After the weapon refining assessment, there were many people from the outside world who inquired about Qin Tiexin openly or covertly.

There was a weapon-refining sect that wanted to contact him in advance. After confirming that he had not joined any sect, they began to think of taking him under their sect in advance.

There are also some cities that are short of weapon-refining talents and have sent people to contact them. They hope that after the final competition, Qin Tiexin can be given priority to work for them. With his weapon-refining strength, he is enough to support the weapon-refining needs of a small city.

Some people with unknown origins and unknown purposes are also secretly searching for traces of "Master Mingjue".

It's just that these have nothing to do with Qin Tiexin for the time being. Thanks to the hidden props given by Senior Brother Chen Xi, and the fact that he always confirms that no one is following him before returning to the small courtyard, many people in the outside world think that he still lives in Lin Residence, and most of them squat near Lin Residence. So far, no one has found the small courtyard.

For five days, Qin Tiexin didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the small courtyard.

Every morning, I get up before dawn to stand.

Sumeru Stance spread out, breathing evenly, and the earth energy came in from the Yongquan point. Nine layers of Earth Wheel were condensed under his feet, and the golden light touched the ground, circle after circle. He repeatedly practiced condensation, dissipation, and re-condensation. After dispersing, it came again, and it dispersed again, over and over again.

Initially, it took ninety breaths to condense the nine layers of Earth Wheel. On the third day of practice, this time was compressed to eighty breaths. On the morning of the fifth day, it had stabilized at around seventy breaths.

Don't underestimate the difference of twenty breaths. In actual combat, if you can take one breath faster, you will have more confidence.

Practice Blood Qi Heavy Abyss during the day.

The positioning accuracy of the six-foot field was much better than the previous few days. He stood under the locust tree and released the field toward the wooden stakes beside the courtyard wall. Dark red Qi and Blood surged out of the fist and condensed into a ball at the target location.

The deviation has shrunk from the initial three or four feet to less than two feet.

For a six-foot field, the deviation of two feet is still not small, but it is much better. Unless it is an enemy with extremely fast and responsive speed, it will be difficult to escape from the center of the field.

He tried several times, and then tried using the field with Sumeru Immovable Instruction.

The ninth layer of Earth Wheel is under the feet, and the strength is increased by 50%. The Qi and Blood vortex in the chest is spinning, and the power of Chongyuan is pumped out from the fist. The dark red field unfolds, and the sense of oppression is obviously stronger than when used alone. The fallen leaves in the field are pressed to the ground, and even the wind cannot blow, and the ground sinks into a shallow pit.

Qin Tiexin felt it for a while and knew it well.

With the bonus of Earth Wheel, the multiplier of Blood Qi Heavy Abyss and Gravity will increase by at least 30%. This is the trump card in the arena. As long as you are trapped by this combination, the enemy will basically be unable to escape.

As for monks who are more powerful than Qin Tiexin, it can be said that there are basically no monks below Golden Core Realm.

In the evening, set up a cauldron to stew meat.

Demon Beast meat is still several hundred kilograms, and with the remaining medicinal power of Qi and Blood elixir and Blood Demon Fruit, it is refined through "True Fire Furnace Scripture". The proportion of Essence Blood is stable at 90%, and the strength remains at about 180,000 kilograms.

The Dharma practice has not stopped either. "Primordial Unity Instruction" is running every night, and Middle-Grade Spirit Stone and Five Phases Conversion Pearl are used together. The Foundation Establishment spiritual liquid in Dantian increases little by little. Although it has not reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it is almost there.

After five days, Qin Tiexin adjusted his condition to the best.

In terms of martial arts, he also did some screening.

Arhat Fist, Prajna Palm, Savage Mountain Leg Technique, Inch Steps · Blood Vortex Thrust, Stone-Shattering Staff Technique, these can be used. Various footwork, Mountain-Shaking Steps, Burst Step, are no problem.

None of these martial arts will reveal his identity and will not be seen by others.

Karma-Burning Wisdom King Flame and Arhat Dharma Aspect Body must not be used. The characteristics of these two martial arts are too obvious. Although I don't know where the old monk who sold him Jade Slip comes from and which force is testing him, but Senior Brother Chen Xi said so, it is better to be careful.

Edgeless cannot be touched. This knife must not be used again at least in Heavenly South Domain. Once someone associates his relationship with "Liu Qing", he may be in big trouble. Naturally, "Heavy Mountain Saber Technique" cannot be used.

In terms of weapons, the Yuanshun Zen staff can be used, and the Star Scar short knife can also be used. Both long and short are available, which is enough for use.

As for "Sumeru Immovable Instruction" and "Blood Qi Heavy Abyss", they are both newly learned and can be used without revealing their secrets. Especially that combination can catch the opponent off guard at critical moments.

So far, he has come into contact with many Heavenly South Domain monks. With the current combination of martial arts, it may be difficult to win the championship, but entering the top sixteen should not be a big problem.

Even if he encounters the puppet giant Imperial Pivot Pavilion Meng Qingxin, Qin Tiexin is confident that he can defeat him without Arhat Dharma Aspect Body.

Besides training, Qin Tiexin also noticed that Ming'an started to have some changes.

The little monk has grown a little taller.

The original quilt was already a bit short, and his feet were always exposed when he slept at night. He had never noticed it, but now he realized that the child seemed to have grown taller. Qin Tiexin found a larger quilt from the cabinet and put it on for him.

What is even more obvious is the change in cultivation.

Ming'an has not yet officially cultivated the cyclone, but a little Spiritual Qi has been produced in his body. Ming'an may not feel it himself, but Qin Tiexin is standing next to him, and he can vaguely detect the very faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations emanating from his body.

That Spiritual Qi is very weak and cannot be used to attack, but it can be done by opening the lowest level Storage Bag and reading the Buddhist scriptures in Jade Slip.

Qin Tiexin gave him a small Storage Bag, which contained several Buddhist scriptures Jade Slip prepared for him.

The day Ming'an got the little Storage Bag, he was extremely happy. He turned the dusty little bag over and over, hung it on his waist, held it in his hand, opened Storage Bag, took out Jade Slip, and put it back again.

"Brother, did you really give this to me?"

"Here you go." Qin Tiexin said.

"Then I don't need to bother senior brother when I read Buddhist scriptures in the future!" Ming'an smiled with his eyes crooked.

From then on, Ming'an opened Storage Bag by himself every day, took out Jade Slip and put it on his forehead, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed to read. He held Jade Slip in his little hand and sat there for half an hour, very focused.

Qin Tiexin occasionally passes by the door, and you can hear him chanting sutras in a low voice. Sometimes it is "Heart Sutra", sometimes it is "Diamond Sutra", every word is precise and precise.

He looked at Ming'an's appearance and felt pleased.

This little junior brother is more suitable for cultivation than I thought.

When Ming'an practices "Clear Heart Sutra", the body will emit a very faint warm light. The light shines out from under the skin, vaguely like the mist in the winter morning.

Qin Tiexin occasionally noticed that the string of bracelets Ming'an plated seemed to be a little moister. The dusty surface had a very faint sheen, like a patina that had been rubbed over many years.

He just thought it was the effect of twisting Ming'an every day and didn't think much about it.

Ming'an I have one thing hidden in my heart.

Chengxin He never told his senior brother about Buddha.

Chengxin Buddha once said that he should not let others know his existence. Ming'an I don't know whether I should believe this completely, but he really hasn't thought about it yet.

He has also never agreed to Chengxin Buddha's request to accept disciples.

He hesitated every day, and the words came to his lips several times, but he swallowed them back. He was afraid that his senior brother would be worried, and he was also afraid of causing trouble to his senior brother. The senior brother was about to go to the ring, so he couldn't be distracted.

Qin Tiexin asked several times, and Ming'an said it was okay.

Let's wait until senior brother finishes fighting.

In addition to practicing, Qin Tiexin occasionally accompanied Ming'an to learn calligraphy and watch him carve wood carvings.

The young monk's craftsmanship is getting better and better. In addition to carving Buddha statues, he occasionally carves a few small animals, which are vivid. There is a little monkey, holding a peach, which is very naive.

"This one is for senior brother." Ming'an stuffed the little wooden monkey into Qin Tiexin's hand.

Qin Tiexin took it, looked at it, and put it in his arms.

"Okay."

On the evening of the fourth day, Lin Chuan sent word that Arena Trial's competition format had been determined: one hundred and twenty-eight people would be paired randomly, not in the order of ranking, and the top ten would be determined by seven rounds of eliminations.

However, another link is added: after the finals, the top ten will be selected first, and then there will be a challenge session. Only after passing the challenge can the ranking be finally determined.

Qin Tiexin asked about the specific rules of the challenge.

Lin Chuan said that it has not been announced yet and we will have to wait until the event to find out.

Qin Tiexin responded and closed the transmission.

There are 128 people in seven knockout rounds, which means that he has to win at least four games in a row to have a chance to enter the top ten.

Although it is said that the matches are not based on ranking order and are randomly matched, the opponents will definitely become stronger the further you go, and you should be prepared to encounter strong enemies in the first few rounds.

Moreover, the group competition will probably not have as many restrictions as Skills Trial. By then, there should be many people like Qian Donglai who rely on financial resources to defeat people.

If you want to get a good ranking, you have to work hard every time.

On the evening of the last day, Qin Tiexin prepared everything that needed to be prepared. The Zen staff was wiped, Star Scar checked it again, several bottles of elixirs were prepared, and the things in Storage Bag were organized.

He sat in the yard, closed his eyes and regulated his breath.

Tomorrow will be Arena Trial.

Qin Tiexin turned around and shouted to Ming'an who had just finished reciting the sutra.

"Ming'an, senior brother will take you to watch the arena match tomorrow, okay?"

"Really? Senior brother?" Ming'an said in surprise.
