Chapter 5 Competition
Gu Chong said calmly on the side: "If your cultivation level is low, you can still improve. This is not a good idea. You will have to reincarnate as a human being in your next life."
"What do you mean, Gu Chong." Lu Zifan retorted.
"Whatever you mean, that's what I mean." Gu Chong said unconvinced.
"Then are you going to compete today?"
"Let's compete, who is afraid of whom." Gu Chong and Lu Zifan were not at odds with each other to begin with, and both of them had just found spiritual beasts this year, so no one was convinced by the other.
An unknown disciple on the side intervened and said, "You two fight every time, how about you two compete with your spiritual beasts this time?"
"Xiao Qing, come out." Gu Chong had this intention. Every year, the bond-making conference is indispensable, with scenes of spirit beasts competing against each other. The selection of the top one is decided by the votes of the disciples, and the spirit beast that wins the competition will naturally be liked by more disciples.
I saw a green snake as thick as a baby's arm snaking out from the grass, stretching out its long snake head, staring at everyone with its eyes as if quenching poison.
The green snake quickly crawled to Gu Chong's side, causing all the surrounding female cultivators to scream and retreat, leaving room for the two to fight.
Lu Zifan's spiritual beast is a scorpion with a hard carapace all over its body and a poisonous hook rising high on the back.
In a moment, a snake and a scorpion were facing each other. The two were both earth-level spiritual beasts, and both were poisonous. They attracted everyone's attention for a while.
Shi Ning hugged the mountain and hid at the back of the crowd, fearing that he might be accidentally hurt. Secondly, she is really afraid of snakes.
Shan Zhi didn't know whether it was because he was scared or something, but he kept meowing with his ears pressed against his head. It's round and has no ears.
Shi Ning stretched out his hand to touch Shan Nai and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid."
With Shi Ning's comfort, Shan Nai's mood calmed down a lot, but she still huddled in Shi Ning's arms. It must be posted.
"Your spirit beast is so cute." A female cultivator standing next to Shi Ning suddenly said.
Nowadays, spiritual power in the world of cultivation is thin. In order to help its disciples, Chengtian Sect promised them to find spiritual beasts from the Valley of Beasts a hundred years ago to help them cultivate together. Therefore, when it comes to choosing spiritual beasts, naturally the ones with stronger spiritual power are more popular. Even fights over an earth-level spiritual beast are common.
For example, Shi Ning went to the Valley of Hundred Beasts and brought back a human-level spirit beast, which was the first time in hundreds of years that it didn't even look like a human-level spirit beast. Based on this alone, many disciples gathered around Shi Ning to see what such a low-level spiritual beast could bring out of the valley.
Shan Nai is very understanding of human nature. When she hears someone praising her for being cute, she raises her tail and looks quite proud.
"Can I touch her?" a female cultivator asked boldly.
"Is it okay with Shan Nai?" Shi Ning asked Shan Nai's opinion.
Shan Nai nuzzled the female cultivator's hand with her tail very obediently.
"Ah ah ah, she took the initiative to nuzzle me."
"Why is there such a well-behaved kitten?"
"There was a cat at home before I entered the sect, and it always ignored me. By the way, junior sister, What's the name of this spiritual beast?"
"Shan Nai." Shi Ning introduced Shan Nai to him.
"Oh my God, she is so smart."
The vine attracted the attention of many disciples for a while, especially the female cultivators who were vying to touch it. Even if the male cultivators wanted to touch it, they couldn't save their dignity. . On the contrary, no one watched the battle between snake and scorpion on the other side.
I don't know who took out some meat. When Shan Zhi saw it, he ran over and ate it seriously. I purred while eating, very satisfied. After eating, Shanpi raised one of its hind legs vertically in the air, lying on its side and carefully licking its belly hair, which was round and round, like a small sesame ball.
"So cute. Such a chubby little fat boy."
Shan Nai was also wet with rain and dew, and rubbed against the disciples one by one. He was very cute and cute, winning the hearts of all the disciples.
Not many people even knew that the competition between snake and scorpion was over. The two poisonous creatures were locked in a stalemate for a while, and it was difficult to tell the difference. At the last moment, the poisonous scorpion made a crucial blow, hitting Xiaoqing's three inches with only one step.
At the end of the competition, Lu Zifan's poisonous scorpion was even better.
"How's it going?" Lu Zifan said with a proud smile.
"So what if I win? It's not like I won the first place this year. What do you have to be proud of?" Even if Gu Chong lost the competition, he would never admit defeat.
"The two highest-level spiritual beasts coming out of the Hundred Beasts Valley this year are your Green Snake and my Poisonous Scorpion."
"Now that the Green Snake has been defeated by the Poisonous Scorpion, shouldn't I be the leader this year, or you? "
In previous years, when there were spirit beast competitions, the spirit beast with the highest level and the most wins in the competition was the winner. Therefore, Lu Zifan determined that he was the number one winner this year.
A disciple on the side who was close to Lu Zifan said: "Senior brother, I won the first prize this time, so I have to treat you. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Mo Yan is drunk. We must have a good drink then."
"No problem." Lu Zifan now only feels that Full of ambition and joy on his brows, he glanced at Shi Ning's kitten and said disdainfully: "It's cute for no good."
Feiyun arrived with the sun already in the sky, and he saw all the spiritual beasts one by one. , and then said: "If you haven't formed a contract with a spirit beast yet, make a contract as soon as possible."
After forming a contract, the spirit beast can only be loyal to its master. It can be said that life and death are in the hands of the master. Everyone is prosperous, but the loss is only borne by the spiritual beast.
Shi Ning knew that she would not go too far on the road to becoming an immortal. When the time came, she would still go down to farm. Therefore, she had already explained to Shan Nai that she would not form a contract with her. When Shan Nai wants to leave, he will never interfere.
Shan Nai also fully expressed his opinion on this point. "Meow meow meow." The cat agreed.
After the initiation ceremony, it was time to vote. The names of the eighteen spirit beasts and their owners were tallied one by one, and each disciple registered the top one in his mind.
The counting of votes begins.
"Lu Zifan has one vote for Pipa Scorpion."
"Lu Zifan has one vote for Pipa Scorpion."
Lu Zifan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shi Ning provocatively.
"One vote for Gu Chong Xiaoqing."
Lu Zifan snorted coldly when he heard Gu Chong's name.
"Lu Zifan has one vote for Pipa Scorpion."
"Now seven out of ten votes belong to senior brother's Pipa Scorpion."
"That's right." Lu Zifan raised the corner of his mouth, walked to Shi Ning and said, "Junior sister, even if you are in the Valley of Beasts You made Tiantian tortured and imprisoned in Juebing Valley, but that doesn't change the fact that your spirit beast is only at the human level and cannot take the lead, which will hinder your cultivation."
"No, it's a drag . You have cultivated. Junior sister is only at the first level of Qi cultivation."
Shi Ning was not annoyed. He blinked his clear eyes and said, "Yes, I am at the first level of Qi cultivation, but my cultivation is at the first level. Does being high mean that everything will go well? Does it mean that with high cultivation, senior brother will be able to have everything go as he wants and find a beautiful woman? "
Gu Chong had revealed to himself just now why Lu Zifan was so targeted at him.
It's simply a big bloody story. To put it simply, it is a story about she loves him, he does not love her, and he loves her again.
Zhao Tiantian likes Yan Huanming, and Lu Zifan likes Zhao Tiantian. It's not too much to say that they are licking dogs. It was simply following one's lead. What happened in the Valley of Beasts last time, even if the evidence was conclusive, it was Zhao Tiantian who wanted to kill Shi Ning. Under Lu Zifan's 10,000-fold filter, it was Shi Ning who was trying to frame Zhao Tiantian.
What Shi Ning said was really heart-breaking. Lu Zifan had been in love with Zhao Tiantian for many years. Why. Don't you just want Zhao Tiantian to become a Taoist couple with you?
Lu Zifan snorted, "I think junior sister should be worried about herself. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were not a single vote?"
But just as he finished speaking, the disciple who was counting the votes said: "Shi Ningshan is one vote."
"One vote counts . What's the use?" Lu Zifan didn't take this vote seriously at all.
"Shi Ning Shan Nai has one vote."
"Shi Ning Shan Nai has one vote."
Three consecutive votes were from Shi Ning Shan Nai.
Lu Zifan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but the people on the side consoled him: "It's just these three votes. I guess I was worried that everyone would see this cat as a pity."
Lu Zifan nodded, faintly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. "Yes, look at their pitiful vote."
But the fate didn't work out, and it was still Shi Ning Shannai who sang until the seventh vote.
At present, the votes of Lu Zifan and Shi Ning are even. Lu Zifan no longer has the calmness just now. His brows have been furrowed without knowing when, and his eyes are fixed on the roster.
"Well, why do so many people vote for Shi Ning?"
"I didn't know." Lu Zifan's two fellow juniors were talking quietly on the side, making Lu Zifan even more upset.
"Shut up." Lu Zifan scolded.
But what's the use of scolding my junior brother? The disciples who were counting the votes repeated over and over again, "Shi Ning and Shan Nai have one vote."
Shi Ning and Shan Nai had already received fifty-eight votes, far ahead. Even Shi Ning didn't expect this situation. Quietly he said to Yan Huanming: "Brother, did you buy the vote for me?"
Yan Huanming said with a smile on his lips: "Don't think about it, it's all voted by the same students."
Until the end of the voting, Shi Ning and Shan Nai received a total of 121 votes, Gu Chong received 10 votes, and Lu Zifan received 7 votes.
Yan Huanming smiled and said: "Congratulations to Junior Sister and Shan Nai, you are the first one this year."
Shi Ning touched his head, "This is unreasonable." In Shi Ning's memory, he will always be a spiritual beast with high cultivation level. Winning the top spot is an unspoken secret. How come the spirit beast with the lowest cultivation level got the top spot this year?
Not only Shi Ning thought it was unreasonable, but other disciples didn't expect it either.
"Yeah, I was worried that no one would vote for Shan Zhi, so I voted."
"Who wouldn't?"
"But I think it's okay if Shan Zhi takes the lead."
"Yes, yes, so cute. I really want to think about it." Hold her in your arms."
"Actually, I didn't intend to vote for Shan Nai, but she actually took the initiative to rub me!"
Lu Zifan looked at the vote count in front of him in disbelief, his face pale. "How could this happen?"
Several disciples on the side said: "Lu Zifan just boasted that Haikou would win the first place. Who would have thought of this?"
"This tells us that people should not be too arrogant or pretentious. "
From time to time, there were a few sighing sounds coming from the surroundings. Lu Zifan felt that these sounds were like flies, buzzing in his ears non-stop.
"Shut up!" Lu Zifan shouted angrily. Even so, it cannot silence everyone's opinions.
"What are you dragging? It's really embarrassing to refuse to admit defeat."
Immortal cultivators have sharp ears and eyesight, and even if they just mutter in a low voice, it is enough for everyone to hear.
Lu Zifan had no time to argue with these people at the moment. He stared closely at the results in front of him and felt that they were all fake. How could the cat Shan Nai win the first place?
He looked at Fei Yun and said: "Master, is there something wrong with this vote? How is it possible that a wild cat of the first level has won the first place? I want to re-check the votes."
Fei Yun glanced at Lu Zifan and said in a deep voice: " Every vote has passed through my hands. Do you have an opinion about this vote or do you have an opinion about me? "
Lu Zifan lowered his head, "I don't dare, it's just that I don't accept it." Lu Zifan actually thought in his heart. Deep down, he knew that the ticket would not be fake, but he didn't believe it. Why, how could a wild cat who knew nothing take the lead?
"Of course they were chosen one by one by their classmates." Gu Chong said without hesitation while watching the excitement.
"Is there any sect rule that says that only spiritual beasts with high cultivation level can be the leader?"
"If you have this skill, why not think about whether you are not very popular, so few people vote for you."
"That's all, why bother because of that ? Let’s make more noise about this matter,” Feiyun reminded him by knocking on the table.
Lu Zifan originally wanted to refute Gu Chong's words, but now that the master has spoken, he could only swallow silently even if he was not convinced.
"Shi Ning, Shan Jie, come up."
In the past, the spirit beast that won the top spot every year would be personally enlightened by the master. If it was a smarter spirit beast, through this little bit of enlightenment, it would be able to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation and make great progress.
Shan Nai held his head high and his chest raised, his tail almost raised to the sky. He raised his furry little head to accept the enlightenment from Elder Feiyun.
Everyone looked over curiously to see what changes would happen to Shan Nai.
