The reason why Li Da asked this was because no one had appeared in the Windy Town for five to six years. Li Da asked because no one had appeared in the Windy Town for five to six years.
”Hm!” ”Li Chen.” Li Chen indifferently replied.
As for Little Charmer, he just stood to the side, hugging his groan.
Li Da didn't mind Li Chen's attitude. After all, this person's cultivation level was higher than his, and judging from his temperament, he should be a disciple of a famous sect.
”Why did you guys come here to train? The spiritual energy here is extremely sparse. It's been so many years since an outsider came here.”
Li Da had a more mature personality, so he started the conversation without caring if the two people in front of him would respond or not. Go on
”Oh right, Brother Li, it seems that you are also dressed like a member of a prestigious clan. Why don't you go to the Martial Arts Competition to fight in the arena?”
When Li Chen heard this, he asked while being quite concerned.
”What Martial Competition?”
Li Da had an impossible expression as he said, ”You've never heard of the Martial Competition?” Then, he thought of something and asked: ”Then have you heard of the Tyrant Sword Sect?”
Li Chen shook his head.
Li Da immediately understood and said, ”Are you from another world? is this your first time coming to the Stellar Sea? ”
Li Chen nodded and said, ”Indeed, this is my first time here. I don't know much about the rules in many places and I don't know what kinds of sects there are here.”
”Sure enough.” Li Da said softly, then explained: ”This Martial Arts Competition is held every three years, and all the young talents up to the age of 25 can participate, and most of them are under the lead of the Tyrant Sword Sect. Every year, the first place prize in the arena battle is different, but they are all rare weapons, spirit herbs, or martial skills, and can't get first place.
Li Da then took a sip of his tea and continued: ”Although the competition rules state that you can only count on one point, because you can participate in any one person, evil cultivators have been using underhanded methods for the past ten years. A cripple's cultivation, or poison, it's all very bad.”
Speaking of this evil cultivator, Li Da's face was filled with anger.
This was the first time Li Chen heard of an evil cultivator, so he asked, ”What evil cultivator?”
Li Da replied, ”Demonic cultivators are people who specialize in devouring the blood of cultivators or children to raise their cultivation. In any case, their cultivation is very cruel and shameless. There are even people who use formations and use them as sacrifices to obtain a stronger cultivation base.”
When Little Charmer heard this, he sucked in a deep breath and said, ”How could there be such a cultivator? Are the sects not going to care about him?”
Li Chen nodded his head in agreement.
When Li Da heard this, he was silent for a long time before saying, ”You can't control it! Some sects and powers even had deals with these evil cultivators. Furthermore, those evil cultivators' hiding places were very hidden, and they were rarely seen by anyone, or if they were found, they would immediately be killed. ”I occasionally run into them. Very rarely have I been able to kill them.”
At this point, the atmosphere became a bit heavy. At this time, the waiter brought out the dishes and the wine that Li Da wanted. Li Da took a big gulp of the wine and said,
”Let's not talk about those vile evil cultivators. Let's talk about this Martial Arts Competition. It seems like it will only start in four months. Brother Li Chen, won't you give it a try?” This Tyrant Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Stellar Sea, and their rewards are very generous. It's said that this year's first place had a Stage Nine demonic beast core, and the top ten had an additional unknown spiritual herb. ”
Li Da took another sip of his wine, ”Tsk, big sects are just different. They are so generous. I even want to go and have a try.”
From Li Da's words, Li Chen could roughly guess Li Da's personality. He had a strong sense of justice and an open mind. After hearing Li Da's last sentence, Li Chen smiled and said, ”If you want to go, then go. What are you hesitating for?”
”You don't understand.” Li Da replied, ”I happen to be 26 this year.” After saying this, Li Da was even more upset.
”What a coincidence! In this Feng Xing Town, most people are like me; jealous of those rewards, but unable to keep up with the rewards. When we go up to fight in the arena, we can only be beaten to death by evil cultivators or those strong ones. ”
When Li Chen thought about the spiritual energy on the island, he wasn't surprised that Li Da and the others' cultivation bases were so low. There was less spiritual energy, less cultivation.
What a poor place!
This was the first time Li Chen saw how poor people were in the cultivation world.
On the other hand, Little Charmer said, ”Don't tell me there aren't any sects or families here to recruit disciples?”
Li Da shook his head, ”We are about to be abandoned here. There is only one transmission array left, and there are less and less merchant ships coming and going.”
The atmosphere once again became gloomy. Li Da didn't speak anymore. He drank large mouthfuls of wine and ate meat. Today, he had hunted down a Class 2 Magical Beast, but had some money to eat something good outside.
Li Chen and Little Charmer looked at each other and felt powerless. Furthermore, Li Chen was still troubled. If what Li Da said was the truth about this island, then the only transmission array should be the one that appeared!
If that was the case, then it would be very sad. That teleportation formation had been destroyed by someone, and it would probably not be able to be repaired within a short period of time.
At night, when Little Charmer fell asleep, the black phoenix suddenly woke up. Although it did not show itself and only communicated via spiritual consciousness, it made Li Chen feel gratified. After all, the black phoenix had been asleep for several years.
”Let's go participate in the Martial Competition and fight for first place.” These were the first words Black Phoenix had said to Li Chen after waking up.
Li Chen ”…”
I still have a dozen or so magicite cores with me. Raising a contract beast was very tiring, too tiring.
