Chapter 34: Talismans defeat the enemy! (Please read and recommend!)
The large trading square where Han Li was located was crowded with more than 5,000 immortal cultivators, because the Loose Cultivator Association said that the last challenge would be in three days, and almost everyone who could come had come.

The number of people setting up stalls has increased several times compared to before. Most of them want to seize the last opportunity to sell all the items that have not been exchanged, so that they can go and watch the fun.

And many high-level cultivators who had been hiding there all this time also showed up. They also wanted to take this opportunity to observe those fellows who might become strong rivals.

Han Li smiled bitterly. He realized that even though he had entered the ninth level, he was still only ranked in the middle among so many cultivators. There were still many people above the ninth level!

Three days later, at the Tainan small meeting, on the west side, at the arena of the Loose Cultivators' Union.

Over the past month, the members of the Loose Cultivators Guild have defeated dozens of challengers here, giving the Lanzhou family a hard slap in the face.

Wasn't he quite arrogant before? Why is he silent now?
I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it!

If no one from the Lanzhou family can win today, the Lanzhou family will always be inferior to the Loose Cultivators' Union in the future.

Almost everyone who came to the Tainan meeting was paying attention to the results of today's competition. Many independent cultivators from other places also came to watch the fun after hearing the news.

Han Li, Song Wen, Wu Jiuji, Hu Pinggu and others also went there early today, hoping to grab a good spot.

Along the way, Han Li did not see any stalls. Almost everyone was heading towards the three arenas on the west side. On the way, many cultivators were discussing the results of today's competition. Among them were cultivators from families as well as independent cultivators.

"Do you think anyone will be able to defeat those three monks from the Loose Cultivators' Union today?"

"How could that be possible?!"

"You don't know that among the three, even the weakest ghost An Puyu has reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage and has two top-level magic weapons on him. It is said that no one has forced the remaining Jiang Jing and Jiang Chuan to show their true strength in the past month."

"That's what I said, too. Those guys from the monk family are just good-looking but useless."

"I think so too. They have been looking down on others with their noses all day long. Now they should be taught a lesson! Otherwise, they will be so arrogant when they have no ability at all."

"Yes, yes, those guys acted like they were the boss, they blocked us at the border between Lanzhou and Jingzhou and prevented us from going to Jingzhou. They also injured a lot of independent cultivators and stole their storage bags."

"Hahaha - today I really gave the fallen dog a beating!"

"Hey, what are you talking about, you stinking bastards?!"

At this time, a family monk who was dressed in gorgeous clothes glanced at everyone present with an unfriendly look and spoke in an angry tone.

"Do you have the guts to say that again?!"

There are several cultivators around him who also come from the same family. Under normal circumstances, he could have tolerated the weak power of the independent cultivators.

But today, someone in Tainan Xiaohui is backing them up!

"Say it again, just say it again, how do you want to hear it?"

"Damn it, you're acting so arrogant, come and challenge me if you dare!"

"You want to hear it again, right? I'll let you hear it enough."

As he spoke, the man threw a conch-shaped magical weapon to the other person.

"This is a recording snail that I give you as a reward. It contains the recording just now. If you want to listen to it as many times as you want, just input your magic power into it and you can listen to it as many times as you want. Enjoy it."

"Hahaha--"

A large group of casual cultivators around burst into laughter.

"you!"

"you!"

The monk from the family pointed his finger fiercely at the people present.

"I'm telling you bunch of rubbish, it won't be long before I enter the Spirit Beast Mountain. By then, I'll be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"And you bunch of lousy casual cultivators will always be stuck in the Qi Refining Stage! You will never be able to use a decent magical weapon in your entire life!"

After saying that, he ran away in shame.

At this time, someone recognized this person.

"Isn't this the eldest son of the Ban family, Ban Xu? I heard that he came to challenge on the first day that the Loose Cultivators' Union built the arena, but he was subdued by Jiang Jing in one move, and he kept begging for mercy on the stage."

"Hahaha--"

At this time, a casual cultivator said with some worry.

"If we laugh at him like this, will he come to take revenge on us after he becomes a foundation-building cultivator?"

At this time, an experienced old cultivator nearby saw through the other party's bragging at a glance.

"Foundation building? Do you really think you can get the foundation building pill by entering the Spirit Beast Mountain?"

"With the foundation-building pill, one can build a foundation? Then the Yue Kingdom would have tens of thousands of foundation-building practitioners already."

"It's his turn?"

"People like this entering the sect are not as free and easy as us casual cultivators."

"Yeah, you don't even take a piss to look at yourself. You'll just be a handyman if you enter the sect."

"If you still want to build your foundation, wait until you get out of the Blood Forbidden Land alive before you talk about building your foundation."

"Hmm? Bloody Trial? What does that mean?"

Han Li in the crowd heard a term he had never heard before. He wanted to ask something about it, but because he had wasted a lot of time just now, everyone was busy going over.

Han Li quietly memorized this phrase in his mind and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he followed the crowd to find a good seat early.

For Han Li, now that he can watch these top cultivators fight at close range, he can also learn a lot.

Soon the place was packed with people and there was no way to get anywhere.

In order to ensure that everyone could see the next competition clearly, the Loose Cultivators Guild specially sent out a team of monks.

This group of monks put their strength together into a magical tool that looked like a piece of cloth, and soon four such magical tools stood up around them.

There is a clear projection of the center of the arena on this cloth, so that the monks who cannot see the arena from the back can also see clearly what is happening.

Amid everyone's anticipation, time passed quickly and a voice was heard from the stage.

"Today is the last day of the martial arts competition!"

"Let's wait and see who will get these three foundation-building pills."

After saying that, three crystal pills with a faint glow on their surfaces flew into the center of the arena and floated quietly in the center of the arena.

"what--"

"It's the Foundation Building Pill!"

When some casual cultivators saw this, they immediately screamed.

"This is what I have always dreamed of and desired in my life!"

An old Qi-refining master shed tears in pain.

Compared to the excitement of the independent cultivators, the Lanzhou families were staring at the arena intently.

They had to admit that they really underestimated the Loose Cultivators' Union.

At the beginning, they thought that the three people were just ordinary cultivators, so they just sent someone from the family to take the Foundation Establishment Pill back.

But soon this group of people suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Loose Cultivators' Union. However, at this time, they did not take it seriously, but instead issued a notice within the family that whoever could get the Foundation Establishment Pill would own it.

But soon, it failed.

Only then did they realize that someone was putting a knife to their necks.

He really started to send out the family's elite disciples, but they were defeated again!
Until now, many core disciples of the families have been defeated by the Loose Cultivators' Guild.

Today is the last battle. It will be really bad if we can’t win!

For this, they have made adequate preparations!
Never lose!

"Qin Yeling Ye family, Ye Long is here to challenge!"

"Ye Long?! How could it be him?!"

At this time, some of the casual cultivators' faces changed when they heard Ye Long's reputation.

"Brother, is this Ye Long famous?"

A casual cultivator asked in confusion. "Don't you know that Ye Long is a figure in Tianque Castle who can rival the madman Feng Yue! And he is already a formal disciple of Tianque Castle! I didn't expect him to come back to participate in this competition. Is it for the foundation-building pill?"

"First round, the competition begins!"

"I have to admit that you are very powerful as a casual cultivator! You were able to force me to take action."

Ye Long is a sturdy, muscular man with earth-attributed magic power flowing through his body.

"Oh no! These people from the noble families are so despicable! They actually chose a cultivator like this to deal with Jiang Jing!"

A perceptive casual cultivator suddenly shouted out.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Ye Long?"

A casual cultivator asked in confusion.

"After watching the competition for so many days, don't you understand yet?"

"The technique that Jiang Jing practices is more of an illusion technique! This shows that his physical strength and reaction ability are definitely not as good as those of a cultivator like Ye Long who practices earth-attributed techniques. Moreover, the techniques that Ye Long practices seem to be very unusual!"

"And if I'm not mistaken, Ye Long should be carrying a magical weapon that can break illusions!"

"This way Jiang Jing can only confront him head-on! What a despicable targeting!"

Before the casual cultivator finished his explanation, Ye Long's earth-attributed magic power surged all over his body, and he immediately sacrificed a magic weapon that looked like a bead.

"Hunduzhu, go!"

After absorbing Ye Long's magic power, the bead, which was originally only the size of an eyeball, grew dozens of times larger and smashed heavily towards Jiang Jing.

Since all the casual cultivators in the audience could see it, Jiang Jing naturally knew it as well. Moreover, he had anticipated this day from the very beginning of the competition.

Facing the incoming giant ball, Jiang Jing said helplessly.

"Sometimes I really hate your reckless way of fighting."

"Not cool at all! It doesn't fit my fighting style at all!"

"Get out of the way!"

The wandering cultivator below, Jiang Jing, had no intention of dodging at all and shouted hurriedly.

"boom--"

The huge Hunyuan Pearl fell down with a bang, smashing the other half of the arena directly.

"Success! Ye Long won!"

A monk from a monk family in the crowd shouted excitedly.

"Haha - what a bullshit Loose Cultivator Guild, it's nothing more than a bunch of weak loose cultivators! They can't stand a single blow in front of our cultivator family!"

Seeing Ye Long end the battle with one strike, the people of the monk family showed joy on their faces, and their pride was beyond words.

The situation of independent cultivators was much more complicated. Some were indignant at the meanness of the cultivator families, some were indifferent and kept silent, expressionless, and some even cursed Jiang Jing for being a waste and thinking he was so powerful.
"No! Not yet!"

At this time, a casual cultivator shouted.

"Look, Jiang Jing was not crushed!"

I saw that there was a huge wind wall under the huge earth bead, blocking the attack of the giant ball. The giant ball was blocked tightly by the wind wall.

Top-level defensive weapon, the Black Wind Coat.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Ye Long also took back his Hun Tu Pearl.

Jiang Jing looked at Ye Long in front of him, his eyes moving up and down.

"I guess your magic weapon for breaking illusions is not advanced enough to be hidden in your body."

"Then you are wearing it on your body. Is it the scent bag on your waist? Or the beads hanging around your neck? Or your belt?"

"As long as I take it, I should be able to win."

Ye Long said coldly when he heard Jiang Jing's words.

"If it were that easy, would I still be the one to deal with you?"

"Head full of earth!"

Ye Long made a hand gesture and mud continued to appear on the surface of his body, eventually surrounding him completely.

Although this set of mud armor seems to be constantly dripping mud, the magic power surges on it, and it is obvious at a glance that it is not so easy to break.

"Huntu Fist!"

Ye Long transformed into a fierce tiger and pounced forward, his fist covered in mud making a series of sonic booms.

"I actually adopted such a defensive posture when facing a sword cultivator. I was really underestimated!"

Seeing that Ye Long was actually coming straight towards him.

"I wanted to play with you, but forget it, you're too dirty, and I can't wait to get that foundation-building pill."

"This month has been hard enough. I'll play with you next time when you advance to the foundation-building stage, big guy."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing took out a talisman and then offered it out.

Ye Long only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, blinding his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

“It’s a talisman!”

"How is it possible that a casual cultivator would have a talisman on him?"

The elder of the Ye family was somewhat unbelievable when he saw Jiang Jing control Ye Long instantly by casting the talisman.

Although there are rumors outside that Ye Long and Feng Yue are on par with each other, in fact, Ye Long is no match for Feng Yue at all, because the other party also has a talisman on him!
At the beginning, the Ye family had set their sights on the declining Qin family because they coveted the many treasures of the Qin family, and the talisman was one of them.

But what was unexpected was that the Qin family had been in decline for hundreds of years, and the talismans had long been consumed over the years. The only remaining golden sword talisman was even taken away by the opponent!
And the legendary genealogy that contained the Qin family’s secret treasures was also missing!
These secrets were obtained by the Ye family through hundreds of years of intermarriage, but in the end, they came to nothing.

Jiang Jing looked at Ye Long who was floating motionless in the air, and went over to pat him on the head.

"A big fool like you should challenge that guy Jiang Chuan. He likes it more."

"First round! Jiang Jing wins!"

After he finished speaking, the foundation-building pill floating in the air fell into Jiang Jing's hands.

Looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, Jiang Jing was also a little excited.

This thing is very rare in their Xuanjian Village. Now, including Jiang Chen, there are only four people in the Foundation Establishment Stage in their Xuanjian Village.

Now that he has obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, he is on the verge of establishing his foundation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Is this the end?"

Seeing Ye Long being defeated in one encounter, a casual cultivator was in disbelief.

"Are these noble families playing a fake match?"

"Idiot! That's a talisman! And it's a very rare illusion talisman. Ye Long is just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. How could he be a match for an illusion talisman!"

"A talisman, I didn't expect that the Loose Cultivator Association would have such a treasure. That is a treasure that only the core disciples of the top cultivator families who once had Jindan ancestors can possess."

An experienced old cultivator slapped the young cultivator on the head.

"A talisman!"

“It’s actually a talisman!”

"I never thought I'd see Fu Bao again in this lifetime! It's worth dying for!"

Some of the casual cultivators started crying again. This time they really learned something new.

"Fu Bao?"

Han Li, who was in the crowd, heard the name and secretly wrote it down.
