The sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air was right next to his ears. Yun Ling managed to dodge with a light step, but the arrow blade still scratched his left shoulder, leaving a deep bloody mark.
On the high platform, Master Nanfu of Xuanqing Peak pointed at the No. 2 arena and praised: "Senior Brother Shi Yu, this disciple on your peak is really good. He can use flower seeds to set up formations in battle before he has even established a foundation. His thinking is relatively ordinary.
People are a hundred times smarter, I wonder which senior brother would be lucky enough to accept her as his disciple?"
Although the status jade plaques of true disciples and ordinary disciples are similar, for Jindan Master, he can tell the difference at a glance.
"This girl's name is Liu Bizhi. She is the best among the new juniors in our Lingmu Peak. Senior Sister Shi Jin has already designated her as the true disciple. She will give her lots of advice on weekdays. When she returns from Longyou Secret Realm, she will be accepted into our sect."
Master Yu looked at Liu Bizhi and nodded secretly in praise.
"Oh, your surname is Liu? But the Liu family has good formation skills, so why didn't you go to Liuguang Peak?" Master Zhenhuai from Xunyang Peak asked curiously.
Master Shi Yu glanced at Master Qian Jing and said proudly: "She is a branch of the Liu family. When she entered the peak, Liuguang Peak did not choose her. In addition to her excellent formation skills, this woman's wood-type skills are very good.
In the future, with Senior Sister Jin’s teachings, I will definitely achieve success.”
Qian Jingzhen's face looked gloomy.
No wonder he is so depressed. The disciples recruited by Liuguang Peak all focus on the metal spiritual roots and practice more metal attack spells as their main focus and formation techniques as a minor.
However, in recent years, most of the disciples in the peak have put aside their strengths and focused on studying the formations, ignoring the most critical aspect of fighting as a monk.
As a result, Liuguang Peak's performance in the recent intra-sect competitions has been getting worse and worse. Among the top 100, the number of Liuguang Peak's disciples has been at the bottom, and the number is still declining.
It is really disappointing that there are such disciples who have good formation skills and good fighting skills, but they are not able to join the peak.
While several real people were talking, Yun Ling narrowly dodged the second arrow.
"It seems that this young disciple of Yuzhuofeng is going to suffer a loss." Master Nan Jin speculated.
In the Qi Refining Stage, the state of Dzogchen is one level higher than the tenth level of Qi Refining, not to mention that the spiritual power is also more pure.
If this young disciple of Yuzhuo Peak cannot break the formation quickly and continues to waste his spiritual power, he will definitely lose.
"We can't enter the fifth competition. It's a pity that Feng Linggen has good qualifications. My disciple Fei Ge entered the sect on the same day as her. Now she has reached the stage of perfection in the Qi Refining Stage. If nothing unexpected happens, she is sure to win the top ten.
"That matter," Master Zhenyan glanced at the expressionless Master Shuanying, and said gloatingly: "Senior Sister Mingying must supervise her disciples to practice. I heard that Junior Sister Mingli's eldest disciple didn't do anything until the day before the competition.
It’s worthy of breaking through the tenth level of Qi refining.”
Let you steal the disciples before and not teach them properly.
Look, none of them are promising, and this one has even gone missing.
It was his young disciple Fei Ge who was obedient and devoted himself to cultivation, and was the first to reach the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. If he hadn't taken care of Xiaobi within the sect, he would have already prepared to build the foundation.
"Ling'er only entered the sect to practice at the age of eight, and now he has advanced to the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage in just twenty-eight years. So what if he loses today, his achievements in the future will be higher than those of these disciples, and besides, he doesn't necessarily lose.
Right." Master Mingying sneered.
There is nothing to be proud of in achieving the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage using pills. This Zhenyan is not ashamed either.
All the real people were silent, focusing on watching the competition in each arena below.
What Master Mingying said was that most of the newly recruited true disciples came from a family of immortal cultivators.
Among the only four true female disciples, three have extraordinary backgrounds. They have been practicing since they were young and have no shortage of elixirs and magic weapons.
Only Yun Ling came from the secular world and had no support from his family. He was able to reach his current level of cultivation in just eight years. His cultivation speed was far faster than that of ordinary people. Even with excellent talent, it was not easy.
It's just a small competition during the Qi refining period, so don't worry so much, they are obsessed with it.
...
Yun Ling had never studied formations. The only common knowledge about breaking formations was from listening to Liu Yan's explanations during his training in Zhang'e Mountain.
In a moment, she had been attacked sixteen times. Her body was also scratched in three places by Liu Bizhi's green wood arrows, and blood was constantly oozing out.
She knew that her cultivation level was not as good as Liu Bizhi's, and if she continued to resist, her spiritual power would be exhausted first and she would be defeated.
The formation must be broken immediately.
Junior Brother Liu Yan said that each formation has a core and several formation eyes to support it. There are three ways to break the formation.
The first method is to consume it directly in the formation. The premise is that your spiritual power is deeper than that of the person setting up the formation, and it is enough to support the manpower of the formation. Obviously, it does not apply at this time.
The second method is to directly find the center of the formation and break it according to the formation rules. This requires the person who breaks the formation to have a high level of formation skills, at least to be on par with the person who set up the formation. She currently does not have this ability.
So she chose the third method, which was also the most difficult method, to destroy the formation eye.
This flower sea phantom formation requires at least six or more formation eyes and the spiritual power of the formation center to be formed.
Destroying a formation eye will not have much impact on the formation, because Liu Bizhi can repair it at any time.
The only way is to find enough formation eyes and break them at the same time, leaving Liu Bizhi with no time to repair the formation and break the formation.
If you make any mistakes, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Liu Bizhi's green wood arrows from outside the formation were attacking continuously. Yun Ling avoided them while using her spiritual sense to sense the spiritual energy in the formation.
If the formation eye needs to connect spiritual power with the formation center, the spiritual energy around the formation eye will inevitably fluctuate.
Perhaps because he had been using the Qin Dan Technique to refine pills these days, Yun Ling's spiritual awareness became extremely sharp, and he quickly found a location for the formation eye.
A few breaths later, when another wound appeared on her back, she finally found the six locations of the Flower Sea Fantasy Array.
Another arrow struck, and she leaned back to avoid it easily. The Qianyou Needle in her hand was divided into six parts and pierced directly into the six formation eyes.
In an instant, the sea of flowers disappeared, and Liu Bizhi's figure reappeared.
While she was still urging the green wood bow, Yun Ling stepped closer and the purple orchid hairpin hit her directly in the face.
Liu Bizhi hurriedly retreated to avoid it. The sea of flowers had disappeared and there was no longer a barrier.
But Yun Ling was approaching step by step, and she had no time to activate her spiritual seeds, so she could only use defensive weapons to resist, which was very embarrassing.
Yun Ling knew that if he wanted to win this battle, he had to fight quickly and not give Liu Bizhi a chance to breathe.
She mobilized the purple orchid hairpin with all her strength, and struck directly at the weakest point of Liu Bizhi's defense like lightning.
Liu Bizhi activated the magic weapon and was unable to resist, and the hairpin sank directly into her left shoulder.
When she was injured and slow to move, Yun Ling was already in front of her, whispered "offended" in a low voice, and the wind blade turned into a palm and pushed her directly off the ring.
Yun Ling also flew off the ring the next moment, helped Liu Bizhi who fell to the ground, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Liu."
Compared with the scratches on her body, Liu Bizhi's injuries were much more serious.
"Junior sister Yun, there's no need to be sorry. Injuries in the ring are inevitable." Liu Bizhi smiled generously and said goodbye directly.
"Yuzhuo Peak, Yun Ling wins!" Master Jindan on the stage judged.
"Junior sister, go back and heal your wounds quickly."
Luo Ninghuan personally sent her back to the cave.
Fortunately, although her wounds were many, they did not hurt her vitals. After taking a healing pill, she only needed to meditate for a few days, and the wounds would heal on their own.
...
Early the next morning, there was Luo Ninghuan's match, and Yun Ling went there early to watch.
Luo Ninghuan was lucky. She met a male cultivator from Xunyang Peak who was seriously injured. After the two fought for a while, the male cultivator's injuries worsened and he had no choice but to jump off the ring and admit defeat.
In the fifth game, Yun Ling met a senior fellow from the inner peak of Xuanqing Peak, who had dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, amazing defense, fierce attacks, and a perfect level of cultivation during the Qi Refining Period.
In the end, the purple orchid hairpin was completely damaged, and she narrowly lost the battle after losing half of her fortune, but suffered considerable internal injuries.
In the sixth game, I met a senior fellow from Xunyang Peak, who was also in the state of Dzogchen in the Qi Refining Stage.
She thought she was bound to lose, but as soon as her opponent came on stage, he vomited blood and fell to the ground, and was helped off the stage by his fellow competitors.
