"Now let's make a hypothetical scenario: if I could change your appearance to the level of Bai Feng while preserving all your martial arts skills, would you be willing?"
Yin Fu glanced at Bai Feng standing atop the tree and his lips twitched.
"This kind of thing"
Yin Fu was interrupted by Li Chengqian before he could finish speaking.
"Say it! Quickly tell me you don't want this!"
"The imperial power can be exchanged for rewards. The situation I just described, although it requires a lot of rewards, is not too much."
"A real man's word is his bond; once he's said something, he can't go back on his word!"
Li Chengqian's words left Yin Fu feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
What if Li Chengqian really does have this method?
What if I receive a lot of rewards afterward?
Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Yin Fu said with sharp eyes, "Mr. Li, has anyone told you this?"
"Your mouth is so annoying, so disgusting, I want to tear it to pieces."
"hehe!"
"You are not the first person to have this idea, nor will you be the last."
"But right now, Li's mouth is still intact, so you'll have to work even harder."
""
How arrogant! I really want to punch him!
Despite the murderous gazes of the crowd, Li Chengqian remained calm and composed.
"Alright everyone, you should continue your search for opportunities."
"There's less than half an hour left until the two-hour deadline, so you'd better hurry."
"And the second event is even more exciting!"
After saying that, Li Chengqian turned and walked down the mountain.
The three young masters, Zhao Gongzi and his companions, who had already finished their competition, naturally accompanied them as well.
""
I swear to God, if anyone beats Li up...
I'm willing to pay any price.
Of course, this excludes things like losing your life.
Chapter 438, Second Event: Imperial Cavalry Enters the Arena
After two hours of activity, the once beautiful green hills were now completely barren.
All the trees were felled and then dismembered into pieces.
Even the soil on the ground was turned over inch by inch.
Looking at the rewards on the list, some people looked resentful, while others were overjoyed.
"Grass!"
"A single copy of the Nine Yin Manual costs a thousand reward points? Why don't you just rob it!"
"Hahaha!"
"I've found eighteen golden needles! From now on, I'm the chief disciple of the Little Knife Sect!"
Meanwhile, the expressions of Young Master Zhao and his companions on the stone slab were also not good.
The results of this trip fell far short of the three's expectations.
The three biggest rewards on the rewards list are the Xia Ke Dao Tai Xuan Jing, the Chang Sheng Jue, and the Tian Chang Di Jiu Chang Chun Bu Lao Gong.
Given their discerning tastes, the other rewards were naturally beneath their notice.
Their only goals, from beginning to end, were the chance to obtain immortality and the final reward promised by Li Chengqian.
In the first event, Li Chengqian contributed a total of 10,000 reward points, originally thinking that he could get at least two or three thousand.
However, after a quick count, it turned out that none of the participating factions and individuals had accumulated more than a thousand reward points.
The Qin, Ming, and Song dynasties had the most.
The Qin Dynasty had 780 points, the Ming Dynasty had 690 points, and the Song Dynasty had 666 points.
After silently calculating the approximate numbers everyone received, Young Master Zhao said, "Mr. Li."
"You gave out 10,000 reward points in the first event, but as far as I know, all the rewards combined don't even add up to 8,000 points."
Upon hearing this, both Young Master Huang and his companion looked at Li Chengqian with expressions of frustration.
It seemed to be questioning whether Li Chengqian had cheated.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Hehehe!"
"Indeed, there are not 8,000 points; a total of 7,821 gold needles were found."
"As for the remaining two thousand cups and seventy-nine pieces, they haven't been found yet."
"I only said that the reward was 10,000 gold needles, but I didn't guarantee that these gold needles would be found."
"Besides, if you can't find it yourselves, you can't blame me."
""
That makes sense, but why does it feel like you did it on purpose?
Ignoring the resentful looks from the group, Li Chengqian stood up and looked down, saying something.
"The first event has ended. If you want to redeem your rewards, you can do so now."
"Of course, if the rewards you receive do not meet your expectations, you can continue to participate in the second event."
"However, let me state upfront that the second event will not be as easy as the first one."
"The upcoming activities could be fatal or seriously injured if you're not careful!"
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, a commotion immediately broke out below.
"Mr. Li, stop with the nonsense and just tell me the rules for the second event."
"Which of us doesn't make a living on the edge of a knife?"
"If we're afraid of dying, we might as well go back to farming!"
"That's right, I just got three gold needles from the event. Each gold needle is worth ten taels of gold."
"A tremendous opportunity is right in front of me. If I only take thirty taels of gold back, I will die with regrets."
Faced with everyone's insistence, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Since you are all so persistent, then I will not waste any more time."
"The second event is very simple; it's called 'Winner Takes All'!"
"Please look over there, everyone!"
As he spoke, Li Chengqian pointed to a large open space in the distance.
"That is where you will compete for the rewards; those who possess the golden needles may enter."
"You only need to stay inside for one hour, and then your reward will double."
Upon hearing this, some intelligent people immediately frowned.
"Mr. Li, this event is probably not that simple."
"Let's tell you all the other rules as well."
"Hehehe!"
"That's quite true, but only half true."
"Staying in the circle for a full hour can indeed double your rewards."
"But within the circle, they can compete with each other, and not only can they compete with each other."
"Moreover, teams can participate, as can national forces, but the maximum number of team members is three thousand."
Upon hearing this, some martial arts practitioners who had been blinded by rewards instantly sobered up.
Fighting is possible, with national powers participating.
That would mean that the imperial cavalry could also participate.
This is no joke, it can really kill people!
Facing the imperial cavalry head-on caused many martial arts practitioners to back down.
At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "Mr. Li, if we follow your rules..."
"If we stay peacefully in the circle for a full hour, wouldn't all the rewards be doubled?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.
"Yes, if you can stay together peacefully for an hour, you can achieve a win-win situation."
"At that time, everyone's rewards will be doubled."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people started to make a fuss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of Mr. Li's second event is to let us know that harmony is the most important thing."
"Whatever our past grievances may have, we should now unite as one."
"It's not too late to settle our scores after this event is over."
Those who possessed the golden needles were calling for peaceful coexistence, but those who didn't have the golden needles refused to comply.
"Mr. Li, what about those of us who don't have the golden needles? You can't be biased!"
"That's right, the principle of Ping An Inn has always been to treat everyone equally."
"You haven't forgotten about us, have you?"
