Chapter 121: Arena
Chapter 121: Arena
When putting Little Golden Peach into the spirit beast bag, it was a little reluctant at first and refused to go in. But after Jiang Liqian put a bunch of spirit fruits and the cakes given to it by the junior brother, Little Golden Peach hummed and agreed reluctantly.
However, the space inside is indeed large, and the spiritual energy is abundant. In addition, it is close to Jiang Liqian, which makes it more convenient for it to use its luck to practice. Xiao Jintao is also quite satisfied.
After finishing the matter with Xiao Jintao, Jiang Liqian talked with her third senior sister for a while, then went back to the room to continue practicing.
She has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and has already touched the barrier of the seventh level. As long as she has some more time, it will not be difficult to break through successfully.
With the Thousand Marrow Stone given by her master, she was not afraid that her cultivation level would improve too quickly and attract prying eyes. However, she was still uneasy when she entered into meditation this time. She came out of meditation in a cold sweat several times, staring blankly at the twinkling stars outside the window, and understanding the cycle of things.
Is her destiny beginning to change?
-
The atmosphere in the second half of the quiz was much more lively than the first half of the written test. Although everyone was still a newbie who had just entered the immortal sect and did not know many techniques, their interest in cultivating immortals was at its strongest and most enthusiastic, and everyone felt that they would be the one destined to become an immortal.
The huge arena was already surrounded by Qimingzhai's disciples.
When Jiang Liqian climbed up the mountain, Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er had already arrived. They crowded at the front of the arena, looking curiously at the rows of magical weapons displayed on the arena. Their two pairs of eyes looked left and right, full of curiosity.
The other disciples were the same as them.
"Look, look, that trident, wow, it looks so heavy, is there anyone who can lift it? And that, what's the name of that magic weapon, it looks so strange!" Shui Lian'er excitedly pulled Qin Beiyao's sleeve.
This was the first time Qin Beiyao had seen such a scene. He had also never seen many of the magical weapons on it. When Shui Lian'er asked him about it, he couldn't answer.
Shui Lian'er simply asked, not expecting an answer. Instead, the disciple beside her spoke up, "That's the Thousand Machine Fan. Although it's only a low-grade magical weapon, it's very powerful and has enough spiritual energy. If you nurture it with spiritual energy, it's not impossible to upgrade it."
Shui Lian'er was curious about who knew so much about these magical instruments, so she turned her head to look and saw that it was a half-familiar person.
"Zhao Zhang, it's you!"
Zhao Zhang smiled at her and said, "Thank you for finding books for me when I was copying books in Lanxing Pavilion last time. I really like the "Collection of Artifacts"."
Shui Lian'er waved her hands quickly. She caught a glimpse of Jiang Liqian outside the crowd and pushed her way over to Zhao Zhang. "You misunderstood. I'm not much of a reader. I don't even know which column or row the book is in. Liqian told me where it was. I happened to be going to get another one, so I helped you get it."
Zhao Zhang naturally knew Jiang Liqian. There was probably no one in Qimingzhai who didn't know this disciple who was given special "care" by the master of the zhai.
But before, she sat in the corner, looking like someone who kept strangers away. Except for talking to her good friends Qin Beiyao, Shui Lian'er, and her junior brother, she was indifferent to other people. Although not as cold as ice, she was very distant, as if there was an invisible barrier between her and everyone.
If she doesn't get close, no one else can get close.
Zhao Zhang really didn't expect that the interesting book was actually picked out by her for him.
He immediately bowed to her and thanked her.
Jiang Liqian waved her hand, refusing his gift. It was just a small favor, and knowing that Zhao Zhang was obsessed with refining equipment, she let Shui Lian'er give him the book.
But for Zhao Zhang, this was a great favor, so he naturally wanted to thank him. After the two sides pushed and refused, the second half of the martial arts test officially began.
In order to prevent the disciples who come on stage from shining brightly due to their family background or the natural talents given by their master, instead of relying on their own real talents and knowledge, which would cause unfairness to other disciples who do not have any background, all disciples who come on stage must use the magic tools provided by the arena.
Some disciples wailed immediately when they heard the rule being announced, while others remained calm and made preparations secretly.
Jiang Liqian's gaze fell on Cao Xian in the corner.
From the moment Cao Xian entered with a group of people, she felt something was wrong with him.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
If you think about it carefully, although Cao Xian relies on being the youngest son of an outer sect elder to act tyrannically and domineeringly, he is not a completely brainless person.
No matter what, she was still Zhen Feng's direct disciple. Even if she wanted to avenge the ceremony of accepting him as a disciple and the humiliation suffered by his brother, he should not openly cause trouble for her before she was fully grown.
If an outer disciple and a direct disciple fall out, no matter where they go, they will never get away with it.
Before, she found it troublesome and just wanted to see her mother for the last time, so she just followed her and accepted his challenge without thinking about it. Now it seems that he must have some backup plan that made him so confident.
Moreover, this backup plan can be used even without using one’s own magic weapon.
Thinking of this, she secretly became cautious.
She was not particularly interested in the ranking in the martial arts competition. She did not want to do anything that would attract attention. It would be best if the entire Qiankun Sect could ignore her.
But Jiang Yueming threatened to expel her from the sect. She was just a small disciple now and could not defeat him, so she could only do what he said.
She must be the first place in this competition.
In the past and present life, it was always her.
"The 1,311th Qimingzhai martial arts test has officially begun. Each disciple, please proceed to the golden lotus on the right side of the arena and draw the petals corresponding to the numbers. Then, proceed to the stage in order and demonstrate your abilities since joining the academy."
All the disciples became excited. Looking at the fighting arena rising high from the ground, they were all eager to try and couldn't wait to draw their own petals.
Shui Lian'er took the number 200, Qin Beiyao was closer, with the number 57, and he was the last one to take it after Jiang Liqian and the others had left.
The number above is magnificent - three hundred and seventy-four.
Except for Xu Youan who was in seclusion, he was the last one.
"What a coincidence! You're actually in last place right now." Cao Xian appeared behind her with his men, taunting her like a dog-skin plaster. "I guess this is a sign from heaven. You'll be last in this competition, too, right? What do you think, Junior Sister Jiang?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly, and Shui Lian'er was so angry that she was about to argue with him again.
But he was stopped by Jiang Liqian.
She took a step forward, and her cold gaze fell on his face, which made Cao Xian inexplicably flustered and he took a step back unconsciously.
"Cao Xian, you and I entered the sect at the same time, and we took classes at Qimingzhai on the same day. Yet you always call me 'Junior Sister'. Is this also the good manners your kind father taught you?"
