Chapter 53: Foresight and Long-term Planning The third place in this Tianjiao Competition is...
The third place in this Tianjiao Competition is Lei Xiao, who defeated a total of 120 people.
Yi Qingxue is only one person less than him. Considering that Lei Xiao has the "Soul Art", she can basically keep up with him, which is already very remarkable!
At least the fifth place has sixteen fewer people than her!
This person is the independent cultivator Ni Wenzhen, a very powerful warrior, as indestructible as a mountain!
He followed the path of dual cultivation of magic and physical cultivation. Just relying on his strong body, he could beat people to a pulp.
But he himself is not a person with strong muscles, but his muscles and bones are full of explosive power. It seems that every bone is exerting force, and when they come together, they burst out with the ability to shake mountains.
Therefore, his competition arena is the most exciting to watch. The punches he delivered were full of violent aesthetics and had extreme tension.
After seeing countless brilliant magical attacks and earth-shattering sword moves, this simple yet exciting attack method can really stir people's hormones, making people unable to help but shout and cheer, and cheer for him excitedly!
When Xu Hui was watching Wei Mubai's game, she couldn't help but be distracted several times and just watched his game.
This... is an opponent worthy of respect, and we must fight him with 100% of our ability!
But Xu Hui didn’t understand one thing. Physical cultivation requires a lot of resources, right?
How did a casual cultivator do it?
Before, Xu Hui cleansed her tendons and marrow, using a lot of precious resources to make her physique more perfect.
But this kind of intensity cannot be compared with the effect that physical cultivation wants to achieve. The difference is simply one to ten thousand.
In other words, if Ni Wen really wanted to achieve this level, he could shake the mountains with one punch and shock the world!
The resources consumed must be an astronomical figure!
But he is a casual cultivator!
It’s not that Xu Hui looks down on independent cultivators, but the rules of the Independent Cultivators Alliance are there. It is impossible to allocate more resources to him. He would not be able to achieve his current strength if he relied on himself.
Ni Wenzhen is only 36 years old, still very, very young.
Don't look at Wei Mubai and Mu Yuan as being so powerful in their twenties. They are from aristocratic families and are direct descendants of the family. They have received unimaginable resources before they were born.
Ni Wenzhen is just a casual cultivator, unless he has powerful parents!
This is not impossible. Xu Hui thought about it and realized that there are also cultivators above the level of Venerable among the wandering cultivators. Maybe he is their child!
Thinking this way, she stopped worrying about it.
The competition is over and it's time to distribute the rewards.
This is very simple. Divide all the rewards into two equal parts according to their value, and let Mu Yuan choose first.
The rewards are rich and varied, including magic tools, talismans, formation plates, elixirs, spiritual plants, as well as some rare resources. There are also items that are unique in the entire cultivation world.
According to what Master Wen said just now, no matter which pile it is, it is worth more than one million high-grade spirit stones, which shows how rich it is!
These resources can fully support a medium-sized family, but now, they all belong to Mu Yuan alone!
Xu Hui saw the Soul Condensing Stone in the pile on the left and couldn't help but look at Wei Mubai. She wondered what he was planning. What should he do if Mu Yuan chose the pile with the Soul Condensing Stone?
However, Wei Mubai stood there calmly, took a quick glance, and then looked away, his gaze still firm.
Yes, he was sure that Mu Yuan would choose the other one.
Because in that pile, there was a sixth-level Earth Spirit Pill, which he specially sent before the competition. He only made one request, that it could not be placed together with the Soul Condensing Stone as a reward.
The Soul Condensing Stone is not precious, it is just rare.
Its function is to draw out the inner demons, but to truly get rid of the inner demons, you either have to rely on your own understanding or Buddhist practitioners to help you transcend them.
This requires a lot of Buddhist cultivation. Why should others help you for no reason?
And if you are well prepared, it is not that difficult to overcome your inner demons, but after you extradite them, the difficulty increases several times.
So no one would do this unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, the effect of the Soul Condensing Stone was really limited. It was rare but not precious!
But the Earth Spirit Pill is different. It is a high-level pill that can protect cultivators from being injured when consuming strange fire. It is very difficult to refine and many medicinal materials are hard to find.
Sixth-grade alchemists are rare, and the probability of successful alchemy is low. In addition, the Earth Spirit Pill is not that practical. Not everyone has the opportunity to obtain the strange fire and needs the strange fire.
But Mu Yuan is different. He is a genius weapon refiner. Refining weapons, like refining pills, requires strange fire.
The Mu family spent several years and finally found a kind of strange fire that was most suitable for Mu Yuan, which greatly promoted his refining skills.
But this strange fire is very powerful and can cause injury if one is not careful, so Mu Yuan needs the Earth Spirit Pill.
Given his family background, it was not difficult for him to find a suitable alchemist, and he had also collected some medicinal materials for refining the Earth Spirit Pill, but the probability of success could not be guaranteed.
Now that there were finished products among the rewards, he chose this pile of rewards without hesitation.
To him, both sides are of equal value, and the Earth Spirit Pill is what he urgently needs right now. Is there any need to think about which one to choose?
As for Master Wen, the Soul-Condensing Stone and the Earth Spirit Pill are not items of the same caliber. The reward includes an extra sixth-level elixir that is suitable for the winner's needs. It will simply add luster to the Wen family's hosting of this event. How could he possibly refuse?
No contestant actually needed the Soul Stone anyway, so the request to separate the two was trivial.
The first place has been chosen, and now it is the turn of the second place, Wei Mubai.
Among the remaining rewards, Master Wen divided them into two piles of equal value. Wei Mubai chose the one with the Soul Condensing Stone.
Master Wen continued to divide it into two parts. Wei Mubai chose first and took the pile with the Soul Condensing Stone.
The remaining pile belongs to the third place Lei Xiao.
The remaining rewards were divided into seven parts, and Yi Qingxue would choose first.
Although her reward didn't seem to be much, not as much as Mu Yuan and others, Xu Hui noticed that a glimmer of ecstasy flashed in her eyes after she got the thing.
Obviously, among that pile of rewards, there were things that she really needed or were very valuable.
This can only mean that her luck is too good. Even if she gives away three quarters, she can still get what she wants. The heroine is worthy of being the heroine. She always gets the best, at least for her!
The rewards were quickly distributed and the Tianjiao Competition officially ended, leaving everyone feeling unsatisfied.
I think the topic of the next year will all be this competition. There are countless things to talk about, whether it is the exciting competition or the emergence of brilliant talents, they can all be talked about for a long time.
Xu Hui followed Wei Mubai back to the Wei family residence, planning to pack up and go back to the Wei family's immortal palace for seclusion.
Her realm needs to be stabilized. She needs to practice, plant spiritual plants, and study planting arrays. She is very busy and cannot delay.
But before that, she needs to wait for the Golden Lotus of Illuminating the World. With the help of the lotus seeds of tranquility, she will surely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing.
Liaochen is worthy of being a son of Buddha and a great monk of Buddhism, and it soon solidified.
Wei Mubai practiced it for a while and then asked her to hang it around her neck and not take it off unless necessary.
To be honest, Xu Hui is quite rare. Holding the golden lotus seeds in your hands makes you feel refreshed and clear-minded. It is indeed a good thing.
Without saying a word, she took it with her. All the fatigue from watching the ring matches for several days and nights disappeared, and she couldn't help but give Lu Chen a thumbs up.
After getting the Soul-Condensing Stone and various elixirs provided by Wei Mubai, Lechen left satisfied.
After he left, an unexpected visitor came to the Wei family residence!
When Xu Hui saw it, she thought she was seeing things. It turned out to be the casual cultivator Ni Wenzhen.
Did he come to the Wei family to ask for elixirs? This was the purpose of most people visiting the Wei family.
But he really isn't!
He went straight to find Wei Muheng. Not long after he was brought in, Wei Muheng sent someone to invite her and Wei Mubai over.
When the two arrived at the reception room, they saw Wei Muheng sitting at the top and Ni Wenzhen standing respectfully below.
What is this for? Xu Hui was slightly puzzled.
Wei Mubai had no doubts at all and sat down at his seat. Xu Hui followed suit.
Wei Muheng nodded slightly at Ni Wenzhen, "From today on, you will be Mu Bai and Xu Hui's bodyguard for a hundred years!"
"Yes!" Ni Wenzhen clasped his fists and saluted them.
Xu Hui opened her eyes wide, so, this casual cultivator Ni Wenzhen was trained by Wei Muheng?
Understanding her confusion, Wei Muheng explained, "Wen Zhen is an orphan. When I met him, he was only five years old. Seeing that he was a natural for physical cultivation, I originally wanted to bring him back to the Wei family to cultivate. However, his parents had received favors from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and he wanted to repay the favor. So I made a deal with him. I would provide him with physical cultivation techniques and resources. After he reached the Golden Core stage, he would protect one person for me for two hundred years. Now that there's one more person, I'll change it to a hundred years."
By this calculation, Ni Wenzhen actually made a profit. After all, Xu Hui was inseparable from Wei Mubai most of the time, and there was no difference between guarding two people and guarding one person.
Of course, it is probably because Wei Muheng took into account the extent of Xu Hui's troubles and felt guilty, thinking that exploiting Ni Wenzhen for a hundred years was enough, so he deliberately reduced the amount.
However, Xu Hui naturally didn't know this. She was just amazed at Wei Muheng's foresight, as he had started planning before Wei Mubai was even born.
Or maybe it wasn't just because of Wei Mubai, who didn't exist at that time, there were other younger generations in the Wei family.
All in all, Ni Wen is a good seedling, and it will be worthwhile to cultivate him.
Coming out of the reception room, Xu Hui quietly asked Wei Mubai, "You should have more than one guard, right?"
The strength of the two is not much different. No, Ni Wenzhen is actually not as good as Wei Mubai. How can he protect him?
In the final analysis, rather than being guards, it would be more accurate to say that they are trained fighting subordinates.
It is estimated that after a hundred years, Ni Wenzhen would have been conquered by Wei Mubai and would never leave, willingly being commanded by him.
Wei Mubai smiled slightly and patted her head, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"
