Chapter 40
Shu Li nodded. "Chengtian Sect is the second most powerful sect in the Middle Realm. They were completely slaughtered by the demonic cultivators. The cultivators in the Upper Realm will not sit idly by."
"It just so happens that we are having a competition. If we achieve outstanding results in the competition, the cultivators in the upper realm will definitely be interested in recruiting us."
The fighting competition is a competition specially prepared by the Central Realm for the young disciples of the major sects.
If an outer disciple wants to be promoted to an inner disciple, this is an opportunity, and the reward for the disciple who wins the first place in the competition is also very generous.
But that's not the most attractive thing.
Everyone yearns for the chance to attract the attention of the monks from the upper realm who come to select the best talents and become a disciple of a sect in the upper realm.
It has been a long time since any disciple from the Middle Realm was selected to go to the Upper Realm.
The previous person who had made all the sects in the upper realm fight each other to pieces with absolute strength was now sitting in front of him.
Looking at Shu Li, who was picking out fish bones and feeding them to the panda next to her, Yu Tai pondered for a moment: "How eye-catching should it be?"
The man opposite put down his chopsticks and curled his lips: "Far better than Shu Li back then."
That's really... a bit difficult.
In addition to winning the first place in the fighting competition, Shu Li also did another thing that made the people from various major sects who had originally wanted to recruit him ask for him without hesitation from Qingshan Sword Sect.
He killed a demon cultivator who had been lurking in a sect in the upper realm for decades.
That demon cultivator was quite capable. He made his way through the sect and became an inner disciple without anyone discovering his true identity.
As a result, he only came to the middle realm when his true identity was discovered by a young boy whom he did not take seriously at all, and he lost his life.
This incident caused turmoil in the Three Realms at that time, and even any mortal in the lower realm had heard of it.
From then on, the sects would conduct strict inspections when recruiting disciples to prevent evil cultivators from disguising themselves as ordinary disciples and taking advantage of the situation.
The original owner was able to get in successfully because of her natural beauty and the fact that the demon-repelling beads were really useful at the time. Later, when she found out that those inexplicable selection conditions were for checking demon cultivators, the original owner, who was still young at the time, was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
From then on, she probably became wary of Shu Li and had murderous intentions, so much so that when there were better candidates for framing, she still took the risk and chose Shu Li without hesitation.
"How did you know that the man was a demon cultivator?" Yu Tai asked.
He could recognize the demonic cultivators who had been lurking in the sects of the upper realm for hundreds of years, so there was no reason why he couldn't recognize Yu Tai since she was just a little girl at the time.
Shu Li did not directly answer the question, but only said: "It's just a coincidence."
But the answer doesn't seem to matter now.
After all, Yu Tai was a demon cultivator, and the person in front of him knew it very well.
If the fighting competition is to be more exciting than Shu Li's back then, Yu Tai really can't think of one for the time being.
It’s impossible that another unlucky demon cultivator would appear specifically to kill Yu Tai.
Are you kidding me? Are demonic cultivators such common things?
Upper realm, Jade Sect.
The man with a youthful face and white hair stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, his serious face showing a look of deep thought.
The Taoist boy standing behind him had a look of respect on his face.
Elder He is a serious person who is strict and meticulous in disciplining his disciples. He is the best candidate for the position of the head of the sect and is unanimously recognized by everyone.
Although he said with a stern face that he was not worthy of the position, everyone knew that no one was more suitable for the position than him.
Although Elder He never spoke of his contributions to the Yu Sect, everyone saw it.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew on the Taoist boy's face, and the next second, an inexplicable drowsiness swept through his brain like a tide.
The man, noticing something, turned around immediately and asked, "Who is it?"
A strange black mist stood silently behind him.
The man's originally alert expression changed instantly after he saw the black mist.
"grown ups."
If the Taoist boy was still awake, he would be very shocked.
It was because Elder He, who always had only one expression, actually started crying towards a ball of black fog.
"Are you here to pick me up? Wuuuu, I really can't stay in this damn place for a moment, please take me away, wuuuu." He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
He was a demon cultivator who had killed countless people. For hundreds of years, he had been cautiously pretending to be a righteous cultivator. He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation by pretending to be a righteous cultivator.
As a result, he accidentally outlasted all the monks of the same period and somehow got the position of elder.
God knows how he got through this.
In order to suppress his desire to kill, he even refused to eat meat, for fear of smelling even the slightest bit of meat.
"Sir...if you don't come soon, they will nominate me as the leader!"
"It's inappropriate for me, a demonic cultivator, to be the head of a righteous sect! It's inappropriate to make this known to others!!"
"He Tianba, don't make noise," a voice came from the black fog.
The voice was very soft, without any sense of oppression, but it was this sound that made He Tianba, who was originally crying bitterly, suddenly fall silent and make a gesture of sealing his mouth.
"You go to the Middle Realm Fighting Tournament in person."
He Tianba was so moved by the words of this lord that tears streamed down his face. "That's great... After hundreds of years, I can finally die."
I can finally escape from this prison-like world.
When he came to his senses, the black fog in front of him was gone, and the little Taoist boy who had been unconscious also woke up, looking at He Tianba who was kneeling not far away with a puzzled look on his face.
"Elder?"
He Tianba was startled when he heard the little Taoist boy's voice. Then he maintained this posture, stroking the stone under his hand, with a look of praise on his serious face: "Not bad."
The Taoist boy suddenly understood.
This stone has been here since the founding of the sect, absorbing the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon. It is no longer an ordinary stone.
But who among the monks would care about a mere stone?
Only the elder noticed this stone that had been ignored for many years and praised him.
Stones work hard to grow for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, isn't it just to wait for a word of recognition?
The Taoist boy shed tears of emotion.
He Tianba stood up upon seeing this, touched his head, and said meaningfully: "It's good that you understand." God knows what you have imagined.
The Taoist boy nodded vigorously: "I will follow the elder's teachings."
...
Two days before the competition officially started, Li Shijie sent a message to Yu Tai to ask her to go down the mountain to purchase together.
After coming out of the Bishui Secret Realm, she was the first to rush over when she was hit by Mo Zhen's whip and could not move. Although she was shaking with fear, she still held Yu Tai and refused to let go.
During her recovery period, after being teased by Shu Li for not knowing the monsters, she decided to study hard and catch up on her knowledge of the world of cultivation. Since she couldn't move around freely, she asked Li Shijie to bring some books back from the library for her.
After a few days of interaction, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Glancing at Shu Li who was trimming Xia Mo's long hair, Yu Tai asked him if he needed anything.
Shu Li stopped what he was doing, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before shaking his head and whispering to her, "Come back soon."
