One method is to hand over a large amount of wealth to the Ji family, either special medicinal pills that the Ji family desperately needs, or to do certain things for the Ji family, or to auction for a spot.
There is no specific amount of wealth, but it is said that if it is not something the Ji family particularly needs, but rather buying a spot from the Ji family, even a seventh-grade advanced-level spirit controller would go bankrupt.
One can imagine how enormous the wealth required for one spot is.
The second method is to go through the Ji family’s selection, which allows free entry into the teleportation array.
And the cost is to become the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controller.
Of course, one could also go to become the exclusive spirit controller for Sheng Tian Gate or Cang Long Gate, or special cooperation, after all, the two gates can purchase a certain number of spots from the Ji family.
Next are the three sects and four valleys.
However, although the three sects and four valleys are among the top ten powers in Yang Province, they are far inferior to the two gates and the Ji family, and the number of spots they can afford is not many.
It is estimated that the four valleys probably only have five or six, and the three sects probably around ten.
The three sects and four valleys have almost already been internally decided and will not hold any selections.
And whether going to the Ji family, the two gates, or the three sects and four valleys, the form is similar, all requiring service to their power.
Of course, there are also some benefits for the spirit controllers brought by the Ji family.
The team led by the Ji family represents the power of the entire Yang Province and can directly participate in the grand competition.
Whereas if going on one’s own, one still has to participate in the selection competition of Spirit Pool Island, going through layers of selections, and only after passing can one enter the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition.
This avoids quite a bit of trouble.
In fact, those who can be led by the Ji family are basically those who have passed layers of selections, only it is the selection within Yang Province.
In addition, each province on the Central Continent has three seed spots.
These seed spots can reduce several rounds of appearances, and when appearing, there is a chance to be grouped separately from the seeds of other provinces first, avoiding the situation where seeds clash early.
This is a huge benefit, after all, the number of people participating in the spirit controller grand competition is too many, and it is common for bad luck to lead to early encounters with top spirit controllers and being eliminated.
However, each province only has three seed spots, all controlled by the Ji family in Yang Province, making it almost impossible to obtain.
Hearing this information, Lin Xiao could not help but click his tongue inwardly. With less than two years left, wanting to go participate in Spirit Pool Island is truly not easy.
To go to Spirit Pool Island quickly, one must take the Ji family’s teleportation array.
He did not know if the token An Miao gave him would be useful.
However, he also had to prepare for the worst, ready with sufficient wealth.
But first, he had to reach the Ji family, and he did not even know how far the Ji family was from here.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea.
The Ji family sent people here precisely to select spirit controllers. If he participated in the selection, would he not be able to directly follow the Ji family’s representatives to the Ji family, without any expenditure?
He naturally did not intend to become the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controller. With who knows how many people from Yang Province participating in the selection, upon reaching the Ji family, there would definitely be a final selection.
At that time, if he deliberately lost, would he not be automatically eliminated?
Moreover, Lin Xiao also inquired that as long as one enters the Ji family’s selection team, one is under the Ji family’s protection, and it might even directly exempt him from the trouble of being hunted.
After all, as the number one power in the Central Continent, probably even the people from the four valleys would not dare to provoke them.
Of course, he did not completely rely on the so-called protection. His main goal was to enter Ding Jiang City’s teleportation array through the Ji family’s selection team.
After roughly considering this, Lin Xiao followed the crowd into the city and quickly headed to the plaza in Ding Jiang City.
At this time, around the massive plaza, it was already crowded with densely packed people, with only the centre having a high platform erected, with two seats.
On the seats, there was a long white-robed black-haired elder, sitting upright in the right position.
This black-haired elder had a long and thin face, yet his entire person gave a sense of being vigorous and full of vitality, with an elegant air.
Beside the long white-robed elder was an elder wearing a city crown on his head.
That elder had a round face with large ears, a flat broad nose, plus dark skin, appearing somewhat inelegant, and compared to that elder white-robed elder, there was a considerable gap.
However, this elder also had the momentum of a powerhouse, which was the aura subtly emanating from sixth-level Martial Emperor realm cultivation, fat yet not sagging.
And in the inner position of the plaza, there stood quite a few youths under thirty, each faintly emanating spiritual power aura.
And among those youths, Lin Xiao clearly saw youths wearing the marked attire of Spirit Phoenix Valley, standing among them.
The number was actually over a dozen, almost all between twenty-six and twenty-eight years old. The spiritual power cultivation revealed by the group was mostly at sixth-grade advanced-level realm, with only one at sixth-grade intermediate-level realm, and one at seventh-grade initial-level realm.
Lin Xiao could not help but feel a burst of surprise.
The Ji family is selecting spirit controllers, could it be that Spirit Phoenix Valley, as one of the four valleys and a spirit controller power, is also coming to participate in the selection?
However, thinking about it, even if Spirit Phoenix Valley’s disciples participate in the Ji family’s spirit controller selection, it is normal.
After all, wanting to go participate in the spirit controller grand competition, or even just to watch, the cost is too great. Spirit Phoenix Valley can afford only so few spots, so there must definitely be many people unable to go.
For a grand event like the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition, as long as one is a spirit controller, whether participating or watching, everyone wants to go.
As long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely strive for it. Spirit Phoenix Valley’s disciples participating in the Ji family’s selection is quite normal.
It is just that what puzzled Lin Xiao somewhat was, if these people all passed and became the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controllers, would the higher-ups of Spirit Phoenix Valley have no objections?
Of course, he also had to admire the talent of these people.
Under thirty, most had reached sixth-grade advanced-level spiritual power realm, which was already quite remarkable, especially one among them who had reached seventh-grade initial-level spiritual power realm.
Spirit Phoenix Valley lived up to being a powerful spirit controller force, able to produce so many spirit controller geniuses at once.
“I wonder if they have learned of the news that I killed Spirit Phoenix Valley disciples and elders?” Lin Xiao thought to himself again.
If they knew he had killed Spirit Phoenix Valley’s elders and disciples, if he stepped forward to participate in the selection, he would definitely be exposed on the spot.
If the Spirit Phoenix Valley’s wanted order and reward were announced, probably the entire city’s people would attack him.
That leading spirit controller should be the envoy dispatched by the Ji family for the selection, with cultivation at seventh-grade initial-level spiritual power realm.
Beside him should be the City Lord of Ding Jiang City, with sixth-level Martial Emperor cultivation.
Among the surrounding crowd, there were no particularly powerful figures.
He had the Purple Corpse Puppet, so if attacked by these people, he could also cope.
It is just that he would not be able to smoothly enter the teleportation array and be taken to the Ji family.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.
These Spirit Phoenix Valley disciples might not necessarily know about him killing the three elders of Spirit Phoenix Valley and Zou Yun.
Otherwise, since Spirit Phoenix Valley had issued a wanted order, and they had already arrived here, why not spread it?
Moreover, that leading spirit controller is the Ji family’s envoy, even if aware of Spirit Phoenix Valley’s wanted order, he might not stand on Spirit Phoenix Valley’s side.
After all, the Ji family is the number one power in Yang Province and must uphold its own prestige, without needing to worry about Spirit Phoenix Valley’s face.
