Chapter 236: Xu Hui’s investigation of the competition naturally did not escape Wei’s notice…
Xu Hui's investigation naturally did not escape Wei Muheng's perception. He simply turned slightly to the side and saw the figure in the void. He nodded and smiled, "Sister-in-law."
Xu Hui was caught red-handed. She snorted sheepishly, then floated over and took out a storage ring. "This is for Big Brother."
Inside were the more than 3,000 Taoist spiritual fruits, which were given to her again by Tree Face along with the light spots. She just wanted to offer them as a gift.
Wei Muheng scanned the area with his spiritual sense and immediately revealed an increasingly sincere smile. "Thank you, sister-in-law. This is exactly what I needed."
Xu Hui was stunned when she heard this. She looked more carefully, but still couldn't see anything. Was Wei Muheng really suffering a backlash?
She can't tell anyway!
That's right. In such a grand occasion, as the head of the Wei family, Wei Muheng would naturally not show weakness. If his backlash was exposed to the outside world, who knows how many malicious inquiries it would attract.
What's more, this competition is to compete for the resources obtained in the secret realm and the control over the secret realm territory in the future, so naturally the stronger the better.
Xu Hui, who thought she had figured it out, shook her head slightly, "As long as I can help Big Brother."
In fact, what she didn't know was that the backlash caused by prying into the secrets of heaven had been repaired by the great amount of merit she had received after she rescued Qilin.
Moreover, the merits Wei Muheng had gained were no less than hers, ranking first among everyone.
However, as a normal practitioner, Xu Hui could not detect the existence of merits and could only judge from the spiritual power that continuously flowed into her body. The merits she obtained this time were really too much, so much so that the spiritual power flowed to her like it was free of charge. It was definitely the favor of heaven and the gift of heaven and earth.
Those who were in seclusion on the same mountain with her were all influenced by her. The spiritual energy around them was so strong that the Mahayana monks who were guarding them benefited a lot.
When this situation occurred, Wei Muheng immediately intercepted a portion of the spiritual power to improve his cultivation.
What he cultivated was the art of deduction, and was stuck in the Nascent Soul stage due to the backlash of his body. But in fact, he could glimpse such important secrets. In terms of the realm of his main skills, he had already surpassed the ordinary Nascent Soul and even reached the Out-of-Body stage.
That’s right, Wei Muheng is already a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage!
Wei Muheng is different from Xu Hui. As a genius in calculation, he can not only see merits, but also guide them to work for himself.
Therefore, he not only used his merits to repair the damage caused by the backlash, but also guided his spiritual power to rise rapidly, and even overcame the thunder tribulation with ease.
It was so fast that everything was done in just ten days, thanks to Xu Hui who attracted a large amount of spiritual power, which facilitated his operation.
Therefore, it was normal that Xu Hui could not see through Wei Muheng's cultivation level, because he was indeed a whole realm higher than him.
For people who originally practiced the art of calculation, it was difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, and it was profound and difficult to understand. It was normal that she couldn't see clearly.
Not to mention her, even a Mahayana cultivator who is one realm higher than Wei Muheng would not dare to say that he can see him clearly.
After all, when it comes to calculations, one can often borrow the power of heaven, and the explosive power can destroy the world. Challenging higher-level opponents is child's play, but the curse of higher-level opponents is hard to guard against.
Not to mention the Mahayana cultivators, even real immortals would not want to be cursed by them.
Therefore, Xu Hui was right to think that Wei Muheng was unfathomable, and others also thought so, and were even more afraid of him than she was.
Because of Wei Mubai, she enjoyed the treatment of Wei Muheng like a family member, so she felt that he was profound and unfathomable, rather than terrifying and harmful.
Her generous act of giving the Dao Fa Ling Guo as a gift made Wei Muheng treat her the same as Wei Muyan, and be gentle and tolerant to her as if she were his own sister.
Otherwise, if Wei Muheng was really displeased with her reckless investigation, the consequences would be quite terrible.
Anyway, everyone else was in complete awe of Wei Muheng, and no one dared to casually investigate his cultivation level or even his injuries.
Xu Hui didn't know about this. After giving the gift, her mind was focused on the stage below the stage.
The arena is divided into two parts with the high platform as the center, and the right side is where the aristocratic families fight.
Before, in order to find Taoist spiritual plants, all Mahayana cultivators were mobilized to plow the entire secret realm, explore all the forbidden areas, and divide them into different levels according to the degree of danger and resource richness.
The forbidden area is divided into levels one to six, corresponding to the Qi Refining Stage to the Mahayana Stage respectively.
After Wei Mubai and others came out, they did not keep anything to themselves. They drew a detailed map and handed it over to the major families to take over management. The specific distribution plan was decided through fighting between the families.
Every family, sect, and power can sign up to participate. The competition is mainly based on team competition, with two-on-two competition system. The winner advances until the ranking is determined.
From top to bottom, the first person can be the first to choose one to three forbidden areas they want, any choice is fine.
But there are restrictions. If it is a level six forbidden area, you can only choose one, level five allows two, and levels one to four allow three each.
After all, level six forbidden areas are rare, and you can’t be the first to select them all, which will not leave any benefits for the forces behind you. Being able to select first is already a great opportunity.
As for the people in the team, there were direct regulations: one in the Spirit Severing stage, two in the Out-of-Body stage, ten in the Nascent Soul stage, twenty in the Golden Core stage, fifty in the Foundation Establishment stage, and one hundred in the Qi Refining stage!
That’s right, without the Mahayana stage, they can move mountains and fill the sea at will, but the arena can’t withstand it, so they are simply not used. They are just there to keep the place in check.
As for the interests of the Mahayana cultivators, six forbidden areas with the best resources and the highest risk factors have been divided out as their territories for exploration and plunder. Only Mahayana cultivators can enter, and anyone else who enters will die.
In addition, due to the saving contributions of Xu Hui and others, they were given five additional places in the forbidden area, which were divided according to their families: the Wei family, the Mu family, the Lei family and the Wan family.
But since the Wan family only sent Wan Moxiao, her family only took three, and the remaining two were awarded to Xu Hui, as Xu Hui's private property, because she had the greatest contribution, and Wei Muheng also had a contribution there.
He gave it up directly, and Xu Hui took over the entire place.
There was another one belonging to Wei Yuan. His contribution was neither big nor small, but as a member of the savior group, an outsider, and a Mahayana cultivator, he was also assigned one.
It is naturally impossible to let them choose these twenty resource points by themselves. They have to be selected in advance. We cannot wait until all forces have fought for them before arranging them. After all, it is a great contribution to saving the world and the entire cultivation world.
Therefore, the forbidden areas of levels four to six were listed, and then blindly drawn. What they drew depended on their luck.
However, the decision can only be made by drawing lots after the competition is over and Wei Mubai and others come out of seclusion.
Anyway, with the Wei family around, she won't suffer any loss.
Although the battle on the right was exciting and dazzling, Xu Hui still focused her attention on the left.
On the left is a personal battle, fighting for one's own honor and interests.
At present, all the situations in the secret realm are clear, and they do not need to make efforts to explore. However, it is impossible for the aristocratic families to occupy all the resources and leave no benefits to individuals, but they cannot distribute the resources to them for free either.
Therefore, the best way is to compete based on strength.
For the sake of fairness and safety, each realm is a separate arena. For example, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can only compete with cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. If the cultivator wins and gets first place, he can be the first to choose to enter three first-level forbidden areas. What resources he can obtain depends entirely on himself.
The second and third place winners are ranked in the back order. The lower the ranking, the later they will enter the forbidden area. If they cannot get good resources, they can only blame their own lack of strength.
The first-level forbidden area is suitable for the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. Both the danger and resources there are about this level.
After entering, you will be responsible for your own safety. If a Qi Refining cultivator encounters a Foundation Establishment monster and dies as a result, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough and not having good equipment, and you cannot blame anyone else.
Of course, if you are at the back of the queue, the powerful monsters will be eliminated by those who entered earlier, and your safety will be increased, but the resources you can get will be greatly reduced.
As for whether you will be overshadowed by the person in front of you, it depends on your luck.
Anyway, each person only has half a month to one month to go in. The area is so big that if the people in front of you can get away with it, you can only blame your bad luck for choosing the wrong forbidden area.
After all, there are more than a hundred first-level forbidden areas, and that person can only choose one to three. You still met him, so who can you blame for not getting anything?
The first-level forbidden area contains resources suitable for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and also has the same degree of danger, making it suitable for cultivators of the same level.
The second-level forbidden area is suitable for the foundation-building stage and the golden elixir stage, and so on.
During the Qi Refining Stage, only the first-level forbidden area can be chosen, while during the Foundation Establishment Stage, either the first or the second level can be chosen. Anyway, the resources inside have been roughly announced, and the aristocratic families have not kept anything secret.
Of course, these are the most widely available resources. As for those extremely precious hidden items, it depends on the luck of the monks.
For example, in the Level 1 Rainbow Pine Forbidden Area, a large area of rainbow pine was planted. This is a Level 1 spiritual plant and it is not difficult to pick it.
But among a large area of first-level rainbow pines, there are long-tailed squirrels in the foundation-building stage. Although there are not many of them, if you can encounter them and have the ability to catch them, they will be a considerable fortune.
The long-tailed squirrel knows thousands of animal languages, including those of squirrels, birds, beasts, insects, etc. It can communicate with almost most animals in the forest.
Contracting a long-tailed squirrel is equivalent to obtaining a master of animal language. You can obtain countless information in the forest, which is definitely a powerful weapon for exploration and searching for resources.
However, they are rare and have a very short lifespan. If they have little communication with other animals, they can live for ten years. If they communicate more, their lifespan will drop sharply.
But no matter what, these are rare species and are very valuable. They are just difficult to encounter and even more difficult to catch.
Hidden items like this can be found in many forbidden areas. The noble families do not intend to snatch them all, but rather leave them for the monks as personal opportunities.
Of course, there is no limit on the number of people in the individual competition. No matter if you are from an aristocratic family or a casual cultivator, everyone can participate. After all, the resources you fight for belong to you and do not need to be handed over to the family. Whether you can grab them depends entirely on your own ability.
Anyway, dividing the competition in the arena according to the level of cultivation is relatively fair. If a casual cultivator cannot compare with the children of aristocratic families for various reasons, such as lack of external conditions such as magic weapons and talismans, then he can only blame himself for his bad luck.
At least there are clear regulations that items beyond the Qi Refining stage are not allowed in the Qi Refining stage arena.
In this way, they still lost in terms of equipment, and entering the forbidden area is also dangerous. After all, there is a crisis in the foundation-building period inside.
Therefore, fairness is only relative. At least on the surface, it is acceptable. After all, every cultivator is given a chance, rather than the aristocratic families taking charge and having the final say.
Compared with the calm and cautious style of the family competition, the individual competition is more interesting.
But what really attracted Xu Hui's attention was an unexpected figure - Yi Qingxue.
She suddenly appeared in the Nascent Soul Stage individual competition.
In such a short period of time, Yi Qingxue's cultivation level improved so quickly. She must have gained a great opportunity in the secret realm.
However, when Xu Hui saw her, a strong sense of unease surged in her heart.
She keenly sensed that the evil spirit around Yi Qingxue had become unusually strong.
Although the wooden comb carrying evil spirits is extremely powerful, its growth rate is definitely not so astonishing, otherwise Wei Mubai would not have left it alone for the time being. It must be that Yi Qingxue did something.
The growth of evil spirits is often accompanied by the spread of various negative states and emotions such as panic, uneasiness, anxiety, fear, and confusion.
Xu Hui's heart trembled. What on earth did Yi Qingxue do?
