, etc., but now she can easily use more advanced ice spells such as ice realm, freeze, frost and snow, and even combine other people's moves, improve them according to her own understanding, and create new moves with greater power and less spiritual energy consumption. Among them, she is most proud of the move of the Sky-wide Ice Sword. The sword is in the shape of the Soul-Devouring Sword, icy and sharp, with extremely strong lethality.
Rong Xianxian was able to study the "Cold Flame Ice Sutra" thoroughly in such a short period of time and even create new moves, all thanks to the red hairpin she wore on her head that allowed her to see the trajectory of the spiritual energy in other people's bodies.
The ice soul bead in Rong Xianxian's body underwent a mutation when she was promoted to the Blood Refining Realm. This made the ice power she released purer, the ice harder, and the temperature extremely low. When she used low-level ice spells, the difference was not very obvious. When she used high-level ice spells, the power doubled. Onlookers were surprised to find that in one battle after another, the strength of this Miss Rong was rapidly increasing, like a sword hidden in a scabbard, gradually revealing its original sharpness.
In the ranking competition, when Rong Xianxian played against Bai Yihan, the two fought for a whole morning. In the end, Bai Yihan ran out of spiritual energy and lost to Rong Xianxian. In the afternoon, Rong Xianxian met Mu Qingfan. Mu Qingfan used a peculiarly shaped seven-stringed harp, which was the same soul weapon as the Soul-Calming Bell, but the seven-stringed harp had a wider range of sound, which just happened to restrain the Soul-Calming Bell. Fortunately, Rong Xianxian was carrying a soul-fixing crystal to avoid being interfered by the seven-stringed harp. There were mechanisms everywhere on the seven-stringed harp, and every string could move. Rong Xianxian had never seen such a weapon before and was almost hit by the strings several times, which made her very embarrassed for a while. If it were not for the help of the spiritual energy detector, Rong Xianxian would not be able to defeat Mu Qingfan without using the Soul-Devouring Knife and hot weapons.
The ranking competition took two days to end. Rong Xianxian ranked first and got the Fantasy Cloud Pearl.
Ren Chong's attitude towards Rong Xianxian remained friendly and enthusiastic, and did not change because of his defeat to her. After the ranking competition, Rong Xianxian returned to Nanning City to find Hongxiang's family and gave Hong's mother a final treatment. Hong's mother looked in very good condition and looked much younger. Hongxiang and her brother could not hide their joy on their faces and were very grateful to Rong Xianxian.
On this day, the flying boat sent by Tiangong Mountain was preparing to set off back to Kaiyuan Continent. Rong Xianxian looked at this three-story high flying boat, which looked like a ship, with curiosity, and boarded the flying boat with Ren Chong, Bai Yihan and others.
This flying boat is the largest alchemical product in the fairy world and can accommodate thousands of people.
To reach Kaiyuan Continent, one has to cross an extremely vast ocean, and it will take more than a month at the speed of this flying boat. During the flight, the flying boat will stop at two fixed islands for inspection and maintenance to ensure safety.
Rong Xianxian looked at the white clouds floating outside and felt a little bored. "Miss Rong, what are you looking at?" Ze Lin from Bagua Gate came over and asked.
"Look at the scenery outside, Master Ze, weren't you helping to maintain order in the front? Why are you coming to the back?" In addition to the cultivators, there were a small number of passengers who were not cultivators on the flying boat. They were weak and could not withstand the shock and shaking caused by the acceleration of the flying boat. In order to ensure their safety, cultivators were needed to input spiritual energy into them. Ze Lin had just been invited by Mu Qingfan to transmit spiritual energy to ordinary people.
"Now the flying boat has stabilized and everything is fine in the front. Why should I stay over there? It's more peaceful here in the back." Ze Lin said with a smile.
"Is this the speed of this flying boat? Or will it accelerate later?" Rong Xianxian silently calculated the flying speed of the flying boat and found that this speed was not even as fast as the high-speed rail before the apocalypse, not to mention the supersonic single-person fighter jet modified by the new martial arts academy after the apocalypse that she had prepared in the foggy space.
"Isn't this speed fast enough? This can be considered the fastest flying boat. After all, it is a product of alchemy and it is definitely not as fast as a flying magic weapon. Miss Rong, is this your first time riding on such a large flying boat?" Ze Lin asked her.
"Yeah, flying so slowly, it feels a bit boring." Rong Xianxian had been looking at the scenery outside the window. She originally wanted to remember the terrain she passed by, but she found that there was only foggy water outside and no landmarks. Apart from using a compass to determine the direction, there was no way to locate their current location.
With a "bang", the flying boat shook violently, and the ordinary passengers in the front and middle of the flying boat screamed in fear. Rong Xianxian's body shook, and she looked at the huge waves that suddenly rose in the water below the flying boat and asked Ze Lin, "Master Ze, what happened?"
