The Crappy Rules of the Hundred Races Conference
"The little monster doesn't pay any attention to you!"
Tang Zifeng didn't glare at him this time, but just kept silent. This made Lin Yijun feel proud and at the same time a little sympathetic.
After all, he is the number one weapon refining genius in our Xiling! It's a disgrace to our Xiling that
you are so bad at chasing after female cultivators. Lin Yijun sighed and said with a guilty conscience: "Listen to me, don't wait for her to come over, if she doesn't come, just go by yourself. A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man! Although the little monster is bad, we have to admit that she is still bad with capital. There is no limit to the number of male cultivators chasing after a female fairy like this. If you have no means and are thin-skinned, you will be squeezed to the limit."
Lin Yijun also had several passionate romances and felt that he was still experienced, so he gave advice:
"You are like this, You have to stand in front of all her suitors, be affectionate, gentle and considerate, and observe male ethics when she looks at you. When she looks away, turn into a tiger warrior and drive away all the suitors around her, or if you can't drive them away, then wait until there is no one around her, or she finally finds out how good you are, then you can successfully pick the peaches. "
Tang Zifeng listened to Lin Yijun's chatter, and finally turned his eyes away impatiently. He wanted to say that it was not what you thought.
But the words were on his lips and he couldn't say them. In the end, he didn't say a word. He pursed his lips, hummed very lightly, turned around and left.
He went in the direction of Qin Ruqing.
Lin Yijun's eyes widened, not angry but happy, clapping her hands and saying, "Hey, the direction is right!"
Her eyes flashed, and she said to the two people behind her, "You two wait here for me, I'm going to find Elder Qin to reminisce."
On Qin Ruqing's side, Qirong excitedly shouted, "Brother Tang."
Lu Wei was also very happy, showing an obvious smile. It was Qin Ruqing who glanced at Tang Zifeng in a "cold" way, with no expression on his face.
Although Tang Zifeng didn't believe what Lin Yijun said before, this cold look did make him uncomfortable.
But after not seeing each other for several months, why is the attitude so different before and after.
Tang Zifeng opened his lips and just uttered a word: "Qing..."
Lin Yijun came up from behind like a dog skin plaster, "Elder Qin, we meet again~ Have you missed me since we last met at the banquet?"
Qin Ruqing's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. Seeing this, Lu Wei clenched her fist to her lips and smiled softly, saying:
"Let's find a quiet place to talk first."
There were many empty rooms in the Xianpin Bureau, and the teams of the aristocratic families had not arrived yet. If they left for a while, no one would say anything, so they went to a guest room.
As soon as the door closed, Qin Ruqing's aloof demeanor collapsed. "I'm dying of suffocation. This character setting is not good. I always feel that it will be ruined. I should change it..."
After muttering to himself, Qin Ruqing turned his gaze to Tang Zifeng first, raised his arm and shook it, "Hello, Xiao Tang, long time no see~"
"Why didn't you come to the banquet last time? We wanted to tell you about it!"
Seeing the familiar Qin Ruqing coming back, Tang Zifeng's tense heart relaxed, and he whispered: "Last time... I was following Master Minghua to build a spaceship, so I didn't have time."
Lin Yijun also wanted to speak well of them, the genius of Xiling, and added: "Tang Zifeng is now Master Minghua's apprentice~"
Qin Ruqing glanced at him, his eyes bright, "Tang Zifeng, you really listened to me!" You really
took advantage of the Immortal Product Bureau and the Refining Instrument Guild.
Tang Zifeng nodded seriously: "Yes." You really took advantage of them.
Lin Yijun didn't understand and looked between these people, "Elder Qin, what are you talking about?"
Qin Ruqing looked at her and raised her eyebrows, "Fairy Yijun, after all, we are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite to call me Elder Qin?"
"Tsk, you don't call me Fairy Yijun either, then what should I call you?" In fact, what she wanted to call the little monster the most was Wow, but unfortunately she didn't dare.
Qin Ruqing giggled and opened her lips: "Qin Ruqing, or, Sister Qing."
Lin Yijun's eyes widened, "Wow, I'm older than you, and you still want me to call you Sister Qing, don't be too ridiculous. I'd better call you by your name." Of course, call you little monster!
Qin Ruqing turned around and formally introduced: "This is my third sister, and this is me, uh, brother."
Lin Yijun smiled friendly to Lu Wei, smiled charmingly to the handsome boy, and then turned to look at Qin Ruqing again, "So you are the youngest in the family, and I am the eldest at home."
Qin Ruqing said, "Oh," and bared his teeth: "It doesn't matter, I am the elder."
KO!
Lin Yijun choked directly.
After chatting for a while, the noise outside became louder. It sounded that the noble family team had almost gathered, and Qin Ruqing and others went out.
In the corridor outside, the fifth Ziyan and the fifth Lingyu followed the director of the Southern Region together. The fifth Ziyan was respectful, and the fifth Lingyu was casual.
The director general said, "I heard that you two both like a person and think she is qualified to go to the Sixth Region?"
The Fifth Wing Feather shook his head, "That's not the case. It's just that I like her and invested heavily in her, but the Fifth Zi Yan didn't."
The Fifth Zi Yan paused and almost couldn't help but ask, "How do you know I don't like her? If you hadn't intervened, I
might have fooled her into going to the Sixth Region." The Fifth Wing Feather was shameless, but he was. He
then flicked his whisk indifferently and said, "She is from my Southern Region."
It means that no matter how many tricks you use, they can't compare to this natural regional advantage.
The Fifth Wing Feather casually fanned his sleeves, "Oh, from Guixu onwards, it only depends on ability, not region."
The Fifth Zi Yan choked. The Fifth Wing Feather KO!
The chief director was also aroused by what he said and said, "You have aroused my curiosity as well. Show it to me later."
The three of them turned the corner of the corridor, and a layer of golden light appeared on their bodies at the same time. They continued to move forward calmly, and then stopped in the middle of the pavilion.
Although there was no obstruction in front of the three of them, the team of noble families in the courtyard ignored them, as if they didn't know that the chief director they had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.
The chief director was about to say who it was, but a golden-clothed fairy in the east of the courtyard turned her head and looked in the direction of the pavilion.
The chief director hummed curiously, looked at the golden-clothed fairy for a while, and said, "What a pair of smart eyes, what a sharp spiritual sense. Is it her?"
"She looks like a first-class smart girl."
The Fifth Feather looked at Qin Ruqing, who was dressed up today, with a strange look
in his eyes. He admired her carefully for a while before saying, "The little girl's personality is more interesting than her appearance." The Fifth Ziyan was puzzled for a while. In his heart, Qin Ruqing was a symbol of career prospects. He also knew that this girl was full of mind and must not be fooled by her sweet mouth. However, he really didn't pay attention to her appearance. He only knew that she was a very pretty and smart girl.
Now that she is so serious about herself, it gives people a sense of freshness.
The three big figures of the Xianpin family put their hands in their pockets and looked carefully for a while before removing the t to cover the golden light. From the perspective of the family team in the courtyard, the three directors suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a flash of golden light. After being shocked, they stood up one after another.
The only one who was not surprised was Qin Ruqing. She had just sensed movement in the pavilion, but she had not expected that the three directors had used invisibility to cover themselves up and watch the excitement.
The families stood together according to their regions, waiting for the director to speak.
This was the first time Qin Ruqing met the director-general of the Southern Region. To be honest, the first impression of the director-general was that he was like a small mountain.
Tall, strong, and mighty. And the most eye-catching feature is that its feet are like small boats, which reminded Qin Ruqing of a mythical figure, the Barefoot Immortal...
the Barefoot Immortal... no, it was the Director-General who spoke:
"You are all the elites of my Southern Region. I don't need to tell you why you are gathered here today. You compete with the elites of the other three regions to prove yourself, for the glory of your family and your territory."
"I will only say the following things once. If you didn't hear it clearly, there is no need to ask again. Just go home on your own."
"The Hundred Races Conference selects true geniuses and true strong men! All your actions and choices in the Hundred Races Conference must meet these two standards. Anyone who does not meet them will be eliminated."
"Next, I will introduce the rules of this conference to you. You need to make a choice, and this choice will determine your performance in this conference. Please make a careful decision and give it full consideration!"
After the director general finished speaking, he ignored the discussions below, and a golden light appeared in his palm. The golden light floated in the air, and then split into countless small dots and fell into the hands of each participant.
Qin Ruqing only felt a coolness in his palm, and a jade slip appeared in his hand.
"It takes three days to fly from the South Region to the East Region Buzhoutian. You need to make a choice during these three days. Tell me the answer to your choice before the spaceship lands."
"Now, get on board."
The fifth Zi Yan took out a miniature boat and threw it into the sky. The boat began to grow gradually after it left his hand. Finally, with a flash of golden light, it turned into a mighty ship with two raised ends and sails.
The ship slowly lowered the ladder.
If this director-general were a boss, he would be the kind of person who pays great attention to efficiency and doesn't talk too much. He felt that he had just said everything he needed to say, so he took the lead and started to get on board first.
Seeing these noble families standing there blankly, like ignorant chicks just released from a cage, the Fifth Feather smiled and said loudly:
"What are you all standing there for? Do we have to invite you one by one?"
Qin Ruqing was not stunned. She was just reading the jade slip. After she finished reading the contents of the jade slip and had an idea in her mind, she was the first to leave.
"Let's go, get on the boat first!" She took the lead and became the second person to get on the boat after the director-general.
The two directors of the West and South stood on the left and right of the lowered stairs. Qin Ruqing walked up to them and saluted them respectively.
When she was about to go forward, she found that these two people had followed.
No, you don't have to wait until everyone is on the boat before coming up! Then why are you standing by the stairs like door gods?
The fifth feather sent her a message from behind: "Why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
It's so annoying, this person is here again, so curious!
Qin Ruqing began to fool, "Because I like to be coquettish."
The fifth feather: "Don't bullshit."
"Okay. Because I want to be famous, I want to deceive, I want to let these people down! I also want to be the number one female fairy in the South Region, or even the number one female fairy in the four regions. I want both talent and reputation. Do you believe this?"
The fifth feather's laughter resounded wildly in her mind, "Hahahaha, I believe it, it sounds like your true thoughts."
Didn't he know that this little mouse was very courageous, had a big appetite, and was very ambitious.
Want to be the number one female fairy in the four regions, and want both talent and reputation? ——This is simply too Qin Ruqing.
Qin Ruqing's head hurt from his laughter, so he stopped walking and tiptoed up.
Diwu Ziyan, who was behind him, had just answered the call and wanted to send a message when Qin Ruqing flew away.
Diwu Ziyan: "..."
Diwu Lingyu's laughter echoed in Diwu Ziyan's head this time, "Hahahaha, you were a step slower, and I woke her up."
Do you know that you are noisy?
The long-browed immortal almost rolled his eyes regardless of the immortal's etiquette, but in order to save face, he also flicked his whisk and flew onto the cabin.
After assigning cabin numbers to the aristocratic family teams, the spaceship started.
It was a bit like a flying yacht, with three floors in total. Qin Ruqing and the Nanling family representative team lived on the third floor. Because the third floor has the smallest space, and the southern domain families have the least people:D
Similarly, the northern domain has the most participating families, so they live on the first floor with the largest space.
After receiving the room number, Xiao Tang decisively abandoned his two fellow contestants and ran upstairs to meet Qin Ruqing and the others.
Now the four of them gathered together, around a small square table.
Qin Ruqing: "Have you read the jade slips? Do you know the rules?"
Qirong exclaimed, "What? Sister, you have finished reading it?" When did you read it?
Qin Ruqing rolled her eyes, "Okay, you don't have to read it, I'll introduce it to you!"
Then she said seriously, "This jade slip actually doesn't introduce the detailed process and details of the conference. In fact, it only said one thing, asking us to make a choice."
Lu Wei nodded and whispered, "Is it the choice that the director-general emphasized before?"
Qin Ruqing hummed, "About the choice of the competition track. It is not clear how many rounds the conference will be divided into, but this competition track runs through it all the time."
"To put it simply, do you want to participate in the military strength track or the professional skills track."
"As for the martial arts competition, I don't need to say much, it all depends on personal combat power. Generally speaking, this kind of competition basically defaults to martial arts competition, but this would be unfair to some weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators who are not good at fighting. Maybe the conference thought of this and opened up a professional competition track."
"Formations and talismans have the same origin and belong to the same category. The other two are weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators. There are only these three major professional competition tracks."
Qi Rong was delighted and looked at Tang Zifeng and Lu Wei: "Great, in that case, people like Third Sister and Big Brother Tang don't have to compete with us in combat power."
Lu Wei also clenched her fists with some excitement. The main reason was that although alchemy cultivators like them were allowed to use elixirs in battle, they were indeed not good at fighting. Although she is a dual practitioner of alchemy and sword, if she really participates in the martial arts competition, she will still be at a disadvantage when competing with those sword practitioners and magic practitioners who are good at fighting.
Tang Zifeng's eyebrows moved, and he glanced at Qin Ruqing without saying anything. He saw from Qin Ruqing's expression that this matter is not that simple.
If you really practice whatever Taoism, you will sign up for whatever competition, then what is the "choice"? There is no need to hesitate at all.
Qin Ruqing shook her head, "It's not that simple. There are only three professional tracks, and these three are the major categories of cultivation for cultivators, so it's understandable to open them up. However, the jade slip clearly states that only three of the top ten places in the Hundred Races Conference will be in the professional track."
"That is to say, if you want to compete for the top ten places, you have to get first place in the professional track!"
Qin Ruqing looked at Lu Wei and said in a shocking voice, "Third sister must get first place in the way of alchemy!" Then he turned to Tang Zifeng, "Tang Zifeng must get first place in the way of weapons!"
Qirong opened his mouth and finally understood the pitfalls of this so-called choice.
There are three professional tracks in total, but there are only three top ten places. That is to say, each profession can only be divided into one, and if you want to enter the top ten, you have to get first place in the profession!
But is the first place easy to get? Even if someone has the ability to win the first place, his ranking may drop due to luck and other reasons.
But he obviously has the ability. It is too regrettable to miss a precious opportunity because of only one chance and accidental luck.
Qirong clenched his fists: "This professional track is too risky and the competition is too fierce. Otherwise, you should join us in the martial arts track. At least there are more chances."
Tang Zifeng shook his head and said without any hesitation, "Grandmaster Minghua asked me to get a top ten place, saying that this is related to the artifact drawings. I have no chance at all in the martial arts track, so I can only go to the weapon track."
Artifact drawings! Qin Ruqing was stunned and interrupted, "Tang Zifeng, you really got the clue of the artifact drawings!"
Tang Zifeng nodded seriously and looked at her: "I always remember what you said to me."
Qin Ruqing praised him: "Well done!" He rolled his eyes and said, "Is it related to Guixu?"
Tang Zifeng was really shocked this time, "You knew?"
That's it.
Qin Ruqing smiled, "I also know that the reward for the top ten in this conference is actually a competition for the quota for Guixu."
"But..." Qin Ruqing knocked the jade slip on the table, "This jade slip doesn't mention any rewards at all. The news of Guixu should be monopolized by the upper class, and only a small number of families with channels and resources know about it."
"If you don't know how many benefits are hidden behind the top ten, how can you go all out to fight? Even if it's for the family, there is not much difference between the top ten and the top eleven, but from the actual benefits, there is a world of difference."
"The gap in information will make some people make different choices."
After saying this with a sigh, Qin Ruqing looked at Lu Wei: "Qi Rongt and I are undoubtedly in the martial arts competition. Tang Zifeng wants to compete for the top ten and has just made a choice. Third sister, what about you?"
Qin Ruqing emphasized again: "Third sister, you may not know what Guixu is. It doesn't matter. I can tell you that this is a place of opportunity. You are very likely to find the mansion of the ancient alchemy master in it, and then get his inheritance. If you don't enter the top ten, you will have no chance at all."
The inheritance of the ancient alchemy master!
Lu Wei was silent. While Lu Wei was thinking, Qin Ruqing also sighed in her heart.
The classification of these two tracks is a bit like the general college entrance examination and the competition recommendation.
Should I take the normal college entrance examination route, which is more difficult, or should I take the competition route, which is more difficult?
Lu Wei did not think for long. She smiled slightly and said firmly, "I will choose the alchemy route."
"Actually, there is no complicated reason. Although I practice swordsmanship, my swordsmanship is average. I have a better talent for alchemy, so I have a greater chance of success if I choose the alchemy route... Moreover, I also want to know how my alchemy skills compare to those of my peers."
Qin Ruqing was not surprised at her third sister's choice. She touched her chin, thought for a while and said, "Third sister, you don't have to worry about it. Just go forward boldly. Even if you don't get the first place, there may be a chance for this matter to turn around."
This conference has been emphasizing quotas, but it didn't say whether it is a quota for one person or a quota for a family?
If it's just one person, then it's enough. If it's a family...
Of course, even if it's just one person, Qin Ruqing thinks there's still room for maneuver.
Some things are up to you:D
