A group of bamboo or wooden houses rose from the ground, with flat vegetable fields in front and behind the houses. There was a natural mountain spring not far away, which met the water needs.
Xue Huan erected a huge stone tablet outside the sect, engraved the three big characters "Three Troubles Sect" on it, and laid down layers of formations around it, including spirit gathering formations, mountain protection formations, etc.
She used jade soaked in spiritual energy to refine a sect jade talisman for each person and distributed the talismans.
"Drop a drop of blood on it, and the jade talisman will recognize its master. The jade talisman is your symbol of identity, and it is also your ticket to enter and exit the mountain protection formation. Without the jade talisman, outsiders cannot enter the Three Suffering Sect. So you must keep the jade talisman safe. Of course, even if you accidentally lose it, you can find it back through the connection between you and the jade talisman."
Everyone followed her instructions and dripped blood on the jade talisman to recognize its owner. After that, they indeed felt an inexplicable connection with the jade talisman.
They held the jade talismans in their hands and looked at them over and over again, feeling a strong sense of belonging in their hearts.
From then on, they had families.
Afterwards, thirteen people, including the sect leader Xue Huan, had an open-air hotpot meal together to celebrate the official establishment of the sect.
After the meal, Xue Huan announced the appointment of Feng Ying as the deputy sect leader. "From now on, you will have to worry about all matters big and small in the sect. I may not be able to stay in the sect all the time.
"From now on, just practice diligently. I'll come over every ten days to answer your questions about cultivation. If I can't come due to something, I'll let you know in advance."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Before leaving, Xue Huan handed a batch of supplies to Feng Ying and asked her to oversee their distribution. She also left two puppets behind to assist her in handling sect affairs.
The sect has just been established, and many rules and regulations must be established from the beginning so that things can be done according to the rules in the future. Otherwise, without a set of rules, the personnel within the sect will easily become chaotic and difficult to manage.
Xue Huan handed all these over to Feng Ying, and would give her some opinions or suggestions when she came up with her ideas.
When the Sanhuan Sect was first established, the Mohist School on the other side was preparing for the Qiutan Conference that would be held soon.
In the early morning, Xue Huan opened the window and smelled the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus wrapped in the cold air.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the osmanthus flowers in Mojia Guiyuan are in full bloom.
After breakfast, Xue Huan went to the square.
In the square, three high platforms arranged in a triangular shape were built. These three platforms were the competition platforms. The competition would last for three days. Three days later, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mo family would then hold a family banquet to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and to practice for the children who won the competition, wishing them good results in the Qiu Tan Conference.
Xue Huan also signed up for the competition.
There are conditions for registration. Those who have been to the Qiu Tan Conference before cannot participate again, and those with cultivation below the third level of Qi Refining cannot participate. After eliminating these people who do not meet the conditions, there are still 58 people left who have registered.
Fifty-eight people compete for the top twenty spots.
This competition does not consider anything else but strength, so there are no restrictions on the means of fighting. Spells, puppets, talismans and even hidden weapons can be used as long as you can win.
After all, the secret realm is full of dangers. Those monsters and enemies don’t care whether the means you use are fair and upright. Everything is based on the premise of saving your life.
But this is a family competition after all, so killing is not allowed. Once casualties occur, regardless of whether it is intentional or not, the killer will be disqualified from the competition.
The first competition will be conducted by drawing lots.
It is worth mentioning that even if you are defeated in this round, you will not lose your qualifications, because the Mohist school adopts a points system.
The winner will get one point, and the loser will not lose any points. Finally, the overall ranking will be determined based on the number of points. The top 20 from the beginning to the end will qualify to attend the Qiutan Conference.
In other words, if you want to get more points, you have to participate in more competitions.
In this way, in order to qualify, one can only rely on strength to win, and the proportion of luck will be reduced to the minimum.
No wonder the competition lasts for three days.
On the steps in front of the three competition platforms, the clan leader and three elders who were not participating in the competition sat on chairs and presided over the competition.
There were bamboo sticks in the mechanism box in front of the clan leader, and many people were already queuing there. Because the time was not up yet, the mechanism box had not been opened yet.
When the Si hour arrived, three long and deep bell sounds were heard from not far away, and the competition began!
Everyone in the Mohist School was already familiar with the competition, but the patriarch still took the trouble to announce the rules of the competition.
Then comes the drawing of lots.
Xue Huan drew the number seven, and the person with the same number as her would be her opponent in this round.
Coincidentally, her opponent was Mo Zhenzhen, with whom she had had friction before.
Mo Zhenzhen jumped directly onto the competition platform that was as high as a person. Her weapon was a female long sword. She looked down at Xue Huan with malicious eyes.
He probably wanted to use this competition to do something to her.
Although the competition rules prohibit killing, there are many ways to torture people besides killing, such as cutting the tendons of a person's hands and feet, or destroying her dantian so that she can no longer practice.
Xue Huan did not underestimate the enemy. She secretly raised her vigilance and used the light body technique to jump onto the competition stage.
The two men greeted each other, and as soon as the referee blew the whistle, they started fighting.
Each competition stage has a referee and a chief referee, who will record the situation on each competition stage.
The chief referee is responsible for coordinating the overall situation.
Mo Zhenzhen's sword was like a spirit snake, stabbing towards Xue Huan, focusing on her fatal weaknesses, such as her eyes, neck, and heart.
Xue Huan would enter the Soul Realm every night and fight with Boss Tianshi. Her combat awareness had improved a lot. Later, he took her out of the Salted Fish Village to fight with the ferocious soul beasts outside. Although her cultivation level was still the seventh level of Qi Refining, her combat ability was incomparable to before.
Strictly speaking, the current her can beat three of her previous selves.
Mo Zhenzhen, who is at the same level, is naturally no match for her.
Xue Huan saw at a glance that her swordsmanship seemed fierce and cold, but it was actually just a show. She didn't even use her snowflake knife. She appeared in front of her like a phantom, took her sword with her bare hands, and put it on her neck.
Mo Zhenzhen was shocked, "I admit——"
Before she uttered the word "lose", she secretly and quickly pressed the ring on the middle finger of her left hand. A fine cow-hair needle shot out silently, and the tip of the needle was slightly black, which showed that it was poisoned.
It is estimated to be very toxic.
The two were very close to each other, so the poison needle penetrated into Xue Huan's body in an instant.
Mo Zhenzhen showed a happy smile on her face, but unfortunately the smile froze the next second.
