It took Qingyang almost four or five hours to finish digesting the piece of snow muscle cream he dug out before, expelling all the useless things, and the Mihe Powder was refined and absorbed by him. Just as Qingyang expected, the Mihe Powder was indeed
It has a certain effect on repairing the cracks in the golden elixir, and Qingyang's condition has also improved, but the change is not very big, and more efforts are needed.
So for a period of time after that, Qingyang stayed in the inn. Soon half a month passed. Qingyang almost didn't leave the house, spending all his time absorbing and refining the snow muscle cream.
The preliminaries for the Holy Son have not started yet, but more and more monks are coming to Tongcoff County. Ma Xingchen has also been visiting relatives and friends during this period. He usually only takes the old guards with him when going out, and does not need anything else.
People followed and saved Qingyang a lot of things.
The large bottle of snow muscle ointment has been used by Qingyang. After removing the impurities, absorbing, refining and dispersing it, the effect is still good. The cracks in Qingyang's Golden Pill have obviously improved. Now they can even mobilize a small amount of true essence for use, although the amount is not large.
, but it’s a good start.
How should I put it? The amount of zhenqi he can mobilize is almost equivalent to the amount of a monk in the late stage of opening the pulse. In other words, he can roughly exert the attack power of a monk in the late stage of opening the pulse. If coupled with his strong defense,
His overall strength even surpasses that of a Qi Refining monk.
Of course, this strength cannot be compared with the golden elixir realm he once had, and it is not even as good as before. However, he can be considered to have a certain ability to protect himself now, unlike before, he was helpless when encountering problems.
, can only be beaten passively.
Half a month later, news came from Ma Xingchen, saying that the preliminaries for the Holy Son were about to begin, and asked everyone to prepare and set out with him the next day to the location of the Holy Son preliminaries in Tongcoff County.
Early the next morning, only two guards were left to guard the inn. Ma Xingchen led the rest of the people out of the door. The pre-selected location was not in the county town. After leaving the city, the group turned in one direction and headed all the way.
After a long time, we finally arrived outside a deep valley.
The deep valley in front is the location of this competition. This deep valley was originally nameless and was the burial place for ordinary people and low-level monks in Tongcoff County. I don’t know how many bones have been buried for countless years. Who knows that the valley suddenly appeared later?
Some low-level zombies accidentally injured many people.
Later, after an expert's investigation, I found out that there was actually a very deep Yin vein hidden in the valley. This problem would only occur after a long time. However, the level of this Yin vein was not high and could only form some low-level zombies, which would be harmful to copper.
The threat in Coffin County was not great. Later, the monks in Tongcoff County sealed the valley to prevent zombies from coming out and causing trouble. It was occasionally used as a place for monks to gain experience.
This valley has rarely been opened in recent decades. This time it was because the Holy Son preliminaries were too important and they could not find a suitable venue for the competition, so the big bosses from Tongcoff County discussed with the supervisors sent by Dry Tomb City.
After that, it was decided to use this place as the pre-selection place for the Holy Son.
At this time, thousands of people have gathered outside the deep valley. There are about a hundred people in the entire Tongcoff County who are qualified or have the conditions to participate in the preliminaries of the Holy Son. If their guards are added, there are still three to four thousand people.
Apart from those attending the game, there were very few spectators. Only a dozen or so people with certain status and connections in Tongcoff County were allowed to come and supervise the game.
On a small hill in the middle, there are nearly twenty foundation-building monks standing. One of them is building a seventh-floor foundation. He looks somewhat similar to Shangguan Yan. This is Shangguan Tong, the county lord of Tongcoff County, and the strongest person in Tongcoff County.
The tallest person. Standing side by side with him is a fourth-level monk with a serious look on his face. This monk was sent by Dry Tomb City to supervise the pre-selection of the Holy Son. He is called Qingteng Sanren. The remaining dozen or so people came from the early stage of foundation building.
They are all in the middle and middle stages of foundation building, and they are all people with a certain status in Tongcoff County.
Qingyang and Ma Xingchen were almost the last ones to arrive. Not long after everyone stood still, they heard Shangguan Tong on the hill make a clear whistle, and the place suddenly became quiet. Then Shangguan Tong turned to face the Ivy Scatterer.
Humanity said: "Fellow Taoist Qingteng, it's almost time, shall we start?"
Qingteng Sanren smiled faintly and shook his head, saying: "I am only responsible for watching. Regardless of the specific matters, everything will be done according to the wishes of Shangguan County Lord."
Shangguan fellow practitioners are much higher than Qingteng Sanren. The reason why I asked this is to show respect for the people above. After all, they represent Kuzhong City. Seeing that Qingteng Sanren was not going to intervene, Shangguan Tong immediately said loudly
: "Everyone must be aware of the preliminaries of the Holy Son, so I won't go into details. I will just reiterate the rules of the competition here."
"The location of the competition is the valley in front. The task of the contestants is to kill the zombies inside, and the winner will be determined by the number. In order to ensure the safety and convenience of the contestants, each person can bring four guards to help complete the task, but the cultivation level
It is limited to the Kaimai Realm, and the competition time is three days."
"As for the calculation of the results, I will issue a Yin Diagnostic Talisman to each candidate. Every time an iron-armored zombie is killed, a black dot will be displayed on it. When a bronze-armored zombie is killed, a green dot will be displayed.
In the end, the score is calculated based on the number of points. However, everyone should also pay attention to that only the zombies killed by the captain holding the Yin Diagnosis Talisman will be counted. Killings by team members are invalid. Team members can help. Don't go too far. When the time comes,
Don’t blame me if your results don’t show up.”
Shangguan Tong didn't say it clearly, but everyone heard it. It's not that the team members can't help, but there must be a limit to the help. You can trap or severely damage the zombies, but the one who delivers the final blow must be the captain with the Yin Diagnosing Talisman for it to be counted.
Results. All the candidates are Qi Refining monks, and the team members are all Pulse Opening Realm monks. The strength of the two sides is much different. It is impossible to help much. At most, they can only provide some assistance, which limits the maximum limit.
the possibility of opportunism.
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Tong paused for a while, and after everyone had digested the information, he said: "It's getting late, give everyone a little more time, and quickly select the team members who will follow him into the valley. After a stick of incense, the valley entrance
Open it, the game officially begins."
After Shangguan Tong made the announcement, he ordered someone to light a stick of incense and hold it. Then he led a dozen other foundation-building monks to the mouth of the valley, waiting for the incense to burn out so that he could open the entrance.
Ma Xingchen has already inquired about the rules of the competition, but he has been hesitant about who to choose to participate. The captain of the guard team will definitely not be able to go. His cultivation level exceeds the Kai Pulse Realm, and it will not work if all the old team members are selected.
Obviously, he is worried about the new team members and is easily distracted. When choosing new team members, he doesn't know who among the dozens of people is the most suitable to follow him into the valley for experience.
