This time, not only Ziyu, but also everyone present looked shocked.
Different from the first three realms, the practice of the last six realms becomes more difficult the further you go. Especially after the seventh realm, the requirements for innate understanding are extremely high. There are many geniuses and monsters in the world.
The first few stages were smooth and smooth.
But when he reached the sixth or seventh realm, he suddenly stopped moving forward and stayed there for the rest of his life.
And even for people with extremely high understanding and talent, few people can make the leap from the Eighth Realm to the Ninth Realm without the accumulation of nearly ten years.
Not to mention that Zhao Nianshuang only broke through the eighth realm and entered the ninth realm again...
Not to mention that such a thing is unheard of, even those writers who write novels about strange things probably don’t dare to write about it.
The old man surnamed Lu rubbed his ears, which were hurt by Zi Yu's high-octave tone, and then said: "Can this be false?"
"And entering the Ninth Realm is no small matter. The entire Qingque Peak has been closed. Even if I give you the token of my direct disciple, you can't go up to Qingque Peak."
"Don't talk about you guys. Didn't King Wu say he would come to Tianxuan Mountain for a visit a few days ago? Because of this, the leader also declined. Now the most important thing in Tianxuan Mountain is only one thing - help
Peak Master has broken through the Nine Realms!"
The ability of the Nine Realms means that one foot has stepped into the realm of gods and humans, and Zhao Nianshuang is still so young. As long as he can successfully reach the Nine Realms, it is not difficult to enter the realm of gods.
And as soon as he entered the divine temple, he really answered the words of the leader - we can guarantee that Tianxuan Mountain will be prosperous for another three hundred years!
This is indeed a major event worthy of mobilizing the entire Tianxuan Mountain.
"But I can't go back to Qingque Peak, where will I live!?" Ziyu asked again with her eyes widened.
The old man surnamed Lu blinked his eyes and said: "Then we can only find a place in Tianxuan City to temporarily suffer for a while. Breaking through the Nine Realms is not a trivial matter, but we don't know how long it will take..."
But Ziyu was furious after hearing this: "There are so many of us, and you let us live in Tianxuan City!!?"
As she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to fight the old man surnamed Lu.
The old man surnamed Lu suddenly turned pale, hurriedly put his head in his hands and hid under the table.
The whole process can be said to be done in one go, smoothly and skillfully, which makes people feel distressed.
Everyone didn't know why she reacted so fiercely. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her. While apologizing to the old man, they led Ziyu, who was burning with anger and constantly cursing, out of the Spirit Book Mansion.
But even though he had already left the evil gate of Lingce Mansion, Ziyu still refused to give up and kept cursing at the old man named Lu in the room.
Seeing this, Yue Jian shook her head. She looked at Chu Qingxiao and said: "This disciple of Tianxuan Mountain only has this kind of virtue."
"It's such a small thing that I'm shocked."
…
Half an hour later.
"What!?"
"A yard as big as yours costs thirty taels of silver a month!?"
Standing in front of a small courtyard, Yue Jian widened his eyes, looked at the thin old man in front of him, and asked angrily.
This yard is not big, with only five or six extremely narrow rooms in it. It is placed in an area like Wuling City. A yard of this size can be bought for at most a hundred taels of silver, but his monthly rent is thirty taels, which is indeed a bit...
Overdone.
But after hearing this, the old man showed displeasure and said: "This is the most cost-effective courtyard in our Tianxuan City. Not to mention facing the main street, the orientation is also very good. If it weren't for the recommendation of an acquaintance, I wouldn't have it."
You said thirty taels, but I won’t rent forty taels!”
After all, Ziyu is a direct disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. Although he only studied under the elders of Qingque Peak, he is not comparable to ordinary disciples.
After realizing that she could only live in Tianxuan City temporarily, she could only contact acquaintances to find a suitable yard and move in temporarily.
After all, breaking through the Ninth Realm is not an easy task. When the peak master of Erlong Peak entered the Ninth Realm, he spent a full year and a half in seclusion. No matter how talented Zhao Nianshuang was, he could not survive for three to four months or even half a year.
It was probably impossible to leave the border. For long-term planning, they really needed to find a suitable place to stay in Tianxuan City.
So there was this scene before us.
After hearing this, Yue Jian's face turned cold. She heard a sharp clang sound, the long sword on her back was unsheathed, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Profiteer!"
After all, she had been a bandit for many years, and her hostility had not gone away yet.
Everyone was really afraid that she would kill someone in anger, so they hurried forward to stop her.
After finally appeasing Yue Jian, Chu Zhaozhao explained at this moment: "Every inch of land in Tianxuan City is expensive, and the price of goods is much higher than in other places."
"There are six rooms in his small courtyard. According to the market price of Tianxuan City, each room can be rented to a disciple for five to ten taels of silver. His house is quite good. It is not a problem to rent it for seven or eight taels of silver. Let's pack it together.
Renting it to us, thirty taels of silver is really not expensive."
The old man on the side who was frightened by Yue Jian's ferocious look turned pale. Seeing that someone finally said something fair, he nodded quickly.
"Isn't this expensive!? It's almost like grabbing money and writing it on your face!"
The anger that had just subsided on Yue Jian's face suddenly resurfaced when he heard this: "I always thought that we bandits were extremely vicious, but now it seems that compared with Tianxuan City, we are simply living Bodhisattvas!"
"Humph, look at how you look like you have never seen the world!" Ziyu, who had always resented Yue Jian's ridicule just now, took over the words and sneered mercilessly.
"You!" Yue Jian heard this. Although he felt angry, he had no way to argue.
At that time, Cangying Village only had a total of more than a thousand taels of silver. After everyone went to Lingque Town, because they went their separate ways, Yue Jian divided the money according to people, leaving less than a hundred taels for himself.
It was still planned to pay for traveling to Xizhou with Chu Qingxiao in the future, but this month's accommodation would cost thirty taels, which was really hard for Yue Jian to accept.
"Tianxuan City has a large population and nearly a million disciples. Some ordinary families have to devote all their efforts to provide a disciple to practice here. However, disciples without such backgrounds need to work together in order to stay in Tianxuan City.
I have to do a few jobs to survive in Tianxuan City..." Chu Zhaozhao has lived in Tianxuan City for more than ten years, so he naturally knows all the details here, so he sighed at this time.
"This Heavenly Hanging City is what everyone yearns for, but behind every success in reaching heaven and becoming an inner disciple, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of outer disciples who have wasted years or even their entire lives here..."
Ziyu was a little displeased when she heard this. She said: "The way of cultivation is this. Who doesn't fight out of ten thousand armies? Having this opportunity is better than nothing?"
Everyone was silent and no longer discussed the matter. After paying the old man one month's rent, it was considered that he had a place to stay in Tianxuan City.
…
After sorting out the things, Meng Ziliang hurriedly took Meng Jin to the place where he would take the exam and register to become a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. He had been thinking about this on the way here. Naturally, he was impatient at this moment, while the rest of the people were
They started to tidy up their respective houses.
There are only six bedrooms in the whole courtyard, but there are seven people in their party. Moreover, these bedrooms have obviously been specially renovated. There is only room for a bed, a table and a chair in the door. It is difficult to squeeze in two people.
People have some difficulties.
Therefore, Chu Qingxiao simply made a pavilion in the main house for a while. There were stone tables and benches in the courtyard, so everyone could gather here, which was convenient. Moreover, the Meng family siblings probably wouldn't be able to stay for more than a few days.
When he was about to leave, Chu Qingxiao could move back to the wing and stay here temporarily for a few days.
Chu Qingxiao had just tidied up his room and laid the floor, when footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Chu Qingxiao looked back and saw that the person coming was clearly Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Qingxiao smiled at the other party and said: "Zhao Zhao."
Chu Zhaozhao walked up to Chu Qingxiao seriously and looked at him seriously: "Aren't you going to explain to me what happened to Sister Sanniang?"
After leaving Goshawk Village, everyone rushed to Lingque Town after a long journey, and then they were busy settling down the people of Lingque Town.
The two of them had almost no time to be alone. Chu Zhaozhao also knew that the matter was very confidential, so he waited until now to ask.
Chu Qingxiao had no intention of hiding it from Chu Zhaozhao. He walked forward, closed the door, and pulled Chu Zhaozhao to sit down. Soon he told Sanniang's affairs one by one.
After that, he added: "Sister Sanniang absorbed those ghosts last time and is still trying to find a way to get rid of the hostility in them. She probably won't be able to show up in a short time. When her condition gets better, I will let her
I will come out and speak to you in person."
After hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao glared at Chu Qingxiao angrily and said, "Do you think I won't believe you?"
Chu Qingxiao quickly waved his hand and said: "No, I'm just afraid that Zhaozhao will think too much. After all, this resurrection from the dead is really weird..."
Seeing Chu Qingxiao's slightly flustered look, Chu Zhaozhao found it funny and did not want to embarrass her. She said: "No matter what, it is always a good thing that Sister Sanniang can survive..."
"Then what are you going to do next? Go to Xizhou, or stay in Tianxuan Mountain?"
Chu Qingxiao heard this and said: "After Nian Shuang comes out of seclusion and meets her once, we will prepare to leave for Xizhou."
Although Chu Qingxiao had said this earlier, after hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask again: "Are you willing to let go of your childhood sweetheart?"
"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. Song Guicheng and the others were kind to me. How could I let them die in an unknown manner? The people of Wuling City cannot die in vain. No matter what, I will find out the truth!" Chu Qingxiao said in a tone of voice.
Speak firmly.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded when she heard the words, and she also said: "Senior Song and others are also kind to me, and the martial arts in my body also comes from their last inheritance. When fighting against the True God of Yongye, they injected their sword intent into it.
He entered my body, which allowed me to achieve my current level of cultivation. Speaking of which, I should be considered a descendant of Jian Yuecheng. I will accompany you in this line of work!"
More than ten days ago, when Chu Zhaozhao had an epiphany while fighting Luo Kuan, he not only got rid of the shackles of the sword-watching and nourishing the will, but also recast the sword in his hand. His cultivation level also began to rise, and he also condensed even the purple
The martial soul that has not been condensed in Yudu has now touched the threshold of the four realms.
And the martial spirit in her body has some connection with Song Guicheng and others, so what she said is true.
Chu Qingxiao nodded and did not stop Chu Zhaozhao's proposal at this moment.
At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao looked at Chu Qingxiao with resentful eyes and asked again: "Then when are you going to confess to Yue Jian? The way she looks at you these days is not quite right."
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao looked a little embarrassed, and he said with a guilty conscience: "No..."
"And I think she should have guessed something. After all, both my sword intention and the sword technique I use come from Jianyue City..."
"Probably because of this, she pays special attention to me these days."
Chu Qingxiao was actually a little confused when he said this. He also understood that Yue Jian had obviously misunderstood what he meant, but he had been busy these days and had no chance to explain, so he kept delaying it until now. When he said this, he was also confused.
I secretly made up my mind to make it clear to the other party. The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the misunderstanding will be and the more detrimental it will be to everyone.
"Hmph!" Chu Zhaozhao snorted and sneered: "Save her head that can't even figure out that three plus three equals six. Can she guess our identities?"
"Perhaps I think I have met the right man, so I will do my best for her and be willing to wade through the muddy waters of Jianyue City. I am so moved in my heart!"
Chu Qingxiao was speechless.
"Is this Tianxuan Mountain!?"
"How can there be such a sect in the world!!!"
But at this moment, Meng Jin's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
Her tone was quite sad and angry. Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao in the room thought something had happened. At this time, they stopped talking, turned around and walked quickly to the courtyard gate.
After hearing this, Ziyu Yuejian and others also came outside the house.
I saw that the Meng family siblings, who had just said they were going to take the Tianxuan Mountain entrance examination, had returned at this time.
Meng Jin looked indignant, but Meng Ziliang beside her was indeed smiling and excited.
"Is the assessment so fast? What's the result?" Chu Qingxiao stepped forward and asked at this time.
After hearing this, Meng Ziliang smiled proudly at everyone, and slowly took out an iron token from his arms with a big word "miscellaneous" written on it.
"Tianxuan Mountain is indeed the leader in swordsmanship in the world. He really knows how to recognize people!"
"From today on, I am the legitimate disciple of Tianxuan Mountain!"
When everyone saw this, their faces suddenly showed strange expressions.
Everyone knew that Meng Ziliang was incapable of practicing cultivation, so everyone agreed that he would not be able to pass the entrance examination of Tianxuan Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Ziyu was the first to step forward, took the token from Meng Ziliang's mouth, looked at it up and down, and after a while, she looked weird and murmured under the gaze of everyone: "This
The token is indeed real..."
Meng Ziliang received Ziyu's personal verification, and his face was even more proud: "That's natural. How could the Gentleman's Sword that I cultivated be used to deceive?"
But despite this, everyone was still in disbelief.
"How did you pass the assessment?" Chu Zhaozhao on the side also asked with a strange expression at this time.
Hearing this, Meng Ziliang raised his head proudly, put his hands on his hips and said, "Of course it is because of my outstanding swordsmanship talent..."
"Stop bragging!" But as soon as he said these words, Meng Jin glared at him and said: "You rely on your full wallet."
After saying that, Meng Jin looked at Zi Yu and said with a bit of complaint: "Your Tianxuan Mountain is also a famous sect, how come this handyman disciple can be paid for it?"
"Huh?" Ziyu frowned after hearing this and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"The person in charge of the assessment said that to be a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, you only need to pay twenty taels of silver as an offering to the sect before you can enter. In the future, you will also need to pay an additional five taels of silver every month as an offering to the disciples.
Maintain your identity as a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, otherwise the token will be withdrawn..."
"Is there still such a thing?" Ziyu's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
"Outer sect and handyman disciples do need to pay some money to the sect every month...but they should also need to take an assessment before they can become disciples, right? When did this rule change?" Chu Zhaozhao, who was beside him, also frowned.
Even Chu Zhaozhao felt that it was a bit outrageous to accept a person who was unable to practice as a disciple after receiving money.
"The person in charge said that this was the rule three years ago." When Meng Jin heard this, he sat down on the stone table beside him with itching teeth, feeling quite heartbroken.
After all, according to the bet between her and Meng Ziliang, now she seems to have no excuse to treat Meng Ziliang to Muzhou again, but to become the son-in-law of the Nangong family...
"You, Tianxuan Mountain, are indeed good at making money!" Yue Jian, who was on the side, heard this and heard the secret, and sneered.
Ziyu's face was a little confused, and she said angrily: "This is nonsense, I must report this matter to the sect!"
Chu Zhaozhao said: "Such a matter cannot be decided by the people below without permission. It should be the sect's decision..."
Ziyu also understood this truth. She couldn't help but darken her face and muttered: "However, people will be recruited into the sect at will after the assessment. If this continues, the disciples in the sect will be mixed, and they are not afraid of someone using the name of Tianxuan Mountain.
Did you do something evil and ruin the reputation of Tianxuan Mountain?"
"How good is your Tianxuan Mountain's reputation?" Yue Jian said sarcastically at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Ziyu immediately looked at the other party angrily, and the atmosphere in the small courtyard suddenly became tense.
When Chu Qingxiao saw this, he quickly smoothed things over with a smile and said comfortingly: "Don't argue anymore. After all, it is a good thing that Brother Meng can become a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. It can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish."
"Tianxuan Mountain now has one more disciple..."
But just as he said these words, Meng Jin, who was sitting on the stone table nearby with a heartbroken expression, suddenly reached out and interrupted Chu Qingxiao's words.
"No...it's two people." Meng Jin said quietly, and slowly took out a handyman disciple's token from his arms.
Everyone looked strange when they saw this, and Chu Qingxiao even asked strangely: "Miss Meng, why are you..."
Meng Jin's face became increasingly annoyed at that time, and she said angrily: "The examiner said that if two people go together, the second one will be half price..."
