The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 70: Prizes and Selection Jade Keys (1)

"Well, the prizes for each key will be drawn now! Also being revealed here on the spot. However, the prizes of each tier remained a mystery, only the winner of each tier can get the prize. Also, if none of the invited martial cultivators can beat the disciple of our sect, that disciple can get the prize. The disciples of our sect must win at least 10 battles. The lost martial cultivators can compete among the losers for one more chance to fight the disciples of our sect. Or they can challenge another volunteer cultivator to take his place and challenge our disciples. This is a tournament that is not aimed at anyone's death, so once the judges decide that the match is over, then the match is no use, "Hong Yu said shaking his hand and 27 chests came out of his ring, they were large and others were small that fit in the palm of the hand. 

The 27 chests were divided into three different designed ones, there were the small ones that had an intricate lock made of silver and gold, there were the large ones made of jade and there were the middle ones made of wood with a common lock.

"The chests have a key each and they are all the same size. This key is made of special material, each has a small matrix that corresponds to one of these chests. Not only are they the same size, but they also have the same color and weight. "Hong Yu said that with a smile on his handsome face, clearly, he was enjoying seeing the greedy eyes of his junior disciples and wandering cultivators. 

He placed the keys in a large closed box, so Elder Huang and Elder Bai were called on to pass the box to each of the disciples, thus showing that there was no way Hong Yu is favoring anyone.

All the disciples of the Celestial Sword sect formed a diagonal line, so the two Elders passed with the box and each disciple put his hand and took a key, of the 27 disciples only two did not get nervous. One was the extraordinarily beautiful Qi Meiying and the simple Zemin Yan, incredibly, they both didn't care about the prizes that ended up in their hands because they already had everything.

Of course, Qi Meiying is a female disciple who has the same status as Yu San and Hong Yu, she is only participating in this tournament to fill the last place since they didn't have enough numbers to separate everything right. So the prizes weren't very relevant to her, since Zemin Yan, he literally has so many items that hardly any random items from a small tournament will catch his eye.

It wasn't the same as when he was in the business district, where he was excited to know and explore everything, since it was a lively district, even though he wanted to buy something was to study the items and compare with the information he had on his jade records. It wasn't something he really coveted, but there were few things that would make him covetous.

First, Zemin Yan does not have much information about many items, as he had a lot to study. Secondly, he was 10 years old so he still didn't have a great idea about the value of the items. It is worth remembering that he grew up much of his short isolated life in a small village.

An example of his cluelessness is how he distributes or shares his stuff with his friends, especially Yi Yuga and Chu Yue, such as pills and martial arts books, which would be invaluable if put up for sale.

Probably in the future, Zemin Yan will be a little more shocked by his incredible fortune and will be much more careful with what he takes from his space ring.

"Now just put some of your spiritual energy in the key. For those who do not understand this just imagine in your mind running water, or when the water runs down your hands. Spiritual energy gives this feeling of water running down your hands or sweat" Hong Yu's voice was kind and guided the new disciples to utilize their spiritual energy. 

Most knew they had spiritual energy, which was different from heavenly Qi, which is what cultivators absorb to strengthen the body. However, spiritual energy is something that is within the cultivators and which develops more and more as the cultivators increase the level of their cultivation and train their soul energy. This spiritual energy is used to control the elements or other forms of energy that are outside the body. Depending on the path of cultivation, spiritual energy can be used to generate power within one's own body to subdue power outside it. 

In the future, the author will talk more about spiritual energy and the wizarding system of the Continent of humanity.

Chu Yue, who had no clue about spiritual energy, but had learned a little how to manipulate the elements of light and dark, with the manual that her friend Zemin Yan had given her almost a fortnight ago, closed her eyes and followed Hong Yu's instructions. Gray energy, as if the whites of light and the darkness of darkness had merged, then its energy was the color of a metallic gray. 

Just as Hong Yu had said that energy comes out softly like water dripping from her little fingers, so the key shone and its shape changed into a small black and white key coloring the jade.

Not only did Chu Yue's key change shape and color, but everyone's key had changed, the one that most easily managed to change the key was Qi Meiying and the slowest one was Wen Jie. It should be taken into account that Wen Jie lived in a small village for all his 16 years old, so he had more difficulty controlling his spiritual energy, in fact, he had no idea what that energy was. Also, his mind was less malleable than a child with a 10-year-old who is willing to listen to everything adults have to say.
