Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 114 Old Friends Meet

According to the sect's regulations, the disciples who enter the top ten of the Grand Competition will be rewarded with a precious Foundation Establishment Pill, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the qualification to enter the Ozawa Realm.

Ozawa Realm is one of the Xiaoyao Sect's secret realms, and there are many treasures of heaven and earth growing in it, and only disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter.

As for the remaining 40 people, as an encouragement, the Zongmen will reward them with a top-grade spiritual weapon and a bottle of top-grade vitality pill.

It's just that compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the best spiritual weapon, and the qualification to enter the Ozawa Realm, these rewards are obviously very average.

Xu Chunniang was sitting in the stands, today is the eighth day of the contest.

There are more than 5000 disciples in Lien Chan until today, and only 100 are left.

After today, these 100 people will be halved again, and the remaining 50 people will be eligible to participate in tomorrow's finals for the final competition.

The current competition is much more exciting than when it first started.

Those who can reach this step among thousands of outer disciples are all people with extraordinary strength.

The battle between them is dazzling and yearning.

There are also some famous outer disciples who easily crushed their opponents all the way, and their performances were amazing, attracting everyone's attention.

"Senior Brother Murong has won consecutive victories all the way. Facing every opponent, he won very easily. I really want to see his true strength."

"The same is true for Senior Sister Xiao Shuang and Senior Brother Gu Feng. They are among the most powerful group of outer disciples. They don't need to exert their full strength until the final round."

"I heard that when Senior Sister Xiao Shuang was a new disciple, she refused the invitation of three inner disciples, and would rather practice hard in the outer sect alone."

"Senior Brother Gu Feng also once rejected the invitation of two inner disciples. At that time, many people didn't think highly of him at all, thinking that he would regret it in the future. But he found another way, he cultivated both physical and mental skills, and it was rare to meet an opponent in the outer sect."

"Sister Xiao Shuang and Senior Brother Gu Feng are the arrogances of the outer sect, even if they reject the recruitment of the inner sect disciples, there will always be a day to rise. It's a pity that we don't have as good talent and understanding as them."

Hearing the discussions and envy of the surrounding disciples, Xu Chunniang knew that two of the three most popular disciples among the top ten in this competition had rejected the invitation of inner disciples.

But relying on their own efforts, the two of them reached the current step with a crushing attitude, and they are very likely to become the top ten in this big competition, and thus get the Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully build the foundation and enter the inner sect.

Xu Chunniang's eyes showed bright colors. If the two of them can do it, she can definitely do it!
Today's competition only has fifty rounds, ten rounds at the same time each time.But at noon, the fifty matches were quickly finished, and there was a result.

Not surprisingly, Murong, Xiao Shuang, and Gu Feng were among the remaining 50 people.

Xu Chunniang got up, ready to go back.

Watching the high-intensity competition for eight consecutive days gave her an understanding of the strength of the entire Xiaoyao Sect's outer sect disciples, and understood what kind of strength is needed to become the top ten in the outer sect competition.

Xu Chunniang didn't plan to watch the next finals.

She has watched enough competitions, and she is not interested in who can pass the competition and become the final winner.

"Friend Xu?"

A voice came from behind, causing Xu Chunniang to pause.

She turned her head with some doubts, and after recognizing the person in front of her, a smile appeared on her face, "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Su."

The one who stopped Xu Chunniang was none other than Su Chen, an outer disciple who had met once.

There was a slight smile on Su Chen's face, "I was a little worried just now, I have admitted the wrong person. Five years have passed, I didn't expect that we would meet here, did Fellow Daoist Xu also come to watch the outer sect competition?"

Xu Chunniang nodded, "Don't fellow Daoist Su do the same?"

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Although Xu Chunniang and Su Chen didn't have a deep relationship, the friendship between the two had the feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water.

Su Chen looked at the noisy disciples around, and suggested, "Long time no see, why don't we have a good chat in another place?"

Xu Chunniang thought about it, it was already noon today, and she met a friend she hadn't seen for a few years, even if she was delayed for a while, it would be fine, so she nodded her head in agreement.

Su Chen led the way ahead, and the two walked towards a barren mountain, and soon reached a place inaccessible.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks and looked around, "Let's just go here. Fellow Daoist Xu, don't you think this place is barren?"

Xu Chunniang shook her head and sat leisurely on a rock.

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled, followed Xu Chunniang's example, and found a rock beside him to sit down.

"This farewell to Fellow Daoist Xu is that we haven't seen each other for more than five years. What has Fellow Daoist Xu been up to all these years?"

Xu Chunniang thought for a while, "Farming, practicing."

Su Chen was speechless, and then laughed, "I forgot, Fellow Daoist Xu was originally a spiritual plant."

"It's just to earn contribution points. How about Fellow Daoist Su, has the art of talismans improved over the years? I remember that five years ago, you were able to draw middle-grade defensive talismans."

Su Chen was very calm, "At present, I can already refine high-grade talisman seals, and occasionally I am lucky, and I can even make a top-grade talisman."

Hearing this, Xu Chunniang showed envy and longing.

She has been learning the art of talismans for three years, and she has only mastered a few kinds of middle-grade talismans, and she does not know when she will be able to refine high-grade talismans, or even top-grade talismans.

"I have also started to make talismans in recent years, but I am not as good as Su Daoyou. I can only refine middle-grade talisman seals."

A look of surprise flashed across Su Chen's face, "In just a few years, he was able to refine medium-grade talisman seals. Fellow Daoist Xu's talent is already pretty good."

Many people have mediocre talents, and it takes several years to go from a low-grade talisman to a middle-grade one, let alone starting from scratch.

Xu Chunniang shook her head and smiled, she knew her own family affairs, so she was not very talented, so it can only be said that practice makes perfect.

The two are obviously not very familiar with each other, but they talk happily like old friends who have known each other for many years.

From the art of talismans to practice, and to the arts of cultivating immortals, they exchanged opinions.

Su Chen talked eloquently, "Actually, there is no distinction between high and low in all arts of cultivating immortals. Take the way of puppet that has long since declined as an example. There used to be a Nascent Soul who was proficient in the art of puppet in ancient times and could create something comparable to golden elixir. A puppet of late cultivation."

Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement. The Lingzhi she had learned looked ordinary, but the income was actually not low.

It's just that many disciples are not optimistic about Lingzhi, who is more of an auxiliary type, and they are unwilling to learn in a down-to-earth manner. This is also the reason why Lingzhi is relatively unpopular.

Su Chen sighed softly, "Such as alchemy, it has been very popular since ancient times, but how many people have been immersed in it for a lifetime, and when they die, they are just drug boys."

Xu Chunniang thinks so.

The resources needed to train an alchemist or a tool refiner are enormous.

Most of the outer disciples with no background can successfully become a first-level alchemist, which is already very good.

In addition to completing the tasks entrusted by the sect, the disciples of the outer sect also have to earn spiritual stones while taking care of their own cultivation. It is difficult to go far on the road of alchemy.

As the sun moved westward, the two said goodbye.

Before leaving, Su Chen made an invitation, "You have already cultivated to the sixth level of Qi training. In two days, I am going to go to the Black Moon Devil's Nest to practice. Do you want to come together?"
