Chapter 540 The Smell of Meat Buns
[For a second, I wondered if the Free and Unfettered Sect was even a sect. How could they attract cultivators when they were so poor? And why would anyone want to join?]
Hmm, actually, everyone doesn't need to be so strict. In the videos of other cultivators exploring the sect a few months ago, the Free and Unfettered Sect was still dirt poor and had nothing. Now, it has quite a few buildings, although they look like half-finished products. At least it's something, right?
Hey photographer! Could you tilt the camera a little to the left? I really want to see the sacred field next to us.
These buildings are indeed bizarre in style, but they are truly enormous.
The Free and Unfettered Sect occupies a vast area; it seems this entire mountain range belongs to them.
Could it be that the sect used all its money to buy land?
[I don't understand. I've been looking at all these strange buildings for ages. It's boring. I'm going to another sect's live stream.]
Many netizens joined the live stream on a whim, glancing at what they wanted to see and then leaving.
People came and went in the live stream, but it quickly returned to its quiet state.
Only one netizen kept posting comments in the live chat, showing a persistent and unwavering spirit.
[Damn monster ruined my graduation project: Just look at it, cameraman, please, just let me see it, please turn to the side a little and give Lingtian a close-up, okay?]
The number of viewers in the live stream gradually decreased.
There are significant differences between the sect competition and the academy competition. The academy competition uses holographic technology, while the sect competition has a physical venue.
Each state has its own competition venues for the sect competition. For example, as various sects arrive in Yangzhou, the live broadcast has shifted its focus from the sects themselves to the disciples entering the venue.
"Senior Sister Hua, I feel like there are so many competitors this year, the pressure is a bit much."
"Haha, Junior Sister Yuemin, you are recognized as the number one medical cultivator in the cultivation world. Don't be modest. Besides, we have Senior Sister Hua protecting us. Don't you think so, Senior Sister Hua?"
“Hmm.” Ying Fengyi stood at the very front of Lingyun Sect.
The entrance venue for the sect competition is somewhat similar to the Roman Colosseum. Sect cultivators enter one by one from under the circular building. The venue is not open-air but enclosed, with countless lights appearing on the circular ceiling.
The Lingyun Sect cultivators stood in neat rows, all dressed in yellow robes with black trim.
After Lingyun Sect entered, the audience sitting on the high platform cheered in unison.
Lingyun Sect is a major sect in the cultivation world.
Among the four major sects, Lingyun Sect frequently appears in the cultivators' field of vision, mainly playing a leading role. In addition, with a large number of sect members and numerous positive events trending on social media, Lingyun Sect has always been seen as the leader of the righteous path in the cultivation world.
"Look, Fellow Daoist Hua! So cool! I've always heard that Fellow Daoist Hua has a Light Spirit Root, but I've never seen him before. Today, I can see that he is truly extraordinary. He is graceful and has the power to move mountains and seas with every move."
"As expected of the chief."
"And there's Xiao Yuemin from the Lingyun Sect. I heard that her hands have saved tens of thousands of cultivators; she's a medical genius of our time."
"When I graduate, I want to join the Lingyun Sect. There are so many powerful people there. Just by looking around the ranks, you can see several Nascent Soul stage cultivators."
"A Nascent Soul stage cultivator in his early twenties, what else could he be but a prodigy?"
"You'll have to reach the Nascent Soul stage before you can participate in the Lingyun Sect's assessment. The Lingyun Sect's selection process for disciples is notoriously rigorous."
"That's right, look over there, the Blood Alliance has entered as well."
"The Blood Alliance is deserted. Who is that Jade-Faced Buddha?"
"Where is it? Let me see!"
……
The order in which sects appear is not fixed; some enter early and some enter late.
The Blood Alliance disciples entered precisely at the top of the hour. As soon as they entered, although the audience on the stage did not show the same enthusiasm as when they welcomed the Lingyun Sect, many cultivators still focused their attention on them.
The number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Blood Alliance is about the same as that in the Lingyun Sect, and their lineup is also more organized.
Kongji held Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, her smile gentle and her beauty exquisite.
He stood in the middle of the group, but amidst the sea of black clothing, the first thing the audience noticed was the serene emptiness within the group.
He was dressed in the same black robes, and with his outstanding appearance, all eyes were drawn to him.
But when the audience tried to get a closer look at the desolate scene, they couldn't see it clearly at all, as if looking at flowers through the fog, extremely hazy.
They only remembered that Kong Ji was extremely handsome; as for other impressions, they couldn't recall anything else.
Both the Lingyun Sect and the Blood Alliance entered the arena. During this time, the Hehuan Sect cultivators also landed on flower petals, making a unique entrance that left a lingering fragrance wherever they went.
The Divine Cult's appearance was both low-key and high-profile. Every cultivator wore a heavy white robe that covered almost all exposed skin from head to toe. Their group remained completely silent throughout, perfectly matching the image of the Divine Cult in the minds of netizens.
Mysterious and powerful.
As the sects entered one after another, the people of the Xiaoyao Sect, who were about a mile away, were queuing up in a long line. Of course, there were also a few cultivators from the Qi Sect in the line.
"It smells so good, a hot breakfast!"
"The meat filling in this bun bursts with juice when you bite into it, it's absolutely divine!"
"Hurry up, grab the buns and go. Don't forget we have to go to the arena for the sect competition today."
"I almost forgot, I'll eat as I walk."
"Stop eating. It's a time like this. Let's go."
"Do you dare say you could resist eating the steamed buns you get?"
"I……"
"See, you can't do it either, bro, wait for me a minute."
Big Knife intended to pull Big Sword away, but the gluttonous boy started eating right there on the spot.
Da Dao glanced at Xia Dong. Well, this guy is eating too. He can't be counted on at all.
The cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect and the Weapon Sect dawdled as they entered, and by the time they did, a strong smell of meat buns wafted into the air with their movements.
"What? Can you smell something? It smells nice."
"What's that smell? Isn't it just the body fragrance of a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect?"
"No, it's not the right taste, it's just... how should I put it..."
"Wait, I think I can smell it too, it smells so good."
"Which sect brought this over? It smells amazing."
"I can't take it anymore, I feel a bit hungry, what's wrong with me?"
When the sects entered, the Free and Unfettered Sect and the Weapon Sect arrived late. Not only was Jiang He holding a large steamed bun, but the other cultivators were also holding one or two steamed buns.
The aroma of the meat buns is simply unbeatable.
Before the members of the Free and Unfettered Sect even stepped into the arena, the fragrant aroma of meat buns had already spread for miles.
The spectators in the stands were drooling, hurriedly searching for the source of the aroma, while the cultivators from other sects focused their attention on the group from the Free and Unfettered Sect who had just entered.
"What a vulgar smell! How dare it overpower the rose fragrance I specially mixed yesterday!"
Ye Qingti looked down at the cultivators entering the arena.
The monks in this group did not have uniform attire; their clothing varied.
What they had in common was that they were all holding a white, spherical food in their hands.
