Chapter Fourteen: A Blockbuster and a Big Competition Begins
The morning sun rises into the sky, lighting up the earth, and a new day arrives. This day is one of the most important days of the year for the Lu family. The entire Lu family is noisy and filled with a lively atmosphere, which makes both adults and children happy.
Lu Tianen brought Lu Ming and his family to the place of Dabi. The place was already crowded with people and very lively. The densely packed crowd covered an area of thousands of feet.
Although the Lu family has declined, it is still considered a big family in this county. Therefore, many nearby sects came to have a look, and even some big families and elders and heads of sects were invited to come and watch, which made it even more exciting.
The Lu family was full of excitement. Many casual cultivators also gathered to watch the Lu family competition.
A large platform with a radius of 1,000 feet is the battlefield for this Lu family competition. Around this platform, there are countless steps surrounding the platform. These steps are the seats. Many monks have already done this. Some monks are
The junior disciples who came with the invited families and sects were arranged in special VIP seats.
Looking at the boiling scene and the vast battlefield, Lu Ming took a deep breath. He had not participated in the competition for two years, and seeing this scene again would inevitably arouse a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.
He clenched his fists to suppress his inner excitement.
"You guys look around here. I have something to do with the clan leader. I'll see you later." Lu Tianen said to Lu Lin and the others.
"Well, third brother just goes to work." Lu Lin said with a smile.
"Ming'er and Yue'er, you go look around first, while your mother and I are going to meet some senior brothers and friends.
"Okay, you go, my brother and I are going to play." Lu Yue didn't dare to be too naughty because her parents were around. Now what Lu Lin said was exactly what she wanted. She had wanted to play for a long time but had no chance.
"Yue'er, please don't be naughty and don't cause trouble." Lu Ming's mother said.
"No way, mother." Lu Yue said while looking around for interesting places and sticking out her tongue.
"Brother, let's go over there and have a look." Lu Yue pointed to the northwest of the battle platform, which seemed more lively and crowded than other places.
This is a simple trading place. Since the competition has not yet begun, many monks, especially some casual cultivators and disciples from other sects and families gathered here, taking out some things they do not need or that are useful to themselves.
Take out the items you don't have and exchange them with others for what you need.
There was an endless stream of people exchanging goods here. It was very crowded and surrounded by many monks. Lu Ming and Lu Yue could only stand on the outside or squeeze in to see the items being traded.
Walking to a trading stall, a fiery red bracelet caught Lu Yue's attention.
"Brother, this bracelet is so beautiful." Lu Yue said while looking at the bracelet intently and shaking Lu Ming's hand.
I saw that this bracelet was round and moist, as bright as vermilion, as smart as water, as heroic as the starry sky, and as noble as a king.
The stall owner is a casual cultivator who looks to be about twenty years old, and his cultivation level is only about the fourth level of Qi training. "Brother, do you want to sell this bracelet?" Lu Ming also thinks that the bracelet is good and suits Lu Yue very well.
bring.
"Selling, but I want a fourth-grade elixir!" The stall owner said in a tone that did not allow rejection. Many people had seen this bracelet, but none of them bought it in the end. After seeing Lu Ming, he did not
I'm not optimistic that Lu Ming can come up with a fourth-grade elixir.
Fourth-grade elixirs are useful for anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage. Disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage basically don’t have them, so they’ve been left there so no one can buy them.
When Lu Ming heard this condition, he was stunned and frowned. Lu Yue pouted. She knew that Lu Ming did not have such a high-quality elixir.
"Brother, I don't want it anymore. Let's go look elsewhere." Although Lu Yue was extremely reluctant to give up, she understood the value of the fourth-grade elixir, not to mention that they didn't have any. She took Lu Ming's hand and walked to other places.
go.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Sister Lu Yue?" Just as Lu Ming and the others turned to leave, an evil voice came.
The person who came here was a very close friend of Lu Hao. He was Lu Zhen, the eldest disciple of the Third Elder. He was the same as Lu Hao. His cultivation was on par with Lu Hao, or even slightly higher. He heard that Lu Ming and
After the conflict with Lu Hao, he had always wanted to cause trouble for Lu Ming, but Lu Ming had never had a chance with the fifth elder. This time he caught him and came to make trouble.
More importantly, he heard that Lu Ming had practiced Dragon and Tiger Fist to the seventh level. He didn't believe it and even thought it was impossible.
"Hmph, ignore him, let's go." Lu Yue said to Lu Ming disgustedly after hearing this voice.
"Why, I heard that this loser has actually reached the seventh level of Dragon Tiger Fist, why do you want to escape?" Lu Zhen laughed when he saw Lu Ming and the others ignored him and just left.
"Hey, waste is always waste, how can a toad turn into a frog!" said a person standing next to Lu Zhen. This person is Lu Zhen's junior brother and is on the sixth level of Qi training.
Lu Ming didn't want to cause trouble, but at this moment he was surrounded by several fellow apprentices brought by Lu Zhen, blocking his way.
There were already a lot of people here, but when they saw a dispute happening here, more and more people gathered around here, including disciples of the Lu family, other sects, and casual cultivators.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Lu Zhen? His strength ranks among the top five among the younger generation of disciples of the Lu family. If Lu Ming offends him, I'm afraid there will be no good consequences." said a Lu family disciple.
The disciples of other sects, on the other hand, raised the corners of their mouths. They were very happy to see such a contradiction in the Lu family, and looked on with a cold eye. The other disciples of the Lu family also looked at it coldly. Only a few of them sympathized with Lu Ming.
.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Yue said with her face raised.
"Junior Sister Yue'er, tell me what you want, Brother Zhen, and I'll buy it for you, lest you follow a useless brother who can't even afford a bracelet!" Lu Zhen said to Lu Yue with an evil smile.
"Bah, you're a loser. Just because you want to be my brother? You don't deserve it!" Lu Yue said with her face raised, but she held Lu Ming tightly with her hand.
"I'm not worthy? Haha, what a waste, just call Brother Zhen and this fourth-grade elixir will be yours." Lu Zhen took out a elixir from his arms and held it in his hand, laughing proudly.
"Hmph, maybe it was stolen or robbed, I don't want it, and my brother will always be my brother, you are not worthy of carrying his shoes!" Lu Yue didn't even look at the elixir, and heard Lu Zhen always saying
She was very angry that Lu Ming was a waste, her face turned red, and she said angrily.
"Haha..." The other sects and casual cultivators on the side also couldn't stand Lu Zhen's arrogant words, and they all laughed after hearing Lu Yue's words.
"Say it again!" Lu Zhen heard the laughter of other monks and threatened Lu Yue with a chill in his voice.
"Just say it again and see what he can do to you!" Lu Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, looking at Lu Zhen with a cold look in his eyes.
When Lu Zhen saw Lu Ming's eyes, he suddenly felt a fear in his heart.
"You are not even worthy of carrying my brother's shoes!" Lu Yue said loudly with confidence after hearing Lu Ming's voice.
"Okay, good point." I don't know who was coaxing him, and the people around him started to boo.
"You are looking for death!" Lu Zhen punched Lu Yue in the chest.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit Lu Yue's chest, "Bang!" I saw a red shadow flash past, and a soft force collided with Lu Zhen's fist.
"Deng, Deng, Deng..." Lu Zhen took five steps back with a grim look on his face, and there was anger in his eyes.
The person who came stood motionless beside Lu Yue. The person who came was a beautiful girl, with a touch of anger on her beautiful and handsome face.
"Lu Hong!" The disciples of the Lu family and other sects all know this person. After all, she is the disciple of the head of the Lu family and has a good reputation.
"Senior sister, what do you mean?" Lu Zhen steadied himself and looked at Lu Hong with an unkind expression.
"I was ordered by Master to patrol here. It is strictly forbidden to use force here. And you actually used force against a little girl here. Don't be ashamed!" Lu Hong said unceremoniously.
"Humph, she doesn't know how to appreciate someone!" Lu Zhen said in a deep voice.
"I will report this matter to Master!" Lu Hong said angrily. Lu Zhen was having internal strife here and making other sects laugh. Lu Hong had long been dissatisfied. If it weren't for the upcoming competition, Lu Zhen's action just now would not have been done by Lu Zhen.
It was as simple as taking a few steps back, but it ended up hurting him.
"Hmph, let's go!"
"Lu Ming, don't meet me during the competition, otherwise I'll make you look good. I don't believe you can always stand behind a woman and let her protect you!" Lu Zhen looked back at Lu Ming and mocked viciously.
He led the visitor towards the crowd, after all, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to ignore the clan leader's orders.
Lu Ming gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to take action.
"Sister Yue'er, why are you here?" Lu Hong pinched Lu Yue's face and said lovingly.
Lu Yue told Lu Hong what happened just now. Lu Hong looked at the bracelet, his eyes suddenly lit up and he loved it.
"This is a fourth-grade elixir. I bought this bracelet." Lu Hong took out a fourth-grade elixir and handed it to the stall owner.
This incident originally started because of him, but he was surrounded by so many people that he couldn't retreat. A casual cultivator was powerless. If he was targeted by such a family, it would be troublesome, and he felt bitter in his heart.
After hearing what Lu Hong said, he hurriedly left after the exchange. On the one hand, he really didn't want to stay here to avoid getting into trouble again. On the other hand, he understood the principle of not leaking money.
Lu Hong held the bracelet with a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he quickly put away the reluctance and said, "Sister Yue'er, this bracelet is for you." Lu Hong handed the bracelet to Lu Yue.
"Sister Lu Hong, it doesn't matter if you don't want Yue'er. What you bought is yours. You don't need to give it to me." Although the reluctance in Lu Hong's eyes quickly disappeared, Lu Yue still noticed her.
"Take it, I'll buy it later." Lu Hong said while putting the bracelet on Lu Yue's wrist.
"Thank you, sister." Lu Hong showed a cute smile, and her two little tiger teeth were shining brightly.
"The fifth elder asked me to take you to him." Lu Hong said to Lu Ming and Lu Yue.
As soon as they reached a place not far from the elders' table, they heard three loud sounds of "Dang! Dang! Dang!", which shook the heaven and the earth.
Hearing these three loud noises, everyone knew that the competition had officially begun!
