Corresponding to this are the changes taking place in the walnut world.
The original walnut world was about ten acres in size, but now it is rapidly expanding towards the gray area.
Soon, the area of the walnut world doubled, and its expansion continued.
Xu Chunniang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the little walnut could point out the location of the ethereal stone. It turned out that it had a need of its own.
Just one hundred and twenty-seven pieces of ethereal stones, can't it satisfy its appetite
He actually swallowed the ten pieces that she had specially set aside.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang was half speechless and half had a headache.
Originally, she had already planned to hand over ten pieces of ethereal stones.
But Little Walnut ate all the ethereal stones, which directly disrupted her plan.
Even if she wanted to hand it over now, she couldn't afford even half a pill.
At this time, other disciples of Xiaoyao Sect had handed over all the Kongling Stones in their hands.
After counting all the ethereal stones, Yue Lingzheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Chunniang with anticipation in his eyes.
"How many Void Spirit Stones did Brother Xu get?"
Hearing this, Elder Wu and the other disciples also looked over at the two of them.
The number of ethereal stones is directly related to the score of the competition.
If we can get a few more points in this competition, the remaining two competitions will be easier.
Faced with Uncle Yue's earnest gaze, Xu Chunniang looked embarrassed.
Originally, she had prepared ten pieces of ethereal stones, but accidentally, they were all eaten by the little walnuts, and now there is nothing left.
"Disciple, I have never obtained the Void Spirit Stone."
Before Yue Lingzheng could say anything, the Xiaoyao disciples beside him all looked in disbelief when they heard what he said.
"What? I didn't get any Void Spirit Stones? That's too much. This collection task has always been the easiest."
"I admit that the Void Spirit Stone is hard to find, but it's too much to not find a single one in three whole days. Or did you not try to find the Void Spirit Stone at all?"
They frowned and looked at Xu Chunniang with some dissatisfaction.
Huangfu Tian sneered, "She even did such a poor job in the simplest collection task. What can we expect from her in the next two games?"
“That’s enough!”
Yue Lingzheng was also somewhat disappointed, but he was even more unwilling to see his disciples blaming each other.
After Elder Jindan spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything more, but their impression of Xu Chunniang fell to the bottom.
"Occasional failures are nothing. Don't take it too seriously. Prepare well for the next two competitions."
After explaining things to Xu Chunniang, Yue Lingzheng stepped forward and handed over all the empty spirit stones.
After other sects handed in their spiritual stones, the scores were revealed.
"In this competition, Wuliang Sect obtained 32 pieces of Void Spirit Stones, which is worth 32 points. Miaodan Sect obtained 30 pieces of Void Spirit Stones, which is worth 30 points.
The Wanjian Sect received 28 pieces of Void Spirit Stones, which is worth 28 points. The Xiaoyao Sect and the Hanshan Sect received 26 pieces of Void Spirit Stones, which is worth 26 points.
"Amitabha, good, good, good."
The eminent monk of Wuliang Sect put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.
In this competition, Wuliang Sect was ahead by several points, while Xiaoyao Sect and Hanshan Sect were temporarily at the bottom.
Overall, the score gap is not that big.
The first-placed Wuliang Sect was only six points higher than the last-placed Xiaoyao Sect and Hanshan Sect.
"In three days, a competition of 100 arts of cultivation will be held at the Miaodan Sect's training ground. I hope you all will not be absent."
The elder of Miao Dan Sect who presided over the five sects competition, after announcing this matter, went back first with a group of Miao Dan disciples.
On the flying boat on the return journey of Xiaoyao Sect, the atmosphere was very depressing, and many disciples complained about Xu Chunniang for not being able to obtain a piece of Kongling Stone.
"If it weren't for that person from Qianji Peak holding us back, how could we be ranked last? My Xiaoyao Sect didn't have much of an advantage to begin with, and now the pressure is even greater."
"I heard that she is a disciple of Yue Yanru, the master of Qianji Peak. Could it be that she was able to participate in this five-sect competition because of her connections?"
"I heard that she once climbed the holy mountain in Ozawa. Now it seems that I doubt the truth of this matter."
Xu Chunniang was on the flying boat. Before she had time to return to her room, she heard all kinds of discussions. She felt a headache and helpless.
She really didn't expect that Little Walnut would do this, making all the ten pieces of ethereal stones she prepared become empty.
In the eyes of these fellow students, she was just a straw bag who made up the numbers.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.
"Please rest assured, fellow students. I will definitely find a way to make up for the points I missed."
It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Once she opened her mouth, they became even angrier.
"Make up for it? What are you going to use to make up for it? Do you think it's easy to get these three points?"
"I've already inquired about it. The four assessment items for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation in three days are alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and beast control. How many points can you, a student from Qianji Peak, win?"
"If this is the case with all the arts of cultivation, let alone the subsequent competition. You are just a formation cultivator. Can you fight one against three and win three points?"
Xu Chunniang remained silent. Even if it was the art of formation that was tested in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, with her current attainments in formation, she might not be able to beat others.
As for the ring match, she could only say that she would try her best.
She couldn't predict how many matches she could last in the ring.
Seeing that Xu Chunniang was speechless, the others didn't even bother to look at her and went back to their rooms together.
In the end, she and Huangfu Tian were the only ones left on the flying boat.
Compared to other people's indignation, Huangfu Tian was actually in a good mood.
Xu Chunniang's poor performance made her disliked by everyone, and he was happy to see it happen.
"I thought you were so capable, but I didn't expect you couldn't even find a piece of empty spirit stone. I don't know whether I should say you have bad luck or you have done too many bad things in your daily life and thus God has retaliated against you."
Xu Chunniang didn't even look at him, just ignored him and went towards her room.
Seeing this, a ferocious look flashed across Huangfu Tian's eyes, but quickly disappeared and turned into a cold snort.
"I want to see how long you can be so proud."
After Xu Chunniang returned to the room, she confirmed that the formation in the room was activated and entered the walnut world.
The walnut world before me is not much different from before, except that it is three times larger and the sky looks a little higher.
There is no spiritual energy in this entire small world, and the border where it meets the sky is still gray.
Xu Chunniang smiled bitterly, "You glutton, if you eat a few less Void Spirit Stones, can you have less meat? Now I am the one holding you back."
Walnut World did not respond.
But she guessed that if Little Walnut could speak, he might refute her.
It may feel that all the ethereal stones were obtained under its guidance, so it is right to take them all.
Xu Chunniang withdrew from the walnut world and began to think about the second competition three days later.
There was no need to even think about refining pills and weapons, as she had never learned them.
As for making talismans, it is true that she had learned it, but that was many years ago.
