206: Advertise the Five Elements Ring

The next morning.

Inside Lingsu Valley.

The various Sects' Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin its second round. After the first day's eliminations, fewer than three hundred Cultivators remained to enter the second round. However, the ultimate victory would still depend on the rankings of the Sects that managed to advance!

Chen Cuo naturally strolled leisurely by the competition stands, feeling no pressure about advancing to the second round. He was currently pondering how to advertise the Five Elements Spirit Ring to facilitate future business.

The emergence of the Five Elements Spirit Ring would undoubtedly pique the great interest of various Sects.

He decided to use this Martial Arts Tournament as an opportunity to thoroughly promote the Five Elements Spirit Ring.

"Chen Cuo, you seem quite relaxed." A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw that it was Liu Feiyang, the Disciple from Lingsu Valley he had met in yesterday's competition.

"Senior Brother Liu, you're early too." Chen Cuo smiled slightly in response.

"Hmm, I've been thinking, the Five Elements Spirit Ring you used yesterday was truly amazing. It seems similar to the Fire Spirit Ring, a Magical Artifact launched by your Lingbao Mountain. Am I right?" Liu Feiyang asked curiously.

"Haha, Senior Brother Liu indeed has a unique eye. This Magical Artifact was originally created by my Lingbao Mountain, and the set I hold is its advanced Magic Treasure!" Chen Cuo said jokingly.

"Brother Chen, seeing your intentions, do you already have a plan to make this treasure famous in one go? I wonder if I, Liu, could pre-order a set?"

Chen Cuo shook his head and smiled, "That's not impossible, but Senior Brother will have to wait a long time. I've only just refined a new Five Elements Spirit Ring, and I don't have a second set yet. However, I do have some ideas for an early advertisement."

Liu Feiyang's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh? What do you mean by advertisement? What brilliant ideas do you have, Brother Chen?"

Chen Cuo explained his plan in detail to Liu Feiyang. Liu Feiyang nodded repeatedly after listening, praising, "Brother Chen is truly brilliant. This way, the reputation of the Five Elements Spirit Ring will surely spread."

"Haha, that's exactly what I'm thinking about." Chen Cuo's eyes brightened, "However, the details still need to be carefully considered."

The two chatted as they walked towards the competition grounds. The second round of the competition was about to begin, and the rivalry between the various Sects was becoming increasingly fierce.

Chen Cuo told Liu Feiyang about his plan and some common marketing techniques. Liu Feiyang, as an Alchemist of Lingsu Valley, had his own managed forces and even a market business.

Chen Cuo was essentially guiding him.

All he wanted was for Liu Feiyang to act with him and advertise the Five Elements Spirit Ring. As a Disciple from the host Sect of the Martial Arts Tournament, Liu Feiyang had the confidence to do so.

For this, Chen Cuo even made an exception and allowed him to pre-order a set of Five Elements Spirit Rings.

After Liu Feiyang heard Chen Cuo's plan, a glint flashed in his eyes.

As an Alchemist of Lingsu Valley, although his Alchemy skills were superb, business management had always been his weakness.

The marketing techniques proposed by Chen Cuo undoubtedly opened a new door for him.

"Brother Chen, your plan is indeed clever. Not only can it spread the reputation of the Five Elements Spirit Ring far and wide, but it can also boost the business of my market." Liu Feiyang said with a smile.

"Brother Liu, you flatter me. I'm merely offering a humble idea. It mainly relies on your influence to successfully implement this plan." Chen Cuo replied modestly.

After some discussion, the two decided to set the plan for the Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Feiyang would use his influence to quietly spread the advertisement for the Five Elements Spirit Ring first.

"During the Martial Arts Tournament, many Cultivators and spectators will gather, which is the best time for promotion," Liu Feiyang continued. "I will arrange for some reliable people to spread news of the Five Elements Spirit Ring among the crowd, letting everyone know about its miraculous properties."

Chen Cuo nodded in agreement: "Brother Liu has considered everything. At the same time, I will also arrange for people to prepare samples of the Five Elements Spirit Ring for live demonstrations during the Martial Arts Tournament. Letting everyone witness its effects firsthand will be even more convincing."

He only had one set of Magic Treasure-level Five Elements Spirit Rings, but he had many Magical Artifacts like the Fire Spirit Ring and Metal Spirit Ring.

The set of Magical Artifacts formed by these, although a low-tier version, was still sufficient for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It was just that the quantity was insufficient.

"Excellent!" Liu Feiyang slapped the table and said excitedly, "This way, the reputation of the Five Elements Spirit Ring will surely spread rapidly, and it might even attract Cultivators from other cities to purchase it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, filled with confidence in the success of their plan.

The next day, the Martial Arts Tournament was held as scheduled. Liu Feiyang used his influence to spread the advertisement for the Five Elements Spirit Ring before the tournament began, and many Cultivators and spectators developed a strong interest in this mysterious Spirit Ring.

Chen Cuo brought several people from the Bai family. They held the Spirit Rings, recited incantations, and then the Spirit Rings released colorful, dazzling light. As the light flickered, the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to be drawn in, condensing within the Spirit Rings. With this effect, the power of Five Elements Spells could almost be doubled.

Chen Cuo immediately put three low-tier Five Elements Spirit Rings up for sale, and then, as previously agreed, one of Liu Feiyang's Senior Brothers immediately came to the location and bought them.

This person had won in the first round of the competition. As the price for advertising, Chen Cuo had already sold the Spirit Rings to him at a price lower than the market price. Today was merely a performance.

The second round of the Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin, and the set of Five Elements Spirit Rings in his hand had been refined by him for a day and a night. There was no problem with its initial use. His opponent was in the same Realm as him, and with the help of this Magic Treasure, he was sure to win.

The Senior Brother who bought his Five Elements Spirit Ring was named Yang Jie, and he had a very good relationship with Liu Feiyang.

Perhaps no one expected that Liu Feiyang, who was an opponent in the competition before, would be advertising Chen Cuo's business today!

Liu Feiyang was greatly exaggerating how difficult it was to deal with this Magic Treasure, citing others' personal experiences, and indeed, the effect was good.

The other two sets were also sold very quickly.

Yang Jie's match was before Chen Cuo's. At this time, because Chen Cuo was grandly selling the Magic Treasure, many Disciples had already been attracted by this set of Magical Artifacts and wanted to see its practical effect in someone else's hands.

To avoid any surprises, Chen Cuo naturally came to watch the match. At this time, Yang Jie's opponent was a Cultivator from the Yin Severing Sect, seemingly named Wu Xuan, who exuded a deathly aura.

It should have been a deliberate arrangement by the Demonic Path. The Demonic Path Cultivators participating in this Martial Arts Tournament were only Disciples from the Yin Severing Sect, White Bone Sect, and Blood God Sect. Sects like the Demonic Sword Sect did not send anyone.

Yang Jie's magical power shield was dark green, as if it contained deadly poisonous Qi, and as he moved, faint green gas lingered in the air.

He was actually a poison Cultivator.

In contrast, the spiritual shield on Wu Xuan's body was gray, full of ghostly Qi and seemingly containing some Yin Qi. When the two faced each other, it truly felt like a scorpion fighting a centipede.

As the bell rang, the dark green magical power shield was like a forest of poisonous mist, filled with the aura of death.

Every step he took, faint green poisonous Qi snaked through the air like a serpent, sending shivers down one's spine.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light, as if all life in his eyes were merely lambs to be slaughtered.

On Wu Xuan's side, the gray spiritual shield was like a desolate wasteland, full of ghostly Qi, chilling to the bone. He released several fierce ghosts, and the Yin Qi they contained gave people an inexplicable sense of fear. The fierce ghosts had no physical form and should have been immune to the countless poisonous shields formed by magical power.

However, when several fierce ghosts approached and collided with Yang Jie's magical power shield, a series of piercing screams echoed in the air, as if invisible forces were tearing at each other.

Many fierce ghosts directly dissipated into Soul mist.

Wu Xuan's heart sank, and he thought, "Poison of Divine Sense! Damn it, how is this guy opposite me even crazier than me, a Demonic Path Cultivator?"

One must know that the poison of Divine Soul, if not controlled properly, could harm both oneself and others, let alone applying it to one's own magical power shield.

In an instant, Yang Jie's poisonous Qi and Wu Xuan's Yin Qi intertwined in the air, forming a bizarre and dangerous scene.

"Hmph, a poison Cultivator?" Wu Xuan sneered, his voice sounding as if it came from deep underground, carrying a chilling and eerie quality that made one's heart pound, "Do you think your poisonous Qi can do anything to me?"

As he spoke, the gray spiritual shield on his body suddenly became even denser, as if countless ghosts were howling within it.

A powerful Yin Qi emanated from his body, directly rushing towards Yang Jie's poisonous Qi shield.

He no longer used tangible fierce ghosts but directly attacked the body with Yin Qi to break through the opponent's defense.

Yang Jie's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Wu Xuan's Yin Qi to be so powerful. But his identity as a poison Cultivator wasn't just for show. His dark green shield suddenly trembled violently, then became even thicker.

An even stronger poisonous Qi emanated from it, as if to corrode everything around it.

The magical power shields of the two stalemated in the air, forming a delicate balance.

The surrounding spectators held their breath, nervously watching this bizarre duel.

Just then, Yang Jie suddenly let out a cold laugh. His body violently trembled, and the dark green poisonous Qi instantly became rampant.

Countless strands of green poisonous Qi shot out from it, like venomous snakes, madly tearing at Wu Xuan's gray spiritual shield.

Each strand of poisonous Qi carried strong corrosiveness and toxicity, as if it could penetrate all defenses and reach deep into the Soul.

The gray spiritual shield, under the frenzied attack of the poisonous Qi strands, continuously trembled but was never breached.

Just at this moment, the Five Elements Spirit Ring vibrated again, and another ray of light shot out, echoing the previous ray of light, forming an even more powerful attack.

This attack directly plunged into the surging poisonous mist, triggering an even more violent explosion.

At the moment of the explosion, entire swathes of poisonous mist filled the stage. At this point, Wu Xuan was dumbfounded. Wisps of mist seeped into his body as he breathed.

Immediately, adverse reactions appeared.

In an instant, he felt as if all the energy in his body had been drained, his head spun, his breathing became rapid, and the whole world reeled. He was pulled by an invisible force, involuntarily tilting forward.

The erosion of the poisonous mist gradually showed its power. His face turned ashen, his lips began to turn purple, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He struggled with all his might, trying to hold himself up and not fall, but the scene before his eyes became increasingly blurry, and his consciousness was almost dissipating.

Then, in the next second, countless fierce ghosts began to backlash against Wu Xuan's will, no longer targeting Yang Jie, but turning back to gnaw at their master.

The scene was incredibly terrifying. A trace of horror and despair flashed in Wu Xuan's eyes. He had never expected that these fierce ghosts he controlled would backlash against him at this moment.

He tried to resist, but that power was like a flood, unstoppable. Each fierce ghost was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his Soul, making his will tremble in pain. His face instantly turned pale, cold sweat poured down like rain, and his body felt as if it was being gnawed by countless fierce ghosts, suffering immensely.

Everything around him became blurry, leaving only the howling of the fierce ghosts and Wu Xuan's painful groans.

His consciousness began to blur, and he felt as if his Soul was about to be torn apart by these fierce ghosts.

At this moment, the outcome of the victory was already determined, but the elder from the Yin Severing Sect who brought people to participate in the competition did not look at Wu Xuan again, allowing him to be completely devoured by the fierce ghosts he had raised.

His body began to collapse, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.

An old man's face was ashen, and he coldly said, "Evil Demonic Path, death is not regrettable." His voice was filled with undisguised contempt and disgust.

As soon as the old man's words fell, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from the venue.

Those young Disciples from various Sects, despite being terrified, still bravely echoed in unison, as if this could erase the shadow left by that terrifying scene in their hearts.

Just as everyone was chattering, a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the air.

Yang Jie's Five Elements Spirit Ring glowed with brilliant light, gathering the Five Elements power of heaven and earth.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Instantly, a cool and refreshing purifying sweet rain descended from the sky, sprinkling upon everyone.

The sweet rain was cool and refreshing, as if it could cleanse all dust and impurities, allowing one's mind to achieve an unprecedented purification.

Everyone was amazed; they had never seen such a powerful purification Spell.

In an instant, everyone felt a sense of tranquility in their hearts, as if they were in a pure and unblemished immortal Realm.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jie was not only astonishingly skilled in poison arts, but his purification Spells were equally superb.

However, a very small number of people noticed the Five Elements Spirit Ring in his hand. Chen Cuo couldn't help but sigh, this was truly a Genius advertisement today.

Until Chen Cuo entered the arena, he gave his opponent no chance, directly overwhelming him with countless Five Elements Spells until he was disoriented and unable to resist, leading him to voluntarily concede, thus smoothly passing the second round.

During the process, his Five Elements Spells were as fierce as a storm, making it impossible for people to clearly see his movements, only to feel the powerful pressure.

The attacks were continuous like flowing water, making it impossible to find any flaws. Under his attacks, the opponent could only passively endure, completely unable to retaliate.

And the key to all of this made people realize that this seemed to be the effect of the five rings on his hand.
