The selection competition in the Misty Valley lasted for six or seven days before it ended. Apart from Pei Long, Zhang Chaozong did not encounter any other strong opponents. He easily passed the preliminary selection and became one of the sixteen people selected.

In this primary election, in addition to Zhang Chaozong, Lu Xiangxun, Jin Li, Nangong Xun and others were also selected without any surprise. Speaking of upsets, Pei Long's elimination was a big upset. No one was

I thought that this powerful person who was as famous as Jin Li, Nangong Xun and others was eliminated in the first round.

"I heard that Senior Brother Pei Long was eliminated on purpose. Senior Brother Pei recently got an opportunity to practice a magical skill and has no time to participate in any sect competition." Someone spread the news mysteriously.

"Where did you hear that? It's not reliable at all. I got the exact news. Before entering the misty valley, Senior Brother Pei met a strange woman. After the two of them turned upside down, Senior Brother Pei's hands and feet became weak.

That's why he was eliminated." The other person curled his lips and wanted to clear up the source.

"Nonsense, I heard that Pei Long was too arrogant in the misty valley. As a result, Senior Sister Lu Xiangxun couldn't stand it, so she took action to deal with him." Another person jumped out to object.

"..."

In short, the news about Pei Long being eliminated was widely spread. Zhang Chaozong naturally heard a lot of news about this. It was only then that he realized that Pei Long was so famous. But Zhang Chaozong

He doesn't regret defeating Pei Long. Although doing so is a bit eye-catching, since he is going for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is inevitable to be in the limelight.

........................

The Beiyuan Sect Competition has officially kicked off. In fact, strictly speaking, the preliminary round cannot be regarded as a real competition. Only the knockout competitions held in each peak can be regarded as the beginning of the Qi Refining Period.

At the foot of Duxiu Peak Mountain, a huge arena has been set up, and there is a sea of ​​people under the arena. Some are here to participate in the competition, some are here to watch the excitement, and some are here to set up street stalls to make hard money. In short, almost all the monks in Duxiu Peak are out.

, it was really crowded and noisy.

Zhang Chaozong also arrived at the competition early, but he did not show up immediately, but blended in with the crowd. He knew that if he went out early and let Lu Xiangxun recognize him, he would definitely not get the best of him.

Lu Xiangxun arrived not too late. The reason why she came so early was obviously for a purpose. As soon as she arrived at the scene, her eyes wandered around the crowd. Lu Xiangxun's arrival was like a flower blooming among the green leaves.

It was quite eye-catching. It can be said that she became the focus of attention of the male monks and the object of jealousy of the female monks. Zhang Chaozong was different from others. He stayed away like the god of plague.

Lu Xiangxun searched around and found nothing, so she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She simply sat down in the stand specially prepared for VIPs and waited for the competition to begin.

After a while, the monks who presided over the knockout competition gradually arrived. Zhang Chaozong discovered that the leader was an old man, with a long, immortal face and a red face. He was holding a fly whisk, and there was a sense of ethereal coming out of the world in his steps.

Following closely behind the old man were Wei Tao, Bai Lin and two slender-looking middle-aged monks. Seeing the arrival of these five people, there was a lot of chatter around them. Zhang Chaozong knew from everyone's talk that the leading old man was the spectator.

Taoist Xu, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, is said to be the most promising person among the existing Foundation Establishment Stage monks in Duxiu Peak to condense the golden elixir. As for the two middle-aged monks with clear and slender faces, they are Jin Li’s Master Lu

Taoist Qi and Nangong Xun’s father, Taoist Nangong.

"I am Guanxu, the deacon of Duxiu Peak in the foundation-building stage. I was ordered by the peak master to preside over the knockout competition of this Qi-refining stage competition. I hope that the disciples participating in the competition can show their abilities and give full play to their own strength...

." It can be seen that Taoist Guanxu still wanted to speak, and he spoke in a lengthy manner.

After Taoist Guanxu finished speaking, Wei Tao began to speak again, but he did so simply and directly named the sixteen participating disciples to take the stage.

"Lu Xiangxun." Wei Tao read while holding the list.

"The disciple is here." Lu Xiangxun flew onto the ring.

Wei Tao smiled at Lu Xiangxun and nodded. He was the eldest disciple of Lu Xiangxun's grandfather, Lu Nanyang. He knew that Lu Xiangxun was highly valued by Lu Nanyang, so he usually fawned over this eldest lady. The relationship between the two was still very harmonious.

of.

"Jin Li." Wei Tao and Lu Xiangxun finished their greetings and continued reading the list.

"The disciple is here." Jin Li flew onto the ring.

Wei Tao nodded towards Jin Li expressionlessly, which was considered a favor to Jin Li's master, Taoist Lu Qi.

"Nangong Xun." Wei Tao read again.

"Disciple is here." Nangong Xun walked onto the ring with a smile on his face, and flattered Wei Tao as soon as he came on stage.

Wei Tao remained calm and nodded slightly. In fact, he couldn't stand Nangong Xun's hypocrisy. If it wasn't for the sake of his father, Taoist Nangong, he probably wouldn't have even nodded.

"Gu Ling." Wei Tao continued to read.

"Disciple is here." A young monk in elegant attire walked onto the stage and bowed respectfully to Wei Tao and the other foundation-building monks.

Wei Tao didn't even nod his head this time and continued to read. Lu Xiangxun stared at every monk who came on stage with her almond-shaped eyes without blinking. Many of the monks made her feel a little embarrassed.

……．

The ranking order of the sixteen disciples is based on their cultivation level. Zhang Chaozong only has the sixth level of cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage and is the lowest among the sixteen disciples. Therefore, his name was called last.

"Zhang Chaozong." Wei Tao shouted.

"Disciple is here." Zhang Chaozong knew he had to show up, and hoped that Miss Lu could control her temper and not do anything in public.

"Greetings to all the deacons." As soon as Zhang Chaozong came on stage, he saluted Wei Tao and others with a smile on his face.

As a result, these Foundation Establishment Stage monks were all very calm, without batting an eyelid. However, although these Foundation Establishment Stage monks were very calm, Miss Lu was no longer calm. When she saw Zhang Chaozong, her eyes suddenly lit up.

, flashing with excitement, just like bees seeing flowers.

Zhang Chaozong glanced at Lu Xiangxun, and his heart thumped for a moment, and he thought to himself: "The food is spoiled, will this young lady get angry on the spot?"

Lu Xiangxun really wanted to rush forward immediately. She took a step forward, but stopped again.

"If I deal with this little Taoist priest now, won't everyone know that I have been naked by him?" Lu Xiangxun glanced at the dark crowd under the ring, and then glared at Zhang Chaozong hatefully, biting his silver teeth.

Withdrew.

Others may not have noticed Lu Xiangxun's eyes, but Nangong Xun saw it. The man's eyes were always fixed on Lu Xiangxun. When he saw that his crush was staring at a young monk at the sixth level of Qi refining stage, his face suddenly darkened.
