18th Generation Son-in-law - C198
To any Cultivator, the agreement of Mount Li was the best way to prove oneself.
Generally speaking, the first half of a Skills Competition’s journey is to test the individual abilities of the Cultivator. From the four aspects of spirit energy, physical fitness, soul strength and synthesis, only those who passed the second stage of the examination.
After that, there would be a full-fledged battle between individuals. Only the person standing at the end would be able to become the final champion.
The rules weren’t that complicated, but there were still large changes when it came to true implementation of the Mount Li, so the Mount Li Agreement was a grand event that happened once every two years. Crucially, the winner of every Mount Li Agreement was not allowed to continue participating in the tournament, unless they had advanced from the Pond Fish Stage to the Stream Stage.
Other than each sect assigning a few spots, the remaining thirty-five spots needed to be chosen from the unspecialized, and the unspecialized character assessment’s rules were even simpler. Standing on the stage to accept everyone’s challenge, there would be a point to both victory and defeat, and in the end, the highest thirty-five spots would all enter the stage of the Mount Li competition.
Listening to Taoist Xu Hua talk about these rules, just listening to it made Yao Yuan feel like his head was spinning. Yao Yuan looked at his master dejectedly and said, “Then forget it, I won’t think about entering unspecialized characters anymore.”
The rules of the entire Skills Competition sounded more like it was a traditional talent show. Other than the last round where the participants fought, there was really not much of a difference.
Yao Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Taoist Xu Hua and said, “Is the regulation of the Mount Li agreement a modern man? Why does it feel like it’s a variety show?”
Hearing the words of his disciple, Taoist Xu Hua, who was in a good mood a moment ago immediately turned hostile, looked at Yao Yuan and said: “Who allowed you to spout nonsense! It’s time to fight! ”
“The Mount Li Auction has a history of almost five hundred years already. Once every two years, other than a few times when the Great War of Good and Devil stopped, there were always more than two hundred times. How could it be like what you said?”
Yao Yuan laughed slyly. Looking at the serious expression on his master’s face, he knew that this Mount Li agreement was a huge matter for the entire Cultivation Realm.
Thinking about it, Yao Yuan kept back the teasing words he was about to say, looked at Taoist Xu Hua and said: It’s been so many years, how come there’s still a share of the Mausoleum of Books?
Pond Fish plus Stream, there would be two groups, and each time, the competition would have a two percent share. If things continued this way, after fifty attempts of agreement with the Mount Li, the entire Mausoleum of Books would completely disappear.
“Why do you have so many questions?”
Taoist Xu Hua was a little agitated from the question. He only looked at Yao Yuan’s thirsty eyes and did not say anything more. He sighed and said: “Only sixty percent of the Carving Mausoleum Mine will be given out as a reward and every time after twenty years, we will take it back. There is no problem with what you said.”
Yao Yuan seemed to understand and nodded. When he wanted to ask more, the Taoist Xu Hua quickly stopped him and said to Yao Yuan: “If you really have anything to say, then go back and prepare. If there really is a chance, then you can go and give it a try.”
Yao Yuan clearly knew that he was getting a little annoyed. Since he already knew what he wanted to know, there was no need to bother his master anymore. Hence, he quickly got up and said: “Okay, thank you master.”
With that, Yao Yuan turned and left.
Taoist Xu Hua watched Yao Yuan’s leaving figure, and his face suddenly revealed the smile of an old father.
The Skills Competition had a registration point in Qing Jiang, but if it wasn’t for the people from Cultivation Realm being unable to sense the existence of that place, Yao Yuan only found out about it from the Taoist Xu Hua.
“Health Food Paradise.”
This was what a normal person would see. As long as one covered their eyes with spiritual energy, they would see something else.
“Skills Competition registration office.”
Because the disciples of the sects all had their own channels, basically, this kind of registration place was left to the unspecialized Cultivator s.
Within the Cultivation Realm, unspecialized characters still occupied a large part.
When Yao Yuan went back, he saw quite a few people standing in line when he passed by. Most people looked like they were only queuing up for health care products, and all of them had a disdainful expression on their faces.
Yao Yuan did not return to his own house. Seven Monsters of Southern Ling, oh no, now that he thought about it, they were probably eyeing his house covetously, even Miao Ling did not dare go back to her house for a while.
Seeing that Yao Yuan had returned, Miao Ling hurriedly went forward and punched him on the back. She said furiously, “Where have you been?
The time she had spent searching for her master and Taoist Xu Hua wasn’t very long, it was to the extent of returning on the same day. But at this critical moment, Miao Ling was still very worried for Yao Yuan’s safety.
“Don’t worry, I just suddenly have something that I need to find someone. I will definitely take good care of my own safety, don’t worry.”
Yao Yuan suddenly thought of something, and his eyes immediately filled with a strange feeling.
Miao Ling was shocked by Yao Yuan’s gaze. Trembling, she covered her clothes and asked. “What are you trying to do?”
“Do me a favor.”
“No, unless you say so now.”
“You said that you’re going to be my follower, but now you don’t want to?”
Yao Yuan looked at Miao Ling with disdain.
“Alright, alright, hurry up and tell me what it is. I’ll think about it. From your appearance, I knew that it’s unlikely to be a good thing.”
Yao Yuan chuckled, and then told his everything he had just heard from the Taoist Xu Hua.
After saying that, even Yao Yuan felt his mouth going dry, but when he saw Miao Ling’s expression, he could not help but smile.
“Why do you have such an expression?”
Miao Ling looked at Yao Yuan with disdain and said: “Tell me honestly, what do you think?”
The current Miao Ling’s attitude towards Yao Yuan was simply becoming more and more “nasty”.
“Help me deal with Chen Si, I can’t enter this competition right now, I know you have Ten Miles Temple, but Ten Miles Temple is too small a number after all, so entering with the identity of an unspecialized is fine, how about it?”
Yao Yuan felt that his suggestion was a bit too difficult, but in the current situation, it was already the best choice.
“Should I do this now?”
After Miao Ling finished speaking, Yao Yuan already knew her attitude, and immediately said while smiling: “I will take responsibility for the rest, you just need to adjust yourself properly.”
At this time, the only person Yao Yuan could count on was Miao Ling.
“I hope everything is fine.”
