Shenxiang Peak.
Representatives from the five major holy places were arranged in five directions, followed by their respective disciples. Further behind them were the first-rate sects that participated in the holy land meeting. They were also led by their elders, who wanted to gain benefits in the Demon Garden.
If he could stand out in this Demon Garden Trial, it would not only be beneficial to himself, but also to his sect.
Li Changan arrived late and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Good morning, everyone..."
Zhou Yuan's face darkened. "If you're any later, I might have to ask the headmaster to come and invite you personally."
Li Changan's expression tightened. He lifted his skirt and took two steps forward. "Welcome everyone to my Taixuan Sect to participate in the Holy Land Meeting Trial. The Meeting Trial, held every fifty years in Northern Continent, is not only a highlight for the five major holy lands, but also an opportunity and blessing for all the sects in Northern Continent."
Li Changan paused, "The trial site this time is my Taixuan Demon Garden. In the center of the Demon Garden, there is a Demon Sealing Tower. The Demon Tower has nine floors. Whoever reaches the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower will be deemed the winner."
"The winner can go to the Canglan battlefield to resist the demon tribe. The resources obtained will belong to the sect. In addition, they can also obtain prizes provided by the five major sacred places."
"The prizes for the five sacred places are: a peach from Beitianmen, a ginseng fruit from Taixuan Sect, a chance to travel to the sword tomb in Chaoyang Ancient City, a drop of blood from the sacred beast in Sifang Pavilion, and a spell from Aries Academy."
Li Changan clicked his tongue and sighed.
Not to mention the ginseng fruit and peaches, they are both high-grade fruits of the Tao. If you have the opportunity, you can even comprehend the idea of harmony with the Tao.
But it may also be the same as myself, with no use except to quench thirst.
The sword tomb in Chaoyang Ancient City is the same as the sword washing pool of Taixuan Sect, but the difference is that there are several heavenly-level artifacts in the sword tomb, while the highest-level spiritual sword Chengtian in the sword washing pool of Taixuan Sect is only a top-level earthly-level artifact.
If you are lucky enough to obtain a magic weapon of heavenly level, it would be a great blessing.
The other sacred beasts of the Sifang Pavilion have essences and blood that are different from the blood of the Canglan demon clan. They are four divine beasts that have sensed the Great Dao. The golden dragon of Beitianmen can only be said to have the blood of a real dragon, but it is not a real golden dragon clan. However, the Azure Dragon of the Sifang Pavilion is a real real dragon.
Of course, no one has ever seen the Azure Dragon or the White Tiger, so whether they still exist today is still debatable.
But it is undeniable that if you really get a drop of blood from a divine beast, it is very likely that you will completely change your physique and achieve the supreme Taoist body.
The last one is a spell from Aries Academy. It is a bit dull in comparison, but it is also very attractive to the practitioners in Beizhou.
This shows that the five holy lands invested heavily in this holy land meeting.
After hearing Li Changan's words, the people from the five holy places were still able to remain calm, but the disciples from other sects were completely enraged.
"The sword tomb in Chaoyang Ancient City! All I need is a good sword. If I can get the first prize in this trial, tsk tsk..."
"What's so good about a sword? It's just an external object. In my opinion, the essence and blood of a divine beast are the most powerful. If one can obtain the true flame of the Vermillion Bird or the power of the Azure Dragon, they will be able to surpass their peers and soar to the top..."
"Hehe, you all don't understand, right? The most precious thing is actually the Dao Fruit, which is a divine object that can comprehend the Great Dao. Do you know why the cultivation world says that turning back to the void is a natural chasm? It's because the difficulty of the Great Dao is beyond imagination."
"If you ask me..."
Li Changan looked at the people whose emotions had been successfully aroused, squinted his eyes and smiled.
"However, unlike previous trials, this one isn't free. Well, each participant needs to hand in one thousand spirit crystals, which serves as the entrance fee to the Demon Garden."
“…
"What? You need tickets?"
"A thousand spirit crystals? I'll collect them. That's too dark!"
“…”
Li Changan waved his hand, ignoring Zhou Yuan who was pulling at him. "Everyone, the Monster Garden is a sacred place within our Taixuan Sect. It's cost a lot of money to repair and maintain it over the years. Millions of spirit crystals are invested every year, not to mention the maintenance of the great monsters..."
Zhou Yuan looked puzzled. Repair and maintenance of the Demon Garden? Was that even happening?
"So, one thousand spirit crystals is a fair price. Come on, come on, those who want to pay can come this way. Those who don't have money can write an IOU. If you don't want to write an IOU, goodbye..."
Li Jing of Beitianmen narrowed his eyes and sneered. With a wave of his hand, a Qiankun bag flew out and landed in Li Changan's hand. "There are a total of sixty people from Beitianmen participating in the trial this time. This is sixty thousand spirit crystals!"
Li Changan nodded and bowed, gave Li Jing a thumbs up, and stuffed the Qiankun bag into his arms.
"Li Tianwang is generous, what about the others?"
With Beitianmen leading the way, Sifang Pavilion and Baiyang Academy in Chaoyang Ancient City handed in their spirit crystals one after another. Led by Chi Ning Zong Ting and Zhuang Zizhen, they led their sect's disciples into the phantom of the light gate and entered the Demon Garden.
Seeing the inevitable trend, the remaining people could only hurriedly scrape together money. One thousand spirit crystals was not a small number for ordinary cultivators, and it suddenly disrupted the rhythm of many people. They could only take out pens and start writing IOUs.
Li Changan estimated the people present. Not counting the four holy places, there were several thousand people from the various sects and independent cultivators from Northern Continent. One thousand spirit crystals per person, that's... several million. I can gather them!
Li Changan pinched his fingers and scared himself. He didn't expect that his impulsive action would bring such great benefits.
When I bring the spiritual crystal back to Xiaoqiong Peak, Nezha will be so happy.
"Junior Brother Chang'an, the Master has ordered us to return the Spirit Crystal to Taixuan Peak without any mistakes."
The voice of Danyun Zhenren came slowly, and Li Changan's mouth twitched suddenly.
This old thing!
Time passed quickly. Many sects with profound backgrounds paid their entrance fees, ranging from a few to dozens of people, and stepped into the Demon Garden. Many independent cultivators also wrote IOUs, forming a thick stack.
The rest are probably poor people who have no money and don’t want to write IOUs.
Li Changan looked at the remaining hundred or so people and rolled his eyes.
"Everyone, since you are not eligible for this trial, please go back." Li Changan waved his hand.
At this moment, an old monk in a tattered cassock approached, clasping his hands in greeting. "Amitabha, the Holy Land Trial is a blessing for the practitioners of Northern Continent. It aims to select those who can tame demons in Canglan. It's not something the Taixuan Sect alone advocates. Why would you, the donor, increase the Taixuan Sect's karma for the sake of spiritual crystals and mundane objects?"
Li Changan narrowed his eyes and stared at the bald monk who came from nowhere, feeling a little amused.
"Donor, greed, anger, and ignorance are the original sins. Seeing that your mind is clear and your luck is extraordinary, you must be a person protected by Taixuan great luck. Why would you be contaminated by karma and sin for something as yellow and white as the spirit crystal? I hope you can open the door of convenience for countless sentient beings. Good, good!"
Li Changan's face was kind and gentle, "Master, do you also want to enter my Taixuan Demon Garden?"
The old monk bowed his head and wrote, "Buddha has mercy on me."
"No spirit crystal?"
"……Um."
"You don't want to write an IOU?"
“…”
Li Changan laughed and said, "Get lost!"
