One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Feng Shayan felt relieved after thinking about it this way.

He even secretly blamed himself for being too improper, for having such impure thoughts.

The three of them then looked at the rooms together. They were indeed very nice. They were all on the second floor, with attics and balconies. They had an antique feel, but the rooms were also fully equipped with modern amenities such as beds, lamps, and refrigerators.

"In the front of the mountain, luxury suites with this view and standard are already being sold for 12,000 yuan a night!"

"It's like a sandpiper," said Feng Shayan.

"I know that. I've seen it in videos. Also, there's the Wangxian Valley Scenic Area in Shangrao, Jiangxi. Those houses built on the edge of cliffs cost tens of thousands of yuan a night!"

Chen Qi said.

"Actually, there are many places built by the supernatural beings that haven't been exposed yet, like the back mountain where we live now. It's very cheap to enjoy. Brother Qi, when will I share some travel guides for places specifically for supernatural beings to visit?"

Feng Xingtong said.

"I have been to some places, such as the Insect Valley and Medicine King Valley in Miao areas of Yunnan, and I have also been to the black market (Ma Wang Zhao) in that secluded valley in Zhuxian Town!"

Looking back on his experiences over the years, Chen Qi sometimes feels like he's living in a dream.

"Really? I've been wanting to check out that black market for a while now. I heard it was set up by one of the Ten Elders, Ru Hu!"

Feng Xingtong's eyes lit up.

"Are you hungry? I'll go get you some food. The competition will start after lunch, otherwise we won't even finish the first round today!"

"It's like a sandpiper," said Feng Shayan.

"Ugh, nonsense!"

. . . . . . .

after lunch

Chen Qi, Feng Baobao, and Chen Duo followed Feng Shayan and her brother to the outside of the venue.

Directly in front are four huge martial arts arenas.

"Judging from this scale, there were probably more extraordinary people in ancient times than we are now!"

Chen Qi said.

"Indeed, there were many more than we have now, especially during the Tang Dynasty when it reached its peak. These four martial arts arenas were built during that time!"

Xu San and Xu Si led Zhang Chulan over.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Drawing Lots, Grouping!

"So? What did the Celestial Master say? Is there any information about me and the baby?"

Chen Qi looked at Zhang Chulan.

"No, my advisor said he could only tell me after I received the Heavenly Master's ordination!"

Zhang Chulan's expression flickered with a hint of guilt, as if he was very dissatisfied that he hadn't been able to help Chen Qi and Feng Baobao.

"This should be simple; we'll be there to protect you!"

Chen Qi patted Zhang Chulan, signaling him not to worry about it.

"I've got the map of the back mountain. Here, here, here, and here and here—these are all excellent spots for burying people!"

Feng Baobao held up a map marked with many points and spoke with a serious expression.

"Given Zhang Chulan's skill level, he shouldn't need to use his abilities in the first match, unless he's unlucky enough to encounter those top opponents. Starting from the second match, we'll be able to know Zhang Chulan's opponents in advance, and then we can make our move!"

Chen Duo said calmly.

"...Third Brother, Fourth Brother, what kind of tasks do you usually assign to Sister Bao'er and Sister Duo'er?"

Zhang Chulan was stunned.

"We're a company. What kind of missions do you think we have? Fighting crime, hunting down serious criminals, etc. But the more difficult ones are all handled by Brother Qi!"

Xu Si said.

"Brother Qi, your salary must be very high, right? What kind of salary is 8000 yuan a month with five social insurances and one housing fund?

Zhang Chulan immediately asked with an expectant look on his face.

"That's at the level of an intern (467 students)!"

Chen Qi glanced at Zhang Chulan.

The salaries at Nadutong are actually quite high, especially for those who work on the front lines, since it's a job that puts their lives on the line.

Otherwise, how could Chen Qi have earned so much money, supported three people, and saved money to start a business? And what about ShangK Foot Bath?

Moreover, ever since Chen Duo arrived, Chen Qi has been spending money on her without restraint.

Motorcycles, genuine leather jackets and pants—they give you whatever you want.

If Xu Xiang hadn't also really liked Chen Duo and shared some of the expenses, Chen Qi and Feng Baobao wouldn't have been able to live a comfortable life even with their combined salaries.

Even so, they still frequently seek subsidies from Feng Zhenghao of the Tianxia Hui.

Fortunately, Chen Duo later joined the company, and the lives of Chen Qi's family of three improved considerably.

Now that we're closely connected with the Tianxiahui, we don't have to worry about money anymore.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~"

The main door of the first meeting room slowly opened.

"Enter the venue!!!"

A Taoist priest shouted.

"Walk!!"

"Let's go!!"

"These are our opponents!"

"They all look so strong!"

"Look over there, Zhang Chulan and Chen Qi!"

"I heard that those two are inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, and they're the dark horses of this competition!"

"Bai Shixue and Lu Linglong have placed a bet. Shall we place some later?"

“Let’s go!!”

A group of energetic and modern young people walked into the huge, empty venue, discussing loudly.

This immediately enlivened the entire venue.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting!!"

On the high platform of the circular venue, the Celestial Master and a group of Taoist priests stood looking down.

"Besides the routine sacrifices, the Luo Tian Grand Ritual has always been an opportunity for us Qi cultivators to exchange ideas!"

Zhang Zhiwei then spoke slowly:

"Of course, you didn't come here to sit down and discuss metaphysics like us old folks. Since everyone wants to exchange ideas, I won't waste any more time!"

"There are 128 participants in this one-person martial arts tournament, but there can only be one winner!"

"The competition uses an elimination format with group draws to ensure fairness and impartiality!"

"In the first round, four people will be divided into groups to determine the winner. The sole winner will advance to the next round, which is the 4-to-1 competition!"

"The competition is won by knocking out the opponent. Knocking out the opponent is the only criterion for victory. There are no other rules, and all means are permitted!"

"If there is a significant disparity in strength, you can concede or forfeit!"

"Now we will begin the draw for group assignments..."

The old master spoke at length, but he explained it very clearly: the first round of the competition today is a free-for-all of four, with one winner.

At this moment, a young Taoist priest took out a huge QR code poster from the side.

"..."

The people below were all confused.

"What are you waiting for? Scan the QR code to download the lottery app! This is the official app of our Longhushan Extraordinary People Network!!"

Lao Tian Shi Dao (agdj).

"oh oh!"

Download it now!

"This caught me completely off guard!"

"Yeah, even the old Celestial Master is carrying a tablet and asking people to scan QR codes!"

"I didn't even realize it!"

"It seems that Longhu Mountain is also progressing with the times!"

"They even use real-name ID cards. Are they afraid the Quanxing gang might sneak in?"

"The Quanxing? Do you think they'd dare come with so many of us?"

"That's it!!"

"No, it's too far, and my phone is too bad to scan it!"

"My Huawei phone is so easy and simple!"

"My Apple product is reliable too!!"

The young contestants in the audience took out their phones to scan the QR code to verify their identity and then clicked to draw a prize.

"Everyone, have you seen this clearly? The Heavenly Stems represent your order of appearance. Each Heavenly Stem corresponds to an animal. Those who draw the same animal will then compete!"

"Also, those who want to watch the games live can go to the stands in the four venues. Those who want to watch all four games at the same time can watch all four games on the grass outside!"

Good luck to you young people!

After saying these last words, the old celestial master led five or six Taoist priests away.

The remaining twenty-odd Taoist priests also began to go to the four venues to maintain order and do other things.

"Ding Tengshe, so this is my fourth match? What about you guys?"

Chen Qi looked at Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, and Zhang Chulan beside him.

"I am Yi Baihu, the second match!"

Zhang Chulan said.

"I am the viper, the first one!"

Feng Baobao said.

"I am Bing Lv Gui, the third match!"

Chen Duo said.

"Wow, they have matches 1, 2, 3, and 4! Perfect, I won't miss any of them!"

Chen Qi exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Qi, I think I'll have Third Brother and Fourth Brother come with me to watch outside. Watching four shows at the same time will give me a better understanding of other people's methods!"

Zhang Chulan looked bitter and apprehensive.

"Oh dear, you really lack practical experience. Although your cultivation level is average, your Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Technique are powerful. What are you afraid of!"

Chen Qi could understand Zhang Chulan's anxiety.

All these extraordinary individuals were trained and raised by their families from a young age.

It's certain that Zhang Chulan, having just entered the world of supernatural beings, lacks the steadfastness honed by others.

"I'd better go take a look!"

Zhang Chulan didn't refute it, but insisted on going to see it.

"Alright, remember to play in the second match. If you can't even win the first round, you'd better not know the truth!"
