From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 292
292 Chapter 292 competition
The dustless immortal garment was successfully refined.
The next day.
Qin shujian was dressed in a green robe and was seated in the main seat of Chengwu Hall. Below him were the various elders.
!!
It was worth mentioning.
Because each branch only had one elder in charge, it was inevitably not comprehensive enough.
so,
On top of the branch head elder, he had also promoted two branch elders to assist him.
Of course.
The only exception was the demon vein.
This was because the demonic vein was filled with demonic beasts. Even if they were now part of the sky origin sect and their strength had increased during the sect’s promotion, they were still far from reaching the standard for human form transformation, let alone other things.
Demonic beast transformation.
He had to at least reach the spiritual martial realm.
Other than that, it also required enough wisdom to successfully transform.
Otherwise …
It was just like the endless Mountains.
There were many demonic beasts in the spiritual martial realm, but they were not smart enough, so there were no demonic beasts that could transform.
If he wanted to transform in advance.
However, he had to swallow the transformation fruit like Niu da li.
However-
The transformation fruit was rumored to be a spirit fruit that surpassed the ninth grade. Not to mention its value, it was extremely rare in quantity.
Qin shujian did not know either.
How did Niu da li get the transformation fruit?
“Due to some reasons, many things have been pushed back. Now I have decided that from tomorrow onwards, the main sect and the five branches will open their gates. As long as they are suitable, they can be accepted into our sect.”
Qin shujian sat on the main seat and spoke in a clear voice.
at the same time, from tomorrow onwards, Liangshan city will officially host the competition of smithing and array techniques. All participants must be at least a middle-grade blacksmith or a middle-grade array master.
“In addition, the sect has officially established a branch of formations.”
any disciple who specializes in alchemy, forging, and formations will be rewarded with 100 contribution points every month if they enter the low-grade, 500 contribution points if they enter the middle-grade, 2000 contribution points if they enter the high-grade, and 10000 contribution points if they enter the ascendant Grandmaster realm.
“In addition, apart from those at the Grandmaster level, the other three must complete a certain number of missions every month. Otherwise, the reward contribution points will be halved.”
This time.
He was already prepared to further perfect Yuan sect.
Most of the disciples in sky origin sect focused on cultivation. As for the number of disciples in the alchemy and forging divisions, the difference was a little exaggerated when compared to the number of people in the entire sect.
If a sect wanted to develop rapidly …
In addition to the necessary strength, other supporting personnel were also indispensable.
For example, if the three DAOs of alchemy, forging, and formation were used properly, it could allow a disciple to exert one hundred and twenty percent of their strength, or even higher.
Qin shujian believed him.
If this reward system were to be announced, it would probably attract a lot of people.
However …
He wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t focus on improving his own realm because of this.
As compared to pill refining and other supporting skills …
The path of cultivation had never lacked manpower.
Upon hearing this.
The other elders were fine with it, but Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua were a little excited.
After a period of silent cultivation, Shen Yuqing had already broken through from a middle-grade blacksmith to a high-grade blacksmith.
In other words …
Just like Shen Yuhua, as long as he completed a certain number of missions every month, he would receive an extra 2000 contribution points.
Even if they didn’t do anything.
They would also have a minimum of 1000 contribution points.
Such a reward system could be said to be extremely friendly to the alchemy and smithing halls.
After he finished speaking.
Qin shujian glanced at everyone’s expressions. In the end, his gaze fell on Shen Yuqing and he said, “”Let’s leave the blacksmith’s competition to elder Shen to be the judge!”
According to his observation.
This time, there were no Grandmaster-level figures.
The strongest of them all was only a high-grade blacksmith.
With Shen Yuqing’s current realm.
He was more than enough to be an adjudicator.
Hearing this, Chen Yuqing immediately stood up and cupped his hands, “”As sect master commands!”
Qin shujian then said a few more words.
The meeting was officially over.
The mountain Gate of Yuan sect was about to open.
Liangshan city was once again filled to the brim.
Many people had no place to stay because they came late, so they could only choose to sleep in the wilderness outside the city.
Fortunately, among the people who could come.
They more or less had some strength.
In addition, there were many people sleeping in the open now, so there were no accidents.
The next day.
The sky origin sect officially opened its doors and recruited disciples from all over the world.
This matter.
Qin shujian had left it to the first elder, Zheng Fang, to handle. There was no longer a need for him, the sect leader, to personally handle these matters.
As for the other side.
Outside Liangshan city.
Two spacious platforms had already been built, and a large number of cultivators gathered below.
On the other side of the platform.
It was a seat that belonged solely to the judges, and a group of Yuan sect cultivators sat there.
Shen Yuqing stood up and looked around the crowd, then said in a clear voice, “”I’m Shen Yuqing, an elder of Yuan sect’s smithing Hall, and I’m also the judge of this competition. The participants of this smithing competition must be at least middle-grade blacksmiths.
If you want to participate, please come up directly. As for those who are not middle-grade blacksmiths but attempt to make up the numbers, kill them without mercy!”
The words fell.
Some of the cultivators looked regretful, but they didn’t say anything.
As for the other cultivators, they had already leaped onto the high platform.
These people.
The lowest level was a middle-grade blacksmith.
After all, with the might of sky origin sect in front of them, they didn’t really dare to provoke them and see if they would be killed.
On the other side of the platform.
It was hosted by the law enforcement elder, Zhang Tieniu.
It was different from the path of forging.
Although the competition was also divided into the preliminary and final stages, there were no requirements for the cultivator’s level of formation.
I am the law enforcement elder of Yuan sect. Anyone who wishes to participate in the array competition can come up to the high platform directly.
The words fell.
In an instant, hundreds of people had entered the high platform.
Although the people standing below were also eager to try, they knew their own capabilities and didn’t go up to embarrass themselves.
15 minutes later.
When Zhang Tieniu saw that no one else was coming up to the high platform, he clapped his hands and a few deacons of sky origin sect came up with trays.
On the tray.
There were many pieces of jade stones.
“There’s a miniature array engraved on each of the Jade stones. However, the array of each jade stone is different. It could be an auxiliary array, a defensive array, or even a trapping array or a killing array.
What you need to do is to break the formation on the Jade within two hours.
In terms of solving speed, the top 30 will be able to enter the final round, and the rest will be eliminated.”
While he was speaking.
The array master on the high platform also had a solemn expression as he listened to the other party’s words.
It was a way to test an array master.
The most direct method was to set up and break the formation.
Soon after.
Zhang Tieniu continued,”however, you have to take note that because the formations are different, there will be risks. If you encounter a killing formation, you might even die.”
So if you don’t want to participate in the competition now, it’s still not too late for you to withdraw from the high platform.”
Finished speaking.
However, no one left.
Seeing this.
Zhang Tieniu did not say anything else. He used his vital energy to pick up all the Jade stones on the trays and flew towards the crowd on the high platform.
Suddenly-
Everyone moved to snatch the Jade stones that were flying in the air.
Not long after.
All the Jade stones were snatched away.
all those who do not have any jade stones have been eliminated. Please step down from the platform!
Upon hearing this.
Some of the empty-handed people turned pale. They looked at the people on their left and right, but had no choice but to retreat.
In an instant.
Twenty to thirty people had left.
The competition hadn’t even started yet, and these twenty to thirty people had already been eliminated.
Soon, someone placed a huge hourglass on the table. Zhang Tieniu said, two hours will be up once the sand leaks out. The competition will now officially begin!
The words fell!
The hourglass turned upside down.
The fine sand was sliding down from the top.
At the same time.
Most of them were focused on the Jade in their hands, trying to break the array on the Jade.
BOOM!
A silent roar.
Zuo Jin only felt his surroundings change. When he reacted, he had already appeared in an empty space. His surroundings were supposed to be dark, but it was as bright as day.
this is … An array!?
He immediately understood the changes in his body.
The surroundings were empty.
Zuo Jin’s brows were tightly furrowed. He spread out his divine will bit by bit, trying to find some clues.
After all, there was nothing here.
He didn’t even know what kind of formation it was.
To break the formation.
At the very least, he needed to give the right medicine.
As his spiritual sense spread, Zuo Jin stood still.
Since they were in the middle of a formation, every step they took could bring about unknown dangers and changes. A single mistake could lead to a disaster.
Very quickly.
Not long after his divine will spread out, he found that he had encountered an invisible barrier. No matter how far he extended, there was no change.
“I’ve reached my limit!”
Zuo Jin had already understood that this was the limit of the formation.
However, after carefully checking the distance of the formation …
He was shocked again.
His divine sense could extend to at least a thousand feet. This kind of formation was really a miniature formation. It was sealed in an ordinary jade stone, but it could even frighten people’s minds. Such a method was simply appalling.
it seems that this array is the work of that Grandmaster! Thinking of this, Zuo Jin was both nervous and excited.
A formation personally set up by a Grandmaster.
Even if this formation only used one percent or even one thousandth of its power, it was still the work of a Grandmaster and had a different meaning.
They could not observe the grandmasters preaching.
However, to be able to understand the formation in the hands of a Grandmaster, it was also not a shallow fortune.
However-
Zuo Jin couldn’t be sure how much time had passed since he had entered. The entire formation was like a cage. Other than that, there were no other changes.
A trapping array!
Killing formation!
He couldn’t figure out if it was another formation.
He considered the problem of time.
Zuo Jin finally took his first step in.
