At this moment, the gazes of the top ten disciples were all attracted by the twenty-seven Spirit Pearls.
Their eyes were also filled with shock.
Leng Ninghua and Wu Qiu had only obtained twenty-five Spirit Pearls. Fang Chen had withdrawn from the event a few days ago, but he had obtained twenty-seven Spirit Pearls.
What's more, he got it all by himself. What a crazy concept!
Seeing the twenty-seven Spirit Pearls, even Leng Ninghua and Wu Qiu were a bit moved. They tried their best to suppress the shock in their hearts and shook their heads slightly, sighing.
They knew that in this event, it wasn't possible to obtain first place by relying on martial strength. It also required intelligence.
Although they were shocked that Fang Chen had obtained twenty-seven Spirit Pearls, they were still able to accept it when they thought about it carefully.
However, the others were different. They didn't think the same way.
Fang Chen being able to obtain so many Spirit Pearls was simply unimaginable.
"How is this possible? He can't possibly obtain so many Spirit Pearls! I don't believe it!" Some disciples directly roared in disbelief.
As for Qi Yang and Bu Han, their expressions were ugly. Their hearts were filled with anger. Fang Chen obtaining so many Spirit Pearls had infuriated them.
"Damn it!"
Bu Han was constantly cursing in his heart. His gaze was so vicious that it seemed like he wanted to kill Fang Chen.
After his shock, Elder Mo revealed a brilliant smile. He waved his hand and put away the Spirit Pearls. Then he laughed, "As expected of a disciple with shocking potential. Fang Chen, this old man didn't misjudge you."
Elder Mo then looked at the disciples and said, "Fang Chen obtained twenty-seven Spirit Pearls. His team has obtained first place in this event. The other teams will be pushed back by one place."
Hearing Elder Mo's words, Qi Yang and Bu Han became even more furious.
Just like that, Fang Chen had obtained first place. The third place that they had originally obtained had also disappeared.
"Damn it!"
Qi Yang was furious. Only the top three would be rewarded in this event. They were about to get the reward, but Fang Chen had interfered.
This made Qi Yang and Bu Han even more furious. They even regretted that they hadn't killed Fang Chen and snatched his Spirit Pearl back in the mountain range.
"Originally, we had a chance to win first place," Qi Yang and Bu Han thought at the same time.
If they had killed Fang Chen with lightning speed and snatched his Soul Pearl, they would have been the undisputed number one in this event. But now, they couldn't even keep their third place.
Some were angry, while others were happy.
At this moment, the happiest person was none other than Xing Feng. He hadn't placed much hope in Fang Chen to begin with. He had even attacked Fang Chen before the event.
Thinking of this, Xing Feng found it laughable.
"I'm really too childish," Xing Feng thought to himself as he laughed.
Elder Mo waved his hand, and the square instantly quieted down.
"Next, I will announce the rewards for the top three. The reward for the third place is a grade four spirit cultivation technique. The reward for the second place is a peak grade four cultivation technique. As for the first place, there is one condition. One condition that is within my ability. One condition."
Hearing Elder Mo's words, the few winners were full of smiles.
As for the others, their faces were filled with envy. As for Qi Yang and Bu Han, their hearts were filled with anger. A grade four spirit cultivation technique was important even to them.
"Fang Chen, just you wait."
In the end, the two of them vented all their anger on Fang Chen. They believed that Fang Chen was the main cause of all this.
"One day, I will make you beg for death," Qi Yang said in his heart.
As for Bu Han, his eyes flickered with murderous intent. He was already thinking about how he could kill Fang Chen without anyone noticing.
In the following time, the disciples in the last two groups went to receive their spirit cultivation techniques. As for Fang Chen and Xing Feng, they were called away by Elder Mo.
Within Elder Mo's study, Fang Chen and Xing Feng were calmly standing there.
"Speak. What conditions do you two have?" asked Elder Mo.
"Elder Mo, we can raise any conditions," said Xing Feng excitedly.
"Let's see," said Elder Mo.
Xing Feng pondered for a moment. In the end, he decided to ask for a spirit cultivation technique. After all, his main cultivation technique was a cultivation technique. Only a cultivation technique was most suitable for him.
"I want a cultivation technique," said Xing Feng.
Elder Mo nodded. "That's fine. But the highest grade can only be peak grade four."
"That's enough. Hahaha," said Xing Feng excitedly.
Elder Mo casually tossed a medallion to Xing Feng, telling him to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall and choose a cultivation technique.
After Xing Feng left, Elder Mo looked at Fang Chen and asked, "What about you?"
"Elder Mo, I won't be choosing a cultivation technique."
Fang Chen said with a smile. Truth be told, Fang Chen had initially considered choosing a spiritual cultivation method. However, after giving it some thought, he realized that although the Barren Sect was divided into three major schools, the Soul School was not that outstanding.
Although there were powerful soul cultivation techniques within the Soul School, for a true soul cultivator like Fang Chen, they weren't that useful.
The most important thing was to choose a cultivation technique that was most suitable for him. Otherwise, he would rather not have one. That was what Fang Chen thought.
Therefore, he gave up on choosing a cultivation technique.
"Oh, then what do you want?" asked Elder Mo as he looked at Fang Chen with interest.
"Elder Mo, I wonder if there are any Grandmaster Blacksmiths in our Barren Sect?" asked Fang Chen after pondering for a moment.
"Grandmaster Blacksmiths?" Hearing this, Elder Mo was a little surprised. He then asked, "You are looking for a Grandmaster Blacksmiths to refine a weapon?"
Fang Chen nodded his head in agreement. Elder Mo said, "Fang Chen, it is not easy to get a Grandmaster Blacksmiths to refine a weapon. You will have to pay a great price."
"There is no need for Elder Mo to worry about this." Fang Chen said.
Upon seeing this, Elder Mo said, "A Weapon Refining Great Grandmaster is considered a peak existence even in the Southern Mountain Land. My Desolate Sect does not have a Weapon Refining Great Grandmaster. However, there is a Weapon Refining Great Grandmaster in Water Leaning City. He can be considered to have some friendship with me. If you need, I can help you contact him."
"Then I'll have to thank Elder Mo." Fang Chen cupped his hands in thanks.
"This is what you deserve. Go back and wait for my news." said Elder Mo.
Fang Chen nodded his head and turned to leave.
Fang Chen's greatest harvest from this event was naturally the Golden Quicksand and the powerful killing move.
However, the killing move could not be used casually. The price to pay was too great. However, its power was really great. When it was used, it instantly killed Pu Han.
Fang Chen's cultivation had already reached a bottleneck. Therefore, he temporarily gave up on cultivating. Instead, he prepared to strengthen his weapon. Otherwise, he would be letting down the Golden Quicksand.
This event allowed Fang Chen to gain some fame in the Spirit Stream. Many disciples remembered Fang Chen's name.
In this event, more than a dozen disciples had died in the mountain range. The upper echelons of the Spirit Stream did not investigate how these disciples died.
As a disciple of the Barren Sect, if he could not even withstand such a small test, then what was the use of having him?
A large Sect like the Barren Sect was not used to raise trash. Instead, it was used to nurture elites.
As for Pu Yang and Pu Han, Jin Qiang had told him that they were killed by Fang Chen. If it was before, Elder Mo might have punished Fang Chen. However, ever since he found out about the mysterious almighty behind Fang Chen, he naturally gave up on this decision.
Moreover, from the fact that Fang Chen was able to obtain twenty-seven Spirit Pearls alone, Elder Mo was very satisfied with Fang Chen's performance.
Fang Chen's potential was much better than he had expected. He had already treated Fang Chen as a seed disciple of the Spirit Stream and was prepared to nurture him with all his might.
In the past few days after returning from the mountain range, Fang Chen had been studying the Minor Success Sword Body.
Although the Minor Success Sword Body was incomplete, it was still very suitable for Fang Chen to cultivate.
When Fang Chen transformed into a Sword Body, his Dao Body had reached Four Stars. Therefore, it was very easy for him to cultivate the Minor Success Sword Body.
It didn't take long for him to reach the Minor Success Sword Body.
After reaching the Minor Success Sword Body, Fang Chen felt that his Sword Body had become even more powerful. Now, with just a thought, he could activate the Sword Body. The Sword Intent was even more illusory and the aura was even more harmonious.
However, as his Sword Body improved, Fang Chen realized that the illusory aura was slowly unable to keep up with the strength of his Sword Intent.
It was fine for a short period of time. However, as time passed, cracks would definitely appear between the two, causing them to be unable to fuse.
Therefore, Fang Chen decided that if he had time, he would head to Luishui City to purchase some illusory herbs to consume.
After all, the Illusory Sword Path was not only powerful, but it could also confuse enemies. It was very suitable for Fang Chen to cultivate.
Three days later, Fang Chen received news from Elder Mo that the Weapon Refining Grandmaster in Luishui City had been contacted.
Furthermore, Elder Mo had also told the Weapon Refining Grandmaster to ask Fang Chen to head over when he had time.
However, Elder Mo also confessed to Fang Chen that the Weapon Refining Grandmaster's personality was a little strange. He couldn't guarantee that the Weapon Refining Grandmaster would refine a weapon for Fang Chen.
Of course, as long as he could contact the Weapon Refining Grandmaster, that was enough. Fang Chen could handle the rest by himself.
"I'd better head over as soon as possible," Fang Chen thought after receiving the news.
However, just as Fang Chen was about to leave, Xing Feng arrived.
"Fang Chen," Xing Feng called out.
"Xing Feng?" Fang Chen was a little puzzled when he saw Xing Feng.
"Fang Chen, thank you so much for this activity. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such a good Mind Cultivation Technique." Xing Feng cupped his hands and thanked Fang Chen.
"Even though I treated you like that before, you still disregarded our past enmity and teamed up with me." Before Xing Feng could finish speaking, Fang Chen interrupted him.
Fang Chen said, "There's no need for that."
Xing Feng laughed mischievously. The more he interacted with Fang Chen, the more Xing Feng realized that Fang Chen was actually quite charming and suited to be a boss. He had already made up his mind to follow Fang Chen in the future.
"You definitely didn't come to find me just to talk about this, right?" Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, Xing Feng slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about the important matter."
"When I went down the mountain yesterday, I met two Martial Path disciples. One of them was a good friend of mine, and the other seemed to be called Long Teng. After we chatted for a while, Long Teng realized that I knew you and our relationship wasn't bad, so he wanted me to pass on a message to you," said Xing Feng.
"What message?" Fang Chen asked.
