Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 64 — Competition Started
Zhou Yuan glanced at the surrounding situation for a moment before being forced to finally nod, confirming Linxia's words that he had already promised with him in this competition.
"Ah what a pity then, Miss Yue maybe we can cooperate another time..." Xi Yan remained calm despite his offer to reject Linxia, but Zhou Yuan who saw him well could feel the young man's dislike for him.
Not only that, the participants who came from the Green Bamboo sect disciples were especially male all looking at Zhou Yuan with dislikeful gazes, not even the least of which was emitting hatred towards him.
Those who were heartbroken were the ones who put their hearts on Linxia, seeing himself with the girl certainly made others jealous and looked at Zhou Yuan with hostility.
"You're good at being able to see the situation as well?" Linxia smiled sinisterly glanced at Zhou Yuan who was sighing after Xi Yan left.
"Can I shake my head with such a situation?" Zhou Yuan snorted softly, annoyed at being played with the girl in front of him.
"No need to be angry, you have big business with me and I hope you play the scenario I made. You may reject it and I'm sure you know the risk, I'll tell the others what happened between us before..."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, obviously the girl did not know that the person talking to her was now her own potential fiance.
Zhou Yuan was not afraid of Linxia's threat but he was unwilling to accept the risk that the girl said, Zhou Yuan did not want the events of her peeping bath to be spread to the others.
Not only was his good name tainted but the Zhou Family would also be involved especially given the considerable status of Linxia here.
After all Zhou Yuan realized his mistake with the girl, even if the incident was done accidentally but he would be responsible as long as the girl had no intention of killing anymore.
Zhou Yuan's attention to Linxia was distracted as he turned to a group of participants who had just entered the field.
The group was oddly spotted wearing a black robe with a hood covering its face. Zhou Yuan frowned as he tried to feel the extent of their strength.
'Isn't the most talented young generation here Xi Yan, why are those people at the level of the Golden Realm?'
In fact, it was not only Zhou Yuan who turned to the hooded group that had a mysterious impression but all the participants who were there.
Actually the hooded group hid the level of his strength with a special technique, the participants were no one could feel his strength and it seemed like the organizers did not see it either.
Zhou Yuan might be an exception because of his experience in the first life, from his teacher Zhou Yuan could feel one's strength even if his level was above it.
The number of hooded groups was around twenty people, they did not greet the others or familiar made his mysterious impression even more visible.
Zhou Yuan's attention only ended momentarily towards the group as not long ago, Sect Patriarch Yue Luo entered the small stage after all the participants had gathered in the field.
"First of all I say thank you to the young people who came and participated in this competition, the orchid competition has not been held for a long time and now after a long wait, it has been, we are reorganizing with the aim of searching for the talents of the younger generation who are in the Moon Empire..."
Yue Luo opened the competition event by revealing the history and understanding of the competition looking for the orchid of the month.
Next Yue Luo explained the rules as well as the things that the participants had to do when the competition would start.
The first is part of the competition rules, participants are prohibited from fighting each other, hurting let alone killing other participants.
Those who violate will be immediately disqualified, not only that, he will be exposed to penalties and fines that are quite serious depending on the level of violations committed.
In addition to the explanation of the rules, Yue Luo also gave instructions to search for the Moon Orchid plant. He even revealed paintings of Orchids of the Moon to the participants in order to know the clear picture of the flower.
Moon Orchid flowers are actually almost the same as ordinary orchids, the difference is that the orchid has a golden color of its flower petals, in addition to the Moon Orchid has a special ability that can glow at night.
Since the Bamboo Mountain was so vast Yue Luo gave another hint for the participants to find it easier, the feature was that there would be a lot of light somewhere when one was already near the Moon Orchid.
The most frequent are fireflies, it is said that they are very fond of the light of the Moon Orchid when it blooms, the more fireflies somewhere then there is a possibility of the Moon Orchid there.
Although this clue is not always true but there is at least a little chance that they can find it.
Yue Luo also reminded that there were demons and ferocious beasts on the bamboo mountain so that the participants had to be careful and vigilant, not to mention the terrain on the bamboo mountain was quite steep, there were some ravines present there.
The last thing Yue Luo discussed was the prize that would be obtained for the winner, excluding the Moon Orchid as the main prize, there was another prize in the form of first-class heirlooms and big money is quite high.
"Heirlooms and money may not be very attractive to me but not to the Moon Orchid. I have to get it..." Zhou Yuan muttered softly.
Moon Orchids have properties that can make it easier for someone to break through to the next stage without significant effort.
Actually, not only the younger generation who want the Moon Orchid but the adult swordsman also no less want to get it.
The Moon Orchid Plant was very useful for warriors who were at the lower level of the Golden Realm, while for those who were in the Crystal Realm let alone the Light Realm, it had no significant impact on it.
After his speech for a few minutes, it finally arrived at the turn of opening the gate towards the Bamboo Mountain.
Bamboo Mountain was located at the back of the sect, although it was very near that mountain should not be visited by just anyone even by sect elders.
Yue Luo gave a gesture by raising her hand before then the gate that bounded the sect and the bamboo mountain opened slowly.
Not yet the gate was perfectly open already many participants who entered into. The opening of the gate indicates the competition has already begun.
Slowly the number of participants in the field began to decrease, most of them moving into the mountain with a slight rush.
"Are you sure we're not moving right now?"
Zhou Yuan glanced at Linxia from the corner of his eyes, if not for the girl he might have already entered the Bamboo Mountain with the other participants.
"There's no need to rush I just don't want to be with the others. The competition time is almost two weeks, do you think the Moon Orchid will be found on the first day?"
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly but had no intention of answering, there was of course a strong reason why this competition was given such a long time because searching for the Moon Orchid was very difficult to find and not limited to relying on luck.
