Carrying the identifier from the interstellar to the world of immortal cultivation

"Senior Brother Fang Ji, what do you mean by this?" Master Fang Xing frowned. He felt that Fang Ji's words were not meant to ease the atmosphere or comfort them, but were meant to be sarcastic. He was mocking both Xiao Qin and other disciples who were participating in the Alchemist Competition, and him as a judge.

Master Fangji glanced at Master Fangxing, somewhat confused as to what his not-so-bright brain had just imagined.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just literal!"

"literal meaning?"

Master Fang Xing still didn't understand, but most of the disciples below did.

Yes, even if Xiao Qin, Guan Shanhai, Liu Chengfeng lost in the finals and fell to sixth place, ranking below a small and declining sect like the Jinling Sect, they were still on the Immortal List, which was much better than those who didn't even qualify for the finals.

He Xuxing felt that many more eyes were focused on him. He gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and bowed deeply to the head monk, Congshan Zhenjun. "Uncle Congshan, the failure of the three of us in the Alchemy Master Competition was solely my fault. It is my responsibility, and I will bear it. When I return to the sect, I will willingly accept the punishment I deserve!"

He Xuxing believed that his words had made his attitude clear, but no matter what they wanted to do, they had to return to the sect before doing it. As for the punishment, he remembered that the sect rules only mentioned rewards, and did not specify what kind of punishment would be if they lost the competition.

If he were an ordinary disciple, even if there was no such punishment in the sect rules, he would not be able to be as fearless as He Xuxing. After all, if the elders and the master were angry or even furious about something, they would not strictly follow the sect rules. But He Xuxing did not have this worry.

He knew in his heart that with his great uncle around, even if he really made a mistake, the so-called punishment would most likely be reduced to a small matter. Besides, it was just a mistake in the game and could not be considered a mistake.

True Lord Congshan naturally knew what He Xuxing was thinking. He nodded at He Xuxing and said, "Nephew He, don't blame yourself too much. Mistakes in competitions are common. Besides, your failure to reach the finals is not solely your fault."

He glanced at Cheng Yue and Liu Chu who were standing behind him.

Cheng Yue's face turned pale, while Liu Chu secretly cursed his bad luck, thinking that he had lost more than he gained.

"Alas, this time we are going to be ridiculed by Junior Sister Fu Ying!"

Master Fangji sighed.

Master Fang Xing was slightly stunned, thinking of Master Fu Ying, the leader of the Talisman Master competition. He was a person who could make trouble even if he was not right. Unless the Talisman Master also lost the competition, and it was even more serious than the Alchemist Master competition, otherwise he would be ridiculed.

Thinking about it this way, he actually hoped that he wouldn't get a very good ranking in the Talisman Master Competition. In the three competitions of Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, he would have to fall outside the top ten in at least one of them. That way, no one would blame anyone else.

"No matter how we lose the Talisman Master Competition, it shouldn't directly cause the sect to lose 15% of its low-level talisman business."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke, and everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was Zhou Yue, one of the deacons who came with them this time.

Zhou Yue is the only direct disciple of the Yuanying cultivator Caiwei Zhenjun. Apart from her two daughters Zheng Yanfei and Zheng Yanping, she can be said to be the closest junior to Caiwei Zhenjun. Zheng Yanfei died in the Qi family villa in Taoye Manor a year ago. The person who killed her was not an enemy, but Yu Jianshi, the direct disciple of Caiwei Zhenjun's Taoist partner Jiming Zhenren. Just for a mere place in the Immortal Gate Competition, he was so cruel as to kill his master's biological daughter. Of course, perhaps the place in the competition was just a fuse, and Yu Jianshi probably had been dissatisfied with Zheng Yanfei for a long time.

Yu Jianshi was brought back to the sect from Taoye Manor by True Lord Caiwei, who told the elders of the sect what happened in Wanmanglin and Taoye Manor, and stated that she had used the soul-searching technique on Yu Jianshi. Such a big thing had happened, and True Lord Jiming had traveled far away in grief.

The elders discussed for a long time and finally decided to hand over Zhenjun Caiwei to the Wanxian Sect for disposal. After all, she had used the forbidden technique of searching the soul in public, and it was impossible to hide it. So they simply reported it voluntarily, and maybe they could get lenient treatment. Later, the Wanxian Sect took the fact that there were reasons for the incident and reported it voluntarily, and gave her a lighter punishment, imprisoning Zhenjun Caiwei in the Broken Spirit Cliff for three years.

As for Yu Jianshi, he was imprisoned in the sect dungeon by the Danfu Sect according to the sect rules. He was already unconscious and had suffered various punishments. Even if he was still alive, he was suffering a living punishment.

True Man Jiming has not returned to the sect. During this year and more, Zhou Yue has been in charge of all matters concerning True Lord Caiwei and True Man Jiming's Biwei Peak. This time, she came to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition as a comprehensive deacon. It can be said that she is neither on the side of the Alchemist Competition nor the side of the Talisman Master Competition. When True Lord Congshan summoned people to discuss, Zhou Yue also came along.

When she spoke like this, Fang Xing Zhenren, Xiao Qin and others, who had gradually calmed down, became serious again.

Indeed, no matter how badly the Talisman Master Competition was lost, even if it had an impact on the sect's talisman business, that should be a matter for the future. For example, the Alchemy Master Competition saw the loss of 15% of the low-level elixir business directly on the field, which had never happened in the records of the Alchemy Master Sect's sect stewards.

"Actually... I think this matter was premeditated." At this time, another voice suddenly said.

The voice was soft, but the tone was firm and well thought out.

Everyone looked and saw that it was Cheng Yue who said this. She was standing next to He Xuxing, and was blocked by him slightly sideways. Although a trace of worry occasionally flashed in her eyes, she did not seem guilty or panic. She hid beside He Xuxing, not so much to seek shelter, but to cater to He Xuxing's need to be relied on.

Of course, no one noticed these subtle changes in her emotions except for the True Lord Congshan who was at the top, and a few people who paid special attention to these two people.

"Junior Sister Cheng is right!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking towards them, He Xuxing turned sideways again, blocking most of Cheng Yue's body, and even blocking everyone's gaze towards Cheng Yue.

"Although Liu Xuanjie is the young master of the Liu family, how could he dare to hand over 15% of the low-level elixir business to a small and declining sect like the Jinling Sect without the permission of the Liu family head and the Liu family elders?"

He Xuxing continued what Cheng Yue said, glancing at Liu Chengfeng intentionally or unintentionally.

"Grandmaster Congshan, Uncle Fangxing, Uncle Fangji, I think what Senior Brother He said makes a lot of sense. The Liu family must have long considered cutting off their business with our Danfu Sect. Even if it weren't for the events in the finals, they would have found a way to transfer the business to other sects. However... having their business snatched away by a small sect like the Jinling Sect is indeed a bit..."

He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he meant.

"The Liu family... still has some remaining elixir business, so we can only negotiate politely now, but the Jinling Sect..."

"Brother Fang Xing, although the Jinling Sect is only a small, downtrodden sect, you should be aware of the incident that took place in front of the Lingque Sect's mountain gate a few days ago. And you also know where that Qi-refining female disciple of the Jinling Sect obtained the Lieque Strange Fire she brought out in the competition. Although our Danfu Sect is ranked among the six major sects of Yunchuan, both the countless cultivators in Yunchuan and ourselves know that the only truly top sects in Yunchuan are the Lingque Sect and the Chuyun Sect. The other four sects, including our own, combined are less than one-tenth of their power."

Master Fangji interrupted Master Fangxing before he could finish his words.

"Junior Brother Fangji, what do you mean?"

"I have said this much. If you still don't understand, then there is something wrong with your intelligence. I still have to prepare for tomorrow's competition, so I'll take my leave now!"

As he said this, he bowed to the True Lord Congshan who was sitting at the top of the table, and left early.

"Uncle Master, look..." Master Fang Xing was so angry that he pointed at Fang Ji's back.

True Lord Congshan shook his head. "He will be participating in the competition tomorrow. I am just telling you about this matter. Any rewards or punishments will be dealt with after we return to the sect. Now, let's all go."

Many competitions are held in parallel with the Alchemist Competition, such as the Formation Competition, the Talisman Master Competition, the Weapon Master Competition, etc., so these competitions end at the same time.

The competitions that have not yet been held include the individual arena competition, the medical competition and the immortal chef competition, while the planting competition is in progress. This is the event that starts the earliest and ends the latest in the Immortal Gate Competition, and it has always been a time-consuming event. No disciples of the Jinling Sect have qualified to participate this time.

"Let's go to Tianque Peak to watch the competition tomorrow, along with Junior Sister, Senior Sister Shu, and Senior Sister Su!"

Fan Qiongzhi suggested.

"I won't go. I have to go to Yuwei Peak to check out the venue for the Immortal Chef Competition the day after tomorrow."

The qualification for the Immortal Chef Competition also requires competition. At that time, in order to participate in the Immortal Chef Competition, Su Mengjue optimized the recipe of the Zi Li Rolled Cloud Cake again and again. After asking many fellow disciples to try it, he got everyone's approval before sending the Rolled Cloud Cake to the Deacon Hall, which then sent it to the Wanxian Sect for selection, and then qualified for the competition.

After qualifying for the competition, Su Mengjue spent a lot of energy and spirit stones to collect various ingredients. Since the Immortal Chef Competition does not distinguish between realms, the top 50 can be listed on the Immortal List, so Su Mengjue’s minimum goal is to win the 50th place in the Immortal Chef Competition.

"Senior Sister Su, we'll go with you after the competition is over tomorrow. I've inquired, and during the competition, although all the outer peaks of Lingque Sect have increased their security, they won't be closed."

These days, Sui An and others were either participating in the competition or preparing for various matters related to the competition. Only Fan Qiongzhi was the most idle. When she had nothing to do, she would stroll around. She was the one among them who knew the various rules of Lingque Sect and the entire Xianmen Competition best.

Although the Xinglu Peak where they live now is closed at night, they have a temporary token and can enter and exit at any time as long as they show the token.

"Senior Sister Su, let's go to Tianque Peak together tomorrow!" Fan Qiongzhi shook her hand.

"Sister, are you going to participate in the ring competition?" Before Su Mengjue could say anything, Fan Tuo, who had been paying attention to their conversation, asked with a frown.

There is no need to register in advance for the individual arena competition, and there is no limit on the number of participants. As long as you think you can defeat the cultivator on the arena, you can go up to the arena and knock the person down, and then defend the arena yourself. As long as you can defend against ten people attacking the arena, you can enter the final. The opponent in the final will be determined by drawing lots. If you can still defeat your opponent, you will draw lots again. This will go on round after round, and the top twenty will be listed on the Immortal List.

Fan Qiongzhi invited people she knew well to go to Tianque Peak, and Fan Tuo suspected that she just wanted to go on the stage herself.

Fan Qiongzhi said, "I'm just going to take a look. If possible, it wouldn't hurt to participate."

Sui An said: "I want to go up and try it too."

Fan Tuo's brows furrowed even more. "Although you can surrender at any time in the ring competition and won't die on the stage, there are still many cultivators who are seriously injured and die after leaving the ring during every Immortal Sect Competition."

As soon as Fan Tuo finished speaking, everyone saw Zhao Chongshan walking over.

"Senior sisters and brothers, Senior Brother Zhang asked me to give you a warning. You all need to be careful in tomorrow's competition. Although we brought a lot of medicinal pills with us, if you are seriously injured, those pills may not be of much use."

The rewards for the arena competition are generous. As long as you enter the finals, you will receive rewards from the Wanxian Sect. Because of this, there are many cultivators participating in the arena competition every year, including many wealthy cultivators from large sects. They may not be doing it for the rewards, but just for experience or to be on the immortal list, but those people have no shortage of high-level magic tools and talismans. Once they enter the arena, all kinds of methods emerge one after another, and they can often suppress and beat these poor disciples from small sects. Even if they are lucky enough to get the rewards, they will get injured or even lose their lives, which is really not worth it.

So Zhang Shulin thought about it and decided to ask Zhao Chongshan to give instructions one by one.
