Chapter 218 The Dao Sect Competition Begins
Seeing Lu Li's aura locking onto him.
Zhang Tianshi said helplessly: "I have no ill intentions, and I have not sent anyone to keep an eye on you.
My Tianshi Mansion also has some influence in the underworld, although not as strong as Maoshan.
When Master Lu went down, he did not hide his aura as a human from the mortal world.
It will naturally be noticed.”
After hearing what Zhang Tianshi said, Lu Li realized that he had misunderstood him.
Apologize quickly.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Master Zhang, this is something that concerns me and I can't help but care about it.
After all, you also know that I have more enemies. "
Zhang Tianshi didn't care and said with a smile:
"Master Lu's strength has improved a lot, just now he locked onto me.
I was unable to move for a moment."
Lu Li just lowered his head and smiled without saying anything.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't want to answer, Zhang Tianshi didn't care and said seriously:
“If Master Lu goes to the underworld again next time, be careful.
It's very complicated there.
Although the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism is not as serious as it was a thousand years ago.
However, the power of Buddhism cannot be underestimated.
Although we all follow the same righteous path, they have little to do with us.
Moreover, many powerful old ghosts are also hiding in the underworld.
Sometimes the underworld can’t do anything about those old ghosts.”
Lu Li had heard Uncle Jiu say this once, and this time Zhang Tianshi said the same thing.
Lu Li also took this to heart.
"Thank you for telling me, Master. I will pay attention if I go there again."
After sending Zhang Tianshi to his residence, Lu Li returned to Ermao Peak.
As soon as he returned to the room, Lu Li's expression became serious.
In his opinion, the waters of the spiritual world are getting deeper and deeper. Originally, it was only about Taoism, but now even Buddhism has emerged.
As a Buddhist, Lu Li had only come into contact with Master Ikkyu, but he was a person who devoted himself to the practice of Buddhism.
I never ask about anything else.
The other is the group of lamas in the Tibetan government.
But that group of lamas and the Buddhists in the Central Plains are actually two different sects.
It seems that I should have a talk with Master Qin when I have time. This old man obviously has many things he hasn't told me yet.
It might be that his cultivation level was not high enough or he didn't want to get involved too early.
To put it bluntly, your cultivation is still not enough.
After finishing the business at the Yun Mansion, he must go into seclusion to comprehend the "Shangqing Xuanzhen Sutra".
Master Li Zu has helped me perfect myself to the Nascent Soul stage.
Once I have reached that level of enlightenment, I will be able to break through to the late Jindan stage in one fell swoop.
At that time, I would have nothing to fear in this spiritual world.
A few days flew by.
Today is the day of the Taoist competition.
The whole Maoshan was filled with joy, and the Maoshan disciples also changed into new Taoist robes.
And everyone is filled with pride.
The fact that the Taoist competition can be held in Maoshan already demonstrates Maoshan’s status in Taoism.
From the mountain gate to the nine peaks of Maoshan, Taoist flags are hung everywhere.
There are also four colorful golden dragon flags, which are planted on the venue where the competition is held.
It is said that this was an award from the imperial court during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Fuso bandits invaded various coastal areas from the sea, and Maoshan cooperated with the officers and soldiers to wipe out more than a thousand enemies.
The imperial court rewarded these four colorful golden dragon flags.
At this time, the Damao Peak martial arts arena was filled with people from all over China who came to watch this Taoist event.
Among them there were both independent cultivators and common people, and the place was bustling with activity.
Master Qin took the lead in worshipping heaven, earth and the Three Pure Ones.
He sat in the upper stands with the leaders of various sects. Since Lu Li was one of the referees, he could only wait beside the competition venue.
The referee with him was Uncle Nine who had just been released from prison.
There are ten competition venues in total, except for Shi Jian and the four elders.
There are exactly ten elders of Maoshan, and each of them is responsible for one area.
The martial arts arena was extremely noisy at this time, and Lu Li took a closer look.
The renovated martial arts arena, which can accommodate 2,000 people, was already packed.
The Maoshan disciples all sat at the lower left side of the upper stands.
At this moment, Taoist Simu and Mamadi, Zhegu were looking at them and smiling.
Even Mao Shanming, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting in the disciple seat.
Ao Tianlong and his fellow apprentice brothers, and Zhuge Kongping's family, who had a good relationship with Lu Li, were arranged by Lu Li to sit next to the Maoshan seats.
Next to them were Master Ikkyu and his apprentice, who were standing right next to Taoist Simu.
It flashed through Lu Li's mind that if someone was selling peanuts and melon seeds at this time, he could probably make a lot of money in a day.
"The Dao Sect Competition has officially begun!"
Shi Jian stood on the stage and spoke loudly while gathering all his magic power.
His eyes swept across the field like a TV line.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became solemn.
Everyone was shocked by Shi Jian's aura.
Because of his domineering aura, Qin Zhenren let him host this competition.
With Shi Jian standing on the stage with that stern face, who would dare to be rude?
“There are a total of forty sects participating in this competition, with 872 contestants.
The competition is divided into ten venues.
Finally, the top ten contestants will be selected, and the top three will receive rewards.
The third place winner will receive a purple talisman drawn by our Maoshan elder Lu Li Zhenren."
As soon as Shi Jian finished speaking, exclamations from the crowd in the stands below were heard.
Purple talisman, many casual cultivators have never seen one in their entire lives.
With the purple talisman, you will be able to avoid any powerful ghosts or zombies you encounter.
This is the life-saving artifact.
If you can't kill the opponent by throwing the talisman, you have time to escape.
Maoshan is really generous.
"quiet!"
Shi Jian shouted, and after everyone quieted down, he continued:
"You can choose the properties of the purple talisman yourself, and Elder Lu Li can draw it on the spot."
Lu Li smiled at the audience, and this smile caused many female disciples to exclaim.
“The second place in the competition is the Maoshan Magic Card, which contains a killing array that covers an area of one mile.
As long as the demons and monsters below the middle stage of foundation building are not spared."
The people below started discussing again.
This is also a powerful magic weapon.
"First place!"
Everyone listened attentively.
“The first place is a pill, the name of the pill is Ambergris Pill, it was made by Lu Li Zhenren’s junior sister Hua Ling.
This elixir can extend one's lifespan by five years and also replenish one's vital energy.
It can even help people improve their cultivation!
Those who obtain these magical powers can go back and explore them on their own.
The benefits I talk about are proven.”
After Shi Jian finished his introduction, the only people in the room who knew about this elixir were Uncle Jiu, Lu Li, and Master Qin.
The rest of the people stared at Shi Jian blankly.
After a while, a roar like the roar of the waves was heard.
"Is this true? There is such a magical elixir."
"I only have ten years left to live. Please give me this elixir!"
“I have been seriously injured and my vitality has been damaged. Please give me the elixir and I will work for you for ten years.
I was also a talented disciple of our sect back then!"
Crying, shouting, and sounds of surprise mixed together.
"Master Qin, you are so unrefined. Why didn't you inform me when you had such a good thing?"
Zhang Tianshi looked at Qin Zhenren beside him in surprise.
The leaders of other sects on the main stage also looked at Master Qin with resentment.
Master Qin cursed in his heart, this little bastard Lu Li has screwed me over.
Before the competition, the first place reward must be exchanged for elixir.
It is said that it can not only enhance the reputation of Hua Ling, but also highlight the mystery and power of Maoshan.
I was so bewildered that I actually agreed to it.
“It’s not that I didn’t inform everyone, it’s just that the ingredients for this elixir are too hard to find.
Only three pills were refined in total, and one has been taken by my disciple Lin Jiu.
There were only two left, one was kept as a reserve, and the other was put out.”
"Can you tell me what materials it is? We can all work together to figure it out.
This elixir is indeed very important."
Zhang Tianshi asked.
“The ambergris in the underworld can only be formed when the saliva of a dying dragon drips onto that grass.
You say it is rare or not. "
Master Qin said truthfully.
Everyone was silent. Going to the underworld was dangerous enough, not to mention finding that unique grass.
Just listening to it you can tell how difficult it is.
At this moment, Zhang Tianshi also knew why Lu Li went to the underworld.
But he didn't believe that there were only three pills.
