The moment this idea came to mind, Li Yunjing's mind was suddenly opened.

After observing and feeling it more carefully again.

Li Yunjing was certain that this cup of Jade Nectar was not poison.

At this moment, the weasel-faced cultivator opposite spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, there are fifteen breaths left."

Li Yunjing looked at the cultivator and smiled.

You lost.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

"What makes you say such a thing, fellow Daoist? Have you gone mad?"

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Your Jade Nectar is not poison at all."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator opposite him immediately changed his expression.

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

"Not poison? How is that possible?"

"Senior Xu's Law Technique is renowned; it couldn't possibly be fake!"

"..."

In Xunxian Town,

Wang Qianxue and the others were also immediately intrigued.

Li Yunjing dared to say that because he had truly found the key.

Sikong Ying muttered to himself.

"It's not poison, that's certainly possible, but I dare not gamble..."

On the arena, the cultivator surnamed Xu forced himself to respond:

"What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Li Yunjing remained silent, simply waiting for time to pass.

Soon, thirty breaths had passed.

This has exceeded the limit mentioned by the cultivator surnamed Xu.

Li Yunjing, however, remained standing steadily, his eyes bright and his aura stable.

They were completely unaffected by the so-called poison.

Seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Xu smiled helplessly, "I've lost."

The cultivator surnamed Xu voluntarily conceded defeat, then bowed to Zuo Zimu and jumped off the arena.

Li Yunjing bowed to the person opposite him and then went to rest for the time being.

Back in Xunxian Town, everyone immediately gathered around.

"Yunjing, how did you discover that it wasn't poison?"

"Yes, even Senior Sikong was fooled."

"If that's not poison, then what is it?"

"..."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Li Yunjing simply gave a brief explanation.

That cup of Jade Nectar was nothing more than a numbing drug.

After drinking it, the cultivator's senses will be paralyzed, making them feel that they have indeed been poisoned.

In addition, the misleading words of the cultivator surnamed Xu, as well as the verbal pressure,

This will make the opponent extremely nervous.

For example, Sikong Ying,

Sikong Ying also felt that her Law Power was flowing smoothly, and she did not feel like she had been poisoned at all.

But Sikong Ying didn't dare gamble that she really wasn't poisoned.

The time was almost up.

If he makes the wrong bet, then Sikong Ying will be truly finished.

Li Yunjing was able to form First-Grade Golden Core because...

Basic attributes are the limit for others.

Therefore, Li Yunjing was able to perceive more and thus determine that the Jade Nectar was not poison.

After a short rest, Li Yunjing went on stage again.

This time, it was the turn of Xunxian Town to set the questions.

Li Yunjing had already thought of a question.

Li Yunjing patted the Storage Bag at his waist.

Five streaks of light flew out and swirled around Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing waved his right hand, and five streams of light instantly landed on one side of the arena, forming a circle.

It landed firmly on the ground, and in an instant, an array was set up.

"This is the Heaven-Locking Formation. Fellow Daoists from Half-Spirit Valley may enter the formation. If you can break the formation, I will consider it a loss," Li Yunjing said.

"I wonder which fellow Daoist would be willing to give it a try?"

After Li Yunjing finished speaking, there was still no movement from the Half-Spirit Valley.

Zuo Zimu looked around and finally gestured for one person to go.

"I'll do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with a body as thick as an iron tower jumped onto the ring.

This man had a muscular, steel-like body, bronze in color, and was shirtless.

Li Yunjing glanced at the burly man and then gestured for him to give it a try.

The burly man walked directly into the formation set up by Li Yunjing.

With his hands forming a hand Hand Seals, the cultivator suddenly emitted Golden Light.

Li Yunjing smiled; he was very familiar with the starting stance of this Law Technique.

"Earth Escape Technique).

Nangong Chengyu knows this Law Technique.

Li Yunjing had been pestering him, wanting to learn from him.

However, this method is very energy-intensive and has many drawbacks.

Nangong Chengyu did not pass on the knowledge to Li Yunjing.

However, Li Yunjing had also seen Nangong Chengyu use it before, so Li Yunjing was very familiar with the starting stance of the Earth Escape Technique.

Without further ado, Li Yunjing pointed at the burly man's feet.

It refers to the ground turning into steel.

In an instant, the burly man seemed to have crashed into a steel wall.

"Ouch."

The burly man tripped and fell on his backside; his Earth Escape Technique is a Chinese idiom

The "Turning the Earth into Steel" technique is best suited to countering Earth Escape Technique.

The burly man glanced at Li Yunjing with some annoyance.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing could actually turn the ground into steel.

Moreover, his cultivation level is higher than mine.

His own ground escape technique had no effect at all in front of Zhidi Chenggang.

And his specialty was the Earth Escape Technique- a technique involving escaping underground).

Now that their key weapon had been taken away, the burly man looked at the Heaven-Locking Formation had trapped him.

This formation is magnificent and awe-inspiring.

It's clearly a Rank 3 formation.

It's probably not going to work if we try to break it with brute force.

After a brief attempt, the burly man immediately admitted defeat.

He was helpless against this formation.

The strong man's concesion greatly increased the chances of Xunxian Town winning the second round.

In Xunxian Town, everyone clenched their hands in excitement.

They were all praying silently.

In contrast, Zuo Zimu had a gloomy expression.

What seemed like a sure thing turned out to be unexpected.

Zuo Zimu looked around again and designated someone to break Li Yunjing's formation.

The second person appeared and politely bowed to Li Yunjing.

Without saying a word, he directly entered Li Yunjing's Heaven-Locking Formation.

Li Yunjing smiled as he looked at the person in the formation.

Li Yunjing was confident that only a few people on the other side could break his formation.

For example, Zuo Zimu, and several other high-ranking members of Half-Spirit Valley.

The Heaven-Locking Formation set up by Li Yunjing was merely a formation Li Yunjing casually arranged.

It can only be considered a first-grade ordinary formation.

The name "Heaven-Locking Formation" was also something Li Yunjing came up with on the spot.

Even so, breaking this formation is extremely difficult.

This formation was created with Li Yunjing himself as its core.

In other words, to break the formation, one must first have a higher cultivation level than Li Yunjing.

Or, like that burly man before, he might Earth Escape Technique.

But let's set aside the fact that there are several people in the opposite Half-Spirit Valley with higher cultivation levels than Li Yunjing.

Even if one's cultivation level is higher than Li Yunjing's, one still needs to have a certain understanding of formations.

The general layout of this formation is clear.

Otherwise, even if one's cultivation level is higher than Li Yunjing's, it's not certain that they could break the code.

Unless one's cultivation level is significantly higher than Li Yunjing's, one cannot simply break through with brute force.

Li Yunjing was certain that Zuo Zimu and the others capable of breaking the formation would not intervene.

So, I still won this round.

As expected, the second person from Half-Spirit Valley studied the formation for a long time but still couldn't find the key and couldn't break Li Yunjing's formation, so he had to admit defeat.

As this person conceded defeat, Zuo Zimu's face darkened to an extreme.

This person is also a formation master from the Half-Spirit Valley.

Although he was only a novice, the other array masters in Half-Spirit Valley were even more pathetic.

The core of Half-Spirit Valley is not to train array masters.

Instead, it trains Alchemist.

Therefore, once the second person leaves the field, sending in someone else will be of no use.

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Zimu once again selected someone to break Li Yunjing's formation.

This person chose brute force.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was not as high as Li Yunjing's, and he failed.

Ultimately, this person exhausted all his methods and Law Power, yet he remained trapped within the formation.

All three failed, Half-Spirit Valley could no longer send anyone else.

In the second round, Half-Spirit Valley suffered another defeat.

The people of Xunxian Town immediately cheered with joy.

No one expected that the situation, which was initially thought to be unfavorable, would suddenly turn around.

Trailing 1-2, they now lead 3-2.

The next sentence leads to the key sentence about Xunxian Town.

If they win, Xunxian Town will gain control of Half-Spirit Valley's territory.

If they fail to win, the chances of Xunxian Town losing by the seventh round are very high.

"Yunjing, get some rest and try to win the next game."

"Don't rush, don't put pressure on yourself."

"..."

The people of Xunxian Town surrounded Li Yunjing, trying their best to make Li Yunjing relax.
