Chapter Seventy-Nine: Preparations (I)
One more update, at least four updates today, please collect...
——————————————————————————
There is still a whole year before the Yunfu Zongmenpai Bi Dou Conference, and the time left for Yifeng to prepare is not too much.
The tournament started with a group draw, with two teams competing against each other in a knockout match. The winner advanced to the next round, and the loser was eliminated. To win the championship, one must win all the way through, without any mistakes or losses.
After each round, there will be a month's time for the contestants to recover their strength or heal their injuries, so that everyone can participate in each game in the best state.
According to Ying Chengzi, the sect had staked a great deal on this duel —
The champion can not only get a large number of spirit stones, but also get a high-grade spirit device treasure; the runner-up reward is some spirit stones and a medium-grade spirit device-level treasure; the third-place reward is lighter, with only half of the spirit stones as the runner-up, but you can choose some good-quality cultivation materials. From fourth to eighth place, there are also some spirit stone rewards.
Xingchenzi's task for his four apprentices is not too harsh, he just hopes someone can enter the top eight, and he doesn't have any expectations for his apprentices to win the championship, runner-up or third place, as long as they can make a breakthrough compared to previous years.
If they put too much pressure on their apprentices, they will inevitably go all out in the fight and may get seriously injured.
After Lu Changfeng and the others left, Yi Feng could only continue to stay in the courtyard since he didn't have a place of his own for solitary cultivation. Xing Chenzi then proceeded to lecture him again before guiding him on his Golden Core stage cultivation.
After the Master's achievement of Jindan, the spiritual power in his body completely transformed into True Yuan Power, with a cultivation base that exceeded the late stage of fusion by more than tenfold. He had officially entered the ranks of those seeking to become immortals through true refinement.
And in the Jindan period of cultivation, it is also a process of laying the foundation for breaking through to the Yuanying stage. If one is not careful, they will leave behind hidden dangers that will make it difficult to break through to the Yuanying stage later on. In mild cases, this can lead to being unable to break through to the Yuanying stage for a long time, while in severe cases, it may even result in directly failing during the fragmentation of the elixir.
Therefore, most cultivators in the Golden Elixir stage are relatively cautious and rarely engage in mortal combat with others.
In order to achieve good results in this martial arts competition, Xing Chenzi urged Yi Feng to work harder on his cultivation while also guiding him to release the Golden Elixir True Fire and refine a flying sword that belonged to Yi Feng himself.
Yi Feng has the Heaven-Slaying Sword, but its power is too great. It's easy to attract envy and may instantly kill opponents in a duel. This time, the dueling tournament participants are all fellow disciples. The conference had rules that no one can use lethal moves during the duel. Those who violate this rule will be punished by having their cultivation destroyed and being expelled from the sect, or even with their life.
To avoid any unexpected situations, Yi Feng had no choice but to give up using the Heaven-Slaying Sword in the Battle of the Peaks and instead chose the low-grade spiritual artifact, Crimson Flame.
Chi Yan is a fire-attribute flying sword, which doesn't match Yi Feng's current spiritual root of Thousand Year Geng Jin Bamboo at all. However, Xing Chen Zi helped Yi Feng select gold-attribute materials and merged them into Chi Yan with his own Yuan Ying True Fire.
A large amount of high-quality golden attribute materials were added, and the Red Flame grade was still a low-grade spiritual instrument, but it had both gold and fire attributes, which are extremely difficult to control spirituality, requiring Yifeng to spend a long time tempering with Golden Elixir True Fire to master.
To help Yi Feng master the changed spirit of Chi Yan's Flame, Xing Chenzi also passed on to Yi Feng a set of "Wind Chasing Sword Techniques". This set of sword techniques, although not considered high-level in the Cultivation Realm, is many times stronger than the "Floating Zero Sword Techniques" of the secular martial world. However, both have similarities, which is that neither seeks strong attacking power, but rather seeks mastery over the sword and a light and agile body technique.
Yi Feng was tempering the Crimson Flame with the Golden Elixir's true fire while practicing the Wind Chasing Sword Technique. His understanding of the sword path had already reached the level of Sword Heart, and his practice of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique was making rapid progress; after merging with the Sword Heart multiple times, the refinement speed of the Crimson Flame also greatly increased...
