"Uh..." Zhou Weiqing swallowed his saliva, "Let's go into the city to find the address of Xuantian's talent show. The master of old sayings said that there is a place for talent show in Ubato City."
For Zhou Xiaopang's change of topic, Shangguan Binger just chuckled lightly, and didn't try to expose him, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help holding her hand tightly, Binger is always so caring.
Ubato is a port city, which is also the destination recorded in Zhou Weiqing's Sea Emperor Suo Inner Sea Chart. It feels really good to finally set foot on Xuantian Continent.
The first thing Zhou Weiqing did was to buy a map. He does not have the currency on Xuantian Continent, but the Sky Core is universal. Selling a few sky cores of respected heavenly beasts, the money he got was enough for him and Shangguan Binger to spend a while.
After wandering around the city of Ubato for a while, Zhou Weiqing found that there was no difference between this place and the vast continent. Apart from the slightly different clothes, there were no other differences.
They found a hotel to stay in, and after a simple inquiry, they got the news about Xuantian's talent show.
Ubato is an important port town, and such a big city is naturally indispensable in the draft. And their luck is very good, this year's draft will be held just one month later.
After receiving such affirmative news, Zhou Weiqing decided to retreat for a period of time. Although he and Shangguan Binger did not face any real danger during this sea trip, it can be said that he and Shangguan Binger have truly withstood the test of the sea. A lot of understanding. The cultivation base has also improved, and it is time to use this time to integrate this understanding with one's own cultivation base.
Shangguan Binger naturally cultivated with Zhou Weiqing, and her body is full of holy power, and with Zhou Weiqing by her side, she can use the holy power to practice directly. When the holy power is exhausted, Zhou Weiqing only needs to inject some That's it. This made Shangguan Binger's cultivation progress extremely quickly. On the third day of retreat, she successfully broke through the realm of the seven beads.
As for Zhou Weiqing himself, his progress in cultivation is also quite fast. Although he has completed the Immortal Art, the speed at which his Saint Energy is increasing does not mean to slow down at all. In the process of continuous condensing, his cultivation base naturally improved. The holy power is only one step away from the thirty-seventh level.
However, since the Immortal Art has already been completed, Zhou Weiqing has no idea how to break through to the thirty-seventh stage. Only through continuous accumulation, I hope that in the process of accumulation, the holy power can break through on its own.
A month is gone in a blink of an eye, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er will go out for a walk every day besides practicing, to experience the customs and customs here, and learn more about the things in Xuantian Continent.
Their retreat was very effective. During this month's retreat, Shangguan Bing'er, relying on the powerful effect of her holy power, insisted on raising her cultivation level by one stage, directly reaching the twenty-ninth stage. Although Zhou Weiqing still failed to break through the thirty-seventh level, the holy power in his body had been cultivated and experienced for a month, not only became more condensed, but also his own understanding of the holy power was much deeper. It seems that the distance from the thirty-seventh level is only a layer of window paper. How to pierce Zhou Weiqing does not know, but he knows that as long as he keeps accumulating, he will definitely be able to break through successfully.
The central square of Ubato. It's the big day of the year again, and the city lord of Ubato has already sat on the rostrum early. There were crowds of people around the temporary draft platform. With the maintenance of a large number of soldiers, order can be guaranteed.
"My lord, this is the registration list for this draft." An attendant handed over the list.
Santan, the lord of Ubato City, took the list, but he didn't read it himself. Instead, he handed it to the old man sitting next to him with a solemn face, "Master Erchun, please read it."
"Hmm." The man called Er Chun was wearing a blue robe with a silver crescent moon embroidered on the left chest.
After opening the list, Master Erchun scanned it once, and said calmly: "There are more than one hundred people participating in this draft. The number is too much. Please inform me that all those who have less than four jewels will be disqualified from the competition. "
San Tan was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "Master, this is not very good. The previous rule is three beads!"
Er Chun gave him a cold look, and Sang Tan suddenly felt the cold sweat on his back, "I don't want to waste any more time here, you just said when you announced that this is what our Xuantian Palace meant. Could it be that our Xuantian Palace is still here?" Do you need to explain something to those little casual cultivators? You don’t have enough strength to participate in some draft.”
"Yes, yes." San Tan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself, you Xuantian Palace is not afraid, but I, the city lord of Ubato, am afraid of those dzi jewel masters making trouble!
The requirements of the Xuantian talent show are extremely strict, and the physical bead masters and mind bead masters don't even consider it. Only Heavenly Jewel Masters are recruited. Originally, it was harsh enough to be under the age of 30 and have a cultivation level of three jewels or above to be eligible for registration. Now that it has been increased to four jewels, it would be strange if it did not arouse the dissatisfaction of those casual cultivators. Of course, they didn't dare to do anything, who would dare to offend Xuantian Palace!
Sure enough, when the news was announced, it caused a commotion among the contestants. Many Heavenly Jewel Masters with three-Jewel cultivation who claimed to be good at condensing bodies and rubbing skills complained a lot. You must know that they had already paid the registration fee. But just as Santan, the lord of Ubato, thought, these people were dissatisfied, but none of them really dared to make trouble. Who dares to offend Xuantian Palace? Master Erchun next to San Tan is only the person in charge of Ubato City in Xuantian Palace, and he is already arrogantly raising his chin to the sky.
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Binger were also among the crowd at this time, listening to the dissatisfaction of these participating loose cultivators, they sent a voice transmission to Shangguan Binger: "It seems that although this Xuantian Palace is very powerful in the Xuantian Continent, But it’s not very popular!”
Shangguan Bing'er said: "This is inevitable. The Xuantian Palace is the only branch, and its subordinates must have their eyes above the top, so it's no wonder they can win the hearts of the people. It's just because of their strength, these people just dare not speak out. If If Xuantian Palace can't deal with it, the Xuantian Empire will split up sooner or later if it continues to develop like this."
After screening by the draft rules that were just promulgated, more than half of the original 100 people who signed up had been reduced by more than half, leaving only 30 or so people.
On the rostrum, San Tan said to Er Chun: "Master, can we start now?"
Er Chun didn't even move his head, just snorted and hummed the word "um".
Only then did San Tan get up and announce, "The annual Xuantian Draft has officially begun. Ubato powerhouses, show your strongest abilities and work hard to enter the finals in Tiancheng. The first round of the draft, Tianli test, start."
On the draft stage, someone moved five stone pillars about one meter high, each with a transparent crystal ball on it. Obviously this is used to evaluate the power of heaven.
Master Erchun on the rostrum stood up slowly, took a few steps in the air in a somewhat ostentatious manner, and landed on the stage. As soon as he appeared, the audience fell silent.
The proud old man put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Contestants with more than four beads take turns to test the heavenly power. Let's start, five people at a time. Record the strength of the heavenly power."
Following his appearance, a middle-aged man also wearing a blue robe came up from one side. If you look carefully, you can find that the pattern embroidered on his chest is a silver star, obviously his status is far inferior to that. Master Wei Erchun. He held a large notebook in his hand, apparently for recording.
Soon, there was a special person in charge of organizing more than 30 celestial jewel masters with more than four celestial energies to enter the field in groups of five.
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were at the back. After the first group of five entered the stage, each of them pressed their right hands on the crystal ball at the top of the column, accompanied by the sound of the silver star embroidery on the chest. The five of them mobilized the power of heaven at the same time.
Immediately, the five crystal balls lit up at the same time, emitting a faint white light. With the continuous injection of heavenly energy, those white lights rose slowly, and the difference could be seen at once. People with higher cultivation bases naturally have a higher degree of white light rising.
It lasted for about five minutes, and when the beams of light could no longer continue to climb, the one-star deacon of Xuantian Palace who was in charge of recording waved his hand, indicating that they could end it. Then came the second batch of people to go on stage and do the same test.
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said to Shangguan Bing'er: "This is quite interesting, let's do a Heavenly Power test first. However, if it is only a Heavenly Power test, it is impossible to judge the strength of a Heavenly Jewel Master. There should be others later. Test going on."
Shangguan Bing'er nodded, and when she was about to speak, a somewhat dissonant voice suddenly came from behind the two, "Even if there are other tests, it doesn't matter to you people, it is impossible for you to be selected."
The voice sounded a bit sharp and made people feel very uncomfortable. Zhou Weiqing frowned slightly, turned his head to look, and happened to see a young man in his twenties who was drooling while looking at Shangguan Binger's perky buttocks Woolen cloth. Seeing Zhou Weiqing turning his head to look at him, he immediately raised his head, his clothes full of arrogance.
A icy coldness flashed across Zhou Weiqing's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, "What do you mean, brother? We haven't conducted the evaluation yet, how do you know that our cultivation is not enough to advance?"
