"Do you think I don't know this!" Cao Guang said angrily.
Actually, Cao Guang had already reserved a spot for those Foundation Establishment disciples who had the potential to advance or form their cores. Now that this commotion had happened, it was hard to implement it.
"If they want to compete, then let them compete!" Patriarch Cao Guang snorted angrily and said, "Draft a fair competition plan for me. Change the quota to one hundred and fifty."
Zhong Xihong was also very happy that the Foundation Establishment disciples had the qualifications to participate. He hurriedly said, "Yes."
"That's it." Patriarch Cao Guang flicked his sleeves and left.
Zhong Xihong asked again, "Uncle-Master, what should we do with the troublemaker, Li Heizi?"
Cao Guang's footsteps paused. Without turning back, he said, "Punish him … If he wants to enter the array, he has to be in the top ten!"
Two days later, the Internal Blade Hall made an announcement.
"Cloud Talisman Sect's internal competition rules: First place will receive a cave abode with abundant Spirit Qi (Existing cave abode must be returned to original cave abode). Second place will receive a middle-grade, low-tier spirit beast, immortal bird, egg of a Defiant Feather Golden Eagle. Third place will receive a high-grade Dharma artifact, Rainbow Cloud Damask. The top twenty Qi Refinement cultivators will receive a Foundation Establishment Pill. The top 150 will receive a special reward. "
Seeing the new reward plan, the disciples gathered in front of the announcement were extremely excited. It could be said that this was the most generous reward in history. Not only was there a Foundation Establishment Pill, but there was also a cave abode, immortal bird, and a high-grade Dharma artifact. Oh my god! It was too cool!
Even Ye Kong was a little tempted. High-grade Dharma artifacts were very attractive. He heard that it was a flying Dharma artifact. The flying speed was extremely fast. Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was that this Rainbow Cloud Damask could transform into a rainbow cloud for cultivators to hide in.
Think about it, who would expect someone to hide in a rainbow cloud in the sky? This was definitely a necessary Dharma artifact for peeking at people having sex in the wild or hiding from enemies.
As for the immortal bird, it was not bad either. It was already very high for a middle-grade, low-tier beast. Moreover, it was a ferocious eagle. One could even lie on it and have an open party!
The last cave abode was naturally something that Ye yearned for even in his dreams. When he was in Southern City, he had fantasized about having such a cave abode filled with Spirit Qi. It was like a home for a cultivator, and it had a different meaning. In the cave, he could plant spirit herbs, raise spirit beasts, or bring Bai Jie 'er over and have sex with her every day … how cool would that be! More importantly, he wasn't afraid of others finding out about his little secrets.
Although Ye Kong was also tempted, he still suppressed it. After all, it was not easy to get into the top three. He could not afford to take out his ancient treasures and magical weapons. Furthermore, if he really got into the top three, he would be famous in Wu Country. He did not want to be in the limelight.
He had to keep a low profile. Magical artifacts, immortal birds, and cave abodes were all like fleeting clouds. What a fleeting cloud! Ye Kong continued reading.
"The internal score is divided into three stages. First round of auditions. Aura Refining and Foundation Building disciples would compete separately. Aura Refining disciples would rank in the top 100, while Foundation Building disciples would rank in the top 50. Second elimination. All disciples will compete together, and the top 50 disciples will be chosen. Three finals. The top fifty will compete against each other to determine the first, second, third, and the twenty Aura Refining disciples. "
When Ye Kong saw this, he felt that it was much fairer. During the auditions, Aura Refining disciples would fight against Aura Refining disciples, and there would only be one hundred spots. In other words, as long as Aura Refining disciples passed the auditions, they would have the opportunity to enter the spiritual energy array and would not have to compete against Foundation Building disciples.
And the next rule was even more advantageous for Aura Refining disciples.
"Aura Refining disciples against Foundation Building disciples. If the Aura Refining disciple can last for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, the Aura Refining disciple will be the winner."
This rule was easy to understand. The difference of one level between Aura Refining and Foundation Building could be said to be like the difference between heaven and earth. Even if it was Peak Qi Refining and 1st level Foundation Building, the difference was still quite large. The time it takes for two incense sticks to burn was about one hour. If a Foundation Building master couldn't defeat a small Aura Refining cultivator in one hour, then of course he would lose.
Although this rule was obviously advantageous for Aura Refining disciples, there were not many Aura Refining cultivators who could take advantage of it. One hour was not a short time. For ordinary small Aura Refining cultivators, even if they continuously controlled their magical weapons, their spiritual energy would still be far from enough to last for an hour. Moreover, the opponent was a Foundation Building master with a profound cultivation level and excellent magical weapons.
He continued to read.
"Those who are not allowed to participate: First, Core Formation and above; Second, those who have been stuck in a certain realm for three years without making any progress; Third, those who have reached the peak of the Aura Refining realm can participate in the competition, but they will not enjoy the opportunity to receive special rewards; Fourth, those who have reached the peak of the Foundation Building realm can participate, but they will not be counted in the rankings and will not receive any rewards; Fifth …"
These rules were also very easy to understand. If one's cultivation level was stagnant for a long time, then they must have encountered a bottleneck. These people entering the array would be completely useless. Bottlenecks were not that easy to pass. No matter how abundant the spiritual energy was, it would still be in vain.
As for those who had reached the peak of the Aura Refining realm not being allowed to participate, that was the same reason. If they couldn't break through to the next realm, it would be useless no matter how much spiritual energy they absorbed.
"En, we outer hall disciples are still very satisfied with the revised plan this time." Ye Kong couldn't help but praise.
"That's right. This way, even if Foundation Building disciples participate in the competition, it won't affect the one hundred spots for us outer hall disciples." An unknown Aura Refining cultivator behind him also voiced his agreement.
However, another Aura Refining cultivator sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Senior Martial Brother Li has suffered!"
"What's there to suffer about?" Ye Kong was baffled.
That cultivator pointed at the last row of small characters and said, "Senior Martial Brother Li, didn't you see it? In addition: Li Heizi from the outer hall gathered a crowd to cause trouble and roared at the Outer Blade Hall. All prizes will be cancelled (unless you enter the top ten in the finals). "
Upon hearing this, Ye Kong fell to the ground with a thud and groaned in pain, "Oh my god! Top ten in the finals … Just kill me! "
The surrounding Aura Refining disciples immediately encouraged him. "Senior Martial Brother Li, we believe you have this ability. As the number one disciple of the outer hall, we believe you absolutely won't lose face for the outer hall. You won't trample those Foundation Building masters under your feet and let them know that no matter how strong they are, we'll never compromise and we'll never retreat!"
Ye Kong wanted to vomit blood. Are you guys encouraging me? You guys just want to see the world in chaos!
Originally, Ye Kong only wanted to enter the top one hundred in the Aura Refining realm, but now, he was forced to risk his life. Entering the top ten in the finals meant that he had to defeat several Foundation Building disciples. If he fought outside, he could use all kinds of ancient treasures, magic tools, talisman treasures, powerful talismans, or even big jade. What would Foundation Building disciples amount to? But now, he couldn't use a lot of methods, so it would be very difficult for him. He couldn't possibly go bare-chested and compete with Foundation Building cultivators, right?
Ye Kong made up his mind. He decided to take advantage of the remaining half a month to prepare some powerful magic tools that he could use.
Early the next morning, Ye Kong went out again and went straight to Sishui City's Yi Clan's business to buy magic tools.
