Chapter 98

At this moment, the old woman stared at Lu Mingshi and let out a hoarse voice.

"Junior Brother Lu, why did you bring two new disciples this year? Oh? There's even a Seventh Stage Qi Cultivation kid! How... Is it that your Luofu Peak really has no one, or are you planning to admit defeat?"

As soon as she spoke, the old woman began to mock Lu Mingshi.

The corner of Lu Mingshi's mouth twitched, and he said with a forced smile, "Senior Sister Shen, you really know how to joke. I don't think your Luoyan Peak's disciples are much stronger either!"

"Just one Ninth Stage Qi Cultivation and two Eighth Stage Qi Cultivation, that's all!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Luoyan Peak has been second to last among the seven peaks for several hundred years, right?!"

Lu Mingshi rolled his eyes and immediately shot back sarcastically.

In his view, the strength of the disciples from the two peaks was about the same.

He didn't have high hopes for Su Shier, but Han Yu and Xiao Yue were both trained by him.

In terms of cultivation and strength, they were absolutely not inferior!

He was very confident about this bet!

Shen?

She's also surnamed Shen?

Su Shier's body trembled slightly, and the image of Tianyin Peak's peak master, Shen Miaoyin, involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Second to last? Humph, that's still better than your Luofu Peak, which is dead last!"

"From your words, it seems you're very confident about this sparring match!" The old woman rolled her eyes and said irritably.

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Han Yu and Xiao Yue, revealing a sharp light in her eyes.

As for Su Shier, she only glanced at him once at the beginning and didn't look at him again, making it hard to guess her thoughts.

"Not at all, not at all, I even sent a Seventh Stage Qi Cultivation disciple! This time, we're definitely going to lose!" Lu Mingshi pouted and pretended to be humble, quickly changing the subject.

Han Yu

</di>

and Xiao Yue were the key to his certain victory this time, and he didn't want the other side to pay too much attention to them.

As for the third person, he had no hope from the beginning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have completely ignored the bet for several years and left it entirely to Xiao Yue to find people.

"Enough, stop acting crazy in front of me, and don't waste time! How do you plan to conduct this bet sparring?" The peak master of Luoyan Peak rolled her eyes and said irritably.

The seven peak masters, having worked together for many years, basically understood each other. She naturally wouldn't believe Lu Mingshi's lies.

However, if Lu Mingshi had his plans, she naturally had her own.

"Let's follow the rules of the Seven Peaks Competition, with each pair competing in turn. The match ends when a point is made, and the winner is determined by the best two out of three! How about that?" Lu Mingshi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he quickly said.

"Best two out of three? It seems you've already calculated everything, old man. Fine, I'll go along with it!"

The old woman muttered to herself, turned to look at the three disciples behind her, and after a moment's thought, agreed.

Hearing this, Lu Mingshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seven Peaks Competition actually had another rule, which was a relay race. Each peak would send the same number of disciples, and the losers would be eliminated, while the winners would continue fighting until all were defeated.

Looking at the peak master of Luoyan Peak, Lu Mingshi then rubbed his hands together: "Senior Sister, the stakes for this bet..."

"Humph, you just said you had no confidence to win?!" The old woman grunted.

Lu Mingshi just chuckled and remained silent.

If he really had no confidence, he wouldn't have come to make this bet!

The peak master of Luoyan Peak shook her head and raised her hand.

A hundred streams of light flashed and landed on a stone table not far away.

Immediately, the stone table was filled with over a hundred pieces of mineral and spiritual materials, as well as two golden talismans.

The talismans floated an inch above the stone table, with a red pattern of a flying sword drawn on the talisman paper.

The spiritual energy flowed, containing astonishing destructive power.

Luliujin?!

And those talismans, with that luster, could they be second-grade supreme spiritual talismans?

Su Shier's gaze swept over, and his heart trembled.

From that small pile of mineral and spiritual materials, he immediately saw a golden stone. It was Luliujin.

Luliujin, needless to say, was the material he needed most now.

And a second-grade supreme talisman was comparable to a full-strength attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If he could somehow obtain some second-grade talismans, it would be a great help for self-preservation!

Su Shier's heart was secretly moved, but he also knew that second-grade talismans were different from first-grade ones. They were very difficult to refine, and even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were rare and valuable.

Seeing those two golden talismans, Lu Mingshi's eyes also lit up, and he showed a pleased expression.

Two second-grade supreme talismans were priceless, and even he was greatly moved.

"Have you had enough? Hurry up and put out your stakes!" The old woman glanced at Lu Mingshi and urged him irritably.

"Senior Sister, don't be in a hurry, everything is here!"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingshi threw out the same number of second-grade spiritual materials and a palm-sized hundred-year-old cold jade.

The cold jade had a smooth and lustrous surface, a very rare third-grade spiritual material. If not for this, Fu Boren from Tianhua Peak wouldn't have bet the Purple Thunder Sword against this cold jade with Lu Mingshi.

The peak master of Luoyan Peak stared at the cold jade for a moment, clearly also somewhat moved.

Nodding, she turned to look at the disciple dressed as a scholar, who was at the peak of Ninth Stage Qi Cultivation.

"Jiang Feng, you go first for the first match!"

"Disciple understands!"

The disciple named Jiang Feng nodded and immediately stepped forward.

Seeing the other side send their highest-cultivation disciple for the first match, Lu Mingshi's eyes turned, and his gaze immediately fell on Su Shier.

In his view, Su Shier was the weakest on his side.

If Su Shier were to spar with the other side, the remaining two, whether Han Yu or Xiao Yue, would have a sure chance of winning.

With this thought, Lu Mingshi was about to speak.

But at that moment, the old woman sneered and said straightforwardly, "Junior Brother Lu, although this sparring match involves a bet, it is mainly to train the disciples for the Seven Peaks Competition in five years."

"If you play this silly trick of the weakest against the strongest, then this sparring match might as well not happen!"

The old woman's face turned cold as she spoke. She wasn't stupid and could see through Lu Mingshi's thoughts at a glance.

"Cough, cough... Senior Sister Shen, you misunderstood! I'm not a cunning person like Fu Boren. I'm an honest man, how could I play such a silly trick!"

Lu Mingshi's face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, then quickly turned to look at Han Yu.

"Yu'er, you go first for this match!"

"Okay!"

Han Yu nodded slightly, calmly stepped forward, and looked at his opponent with a somewhat disdainful gaze.

"You can start. The sparring match is limited to this area. Surrendering or stepping out of bounds counts as a loss!" The peak master of Luoyan Peak said indifferently, casually throwing out a blue talisman.

The talisman flashed, transforming into a translucent blue circular barrier that covered a circular area with a ten-zhang radius.
