Chapter 13 Penglai Island (Part 3) “Then Yun also knows a little bit about boxing…
"one thousand?!"
"The trial just started, and one group already got a thousand points?"
"Fuck, what are we still standing there for? Grab the spiritual plants to earn points and rank higher!"
In the secret realm, the disciples from all sects were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, staring intently at all the spiritual plants around them that could be picked.
Yu Yongji's words seemed to still ring in their ears.
What about the Heavenly Ganoderma Lucidum that has the power to bring back the dead! A flying boat that can freely travel across thirty-four states and a wish filled with infinite reverie!
What about crossing the Qingshan spiritual vein and practicing for ten years! In the end, even if you come in third, you can still choose a magical weapon from the richest man's family!
All of the above are fatal temptations!
Suddenly, the scene became a mess.
Sword cultivators unsheathed their swords, sweeping across with a single blast of sword energy, uprooting the spiritual plants and collecting them in their pockets. Formation cultivators produced their formation stones, tightly enveloping the land within a ten-mile radius. Others were unable to advance, and could only watch helplessly as they plucked the spiritual plants one by one.
[Announcement]: Group 57 has 100 points, group 63 has 120 points.
[Announcement]: Group 63, one hundred and twenty, one hundred and thirty, one hundred and forty-five...
Other monks: Don't be so bullying! We will fight you, a bunch of idiots!
Outside the water mirror, the team leaders looked on with satisfaction as their disciples actively competed for the spiritual plants.
The servants of the Yu Mansion served tea and snacks to each distinguished guest present.
Xie Rangchen poured himself a cup of hot tea, put it to his lips to cool it down, and took a sip.
The spirit bird sat on the table, eating the platter of nuts and fruits bite by bite.
The leader of the Dan Sect's team this time was the sect's Grand Elder. He gazed at the water mirror, closely gazing at the surrounded Yun Bujin, and sneered, "He doesn't even consider the occasion, using a jade slip to send a message... Is he arrogant and conceited, or does he not take our Dan Sect cultivators seriously?"
Someone nearby held a different opinion and said, "I don't think so. He might be looking for help."
Yu Yongji was unsure. He turned his head and was about to ask Master Yuyin how long Yun Bujin could hold on, but he saw him shaking his head.
"He's the captain. He can handle this kind of small situation on his own."
Yu Yongji finally felt relieved and continued to look at the water mirror.
Yun Bujin put away the jade slip and looked around at the alchemy practitioners around him calmly.
The leading man stepped forward, raised his chin slightly and asked, "Are you a disciple of Shaoyang Sect?" He seemed to be asking, but in fact he was very sure that the man in front of him was from Shaoyang Sect, because he had seen him at the table not long ago.
"No, you've got the wrong person." Yun Bujin said seriously, "I'm a disciple of the Fa Sect. You want to rob the Shaoyang Sect, what does it have to do with me, the Fa Sect? Why don't you save your energy and let me go?"
The four members of the Dan Sect choked collectively. They thought: We've met a ruthless person. In order to avoid being robbed, he even refused to acknowledge his own sect.
"Captain, stop listening to his smooth talk!" someone said.
The Danzong captain snorted coldly, raised his hand, and pinched three pills between his fingers. He gave instructions to the other three: "First, tie him up, and then find his teammates to exchange spiritual plants."
He had an ambiguous smile on his face, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "Even if we can't tie him up, we must defeat him and disqualify him from the trial. Then we can rob the Shaoyang Sect."
After saying that, he threw out the pill.
"Oh." Yun Bujin easily dodged sideways.
The moment the pill hit the ground, it caused a violent explosion, creating a hole more than half a meter deep.
Yun Bujin's eyes flashed, and he formed a seal with one hand, so fast that only an afterimage could be seen. He said, "If you don't understand what I'm saying, then I, Yun, also know a little bit about boxing and kicking."
"Roar--" The four beasts roared deafeningly at the same time.
The white shadow gradually solidified.
The people from Danzong took a closer look and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The four white tigers had sharp nails and their strong claws rubbed heavily on the ground, leaving deep scratches.
The Danzong captain frowned and threw three more pills. Humph, unlike last time, this time the pills he used had an additional secret technique, a built-in tracking function.
He didn't believe that Yun Bujin could easily dodge it!
However, just as this thought came to his mind, he was hit in the face and it hurt.
A white tiger jumped in front of Yun Bujin, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the pills.
Even deliberately simulate the sound of chewing.
How can something created by spiritual power eat?
Captain Danzong gritted his teeth and looked at the people behind Baihu.
He was clearly humiliating himself!
"Burp." Baihu smacked his lips, and his body suddenly grew a little bigger due to the nourishment of the elixir.
The four Danzong people: "!" There is such a thing? Are the current practitioners so incredible?
Yun Bujin curved his eyes and asked with a smile, "Everyone, is it my turn to take action next?"
Outside the water mirror.
The expression on the face of the Danzong's Great Elder was extremely ugly.
Yu Yongji leaned back in his chair, looking contented. Yun Bujin, this kid, wasn't very good at finger-guessing, but he was quite good at fighting.
Xie Rangchen raised an eyebrow. He once knew a cultivator who could perform the White Tiger Art.
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and a spirited figure and a jade gourd flashed through his mind.
He silently recited Yun Bujin's name.
His surname is also Yun.
"Quick, look! Is that the three-legged golden crow?" An excited voice sounded, and everyone turned their eyes to the picture next to Yun Bujin.
The Beast Sect elder stood up in a flash, his lips trembling. "Yes... that's right, it is indeed the Three-legged Golden Crow!"
His eyes turned red as he watched: "Another disciple of Shaoyang Sect, their Shaoyang Sect is really too lucky!"
True Man Yu Yin seemed not to hear anything and looked up at the water mirror silently.
The cave was pitch black.
The egg in Xu Feihuai's arms went from warm to ice-cold, its temperature still dropping slowly. He frowned, and a spiritual flame suddenly ignited from his fingertips, instantly illuminating the cave.
According to legend, the three-legged golden crow is the essence of the sun and the spirit of the sun. In the human world, the golden crow is another name for the sun.
It looks like a crow, has three legs, and can resist fire.
Compared to him, Xu Feihuai's size was too small.
The Golden Crow let out a shrill wail, and a ball of flame took the opportunity to burst out from it, its power dozens of times stronger than the spiritual flame.
Xu Feihuai was quick-witted and quick-handed. He spun around holding the egg and barely avoided the impact of the flames, but the flowers and plants behind him were not so lucky. They all turned to ashes the moment they encountered the fire.
He didn't dare to be careless and immediately summoned his own spirit sword. The spirit sword protected its master and automatically protected Xu Feihuai when the next wave of flames from the Golden Crow came.
In the cave, fire and sword energy collided with each other.
Xu Feihuai looked down at the egg in his arms. Its temperature was getting lower and lower. Even though he had been using his spiritual power to warm it, it was like a drop in the bucket.
Also watching the egg was the Three-legged Golden Crow. The egg was the child it had painstakingly nurtured for hundreds of years. If it fell into the hands of a cultivator, it would likely be drained of its spiritual energy and die. Therefore, it tried to restrain its force to avoid accidentally injuring the egg.
Time passed by little by little, and the outcome was unclear. It all depended on who ran out of spiritual power first.
Due to the long-term high temperature and the rapid loss of spiritual power, Xu Feihuai's throat was so dry that it was almost smoking, and his lips began to peel and crack. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead and hit the eggshell.
“Crack.”
He moved his ears and heard a very small sound.
Then he looked down at the egg. A huge crack appeared on its shell.
Xu Feihuai's nerves jumped, and he immediately called out to stop: "Wait a minute, it's coming out."
Just as Jinwu was about to create a bigger fireball, he felt a lump in his throat and almost couldn't breathe.
As the flames disappeared, Xu Feihuai put away his sword and placed the egg on a stone.
The cracks in the eggshell quickly grew longer, then pieces began to fall off, revealing a curled-up ball of black fur at the bottom. Xu Feihuai compared the egg to the size of his palm, which had once been half the height of his calf.
The Golden Crow transformed into a human form, a middle-aged man with a charming and alluring appearance. He hurriedly approached the newborn cub, but since he was a first-time father, he didn't dare to touch it easily, for fear of scaring it.
"Why is there no crying?" Xu Feihuai asked.
Jinwu was suddenly awakened from his joy, as if he was splashed with a basin of cold water, and his whole body was cold.
"How could this be!" He carefully picked up the cub. Even as strong as he was, he could not bear the blow of losing his son.

[Announcement]: One group has obtained 300 points, and the total points are currently 1,300, ranking first so far.
[Announcement]: Group 2 has earned 250 points, with a total of 1,000 points, placing them second. All disciples participating in the trials, please continue your efforts; the prizes are waiting for you!
Qu Wanqing let out a long sigh. Fortunately, their group still ranked first, and her efforts were not in vain.
She gripped her sword tightly and protected her storage bag.
She glanced around and saw dozens of sword cultivators, weapon cultivators, talisman cultivators, etc. closing in on her.
Fu Xiu raised his hand and threw out a piece of talisman paper. Green vines spread out from the paper, stretching towards her wrist like a living thing.
Qu Wanqing swung her sword to sever the vines. Immediately afterwards, a sword cultivator attacked with his sword, but she blocked it horizontally. The weapon cultivator behind her could no longer hold back and planned to launch a sneak attack with his flying knife.
She hated those who acted dishonestly and dishonestly, and the weapon cultivator's actions truly disgusted her. Qu Wanqing's spiritual energy surged, and with a forceful wrist movement, she slashed forward with her longsword, forcing the sword cultivator back repeatedly.
She seized the opportunity, quickly turned over and pointed her sword. The flying knife and the sword blade collided with each other, causing a crisp sound.
Qu Wanqing raised her sword fingers and slashed across the sword. The spirit sword hummed, and a white light suddenly appeared. Hundreds of phantoms of long swords emerged from her body.
She raised her sword and pointed it at the pale weapon cultivator. She raised the corner of her lips slightly, and her tone was as gentle as usual: "You, come and fight me fair and square."
The weapon cultivator swallowed hard. He was naturally timid, a bully who feared the strong and favored sneak attacks in fights. Today, he encountered a tough opponent who, with a raised hand, struck a sword shadow that split the light. His heart suddenly leaped into his throat, knowing full well that with his strength, he would probably lose miserably.
So, he immediately took out the jade slip distributed during the trial and crushed it decisively without giving anyone time to react.
At the same time, a white light descended from the sky and covered his body.
The moment his figure disappeared, Qu Wanqing cursed for the first time in his life: "Coward!"
The sword cultivators, talisman cultivators and others were stunned.
Even the people outside the water mirror covered their eyes, saying, "It's shameful to watch" and "What a shame." The leader of the weapon cultivators could not bear the humiliation and left Du Qingshan in anger.
Qu Wanqing turned around, her eyes locked on the sword cultivator and talisman cultivator who were still glaring at her, and spoke word by word, "Come, fight."
Half an hour later, the sword cultivators, talisman cultivators, and others fell to the ground one after another and were teleported away. Qu Wanqing's spiritual power was almost exhausted. He bent down, using only his sword to support himself to prevent himself from falling.
She needs rest.
But before she took a step, she heard a cry for help from afar, and then smelled a strong smell of blood.
The male cultivator was about her age, his white robes stained mostly with blood, his head bandaged, his lips pale as paper. In the scorching summer heat, his body was shaking violently, and his voice was trembling.
"Help...Help! Fairy, please help me!"
Qu Wanqing told him not to be anxious and to calm down before talking.
The young man pursed his cracked lips, his throat full of the taste of blood, and said in a hoarse voice: "My senior brother, please save my senior brother! He was ambushed and seriously injured, and the jade slips and spiritual medicine were taken away. In order to protect me, my senior brother fought them alone for a long time. That group of people bullied and humiliated him..."
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he sobbed uncontrollably, "He's only breathing now. I don't have any elixirs, so even if I gave him spiritual energy, it would have had little effect. I couldn't contact my senior sisters in the same group, so I had to come out alone to seek help from kind people. Fairy, I really beg you, please save my senior brother!"
His mind was in a mess and he was about to kneel down and pay his respects.
Qu Wanqing held his shoulders, observing that his true feelings were not fake, and said, "Take me to see it. I will do my best."

Halfway up the mountain.
Zhu Ciying opened the jade slip, revealing a map of Duqing Mountain. She zoomed in and took a closer look, noting a river called Hualong River on the mountaintop. There were many kinds of medicines for restoring spiritual roots, and the Seven-Leaf Illusion Branch she had just obtained wasn't considered top-tier.
The Encyclopedia of Alchemy records that the best elixirs grow near water. Perhaps she should go to the top of the mountain and try her luck in the Hualong River.
Xie Rangchen's fighting spirit had been completely extinguished since he lost his memory. She suspected that 80% of the reason was due to the immense blow he had suffered, coupled with his lack of spiritual power. So when she asked him if he was interested in revenge, he was heartbroken and uttered a series of dejected words.
If Zhu Ciying didn't like his words, all the talk about peace in the three realms and the meaningless fighting and killing was bullshit! She was used to taking revenge in her two lifetimes and never waited until the next day to take revenge.
Her only regret was that she was too weak in her previous life and was unable to avenge her fellow disciples and kill the Demon Lord.
If she had the chance and enough strength, she would kill him a hundred times.
[Announcement]: One group's points dropped to one thousand, and the ranking changed, currently ranking third.
[Announcement]: Group 2 has scored 1,100 points and has risen to first place. Group 38 has scored 1,050 points and is currently ranked second. Please work hard, everyone in the trial!
A decrease in points means that something is very likely to happen to a team member.
Zhu Ciying's heart sank slightly. Yun Bujin and Xu Feihuai were in trouble, so it was impossible for them to get 300 points in such a short time. The only one who would lose points was Qu Wanqing.
Senior sister.
Zhu Ciying exited the map and opened the chat interface.
Sure enough, there was a message from Qu Wanqing:
[Qu Wanqing]: Junior Sister, I picked Taiyin Grass, Golden Marrow Spirit Grass, Red Sun Flower, Yuan Gu Flower... By the way, what spiritual plants did you pick? I'm curious what the spiritual plant worth a thousand points looks like. Can you let me see it?
[Qu Wanqing]: Also, I have a minor back injury, and it's difficult to handle it alone. Could you come and bandage it for me? I'll be waiting for you in a nearby cave.
Finally, I emphasized: I am injured and it is inconvenient for me, so please don’t bring anyone else here.
Zhu Ciying stared at the jade slip, her fingertips lingering on the shared location she had sent, but she hesitated to click on it.
