i have a gold ingot

After the registration period ended, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to a boil. Amidst the cheers of the whole people, a magnificent and huge flying beast descended from the sky. Huayue, the current lord of Sky City, and her guards and maids made a gorgeous appearance.

Screams and cheers rang out, deafening.

On the high platform, the city lord Hua Yue personally rang the bell, which symbolized the official start of the annual "Qingyun Sacrifice" of Sky City.

The host is a thin, tall, middle-aged man with an average appearance, except for a pair of shining eagle eyes that is impressive. This is a person who makes people feel quite capable at first glance.Those boring and non-innovative opening remarks read from his mouth can actually make people feel innovative, interesting, and even blood-boiling.

"I declare—the annual celebration of Sky City, the 'Qingyun Festival', is officially open!"

The host smiled mysteriously and made a fool of himself, "We just got the latest news. This year's 'Qingyun Festival' will have a mysterious person participating. Who will win the championship? Let us wait and see!"

The crowd cheered, and the host had already pushed the atmosphere to a climax, but suddenly changed the tone and said cheerfully: "Of course, before announcing the task of clearing the first level, let us first thank the partner of the 'Qingyun Festival', Youjiaxiao Shop', thanks to Ms. Chen for her great support. All the relevant props of this "Qingyun Festival" are taken care of by "Youjia Xiaodian". Here, I have to say one more thing, "Youjia Xiaodian" produces high-quality products. Guaranteed, I heard that the 'Wu Shuang City Weapon' that has been making a lot of noise recently is the feedback celebration of the third anniversary of the opening of 'Youjia Xiaodian'."

At first, Jin Yuanbao and Lu Qianqian were both startled, wondering: Is the host advertising for 'Youjia Xiaodian'?Later, when he heard that all the relevant props for this celebration were provided by "Youjia Xiaodian", Jin Yuanbao silently gave Chen Yu a thumbs up in his heart.

Chasing Shadow: "Looking at the situation, 'Youjia Xiaodian' has already been recognized in Sky City, sir, don't worry too much."

Jin Yuanbao said with a smile: "Sister Yu is indeed amazing. However, I still want to see it with my own eyes so that I can rest assured."

How can it be so easy to climb to the top of the 'Qingyun Fortune List'.

But then, when the host announced the task of clearing the first level, more than half of the contestants' faces became very ugly, and there was a lot of mourning.

Only Jin Yuanbao, Lu Qianqian, and Zhuiying stayed where they were in a daze.

Jin Yuanbao: "Am I hearing hallucinations? The first level—cutting down trees?"

Lu Qianqian: "Cutting down trees can barely be considered a basic skill, and it can be regarded as a test of basic skills... right..."

Chasing Shadow: "Perhaps... isn't that an ordinary tree?"

"Aren't you from other places? You don't even know about the white jian tree." A young man standing in front of them looked back at them and said, "The white jian tree is a specialty of the City of Sky, and its only characteristic is that it is extremely hard. The best material for woodwork is its hardness, which makes it impossible for the top carpenter to do it."

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Jin Yuanbao who was the first to greet with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, it's our first time in the City of Heaven, and it coincides with your city's annual grand ceremony, so we came here because we wanted to join in the fun. Can you explain a little about the 'white wood' mentioned by Fellow Daoist just now?"

"My friend, you are welcome. Since this is your first time here, I am of course obliged to answer you one or two questions." The young man smiled, pointing to the entrance of the island in the island and said: "Actually, the island in the island of our Sky City Ah, there are heavy guards on weekdays. The defense is that the spirit beasts inside are afraid of running wild and hurting people. The island in the island is divided into outer and inner circles. It will also be quickly suppressed by the army."

Seeing that the other party intends to show off, Jin Yuanbao cooperated with a pleasant smile, and dubiously asked: "What does this have to do with the 'white jianmu' you mentioned earlier, fellow daoist?"

"It has a lot to do with it." The young man smiled knowingly, pointed to the entrance of the island in the middle of the island and said with satisfaction: "Because the white hardwood tree only grows at the junction of the inner and outer sides of the island in the middle of the island, let alone its hardness cannot be destroyed by superior monks." No, if you don’t carry it a little bit, and meet the spirit beasts in the inner circle looking for food, it will be really bad luck.”

"I see." Jin Yuanbao suddenly realized, and thanked the young man, "Thank you, fellow daoist, for clarifying the confusion." The other party waved his hand and smiled, signaling him not to say thanks.

"So why is this 'Baijianmu' so well-known? It seems that this first test is a test of one's skill and also depends on one's luck. If you are lucky, you just need to find a way to cut down the tree. If you are unlucky, you have to follow The ferocious spirit beast fights for three hundred rounds." Lu Qianqian pinched her chin and analyzed seriously, just as Chasing Shadow, who slipped to the front of the crowd to find out the truth, came back, she hurriedly asked: "How? What did you find out?"

Zhui Ying shook his head and said: "I didn't find out much, but I tried the white quebracho in a random way—it didn't cut it."

While talking, Zhui Ying handed the pair of knives he usually used to the two of them. Seeing that there were obvious traces of curling blades on them, the expressions of both of them changed at the same time.

Lu Qianqian: "It's no wonder that as soon as this topic came out, there was a lot of mourning! The hardness of the white hardwood is too scary!"

Jin Yuanbao looked at Zhuiying with a very ugly face and asked, "Sister Zhuiying, can you keep chopping?"

Glancing at the high platform, he was still holding a piece of white truss wood, talking and spitting, telling how the contestants of the "Qingyun Festival" in the past were all the hosts who passed five levels and cut six generals, chasing the shadow thoughtfully Said: "Not necessarily, I only tried it in a hurry, if I try my best, it is not difficult to cut it off."

Hearing this, Lu Qianqian's face changed suddenly, and she kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, even you have to use all your strength in the first level, isn't it even more perverted in the next level?"

Chasing Shadow: "This statement is wrong. The white sapwood is indeed indestructible, but if you can master the trick, it should not be difficult. But even if it is so, many people will be eliminated."

"That's not the point!" Lu Qianqian looked at the two seriously and said, "The point is—do you think she looks like someone who can chop down trees?"

——This is really a bit of a question.

"The treasurer."

A cold voice sounded from behind. Jin Yuanbao was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, his neck stiffened and he turned his head. Seeing that the person who came was the person who should have reported to the contestants assembly area, he calmed his heart and asked in a low voice: "Sister Kong Jing, why are you back?"

At that time, it was Lu Qianqian who thought that what he said just now had been heard verbatim was a cowardly comparison, and she hid behind Zhui Ying with a face full of despair and dared not come out.

Mo Kongjing: "The first level is to cut down trees."

Jin Yuanbao: "Ah, yes, we all heard that, what's wrong?"

Mo Kongjing raised his right hand in mid-air, shook it in the air, and said indifferently, "Can you lend me a sword first? I just tried that white hardwood, and it's a bit difficult to hack with bare hands."

"Wait--let me see your hand!" Lu Qianqian, who was timid just now, rushed over and grabbed the other's hand for a closer look, as if she had taken the wrong medicine.

If she hadn't done this, Jin Yuanbao wouldn't have noticed that Mo Kongjing's right hand raised in the air was already red, swollen and full of scars.

Jin Yuanbao was dumbfounded, feeling unbelievable, "Sister Kongjing, are you really——cutting trees with bare hands?"

It was the tree that Zhuiying hadn't cut down with his knife!

After receiving the other party's nodding answer, Jin Yuanbao no longer knew what expression to use to face her, but Lu Qianqian's expression could be described as furious, expressing the aspirations of the other three present, "Are you stupid?! "

But Mo Dashen, who is the protagonist, waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's not too late to mention these later, the competition is about to start, there is only half an hour, can any of you lend me a sword to split a tree?"

"Cut a tree with a sword? Elder sister, you can do it!" After Jin Yuanbao finished admiring him in awe, he then thought of the important point, "I only have an abacus that can barely be used as a tool. Sister Qianqian uses needles, and Zhuiying My sister uses a knife, where did you get the sword?"

"Sure enough, I can only chop trees with bare hands?" Mo Kongjing frowned, looked at his right hand and sighed regretfully, "It seems that I won't be able to hold a sword with my right hand in a short time."

Mo Dashen himself didn't think so, but the three people listening beside him were terrified. If you chop that kind of tree with bare hands, it will kill you!

"Wait! Wait, I have the sword. I've already expected this kind of situation and prepared it for you." Finally remembering this, Lu Qianqian hurriedly rummaged through her Qiankun bag, and finally He gave Mo Kongjing a sword that he brought out from the warehouse casually.

Seeing this, Jin Yuanbao and Zhuiying looked at each other and smiled. Don't look at this girl who is usually carefree and nervous, but she is always thoughtful and meticulous in doing things.

"The sword of Wushuang City?" Mo Kongjing looked a little hesitant when he saw the mark on the hilt, and he didn't move for a long time.

The second monk Lu Qianqian was puzzled and didn't dare to make any more noises, and Zhui Ying also took two steps back with a look of 'it's none of his business'.

Only Jin Yuanbao, who was determined to win the championship, bit the bullet and asked with a sneer, "Lengmei, ahem, Sister Kongjing, what's the problem?"

Mo Kongjing lowered his head and said lightly after a while, "The weapons of Wushuang City... are very expensive."

Jin Yuanbao was ashamed, and quickly waved his hands and said: "It's not expensive, I can afford it, you just have to show your power." Although I don't really expect you to be able to chop the white hardwood tree with a sword.

Mo Kongjing looked up at him for a moment, then nodded and looked away, striding towards the entrance of the island within the island.

At the same time, the host rang the bell, implying the official start of the long-awaited "Qingyun Festival" in Sky City.

Hundreds of larks spread their wings and soar, reporting in real time for the audience. A huge white cloth floats in the air, displaying a map of the entire island within the island. The inner and outer lines are yellow, and the aggressive spirit beasts are red dots. , the peace-loving spirit beast is the white dot, and the contestant is the blue dot.

Regarding this, Lu Qianqian shook her head in great disappointment and said, "It's impossible to tell who is who."

All the contestants have entered the island in the middle of the island one after another, and the host began to announce in a grand manner: "Please rest assured, the family members of the contestants, except for the real-time monitoring of the entire island in the middle of the island by a thousand larks, each contestant's There will be three soldiers behind us to protect us, no matter what happens, we can easily deal with it.”

The crowd cheered again.

Standing at the back of the crowd and looking forward on tiptoe, Lu Qianqian said with a face full of disbelief, "It's really easy to handle, so is that an accident?"

And Jin Yuanbao, who couldn't see in front of him even if he was on tiptoe, shook his head with a smile and said, "The show has begun."
