"Presumptuous request? Tell me about it. "Hearing this, the black-robed old man showed a look of interest. [△. ai

"Disciple hopes that Martial Uncle won't spread this news. After all, we don't know if they have any accomplices. If their accomplices know that disciple killed the three of them, who knows if their accomplices will retaliate against disciple?" Wang Changsheng said worriedly.
"What, are you worried that I won't be able to protect you?" The black-robed old man raised an eyebrow and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"That's not it, but it's easier to dodge an open spear than an arrow in the dark. Disciple doesn't want to always be on guard against an arrow in the back. Furthermore, even if they don't dare to do anything to disciple, there's no guarantee that they won't do anything to disciple's clansmen. Disciple's clan is only a small one and doesn't have any high level cultivators. Disciple hopes that Martial Uncle Li can grant me this wish." Wang Changsheng hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, that's more like it. I can announce that the three of them were killed by our Disciplinary Hall. That way, you won't have to worry about their accomplices retaliating against your clansmen. However, you cannot spread this news and must keep it strictly confidential." The black-robed old man rolled his eyes and spoke.
What Wang Changsheng didn't know was that the three of them were already wanted by the Taiqing Palace. Any Taiqing Palace disciple that captured or killed the three of them would receive a merit. Since Wang Changsheng didn't want this merit, the black-robed old man naturally didn't mind letting his trusted aide take this merit. Of course, if a Core Formation elder asked, he would answer truthfully. After all, the three of them had strongly requested to do so and he wasn't deliberately hiding the truth. However, according to his estimation, a Core Formation elder wouldn't care about such a small matter.
"Disciple understands. Many thanks to Martial Uncle Li for granting my wish." Wang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh in relief when he heard this.
"Alright, I still have matters to attend to. You can leave first! Return the way you came and don't wander off. "The black-robed old man nodded and instructed.
"Yes, Martial Uncle Li." Wang Changsheng bowed and left respectfully.
After exiting the pavilion, Wang Changsheng walked back along the path he came from. Along the way, he encountered many black-clothed cultivators. When they saw Wang Changsheng, a strange look flashed in their eyes. After a few questions, they let Wang Changsheng leave.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Wang Changsheng flew towards the Duty Tower on his flying tool.
Wang Changsheng had just put away the Scarlet Spirit Boat when he saw Wang Xuan walk out of the Duty Tower with Song Jie by his side.
"Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Song." Wang Changsheng smiled and greeted the two.
"Brother Wang." When Wang Xuan and Song Jie saw Wang Changsheng, they looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Wang Changsheng had been missing for so long. They thought that Wang Changsheng had died in the hands of the grey-clothed old man. They didn't expect him to still be alive.
The two quickly walked over to Wang Changsheng. Wang Xuan carefully looked at Wang Changsheng and explained, "Brother Wang, are you okay? After we escaped that day, we immediately went back to the market to get reinforcements. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the scene of the incident, you were already gone. "
"Yes! Senior Martial Brother Wang, the martial uncles even conducted a large-scale search and captured quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators of unknown origins, "Song Jie added.
"I'm fine, but I suffered some injuries. These days, I've been recuperating in the mansion, so I didn't contact you." Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, I'm relieved that you're fine. By the way, after Brother Wang's injuries are healed, what plans do you have? Do you still want to continue hunting monsters?" Wang Xuan first comforted him, then changed his tone and asked Wang Changsheng about his future plans.
Hearing this, Song Jie looked at Wang Changsheng with a look of anticipation. When hunting demonic beasts, sometimes they would be able to pick up some spirit herbs. These spirit herbs were mostly left for him to refine pills, so he naturally hoped that Wang Changsheng would continue hunting demonic beasts with them.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "No, I was lucky to be able to escape this time. If it happened again, I'm afraid my life would have been lost." In fact, if he hadn't used the Guiding Lightning Talisman to kill the grey-clothed old man's companions, the outcome would have been difficult to determine.
"Regarding this, Junior Brother Wang, you can rest assured. After this incident, our Sect's Martial Uncles stationed in the marketplace have cleaned up the entire marketplace. I believe that they will not dare to attack our Sect's disciples again."
"No, I've already made up my mind. No matter how much money I earn, I still need to be alive to spend it." When Wang Changsheng heard this, his eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. He didn't expect that because of this incident, the sect would purge the cultivators in the market. Even so, he still refused Wang Xuan's proposal.
This incident also reminded Wang Changsheng that if he didn't have enough strength, the Tai Qing Palace's name wouldn't be of much use. After escaping from the gates of hell, he especially treasured his life. Now that he had more than 80,000 contribution points, he could work a little harder and draw more talismans. He would be able to earn 2000 contribution points in a month, and he would still be able to gather 120,000 contribution points in a year.
"Could it be that Junior Brother wants to participate in our sect's Large Competition that is held once every ten years? But as far as I know, the Large Competition won't be held for another two months. During this time, Junior Brother might as well hunt Monster Beasts and earn more Contribution Points. "Wang Xuan didn't give up and continued to persuade him.
"Senior Brother Wang, there's no need to say anymore, I've already made up my mind. Right, what is this Large Competition all about? Are there any special rewards?" Wang Changsheng shook his head and refused, then immediately changed the topic.
"Our sect has always had a Small Competition every five years and a Large Competition every ten years. Junior Brother has already participated in this Large Competition. It can be said to be a grand event for our sect because those who obtain a ranking in the Large Competition will be rewarded with a Foundation Establishment Pill. In addition, there are also Magic Tools, Medicinal Pills, Spirit Stones and other rewards. The rewards are more than ten times more generous than the Small Competition." When he finished speaking, a trace of yearning appeared on Wang Xuan's face.
"Foundation Establishment Pill?" When Wang Changsheng heard this, his expression changed. One had to know that the reason he was desperately accumulating Contribution Points was to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. However, Wang Changsheng also discovered that when the Foundation Establishment Pill was mentioned, there wasn't much of a change in their expressions. It was as if the two of them couldn't participate. After all, one of them was at the Great Circle of Qi Refining.
The other was at the thirteenth layer of Qi Refining. Could it be that this Large Competition had some kind of restriction?
Thinking up to this point, Wang Changsheng said, "I'm afraid that not everyone can participate in the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Senior Martial Brother Wang is right. Not everyone can participate in this Large Competition. First of all, you have to be under thirty years old. When we entered the Taiqing Palace, the youngest was fifteen or sixteen years old. The Large Competition is held once every ten years. In other words, each of us can only participate in one Large Competition. In addition, we can only complete the missions issued by the Duty Tower and earn Contribution Points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills." Song Jie nodded and spoke. When he finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he suddenly understood. He deeply agreed with the way the Sect was doing things. One had to know that there were over ten thousand Qi Refining disciples in the Taiqing Palace. If the Large Competition didn't limit the age of participants, then the Foundation Establishment Pills would probably fall into the hands of the older disciples who had entered the Sect earlier. Although there weren't many disciples who had reached the Great Circle of Qi Refining before the age of thirty, there were quite a few disciples who had reached the Great Circle of Qi Refining before the age of thirty. This was quite unfair to the disciples who had just entered the Sect.
"However, this Large Competition isn't without danger. It will also be held in the Demon Sealing Pagoda. The Demon Sealing Pagoda will transform into monsters and ghosts that are even more powerful than when you first entered the Sect. If you're not careful, you can die inside. There are quite a few disciples who lose their lives in each Large Competition," Song Jie said with deep meaning.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's heart trembled. Although there might be danger to one's life, compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, this little bit of danger was nothing. Cultivators were originally going against the will of the heavens. For the sake of immortality, even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, they still had to try. In the Cultivation World, there was a saying: "Those below the Foundation Establishment Stage are all mortals, and those below the Yuanying Stage are all ants." This sentence was very easy to understand. Cultivators who failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage were only mortals with a longer lifespan. Cultivators who failed to reach the Yuanying Stage were no more than insignificant ants in the Cultivation World.
Because of this, the Foundation Establishment Stage was an extremely important stage for all cultivators. If you succeeded, you would be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. If you failed, you would just be eating and waiting for death.
"Of course, if you can get a good ranking in the Large Competition, you might be noticed by the branch elders and be accepted as a nominal disciple. If you succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can go one step further and be accepted as an official disciple. With the help of an elder, your future path will be much easier," Wang Xuan continued.
Wang Changsheng nodded. According to what the two of them said, although the Large Competition was dangerous, under the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the opportunity to become an apprentice to an elder, there would definitely be many disciples participating. If he wanted to get a good ranking, it wouldn't be easy.
It was impossible for Wang Changsheng to not be tempted by the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, he didn't know much about the Large Competition. Wang Xuan and Song Jie were both over thirty years old, so they might have participated in the Large Competition. If the two of them had participated in the Large Competition, then their experiences might be able to be used as a reference.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng said, "That's right, senior brother Wang and junior brother Song, have you two participated in the Large Competition? Can you tell me about your experiences? "
"I didn't participate. I had some matters to attend to and missed the Large Competition. However, I remember that senior brother Wang participated. I think you even reached the fifth floor," Song Jie said.
"I did participate and reached the fifth floor. However, this matter can't be explained in such a short time. Moreover, this isn't the place to talk. Anyway, we have nothing to do today. Let's go to Brother Wang's residence and talk about it in detail!" Wang Xuan nodded and said with a frown as he looked around.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's face lit up and he hurriedly replied, "No problem. Then I'll thank senior brother Wang. However, before that, I'll have to ask senior brother Wang and junior brother Song to wait for a moment. I'll go to the Duty Tower to exchange for some healing pills."
Wang Xuan and Song Jie didn't react to this and immediately agreed.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng quickly walked into the Duty Tower and went straight to the third floor. After exchanging for some healing pills, he quickly walked out of the Duty Tower. He released the Crimson Spirit Boat and flew the two of them back to his residence.
After an hour, Wang Changsheng sent the two of them out of the courtyard with a smile on his face. After closing the courtyard door, the smile on his face disappeared and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
According to Wang Xuan, the Large Competition was different from the Entrance Trial. One had to pass through nine levels in a row. Each level had demons and ghosts, and the last level would transform into four Class 1 high rank monsters. Fortunately, the Taiqing Palace would give each participating disciple a jade talisman. If they couldn't defeat their opponent, they could crush the jade talisman and be teleported out of the Suppressing Demon Pagoda. However, in every Large Competition, there were still many disciples who couldn't crush the jade talisman in time and were killed by the demons and ghosts.
According to Wang Changsheng's evaluation of himself, even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he could use the large number of talismans in his hand to buy some time. And this time was enough for him to crush the jade talisman and be teleported out. Even if it was dangerous, for the sake of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could only risk it once.
Since he was going to participate in the Large Competition, he had to be fully prepared. Now, Wang Changsheng didn't lack powerful offensive talismans, but he didn't have any middle rank defensive talismans. Needless to say, the Golden Moon Sword, the Demon Binding Chain, and the Profound Spirit Shield were all top rank magic tools. In addition, he also had several high rank magic tools and several talisman treasures. He only had one Scarlet Flame Pearl left.
Due to the shortage of a certain material, the Scarlet Flame Pearl was no longer sold to the public. If he wanted to obtain a Scarlet Flame Pearl, he had to exchange for it with 3000 contribution points. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wang Changsheng didn't want to use the last Scarlet Flame Pearl in his hand.
