Zuo Mo's gaze was fixed firmly on the jade slip, never once wavering.
"Yu Jian's Initial Understanding", ranked 56th in the prize evaluation, among the second-grade treasure rankings. The introduction to this jade slip is also simple: A beginner's jade slip about initial-stage symbol arrays, suitable for those who have just entered the sect.
However, what caught Mo's attention were the two small words that indicated the origin of this jade slip - "Kunlun"!
He suddenly became excited!
Kunlun! This jade slip actually comes from Kunlun!
These two words, like magic, made Luo Mo's heart beat violently. To know that the land under his feet, the Tianyue realm he was in, and even the Zhongjie where those Jindan masters were investigating last time, all belonged to one name: Kunlun!
In the eyes of any sword cultivator, Kunlun is a supreme existence, symbolizing power, dominance, absolute strength, and the strongest sword cultivator. It is the true master of the Kunlun realm and also the leader of the cultivation world.
There are not many legends about Kunlun. For the vast majority of practitioners, Kunlun is beyond reach and too mysterious.
To be honest, when Zuo Mo first saw these two words, he was stunned for a moment. For an ordinary disciple of a small sect in the Tianyue world, these two words were simply too distant and unfamiliar. But very soon, once he reacted, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The larger the sect, the more importance is attached to the transmission of newly admitted disciples. They will specially compile some jade slips for the study of new disciples, which are called introductory jade slips. The scope of the introductory jade slips is often very broad, all of which are basic methods and techniques.
Because the entry-level jade slip requires a special person to refine it, the quantity is limited every year and there will not be too many leftovers, so very few are passed down.
The introductory jade slips of each school and sect are different, and they will be compiled according to the characteristics of their own school. Even if it is the same school, the introductory jade slips will often have different versions due to the difference in the cultivators responsible for compiling them each year.
Of course, for a small school like Wu Kong Jian Men, there is no need for an entrance jade slip. Large schools have many new disciples every year, and they have the demand, manpower and financial resources to do so. Small schools mostly rely on oral transmission from seniors, one-on-one cultivation.
Kunlun's Fu Zhen entry jade slip is something that Zuo Mo wouldn't even dare think about.
However, although it is from Kunlun, after all, it is only a beginner jade slip, so among all the prizes, it can only rank 56th. Most of the participants in the sword trial meeting are cultivators in the condensation period, and the beginner jade slip has little effect on them, let alone the beginner jade slip in the symbol array aspect. If it were a sword mantra type beginner jade slip, I'm afraid there would be many more people who envy it.
Kunlun's Sword Formula...
But this jade slip has an irresistible temptation for Zuo Mo.
Wu Kongjianmen didn't have a systematic method of array classes, all he learned were pieced together haphazardly, which often made him feel extremely struggling. If only he had such a jade slip, it would surely allow him to avoid many detours.
He didn't even think about it and made up his mind to find a way to get this jade slip!
But as he gradually calmed down, he couldn't help but carefully consider the possibilities. This jade slip was not very attractive among all the prizes in this trial. There shouldn't be many people on the list of participants who would be interested in this jade slip. However, no matter what, if one wanted to have a chance to choose their prize, they must first pass the first two rounds.
Just thinking of the dense list of cultivators in the Condensation Period made Luo Mo's scalp feel numb. But seeing this jade slip and missing it himself, he was unwilling to give up, extremely unwilling!
He thought for half a day, then took a deep breath and said, "Whatever, I'll just go all out first!"
This entry-level jade slip completely changed Zuo Mo's attitude towards the upcoming Sword Test Conference, he felt it was necessary to make some preparations.
More and more cultivators are gathering at Dongfu, the trial by sword has already ended yesterday, and in five days, this session of the Dongfu Sword Trial will be truly **. Dongfu has not become chaotic due to the influx of cultivators, with over a dozen Golden Dan period masters presiding, making this place the safest area in the entire Tianyue realm.
"Would you like one? The freshly baked matchup list for this trial sword meeting is here, with the list in hand, watching the game is no problem!"
"Exclusive dedication, this session of the trial sword conference detailed information of each contestant, countless heavyweight masters comprehensive evaluation strength ranking, exclusive! Absolutely exclusive! It will be your most reliable partner for betting!"
……
As he walked onto the arena's platform, Luo Mo heard the calling out of prices and suddenly became a bit interested. The competition schedule wasn't anything special, it had just been announced two days ago, but this ranking list was somewhat interesting. Before he could take two steps, he again heard the calling out of prices, still the strength ranking list, but it was another version. In just a few short steps, Luo Mo had already heard four or five versions of the ranking lists, and the price was surprisingly uniform, one copy for three pieces of third-rate crystal stones.
It wasn't until later that he suddenly realized that all the big gambling dens in Dongfu were open, and not only gamblers but also ordinary residents would bet a few rounds for fun. With demand comes supply.
Zuo Mo decided to thoroughly research his opponent and bought a copy of each version.
He took a closer look and indeed this ranking list still had some value.
Ranked first, it is Gu Yongping, the only undefeated player so far. In almost all versions of the rankings, Gu Yongping ranks first, and can be said to be the most popular. From second place onwards, each version starts to become chaotic, but among the top ten, there are still a few people who appear with a relatively high frequency.
However, what surprised Zuo Mo was that among the top ten, there were hardly any local players. Only Yu Bai appeared in several versions, and the reason given was also very uniform: Tian Songzi's disciple, absolute home court advantage!
How can he not be furious!
What kind of rubbish people compiled these rankings? Master Brother was actually ranked around 20-30! In his heart, Master Brother may not necessarily be the first, but he must be among the top ten!
Suddenly, he thought of himself, hmm, what ranking would he be in?
Eyes scanned down the list, no, still no, still no...
When his gaze fell on the last name on the list, he suddenly saw his own name, with the reason given: The only one in the foundation period of this trial sword conference. Zuo Mo was stunned at first, and then furious! He immediately swept to another list, his name was still at the bottom, and the reason given was exactly the same.
No way, Luo Li Shixiong is also in the foundation building period, why did he say that he is the only one in the foundation building period? Zuo Mo felt extremely unbalanced and indignant in his heart. He quickly found Luo Li Shixiong's name on the ranking list.
Diastole!
Zuo Mo was stunned on the spot!
When did Luo Li Shixiong reach the Condensation Period? What a load of nonsense rankings, a bunch of rubbish!
Zuo Mo decided to ignore these lists, he went out today with a clear goal in mind.
Free market, paid gold one saw Zuo Mo, first stunned, then extremely enthusiastic to come up: "Brother Mo, how do you have time to come over? Aren't you going to participate in the Sword Testing Conference?" But those triangular eyes couldn't hide the smile.
Zuo Mo took one look at Fu Jin's appearance and immediately became angry, his tone unpleasant as he said: "What, you have an opinion?"
"No way!" Fu Jin waved his hands repeatedly, speaking in a flattering tone: "Brother Mo, with this move of yours, even Gu Yongping is no match for you. You want to break which leg of his, he wouldn't dare break the other one..."
"Alright, alright!" Fu Jin's words made everyone feel a bit embarrassed. Gu Yongping, he was more than enough to collect ten times the amount. He stretched out his hand: "Is everything ready?"
With a smile, he took out a jade slip from his bosom and handed it to Zuo Mo: "Ever since you defeated my opponent, I've been searching for this! This contains all the records of Zong An's past matches, as well as some information collected from other channels."
Zuo Mo was moved in his heart, knowing that this small piece of jade had cost Fei Jin a great deal of effort. Chong An was Zuo Mo's upcoming opponent, and last time he had asked Fei Jin to help him gather all the information about his opponent. Although Li Ying Feng shifu was diligent, she usually only managed the shop, and her channels in this aspect were far inferior to those of Fei Jin, a local snakehead.
Zuo Mo gave Pu Lian a bag of gold.
As soon as he received the gold, he knew how many crystals were in the bag. However, he didn't show any excitement and instead stared at Zuo Mo with a lukewarm expression, asking: "What does this mean?"
Zuo Mo shook his head: "It's not for you, it's for you to use as a reference. I'm still counting on you to help me prepare the materials for the next round of opponents!"
The golden face turned from cloudy to sunny, and he smiled: "This is great, I've invested a lot in you, don't let me lose my capital!"
"Well, then you'd better pray for me to win!" Zuo Mo said with a wave of his hand.
The opponent was a cultivator of the Condensing Pulse stage, and there was a huge gap in strength between them. Even Zuo Mo himself didn't have much confidence. He just wanted to give it a try, he really couldn't resist the temptation of that Kunlun symbol array entrance jade slip. As the participant with the lowest cultivation level in this trial by combat, it was only natural that he wasn't favored to win, which was also why his match was arranged as the first one.
The first game, if we lose, it will be a big loss! When I get back, I'll definitely have no good fruit to eat!
Zuo Mo had already cursed the person who arranged the competition schedule countless times in his heart.
Wu Kong Hall
Yan Le's expression was somewhat strange: "Xiao Mo is actually scheduled for the first match."
"Alright, alright, let's just drop it. Little Mo was too harsh on Lingying last time, after all."
Shi Feng Rong was furious: "What a load of nonsense! How dare you try to frame my disciple, are you tired of living?! Auntie's newly refined Thousand Flower Hundred Poison Fog has no place to test its might..."
The other three people were suddenly overwhelmed and hastily pulled back Shi Feng Rong, who was almost about to make a scene, and comforted her before she calmed down.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Little Mo is very cunning and won't suffer any great losses." Pei Yuanyan comforted: "Moreover, let him go out and broaden his horizons, it will be beneficial for him in the future. As for face, we old guys don't care about that."
Yan Le chuckled on one side, Shi Fengrong sat on the chair with a huff, and Xin Yan's eyes flashed with cold light.
"I didn't expect Luo Li to reach the Condensed Pulse stage so quickly. It seems that his battle with Xiao Mo last time was very beneficial for him." Yan Le said.
"Lu's innate talent is not bad, it's just that his previous mental state made it difficult for him to progress. This time, he has undergone a transformation and our sect has gained another great general." Pei Yu Ran nodded, the joy in his tone clear as day.
Shi Fengrong glanced around and suddenly frowned: "Where's Wei Sheng?"
