"I was about to win, but at the last moment, I made a comeback."
"Liu Qing has been defeated! With his injuries, he cannot continue fighting. Ye Chen is still intact and has the upper hand."
"Liu Qing's Green Spirit Sword is very powerful, but it's a pity that he didn't have time to exert its power. His entanglement technique could have shortened the distance between him and his opponent, but unfortunately it didn't work, so he was defeated by Ye Chen's fire spell.
Defeated from a distance!"
"Ye Chen's strength seems to be higher than Liu Qing's! Otherwise, he wouldn't have won the fight in such a short period of time."
The monks woke up from the shock and began to whisper.
All the monks looked at Liu Qing with some sympathy. In the minds of the Qi Refining Stage monks in the Qingshan Lake area, Liu Qing was also a quite famous monk. Such a disastrous defeat was probably a heavy blow to Liu Qing.
of blow.
"Failed!"
Under the stone wall, Liu Qing's face was ashen. He struggled to say these two words, his heart hurt violently, and he immediately spurted out a large mouthful of bright red blood. After a while, he regained his strength and climbed up from the ground with difficulty.
He didn't need to look at the monks who were watching. He left with the Qingling Sword and walked down the mountain step by step towards the bluestone steps.
Being able to occupy one of the one hundred and twenty-six cottages in Qingshan Lake is an honor that any casual cultivator in Qingshan Lake dreams of.
The most important thing is that this is the hope of Chongzhen Demon Tower and worshiping the Nine Immortal Sects of Yunzhou.
Because every year, most of the ninety places in the Demon Tower in Tianwu Xianyuan City are born from among the 126 people who sit in the Qingshan Lake Cottage. Losing the Cottage means losing the opportunity to win the Nine
The hope of one of ten places.
He occupies the 100th house, which is very close to the 90th place, almost within reach.
But now, this hope has been shattered.
Where there is glory, there must be pain after defeat.
Liu Qing has enjoyed the glory of being noticed by the public and the joy brought by the hope of worshiping the Nine Immortal Sects. At this moment, he once again experienced the pain of falling. He is twenty-four years old this year and has worked hard with all his efforts.
The captured cottage was lost only three months before leaving Chongzhen Demon Tower.
The defeated will only be left alone.
Ye Chen had already torn away the winding technique that bound him, glanced at Liu Qing who was leaving, and then turned to look at Cottage No. 100 on the ground.
pity?
No sympathy.
He doesn't need, has no time, and is not qualified to sympathize.
He didn't think Liu Qing needed this either.
As a casual cultivator with no foundation, he must have realized long ago that the only thing that can allow him to gain a foothold in Tianwu Xianyuan City is his own strength! Everything else is unreliable, let alone such boring things as sympathy.
If you don't understand, you will be eliminated, and you will only be at the bottom of the world of immortality in Tianwu Xianyuan City, living a mediocre life. You are not qualified to sit in the position of the master of the one hundred and twenty-six cottages on the peaks of Qingshan Lake.
.
If you want to reach the top, you should only ask about your strength every step of the way.
"There are still three months left, and it's time to rush to the Demon Suppressing Tower! I've devoted myself to cultivation, and I'm afraid I'll only have time to reach the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, or at most the fifth level. It's still far from what Zheng Yuan, an eighth-level Qi Refining monk, thinks of me.
We need more time to surpass Zheng Yuan! I hope I can gain enough time by entering the Immortal Sect."
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said secretly, "From today on, I am the new owner of this No. 100 cottage, and I will practice quickly here."
Liu Qing left sadly.
The dozens of Qi Refining Stage monks who were watching woke up from the shock and quickly accepted the new fact. Ye Chen had officially defeated Liu Qing and became the new owner of House No. 100.
"Brother Ye, congratulations! I didn't expect you to really defeat Liu Qing and seize a cottage. I, Old Zhu, can be considered a wise judge of people!"
Zhu Dahao changed from worry and shock to ecstatic laughter.
"Brother Ye came prepared!"
"Weren't you worried before that Brother Ye couldn't beat Liu Qing? Look, Brother Ye is not easy, and there is still hope for victory!"
Qian Shanli and Feng Yan laughed.
The three people's faces were all radiant and they felt extra proud, just because Ye Chen was their new friend.
Although the few of them made many friends by the Qingshan Lake, most of them were casual cultivators with low strength and had never had any friendship with a real capable cultivator. Becoming friends with a Lingquan Clan Master was still a big deal.
first.
The other monks also hurriedly congratulated and congratulated, and their tone changed drastically. Although they did not know the newcomer Ye Chen, most of them recognized Zhu Dahao. Friends of friends can be considered friends! In the world of immortality, many friends are far better than many enemies.
Be good.
"I would also like to thank Brother Zhu, Brother Qian, and Sister Feng for supporting me! Everyone, please come into the house and take a look!"
Ye Chen cupped his hands and smiled.
It’s too much trouble!”
The monks greeted each other politely and were full of curiosity.
Ye Chen pushed open the wooden door of the hut and led the monks into the hut.
This cottage is actually a bit like a pavilion. It is four to five feet long and wide inside. A spiritual spring emerges from the cracks in the ground inside the cottage. The spiritual energy around the spring is rich, and a thin mist rises. The spiritual energy in the cottage rises.
The fog is quite thick.
The spiritual spring flows outward, out of the cottage through ditches, and then becomes a stream and waterfall flowing to Qingshan Lake.
As soon as Ye Chen entered the cottage, he took a deep breath and could feel the spiritual energy in the air seeping into his lungs. He didn't need to meditate, and his magic power was gradually recovering. The effect was better than absorbing the spiritual energy from spiritual stones.
Of course, the speed of restoring mana is still slower than directly drinking spiritual wine to restore mana.
"The spiritual energy here is really strong. It is more than twice as strong as Qingshan Lake! One day of cultivation here is as good as one and a half days at Qingshan Lake. Living for a long time is of great benefit to cultivation."
"Tsk tsk, the worst Lingquan Cottage has such great benefits. As for Lingquan Cottage No. 60 and Lingquan Cottage No. 30, one day of cultivation can be worth two or three days. No wonder those children of the rich families are snatching away
Even if you lose your head, you have to fight for those high-quality houses. Staying for three months is comparable to nine months of cultivation!"
This was the first time for most of these monks to see the spiritual spring in the hut. The other hut owners were all precious and would not let other monks enter their huts at all. Ye Chen was willing to let them in to take a look.
This behavior is already rare among the hut owners of Qingshan Lake.
After a visit, the monks satisfied their curiosity and sighed, and then they left one after another. Their favorable impression of Ye Chen also quickly increased a lot.
Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli, and Feng Yan finally left, telling Ye Chen to practice well in the cottage, and that they would often come to support him in the future. No matter who challenged him, they would stand firmly on Ye Chen's side.
Ye Chen was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that the three of them regarded him as their little brother. He was also a little touched. Although they had only known each other for a few days, they could tell that they were cheerful and very righteous.
The No. 100 Cottage where Ye Chen is stationed is a low-class Cottage among the 126 Lingquan Cottages in Qingshan Lake. It is not very eye-catching.
Unlike the previous thirty Lingquan Cottages, every battle would cause a huge sensation, attracting at least a thousand Qi Refining Stage monks to watch the battle. The peak battle of Lingquan Cottage No. 1 would probably attract even more people from Qingshan Lake
The eyes of all the monks from big and small families and casual cultivators.
Only the strongest monks of the younger generation in Tianwu Xianyuan City are qualified to sit in charge of the No. 1 Spiritual Spring.
In contrast, Ye Chen's battle at No. 100 House only attracted dozens of Qi Refining Stage monks to watch. This could only be regarded as a miniscule battle in Qingshan Lake, without any influence.
.
However, the news that Ye Chen defeated Liu Qing quickly spread among the casual cultivators stationed by Qingshan Lake through the mouths of the monks who were watching the battle.
When most casual monks heard the news, they first didn't believe it.
"Liu Qing is quite famous, how could he lose to an unknown boy?" "A monk in the early stage of Qi refining can actually defeat a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining. This is too outrageous. If someone challenges you next time, go and have a look!
"
"Just wait and see! That boy named Ye is just lucky, he will be kicked out of the cottage soon! There are one hundred and twenty-six cottages in Qingshan Lake, which he, a third-level casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, can securely sit in
?”
Many people are quite disdainful.
Ye Chen sat in Lushe to practice, and time passed day by day.
In the first three days, three challengers came to challenge almost every day.
After experiencing the excitement of the first three days, the challengers quickly saw the situation clearly and disappeared. They would rather try their luck at other Lingquan Cottages than come to Ye Chen's No. 100 Cottage again.
Ye Chen's tactics are very simple.
No matter who the challenger is, Ye Chen only uses one spell, which is the wood-type entanglement technique. The entanglement spells are struck one after another, keeping the challenger at a distance and preventing the opponent from getting close.
It doesn't matter whether the challenger is good at long-range attack spells or good at close combat.
The little porcupine is simpler. When it appears, it has sharp thorns all over its body. As an earth spirit beast, it has thick skin and rough flesh, and the sharp thorns on its back are more than ten feet long. It is not afraid of the enemy at all. Then, the little porcupine starts
He hummed and shot out earth arrows like crazy.
Its mana capacity is equivalent to the entire mana of a fourth-level monk in the Qi refining stage.
The challenger had to defend with all his strength and was too busy exchanging spells with the little porcupine that he had no time to take care of Ye Chen.
After a lot of fighting, the challenger's mana has been toiled by the little porcupine. If the defense is strong, he can withstand a few more blows. If the defense is weak, he will be directly hit by the earth arrows and vomit blood.
The little porcupine had enough mana to fire more than thirty earth arrows before all its mana was exhausted. Then it finished casting its spell, got up, wiggled its butt towards the challenger, turned around and ran back behind Ye Chen.
Next, how much mana do they have left to fight Ye Chen?
This makes every challenger who wants to take advantage of it very depressed. The monks in the Qi Refining Stage have limited magic power. After struggling with a little porcupine for a long time and being beaten so badly, there is no way they have any energy left to fight with Ye Chen.
It's better to try your luck at other Lingquan Cottages. After ranking number 100, there are at least 26 Cottage Masters who are weaker than Ye Chen, so the challenge will be easier.
The little porcupine grew very fast. In just a few days, Ye Chen spared no effort to plant spiritual grass in the fairy mansion to feed it. It gained more than ten or twenty kilograms of meat and became a first-class porcupine spirit beast.
The strength has increased again.
Its mana is more abundant, its fur is thicker, its energy and blood are more abundant, and the earth arrows it shoots are thicker.
As soon as it saw a challenger appear, it rushed out with a proud grunt.
After a few days, the challengers descended the mountain in disgrace and disappeared completely, acknowledging that Ye Chen was strong enough to take charge of the 100th cottage. Being able to drive Liu Qing away was indeed a bit better than Liu Qing.
Cottage No. 100, where Ye Chen was stationed, was also clean.
