Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 409: Aotou
"Brother Liu, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Zhong Lin put down the teacup in his hand and looked directly at Liu Ziyan.

"Okay, Junior Brother Zhong is indeed a straightforward person. I won't beat around the bush anymore."

Liu Ziyan waved his right hand and put all the tea sets on the stone table into the storage bracelet.

"Junior Brother Zhong, do you know about the Aotou Society?"

Zhong Lin sighed in his heart. Yu Shu was right. The so-called Aotou Club really came to him.

"Have heard a little bit."

Liu Ziyan smiled and said leisurely, "Then I wonder if Junior Brother Zhong has any ideas?"

"Brother Liu, are you inviting me to join the guild?"

"good."

"That's a shame. I'm already a member of the Chrysanthemum Shadow Society."

"It's okay. The Aotou Society doesn't care about people or power. As long as you are outstanding enough and have someone to recommend you, you can join. There is no conflict. I think you also know the purpose of the Aotou Society. Now I will tell you that the true leader of the Aotou Society is the Third Holy Son. Once you join the society, you will have the opportunity to meet the Holy Son and enjoy his blessings. From then on, you will soar to the sky."

Liu Ziyan's tone was full of enthusiasm when he spoke, which made Zhong Lin feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. He always felt that it was inconsistent with his gentle and elegant temperament.

At the same time, he was also wary of the Third Holy Son, whom he had never met.

"Senior Brother Liu, if I join the guild, will I be among the top three, or even the top ten in this competition?" Zhong Lin asked.

Liu Ziyan frowned, shook his head and said, "This time I've already won the championship."

The implicit meaning is that don’t even think about it this time, the most you can do is “follow the dragon’s merit”.

Zhong Lin's face was unfriendly, and his voice was a little cold as he said, "Since Senior Brother Liu has been paying attention to me, he should know my strength. I have a place in the top ten at least."

Liu Ziyan also had a toothache. It was because of his attention that he realized that Zhong Lin was very strong, at least he could make it into the top ten in the competition.

If you want to recruit others to join the gang, you have to at least give them certain benefits. Warriors are a relatively realistic group of people. Who would be willing to work with you if you just talk without any benefits?

"The top ten sects in the competition will receive certain rewards, and some elders may even take them in as disciples. If Senior Brother Liu asks me to give up based on just a few words, wouldn't that be too much of a stretch?"

"Junior Brother Zhong, you can't say that. Martial arts practice must not rely solely on temporary gains. With your strength, Junior Brother Zhong, if you can practice for another ten years, and with the help of the Aotou Society, you may even be the first in the next competition." Liu Ziyan retorted.

"ten years?"

Zhong Lin taunted, "Martial arts is about fighting. If you give up now, it will not only cost you resources, but also the courage to fight and the destiny in the dark."

Liu Ziyan raised his eyebrows.

"Junior Brother Zhong also believes in the method of 'stealing luck'?"

Martial artists are very "superstitious" and believe that practicing martial arts requires the help of luck from somewhere. Otherwise, why can others inherit the legacy of their predecessors by jumping off a cliff when they go out to train, while they can only be torn into pieces and their souls return to the underworld.

If this isn’t luck, then what is?
There was a time when the martial arts world was permeated with the idea of "stealing luck". People believed that by defeating other martial artists, they could seize their luck and make their own luck stronger.

It is not clear whether the luck has been taken away, but psychologically speaking, after defeating the opponent, one can become more determined in one's beliefs and do something with a more confident attitude, and the success rate can indeed be greatly increased.

This is science.

Therefore, many people’s success rate in breaking through a certain realm increases significantly after defeating their opponents, which also makes more people believe in the concept of "seizing luck." Similarly, if you are afraid before fighting, it is also a kind of loss of luck.

"I am a casual cultivator, and I have conquered many battles to get to where I am today, so I only trust the sword in my hand."

Liu Ziyan's expression also turned cold, and he looked at Zhong Lin gloomily.

"Junior Brother Zhong, do you really want to do this?"

"It's you, brother, who is too insincere."

The conversation between the two ended here, and the atmosphere instantly became depressing.

Liu Ziyan stood up and left the pavilion directly, saying in a cold voice: "Senior Brother Sikong is determined to win the first place in this competition. Anyone who stands in his way will not have a good end. Junior Brother Zhong, think carefully about it. Don't ruin your future martial arts for a momentary dispute."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away into the air.

Zhong Lin was still sitting in the pavilion, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of doubt.

He knew the Senior Brother Sikong that Liu Ziyan was talking about, and because he knew that, he became even more confused.

The so-called Senior Brother Sikong is the Sikong Yan who condensed the Nine Heavens Star Body and reached the perfect level of Xuandan Realm.

With this person's cultivation level, breaking through the Yin-Yang realm and becoming an inner disciple is a foregone conclusion.

What's more, he is also associated with the Third Holy Son.

In this case, the outer disciple competition is completely unnecessary for him.

It can't be that they are fighting for the "Yin Yang Fusion Pill"?

This pill is of no use to him anymore, not to mention that the third Holy Son on the list will not be short of this pill.

It can't be for fame, right?
But Zhong Lin heard that Sikong Yan didn't care much about fame, and the reputation he had now was just spread by others. Moreover, it was not practical to offend so many talented disciples for the so-called fame. It was a typical case of harming others and not benefiting oneself.

"So what is it that attracts him?"

Suddenly, Zhong Lin's heart moved, as if he thought of something. Without stopping, he went straight to Tingyu Pavilion on Juying Peak.

When Zhong Lin came out of Tingyu Pavilion, his expression changed completely.

"Nirvana Fruit! The reward for first place in this outer sect competition is actually Nirvana Fruit. What a bold sect!"

Zhong Lin learned from Senior Sister Ye Yu that the reward for the first place in the outer sect competition was a Nirvana Fruit, which instantly made him lose his composure.

Yu Shu once introduced the Nirvana Fruit to Zhong Lin, saying it was an incomparable treasure.

The word "Nirvana" itself carries an extremely powerful force. The spiritual fruit named after Nirvana must be an extremely rare treasure.

The so-called Nirvana Fruit is a spiritual fruit born in the place where a strong man in the Nirvana realm sits and passes away. Of course, it is not born in every place where a strong man in the Nirvana realm sits and passes away. Only when a strong man in the great perfection level of the Nirvana realm sits and passes away will there be a small probability that this kind of wonder of heaven and earth will be born. This thing has the unique power of Nirvana in the Nirvana realm, which can bring the dead back to life, rebirth from Nirvana, and can also make up for the defects in the foundation.

Simply put, if Zhong Lin could devour a Nirvana Fruit, he would be able to transform his second-grade Xuandan into a first-grade Immortal Golden Pill, thus establishing an unparalleled foundation.

It can be said that spiritual objects such as Nirvana Fruit are extremely precious things in ordinary holy places. Usually, only when those saint sons with extraordinary talents are born, the holy places will be willing to give out good things like Nirvana Fruit to help them make up for their foundation and give them hope of breaking through to the king realm.

"It is said that Sikong Yan has also achieved the second level of elixir, so he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain a Nirvana Fruit and rebuild the supreme foundation of martial arts? No wonder, no wonder." Zhong Lin murmured.
