Chapter 189 Bell
"Unlike previous years, in addition to the spiritual materials collected by the participating disciples, the sect decided to give some additional rewards to the ten disciples who have gained the most as an encouragement. You can see for yourself what the specific prizes are." The black-bearded old man said as he raised his hand. A white banner appeared in the air, with rows of golden characters written on it, followed by rows of small characters.
"The rewards for this meeting are so generous!"
"It's rare for the sect to be so generous. Oh, if I had known this, I would have signed up to participate!"
When the disciples present saw the contents of the rewards, they all took a breath and talked about it.
Yuan Ming glanced at it and showed a touch of emotion on his face.
The rewards prepared by the sect this time are not small. The rewards for the top three are all related to foundation building. The first place reward is a foundation building pill, the second place is a calming incense, and the third place is a condensed essence pill.
According to the annotation, this Dingshen incense is a kind of spiritual incense from the eastern region of Southern Xinjiang. As its name suggests, it can calm the mind and make people's mind absolutely calm, which is of great help in breaking through the foundation-building period.
This spiritual incense is a novelty for other Biluo Cave monks or disciples, but it is not so rare for Yuan Ming.
And Ningyuan Pill is a kind of elixir that can speed up the condensation of mana, which is also of great help in foundation-building.
Dingshen incense and Ningyuan Pill are both precious things, not to mention the foundation-building pill. Biluo Cave took out these three things, which shows that they attach great importance to this Bailuqiu Alliance.
As for the rewards for the fourth to tenth place, they are all magic tools, elixirs for improving cultivation, and a large number of spiritual stones. Although they are not as good as foundation-building pills and Dingshen incense, they are also quite precious.
The other participating disciples were surprised and happy to see such precious rewards.
Some people's eyes became gloomy and looked at other participants.
For such a valuable reward, it is better to cut off the source of the trouble and directly reduce the number of fellow disciples instead of working hard to find treasures and spiritual materials and compete for rankings.
Only forty or fifty people from Biluo Cave signed up for the Bailuqiu Alliance this time. The more people you kill, the greater the chance of entering the top ten.
A crisp sound of "clang" came, and those who had the intention to kill were shaken and almost fell to the ground, but the others were not affected much.
The big cave master had a small white bell in his hand, which was emitting soft white light.
He raised his hand and knocked on the small bell, and the white light on the small bell suddenly became stronger, and then dozens of white bell shadows were shot out, accurately immersing the bodies of all the participants.
Yuan Ming's body also merged into a white bell shadow, and he was shocked and hurriedly used his spiritual sense to explore, but found nothing.
"Don't worry, the bell shadow just now was the warning seal issued by my warning bell, which will automatically disappear after a period of time." The big cave master said.
"May I ask the Great Cave Master, what is the effect of this warning seal?" A voice sounded, and it was a tall Biluo Cave disciple with a scar on his face, extending from the right eye to the chin.
Yuan Ming recognized this person, named "Wuluo", who was the direct disciple of the Second Cave Master and had a high prestige among the younger generation of Biluo Cave.
"This is exactly the second thing I want to say. In the past, when the Bailu Hill Alliance was held, the disciples of the five sects fought and killed each other in order to snatch spiritual materials and treasures. Some disciples of our sect were also ruthless to their fellow disciples for the sake of ranking and interests. This time, we will resolutely not allow fellow disciples to kill each other! The warning seal can sense murderous intent and will be activated when your fellow disciples kill each other. Those who have activated the warning seal will be deprived of the qualification to be included in the top ten, no matter how much they gain!" The Great Cave Master's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said slowly.
"Yes." The participating disciples did not dare to look at him, and bowed their heads in agreement.
Those who were planning to murder their fellow disciples and reduce their competitors also immediately extinguished this idea.
"You are the same. Don't think that the sect doesn't know about your secret fights. It's okay to exchange ideas with fellow disciples, but there must be a limit. Biluo Cave needs to be united and not fight among the disciples!" The second cave master looked at the disciples and elders who did not participate in the alliance and said in a deep voice.
Everyone was terrified when they were swept by his gaze, and some turned their heads away with guilt.
Under the pressure, these people heard the words and agreed in unison.
Yuan Ming frowned secretly. Biluo Cave did not pay attention to the fights between disciples before, and even took an indulgent attitude. Why did the attitude suddenly change? Did something happen? Forced Biluo Cave to make changes.
The smart people in the crowd also guessed this, and naturally looked at the big cave master and the second cave master with a little more doubt in their eyes.
"Don't be afraid of failure. We can still have necessary exchanges. Otherwise, how can we improve our strength? Especially for other sects, we take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. The Great Elder brought Biluo Cave into the five major sects with his own strength, so that other sects dare not spy. If the disciples of our sect are timid in everything, how can we gain a foothold." The Great Cave Master smiled and said.
The disciples of Biluo Cave were relieved when they heard this.
As the pillar of Biluo Cave, the Great Elder has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is said that his cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, far above the three cave masters, and he is also one of the few strong men in the entire southern border and northern region.
As long as he is there, other sects in the northern region dare not invade even a little bit.
"The Great Elder is really domineering." Yuan Ming said inwardly.
He has been in the sect for quite a while, and has never seen the Great Elder. It is said that this person has been in seclusion in the back mountain of Biluo Cave for many years, rarely appears in front of people, and no one has ever seen him take action.
On a tree near the square, Xiying squatted and looked through the crowd and the light field to the back of Biluo Cave.
Behind the three main peaks of Biluo Cave is a continuous mountain range with giant trees and no one. A faint mist permeated the forest, drifting with the mountain wind and lingering between the leaves of the trees.
A cave was located on a green mountain wall. The three big characters "Biluo Cave" were carved on the stone wall on the right. It was covered with moss and seemed to have existed for thousands of years.
Nearly a thousand disciples of Biluo Cave did not know that the name of the sect of Biluo Cave originated from here.
The stone door of the cave was closed, and there was a faint green light rippling on it.
In the stone room deep in Biluo Cave, a young man in a dark green robe sat cross-legged, with high cheekbones and deep eyes, which was very different from the appearance of people in southern Xinjiang.
The young man in green robe made hand gestures, and a half-foot-high black pot was suspended in front of him. The pot body was engraved with some landscapes, flowers and birds, and three small characters were engraved under the spout: Soul-Calming Pot.
The Soul-Calming Pot was humming and trembling, and wisps of black mist rose from the pot, making the lid clang. The top of the lid was slightly sunken, as if a part was missing, which looked a bit uncoordinated.
"Without the Soul-Calming Orb on the top, it's really hard to control this Soul-Calming Pot." The young man in green robe sighed and made hand gestures like a wheel.
Green light hit the Soul-Calming Pot, and the pot body gradually returned to calm, and the overflowing black gas disappeared.
The young man in green robe flicked his sleeves, and twenty or thirty rays shot out and landed in front of him. They were twenty or thirty black bells, which were the Soul-Calming Bells.
"Collect!" The young man in green robe made hand gestures and touched the Soul-Calming Pot, and the lid of the pot floated up, emitting a suction force.
From the twenty or thirty soul-catching bells, a stream of soul power as thick as fingers flew out, constantly changing and wriggling, and rolled into the Soul-Calming Pot, and was quickly sucked dry.
The lid of the pot fell, covering the mouth of the pot tightly.
However, the Soul-Calming Pot began to vibrate again, and the black gas overflowing from the mouth of the pot was more than before.
The green-robed young man's expression condensed, and he flicked his sleeves to emit a green light, which wrapped the Soul-Calming Pot and fell into a black magic circle several feet in size on the ground in front.
The magic circle moved quickly, and a black light covered the pot, and the vibration of the Soul-Calming Pot subsided a lot.
The green-robed young man's expression eased a little, and he pinched his hands, and the black light covering the Soul-Calming Pot became softer, and flowed into the pot like water.
A moment later, the Soul-Calming Pot rang with a "crack" sound, and a black light came out of the pot body, and the top cover was shaken off, and a faint sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling was heard within a radius of ten feet.
A layer of black light surged out of the four walls of the stone room, blocking all the ghosts crying.
"The soul power has finally accumulated enough. I can try to use the power of the soul as a guide. I, Xi Cangqiong, can finally impact the late stage of Jindan." The green-robed young man exhaled lightly and murmured to himself.
As the voice fell, a black light flashed between his eyebrows, revealing a black tiger head phantom. After landing on the ground, it opened its mouth and sucked into the soul-suppressing pot.
A black gas gushed out of the soul-suppressing pot, which looked extremely pure and no longer moved. It sank into the black tiger head.
The green-robed young man looked intoxicated, sat cross-legged, and clasped his hands in front of him.
A huge pressure suddenly emerged, shaking the entire stone chamber, and the air whistled and vibrated.
A sparrow squatted on the big tree outside the Biluo Cave, jumping flexibly on the branches, and occasionally flashed its eyes across the bluestone gate, revealing some spiritual light.
On the big tree far away from the Qingluo Square, Xiying narrowed his eyes, anxiously sharpened his claws on the tree, and suddenly looked up at the gate of the Biluo Cave, with a look of surprise in his cat eyes.
"Who's coming..." It flew towards the mountain gate.
Outside the gate of Biluo Cave, shadowy black-clothed men suddenly appeared from nowhere and were approaching quickly from all directions. There were many of them, no less than three or four hundred. There was a strange pattern embroidered on their chests, which looked like a rising sun with a few white clouds around.
Although these people tried their best to hide their tracks, there were too many of them, and they were soon discovered by the detection methods arranged by Biluo Cave near the sect.
A lurking Biluo Cave stake jumped out of the bushes, flew towards the mountain gate, took out a white talisman and activated it, shouting loudly: "A large number of people of unknown origin are approaching, hurry..."
Before the man finished speaking, he felt a black arrow shot silently from behind. No matter how he dodged, it pierced his throat with a "puff".
The stake's voice stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground and soon stopped breathing. However, before he died, he used up his last strength to crush the talisman in his hand.
A beam of white light shot up into the sky, exploded in midair, and formed a brilliant rain of light.
Almost at the same time, several beams of white light shot up from the east and west sides of the Biluo Cave Sect, turning into a rain of light like fireworks.
Ding Ding Ding!
For a moment, a deafening and huge bell sounded, spreading throughout the entire Biluo Cave Mountain Gate, and echoing in midair.
