Chapter 414 Lottery Draw (3)
“Whoa, so Liu ‘Er’s’ ‘Er’ is the ‘Er’ from being foolish!”
Qi Huang was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect that there would be someone at the Evergreen Convention who had the same idea as her, but she didn’t know if they were foolish or confident.
“Ah! His idea is exactly the same as Junior Sister Qi Huang’s?”
Ruan Lingyu said in disbelief.
“Could he be as strong as Junior Sister?”
Yun Fei was a little worried.
“Or maybe he’s just as mentally ill as Junior Sister!”
Su Qingying said with her usual sharp tongue.
“Senior Sister Qingying, can you be a little quieter when you’re complaining about others? I can pretend I didn’t hear you.”
Qi Huang said angrily.
However, Su Qingying still had a blank expression, showing no signs of remorse.
“Where did you impudent fellow come from? How dare you talk so big!”
“You even formed a group by yourself, do you think you’ve entered a hospital? Everyone is lying in bed waiting for you to beat them up. This is the Evergreen Convention, and the participants are elites from all over the Xihui Dynasty!”
“Has the threshold for the Evergreen Convention become so low now? Can even people with mental illness participate?”
“If you have the guts, show us your lottery draw! I’ll make sure you go back to where you came from tomorrow!”
…
The cultivators around were furious and attacked him together.
“Heh, you got it right. In my eyes, this Evergreen Convention in Yongning Prefecture is just a hospital. All of you crawling insects are just exchanging experiences about your illnesses. Your talent is even lower than your IQ, yet you still dare to cultivate. You’re quite addicted. Since this Young Master is here this time, I will definitely help you all quit!”
Liu Er was not afraid at all and continued to provoke. Then, he revealed his lottery draw, saying, “My lottery draw is number five. Anyone who wants to quit the cultivation addiction first can go for lottery draw number six!”
“You just wait, we don’t know who will be quitting!”
“Who is number six? Who is the number six lottery draw? Let’s exchange. I drew a small sect, which is definitely a profitable deal for you!”
“Who drew number six? I’ll buy it at a high price, hurry up and speak! If I find out you’re hiding it, I’ll kill you!”
…
The cultivators below exploded. Everyone was looking for the owner of lottery draw number six, but no one spoke up. After all, who would be foolish enough to exchange if they drew a lone person?
“Be quiet!”
Steward Cai shouted, and the commotion below gradually stopped.
Liu Er shook his head in disdain and arrogantly walked off the stage.
“That guy is too arrogant, claiming he’s going to help us quit our cultivation addiction.”
“He’s just a clone, which means the main body’s cultivation level is at least at the Huashen Realm. He does have the right to be arrogant.”
“But the problem is that there are only a handful of geniuses at the Huashen Realm participating in the Evergreen Convention this time. What’s he so proud of?”
“Who knows? Perhaps his brain is not working well, just like Junior Sister Qi Huang. After all, there are no requirements for mental state to participate in the Evergreen Convention.”
“Hehe, don’t you think if they meet, this will be a real exchange of illness experiences!”
…
Several senior sisters whispered.
“What exchange of illness experiences?”
Qi Huang rolled her eyes and then said, “Don’t underestimate this person. Although he’s a clone, his cultivation level has at least reached the third level of the Huashen Realm!”
“What? Third level of the Huashen Realm? How do you know?”
Cheng Hong Ling, who had been silent beside her, immediately spoke up.
“That guy just tested me with his spiritual sense!”
Qi Huang said concisely.
“Ah? If that’s the case! Then how strong must his main body be?”
Miao Xiang, the little cutie, was scared.
“Don’t know.”
Cheng Hong Ling shook her head with a solemn expression.
“Why not? Isn’t it said that a clone’s talent is 80% of the main body’s? Can’t we infer his main body’s cultivation level from this?”
Shen Yuan asked innocently.
“Firstly, 80% is the ideal situation, which depends on how much vital blood the main body gives. So, most clones cannot achieve that. Secondly, the clone and the main body do not start cultivating at the same time. The starting point is much, much later, so it’s even more impossible to infer how strong his main body is based on his cultivation level.”
Cheng Hong Ling, the only cultivator at the Huashen Realm in the HongHua Sect, explained.
“Yes, take me as an example. If I didn’t take a shortcut, could my current strength reach 80% of my main body’s? It’s obviously impossible. I’m afraid it wouldn’t even reach 10%.”
Qi Huang also added.
“If you say so, then isn’t his main body far stronger than the third level of the Huashen Realm?”
Ruan Lingyu’s face showed worry, and the smiles on others’ faces gradually disappeared.
“Of course, there are exceptions. If his main body is a lazy person who only makes sporadic efforts, his cultivation level might even be surpassed by his clone.”
Qi Huang quickly comforted everyone’s emotions.
“Yes, yes, there is such a possibility!”
Ruan Lingyu quickly agreed, and the others’ expressions improved slightly.
“Impossible. If the main body is surpassed by the clone, then his position will definitely be unstable. After all, no one likes to be ordered around. Cheng Ling’s betrayal is a living example.”
Cheng Hong Ling immediately retorted with mind transmission.
“I know, I’m just comforting them! Besides…”
Qi Huang also explained through mind transmission and then replied earnestly, “Besides, who told you that a clone will always have ulterior motives? Didn’t I not do anything to you either?”
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned for a moment and then stopped talking.
“Moreover, with me here, what are you afraid of? Even if his main body’s cultivation level is at the peak of the Huashen Realm, to me, he’s just a tool to liven up the atmosphere.”
Qi Huang then stated her position, and everyone else finally relaxed.
The lottery draw ended quickly. Qi Huang couldn’t wait to know the result, but unfortunately, they hadn’t dispersed yet, so she couldn’t inquire.
“Alright, the lottery draw is over! The first match will start tomorrow at the precise hour of Siming. The order will be based on the serial numbers on the sign plates. Ten matches will be held each day until the first round is completed.”
Steward Cai added and then warned again, “I’ll remind all fellow Daoists one last time, this Evergreen Convention recognizes the sign plate, not the person. So, protect your sign plates. Once lost, you will be considered to have voluntarily forfeited.”
Upon hearing this, the sects below instinctively hid their sign plates, preparing to decide whether to reveal them after figuring out who their opponents were.
“That’s all. Please return and rest well, so you can perform at your best.”
Steward Cai announced the dispersal and then walked off the high platform.
“Boom!”
The plaza below immediately exploded. All the sects tried their best to inquire about their opponents.
…
“We’re finished, we actually drew the HuXiao Sect. They were already strong, and they even brought two powerful reinforcements at the Huashen Realm. How can we fight them?”
“It’s okay, there are many cultivators from outside this time. They don’t understand the situation in this prefecture. Let’s just find a sect and trick them into exchanging the sign plates.”
…
“Haha, we actually drew the Longchang Sect. They are one of the weakest in Yongning Prefecture.”
“What are you happy about? They found the Sixth Princess as reinforcement. She can deal with us as easily as a mother beating her son, without even lifting a finger.”
“Damn it, this damned Immortal Alliance. They turned my good first-tier lottery draw into a last-tier one.”
…
“Let me tell you quietly, we drew the XX Sect!”
“Quickly hide it, don’t let anyone hear it, otherwise, you might not be able to keep this sign plate!”
…
“I wonder who drew the HongHua Sect? I’m so envious!”
“Envious? Cheng Hong Ling is already a master at the Huashen Realm. Do you want to be bullied?”
“Bullied? That’s a reward! Three years ago, I was kicked by her. I haven’t washed that piece of clothing yet, and it still carries a scent. So I plan to keep it as an heirloom!”
…
Everyone was opening blind boxes. If the draw was too difficult, they would find a way to trick others into exchanging sign plates. If the opponent was a soft persimmon, they would quietly hide their sign plates. The entire process was full of schemes and deceptions, more dramatic than the lottery draw ceremony itself.
The Immortal Alliance had always tacitly approved of such behavior because the ownership of the sign plates did not affect the final outcome, so they were too lazy to interfere.
However, compared to before, the number of sects inquiring about the same number this time was particularly large, which was number six. This was because everyone wanted to teach Liu Er a lesson and vent their anger. Of course, many people simply wanted to bully the weak.
Unfortunately, the sect that drew number six also seemed to think they had encountered a soft persimmon, so they hid themselves silently.
The HongHua Sect knew that it was not a soft persimmon, so they focused on inquiring about their opponents. They soon discovered that number fifty-one was a relatively weak local sect. Among the Immortal Seeds, let alone geniuses at the Huashen Realm, there wasn’t even anyone at the Guiyi Realm, and they didn’t attract any reinforcements. They seemed to be just making up the numbers.
Qi Huang was a little disappointed. She had been holding back for a long time and wanted to use the Evergreen Convention stage to vent her frustrations. To her surprise, she encountered a novice right at the start, which was really disappointing!
In contrast, the other disciples of the HongHua Sect were all celebrating, as they didn’t want to be a drag on Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang, at least not in the first round.
Seeing his senior sisters so happy, Qi Huang felt at ease, as it was better to share joy than to enjoy it alone.
“Who is number six? I’ll give you a chance to exchange, otherwise you’ll regret it!”
At this moment, Liu Er suddenly shouted loudly. This was because he had just probed with his spiritual sense and discovered that the strongest sects in the venue had not drawn number six, which was also very disappointing for him as he wanted to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.
