The few of them even specially set up a stage to display their goods in all directions. And Lonemoon and the other three sat around the back, leisurely eating their meals. But Father Niu forcibly increased the time that Chef went out to find ingredients from an hour to two hours.
At first, Yi Qing was unwilling. Although he was used to going out to find ingredients, these were all prepared for Master, why should he take them out to sell? Did Chef and foodies have dignity too?
"Count it as wages, and add three times the food expenses!" Lonemoon held out three fingers.
"Alright!"
A certain disciple instantly gave in. Hmm, dignity is not as important as food.
So the mystic realm that was originally full of ferocious beasts, all kinds of beasts were disappearing at an extremely fast speed. Almost more than eighty percent of the people who entered the mystic realm bought one … or half a beast, or bought a beast in the form of shares.
Such a hot scene lasted until the eighth day. At this time, more than half of the people in the mystic realm were gone, and of course the beasts were gone too! Everyone received another message in their communication cards.
[Attention, attention, a big sale of array flags! Want to qualify for the pass! Pass Array Flags, only one hundred void coins, only 30 pieces sold! First come, first served, sold out. Support for IOU transactions!]
Everyone who heard the message was stunned, and then suddenly remembered.
Huh?
Holy shit! So they were competing! They completely forgot about this! These days, they only cared about queuing, and some even waited for a few nights, they completely forgot about the array flags.
But everyone was still optimistic. With beasts, the array flags did not matter. Anyway, not everyone could get first place, they had already profited! There were even some people who were afraid that the beasts in their hands would be snatched away, and there were many people who deliberately self-destructed. Apart from some elite disciples of large academies, after all, under elite education, there were still many responsible people who would disguise themselves to buy array flags.
So although the array flag business was not as popular as before, more than sixty flags were still sold out.
Hence, the crowd outside the mystic realm saw that the name "Immortal Academy C23", which had originally been pushed to the top, finally dropped in a straight line within two days. The number also dropped from the initial sixty-something to four, and it was sandwiched between the other names.
The surrounding teachers were dumbfounded, but they couldn't figure out the reason. Those who came out in advance didn't say anything because they wanted to keep the news that they had treasures with them a secret. After all, they were here on behalf of the Academy, and they might have to hand them over if they told the truth. Finally, the people inside wouldn't say anything. Nonsense! The array flags were all bought. Could it be that he directly told others that he had cheated?
Even when Ling Hong and the other three were called in for questioning, they insisted that they did not know anything and that they were just lucky to find out about the array flags at the last moment. Therefore, in the end, the Immortal Spirit Academy could only give an explanation. There was a mistake in the array on the stone tablet, which led to the error in the statistics.
Just like that, the first round of the competition ended in a dramatic manner. Contrary to expectations, there were only a total of 75 people who entered the second round. That's right! More than a thousand disciples had entered, but there were still more than twenty array flags that had not been found.
Of course, Shen Ying, who had been cooped up by the river for ten days, also advanced gloriously. Not to mention Ling Hong and the other three who were completely lying on the ground and Buggy who didn't manage to get any more food.
They themselves felt that their victory was inexplicable. The short ten days felt like a dream. When they came back to their senses, they had already entered the second round. They were still holding a frighteningly large bag of void coins in their hands. That was the bonus that Lonemoon gave them.
Lonemoon was the biggest winner of this competition. He held in his hands the void coins that others would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes. There were also more than sixty promissory notes! He was so happy that he even gave Shen Ying and Chef some pocket money.
He looked at the promissory notes in his hands and thought about the second competition in a few days. Instantly, he felt that he had a ninety percent chance of winning without doing anything.
— — —
The second competition was set to be three days later.
Lonemoon really felt that there was nothing much to prepare. He was just about to bring the master and disciple and Buggy there to have a good meal. But they welcomed their first guest in the Void Land, and it was someone familiar.
"Fellow Daoists, long time no see! The other party walked over quickly. "Are the few of you going out?"
"Ling Hong, why are you here?" Lonemoon instantly recognized the person in front of him. After all, in those ten days, his performance was the best among the four of them. "What's the matter?"
"I specially came to thank the few of you." With that said, he solemnly bowed to the few of them. He looked around before lowering his voice and said, "Regarding that Red Scented Fish Beast previously, I still have to thank the few of you."
"You're welcome!" Lonemoon smiled. "I said long ago that you bought it with your own money. It has nothing to do with us."
"That being said, if it wasn't for your kind intentions, we would not have been able to buy it." He still looked grateful. Thinking of something, he continued. "Oh yes, I'm here this time because I have news regarding the next competition. I want to inform the few of you."
"Oh? The competition schedule is out? "Lonemoon was stunned for a moment. Then he stepped aside." Let's go in and talk! "
Just as he was about to let Ling Hong enter the house, Chef and Shen Ying stood at the door without moving. Two pairs of resentful eyes stared at Father Niu.
Shen Ying: What happened to the promised meal?
Yi Qing: What happened to the promised feast?
Lonemoon: "…" Don't forget what you're here for?!
Only Buggy looked back and forth at the few of them with a confused expression. What was going on? Why weren't they moving? He was hungry too. After all, he had been eating plain rice for ten days.
"Alright!" Lonemoon glared at the two troublesome little rascals. "Go out and eat. Come back and reimburse, alright?"
"Yes, Father Niu. No problem, Father Niu!"
The two of them cheered. Their faces were full of joy as they walked out of the door. They even dragged Buggy along with them!
Ling Hong: "…" Why did he have the illusion that he was looking at a patriarchal compromise?
"Fellow Daoist Ling, please come in!" Lonemoon then led Ling Hong into the house. "Thank you for coming here personally."
"Fellow Daoist Lonemoon, you're too polite. This matter will be announced tomorrow. I'm just informing you a few hours in advance." Ling Hong said.
"Then I wonder what the second competition is about?"
Ling Hong frowned. Then, he said in a low voice, "It's much harder than the mystic realm last time. It's about breaking through the academy's Thousand Phenomenon Array."
"Thousand Phenomenon Array?" Lonemoon was stunned. "Is it an array formation?"
"Fellow Daoist is aware. The Thousand Phenomenon Array is an array formation set up by an Exalted Immortal from the Immortal Academy many years ago." He frowned and said, "There are thousands of changes in this array. There are many overlapping arrays inside. It's said to have the Thousand Phenomenon Array. It's not easy to walk out of it."
"Oh." If it was really just an array formation, then it would be easy. Both he and Chef were good at it.
