Chapter 290: 289, Sect Competition Chapter 290: 289, Sect Competition Seeing Song Yan Ning arrive at the competition site, everyone revealed a look of disdain.
“What a piece of trash even daring to attend the competition. Truly overestimating herself.”
“This time, no one is protecting you. Let’s see what you can do.”
“If it wasn’t for her, the last place would go to someone else. I guess she’d be dead the moment she stepped on the stage.”
“Dealing with such trash doesn’t even require blowing the dust off one’s hands, hahaha…”
Song Yan Ning smiled faintly, seeming completely unaware of what people were saying, and approached the elder in charge of the competition, “Disciple Song Ning, greetings to Elder You!” In addition to expelling the disciple who finished last in this sect competition, the main purpose was to select ten disciples to attend the disciple exchange meeting, the location of which was the Tianyi Sect.
Her mission was to eliminate Qin Mo from the Tianyi Sect, who she felt could very likely be Qin Yushen. If it really was him, she should abandon this mission, as Xue Qi had already failed hers, and her failure would at most deduct some points, which wouldn’t affect her much.
Elder You glanced at Song Yan Ning indifferently, “Each disciple must choose three out of five competitions: Alchemy, Array, Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, and Combat. Which three will you choose?”
Song Yan Ning thought for a moment, “Alchemy, Talisman Making, and Combat.”
Elder You nodded slightly and penned down the competitions under Song Ning’s name. Everyone knew that this was just a formality; a trash without a Spirit Root would make no difference whether she participated or not.
Song Yan Ning thanked him and walked to the side to wait for the competition to begin.
Once all the disciples had registered, the competition officially began, starting with talisman making.
Song Yan Ning walked to her designated spot and saw that the tools and materials for talisman making were already arranged on the table.
“Junior Sister Ning can also craft talismans? I’d be impressed if you even recognize these materials.” A mocking voice rose to Song Yan Ning’s left.
This was followed by a wave of laughter.
Song Yan Ning chose to ignore them; some people only get more unbearable the more you engage with them.
Seeing that Song Yan Ning didn’t respond, the people lost interest after a few remarks.
Elder You stepped onto the stage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, “As everyone can see, the materials for crafting a First-level Talisman are already on your tables. Our first competition is the crafting of a First-level Talisman. The faster the speed and the higher the quality of the talisman crafted, the higher the score. The competition starts now, with a time limit of two incense sticks for crafting a First-level Talisman.”
People began to grab their pens and started crafting their talismans. The main component of the talisman was the rune. Although it seemed simple, even a tiny deviation could render the entire talisman useless.
Song Yan Ning picked up a pen, dipped it in beast blood, and released a trace of Spiritual Power to start inscribing the rune on the talisman paper. Crafting a First-level Talisman posed no difficulty for her; ever since her rebirth as Song Yan Ning, she had inscribed countless talismans.
The pen moved across the talisman paper, and in just a moment, a First-level Talisman was completed.
Song Yan Ning looked at the talisman with satisfaction and put down her pen.
Elder You saw Song Yan Ning put down her pen and shook his head. He had known the outcome all too well; a trash without a Spirit Root, how could she possibly craft a First-level Talisman successfully?
“Elder You,” a middle-aged man in a blue robe, giving off an elegant and graceful aura, walked up to Elder You.
“Great Elder!” Seeing the newcomer, Elder You hurriedly paid his respects. The Great Elder was, besides the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master, the most powerful person in the Yunshan Sect; naturally, he dared not offend him.
