Chapter five hundred and seventy-six the day of the big competition
For the next five days, no one from the Xiao family came to disturb them again. The courtyard where Qin Fengming lived seemed extremely quiet, just like usual. However, at this time, the monks of the Xiao family were very busy on Shengyou Island.
The monks from all walks of life who came to watch the ceremony have also arrived here, and the attic of the palace where everyone is entertained is also very lively. People who are familiar with each other or people who are not familiar with each other are visiting each other, hoping to take this opportunity to make more friends.
What's more, they actually took advantage of the gathering of many high-level monks to hold several small exchange meetings in private.
This small exchange meeting, as the name suggests, is when a dozen or twenty or thirty people gather together and each take out their own treasures in order to exchange for something they urgently need.
Such exchange meetings are usually held among familiar monks of the same level. Most of the things exchanged there are extremely precious, and their value is generally not measured in terms of spiritual stones. They are only exchanged for things that are urgently needed for one's own cultivation.
Although this exchange meeting is not large in scale, there are a lot of treasures in it. Even the children of the Xiao clan, there are many people participating.
This Xiao Clan competition was held almost at the same time as the Xiao Clan's selection of low-level monks with foreign surnames. This also made the Xiao Clan's senior officials extremely cautious. Although the Xiao Clan was quite powerful in the world of immortality, generally no monks would dare to cause trouble on the spot. Despite being cautious, the entire Xiao clan still seemed to be on alert and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Qin Fengming would not care at all about the Xiao clan's selection of monks with foreign surnames. After several days of meditation, he was already full of energy, and he already had a plan in his mind to deal with the situation encountered in the competition.
On the morning of the sixth day after Xiao Qinghao visited Qin Fengming, a white light flashed in the quiet courtyard, and a musical note flew into the room of Xiao Xiangqi, who came here with Qin Fengming.
After a while, Xiao Xiangqi walked out of the room and called out the four monks who came with him one by one. Then they went to where Qin Fengming and the others lived, stood in the courtyard, and shouted loudly:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, and two fellow Daoists Xiao, today is the day of my Xiao clan's grand competition. Please three of us go to the martial arts field with us, where my ancestor is waiting."
After hearing the call, Qin Fengming did not hesitate, tidied up his clothes a little, and walked out of the room. After meeting Xiao Jinxuan's uncle and nephew, he followed the Xiao family members and walked towards a valley in the distance.
A group of people were walking on the mountain road. At this time, there were many monks wearing uniform clothes walking on the road. The number of these monks was about five or six, led by three or four foundation-building monks, followed by several Qi-gathering monks. .
You don't need to look to know that these monks are undoubtedly members of the Xiao clan participating in this competition.
Although they were all members of the Xiao clan, they did not talk to each other at all, as if they were strangers, which also surprised Qin Fengming.
But when he thought about it, he already understood that although everyone belonged to the Xiao family, there was not much contact between the various clan branches. Even people of the same clan rarely met each other, so they naturally did not know each other.
Following the flow of people, Qin Fengming and others entered an extremely wide valley.
Looking from a distance, we can see that there are many tall stone platforms several feet high in the valley. The stone platforms are very wide, each of them is a hundred feet long.
Qin Fengming glanced briefly and already knew that there were thirty-five stone platforms. These stone platforms were distributed in a semicircle. The five in front seemed to be very far apart, but the ten in the back were only a few feet apart. , there are four floors inside and outside.
At this time, there was no one on these stone platforms. There were only many colorful flags floating around the stone platforms, giving the entire valley a festive look. But around the stone platforms, there were many members of the Xiao clan standing
, scattered in groups among dozens of high platforms.
Directly in front of these stone platforms, there are two taller platforms built. These two platforms are one or twenty feet high. There are many tables and chairs placed on each stone platform. So many high platforms.
The large stone platform occupies half of the valley, covering several miles.
At this time, there were many monks sitting on these two high platforms.
Qin Fengming and his party did not stop. Following Xiao Xiangqi, everyone climbed onto a stone platform on the right side. On this stone platform, there were hundreds of long stone tables with various kinds of items placed on them.
Fruit cakes. These stone tables are placed in a rectangular shape on a high platform.
Behind the stone table, there were monks sitting upright. Qin Fengming glanced at them with his spiritual consciousness and was shocked.
Among the monks sitting behind each stone table, there are actually one or two Alchemy monks, and many of these Alchemy monks have already reached the late stage of Alchemy.
The gathering of so many high-level monks really shocked Qin Fengming's heart.
The group of people shuttled between the stone tables and soon stopped in front of a stone table. Behind the stone table, they saw two monks sitting upright. They were undoubtedly Xiao Qinghao and Xiao Qingquan.
After everyone had finished the ceremony, they sat down next to the two Chengdan monks in a very polite manner.
When Qin Fengming sat down and looked at the high platform on the other side, his eyes immediately widened with disbelief in his eyes.
I saw hundreds of monks sitting on the high platform opposite. In front of these monks were placed various fruits, pears, fragrant tea and wine.
What shocked Qin Fengming was that these monks were all monks at the realm of Chengdan or above, and there were more than a dozen of them whose specific cultivation levels Qin Fengming could not clearly see clearly. These monks must be monks who transformed into infants.
So many infant-transformation monks who were rarely seen in the past appeared here at the same time. Even Qin Fengming, who had seen the world, could not feel at ease anymore.
The Yuanfeng Empire is indeed a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Facing these powerful men who stand at the pinnacle of the cultivating world, the foundation-building cultivators are no different from ants in their eyes.
This scene shocked Qin Fengming to the core. Although since his cultivation, he has been ranked among the best among monks of the same level in terms of speed of cultivation and methods and treasures. But in front of these powerful men, he is not the same at all.
Looking at the high-level monks in front of him who were talking to each other, Qin Fengming couldn't help but secretly made up his mind. As long as the trip to Shengyou Island was completed, he would find a hiding place to improve his realm.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you must not be fully aware of my Xiao Clan's Grand Competition. Our Xiao Clan's competition is different from the usual competitions in the world of immortality. This matter needs to be explained in detail to fellow Daoist."
Just when Qin Fengming was feeling very emotional, Xiao Qinghao beside him turned his head, his eyes bright, and he whispered slowly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I really don't know this junior, please ask senior to clarify my doubts."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fengming was also stunned. Is there any taboo against the competition?
"Haha, my clan's competition is a challenge. My Xiao clan has a total of one hundred and twenty-eight branches..."
Xiao Qinghao chuckled and began to narrate slowly in a very calm tone.
