Chapter 342 The Martial Arts Tournament Begins
Two days later.
On a cool early summer night, the breeze was refreshing. With the window open, you could see the moon and stars in the night sky.
inside the house.
Yun Ci was sitting cross-legged on the bed counting spirit stones.
The bed and the floor were piled high with gleaming white spirit stones.
Several little ones were running around in the room.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand."
Yun Ci put the counted spirit stones into the spirit stone bag next to her and continued counting another pile.
"one two three......"
Big Brown, Second Brown, Little Red, and several small puppets were also counting spirit stones nearby.
After counting, the number one puppet stood up, walked to Yun Ci's side, and poked Yun Ci.
His expression was blank and silly.
Yun Ci looked up.
"Finished counting? Great, thanks for your hard work, you need to count this pile too."
After a moment's reaction, the little puppet took the spirit stones back and continued counting them.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Ci stretched and said, "Finally finished counting."
With the 5,000 yuan and 312 spirit stones he earned today, he now has 720,000 spirit stones, and he will soon have saved up one million!
We've been selling snail rice noodles for five days now, it's time to change things up.
Watching the little ones running and playing, Yun Ci blinked and asked, "What do you want to eat tomorrow?"
The little ginseng ran over and said, "Baby wants to eat French fries."
Yun Ci asked in surprise, "You finished the fries?"
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Bai jumped into Yun Ci's arms.
"Chirp." Chicken leg.
"Wow." A platter of vegetables and fruits.
The timid mushroom is a durian lover who enjoys eating everything.
Yun Ci nodded, "Okay! Then I'll make fried chicken and fries tomorrow!"
"Yay, Daddy, baby loves you!"
"Chewmi."
"Ow!"
"Alright, time for bed. I have important things to do tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
"Are you all in bed yet?"
"Baby's in bed, Daddy."
"Chewmi."
"Ow."
"Ah."
"Tch." Taotie snorted coldly and silently covered himself with the blanket.
After a few "goodnights," the room fell silent.
The kerosene lamp beside the bed flickered with a small light, illuminating the small beds next to it.
......
"Master."
Yun Ci realized she had been picked up and let out a groggy cry.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing sat by the bed, took Yun Ci's outer robe, and upon hearing Yun Ci call him "Master," softly hummed in response.
"The martial arts tournament is about to begin. Get up, okay?"
Yun Ci rested her head on the man's shoulder.
A look of doting affection flashed across the cold and peerless face of the Immortal Venerable Jiqing.
Today marks the official start of the martial arts tournament.
Early in the morning, all the disciples of the sects were ready to go.
Each young man held a spirit sword, full of vigor and high spirits.
Yun Ci, also dressed in the robes of a direct disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, stood beside Immortal Venerable Jiqing and several senior brothers.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing stood there with an indifferent expression, like a banished immortal from the heavens.
Cold and aloof yet powerful.
The man lowered his eyes slightly and saw the little disciple with the fluffy head standing next to him. His expression softened, and he was no longer as lonely and indifferent as before.
The disciples from other sects were already filled with amazement when they saw the group from the Xuanyuan Sect.
From the master to the disciple, their appearances were so stunning that it left people speechless.
This is an indescribable appearance, one that makes one feel ashamed of their own looks!
It is unlike anything found in the mortal world.
Countless eyes were focused on this place.
As the white-haired, white-bearded elder spoke, the various sects entered in turn.
The mountains enclose the open space in the middle, creating an airtight, isolated world.
Countless seats, ranging from high to low, surround several arenas in the center.
Each sect proceeded to its designated location in turn.
"Look, those are disciples of the Demon Slayer Sect! It is said that every one of their disciples has mastered the Demon Slayer Technique."
The person next to him nodded and said, "I once went to Dragon Ridge Mountain for training and happened to witness the Demon Slayer Sect fighting with demons. In the blink of an eye, those demons vanished into thin air."
"so smart!"
"Look! That's Xie An from the Xuantian Sect! I heard he started cultivating Qi at seven and established his foundation at thirteen."
"Heavens! I'm 120 years old this year, and I'm only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. I'm still a genius in our sect. How can this compare to the geniuses of those major sects..."
"I just hope we don't run into each other during the competition."
"Xu Fuge and He Lin beside him should not be underestimated either..."
"The people from the Xuanyuan Sect have arrived!"
"Ahhh, it's Immortal Venerable Jiqing..."
"My God, she is as serene and aloof as the moon; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a celestial being."
Countless disciples on the viewing platform instantly became excited.
"The sect leader of Xuanyuan Sect is so young. It is said that their sect leader became the sect leader at the age of 120."
"Why is our sect leader so old?"
"Shh, don't say anything, the sect leader is watching you."
"How come Immortal Venerable Jiqing and his disciples are all so good-looking? My god..."
"Yeah yeah."
A disciple of the Demon Slayer Sect gripped his spirit sword tightly and murmured...
"Si Qingxuan, born with a sword-like spirit, is truly a chosen one of heaven, unmatched by anyone."
"That's the third young master of the Dragon Clan, possessing ancient bloodline, a true dragon..."
"Be extremely careful when facing Su Mo!"
"Is that Chu Ziming? I've heard he's exceptionally talented in weapon crafting..."
"As expected of a top-tier sect, even their inner disciples are far more powerful than the direct disciples of some other sects."
Amidst a chorus of exclamations, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect suddenly spoke up.
"I wonder if Yun Ci will still be selling snail rice noodles today."
The people around them were speechless.
Believe it or not, they wanted to ask too.
How can there be such a delicious food as snail rice noodles?!
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell from the surrounding crowd.
Yun Ci followed Sect Leader Cang Xuan to the seating area of the Xuanyuan Sect.
The sect leader, elders, and fellow disciples sat in the first row.
The direct disciples sat in the second row, and the inner disciples sat in order behind them.
The seats are all woven from the celestial silkworm spirit silk of Fairy Dream Island.
It is impervious to rain and fire.
It's like a small sofa, soft and comfortable to sit on.
"Junior brother, where do you want to sit?" Gu Yan asked.
Yun Ci looked around and pointed to the rightmost seat closest to the aisle. "This one."
He'll be going out to sell food, so it'll be more convenient for him to sit on the side.
"Okay, I'll sit here."
As Gu Yan spoke, he excitedly headed to the seat next to Yun Ci.
He wanted to stand next to his junior brother.
Just then, a figure walked over.
Gu Yan looked up and met Chu Ziming's gaze, neither of them giving way.
Si Qingxuan walked over and sat down in his seat with a blank expression.
Chu Zimo, "..."
Gu Yan, “…”
......
People from other sects were still entering in turn.
There are countless sects, large and small, throughout the world, and the process of entering the arena will continue for a very, very long time.
Yun Ci thought for a moment and took out the Nine Heavens Travel Book.
"Where to go."
Si Qingxuan saw Yun Ci take out the Nine Heavens Travel Book and said in a rather cold voice.
Yun Ci said softly,
"I'm going to make some fried chicken and fries before the martial arts tournament starts. I'll be right back."
“Together.” Si Qingxuan looked at Yun Ci.
"Okay, let's go."
Yun Ci nodded, glanced at the senior uncles in the front row, and quietly disappeared with Si Qingxuan.
