If Zhou Qu used all his force from the start, definitely no one would dare to go up. But with such a cover-up, the disciples would immediately think that they have a chance of winning.
To catch a big fish, one must cast a long line.
Zhou Qu was really skillful in using this strategy.
Moreover, the new disciples were not old—fifteen, sixteen-year-olds were very easy to be duped.
As expected, when the first new disciple lost a bottle of Xi Spirit Pill, a few other new disciples went up successively. Those new disciples, without exception, did not have any energy to block Zhou Qu's third move.
One or two times was a coincidence, but if so many people lost at the third move, it would be really dumb of those new disciples if they still did not realize anything fishy.
In just a short while, Zhou Qu collected five to six bottles of Xi Spirit Pills. Subtracting the bottle he gave to Lu Xiuwen, he still gained quite a lot.
