Chapter 187 The Myth of Qingxuan Sect Continues
So, when others were working hard to forge one sword, she forged three swords at once. In order to ensure speed, she forged the three swords to be exactly the same.
At the end, others played one rune, but she played three. When asking the talisman master to carve runes, she simply gave up the talisman master provided by the competition and called her junior sister over to carve runes for her.
After the carving was completed, three identical swords were sent to the judges for appraisal.
When all three swords were identified as top-grade spiritual swords, the whole audience exclaimed in amazement!
Even the spiritual swords forged by high-level weapon refiners may not all be of top quality, but she refined three at once, and all three were of top quality, which shows that her weapon refining skills are high and stable.
It's like she's been practicing all the time, her proficiency is really very high.
Although all three spiritual swords are top-grade, there are slight differences in the final quality. The advantage of having many swords is that Noila Mo can choose the one with the best quality as the final performance assessment.
Others can only refine one, no matter whether it is good or bad, and they have no choice. This alone makes them inferior to Noila Mo.
With the help of this sword that performed the best, she successfully won the championship of the weapon refining competition.
Noila Mo proudly came down from the refining platform, and watched the stone tablet rising slowly with her fellow disciples, watching it engrave her own name and Qingxuan Sect's name.
After the weapon refining competition, it’s time to refine the elixir.
Like Noila Mo, Hua Shiqing madly grabbed free materials. What made her even more ruthless than Noila Mo was that she refined a whole pot at a time.
Others couldn't control the heat one by one, but she was very skilled at it, cooking one pot after another, just like breathing.
The truth is that I haven't gone out, chatted or done anything else these past few days. I've been studying alchemy every day, and my proficiency is much higher than others.
When a large pot of pills came out of the furnace, the fragrance of spiritual energy instantly filled the entire pill refining arena. Many people had already decided to go and ask for the price and buy them after the competition was over.
Seeing the materials she provided being snatched away in large quantities, and being unable to stop her, the judges sadly suspected that she was not here to compete, but to collect materials and win the first place.
Hua Shiqing carefully picked out the best quality pill from the huge pot of pills and handed it over. Before handing it over, she even asked her junior sister to help carve the pill pattern on it.
After handing in the most exquisite pill, Hua Shiqing won the first place in the pill refining competition as expected.
Perhaps there are people with more experience and higher skills than her in the world of immortal cultivation, but among the disciples who work hard to collect materials and carefully refine pills, she is extremely talented and outstanding. After all, she is the only alchemist in the entire Qingxuan Sect. All the materials of her fellow disciples are given to her, and all the pills of her fellow disciples are provided by her.
After the fourth champion belonging to Qingxuan Sect was taken, they set their sights on the last non-combat competition.
This competition is Ye Linglong's talisman making competition.
What was different from the previous three matches was that in this match, before Ye Linglong even arrived, the audience, judges, and opponents were already waiting for her.
That shocking team battle final is still the most discussed topic in Jiuhua Mountain.
Everyone knew that she could draw talismans with her bare hands and deploy formations with teleportation. Everyone had seen her single-handedly change the disadvantage of an entire team battle and lead the sect's disciples to victory.
She was the most amazing rune master they had ever seen, a rune master who could perfectly combine runes and combat.
Other talisman masters who focus on drawing talismans are basically unable to fight directly.
If the rules did not allow it, Cui Jincheng and Shao Kangyan would have given the championship to her directly.
But not being able to give it to her has its advantages, as I can see her amazing skills again through the competition.
There are two wooden men with mechanical devices in the final arena of the talisman master. The talisman master needs to quickly write and draw talismans and stick them on the wooden men in battle, helping his own wooden man to add various attributes and setting various obstacles for the opponent's wooden man. The wooden man who wins in the end wins.
This was too easy for Ye Linglong. These wooden men fought slowly, had low flexibility, and were simple-minded. Every hit was accurate.
She even casually posted the ones in the real-life competition, let alone the two wooden figures.
So, while the other talisman master was still concentrating on writing the talisman paper and making it of the best quality, Ye Linglong had already thrown out several pieces.
Everyone watched as her wooden man chopped and chopped the melons and vegetables all the way to the end, winning all the way in a very short time, and unsurprisingly won the championship.
The match ended very quickly, before anyone could get enough of it. The opponent's wooden man was too weak to be beaten by Ye Linglong. It would have been more interesting to watch a real-life team battle.
But then again, apart from the last match with Kunwu City, the team battles against other sects were also a piece of cake, not much slower than this one.
At the end of the competition, Ye Linglong won the championship of the Talisman Master Competition without any surprise and deservedly.
When the stone tablet slowly rose up and engraved Ye Linglong's name, Cui Jincheng and Shao Kangyan pushed each other several times.
"If you want to accept a disciple, go and ask."
"Didn't you covet my talent before? Why don't you go?"
"With her level, I might not be able to beat her. What qualifications do I have to compete with her to be her apprentice?"
"That's easy, just let her be your master."
"Bah, you old and disrespectful thing!"
"Oh, how good are you! Look at the talisman!"
"You plotted against me! Just wait, you're done for!"
The two were still arguing when Ye Linglong had already walked away.
After winning the fifth championship of the Peak Martial Arts Contest, the legend of Qingxuan Sect continued on Mount Jiuhua.
Many people didn't understand before, why the four major sects, with such abundant resources and so many disciples, couldn't produce a dedicated and focused monk like Lu Baiwei.
It was not until they won four championships in eight non-combat competitions that everyone gradually realized that in Qingxuan Sect, it seemed that everyone could freely develop their own expertise, and there would always be someone to make up for their shortcomings outside of their expertise.
They never fight among themselves and their unity is enviable.
No other sect can do this alone. After all, no other sect has such a small number of people as they do, so there is no competitive pressure within the sect.
More than half of the competition schedule of the Peak Martial Arts Competition has been completed, and what remains is the most important part of the Peak Martial Arts Competition, the top 20 ranking competitions for the senior, intermediate and beginner groups of the individual competition.
In previous years, everyone's attention was on the four major sects, but the difference this year is that there is an additional Qingxuan Sect that specializes in performing miracles.
The top 20 ranking matches also proceeded quickly.
Relying on the points he had learned in Zhayun City, Luo Yanzhong made it into the top 20 of the intermediate group, but was sent back in the first game and barely ranked 20th.
There were ten Yuanying in the senior group where Jiang Yuzheng was. He, a Jindan, tried his best and got the twelfth place, which was a very good result. However, his last match was unfortunate because he faced Pei Luobai and was beaten by him openly. He had to swallow all the bitterness.
After Cao Yongxin was eliminated and Ye Rongyue broke through to the Jindan stage, Yu Xingzhou was still the only two Jindan players in the primary group. According to the grouping of the previous elimination round, he and Ye Rongyue were in the same half zone, so they were about to meet in the semi-finals. On the other side, Ye Linglong's opponents were all at the foundation-building stage, so she entered the finals easily, waiting for the other opponent to be decided.
The situation in the intermediate group was not as satisfactory either. During the ranking competition, Mu Xiaoran, Ning Mingcheng and Ji Zizhuo were divided into the same half. The three of them had to decide the winner before one of them could enter the finals.
The situation in the senior group was also very tense. Pei Luobai, Liu Yuanxu and Helian Fang were placed in the same half of the group. They had to beat them one by one to have a chance of entering the finals.
As time draws closer, the race for the final spot is about to begin, and the atmosphere begins to become tense again.

Really, I don’t understand why.
There will be three updates tomorrow. I’ll take a few days off first. This time it’s for real.
