Shen Tingsong rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Ten-thousand-year-old Tai Sui, a rather valuable spiritual plant."

"Oh~"

Qi Jue suddenly realized.

Spiritual plants also have their own flowering season. This ancient Tai Sui is obviously about to bloom, and two golden-armored scorpions are guarding it day and night.

Qi Jue couldn't help but glance at Shen Tingsong's thin and frail body.

After a few seconds, the boy hesitated, then spoke frankly: "You want to go and fight two Nascent Soul stage demon beasts for the spiritual plant?"

Shen Tingsong: "..."

In other secret realms, the Medicine King Sect would cooperate with some sword cultivators. Shen Tingsong only needed to stand outside and wait, and a sword cultivator who had received money would hand him the spiritual plants.

But this is the Five Sects Grand Competition, and people aren't allowed to come in.

Shen Tingsong looked a little aggrieved, pursed his lips, and honestly said, "I want it."

Qi Jue looked to the left, then to the right, as if he had a bad feeling.

The boy pointed to himself, puzzled. "Should I help you carry it? I'm just passing by..."

Shen Tingsong tried to tempt him: "I'll treat you to dinner."

For the first time, Qi Jue was immune to this remark. He frowned with disdain, pinched his nose, and waved his hand, saying, "Your Medicine King Sect's medicinal cuisine? I think we should skip it..."

Shen Tingsong: "Anything is fine with me."

The boy's brows relaxed, and he was clearly a little tempted.

However, after thinking about it again, he had to admit that the medicinal cuisine of the Medicine King Sect was quite potent. After eating the medicinal cuisine, the taste of other foods changed for the disciples of the Medicine King Sect.

Qi Jue tentatively asked, "What do you think of the food at the Wind and Thunder Sect?"

Shen Tingsong frowned in confusion: "It tastes awful."

The Sect Master of the Wind and Thunder Sect: "???"

Qi Jue then asked, "What about the Wuji Sect?"

It's inevitable that the various sects will have some private interactions. Shen Tingsong had stayed at the Wuji Sect for a few days and had some vague impressions of it. He nodded and said, "The Wuji Sect's food is alright, but the presentation of the dishes is a bit ugly."

Sect Master of Wuji Sect: "!!!"

Qi Jue instantly recognized the youth syndrome and felt even more disgusted.

The boy hesitated slightly: "Why don't you try giving me money?"

Shen Tingsong, looking rather dull, shook his head honestly after less than half a second of thought, laid out the rules of the Five Sects Competition, and pointed to a clause that had been in place for a long time, which clearly stated: [Private bribery of other contestants is prohibited.]

"!!!"

Qi Jue exclaimed in surprise, "You really are very clever!"

Shen Tingsong asked in confusion, "Isn't that wrong?"

Shen Tingsong said with a stern face, "We should abide by the rules."

Qi Jue looked up at the screen with three question marks: "You treating me to dinner doesn't count as a bribe?"

"..."

Shen Tingsong lowered his head and thought about it, and it seemed that the other party had a point.

He was somewhat embarrassed.

The young man was not good at communicating with people, so he seemed a little confused when asked this question. After a while, he finally looked up and asked, "Then... we're not inviting you?"

Qi Jue: "???"

A noise came from not far away.

Qi Jue instantly became alert, grabbed Shen Tingsong, and flew into the air using the Du'e Sword.

A cold, dark sword brushed past him.

"Who?"

Qi Jue turned around and saw an unfamiliar young sword cultivator.

Shen Tingsong said, "Judging from their attire, they should be from the Yuntian Sect."

Yuntian Sect?

Qi Jue remembered this sect, which was second only to the Five Sects in status. The sect was full of sword cultivators, and this time they signed up thirteen teams, so they were obviously well-prepared.

The leader was named Li Huan, and like him, he was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Lingxiao Sect? And Medicine King Sect?"

Li Huan was very interested in this new combination, and licked his lips: "Want to play?"

There were about ten people on the other side.

Qi Jue looked at himself, then at Shen Tingsong, who was essentially a burden.

The boy shrugged, took out the token, and showed it to the other person the clean two hundred points on it.

Qi Jue: "The two of us together get 300 points."

One hundred points were also contributed by the Qingyun Sect disciple who blocked the way.

Li Huan is a person who loves to fight. His idol is Ye Jin, and he dreams of fighting Ye Jin.

Their sect was quite far away, and a group of teenagers had traveled a long way to get here. They finally met their idol face to face, but their idol died shortly after they entered the secret realm.

Li Huan was very dissatisfied and his urge to fight was burning. He said, "I don't care how many points you have!"

Li Huan wanted it, and Li Huan got it.

The young man drew his sword and rose up, the longsword in his palm instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and charged fiercely towards Qi Jue.

"!"

The audience was greatly shocked.

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect said, "This is the Ice Soul Sword, the most precious treasure of Yuntian Sect. I never expected it to fall into his hands."

Ice Soul can be considered a demigod sword, but it is still a level below the Sword of Salvation, though it is still a rare treasure.

The temperature suddenly dropped, and the sword intent, imbued with frost, enveloped the two of them. His attack was extremely simple, yet it possessed tremendous power.

Qi Jue stepped aside and tossed Shen Tingsong upwards.

The Innate Qi Formula begins.

A green light shield blocked the sword strike.

Du'e changed positions in mid-air and brought Shen Tingsong back with him.

Shen Tingsong: "..."

Shen Tingsong said, "How about you put me down?"

Qi Jue: "It's not high, jump yourself."

He nodded and mimed a standing long jump.

Looking down, he saw a group of Yuntian Sect sword cultivators sharpening their knives, waiting for him, this little lamb to the slaughter.

"..."

Shen Tingsong stopped throwing and stood up straight obediently: "You can keep throwing."

These teenagers may seem fierce, but they are actually quite polite.

They clearly had more than a dozen people, enough to easily surround and attack Qi Jue and Shen Tingsong.

But instead of ganging up on them, they politely lined up below, obediently watching the spectacle.

Qi Jue's mind stirred, and he seemed to have a different idea.

"There are two golden-armored scorpions over there."

He kindly introduced the situation to his subordinates: "I'll leave it to your senior brother. You all go and fight the monsters, don't waste your time."

"..."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

A few seconds later, a clever swordsman in the crowd looked up expectantly: "You're actually a pretty nice person~"

The sect reflects the senior disciple's character.

The Yuntian Sect members are all hot-headed sword cultivators who love to fight, and their idol is Ye Jin.

The group exchanged glances, seemingly finding his suggestion excellent, and skipped over.

In less than ten seconds, the Golden Armored Scorpion sent a group of people flying.

The Cloud Heaven Sect Master, who was away from the sect, remained silent.

Since they were all from the same sect circle, Cheng Jiangui greeted them amicably, saying, "Your disciple is quite courageous, huh?"

Sometimes, "courage" isn't a compliment.

The sect leader of Yuntian Sect was suddenly in the spotlight and was somewhat flattered.

He fiddled with the hem of his clothes, rushed over, and grabbed Cheng Jiangui's hand...

Ye Jin, standing beside him, excitedly said, "Ye Jin, I like you so much!"

Nightfall: "???"

Cheng Jiangui: "????"
