I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

As the old man finished speaking, the lottery square was in an uproar.

The first round of competition is a two-on-two duel. If the total number of contestants in the Jindan group is an odd number, there will naturally be a bye.

"What great luck! I advanced directly to the second round without even having to compete. I'm so envious! Why didn't I get a bye just now? What a bad luck!"

"Hey, look at the red string on her hand. It looks like one of those lucky strings that's all the rage lately. It's said to bring good luck to the wearer. Let's go buy one too!"

Bai Wei walked aside in a daze, making room for the disciples who were queuing up to draw lots, and heard Si Qian's joyful cheers.

"That's great, Junior Sister Bai! You drew a bye, and Junior Sister Ye will advance directly to the second round! Even if Junior Sister Ye doesn't come out of seclusion today, we don't have to worry."

"Sister, you're right. The second round of team competition should be the day after tomorrow. We'll send a message to Junior Sister Ye tomorrow to let her know. Judging by the time, Junior Sister Ye should be coming out of seclusion soon."

"Sister, how about we buy a lucky red string after we win the competition? Maybe in the second round, the four of us can get lucky and be drawn into a group!"

Si Qian was moved. She originally didn't believe that the red string could bring good luck, but after seeing Bai Wei holding the red string and drawing a bye, she now believed it a little.

Si Nan was also a little tempted, so he said to Bai Wei: "Junior Sister Bai, after the competition is over, can you take me and my sister to find the disciple who sells red ropes?"

Bai Wei came to her senses at this moment. She just hoped that she would not draw a too strong opponent. She never thought that she would draw a bye. She said that the lucky red rope must be effective!

"Okay, I'll take you to find that person after the competition is over."

Inside the Star Ring.

Ye Qingning was immersed in sword practice, and time seemed to slow down.

In the past few days, she adjusted the angle and strength of her left hand holding the sword over and over again until her wrist was sore and her arm was weak, then she took a short break.

I also found that although the flexibility and strength of my left hand are not as good as my right hand, with repeated practice, the flexibility and strength are quietly improving.

Moreover, she was already accustomed to using her left hand. If she practiced sword with her right hand at this time, it would be faster than training her left hand.

Not only did she exercise her left hand, but during her breaks she also disassembled each sword move of the Liuyun Sword Technique she had learned in her previous life.

The Liuyun Sword Technique and Liuyun Body Technique were purchased from the system mall at a huge cost (points) in her previous life.

There are a total of seventy-two moves in Liuyun Sword Technique, each of which is graceful and agile, like flowing clouds and running water, continuous and uninterrupted, and it is a unique move when combined with Liuyun Body Technique.

This is what the dog system told her in her previous life.

After breaking down each sword move, she began to improve the moves based on the characteristics of her left hand.

The first move, Cloud Opening, emphasizes using the power of the right hand to lift the sword from bottom to top and quickly cut the opponent. When she used this move with her left hand, the power and angle could not be optimal.

Therefore, by changing it into a compound action of stabbing and striking, the movement of the left hand becomes smoother and more aggressive.

The fourth move is Returning Wind and Brushing Clouds. The move is extremely agile, but it is difficult to achieve the desired effect when wielding the sword with the left hand.

Therefore, a spinning straight stabbing movement was added to it, which not only retained the agility and essence of the original style, but also strengthened the attack.

This modification took two days, and she made changes to several sword moves.

Every time she mastered a modified sword move, she could feel her swordsmanship improving. She practiced more and more vigorously, forgetting all the information she saw in the jade slip.

It was not until two days later that Ye Qingning stopped practicing sword skills when the system started to yell that lots would be drawn today for the second round of competition. If it weren't for the bird-shaped alarm clock of the system, she would have forgotten the time again.

He cast a few cleaning spells on himself, changed into clean disciple clothes, put Yuntao into his clothes, and left the Star Ring.

In order not to make Bai Wei and the others anxious, he also replied to the three of them, saying that he had already left the quarantine.

On the way to the lottery square, Ye Qingning also stopped by the Treasure Pavilion on the island and picked out the cheapest low-grade long sword, spending only four hundred low-grade spirit stones.

After all, she had a natal sword in her previous life, so she thought about buying an ordinary long sword to use first. She couldn't bring a tree branch to the stage to compete.

……

Ye Qingning came to the drawing square. After a round of elimination competition, the number of disciples in the Jindan group waiting for the drawing was obviously reduced, but the scene was still bustling and lively.

"Junior sister Ye!"

A clear voice suddenly sounded. Ye Qingning looked in the direction of the voice and saw Si Nan and the other two running towards him from not far away.

"Junior Sister Ning, you are finally here. The second round of drawing lots will start soon!" Si Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had received a message from Ye Qingning before, he was still worried because he had not seen him for a long time.

Ye Qingning smiled apologetically and explained, "I just went to the Treasure Pavilion and made my senior sisters worried."

"You're good to be here. Wear this lucky red string with your name engraved on it. It's said to be very effective. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to draw a stick with the same color and number."

Bai Wei smiled and put the lucky red string on Ye Qingning's wrist.

Ye Qingning looked at the delicate red rope on her wrist and felt at first glance that it matched the red rope on her neck.

Bai Wei drew a bye for her. She had already learned about it from the jade slip. Now with this lucky red string, she felt that she was incredibly strong.

She heard that this red rope was not cheap and cost hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, but she knew that if she gave Bai Wei the spirit stones, Bai Wei would definitely not want them.

Bai Wei should be happy if she returns a gift and exchanges feelings with him later.

She also discovered that not only Bai Wei, but Si Qian and Si Nan also wore the same lucky red string on their wrists, which was the most popular item in this competition.

Not far away, Xie Ji's hands were clenched tightly under his white sleeves, and in his palms was a red rope of the same style.

When drawing lots for the first round of competition, Xie Jibai only saw a lucky red rope on Bai Wei's hand, but did not notice that Bai Wei also had a lucky red rope on his other hand.

At that time, I had an idea and wanted to buy a lucky red rope to give to Ye Qingning.

Because his memories of his previous life were restored late, he missed the Star Ring. Later, in order to break through the Golden Core Stage, he spent a lot of spirit stones to buy a hydrangea. He no longer had any spirit stones on him.

The Luoyun Sect was in a state of decline, and even the direct disciples could not receive much monthly salary.

Therefore, the three hundred high-quality spirit stones used to buy the lucky red rope directly used up all the spirit stones on Xie Jibai.

It also made Xie Jibai feel Ye Qingning's kindness once again.

In his previous life, he had Ye Qingning protecting him, so he had never worried about spirit stones. He had never been as destitute as he was now, where it was difficult for him to even come up with three hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Now seeing Bai Wei put the red rope of good luck on Ye Qingning's hand, Xie Jibai's defense was immediately broken, and he looked at Bai Wei with eyes full of anger.

Before he could give her his lucky red string, someone else got it first. Everyone came to compete with him for his senior sister. Damn it!
