"Got it …" Lu Sheng didn't bother to ask about the relationship between Su Ningfei and that girl. That wasn't something he should know.
Lu Sheng's eyes started searching quickly in the box above. Soon, he found the description of the clay tablet in a square at the end.
A few more people came into the yard. Two of them were the girl in the red dress and the scholar with the black jade pendant who had entered the inner yard with him.
After discussing the price, Lu Sheng stood with the two and waited for the projection to guide him to the battle.
Suddenly, a burst of golden radiance lit up the ruined and shattered ground.
"If I know the way to learn the clay tablet, what are my chances of breaking through?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.
A few more days passed. After more than ten days of getting to know each other, Lu Sheng more or less understood the rules of the Inner Yard through his many contacts with Zhang Songhui.
However, Lu Sheng wasn't looking for him, but Zhang Songhui, who he'd slowly become familiar with.
The thirty or so people formed a circle. Lu Sheng stood at the back, looking at the changed surroundings.
This person seemed to have good potential and strength, but his luck was bad. Plus, his identity was mysterious, so it was normal for him to spend some money to enter the outer yard.
"A kid from the Thousand Sun Sect?" Dragon Vulture moved his gaze away and looked in the direction his junior brother was pointing. He happened to see Lu Sheng slowly walking in the Thousand Sun Sect's group.
He placed a lot of importance on this master's mission. Spirit was his weakness. If he could break through to Devil Master through the clay tablet, he might be able to completely overcome this weakness.
About half an hour later, Zhang Songhui returned with detailed information.
"Unknown Blade Mark: Uninitiated. Special Effect: Unknown."
As Lu Sheng absorbed the Essence Qi, he simulated the saber moves at the same time. Soon, four hours passed.
"That woman came down after all. Chen Yuedu, I must get revenge for last time!"
"Pray … pray that I find the person I'm looking for."
"I want you to participate in a battle. It will start in five days. Almost all the elite disciples will participate. The three sects will choose three people to enter the Divine Dao Palace and receive teachings from a Weapon Master. I've already recommended you. Go in and find me a girl who looks and has a similar figure to me. They might have disguised themselves, so you'll have to deal with that yourself. I only want results, "Su Ningfei said solemnly. "After this is done, I'll explain to you how to comprehend the clay tablet."
A courtyard could accommodate a total of ten people. Once the courtyard of these ten people was full, they would be assigned a daily teacher according to the arrangements made by the higher-ups. If they needed any guidance or trouble, they could go to the fixed teacher in the courtyard.
The people under the Spirit Bind Sect's banner teased casually.
Lu Sheng frowned as he felt that the workload was a little overwhelming.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you sure you want to participate in the contest?" Zhang Songhui asked again. "You might not know this, but although the contest is carried out in a special way, and you don't have to personally enter, if an accident happens inside, it will still cause serious damage to your body. If the damage is to your soul, it will also be reflected back to your body. It's not as safe as you think."
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find anything special about these knife techniques.
The two of them bade farewell to Lu Sheng and moved into their respective rooms.
"I know." Lu Sheng nodded. "Senior Brother Zhang, please sign me up. The process is a little complicated. How much?"
The girl in the red dress was called Dan Junya. She didn't greet Lu Sheng much, but she seemed to be very familiar with the scholar. The two of them didn't wear the Thousand Sun Sect's robes and went out all day.
A few people under the banner of the Thousand Sun Sect quickly approached the golden light and stood at the edge, waiting for the light to fade.
"Thirty percent … Deal." This was quite a high chance. Lu Sheng nodded and stood up.
"To prevent her from disguising herself, it's best to cripple everyone you meet, and then slowly check them."
Four hours passed quickly. Lu Sheng slowly exited the secret area.
He also started to think about where to earn Devil Gold.
Lu Sheng's eyes scanned the Spirit Bind Sect people.
There was no True Qi, Devil Qi, Inner Qi, or any other aura on them. They looked more like ordinary knife marks.
"In an hour, at noon, someone will pick up all the participants and send them to the outside world to participate in the contest."
If he really couldn't go down, and he had to pay for a place to stay, Lu Sheng planned to try out the True Essence Tower. This also required Devil Gold.
Not far away, a group of Spirit Bind Sect people who had also just broken through the realm slowly gathered together.
Of course, the fixed teachers would also deduct some of the fees from the house as their own fixed fees.
"An hour … Are we entering from the outside world?" the girl, Xie Yuqiong, asked in a low voice.
After Zhang Songhui completed the procedures for the three of them at the crystal, he quickly left to help the three of them register at other places.
"Do you remember what you promised me?" Su Ningfei sat on a purple crystal throne and rested her head on her hand. She seemed a bit tired.
"To prevent her from escaping, we must find a place where everyone must pass."
"I remember." Lu Sheng sat cross-legged not far in front of her on the ground, carefully studying the tablet. Hearing her question, Lu Sheng didn't even raise his head.
"Since Teacher said the opponent is in this contest, then we must find him no matter what."
After exiting the secret area, he rested for the night. The next day, he walked around the inner yard and continued studying the tablet in the secret area at night. Gradually, he realized that all the knife marks on the tablet were made from the same angle. No matter the angle or depth, all the knife marks were made from the same place.
"How can the Thousand Sun Sect be more suitable than the Golden Sun Sect? Everyone here is rich and powerful. "
The entire plaza suddenly lit up with a golden light. Everyone was enveloped in the golden light, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He glanced in the direction of the Spirit Bind Sect, and decided to start from the resting area of the three sects.
Breaking through to Divine Lord and Devil Master was never easy. Su Ningfei only gave him a thirty percent chance because she didn't know much about him. If she knew that Lu Sheng had the Modifier, she would probably increase the thirty percent by a lot.
At this time, Su Ningfei unexpectedly returned.
"Hiss …"
As long as there was a way, no matter what the probability was, Lu Sheng could use the Modifier to increase it to one hundred percent.
Black Seal Temple.
"Hm?" Suddenly, a disciple looked in the direction of the Thousand Sun Sect with surprise. "Senior Brother Long, the kid from the Thousand Sun Sect that the elder mentioned is here too."
"Senior Brother Zhang." Lu Sheng quickly walked over. He looked at the two people chatting beside him. One was a mature and mature long-haired woman in a green shirt, and the other was a slightly childish man in a white shirt standing next to her.
"I'm leaving. Be careful, "Zhang Songhui said in a low voice. He took the money from the three of them, turned around, and flew away.
Soon, he saw Zhang Songhui chatting with someone next to one of the corners of the hexagonal crystal.
There weren't many people in the inner courtyard of the Thousand Sun Sect, and it was quite deserted. Apart from the entrance and the dining hall, the other places were mostly empty.
After waiting for a while, two dark blue figures finally flew over and landed lightly in the center of the plaza. They were two elders of the Thousand Sun Sect with long beards and serious expressions. Both of them had the badge and symbol of an elder.
He slowly gripped the golden hammer in his hand, and his expression became ferocious.
Before he came, he had already decided that he had to find the girl his teacher was looking for.
There were ninety-nine houses in total, but not all of them were occupied.
"Ten Devil Gold. All three of you are the same. I'll help you complete the five steps. You just need to be guided by the projection. The location is here, and talismans will be given out in the plaza. "Zhang Songhui nodded. "The location is outside. Some of the natives will participate. Be careful."
"Activate the World Breaking Stone immediately. It will cover the entire plaza. Disciples who are not participating, please leave immediately," the other elder said loudly.
…
"The contest will be entered with full projection. The so-called projection relies on taking a portion of the soul and body's power, projecting it into an area, enlarging it, and restoring it to its original state for use. The real body will be stored in a fixed area for protection," Su Ningfei explained. "The disciples participating this time are all from the three sects. Apart from the three spots, the rest of the ranking will also receive rewards. If you find the girl and bring her out, you can deal with anyone who tries to stop you. Remember to bring her here. "
"Junior Apprentice Brother Lu, we've been waiting for you!" Zhang Songhui came up with the other two. "These two are Xie Yusheng and Xie Yuqiong. They're also participating in the contest."
But after more than ten days of studying, he still didn't learn anything about the clay tablet. Su Ningfei didn't return either. He didn't know where she went.
"Black Seal Temple …" Lu Sheng suddenly felt someone staring at him. He raised his eyes to look in the direction of the gaze, but only saw a group of strangers he had never seen before turn their heads away.
…
"It's the Gold Sun Sect."
There were a few Spirit Bind Sect disciples beside him, and they all stared at the Youyin Sect woman.
"It's the Thousand Sun Sect."
"Yes, it's from a place you should be familiar with, the Black Seal Temple." Zhang Songhui nodded.
Five days later, early in the morning, he left with his things and went straight to the hexagonal crystal at the entrance.
He stood up and imagined holding a knife in his hand to simulate how the knife marks on the clay tablet were made.
Lu Sheng also focused on studying the clay tablet. From the beginning, he joined the Thousand Sun Sect to break through to Devil Master. Now, as long as he could break through, it didn't matter if he was in the Thousand Sun Sect or not.
Secret Area, inside the underground cavern.
"Let's collect some interest for the elder first." He smiled. "Or let the Song guy pay more. If they don't want us to give them trouble, the previous price isn't enough." He knew that the three sects of the Moling Prefecture placed their disciples in the same place. Only after the strongest disciple was decided would they go to the other areas and continue to choose stronger disciples. This would continue until all the disciples of the three sects in the Great Yin were chosen and only three were left.
"It's all unknown …" Lu Sheng felt helpless. The Modifier could only modify inner force that was already at the beginning level. Outer force could only be improved after understanding the next levels and cultivation methods.
Lu Sheng also felt someone looking at him. He looked up and squinted in the direction of the Spirit Bind Sect.
As time went on, the number of people in the plaza decreased until only a few dozen remained. It seemed like they were all waiting for the talismans to be given out.
The light faded, revealing the people of the Thousand Sun Sect from the Moling Prefecture. There were about 30 of them. Most of them had serious expressions, but some were nervous and excited.
As soon as the Dragon Vulture came down, it looked in the direction of the Youyin Sect. Its gaze instantly locked onto a sharp-looking woman who had just come down.
The scholar's name was Chen Daoning. His attitude was relatively mild, and he would occasionally talk to Lu Sheng, but not much. They mostly introduced each other by name.
There were already many people standing around the crystal on the plaza. What surprised Lu Sheng was that he actually saw Wang Yunlong beside the crystal. Clearly, people from the Autumn Moon County had also entered the inner sect.
However, there was nothing else on this clay tablet other than a few knife marks …
"Is everyone here?" one of the elders stood up and asked. "We'll immediately begin breaking through the barrier. Once we get there, the directors and elders of the Moling Sect will be in charge of distributing maps of resting areas to everyone. During the battle, every sect will have an absolutely safe camping ground. Everyone can rest there."
There were already many people standing on the desolate ancient temple's drill ground. Three flags of different colors were planted in three different corners, dividing everyone into three groups. There was a large empty space in the middle for the projection.
"Begin," he said after everyone had left.
"I don't know, but when a Weapon Master reaches his limit, there's at least a thirty percent chance of comprehending this clay tablet," Su Ningfei said lightly.
