C243 Initial Lineup
Zhuo Bufan and the other two heads looked at each other, but they could feel from each other's eyes that they were very much in favor of this tactic from Nie Zhen. In a situation where there was no way to use a formation to fight back and no way to directly break through the formation, this was already the best idea they could come up with.
As he was speaking, Nie Zhen had already taken out two porcelain bottles from the Storage Ring. From each bottle, he constantly took out pills he refined and distributed them among his peers.
"The red pill is the Rejuvenation Pill, and the golden pill is the Great Void Pill that can heal wounds. Everyone take ten of them, I think you should be able to last for over ten incense sticks worth of time."
"Wah …" High-grade Earth Pill … [You actually took dozens of pellets in one go... "Since when did a Superior Earth Pill become so worthless?" Lu Dong's eyeballs almost popped out when he saw Nie Zhen divide the high quality Earth Pills like candy.
It wasn't that there weren't any high-grade Earth Core Duobao Sect, but it definitely wouldn't be like Nie Zhen, who had dozens of them and was giving them away everywhere. In an instant, everyone became very interested in Nie Zhen's background.
In fact, for Nie Zhen, a Superior Earth Pill, this kind of pill did not require much effort to refine. The three Pill Cauldron s in Nie Zhen's possession, even if it was one of the worst Eight Trigrams Cauldron among them, were all Pill Cauldron s from Heavenly God Stage Level. The auxiliary effect of this Eight Trigrams Cauldron in refining pills was definitely not something that a normal person could imagine, whether it was the grade of the pill or the quantity of the pills, they were all at least two times more than experts of the same level.
Furthermore, with Nie Zhen's current alchemy cultivation, refining top quality Heaven Pill was not a big problem, not to mention high quality Earth dan, Nie Zhen did not say that it was. These pills, even though he considered them as fellow disciples, but most of them were created because he needed to practice alchemy himself.
Seeing Nie Zhen's amazing skills, even San Great Sect Master was a bit shocked. Zhuo Bufan seriously asked Sun Tie: "Nephew Nie, with your current alchemy skills, if you were to refine a Heaven Pill level pill, would you be able to do it?"
Although it was only the stage of Three Sects exchange competition, Zhuo Bufan was already asking about the exchange competition organized by Jiugong Sect.
Nie Zhen knew that this was not the time to be modest. He replied seriously: "If it's in a good condition, there won't be a problem with the high rank Heaven Pill. Even if it's a peak rank Heaven Pill, we can still fight for it."
All of the Duobao Sect disciples were shaken, and looked at Nie Zhen with eyes filled with disbelief. Top quality Heaven Pill, then, wouldn't that mean that even the number one alchemist elder in the sect, Elder Tianhuo, couldn't compare to Nie Zhen?
Zhuo Bufan and the rest were overjoyed when they found out that Nie Zhen's alchemy skills were already so powerful. Originally, the Duobao Sect was very weak in terms of the foundation of the Alchemy Division, so whether it was the alchemy talent or the alchemy foundation, they were both far from the Origin Sect, and in fact, were both far from the Ice River Valley. But now, because of Nie Zhen's arrival, the Duobao Sect was able to compete with the two great sects, or even the other great empires, in the alchemy dao.
No one could become a Grandmaster of the Pill Dao so easily. Nie Zhen must have obtained the legacy of the Pill Dao somewhere, or had his knowledge of the Pill Dao taught by a senior, or else no matter how talented Nie Zhen was in the Pill Dao, no one would be able to give him a pill recipe, and even if they gave him a few hundred years of time, it would still be impossible for him to succeed.
However, they did not ask Nie Zhen what kind of opportunity he had obtained. To them, the more cards Nie Zhen had, the better it was for them.
"Since Nephew Nie's alchemy skills are so outstanding, we can rest assured. Once we return to the sect, the sect will give you some support in the area of alchemy." Zhuo Bufan did not want the Duobao Sect disciples to ask Nie Zhen many questions and instead forgot about the battle exchange before them, so he changed the topic and said: "Since we have finished discussing tomorrow's battle tactics, then we only have one thing left to do, and that is to confirm tomorrow's starting lineup."
According to Nie Zhen's suggestion, tomorrow's disciples would coordinate and coordinate with each other. Whoever was about to die would be exchanged with the inner circle disciples. However, the starting lineup needed to be decided beforehand.
Disciple, you are the one who suggested this tactic. If you have any thoughts, you can say them first. Duan Rong smiled as he looked at Nie Zhen.
Nie Zhen pondered for a moment, and said: "I have a preliminary idea, because the outer circle disciples in the beginning would have to go through the longest attack, their strength must not be too small, but since the inner circle is the replacement, we can't let their strength be too low, so I think that when we send out our disciples, we need to coordinate and match them properly."
"Disciple believes that Qin First Senior Brother and I must participate in the starting lineup so that we can withstand most of the pressure. In contrast, senior brother Xiao Ding and senior brother Bian Chao's cultivation will be weaker, but since they have teamed up with each other for so many years, the power they can display will naturally not be weak. They can act as the starting lineup, and as for the last person in the outer circle …"
Speaking up to this point, Soong Dong'er took the initiative to ask, "Three sect masters, this disciple requests that you act as the first line of defense. This disciple has an advantage in terms of defense."
Nie Zhen's eyes lit up, thinking back to when he was fighting with Origin Sect Elder Chen Kang, Soong Dong'er relied on the Hong Ling satin for defense, her performance was indeed not bad, and nodded: "Not bad! Senior Sister Soong's Red Silk Satin's defensive power is astonishing. If it's used to break the formation, then it might not be suitable, but the attack used to defend the formation is not bad at all. Furthermore, the length of the Red Silk Satin is astonishing, and its defensive range can be greatly enhanced! "
San Great Sect Master also felt that the current lineup was very suitable. The defensive power of the outer circle was already in place, and Lu Dong and the other two in the inner circle were also the top disciples of their respective factions.
"Boss, I think this lineup is not bad. We can consider it." Duan Rong looked at Great Sect Master and nodded.
Great Sect Master smiled, "Haha... Then, according to the current list, all disciples must go back and rest well. There will be a bitter battle tomorrow, so remember to adjust your condition to your peak. "
"Disciple obeys!" After receiving their orders, all the disciples returned to their rooms to cultivate and rest. Right now, there was only one night left to rest. No one had any time to waste on idle chatter, so they were all speechless.
The night was peaceful. On the morning of the second day, the disciples of the various sects returned to the martial arts practice field under the guidance of their teachers.
The three Great Sect Master's higher-ups were all sitting on the high platform with a group of disciples following behind them. The disciples that were participating in the competition were divided into three groups and stood in the middle of the training field.
At this time, Origin Sect Great Sect Master and Lin Wuhui had obviously already adjusted their mental states well. They faced all the people from the three major sects and said indifferently: "After a night of rest, you all should have probably gotten to your peak state by now, right? Time is of the essence, we might as well move on to the next round. For the first round of the second round, we will begin with the contestants' content – the battle array formation. "
Zhuo Bufan and Bing Tianya nodded at the same time. They were straightforward people, so they were here to participate in the exchange competition. They weren't here for a vacation to chat, so they didn't have anything to say.
At this time, the number one person from the three major sects stood up at the same time, and announced to the participating disciples: "Three Sects exchange competition, the first round of the second round begins!"
Following that, Lin Wuhui announced to the participating disciples: "According to usual practice, I will explain to you the rules of the second round, and then, you will be led by my Origin Sect disciples to the three Eight Trigrams Formation. As the three groups of Eight Trigrams Formation will activate at the same time, you will need to block ten incense sticks of time, and each incense stick represents ten incense sticks worth of time.2
This rule is actually very simple, even if your sect can last for ten incense sticks of time, if you eliminate seven people, then your overall result will only be thirty points. This rule is mainly aimed at the case of a sect whose overall strength is especially weak, but one especially powerful genius has appeared.
Without these rules, this sect could withstand ten incense sticks' worth of time, but in reality, it was only a single person who managed to endure. It didn't represent the sect's overall strength.
After Lin Wuhui announced the rules of the competition, three Origin Sect disciples walked up onto the stage, and brought the three participating teams to the location of the Eight Trigrams Formation, while the sect masters followed closely behind.
The location of the formation wasn't too far away. Soon, everyone saw three stone houses erected in a secluded location. The stone houses didn't have any windows, only a stone door. Clearly, this was where the second round of the competition was going to take place.
However, there was something good about the second round of the competition. Everyone outside the stone hut could see the power of the Eight Trigrams Formation, and in this round of competition, Origin Sect could not be used as they were in the first round of the competition.
The three participating teams, led by the Origin Sect disciples, respectively entered the stone hut, and waited for everyone to enter. Then, the stone hut's door slowly closed.
After giving the disciples ten minutes to get ready, Lin Wuhui announced: "All participating disciples are ready. The second round of the competition is about to begin. The Eight Trigrams Formation will open!"
