Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 89 Crushing Victory, Number One on the Gold List!

"What, no one from your sect made the list?" The old man carrying the sword grinned when he saw Lei Kunhai's grim expression.

"There might have been a minor mishap. When they come out, they'll know what they've gained." Lei Kunhai glanced at the old man and realized that this guy didn't seem like a highly respected elder in the cultivation world at all.

Instead, he seemed more like a street ruffian and scoundrel.

"Then you should stop dreaming. Haven't you heard about the secrets of the Taiyi Sect?"
The rewards are distributed based on the level of talent of the trial disciples.

"And this level of genius is what we call the Golden List ranking." The old man with the sword said with considerable pride, "Look, the fifth place on this Golden List is a disciple of our sword sect."

Where are your disciples?

I remember your Qingheng Sect's top disciple is named Wang Jinsong, right?

This is only tenth place!

And, I just heard you mention Zhang Yan?
Why don't I see Zhang Yan on this list?

The old man carrying the sword became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already won and was determined to get the flying sword forged by Lei Kunhai.

"This is just the beginning, and this list may not be accurate," Lei Kunhai said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, there might be some discrepancies during the first test of the Golden List, but the difference will definitely not be too great." The old man carrying the sword sneered: "Don't worry, although I took your flying sword, I will still pay you the forging fee."

Lei Kunhai: "..."

He looked at the old man speechlessly.

Is he worried about the forging cost?
What he was heartbroken about was the top-grade meteorite iron!

That was originally intended for his grandson!

Lei Wanbao is also a weapon cultivator.

He entered the Dao through spiritual artifacts.

When he advances to the next level, he will definitely need precious raw materials.

This meteorite was prepared for his grandson.

He had full confidence in Zhang Yan, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yan suddenly broke down.

There's no information about the other party!

"No need. If I really lose, I don't need to pay the forging fee," Lei Kunhai said in a muffled voice.

Lei Kunhai isn't so bad that he can't afford to lose even these things!

While top-grade meteorite iron is precious, it is not impossible to find alternative materials.

And just as they were talking.

The rankings on the honor roll suddenly shifted.

Some names started to move forward, while others moved down.

Some people were even pushed off the list of winners.

"But Zhang Yan's name is still not on the list!" Lei Kunhai's expression was not very good. Although Wang Jinsong's ranking had moved up two places.

However, it is still some distance from the top five.

Moreover, the top five rankings are almost fixed.

It simply won't rise any further.

"Could it be... because of Zhang Yan's spiritual root?" At this moment, Granny Hua spoke up beside Lei Kunhai, offering a reminder.

"Zhang Yan's spiritual root!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Kunhai was speechless.

The Preaching Tower assesses combat strength, spiritual roots, spiritual body, bloodline, comprehension, and then evaluates potential.

Although Zhang Yan possessed extraordinary comprehension.

However, his spiritual root was really too poor.

Only low-grade spiritual roots.

However, Zhang Yan's usual behavior was so extraordinary that everyone subconsciously overlooked his spiritual root problem.

"Oh no, I forgot about that!"

Lei Kunhai was also helpless; Zhang Yan's behavior was nothing like that of someone with a low-grade spiritual root!
You, with only a low-grade spiritual root, have cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just a few years.

Do you think this is reasonable?

This is not reasonable at all!
This cultivation speed is almost catching up with that of a high-grade spiritual root!
Just as Lei Kunhai was secretly realizing something was wrong.

But then they saw two boys quietly appear on the honor roll.

Ranked 100th on the list: Zhang Yan.

"I made the list!" Lei Kunhai smiled.

"So what if you made the list?"
It's only one hundred people.

"Let's wait until he makes it into the top seventy before you talk!" The old man with the sword attacked Lei Kunhai without hesitation.

However, before he could finish speaking...

Then I saw Zhang Yan's name appear in the search results.

They really made it into the top 70!
"You should get him into the top sixty!"

"First fifty!"

"Top 30!"

"Let's talk about the top twenty first!" The old man with the sword was furious as he watched Zhang Yan's ranking rise so quickly.
Zhang Yan's ranking, just like his conversation, kept skyrocketing.

In just a few minutes, it had jumped from 100th to 23rd place.

At this point, it was clear that Zhang Yan's sprint speed had slowed down.

They even stabilized.

"That scared me to death!" The old man carrying the sword looked a little better.

He really thought Zhang Yan could break into the top twenty.

It seems that around 20th place is probably the limit!
"I told you, this kid is something else!" Although Zhang Yan only made it into the top twenty, Lei Kunhai still laughed.

Although the bet might be lost.

But at least it proves that Zhang Yan is a genius!
Moreover, in his heart, Zhang Yan was his successor in weapon crafting.

what?
You mean Lei Wanbao?
Who is that?

Not familiar.

We're not familiar with each other at all, so let's not talk about it. Lei Kunhai is afraid that Zhang Yan will misunderstand if we say too much.

Moreover, he felt that Zhang Yan's ranking in the twenties was purely because his spiritual root was dragging him down.

Otherwise, with Zhang Yan's strength, he should have made it into the top ten!

Even in the top three!

"Something's not right!" Just as Lei Kunhai was thinking about these things, he discovered that Zhang Yan's ranking had started to climb again.

In the blink of an eye, it surged into the top ten.

"Old Lei, what's going on with this disciple of your sect!" The old man carrying the sword rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He was already a Golden Core cultivator, how could he still be seeing things?

This is not normal!
"Our disciple is just a little more insightful!" Lei Kunhai said calmly, looking at the old man carrying the sword.

And besides them.

Everyone present noticed Zhang Yan.

After all, this guy has been getting humiliated all the way up from first place!
Many people's sects are full of wounds and injuries.

Now, seeing Zhang Yan's name suddenly surge into the top ten, even surpassing the top three in popularity, is quite surprising.

After all, the top three are fixed!

I haven't seen him since the start of the testing, but the name Zhang Yan suddenly appeared from behind.

It's a dark horse.

Some even started speculating whether Zhang Yan's name could break into the top three!
Even Lei Kunhai started to look forward to it.

No one had to wait too long for this.

Zhang Yan charged into the top three with an unstoppable momentum.

Then directly aim for the top.

We won first place!
This caused an uproar among everyone.

Who is Zhang Yan?

How come I've never heard of it?

"Whose prodigy is this?" Everyone present began to discuss among themselves.

Lei Kunhai and Granny Hua also looked somewhat nervous.

"Sigh, having such outstanding disciples is a real headache!"

Unlike your disciples, whose best is only fifth place, they have no pressure at all.

Oh, no, we're in sixth place now.

Lei Kunhai looked at the old man carrying the sword and said, trying to make the best of a bad situation.

The old man carrying the sword glanced at Lei Kunhai, then remained silent, his face ashen as if his mother had died.

The flying sword I was about to get is gone!
Having to do manual labor myself is truly unpleasant!
Moreover, the opponent has to get right up close and unleash their ultimate attack!
"Once Zhang Yan comes out, I'll take him with me. You stay here to handle the aftermath," Lei Kunhai suddenly said to Granny Hua. "Okay," Granny Hua nodded.

I know what Lei Kunhai means.

Zhang Yan's ranking is so high.

It is highly likely that they will produce some extraordinary cultivation techniques or spells in the secret realm.

Although according to the rules of the major sects, the major sects can keep the martial arts techniques they provide.

The techniques that smaller sects and families share need to be shared with the major sects.

However, Wanhua Palace has already introduced the Hehuan Sect.

No one knows how the other party will arrange things.

All I can say is that caution is the best policy.

……

"Zhang Yan..."

"interesting."

At this moment, looking at the rankings on the Golden List, the female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect suddenly spoke softly, "I wonder what such a genius tastes like."

As she spoke, she gently licked her lips.

Zhang Yan...

Those are disciples of the Qingheng Sect.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Myriad Flowers Palace had some impression of Zhang Yan.

Because Zhang Yan had visited their sect before and even won first place in the Spirit Plant Competition.

"That's a disciple of the Qingheng Sect. It's best not to act rashly," the Golden Core cultivator from the Myriad Flowers Palace quickly said, fearing the other party might act irrationally.

In the State of Zhao, everyone knew this.

The Qingheng faction is the most united.

This is due to the environment in which the other party is located.

His disciples were all extremely fierce and unyielding.

If any of the disciples encounter any problems, the Qingheng Sect will provide assistance immediately.

However, Qingheng Sect is, after all, a prestigious and righteous sect, and it does not tolerate disciples who commit offenses.

"Does a mere Qingheng Sect dare to challenge my Hehuan Sect?" the female cultivator said disdainfully.

"They may not dare to confront the Hehuan Sect directly, but I know you will definitely die." The person from Wanhua Palace said very bluntly, "And, according to your Hehuan Sect's philosophy, if you die, the Qingheng Sect will only need to pay compensation, and I'm afraid no one will stand up for you."

"You!" Upon hearing this, the female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect wanted to say something, but sadly discovered that she had no way to refute it.

That's the atmosphere in their Hehuan Sect.

There is absolutely no unity to speak of.

The reason why sects have been able to grow so large is purely due to their own interests.

The people of Wanhua Palace ignored the female Golden Core cultivator.

Although Wanhua Palace cooperated with Hehuan Sect, it doesn't mean that everyone in Wanhua Palace likes Hehuan Sect.

"Alright, this is the Zhao Kingdom, let's not cause trouble." At this moment, another male Golden Core cultivator from the Hehuan Sect spoke up.

It's obvious.

This person thinks about things more deeply.

The Hehuan Sect is awesome.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators.

But they're all in Shen!
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. They can act arrogantly in Shen, but if they go to Zhao and continue to be domineering, they may not be able to leave Zhao.

……

"Out!"

Suddenly, someone from the Palace of a Thousand Flowers spoke softly.

Sure enough. As soon as she finished speaking, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, people began to emerge from the vortex.

The first person to emerge was a male monk in his thirties.

He walked out looking dejected.

Before he could react, Foundation Establishment cultivators from several major sects immediately rushed forward to meet him.

"Record the sect, name, and the cultivation technique you obtained."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator simply took out a jade slip and asked the other party to inscribe it on the spot.

Then, a specialist verified that there were no problems before allowing him to return to his sect.

The first cultivator to emerge acquired a rather ordinary spell.

However, it is a spell that none of the major sects have collected.

This can be considered as enriching the sect's accumulated knowledge.

After the first one, soon the second and third cultivators emerged one by one.

Perhaps some of them are happy.

Or perhaps some people remain unmoved like a still well.

However, only those from minor sects would be stopped and questioned about their cultivation techniques.

But those from the major sects were ignored.

Instead, they all went straight back to their own sects.

As people continued to emerge.

soon.

Lei Kunhai then saw Zhang Yan.

The moment Zhang Yan came out.

In the secret realm.

The second level of the spiritual test.

The number one ranked spirit suddenly became: an unknown spirit.

Unknown Spirit: Effect: Extraordinary comprehension, unparalleled combat power.

Zhang Yan, of course, knew nothing about these things.

He had already been captured by Lei Kunhai.

"Let's go back to the sect first!"

Lei Kunhai said this and quickly left with Zhang Yan.

……

"Senior Lei, what's wrong?" Zhang Yan was placed on his natal magic weapon and sped away.

We travelled at lightning speed.

"It's alright now, but things could get complicated. You performed exceptionally well in the secret realm."

I'm afraid something bad might happen.

Lei Kunhai briefly explained it to Zhang Yan.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan secretly realized his mistake.

The main problem is that he genuinely didn't know there was a Golden List outside!
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.

When he arrived at the Qingheng Sect.

Lei Kunhai was finally relieved.

"How was your harvest this time?" Lei Kunhai asked Zhang Yan with a smile.

"The harvest was very rich. The Taiyi Sect's Preaching Tower granted me the authority of the Taiyi Sect's successor, and even gave me the Taiyi Yi Evolution Record and the Two Elements Technique, among other cultivation methods."

There are also some cultivation supplies.

However, the Taiyi Sect left a will, wanting me to help them find a successor, so I might need to find someone specifically to pass on the Taiyi Evolution Record.” Zhang Yan didn’t hide anything and directly told me what he had obtained.

After all, the sect treated him well.

He is not an ungrateful person.

"Um?

Taiyi Yantian Record, Liangyi Jue!
"These are actually the two cultivation techniques!" Lei Kunhai was shocked when he saw them.

They had only seen two techniques in the records.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan obtained two cultivation techniques.

This delighted him.

“You said the other party wants to continue the legacy, and I have an idea.” Lei Kunhai thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yan, “What do you think about our Qingheng Sect having another mountain stronghold?”
I'll make you the mountain lord.

Its name is Taiyi Mountain.
