My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

After copying the two volumes of Ming Ling Jue, Wang Tiezhu left happily, and Chu Ci stayed alone in the stone hall.

The night passed quickly, and before dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door in the empty hall.

Without opening the door, Chu Ci used his powerful spiritual sense to realize that the person coming was Song Henian.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I rushed here as soon as the meeting here ended. Have you gotten used to living here?" Song Henian blurted out words of concern as he stepped through the gate at the beginning.

Chu Ci said: "To be honest, this is the first time for me to live alone in such a spacious and magnificent stone palace. It feels great."

Song Henian suddenly changed the subject: "Fellow Daoist Chu, I am extremely ashamed. I really did not know about the rule that talismans cannot be used."

As he spoke, Song Henian's eyes never left Chu Ci, carefully paying attention to every change in his expression.

He was extremely worried at this moment, fearing that he would see any sign of embarrassment on Chu Ci's face, which would mean that Chu Ci was not confident about the competition.

Facing Song Henian's eyes, Chu Ci just smiled calmly: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will do my best on this matter."

After hearing Chu Ci's answer, Song Henian felt relieved, but he was still a little worried, so he continued, "Fellow Daoist Chu, Miss Wanying called us together last night and explained the specific rules of this competition in detail."

Song Henian introduced the rules to Chu Ci one by one, and Chu Ci listened carefully. First, the use of talismans and spirit beasts was not allowed, and second, both parties had to stop at the right time and not hurt anyone's life.

The next step is the competition, which is quite different. It does not follow the traditional ring competition format, but sets up three platforms for the contestants to accept the challenge. Only when no one continues to challenge can they be considered to have passed the test.

Hearing this unique way of competition, Chu Ci couldn't help but frown slightly: "This method seems a little unfair."

According to this rule, the first person to go on stage will inevitably face attacks from opponents from all sides, and the pressure can be imagined.

Song Henian seemed very calm and composed. He explained:

"The contestants who came to participate this time are from Jin, Zhao, Yan, Zhenwu and other places, and all of them are famous cultivators. Most of them are arrogant to opponents of the same realm. In addition, if they are successfully selected, the second lady will definitely give them generous rewards as a reward, so everyone will be eager to participate."

After all, for such an important matter, the second young lady naturally understood that she had to offer sufficiently attractive conditions, otherwise who would be willing to help her.

"I wonder what the second lady's reward is?" Chu Ci asked curiously.

"I don't know that either. Everyone's test is different. Miss Wanying will tell you one by one when we get to the competition venue."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a flash of light from the Red Horse Merchant Alliance token in Song Henian's hand. Judging from the token's reaction, it seemed that someone was passing on a message to him.

Song Henian looked down and said to Chu Ci:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, our branches in Jin State are planning to gather together to discuss. Why don't we go and take a look together?"

Chu Ci agreed and left the hall with Song Henian.

The two of them turned around and around, and finally arrived in front of a stone temple. Chu Ci found that in addition to the people brought by Song Heming, there were four other people. One of them was an old man in his sixties standing in the front, followed by three monks.

"This person is also from my Song family. His name is Song Hexiang. He is currently in charge of managing the branch in Feiniao City. The three behind him are cultivators recommended by Feiniao City." Song Henian introduced to Chu Ci.

Feiniao City is geographically close to the Divine Sword Gate, and there are some small forces and independent cultivators scattered around it. Therefore, in terms of overall cultivation strength, it is second only to Lingxi City.

Chu Ci looked closely and saw that the three people behind Song Hexiang had the same cultivation level as the three people behind Song Heming. They were a Jindan cultivator, a foundation-building cultivator, and a Qi-refining cultivator, and their cultivation had all reached perfection.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Song Heming said, "Now that everyone is here, you fellow Taoists might as well get to know each other first." After that, he began to introduce them one by one.

The three people brought by Song Hexiang include a Jindan cultivator named Zhenghe Zhenren, who carries a sword on his back and is an elder of the Divine Sword Sect. From the conversation between him and Xuanji Zhenren, it can be seen that the two obviously have a close relationship.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator was called Shangguan Qi, and the last Qi Refining cultivator was called Mo Youchu. Judging from their appearance alone, these people seemed to be extraordinary.

"My fellow Taoists, this competition involves four countries, and the seven fellow Taoists sent by our Jin State are all here. I believe you have all heard that this competition adopts the rule of taking turns to challenge. As a fellow Taoist from Jin State, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a blessing for our branches in various places in Jin State. So I implore all fellow Taoists not to challenge your own people. What do you think?" Song Heming said.

According to the competition rules, there is one person on each platform, and the rest can challenge freely. If monks from the Jin State challenge each other, it is tantamount to self-consumption.

Xuanji Zhenren glanced at Zhenghe Zhenren beside him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Song can rest assured. Such a situation will never happen to us Jin country cultivators."

After hearing this, Master Zhenghe also smiled slightly: "Even if I want to compete with Brother Xuanji, it is really difficult to do so given the huge gap between us."

"Brother, please don't tease me. As a swordsman, who doesn't know about your astonishing ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth?"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Seeing that the two most powerful people on the scene had agreed, no one raised any objections.

At this time, Chu Ci noticed that Leng Qingqiu was staring at him with an unpredictable expression, and he didn't know what the other person was thinking.

"In that case, I would like to wish all of you Taoists immediate success and a great victory in advance!" Song Heming said, bowing to several people.

Just at this moment, several little boys were seen walking from not far away, and the person who led Chu Ci here yesterday was among them.

"It seems that the time has come. The little boy is here to pick us up. He Xiang, He Nian, this competition is divided into three parts. The Jindan cultivators go to one part, the foundation-building cultivators go to one part, and the Qi-refining cultivators go to one part. The three of us brothers should act separately. If we encounter any problems on the field, we can take care of each other." Song Heming said to the two.

Song Henian only recommended Chu Ci this time, so naturally he went to the competition hall for the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Song Heming was most optimistic about Xuan Ji Zhenren, so he followed him to the place where the Jindan cultivators competed. Finally, Song Hexiang was the only one left, so he followed the Qi Refining cultivators.

The group was divided into three teams. Chu Ci, Leng Qingqiu, Shangguan Qi and Song Henian followed a few boys and headed south. The rest of the group went in their own directions.

Perhaps because the distance was far, the little boy took out a flying sword from his ring and let everyone ride on the flying sword.

No one knew what kind of treasure this flying sword was, but it did not require any control and carried several people all the way to the competition hall.
