After the eldest sister was reborn, she practiced both spiritual and martial arts

"Junior Sister Qingqing, please come and sit here. There are still seats available." Si Yiyi spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, and waved to Ye Qingqing, Sun Keke and the others with a smile.

Her face was filled with a warm smile, and her eyes revealed her love and welcome for Ye Qingqing and her fellow junior sisters.

When Ye Qingqing, Sun Keke and Ren Yanran heard Senior Sister Yiyi's call, they all raised their heads and looked in the direction of Senior Sister Yiyi.

When they saw Senior Sister Yi Yi, she smiled and waved at them, and the three of them immediately felt happy.

The three of them quickened their pace, with ecstatic smiles on their faces, and walked towards Si Yiyi impatiently.

"Hello, Senior Sister Yiyi, Senior Sister Hanhan, Senior Brother Lin, and all the senior brothers and sisters!"

Ye Qingqing was the first to walk to Senior Sister Yiyi, with a smile on her face, and greeted Senior Sister Yiyi and the brothers and sisters around her warmly.

Hearing Ye Qingqing's greeting, Lin Siqi, Senior Sister Han Han, and other senior brothers and sisters turned around and responded to her greeting with a smile.

Senior Sister Han Han and Senior Brother Lin Siqi’s eyes revealed their welcome to Ye Qingqing.

"Hello, senior brothers and sisters!" Sun Keke and Ren Yanran arrived soon after and responded in unison, their tone full of respect.

Si Yiyi and several fellow seniors felt particularly happy when looking at the three lovely little sisters in front of them.

Si Yiyi responded gently: "Please sit down quickly. Today is the competition between weapon cultivators and sword cultivators." As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted the empty seat next to her, motioning Ye Qingqing and the others to take a seat.

The other senior brothers and sisters also smiled and nodded at the three of them.

Ye Qingqing, Sun Keke and Ren Yanran walked obediently to their seats, sat down gently, and cast their eyes towards the competition venue in front of them.

"Qingqing, Yanran, look over there. Those people wearing green clothes are the Jianfeng disciples of our Qingyuan Sect. They are going to compete on the stage!" Sun Keke reminded excitedly.

Ye Qingqing looked in the direction of Sun Keke's finger, and saw a group of disciples wearing green clothes. They were walking towards the arena, emitting a sharp sword aura that made people shudder.

Ye Qingqing's heart moved. These people should be the elite disciples of Qingyuan Sect, right? I wonder how strong they are? Thinking of this, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Ye Qingqing suddenly thought of Yang Qianqian and Zhang Ruize, who were also disciples of Qingyuan Sect, and began to look for them in the crowd.

She remembered that Yang Qianqian had chosen to cultivate sword skills, while Zhang Ruize had chosen to cultivate weapon skills.

However, Ye Qingqing did not find either of them on the stage.

She frowned. Aren't they on this stage?

So, she turned her gaze to the area where the Qingyuan Sect disciples were below the arena.

Sure enough, she saw the figures of Yang Qianqian and Zhang Ruize below.

Yang Qianqian and Zhang Ruize were sitting there, watching the match on the ring with focused looks on their faces.

Ye Qingqing was very glad that when she met the two of them on the spirit boat before, she did not ask them whether they came to participate in the competition or to watch the competition. That would have been awkward.

Those who don’t know might think that I’m showing off that I can participate in the competition.

The sword cultivation competition is very simple, without so many complicated rules and conventions.

Before the competition, a draw will be made, and disciples who draw the same lot will become opponents.

This approach is fair and just, and also avoids some unnecessary disputes and troubles.

When Ye Qingqing fights with others, the weapon she usually uses is a long sword, so she always pays special attention to the competitions between sword practitioners and watches them very seriously.

As the host of this sect competition, Tianyuan Sect has made sufficient preparations to ensure the smooth progress of this event.

The spacious and open square can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, and there are dozens of arenas set up here, which means that many contestants can compete fiercely at the same time.

The competition among the alchemy disciples is scheduled for tomorrow.

There are more than ten sects, large and small, participating in the competition this time, but this does not include the descendants from the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the major families in the Northern Region, East Sea Region, Southwestern Region and other places.

These independent cultivators had already made arrangements with the large families in each region, and they did not need to fight for their own places in the competition through the sect competition.

On the first day, the competition between the sword cultivators and weapon cultivators was so exciting that it was a feast for the eyes.

The Tianyuan Sect demonstrated its powerful strength and won the first place; the Qingyuan Sect was not to be outdone and followed closely behind in second place.

However, the Lingxiao Sect from the East Sea performed well and almost defeated the Qingyun Sect to win the third place.

Unfortunately, it ended up being ranked third with a small gap, while Qingyun Sect regrettably ranked fourth.

Ranked fifth after Qingyun Sect is a less-noticeable small sect - Lingyuan Sect.

Next are some small sects such as Xuanji Sect and Shengyun Sect ranked in order.

This competition not only demonstrated the strength of the major sects, but also allowed them to see the rise of some new small sects.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the air was fresh.

Ye Qingqing was in a good mood as she followed Senior Sister Han Han and Senior Sister Yuan Shanshan to the competition arena for the alchemy disciples.

Along the way, Senior Sister Han Han encouraged her not to be nervous, to believe in herself, and to perform according to her usual alchemy level.

When she arrived at the lottery draw, Ye Qingqing drew her own number very calmly.

She found herself assigned to ring number 32, while her seat was number 17.

Senior Sister Han Han and Senior Sister Si Yiyi also drew their own numbers, but their numbers were relatively early, namely arena number nine and arena number fourteen.

Not long after, Ye Qingqing was pleasantly surprised to find that she and Senior Brother Xing Xu were drawn to the same arena, with only three or four people between them.

So she smiled at Xing Xu, and Xing Xu also smiled and nodded in response.

Soon the competition began, a sect competition, and at the beginning of the competition they were asked to refine the fourth-grade Dingyan Pill.

After hearing this question, Ye Qingqing remained calm.

Because she was already a seventh-grade alchemist, this was not the first time she had refined a fourth-grade elixir. She had refined fourth-grade elixirs many times before, and had also refined a fourth-grade Dingyan Pill.

However, she still took a deep breath, decided to take the competition seriously, then closed her eyes and recalled the steps of refining the Dingyan Dan in her mind.

"The first step is to sort the herbs and put them into the alchemy furnace in order. The second step is to cast a spell to start the spiritual fire to heat the alchemy furnace. The third step is to control the temperature and completely extract the impurities from the herbs..."

Ye Qingqing silently repeated these steps in her mind until she felt she could do it. She was already proficient enough to perform the entire process with her eyes closed.

She opened her eyes and started to operate.

Ye Qingqing carefully picked up the various medicinal materials, sorted them, and put them into the alchemy furnace according to the proportions. Then she cast a spell with her left hand to activate the spiritual fire and began to heat the alchemy furnace.

As the temperature rose, she felt the herbs she had put into the alchemy furnace gradually melting, and she could smell the fragrance emanating from the herbs.

Ye Qingqing stared at the alchemy furnace closely, constantly adjusting the temperature and the input of spiritual energy to ensure the smooth progress of the alchemy process.

In the process of refining medicine, every link is very critical. If you are not careful, it may lead to failure.

Therefore, Ye Qingqing was very serious. She focused her attention and did not allow herself to be careless at all.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, when the time of an incense stick was about to end, Ye Qingqing successfully refined a perfect fourth-grade Dingyan Pill.

This pill exudes an enchanting aroma, making people salivate.

She looked at her work with satisfaction, then turned to look at Xing Xu, only to see that he had also successfully completed the refining and also passed this round of competition.

They smiled at each other, their eyes full of confidence and expectation.

Next, the disciples who successfully refined the fourth-grade elixir continued to participate in the next round of competition, this time requiring them to refine the fifth-grade elixir.

The difficulty increased further, but these outstanding disciples did not back down and threw themselves into the intense process of alchemy.

After a while, the results of refining the fifth-grade elixir were revealed.

Some of the disciples succeeded in refining high-quality fifth-grade elixirs, while others were less successful.

After judging, only a few people can enter the next round of refining sixth-grade pills.

In the end, only a few of the top disciples were left to participate in the refining of the sixth-grade elixir, including Ye Qingqing and Xing Xu.

Ye Qingqing and Xing Xu achieved good results. Senior Sister Han Han, Senior Sister Yiyi and several other senior brothers and sisters also achieved good results.

Finally, after a thrilling final, a disciple from Tianyuan Sect successfully stood out and won the first place in the competition.

This disciple from the Tianyuan Sect, with his outstanding alchemy skills and superb control over the temperature, was able to refine sixth-grade elixirs of the highest quality with almost no impurities.

At the same time, Xing Xu and Ye Qingqing also performed well and won the third and second place respectively.

An hour later, the results of the other competitions came out, and the final results of the alchemy disciples were also announced.

Under the leadership of Senior Sister Han Han, Ye Qingqing and her friends have all made efforts for the sect's ranking.

However, despite this, Qingyuan Sect still lags behind Tianyuan Sect and ranks second.

After the alchemy competition ended, several competitions such as talismans, formations, beast taming, etc. were launched one after another in the next few days.

These competitions attracted the attention of many spectators, and disciples from all major and minor sects also tried their best to demonstrate their strength and skills.

In the talisman competition, the participating disciples on the stage show their understanding and mastery of talismans by drawing talismans.

Some talismans can release powerful forces that are amazing; others have special functions, such as healing wounds or improving cultivation.

The formation competition was even more exciting. The participating disciples demonstrated their understanding of the art of formation by arranging various wonderful formations.

Some formations can form a solid defensive barrier, some can trap the enemy, and there are even some formations that can trigger the power of heaven and earth, with astonishing power.

In the beast taming competition, disciples from various sects demonstrated their tacit understanding and control capabilities with the monsters.

Some disciples rode mighty mounts, while others drove various kinds of monster beasts, which was a feast for the eyes.

After a fierce competition among the participating disciples, the competition finally came to a successful conclusion.

The final result surprised everyone: the first place was actually Tianyuan Sect.

The second place is Qingyuan Sect.

The third place is not the Lingxiao Sect which has always been favored, but the Lingyuan Sect which came from behind!

Lingxiao Sect was only ranked fourth, while Qingyun Sect was ranked fifth.

This result caused an uproar, and people began to re-examine the strength and potential of each sect.

The victory of Tianyuan Sect proved that their overall strength was indeed superior, and the rise of Lingyuan Sect also made people see the rise of emerging forces.

For other sects, this competition undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them, prompting them to work harder to train their own disciples and improve the strength of their sects.
