In the second round of Baiyujing competition, Qiu Changtian fought against Guan Shanyue for the first time and won the first victory for Kunlun.

The second match is between An Zhisu and Luo Yan, and the third match is between Ling Yunpo and Xu Yinglian... When I look closely, why am I in every match on the list?

I took on all three rounds of the winner's group competition by myself, and I really took a lot of trouble. The Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church should give me a big red envelope.

Let's get back to the point. Qiu Changtian knew both the process and the results of these two games, so there was no need for him to watch them.

Before the duel with An Zhisu, he needed to do one extra thing, which was to make adequate preparations for the upcoming Danjie tribulation.

The so-called "golden elixir" is called differently in the classics of various schools.

Penglai is called "True Lead" and "Yang Dan", Kunlun is called "True Essence" and "True Water", and the name of Shushan is the most unique, called "Taiyi Han Zhenqi", and no one knows what the story behind it is.

Of course, people are usually accustomed to calling it "golden elixir".

The method of forming the elixir is very simple. It is that after the foundation of the Purple Mansion is established, "the virtual and the real meet" and "condense into a millet-sized bead".

As for how to "combine the virtual and the real" specifically, it depends on the different Dan-forming techniques of each school.

Low-level skills are often vague in this regard, so the quality and success rate of the pill will naturally be lower. Even if the pill is successful, it will most likely be of poor quality, causing people to cry at the sight of it.

A high-level technique can reveal the secrets of heaven in just a few words, so it will be twice as easy to form the elixir… Speaking of rank, is there anything better than Kunlun’s immortal-level secret technique, “The True Words for Entering the Nine Heavens”?

As for the Qi-refining techniques of his other creations, such as the "Tai Shang Hun Yuan Ri Yue Jing" and the "Xiao Mo Shang Ling Fen Bei Qing Zhu Jing", there is no need to mention them anymore.

If it’s not a secret method of immortals, I really don’t think highly of it!

In the "Nine Heavens Pure Land True Words", the secret method of forming the elixir is written very clearly, and even the corresponding heavenly tribulation is clearly marked:

To form the supreme nine-level golden elixir, when it reaches the third level, there will be one round of elixir-condensing tribulation; when it reaches the second level, there will be two rounds of elixir-condensing tribulation.

Every round of heavenly tribulation, like the one experienced by Senior Brother Xu Changqing before, has the power of a hydrogen bomb explosion that is almost devastating.

If the elixir is of first grade, one can enjoy three rounds of noble heavenly tribulations, and be given a package of soul-scattering and non-reincarnation, which is truly touching.

If Qiu Changtian now follows the first-grade elixir-forming method, he will have to go through three rounds of heavenly tribulations.

The first is the Five Elements Tribulation, and the specific type of tribulation depends on luck.

The second is the inner demon calamity. It is said that Kunlun has counted the cultivators who failed to form a golden elixir. For those who unfortunately encountered the inner demon calamity randomly during the period of forming a golden elixir, the death rate was as high as over 70%.

Anyone who has achieved the second or first grade of elixir will inevitably encounter the inner demon tribulation, not by chance. But for those with a clear mind, the inner demon is there just to send them off, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

The third is the Yin-Yang Tribulation... The "Nine Heavens Pure Land True Words" is vague here, only eight large characters describe the danger:

Thousands of disasters occur simultaneously, and there is no hope of survival.

Even though Qiu Changtian was usually calm, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

You might as well just ask me to buy a coffin.

While he was studying the Dan Ning tribulation, the winners of the competition among the top twelve were also being decided one after another.

In the winner group, An Zhisu narrowly defeated Luo Yan with a slight advantage, and Ling Yun defeated Xu Yinglian with a sinister hidden move.

In the loser group, due to Luo Yan's "overdrawn true energy" and "fainted", Miss Shi was obviously not in good shape. She used Taiwei Gouchen Yaopo Xingsha to block a few times, but found that her sword energy was messed up by Guan Zhan's sword energy, so she simply admitted defeat and hurriedly left to visit her junior brother.

Yan Zhitui struggled hard, trying to replicate Xu Yinglian's fighting style and trap Duan Fenhai with large-scale Taoist magic. However, he was seen through by the more experienced Duan Fenhai, who attacked him directly with his sword and killed Yan Zhitui in just a few rounds.

You are not good at swordsmanship, Junior Brother Yan! If you can't even hold up at the beginning, it will be useless even if you plan your tactics to the sky.

Everyone returned to the Tianmu Mountain base one after another, only to see Guan Zhan with a cold expression on his face, without any joy of victory, and he went back to his room silently.

Yan Zhitui was very helpless. He chatted with Qiu Changtian for a few words and then went to the training ground to prepare for the battle.

Xu Yinglian was defeated by Ling Yunpo using the "Three Swords of the Same Control" technique and failed to make the top three. When he came back, his face was full of frost and he was in a very bad mood. When he saw Qiu Changtian, he asked directly:

"Brother, when you were in the sea of ​​fire of the Great Bright Fire, your vision was clearly obstructed. How did you find my location?"

Ah, this... Qiu Changtian stood there in a daze, unable to answer.

Cold sweat broke out on my back.

Xu Yinglian hadn't noticed that he was behaving strangely, and just said angrily:

"I thought the Great Bright Fire could conceal my figure, but I didn't expect that he had somehow locked onto it and found an opportunity to cut right in front of me!"

"Also, this Lingyunpo can obviously control three swords at the same time, but he had been pretending to only be able to control the swords with two hands, catching me off guard. He is so cunning! I never thought that there would be such a cunning person in Shushan!"

Qiu Changtian quickly restrained his facial expression and said thoughtfully:

"It's not impossible to conceal your body shape with a large-scale Taoist method. As far as I know, for example, Duan Fenhai of Shushan is very good at the art of locating your position by sound. Even if you can't see it with your eyes, as long as the flying sword hits you in the air, it can lock your position through the sound."

"As for Lingyunpo, I don't know what method he used. But Junior Sister, your defeat this time was mainly due to your overconfidence in your own Taoism and your rash underestimation of the enemy."

"Of course I know!" Xu Yinglian said angrily, "I don't intend to put the blame for the defeat on my opponent! I just hate myself for making such a low-level mistake. It's abominable!"

She gritted her teeth, her face frosty, and became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She simply pulled Qiu Changtian back to the room and vented her anger.

Qiu Changtian knew that this junior sister had a strong personality, so he said some nice things to her, which finally made Xu Yinglian no longer feel resentful about the defeat, and her mood improved a lot... Of course, those are all later stories and will not be mentioned here.

The next day, according to the order of the draw, Qiu Changtian was left without a chance, and An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo faced off.

As a result, Ling Yunpo gave up on the spot and pushed An Zhisu forward to compete with Qiu Changtian for the first place.

Finally! I have completed three plots at the same time and finally reached the finals today!

Qiu Changtian was rubbing his hands in anticipation, wishing he could beat up Senior Sister An right away... No, I mean, it would be a wonderful thing to discuss Taoism and duel with An Zhisu, have a hearty battle, and decide the top spot in a grand manner.

An Zhisu had been waiting on the opposite side. When Qiu Changtian pressed the sword light down, he saw that An Zhisu's expression seemed a little gloomy.

Oh, think about it carefully: unfortunately, she was drawn into a civil war with her junior brother, and her junior brother deliberately admitted defeat and gave herself the opportunity to participate in the finals. How could Senior Sister An, who is extremely protective of her junior brother, be happy?

If Ling Yunpo had not patiently comforted Senior Sister An last night, telling her not to be too obsessed with winning or losing, An Zhisu would probably not be sad today, but would be so angry that she would want to kill someone to vent her anger.

"Fellow Daoist An." Qiu Changtian bowed and said, "Please give me your guidance."

An Zhisu looked obviously unhappy and bowed perfunctorily.

Qiu Changtian didn't care because he knew that Senior Sister An had been corrupted by Su Jian since she was a child and didn't know anything except how to chop people.

But how could the surrounding Kunlun disciples know this? Seeing that An Zhisu actually didn't give Qiu Changtian face and even saluted so perfunctorily, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation:

"Why is this Shushan chief so rude?"

"There are many reckless men in Shushan. Isn't it normal that they don't know the etiquette of dueling?"

"I heard that the chief had no master to teach him since he entered the sect. Such a ridiculous thing is impossible in Kunlun, but considering that it is Shushan, it is not surprising."

The map cannon hit the entire Shushan, and soon some Shushan disciples glared at the surroundings, forcing the Kunlun disciples who were talking to shut up with their murderous gazes.

But it was too late to stop talking now, because An Zhisu on the field had excellent hearing and had already heard the criticisms of the people around him.

No... Master... Reckless man...

"Fellow Daoist An." Qiu Changtian hesitated and opened his mouth, but An Zhisu bowed solemnly, clasped his fists and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have no prejudice against you. But now that you, a disciple of Kunlun, have insulted my sect, in order to defend the dignity of Qingluo Peak, I have no choice but to fight to the death!"

After she finished speaking, she drew out the Feiyan and Hanlie swords. Her whole temperament suddenly became like a sword out of its sheath, and she was immediately filled with murderous intent.

Qiu Changtian: ...
