Early the next morning, Xuan Yuanyu came to invite Shen Ying to watch the competition. Behind him were a few disciples of his own family. They were all very polite. Compared to the family master's politeness towards Shen Ying, the disciples seemed to be more respectful towards Yi Qing and Lonemoon. It was probably because they were beating different people.
Shen Ying sat calmly on the highest level of the spectator stand at the same place and seat. Today was the second day of the competition. It was mainly a duel to determine the top ten of each level. There were many disciples from the four big families. It was almost certain that they would make it to the top ten. That was why the family masters of the Yin and Yu Families did not come. There were many empty seats on the high platform. Xuan Yuanyu finally had a place to sit.
Apart from the few of them, the family master of the Yi Family, Yi Feng, was also present. However, he came alone, with no one beside him.
Shen Ying looked at him curiously. Yi Feng immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and said, "Xue Yin seems to be sick. No matter how I persuaded it, it wouldn't go out today. I left it in the yard."
"Oh." So it's the canine plague?
"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be very interested in spirit beasts?"
She nodded. "Yes, I quite like small animals." She liked to eat.
"Looks like you're a kindred spirit as well." Yi Feng was delighted. The art of taming beasts required one to spend a long time with spirit beasts. Sometimes, in order to gain the beast's trust, one had to live with it. That was why few female cultivators liked the art of taming beasts, especially high-level spirit beasts like Xue Yin. Now that he had finally met someone special, his interest was immediately piqued. "Although most spirit beasts look scary, after spending a long time with them, you'll find that beasts are actually more affectionate than humans. My Xue Yin is an example. Once it recognizes its master, it will stay by his side forever. However, people value their appearance and think that beasts are too cruel and terrifying. "
"They're not cruel." She suddenly thought of a certain rabbit. "Although it's a little timid, it's quite loyal. I like it very much."
"Hahahaha, well said, Miss. Compared to humans, spirit beasts are indeed more loyal and reliable. " Yi Feng had not met a female cultivator who liked taming beasts for a long time. She seemed to be a high-level cultivator who hid her strength well. He immediately wanted to make friends with her. "I am Yi Feng, the family master of the Yi Family. How should I address you, Miss?"
"Shen Ying," she answered. Then, after some thought, she added, "It's the sect master of Invincible Sect."
"Invincible Sect …" Yi Feng paused for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he still could not remember what sect it was, so he did not pay much attention to it. "I see that Fellow Daoist Shen's Spirit Qi is restrained, so you must be someone with high cultivation. If you are interested in the future, we can go to the Shore of Mirage Sea to look for some high-level spirit beasts. Rumor has it that there are many spirit beasts that can't even be found in the Three Azure Realms."
"Really!" Shen Ying was delighted. "Is it delicious?"
"Ah?" Yi Feng was stunned. What did he mean by delicious? After thinking about it carefully, he thought that she was referring to the taming techniques. "The higher the rank of the spiritual beast, the harder it is to contract and tame it. I'm sure it won't be easily tamed. By the way, fellow cultivator Shen seems to be someone who has done quite a bit of research on beasts. I wonder if you have any special methods to deal with those arrogant spirit beasts, especially those above the tenth level, who are unwilling to easily form contracts with them? "
"Yes!" Shen Ying nodded.
"Really?" Yi Feng was delighted. "What is it?"
"A beating will do."
"Ah? Ah! "Yi Feng was stunned.
But she continued in a serious tone, "Little animals are not obedient. Most of them are spoiled. A beating will make them obedient! If that doesn't work, they can still be eaten. "
"…" What the hell?
"Master, the competition is over," Yi Qing suddenly said.
Only then did Shen Ying realize that the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment preliminary competitions had ended. Today's competition ended especially quickly. There were not many people left on the stage. The top ten candidates had already been decided. Fortunately, Invincible Sect not only had two people from the Foundation Establishment group in the top ten, but they also had two people from the Golden Core group. One was Yu Hong, and the other was Si Yu. Out of the nine of them, four of them had made it to the finals. This was definitely a pleasant surprise. Lonemoon, who was at the side, was grinning from ear to ear. Lonemoon, who was standing at the side, was grinning so widely that his mouth was crooked.
"That person … Goodbye." Shen Ying hurriedly stopped chatting and turned to walk down the stage.
"Take care, fellow cultivator Shen," Yi Feng replied in a daze. The method she mentioned just now was probably a joke, right? It had to be, right?
— — —
Four people had made it to the top ten, and two of them were in the finals of the Golden Core stage. Lonemoon was the happiest. This year's hard work had not gone to waste. Although the direction of his cultivation was a little off, the results were still gratifying. He suddenly had confidence in the sect again.
There were thousands of sects participating this time, especially people from the four aristocratic families. They were all the cream of the crop of the younger generation. Which one of them was not a talent carefully nurtured by the aristocratic families? Among these ten people, apart from those from Invincible Sect, the others were almost all disciples of the aristocratic families. As a result, the four names of Invincible Sect were especially obvious.
He could even feel that on the way back to the courtyard, the other sects were looking at them differently. Some were fearful, some were envious, and some were shocked. But they did not look down on them like before. Lonemoon's goal of advertising had been achieved. He could almost see the sea of people queuing in front of him the next time he went to Upper Azure Town to recruit disciples.
At the thought of this, he could not contain his excitement. This time, he had to watch over the new disciples and prevent any possibility of contact with Shen Ying. This time, he was going to nurture a group of pure sword cultivators.
After returning to the courtyard, Lonemoon praised the nine people one by one, especially the four who had advanced. He also comforted their nervous hearts for the upcoming finals.
He had thought that they would at least be excited, but they did not respond to his praise at all. They only looked at Shen Ying, as if they were expecting something. Even a certain someone who had a screw loose could feel his concentration. She was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she turned her head and complimented him.
"Not bad, keep it up!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Only then did they respond loudly as if their acupoints had been unlocked. Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
Lonemoon: "…" Son of a b * tch!
"Xuan Yuanyu requests to see Great Immortal Shen. I wonder if it is convenient for Great Immortal?" A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Before Shen Ying could respond, Radish rushed out with a long face. He glared angrily at the newcomer and said, "What are you doing here? Do you want to ravage my body again?! "
"…" The corner of Xuan Yuanyu's mouth twitched. He seemed to have thought of something and felt a mouthful of blood welling up. Looking at Shen Ying, who came out behind him, he had no choice but to swallow it down.
Heh heh … He felt that after what happened last night, he had doubts about his Dao of pill cultivation. He could no longer look directly at the herbs for refining pills.
