Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Chapter 41 In the Name of the Orphanage

Lu Xian'er nodded and explained it to him.

"The thing is like this..."

In fact, the so-called Qingyun Grand Competition is a large-scale competition or contest organized by the five overlords of the Eastern Continent!

The competition is held every three years, and all factions can register, but a registration fee is required, and participants must be 18 years of age or younger.

The conference will establish multiple ranking lists to provide an opportunity for rising stars from their respective factions to showcase their talents.

Those who ultimately make the list will receive valuable rewards from the five major powers, as well as a variety of sponsorship rewards from various factions.

For example, there are elder seats in certain forces, disciple seats in certain powerful figures, and even marriage contracts with some young ladies of noble birth—it's quite a diverse array of options!

The above is an introduction to the Qingyun Grand Competition. After listening, Lin Yun couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"And what about this year? What rewards did Hehuan Valley give?"

"Us..."

Lu Xian'er smiled and said, "We have provided a Star Moon Flower, three top-grade weapons, five million Xuan Crystals, and other rewards..."

The Star Moon Flower mentioned here is an extremely rare natural treasure, and it would sell for at least a few million Xuan Crystals.

Adding these together, it amounts to nearly a million Xuan Crystals.

Lin Yun clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Just your family alone has so many. Adding up all the rewards from all sides, this is truly a generous reward."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er smiled sweetly.

"After all, it's only once every three years, and it's such a big event, so we can't be stingy."

However, there was something she didn't say: even though she would receive a lot, as long as her disciples performed well, she would actually make a considerable profit throughout the entire competition!

"But to be honest, the most generous this year has to be the Heavenly Sword Sect; they really went all out."

"Oh, what did they bring out?"

Lu Xian'er took a deep breath and said only four words.

"Dragon-patterned meteorite iron!"

Upon hearing the name, Lin Yun and Bai Xiaoxue both perked up.

"Is this serious?"

"Of course it's true. The items have now been entrusted to the three parties for safekeeping."

Lu Xian'er nodded and exclaimed in amazement.

"It is indeed strange. The Heavenly Sword Sect has always been stingy in previous years, but this year they have suddenly become generous, which is really a bit unusual."

In previous years, the Heavenly Sword Sect was practically a miser, so this year's actions are quite unusual.

Dragon-patterned meteorite iron is currently one of the most advanced forging materials, and it is exclusively possessed by the Heavenly Sword Sect, making it truly priceless and unavailable!

In response, Su Qing snorted and said, "The cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect have always been arrogant and domineering. If they dare to take out this thing, they must be absolutely confident that their disciples can take it back."

There have indeed been instances in the past where a certain faction offered huge rewards, which were actually just a disguised way of rewarding their own disciples.

Lin Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked another question.

"So, according to what you're saying, if we win first place in this Azure Cloud Competition, won't we become famous throughout the Eastern Continent?"

"That's natural."

Lu Xian'er nodded and said with a smile, "This competition was originally prepared as the debut venue for our own disciples!"

It can be said that the disciples who were assigned to participate in the battle were all the chosen ones that the Five Hegemons of the Eastern Continent planned to cultivate in the future!

And this Qingyun Grand Competition is the stage for them to make a name for themselves throughout the world!

At the same time, it lets others in Dongzhou know about its future prospects, thereby attracting more geniuses to join, which is a great thing that kills multiple birds with one stone!

"I see, that's interesting..."

Lin Yun became interested, not only for the Dragon Pattern Meteorite Iron, but also for the mission of making his child famous!

"So, Dean Lin, are you interested?"

Su Qing seemed very concerned about this matter and couldn't help but ask another question.

Whether they participate or not depends on them.

Lin Yun shrugged and turned to Bai Xiaoxue to ask.

"Xiaoxue, would you like to participate in the Qingyun Grand Competition?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue looked up at him and asked a question with a smile.

"Then, Dean, would you like me to participate?"

"Of course I hope so."

"Then I want to participate!"

Bai Xiaoxue chuckled and gave her answer almost immediately.

Feeling her intense gaze, Lin Yun smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go participate!"

Then, he looked at Qingyue and asked.

"Xiaoyue, what about you?"

Although Qingyue's combat strength is still slightly inferior to Bai Xiaoxue's, compared to this monster, Xiaoyue is now considered a little monster herself.

I thought she wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing.

Unexpectedly, Qingyue immediately nodded.

"Of course I want to participate! I was planning to participate even if it hadn't been mentioned today!"

Lin Yun asked in surprise, "Can I ask why?"

"Dean, you've forgotten?"

Qingyue looked at her and pursed her lips.

"I want to take it back, and I need to gain some influence. This is a good opportunity!"

She was originally supposed to be at the Heavenly Demon Palace, where she would have participated in the Azure Cloud Grand Competition today.

Qingyue knew better than anyone that being the first in the Qingyun Grand Competition carried significant weight within the Heavenly Demon Palace, enough to garner her a large following!

Lin Yun instantly understood her plan; she was preparing to reclaim the Heavenly Demon Palace!

"I understand, then count you in too!"

At the moment, neither Su Qing nor Lu Xian'er knew that the girl in front of them was the runaway young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Therefore, I was somewhat confused by their conversation, wondering what kind of appeal they had.

However, Su Qing also had her own plans.

She looked at Lin Yun and said with a smile.

"Since Dean Lin wants to participate, how about we discuss a deal?"

Lin Yun asked in confusion, "Hmm? What kind of deal?"

"If you participate normally, you will need to pay a large registration fee, and you will even have to go through several rounds of preliminary selections before you can enter the main competition of the Qingyun Grand Competition. It is very time-consuming and laborious."

Su Qing smiled slightly.

"But our Hehuan Valley has a spot that can exempt you from fees and preliminary rounds, allowing you to directly enter the main competition. Why don't we give it to Dean Lin?"

"That sounds good. So, what does Valley Master Su want?"

"It's very simple."

Su Qing took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

"If my Hehuan Valley team encounters a crisis within the Empress's Secret Realm six months from now, I hope Dean Lin can lend a helping hand to the best of his ability."

"Of course, if Dean Lin cannot resolve this, he may leave. What do you think?"

Clearly, she is planning to start laying the groundwork for what's to come.

Lin Yun was slightly taken aback, then immediately smiled.

"What am I supposed to do? Of course, that's no problem!"

She was supposed to go in with them when they arrived, and even if she didn't say anything, she would have helped them if they encountered any trouble.

"That's wonderful, thank you very much, Dean Lin."

Su Qing bowed to Lin Yun, who waved his hand in response.

"Valley Master Su, you are too kind. I am weak and powerless, and can only offer a little help."

"Dean Lin is too modest."

Su Qing smiled gently, then glanced at Bai Xiaoxue and Qingyue.

"By the way, are the participants confirmed to be those two?"

"Yeah, just the two of them."

Lin Yun nodded. As for Long Shishi, her bone age was over 100, which clearly did not meet the criteria for participation.

At this moment, Su Qing asked another question.

"What about the name of the faction it belongs to? You decide on one, I need to inform them in advance."

"Um, which faction do you belong to?"

Lin Yun paused for a moment and asked.
