From time to time, there was a hissing sound of gasps, expressing surprise at the achievements and progress of a certain genius.

"The Thunder Blade Mad Monk has already reached the third place on the Martial Ranking. In the last Tiger Ranking, he was only the nineteenth. His progress is too fast!"

"Mang Jin Gang is making even faster progress. He was ranked 25th on the last martial arts ranking, but now he is ranked 4th, only slightly weaker than the Thunder Blade Mad Monk!"

"Ziwei is too strong. Unless he breaks through to the Yin God Realm and automatically leaves the list, no one will be able to shake his position as the number one on the Dragon Ranking."

“Great, no need to say more.”

"What a pity, we in Taihe County don't have any geniuses who can make it onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. People from other counties don't know how to laugh at us!"

"Humph, the previous number one on the Dragon Ranking was from our Taihe County!"

“…”

People kept leaving the place where the results were announced, but some people immediately squeezed in, and the cycle continued, and the place was always crowded with people.

Zhou Qing and Qin Ming had been watching from a distance. Zhou Qing discovered that those who came to look at the list included not only practitioners, but also mortals.

Even these ordinary people discussed more intensely than the practitioners. They all supported someone on the list and were fans of a certain genius. They were very fanatical.

In Zhou Qing's opinion, this was simply a large-scale star-chasing scene.

As powerful and talented geniuses on the list, they are indeed worthy of being sought after by everyone.

Even if they left, they were discussing the Dragon and Tiger List before leaving.

It can be predicted that as these people who have seen the Dragon and Tiger List leave, all the information on the Dragon and Tiger List will spread and become widely known.

This is just a phenomenon in Taibao County.

The Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List is released simultaneously in every county town and every prefecture town. The one hundred names on the list will spread to all counties and prefectures in Qingzhou within today.

Then in the future, it will radiate to wider areas, and even people in villages and towns will hear about it.

Compared with other ways of becoming famous, such as the Dragon and Tiger List, Zhou Qing's fame spread through the Tianzhou Martial Arts School Rating seems insignificant.

After all, the martial arts school rating is only for the Tianzhou martial arts school community. Zhou Qing's performance will be spread after those martial arts schools return to their respective bases, but it cannot escape the martial arts school community.

Even most of the martial arts schools in Tianzhou martial arts world don't know his name.

Because in Tianzhou, there are more small martial arts schools that are not qualified to participate in the martial arts school rating. How can they know about the martial arts school rating? As for those levels outside the martial arts school, such as independent cultivators, which martial arts school disciple would specifically brag to independent cultivators about his or her knowledge of martial arts school ratings?

But the Dragon and Tiger List can make a person instantly famous in an entire state.

Be it a family, a sect, a martial arts school or an individual cultivator, they are all included in the scope of the Dragon and Tiger List.

Looking at the huge crowd in front of him, Zhou Qing said softly:

"I'm afraid there are very few young people who can refuse the Dragon and Tiger List. The temptation of fame and fortune contained in it is too great."

Throughout history, few people have been able to understand the words fame and fortune, not even saints.

If a saint really understands fame and fortune, then his name should not be circulated in this era! "You are right." Qin Ming nodded.

"Self-cultivators are eager to become famous in this way so that they can have access to more resources. Young people with good backgrounds also need the Dragon and Tiger Ranking to make themselves more valued by the forces behind them. This is just the most superficial and basic benefit."

"Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame brings fortune, who can ignore it?"

Zhou Qing nodded slightly. He understood this core and had seen too many examples in his previous life.

Black and red are also red, and being famous means money rolling in.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing asked, "Is there a Dragon and Tiger List in Hanzhou?"

"Yes." Qin Ming replied: "And the Hanzhou Dragon and Tiger Ranking can be said to be the most valuable among the many Dragon and Tiger Rankings in Da Qi."

Zhou Qing was a little confused, "Huh? There is such a saying?"

"Because of Xuandu Temple, the states neighboring Hanzhou have not established the Dragon and Tiger List, so the geniuses of those states either choose to go to other states or come to Hanzhou. The latter has the largest number of people."

Qin Ming explained: "In addition, the Snow Tribe of the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains and the Barbarian Tribe of the Grassland will also enter Hanzhou and directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally participate in the competition for the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "If that's the case, then the competition is indeed very fierce, and the gold content is very high."

Several states of Da Qi, the grassland barbarians, and the snow tribe of the snow mountains are all competing on a Dragon and Tiger List. It is a true fight between dragons and tigers.

The Snow Clan is the name given by outsiders to the creatures living in the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains.

But this does not mean that the creatures in the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains are of one race. The situation is very complicated.

There are humanoid creatures, beasts, monsters, snow dragons, snow phoenixes, and so on.

The meaning of the Snow Clan is similar to that of the Demon Clan, it is just a general term.

Finally, the two left the place where the results were announced and found a place to rest.

"The world outside is really wonderful. Just by leaving Tianzhou, I saw something different."

Zhou Qing sighed softly. Each name and title on the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List also stirred some ripples in his heart.

Being the center of attention and becoming famous all over the world, which young person can resist?

The path of spiritual practice should be one of courageous and diligent progress, shining like the sun.

People have power.

If a person is invincible and unstoppable, sweeping away all opponents he encounters, he will naturally create an invincible trend.

This is also the easiest way to accumulate momentum.

Two people with the same talents and the same circumstances, if one is always victorious while the other is always undefeated, then there is no doubt that the former's upper limit will be far greater than the latter's.

The speed of cultivation, the probability of breaking through bottlenecks, and the performance when facing certain obstacles will all be completely different.

That invincible force can help people break through all obstacles.

Of course, it cannot be denied that there are a very small number of people who have been defeated in every battle, but after sinking into hell and struggling in the mud, they can still get up, be reborn from the ashes, and shine even brighter.

But there have not been many such people throughout history; they are just exceptions.

It is a common and normal situation that the upper limit of a person who never wins a battle is higher than that of a person who never loses a battle.

It doesn't make sense to use an example to deny a general idea.

"Tianzhou has not established a Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and news spreads too slowly, so you rarely hear about a certain genius, and you rarely see geniuses fighting each other."

"When you get more exposure, you'll get used to it."

"With your current strength, it will be no problem for you to be on the Qingzhou Tiger List." Qin Ming said with a smile:

"Even if you go to Hanzhou, as long as your soul is on the same level, you may still be on the list."

As for the martial arts ranking, Qin Ming didn't say anything, but Zhou Qing understood it.

After all, he has only just started to refine bones. It is obviously difficult for him to compete with a group of geniuses who have achieved small, great or ultimate success in bone refining for the Tiger List and the Martial List.

The states that were able to establish the Dragon and Tiger List had outstanding overall strength. The top Taoist sects were there, so how bad could they be?

The most crucial thing is that Zhou Qing does not have Tianwuxue, which is a shortcoming that he can only make up for when he arrives at Xuandu Temple.

If you want to compete with those geniuses who all have outstanding talents and powerful combat capabilities, realm cultivation is the foundation, and it can also be said to be the most important point.

For the Dragon and Tiger lists, the realm of cultivation is the threshold.

If you don’t have the Bone Refining Day Tour Realm, then no matter how well you perform, you will not be able to make it onto the Tiger Ranking. The same goes for the Dragon Ranking.

What if you are allowed to be on the list, but you cannot break through the realm later? Although such a scenario is funny and unlikely, it is not completely impossible.

"If you want, we can go find the prodigies on the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger Rankings when we are on the road and let you try your hand."

"Let it be."

Although Zhou Qing felt moved, he did not force it.

There is a big enough stage waiting for him in Hanzhou.

After completing today's training lessons, the two set off again.

But Zhou Qing did not expect that Qin Ming's words would come true.

In the capital of Qingzhou, they met a peerless genius who was ranked third on the Qingzhou Dragon and Tiger List and was from the Canglan Sect, a first-rate force in Qingzhou.

Canglan Qianren, Ji Xingqiu, and Riyou are in the late stage of cultivation.

The first and second on the Qingzhou Tiger List and the Dao List had both completed their day trips and had long since disappeared as they had gone into seclusion to break through to the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood.

With the talents of the top two on the Dao List, unless they encounter a one-in-a-million special situation, when they appear again, they will definitely be saints and will automatically leave the Tiger List.

Therefore, this Canglan Qianren can almost be regarded as the current number one on the Qingzhou Dao Ranking.

Once the current top two break through, his position will naturally move to the top of the list.

The reason why Canglan Qianren appeared in Qingzhou City and was discovered by Zhou Qing and others was because he was very high-profile and took the initiative to challenge masters.

"I will be promoted to the Perfect Day Tour, and then I will go into seclusion to strive for the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood. I will not fall behind those two!"

Ji Xingqiu's voice was loud and clear, and could be heard from far away, so the onlookers could hear it clearly.

As soon as Ji Xingqiu finished speaking, the people watching started talking about it.

"I didn't expect that Canglan Qianren would also be promoted to the late stage of Sun Tour. His cultivation speed is really fast."

"For geniuses like them, practicing is not difficult at all."

"But Ji Xingqiu did this to prove his own strength. He can do what Cui Dong can do. He is not inferior to Cui Dong."

"I'm afraid that's what Ji Xingqiu meant. In this way, when Cui Dong and Li Yuanjie are promoted to the Manifested Saint, no one will say that Ji Xingqiu got the first place on the Dao Ranking by chance."

“…”

Cui Dong, currently ranked first on the Qingzhou Tiger List and Taoist List, you can tell from his name that he is from the Cui family.

If none of the three top positions on a state's Dragon and Tiger List is occupied by a top local Taoist disciple, it would be a shame and extremely embarrassing.

The top sect is not only the overlord of a state, but also the overlord of the world. As a result, in the list of the state, none of the three places can be ranked first...

Needless to say, this is such a shame.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Especially the Dragon Ranking, which is the most important.

Because the people at the front of the list make breakthroughs, the rankings of those behind them automatically rise. This is very common, especially on the Tiger List, which changes very quickly.

It is understood that the difficulty of advancing from Daytime Bone Refining to Sage Cleansing Marrow is much lower than that of advancing to Yin God True Blood.

If the ranking rises automatically, it is actually nothing if the ranking is low and the change is not big. Being on the list is a symbol of strength.

But the first three are too eye-catching, especially the first one, which can be said to have the largest traffic.

Ji Xingqiu, the third brother, has done nothing, but will become the eldest brother in the future. It is foreseeable that this will cause some criticism, with people thinking that he is lucky and just picked up the first place on the Dao List.

There are a lot of sour chickens. I don’t know how many people are hard-hearted, but there are definitely people who are hard-mouthed everywhere.

Cui Dong’s supporters in particular will definitely bring this up.

Zhou Qing could already imagine what Cui Dong's fans would say. If he translated it using his past life's rhetoric, it would probably be: If it weren't for my Gege's breakthrough, how could Ji Xingqiu be number one.

Number one on the Dao Ranking? It’s just something my pigeons don’t want.

In fact, these were just a few words, which would not cost anything, and no one would dare to say it in front of Ji Xingqiu.

He has a first-rate background, and his talent and strength are there. It's fine if you mutter a few words behind his back, but you dare to make up stories in front of him...

Don’t want it to be spicy?

Even if I chop you down at the gate of the provincial government, Ji Xingqiu will not be punished.

Just ignore the discussions behind people's back.

However, Ji Xingqiu is obviously a proud and hot-tempered person, so he made the choice he has now.

Use your strength and achievements to make people shut up.

After today's fight, he immediately went for a breakthrough, followed by a retreat to achieve enlightenment, all in one go.

Then no one would say that he just picked up the first place on the Tao list.

"This Canglan Qianren, according to the information recorded on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, has profound attainments in Canglan Sect's Heaven-level Daoist art, Canglan Wanjian. This is a top Heaven-level Daoist art with extremely terrifying power."

Qin Ming said: "Don't underestimate Canglan Wanjian just because it is only a heavenly Taoist technique and cannot compare to the peerless Taoist technique of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal."

"For your realm, the difference between practicing heavenly-level Taoism and practicing peerless Taoism is actually not that big. The latter is too profound and obscure. Even if you can get started, you can't have a high level of attainment. You should be able to understand this."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Aunt Mo told me, I understand."

The peerless Taoist arts are indeed stronger than the heavenly Taoist arts, but how can a day-traveling monk exert the true power of the peerless Taoist arts? It is no exaggeration to say that what he comprehended and demonstrated is just the tip of the iceberg.

For example, Zhou Qing cannot cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Seal and the Earth Fire Seal now, and he is still very far away from fully mastering this Taoist art.

Earth fire, sky thunder, sky thunder and earth fire, three steps in total, and Zhou Qing was only stuck on the first step.

In terms of grade, the heavenly-level Taoism is not as good as the peerless Taoism, but this also means that it is not as difficult to practice as the peerless Taoism.

After becoming a cultivator, one can go further in heavenly-level Taoist arts and unleash even greater power.

Although for those who have reached the Riyou Xiansheng realm, they can only exert one or two points of the power of heavenly-level Taoist magic at most, it is enough.

That’s why it is said that at a low to middle level, there is not much difference between practicing peerless Taoist arts/magic skills and practicing heavenly Taoist arts/martial arts.

It is normal that one or two points of power of the heavenly-level Taoist magic can be compared with the tiny bit of power of the peerless Taoist magic.

This means that the technique works, but the person doesn’t.

This person is not good, but it doesn’t mean that the cultivator is too stupid. How can a cultivator who can master the peerless Taoist arts be stupid?

It is true that human power is limited and has its limits.

At a low to middle level, using both heavenly-level and peerless Taoist magic can reach this limit, and there is not much difference.

But why do people still pursue peerless Taoist magic? At that time, even a master from Xuandu Temple wanted to obtain the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal from Lu Qingmo?

Just because a peerless Taoist skill may not be revealed for a while, it does not mean it will never be revealed in your life.

When one really reaches the level of Huangquan Biluo, the power of peerless Taoist magic will truly bloom, and at that time it will be incomparable to heavenly Taoist magic.

After Ji Xingqiu invited him to fight, although there was constant discussion, no one really showed up to fight him.

Ji Xingqiu was not surprised. He knew that it would take time for news to spread. Once the news here spread, the people behind him on the Dao Ranking would naturally come.

After all, he acted suddenly and did not inform those people in advance.

Qin Ming asked Zhou Qing with a smile, "How about it, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhou Qing looked at Ji Xingqiu with an inexplicable expression, thoughts turning in his mind.

"I really want to give it a try..."

Ranked third on the Dao Ranking, this is the most outstanding person he has ever met. The true disciples of the cultivators who have fought with him in Suzhen Palace are probably not as good as this one.

So he felt a little itchy.

Zhou Qing has shown excellent talent since he embarked on the path of cultivation, but at the same time Lu Qingmo has repeatedly reminded him not to be complacent.

The world outside is huge, with countless peerless geniuses and extraordinary talents. Zhou Qing still has many rivals.

Zhou Qing believed this. He had always respected the outside world and no longer thought that he was invincible.

After all, I'm just a person from a small place. Even if I have great talent, if I have never seen any powerful people and I just surpassed ordinary characters in a town, but I claim to be the best in the world, it would be laughable.

It is truly amazing that one has reached this level of cultivation in less than a year.

But this doesn't mean that no one can compare.

Judging from the ideas that Lu Qingmo and the others had imagined, it was indeed possible that there were reincarnations of powerful people in this world.

In such a situation, it is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

Therefore, Zhou Qing is never complacent and always respects the world.

But now, it seems like an opportunity for him to see those top geniuses mentioned by Lu Qingmo.

At this moment, someone suddenly came running from a distance, shouting loudly.

"Cui Dong and Li Yuanjie have shown up. They have already broken through to the Manifestation Realm!"

This statement was shocking. So sudden? But doesn't this mean that Ji Xingqiu is already number one on the Dao Ranking? Ji Xingqiu also heard the news, but his expression remained normal and he was not panicked.

Those two people can break through, anyway, after he fights today, he will also prepare to break through.

As long as his goal was achieved, it was fine. Although the order of things was somewhat reversed, it was not a big problem.

Ji Xingqiu was still waiting quietly for his opponent to appear.

"I'll fight you."

A clear voice sounded, and a young man whose appearance and demeanor overshadowed everyone present came in front of him.

Ji Xingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Everyone else fell silent, staring at the person who had just appeared. The atmosphere seemed a little solemn until someone said:

"Who is this?"

"I don't know. I've never seen him. I don't know him."

Ji Xingqiu asked, "Who is Daoist Fellow?"

He didn't recognize him either, and only heard the person who appeared answer:

"Before today, Qingzhou was nameless."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and continued:

"I just happened to be passing by Qingzhou, so I wanted to take the first place on the Dao Ranking."
