Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Ding Jueqing did not kill him, but let him leave.

Yi Jue watched the man admit defeat and left immediately. The two were still far from reaching the stage of fighting.

Although Ding Jueqing has an arrogant personality, his strength in this battle proves that he not only has the capital to be arrogant, but what he shows is far from arrogant enough.

When Yi Jue returned to the inn, he found someone waiting for him. This person was Song Nian, whom he had met before.

When Song Nian saw Yi Jue, he said directly,

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not Ding Jueqing, and I'm not here to provoke you. I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Yi Jue smiled and said,

"Is there anything we can cooperate on?"

When Song Nian saw that Yi Jue did not chase them away directly, he knew that there was hope for this matter, and then he led Yi Jue into a private room in the inn.

Yi Jue thought for a moment and followed.

The private room was very simple and elegant, but the incense burner and tea sets on the table were all third-level. It was obviously not a place Song Nian chose casually. This place must have been decorated long ago.

Song Nian first boiled water and warmed the cup, then slowly brewed a cup of tea and pushed it to Yi Jue, then poured a cup for himself, and then spoke,
"This is the third-grade spiritual tea of ​​the Tiansha Sect, Cuishan Maofeng. It takes twenty years to harvest a hundred kilograms. If it weren't for this grand ceremony, we wouldn't be able to apply for it."

"However, fellow Taoist is worthy of this tea, please try it first."

Yi Jue has drunk a lot of tea over the years, but most of it was second-grade tea. Third-grade tea trees are rare, spiritual tea is even rarer, and the tea from the Tiansha Sect is even rarer.

After taking a sip, he discovered that there was a strong cloud of gas growing in his body, and this cloud of gas carried a faint spiritual energy, constantly permeating Yi Jue's body.

"This tea will probably be of great use to cultivators who have just entered the Jindan stage."

"However, when you first enter the Jindan stage, I'm afraid you won't be able to get this tea, and those who do get this tea won't be able to use its effects."

Yi Jue sighed,
Song Nian laughed, slowly spun the teacup, and then said,

"Your insightful observation is true for all things in the world. What can be easily obtained is often of little use, and what is of great use is often not obtained."

"Because we always scheme against each other. We don't worry about ourselves living badly, but we worry about those around us living too well. This is human nature."

Yi Jue sipped his tea but did not reply, while Song Nian changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist, the first round of the competition is almost coming to an end. The candidates for the second round have almost been determined. What follows is a real fight between dragons and tigers. I wonder how confident you are of reaching the top."

Yi Jue looked at Song Nian in front of him. The consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage was his greatest means, but if he said that he only relied on the Nascent Soul consciousness, it would be too early to sit back and relax.

"Ten percent!"

Song Nianchu was stunned when he heard it, and then he burst into laughter. Anyone who has seen so many battles would not think that the next battle would be easy.

But Yi Jue's 100% does not mean that he is really sure of winning, but that he is determined to win.

Song Nian laughed for a while, then said,
"Fellow Daoist, if that's the case, then forming an alliance with me will bring you hundreds of benefits without any harm."

Yi Jue looked at the monk in front of him for the first time and said,
"Appreciate further details."

Song Nian explained,
"In this first round, only two people will enter from each group, and you are in the second group. You have already been confirmed to enter, so these words are not an overstep."

"In fact, after we were divided into groups, the second round of matches was already determined." "This time, the first and second groups that advance to the second round will compete against each other, and this so-called battle will be between the first group's first and the second group's second, and the first group's second and the second group's second."

"The winners will have a second match, and the winner will advance to the third round. The loser will play another match with the winner of the loser group, and the winner will advance to the third round."

"Therefore, your biggest opponents in the second round are the two winners of the first group. Among them, the one you should pay the most attention to should be Miao Jun."

"You should know that the Hehuan Sect is the number one sect in the Demonic Path, and Miao Jun is known as the number one person in the Hehuan Sect who has achieved Dan. How much gold is contained in this."

Yi Jue had anticipated this scene, and then said,

"It will be fine if we win."

"The first Jindan master in the Hehuan Sect, but it is just bragging from outsiders. There is no such title in the Hehuan Sect."

Song Nian said slowly,
"Miao Jun, I can't help you. This is a tough battle, but Miao Jun's previous battle will determine how much damage you will suffer and what kind of attitude you will take when facing Miao Jun."

"And the one who was able to enter the second round as the runner-up in Miao Jun's group is definitely not an ordinary person."

Yi Jue nodded, and then said,

“I don’t know what I need to pay?”

Song Nian smiled and said,

"It's too early to talk about giving now. You will have a chance to help me only after you defeat Miao Jun."

Yi Jue thought about it and understood Song Nian's plan. It seemed that Mo Yin's fighting skills had a great restraint on Song Nian. However, Yi Jue had no intention of prying into the matter. After all, this was indeed a mutual help and benefit.

"Have the people in Miao Jun's group who will enter the second round been confirmed?"

You know, Yi Jue has only played two games, and theoretically, there are five people in his group, and there are still two games to play. As a seeded player, he still has two games to play, so in fact there should be quite a few games. How could it be confirmed so quickly?

Song Nian seemed to see Yi Jue's doubts, and then said,

"On the first day, Miao Jun killed one, and on the second day, the one I am going to introduce killed another."

"On the seventh day, Miao Jun fought with this guy. This guy lost a bit, but was not seriously injured."

"There was another person who did not appear, but he admitted defeat directly. It was obvious that he did not want to be the third person to lose his life."

"The first group of qualifying lists has been announced."

"This person's name is Han, he is a cultivator of the Yuling Sect, and he has many kinds of spiritual insects on his body."

"In his first battle, he used spirit insects to completely devour the Jindan cultivator. He had several kinds of spirit insects on his body, and was proficient in the art of controlling insects, and had many secret techniques for controlling insects."

As Song Nian talked, Yi Jue was almost certain that this person would also achieve success in the Nascent Soul stage in the future and was Han Yunzhi's cousin.

As for the secret techniques of the Yuling Sect, Yi Jue was a bit troubled, but when he thought of the gold-eating bugs, he gained more confidence. You know, the gold-eating bugs' diet includes spiritual bugs.

Moreover, Han Li in the original work also relied on fire ants to complete a mutation of the gold-eating insect.

After the two said goodbye, Yi Jue didn't recover for long before he faced the last battle of the first round. Therefore, Yi Jue went out early and began his waiting. (End of this chapter)
