The bell tolled.
Li Yu and Meng Hao left the courtyard and followed the crowd to the central square of the Outer Sect.
Moments later, they arrived at the central square of the Outer Sect.
It was an enormous square. Around the square, towering stone pillars with dragon carvings were erected. Each of the stone pillars emitted a dazzling light.
At the very front of the square was a platform about ten meters wide. Atop the platform, rosy clouds curled around it. Immortal mist filled the air, and a few ethereal figures could be seen.
"The Reliance Sect … only has so few official disciples?"
When Li Yu and Meng Hao arrived at the square, they saw the one hundred Outer Sect disciples gathered around. They frowned.
"It seems that the Reliance Sect has declined!"
Meng Hao turned to look at Li Yu and sighed.
"Dong …"
At this moment, another bell tolled from the platform.
As the bell tolled, all of the Outer Sect disciples in the square held their breaths and waited.
Obviously, the time for the Pill Release Ceremony had arrived!
The rosy clouds covering the platform slowly dissipated, revealing the figure within.
An old man in a long golden robe stood in the center of the platform. His eyes were like lightning, and his expression was dignified without anger.
Beside the golden-robed elder stood a man and a woman. The man was handsome and had an aura of righteousness. As for the woman … she was the one who had captured Li Yu, Meng Hao, and the others from Mount Daqing.
"Is Master Uncle Shangguan here to release the Pill Release Ceremony?"
"Chen Fan and Xu Qing from the Inner Sect are both here?"
The Outer Sect disciples who knew the inside story were shocked by the Pill Release Ceremony.
There were only two Inner Sect disciples in the entire Reliance Sect. One was Chen Fan, and the other was Xu Qing. Now, they were both here for the Pill Release Ceremony? What was going on?
"Today, I will be presiding over the Pill Release Ceremony."
The golden-robed old man, Shangguan Xiu, swept his gaze over the crowd. His majestic aura surged out like a raging tide, causing the Outer Sect disciples to tremble and lower their heads.
However …
The pressure of a mere Qi Condensation cultivator was nothing to Li Yu, and he didn't care at all.
Even Meng Hao was completely calm, and didn't reveal any signs of panic or fear.
"Eh?"
Shangguan Xiu noticed Li Yu and Meng Hao, who were like cranes in a flock of chickens. His eyes flashed with a strange light.
Inner Sect disciples Chen Fan and Xu Qing also glanced at Li Yu and Xu Qing with surprise in their eyes.
"This time, everyone will receive one Spirit Concentration Pill and one spirit stone."
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, and more than a hundred medicinal pills and spirit stones fell into the hands of the disciples. They were just right, without the slightest difference.
"Does the pill … have a seal?"
Meng Hao looked at the medicinal pill in his hand, which was enveloped by a layer of fluorescent light. He couldn't open it, so he couldn't consume it.
"It's just a spiritual power seal. It'll be undone in an hour. But … it looks like it's to prevent the medicinal strength from leaking out. But, this is the root of all the fighting and killing! "
Li Yu sighed and shook his head.
The pills didn't have this spiritual power seal, so they could be consumed immediately after being given out. With this spiritual energy seal in place, if he couldn't open the seal within an hour and swallow the pill, then … he would be able to snatch it!
"Brother Li, I'm afraid that the medicinal pills and spirit stones in our hands will also be snatched away. If that's the case … "
Meng Hao looked at Li Yu, his eyes flashing.
"Hehe!"
Li Yu smiled and nodded his head. The two scammers had reached an agreement, and were ready to scam others.
"Today's pill distribution was supposed to be over, but …"
At this time, Shangguan Xiu suddenly spoke up from the high platform, and then took out two glittering medicinal pills from his bag of holding.
"These are Dry Spirit Pills!"
Holding up the two pills, Shangguan Xiu's eyes shone with a hint of ridicule.
"They're actually Dry Spirit Pills!"
At this moment, the entire square was filled with heat. The crowd of Outer Sect disciples began to breathe rapidly.
Dry Spirit Pills are high level pills. Even Inner Sect disciples rarely see them, let alone Outer Sect disciples.
"I wonder who Elder Shangguan will give these pills to?"
"Hehe! No matter who it is, they're dead meat! "
An Elder bestowing pills is not an opportunity, it's … a path to death!
No matter who gets these high level pills, everyone will fight over them.
Even if you throw them away, who will you give them to? Those who get the pills won't be grateful, and those who don't will hate you. Either way, you're dead meat!
"I'm very pleased to see that there are new talents in the Sect."
Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept over the square, and then … it rested on Li Yu and Meng Hao. A slight smile appeared on his face, as if he really appreciated these two "talents".
"These two Dry Spirit Pills are for you!"
With a wave of his hand, the two Dry Spirit Pills landed in the hands of Li Yu and Meng Hao.
"Holy crap!"
Looking at the Dry Spirit Pills in his hand, Meng Hao's heart thumped.
At this moment, he clearly felt as if he had become the focus of everyone's attention. The greedy and vicious gazes seemed to want to burn him to ashes.
"It's nothing! Although it exceeded our expectations, but … isn't it just a bit too much? "
Li Yu patted Meng Hao's shoulder, "We are scholars. Our hearts are filled with the dangers of mountains and rivers, and our hearts are filled with shrewdness. Everything is under our control."
"I understand!"
Meng Hao took a deep breath, his eyes shining, "Even if the affairs of the world are like a game of chess, we can still calmly arrange the pieces. Then … let's play a good show!"
"Kid, throw the pills to me in a moment!"
"If you don't give them to me, then next year today will be the anniversary of your death!"
At this time, several voices rang out, their cold voices filled with ruthlessness.
Of course, Li Yu and Meng Hao didn't pay attention to these threats.
The Immortal cloud on the high platform rose up. Elder Shangguan and the two Inner Sect disciples were already preparing to leave.
"Reporting to Elder, we have something to say!"
At this time, Li Yu and Meng Hao spoke at the same time, bowing towards the high platform.
"Oh? What do you have to say? "
Shangguan Xiu, Chen Fan and Xu Qing, who were just about to leave, looked at Li Yu and Meng Hao with astonishment. The two's actions were very unexpected.
"Reporting to Elder!"
Li Yu reached out and held up the Dry Spirit Pill, his face full of smiles, "We are indebted to Elder's kindness for bestowing the Dry Spirit Pill. The two of us are ashamed, we do not dare to accept."
"We are indebted to the Sect for nurturing us. How can we monopolize such a precious treasure? After thinking about it, we came up with a solution. "
"The two of us are willing to take out two Dry Spirit Pills, two Qi Condensation Pills and two Spirit Stones as prizes. Taking advantage of the presence of Elder and the two Inner Sect Brothers and Sisters, we will hold an Outer Sect Grand Competition here. "
"In this way, not only will it motivate the Sect disciples to cultivate, but it will also serve the Sect. We ask for Elder's approval!"
After saying this, Li Yu and Meng Hao bowed together.
"Outer Sect Grand Competition? You want to use your pills and spirit stones as prizes? Hehe, this is a little interesting! "
Shangguan Xiu looked at the two of them with interest and slowly nodded his head, "Then, I approve!"
Thus … what was supposed to be a free-for-all competition actually turned into an Outer Sect Grand Competition!
Li Yu and Meng Hao, these two scammers, laughed strangely in their hearts!
What competition, isn't it a good time to cheat people?
