Isn't this a cultivation world?
How come there's a bamboo ball?
Do cultivators play Cuju (ancient Chinese football) in their daily lives?
Bai Qingqing rubbed her eyes and looked up again, only to find that it was just a clump of withered branches.
I guess the sun was so strong just now that I saw things.
Seeing Bai Qingqing look away, Huo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While we were frantically sealing the Millstone and the Heavenly Wheel, I accidentally kicked the Bamboo Ball away.
Luckily, it was agile enough to hook it back with a single wing.
Later, I'll have Sister Tao make a few more bamboo balls and put them in the courtyard to confuse people.
"Fourth Brother, do you know about bamboo berries?" Bai Qingqing turned to look at Bai Xu and asked.
"Bamboo ball? What's that?" Bai Xu was gnawing on a crab leg when he heard this and looked up, puzzled.
"It's just a game prop," Bai Qingqing said.
"Never heard of it." After saying that, Bai Xu nudged Yun Zhan beside him with his elbow and asked, "Young Master Yun, do you know about it?"
Yun Zhan shook his head: "This is the first time I've heard of it either. Miss Bai, what does Zhu Ju look like?"
"It's a ball made of bamboo. It's a multiplayer game that can be both entertaining and good for your health," Bai Qingqing explained simply.
"How do you play it?" Bai Xu perked up instantly upon hearing about the game.
Bai Qingqing paused for a moment. She didn't know the rules of Cuju, but she knew about football.
So I simply adopted it directly.
It's about the same anyway.
"That sounds interesting." Bai Xu's eyes lit up, looking eager to try it out.
Bai Qingqing's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Xiao Hao, if I organize a Cuju (ancient Chinese football) tournament to determine the champion, runner-up, and third-place winners, and then use high-grade spirit stones as prizes, would that be considered incurring karmic retribution?"
“Host, you’re paying people to perform for your own entertainment, so it doesn’t count,” Xiao Hao said.
"That's good," Bai Qingqing replied.
He roughly understood that this so-called "cause and effect" was actually similar to the Spirit Stone Ledger.
It's fine as long as it's used for yourself.
"Cause and Effect" has fewer restrictions and is more flexible than the Spirit Stone Ledger, especially in terms of amounts.
"Fourth Brother, do you want to play?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Yes, I do." Bai Xukuang nodded.
"Qingqing, what you said is quite interesting. We'd like to give it a try too," Bai Wenyuan said, clearing his throat.
“Yes, yes,” Niu Yancai echoed.
"Since everyone wants to try it, let's hold a Cuju (ancient Chinese football) tournament," Bai Qingqing said.
"What should we do? How many people do we need?" Yun Yue asked hurriedly.
"Let's select nine teams for the first competition," Bai Qingqing said after thinking for a moment. "Each team will have eleven people."
As the ancient saying goes, nine is the ultimate number.
Well, actually she was just worried that if there were too many teams, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, they didn't understand the rules, so she had to train them first.
After this session is over, all those who participated in the first session can become coaches.
She'll expand the scale then.
That's exactly when her fame began.
As for why there are eleven people instead of the standard twenty-three, Bai Qingqing thinks that cultivators shouldn't need substitutes, right?
"People are easy to talk to, but those rules you just mentioned..." Bai Xu scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "I forgot them."
"He's a pig-brain, all he remembers is food," Bai Hao said. "When does your sister plan to start the competition?"
“Since you’ve never played Cuju before, you need to spend some time practicing first. That way, the matches will be more intense and more interesting,” Bai Qingqing said.
"Qingqing, what exactly does that bamboo ball look like?" Yuexi asked.
"I'll do it," Bai Qingqing said. "Once everyone has formed a team, go to Wukong to register, and then I will give everyone a unified explanation."
"Qingqing, are there any restrictions on forming a team?" Bai Wuji asked.
"Anyone can participate," Bai Qingqing said. "I will prepare a top-grade spirit stone trophy in advance to award to the champion, runner-up, and third-place winners."
"Champion, runner-up, and third place?" Yuexi asked, "What are those?"
"It's the first, second, and third place," Bai Qingqing explained. "Of course, there will be consolation prizes for fourth to ninth place. Let's set it for a month after registration, what do you think?"
"Excellent, excellent," everyone echoed.
After a sumptuous lunch, everyone received indescribable benefits.
The lower the level of understanding, the more obvious it becomes.
Zheng Wanning has already advanced from the early stage of the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm to the peak of the third level of the Sea Gathering Realm.
This sudden surge in strength thrilled Zheng Wanning.
Unfortunately, she didn't dare to eat too much.
Having received benefits, one should naturally work even harder.
Sowing was much easier than clearing land in the morning.
All you need to do is stay shocked.
After all, Bai Qingqing had brought out top-grade spiritual roots that they had never seen before.
Although it wasn't an innate spiritual root, it far surpassed a superior spiritual root. They didn't know what grade it was.
Only Yun Zhan recognized them; these were all the first batch of spiritual roots after the creation of the world.
He had only seen it in ancient books.
If a deity were to obtain even one, he would wish to treat it as an ancestor.
For the big shots, it's just ingredients.
Stay calm, stay calm.
With many people working together, the sowing was completed quickly.
Bai Qingqing looked at the neatly planned vegetable garden and smiled with satisfaction.
But when his gaze shifted to the flattened courtyard of Bai Xu, his smile gradually froze.
There's still such a large area to cover; the task ahead is arduous and the road ahead is long.
"Sir, when do you plan to cultivate the remaining land?" Luo Xingran asked, following Bai Qingqing's gaze.
"Let's talk about it after the recruiters arrive," Bai Qingqing said.
"Miss Bai, where are these hoes and shovels?" Yun Yue asked as she gathered all the farm tools that everyone had used.
"If you don't mind how ugly it is, I'll give it to you," Bai Qingqing said.
Anyway, it wasn't difficult for her to refine top-grade spiritual weapons.
And they were all very clean.
To help the system repair the spiritual veins of this world as soon as possible, relying solely on the Star Moon Sect is not enough; a larger force needs to be built.
They are all excellent candidates.
"Give it to us?" Yun Yue lost his grip on the hoe and it hit his foot, making him jump in pain.
Yunxi and Yunzhan both slapped their foreheads; the scene was too beautiful to bear.
"Consider this a thank you to everyone for coming to help today," Bai Qingqing said. "It's just that the hairstyle is a bit ugly, so if you don't like it..."
"I like it, I like it," Yun Yue said repeatedly, showing none of the composure and dignity befitting one of the eight great families of Central Continent.
"Then let's divide them all up," Bai Qingqing said.
Although these people were excited, they did not fight or grab anything, and only took what they had just used.
There were a few items left, and Bai Qingqing threw them all to Bai Wuji: "Father, take them. You can use them yourself or give them away."
"Okay." Bai Wuji happily put it away.
