The same thing happened to the other few people. They were stunned for a moment and then looked around at their fellow disciples in the martial arts field. They saw a lot of green grasslands, many candle ends, and golden sparks, which were extremely strange.
"Ah... my hair, what outrageous thing has happened again..."
There were screams in the martial arts arena.
You know, this kind of different-colored hair usually only appears on people with special physiques and monsters, but today, after this rain, at least one-third of the people in Yun Sect have changed their hair and eye color.
This is much more exaggerated than the last time when the cold and heat were so severe.
The Yun Sect's higher-ups also found out about it very quickly because one of their elders accidentally got caught in the rain and came to Fang Mingyu with different-colored hair.
They soon determined that it was the rain that caused the trouble, so they quickly notified those disciples who had not been exposed to the rain not to go out and be exposed to the rain.
For a moment, the sect became silent again, and no one was seen wandering outside.
Fang Mingyu immediately called the disciples on the main peak whose hair and eye colors had changed to the sect hall to check on their conditions.
The result that can be found is that there is nothing unusual, no blood mutation has occurred, it is just the hair color and eye color that have changed, and it has changed according to the attributes of their main practice.
The hair of the monk who mainly cultivates the wood attribute turned green, it looked like a green grassland.
The monks with fire attributes are fiery red, the monks with gold attributes are bright gold, the monks with earth attributes are khaki, the monks with water attributes are aqua blue, the monks with wind attributes are cyan, the monks with thunder attributes are bright blue, and the monks with ice attributes are white.
In this way, Ye Liuyun's silver hair is no longer a particularly rare hair color in Yun Sect. There are many hair colors that are more outrageous than her white hair.
It's a pity that the hair changed color. Even Fang Mingyu and others were helpless. Someone even did an experiment. They shaved off all the hair in one go and then used force to induce hair growth. Would the hair that changed color be the same or a different color?
This is very helpless.
"Everyone, you must remember this. Next time when you see dark clouds suddenly covering the sun in the sky, find a place to hide immediately. How can I face people from now on? I'm cuckolded. I will never find a Taoist partner in this lifetime." A male cultivator who practiced wood-attributed skills looked at his cuckolded head and his face fell.
For a moment, the disciples around who were not caught in the rain didn't know whether to feel sympathy or want to laugh.
But to be honest, some hair colors are quite domineering, and when paired with heterochromatic eyes, they have a certain deterrent effect.
Lin Aoxue soon found out that the rain had dyed the hair of one-third of the sect's disciples.
At this moment, at Ye Liuyun's residence, Lin Aoxue put down the token in her hand speechlessly, and then glanced at Ye Liuyun who was refining medicine beside her.
"Oh! This guy's medicine making will definitely affect the weather. If the weather is affected, some strange things that cannot be explained will definitely happen. It's a pity that he can't stop making medicine. It's really harmful to people." Lin Aoxue sighed repeatedly.
Three days passed quickly.
During these three days, strange things happened frequently. On the first day, it rained so hard that it could change the color of people's hair and pupils. On the second day, a large number of poisonous insects inexplicably appeared in the entire sect. On the third day, a thunderstorm hit the Yun Sect again, electrocuting everyone and almost driving them crazy.
Fortunately, as the Monster Hunting Conference was about to begin, these strange things disappeared, but the disciples whose hair color changed could not change back.
"Notice! Disciples from each peak are requested to gather at their respective faction gathering points to prepare for the start of the Monster Hunting Conference. The specific requirements of the conference will be notified by your faction elders. This Monster Hunting Conference is the entrance competition for the sect conference. If you want to compete for the 100 places to attend the Nanling event, you must participate." The announcement of an elder of the Yun Sect was heard from above the Yun Sect.
After this voice fell, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue walked out of the room.
"Ah! It's time. I have to go back to the main peak." Lin Aoxue said.
"Well, I'm going to Caiyun Peak too. Do you really not need my pills?" Ye Liuyun asked.
She has refined several kinds of strange and exotic elixirs in the past few days, which are powerful enough to deal with cultivators at the Dao Palace level. These are prepared for the Monster Hunting Conference.
"No need for that. I have my own way of fighting. See you at the Monster Hunting Conference. I'm leaving first." Lin Aoxue said hello and flew into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
After seeing Lin Aoxue flying away, Ye Liuyun called Liusu and flew to Caiyun Peak.
---------------------------------
But when Ye Liuyun arrived at Caiyun Peak, she found that there were many more fellow disciples with white hair, green hair, blue hair and blue hair.
To be honest, these hair colors are pretty good, but they are too weird. Many disciples who had just come out of retreat thought they saw monsters when they saw their fellow disciples whose hair and eye colors had changed. But after a closer look, they found that it was not a monster. There was no demonic aura at all.
"What's wrong with you? Why have your hair and eye colors become so strange? Are you poisoned?" some powerful disciples asked.
Most of these disciples with abnormal hair were outer disciples, because most of the inner disciples were in seclusion during this period and not many of them were caught in the rain.
When these disciples saw their senior sisters asking questions, they immediately put on sad faces and explained the matter to them in detail.
"Ah? Is it so outrageous? A rain caused your bodies to mutate? Oh my God, it's a good thing I was in seclusion. If I hadn't, I might have become the same as you. How can I go out and see people with such hair and eye color? Wouldn't people think I'm a monster?" Some inner disciples said with fear on their faces.
Ye Liuyun felt guilty, but it was better this way. This way, her white hair would not be noticeable.
After a while, streams of light fell from the sky and landed in front of everyone. It was the Lord of Caiyun Peak, Su Ying, who arrived with other elders of Caiyun Peak.
The Caiyun Peak has replaced several elders. There was no other way. The elders who had turned into men were transferred to other peaks, and then several elders with attributes suitable for Caiyun Peak were transferred from other peaks.
Caiyun Peak does not recruit cultivators with the four attributes of gold, fire, earth and thunder. These four attributes are too strong and not suitable for the inheritance of Caiyun Peak.
"Greetings, Master." When Han Yao saw everyone arriving, she immediately led her fellow disciples to pay their respects to Su Ying and the others.
Ye Liuyun also followed suit. She stood at the back and was inconspicuous, so no one paid attention to her.
"Well, let me explain the rules and requirements of this Monster Hunting Conference. Participation in this conference is optional, but if you want to participate in the Nanling event, you must participate. You have to think it over. Also, this Monster Hunting Conference is ranked based on the number of monsters hunted by individuals and the level of the monsters. Among the five major factions and the main peak, only those ranked 1,000 can be qualified to participate in the sect conference."
"After attending the conference and entering the top 100, these 100 people will represent our Yun Sect to participate in the Nanling event held by the Shang Sect." Su Ying explained.
When everyone heard this, they were very envious, especially those cultivators whose strength had reached the third level of Dao Palace or above. They all had the opportunity to shine in the Nanling event. Even if they were not ultimately favored by the upper sect, as long as they achieved a place in the Nanling event, they would have great benefits.
After Su Ying said this, she began to ask the other elders to explain the rules of this conference in detail.
This monster hunting conference has almost no restrictions. The only restriction is that one cannot kill fellow disciples when competing for prey. In other words, fighting for prey is allowed.
Don't think that once something is in your hands, it is yours. Someone may soon defeat you and snatch the prey from you.
In this way, not only the monsters are prey, but their fellow disciples are also each other's prey.
Of course, they are no longer surprised by such things, as the competition between the major factions has always been like this.
After the elders finished explaining the rules, Su Ying spoke up again to remind them.
"Dear disciples, this conference is not just an individual matter. I know that many of you may feel that you are not strong enough and do not want to participate, but you can choose to work in a team, which can also increase your chances of being shortlisted. Moreover, if someone in your group obtains a place to participate in the Nanling event, I believe that this person will gain benefits afterwards and will definitely not forget you." Su Ying said again.
This sentence made some disciples who did not want to participate in the competition stunned at the same time. If they thought about it carefully, it was true. They could completely help a powerful senior sister and let her participate in the competition with the hopes of others. When the time came, they would gain personal benefits and then redistribute them. It was always better than doing nothing and giving up directly.
Those powerful disciples also began to think about it. They turned around and looked at the junior sisters behind them. This was indeed a way to increase the chances of being shortlisted.
Of course, if they can think of this, other factions can certainly think of it as well. If their Caiyun Peak can obtain more places to participate in the Nanling event, perhaps they can help each other at that time.
In this way, basically all disciples have to participate in the competition, even those outer disciples have to participate, this is for the honor of the entire Caiyun Peak.
At present, it is just an internal competition. They don’t need to care about the honor of the sect. They just need to strive for more places for their own faction. Only when they go to the Nanling event can they represent the Yun Sect, not the faction.
After Su Ying finished speaking, the important disciples of Caiyun Peak immediately began to recruit subordinates.
"Who is willing to form a team with me? Five Dao Palace Second Level cultivators, please." A core disciple shouted.
When she shouted, other core disciples started calling for help. At this time, those core disciples had to consider their own interests.
As for Han Yao and another seed from Caiyun Peak, they didn't say much, and didn't even call for help.
As direct disciples, they have their own self-esteem, interests and benefits, which they must obtain with their own abilities. If they rely on their status and appeal to gain benefits and honors, that would be a big flaw.
Han Yao and Caiyun Peak Seed walked aside and watched the sisters fighting for people. The disciples of the second level of the Dao Palace were soon divided up by these third level cultivators. Those who were not wanted had to form their own team, but they could only look for first level cultivators of the Dao Palace.
Basically, anyone who wants to participate in the competition has a team, but Ye Liuyun definitely has no plans to join any team. Besides, no one takes her seriously.
So Ye Liuyun found an inconspicuous corner, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and began to meditate, waiting for the meeting to end.
But just when Ye Liuyun was doing nothing, someone suddenly came in front of him.
"Eh? Junior Sister Ye, are you also going to participate in this sect conference? If you want to participate, would you like to join our team?" A familiar voice came to Ye Liuyun's ears.
Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes and looked at the other person. He found that the person in front of him was an acquaintance.
It was the female disciple of the second level of the Taoist Palace from the Caiyun Peak Affairs Office who had dealt with Ye Liuyun before.
After she saw Ye Liuyun just now, she thought about it and came over to ask. First, she wanted to ease the negative impression caused by her ignorance last time. Second, she felt that Ye Liuyun might be really strong. If those monsters were hunted by Ye Liuyun alone, then Ye Liuyun might have the combat power of the third level of the Taoist Palace.
Anyway, their team is made up of a group of disciples from the Affairs Pavilion whom they know. If Ye Liuyun is unwilling, they can just find another one. It won’t have any impact.
Ye Liuyun originally didn't have a very good impression of this woman, but this woman actually came to invite him to form a team. No matter what her purpose was, it was thoughtful.
"Is it okay? Are your teammates willing to take me with them?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
Soon, the group of disciples from the Affairs Office came over.
"Junior Sister Ye, we believe in your abilities. We are all disciples who regularly carry out sect missions in the Affairs Pavilion, and we have a very good relationship. We have all seen your mission last month." They also felt that Ye Liuyun might really be a hidden talent.
Maybe, it’s not them who lead Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun who leads them.
Originally, Ye Liuyun had no interest in forming a team, but when someone suddenly invited him, it seemed difficult to refuse, so after thinking about it, he chose to agree. This might be fate.
"Well, then, if that's the case, I'd be honored to refuse." Ye Liuyun nodded with a smile.
The fact that these people invited Ye Liuyun was noticed by many people.
"What are Pei Qian and the others doing? Why did they bring such a weak disciple into the team? Judging from the fluctuations in her cultivation, she can't even compare to the outer disciples, right?" someone asked.
"Who knows? Maybe they are friends or acquaintances. Their team has five Dao Palace Second Level people, which makes them the strongest among our second-tier teams." Someone else also said.
The seed disciples and direct disciples of each peak usually fly solo. Even if they have followers, flying solo is best unless it is necessary.
Let their followers form a team to hunt monsters. If they are lucky, perhaps many of their followers will be able to enter the sect conference and even get a place in the Nanling event.
After the team was determined, the next day, they could freely choose to go to the nine training sites in the Yunhai Mountains to hunt monsters for three months.
Chapter 282: The Willing One Takes the Bait (4500 words)
A day later, Fang Mingyu's voice was heard throughout the Yun Sect.
"I hereby declare that the Monster Hunting Conference has officially begun. Please ask the disciples from each peak to choose their own training areas and capture monsters."
As soon as these words were spoken, groups of Yun Sect monks flew out from the hilltops of various factions and flew to different areas.
The nine training grounds were very large, and even if they threw 10,000 people in there, there actually wasn't much of a commotion, it was just a little more than usual.
What's more, they have already closed the nine major training sites and cleared the area in advance. During the Monster Hunting Conference, outside monks are not allowed to enter.
Ye Liuyun sat on Liusu's body and followed Pei Qian and the other four people to fly towards Cuiping Mountain.
In fact, Ye Liuyun originally wanted to go to the floating islands in the blue sea, because she had an advantage there, but after thinking about it, she decided to follow Pei Qian and others' advice and go to Cuiping Mountain.
Why did they choose Cuiping Mountain? That's because Cuiping Mountain has always been guarded by the disciples of Caiyun Peak, and they know the situation here best.
Therefore, a large number of disciples from Caiyun Peak came here, but when they came out, Su Ying reminded them to try not to crowd together, as otherwise, it would be easy for disciples from their own faction to come into conflict.
Cuiping Mountain is an area with densely packed peaks, with the mountains very close to each other. The monsters here are mainly walking beasts, the vegetation is very dense, and the terrain is very harsh.
If they were not familiar with this place, it would definitely not be the first choice for hunting monsters.
"We're here, Junior Sister Ye. Have you been here before?" Pei Qian asked.
"Well, I came here once last month. To be honest, I think this place is the most troublesome among the nine training sites. I don't quite understand why Senior Sister Pei and you chose this place." Ye Liuyun asked.
Pei Qian chuckled and looked around.
"Junior Sister Ye, you don't know. Not to mention that this place is guarded by our Caiyun Peak, just the complex terrain here, many people from other sects are unwilling to come here, so I dare to bet that this place is definitely the place with the least monster hunting teams. With fewer teams, even if the terrain is a bit troublesome, it is relatively safer without having to compete with fellow disciples." Pei Qian explained.
After listening to her, Ye Liuyun understood. She looked around and found that there were indeed very few teams coming to Cuiping Mountain.
For a scattered team, normal people would think that they should go wherever they feel comfortable. But if they have such an idea, then so do other people. So Pei Qian did the opposite and came to this place of training that most people don't like to come to.
At this time, almost one-third of the sect’s people gathered on the islands of the Blue Sea Lake.
The floating islands in the blue sea have a wide view, and most of the monsters are in the water. They just need to find a way to lure the monsters out and hunt them. It's very simple.
Therefore, the largest number of Yun Sect disciples go to this place to hunt monsters, followed by Qingling and Zihua Mountain. These two places are normal mountainous areas.
In a word, the simpler the terrain and the more suitable it is for action, the more teams there will be.
"Oh... I understand." Ye Liuyun understood.
"Haha, I'm glad you understand. Let's go in, everyone." Pei Qian motioned for everyone to follow her into the barrier gate.
After crossing the barrier, Ye Liuyun and his companions came to the Cuiping Mountain area, which is full of mountains and dense vegetation. As soon as they entered this place, they found that the view was very crowded, with mountains in all directions, making it difficult to determine the direction.
After coming in, Ye Liuyun and the others heard frequent bird calls in the sky. Before they had taken a few steps, a huge black monster bird attacked them with a storm.
"Be careful, a demon bird has discovered us." Pei Qian and the others reacted quickly. Pei Qian took out a magic weapon similar to a fishing net, and suddenly grabbed the demon bird and trapped it. This is a demon-binding net.
After the demon bird was caught, it was immediately shocked by the electric current on the demon binding and screamed in pain. This was just a demon beast in the Wheel Sea realm, and it was according to the regulations.
The monsters in the early stage of the wheel sea are 1 point, 2 points in the middle stage, 3 points in the late stage, 4 points at the peak, and so on.
Pei Qian and the others meant that they should first catch monsters separately in one area, not too far away, and then cooperate when they needed powerful monsters from the other party. To put it bluntly, if they encountered trouble, they would rush to help as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, I caught one first. Junior Sister Ye, we have already talked about this before. We will each capture the monsters in this area first. If there is any trouble, please inform us immediately." Pei Qian said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun nodded. She didn’t care. She was not worried at all that she would not be shortlisted.
