Chapter 736: The Great Dao Realm (Grand Finale)

  He glanced at her, but shook his head and sighed. It's really true that people can be envious of others to death. If only fortune is considered, he himself couldn't compare with her. Her masters and ancestors were extremely good to her, while he... it's better not to mention. What surprised Fang Li was that Xuan Xianzi was actually the sect master's direct disciple.

  "Donghai Shidi, I heard that your disciple Xuanmozi was the first to go and collect disciples. I wonder which one of these three new disciples who have reached the seventh level of Lianqi is your grandson?" On the stone platform, Dao Luo's voice rang out again, and he suddenly walked up to Donghai Zhanglao's side and asked.

  The old man of the Cave Sea was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he smiled: "Ashamed, ashamed, these three are not my disciples, I have someone else in mind."

  "Oh, is there someone with even better qualifications than these three? I'd like to see for myself." Dao Luo smiled, showing great interest. This person was notorious for loving talent, and would pay attention to any disciple in the sect who showed potential. If it weren't for the sect's rules that each person could only take on one apprentice, he probably would have taken in all of those with potential.

  "I've met Dōng Hǎi Shī Shū's disciple once, and his talent is not bad, but his character is too poor. Last time, he even came to my Yù Zhú Fēng and deceived my disciple into giving him the Lóng Suǐ Tōng Qiào Dān." The Xuan Xiao Xiān Zǐ next to them heard their conversation and coldly snorted, interrupting them.

  Xuan Xianzi did not suppress her voice at all, and with the cultivator's hearing ability, many people heard it clearly, including some new disciples who were relatively close.

  "Is this still a problem?" Da Luo immediately furrowed his brow. Love is one thing, but if the person's character is too poor, then they can't be kept around.

  The old man of the Cave Sea also heard about this matter for the first time, but having lived for nearly two hundred years, he said calmly: "This matter is likely to be misunderstood. Don't believe in rumors, Junior Master Xuanying. If Fang Li really did such a thing, I will definitely expel him from the sect."

  Xuan Xianzi opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but thinking that she really had no evidence, she couldn't help but let out a cold hum and stopped talking.

  Daro elder saw this, knowing that most of it was untrue, and did not discuss this topic again.

  However, the elders on the platform did not discuss it, but the disciples below began to whisper to each other about Fang Li's deception of others with his elixir, and the rumors spread further.

  Fang Li and Liu Caiyu were sitting at a distance from the stage, so they didn't hear these conversations. However, both of them felt that many pairs of eyes were looking in their direction, making Liu Caiyu feel uncomfortable all over.

  When Fang Li was taken away by Xuán Mò Zǐ, those new disciples all saw it with their own eyes and naturally knew who the disciple of Dòng Hǎi Lǎo was.

  "As soon as he entered the sect, I knew he wasn't a good person. Unexpectedly, he even deceived others with elixirs, it's really shameful for our sect."

  "This kind of person should be expelled from the sect. I remember when I first arrived at Huaiyu Peak, this person was only a six-layer Qi Refining cultivator, but he always took credit for everything, relying on the prestige of others to intimidate people."

  Although Xuan Xianzi didn't produce any strong evidence, it didn't stop the new disciples from slandering Fang Li. They had never had a good impression of him anyway, so they naturally didn't mind kicking him while he was down.

  After hearing the discussions of many disciples around him, Fang Li and Liu Caiyu finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. Fang Li was okay, not angry at all, but Liu Caiyu was furious, immediately scolding the new disciples around him:

  "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig out your eyeballs! Who said Fang Li deceived me of my elixir? That was something I gave him as a friend!"

  Liu Caiyu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Fang Li.

  "It's pointless to say more, let's just save our energy." Fang Li smiled indifferently, without any sign of anger on his face.

  "They insulted you and you still manage to smile!" Liu Caiyu said angrily.

  "No matter how low they degrade me, it's useless. Later in the ranking competition, I will make them all shut up one by one!" Fang Li's face suddenly changed, like a cold frost in January. It's not that he wasn't angry, but Fang Li didn't want to take advantage of his eloquence.

  After a while, the ranking trial finally began. In order to save time, the Xuan Yang Sword Sect's ranking trials had always been conducted in a challenging manner. First, according to their strength, all new disciples were ranked, and if they felt that their ranking was too low, they could challenge someone with a higher ranking. If they lost, their ranking would remain unchanged, but if they won, the rankings would be swapped.

  An elder in the Golden Elixir stage, who had received instructions from the Sect Master, walked out with a list in hand, trembling slightly. This list was exactly the initial ranking based on their cultivation levels.

  "Rules are probably already known to everyone, so I won't repeat them. Now, let's start announcing the ranking of each contestant. If you're not satisfied with your own ranking, you can apply for a challenge against the contestants ahead of you."

  First place Lin Changfeng, second place Yan Chongli, third place Liu Caiyu... ninth place Fang Li...

  The elder finished reading the list and was about to leave, but at this time, someone suddenly spoke up from below the stage: "Master uncle, please stay, I have a question to ask."

  This voice was too abrupt, but it attracted the attention of many people. The new disciples below the stage basically all turned their heads to look over. However, what surprised them was that the person who spoke up was none other than Fang Li, who had been criticized by them!

  The elder was stopped by Fang Li. In front of so many people, it would be impolite to refuse, and he couldn't help but frown and say, "What else do you want to ask?"

  Fang Li smiled lightly and asked, "I just want to ask, is there any restriction on the ranking trial? Can we use our magical treasures?"

  It turned out to be just this question, and the elder smiled in his heart, immediately answering: "You can use magical artifacts, which are originally a part of your strength, but you cannot use consumable items that can only be used once, such as elixirs, spirit symbols, and hidden weapons."

  "Thank you, elder, for explaining. I understand now." Fang Li smiled slightly, and since he could use the treasure, then the first place was his!

  The elder nodded and said, "Alright, you can start choosing your challenges now. However, each of you only has five chances to challenge, so make sure to grasp them well and don't be overly ambitious. Although only the top three can receive the reward of the foundation-building pill, as long as you enter the top ten, you will also receive a Tianyuan Pill, which is also a rare thing, so don't miss out because you chose the wrong opponent."

  Tianyuan Dan and Longgui Tongqiao Dan are generally considered to be top-grade elixirs, although they cannot be used to break through realms, they can greatly enhance the cultivation of Qi Refining stage cultivators. It is said that even a Qi Refining tenth-order cultivator who takes it will immediately raise their cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining tenth order.

  However, using elixirs to boost cultivation has a drawback, which is that it increases the difficulty of breakthroughs. Using them occasionally is fine, but using too many will affect future achievements.

  The elder's words had just fallen when the new disciples below the stage **ed up, some were sighing in admiration of the generous reward, while others were considering who to challenge.

  Fang Li didn't have so many concerns and directly stood out, proudly saying: "I want to challenge the number one on the list - Lin Changfeng."
