Hotel riot
"Qianluo, you're amazing! I'm so lucky to have a good teammate like you!"
Tao Yue sat on the Jade Plate flying saucer, recalling Qian Luo's heroic appearance that day, the might of her sword, and her high spirits. She supported her chin with both hands, her lips slightly curved, her eyes shining: "How did you do that sword? I can't learn it no matter how hard I try!"
She stood on the jade flying saucer and swayed from side to side, moving her left and right hands at the same time. Even when she stood on one leg, she couldn't get the graceful posture she remembered. She couldn't balance and was staggering from side to side.
"Alas--"
Chi Zhao covered his eyes, unable to bear watching. To be fair, although the stinky master's attitude towards him was bad, the stinky master's swordsmanship was not to be underestimated. Coming from the lower three districts, he must have some real skills.
"Little fat cat, how dare you laugh at me! I won't give you meat for lunch today!" Tao Yue shook her face and glared at Chi Zhao, who immediately relaxed. He arched his chubby body into the girl's arms, blinking his big watery eyes, trying to conquer the girl's cold heart with his cute face.
"You!" Tao Yue couldn't stand the attack of such a cute creature. Her heart softened and she rubbed Chi Zhao's face fiercely, buried her face in his belly, and sucked the cat madly.
After she felt refreshed, she looked up and found Qianluo looking unhappy. She was puzzled: "What's wrong? The first round of competition is over, and we succeeded. Are you worried about the second round? That's right! We were so nervous during the first round that we were so focused on fighting for the spiritual plants that we forgot to find teammates!"
Only then did she remember the serious business. She had originally planned to see who performed better in the first round of the competition, but at the time, she was so focused on snatching spiritual plants and refining pills. The situation was extremely tense, and they had no time to check on the players' status. After the refining was successful, they were directly teleported away by the teleportation array. They didn't see their teammates, which led to a lot of resentment.
"However, I did see that fellow Daoist Gu, who invited us last time, seems to have found a pair of siblings." Tao Yue glanced at Qian Luo, feeling that something was wrong with what she said, and immediately explained, "I absolutely don't mean to blame you! We still have two days left, and we can go to the Alchemy Conference, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Xiuxian Market to have a look!"
Qianluo smiled slightly and shook her head at her: "Yes, there is no need to force it. Sometimes meeting each other is also a kind of fate. I believe that the two of us can find good teammates."
She just heard the sound of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
[Didi - The system has been upgraded and the system points settings have been updated]
After the upgrade, the calculation method was changed. From now on, 10 medium-grade spirit stones are equal to 1 point. Now she has 3 points. Together with the medium-grade spirit stones she saved last time, she can simulate about 20 times.
She hadn't used the system for a long time. How could she have forgotten that the system could help her find the most suitable teammates for her?
"Don't worry, let's eat first. We can go to a crowded place and have a look. The first game is over, and those participating in the second game should also be looking for their teammates."
Hearing this, Tao Yue hugged Chi Zhao's paw and said, "It's time to eat!" He then piloted the Jade Plate flying saucer and flew away in a short while.
——
Sure enough, during the meal, many monks invited them to form a team. Some of them had witnessed Qianluo's swordsmanship and painting skills, and thought that the secret realm needed a monk with high combat power, and Qianluo was very suitable.
However, some people boasted of their high level of cultivation and spoke very rudely. Among them was a male cultivator in the late foundation building stage. He held a mace like the others and threw it in front of Qian Luo and Tao Yue, causing the food on the table to rattle.
Qianluo and Tao Yue were eating while Chi Zhao was chewing some sea-dwelling spirit fish beside them, smacking their lips and enjoying the meal so sweetly, when they were interrupted by the uninvited guest in front of them.
"Bang——"
"Hey, you!" Tao Yue stood up angrily and argued with him, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see that they are eating? Are you here to pick a fight on purpose?"
"I'm not looking for trouble. I'm here to invite this female cultivator to be my teammate. We are three and short of one." The man was bald, with a beard and half-exposed arms. His face was greasy, and he had a fat head and big ears. He didn't look like an ordinary cultivator, nor did he look like an alchemist. He looked more like a bandit from some mountain, ferocious and evil.
"Sorry, I already have a teammate. We are only looking for two people, not three." Qian Luo smiled lightly, tapped her chopsticks lightly, and with a flash of inspiration, the mace that fell on the ground immediately stood up.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't block the way. My friends and I are having dinner. Please don't disturb our fun."
"Oh, you little bitch! I invited you to be my teammate because I think highly of you. Do you think you, who is in the early stage of foundation building, can survive for a few days in the second game? I am in the late stage of foundation building, two levels higher than you! I invited you to be my teammate to give you enough face! If I didn't see that you have some real skills, do you think we three grown men want to find a woman who is a drag?" The man cursed, put force on his feet, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he swung the mace. The spiritual weapon full of spikes was about to fall on the girl's snow-white and flawless skin!
"Qianluo——"
"Damn master!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. Qian Luo didn't even raise her eyelids. She clapped her hands and the chopsticks flew into the air. With unstoppable force, she rushed straight towards the mace that was hundreds of times larger than herself.
"Ah——" Some people couldn't bear to watch it. After all, it was difficult for someone in the early stage of foundation building to defeat someone in the late stage of foundation building.
The second round of the competition has not yet begun. Qian Luo did not want to reveal her cultivation level in advance, as this would affect her competition and her identity.
In addition to spiritual treasures such as the Dragon Roar Sword, she also has a high-level spiritual weapon, the Flowing Jade Pen. Everyone has seen this in the first round of the competition and recognized her strength, so she decided to use the Flowing Jade Pen to cover up her tracks.
With a "bang", the mace hit the bright blue light. It turned out to be a defensive formation!
The mace bounced back with lightning speed, and the sharp wolf teeth just brushed past half of the face of the cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. His ear was hit so easily, and blood was dripping. Then the mace was hit by the pillar behind, making a deafening sound!
"hiss--"
Everyone gasped, this was a powerful blow from the late stage of foundation building, this defensive formation was of great origin!
Qian Luo looked back with a surprised look on her face, and saw Tao Yue smiling and raising an eyebrow at her: "I'm still here, how could anyone bully you?"
"It's a waste to use the magic circle the old man gave me."
Tao Yue put away the formation plate with a smile, looked at the person in front of him, clapped his hands, and sneered: "What's wrong with being in the early stage of foundation building? Don't you have a period of early foundation building? Why do you look down on those with lower cultivation than you? You just want to gain a sense of superiority and power from us."
These words successfully broke the defenses of the late Foundation Establishment cultivator across from him, leaving him feeling embarrassed. He held himself up, clutching his bloody ear, and said angrily, "What are you two still doing watching? Aren't you going to help me get revenge?"
Two male cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building stood out from the crowd. Seeing the bloody right ear of their boss, they could no longer contain their anger and picked up their spiritual weapons to attack Qian Luo.
The other monks in the restaurant avoided him. In this world, someone has to die. It will not be the strong who die, but the weak. So no one sympathizes with the monk who is weak and wants to offend the strong. Death is his destiny.
"What's there to be afraid of two female cultivators in the early stages of foundation building? This world is all about the survival of the fittest. If you're not strong, you'll just be killed! I just look down on those with lower cultivation than me, so what?"
"Ants should just keep their tails between their legs and try to survive, instead of arguing with me! It's too late for you two female cultivators to beg for mercy now. You destroyed my ears, and I'm going to take your lives!"
"You!" Tao Yue was stunned by his shamelessness. She had never thought that someone could justify killing innocent people. It wasn't Tao Yue's fault. She had lived in District 6 since she was a child and had never seen the ups and downs of the outside world. She was like a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain.
Many people also felt sorry for this young female cultivator, who was a fourth-rank alchemist and a sword practitioner. If she had not offended such a person and joined them to participate in the second round of the competition, she might have achieved something in the future.
Wang Xin in the crowd shook his head: "Tsk tsk... You could have declined politely, but you chose an inappropriate way."
The four of them happened to be having dinner in this restaurant, and when they witnessed this scene, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
Liu Ling, a fellow female cultivator, couldn't help herself. Given her temper, if someone treated her like this, she'd have died 800 times already! But... she didn't know what to say now. After all, among the four, her alchemy skills weren't the best, and her cultivation wasn't the highest either.
So she looked at Qu Chun and Meng Rui: "Should we leave or..." Qu Chun and Meng Rui praised this female cultivator in the first round of the competition. Will they stay to help her?
Qu Chun and Meng Rui looked at each other, shook their heads, left the spirit stones, and got up to leave.
Qu Chun believed the female cultivator possessed many secrets and would surely have a way to handle the situation, so he didn't need her help. He also didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. They still had to return to analyze the situation carefully before the second round of competition, and he didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs. Besides, in the second round, except for the three members of their team, everyone else was the enemy.
Meng Rui believed that although the female cultivator had a low level of cultivation, she was good at swordsmanship and had a defensive formation. She would not lose her life against three cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Moreover, this was during the alchemy conference, and the district chief would not sit idly by. There would definitely be someone to mediate, so he didn't need to worry.
It's just that people still need to be humble. Even if this is a lesson for him, he should not show off his talents and should learn to hide his shortcomings.
Seeing that neither of them would help, Liu Ling sighed. How could she not know what these two people were thinking? She just thought that two people against three people was not enough, and the cultivation level of these three people was much higher than theirs, so she was very worried about the two female cultivators.
She looked at the two men, shook her head and walked away, along with the guards, hoping there wouldn't be too much trouble.
…
Shui Qingyan and Jiang Feiyao were eating calmly in the crowd. Shui Qingyan looked at the colorful magic spells flying in the distance, fearing that they would affect her in the next second. She looked nervous and said, "Sister Feiyao, can't we eat at other places? Or do you want to help these two female cultivators?"
He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Are you looking for them to be our teammates? Oh, I see. You saw that they are both in the early stage of foundation building and are both girls, especially since one is a fourth-grade alchemist and the other is a third-grade alchemist."
She leaned her head in, her eyes narrowed, "Do you want to test their strength?"
Shui Qingyan's speculation was not without reason. They had been looking for teammates for the past few days. Others were quite accepting of Jiang Feiyao, a fourth-grade alchemist in the middle stage of foundation building. However, when they saw that Shui Qingyan was a second-grade alchemist in the early stage of foundation building, their cultivation and alchemy skills were not enough, they all shook their heads and rejected her.
If someone knew about the relationship between Jiang Feiyao and the district chief, they would still go up to her shamelessly, but Jiang Feiyao didn't want to be with these people.
Actually, their teammate requirements were quite simple: they wanted two female third-grade alchemists, mid-stage foundation building. Unfortunately, either they were looked down upon, or they looked down upon them.
They hadn't found teammates until the first round of the competition was over, and the second round was about to begin, but they hadn't even gathered four people.
"Take another look." Jiang Feiyao put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and stared at the young female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. She had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her skin was fair and beautiful, just like the best green bamboo, tough and upright.
The five people in the center of the battle, Qian Luo holds a pen, Tao Yue holds a formation plate, and Chi Zhao breathes out a breath of fire, but he cannot spray strange fire such as the Netherworld Purple Flame, he can only spray ordinary fire to avoid being recognized.
The cultivators in the late stage of foundation building use the high-level spiritual weapon Iron Bone Wolf Fang, which is taken from Shengya Mountain near Fuyu Mountain. There are excellent iron ore here, and many spiritual weapon materials of the cultivators in the foundation building stage are obtained from here.
There were two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, one using a chain and the other using a stick. They looked quite poor. Qian Luo was wondering if there were any poor alchemists. After a closer look, she found that the badges on their waists showed that they were first-grade alchemists.
It turned out that the leading cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage was only a second-grade alchemist. No wonder he chose to find someone like her who had a low cultivation level but good alchemy skills. Wouldn't she be easier to control?
It is estimated that the two of them barely passed the first round of the competition by stealing other people's pills.
If she was really a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, she would have made no mistakes in facing the three people in front of her. She could only delay them for a while. It would be absolutely impossible for her to defeat the majority with the minority or the strong with the weak. This was completely against common sense, so Qianluo already had a countermeasure in mind.
With a flick of the jade pen, a surge of spiritual power erupted, and he wrote, "Suddenly, as if a night breeze of spring had arrived, thousands of pear trees blossomed."
"Crack, crack" the ground shook!
The three men rushed forward to attack, and the swung sticks and flying chains all stopped in the air, and were soaked in frost inch by inch!
They opened their eyes wide, feeling the cold wind blowing on their faces. The north wind was howling, and their faces were blown as if they were a lump of ice. They couldn't think!
"It's so cold..." Although they were monks and were not afraid of winter, this strange disease made them experience severe cold that they had not experienced in a hundred years.
My heart is about to fall asleep in the ice, and my brain has almost stopped working because of the cold. I am in a daze and my mind is blank. I have no idea what to do. There is only one word: cold!
Everything from feet to legs froze instantly, sticks and chains solidified into ice in the air, and snow-white ice trees rose from the ground, almost breaking through the ceiling of the restaurant!
From the outside, it looks like a world of ice and snow.
The cold air was so chilling, unprecedented, like an ice spell.
They froze in place, transformed into three ice sculptures, their eyes the only thing that moved. Frost formed on their eyebrows, snowflakes fell from their eyelashes, and their mouths were speechless. The warm breath they exhaled was instantly replaced by cold. Only then did they realize they had provoked a formidable female cultivator.
In just ten minutes, the restaurant was already covered in ice and snow, like an ice cellar. Even Jiang Feiyao's eyelashes were covered with cold snow. Shui Qingyan raised the cup tremblingly, wanting to take a sip of hot water, but when she looked down, she saw that it was frozen.
She couldn't help but think: The Ice Spiritual Root is indeed an ice-type mutant spiritual root, the power of ice is so great!
Although this female cultivator does not have ice spiritual roots and is just an ordinary cultivator, she is not simple as she uses literature to enter the Tao and uses words to fight.
The times are developing and technology is advancing. Ordinary cultivators are just magic cultivators who are skilled in fighting. Other cultivators have their own strengths, including Buddhist cultivators, magic cultivators, demon cultivators, physical cultivators, culinary cultivators... all kinds of them. I didn't expect to meet a literary cultivator today.
She really wanted to say: Sister Feiyao, don’t be picky, just pick her, this domineering magic will never be at a disadvantage anywhere!
