And the ranking situation has changed significantly.
Before, the Jindan cultivators directly occupied the first half of the list, but now the cultivators are mixed together, and the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, and Jindan Stage are in chaos.
Of course, Jindan cultivators still have the largest number of people, accounting for more than half of the entire list.
It seems that the Jindan cultivators are the protagonists of the palace examination, while the other cultivators in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages are just running alongside.
There was a gleam of light in Ning Zhuo's eyes, and he saw hope of removing the surveillance measures.
At this time, another new information was conveyed.
This is an introduction to the second round of palace examinations.
Simply put, the second round of palace examinations will take the form of a qualifying round, allowing every monk to have a relatively fair competition with each other.
After this message was conveyed, the ground in the square in front of the palace began to shake.
Then, the floor tiles were classified, swallowing up all the tables, and then spitting out ten circular arenas.
Once the arenas are fully revealed, the floor tiles will be put back together to form a tight and clean surface.
The teleportation aperture appeared again around everyone.
Many monks took steps and quickly entered the light circle. They raced against time to prepare for the second round of palace examinations.
There were also monks who failed the exam and were reluctant to leave. Suddenly, they were unable to move. Then the teleportation aperture around them expanded automatically, swallowed them up, and teleported them out forcibly.
After Ning Zhuo stepped out of the teleportation aperture, he returned to his temporary residence.
He hurried out of the house, went into the next room, and met Ning Shushan.
"Grandfather." Ning Zhuo said, "Next is the second round of palace examinations, and the competition will be even more intense. But I have hidden dangers, and I am afraid I will be assassinated."
Ning Fan stroked his beard, understanding what Ning Zhuo meant.
What Ning Zhuo was referring to were the various surveillance methods planted on him by a group of Jindan cultivators.
Ning Zhuo told Ning Juefan that he used to think that these monitoring methods were his amulets. Now that the situation has changed to this point, do these monitoring methods have a back-up to control? If there is a back-up to control and influence, it will be extremely disadvantageous for Ning Zhuo who is about to enter the ring to fight.
Ning surrendered: "I will try to remove these methods for you."
Ning Zhuo said, "Don't bother your help, Old Ancestor. The second round of the palace examination is coming soon, and you are the greatest hope of our Ning family!"
"I think it is reasonable for our Ning family to obtain the Lava Fairy Palace!"
"My idea is to ask for help from Lord Zhu Xuanji and ask him to come forward and put pressure on me to remove all the surveillance methods on me."
Ning Jiufan nodded slightly: "This is indeed a good idea. I will write a letter to ask Mr. Zhu about his intentions."
When Ning Jufan was writing the letter, Zhu Xuanji was also writing a letter.
He wants to send it to Mengqiu!
In the letter, Zhu Xuanji wrote down all the fragments of the three skills in the test questions, namely, the Mirror Table Spiritual Communication Skill, the Demonic Blood Tendon Skill, and the Five Elements Qi Law Skill.
He wanted to ask Meng Kui to help him figure out the relationship between these three techniques and whether they were the best of the three sects.
"I hope to get a reply soon."
Zhu Xuanji looked at the loopholes in the light shield and the red-flame monsters that kept rushing in, and sighed deeply.
With the withdrawal of the Nascent Soul-level Fire Snakes, the Red Flame Beast Tide became larger and more threatening than before.
Especially recently, because the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit secretly exerted its strength, a crack appeared in the light shield, and red flame monsters kept breaking in.
The difficulty of breaking into the palace this time is much reduced than before.
Such changes greatly stimulated the red flame monsters. Their offensive became more violent and more arrogant.
As a result, it became more inconvenient for monks to enter and exit the Lava Fairy Palace.
In the past, Zhu Xuanji might have gone there personally. After all, the distance was not far, so he could have gone directly to meet Meng Kui and urged the latter to make the calculations in front of him.
Now, Zhu Xuanji prefers to just send Feixun.
After all, he needs a lot of time to prepare for the second round of the palace examination! "According to the information given before, the second round of the palace examination is a personal battle."
"By relatively fair, does it mean that those with higher cultivation levels will be suppressed by the Immortal Palace until their actual performance is the same as that of those with lower cultivation levels?"
"After all, there are Jindan cultivators, foundation-building cultivators, and Qi-refining cultivators on the ranking list."
"The palace examination stipulates that only means related to mechanical arts are allowed. This scope description is actually quite vague."
"If I have a large number of mechanical puppets, can I use them directly in the arena?"
"What if there are Jindan-level combat capabilities among my mechanical puppets?"
While Zhu Xuanji was thinking and pondering, Ning Jufan's letter flew in front of him.
He opened the letter and saw that it was about Ning Zhuo.
The detective thought about it and felt that Ning Zhuo's matter was small, but it highlighted the huge internal troubles of the three alliances - as the subsequent competition became more and more fierce, the three great cultivation clans that were once united would also fall apart and consider and act for their own interests.
This was obviously not what Zhu Xuanji wanted to see.
He immediately decided to use Ning Zhuo's request to invite the three Jindan monks to the scene to discuss important matters and consolidate the alliance! After a moment.
The three Jindan cultivators surrounded Ning Zhuo and successively removed their monitoring measures on Ning Zhuo.
During the whole process, Zhu Xuanji activated his golden eyes and watched.
Ning Jiufan breathed a sigh of relief.
If he were to rely on himself to solve these monitoring methods, he might not be successful, and it would be time-consuming and laborious. Now it would be best to let these Jindan cultivators remove them themselves.
In the end, at Ning Zhuo's own request, the monitoring methods of Ning Jiufan and Zhu Xuanji were retained on him.
Zheng Shuanggou suddenly proposed a deal to Ning Zhuo.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
He wanted to acquire the mechanical monkey in Ning Zhuo's hands.
It’s not the Infernape, but the Jindan-level mountain. Ning Zhuo has coordinated many aspects and prepared for it for a long time.
Ning Zhuo was naturally unwilling to do so, and refused to accept the fact that the role had not yet been successfully created.
Zhu Xuanji, who was standing by, immediately saw through his lie.
Zheng Shuanggou didn't care: "It doesn't matter if it's not completed. My Zheng family is willing to buy a half-finished mechanism at a high price."
Ning Zhuo refused bluntly this time, which made Zheng Danjian so angry that he snorted coldly.
During this period, Meng Kui's reply letter flew to Zhu Xuanji.
The letter recorded that Meng Kui personally calculated and confirmed that Zhu Xuanji's guess was correct. The three techniques were a set, the three sects' supreme techniques.
Meng Kui also calculated the approximate power of the Demonic Blood-stained Muscle Technique. The Mirror Platform Spiritual Communication Technique is to create mirrors in the Sea of God Dantian to directly communicate with spiritual things. At first, these mirrors were few in number, and as the cultivation progressed, the number of mirrors would increase, and the quality would be higher! In order to win over others, Zhu Xuanji took the initiative to share the contents of the letter.
Ning Zhuo was amazed as he watched from the side, fully appreciating the profound understanding of cultivation by the Jindan and Yuanying levels. Even with just a few words, he was able to quickly figure out the subtle essence.
As the news of the second round of palace examinations came out, Ning Zhuo began to prepare actively.
His days were not peaceful.
People came to him one after another and offered large sums of money, not only to buy his mechanical monkeys made of Jindan-grade materials, but also to bribe him to have a fake match.
Ning Zhuo rejected them all, and the grace he displayed surprised Ning Jufen.
Be polite before using force.
Many people and forces began to use more drastic measures regarding the second round of palace examinations.
A casual cultivator at the foundation-building level died tragically at night and was not found until noon the next day. The cause of death was that his heart was pierced and his soul completely disappeared.
The various businesses of the Ning family, the Zheng family, and the Zhou family were targeted at the same time.
Even the base of Quanshulou in Huoshixian City was robbed.
According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrator was a dark shadow demon cultivator.
However, it is obvious that if they can target a super sect in this way, it is likely that another super sect is taking advantage of the opportunity!
"The second round of palace examination..."
"Huh, they seem to be having a lot of fun."
"Why don't we give it a try and get involved a little bit, what do you think, Han Ming?"
Luo Shang was living in the Immortal City, looking towards the top of Huoshi Mountain with a sneer.
Han Ming lowered his head and drooped his eyebrows, very obediently: "Lord Luo Shang, what do you want me to do?"
She was filled with helplessness.
After hiding for a long time, she was eventually exposed because of the monster attacking the city. She was discovered by Luo Shang, who forcibly recruited her and brought her to his side.
Luo Shang: "Go contact the City Lord's Mansion."
"They must be interested in your intelligence."
“Although Ning Zhuo is only a junior in the Qi Refining Stage, he has made it to the second round. If something happens to him, Meng Kui’s group will be able to use it as evidence to launch a massive attack on Zhu Xuanji’s group.”
"Two tigers fighting each other is a more interesting scene."
"Hahaha!"
