Chapter 197 The Competition Ends
After hearing Yun Xi's explanation, Cao Yi's serious expression finally softened a bit, but he still said:

"Some formations can indeed be broken by force, but for some formations, the more violent the destruction, the stronger the attack power. Your method won't work on all formations."

Yun Xi nodded immediately and said:
"Brother Cao's teachings are true. Junior Sister has discovered her own shortcomings through this competition, so she decided to brush up on her knowledge of formations."

She was not being perfunctory in her words. Among the four arts of cultivation, she had already practiced alchemy and talisman making, but she had not yet started with weapon refining and formation.

Refining equipment is a skill that requires burning spirit stones. Before you can take orders independently, the spirit stones are spent like water. However, after passing the assessment and obtaining a grade, you can earn back all the spirit stones you spent before. You can refer to the three robes she bought.

So Yun Xi has no plans to learn this skill for now, but she does want to brush up on her array skills, especially when she goes out for training, as she would be at a loss if she encounters an array.

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Cao Yi touched his storage ring, took out two jade slips and handed them to her.

"This is the 'Basics of Formation' and the 'Compendium of Practical Formation'. You should be able to use them."

"This"

"I'm giving it to you. I've studied these. They're just sitting there anyway. They're not particularly precious jade slips."

Cao Yi still pushed the jade slip to Yun Xi. Yun Xi realized that he really wanted to give it to her, so she smiled and continued:
"Thank you, Brother Cao. I will study it carefully."

Afterwards, the two exchanged the aura of the communication jade slips, thus establishing a preliminary connection.

Just as Yun Xi put the jade slip into the storage bracelet, she was stopped by Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui again.

"Two masters, do you have any advice for me?"

Lin Keyang coughed lightly and was about to speak when Zhang Lingrui spoke first:
"Junior Sister Wei, don't be so defensive. We just want to be friends with you."

Zhang Lingrui emphasized the word "friend", which made Yun Xi misunderstand. She looked at Zhang Lingrui and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Brother Zhang, I'm young, so I'm not considering developing a relationship beyond fellow disciples with the opposite sex. Furthermore, I don't want to find a Taoist partner with a huge age gap. You might as well make friends with other female cultivators who are interested."

Zhang Lingrui was stunned for a moment, then his nostrils widened when he understood what Yun Xi meant. He gritted his teeth and said:

"That was not what I meant."

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"What does that Senior Brother Zhang mean?"

Lin Keyang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked this bad friend why he always attracted romantic interests. It turned out that it was because he didn't express himself clearly, which led to misunderstandings.

Lin Keyang immediately said:

"Junior Sister Wei, you misunderstood. Senior Brother Zhang and I want to explore the newly discovered secret realm of the Baohua Mountains with you."

When Yun Xi heard that it was a serious matter, he stopped teasing and asked directly:

"Is the information you two brothers have received reliable? When will the secret realm open?"

"It's reliable. This sect competition is to select disciples for entering the secret realm. The Golden Core stage is the minimum threshold for entering the secret realm.

But you've also seen that our sect has many Jindan disciples, but there are only a few Jindan early stage cultivators as powerful as Junior Sister. Therefore, the competition will eliminate a large number of them. At least, we can't let them go in and die. Generally, although newly-born secret realms have countless opportunities, they are also very dangerous. "

Because Yun Xi returned to the sect half a day before the competition, the news was a little delayed. Although he met the disciples of the Wei family, they were all foundation-building cultivators and probably had not heard any news about this. They simply thought that this was just a sect competition.

"So, you two brothers want to team up with me and explore the secret realm together?"

"Yes, that's what we mean."

Yun Xi did not directly refuse, but only raised a question:

"Two brothers, as far as I remember, entering the secret realm is usually a random teleportation process. The three of us may not be teleported together. Furthermore, we don't know the size of the secret realm. If we are scattered in the south and north of the secret realm, it will take some time to reunite, not to mention the obstacles we will encounter along the way. There is no point in forming a team like this."

Zhang Lingrui smiled and said:

"Junior Sister Wei, your worries are not unnecessary. However, most secret realms have a core, and the core is where the treasures are truly located. If you want to seize the opportunity, you must form a team. Fighting alone will not win.

And as far as I know, the cultivators entering the secret realm this time are not only from our western region, but also from the other four regions. I guess they are all here for the treasures in the secret realm. The competition will definitely be fierce. Can you guarantee that you will escape safely?
I guess by then, you'll have to fight for it even if you don't want to, so forming a team and forming an alliance is the best option."

Yun Xi thought about it and nodded:
"Okay, let's team up, but I want to invite one more person to join."

"Who?"

"Senior Brother Cao Yi."

Zhang Lingrui said in a somewhat mean tone:
"An opponent you conceded twice?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"Yes, since we can't defeat him, we can recruit him into our group. Besides, there's no guarantee that there aren't natural formations in the secret realm. You have a physical cultivator and a sword cultivator, plus me as a magic cultivator, and another formation cultivator. At least you should have no problem protecting yourself."

Lin Keyang nodded after hearing this and said:
"Junior Sister Wei is really thoughtful. I think there's no problem. As long as Senior Brother Cao agrees, I will invite him to join our team."

"Okay, I'll bring this up with Senior Brother Cao."

Zhang Lingrui nodded and continued:

"The secret realm won't be fully opened for about half a year. Everyone should practice and prepare on their own first. We'll get together again before we set off."

"it is good."

The three of them exchanged the aura of the communication jade slips before separating.

Yun Xi walked towards the Wei family disciples who were waiting for her.

The Wei family disciples surrounded Yun Xi and congratulated him with a smile. Yun Xi could now become the Wei family's pillar of support in the sect, so everyone's congratulations were sincere.

Yun Ting also briefly talked about the rankings of the Wei family disciples in this competition. Yun Ying was eliminated early because she had just established her foundation, while the other Wei family disciples persisted for more than three rounds.

The one with the best ranking was Wei Zongyu, who made it into the top 30 of the Foundation Establishment Period with his cultivation at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment Period.

Wei Zonghao achieved a breakthrough on the battlefield, and his cultivation level was raised to the middle stage of foundation building. However, due to lack of practical experience, he only achieved 35th place.

The remaining Yun Ting, Zong Han, and Zong Jin were ranked after the top fifty, but they were also within the top hundred, so at least they did not bring shame to the Wei family.

"Where's Wei Yunqing?"

Yun Xi wanted to know her ranking.

Zong Hao replied calmly:

"Her current cultivation level is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, ranking 20th in the Foundation Establishment stage. I watched her fights and it's obvious that she has accumulated a lot of combat experience."

Yun Xi smiled slightly after hearing this. Wei Yunqing was the heroine, and she was forced to go and gain experience halfway back to the family. If she couldn't rank well again, the title of the Daughter of Luck would probably change hands.

Wei Yunting didn't want the Wei family disciples to create opposition, so she smiled and said:

"We all performed well in this competition and discovered our own shortcomings. Now we have a direction to work towards and I believe the future will be even better."

Yun Xi nodded and changed the subject.
