Chapter 40 On the Eve of the Test

After Zhao Di sent Jian Xiner back to Tiechuanfeng, he immediately returned to the refinery room.

He couldn't wait to put Yijinwan into the small tripod to cultivate it, then took out a high-level water spirit stone and sat down.

Half a month later, relying on the powerful power of the best Yijin pills and the assistance of the high-level water spirit stone, Zhao Di successfully broke through the bottleneck of the eleventh floor of the gas refining period and became a monk who reached the 12th floor of basic skills.

Even in the Taixu Gate, among the disciples of the outer gate, the twelve-level monks can be ranked at the upper middle level. In addition, he has several top-quality magic weapons. He believes that in the foundation-building test, as long as he is not too unlucky and meets a few brothers and sisters at the peak of the refining period, he still has great hope to get a foundation elixir.

In particular, he found that his consciousness was actually very powerful. He can even operate three top-grade magic weapons at the same time without any confusion. He doesn't know whether it's because he has had a complete memory and thinking ability on the earth for more than 20 years since he was a child, or because he has taken a large number of elixirs. Or there are two reasons, and Zhao Di didn't study it in detail.

There are only more than three months left before the foundation-building test. It is unrealistic to prepare any secret tricks or improve your cultivation. But Zhao Di is not the kind of person who presses the treasure in a grid at all. A few more unique skills are always prepared and harmless.

In such a short time, what can be prepared and compared with the test is very helpful, there is no doubt that it is to make runes. Moreover, Zhao Di did not plan to make high-level runes during the gas refining period, but continued to make a batch of mid-level runes. Zhao Di increasingly feels that it is too convenient to use rune in the process of fighting. It is fast and does not consume too much spiritual power. If several or even dozens of cards are used at the same time, it is also very powerful. More importantly, runes are very common items. Even if dozens of them are used at a time, it will only make people feel that Zhao Di is too extravagant and wasteful, and will definitely not be linked to other more complex factors.

It can be said that the only disadvantage of Fu Yu is that it is a consumable. If you use it a little less, it doesn't make much sense. If you use it more, you are simply burning money! For ordinary monks, it is very good to have several runes on hand and play some roles at critical moments. Like Zhao Di, he often takes out dozens of runes to smash people, I'm afraid it's unprecedented.

In order to keep a low profile as low as possible, Zhao Di's Ruyi Abacus is to try to solve the problem with the usage, and occasionally use some runes. Don't show a large number of runes to scare people until the critical time; even if it's a magic weapon, try to use only one or two pieces. In short, if you can pretend to be poor, try to install it. There is really no way to win the test, and then make a unique trick - operate three top-quality magic weapons at the same time or throw a large number of runes.

Two months before the foundation-building competition, another trading conference was held on Yuling Street. The size of the store and the number of participants in this conference are several times that of the previous ones. Obviously, many outside disciples who have not yet had a good magic weapon want to seize this last opportunity to change to a magic weapon to enhance their strength, and the winning rate in the foundation-building test is a little higher.

So at this time, the merchants in Yanling Street will also do everything possible to get a batch of top-quality magic weapons, which will cause the looting of the disciples. They can often sell a few points higher than usual and make a lot of money.

In addition to magic weapons, other items that are helpful for fighting are also very popular, such as runes. Usually, a medium-level rune in the refining period, which usually sells one piece of six or seven spirit stones, is now sold to one eighty-nine spirit stone. The high-level rune in the gas refining period has risen to 40 spirit stones to 50 spirit stones, and once it appeared on the market, it was immediately sold out.

Even the price of mid-level spirit stones has risen! Usually, a middle-level spirit stone is exchanged for 105 low-level spirit stones. But up to now, even if 110 low-level spiritual stones are used in Yuling Street, it is difficult to exchange it for a middle-level spiritual stone.

This is because when the strength of the fighting monks is similar and the magic weapons are equivalent, it is easy to fall into a standoff in the fight. If you can hold a middle-level spiritual stone instead of a low-level spiritual stone to replenish spiritual power in time, the winning face will be much bigger. Many monks who are usually reluctant to use the middle-level spirit stone also have to prepare two or three pieces at this time. This caused a situation where the middle-level spirit stone was particularly tight for a while.

There are also some items that do not rise but fall. The marrow washing elixir and Yijin pills, which gain cultivation and improve qualification, are one of them. After all, it has been the last two months, and it is unrealistic to rely on a limited number of elixirs to improve your cultivation to a higher level. It's better to use the limited spirit stone to replace the more direct magic weapons and charms.

Therefore, some Yijin pills, which are usually nowhere to be seen, are sold on the market at this time. However, the elixir that can not be sold at ordinary times and can replenish a certain amount of spiritual power and physical strength in a short time is particularly popular.

This kind of elixir is usually not used at all, and it is not cheap, so there are not many people to buy it. During the period of the test, the market became very good. Because during the test, you can't have the opportunity to adjust and restore your physical strength and spiritual strength through meditation and rest.

Zhao Di just took a cursory tour of Yanling Street and analyzed the reasons for these price changes.

He was not idle. First, he purchased a large amount of rune paper and sand to make intermediate runes in the gas refining period in batches, and then bought a large number of various elixirs.

Especially Yijin pills, he has bought as many as seven or eight pills. This unexpected huge harvest surprised Zhao Di.

After this trading conference, Taixu Gate was surprisingly calm for two months. Not only was it rare to see monks flying between the peaks, but even the entrance of the whole Taixu Gate was rarely in and out.

Most of the usually busy outside disciples are on leave during this period, calmly preparing for the test, or meditating, or practicing magic weapons. During this period, Taixumen seemed much quieter.

Zhao Di continued his "crazy" charm in the refinery room. He has been handy with intermediate runes. In just one month, under his drawing almost day and night, he has got a total of nearly 200 intermediate runes, which is enough to cope with the test.

This quiet scene before the war was completely broken after the bear leader of Taixumen announced the start of the base-building competition to sign up for the lottery.

Soon, there was news that more than 1,800 qualified foreign disciples had signed up for this foundation-building test, which was basically the same as the previous sessions.

However, there are only more than 50 foundation elixirs distributed in the foundation-building test this time, which is more than ten less than the previous one.

The senior management of Taixumen explained that the number of foundation elixirs refined this time is relatively small, and the number of foundation elixirs issued to the disciples of the inner gate has not decreased. Therefore, the number of places distributed in the base-building test can only be reduced. Xiong Zhangmen also explained that in the "Dragon Valley" task one year after the foundation-building test, the reward of foundation-building elixir will not be reduced, and the disciples in the door can actively participate.

The disciples of the outside world complained greatly about this, but there was nothing they could do. As for the "Dragon Valley", it is an extremely dangerous forbidden place. Not to mention getting some treasures in it to exchange for foundation elixir to the sect, from the previous situation, the monks who can survive from it are not even one-third of the total number of people entering the valley.

After the number of applicants and the number of foundation dan issued were determined, the test plan was also released immediately.

The rules are also very simple. The lottery is grouped, and each two people fight in a group, and the single wheel is empty. On the premise of not hurting the opponent's life, forcing the opponent to admit defeat and surrender, or driving the opponent out of the competition range, or stuning the opponent so that he has no ability to resist, is regarded as winning a round of competition. Then continue to draw lots in the next round and continue the test.

After five rounds in a row, you can pass the foundation-building competition and get a foundation-building elixir rewarded by the sect.

If there is an injury to death in the test, the injured person will also be disqualified. If this happens in the last round, the foundation elixir that could have been rewarded to the winner will be taken back by the sect and included in the reward of "Dragon Valley".
