Chapter 1427 Treat Money Like Dirt
The first program of the opening ceremony was the concert by Dongfang Chanqin and Qin An. The result was very good, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Then the next stage was the sword dance performed by the eight hundred Cyan Sword Clansmen with national characteristics!
Naturally, the swords used by the dancers were their own Innate Azure Swords. The so-called Sword Dance was not for the dancers to dance with swords in their hands, but for them to control the Innate Azure Swords to float in the air to form various shapes. The aura of 800 flying swords moving together was very imposing. Qin An had never seen such a performance before. He was dumbfounded.
In the morning, Qin An had a feast for his eyes and had a better understanding of the culture of the Cyan Sword Clansmen.
This was a relatively ancient race. They had their own history and stories.
Qin An originally thought that the Azure Sword Clansmen were just a group of arrogant and arrogant disciples, but now he finally came to a realization and threw away his subjective consciousness. Actually, the Azure Sword Clansmen were also a very powerful race. They possessed their own unique abilities without using Sword Spirit Qi to cultivate, which was truly admirable.
On the other side, Princess Linghua was not in the mood to watch the performance. Her attention was always focused on Qin An.
Princess Linghua once had a complete impression of Qin An. In her eyes, Qin An was a relatively handsome and young ordinary Earth person.
But now, Princess Ling Hua had broken Qin An down and looked at him.
His nose, his mouth, his eyebrows, his chest, his lower abdomen, his back, his legs, his palms, his… buttocks.
Author Jiang Nan once wrote in "Young Men Here" that when one person breaks down another person to look, then she or he may be in love.
Princess Linghua did not know that there was a writer like Jiang Nan in the eastern lands before the end of the earth, so she naturally did not read that book.
Therefore, she did not know what her current behavior meant. She was just observing. This was her own wishful thinking. She was just observing. This was her greatest interest now.
A morning was pleasant for Qin An because he saw a lively performance.
An entire morning was torturous for Ling Hua, because the more she looked at it, the more impressed she was.
When the opening ceremony was finally over, but all the guests ate a little of their own food at the scene, the elimination round of the selection conference in the afternoon began.
This was also the main show of praise. Everyone knew Ling Hua's identity, and they also knew that Ling Hua's future man was likely to become the king of the Azure Sword Race. So, how could they not pay attention to her?
All the contestants entered the central plaza. Twenty thousand people packed almost every corner of the plaza.
Some staff members carried a total of 100 glowing mobile doors into the field from the passageways of the surrounding plazas, Qin An, who had already stood in the square, looked at the mobile doors curiously and discovered that they were like security checkpoints at the entrance to the railway station before the end of the world. They were the kind that would ring if they carried metal.
Ah? What was this all about?
In fact, many people were as confused as Qin An, not knowing what the elimination round was about.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the presiding examiner finally announced the rules of the competition on the podium.
"Brothers and sisters of the human race from all over the world, my name is Gao Qiu…"
Clay Horse!
Qin An's face turned green. Looking at the skinny man, he felt that his eggs hurt. What's wrong with calling him? He actually called him Gao Qiu. He was a powerful official at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the main villain of the Water Margin novels.
Gao Qiu did not feel that there was anything wrong with his name, but continued with a smile,
"Then we only eliminated five people for Lord Qin An's business in the poetry writing party yesterday, hahaha!"
Most people knew about this matter. Now, Gao Qiu smiled, indicating the official attitude, that is, let bygones be bygones.
Everyone originally thought that this matter would damage the image of the royal family, but even if they didn't say anything, the people already had a good initial impression of Qin An. After all, he was a man with the same singing ability as Chang Qin.
As a result, the four of them laughed in unison, and the atmosphere was very good.
Princess Linghua also smiled in the VIP room. She placed one hand on the table and pressed her palm against her chin. Her eyes became crescent-shaped and her face was crimson.
A person's mind is really complicated. In just a short day, he actually doesn't find Qin An annoying anymore.
She was not a human girl. She had a life span of several thousand years, so she wouldn't be unable to read her mind.
Although she hadn't reached the point of deep love, Ling Hua understood that she was already very interested in Qin An.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about what happened yesterday. Then let's talk about the rules of this elimination match.
Everyone might already know that Princess Ling Hua had already become a Sword God! It's the fiftieth Sword God that we already know! Her Sword God title was Ling Hua, so in the future, there would be an additional Sword God Ling Hua ranked at 50 on the Sword God Rankings!
As the princess of the Azure Sword Race, Ling Hua was already of marriageable age and needed a husband that matched her!
There is another important matter. Our King Dongchen is about to retire, so he needs an heir, and our people need a new king even more!
In the history of the Azure Sword Race, there has never been a record of a woman becoming a king. Therefore, even though Ling Hua is a Sword God, it is not easy for us to let her directly become a king.
However, Princess Linghua said that if she could not control the future king, she would leave the Azure Sword Race and walk the horizon as a Wandering Man! In that case, we will lose the protection of a Sword God.
Therefore, after discussing with King Dongchen, Princess Linghua decided that Princess Linghua's future husband would be the successor to the king. In other words, this time, she chose the future king of the Azure Sword Race. I believe this is also the reason why all the experts gathered in our Azure Sword City's territory a long time ago, right?
Haha, in short, once you are selected, no matter who you are, you will obtain tremendous benefits!
"It is said that there is no reward for not giving. Our examiner has decided after research that in this second round of elimination, we need to make everyone pay for something!"
Pay for something? Everyone on the field was a little dizzy, not knowing what to pay.
Gao Qiu pointed at the test doors, and then loudly said:
"See? This was the Sword Spirit Detection Gate! Sword soul fragments, Sword Soul Stones, Sword Spirit Stones, and even Sword God Stones could be detected! Of course, I don't think anyone will carry a legendary item like the Sword God Stone. In short, no matter what kind of spatial storage items or abilities you possess, you will not be able to evade the inspection of the Sword Spirit Detection Sect. Then what we need is all of your wealth! Before walking through the door, take out all the Sword Soul Fragments, Sword Soul Stones, and Sword Spirit Stones that you possess, and then give them to us. This is the registration fee for participating in the husband selection ceremony. No matter if you are eliminated or not, we will not return these wealth! Of course, some people might think that this request is too much, so you can immediately withdraw and not participate in the next princess contest!
Alright, the second round of elimination is so simple. Before dinner, everyone in the arena can think about it slowly. I think all of you masters should have the ability to store space, right? Treasures should also be carried with you. Whether or not you should use all of your strength to exchange for a chance to get close to the princess is the test you will face. "If you pass, the accommodation and meals for the next few days will naturally be provided by the Azure Sword Clan's Royal Palace. There's no need to worry about this!"
After Gao Qiu finished saying those words, the 20,000 contestants who were surrounded by the plaza were in an uproar!
How could this be? This was openly accumulating wealth!
Logically speaking, handing over all the Sword Soul Stones in his possession in exchange for the qualifications to participate in the competition was definitely worth it. After all, if he could become a man of the Sword God and become the king of the Azure Sword Race, this temptation would be too great!
However, everyone understood that there could only be one person in the first place, and not even a second runner-up would be born.
If he was eliminated in the end, could it be that the Sword Soul Stones he had accumulated for thousands of years or more would all be handed over to others?
Everyone had dreams of becoming a god, so almost all the races of the Sword Spirit Star would accumulate Sword Soul Stones and Sword Spirit Stones. They only hoped that they could gather 50,000 Sword Spirit Stones and have the luck to refine a Sword God Stone.
And how would he obtain 50,000 Sword Soul Stones? That was to kill millions of Sword Cultivator creatures, and then take out Sword Soul fragments from their bodies and slowly synthesize them. This was a path that had almost no end. Everyone was persisting, hoping that it could be accomplished in their lifetime. Was it necessary to abandon all their previous efforts and only exchange for one chance?
No one would hesitate, and even some emotional people began to curse in low voices.
Qin An was also very depressed at this time. He felt as if he had been schemed by Ling Hua.
She turned around and looked at Ling Hua who was sitting on the VIP seat. She was also looking at her, and her eyes almost lost their laughter.
As expected!
Qin An's guess was correct. This elimination title was thought up by Imperial Concubine Yan. With regard to the rules of the match against Qin An, it could be said that the others were only affected.
Didn't Qin An just earn a lot of money? In the words of Concubine Yan, not only did she make him spit out all of them, she also had to put her old books on the line. This move was a bit ruthless.
However … Qin An never felt that something like the Sword Soul Stone or the Sword Crystal Stone was a treasure, because like the Sword God, he possessed the Sword Qi of Colorful Light in his body, so it was easier to obtain these things.
Therefore, when high Qiu announced the start of the game, when everyone was hesitating to think, Qin An had been the first to walk to the closest door to him.
Ah?
What happened? Could it be that Qin An didn't bring the Sword Soul Stone with him?
Shouldn't be? Storage space is always carried around, who wouldn't put their treasures in storage space?
Just as Ling Hua was puzzled, the examiner over there had already taken the cloth bag that Qin An had handed over. After he opened it for examination, his expression immediately changed. It had been a long time since he had said a word.
Ling Hua stood up nervously. Although this place was only a few dozen meters away from Qin An's location, the Sword God who did not have vision could not see what was inside the bag.
Didn't Qin An have tens of thousands of Sword Soul Stones on him? Why did he only take out a small bag? Could it be that he had really entrusted the Sword Soul Stone to someone else for safekeeping? In the Xiao Clan?
Yes! It must be like this. He should also be afraid that he would be robbed, right? Smart. But smart is smart, Princess Linghua is a little disappointed. Originally, she wanted to see Qin An's painful appearance.
After Qin An handed over the small cloth bag, he directly walked past the detection door without any reaction. This meant that Qin An no longer had any sword soul fragments or sword spirit stones or sword soul stones on him.
After leaving the venue, Qin An returned to his VIP seat and smiled at Princess Ling Hua, "Alright, is today so easy? Is this the end?"
Princess Linghua rolled her eyes at him and said with disappointment, "Well, because today is the first day of the festival and the celebration on the streets is the most lively tonight, everyone can go shopping to experience the festive atmosphere. In short, the last two days are just elimination matches. Reducing the number of participants through various topics will be the most important thing when the arena is truly open."
"Oh, then we agreed earlier. You treat me to dinner and I'll help you cook. We should be able to leave early now, right? Let's go to the exchange market and see if there are any ingredients that I'm familiar with."
"You let this princess …"
"Hey, we are so familiar with each other. Can you stop talking about this princess? How boring is this? There is no class feeling at all!"
Class sentiment …
Ling Hua felt that Qin An's words were very interesting. She almost let out a smile on her deliberately pulled face. Fortunately, she managed to control it in the end.
"Are you asking me to personally go shopping with you?"
"What should I do if you don't go? I don't have any money with me, and you've exploited me! And you definitely don't know this secret. Food is spiritual. The ingredients you personally chose are the most delicious!"
Seeing Qin An's serious nonsense, Ling Hua finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, alright … Since it's a festival, this princess … my consciousness is that this miss! This miss doesn't mind going out shopping with you, but I just have to pay. You can do whatever you choose, I don't understand at all!"
"Haha, Little Sister is really magnanimous! Then let's go? Enter the special passageway to escape from the venue."
"Who is your little sister?"
"You … do you want to be my miss?"
On the other hand, Zeng Huan finally interrupted, "Our princess is Miss!"
"Yeah, what's wrong with me being your young miss?"
"But … I don't have any money left?"
"What does this have to do with money? I don't need you to pay anything."
Looking at the vowed master and servant, Qin An sighed sadly and said, "Alright, alright, both of you are my ladies!"
Ling Hua nodded in satisfaction. Zeng Huan seemed to be a little excited because he had upgraded from a maidservant to a young miss. Qin An was completely defeated by them.
Just as they were about to leave the VIP seats, the officials who had accepted Qin An's small cloth pouch finally announced to the audience with sound transmission equipment what Qin An had handed over--
100 Sword Spirit Stones!
