Shortly after Wang Lu's proposal was put forward, it was supported by the other three sects.
It was not that Wang Lu's proposal was novel, many of the people present had heard the fable of the fox dividing the cake, and in reality, similar games were not uncommon. The reason why no one proposed it before, on one hand, was that the atmosphere at the negotiation table was too strong, and no one was willing to take even half a step back. On the other hand, the premise of this method was that the two sides who divided the cake must be highly equal. However, the weight of Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect was not enough to contend against Shengjing Sect. Only with the addition of Lingjian School, could they barely contend. However, since Wang Lu didn't express his position, Hai Yunfan and Zhou Mumu couldn't speak on his behalf. Shengjing Sect was even more eager to monopolize all the benefits, so that the other three sects would not be able to achieve anything in their internal strife. Thus, they didn't want to draw an equal pattern with the other three sects.
Now that Wang Lu had expressed his position and proposed a feasible plan, the other three sects no longer insisted.
Wangyue Luanyu said, "Since it's your proposal, then we'll decide who will shuffle the cards and who will pick the cards, no problem right?"
Wang Lu said, "Please."
Wangyue Luanyu smiled. "So straightforward? Then we'll be a bit more generous and let you choose. "
Wang Lu was surprised. "So generous? Very well, then we won't be polite. When the result is finalized, we'll inform you. "
Regarding the unusual generosity of Shengjing Sect, Wang Lu's response was to unceremoniously accept it. If there was any problem, then they could talk about it later.
Since the situation had been decided, the three sects immediately began to discuss the countermeasures.
"Brother Wang, it's best to let us shuffle the cards and let them pick." Hai Yunfan said through primordial spirit, "Shuffling the cards is a test of illusion technique, while choosing the sect is a test of illusion breaking … Unfortunately, Senior Brother Ziye who is the best at breaking illusion using thunder method is not here. However, Senior Sister Feifei and I have studied illusion technique, so if the two of us join hands, we can cast a Hundred Illusion level spell, reversing the two cards …"
Before he could continue, Zhou Mumu interrupted him, "If it's just the level of Hundred Illusions, then don't show it off. Even if Shengjing Sect is not as good as your Ten Thousand Arts Sect, it's impossible for their elite to not see through the Hundred Illusions."
Despite being slapped in the face, Hai Yunfan was not angry at all. Instead, he asked in reply, "Then what is the opinion of Kunlun Sect?"
Zhou Mumu said, "Let them shuffle the cards, we pick the cards. Although I'm not good at illusion and breaking the illusion, my Junior Brother happens to have the Subduing the Devil True Eyes, which can break the thousand illusion level spell. Unless Shengjing Sect really has so many talented people that they can casually pick out a team of people who is an illusion master, otherwise, it would be useless for Shengjing Sect people to play any tricks during the shuffle."
Hai Yunfan looked at the silent middle-aged cultivator beside Zhou Mumu in surprise. He actually has the Exorcism True Eyes!? You really can't judge a book by its cover.
The Exorcism True Eyes belonged to a cultivator's innate magical ability, one of the thirteen earth level magical abilities, which was exceptionally rare. Coupled with the correct acquired cultivation, it had a strong effect in suppressing the evil and breaking the illusion. Even if the cultivator was only in Xudan Stage, they could still break the thousand illusion level spell — generally speaking, among the Daoist Masters of King Pill, very few people could master the thousand illusion level spell … It was indeed the most suitable magical ability to be used in this situation.
"Mm, since Kunlun Sect has the Exorcism True Eyes, then it's best for us to pick the cards. But comparatively speaking, shuffling is more like defense, while picking the cards is more like offense. With Shengjing Sect's style, they should be better at offense. "
Wang Lu said, "It doesn't matter. Since they have generously asked us to pick, they're not afraid of us playing tricks."
"Hey, your position seems to be reversed."
"The nature is the same … In any case, whether it's illusion or breaking the illusion, it has nothing to do with me. I have tried my best to help you fight for it. Now, let me see the fierceness of Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect."
—
The final plan was for Shengjing Sect to shuffle the cards and the three sects to choose the cards. Shengjing Sect had no objection.
The person responsible for shuffling the cards was a tall, thin, and fair-faced young cultivator. According to Wangyue Luanyu's introduction, his surname was Teng and first name was Fei. Along the way, he was silent and didn't leave any deep impression on people. At this time, he was pushed by Wangyue siblings to shuffle the cards, which attracted everyone's attention.
"He only has middle-level Xudan Stage cultivation base, moreover, he doesn't have natural spirit root, and there are obvious traces of external stimulation. He's not completely self-cultivated … How could such a person be accepted by Shengjing Sect?"
Zhou Mumu somewhat found it hard to believe. She shook her head and said, "Even if artificial spirit root is the invention of Shengjing Sect, as far as I know, their inner court disciple recruitment is very strict. They almost never accept non-organic cultivators, so what's going on here?"
Wang Lu sneered. "It's obvious, this person is either a backdoor entrant or a special talent student. And since he was pushed by Wangyue siblings to shuffle the cards, it's obvious that the latter is more likely. There's probably going to be a good show later. Senior Sister Zhou, does your family's Brother Zhang Li have the confidence? "
Without waiting for Zhou Mumu to answer, the middle-aged cultivator named Zhang Li coldly humphed. "You don't have to worry about it."
While speaking, he has already launched his Subduing the Devil True Eyes. His two deep eyes suddenly changed, and the dark pupils rapidly spread to the whole eyeball, which turned out to be pitch black! And in the infinite deep darkness, all evil spirits had nowhere to hide.
The nearby Hai Yunfan secretly nodded. "This is the dark Subduing the Devil True Eyes … This is the first time I've seen a living example."
Wang Lu laughed. "Then after this trip to the sword tomb is over, how about I help you make a specimen of him?"
Zhang Li turned around and stared at him. His dark pupils seemed to hide a monstrous wave. Wang Lu's heart shivered. He felt as if he was trapped in the endless darkness, and a remote and remote dark god was looking at him under the cover of the darkness.
So that's how it is. This was the dark Subduing the Devil Magical Ability. Using a greater darkness to suppress the darkness was not a bad idea. Moreover, it also had an offensive nature. Sure enough, it was a rare innate magical ability.
However, although this Subduing the Devil Magical Ability was rare, it was still too immature to deal with Wang Lu. Wang Lu gently rotated his Non-Phase Immortal Heart to expel the strange feeling. And that cultivator also withdrew his Subduing the Devil Magical Ability, no longer entangled with him.
After all, at this time, Kunlun Immortal Sect and Spirit Sword Sect were in a tacit alliance.
Then, under the gaze of the Subduing the Devil True Eyes, the Shengjing Sect cultivator calmly picked out fourteen cards from the two piles of cards on the stone table. During this period, he used his magical power to bind the air, forming a barrier between his palm and the metal round card to avoid direct contact. Then he showed the fourteen cards one by one in front of everyone.
Zhang Li nodded his head. "Correct, please shuffle the cards."
With that, the darkness in his eyes became even deeper. His Subduing the Devil True Eyes was pushed to the extreme by him, in order to see through every movement of the opposite party, not leaving him the slightest chance.
Under the Subduing the Devil Magical Ability, any method under the table was just a joke!
In this regard, Teng Fei faintly smiled, divided the fourteen cards into two piles, and then shuffled them crisscrossed. During this period, although his fingers were flexible and free, there was no fancy skill.
Or rather, the process of Teng Fei shuffling the cards was unbelievably simple. Zhang Li deeply frowned, he also couldn't believe that the other party would be so sincere! However, his Subduing the Devil True Eyes didn't see the slightest abnormality!
The stone room was silent, only the crisp sound of the metal round cards colliding with each other could be heard. Each sound made many people more nervous.
A moment later, after the shuffling was finished, Teng Fei gathered the two piles of cards together, stacked them into a stack, and held them in his hand.
Then, Teng Fei began to deal the cards on the stone table. The cards with words were facing down, while the back was facing up. From the back, these round cards were exactly the same, without any difference. However, who in the crowd could only judge a round card by its appearance?
Zhang Li used his primordial spirit to transmit his voice, "Strange, just now during the shuffling process, I could clearly see each card in this stack. What the hell is he doing?"
Zhou Mumu, Hai Yunfan, and Ye Feifei also didn't find anything strange. Only Liu Li let out a soft cry of surprise, and after attracting everyone's attention, she said, "These round cards look like the sesame seed cake that Master brought back last time!"
"…"
If not for the sake of Wang Lu's face, several people would've cursed out loud, "Sesame seed your sister!"
At this time, Teng Fei had already dealt the thirteenth card out of the fourteen cards.
Without any suspense, Zhang Li and the others could clearly see each of the cards. In a moment, when they chose the cards, they could easily pick out the seven children cards and obtain the qualification to pass the test.
"Next is the last card."
At this time, Teng Fei paused for a moment, looked up at the three sects' cultivators, slightly smiled, and then put the fourteenth card on the table.
Seeing this card fall to the ground, Zhang Li couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, the next moment, he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eyes, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss; his whole body turned cold!
The reaction of the several other cultivators was not inferior. Soon, they also saw that creepy thing.
All fourteen cards have been put on the table, but in Teng Fei's hand, unexpectedly, there were still round cards! Moreover, the number was neither more nor less, still fourteen!
In the midst of everyone's horror, Teng Fei, with a smile on his face, put the fifteenth card, the sixteenth card … one by one, on the stone table. Finally, there were more than a hundred round cards piled up on the table!
"Ah, unfortunately, there's no more space."
Teng Fei faintly opened his mouth and then loosened his hand. The metal round cards sprinkled down like rain, piling up on the ground.
The number was in the thousands.
"Now, let's invite the three sects' fellow daoists to pick the cards. According to the agreement, you can pick seven cards first, and the rest are ours."
Inside the stone room, there was a shocked silence.
Teng Fei's method didn't seem to be fancy; it was just an endless number of cards. Let alone cultivators, even the mortal world had such a trick. The problem was, under the watchful eyes of the Subduing the Devil True Eye, unknowingly turning the fourteen cards into thousands upon thousands, this...
"Is this a spell beyond the thousand illusion level!?"
Zhang Li inconceivably raised his head and looked at the seemingly ordinary Shengjing Sect cultivator. Unexpectedly, a Xudan Stage cultivator was able to cast a spell beyond the thousand illusion level, was this a genuine master of illusion!? Moreover, listening to the meaning of the Wangyue siblings, it seemed like this guy was just an abandoned chess piece in Shengjing Sect — because previously, when they mentioned that the quota for the pass was not enough, Wangyue Luanyun said that Junior Brother Teng Fei should be sacrificed.
Wangyue Luanyu sneered. "Shengjing Sect is full of talented people. If anyone thinks that they have the qualification to show off in front of Shengjing Sect people with just two or three insignificant skills, then that's really a frog in a well, a laughing stock!"
These words were impolite, but the other party also had the capital to be impolite. Zhang Li felt that his face was burning hot. The confidence and conceit that he had when he cast the Subduing the Devil True Eye completely turned into a deep sense of loss.
In front of him, there were thousands of cards, but no matter how he looked at them, he couldn't see which one was real and which one was fake...
During the silence, Hai Yunfan asked, "Senior Sister Zhou, do you have any other way?"
Zhou Mumu struggled to shake her head.
Hai Yunfan then turned to look at Wang Lu. Wang Lu spread out his hands. "I've already said that illusion and illusion breaking are not my expertise, so I really can't see it."
Hai Yunfan felt even more at a loss. Even Wang Lu said that he was powerless, then did he really have to...
However, at this time, Wang Lu said, "Speaking of which, just now, little Liu Li mentioned that the sesame seed cake brought back by Fourth Uncle is indeed impressive."
Hai Yunfan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking, "What time is this, yet you're still talking about sesame seed cake?" However, he immediately thought, "How could Wang Lu be someone like Liu Li who can't distinguish the priority? There must be a reason for him to say this! "
"At that time, Fourth Uncle had just returned from the Western Continent and brought back a barley cake, saying that it was a sacred object made by the Western Continent Sage. In those days, the Sage fed more than five thousand people with five cakes and two fish … That cake has no other magical ability, except for one thing: no matter how it is divided, it can't be finished."
Wang Lu said and then sighed. "That cake seems to have been eaten by Liu Li in the end?"
Liu Li protested, "No! It's just that Master said that it can't be divided for a while! "
"Hehe."
