The four of them all looked at the battle below carefully, observing it carefully.
Neither Zhang Wuyan, nor Fang Bingqing, nor Huailou knew much about the people participating in the competition.
Zhang Wuyan is because he is not a member of the Huanzhen Sect, so it is normal for him not to understand the talented disciples of the Huanzhen Sect.
Fang Bingqing, on the other hand, has no interest in taking care of this kind of thing. No matter how talented the person is, it has nothing to do with her. What she has always wanted to do is find her brother Chen.
As for Huailou, he is so high up there that absolutely no one can compare with him, and he doesn't even care about what other geniuses are below him.
In this regard, the three of them are on the same starting line, and the competition is about whose vision is brighter.
Of course, Fang Bingqing and Huailou also have advantages. After all, they are both on the seventh level of Jindan, while Zhang Wuyan is on the second level of Jindan. The gap is still quite big.
But this is just the advantage the two of them think they have.
It is precisely because of this that they feel that they are bound to win and that they will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Wuyan.
As everyone knows, Zhang Wuyan also has his own advantages, and they are even greater than Fang Bingqing and Huailou.
That is, he possesses extremely powerful spiritual consciousness.
His consciousness is comparable to the second level of Nascent Soul. This is Zhang Wuyan's greatest advantage, and it is also the reason why he dares to engage in a gambling battle with them.
Without this big advantage, Zhang Wuyan would never bet with them.
No matter how brilliant their eyesight is, how can they compare to Zhang Wuyan's powerful spiritual consciousness?
Zhang Wuyan was able to see the people participating in the competition very clearly, and even analyzed the strength of each of their cells to determine their overall strength.
If it weren't for the competition in the ring, Zhang Wuyan might not be able to see it too clearly. After all, he can only know the strength of the people below, and it is impossible to know what kind of treasures they possess.
However, this is an arena fight, and there are rules for an arena fight, not random fights without rules.
For example, in a competition between Qi training period disciples, a maximum of two magic weapons can be used, one offensive magic weapon and one defensive magic weapon, and a maximum of mid-grade magic weapons can be used.
Once restricted by this rule, the battle will only focus on personal strength and understanding of fighting techniques, and the influence of external objects will be drastically reduced.
Without the interference of external objects, Zhang Wuyan could better analyze the individual strength of the people below.
Those who are strong in their own right can generally achieve final victory.
But if this is not absolute.
Just because you are strong doesn't mean you can fully use it. This is a fighting technique.
Someone with 100% strength can only perform 90% in battle, then he only has 90%.
And if someone has 90% strength, but can exert 100% in battle and achieve extraordinary performance, then he has 100% strength.
Therefore, even though Zhang Wuyan's spiritual consciousness had already noticed who was stronger and who was weaker, he still did not immediately name his candidate for the championship. Instead, he continued to observe carefully, trying to find out those who were powerful and who could win the battle after the battle.
The person who performs exceptionally well is almost a champion.
Fang Bingqing and Huailou were also observing carefully, but no one spoke first.
They don't want to lose either.
Fang Bingqing wanted to win because she definitely wanted to hear Zhang Wuyan say in person that he was Ye Chen. Even if Zhang Wuyan refused to admit it, as long as she said it, Fang Bingqing would be satisfied.
Huailou also wants to win, not only because he doesn’t want to lose Zimulus Bamboo Core, but also because of the more important issue of face.
If you lose to the seventh level of the golden elixir and lose to the second level of the golden elixir, will you still have the face to meet people in the future?
The battle is in full swing. As time goes by, the top ten are gradually selected in each arena, and the top ten will compete for the first place.
"Only the last ten are left, and we can tell our respective answers."
Zhang Wuyan was the first to speak. He already had a candidate, so there was no need to wait any longer.
Fang Bingqing and Huailou looked over, and Huailou said, "Okay, let's write our answers together. It's more fair."
There may be duplicate candidates, so write them out together to avoid others "copying" your answers.
Huailou definitely does not want to be "copied" by Zhang Wuyan, and Zhang Wuyan naturally does not want to be "copied" by Huailou.
The three of them wrote their answers at the same time.
After I came out with the answers, I saw that there were some similarities and some differences.
First, there was a competition between qi training disciples. The answers of the three of them were the same, they were all the same person.
Fang Bingqing and Huailou are not fools. They will not only look at candidates' superficial strength, but also their fighting skills.
The gap between the Qi-training immortal cultivators and them is so big that they can easily see the strength and weakness of the Qi-training immortal cultivators.
Similarly, the candidates for the two arenas, Basic Foundation Establishment and Intermediate Foundation Establishment, are the same for the three of them.
The only difference is the selection of high-level candidates for foundation building.
The people who returned to the high-level foundation building competition of the Zhen Sect and were able to reach the last ten, no matter who they were, were extremely powerful and had extremely rich combat experience.
Among them are geniuses like Fang Bingqing and Huailou.
There are also people who are not geniuses, but have been practicing for more than 150 years and have accumulated a lot of money.
No matter what kind of person, under certain restrictions, there is a possibility of winning.
If there were no restrictions, those with strong family backgrounds would be more likely to win.
With the rules, anyone can win.
This is why the three Zhang Wuyan gave three different answers, because they all have strengths that are extremely close to those of Jin Dan, and it is really not a simple matter to see their strengths and weaknesses.
"It seems that our victory or defeat will be decided in this last game."
Huailou had a smile on his face. He was still so confident. The person he chose was a genius named "Huaifenglun" from the Huai family. This person had a special wind-attributed physique and was famous for his speed. His opponents continued to defeat him.
He was defeated without being able to catch a trace.
Fang Bingqing chose a woman. Like her, she had a special physique with ice attributes. She could freeze people into ice sculptures with just a wave of her hand.
The person Zhang Wuyan chose was an ordinary middle-aged man.
This person's name is "Ji Shuo" and he has been practicing for more than a hundred years. He is not a genius. However, Zhang Wuyan's spiritual consciousness saw that this person contained a huge and tyrannical force. Once it burst out, it would even be enough to defeat Jindan Zhenren.
This is something that neither Fang Bingqing nor Huailou can see. Only he who possesses the divine consciousness of True Lord Yuanying can see this.
On the last stage, the battle continued, and everyone was working hard, because the final result of the battle was related to whether they could form a pill.
The reward for the battle is the Golden Pill.
Those who can reach the top ten all have a gold-forming elixir, but they are just the most common gold-forming elixirs.
If you want to get a high-level gold-forming elixir, just rush forward.
The winner of the championship will receive a perfect level golden elixir.
If Zhang Wuyan was a member of the Zhen Sect and did not have a pill, he would also participate in this competition and try his best to get the first place and win a perfect gold-formed pill for himself.
Zhang Wuyan and the three of them all have very good vision. Although the people they choose are different, they are all very powerful. They have the strength to leapfrog the level in the foundation building realm. They can even defeat half a level by half a step.
The cultivator of golden elixir.
Finally, the person chosen by Fang Bingqing and the person chosen by Huailou met.
After a battle, the Huaifeng Wheel chosen by Huailou won half a move due to its speed.
Huailou did not mock Fang Bingqing, or even said anything.
There was no change in Fang Bingqing's face, and there was no psychological fluctuation.
She didn't care at all about losing to Huailou.
Now she just hopes Zhang Wuyan doesn't lose.
It's not a big deal if she loses. If Zhang Wuyan loses, he will marry a girl from the Huai family and have eighteen children. This is unacceptable to Fang Bingqing.
She secretly made up her mind that if Zhang Wuyan really lost, she would force Zhang Wuyan to run away. She would never let Zhang Wuyan marry a girl from the Huai family and have eighteen children.
If you want to marry, you can only marry her!
If you want to have a baby, you can only have a baby with her!
After two more battles, Ji Shuo, chosen by Zhang Wuyan, finally faced Huaifeng Wheel, chosen by Huailou.
This battle will not only determine the title of the champion, but also determine who wins and loses between Zhang Wuyan and Huailou.
Ji Shuo and Huaifeng Lun are both very powerful, so they can't give in too much.
A battle broke out, and the fight was inextricable, but everyone could see that Huai Feng Lun had the slight upper hand, and he would eventually defeat Ji Shuo, just like Huai Feng Lun defeated the person chosen by Fang Bingqing.
Even if you only win half a move, it's still a win.
The smile in Huailou's eyes grew bigger and bigger. Although he did not speak to ridicule Zhang Wuyan, there was already a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
The reason why he didn't mock Zhang Wuyan was just to maintain his grace in front of Fang Bingqing, otherwise he would not only mock Zhang Wuyan, but also kill Zhang Wuyan.
Zhang Wuyan looked on blankly, knowing that Ji Shuo had a huge and vast power in his body, which could defeat Huailou when it exploded.
But, is Ji Shuo willing to burst out that power?
If he wants to hide his power and is unwilling to explode, then he will not be able to win against Huai Fenglun, and Zhang Wuyan will naturally lose to Huai Lou.
Zhang Wuyan couldn't decide on this matter. He could only see whether Ji Shuo was willing to use his trump card for a perfect level golden elixir.
How important is the value of the perfect level golden elixir in his mind?
As soon as he thought this, Ji Shuo's aura suddenly changed, and a violent force as vast as the sea rose into the sky, shocking many people.
"This Ji Shuo actually has such power? Damn it!"
Huailou's eyes were slightly gloomy. When Ji Shuo's power burst out, he knew that he had lost and Zhang Wuyan had won.
In the face of this power, even an ordinary Jindan Daoist has to avoid the edge for a while, let alone someone like Huaifenglun.
The final result, of course, was beyond doubt. Ji Shuo defeated Huai Fenglun, and Zhang Wuyan also won the bet with Huai Lou and Fang Bingqing.
"Zhang Daoyou, you win."
Huailou put a smile on his face again and gently threw out the purple mulberry bamboo core and flew it in front of Zhang Wuyan, "My eyesight is not as good as yours, so I'm willing to be inferior."
Huailou was so polite, whether he was really polite or pretending to be polite, Zhang Wuyan responded with a smile, "I accept."
He put away the purple mulberry bamboo core calmly, as if he didn't care about this treasure, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
This was performed for Fang Bingqing. She should not be allowed to know that she wanted the Purple Mulberry Bamboo Core, and she should not be allowed to know that she wanted to refine the Bichen Qiwu Pill.
Huailou lost and found an excuse to leave. Zhang Wuyan smiled and said to Fang Bingqing: "Fellow Daoist Fang, don't forget our bet."
Fang Bingqing snorted softly, "I know, I don't need you to remind me."
She secretly thought it was a pity. If only she had won, Zhang Wuyan could admit that he was Ye Chen, but it was a pity that she lost.
"It's okay. There is still a chance. Sooner or later, we will have to make him admit his true identity!"
Fang Bingqing said silently in her heart.
As everyone knows, Zhang Wuyan is his true identity, and Ye Chen is just pretending.
Maybe in Fang Bingqing's opinion, Ye Chen's identity is real, while Zhang Wuyan is pretending.
This is why she always hoped that Zhang Wuyan would admit that he was Ye Chen.
The Huanzhen Sect's competition ended and the spectators dispersed. Zhang Wuyan returned to Fang Bingqing's cave and continued to practice deeply with Jian Chu, trying to improve his cultivation as much as possible.
However, his cultivation level is not improving very quickly. Even if he keeps cultivating in seclusion, it will probably take decades to reach the third level of Golden Core.
Zhang Wuyan is not in a hurry, just take his time.
Originally, he would not be able to practice so steadily, as the Zhen Sect would arrange various tasks for him, but with Fang Bingqing standing in the way, he naturally does not need to travel and work hard for tasks.
Fang Bingqing's role was reflected at this time.
How can the rest of the guests have such a good life as Zhang Wuyan?
Having said that, although Zhang Wuyan has no mission, he also has no contribution points for mission rewards, so he can only practice in seclusion.
Five years later.
Zhang Wuyan suddenly said to Fang Bingqing: "Fellow Daoist Fang, I heard that a trade fair will be held recently?"
Fang Bingqing nodded, "This is a small rule within the Huanzhen Sect. Every ten years, a trade fair is held. The participants are all Jindan masters. They can take out the things they don't need and trade them with others."
Trading."
"Shall we go take a look?"
Zhang Wuyan said.
Fang Bingqing looked at Zhang Wuyan curiously, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what treasure do you want?"
"I was just looking around, I haven't decided what treasures to trade yet."
Zhang Wuyan was beaten to death for refusing to tell the truth.
Fang Bingqing pouted, "Just tell me what you need. I know you are Ye Chen. You don't have to hide it from me."
Over the years, when she met Zhang Wuyan, she would always say, "I know you are Ye Chen." Zhang Wuyan's answer was, "I am not Ye Chen."
One is that whether you admit it or not, you are Ye Chen anyway.
The other is that no matter how much you believe that I am Ye Chen, I will never admit it to my death.
"I don't have anything special. I just take a look around. If there is a treasure that suits me, I will probably buy it."
Zhang Wuyan still refused to tell the truth.
Fang Bingqing said no more, "Okay, you can buy whatever you want. If you can't buy the treasure you want, just tell me. Don't force yourself."
As she said that, she sighed, "Actually, you can tell me what you want, and I can help you get a lot of treasures."
This is not a boast. Zhang Wuyan went to others to make deals, but many people would ignore him.
Fang Bingqing was different. She just told her what treasures she needed, and people who had treasures automatically came to her doorstep, and some even gave them to her for free.
She is the seed of the Nascent Soul, someone who can become the True Monarch of the Nascent Soul in the future, and there are many people who are willing to go out and fawn over her.
The most important thing is that Fang Bingqing doesn't have any power yet.
She is not like Huai Lou. Behind Huai Lou there is the Huai family. Forces that are at odds with the Huai family will not make deals with Huai Lou, and no one is willing to do anything to benefit the enemy.
Fang Bingqing is alone, has no power, is not friendly to anyone, and is not hostile to anyone. She can get a lot of things she wants.
The reason why Huailou wants to pursue Fang Bingqing is not because of how beautiful Fang Bingqing is, but mainly because of Fang Bingqing's potential.
If we can win over Fang Bingqing and make Fang Bingqing the wife of the Huai family, then both Huailou and Fang Bingqing will enter the Nascent Soul realm, and the Huai family will be truly invincible in the Huanzhen Sect.
Most of Fang Bingqing's other suitors also thought the same way.
It cannot be said that there are no people who truly love Fang Bingqing, but the vast majority of people who want to become a Taoist partner with her are actually doing it for her own benefit.
Even Zhang Wuyan deceived Fang Bingqing in order to perfect the golden elixir.
If Fang Bingqing's father was not a powerful alchemy master, then Zhang Wuyan would definitely ignore Fang Bingqing, which he admitted.
It's just that he got a benefit, but he also helped Fang Bingqing. It's not for nothing, it's worthy of Fang Bingqing.
He discussed with Fang Bingqing and asked her to take him to the trade fair. After all, he did not receive an invitation, so he could only be taken there by Fang Bingqing.
Those who go there for the first time are all brought there by others. In the future, as long as they are still members of the Zhen Sect, whether they are members of the Zhen Sect or foreign guests, they will be invited.
More than a month later, the trade fair officially started.
Fang Bingqing took Zhang Wuyan to a huge tower inside the Huanzhen Sect.
There is an extremely special layer of restrictions in the entire tower, and no one's consciousness is useless here.
Even if Zhang Wuyan possesses a consciousness comparable to the second level of Nascent Soul, he is still greatly restricted here.
Entering one of the rooms, the room is very large. You can see the outside through something like a floor-to-ceiling window in the front, but you can't see inside from the outside.
This is an extremely private trading place. Anyone who trades here and takes out their treasures does not have to worry about exposing their identity.
The highest level of the Zhenzong sect clearly understands that even people from the same sect will fight for treasures and even kill each other. Therefore, they designed this tower. Whenever you enter it, as long as you don't want to expose your identity, you will never do it.
If your identity is exposed, any treasure can be traded.
Of course, it is not 100% that their identities will not be revealed. The Yuan Ying Zhenjun of the Huan Zhen Sect can find out their identities. After all, this tower falls under their jurisdiction.
But this does not affect everyone's transactions, and no one will bring out the treasure that makes the Nascent Soul Lord's heart beat.
If there is such a treasure, most people would not dare to take it out. Treasures must not be used to identify people's desires and greed.
The result of the appraisal is usually a failure, and you may even lose your life.
In the room, Fang Bingqing suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you need me to leave?"
Zhang Wuyan nodded seriously, "Need it."
Fang Bingqing immediately gritted her teeth. She was just talking casually, but Zhang Wuyan really wanted her to leave? Was he afraid that she would know his secret?
"Oh, since Daoyou Zhang doesn't want me to leave, then I won't leave."
Fang Bingqing said with a smile.
Three big question marks appeared above Zhang Wuyan's head. Who did you learn this shameless look from?
That guy named Ye Chen is really not a good person. How can he teach you all these bad things?
Zhang Wuyan was speechless, and Fang Bingqing stayed with a playful smile. She had to follow Zhang Wuyan closely at all times, seize the evidence that Zhang Wuyan was Ye Chen, and make Zhang Wuyan admit that he was Ye Chen.
The trade fair began soon. A middle-grade magic weapon in the shape of a seal appeared in the empty space in the center of the tower. A voice that could not be identified as male or female said: "This seal is called the 'Overlord Seal'. It is a middle-grade magic weapon with the ability to suppress."
, gravity, earth-shaking and many other powers, I would like to exchange it for a 'Four Transformation Bone Pill', which fellow Taoist is willing to exchange it?"
"It is indeed a transaction between Jindan Daoist. Once it is sold, it will be a middle-grade magic weapon."
Zhang Wuyan secretly lamented that it was his first time to participate in this kind of transaction, and he immediately saw how wealthy Jin Dan was.
"However, the four-transformation bone elixir is not common, and it is not that easy to switch to it."
Zhang Wuyan knew the recipe for the Four-Transformation Bone Pill and was able to refine it, but he did not have the materials to refine it.
The materials required to refine the Four-Transformation Bone Pill are even more precious than the materials used to refine the Bichen Qiwu Pill, because the Four-Transformation Bone Pill is a life-saving elixir, especially for treating bone injuries.
After a moment of silence, another hoarse voice said: "Fellow Taoist, I don't have the Four-Transformation Bone Pill. I want to use the spirit stone to buy this Overlord's Seal, is it possible?"
"I only want the Four Transformation Bone Pills."
The owner of the Overlord Seal said.
Later, other people proposed to exchange other treasures for the Overlord Seal, but they were all rejected by the owner of the Overlord Seal. The owner of the Overlord Seal did not want anything except the Four Transformation Bone Pills.
In the end, this first transaction ended in failure.
Next, someone else brought out treasures for trade and put forward their own conditions.
Some need spiritual stones, some need magic weapons, some need elixirs...
Zhang Wuyan did not make a sound because there was no treasure that made his heart move.
He just kept watching calmly, hoping that the water chestnut grass would appear.
As for Taihao Yuanhuo and Leixiang Essence and Blood, there is no need to think about it.
Not to mention whether these people have it, even if they do, they would not dare to trade it easily.
About an hour later, Zhang Wuyan suddenly became energetic and saw a treasure that was useful to him.
It's not a phoenix.
A ginseng as thick as an arm hangs suspended in the center of the tower. It is light green in color and exudes a sparkling luster. It seems that the heart is beating. The owner of the ginseng introduced: "This is Qingxian Baoginseng. I don't need to say more about its functions.
All fellow Taoists should know that I want to exchange it for a low-grade magic weapon, or other treasures of equal value, including spiritual stones."
