Chapter 29 Elite Preparatory Competition
The group entered the main hall. Ming Cang looked at Yu Qianling expectantly, but then she chuckled awkwardly, "Master, don't look at me. I was too busy fighting to get anything..."
"You wild girl!" Ming Cang's beard bristled with anger, and he stepped forward, ready to smash her head in.
"Master, don't be angry!" Cen Feng placed Ye Luo on the chair, picked up the storage bag, and said excitedly, "I got so many things!"
After saying that, he shook the storage bag, and poured out all the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, some glowing jade materials, and so on, onto the ground.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, that's more like it!" Ming Cang glared at Yu Qianling, stroking his beard and laughing from ear to ear.
"Cold tobacco, jade marrow fungus, purple monkey flower, heavenly spirit fruit, red essence fungus, and heavenly cold crystal, fire glass..." Ming Cang held them in his hands with satisfaction, praising them repeatedly.
Cen Feng said with a smug look, "Wherever I go, not a blade of grass grows! Anything that can glow, I stuff into my storage bag."
Yu Xian'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Why do you talk like a bandit?"
"Xiao Luo, what about yours?" Ming Cang asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo grinned and with a wave of his hand, a pile of things fell down, more than twice as much as Cen Feng's, almost making everyone's jaws drop.
"Hehe, Fifth Senior Brother, Junior Brother is slightly better."
"Hmph, you win!"
Mingcang's old face was beaming with joy, and he kept saying "not bad, not bad," as if no words could express his excitement.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Ye Luo patted another storage bag, and a huge six-eyed demon spider appeared in the hall, surprising everyone.
"You killed them?" the elder asked in astonishment.
Ye Luo: "Hehe, we got it with a little trick."
The elder tapped the sturdy spider leg and exclaimed excitedly, "This is a level three demonic beast that's about to advance! Its essence can be used to make puppets, and its body is a top-grade material for refining weapons!"
Cen Feng's eyes gleamed. He patted his storage bag and said, "Hehe, Elder, I've got the essence. All that's missing is the materials you'll provide for the puppet."
The elder roared, "You brat, haven't I given you enough? You've squandered all of our remaining supplies!"
"Alright, I'll try to get you some."
"Hehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"
Ming Cang took a few items from the two piles of supplies, coughed lightly, and said, "I need these. You can handle the rest yourselves!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that all these materials would be confiscated, since all the major sects had to hand them over. He didn't expect it to be so humane.
However, this put his mind at ease, allowing him to focus on refining the necessary elixirs.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo recalled the inheritance awakening within his body. He had been studying it for the past three days on the road, but had only just begun to grasp its secrets.
"Master, I want to go back to my cave to rest."
Ming Cang nodded, "Alright, alright, you should all go back and rest."
"Your disciples will also take their leave!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Mingcang watched them leave, then sat back down in his chair and leisurely began to sip his tea.
A moment later, the Second Elder, looking displeased, walked in with a jade slip in his hand and said, "Sect Leader, the Immortal Alliance is going to hold a grand competition for sect elites in three months, and this time they have specifically requested that we participate!"
Ming Cang frowned: "Is participation mandatory?"
Second Elder: "Yes. Their attitude is very firm, leaving us no room to refuse."
The Grand Elder slammed his fist on the table in anger, saying, "Hmph! They've simply suffered a loss in the forbidden area this time and are trying to find another way to save face. I know them all too well!"
Second Elder: "Then... how do we reply to them now?"
"Perfect, we couldn't be happier." Ming Cang's eyes gleamed, and he said in a deep voice, "Go! Are we afraid of them?"

After several days of arduous travel in the forbidden area, Ye Luo was overcome with fatigue as soon as she returned to her cave. She collapsed onto a rock in the spring pool for a short rest.
"Ah, home is so comfortable!"
At this moment, Yinbao peeked out from under his clothes and jumped into the spring with a "plop," swimming happily around in the water.
"Hey, you've been sleeping for a few days, but you seem much more energetic."
After resting for a while, Ye Luo used his spiritual sense to examine the ten-prism within his body. He thought that since it was a inherited magic weapon, it must have extraordinary functions.
But what exactly is it?
After pondering for a moment, he took out the talisman paper and the golden bamboo brush, held his breath, and tentatively asked, "Ten-prism, fire element, open!"
After he finished speaking, the ten-prism floating in his sea of consciousness rotated and emitted a red spiritual light.
Feeling the rich fire elemental power, Ye Luo wrote with a single, fluid stroke, channeling spiritual energy into the bright yellow talisman paper to create shimmering runes.
He held the Firebird Talisman in his hand, sensing the fire attribute it contained, which was several times stronger than the previous ones. "So that's how it is!"
He took out a new talisman and said, "Earth element, open!" Then, with swift strokes, he drew an Earth Escape Talisman, which indeed contained a strong earth element.
"Metal element, activate!"
"Water system, activate!"
"Wind element, activate!"
...
Next, he drew the Vajra Talisman, the Water Prison Talisman, and the Flying Talisman in one go...
After some attempts, he finally figured out the properties of the decaprism, which are roughly divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, thunder, darkness, and light.
As for its function, it is likely a magical artifact with auxiliary functions, and it should be paired with the treasure strategy in the inheritance.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo became full of energy. This magic weapon seemed to be closely related to his own cultivation level. He had to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible in order to bring out its true power.
Ye Luo recalled the plot points of the original work, and it seemed that he didn't have much time left. "Sigh, if I want to win over the female lead, I still have to work hard."
The next day, early morning.
Ye Luo was half asleep when he was woken up by his third senior sister outside the cave, "Junior brother, get up!"
"Hmm... what's wrong?" Ye Luo squinted and mumbled a reply.
"Master wants us all to go to the council hall, saying there is something important to discuss."
"Okay, you go first."
"good!"
Ye Luo sat up from the rock and found that her neck was being strangled uncomfortably. She pulled it off and saw that it was Yin Bao causing trouble again. She said angrily, "You're not allowed to wrap your arms around my neck anymore, or someone will die, you hear me?!"
Yinbao lowered his head, looking as if he had admitted his mistake, and the dragon's tail wrapped around his wrist and rubbed against it.
Seeing his coquettish manner, Ye Luo softened and stopped scolding him. "You stay home obediently, I have to go out for a while."
After finishing his business, he quickly tidied up and flew towards the main hall's council chamber.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Cen Feng's wailing, "What! We're going to have to go back to morning and evening classes, and monthly assessments?! No way!!"
"You brat, stop howling! It's all for your own good!"
Xiao Huan chuckled awkwardly, "Sect Leader, there are only a few of us. There's no need for that..."
After he finished speaking, the other disciples began to whisper among themselves.
Ye Luo looked at the disciples in the hall. Apart from the senior brother who was out, all the other disciples in the sect had come.
At this moment, Yu Qianling also looked unwilling, "That's right! I just formed my core, and I still want to go out and take on some challenges!"
"You guys talk too much!" At this moment, Ming Cang saw Ye Luo and waved to him, saying, "Little Luo, what are you standing there for? Come in and sit down."
"oh……"
Ye Luo's face turned bitter. He hated morning and evening classes the most in his past life, but he never thought that even after cultivating immortality in this life, he still couldn't escape this torment...
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy." Ming Cang took out an invitation and said seriously, "The sect competition is about to begin. This time, the Immortal Alliance has ordered our Peach Blossom Valley to participate. We have to start preparing no matter what."
Cen Feng: "We have to participate? Why? In previous years, when we didn't go, the alliance didn't say anything."
