Around noon, Xu Zisheng left the mountain gate of Guiyun Sect with several disciples of Yuan Huizong.
"You go back to the sect first. I have some things to deal with down the mountain." Xu Zisheng instructed his fellow disciples.
After watching the few people leave, Xu Zisheng walked to a hidden corner in the mountain and took out the Thousand Mile Talisman.
......
Yan Ying left the hall, but before she had walked far, she saw Xu Zisheng, who had just left, appear in front of her again.
"Senior Brother Xu?" Yan Ying looked at Xu Zisheng curiously. "Didn't you guys go down the mountain? Master just left the main hall. Do you need me..."
"I came to see you." Xu Zisheng looked at Yan Ying and said softly. "Can we talk?"
Yan Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Zisheng in front of her in confusion.
Xu Zisheng should be in his thirties now. Yan Ying knew that he was a few years older than the senior brother.
She remembered that Xu Zisheng had been arrogant seven years ago, but now there was no trace of arrogance in him. Instead, he was calm and humble.
Yan Ying nodded. She was very curious about what Senior Brother Xu from Yuan Huizong wanted to talk to her about.
"Could you please find a quiet place for me, Junior Sister?" Xu Zisheng smiled faintly.
"Okay, come with me, senior brother." Yan Ying said as she stepped forward to lead the way.
Cen Ji, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Xu Zisheng's back with a fierce look on his face, wishing he could turn his eyes into a sharp blade to pierce the man. He was worried about Yan Ying being alone with others, so he hid his figure and followed behind the two of them.
"Few people come here, so it's quite quiet." Yan Ying brought Bai Huanzhi to the stone forest behind Yuankun Peak.
"The sect competition will be held in a few days. How is Junior Sister Yan preparing?" Xu Zisheng spoke softly.
"No need to prepare anything, I'll just do my best." Yan Ying replied with a smile. "What about Senior Brother Xu? Yuan Huizong must have high expectations of him."
Yan Ying believed that people like Xu Zisheng should attach great importance to personal cultivation and fame, and the sect competition was undoubtedly the best opportunity to enhance fame.
Xu Zisheng chuckled and shook his head. "You're right. Just do your best. Junior Sister Yan, do you know why every sect wants to win first place in the sect competition?"
"Being the best in the sect should be the pursuit of all sects." Yan Ying didn't understand why Xu Zisheng asked her this.
This was her second time meeting Xu Zisheng, including the time in Fuzhou seven years ago. She didn't understand his temper and was still a little wary of him.
Xu Zisheng pursed his lips, chuckled, and shook his head. What was more attractive than the first place in the sect was the prize for winning the sect competition.
"Before the sect competition, participating sects will offer any seventh-level or higher magical weapon as an entry ticket. These magical weapons are also the prizes of the competition, and some of them include rare treasures and elixirs that nourish spiritual power."
"The number of immortal sects participating in the last competition was close to 300. The sect that won the competition was able to select 60% of the magic weapons first."
"I haven't heard of this..." Yan Ying frowned slightly when she heard Xu Zisheng's words.
Isn't the sect competition meant to motivate cultivators to practice? Why are there prizes involved?
The strange thing was that she had never heard of the prize from anyone else.
"Junior sister, you have never participated in a competition, so it's normal that you don't know about this. People who practice cultivation are afraid of pursuing profit, so prizes are generally not mentioned." Xu Zisheng explained softly.
Yan Ying nodded in response.
Compared to these, she was more curious about Xu Zisheng's intention in coming to see her.
"In this competition, I should face Junior Sister Yan in the ring." Xu Zisheng said softly.
The rules of the competition are one-on-one. Each sect sends disciples to compete against other sects, and the two opposing teams are determined by the rankings of the previous competition.
Guiyun Sect ranked second in the previous competition, so this time they will face Yuan Huizong.
"Shouldn't Senior Brother Xu welcome my Senior Brother? If he goes against me, then my Senior Brother will be at a loss." Yan Ying said puzzledly.
She knew the rules of the sect competition. Xu Zisheng was considered a high-level cultivator among Yuan Huizong's disciples. Logically, he should face Bai Huanzhi, who was also a high-level cultivator, to ensure his overall winning rate.
"Junior Sister Yan can beat me, and Bai Huanzhi can also beat me." Xu Zisheng said to himself.
