Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 11 Outer Gate Trial (Please Read)

Upon hearing the ghost-faced spider, there was immediately a commotion below.

"Oh my god, why would the sect activate such a powerful spirit beast?"

"I heard that an adult ghost-faced spider has at least the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining. What should I do if I encounter one head-on?"

"Oh no! I'm practicing Wood Vine Technique, which is countered by Spider Web. I should have learned Fireball Technique earlier."

Xiao Chen didn't really know much about the Ghost-Faced Spider. After all, he had only been a member of the outer sect for a short time and had been busy practicing recently.

So I made a mental note that after returning this time, I must go to the first floor of the Sutra Library to learn more about the common sense of the world of immortal cultivation.

However, when he pricked up his ears and listened, he found that this ghost-faced spider seemed to be strong in trapping enemies in its spider web and was most afraid of fire attacks.

If that's the case, then he doesn't have to worry.

Besides, the Feihong Mountains are so big that it is not certain that I will encounter the ghost-faced spider.

Just slow down a bit and be more careful.

The disciples of the second branch will not set out until noon.

After Manager Chen finished his lecture, he announced that they could have free time and let them think and prepare in advance.

There is a large flat area outside the sect’s south gathering point.

Starting from yesterday, some clever disciples took some things to set up stalls, taking advantage of the large crowds to exchange what they had and what they needed and make a little profit from the difference.

It's true, many disciples had 'accidentally' consumed some pills on their way here and needed to replenish them, so the two sides hit it off immediately.

Before Xiao Chen came, he didn't take it seriously, after all, he had the blessing of Hextech.

At the same time, he had not expected that the intensity of the sect trial would be raised so high all of a sudden.

I just heard the bad news about the first branch. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should be cautious and spend the spirit stones as needed.

So I went to the stalls outside to buy some protective items.

"The Flying Fire Talisman made by Inner Sect Senior Brother Li costs two spirit stones each. These are the last three left!"

As soon as he came over, he saw a disciple holding three talismans and shouting.

What was even more exaggerated was that there was another disciple who bought all three talismans without hesitation.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Normally, one spirit stone could buy two of these Flying Fire Talismans, so the profit would be four times the profit if he resold them.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even so, all the fire-related talismans on the stalls have been swept away.

It can be seen that the news about the ghost-faced spider has greatly stimulated everyone.

He even saw several inner sect brothers setting up small stalls a little further away from the camp, customizing talismans on the spot.

At this moment, there were long queues in front of each stall, which made the faces of several senior brothers full of sunshine.

Xiao Chen turned his gaze and saw a few lightening talismans on the stall of a junior fellow apprentice.

He stepped forward and asked, "How much are these talismans for?"

"One Spirit Stone for one. If you want all of them, give me five Spirit Stones and I'll take all six."

"No, this thing is back in the market, and you can buy five of them with one spirit stone. Isn't this too expensive, Junior Brother?"

"Brother, you are wrong. If you had come yesterday, I would have only sold one spirit stone for three pieces, and I would have earned the hard-earned money for running errands. But times have changed, and the market has changed."

Hey, I really show you how to play this game of raising the price.

The rules of the Lihuo Sect are very strict. Unlike the casual cultivators in the market, the sect stipulates that only those who enter the inner sect can begin to learn the various arts of cultivation.

Therefore, if ordinary outer disciples have not made preparations in advance, they can only silently bear the high price.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Xiao? I happen to have some extra Light Body Talismans. Junior Brother, come over here with me and I'll give you a few."

Just as Xiao Chen was about to take out the spirit stone, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.

He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was a young monk wearing a black robe with red stripes and the word "Chen" embroidered on his chest.

The other person's name was Chen Guangyu, and he was the senior brother at the sixth level of Qi Refining who had traveled with Xiao Chen two days ago.

On the way here, Xiao Chen had learned that the man belonged to the Lihuo Chen family and was a distant nephew of Manager Chen. So he put down the lightening talisman in his hand and followed him to a nearby deserted corner.

Chen Guangyu happily took out six lightening talismans: "Before coming here, my family helped me prepare a lot of talismans. Junior brother, just give me a spirit stone."

Xiao Chen handed over a spirit stone and picked up five: "Brother, you are willing to share it with me at an equal price. I am already very grateful. How can I take advantage of you?"

It was just a preparation.

"Junior brother, you are very particular." Chen Guangyu put away the talisman and changed the subject: "I heard from my uncle that Junior brother is a promising talent. I think passing this trial should be a sure thing."

"Brother, I have a small business here. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh? Senior brother, go ahead and tell me. I'm all ears."

"In this trial, we will compete for the top ten places based on our points jade tokens. Although I am confident of making it into the top ten, I have been coveting a profound-level secret technique for a long time."

As he spoke, Chen Guangyu held up three fingers: "If you have extra jade tokens, I will take this amount for every point."

After he said that, Xiao Chen understood.

There is no name engraved on the jade plate, so it belongs to whoever takes it out.

Chen Guangyu is planning to collect jade tokens privately to improve his ranking.

After learning about the competition system yesterday, Xiao Chen also thought about this question: Is ranking important, or is the reward important?

For each higher ranking inner sect seed, one spirit stone extra per month can be awarded as a training subsidy on top of the basic ten spirit stones.

The difference between the first and tenth place is 120 spirit stones in a year.

But then again, a yellow-level spell is also worth hundreds of spirit stones, and you can get it all at once.

Considering the bonus of featherweight players, it is a better choice to voluntarily give up the competition for the top three.

I didn't intend to compete for the top spot. In this case, if Chen Guangyu is willing to pay a high price to make up for the loss of ranking behind, there is indeed room for transaction.

But I didn't expect that the other party was so confident in obtaining the jade token.

Did he see his own strength?
As expected, outstanding people are like fireflies in the dark night, so conspicuous.

Xiao Chen nodded decisively and agreed: "Since Senior Brother has such confidence in me, Junior Brother will naturally go all out."

Chen Guangyu warned: "Then let's make it a deal. By the way, this is just a small idea that Senior Brother came up with, Junior Brother, please don't..."

Xiao Chen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I always keep my mouth shut."

Watching Xiao Chen leave, Chen Guangyu took out a small notebook and ticked his name.

"We are still two short. We must hurry."

He actually didn't think Xiao Chen had the ability to compete for the ranking, but he thought it wouldn't be difficult to get six points.

It never goes a wrong to give a heads up and reserve some extra points.

Although the points provided by Xiao Chen alone may not be much, but accumulated over time it can be a considerable help.

More importantly, by negotiating the deal in advance, he can prevent other competitors from purchasing points to suppress him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly turned back with a serious face.

Chen Guangyu frowned. What happened?
Xiao Chen asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, I have another question. How many of the extra points are you willing to take back?"

Chen Guangyu laughed dumbly and answered without hesitation: "Of course I'll take as many as I can."

"Are you serious, Senior Brother? I'll come over with the jade token when the time comes, and you can't refuse it, Senior Brother."

Xiao Chen asked again. In his opinion, this was a big business.

"It's absolutely true. Don't worry, Junior Brother."

Watching Xiao Chen leave with a sigh of relief, Chen Guangyu couldn't help but shake his head.

It's so funny. You, a junior brother who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, are actually worried about this.

You can only get a few points in total.
