After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

On the other side, the cultivator who had cast an illusion and was defeated by Pei Yun returned to his team with a gloomy face. He was from Qinghu City, one of the five major cities, and was also the first one to be eliminated from their city. In fact, his strength was definitely above average in this competition, and he never expected that he would be defeated by a little girl.

Pei Yun defeated another cultivator in the pagoda. She had consumed about 30% of her soul power so far, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her face. She did not walk around, but sat down cross-legged and practiced the Three-fold Soul Refining Technique.

At this moment, the monks in the pagoda have almost figured out the rules inside the pagoda. If you move as soon as you enter the room, you will encounter the enemy in a few moments. If you don't move, it will usually take about an incense stick of time for the pagoda to allow monks from two different cities to meet and fight.

So now, after each battle, Pei Yun would use this short time to recuperate. Later, she found that her soul shadow could practice the Three Levels of Spirit Refining Technique to make up for some of the consumed soul power, so she used this time to practice. Although this compensation was negligible, it was better than sitting there stupidly.

About an incense stick later, the stone bricks began to move. Pei Yun opened her eyes and quickly stood up, sword in hand, cautiously facing the next opponent. She knew that the opponents she would face would become stronger later on, and every battle would be a tough one.

The visitor was a middle-aged male monk who looked to be about 40 years old. He had a cold face and was very serious. He did not have any weapons in his hands. When he saw Pei Yun's young and unfamiliar face, a trace of surprise flashed in his pupils, and then he half-squinted his eyes, raised his hands and clenched his fists without saying a word, and used his own moves.

Pei Yun suddenly felt something was wrong. She could see with her naked eyes that this was a very strong opponent. If she were outside, she would definitely be killed instantly. But inside the pagoda, she would not give up easily. She used the strongest move of the Wind-Fixing Palm to counter the oncoming punch.

This punch, with its tremendous crushing force, forced her back more than ten steps before she stopped. Facing her Wind-Fixing Palm, the opponent only took three steps back and easily eliminated her attack.

However, this was not the time to sigh, the two of them once again used spells to attack each other. Pei Yun's Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique, Nine Dragons in the Sky, and Wind-Fixing Palm were performed one after another, trying to catch the opponent off guard.

But he was no pushover either. Each of his punches was like a mountain pressing down on one's head. He used both hardness and softness, and was both offensive and defensive. He fought back and forth with Pei Yun. Moreover, his boxing style had a mysterious and ancient momentum. It was obvious at first glance that he, like her, had comprehended the artistic conception.

If Pei Yun could still resist one or two of the previous punches, but when the opponent changed his fists into palms, one hand turned into flames, the other hand turned into flowing water, and finally the two merged into one and formed a black bird of water and fire that attacked her, she felt a hint of death threat.

In a flash, Pei Yun decided to fight hard. She did not cast a spell, but practiced the Void Pavilion. She had already practiced the first level before, and had built a layer of Void Pavilion in the sea of ​​consciousness, which is the source of the soul. Now she practiced the Void Pavilion again, and suddenly golden lines appeared around her body. Little by little, she built a transparent pavilion with golden lines from simple to complex...

It was this one-story building that miraculously blocked the magic of the man opposite. The opponent might have been frightened by Pei Yun's move and did not attack again for a while.

Pei Yun didn't care about anything else and immediately took the opportunity to attack. After the two of them exchanged hundreds of moves, the opponent's soul power was finally exhausted, and the last bit of spiritual light sank into Pei Yun's soul jade card.

Pei Yun felt relieved and surprised. She didn't expect that Xu Ge could actually help her resist the attack this time. She couldn't help but thank Luo Rufeng again in her heart. The techniques for cultivating spiritual consciousness were really rare, especially those suitable for low-level cultivators like her. There were also some techniques for cultivating spiritual consciousness in the space, but the minimum cultivation level was Nascent Soul Stage. She couldn't learn them even if she wanted to.

At the same time, the points of the Soul Jade Monument Chi Ningcheng in the outside world increased by eleven points, ranking seventeenth.

The people of Chi Ning City burst into cheers again. At this point in the competition, except for City Lord Zhao and Pei Yun, the other eight cultivators from Chi Ning City who participated in the competition were eliminated.

"Seventeenth place is pretty good. We only ranked this high last time..."

At this time, most of the cultivators from small cities had been eliminated, so the cultivators from Chi Ning City felt that there would not be any major changes in the rankings, at least they would not fall below the twentieth place.

"I didn't expect that! I thought our Chi Ning City would be at the bottom this time..."

"The city lord is really awesome. Oh, and Pei Yun hasn't come out yet. This is too unreasonable!"

"Yes! How could she, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, persist for so long..."

"The Jindan cultivators from the five major families have all been eliminated!

The five Jindan-stage cultivators from the five major families all had unpredictable expressions on their faces. If you say they were happy, they were still quite happy, at least the ranking this time was better than expected. However, all five of their Jindan-stage cultivators were eliminated, and this... this little girl from the Pei family who was in the middle stage of foundation building was still in the pagoda and had not been eliminated. Doesn't this mean that these old guys are still not as good as that little girl? This is a slap in their faces!

Therefore, the people from the five major families were wavering between happiness and shame, and the mixed feelings in their hearts were hard to describe.

The only one who was extremely excited was Pei Shi. He squeezed to the front of the team, ignoring the flattery of the people around him and the young monks who were secretly inquiring about Pei Yun. He just stared at the Soul Jade Stele with shining eyes.

At this moment, City Lord Zhao was also eliminated. He immediately looked up at the Soul Jade Monument, and when he saw that Chi Ningcheng was ranked 17th, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not at the bottom.

With this positive attitude, he returned to Chi Ningcheng's team in high spirits...

"City Lord, you're back!"

"City Lord..."

Everyone in Chi Ning City came forward to welcome the return of City Lord Zhao.

City Lord Zhao looked around and found that all the contestants had been eliminated. Of course, he did not see Pei Yun, but he guessed that it was almost the late stage of the competition. Those in the Jindan stage had all been eliminated, not to mention that Pei Yun was only in the Foundation Establishment stage.

So he smiled and said, "This time it's better than we expected. We thought we would fall behind a few places."

"Yes! Now most of the cultivators from the small city have been eliminated. The eighteenth place is more than ten points behind us. This first competition went quite smoothly..."

"Next, let's prepare for the second match." City Lord Zhao walked to his seat and wanted to gather the participating monks to discuss how to prepare for the second match. Suddenly, he found that Pei Yun was not there yet, and frowned slightly, "Where is Pei Yun? Ask someone to bring her over to discuss the second match."

At this moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally remembered, Oh my god! The city lord has come out, but Pei Yun hasn't come out yet, this... is simply unbelievable! They originally just regarded Pei Yun as a junior who was extremely talented but had not yet grown up, but now everyone regarded her as a peer with equal strength.

"City Lord... Pei Yun is still here..." A guest elder from the City Lord's Mansion swallowed and tried hard to tell the unbelievable fact.

"The Soul Jade Monument has moved again! Our Chi Ning City has risen one more place to the sixteenth place! Oh my God!"

A young man accompanying Chi Ningcheng shouted excitedly, and those young men couldn't help but applaud excitedly.

City Lord Zhao and the elders from various families who were surrounding him and who usually held high status in Chi Ning City, were all staring at the Soul Stone Tablet in amazement. Sure enough, Chi Ning City's ranking had moved up one place.

"This, this... Pei Yun... is still inside?" City Lord Zhao pointed at the pagoda with shaking fingers and asked in shock.

There was a strange look on everyone's face, and it was unclear whether they were crying or laughing. They nodded silently.

"...This little girl is so...amazing!" Mayor Zhao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally murmured an exclamation.

God knows, he originally just wanted to give Pei Yun a face and treated her as a filler, but he didn't expect that this little girl gave him a huge surprise.

On the other side of the royal family, Duanmu Hong also stared at the entrance of the pagoda without blinking, his face full of admiration and praise: "Senior Sister Pei, you are too amazing! Three people from our royal family have been eliminated, and she is still in there..."

Cui Lan pursed her lips. The words that she had just said to mock Pei Yun now seemed to have become a joke. She felt as if her face was swollen. For a moment, she felt angry and powerless.

"...Sixth brother, when this Miss Pei comes out, you must introduce her to me..." Duanmu Yi was also dumbfounded. The Jindan cultivators from the three families sent by the royal family to participate in the competition were all eliminated, but Pei Yun, who was in the foundation-building stage, was still among them. He had to make friends with such a powerful person who could make pills.

After a long while, Pei Yun still did not appear at the exit of the pagoda, but the ranking of their Chi Ning City kept jumping forward actively. Every time a person in Chi Ning City was promoted, the hearts of the people in Chi Ning City beat faster. At this time, it was not so important whether it was embarrassing or not, or whether they lost to a little girl. The most important thing was that their Chi Ning City was actually ranked 14th. This was unprecedented. Chi Ning City had never been ranked so high before!

Everyone looked at the Soul Jade Stele with red faces and excitement. At this point, all the participating cultivators from the small cities, except Pei Yun, had been eliminated, so the ranking of the small cities had basically been determined for everyone present except the cultivators from Chi Ning City.

There were fewer monks gathered around the pagoda in the center of the square. The monks from the small cities all sat down in their seats in their own cities, preparing to watch the points competition between the big cities and the royal family.

At this time, except for the people in Chi Ning City, no one knew that there was still one person among the cultivators in the small city who had not been eliminated.

But they soon found out, because Chi Ningcheng's ranking moved forward one place.

"What's going on? Is there anyone else in Chi Ningcheng?"

"This Chi Ningcheng is really a dark horse. I haven't heard much about him before!"

"This... I didn't see any powerful cultivators in Chi Ning City before. This is really unexpected!"

At this time, almost all attention was focused on Chi Ningcheng, because although the competition for the top six was fierce and the points were constantly rising, the rankings were difficult to change. At this time, someone who moved up in the rankings would attract people's attention.

Even the Emperor paid attention to Chi Ningcheng's situation, and praised him with several family heads: "Chi Ningcheng performed well this time. I wonder if he has found a powerful cultivator..."

At this moment, although the people present felt that Chi Ningcheng performed well, they did not take it seriously and did not regard Chi Ningcheng as a threat at all.

But Chi Ningcheng's ranking afterwards made everyone present gradually stunned. Every time one person moved forward, the people present felt nervous, especially the cultivators from small cities. Every time Chi Ningcheng moved up one place, it was equivalent to them moving down one place!

For a moment, everyone's heart was worried about Chi Ning City's ranking. Everyone began to glance at the people in Chi Ning City outside, with different expressions. Some of them who had a good relationship with City Lord Zhao even came forward to start chatting and inquire about the news.

As the focus of the square, everyone in Chi Ning City felt proud and held their heads high. This moment could be called the highlight moment of Chi Ning City. Everyone stood up and looked at the Soul Jade Card with expectant looks on their faces.

After Pei Yun's battle, Chi Ning City's ranking had risen to eighth place, and it was ranked second among the small cities. Many monks from various cities had gathered at Chi Ning City's seat to inquire and congratulate, and even City Lord Zhao was summoned by the emperor for questioning.

It was the first time that City Lord Zhao faced the Emperor of Zhouxia and various powerful families so closely. His face turned red with excitement and he saluted respectfully.

After the Emperor Duanmu Cheng gave him a seat, he asked curiously, "Chi Ning City performed brilliantly in the competition this time, and City Lord Zhao played an indispensable role. I wonder which expert City Lord Zhao invited to help?"

"Your Majesty..." City Lord Zhao found it difficult to speak. "Actually, the girl in the pagoda is from my Chi Ning City family. I admire her talent and believe she will achieve great things in the future, so I gave her a place in the competition..."

"Oh! It seems to be a young girl! This is really unexpected. What's her name?"

City Lord Zhao has figured it out. Pei Yun's talent is too amazing. It is impossible for him to stay in their Chi Ning City. It would be better to recommend him to His Majesty now and do her a favor so that she can take care of Chi Ning City in the future.

"Your Majesty, this girl's name is Pei Yun. She is a disciple of the Yunshan Sect. She is only seventeen years old this year and has reached the middle stage of foundation building."

"what?!"

"This is impossible!"

After hearing City Lord Zhao's reply, everyone around stood up in disbelief. Even the emperor stared at City Lord Zhao with a slightly frown. They felt that City Lord Zhao was lying.

"A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building can stay in the pagoda until now! Doesn't City Lord Zhao find it ridiculous to say this?"

"City Lord Zhao, lying is not good. Moreover, many Jindan cultivators have been eliminated, but you said that a little girl in the foundation-building stage is still among them. Isn't this a slap in the face of all the adults!"

"And what did you say? That person is only seventeen years old! One year younger than our Sixth Prince, and he is already in the middle stage of foundation building... Doesn't this mean that he has a higher talent than our Sixth Prince..."

As they spoke, everyone shook their heads in a mocking manner, looking at City Lord Zhao with contempt and disdain. City Lord Zhao felt so aggrieved that he almost wanted to cry.

Duanmu Cheng, who always loved his youngest son the most, had a faint smile. In his heart, his youngest son Duanmu Hong was one of the best in the royal family in terms of talent, not much worse than his uncle. Now, hearing that there was someone with better talent than his youngest son, he found it hard to accept for a while...

Sudden--

"You said that person was a very young girl wearing a light yellow dress, right?"

A cultivator from an aristocratic family who was eliminated from the pagoda spoke up.

"…You also met this little girl?!"

"Hey, you're talking about the girl whose defensive spells are so powerful that they can't be broken no matter what?"

"That's her. She is a cultivator from our Chi Ning City." City Lord Zhao nodded repeatedly and tried to explain, "Your Majesty, and if you don't believe me, you can also ask His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. Pei Yun and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince are good friends."

Duanmu Cheng also called Duanmu Hong who was not far away.

"Your Majesty, everyone." Duanmu Hong bowed to the emperor.

"City Lord Zhao said that there is a cultivator named Pei Yun in their Chi Ning City, and he is a good friend of yours?" asked the emperor.

“Yes, yes!” Duanmu Hong nodded excitedly, “Senior Sister Pei is really amazing. She is only at the middle stage of foundation building, but she has not been eliminated yet…”

This time, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless...
