Seeking Immortality

"Junior Brother Xu, you are finally here."

Seeing Xu Qingfan Yu Yun flying towards the main stage, Lu Qingshang stood up first and said with a smile.

As Lu Qingshang stood up, the other elders also stood up to greet Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan looked around and found that all the new elders in Jiuhua Mountain, except Feng Qingtian, had arrived. And with Feng Qingtian's character, even though the internal competition is considered a major event in Jiuhua, he probably won't come.

But I don’t know at what time, the elders of Jiuhua Mountain were divided into two groups. The elders of the "Hua" generation were in one group. They usually surrounded Zhang Hualing and Gongsun Huasuo, while the "Qing" generation and the "Yu" generation were in one group. The elders of the generation are also in their own sect, and they are vaguely named Xu Qingfan, although Xu Qingfan rarely shows up.

After Xu Qingfan looked at the surrounding environment, he asked with a smile: "What? Am I late?"

Lu Qingshang smiled and said: "We are not late, but we came earlier. We have been practicing hard in seclusion all year round, and it is rare to get together. This time we finally found an excuse. We wanted to get together for a while, but you came. So late."

Xu Qingfan laughed and said, "It's my fault."

Dongfang Qingling, who was just listening quietly, suddenly pointed behind Xu Qingfan and said with a chuckle: "Senior Brother Xu, your niece is very popular."

Hearing Dongfang Qingling's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled. When he turned around, he saw male disciples from Jiuhua who had the courage to walk up to Ting'er and strike up a conversation. However, Ting'er's expression was as cold as ever, and she was really dead when they met her. Stalking means walking away with a cold face, even so. However, there are still male disciples who are walking towards Ting'er eagerly.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Qingfan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Jin Qinghan just snorted coldly. He must be despising these male disciples in his heart at this time.

Looking at the smiling Dongfang Qingling, Xu Qingfan's heart suddenly moved, and then he said something to Dongfang Qingling.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Dongfang Qingling smiled and nodded, and then said something to the group of Jiuhua female disciples who were gathering in the distance. Not long after, I saw the group of female disciples walking in the direction of Ting'er. When they came to Ting'er, they first drove away the flies surrounding Ting'er without thinking about anything, and then took Ting'er away. Children were surrounded by them, constantly asking something.

It seemed that Ting'er had never seen so many girls before, and her eyes were full of surprise when she saw this group of women taking the initiative to make friends with her. It can be seen that Dongfang Qingling's group of sisters are very curious about Ting'er, and they are constantly asking questions. Originally Ting'er was silent, but when this group of "sparrow"-like species asked questions one after another, she occasionally answered one or two sentences. Gradually, I seemed to accept the same-sex friends around me. At least it feels more comfortable than being hit on by the opposite sex one after another just now.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Qingfan felt a little relieved, and he was even more relieved to see that although Ting'er was a little overwhelmed surrounded by so many people, she didn't seem to be rejecting her. She smiled gratefully at Dongfang Qingling and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Dongfang."

Dongfang Qingling smiled and said: "It's nothing. I also think Ting'er's character is a bit too withdrawn. You usually protect her so tightly and don't let her leave your cave at all, otherwise I would have introduced some senior sisters. Get to know her."

Xu Qingfan was about to say something, but Lu Qingshang suddenly said with a serious face: "It seems that the first place in this internal competition is Ting'er."

Hearing what Lu Qingshang said, Xu Qingfan thought that Lu Qingshang had seen Ting'er's strength, and said: "Though Ting'er is pretty good, but who knows if there is any disciple who has been in seclusion but is strong? Such a thing .”

But seeing that Lu Qingshang's face was still serious, he shook his head and said: "You underestimate Ting'er too much. Not to mention those Jiuhua disciples, even I can only defend her in a fight with her."

Hearing what Lu Qingshang said, everyone on the court was shocked and looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

However, Lu Qingshang paused for a moment and then said seriously: "With Ting'er's appearance, if I were to fight her, my heart must be filled with compassion and pity for her. How could I make up my mind to take action? Naturally, I can only hold on to my defense. . Not to mention the other disciples, it will be good if they can walk by then."

At this time, his master, Elder Hou, had recovered from his injuries and resumed his duties as the elder of Jiuhua Mountain Guard. Lu Qingshang was also cute and joked to everyone again, although the joke was a bit minor.

Hearing what Lu Qingshang said, they knew that he was teasing everyone, and everyone couldn't help laughing and scolding. Xu Qingfan even smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Xu, pay attention to your identity, you are Ting'er's uncle."

Xu Qingfan knew that Lu Qingshang's nature was like this, so when he heard Lu Qingshang making fun of Ting'er like this, he was annoyed, but he couldn't be serious and felt helpless.

Just when everyone was denouncing Lu Qingshang, they suddenly felt dozens of extremely powerful auras suddenly appearing from afar. At the same time, bursts of fairy music sounded between heaven and earth, and countless dazzling rays of light emerged from the sky. In the rays of light, Zhang Hualing He and Gongsun Huasuo led a kind of "Hua" elders, stepping on the auspicious clouds, flying towards the main stage.

Seeing such a posture, Xu Qingfan secretly sighed in his heart. Even though everyone in his group had reached the pill formation stage, the momentum alone was still far inferior to that of these senior elders.

While Xu Qingfan was thinking secretly, Zhang Hualing and a group of elders had lowered their clouds and came to the main stage. After that, all the disciples saluted, but Zhang Hualing didn't mention it for the time being.

After Zhang Hualing encouraged the disciples who were participating in the sect competition, he said, "Next, let the deacon elder Xu Qingfan announce the arrangements for this sect competition and the rewards for the top five."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan bowed slightly to Zhang Hualing, then raised his voice and said to the disciples below the stage, "This sect competition is the same as before. There are 16 arenas, and every eight disciples compete on one arena. Only one disciple from each arena can qualify for the semi-finals."

Speaking of this, Xu Qingfan paused and said, "In addition. In order to motivate all disciples, the rewards for this sect competition are richer than before. As long as you can qualify from your respective arena, you can get 100 The reward of spirit stones. If you enter the top eight, you can get a reward of 200 spirit stones. In addition, the rewards for the top five are as follows. The reward for the fifth-place disciple is a demon egg of a human-level intermediate demon beast, the white-headed eagle, and the fourth-place disciple will receive a bottle of Nalingdan. The third-place disciple will receive a human-level high-level magic weapon, Bairen, and the second-place disciple will receive a human-level high-level magic weapon, Baipa Staff. As for the reward for the first place, it is the rare treasure, Huanlingzhu. "

When Xu Qingfan announced all this, he sat back in his seat calmly, but left the audience with a burst of uproar. Even the Jiuhua elders showed surprise on their faces, but they didn't expect that the rewards for this internal competition would be so precious.

The rewards for the second to fifth places are easy to say. They are nothing more than some human-level magic weapons, demon beast eggs and spirit pills. But the reward "Huanlingzhu" for the first place is extraordinary. This magic weapon is very useful even for some elders present. Although the "Slow Spirit Pearl" is naturally formed in nature, it has various characteristics of magic weapons. It can only be used after it is refined. It also requires cultivators to replenish spiritual energy into it regularly. Throwing it to attack is like a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds, which is extremely powerful.

But the greatest effect of this "Slow Spirit Pearl" is not attacking, but it allows the cultivator to circulate the spiritual energy in the body more freely, and can reduce the threat of the cultivator going astray, which can be said to be very valuable.

In fact. Xu Qingfan gave the "Slow Spirit Pearl" to the first place this time for selfish reasons. Because according to Xu Qingfan's observation, there were no geniuses like Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian in this internal competition. Even geniuses of the level of Lu Qingshang and Dongfang Qingling are very rare, so with Ting'er's strength, it is almost no difficulty to win the championship.

When Xu Qingfan was looking up the Qingjian that recorded the information of the Jiuhua Secret Library, he found that there was a treasure like "Slow Spirit Pearl" in the first layer of the secret library. He immediately classified it as the reward for the first place in this internal competition without hesitation.

As far as Xu Qingfan knows. The biggest feature of the "Slow Spirit Pearl" lies in the word "slow". As long as it is worn on the body, the circulation of spiritual energy in the body of the cultivator will become slower than usual. But the growth of power is not reduced at all. And this feature is most useful for Ting'er's situation.

Because Ting'er's body has been transformed by the magic pearl, there are a lot of magic energy everywhere in her meridians and dantian. Every time the spiritual energy cultivated by Ting'er circulates in her body, the magic in the spiritual energy will increase a little. Once this "Slow Spirit Pearl" is in hand, its characteristics will greatly reduce the possible crises that Ting'er may encounter in the future, at least the magic energy contained in the fire method she cultivates can be reduced a lot.

Speaking of the audience, after listening to Xu Qingfan's announcement, there was an uproar, and it was obvious that they were all stunned by the richness and preciousness of the rewards for this internal competition. Then they were collectively full of enthusiasm, rubbing their fists, and vowed to do a great job in this internal competition.

Then, Zhang Hualing announced the start of the internal competition. Just like sixty years ago, sixteen stone platforms suddenly appeared in the open space of the square, and then sixteen elders flew to the stone platforms as referees. Then, each disciple walked onto the stone platforms to show off his skills. For a while, the sixteen stone platforms were full of golden light, rolling waves, and spiritual energy fluctuations, which was very lively.

And Ting'er was assigned to the tenth stone platform. According to Xu Qingfan's understanding, there was no powerful person on this stone platform.

Because Ting'er's competition had not started yet, Xu Qingfan just watched the competitions on each stage leisurely. The fact was just as Xu Qingfan guessed. After these years of hard training in the mountains, the strength of the disciples was higher than that of Xu Qingfan's class, but there was no genius like Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian.

After watching for a while, he suddenly noticed that Jin Qinghan next to him suddenly closed his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Junior Brother Jin, what's wrong? Are you not interested?" Jin Qinghan said lightly: "It's okay, it's exciting enough, but it's not very exciting."

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly. This time the internal competition really lacked the kind of people who could make people's eyes shine.

Then, Xu Qingfan began to discuss the issue of cultivating immortals with Jin Qinghan. Jin Qinghan was extremely talented and practiced diligently. At this time, he had reached the late stage of virtual pill. Even if he was only a hair's breadth away from the real pill stage, Xu Qingfan estimated that in the next two years, Jin Qinghan would break through.

After a conversation, Jin Qinghan's realm was higher, and Xu Qingfan's practice was more peculiar, so both of them felt that they had gained a lot. Later, Lu Qingshang, Li Yuhan and others also participated in it, which also indirectly showed that there was nothing attractive about this internal competition.

Just as everyone was talking about sex, Lu Qingshang suddenly asked Xu Qingfan: "What's wrong? Brother Xu, aren't you worried?"

Xu Qingfan asked: "What is there to worry about?"

Lü Qingshang said with a smile: "This matter has spread among us. This internal competition is also to test the effectiveness of our three academies. If we fail, the three academies will not be our responsibility."

After hearing what Lü Qingshang said, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood that these words were probably spread by Gongsun Huasu so that Xu Qingfan would have no way out after losing. However, he did not care and just smiled and asked: "I have been busy practicing these years. You know the three academies better than me. Especially those spiritual silence period disciples in Tianyuan, many of them are considered half of your disciples. Don't you have any confidence in them?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone smiled slightly. Only everyone knows how much effort everyone has put in the three academies over the years. In fact, those talented disciples in the three academies have a very close relationship with everyone. In addition, some disciples in the three academies had good skills and cultivation before their master died, so everyone is quite confident in this assessment.

At this time, Dongfang Qingling suddenly pointed to the No. 10 ring and said, "Ting'er is on the stage."
