It took Qingyang about four or five hours to digest the piece of snow muscle paste that he dug before, and all the useless things were discharged, and the bridging powder was refined and absorbed by him, just as Qingyang expected, the bridging san did have a certain effect on repairing the Jindan cracks, and Qingyang's situation also improved, but the change was not very big, and he needed to make persistent efforts.

So for a period of time after that, Qingyang has been staying in the inn, and soon half a month has passed, Qingyang almost stays at home, and spends all his time on absorbing and refining the snow muscle cream, and the matter of the Holy Son's preselection has not begun, but there are more and more monks who come to Tongqi County, and Ma Xingchen has also been visiting relatives and friends around during this time, usually only taking those old guards out of the house, and no one else needs to follow, which saves Qingyang a lot of things.

That large bottle of snow muscle cream has been used by Qingyang, eliminating impurities to absorb refining and bridging powder, the effect is still good, the cracks of Qingyang Jindan have obviously improved, and now it can even mobilize a small amount of true yuan to use, although the amount is not much, but it is a good start.

How to say it, the true qi he can mobilize is almost equivalent to the number of a late-stage Open Pulse Realm cultivator, that is to say, he can roughly exert the attack power of a late stage Open Pulse Realm monk, and if coupled with his strong defense, his comprehensive strength even surpasses that of a Qi Refining Cultivator.

Of course, this strength can't be compared with his former Jindan realm, and it is not even as good as before, but he now has a certain ability to protect himself, unlike before, when he is helpless when he encounters problems, he can only be beaten passively.

Half a month later, Ma Xingchen came with the news, saying that the Holy Son pre-selection was about to begin, so let everyone get ready, and set off with him the next day to go to the location of the Holy Son pre-selection in Tongqi County.

Early the next morning, only two guards were left to guard the inn, Ma Xingchen took the rest of the people out of the door, the pre-selected location was not in the county seat, and the group turned around in a direction after leaving the city, and after most of the day, they finally came to a deep valley.

The deep valley in front is the location of this competition, this deep valley was originally nameless and surnameless, it was the burial place of ordinary people and low-level monks in Tongcoffin County, I don't know how many bones were buried for countless years, who knew that some low-level zombies suddenly appeared in the valley later, and many people were injured unguarded.

Later, after the investigation of the masters, I learned that there was a very deep yin vein hidden in this valley, and this kind of problem would only appear after a long time, but the level of this yin vein was not high, and it could only form some low-level zombies, which was not a great threat to Tongqi County. Later, the monks of Tongcoffin County sealed this valley to prevent zombies from coming out to cause trouble, and it was occasionally used as a place for monks to practice.

This valley has rarely been opened in recent decades, and this time it was because the matter of the Holy Son preselection was too important and they couldn't find a suitable place for the competition, so the bigwigs of Copper Coffin County discussed with the people sent by Dry Mound City to overseer and decided to use this place as the Holy Son preselection.

At this time, thousands of people had gathered outside the deep valley, and there were about a hundred people in the entire Bronze Coffin County who were qualified or qualified to participate in the Holy Son preselection, and if you added their guards, there were still three or four thousand people. In addition to the people who played the game, there were very few people who watched the excitement, and only a dozen or so people who had a certain status and relationship in Tongqi County were allowed to come over to supervise the game. balance

On a small hill in the middle, there are nearly twenty foundation building monks, and one person in the middle has built seven layers of foundation, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Shangguan Yan, this is Shangguan Tong, the county lord of Tongqi County, and he is also the most powerful person in the entire Tongqi County. Next to him, a fourth-layer monk standing side by side with him with a serious expression, this was sent by Kuzuka City to oversee the pre-selection of the Holy Son, called Qingteng Sanren. The remaining dozen or so people ranged from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, and they were all people with a certain status in Tongcoffin County.

Qingyang and Ma Xingchen were almost the last, and not long after everyone stood still, they heard Shangguan Tong on the hill screaming, and the field suddenly fell silent, and then Shangguan Tong turned his head to the Qingteng Sandao: "Qingteng Daoyou, the time is almost up, let's start?" ”

Qingteng Sanren shook his head with a faint smile, and said, "I am only responsible for watching, no matter the specific things, everything is according to the will of the county lord of Shangguan." ”

Shangguan fellow cultivators are much taller than Qingteng Sanren, and the reason why they ask such a sentence is to show respect for the people above, after all, they represent Dry Mound City. Seeing that Qingteng Sanren was not ready to intervene, Shangguan Tong immediately said in a loud voice: "Everyone must know very well about the Holy Son's preselection, so I won't repeat it, just reiterate the rules of the competition here." ”

"The venue of the competition is the valley in front of you, and the task of the contestants is to kill the zombies inside, and the number of them will determine the winner. In order to ensure the safety and convenience of the candidates, each person can bring four guards to assist in completing the task, but the cultivation is limited to the Open Pulse Realm, and the competition time is three days. ”

"As for the calculation of the score, I will issue a yin charm to each candidate, and every time I kill an ironclad zombie, a black dot will be displayed on it, and when I kill a bronze zombie, a blue dot will be displayed on it, and finally the score will be calculated by the number of points. But you should also pay attention to the fact that only the zombies killed by the captain who holds the Yin Charm will be counted, and the team members will be invalid to kill, and the team members can help, don't do too much, and don't blame me if the results can't be displayed when the time comes. ”

Shangguan Tong didn't say it explicitly, but everyone heard it, it's not that the team members can't help, but there must be a limit to help, trapping or severely damaging zombies, but the last blow must be the captain who holds the Yin Identification Talisman to calculate the results. The candidates are all Qi refining cultivators, and the team members are all Open Pulse Realm cultivators, the strength of the two sides is much worse, and it is unlikely that they want to help a lot, at most, they will do some assistance, so as to limit the possibility of opportunism to the greatest extent.

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Tong paused for a while, and after everyone had digested the information, he said again: "It's not too early, give everyone a little more time, hurry up and select the team members who will follow you into the valley, and after a stick of incense, the valley mouth will be opened, and the game will officially begin." ”

After Shangguan Tong finished announcing, he asked people to light an incense stick and hold it, and then took a dozen other foundation building monks to the mouth of the valley, and waited for the incense to be burned before opening the entrance.

Ma Xingchen has already inquired about the rules of the game, but he has been hesitant about who to choose, the captain of the escort team must not be able to go, his cultivation exceeds the realm of opening the pulse, and it is not possible to select all the old players, which is clearly not at ease with the new team members, it is easy to deviate from morality, and new team members can be selected, and I don't know who is the most suitable among the dozen people to follow him into the valley for training.
