Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 57: Mirror of Ten Thousand Ghosts

During the Little Ghost Hall competition, there were many arenas, and multiple matches were held simultaneously, often resulting in quick victories or defeats.

Among them, those with three spiritual roots, or those with Qi Refining cultivation at the third level or above, who failed, were given an additional chance to compete.

Of course, this was based on the condition that they did not die after the first battle and still had the strength to fight.

After the first round of matches ended, about half of the preparatory disciples survived, but their battles were not over because there was a second round of competition.

Liang Xiao saw that there was no time reserved for rest or recovery. Immediately, outer disciples stepped forward and distributed bamboo sticks from bamboo tubes.

The winners of the first round, as well as a few losers, stepped onto the arena again to fight for victory and survival.

Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level and the better the Law Weapon in the hands of the preparatory disciples, the higher their chances of winning. Next were disciples with solid basic skills and ruthless tactics, who could also stand out in battle.

The most miserable were those who neglected their cultivation, had ordinary aptitude, and were only enthusiastic about seeking protection from the strong. They were the first to pay the price with their blood.

Soon, after about an hour, this year's Little Ghost Hall competition finally came to an end.

On the stone arenas, bloodstains were scattered, emitting a strong smell of blood, attracting buzzing flies.

Among the preparatory disciples who stepped into the threshold of outer disciples, less than a quarter of them remained. They were immediately given the black robes of outer disciples and identity jade plaques.

The rest were either mine slaves or materials.

The faces of the mine slaves had already been branded with the mark of slavery and locked with iron chains. Some of them were still unconscious from serious injuries, while others had a lifeless expression, unwilling to face their miserable fate.

As for the materials, they were easier to manage. They were piled up like goods, waiting to be transported to the mass graves later.

Liang Xiao also descended from the observation platform and selected several attendants from this group of new disciples whom he thought were suitable.

Among them were Ding Fu, whom he had met before, the Lu sisters, and a silent male disciple who had reached the peak of Yin Demon Claw. His combat talent was among the top three winners of this competition, named Pang Yuan.

Apart from Ding Fu, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, the Lu sisters and Pang Yuan were all at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The Lu sisters had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, probably with the help of some elixirs, but their aura was still somewhat unstable.

After two rounds of bloody battles, they were not unscathed, especially Ding Fu, who had the lowest cultivation level. His body was covered in blood, both his own and his opponents', as if he had rolled out of a pool of blood.

It is worth mentioning that Qi Meng also became one of the winners in the second round of the Little Ghost Hall competition.

This was somewhat unbelievable because he didn't have a suitable Law Weapon and his cultivation had stagnated for half a year. He won the second round in a very miserable state.

Although Liang Xiao didn't look at him more, Qi Meng staggered towards this side.

Ding Fu, with keen eyes, immediately stood in front of Qi Meng with a mocking expression and said, "Qi Meng, I didn't expect you to become an outer disciple, but are you looking for death so soon?"

However, Qi Meng didn't even look at Ding Fu. Although the latter was tall and strong, he was still much shorter than the giant bear-like Qi Meng.

"Liang Xiao senior brother, you defeated me half a year ago and now you have become an inner disciple. I, Qi Meng, admire strong people like you very much!"

"I said I would show you my sincerity. If possible, I want to become your attendant!"

After Qi Meng finished speaking, he took out a brocade box from his storage bag and presented it with both hands.

Ding Fu slightly turned his head and looked at Liang Xiao for guidance. When he saw Liang Xiao nod slightly, he snorted and took the brocade box, handing it to Liang Xiao.

This brocade box looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen the patterns on it somewhere.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and opened the brocade box, only to see a piece of ancient and simple bronze plate wrapped in silk. This instantly made him realize that he had obtained a similar piece from Qi Yunkai half a year ago!

Later, he had too many treasures, and this bronze piece had already been thrown into a corner of the Law Weapon space.

However, the piece Qi Meng brought was bigger than the previous one. Liang Xiao took out two bronze pieces and joined them together, narrowing his eyes.

"This really surprised me. This thing is not ordinary. It is the method of refining a Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon, just like the Hundred Beauties Picture I encountered in Yan Country before."

On the intact bronze piece in Liang Xiao's hand, there appeared an ancient mirror-like pattern and its name, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Treasure Mirror.

Seeing that Liang Xiao's expression was different, Qi Meng's heart rejoiced and added, "This bronze piece is not an ordinary object. It comes from a dangerous ancient Cave Mansion in Qi Country and records the method of refining a certain powerful Law Weapon."

"I come from the General's Mansion in Qi Country, and Qi Yunkai is a descendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion. We both come from noble families in Qi Country and have considerable influence in the mortal realm. Therefore, we mobilized a large army and paid a huge price to bring out some treasures from inside."

"Half a year ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion obtained the first bronze piece, and Qi Yunkai was preparing to present it to the core disciple behind him, but you took it away. Half a year later, the General's Mansion obtained the second bronze piece, which I happened to offer under certain circumstances."

"It can be seen, Senior Brother Liang Xiao, that you have a strong affinity with this treasure. If you can refine it, you will definitely become even more powerful!"

After Qi Meng finished introducing the origin of this bronze piece, he stood silently by the side.

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment. In fact, he didn't have a deep grudge with Qi Meng, and with the latter's straightforward and eager-to-improve nature, it was unlikely that he was here as a spy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given away the method of refining a Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon. It should be noted that the bronze piece Qi Meng gave was already quite large, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was not an ordinary Law Weapon. Giving it to an opponent would be aiding the enemy.

"Qi Meng, from now on, you will help me manage the Spirit Field in the inner sect!"

In the end, Liang Xiao nodded and agreed to Qi Meng's request. Qi Meng was overjoyed and nodded in response.

With the matters of the outer sect settled and all the positions for attendants filled, Liang Xiao was about to take out the Bone Boat and leave when he was suddenly stopped by someone. The voice sounded familiar.

"Liang Senior Brother, it's me, Liang Hao. You saved me half a year ago. Please let me become your attendant. Don't let me become a mine slave. I will serve you like I serve my own grandfather!"

On the ground, a defeated male disciple, with a fearful and timid expression, had the mark of the Myriad Demons Cave branded on his face. It was indeed Liang Hao.

This person had directly caused the conflict between Liang Xiao and Qi Yunkai and Qi Meng half a year ago, and took the opportunity to escape. It was very unscrupulous.

Unexpectedly, in this competition, although he managed to save his life, he ended up as a mine slave. His future life would be worse than death.

Because it was only a step away from being thrown into the corpse pit and turned into a zombie.

"No, I don't want to be a mine slave, and I don't want to be thrown into the corpse pit!"

"Liang Senior Brother, please, spare me. I didn't mean to offend you, and I have dual spiritual roots. I still have potential. I'm willing to sell myself as a slave, just please save my life!"

Qi Yunkai also woke up from his severe injuries and heard Liang Hao's voice. He immediately saw a glimmer of hope.

As long as he could become an attendant to an inner sect disciple, he could escape the fate of being a mine slave.

Liang Xiao listened to the pleas of these two people without much emotion. He just turned to his five subordinates and said, "I don't like these two. I don't want to see them again in the future. This is the first thing I'm ordering you. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Liang Xiao boarded the Bone Boat without any nostalgia and quickly left.

"No! No!!"

On the ground, Liang Hao and Qi Yunkai looked at the five newly promoted outer sect disciples with fear, as they coldly surrounded them.

The other outer sect disciples ignored them and left indifferently, including some veteran outer sect disciples.

Next, the props for the next instance, get.
