A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"I understand your thoughts, but some things can't be rushed. You just need to treat this covenant between heaven and man as a proper event, and let the rest take their natural course!"

Nan Gong smiled and shook his head slightly, his wise eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts and foresee the future.

The Moon Goddess and the others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what kind of riddle Nan Gong was playing.

The following day, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi suddenly sent their disciples to inform people from various factions to go to Taiyi Palace Square, saying that there was something important to announce.

Filled with doubt, people from all sides arrived early.

Chisongzi, accompanied by the elders of the Heavenly Sect, appeared and cleared his throat.

"I believe many of you are wondering why we invited you to witness this Covenant between Heaven and Man. In fact, Taoism has been receiving a lot of attention lately, which is not the result we wanted. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you all to be here as witnesses."

"We Taoists are willing to reveal the formula for the Qi-Nourishing Pill to everyone!"

Before he could finish speaking, everyone present was stunned.

"What! The formula for the Qi-Nourishing Pill! Am I hallucinating?"

"Taoists are going to publicly reveal the formula for Qi-nourishing pills? Are you kidding me?"

At this moment, disciples of the various schools of thought and envoys from different countries all started chattering and discussing it.

However, several experts quickly realized that Chisongzi had something to say, so they immediately intervened and silenced the discussion.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down again, Chishongzi continued:

"Although our Taoist school will publicly disclose the formula for the Qi-Nourishing Pill, we must remind you beforehand that, unfortunately, due to some special reasons, even if we disclose the formula, absolutely no one will be able to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill."

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their confusion.

Is this looking down on them?

Especially Elder Jin of the Yin Yang School, whose main research within the Yin Yang School is alchemy. In terms of alchemy skills, he is absolutely world-class. If he knew the formula and still couldn't refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, then he might as well just slit his own throat!

"Sect Leader Chishongzi, please stop beating around the bush and explain yourself to us!"

Nan Gong walked forward with a smile and asked.

Chisongzi nodded slightly and took out a scroll.

"The Qi Nourishing Pill is not a pill that you can learn to refine just by having the formula. If you want to truly learn how to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, you can only learn the formula in my hand. Only by understanding the meaning contained in this formula can you learn how to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what he meant.

"Interesting. I didn't expect there to be such a special condition. In other words, even if the contents are the same, it's meaningless if it's not the same pill formula that Chishongzi has!"

Xun Kuang stroked his beard, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Chapter 225 He definitely couldn't accept losing to his own sister.

"Since the only way to learn how to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills is through the formula in your possession, what's the point of you revealing the formula? Aren't you just playing us for fools?"

At this point, some people also expressed their dissatisfaction.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people immediately echoed his words.

But many people also looked at their performance with the eyes of someone who thinks they are mentally challenged.

Chisongzi's face also turned cold. He flicked his sleeve, and a powerful aura burst forth, overwhelming those who had objections.

"The Qi-Nourishing Pill is originally a Taoist practice, and whether or not to make it public, and in what form, is entirely our freedom."

"Of course, we don't mean to play tricks on you. We are sincerely sharing this pill formula with you. However, to obtain this pill formula from me, certain conditions need to be met!"

"What conditions?"

Many people asked the question instinctively.

"After this covenant between Heaven and Man, our Heaven and Man Sects will hold a martial arts tournament. Everyone present can participate and discuss the Dao through martial arts. As long as you get the top three, you can get this pill formula, as well as other prizes provided by the Heaven Sect."

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this news.

After a brief silence, a lively discussion immediately broke out.

Even Xun Kuang and Nan Gong, who were usually calm and collected, were somewhat surprised at this moment.

A martial arts tournament! There has never been such a competition before.

"Are pill formulas only for the strong? That's quite a good idea!"

Soon, some people who were confident in their abilities began to plan to participate in the competition.

Of course, many more people are frustrated because they are not strong enough and will lose the recipe for the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

The Taoists' sudden announcement of a martial arts tournament, with prizes such important items as the recipe for Qi-Nourishing Pills, caught everyone off guard.

But Chishongzi didn't care about all that. Those forces that didn't take their Taoist invitation seriously deserved to miss this opportunity.

"Our Taoist school will not send anyone to participate in this martial arts tournament. Furthermore, the tournament is about discussing the Tao through martial arts, so we must stop when the point is reached. If anyone intentionally injures someone, we will disqualify them immediately."

Chishongzi continued explaining some of the rules of the martial arts tournament.

Upon hearing his words, some people frowned, but most expressed their understanding.

Those from the Mohist school, in particular, were the last to want the martial arts tournament to turn into a series of bloody battles.

So when they heard the rules set by Chishongzi, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The news of the martial arts tournament was like a bombshell. After Chisongzi and the others left, people from all sides hurriedly went to the Taoist disciple in charge of the matter to register.

Among them are some true masters, but they are still a minority.

Some people realized they had no chance of obtaining the elixir recipe, so they decisively gave up the idea of ​​participating in the martial arts tournament.

However, some people, knowing full well that they could not obtain the elixir formula, still resolutely participated in this martial arts tournament. They knew that many masters would appear at the tournament, and they wanted to take this opportunity to duel with them. If they could get their guidance, that would be even better.

such

It wasn't a wasted trip.

Soon, the list of participants in this martial arts tournament was submitted.

Aside from those from minor sects and small factions, there aren't actually many truly strong individuals.

Only Six-Fingered Black Knight from the Mohist school participated in the battle, but he alone was enough.

Dongjun and Yueshen from the Yin-Yang School both signed up, while the other elders did not participate.

The Confucian school is quite peculiar. Despite being a powerful force that is in no way inferior to the Mohists and the Yin-Yang School, not a single member of them participated in this martial arts competition.

In Xunzi's words, he was a scholar who did not know martial arts.

His disciples, Han Fei and Li Si, needless to say, were also outstanding.

Besides these three, the rest were experts sent by the rulers of various countries.

The most attention-grabbing of all is that of the Qin state. King Ying Zheng of Qin personally came to Mount Taiyi to witness the covenant between heaven and man, and the person he sent was Gai Nie.

Looking at the long list, Chishongzi suddenly noticed the name at the very bottom.

Jimo Huaxue!

His eyes widened immediately.

He then found Bai Yuan and the others and asked them:

"Junior brother, what's going on here? You should know that the martial arts tournament is no joke. What if something goes wrong?"

Although they had set a rule against taking lives, in the actual competition, swords have no eyes, and they had no way of knowing whether accidents would happen. They could only do their best to avoid accidents.

"Don't worry, senior brother! Hua Xue is quite strong, so don't underestimate her. Of course, if anything happens, I will definitely take action immediately."

Bai Yuan replied with a smile.

Bai Yuan didn't ask Ji Mo Hua Xue to participate in the martial arts tournament; it was her own choice.

Having studied swordsmanship for over a year, almost two years, Ji Mo Hua Xue also wanted to know what level she was at in the martial arts world.

Besides, she also knew that Bai Yuan actually wanted to go and have some fun, but the Taoists had set rules that prevented him from participating, so she did this to stand in for Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan didn't object either. Opportunities to spar with different masters like this are rare, and they would be very beneficial to her.

However, Bai Yuan still curiously glanced at the list of contestants at Chi Songzi's place.

Finally, he revealed a strange expression.

"Hua Xue, guess who the Qi Kingdom sent to participate in this competition?"

"The State of Qi? I can't guess."

Ji Mo Huaxue shook her head slightly. There were too many forces coming to Taiyi Mountain this time, and she had been with Bai Yuan every day, so she hadn't bothered to find out who the various countries had sent.

"Your brother is among the Qi people participating this time!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this news, Ji Mo Huaxue's face lit up with joy.

"My brother also came to the Taoist temple? Then why didn't he come to see us?"

"I don't know about that, but I'm curious, what would it be like if you two met during a competition?"

Bai Yuan stroked his chin, beginning to look forward to the martial arts tournament.

Ji Mo Huaxue rolled her eyes at him when she heard this.

"If we really do meet during the competition, I will do my best to win! But it's best if we don't meet! Otherwise, he definitely won't be able to accept losing to his own sister!"

"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the side.

The visitor was none other than Ji Moyun.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, it's been a long time!"

He bowed to Bai Yuan, then looked at Ji Mo Huaxue.

"Little sister, I've remembered everything you just said. If we really meet on the field, I absolutely will not lose to you!"

Ji Moyun snorted, appearing very confident.

Ji Mo Huaxue smiled and nodded, not arguing with him.

"It seems your strength has improved a lot during this time!"
