Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 649: There is actually no difference between advancing to level 1 and pretending again

But no matter what Li Ye thought, this sword fight, as a tradition of the Tianjian Sect, was something that the disciples could not refuse.

Regardless of whether they like it or not, all the disciples of the sect must participate.

Even the outer courtyard has arrangements. As long as you achieve a certain score, you can directly enter the sect without having to take any other assessments.

Even the Xiantian Deacons have other sword fights, and only the Jindan and Yuanying elders can sit back and watch and judge.

This practice is also a reflection of the competitive atmosphere within the Tianjian Sect.

Therefore, even if Li Ye had no intention of showing himself in the sword fighting arena, he could not avoid the sword fighting and had to participate.

"Hmm... just casually display the combat power expected of a sixth-level Juyuan cultivator. If I encounter some disciples with good potential, it's okay to show my weakness and lose directly. It's all just a pretense anyway, so I might as well help them..."

Li Ye thought casually.

Now that he has made a decision, he has become quite calm.

However, he could be indifferent to the sword fight between the sects, but others could not.

Inside the sect, Zhong Hui’s residence.

"Brother Jie, this sword fight is truly a coincidence. Senior Brother Fang, who I'm familiar with, has been assigned the responsibility of coordinating the arena..."

Zhong Hui's eyes were filled with excitement. "Zhong Ping wrote to me earlier, asking me to find a way to kill Li Ye or seriously injure him. If I succeed, I will definitely reward him handsomely..."

"I asked Senior Brother Fang to pair me with Li Ye when the lot drawing takes place. This will definitely show him how powerful I am!"

But after hearing his words, Zhong Jie frowned instead.

"I thought the matter of finding Li Ye to clarify things was long over. Are you still in contact with Zhong Ping?"

Although Zhong Ping is the legitimate son of the family, the two of them were able to obtain family quotas to come to the Tianjian Sect to practice, so their status and position are naturally not bad.

Even their qualifications are better than the other party.

After practicing in the Tianjian Sect for so many years, the other party has gradually become someone who is no longer from the same world as them.

He was able to help this kid two years ago because they were family relatives and Li Ye himself had no status to speak of.

In his reply, he even made it clear that he should not be disturbed by such trivial matters anymore.

Now he is about to break through the seventh level of Ju Yuan. Once he succeeds, he will be considered an important master in the family, so he has no time to pay attention to that guy.

The clan will not lack any food support.

It's just some groundless rumors and jealousy, how could it be worth wasting his time?
But he didn't expect that Zhong Hui was still thinking about this matter, and even did not hesitate to secretly operate in such a big event as the Sword Fighting Conference.

It's really ridiculous!
As if noticing Zhong Jie's displeasure, Zhong Hui quickly explained:

"Although I have exchanged some letters with him, it was he who initiated the greetings. If it weren't for the generous gift he promised, I wouldn't have paid any attention to him..."

"What's more, Li Ye is ultimately a thorn in the way of the marriage between the Zhong and Lin families. If we can get rid of him, it will also be beneficial to our Zhong family..."

Although he said this, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart but did not dare to show it.

He has now broken through to the sixth level of Ju Yuan, and is at the same level as Zhong Jie.

Even if the opponent is about to break through to the seventh level, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t broken through yet!

Their cultivation levels are the same, so even if Zhong Jie is older, why should he teach him a lesson like this?

"You're not wrong..."

Zhong Jie's expression relaxed slightly, and he said earnestly, "Since this is the case, you must prepare well. Don't let Li Ye delay your subsequent advancement!"

"Thank you, Brother Jie, for your advice. I also have an idea..."

Zhong Hui looked sincere.

He had already made up his mind to give Li Ye a hard time in this sword fight, and even get a better ranking than Zhong Jie!

When he sees Zhong Jie, will he still treat him as a junior like he does now?
Although the two had their own ideas, they didn't really take Li Ye seriously. Even if Zhong Hui used some tricks, it was just to take advantage of this opportunity to teach that guy a lesson.

What you think in your heart may even reduce the difficulty of promotion for yourself!

After all, in the Tianjian Sect, which disciple with some ability would be willing to spend the whole day in the spiritual medicine garden accompanied by plants and soil?
………………

As the entire sect was eagerly waiting, the sect sword fight was about to begin.

"The sect competition is so exciting..."

Li Ye looked at the figures gathering together and smiled as if he was going to a market.

He had been in Zixuan Sect for too short a time and had never participated in such activities.

Later, after he achieved the Nascent Soul stage, in order to select outstanding disciples, he also held similar competitions in accordance with convention.

In addition to the arena for competing in combat power, there are also competitions for various arts such as alchemy, poison making, and weapon making, which also have unique rewards.

But at that time I was just watching as the host, this is the first time I have participated in it in person!
The sword fighting arena is arranged along the mountain, with a total of ten peaks.

There are arenas set up in sequence on the mountain, and their number decreases from the bottom of the mountain to the top. With each victory, you will climb up a level.

The final winner will be decided on the stage at the top of the mountain and ranked among the top ten.

The ten disciples selected in this way will then compete in swordsmanship to determine their rankings.

Even if you are ranked tenth, you can still get generous rewards and stand out among the disciples.

In the innate realm, nothing is difficult anymore.

But these have nothing to do with Li Ye.

He had already made plans and was just going to muddle through.

This time he was traveling light, changing out of his usual plain clothes worn for farm work and donning the standard robes of a disciple, and came with an ironwood staff.

Walking in the mountains with such a leisurely posture, if you don’t know, you would think they are on a picnic!

Other people passing by occasionally noticed him, but they felt that this boy was so leisurely, and they were afraid that he was either sure of victory or he had no hope at all.

Judging from his cultivation level of the sixth level of Ju Yuan, it is obviously the latter.

As soon as Li Ye found the ring according to the assigned number, he saw a familiar face striding towards him in the crowd. Although he had a smile on his face, the malice in his face was hardly concealed.

"Junior Brother Li..."

Zhong Hui shouted with a smile, and after approaching, he felt Li Ye's cultivation level and paused, "You are also at the sixth level of Ju Yuan?"

"It's just a lucky breakthrough. Congratulations to you." Li Ye looked at the boy and replied casually.

However, his attitude made Zhong Hui, who had already come with malicious intent, even more angry.

How dare you talk to a fellow like that who works in the fields all day and doesn't even know when the last time he had a fight was!

Even if they are both at the sixth level of Ju Yuan, how can they be the same!
He controlled his expression, "Hahaha! That's quite a coincidence. Since you and I are both at the sixth level, and we've both been assigned to this arena, I hope we don't run into each other later..."

"Otherwise, we have known each other for a while. Swords and knives have no eyes. If I hurt you, I will feel guilty..."

What's wrong with this guy? Why is he showing off here?
Li Ye was speechless, "Brother, please do as you please."

Seeing Li Ye's nonchalant attitude, Zhong Hui's smile froze. He stared at Li Ye for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled again:
"Junior brother, you are quite patient. I hope you can remain so steady in the ring."

After saying that, he turned around and left without staying any longer.

Li Ye looked at the boy's back and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

He hadn't seen such an action for many years, so it was really novel to see it happen suddenly.

"Whatever... I was just pretending to be nice. It doesn't really make any difference if I pretend again after I advance to the next level..." (End of this chapter)
