Drunk Immortal Gourd

It was time for the inner court competition. Chen Biwang and Lu Dingshan came together. Lu Dingshan finally broke through to the late stage of Qi refining last year and became an inner court disciple. Now his cultivation is at the seventh level of Qi refining. He is almost at the bottom among the disciples in the inner courtyard. It is impossible to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill. His purpose is to watch the fun and prepare for the future.

Lu Dingshan is ten years older than Qingyang, and is now forty-six years old. In ten years, it will be difficult to improve his cultivation to Qi Refining Perfection, which means that in the next term, Lu Dingshan may not be able to achieve it. For the Foundation Establishment Pill, if we push it back ten years, it will be sixty or seventy years old. I don’t know if there is still a chance.

Not only Lu Dingshan, Chen Biwang is in a similar situation. He has recently broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining, but with his strength, he will definitely not be able to defeat those veteran Qi Refining Perfection disciples, which means that he will definitely not get the Foundation Establishment Pill this time. , as for ten years later, who knows what will happen?

As his best friend, Qingyang didn't want to see the two of them lose the opportunity to build a foundation, but he didn't have a foundation building pill yet, so naturally he couldn't care about them. It is better to wait until you have the ability in the future and your alchemy skills have further improved, and then consider whether you can help others.

Qingyang had already made preparations, and then the three of them went to the competition ground in the center of the inner courtyard. Since it was a grand event held once every ten years and related to the future of the inner courtyard's disciples, most of the inner courtyard's disciples came. Of course, there are also a small number of people who did not come. Some disciples knew that they were not strong enough and it would be embarrassing to participate. There were also some who went out to do errands but did not return, or simply stopped coming when the time came for a breakthrough, but the number was not very large.

More than 900 disciples from the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall came. In addition to the organizers, referees, supervisors of the inner courtyard competition, and the disciples from other courtyards who were allowed to come and watch the excitement, at least a thousand people gathered in the area of ​​the inner courtyard competition ground. There were so many people, and the whole scene looked extremely lively.

Qingyang has long understood the rules of the inner courtyard competition. It is the most cruel knockout competition. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated. The grouping method is also very fair. It relies on drawing lots. Whoever is caught will be in the same group. Competition. If you are unlucky and the two strongest people are assigned to a group, the loser will still be eliminated and you will not be given a second chance.

There are a total of ten rounds in the inner courtyard competition, and the number of places is 1,024. However, the total number of disciples in the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall is only about a thousand. Excluding those who do not participate in the competition due to various reasons, in fact, there are only 1,000 people who sign up each time. There are only more than 800 people, and the missing spots can only be replaced by empty draws, so there is a high chance of a bye in the first round. Even if the strength is low, it is possible to advance to the second round.

However, the game ultimately depends on strength. Even if you get a bye in the first round, the opponents you encounter later will become stronger and stronger. There are no loopholes to exploit. No matter how lucky a person is, he cannot always encounter strong opponents. For poor people, it is useless to take chances.

There are too many people participating in the competition, and the competition field in the inner courtyard only has ten arenas. In one day, there are only about a hundred competitions. Considering that the subsequent competitions will be more brutal and require a certain amount of time to heal and repair, so The entire inner court competition process is very long. According to the arrangement of the inner court, it takes almost three months to complete all the competitions, which is almost ten days.

Qingyang and others were participating for the first time and had little experience in this. They signed up at the registration point first, and then didn’t go anywhere, just waiting nearby to watch the excitement. There were too many people. It took two or three hours to register for so many inner court disciples. After half a day, the registration was completed. The three of them drew lots directly at the registration point and allocated the sessions. The task for the day was over.

The competition started on the second day, with ninety games every day, for a total of six days. Lu Dingshan caught the number 123, and the competition was scheduled for the third day. The other person who caught this number was also a Lian. Qingyang, a seventh-level Qi disciple, caught number 356. The competition was scheduled for the fifth day. His opponent was an eighth-level Qi refining disciple. Chen Biwang caught No. 460. The competition was on the last day. , but he was lucky. The other number 460 was not caught, which meant that he had a bye in the first round and could advance without having to compete.

Once you have determined the time and number of games, the rest is very simple. You don’t have to come at other times. You just need to remember your number and time and don’t miss the game.

Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang may have been exhausted from practicing in seclusion every day, or they may have wanted to learn more about other people's competitions, so for a period of time afterwards, the two of them reported to the inner court competition field almost every day, starting in the morning At night, there was almost no one left behind. It didn't take long for them to know some of the outstanding disciples in the inner courtyard of the two teams.

Qingyang did not join in the fun. He practiced step by step in his small courtyard for the past few days. He only went there on the fifth day when it was his turn to compete.

When he was at the eighth level of Qi refining, Qingyang could defeat Liang Yudong who was at the ninth level of Qi refining. Not to mention that now his cultivation level has been upgraded to the ninth level of Qi refining. His strength is the top in the entire Qingfeng Palace, so that refining Opponents at the eighth level of Qi pose no threat to him.

Qingyang took care of his opponent's face and did not use his killing moves as soon as he made a move. He first struggled with the opponent for a while and figured out the opponent's path, and then suddenly showed off his power and knocked that person off the ring.

Although he won so easily, Qingyang was not complacent, because he knew very well that the first few games were just a formality for a disciple of his strength, and the real difficulty was in the subsequent games. During the competition, Qingyang used some conventional methods. He did not use powerful attacks such as the three-yuan sword formation and the four-yuan sword formation. He also did not ask the alcoholic bees to come out to help. This was also to avoid exposing his strength in advance and increase himself. What a chance of winning.

Different from Qingyang, Lu Dingshan's first game was extremely difficult. Both of them were seventh-level Qi Refining monks and had just entered the inner courtyard. They were of equal strength. They fought hard from beginning to end. After more than an hour, even the referee became a little impatient, and then the winner was decided.

In the end, Lu Dingshan defeated his opponent with superior skills, but he also suffered a serious injury, which may even affect the second game. But Lu Dingshan doesn't mind this. For him, being able to advance in the first round has exceeded his expectations, and the purpose of training has been achieved.

Needless to say, Chen Biwang had a bye in the first round and was promoted directly without having to compete. All three of them advanced to the second round, which is a rare good thing. For this reason, Lu Dingshan made a special request and invited them to join the sect. The only spiritual food restaurant celebrated.
