I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 280 Sword Trial Conference, Bathing in the Holy Spring (Please subscribe)
Wei Tu, who was sitting in the seat of the Ying Ding Department, was not clear about the old monster's concern for Wei Tu.

After he read the information on the jade slip, the sword trial meeting began in full swing.

The rules of the competition are simple.

The participating monks from the three major divisions each drew a silver lot, and based on the numbers on the silver lot, they matched their opponents to determine the winner.

Eighteen contestants competed for nine winners in the first round, while the nine failed monks competed for one winner for the second round.

And so on, and finally the top one is selected.

Unlike Qi training and foundation-building monks, Golden Core monks have many methods. Even if the participants do not use their trump cards, the use of some secret techniques alone is enough to dazzle people.

Magical weapons and instruments for casual cultivators.

Various spiritual arts of the three major divisions of mages and priests.

These are the highlights of this competition.

However, Yuan Jie and Fairy Baohua, because they have studied both the immortal way and the spiritual way, absorbed the strengths of both paths, and completely stood out in this competition.

"Fan!" On the ring, Yuan Jie flicked his sleeves and held out a dark green feather fan, fanning it hard at the fire unicorn he had just condensed with his spiritual skills.

Wind helps fire!

In an instant, the fire unicorn grew from a few feet in size to more than ten feet in size, almost occupying the entire arena.The two front feet stepped down, and the female cultivator from the Fengwu tribe who was fighting with Yuan Jie was directly blasted away.

The same goes for Fairy Baohua.

However, unlike Yuan Jie, the spiritual path he cultivates is not the Five Elements Path, but the "Hundred Flowers Path" derived from the Wood Element.

When the flowers on the arena bloomed, the monks on the arena were unknowingly poisoned by an intractable spiritual poison, and had no choice but to beg for mercy.

"Yuanjie, Baihua Fairy..." After watching the battle between the two, Wei Tu's expression became more solemn.

Only then did he understand deeply why the second prince of Prince Youxian's palace was so afraid of Yuan Jie.

Without it, it would be too dazzling.

Wei Tu thought to himself that when facing Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy with his strength, if he did not use the "high-level talisman" in his hand and only fought with his regular strength, it would be really difficult to predict whether he would win or lose. .

You know, he is a practitioner of both Dharma and Body.

At the same level, he is almost invincible.

"A person with profound attainments in one path may not necessarily lose to someone who has mastered both." Wei Tu thought to himself.

To put it simply, he passed the A-level exam on each of the two courses of body refining and qi refining, while Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy passed the A-level exam on the qi refining course.

It seems like he can win by adding the two together.

But in fact, the reason why the two of them passed the A test was because they were the only ones who passed the A test.

In terms of their attainments in spiritual arts, Wei Tu guessed that Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy were no less than the monks in the late Jindan period, and they were truly outstanding.

However, Qi Luck is not exclusive to the Ying Ding Department. There are also several monks from the Sheri Department and the Fengwu Department who have shown extremely high fighting abilities.

among these people.

There was the "Old Monster with the Sky Corpse" that Wei Tu paid attention to at the beginning.

This golden elixir cultivator with the corpse path inheritance seems to have trained his body into a walking corpse, which is indestructible. Coupled with his various weird corpse path secret techniques, he is even more powerful than ordinary people who cultivate both body and law.

As for Yuan Ping, Yue Qian and others.

In terms of strength, although it is stronger than ordinary golden elixirs, in this battle, it seemed a bit mediocre.

It was quickly brushed off.

However, except for Yue Qian's slight mistake, Yuan Ping and the two twin brothers looked calm, and their moods were not affected by their defeat.

to this point.

Wei Tu thought about it for a moment and then he understood.

Combat talent and cultivation talent are two different things and cannot be confused.

When they were young, the three great masters of the Ying Ding Tribe were not necessarily as good as Yuanjie. They were the leading mage or high priest, or even... very ordinary.

Of course, the so-called ordinary does not necessarily mean truly ordinary.

It may be hidden clumsiness.

After all, the first rafters will die first.

……

The Sword Trial Conference has entered the final stage.

Baohua Fairy was defeated and won No. 5.

Yuan Jie, the old monster Tianzhi, Yu Wencheng from the Sun Shooting Department and a casual cultivator named "Gong Yun" squeezed into the top four and entered the penultimate round.

Subsequently.

Yuan Jie and Yu Wencheng fought fiercely for half a day. After hundreds of moves, they were defeated in one move. Yu Wencheng broke the magic shield and was knocked off the ring.

When the old monster of the Sky Corpse and Gong Yun came here, it was much easier for the old monster of the Sky Corpse to win. He only used a dozen moves to find Gong Yun's weakness with his physical training strength and won with one blow.

The final round of competition.

Yu Wencheng fought against the old monster of the Sky Corpse. At the last moment of the battle, he took out a thunder cone magic weapon, which was used to defeat the corpse path of the old monster of the Sky Corpse. In the end, he won a narrow victory and won the first place.

But now, the sword trial meeting is not over yet.

Only the basic ranking has been tentatively determined.

If any competitor is dissatisfied with his or her ranking, he or she can have another battle with the top-ranked monk.

Three days later, the ranking of the monks who successfully defended the ring will be completely determined.

However, despite the rules, not many monks dared to challenge in the past three days. After all, the top monks had already demonstrated their great strength in the ring, and they were not just in vain.

Three days pass.

The final result is determined.

Based on Yuan Jie's ranking, the Ying Ding Division became the No. 3 of the three major divisions this time, ranking last.

"The reward for the top spot this time is the two treasures "Golden Divine Clay" and "Sun-Shou Pill"..."

Yuan Jie clicked his tongue and lamented greatly.

The Golden God Mud is the universal elixir for making magic weapons.It is a unique third-level spiritual object in the world of immortality.

You only need to put spiritual materials into the Golden God Clay, and over time, the Metal God Clay will gradually evolve into the appearance of this spiritual material and become a part of it.

The Sun-Shou Pill is a third-level high-grade elixir that purifies the monk's foundation and has a breakthrough effect.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan's reward this time is not bad either. He got a third-level medium-grade magic weapon."

Wei Tu smiled and held his hands in congratulations.

The reward of the Sword Trial Tournament is just an added bonus for Yuan Jie's No. 3 victory this time. The greater reward will come from within the Ying Ding Department.

Prestige, power, cultivation qualifications, etc.

After this competition, the Ying Ding Department will allocate corresponding resources to Yuan Jie, the deputy leader of the Cang Kun Alliance.

——Yuan Jie has proven through actual combat that he is the No. 1 young elixir in Ying Ding.

"Yes." Yuan Jie nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"When he returns to the Ying Ding tribe, Yuan will definitely inform the three great masters to open a school in Hujiexian City to teach the improved spiritual ways of the Cangkun Alliance..."

Yuan Jie's eyes were determined.

This time, through fighting, he has allowed the priests and mages of the Ying Ding tribe in Sunset City to see the results of his fusion of the immortal way and the spiritual way.

Now, it’s time to promote it.

He does not mean that.

When he heard this, Wei Tu used his spiritual consciousness to observe the second prince's reaction.

Sure enough, the second prince's expression suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes became much sharper.Perhaps in Yuanjie's view, the promotion of "improved spiritual ways" was to benefit the Ying Ding tribe.

But this matter is different when it falls into the Prince Youxian's Mansion to which the second prince belongs - this is Yuan Jie's deliberate effort to create momentum for the Golden Horde election.

"When you leave Sunset City, remind Yuan Jie."

Wei Tu touched his chin.

After the incident of Killing the Wolf Taoist, although Prince Youxian's Palace and him had made peace publicly, Wei Tu did not think that he would be able to get along well with Prince Youxian's Palace in the future.

Prince Youxian's palace has something evil in his mind, and Taoist Wolf Slayer doesn't know how to live or die... If he gets the chance, he will most likely be inflicted on him and end his troubles once and for all.

……

a few days later.

Wei Tu followed a group of Yingding monks into the inner city of Sunset City. After going through the teleportation array, he arrived at the "Sunset Spring" underground.

This is an underground grotto shrouded in dense fog and humid air.On the surface of the grotto, various forbidden techniques and formations are carved.

As soon as Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness was released, it was blocked by the fog along the way and could not extend at all.

"Sure enough, it is the centerpiece of the three major divisions." Wei Tu thought to himself with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sunset Spring is almost the foundation of the three major tribes.With this spiritual spring, the three major divisions can last for tens of thousands of years and be passed on continuously.

It can be said that in terms of value, the Sunset Spring is more precious than the "Taixu Realm" left by the Stone Demon Sect.

"This time, the Yingding tribe ranks third, so the location where we bathe in the holy spring is relatively remote. It is not as good as the Sheri tribe and the Fengwu tribe."

Divine Master Donglai stood in front. He turned around, glanced at the priests and mages present, and said in a deep voice.

"Priests and mages who feel that their path is hopeless, I hope that you will give better opportunities to the young people in your clan."

The voice fell.

All the priests and mages looked at each other in shock.

Wei Tu and other young people didn't take it seriously, and even felt a little secretly happy in their hearts.But some of the other old priests and mages looked sad.

It is a difficult thing for anyone to measure whether they are hopeless.

Maybe, if they accidentally obtain some rare treasure in the future, they will be lucky enough to break through.

This kind of thing happens from time to time in the world of cultivating immortals.

It is possible that the goddess of luck will not fall on their heads.

But these thoughts,
They can only think about it privately.

In front of Master Donglai, Master Donglai can tell at a glance whether they have potential and whether they have hope for the path.Divine Master Donglai would not gamble with the future of a force on the extremely small probability in their life.

Therefore, under the pressure of Master Donglai, some priests and mages of the Ying Ding tribe had to agree to give up this opportunity and give it to the young monks.

High Priest Tia is also one of them.

After all the cultivators finished expressing their opinions, Divine Master Donglai, an old man in gray, nodded slightly and said, "I am not forcing you. After the young people come in, if there are vacancies, I can give them to you... If not, Wang Ting will also It will make up for some of your losses.”

After hearing this, the expressions of the old priests and old mages softened a little, and their resistance was much less.

"You young people also need to remember that this opportunity to bathe in the holy spring was won by the tribe for you. It was given to you by the old priests and old mages..."

Master Donglai's words were quite provocative, and soon the young monks of the Ying Ding tribe were deeply moved, and they had the consciousness to devote themselves to the tribe.

The speech is over.

Divine Master Donglai turned around again and injected a spell into the mist in front of him.

In an instant, the fog dissipated, revealing a blue stone door inside the grotto.

The bluestone door opened immediately, revealing a wide stone hall inside.In the middle of the stone hall is a jade platform with carved steps.

Within the jade platform, there is a spring water several feet in size, gurgling with golden spring water.

Around the spring, the spiritual energy turned into liquid, like small water droplets, condensing into spiritual mist, flowing slowly with the breeze near the Sunset Spring.

"This is Sunset Spring?" Wei Tu was surprised.

The scale of the Sunset Spring was much smaller than he imagined.

You must know that this time, there were nearly a hundred priests and mages from the three groups taking bath in the holy spring.

Follow Master Donglai and enter the stone hall.

The vision is clearer.

Wei Tu looked up and saw dense caves on the four walls of the stone hall.

At this time, some monks had settled in these caves and were meditating cross-legged.

In addition to the monks in the cave, some monks could be vaguely seen sitting on the floor in the stone hall wrapped in spiritual mist, breathing in spiritual energy.

The closer you are to the holy spring, the stronger the spiritual energy is.

Obviously, these monks had certain privileges.

Among these people, Wei Tu saw Yu Wencheng, Gong Yun, the old monster Tianzhi and others who had been at the sword test conference before.

"Third-level talisman master? Alchemy master? You are considered very talented. Like Yuan Jie and others, you meditate in the stone hall, and remember not to inhale too much water from the holy spring."

At this time, a voice exploded in Wei Tu's ears.

The person who spoke was Master Donglai.

"Thank you so much, Master Donglai." Wei Tu came back to his senses, with a grateful expression on his face, and quickly bowed to thank Master Donglai.

If normal arrangements were followed, he would probably be one of these cave monks and would never enter the stone hall to meditate which is quite close to the "Sunset Spring".

After arranging the meditation practice positions for the priests and mages of the Yingding Tribe, Divine Master Donglai exited the stone hall and transmitted a message to everyone: "A divine consciousness law prohibition has been set up here. You don't need to worry about others when you practice... If I can find out your roots, just let go and practice."

Divine consciousness is forbidden?

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He does not think that the spiritual consciousness law that can block the spiritual consciousness of Jindan monks will have an impact on Yuanying monks.

At most, it can only be hid from the people of the same level who are present, and not even one of the three major divine masters outside the site can be hid.

……

Although Wei Tu was appreciated by Master Donglai and placed in the stone hall, his location was not in the center, but in a remote corner of the stone hall.

However, Wei Tu is already very satisfied with this position.

At the beginning, when he sneaked from Zheng State to the Zama Tribe, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to participate in the "Holy Spring Meeting" of the three major tribes.

Time passed slowly.

A few days later, the Sunset Spring was triggered by the forbidden law and surged out. The golden liquid mixed with the spiritual mist in the air and spread in all directions of the stone hall.

The monks closest to the holy spring can capture the water of the holy spring immediately, while the remaining monks can only eat leftovers.

Wei Tu has better luck.

The monks in front of him were Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy. These two thought that he was also a monk of the Cangkun Alliance, and they gave him a share of the pie.

The water from the holy spring that came to him was relatively sufficient.

"Is this the water of the holy spring?"

When Wei Tu swallowed the first drop of the holy spring water with his magic power, he felt the horror of the holy spring water.

Just one drop of water from the holy spring was equivalent to several days of hard work for him.

Moreover, this spiritual liquid has no impurities, unlike elixirs that increase cultivation, which contain erysipelas to a greater or lesser extent.

At the same time, after Wei Tu's physical body bathed in the water of the holy spring, his body quickly felt longing for the drops of golden spiritual fluid.

Every part of his body, every organ, jumped for joy.
