Chapter 182 Preliminary
Zhao Mu, who had no idea that he had missed a great opportunity, returned home after leaving the Starry Holy Land.
He poured out all the things in his storage ring and checked them carefully.
All ten treasure pills were good things.
The one that Zhao Mu cared about most was a fifth-grade treasure pill [Spiritual Pattern Fire Pill], which was a rare pill that could improve spiritual roots, and it was a fire spiritual root, which was just right for Zhao Mu.
Although his fire spiritual root had reached the top grade, there was still room for improvement.
Although the other pills were not bad, they were not very useful to Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu took the Spiritual Pattern Fire Pill, summoned the little bastard, and used it to brush a wave of return rewards.
His luck was average, and he only triggered a hundredfold return and got a sixth-grade Spiritual Pattern Fire Pill.
The pill did not change, but the grade was upgraded by one level.
Anyway, it was free, so Zhao Mu was not greedy.
With two Spiritual Pattern Fire Pills in hand, Zhao Mu swallowed them all without saying a word.
This kind of elixir does not need to be refined, but it works in the body for a long time, and strengthens the spiritual roots imperceptibly.
After taking it, Zhao Mu does not need to pay attention to it. Just wait for a few months, and the spiritual roots will naturally be improved.
If the top-grade spiritual roots are upgraded, they should be extraordinary spiritual roots. There are very few practitioners with such spiritual roots, and even books rarely record them.
Zhao Mu did not have much hope. In short, it is a good thing that the spiritual roots can be improved. In that case, all the fire-related skills and magical powers can be strengthened, and the power of the Dharma will also become stronger.
Then, Zhao Mu took out the three Taoist artifacts.
The first one is called [Purple Green Mysterious Sword], a third-grade Taoist flying sword, one grade higher than the second-grade Du Evil Sword in his hand.
Taoist artifacts are rare, and Zhao Mu has two Taoist flying swords at the same time, which is a bit extravagant. What's more, Zhao Mu is not proficient in swordsmanship, and he has no motivation to practice swordsmanship. After all, his talent points are mainly in the aspect of fire, and mastering fire magic is the most suitable route for him.
"The color of this purple and green sword seems to match the Qingyun Queen, give it to her."
Although the relationship has been confirmed, the favorability should still be improved.
Zhao Mu went directly to Tang Qing and gave the purple and green sword to her, regardless of whether she accepted it or not, just so domineering.
"This flying sword is of good quality. It should be very suitable to use it to participate in the sword test conference, but where did you get it? This third-grade Taoist weapon is very valuable."
Zhao Mu did not hide it and told Bai Muxue about helping her to survive the tribulation just now.
"Bai Muxue, I have heard of this person. She has some means. If she can join the Shengyuan Demon Sect, it will definitely be a good thing for the Demon Sect. You are very considerate of me, but there is no need to force it. Such strong people have their own pride and cannot be easily persuaded."
Tang Qing said with a smile and accepted the flying sword.
"Ding, you give Tang Qing a third-grade Taoist weapon, triggering a thousand-fold return, and obtain a fifth-grade Taoist weapon [Fulong Sword]."
"Ding, Tang Qing's favorability +2"
"Fulong Sword: Dragon-slaying sword, will cause additional armor-breaking, bleeding, and soul-sucking effects on dragon creatures. The purer the dragon blood, the stronger the effect."
This Fulong Sword is a good thing, specifically for dragons, but it's a pity that it can't be used now.
The Qingyun Queen continued to meditate and recover, and Zhao Mu returned to the living room to continue checking the second defensive magic weapon.
It's average, although the grade is good, but the effect is not as good as his Great Wuxiang Dharma Protector Golden Body.
Keep it for someone else.
The last magic weapon is a bit useful to Zhao Mu, it's an invisibility cloak.
Wear it on your body, you can hide your body, invisible to the naked eye, and can't be scanned by the spirit.
However, the invisibility cloak is only effective for cultivators below the Refining Void Realm. If you exceed the Refining Void Realm and can see through the truth, this invisibility cloak will not work.
After all, it has some uses, so keep it first.
And it can also be used to brush the return reward. If a higher quality invisibility magic weapon is brushed out, it will be more useful.
Four days later.
Today is the day of the Xuanwu group preliminaries. Zhao Mu and Tang Qing walked together and came to the preliminaries venue.
As the preliminaries approached, there were already nearly two thousand cultivators gathered here.
Zhao Mu checked it out and did not find the presence of the breath of the tribulation cultivators, but he could not guarantee whether there were hidden cultivations of the tribulation strongmen who came to participate in the sword test conference.
In any case, it is better to be careful.
Tang Qing's strength has not yet fully recovered. Now he is still in an untouchable state. The spiritual energy cannot be freely controlled, so the battle still depends on him.
If Tang Qing takes action, a large number of players will die today.
After the disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion who came to host the preliminaries read out the rules of the preliminaries, he opened a secret door and sent all the players into the secret realm.
This secret realm is extremely vast, and you can't see the end at a glance. There are a large number of monsters and fierce beasts distributed inside, and many mechanical formations are hidden.
The way to pass the preliminaries is very simple, just see who reaches the end of the secret realm first.
Speed race, right?
"During the preliminaries, it is forbidden to use the magic flying swords you carry with you. You are only allowed to use the flying swords provided by the Sword Immortal Pavilion."
After that, a rain of swords fell from the sky, and a black flying sword landed in front of all the contestants at the same time.
The first-grade magic flying sword was roughly made, and there were cracks on the sword body. It looked like it was cast in a standard way, and it had been used countless times.
After getting the black flying sword, many contestants complained.
This thing might crack halfway through the flight.
The person in charge didn't care about that. With one order, the preliminary round was announced to begin.
The contestants moved quickly. In an instant, thousands of people flew away on their swords.
Zhao Mu was not in a hurry. He might as well let these people explore the way ahead.
The elimination rate in the preliminary round reached 90%. It was definitely not as simple as flying all the way. There must be a lot of dangers hidden along the way. It was not a good thing to rush to fly in the front.
"Ah..."
"Damn, there are so many bees."
"Help, I'm surrounded by flying centipedes."
Sure enough, after a while, screams came one after another.
Just at the beginning, hundreds of people fell off the flying swords and were eliminated.
At this time, Zhao Mu and Tang Qing flew up on the swords, rose to a high altitude and began to accelerate.
Tang Qing seemed to be flying the sword alone, but her spiritual power could not be controlled. In fact, Zhao Mu was helping her to drive the flying sword.
Controlling two flying swords by himself was a great test for Zhao Mu's spiritual energy and control, but even so, Zhao Mu quickly caught up with the main group, and surpassed them all the way, and soon rushed to the front of the team, still maintaining his remaining strength.
Anyway, it was just a preliminaries, there was no need to compete for any ranking, as long as they were not eliminated.
Whoosh!
The wind was surging.
A huge golden-winged Peng bird blocked the front of the team.
"What the hell, it turned out to be a big monster in the Refining Void Realm, is the preliminaries so big?"
"Those who are not strong enough to the Transformation Realm should retreat consciously, otherwise they can't blame others if they lose their lives."
"Fellow Taoists, don't dawdle, quickly join hands with me to kill the Peng bird."
