Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 17: Conditions of Fufeng City Lord
Only the Lord of Fufeng City, who controls the Giant Spirit Monument, can see the specific situation of the preliminary test.
Therefore, including the cultivators who took part in the preliminary examination, except for Lin Kui, who like Lu Qingshan had also reached the ninth level of the Giant Spirit Realm, no one knew his specific appearance so far, only his name.
Lu Qingshan did not want to encounter the troubles of the so-called "celebrity". After Lu Zhou and Lu Yuan left, before anyone could react, he quietly left the square and returned to Fan Tower in Qingfeng Realm.
Among the many cultivators on the field, only Lin Kui seemed to casually glance at Lu Qingshan who disappeared in the crowd.
"Lu Qingshan...I lost to you this time, but I will definitely win back next time!" Lin Kui murmured.
…
Just moments after returning to Fanlou, Lu Qingshan received a spiritual message from the outside world.
Someone actually came to visit.
"True Master, is there anything I can help you with?" After discovering that the visitor was actually True Master Bei Ming, Lu Qingshan was a little surprised. While asking, he led him into Fan Tower.
"You hid it quite well," Bei Ming Zhen Zun looked Lu Qingshan up and down, "Even I underestimated you. With your performance in the preliminary examination, it would be no problem for you to be in the top ten thousand in the Southern Region. I'm afraid these three spirit crystals will be given to you for free, right?"
"Don't be arrogant, kid." Lu Qingshan said shyly.
Bei Ming Zhen Zun waved his hand and said, "I won't talk to you about these nonsense. I came to you this time because I was asked by the Lord of Fufeng City."
"The Lord of Fufeng City?" Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bei Ming Zhen Zun nodded. "He has seen your performance in the preliminary examination, and he is very optimistic about you. If you can represent the Qingzhou cultivators in the Seven Realms Discussion and get a good ranking, he, as the Lord of Qingzhou, will also be proud."
“So, the Lord of Fufeng City asked me to explain to you that as long as you can make it into the top ten thousand in the Seven Realms Discussion Forum, he can make the decision and allocate a fourth-grade spiritual vein to your Lu family as a reward.” Bei Ming Zhenzun said lightly.
"A fourth-grade spiritual vein?" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
The fourth-grade spiritual vein is a spiritual vein that only a large family of cultivators that has produced a Nascent Soul True Lord can possess. It is also the cornerstone of a family.
"Yes, the Lord of Fufeng City was so generous that even I was a little surprised." Bei Ming Zhenzun affirmed.
"However, don't think that just because you performed well in the preliminary exam, it will be easy for you to be in the top ten thousand in the Seven Realms Discussion Forum."
"There are a total of thirty-seven states in the Southern Region for this preliminary exam. Our Qingzhou is only in the middle among the thirty-seven states. Each state also has one thousand places for the re-examination.
Among them there are 37,000 people.
In addition, the Southern Region General City will provide 10,000 places for the re-examination.
In addition, you have to understand that the monks selected by Zongsi City are definitely stronger than those in our states, and they are not just a little bit stronger.
That is to say, in our Southern Region, based on the number of people alone, there will be nearly 50,000 cultivators entering the semi-finals.
Among the seven regions of the human race, the Southern Region is only in the middle to lower position in terms of area.
Each of the three largest regions in Zhongzhou is almost half the size of the Southern Region.
According to this rough estimate, the number of cultivators from the seven regions who will eventually enter the re-examination of the seven regions will reach 500,000. "
Qingzhou is just a small state after all. From the perspective of the human race, it is a poor and remote place.
The number one person in Qingzhou, if placed among the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Southern Region General City , would most likely be ranked in the middle.
It is indeed very difficult to stand out and enter the top ten thousand among the five hundred thousand talented monks who have gone through a preliminary round of tests.
For a cultivator who can achieve this level, as long as he does not die halfway and continues to grow, it will be absolutely no problem for him to eventually become a Void Refining cultivator.
You have to know that the Lord of Fufeng City is himself a Void Refining cultivator.
That is why the reward given by the Lord of Fufeng City is so huge and beyond imagination.
Because it's more of an investment than a reward.
If Lu Qingshan's guess was correct, the Lord of Fufeng City should have offered the same conditions to Lin Kui.
"I'll try my best." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and agreed.
Trying his best to get a high ranking has always been his goal, and he has no reason to refuse this free benefit from the Lord of Fufeng City.
Besides, a fourth-grade spiritual vein can indeed allow the Lu family's strength to leap up a level.
Bei Ming Zhen Zun nodded and kindly said to comfort him: "Then you should perform well. There is no need to feel upset even if you fail. With your talent, if you are willing, why not let us give you a place in the next sequence?"
"Thank you very much for your appreciation." Lu Qingshan said gratefully.
…
"Lu Qingshan, what is the Seven Realms Discussion? Also, you want to leave here and go to the Zhongwu Realm?" The Western Rat King, who dared to speak only after Bei Ming Zhenzun left Fanlou, blinked at Lu Qingshan and asked puzzledly.
Lu Qingshan and the King of Western Rat briefly introduced the Seven Realms Dao Competition.
"I want to go too!" The King of Western Rat immediately clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.
Lu Qingshan did not object and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll just take you to see the world."
Although the King of Western Rat could not serve as his demon pet and participate in the Seven Realms Discussion with him.
But if nothing unexpected happens, after the Seven Realms Discussion, he will either join the Sword Sect or stay in the Central Martial Realm, and will not return to the Southern Realm in the short term.
So naturally the King of Rat from the West would be taken away together.
…
Time passed, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go."
Lu Qingshan shouted to the Western Rat King, then stood up, pushed the door open, and headed straight for the cross-domain teleportation array.
The cross-domain teleportation array can be considered a forbidden area, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter.
At this moment, at the teleportation array that was not busy and even a bit deserted in the past, there was a large number of cultivators waiting quietly.
Not far in front of them, there was a large formation composed of huge spirit pillars.
These spirit pillars are carved with magical Taoist patterns.
Mysterious auras that could shock others continuously emanated from it.
Lin Kui, who was standing in a conspicuous position in the crowd, nodded to Lu Qingshan after seeing Lu Qingshan coming.
Lu Qingshan also responded with a look and disappeared into the crowd.
A moment later, a sound of breaking wind was heard.
Then a figure appeared in the air like lightning.
It was the Lord of Fufeng City.
The Fufeng City Lord's eyes slowly swept over the cultivators. Only when he looked at Lu Qingshan and Lin Kui did he pause for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "After the initial test, you should have some understanding of the cruelty and intensity of the Seven Realms Discussion, so I will not say more. In short, whether it is for your own path or for the clans and sects behind you... perform well, and don't bring shame to us Qingzhou cultivators!"
"Understood!" The monks nodded silently and responded in unison.
