Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 143 Sect Competition 11
All the major sects arrived one after another, and Huichao Hall was rarely decorated with more colors.

Wei Xi could see clearly that Liang Fengxian was sitting next to his brother unwillingly. His butt was stable, but his eyes were moving around restlessly.

It was clear that the sects in the alliance had a good attitude towards Ju State. Below the host's main table, to the left was the table of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and to the right was the table of the Ju State delegation.

All the sects sat along the Wanjian Sect's side, while the remaining members of the Ju State delegation and other forces sat on the right.

The disciples of Zhenhai Sect were scattered across several tables and sat between the two groups.

The Qingcheng Sect members sat at the back, next to a table of younger Zhenhai Sect disciples. Two of the disciples had received monks with Wei Xi before and greeted him.

Wei Xi responded one by one, then sat down quietly.

Lingyin was in better spirits now. Wei Xi patted its head, poured some water into the saucer and pushed it to it.

"You'd better not drink anymore," Lian Goujie whispered. "Qin Feng got scared when he was drunk, and Bird crashed into people when he was drunk. What's going on?"

Not only did Wei Xi not drink alcohol yesterday, he didn't even drink something like Gouqie, which shouldn't touch too much water.

No wonder Qin Feng secretly brought the wine back.

"Qin Feng, what's the origin of this annoying person?"

"The royal family of Ju State," Qin Feng recalled with a frown, "the young prince was a little lawless."

"Isn't the emperor quite old? Why do his two sons look so young?" Lian Gouqie asked in confusion, recalling the information Qin Feng had told them before.

Qin Feng observed for a moment before saying, "When my father first became a guard, the emperor favored Concubine Yan. However, Concubine Yan was weak and was the only one favored by the emperor, so she remained in the palace for fifteen years without a child."

Although he didn't know much about the royal family, Wei Xi felt something was wrong and listened attentively.

"By the time my parents got married, Concubine Yan became pregnant, and gave birth to the Sixth Prince," Qin Feng paused, "this Prince Wuyang would be eighteen years old this year?"

No wonder, according to Qin Feng, the emperor of Ju State was probably in his fifties or sixties. According to common sense, the sixth son was probably in his thirties.

With a gap of fifteen years, the ages do match.

Unexpectedly, one story after another came to light. Qin Feng continued, "Noble Concubine Yan is a commoner from Chaozhou and has no foundation in the court... After she gave birth to a prince, someone had ulterior motives..."

"In the end, Imperial Concubine Yan died, and the Emperor purged those involved... There was a complete reshuffle of officials throughout the government, and it was during that time that my father managed to find a way to be transferred to the frontier."

Qin Feng sighed as he spoke, "I don't know what happened later, but the eight-year-old Sixth Prince angered his father and was thrown to the front lines... I wonder how he was crowned king?"

Wei Xi glanced at the calm King Wuyang, and a chill ran down his spine.

No wonder she had just seen Prince Wuyang dislike Liang Fengxian.

He was probably spoiled by the old emperor when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be a complete trap.

Now seeing such a thing dangling under his nose, if the old emperor was just doting on his youngest son, Liang Fengxian would be a walking childhood memoir; if the old emperor really doted on his youngest son, this person would be even more annoying.

Don’t blame Wei Xi for thinking too much. Although she doesn’t understand the royal family, she knows that every wrong has its perpetrator: her wife’s death has nothing to do with her subordinates, so why should they purge her?
But there was no basis for this statement, so Wei Xi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lian Gouyu, who loved gossip, poked Qin Feng and asked, "What's going on with that guy named Yan Qingluo?"

"How should I know? I haven't been back to Jucheng for seven or eight years..." At this point, Qin Feng's face changed, "Could it be..."

"What's wrong?" Lian Gou's eyes sparkled, and he almost pried open Qin Feng's head and went inside. "What did you think of?"

"Ivy girl." Qin Feng squeezed out two words through his teeth. "In addition to the eight study companions, the princes of Ju Kingdom also have a vine girl. She studies with them and becomes their concubine when she grows up. She's usually an orphan whose parents have both died..."

"What's wrong with you..." Lian Gouqie asked knowingly when he saw Qin Feng's face turned pale.

Wei Xi had no time to stop this guy from doing stupid things, so he could only cover Lingyin's head to prevent the harsh words from hurting it.

Qin Feng sneered, his eyebrows raised high, "What's wrong with me? Guess how I knew it?"

"Back then, someone recommended me to be the Tenth Prince's vine maid. Not to mention that thing looks like a pouting toad, I have a bright future. Do I deserve to be served by someone with so many thanks?"

Fortunately, Qin Feng is a man of principles, and his temper has improved a lot now. He no longer attacks with words.

Vine, climbing.

This name is quite appropriate. Wei Xi thought that the orphan girl grew up relying on the prince. Even if she was not completely devoted to him, she would still obey his orders.

The three of them were gossiping here, but no one else heard them. Within half a minute, all kinds of dishes were served. The Zhenhai Sect's immortal-looking leader said a few polite words, and then everyone started to eat.

After dinner, everyone moved to Qigui Square.

There are not many carvings in Qigui Square, and its only advantage is its spaciousness. The dark black bricks and stones make you feel the coldness of the sea water when you step on them.

Wei Xi saw Zheng Duo standing behind a gentle woman, and thought she was Elder Sui Jiao.

The elder in charge of Zhenhai Sect cleared his throat from a high place, and Wei Xi came back to his senses.

The beginning was nonsense as usual, and Wei Xi ignored it, not caring at all about the significance of the sect competition or thanking the sects for their support.

The schedule was finally announced, and Wei Xi pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"...This sect competition will be divided into three rounds. The first round is a written test to assess the basic knowledge of Qi Refining disciples. Those with a score of less than 60 will be eliminated. Disciples who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage will advance directly."

Wei Xi heard Qin Feng let out a breath.

"The second round is a points competition. Disciples who pass the written test will be divided into groups of seven, each with five points. They will spend three days in the secret realm, with eliminations between groups. Each person eliminated will have their points automatically added to their teammates' scores. The group that eliminates the last member of a group will receive the corresponding points."

"The teams in the top third of the points standings will advance to the third round of the individual competition."

"Those who advance from the points competition will draw lots and compete in pairs to determine the ranking."

"After three rounds of competition, the top thirty cultivators will be able to enter the Zhenhai Sect's trial field for training. I hope all disciples will give their all and achieve excellent results!"

It turns out that Li Chun’s requirements to be in the top 30 are waiting here.

Wei Xi and Li Chun's eyes met in mid-air, and then they looked away as if nothing had happened.

Wei Xi now feels pain in his arms whenever he hears the word "secret realm".

"All of you cultivators are the future of your respective sects. Following the Emperor's will, the Ju Kingdom is willing to establish a good relationship with the Immortal Sect."

"The winner of this sect competition will be awarded one thousand high-grade spirit stones, one thousand taels of silver, and a Yuhan Mountain Cang Wolf cub; the runner-up will be awarded eight hundred high-grade spirit stones, eight hundred taels of silver, and three high-grade Luxi grass; the third place will be awarded six hundred high-grade spirit stones, six hundred taels of silver, and an ancient book!"

As soon as King Wuyang finished speaking, six followers stepped forward with trays in their hands.

Wei Xi: You have to use the money you can’t earn to stimulate me, right?
