Seeing the five Jindan stage elders of Xuantian Sect arriving with their disciples, the people from the other six famous and upright sects who had already stopped here all perked up.
"Ha! You made us wait so long! You Xuantian Sect are so arrogant!"
A beautiful woman in a pink gauze dress snorted coldly and spoke in an unpleasant tone.
"Red Maple Valley is the farthest from my Xuantian Sect. We are late for a reason."
Fairy Qinglian replied bluntly.
"Since you knew it was far, why didn't you come earlier?"
The beautiful woman said aggressively: "You made us wait here for two days and two nights, humph!"
"Who called you stupid?"
Fairy Qinglian has always been casual about details, and regardless of the occasion, she said directly: "The time is set for July 8th, and we are not overdue!"
"Fairy Hongfen, Fairy Qinglian, two donors, please say less."
At this time, a white-browed monk in a monk's robe walked between the two of them, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Now that everyone is here, I will begin to preside over the trial of the seven sects!"
"I am Guangzhi from Baoguang Temple. It is my turn to preside over the Seven Sects Trial this time. Now, I will announce the rules!"
As he spoke, Monk Guangzhi stretched out his hand, and dozens of golden lights shot towards the young monks present.
One of the golden lights came in front of Lin Li and turned into a golden magic card.
"This is the life card! After dripping blood, it can be connected to your life."
Monk Guangzhi said: "Although God is merciful, cultivating immortals is against the will of Heaven. If you don't make progress, you will regress! The brave must fight. The rules of the Seven Sects Trial have always been cruel!"
"However, we are a compassionate Buddhist sect. The rules this time are slightly different from previous years."
"This time, there is no need to kill the opponent. All you need to do is snatch the life card from the opponent. Therefore, the death rate this time should be slightly lower than in previous years."
"It will last for one month! During this month, the seventy participants from the seven sects are not allowed to leave the Red Maple Valley. During this month, you can use various means to snatch the life cards. In the end, the ranking of the seven sects will be determined according to the number of life cards in the hands of the representatives of each sect!"
"It's worth mentioning that in order to add some variables to the trial, I have left fifty life cards scattered throughout the Red Maple Valley. Therefore, defeating the enemy is not the only way to obtain life cards. If you are lucky and careful, you may be able to overtake others by finding dozens of life cards."
"Now, the Seven Sects Trial officially begins! However, no private fighting is allowed within this open area! You can choose to leave this place to compete, snatch the life card, or search all over Red Maple Valley for the life card."
…
"Remember, if your life tokens are taken away by others, you will get nothing. If you hold your own life tokens, the sect will give you spirit stones as rewards after you return. If you want to obtain the precious foundation-building pills, you have only one way: get more life tokens!"
Elder Zou said to the ten participants of the Xuantian Sect: "One month later, when the trial ends, you will need to have at least three life cards to obtain the foundation-building pill! Take care of yourself!"
"Three life cards?!"
The four representatives from the Dan School and the Qi School all turned pale!
For them, fighting is not what they are good at.
If they are unlucky, they may not even be able to keep the life cards in their hands, let alone get life cards from others!
"It seems that we can only pray and have better luck to find other life cards in Red Maple Valley."
The four representatives were speaking.
At the same time, the two representatives of Qi Pai said: "Two people from the Sword Sect, what are your plans? If we act together, it may be easier..."
Before they could finish their words, Lin Li said, "No need. I want to adventure alone."
"ah?"
A representative of the Fu Sect advised, “Lin Li, you are too arrogant! You must know that this is not a fight between the same sects! If you act alone, you will be besieged by the other six sects and you will most likely die!”
Elder Zou was also slightly surprised by Lin Li's words.
Lin Li had his own plans in mind.
The Blood-Drinking Demon Sword is Lin Li’s biggest secret!
If I follow the crowd, I might be in danger of being exposed!
In addition, using the sword energy of the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword, Lin Li can easily deal with group battles and is not afraid of siege at all.
If he followed everyone else, he would not be able to unleash Lin Li's full strength because he would have to hide his weaknesses!
On the other hand, there will also be other monsters in this Red Maple Valley!
If he acts alone, perhaps he can use the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword to kill monsters and further improve his cultivation!
Therefore, Lin Li said firmly: "Sorry! I'm used to walking alone."
After saying that, Lin Li turned around and left: "I will go to other places in Red Maple Valley to look around, hoping to find the life tablet left by Master Guangzhi."
…
One day later.
By a stream in Red Maple Valley.
Faintly, a golden light flickered, attracting Lin Li's attention!
"Huh? What is that?!"
Lin Li was cheered up!
After all, Red Maple Valley is a place for immortal cultivators to undergo a one-month trial, so it covers a large area!
Even if you keep walking in one direction, it is impossible to reach the end in a short period of time.
So, after walking for a whole day, Lin Li got nothing.
Now, although he did not encounter any monsters or enemies, the golden light made Lin Li excited: that might be the life card!
In addition to the life cards he already has in his hand, Lin Li only needs to obtain two more life cards, and he will be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill after the trial!
So, at this moment, seeing the golden light, Lin Li couldn't help but get excited!
Lin Li walked quickly to the stream. When he stopped and saw the life plate at the bottom of the stream, which was illuminated by the sunlight and emitting dazzling golden light, a smile appeared on his face.
Just as he waded into the knee-high stream and picked up the life card, suddenly, an inappropriate and annoying voice came from behind Lin Li: "Haha! Look, what did I find?"
Lin Li looked back.
I discovered that they were a group of people dressed in Confucian clothes.
The leader, holding a folding fan, had a handsome face and smiled, saying, "A lone disciple of Xuantian Sect!"
"Someone from Haoran Academy?"
Lin Li frowned slightly: "You followed me all the way?"
"Tsk tsk! Don't say such harsh words!"
The man with the folding fan smacked his lips and said, "You insist on doing what you want. Don't you think we can choose the same path as you?"
Then, the man with the folding fan changed the subject and said sternly, "If you know what's best for you, hand over the life card in your hand and your own life card!"
"Otherwise..."
"Don't blame us for being rude!"
