Chapter 254 Competition Rules
Tao Zi frowned. Something was wrong here. Not to mention the challenge later, even the previous one was too much.
In previous competitions, cultivators at the Jindan and Yuanying levels would be sent to compete with their peers before the competition to estimate their strength range and then divide the competition range according to their realm.
But now everyone is competing in a rough manner. Which physical cultivator would dare to come?
Xi Jing looked at her senior sister and whispered, "I heard that the rewards for the top three physical cultivators in each realm are quite generous, enough to attract physical cultivators to come and humiliate themselves. Um, the last sentence is Xi Xiu's original words, not mine."
Tao Zi raised an eyebrow, and Xi Jing continued, "The Sword Sect says that physical cultivators aren't suitable for using swords, especially the swords of Sword Mountain. They also cherish swords, so they've raised the requirements for physical cultivators to enter Sword Mountain."
Yue Qingya glanced at Tao Zi with a smile and said jokingly, "Isn't the Sword Sect afraid of encountering a physical cultivator who can resist the Golden Core Stage?"
"According to Xixiu, there is no cultivator as powerful as this in this world. The strongest one can only barely tie with a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence Stage."
Han Yueshan became interested and asked, "Who is it?"
"Xing Zhan, but he can't come, and he won't participate in this kind of competition."
Hearing this unfamiliar name, they lost interest.
Zhao Xue then asked, "Are you so sure he's the strongest? What if there are other hidden cultivators?"
Tao Zi smiled and said gently, "He is the strongest physical cultivator known to the world."
Xi Jing looked at her puzzledly and said, "Senior Sister, why are you in such a good mood?"
"I'm not good with swords, so it doesn't matter if I enter the Sword Mountain or not."
Is there any faster way to become famous than defeating them one by one?
Yue Qingya noticed Tao Zi's hidden excitement and couldn't help but smile. He said, "It's very challenging."
She smiled and said, "Yes, it's very exciting."
Han Yue suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister, have you cleared the toxins?"
She smiled and said, "It's cleared. It's a good time to try my hand."
A month later, the Sword Sect announced the specific procedures of the sect competition. The rules for physical cultivation only sparked discussion among a small number of people, while others were more concerned about one thing - the candidates who would enter Sword Mountain.
The rules of the Sword Sect this time have changed greatly from the past. In the past, the initial test was to select three out of ten, and these three out of ten people would then participate in the final competition to select the top three in each realm. But now it is to select one out of ten.
Only the first place in each realm can enter Jianshan, and the second and third place will receive other rewards.
But it is different for physical cultivation - as long as you are in the top three in your realm and can defeat cultivators in the Lingji period and below and defeat a Jindan cultivator, it will be fine.
Regarding this, the already few physical cultivators almost burst into curses and went back home.
Fortunately, the Sword Sect promptly released the reward for the first place in each realm of physical cultivation - the Soul-Shaping Pill, and the rewards for the second and third place were also particularly considerable.
The Soul-Reshaping Pill can reshape the spiritual veins and is a sixth-grade pill. There are no more than fifteen people in the entire world of immortal cultivation who can make this kind of pill.
The Sword Sect really suffered a heavy loss this time.
The physical trainers silently put down their luggage.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xiu grabbed Tao Zi's clothes and refused to let go: "Sister Tao, am I your brother?"
Tao Zi coldly denied: "No."
"What did you call me?"
"Leave the doctor."
Li Xiu pretended not to hear the two responses and continued, "That's the Soul-Shaping Pill! My lifelong dream is to become a dual practitioner of medicine and alchemy. Now that your spiritual veins are healed, can you let me study this pill?"
Zhao Xue whispered, "Senior Sister isn't necessarily the top scorer in the Flesh Refining Stage."
"No, you don't understand. She must be!" Li Xiu looked at her with sparkling eyes. "Sister Tao, after I get this elixir, I will go through fire and water for you, even if it means giving myself to you in return!"
She pulled his hand away: "That's not necessary."
"Tao Mei!"
Li Xiu is clinging to someone's thigh - literally.
At this time, someone opened the door and walked in.
Cheng Wuchou: "... Where is Fellow Daoist Li?"
The flower monk who followed closely behind said casually: "Flirting."
Tao Zi weakly supported his forehead, kicked Li Xiu aside, and said, "It's okay, I was just joking."
"Tao Mei!"
"I know, stop arguing."
Li Xiu was immediately satisfied and stood up happily.
Cheng Wuchou got straight to the point: "I plan to participate in the competition as a casual cultivator, what about you?"
Tao Zi nodded and said, "We too."
He looked at them in surprise and said, "According to the rules, independent cultivators must be in the top three in their realm to participate in the final competition, while sect disciples only need to be in the top ten."
Zhao Xue silently asked: "Only?"
"It's easier than practicing as a casual cultivator."
Han Yueshan shook his head and said, "As for independent cultivators, if we can get into the top ten, we will get rewards. But it's too difficult for sect disciples. We may not even be able to enter the final competition."
"That's true."
Xi Jing grumbled, "This is blatant discrimination. Why should independent cultivators compete separately from sect disciples? Why can only three independent cultivators from each realm enter?"
The Flower Monk whispered, "Uh... this is actually a form of protection for independent cultivators. Before this rule came out, there were competitions where no independent cultivators entered the final round, and this happened more than once. The rewards for the top ten were also a disguised form of encouragement."
"Okay, I misunderstood."
Tao Zi listened to their conversation, looked at Cheng Wuchou, and said, "Senior Cheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"There is a deal, Miss Tao, do you want to make it?"
Everyone quieted down.
Cheng Wuchou smiled slightly and said, "Our Cheng family has forged a weapon for Miss Tao, in exchange for the Soul-Shaping Pill. I can see that Miss Tao doesn't need this pill."
Li Xiu's hair was about to explode, and he pricked up his ears to listen.
Since Tao Zi had already promised Li Xiu, she would not promise anyone else, so she gave the reason and refused.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "No problem, the one who researched this elixir is Li Daoyou's master, it would be better if the master and the disciple work together."
"Are you sure I can get it?"
"Just give it a try. It's okay if it doesn't work."
Tao Zi smiled, then turned to look at someone in the corner and said, "Li Xiu, what do you think?"
"Can."
She nodded in agreement, and Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. My Cheng family will collect all the information we can for Miss Tao."
Tao Zi accepted this extra help without hesitation: "Thank you."
When Cheng Wuchou turned around, Hua Seng also turned around, and they were stunned. Han Yueshan asked, "Does this guy still remember who he came with?"
The Flower Monk's voice came: "There are too many people here, and I won't feel at ease if I don't stay with Yuanying."
Everyone looked at Yue Qingya, and Hua Monk stopped in his tracks after realizing it belatedly: "Yes, there is also a Nascent Soul here. Senior Cheng, I won't leave. Please tell Second Young Master Cheng."
"I'll talk to An Yue. Don't worry, I'll just stay here."
Only after he left did Tao Zi relax, her fingers unconsciously brushing across the storage ring.
