Chapter 324: Unfortunate defeat
This is exactly the method of talisman refining that Mu Changsheng had just learned from the Ji clan's Eternal Monument Talisman Art. This method is simple to say but extremely difficult to perform. It requires the talisman master to exert all his strength to the talisman without any deviation, otherwise both talismans will fail. It can be said that one prospers and all suffer together.
This was exactly what Mu Changsheng planned. Since he could not match Qi Xian in the quality of talismans, he could only win by quantity. If he succeeded, the number of his finished products would most likely exceed Qi Xian by one. But if he failed, the number of his finished products would only be two, and he would most likely be overtaken by others.
But for Mu Changsheng, there is no difference between the second place and the tenth place. The only thing he cares about is the reward for the first place to choose the inheritance of the talisman.
As soon as Mu Changsheng started writing, Ji Yanxi, the invigilator and referee, noticed Mu Changsheng's unusual behavior and saw through his plan at a glance.
"Good boy, you have great courage to refine two Fire Spirit Talismans at one time." Ji Yanxi thought to himself. This was a cross-border talisman refining. Not to mention whether it would be successful or not, his divine power would not be enough to refine two at a time.
Just as Ji Yanxi thought, Mu Changsheng's early progress was relatively smooth, but his divine power consumption also doubled. He felt exhausted just after he had finished half of the painting.
Mu Changsheng had anticipated this, so he immediately used the secret technique of blood and qi transformation to burn his essence and blood and replenish his divine power.
Because of this, Mu Changsheng was distracted for a moment, almost causing the two fire talismans to become unbalanced, but fortunately they were stabilized.
Mu Changsheng's forehead was covered with sweat. He was getting closer and closer to completion, but the pressure was also increasing. This was not only psychological pressure, but also the mana pressure of maintaining two fire talismans at the same time.
In the end, Mu Changsheng narrowly succeeded and got two finished Fire Spirit Talismans at once!
"You really succeeded." Ji Yanxi sighed in his heart, but what made him sigh even more was that even if Mu Changsheng refined four Fire Spirit Talismans, he would most likely lose to Qi Xian.
Because from Ji Yanxi's perspective, Qi Xian also refined four finished Fire Spirit Talismans!
And in terms of speed, Qi Xian's talisman refining speed is still slightly faster than Mu Changsheng's.
At this time, Mu Changsheng, who was still unaware of the situation, sent a voice transmission to Qi Xian again and asked: "Brother Qi, I see you finished so quickly, how many finished products did you get?"
"Four, where is Brother Mu?" Qi Xian asked.
"Same." Mu Changsheng replied briefly, but his mood was complicated. He didn't expect that even if he took the risk to refine four Fire Spirit Talismans, he would only tie with Qi Xian, and Qi Xian finished faster than him, and his speed was probably even faster, not to mention the quality.
"Well, I accept defeat with a sincere heart." Mu Changsheng felt relieved. He had tried his best, but the result was still the same. He had no choice but to accept it. Besides, the one who attacked this time was only the weakest clone in black after all.
Afterwards, the other eight people also finished refining one after another. Because their success rate was not high, the time they spent was actually less.
After all ten people finished, Ji Yanxi announced the number of finished products and the fastest time of each person.
Mu Changsheng and Qi Xian once again stood out from the crowd, creating a huge gap between themselves and the other eight.
Just as Mu Changsheng expected, Qi Xian's speed was indeed faster than his.
Afterwards, the ten people tested the quality and power of their respective fire spirit talismans one after another. Qi Xian's talisman was still more powerful than Mu Changsheng's.
In this way, Qi Xian's total score was two points higher than Mu Changsheng, and he firmly ranked first.
Ji Yanxi announced rewards for the top 100 cultivators present. Mu Changsheng ranked in the top three and received 10 million high-quality spirit stones and a first-class guest identity token.
After Ji Yanxi distributed the rewards, he emphasized the benefits of the guest status: "The guest status of our clan is divided into four levels, namely third-class guest, second-class guest, first-class guest, and special-class guest. Guest can receive a certain amount of spiritual stone resources every year. Among them, third-class guest can receive 1,000 high-quality spiritual stones every year, second-class guest can receive 5,000 high-quality spiritual stones every year, first-class guest can receive 10,000 high-quality spiritual stones every year, and special-class guest can receive 500 top-quality spiritual stones every year. Moreover, the guest status can be upgraded. Generally, you have to complete tasks and obtain contribution points. When the accumulated contribution value reaches a certain amount, you can automatically complete the upgrade. If the contribution value accumulates to 100,000, you can be promoted to a second-class guest, if it accumulates to 300,000, you can be promoted to a first-class guest, and if it accumulates to 600,000, you can be promoted to a special-class guest."
"In addition, contribution points can also be used to purchase various inheritances, spiritual objects, spiritual stones, etc. within our clan, and enjoy certain preferential prices. The degree of discount will vary with the guest level. You have just become guests and have no contribution points. You can also use spiritual stones to exchange for contribution points. The exchange rate is 400 high-grade spiritual stones for one contribution point, or one top-grade spiritual stone for one contribution point. However, the contribution points exchanged with spiritual stones cannot be accumulated into the contribution points of guest upgrades."
Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. From the three words "contribution value", he could tell that it was a place similar to a sect. Although he lost the opportunity to choose a heritage at will, he could also buy it directly. He now had 10 million high-quality spirit stones, which could be exchanged for 25,000 Ji clan contribution points, which should be enough to buy a lot of good things.
Then, Ji Yanxi said: "Dear guests, please follow me to meet the clan leader and elders."
Mu Changsheng and others had gained benefits, so they had no objection and immediately followed Ji Yanxi to fly to the high platform in the center of the valley.
At this time, hundreds of cultivators had gathered on the stage. Their cultivation levels were all at the Jindan and Yuanying realms. Mu Changsheng also saw Ji Leyao. He thought that they should be the top 100 cultivators selected from the Jindan and Yuanying realms.
After a while, all the cultivators from the Spiritualization and Tribulation Realm also came to the platform. Among them, there were only a few dozen people in the Tribulation Realm. This was no wonder, because there were not many cultivators in the Tribulation Realm, and even fewer Talisman Masters in the Tribulation Realm. There was almost no need for selection, and each one of them was considered a hot commodity.
After all the cultivators selected for the Talisman Conference arrived, Ji clan leader Ji Tianyu and the ten elders of the Ji clan came on stage to give a speech to everyone.
But at the same time, outside the Ji clan's mountain gate, a barefoot, white-haired, unkempt man in a black robe was walking leisurely.
The two cultivators of the Ji clan who were guarding the mountain gate were both at the stage of tribulation-crossing, but both were surprised to find that they could not tell the depth of a person's cultivation.
The two Ji clan members did not dare to neglect the conversation. One of them stepped forward respectfully and asked, "I wonder why you are here, senior?"
"Murder." The white-haired man replied indifferently.
Come to the Ji clan to kill people! This made the two people from the Ji clan stunned for a moment, and their brains were unable to wrap around.
However, the white-haired man did not intend to explain too much because he had already taken action.
The white-haired man just snapped his fingers, and two streams of force instantly pierced through the eyebrows of the two people from the Ji clan.
The two people from the Ji clan had no time to react and died on the spot!
The white-haired man had a blank expression on his face. He looked up at the plaque at the Ji clan’s mountain gate that was inscribed with the words “Right to Do” by the Great Emperor Tiansheng.
"An old-fashioned excuse." The white-haired man muttered to himself in annoyance, and also flicked a finger towards the plaque.
However, at this time, the spirit of the Ji clan's protective formation was the first to react, and quickly concentrated the power of the formation to resist the attack of the white-haired man and protect the plaque.
But what shocked the formation spirit was that not only did his formation defense fail to block the attack, it also brought disaster to itself. The terrifying power spread rapidly on the formation, the Ji clan's protective formation was shattered, and the formation spirit died directly. He didn't even have time to warn the Ji clan's top leaders!
