Chapter 345 Sect Competition 6
The sect competition is progressing in full swing, and Cheng Jiu is extremely busy.
He was just an ordinary disciple who died from demonic possession, so Cheng Jiu could easily investigate his identity.
I spent a seventh-grade pill to get a lot of information about that disciple from the senior sister in the Law Enforcement Hall.
It can be said to be extremely detailed, from birth to the present, cultivation breakthroughs, hobbies, and even which fairy he had a crush on.
This disciple is named Chu Yuan, a native of Chu Family Village in Fengshui City. He is 372 years old, in the Nascent Soul stage, and possesses three spiritual roots: fire, wood, and water. His fire and water roots are both valued at 70, while his wood root is only 10.
He had a conflict between water and fire, making his spiritual root useless, but he also had a wood spiritual root with a root value of ten, so he was eventually accepted into the sect.
Limited by his wood spiritual root, his cultivation was always slow, but once he reached the Golden Core stage, his cultivation progressed extremely quickly. He was a disciple who achieved great things late in life.
Due to the conflict of spiritual roots, he often needs to take the fourth-grade Baihui Pill for conditioning, and the rations for inner disciples are far from enough to support his cultivation.
Chu Yuan's interpersonal relationships are very simple. Apart from the alchemists he frequently contacts, he only has so-called business partners.
He not only runs a betting point at the sect competition, but also writes storybooks and helps gather information, making him quite prolific in his side jobs!
He had a crush on Fairy Qiao Qi, and a disciple once saw him offering her resources, only to be rejected.
A month before his death, he went to Xiaocong Mountain to collect Osmanthus Dew Fragrance, and returned to the sect half a month later.
He kept a low profile. According to the disciple who traded storybooks with Chu Yuan, a month ago, Chu Yuan ordered a large batch of storybooks from him and agreed to trade them in half a month, but there has been no further contact since.
Cheng Jiu quickly scanned the summary of the information above; it was too rudimentary!
Chu Yuan's parents were not highly skilled in cultivation and died many years ago. Chu Yuan even resigned from his sect to go home and hold his parents' funeral.
Chu Yuan's parents only had one son, Chu Yuan! Although they were from the same clan and were related by blood, their relationship had become very distant over the past three hundred years!
Chu Yuan never returned to Chu Family Village!
They are busy acquiring cultivation resources every day and don't even have a single person they can call a friend.
As for Fairy Qiaoqi, according to the information, this pursuit happened a hundred years ago, and no one has seen the two interact since then.
If he were to approach Fairy Qiaoqi for Chu Yuan's sake, it would be extremely impolite to Fairy Qiaoqi.
Cheng Jiu sighed, feeling utterly useless for the moment!
But Cheng Jiu's burning anger needed an outlet. Since she couldn't make amends, she would avenge him!
Cheng Jiu volunteered to join the team to clean up the demons, which was naturally welcomed by the Enforcement Hall!
Cheng Jiu is an alchemist, and a particularly talented one at that. He is an expert at concocting demon-attracting powders!
She's also a sword cultivator! A sword cultivator with considerable strength!
He's practically the chosen one to cleanse demons and monsters!
They naturally welcomed Cheng Jiu's willingness to help with open arms!
Cheng Jiu lived up to expectations, not only single-handedly taking on the amount of demon-attracting powder used by the Enforcement Hall these past few days, but also developing a compass that could automatically locate demons.
Their attitude was even more proactive than that of the senior brothers and sisters in the Enforcement Hall!
After presiding over the competition each day, he would take his compass and search the entire sect!
I can catch at least two or three every day!
The movements were swift, fast, accurate, and ruthless!
It is almost impossible for ghosts to possess demons and harm people so they can escape.
His efficiency far surpasses that of all the disciples and senior sisters in the Law Enforcement Hall!
When the first one appeared, even though the corpse of the demon that had been taken away was clearly gone.
Cheng Jiu's heart was already at peace; she no longer felt guilty or blamed herself.
Bottles filled with purple liquid were displayed in a dazzling array on the shelf, all of which were her haul from the past few days!
There are twenty or thirty of them!
Senior Sister Yingyue exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Sister Xiao Jiu, you're so diligent!"
There are other shelves next to the existing ones, but they don't have as many bottles as Cheng Jiu's. There are at most six or seven, and sometimes only one or two. There are a couple hundred bottles in the whole room.
Almost all the demons and ghosts within the sect are here.
After all, it was said before that the number of demonic spirits brought by the demon race wouldn't be too many!
In the past, the speed would not have been this fast, but who told us to mess with Cheng Jiu?
With the blessing of the compass, plus the medicine powder that lures ghosts and demons!
The speed at which they cleared out the demons this time was frightening!
At least other sects haven't announced any plans to eliminate the Ghost Demon!
There isn't one in Medicine King Valley!
The compass was designated by the Enforcement Hall as an essential item for its disciples to carry during patrols.
Even if there are any remaining survivors, they probably won't be able to hide for long under such tight surveillance!
Yingyue came here this time to watch the funeral of these ghost-possessed demons!
The sect leader will preside over this!
The bright red flames burned fiercely in front of the sect's main hall, and bottles containing demonic spirits were thrown into the flames one after another!
All that could be heard was a piercing wail!
The purple hue in the bottle dissipated, leaving only the jade bottle for later use!
This flame is no ordinary flame; it's heavenly fire!
This is a special attack against such foreign entities! It can even follow the marks engraved inside the demon's body to burn down the person behind it!
High-ranking demons can indeed control ghost demons without difficulty, but as a means for them to invade the cultivation world, each ghost demon will be marked!
Perhaps they are also wary of such greedy and unscrupulous creatures as ghost-possessed demons!
Seeing that Cheng Jiu was in a much better mood, Yingyue was also happy.
"Speaking of which, are the Foundation Establishment stage spots about to be decided?" Yingyue asked curiously, linking arms with Cheng Jiu as they walked towards Medicine Peak.
"Yes!" Cheng Jiu nodded: "After several days of competition, these Foundation Establishment disciples are exhausted! Senior Sister Chang Yue announced a two-day break, and the official finals are tomorrow!"
"The Foundation Establishment stage competition is really fast. I remember Junior Sister Xiao Jiu, you also had a junior sister who participated in this competition. How did she do?" Yingyue asked.
Because of Cheng Jiu, and because of the outstanding strength she showed in the competition.
Yuan Ning was a well-known figure among the Foundation Establishment disciples, and the news even reached Senior Sister Ying Yue's ears!
Cheng Jiu smiled, his eyes filled with pride and tenderness: "This little girl has done us proud to make it to the finals!"
The little girl's performance on the ring was more composed than Cheng Jiu had expected, as if she was born to stand on the ring!
Her performance was only outstanding among the many Foundation Establishment stage geniuses, but definitely not dazzling!
But she knows very well how to use her strengths to defeat her opponents!
Daring and relentless, ruthless to enemies and even more ruthless to himself, he nearly suffered defeat several times! But with his indomitable spirit, he defeated all his formidable adversaries.
He also earned his own name, "Mad Dog," among the Foundation Establishment disciples!
His fighting style is too crazy. When he fights against disciples of similar or weaker strength, he can still show some of the demeanor of a genius disciple!
When facing a strong opponent, the fighting style is simply to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own!
Cheng Jiu had no objection to her fighting style; in fact, he quite admired it!
To establish oneself in the cultivation world, one cannot be a delicate flower in a greenhouse! Especially with extremely precious cultivation resources like those in the Star Domain, how can one easily obtain them without fighting and striving!
As long as the foundation isn't damaged, Cheng Jiu has enough healing pills here!
For injuries like the ones she sustained in the arena, a single Rank 7 pill would completely heal her!
Besides catching ghosts and demons, Cheng Jiu has also been acting as a medic, examining his junior sister's body and giving her medicine during this time!
"So? Are you confident about getting a spot in the end?" Yingyue asked with a smile when she saw the smile on Cheng Jiu's face.
Cheng Jiu fell silent: "It's good for the young girl to broaden her horizons!"
There were far too many talented disciples this year, far more than the information given by Senior Brother Qian. Yuan Ning's ability to reach the finals was already beyond her expectations.
"Only two disciples from Medicine Peak made it to the finals this time!" Yingyue agreed wholeheartedly. "I heard that several sword cultivator geniuses emerged in this Foundation Establishment stage competition, and Junior Sister He Xuan was eliminated because she ran into one of them!"
"Senior sister is talking about Helian Gu, right?"
Junior sister He Xuan is quite strong; she performed exceptionally well in the preliminary rounds!
They were clearly the favorites, but unfortunately they ran into Helian Gu in the second match!
It was truly a case of a sword cultivator defeating an alchemist for free, giving He Xuan no chance to react at all. That guy's sword intent was extremely domineering, and he sent He Xuan down in the blink of an eye!
"What is Helian Gu's background?" Yingyue nodded, very interested in the guy who eliminated her junior sister!
"The grand-disciple of the Sword Peak Master, and a personally taught disciple of Immortal Lord Yunfeng!"
Helian Gu's swordsmanship was simply too beautiful. Cheng Jiu had never seen such domineering and beautiful swordsmanship before. If she were also in the Foundation Establishment stage, she would definitely want to fight this guy.
So it's understandable to be curious about the lineage of this disciple who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It can only be said that Senior Brother Yuan Qian is too comprehensive. Even with enough spirit stones, he still managed to find out.
"Speaking of which, Meng Chenyu from our peak is also my senior brother's disciple. If these two were to meet in the arena, what would their score be?"
"Two-eighths!" Cheng Jiu said without hesitation!
"There's still a 20% chance?"
"No! With just two sword strikes, your nephew will be shattered into eight pieces!"
"???"
After realizing what Cheng Jiu was saying, Yingyue's eyes widened: "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Yingyue was confident in her junior apprentice's abilities!
"That guy's moves are incredibly domineering! He's a veteran swordsman! I'm afraid your nephew won't even have time to take out his alchemy furnace before his sword is already in front of him!"
That's how Junior Sister He Xuan lost! At least Junior Sister He Xuan still had the power to put up a fight. I also watched your nephew's match! His poison skills are impressive; he's a true alchemist!
If you could release poison instantly like Senior Brother Bai of Medicine King Valley, victory might not be so far-fetched! Unfortunately, your cultivation is still insufficient!
