While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 226: How did you establish the foundation?

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhao Xianming suddenly coughed awkwardly and his cheeks began to turn red.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"Not really. In fact, I know everything about her..."

"Ah."

"But she was still involved with other people at the time, and I thought she wanted to be with me because she was using me like she was using other people."

[Oh! I understand. No wonder I was attracted to Zhao Xianming at first, but I refused to agree to Sister Yuanyuan’s proposal.

It turns out that he thought Sister Yuanyuan didn’t really like him, but just wanted to use him! I didn’t expect she was so innocent~]

"That's it. Congratulations."

Qu Xinyou said this and took out several bottles of pills from the Lingyu space.

"This is a pill for the foundation-building stage. Please give the other two bottles to Yuanyuan for me."

Zhao Xianming has been managing Lingjue Peak all these years. Otherwise, she wouldn't have it so easy.

Zhao Xianming did not hesitate and took it readily.

"I'll give it to her. Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Qu, you asked me to keep the quota for the Foundation Establishment Stage. Who is it? They have to report it today."

"it's me."

"So it's you... What? It's Senior Sister Qu?!" Zhao Xianming's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"But isn't Senior Sister Qu only at the sixth level of Qi Refining..."

"I have established my foundation, you can just report it directly."

Zhao Xianming was still in a daze until he left.

He could never have imagined that the person who was eligible for the Foundation Establishment Stage would be Qu Xinyu.

How come the foundation was established so quickly?

But soon, he figured it out.

Senior Sister Qu’s master is Ye Zhenjun, and the sect master seems to be very optimistic about her. It is normal for her cultivation to progress so quickly... right?

After Zhao Xianming left, Qu Xinyou took out the Flame Sky Art.

She has been practicing the Youlan Sword Technique during this period, and she has also learned a little bit of the Phantom Cloud Chasing Shadow Technique. The only thing she has not touched is the Flame Sky Flame Technique.

It's just right. I can learn the first level while there is still time. Then I will be more confident in the competition.

There are six levels in the Flame Sky Art. The first level is to burn the body with scorching flames. The flames can penetrate from the body to form a layer of flame armor, which can be used for defense as well as to enhance power when attacking.

At the same time, this level can also master basic fire attack methods, such as fire palm, fire fist, etc.

This is the first level of the Flame Sky Art. It is relatively basic, but already has some power.

Qu Xinyou is thoughtful.

The Orchid Sword Technique is more suitable for head-on confrontation, while the Flame Sky Flame Technique is also more inclined towards head-on confrontation.

However, if it is combined with the Phantom Cloud Chasing Technique, it can also achieve unexpected results.

When using the Phantom Cloud Chasing Shadow Technique, one can mobilize the surrounding clouds and mist to form a maze, obscuring one's figure and making it difficult for the enemy to track.

Moreover, this skill can also allow her to burst out with amazing speed in a short period of time, which can be used for both escaping and attacking the enemy by surprise.

Three days passed in a flash again.

On this day, the competition officially began.

Qu Xinyou took out the Moon Shadow Banner, restored his cultivation, and walked out of the cave.

The people waiting outside the cave were still discussing who the other Foundation Establishment disciple was.

Only Zhao Xianming looked calm and composed.

Seeing several people guessing and guessing, he smiled and said nothing. Anyway, they will know it later, and they will definitely be more shocked than he was a few days ago.

Soon, Qu Xinyou came out of the cave.

Yun Wei and the others in the Foundation Establishment Stage hadn't noticed it yet, they just felt that Qu Xinyu's aura had become much stronger.

Ye Congyuan and the other two saw it immediately.

"You, you, you, you have established your foundation?!" Ye Congyuan was shocked.

You know, he has consumed a lot of elixirs and natural treasures over the years, and practiced non-stop. Apart from practicing, he also practiced swordsmanship, which laid the foundation for him.

The purpose is to accumulate experience in this competition so that we can make a stunning appearance in the next competition.

How come Qu Xinyu has established his foundation so quickly?
You have to know that she is an outer sect disciple and her spiritual root aptitude cannot be very good, not to mention that she had the worst spiritual root aptitude among the outer sect disciples at the beginning!

"What?! Established the foundation?"

Everyone was shocked, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Xiaoyou, how come you have established your foundation so quickly?" Yun Wei couldn't believe it.

Is this even justified?

Her spiritual roots are slightly better than Qu Xinyou's. She is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and she is still complacent about her fast speed.

How did Xiaoyou build his foundation? !
In response, Qu Xinyou did not explain, but just said: "The competition is about to begin, let's go first."

Only then did everyone react.

"That makes sense. Let's go over there first."

As the Yuqing Sect's competition is held once every ten years, all of the Yuqing Sect's Qi-refining and foundation-building disciples participate in it, so it is naturally an unprecedented event.

On the sect square surrounded by mountains, a huge arena stands in the center. Its surface is engraved with complicated runes and has a faint golden sheen, as if it contains some kind of mysterious power.

The auditoriums around were packed with people.

The disciples from various peaks were dressed in uniform, some were talking in low voices, some were resting with their eyes closed, their faces showing anticipation and nervousness for the upcoming competition.

Occasionally, disciples with advanced cultivation would release weak aura fluctuations, causing the surrounding people to exclaim in amazement.

At the highest point outside the square, Sect Master Lin Yuze and the elders of the sect stood solemnly.

Qu Xinyu glanced around and didn't see Zhenren Zhuqin and Zhenjun Huaijin, so he retracted his gaze and looked at the booklet that each of them had in their hands.

The booklet contains the rules, precautions and rewards of the competition.

The sect competition lasts for half a month and is an arena competition with a points elimination system, with a total of eight arenas.

Each win counts as one point. Everyone’s initial score is one. As long as there are points, you can continue to compete within these four days. If the points reach zero, you will be eliminated.

At the end, the total points of the disciples in each peak will be calculated. The top three peaks with the highest total points will have a lot of resources, just like Xiaobi.

These resources can be enjoyed by all disciples of that peak.

In addition, there are rules for competitions, such as prohibiting the use of lethal or disabling attacks in competitions, in order to ensure the safety of the disciples.

There is also a time limit, and each ring match cannot exceed two quarters of an hour.

If the winner cannot be determined within the specified time, the elders will decide the winner based on the performance and tactical use of both sides.

There are also detailed explanations on how to determine victory or defeat.

Winning or losing is determined by the following methods:

First, the opponent voluntarily admits defeat;
The second is being knocked out of the ring;
The third is the loss of combat capability, such as falling to the ground or being unable to continue fighting;
Fourth, the elders of each arena will decide the winner based on the performance of both sides.

Qu Xinyou looked at these rules.

If she wanted to continue gaining combat experience, she had to have enough points to spend.

There are very few people in the early stage of foundation building who participate in the competition, most of them are in the middle and late stages.

Therefore, every subsequent game may be extremely difficult for her, and she may not even win a single game.

Suddenly, a loud bell rang, echoing between the valleys.
