Chapter 1105: Arrogance, Liang Zihe

"I... I..."

"He Pingsheng..."

"I'll f*ck your..."

Yun Zhongzi's face turned from black to red, then red to black, finally erupting into boundless rage: "I suspect you brat are deliberately driving up the price. I don't believe you have fifty mid-tier immortal crystals!"

"Unless you take them out for us to see!"

He Pingsheng didn't waste words; he directly took out fifty mid-tier immortal crystals and placed them in the void: "Rest assured, since I've made a bid, I definitely have the immortal crystals. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bid at all!"

"Fifty-one!" Yun Zhongzi, with a dark face, continued to bid against He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng knew this fellow had almost reached his limit.

If he hadn't reached his limit, he wouldn't be adding just one at a time; he would have jumped straight to sixty.

Since that was the case, he would drag it out a bit longer.

"Fifty-two!" He Pingsheng tentatively added one more.

At this moment, the cultivator opposite finally understood why the token in their hand was so valuable.

So it was one person wanting the other to die, and the other desperately trying to save their own life!

Heh...

Interesting.

You two keep dragging this out; I'll just make the money.

"Fifty-three!" Yun Zhongzi gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Fifty-four!" He Pingsheng remained expressionless.

At this very moment, he had at least tens of thousands of mid-tier immortal crystals in his possession.

After He Pingsheng bid fifty-four, Yun Zhongzi didn't bid immediately. Instead, he opened his ring, scanned it with his spiritual sense for a long time, and then said: "I also bid fifty-four, but I will add two second-tier immortal talismans on top of that!"

As soon as these words were spoken, He Pingsheng knew Yun Zhongzi's immortal crystals were bottoming out.

Then... let's wrap this up!

Otherwise, if he raised the price and the other party couldn't afford it, wouldn't it just end up stuck in his own hands?

Yun Zhongzi wanted He Pingsheng to become an opponent for Mount Kunwu, but wasn't He Pingsheng thinking the same thing?

"You win, Senior Yun Zhongzi!" He Pingsheng smiled and waved his hand, putting away the immortal crystals he had just taken out.

"Hmph... you damn... you just wait for me..."

"Once you're dead, those fifty-four immortal crystals will all be mine!"

Yun Zhongzi shouted while heart-wrenchingly completing the transaction with the cultivator.

Fifty-four mid-tier immortal crystals, plus two second-tier immortal talismans—it really made his heart ache!

He Pingsheng continued to browse the stalls. After about an hour without seeing anything he needed, he could only return to his seat and wait slowly.

Time passed very slowly, yet also very quickly.

In the afternoon, the stall owners all packed up their stalls, and then the competition began.

The competition was still being held in this plaza.

Over a hundred Elders of the City Lord's Mansion, dressed in yellow Daoist robes, walked out and arrived at the very center of the plaza.

In each of their hands, they held an identical golden immortal talisman.

Although He Pingsheng didn't know what this talisman was, he could tell it was a second-tier immortal talisman.

"Bang..."

Suddenly, someone activated the immortal talisman.

Once activated, the talisman abruptly transformed into a hemispherical light membrane ten zhang in size.

An array was propped open.

"Eh..." He Pingsheng immediately felt it was strange and asked: "Elder Suolin, what kind of talisman is this, that it can contain an array within it?"

Elder Suolin said: "It seems to be called an Array-Containing Talisman?"

"Correct!" Xi Qingsheng, who was beside them, also said: "It is indeed an Array-Containing Talisman. Actually, this counts as a 【Cave Heaven Immortal Talisman】. Once activated, it props open an array, and within this array, a Cave Heaven Paradise is formed. Looking at it now, it should be used as the arena for our competition!"

Although He Pingsheng was very interested in this type of talisman, he had no way to obtain one.

Soon, one hundred hemispherical light spheres were fully propped open.

There were one hundred arenas in total.

"Reiterating once more, the use of external items is prohibited in this competition..."

"Immortals with numbers in the first two hundred on their placards, please take the stage. This competition adopts a method of pairing odd and even numbers!"

"Number one against number two, number three against number four... Arenas are from left to right, please choose your arena in order!"

"Those unable to take the stage within ten breaths will be given a bye directly into the next round!"

"Begin!"

As soon as the host in the golden Daoist robe finished speaking, one or two hundred disciples flew onto the stage and began looking for their positions.

Beside each arena, there was an Elder monitoring.

Once both parties arrived, they were sent directly into the arena to compete.

If only one party arrived, they would receive a bye!

In this way, each round of the competition only took about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

Two hundred numbers each time—very fast!

And it was said that there were over six thousand people who passed the four basic stages this time.

This meant that it would only take thirty-plus rounds to finish the first round.

"Number eight hundred and one to number one thousand, all come up. You have ten breaths of time to find your positions from left to right!"

"Begin!"

He Pingsheng was number one thousand, so he decisively arrived beside the array light membrane on the far right.

The next moment, a fellow dressed in black and red Daoist robes landed in front of He Pingsheng.

This was He Pingsheng's opponent.

Needless to say, he was the only disciple from Mount Kunwu to advance, that peerless genius who, in Yun Zhongzi's words, was expected to charge into the top one hundred.

A faint smile hung on the opponent's face, looking like contempt, and also like disdain.

"Since you've both arrived, you may enter!"

The Earth Immortal judge in front of the light membrane waved his hand, signaling the two to walk into the array.

He Pingsheng didn't hesitate and lifted his foot to walk in.

The Mount Kunwu genius followed closely behind.

Upon entering the ten-zhang light membrane, He Pingsheng discovered that it wasn't just ten zhang in size inside; it was a Sumeru World, spanning ten thousand zhang in circumference.

"A second-tier Cave Heaven Immortal Talisman, truly miraculous!" He Pingsheng looked at this vast space, his curiosity about the Array-Containing Talisman rising to a new level.

"Hmph..." the Mount Kunwu genius snorted coldly and said: "What you should be concerned about now is whether to surrender."

"Not this Cave Heaven Immortal Talisman!"

He Pingsheng turned his head, glanced faintly at his opponent, and asked: "From Mount Kunwu, right? What's your name?"

As he spoke, He Pingsheng's spiritual sense also scanned his opponent: Human Immortal Stage, twelfth layer.

"The number one Human Immortal of Mount Kunwu, Liang Zihe!"

"Surely, you must have heard of my name, right?" Liang Zihe looked at He Pingsheng with a face full of arrogance.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Sorry, haven't heard of it!"

This couldn't be blamed on He Pingsheng. Although Liang Zihe's reputation had spread throughout Mount Kunwu, and even most of the Human Immortal disciples of the Red Lotus Immortal Valley knew of him, He Pingsheng usually kept to himself and really hadn't heard of him.

"Hehehe..." Liang Zihe said: "Stubborn to the end... Now, as long as you surrender, you can still live!"

"This is your last chance!"

Liang Zihe naturally wanted to kill He Pingsheng, but the competition had rules, and the opponent had the right to surrender.

Moreover, if He Pingsheng really did surrender, it would be even more interesting.

He could go back and publicize it: The disciples of your Red Lotus Immortal Valley kowtowed and surrendered the moment they saw our Mount Kunwu disciples.

The effect could be imagined... ===== CHAPTER 1106 =====
