Chapter 296: Calm Heart, Targeting

Red Stone Commandery is very big!

It is about the same level as Dingxiang Commandery in the Qi Kingdom where He Ping was before.

In a commandery, besides Red Shicheng, there are many sects.

These sects, if not a thousand, are at least eight hundred.

Which sect doesn't have Foundation Establishment disciples?

And the entire Red Stone Commandery only has five hundred spots.

What to do?

How to divide them?

This is a problem.

After three days of silence, the City Lord's Mansion formulated the distribution plan on the fourth day.

Then the announcement was posted on both sides of the North Gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

He Ping also ran over to see it.

Five hundred spots were divided into two parts.

The first part was three hundred!

These three hundred spots adopted an invitation method, inviting the sects that ranked on the list within the entire Red Stone Commandery, and each sect could recommend two 【Foundation Establishment】 cultivators to come and compete.

Those who finally ranked in the top three hundred would each obtain a qualification to go to Xishu Commandery to participate in the exploration of the Five Dragon Ditch Mystic Realm.

Besides sects being able to recommend, within the entire scope of Red Shicheng, all disciples at the tenth layer of Foundation Establishment and above also had the qualification to sign up.

Regardless of whether they were rogue cultivators!

After signing up, they could participate in the qualification competition together with those sect disciples.

Seeing this news, He Ping finally let out a sigh of relief.

He was qualified to sign up.

This was the first part!

The second part had two hundred spots.

These two hundred spots were finally auctioned off in a special session at the Red Stone Auction House.

But those participating in the auction must be sects, not individuals.

To put it bluntly, these things were also for sect disciples.

Rogue cultivators didn't have many opportunities.

But there were some.

After He Ping inquired, he followed the guidance of the personnel in the City Lord's Mansion and came to a relatively large great hall in the mansion.

Looking out, He Ping was startled.

Because there were really quite a few people queuing up to sign up.

And those queuing here were basically rogue cultivators.

No way, just queue up!

After the queuing started, the City Lord's Mansion had its own special personnel come over to register everyone and then issue a plaque!

Every plaque had a number on it.

During the competition, both the number and the name would be used as standards.

Once signed up, one was not allowed to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

Because the City Lord's Mansion strictly prohibited the private resale of the number plaques.

To prevent private resale, these people were confined in the City Lord's Mansion. In this way, the cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion were all qualified, and even if you wanted to sell, you couldn't sell it.

Those who wanted to obtain qualifications by buying, you couldn't get in either.

Clever design!

He Ping naturally also obtained a plaque.

The plaque was very simple, made of wood.

His name was written on the wooden plaque: Xu Kunlun.

After the name Xu Kunlun, there was a string of numbers: 1886.

Before long, everyone had finished collecting their number plaques.

Then a woman wearing a green Daoist robe walked over.

He Ping looked at the woman; he recognized her.

She was one of the three great Nascent Soul experts of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Everyone!" A female cultivator said: "This is Elder Jingxin, the person in charge of our City Lord's Mansion. Why haven't you paid your respects yet?"

All the rogue cultivator disciples cupped their hands and saluted Elder Jingxin without exception.

Some even exaggeratedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

However, Elder Jingxin didn't even look at them.

She just swept her gaze lightly across the audience and said: "Is Xu Kunlun here?"

Damn...

He Ping's face turned black: You came over just to find me?

"Here..." He didn't dare not to come out, so he could only raise his hand, then walk out of the crowd, and salute the Elder Jingxin again: "This junior Xu Kunlun, greets the Elder!"

"Hmm!"

Jingxin nodded and said: "Hand over your number plaque!"

??

He Ping was stunned: "Why... why?"

He asked.

Jingxin said: "No reason, I just feel that you shouldn't participate in this competition!"

He Ping thought of a possibility.

That was the royal family deliberately not letting people related to Qiao Huizhu participate.

So he asked: "This junior meets all the conditions of the City Lord's Mansion, why can't I participate?"

"If the Elder doesn't give a sufficient reason, Xu Kunlun will not be reconciled!"

"Hehehehe..." Jingxin chuckled and said: "So what if you are not reconciled?"

"This Elder is the person in charge of the distribution of spots in Red Stone Commandery this time; these spots are decided by me!"

"Is this reason sufficient?"

Jingxin stared at He Ping, her eyes flashing with sharpness.

He Ping nodded and said: "This junior is convinced!"

After saying that, he handed the number plaque to Jingxin and left the City Lord's Mansion.

No way.

The other party is a Nascent Soul expert.

Can't beat her!

The key is that this person is also the person in charge of distributing the spots.

If she just doesn't give it to you, what can you do?

He Ping is a rational person, and reason tells him that someone is targeting him.

If you say it's the royal family?

Not very likely.

After all, the royal family's goal is to destroy the Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus Root; it's the same whoever goes.

That is very obvious; it's this guy named Jingxin who is deliberately fixing me.

But why?

He Ping couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

If there is a barely acceptable explanation, it's that she wanted to take Qiao Huizhu as a disciple but didn't succeed, so she became jealous and angry, and thus vented her anger on me?

A great Nascent Soul expert wouldn't be so petty, right?

"Sorry, Brother Xu..."

In the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce, Ling Zhiwang looked at He Ping with an apologetic face: "This auction, I can't arrange for you to get in!"

"Because the subject participating in the auction is not an individual, but a sect!"

"Not to mention... sigh..."

"Brother, let me tell you clearly!"

"Elder Jingxin of the City Lord's Mansion specifically instructed not to let you in!"

"Also... I heard from Elder Red Moon that Elder Jingxin's meaning is that this time, she will try every possible way to prevent you from obtaining the qualification!"

"I told you this, you must not tell anyone that I said it!"

"Brother, do you understand?"

Ling Zhiwang was full of desire to survive.

He Ping was very calm; he nodded and said: "Understood!"

He didn't fall into a dead end.

There is still a way!

Since Red Stone Commandery doesn't work, go to other commanderies to see the situation.

"Fellow Daoist Ling!" He Ping said: "I'll tell you clearly too; I must go to this mystic realm!"

"If I can't get a spot in Red Stone Commandery, I want to go to other commanderies to try!"

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"That's right!" Ling Zhiwang's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's a good idea... Brother, don't be anxious... let me think..."

"Got it!"

Ling Zhiwang waved his hand and took out a jade slip from his pocket.

With a bang, it unfolded, and a map was projected from the jade slip.

This is the map of the Liang Kingdom.

Red Stone Commandery is at the border between the Liang Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom.

"Look..." Ling Zhiwang pointed at the map and said: "South of Red Stone Commandery, this great commandery is called 【Nanlong Commandery】, and the capital city of this Nanlong Commandery is 【Tiannan City】."

"Tiannan City is my hometown, and I have a good friend here!"

"You go find him!"

"Take my token... after you arrive, he will definitely try his best to help you!" ===== CHAPTER 297 =====
