Faced with Lu Bei's shameless talk of adding something extra, Qin Ziyou decisively rejected it and once again advised him to put down the 'Heavenly Rules Mysterious Mirror Great Adjustment Hand' and choose a useful magical power or technique.
Qin Ziyou treated Lu Bei well. He designated Lu Bei as the champion, allowed him to take out rewards in advance, allowed Lu Bei to do whatever he wanted in the arena, gave him a nine-tailed dragon fish from the Tianjian Sect, and guided Lu Bei in choosing a martial arts method with his experience as a senior.
He was busy running around and contributing his manpower and effort, so it was no wonder that rumors were spreading outside that Lu Bei and he were distant relatives.
Lu Bei, the person involved, himself felt that there was something wrong. It was impossible that he was a relative, and Qin Ziyu was being too attentive for no reason. He must have a female apprentice who was a burden on him and had yet to find a market for her.
If you are brave enough, there are several of them.
Let's get back to the point. Although Qin Ziyou's original intention was for the great cause of the human race, he valued Lu Bei's aptitude and understanding rather than Lu Bei as a person, but in reality, Lu Bei got the upper hand after all.
Lu Bei couldn't deny this.
If it came to another technique, he would be willing to follow Qin Ziyou's advice, learn from the painful experiences of his predecessors, and choose another magical power or technique.
But the 'Heavenly Rules and Mysterious Mirrors' is different. It clearly states the innate Qi, and it seems to be tailor-made for him.
Even if the seniors can’t do it, he definitely can.
After acquiring a magical power, Lu Bei could then choose another technique or a magic weapon. Just like before, he chose to have them all.
The rules of the holy land are strict. There is no such thing as extras, and it is impossible to get something for free.
Even if Lu Bei is eloquent and can praise Qin Ziyou to the sky, it will be useless. If he wants to have it all, he must pay an equal price.
Barter.
In the end, Lu Bei got two jade slips and a magic weapon.
Two jade slips, one magical power, and one martial art.
His supernatural power is the Great Adjuster of the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven, and his technique is the 'Eclipse Great Demon Buddha Speaks of the Infinite Heart Sutra', which can increase endurance.
The reason why Lu Bei chose this technique was not because of its long name, nor because "Eclipse Demon Buddha" sounded cool.
Instead, Qin Ziyou warned earnestly that the orthodox Buddhist skills contained zero demonic elements and were suitable for the practice of the fusion stage monks with clear minds. It was important to have a kind heart and do good deeds, as clear as a mirror, and to obtain great and infinite positive results with fearless causes. The fewer demonic thoughts a monk had in his heart, the higher his achievements would be.
Some evil sword practitioners with bad intentions and evil intent can only comprehend a skill that increases the health bar by practicing this technique.
Qin Ziyou said the same thing again. The Eclipse Demon Buddha said that the Infinite Heart Sutra meets Lu Bei's requirements, but it is not suitable as the first choice. Please have some idea in your mind and quickly change to another technique.
Lu Bei is a very B person, and is very self-aware. He doesn't care about people with bad intentions, evil intentions, or evil swordsmen.
He has the will to slay demons, and there is not a single evil thought in his body. He is one of the best good people in the world and he deserves to practice this technique.
The last magic weapon is called the 'Dragon Binding Rope', which is of average quality. Its original owner was a cultivator at the second level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Lu Bei followed the principle of equivalent exchange and exchanged the red rope bell of Ji Chen, a cultivator at the second level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, for this item.
Originally, he wanted to keep the red rope bell and give it to his senior sister, cousin and others to add some fun to their lives, but when he heard the name "Dragon Binding Rope", he couldn't help himself.
If I remember correctly, a certain Jiejiao master held a belt with the same name, and his record was to have tied up the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chenjiao.
The Jiejiao master's name is not important. Lu Bei only knows that he has three beautiful sisters, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao. The name of the Chenjiao Golden Immortal tied by the belt is not important either. Anyway...
It doesn't matter anyway.
Lu Bei was quite satisfied with the magic weapon, the Dragon Binding Rope. He usually tied it up with his belt, and when he encountered a strong enemy, he would tie him up in various ways. No matter if the enemy was a demon witch or a righteous fairy, he would just take off his pants and be done with it.
He had boasted in front of his cheap disciple Xiao Fengxian before, pointing at his waistband and saying it was a rope to bind immortals. Although he didn't have a rope to bind immortals now, using the Dragon Binding Rope instead was considered to be keeping his word and fulfilling his boast.
Speaking of belts, Lu Bei could remember different brands of belts, including the Immortal Binding Rope and the Dragon Binding Rope, as well as the Golden Rope, the Heaven-Binding Silk, the Demon-Binding Rope, the Dragon Binding Rope, and the Changhong Rope.
Among them, the Dragon Binding Rope and the Dragon Binding Rope have attribute restraint on the dragon clan, the Demon Binding Rope has restraint on the demon clan, and what Lu Bei wants most is the Golden Rope. Laojun is famous, and his belt must be the most powerful.
There was just one question that had been bothering Lu Bei for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Why did Laojun's belt end up in the hands of a nine-tailed fox, and a very senior old fox at that
This question cannot be thought about too deeply, just like the Flaming Mountain, the Banana Fan, the Samadhi Fire, Princess Iron Fan, and Red Boy. Thinking too much will be unfriendly to the Minotaur.
Lu Bei was satisfied after getting the three items. He simply made a sacrifice to refine the Dragon Binding Rope and replaced it with his original belt, thinking about going into seclusion to practice when he returned.
The human race's holy land reaped a rich harvest, especially in terms of qualifications, with its inventory reaching an inhumane 9.72 billion, which is rounded to 10 billion.
First, complete the Bu Bu Lian Fa, which is also a Buddhist practice, and then advance to the Eclipse Demon Buddha's Infinite Heart Sutra.
It doesn't matter if he spends a little more, as he has enough qualifications to be confident. Besides, he has already rented an arena for a long time, and there is still a month and a half left, which is enough time to gain another wave of experience.
The two of them left the treasure pavilion. On the way, Qin Ziyou slowly spoke: "Sect Master Lu, you personally experienced the attack of the demon race on the Wuzhou shuttle, and you have also experienced the ancient Fengxuan formation. If the demon race uses this formation to attack the human country on the northern frontier, what are the chances of winning?"
Is there any need to think about it? The human race suffered a crushing defeat!
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and said impartially: "At the beginning, the human cultivators were defeated, but later they found a way to break the situation and drove the monsters back to the Ten Thousand Monsters Country, and it ended with a tragic victory."
"Sect Master Lu's idea coincides with mine. This is a rare opportunity, and the Holy Land does not want to miss it."
"???"
A string of question marks flashed across Lu Bei's mind. What did it mean? In order to obtain the diagram of the 'Ancient Sealing Array', the Holy Land was going to let the demons in
No way, what if something goes wrong
Seeing the confusion in Lu Bei's eyes, Qin Ziyou said meaningfully: "The Ten Thousand Monsters Nation is in disarray, and the various tribes are united in appearance but divided in spirit. In order to incite war, some monsters have planned a sneak attack on the human race's holy land, and the Ancient Sealing Mysterious Array is their trump card to gain fame."
Lu Bei's forehead was full of question marks again. From what he heard, he understood that the Holy Land had an undercover agent in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.
Won't…
Oh, that’s right, this is how cultivating immortality works.
"Master Lu, just be aware of this. During the conference, if there are any unusual movements in the Seven Killings City, you should be more restrained and don't kill the monsters directly when you encounter them..."
Qin Ziyou said slowly: "Some monsters look like monsters, but they are actually people wearing monster skins. They have made great contributions and sacrificed a lot for our human race."
"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Qin. I am overwhelmed."
"… "
Qin Ziyou's eyelids twitched. When talking to a smart person, you don't need to waste too much time on words, just stop when you need to get to the point. But when talking to a shameless smart person, if you dare to stop when you need to get to the point, he will take advantage of you to climb up the ladder.
Qin Ziyou waved his sleeves and left. Lu Bei quickly followed. Not long after he walked, he saw Zhu Xiushi, who was smiling happily.
The rich woman risked her life and put all her wealth on Lu Bei. She was so rich that she couldn't stop smiling. She was so happy to get more than ten magic weapons. The more she looked at the pretty boy, the more she liked him. She walked up to him and put her arm around his shoulders, as if to say, "Follow my sister and I won't let you suffer any loss."
Lu Bei ignored it and refused to provide information about the second place. Zhu Xiushi wanted to get some information out of him, but he said, "Okay, let's settle the previous account first."
—
Yutai Courtyard.
The bad boy and the female tutor walked into the room, closed the door and windows, and set up a barrier, which made a certain model student extremely dissatisfied.
Because he is a good student, he will not turn evil even if he is jealous. He will just sulk by himself, go to a quiet room and study in seclusion.
Inside the soundproof barrier, Zhu Xiushi took out six magic weapons to pay the bill and placed them in a row in front of Lu Bei.
During the trip to the Qiyan Secret Realm, Lu Bei obtained three useless magic weapons, the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation, the Three Mountains Ring, and the Mother-and-Child Magnetic Yuan Knife, and traded them with Zhu Xiushi. The latter had been picking and choosing in the Imperial City Secret Realm of the Capital, but failed to find a suitable trading item. Today, he made a huge profit and returned the Three Mountains Ring and the Mother-and-Child Magnetic Yuan Knife, and added four magic weapons by the way, returning Lu Bei double the amount.
They were all magic weapons for surviving the first level of tribulation, and were nothing more than scrap metal in Lu Bei's eyes. He put them into his pocket with a look of disdain, intending to sell them to Qin Ziyu in a few days as a barter, exchanging them for two magic weapons for surviving the third or fourth level of tribulation at a loss.
"Master Lu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. My sister has already paid off the debt she owes you. Where is the information I want?"
"These are just a few useless scraps. I am already giving you a huge favor by accepting them. How can you be so embarrassed to ask for information?" Lu Bei snorted coldly and rubbed them with his fingertips, indicating that he wanted to pay more.
Zhu Xiushi made the investment with great reluctance and took out a magic weapon and handed it over, only then did he get information about the second place.
"Jiang He and Jie Se both have the possibility of winning the second place. This sect master won too quickly and was unable to find out the strength of the two. I can only say that the victory and defeat are very close."
Lu Bei was paid to do the job, so he gave a truthful answer, and added at the end: "In fact, my cousin is also very powerful. Counting the time, she has been practicing with this master for almost a year. With such a long time, even a pig can reach the sky, not to mention that she has the fate of a white tiger, so she is no exception to taking second place."
For such a long time, you two have been practicing together honestly without causing any murder
Zhu Xiushi looked at them with disdain, thinking that the two were slow in their work and not at all straightforward. Then he took out a Qiankun Ring, trying to awaken Lu Bei's dormant memory, and named the second place.
"cousin."
Lu Bei pondered for a moment and gave a rather subjective answer.
Seeing Zhu Xiushi's disbelief, he shrugged and explained, "You can use magic weapons in the finals. My cousin and I are connected by aura, so she can use my magic weapons. The possibility of defeating the two of them is very high."
"You have magic weapons, and so do others. Jiang He is a descendant of the royal family of Zhao Qin, a great human race country. If we really talk about magic weapons, he is much richer than you." Zhu Xiu Shi shook his head.
So what, does he have the Xiong Chu three-piece set
Lu Bei refuted in his heart and took over the topic, "Jiang He seems to have no desires and does not care about winning or losing, but he is actually arrogant and will not give in easily. His first place in the previous two competitions is the best evidence."
"Isn't that worse?"
"Don't interrupt, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Lu Bei rolled his eyes at Zhu Xiushi and said, "Because he is too arrogant, he only cares about the first place and doesn't bother to compete for the second place. If he can't beat me, he has no ambition in this conference. If my cousin fights him, it will be a formality at best, and she may not even use her magic weapon."
"What about Jiese, what kind of bald donkey is he?"
"A very powerful bald donkey, who has reincarnated and cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. With his strength and realm, he is qualified to take second place."
At this point, Lu Bei paused, and seeing that Zhu Xiushi did not interrupt, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, "This monk is good in everything except that he is too steady. He has a competitive spirit but no desire to win. This sect master can see that he did not come to participate in the competition with his own will. When facing my cousin or Jiang He, he would probably stop when he saw an advantage and admit defeat after a few moves."
Is this true? You are not familiar with them, so why are you so sure
Zhu Xiushi scratched her head and frowned, wondering who would take second place. From a personal perspective, she naturally hoped that Zhu Qilan would win consecutive victories and eventually take second place, but because of her understanding of Lu Bei, she felt that if she placed a bet, she would end up losing both her money and her life.
Why do people lose
Isn't this nonsense? If you lose everything, you naturally have to find another way to make a living to stop the loss, so as not to die next time.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiushi asked tentatively: "Sect Master Lu, what if Sister Yalaner loses?"
"Come to the Tianjian Sect. This Sect Master will introduce you to a livelihood that will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You will be able to survive the Tribulation Period safely, and at the very least, you can become an Earthly Immortal."
Lu Bei made the promise with a serious face. If Le Ziren was very compatible with his personality and was willing to retire in Tianjian Sect, he would give him the status of a supreme elder and keep him in the secret realm.
As expected, you have no good intentions.
Zhu Xiushi rolled his eyes, dispersed the barrier to let the pretty boy go, and frowned, wondering whether to continue betting.
It is certainly the best policy to quit while you are ahead, but having tasted the sweetness, she still wants to try again.
Lu Bei got seven magic weapons and a Qiankun ring filled with spiritual crystals. He kicked the door and walked out contentedly. As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Zhu Shihan from the Huangji Sect.
"Meet Sect Master Lu."
Compared with bad boys, Zhu Shihan can be said to be both good in character and in study. Seeing Lu Bei's overwhelming performance in the competition area, he felt that he was not strong enough and was just a poor student. He wanted to find an examiner to recharge himself before the exam.
"It's Xiao Zhu. What's up? Are you here to get extra lessons from the teacher?"
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, put on a refreshed look, and raised the dragon-binding rope on his waist: "Mr. Zhu is still resting, and he won't be able to get up for a while. Come back in an hour."
Zhu Shihan: “…”
It is said that the Huangji Sect does not care about human affairs, and the royal family is not much better. It is really despicable that they are so ugly and disregard the reputation of the Zhu family.
"Don't get me wrong, Xiao Zhu. The reason why you are tired is because you are helping me practice. You know, the competition is about to start, and I am under a lot of pressure to win."
Zhu Shihan: “…”
Come on, you are a better fighter than your teacher. Once the door is closed, it’s hard to tell who will tutor whom!
Besides, you are the top candidate in the Holy Land and you don’t need to participate in the competition at all, so where does the pressure come from
Zhu Shihan was a sensible young man. He clenched his fist and coughed twice: "Thank you for your reminder, Sect Master Lu. Since you are still resting, I will come back to bother you in an hour."
"sensible."
Lu Bei smiled with relief, patted Zhu Shihan on the shoulder, and warned: "I still say the same thing, don't misunderstand me, and don't spread rumors."
Zhu Shihan nodded silently. He would not spread the news, but he could not guarantee whether the elders of Huangji Sect would spread the news.
