"You are too polite, Brother Sun. I am already very grateful to you for coming all the way to attend my Dan-forming Ceremony."
Su Yu smiled sweetly and raised her glass in return.
Han Changming sat in the back and enjoyed the wine and food with peace of mind.
The Han family brought gifts worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. The fine wine and delicacies on the table all contained spiritual energy, which was beneficial to the cultivation of immortal practitioners.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, drinking alone is meaningless. With so many cultivators here today, why don't we hold a duel to learn from each other?"
Granny Jinhua's eyes turned and she made a suggestion.
"I agree. Without a good start, those youngsters may not try their best. Fellow Daoist Liu, Haige is a wealthy family. Why don't you give out dozens of foundation-building pills as rewards? What do you think?"
Master Chihuo agreed. He said that Tinghai Pavilion had a long tradition and could make its own foundation-building pills, which was a very important reason.
Hearing that Haige was holding the Jindan Ceremony, both Master Chihuo and Granny Jinhua had presented gifts, so naturally he wanted to find a chance to get some in return.
Liu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, you are joking. Foundation Building Pills are not easy to refine, but what Madam Jin said makes sense. Let's hold a magic battle competition. The top ten will receive rewards, and the top five will be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill."
His voice was not loud, but all the monks present could hear it clearly.
After hearing this, Han Changming showed a thoughtful look on his face. If the reward was the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would participate.
"Foundation Building Pills as rewards for the top five? That's too little! Fellow Daoist Liu, please give out a few more Foundation Building Pills as rewards!" Master Chihuo said with a frown.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, no matter how rich Haige is, it can't withstand such losses. In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are other things as rewards."
After hearing this, Master Chihuo didn't know what to say.
Liu Sheng gave an order and sent a team of Tinghai Pavilion disciples to build the arena.
Many forces came to celebrate the birthday, and each force brought several Qi-refining monks. If all of them participated in the fighting conference, it would be a waste of time. Liu Sheng set a restriction that each force could only send three Qi-refining monks to participate, and their cultivation must be above the seventh level of Qi-refining and they must be under forty years old.
Tinghai Pavilion also sent three Qi-refining monks to participate, and Lihuo Island and Golden Snake Island both sent disciples to participate.
As there is a reward of Foundation Establishment Pill, Han Changming will naturally participate. Although it is just a competition, swords and knives are blind and there may be casualties. All cultivators participating in the fighting conference must sign a life and death agreement and are responsible for their own life and death.
The disciples of Tinghai Pavilion were very efficient and quickly built ten arenas.
Because of the reward of Foundation Establishment Pill, Tinghai Pavilion limited the number of participants. The number of Qi Refining monks who participated in the duel reached 138 people. They were divided into groups of two and drew lots to compete.
Han Changming drew lot number seven and walked to stage number seven. His opponent was a tall and thin woman in a green dress who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Each arena is set up with a formation, and there is a foundation-building cultivator serving as the referee.
A light blue water curtain covered the arena to prevent the aftermath of the fight from hurting others.
As soon as the competition started, Han Changming immediately threw out a stack of fireball talismans. Since this was about the foundation-building pill, he would not be merciful.
Hundreds of red fireballs shot towards him, and before they hit him, an unbearable heat came towards him.
The green-skirted woman's face changed instantly, and she quickly raised a green shield, blocking in front of her, and slapped two first-grade, top-quality defensive talismans on her body.
A series of explosions sounded, and a raging fire engulfed the green shield.
Two giant fireballs as big as water tanks fell from the sky, bringing with them astonishing heat waves, and hit the defensive shield of the woman in the green dress.
Boom!
A large area of red flames engulfed the woman in green skirt, emitting a monstrous heat wave.
With a few "whoosh" sounds, five scarlet flying knives sank into the sea of fire, followed by a chaotic "bang bang" sound.
A yellow seal suddenly flew over the sea of fire, quickly grew to the size of a house, and smashed down heavily.
With a loud bang, the yellow seal smashed into the sea of fire, causing a powerful gust of air to burst out.
"Stop, I give up, I give up." The woman in green skirt begged for mercy hurriedly.
"Han Changming wins." the referee announced loudly.
Han Changming showed a look of joy and put away his flaming sword and mountain-shaking seal.
The flames dissipated, and the woman in green skirt looked at Han Changming with a resentful look, as if blaming Han Changming for not being gentle and considerate to women. She jumped off the stage reluctantly.
"Changming, you did a good job. You grasped the timing very well. Keep up the good work." Han Deling praised.
Han Changming agreed and watched the others fight.
The temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill is too great, and the Qi Refining cultivators participating in the Fighting Conference are all outstanding talents from various forces.
A deafening roar was heard, and a certain arena was engulfed in flames, with an astonishing momentum.
Not long after, the flames dissipated, and Chen Yunfeng lay with his hands behind his back, and a man with a charred body fell to the ground, breathing weakly.
"Chen Yunfeng wins."
Han Changming was secretly surprised. Chen Yunfeng was definitely a strong opponent.
One after another, people came on stage to compete, each using their own methods.
Sister Ye Yufeng also participated in the fighting competition. They also used a large number of talismans to hurt the enemy. With the help of a large number of first-level talismans, they easily defeated their opponents.
Disciples from the Huoyun Sect also joined the battle. A young girl in a red dress waved a red flag, releasing a large red flame to hurt the enemy. Her body was surrounded by a red wall of fire.
The red flag in the red skirt girl's hand was too powerful. The opponent couldn't block it at all and could only admit defeat.
A young man in a green robe held a green and red folding fan and waved it gently. A powerful hurricane flew out, blowing away the attacking spells and magic weapons.
With another wave of the folding fan, a large piece of red flame flew out and hit the enemy fiercely.
The young man in green robe grasped the opportunity very accurately. He seized the opponent's weakness, released more than a dozen giant wind blades, and defeated his opponent.
According to the introduction of the Qingyun Sect disciple next to him, the young man in green robe is Li Yutang, one of the Seven Sons of Qingyun, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
A girl with snow-white skin and a golden shirt released two giant golden pythons with thick waists, which bit through the opponent's defense, scaring the opponent into quickly admitting defeat.
Jin Yaoyao, descendant of Granny Jinhua, has reached the ninth level of Qi training.
A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a blue shirt, controlled a white porcelain bottle, which sprayed out countless cold air. He transformed into various forms of monsters to attack the enemy and defeated his opponent easily.
He Yang, the disciple of Master Chihuo, has reached the eighth level of Qi training.
The most eye-catching performance was by a young man in his twenties in a blue shirt. He was proficient in many water-attribute spells, and had mastered the water sword technique, water wall technique, and water python technique to perfection. His casting speed was extremely fast, and his opponent was defeated within five breaths.
Xue Hai, Liu Sheng's registered disciple, is one of the five heroes of Tinghai Pavilion.
The first round of competition ended quickly and sixty-nine people advanced to the second round.
This time, Han Changming drew number five, and his opponent was a dark and thin middle-aged man who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
