After the first round of competition ended, the second round did not start immediately.

Pei Yun took advantage of the rest time to consolidate the various artistic conceptions he had comprehended in the Gate of Artistic Conceptions. The second round of group competition would begin three days later.

Everyone came to the competition square again. The Huanyue Sect announced the content of the first round of individual competition one day in advance, but the content of the second round of competition was not announced until all factions arrived at the scene. The elders of the Huanyue Sect then announced the content of this competition.

"The second round of competition is a group competition between sects. Each sect can send up to ten disciples to enter the Mountain and River Painting Scroll. The sects will compete as a whole in the painting scroll world, and the ranking will be determined based on the time when the last disciple of each sect is eliminated..."

The elder paused and said, "...One thing you need to pay attention to is that disciples entering the scroll world are not allowed to bring space storage instruments. In addition, you cannot bring in elixirs, talismans, and magic array instruments. In the scroll world, my Huanyue Sect has prepared refining materials for disciples of all sects. You can refine them after entering. Of course, you don't have to refine them. The ultimate goal is to defeat other sects. These are just bonuses... From now on, each sect will be given one stick of incense to select suitable disciples to enter..."

Except for the Huanyue Sect, the elders and disciples of other sects present were all shocked after hearing the content of the second round of competition.

They were not allowed to bring anything into the competition venue. They had to rely on the materials provided by Huanyue Sect to refine elixirs, weapons and talismans on the spot. Therefore, the selection of disciples could not only be based on their cultivation strength.

Elder Lin set up a barrier to isolate spiritual consciousness, and then he and Elder Shuo called the ten disciples who were originally going to participate in the competition to their side.

"You have also heard the competition rules just now. If we follow these rules, we cannot just select the strongest disciples to enter..."

"Master, with what the Huanyue Sect is doing, I'm a swordsman, so can't even bring my sword in? How can we compete?" Gu Yuan was the first to speak out his dissatisfaction.

"As a swordsman, I can't bring the sword in..." Luo Qi touched his chin and said helplessly.

"Among the ten of you, is there anyone who is good at elixirs, weapons, talismans and formations?" Elder Shuo asked.

"Two elders, don't worry about the pills. I can make them for the brothers and sisters who are participating in the competition..." Pei Yun volunteered to step forward and saluted the two of them.

"Yes! Pei Yun is a guest elder of Danxiang Pavilion, so refining pills is certainly a piece of cake for him!" Elder Lin was delighted, and then he looked around at the other nine disciples, "Who among you is good at refining magic tools, drawing talismans, and formations?"

The other nine disciples looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads.

Honestly speaking, it's not their fault. Apart from the special existence of Pei Yun, how could people like them who are strong among their peers have the time and energy to delve into other fields!

Elder Lin and Elder Shuo looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Huanyue Sect did a great job with this move. They could definitely select the most suitable disciples to participate in the competition on their own territory. No one could find any fault with the competition rules. But it would be too late for them to go back to the sect and select the right disciples! This was the advantage of the host!

"Is there anyone among you who is good at refining magical instruments, drawing talismans or forming formations?" Elder Lin asked the other ninety disciples who came to watch the game.

In fact, the most important thing is refining equipment, and the lack of other things will not affect the overall situation.

The disciples of Yunshan Sect were also confused. After a moment of silence, a disciple came out hesitantly and saluted to the two elders: "Two elders, I am from the Magical Instrument Hall, but I can only refine yellow-level magic instruments at present, so I may not be able to help you, brothers and sisters..."

For a moment, everyone focused their attention on Junior Brother Zhang, who was ranked 98th in the Foundation Establishment Competition and had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.

“…You will just participate in the competition this time. Once you enter, just concentrate on refining the magic weapon.” Elder Lin replaced the tenth person with Junior Brother Zhang.

"Yes." Junior Brother Zhang bowed and a fighting spirit rose in his heart.

Apart from Junior Brother Zhang, no one else stood up. Among the top 100 disciples, only Junior Brother Zhang was from the Magical Instruments Hall. The other disciples were not from the Alchemy, Instruments, Talismans and Array Halls.

"This is a group competition, and we need to choose a leader. Elder Shuo and I have discussed it, and we have finally decided that Pei Yun will be in charge of this competition. After you enter, you must obey her arrangements..." Elder Lin announced in a majestic tone.

Everyone was stunned, including Pei Yun himself, but he changed his mind and took on this important task: "Disciple will not let down the trust of the two elders..."

"Junior Sister Pei, I will obey your orders!" Luo Qi patted her shoulder and said half-jokingly.

Since Luo Qi, who was ranked first, had no objection, the others naturally would not express dissatisfaction. Only Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly and his lips moved slightly, but he did not utter a word in the end.

The time of one stick of incense soon came to an elder of Huanyue Sect, holding a scroll in her hand, and she came to the center of the square. She threw the scroll upwards, and the scroll immediately became huge, slowly opened up, and floated in the air. The formation on the square was activated again, revealing the world in the scroll...

Everyone can see the miniature world inside. The competition location is in a forest. There are attics built in different directions of the terrain. There are ten attics in total, which are the residences for the disciples of various factions.

"Now each faction should send someone up to draw lots, choose the location of the attic, and receive the token to enter."

Pei Yun, the person in charge of this competition, went up to draw lots on behalf of Yunshan: "Number five."

The elder of the Huanyue Sect pointed out the location of the attic that had appeared, and gave her ten black crystal tokens with the word "number five" engraved on them. She told them, "Disciples of each sect must hold these tokens to enter. Once a token is snatched away by another sect, the disciple without the token will be excluded from the scroll world..."

"Yes, thank you elder."

After all the gifts were collected, the disciples from all the major sects who were participating in the competition stood up. They took the tokens in their hands and injected spiritual power into them. The next moment, these disciples were teleported into the scroll with a "whoosh"...

When Pei Yun opened his eyes, he saw that he and other brothers and sisters were directly teleported to the front of the fifth attic. The location of this attic was quite good. It was located on the edge of the lake and surrounded by water on three sides. It was still a bit far away from other sects.

"Let's go in." Pei Yun led everyone into the attic.

The attic is divided into two floors. It doesn't look big from the outside. Once you walk in, you can see various materials placed on the shelves against the wall in the outer room. There is a round table in the middle with a plate on it and ten chairs placed around it. The inner room is a place for refining equipment, and all kinds of refining tools are available.

A low-grade Xuan-level alchemy furnace was placed in the outer room on the second floor, and various materials were placed on the shelf beside it. There were talisman papers and cinnabar pens on the desk in the inner room, which could be seen at a glance as being specially used for making elixirs and drawing talismans.

"We have just come in and no one has any magical weapons. Disciples from other sects should not attack right away..."

Pei Yun thought for a moment and then arranged the relevant matters. "The most important thing now is to refine the magic weapon. Senior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Han should select the materials needed to refine the magic weapon from these materials, and then assist Junior Brother Zhang in refining the weapon as soon as possible."

"Okay!" The three of them nodded and started looking directly on the shelves. The materials that the Huanyue Sect gave them were deliberately mixed together and were not sorted out for them.

"Senior Sister Yu, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Qi and I are here to look for materials for alchemy and formation..."

The magic formation is still very important, and she does not intend to give up. Among these ten people, only Pei Yun has some understanding of the formation. After all, she has learned the formation with Senior Sister Lian Zhen for a period of time, so she plans to take on the two tasks of refining the elixir and setting up the formation by herself.

"Brother Luo, take the other two brothers outside to investigate the terrain. Record where you can set up an ambush and where the enemy can easily attack. It's best to draw a detailed terrain map. After all, what we saw outside before was not complete and clear..."

"Okay! I'll take them outside to have a look."

Everyone agreed with Pei Yun's arrangement and had no objections. Everyone acted according to the plan...

Pei Yun was very familiar with the medicinal materials for alchemy, and the materials for the elixir provided by the Huanyue Sect were very simple and common. Except for those that replenished spiritual power, they also replenished mental power. So she didn't even need to think about it and could tell them apart at a glance. Her movements were so fast that the other three people following behind her were stunned.

As for the materials for the magic array, it did take her some time, but she had already memorized the "Compendium of Magic Array Materials" that Lian Zhen recommended to her, so she selected the magic array materials given by the Huanyue Sect accurately.

Their team had selected all the materials for the alchemy array, so it was much easier for Gu Yuan's team. The remaining materials were either for refining equipment or for drawing talismans.

"Junior Sister Pei, you are even proficient in formations! I see that you are able to identify the materials of the formations so quickly..." Senior Sister Yu praised sincerely, and several other senior brothers also echoed her. They really admired Pei Yun now.

"Sister Yu, you are too kind. I can't say that I am proficient in it. I just learned some knowledge about formations from Sister Lian Zhen from the Formation Hall a few days ago, so I have a basic understanding..."

Pei Yun was quite embarrassed. He said a few humble words and quickly changed the subject: "Junior Brother Zhang, look at the materials that Huanyue Sect gave us. We can refine several magic weapons. I just counted that three of the ten of us don't need to refine. Two of us use long swords, two use long knives, and the other three use whips, spears, and flying knives respectively..."

"Senior Sister Pei, I estimated that Huanyue Sect has given materials to ten people, but with my success rate, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that all of them will succeed..."

"It's okay, Junior Brother Zhang, just do your best. Senior Brother Luo Qi and Senior Brother Gu Yuan are the strongest among us. You can refine the magic weapons for them first, and you can handle the rest..."

"Yes."

"I'm going to the second floor to refine the elixir now. I'd like to ask the other brothers and sisters to refine the flags for the magic formation..."

"We don't even know how to refine this flag!"

Pei Yun picked up a palm-sized piece of phantom wood and used his spiritual power and mental strength to divide it into ten equal sections. He then merged it with the phantom star sand and soon refined it into ten small formation flags.

"The materials given to us by Huanyue Sect are the most common ones. It is not difficult to refine them. I have divided the materials and proportions. All you have to do is follow my instructions..."

"no problem."

Outside the square——

"I didn't expect Pei Yun also knew about formations. Why didn't she tell me before?"

"This kid is just too modest. He probably feels that he doesn't have enough experience in formation..."

After seeing Pei Yun enter the scroll world, he arranged various matters in an orderly manner and acted cautiously and steadily. The two elders couldn't help but nodded and praised him with a smile. Pei Yun's familiarity with the formation surprised them even more.
