Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 71: Top 10

Compared to rogue cultivators, only when they reach the Elemental Infant stage can cultivators in sects surpass them. The higher the cultivation level, the more this is the case, because sects have complete cultivation legacies, while rogue cultivators have a harder time finding suitable cultivation techniques and resources. This is why cultivators are more willing to attach themselves to sects, as the legacies are orderly within sects, unlike rogue cultivators who never know where their next meal is coming from. At every step, rogue cultivators have to work harder than those in sects.

Mi Xiaojing squinted his eyes and observed for a moment. He knew that the battles of these low-level cultivators were no longer helpful to him.

Sitting in his chair, Mi Xiaojing began to ponder how he could use his magical sword. He realized that the magical sword he refined was no worse than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In other words, if he were to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his weapon would not be his weakness. His weakness lay in his cultivation level, which was far behind that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He had a magical sword, but he did not have any defensive magical artifacts. According to his inheritance, defensive magical artifacts were also very important. As for disposable talismans, he did not value them. In addition, spirit pills were also very important, as they were needed for both cultivation and battle.

Apart from refining magical swords with Thunder Gang wood, he planned to refine several defensive magical artifacts.

The first day's competition ended in the evening, with a total of thirty people passing. Twenty would be eliminated in the morning, and five spots would be contested in the afternoon, with the top five being listed. Once they won, they would receive a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Mi Xiaojing cultivated all night.

In the morning, the thirty low-level cultivators began to fight in groups.

This battle was a bit more intense. If Mi Xiaojing had not received the inheritance from Wang Weijun, he would have been more interested. However, now that he had received it, he didn't care much.

Of course, Mi Xiaojing's lack of interest did not mean that others were not interested. Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu were all very interested. Even Mu Xiaoyin watched with relish. After all, the remaining thirty people were the best disciples of the Sword Heart Sect's outer sect.

Although they could not compare to the inner sect disciples, these thirty people were still considered elite among the sect's low-level disciples.

Mi Xiaojing basically stopped watching and silently cultivated, waiting for the competition to end so that he could take his people and go home.

The elimination of twenty people was quick. By the end of the morning, there were only ten people left. These were the true elite disciples of the outer sect, each with their own tricks and weapons of a certain level.

There were three women and seven men, each at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, and each with their own magical artifacts.The afternoon competition began. Mi Xiaojing became interested because it was a pair of competitions, with two people going up each time. The loser would step down, and the winner would continue. If they won two consecutive rounds, they would have a ranking.

A man and a woman took the stage.

Mi Xiaojing watched curiously as both of them had magical swords. With his eyes, he could see that there was a spiritual rune on each sword, which meant that these swords had entered the level of low-grade magical weapons. To low-level cultivators, these were high-class weapons that were difficult to obtain.

Both sides signed up and bowed, and the competition began.

"Mù Tiānhuá, senior sister please!"

"Chén Méi, senior brother please!"

Both of them were polite, and they prepared to start the formal battle.

At this point, Mi Xiaojing noticed the difference. These two people had undergone some training and had some combat experience. From their standing posture, he could tell that they were not inexperienced disciples.

Chén Méi took out a symbol from her waist belt and activated it with a flick, causing a green light to rise and instantly protect her body.

Mù Tiānhuá did the same, protecting his body with a symbol. He then used a magical technique and chanted an incantation, causing his magical sword to float in front of him, aimed at Chén Méi and ready to strike.

The use of magical swords in battle increased the danger level significantly. Once the battle began, life and death were often decided in an instant. Therefore, both sides were very cautious, and this was why they used symbols to protect themselves as soon as they appeared. Even if they lost, they had to give the elders of the sect time to save them, and this was where the symbol came in handy.

Chén Méi's attack speed was very fast, her magical sword floating in front of her as she used magical techniques and incantations. The sword suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and she shouted, "Senior brother, receive the sword!"

The magical sword fiercely attacked.

Mù Tiānhuá sneered, "Good timing!"

The silver light flickered, and if his eyesight was not good, he would not be able to see the speed at which the two were fighting. However, Mi Xiaojing could see everything clearly. His strength was comparable to that of the two fighters, so he could see the details of the fight clearly.

Boom!

The magical swords clashed, creating a wave of impact. In an instant, the air around them distorted, and four banner formations appeared around the stone platform to block the impact within the platform, so as not to harm the audience outside.

The two clashed, their positions exchanged, and they retreated a distance. Originally, they were ten meters apart, but now they were nearly a hundred meters apart, but the magical swords were still entangled.Being able to fight without holding a magical sword in hand is very common among Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it is quite rare among Qi Refining cultivators. Therefore, the onlookers let out a series of exclamations and sighs.

This person is a top expert among the low-level outer sect disciples. Once they obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, advancing would be an easy task. Of course, it must be a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. If it were a low-grade one, the chances of advancing would be much lower. After all, a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is almost like a waste pill, making it extremely difficult to establish a foundation.

Mi Xiaojing lost interest after watching for a moment. He had received Wang Weijun's battle inheritance, which was truly powerful. Watching this kind of fight was like a child's play, and it seemed childish.

Closing his eyes, Mi Xiaojing began to ponder how to refine the Thunder Gang wood into his own weapon, which was what he really cared about.

Various shaking and rumbling sounds could not disturb Mi Xiaojing, as he had already sunk into deep and meticulous thinking. Refining tools is actually a very rigorous process. However, most cultivators rely on experience gained through long-term exploration and experimentation to refine weapons. If it were not for Mi Xiaojing receiving Wang Weijun's refining tool inheritance, he would never have been able to successfully refine his first weapon.

This is the role of experience, and it has little to do with the actual method of refining weapons.
