C237 Outcomes
In fact, Lin Wuhui was deceiving himself when he said this. Although in the exchange competition organized by Jiugong Sect, the champion's prize for alchemy far surpassed the prize for martial arts, but the prize for martial arts was also at the ninth level of the sky realm. This was not something that Lin Wuhui could casually say.
However, the Origin Sect in front of him was in a disadvantageous position, this was something that could not be helped.
Fortunately, even if one was unable to become the champion in this Three Sects exchange competition, they could still send out seven disciples. Even if one was unable to, they could still bid for five disciples to participate in the Jiugong Sect exchange competition.
Moreover, in the dao of alchemy, there was indeed something unique about Origin Sect. No matter how weak it was in the martial way, there was still the dao of alchemy to compete for it.
At this moment, Nie Zhen and the others had already entered the Mausoleum of Feng Ling Mountain. However, because of the Transmission Formation, they were sent to different places, but they did not know the location of each other.
The Spirit Qi of the Wind Tomb Mountain wasn't very dense, so there wouldn't be any strong Spirit Beasts here. On the contrary, it was very suitable for the growth of plants and flowers. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe the environment of the Wind Tomb Mountain Range with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
"Alright, let's begin!" Nie Zhen smiled confidently and first took out his identity plate. He first used his spirit sense to familiarize with the special spirit energy inside the plate, and then released his spirit sense to check if there were any Jade Token that had the same spirit energy as his identity plate.
This method was the most direct and fastest way to find his Jade Token. The moment Nie Zhen received his identity card, he thought of using this method to find it.
In fact, it was not hard to imagine that this time, when he was searching for his own Jade Token, he did not obtain it, but wanted to imprint it into his identity plate. This meant that his identity plate did not have any conflict with the spirit energy of his own identity plate, and using his spirit sense to feel it was the most direct way.
The people selected by the various sects to participate in this exchange were all elites from their sects. Basically, everyone had thought of this.
In fact, in every generation of exchange competitions, there would always be a competition to find Jade Token, and during the process of the competition, there were very few people who would be able to find and destroy other people's Jade Token.
However, Nie Zhen had a huge advantage in this competition. Although the Wind Tomb Mountain Range was not considered small, Nie Zhen's soul power was also incomparable to that of ordinary disciples.
Nie Zhen's soul power had already surpassed the average level 9 cultivator, so he had the advantage in this competition.
Sure enough, once Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense was released, it immediately covered a circumference of 100 miles. Within that 100 miles, not even a single flower or grass, or even a speck of dust, could escape Nie Zhen's eyes.
"Hm!" I got it! " Nie Zhen's eyes lit up. He immediately noticed that about 20 miles to the right, the same spiritual energy fluctuation as his identity plate appeared.
Nie Zhen immediately leaped and flew to the right. Sure enough, he found his Jade Token in a hidden bush in this area.
Nie Zhen smiled faintly and urged the Jade Token with his soul force. Immediately, the Jade Token's information was injected into the identity plate, Nie Zhen used his consciousness to check the information in the identity plate, and the word "one" appeared.
"Looks like my luck isn't bad. Keep up the good work!" Nie Zhen didn't expect his luck to be so good, he just found a Jade Token at the beginning.
At this moment, Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense suddenly sensed a crisis from behind him. In an instant, a gale blew towards him from behind.
Without even thinking about it, Nie Zhen stabbed the Killing Force Sword to the back before he could turn back. At the same time, he twisted his body and dodged to the left.
Boom!
A loud noise came from the back. Nie Zhen looked carefully and saw that it was a row of wooden fences that were slapping towards him, but the top of those wooden fences were all covered with sharp steel blades.
"This is probably the so-called trap …" "I didn't expect it to be so primitive …" Nie Zhen was a bit speechless when he saw this trap. It was indeed a very primitive trap, but because of this, many people would not be on guard against it.
After all, a trap like this didn't emit much spiritual energy from the body. At this moment, the competitors in the Wind Tomb Mountain Range were all focusing on the probing of the spiritual sense. Maybe one or two traps would actually work.
If not for Nie Zhen's Shura's Murderous Aura being very sensitive to its own danger, it might have been hit.
After all, the people in the mountain range were all Heavenly Realm experts. Even if they were to die, it would be very depressing for them. Perhaps, their mental state might affect their future performance.
"Looks like I have to be a bit more careful. If I really get caught in this trap, then I will lose all my face." Nie Zhen laughed at himself and then continued his search.
This time, other than searching for the fluctuation of the Jade Token, Nie Zhen also kept his guard up. Once he found the Jade Token, he would seriously search the area near it, and he really did find two traps.
Nie Zhen sneered and ran 80 miles before he found the location of the second Jade Token. Nie Zhen first destroyed the two traps before he processed the information about the Jade Token.
After successfully finding the Jade Token, Nie Zhen's confidence increased greatly, and he continued to look for the Jade Token while it was still hot.
However, even after searching everywhere, Nie Zhen still could not find the third Jade Token in this area. Nie Zhen knew that the other Jade Token were still hiding somewhere else, so he continued to head towards other areas to search.2
As for the trap traps along the way, Nie Zhen would avoid them as long as he could. If he couldn't avoid them because of the terrain and other reasons, then Nie Zhen might as well destroy them.
Just after the first day had passed, Nie Zhen had already found seven Jade Token. Knowing that the sun was setting, he temporarily stopped searching.
When night fell, Nie Zhen did not search anymore, not because night would affect his search work or he would not be able to discover the trap, but at night, especially in the depths of the mountain range, there were too many uncertain factors. After all, other than the disciples of Duobao Sect, there were also disciples of Origin Sect and Ice River Valley.
At the current stage, the Origin Sect disciples were at an absolute disadvantage. It was not bad to discover it during the day, but at night, it was easy to conceal himself, and the competitors focused all their attention on searching for the Jade Token.
Nie Zhen had already experienced the character of a member of Origin Sect for a long time, they were definitely the kind of people who would do such a thing.
Nie Zhen was not familiar with the people from Ice River Valley, but being careful wasn't wrong, not to mention, they were all competing, so it wouldn't be bad if he stayed put.
Currently, Nie Zhen had already recorded seven Jade Token's imprints, so he didn't have to worry about anything at all. As for the remaining three Jade Token, it wouldn't be too late to search for them tomorrow.
In this vast mountain range, even if Nie Zhen wanted to help his fellow sect members, he was unable to do so. Even if he found other Jade Token that did not belong to him, he could not guarantee who the Jade Token belonged to.
If he was sure that this was another sect's Jade Token, in order to affect other people's results, he could have taken away or destroyed the Jade Token. But if this was a Jade Token of the same sect, then wouldn't that mean that he had cheated his own sect?
It was also because of this restriction that, in every round of the competition, almost no one would dare to destroy another person's Jade Token.
The night passed peacefully. The ambush Nie Zhen imagined did not happen. Even the cultivators did not go through Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense.
Perhaps, at night, other cultivators would consider the same situation as Nie Zhen, so they didn't engage in a large amount of activities.
When the sun fully rose, Nie Zhen once again began to search for his Jade Token.
Nie Zhen's progress on the second day was extremely efficient. After only two hours, Nie Zhen had already found two Jade Token in a row. By now, Nie Zhen had already collected a total of nine Jade Token.
However, other than the first two, Nie Zhen didn't manage to find the tenth stone for another two hours.
Nie Zhen was not in a hurry. He knew that finding ten Jade Token would not be an easy task, so he continued to search step by step.
"Hmm? "Senior Brother Lu?" Nie Zhen did not find the Jade Token. Instead, he found Lu Dong.
Nie Zhen hurriedly rushed towards Lu Dong. When he was five miles behind Lu Dong, he shouted at Lu Dong, "Senior Brother Lu!"
"Eh? It's Junior Brother Nie. " Lu Dong was curious as to who was calling him, but when he turned around and saw it was Nie Zhen, he let his guard down.
"Junior Brother Nie, it's been a day already, I only found six Jade Token, how many have you found?" Lu Dong looked at Nie Zhen and asked.
"I've only found the eighth one." Nie Zhen still told a white lie. If Lu Dong knew that he had already found nine pills, it would probably be a huge blow.
"Sigh... Come on, you and Senior Brother Qin are our trump cards, you guys have to fight for full marks! " Lu Dong didn't doubt him and encouraged Nie Zhen.
"Right, Senior Brother Lu, let's exchange tags. If we find each other's Jade Token, and we happen to know each other's location, then we can look out for each other." Nie Zhen suggested.
Lu Dong nodded and said, "That's also good. Although the probability is not high, it's better than nothing. What if it's really such a coincidence?"
Finished speaking, the two of them checked each other's identity tokens' spiritual energy fluctuations.
Lu Dong did not expect Lu Dong to see the other party's Jade Token at the same time. However, if everyone helped each other, then they would be lucky. At any rate, it would be a good chance.
However, Lu Dong did not know that, in today's competition, Nie Zhen should be confident of finding ten Jade Token. At that time, he would use the remaining day to help his fellow sect members find clues about the Jade Token, and Nie Zhen's soul force was very strong, so it was very possible that he could find the position of his fellow sect members.
