In the spacious and clean guest room, Bai Qingzhou sat beside the bed, looked at the unconscious Ruan Xiuqi, breathed out gently, and finally felt relieved.
At this time, Ruan Xiuqi's face was rosy, his breathing was steady, his arms had returned to normal, and he seemed to be fine.
"It's okay. Elder Nie has given him the [Qi Nourishing Pill], and he should be able to get up tomorrow." Zhang Zhiyan, who was standing behind him, said softly.
[Qi-Nourishing Pill] is a first-level elixir whose main function is to warm and nourish the spiritual energy in the body. It is very effective when taken when the spiritual energy is chaotic.
"Well, let's go out." Bai Qingzhou nodded, stood up and covered Ruan Xiuqi with the quilt, and then the two of them exited the room.
The moon is sparse, and the noise in the front yard of the restaurant cannot affect the back yard because of the sound insulation. The quiet environment makes people feel comfortable.
"Qingzhou, let's have a good rest. There will be a big battle tomorrow." Zhang Zhiyan glanced at Bai Qingzhou and said slowly.
"Okay..." Bai Qingzhou said softly, "By the way, senior sister, are you confident in tomorrow's competition..."
Now that the top four have emerged, the four members are currently Xuanyang Sect, Qingshan Sect, Wuji Sect, and Iron Bone Sect. Everyone has performed very well, which makes Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but worry about Zhang Zhiyan.
Zhang Zhiyan thought for a while and replied in a low voice: "If we face Meng Yangyu, we might have a chance. The other two... can't."
She is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Among the other three, only Meng Yangyu is at the eighth level, and the remaining two are at the ninth level. After calculation, it seems that only against Meng Yangyu does she have a small chance.
"The battle for shops in Fangshi is indeed extremely fierce." Bai Qingzhou exhaled and sighed softly.
The competition in the later stage of Qi refining is the focus of this arena competition. After all, the reward for the top three is the store in Shuiyingfang.
As long as a shop is run properly, it may be able to earn hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones every year, so whether you are a casual cultivator or a sect, you have to fight for it desperately.
"What about you?" Zhang Zhiyan asked suddenly. "What are the chances of winning tomorrow?"
"Me?" Bai Qingzhou recalled the other four people who successfully advanced in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and said bitterly: "The four of them are at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I am the only one at the fifth level. Maybe the chance is not very great..."
"Hey..." Zhang Zhiyan sighed softly. This situation was not optimistic for the Xuanyang Sect. "It's okay. Just like the leader said, we just do our best."
"It can only be this way."
"Go to rest early and adjust your body so that you can fight tomorrow." Zhang Zhiyan looked at Bai Qingzhou's face with warm eyes.
Bai Qingzhou nodded, "Okay!"
A night of silence.
The next day.
"Everyone, today is the last day of competition. The first one is the middle stage of Qi Refining. There are still five people. There will be two rounds of competition later, and the remaining one will have a bye."
The foundation-building monk took the stage and announced today's rules.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou was overjoyed. He never imagined that it would be possible to reach the top three directly.
And everyone in the audience also made a noise when they heard it.
"You actually get a bye? There can't be any shady story..."
"That's right! I'm sure the Wuji Sect has an internal quota!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! If Wuji Sect hears it, you will be dead!"
There is still a bye until now, which makes many casual cultivators think that this is a secret operation of Wuji Sect.
But what is unexpected is that after two games, it was Xuanyangmen’s Bai Qingzhou who finally got the bye!
This caused the monks who initially shouted about the shady story to slap each other in the face.
Bai Qingzhou shouted in his heart that time will come. Although the top three in the middle stage of Qi refining did not have store rewards, they had abundant spiritual stones and a magical weapon, which made him very excited.

Then came the competition in the later stage of Qi refining. After two rounds of screening, the remaining four people were all the best among them. The battle between several people was extremely fierce.
However, Xuanyang Sect's luck seemed to have been spent by Bai Qingzhou, and the final result of the draw was not what Zhang Zhiyan had hoped for. Instead of meeting Meng Yangyu, who was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she drew the strongest Wuji Sect disciple, Zhang Qing.
All.
The result was as expected. Zhang Qing was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining and was only one step away from building the foundation. He also had many spells and magical weapons. Although Zhang Zhiyan gritted his teeth and persisted, he still could not shake the final result. They were defeated and the top four were defeated.
Out.
But the result of the second game was beyond everyone's expectations. Meng Yangyu, who was on the eighth level of Qi Refining, actually defeated Lu Jingyi, who was on the ninth level of Qi Refining, achieving an example of a leapfrog battle in the later stage of Qi Refining.
This splendid battle left everyone mesmerized and excited, and many casual cultivators who had lost all their fortunes shouted for a match-fixing, making all kinds of ugly appearances.
But everyone remembers this fierce man with a simple sword, and it was he who established the reputation of the Qingshan Sect.
After the dazzling battle in the late stage of Qi refining, it was the turn of the dull early stage of Qi refining, which caused the atmosphere in the field to drop slightly and become deserted.
Bai Qingzhou didn't want to pay attention anymore. He sat in the waiting area and breathed, closed his eyes and rested, quietly waiting for his battle.
After waiting for a full hour, the middle-aged monk came on stage again.
After looking around, he said loudly:
"There are only three people left in the middle stage of Qi refining. Next, there will be a two-by-two duel. The one who wins two games will get the first place."
"The first game... Xuanyangmen Bai Qingzhou vs. San Xiu Ye Yin!"
Hearing his name, Bai Qingzhou slowly stood up.
"Be careful, Qingzhou..." Zhang Zhiyan said softly.
"I will!" Bai Qingzhou nodded heavily, then bowed his hands to the leader, then stepped onto the stage and jumped onto the ring.
Landed steadily on the ring.
Looking at the middle-aged monk in black clothes opposite him, this was the first time Bai Qingzhou looked at him up close. His body was thin, his eyes were sharp and fierce, and he had a fierce aura about him, as if he was ready to attack at any time.
beast.
Ye Yin, a first-level casual cultivator, relied on his extremely strong swordsmanship to survive and defeat several disciples of the sect, and staged comebacks many times. He was a dark horse in this tournament, and many casual cultivators were interested in him.
Love and hate.
It is said that he was a monk who came here from Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is a chaotic area with numerous sects and sects attacking each other. Killing people and seizing treasures is commonplace. Ye Yin came from Yunzhou and brought with him the aura of decisive killing.
However, after he entered the scope of the Wuji League, he entered the market very honestly. He did not cause any trouble in the past seven or eight years. He just worked diligently to fight monsters every day. Therefore, after review, the Wuji League allowed him to
Got the spot for this competition.
Who knew that he would become an instant success as soon as he entered the competition.
Feeling Ye Yin's momentum, Bai Qingzhou touched his chest: It's time to use the [Gravity Talisman]...
"Let's buy Ye Yin in this round!"
"Well, his murderous aura is unparalleled by disciples of these sects who have never seen blood."
"Everyone from the Xuanyang Sect is going to show up now..."
Everyone off the court was quite optimistic about Ye Yin's strength.
But there was a male monk in the crowd who was carrying a silver sword and was thoughtful, and then he pressed the few spiritual stones he had on Bai Qingzhou.
Bai Qingzhou naturally heard these discussions, but he was completely unmoved. He just stared at the lean man opposite, waiting for the middle-aged foundation-building monk to announce the start.
Didn't wait much...
"Start!" a loud shout came out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingzhou stood up
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He first took a defensive talisman on himself, and a yellowish light shield immediately enveloped Bai's side. It was an [Earth Shield Talisman]!
[Earth Shield Talisman] A yellow-level middle-grade defensive talisman. Its defensive ability is several times better than [Water Air Shield]. This is the talisman at the bottom of Bai Qingzhou's box.
Ye Yinren didn't say much, but when he heard the beginning, he raised his sword and charged directly with sharp eyes.
Naturally, Bai Qingzhou did not give in. His spiritual energy was input into his right hand, and the [Shangqing Sword] danced in his hand. The sword light shot out in all directions, forming a shield around him at such a fast speed. It was exactly the first of the "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" that was used with all his strength.
"Round Sword"!
The moves in "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" pay attention to the mystery and abnormality. The strength and direction of many moves are quite strange, which sometimes makes people feel that they are reasonable and unexpected, and it is difficult to understand.
"Qiang!"
"Qiang!"
The two men fought with their sharp weapons, and the sound of collisions was heard constantly on the field.
Upon contact, Bai Qingzhou felt Ye Yin's ferocity. His moves were not as powerful as Meng Yangyu's, and there were no particularly fancy moves, but every move was very practical. It was important to aim the moves at the human body.
parts.
For the first time, Bai Qingzhou could appreciate the fighting strength of casual cultivators.
This situation put Bai Qingzhou under great pressure. He could only fight hard for a while, and gradually turned into a suppressed state.
"Clang!"
As time passed, the long sword in Ye Yin's hand continued to break through Bai Qingzhou's sword defense, and struck Bai Qingzhou's [Earth Shield Talisman] with one sword after another, making a huge sound.
Fortunately, the quality of the yellow-level mid-grade talisman is much better than that of the low-grade yellow-grade talisman. It is not like the [Water Vapor Shield] that breaks with one touch. However, repeated hits also make the yellowish mask color more and more.
It's getting lighter.
Seeing this, Bai Qingzhou was anxious, he wouldn't be able to withstand it for long...
Bai Qingzhou gritted his teeth, found an opportunity, and struck hard with his sword, "Horizontal sword!"
"Qiang!"
Ye Yin blocked it with his sword, and the force made him retreat slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Qingzhou immediately reached into his arms and quickly took out two talismans.
【Fire Spell】!
【Thunder Talisman】!
They are two yellow-level middle-grade charms.
This is also the rare yellow-level mid-level spell that Bai Qingzhou has saved over the years. In this battle, he can no longer hide his secrets.
Two attack talismans were shot instantly. [Fire Spell] was the superior talisman of [Splitting Fire Talisman]. It was several times more powerful. It immediately turned into a ball of flames and rushed towards Ye Yin.
Ye Yin's expression changed slightly. He saw two talismans rushing towards him at extremely tricky angles, and his own speed was too late for him to block both of them.
All we have to do is give it a try!
Ye Yin's long sword shone slightly, which was obviously injected with spiritual energy. Then he swiped hard from left to right, knocking the [Fire Spell Talisman] away with one blow, preventing the talisman from approaching.
"puff!"
The flame was swept onto the ring, immediately creating a small black pit in the ring.
Ye Yin split Bai Qingzhou's [Fire Spell] with one move, but Bai Qingzhou's long-term practice of throwing talismans was not in vain. The [Sky Thunder Talisman] stuck to Ye Yin's chest with a snap!
"Zizzizi!"
The aura attack contained in the talisman instantly made Ye Yin feel as if he had been hit hard. The aura attack made his whole body tremble, and then his whole body was as black as lightning struck by lightning.
"Wow!"
The impact of the spell caused Ye Yin to vomit a mouthful of blood, which was scattered on the ring.
"There's a chance!" Bai Qingzhou secretly screamed, and he held the sword with force, and the spiritual energy quickly gathered at the tip of the sword. With a step, Yun Jian immediately used a move, aiming at Ye Yin's eyebrows and rushing towards him!
Taking this opportunity, Bai Qingzhou wanted to kill this person!
