[Talisman Formation—Small Five Elements Formation.]
Using the Eight Trigrams Talisman as the foundation, He Qingge formed a formation and quickly created talismans into a formation.
It could be used to trap and kill enemies. Its power depended on the quality of the talismans and the formation.
He had to use a talisman of the five elements to trigger its power to form a cycle.
He Qingge had learned all the basic talisman fighting techniques.
There was still a month before the sect’s grand competition. He Qingge was prepared to desperately accumulate talismans during this period of time.
He spent a lot of money to buy a lot of talisman papers and spirit ink.
Flame Talisman, Water Talisman, Green Vine Talisman, Earth Jumping
Talisman, Golden Sword Talisman, Protection Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Divine Power Talisman, Divine Movement Talisman, Cleaning Talisman, Flying Sword Talisman…
When He Qingge was about to finish his preparation work, it was time for the competition.
The main peak of the Tian Xuan Sect, the Tian Xuan Peak, was located in the middle of the 108 peaks. It was the tallest and reached the sky.
Halfway up the mountain was a huge area with many arenas. There were also spectator seats around the arenas. There was also a huge video stone in the sky that could be used to watch the real-time video of the competition.
There were too many people from the 108 peaks of the Tian Xuan Sect. It was impossible for there to be only one competition at a time.
In the past sect competitions, the various peaks would first compete on their own and choose the top ten before starting the overall selection.
Later on, for some reason, they started a chaotic battle and no longer carried out the selection of the peaks in advance.
On the first day of the competition, He Qingge’s number was 3,690.
When he arrived at the Tian Xuan Peak, it was already crowded with people. The dense crowd and noisy voices gathered together. He Qingge only dared to use Hearing to cover a one-meter radius around him.
Once it enveloped the entire venue, the densely packed voices would all surge into his mind.
Even if he was mentally strong, he could not withstand all the sound information being gathered together in an instant.
He Qingge’s arrival attracted the attention of many disciples. After all, he was wearing the uniform of a legacy disciple. It was too eye-catching, and he looked very different among the group of outer disciples.
There was still a prerequisite for participating in this competition, and that was that one could not be over 30 years old.
He Qingge was 27 years old. It had been more than a year since he had contracted a spirit pet.
Lil Butterfly was lying on He Qingge’s shoulder, looking around curiously. It was the first time it had seen so many people.
Feeling that the crowd alone could drown it, it slowly moved closer to He Qingge’s neck and felt at ease.
“Is that person He Qingge, the one who was directly promoted from a servant disciple to a legacy disciple?”
“Yes, that’s him. He’s really lucky.”
“I heard that the other peaks have also selected legacy disciples. Many people imitated He Qingge’s actions and made quite strange performances.”
“Hehehe, it’s because there are too many imitations that it makes the most normal one seem abnormal.”
“In that case, the most normal ones were chosen to be legacy disciples?”
“No, their talent and strength aren’t good. They all failed and were even reprimanded for being flashy.”
“The strength of the sixth level of Qi Refinement. What a pity. If I had become a legacy disciple and relied on resources, I’m afraid I would’v already reached the peak of Qi Refinement by now.”
“Be careful what you say. Don’t let others hear you. No matter what, he’s still a legacy disciple. It’s easy for him to make things difficult for you.”
“What should I be afraid of? It’s just the two of us. You won’t tell on me anyway.”
“How naive. You don’t think your voice transmission will be kept secret, do you?”
“Do you think he can make it to the end?”
“Impossible! The sixth level of Qi Refinement is too weak.”
“Your horizons are too low. You only saw that he’s at the sixth level of Qi
Refinement and not the eighth level of Body Refinement.”
“What? Dual cultivation?”
“No wonder he could become a legacy disciple. Unfortunately, his cultivation level is too low. You have to know that there are quite a number of people at the peak of the meditational level here.”
“There aren’t many opportunities for dual cultivators.”
There were all kinds of discussions and whispers in the venue.
Many beautiful female disciples looked at He Qingge’s handsome face, and their eyes flashed.
If they could seize the opportunity to make friends or even become Dao companions, their future would be promising.
He Qingge was observing the entire venue as he walked. Suddenly, he saw a small stall.
Green Jade Casino!
He Qingge knew that there would be a gambling den in the sect competition every year. It was rumored that it was established by a legacy disciple.
They would be involved in all kinds of competitions in the sect, and there was sports betting too.
Small stalls like these were spread throughout the entire venue. The service quality was quite good, and there were even two fairies at each stall.
It could be seen that almost every small stall was crowded, and there were even long lines.
The main reason was that there were too many people.
He Qingge watched from the side, watching as everyone placed their bets on the matches they wanted to bet on.
“Zheng Changtian vs Chang Xiao. I bet 100 spirit coins on Zheng Changtian.”
“The odds are 1 to 1.2.”
“Fang Hua vs Liu Li, odds: 1:2” “Chen Haiwen vs Zhao Fangping, odds: 1:10.”
“Ji Lina vs Wang Hebin, odds: 1 to 3.”
These were all small-scale wins and losses. Most people also knew that there was a banker who could control the game.
Not everyone could obtain the final reward, so it was better to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
Generally, rational gamblers would point at the people they trusted or their own games.
Unfortunately, most people were not very rational. They would be tempted, guided, and even hinted by all kinds of information.
Before the competition, there were all kinds of rumors that had spread out from somewhere.
The bet ratio of the top three had reached a terrifying level.
There were countless outer sect disciples of the 108 peaks. Even if only those under the age of 30 could participate in this competition, the number of people was still huge.
Those who could fight for the last three spots were basically all powerful. These people could not give up the final reward for gambling.
Therefore, the top three had the most number of people betting for them. They were basically the top figures of each peak.
Thoughts were also surging in He Qingge’s mind too. Perhaps he should give it a try too. He had never tried it before.
In the past, he was too weak and did not have the capital. Once he lost, he would be completely finished.
Now, he could bet on the outcome of a small match. As long as it was not a peerless genius, he was still confident that he could win.
Moreover, he had prepared so many talismans over such a long period of time. They were not just for show.
He quickly placed his bet on the first match.
He Qingge sat in the audience and watched the battle below. The Wisdom Scripture Divine Wheel in his mind shone.
He Qingge observed the process of the battle, the techniques used, and the spells used. He observed and absorbed their battle experience.
In just two hours, there had been nearly a thousand matches. The efficiency of the matches was quite high, and the many matches were dazzling.
After five incense sticks worth of time, it was He Qingge’s turn. His opponent was a woman wearing a red and green dress. Her face was beautiful.
“Let the competition begin..”
