"Okay, now that the sect leader has accepted the gift, let's get ready to begin the disciple competition." Qi Zixing led the way with a smile.
Jinwu Chibi was also extremely happy, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching the sky, and no one knew what he was so happy about.
Luo Mingyue decided to meet up with his disciples first, and if he found anything wrong, he would run away with them.
The competition venue for the Qi Refining disciples was on the Tianji Island arena. Hongri Villa brought four disciples, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, who were particularly pleasing to the eye. Xuanxing Gate had three disciples appear.
Luo Mingyue was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Are there any rewards for the top few?"
Qi Zixing said: "Top ten."
Luo Mingyue asked again: "How many disciples are participating in the competition today?"
Jinwu Chibi said, "There are exactly ten disciples."
Luo Mingyue was speechless.
She had originally had some expectations for the competition among the disciples. After all, she brought Mu Lingyan with her. Mu Lingyan was the hero of the novel, with incredible luck. Not to mention fighting against those of the same level, he could even fight against those of higher levels. By then, he would surely defeat everyone with a crushing manner, win the first place, and steal the limelight.
result...
There are only ten disciples in total...
Even if Mu Lingyan won first place, it would not be surprising.
Luo Mingyue asked: "There are many disciples in Xuanxing Sect, why don't you send more of them out?"
Qi Zixing smiled and said, "Guests are welcome. We should be the hosts and not send too many disciples. Otherwise, it will be suspected that we are bullying the minority with our numbers."
Luo Mingyue said: "The rewards for the competition were originally paid by you, so it doesn't matter if you give more."
Qi Zixing changed the subject and said, "The competition has begun."
The disciples began to draw lots and compete in pairs.
There are three arenas on the ground, so first three matches and then two matches will be played to determine the top five.
Next, one of the five disciples will be given a bye, and the remaining four will continue to duel in pairs.
The hero Mu Lingyan was indeed very lucky, as he became the lucky one who got a bye.
The ten Qi Refining disciples were all good-looking, and with the addition of spells of various colors blooming one after another, it was like a kaleidoscope, full of splendor.
Luo Mingyue watched with great interest for a while, but before she could get enough, the disciples' competition was over.
The three disciples she brought with her directly monopolized the top three spots.
It was so simple, so simple that Luo Mingyue felt like a fool for flying four hours to see this...
The disciples who had finished the competition came over and stood behind their own master's seat.
Jinwu Chibi praised Luo Mingyue for his great ability in teaching disciples, and hoped that Luo Mingyue could pass on some experience to him.
Luo Mingyue said modestly: "In fact, the most important thing is the disciples' own efforts. I adopt a laissez-faire teaching style and rarely pay attention to them..."
Jinwu Chibi said: "How is it possible? It must be because of the sect master's good teaching..."
Luo Mingyue chatted with him for some meaningless nonsense, and Qi Zixing couldn't stand it anymore, so he got to the point:
"Sect Master, we asked you to come here this time because we have something to ask of you."
Luo Mingyue asked: "What's the matter?"
Qi Zixing said: "I heard that the sect leader has a whip..."
Jinwu Chibi asked, "Can you whip these four disciples I brought with you?"
Luo Mingyue looked calm, but she was actually stunned. She blinked and said dryly, "Master, if you want to punish a disciple, just do it yourself. Why do you want me to do it for you?"
"Why do you have to pretend to be confused, Sect Master?" Jinwu Chibi sighed and said, "I don't have a good thing like the [Spirit Stealing Whip]. A few whips can remove the impurities on the spiritual roots. Although it is painful and cold when being beaten, but... wanting to change the aptitude of spiritual roots is itself a heaven-defying thing, so it is normal to suffer a little."
"Yes." Qi Zixing nodded, his brilliant purple eyes looked at Luo Mingyue seriously, and said: "Ordinary people cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, and then go up to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but after being hit by the [Soul Stealing Whip], they can cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. As long as they lay a solid foundation, they will have a bright future... Unfortunately, the [Soul Stealing Whip] is only effective for disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, otherwise, I would also like to be whipped a few times."
Luo Mingyue: "…"
Wait, Soul Stealing Whip?
In the memory of the vicious female supporting character, she picked up a whip one day that was very handy to use. She named it "Frozen Soul Whip" and used it to punish her disciples.
But now, after listening to what these two people said, Luo Mingyue felt a little confused. She thought about it and took out the "Frozen Soul Whip" from the storage space.
Jinwu Chibi said excitedly: "Yes, it is this whip!"
Luo Mingyue asked curiously: "How do you know it's in my hand?"
The vicious female supporting character only used the whip to beat her disciples and never took it out. How did outsiders know about the existence of this whip?
At this time, Qi Zixing explained: "We in the Xuanxing Sect are good at deducing the secrets of heaven. Some time ago, Brother Jinwu wanted to find a way to improve his spiritual roots in this world, so he came to see me and asked me to help find it. I dreamed of the Mingyue Sect through the stars, and saw the sect master whipping his disciples with a whip..."
"After waking up from the dream, I used the Mysterious Star Technique to project the appearance of the whip, and learned its name and function. Brother Jinwu was also beside me. We discussed it and each prepared a small gift. Then, I invited you here in the name of the competition..."
The main reason was that it was quite difficult for Jinwu Chibi to prepare the Ziyang ore. The poor beast cried for several days in a row and his eyes were swollen.
Luo Mingyue handed the whip to Qi Zixing, "Master, I'll lend you the whip, can you do it yourself?"
Qi Zixing shook his head and said, "This whip is the sect master's contracted spiritual weapon. It is only effective when the sect master takes action. It is useless for us to take it."
Jinwu Chibi said: "Master, don't worry. The four disciples I selected are all strong-willed people. They can withstand at least a dozen lashes. Master, don't save your energy. Just deal with them as much as you want."
Luo Mingyue: "…"
She was a little hesitant to do it.
Qi Zixing said considerately, "Xuanxing Sect has a law enforcement hall. There is a cross in the room. It is more convenient to hang people up and beat them. Do you want to beat them here, or do you want to go to the law enforcement hall?"
Luo Mingyue didn't want to go anywhere. But she accepted so many high-grade spirit stones from Qi Zixing, she couldn't just take the money and not do anything, so she could only say: "Then let's do it here."
Qi Zixing thanked him and asked his three disciples to go up to the stage together.
Luo Mingyue also walked onto the stage, raised his sleeves, and swung out a whip.
The force was just right, hitting the three disciples in turn.
"ah--"
The screams were so sharp and shrill that they almost pierced the eardrums. The three disciples rolled on the ground holding their wounds.
Luo Mingyue thought that if he used ten thousand high-quality spirit stones for just one whip, it would be a waste, so he whipped a few more times.
The disciple who was beaten was almost going crazy, tears streaming down his face, looking miserable and pitiful.
"Ouch, ouch, I can't take it anymore, it hurts..."
