In the vast land, a green mountain peak stands in the distance.
The peak is surrounded by dozens of small mountains... The place is full of spiritual energy and lush vegetation, and the people in the surrounding cities rarely get sick or weak.
Two hundred years ago, this mountain range was named... Tianci Mountain Range.
Today, two hundred years later, only the main green peak is still barely considered the territory of the Tianci Sect. The rest of the land is occupied by various sects. Of course, before occupying it, an expensive rent needs to be paid to the imperial court.
After all, this is the place with the strongest spiritual power besides the nine major sects.
"Two hundred years later, there are still traces of the war here."
The scorching sun scorched the mountains, causing the heaven and earth to distort. In the distance, there was a black figure, walking slowly forward on the heat wave.
Zhao Chu walked all the way, and the closer he got, the more frightened he became.
Two hundred years of sun and moon overlap, but the many criss-crossing ravines are still shocking.
The sword mark in front of me seemed to divide the earth into two. The dust buried the sharpness of the sword mark, but it could not cover up the bottomless waves.
A simple wooden bridge spans the two ends of the sword mark for people to cross.
"One sword cuts the earth, and later generations build bridges to cross it. What kind of magical power is this?"
After passing through the sword-marked ravine, Zhao Chu was still speechless.
If this sword were to hit him, his body would be shattered into pieces.
Look up.
There was actually a small mountain peak that was all cut off... Although the broken marks were already covered with tangled vegetation, Zhao Chu could still picture in his mind a peerless strong man unsheathing his sword, and the cold light thousands of miles away, and the earth
Desolate and desolate.
The closer we get to the Tianci Sect, the denser the various stumps and broken arms become... It took two hundred years of repairs, but the tragedy of that day cannot be described in words.
…
It was close to noon, and Zhao Chu habitually took out an apple and gnawed on it to quench his thirst... Actually, he was not thirsty, but the sun was in the sky, and his throat was subconsciously itchy.
Beside him, many young men who had awakened 5 or 6 spiritual veins were walking hurriedly back and forth... There were many second- and third-rate sects occupying the area, and they couldn't wait to become their disciples.
Of course, there are also some who, like him, went to the intermediary sect to participate in the Qi Refining Ceremony, in order to directly stand out in the sect and avoid being burdened with debts.
Of course, most of these people were at the first level of Qi Refining. Zhao Chu had only seen two at the second level of Qi Refining. However, these two people were very proud and surrounded by many flatterers, flattering and chattering.
This is the superiority brought by status. Although the second level of Qi Refining is not even qualified to be an observer in the nine major sects, it is already an exceptional level among the second-rate sects.
…
"Sure enough, it's so miserable that a piece of the door fell off!"
Zhao Chu walked to the entrance of Tianci Sect and immediately frowned.
The Tianci Mountain Range has many peaks, and it was the main peak for the elders of the Tianci Sect back then... Although it is occupied by other sects at this time, it is not far from the central Tianci Peak.
It was now the time for graduates to sign up, and the second-rate sects had already been squeezed out. Even the third-rate sects had people asking for advice one after another... Only this Tianci Sect had a shabby table, and only one old man was napping.
"Hey...Brother, I see that you have already participated in the Qi Refining Ceremony. Although your strength is mediocre and you are only at the first level of Qi Refining, don't delay yourself by going to the Tianci Sect... Well, give me 10,000 gold coins and I will introduce you to the Tigers.
Sect...this is a second-rate sect, and its future prospects are limitless."
Zhao Chu had just walked to the gate of Tianci Sect when suddenly there was a dark-skinned young man with his eyes rolling.
The world is full of intermediaries.
Zhao Chu shook his head and ignored him.
"How about I recommend another one? How about the Dashan sect? Even though the name of this sect is simple and honest, it is a real second-rate sect... I have connections with the elders, so I can get you in... 20,000 gold coins, you are a good boy!
"
"Hey, your friend is not sensible at all, and he may be poor. Let's see, Golden Sword Sect, the strongest third-rate sect with the highest potential, may apply to the Imperial Court for a second-rate sect next year, and then you will earn... 5,000 gold coins
, cabbage price!”
"Houstumen, 2,000 gold coins? I won't earn a penny from you..."
"1,000 gold coins, the Fire Knife Club next door?"
"Did you really die in Tianci Sect? Wow, I understand, you are not looking forward to [Tai Shang Dao Ji Chapter]... Look at those weirdos in Tianci Sect, they are all here
I have been around for several years, and the strongest one, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, asked me to betray the sect at a high price the day before yesterday."
Seeing that Zhao Chu was indifferent, the young man hated that iron could not become steel.
Through the crack in the door, the yard was desolate, with leaves and garbage in a mess. There were only five people, three of them were holding pieces of paper and playing landlords under the shade of the trees, one was lying down and sleeping, and one was meditating, but he was half-hearted.
He can catch grasshoppers, flick dust, and only has the first level of Qi refining.
"Have you seen that useless meditator? He was the last disciple who came three years ago. For three years, his cultivation level has not improved at all. After that year, no one came again... and no one will come in the future...
Look at that old man dozing off, he is the headmaster of your Tianci Sect and is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, isn’t that embarrassing?”
"Do you know Wang Junchen? The strongest man in the generation of 40,000 demons, he has reached the seventh level of Qi refining in three months. Look at him, I am ashamed... How can this kind of sect still exist? It is misleading the disciples."
The young man was still chattering, but Zhao Chu was already looking towards the sky.
Sure enough, deep inside the Tianci Sect, there was a rusty ancient bell. Although it was covered with moss and in a mess, it was the first time for Zhao Chu to see an ancient bell of this height.
"It's really not a mortal thing!"
Zhao Chu's left eye was filled with ice. In his sight, the ancient clock was covered with countless small cyan characters... These small characters could not even be seen clearly in a demon mirror. It seemed that every stroke was wrapped in mysterious power.
"It must be too much beyond my ability. Once you come, take care of it. With the Demon Mirror in hand, [Tai Shang Dao Ji Chapter] cannot escape!"
Zhao Chu smiled.
No one in this world can understand Zhao Chu's background.
"Brother, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ning Tianjiang. I am a genius who has participated in the catastrophe of forty thousand demons... To be honest, I know that you are the son of a wealthy family, and I can't bear to have you deceived... Just now I
On the way, I saw you swallowing two Qi Hai Dan with my own eyes, you really don’t accept my suggestion? Well, I want to buy you a Qi Hai Dan, you can set a price!"
Seeing Zhao Chu's obsession, the young man could only tell the truth.
"Huh? The catastrophe of forty thousand demons? It's impossible, right? As far as I know, the geniuses who participated in the catastrophe of forty thousand demons are all practicing in the nine major sects... you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Chu suddenly became interested.
"Pooh!"
"Bah!"
"It's okay if you don't mention the nine major sects, but if you mention it, I feel sick... I am a local of Wuhui City. The rehearsal battle started. My follower, Senior Brother Wang Zhuqing, killed everyone and cut down more than 100 demon dust...
It was dark and dark during that battle. If you didn't participate, you wouldn't know at all...Wang Junchen, Ji Dongyuan...and the forty thousand demon Zhao Chu who broke through the sky. It's a pity that Ji Dongyuan and Zhao Chu are both dead. It's a pity that I didn't share the same image with Zhao Chu."
Ning Tianjiang stamped his feet, his face full of anger.
"Oh, oh... I can't help but go off topic when I mention idols... Did you know? Envoys from the nine major sects came, Senior Brother Wang Zhuqing was selected by the Yanchen Sect, and I was also qualified to become the Glory Outer Sect, so I chose the Wulong Sect at that time
... My sub-professional talent is puppet control, Wulong Sect is more suitable for me... At this time, I am so angry... The nine major sects only gave my idol Zhao Chu a Glory Outer Sect... What a dog eye... I
The idol has killed forty thousand monsters, and the head of the family would not be surprised if he did so."
"Sorry, I digress again... By the way, the Ninth Princess arrived, the rehearsal battle was over, and we returned to the City of No Regrets... But when I went to the Wulong Sect to sign up with great joy, they actually... didn't want me!"
"Do you know how I felt at that time? I was wearing big red flowers and new clothes. In front of everyone, the Wulong Sect didn't want me... They said that my meridians were injured by the poisonous rat and I was not worthy of going to the Wulong Sect... Bah... I'm not
The man who protected Huang Lingling from the blood refining camp... In the City of No Regrets, the goddess was attacked by poisonous rats. I saved the beauty as a hero, and the goddess even praised me... Alas, it is too late for a hero to end up like this."
As he said that, Ning Tianjiang sat down on the ground, feeling unhappy.
When Zhao Chu heard that he had rescued Huang Lingling, his eyebrows jumped and he became somewhat interested.
"I went on a hunger strike for five days. I planned to starve to death. Who knew that my father, who had lost all his money, actually cured my injury... Unfortunately, there are only six spiritual veins left. The Wulong Sect still doesn't want me. I can only choose a second-rate man.
The sect…”
Looking at Ning Tianjiang's resentful face, Zhao Chu sighed slightly.
Compared with Ning Tianjiang in front of me, I seem to be much luckier... Ning Tianjiang is just a special case. At least he has recovered from his injuries. Those young men who cannot recover from their injuries and their comrades who have fought side by side should be abandoned by the nine major sects like garbage.
Bar.
Probably, there are still many people who can't think about it and just die in depression.
Since you can't bear the loss, why did you give people hope in the first place and then give them despair with your own hands... This kind of cruelty can be called heart-breaking.
"Master, the Lian Dian Sect's interest has been calculated. The principal is 50 million gold coins, and the interest for ten years is 15 million gold coins."
At this time, a wooden dog wandered to the foot of Ningtian River. The wooden dog's joints were all made of metal forged mechanisms, and a jade slip was refined in its throat, allowing it to make simple sounds.
Zhao Chu had read in a book that some monks in the Qi refining stage would use puppets to assist in doing some chores.
"Well, I owe some debt, so I want to make a little more money. Please forgive me... This is my puppet. It's a bit simple. It's funny."
Ning Tianjiang was exposed by the puppet, and his face was a little red.
"We are destined to meet each other. I will give you two pills!"
Ning Tianjiang is busy with work, and after healing his injuries, his family must also be heavily in debt... The Lian Dian Sect can indeed get credit for participating in the Qi Refining Ceremony, but the interest rate is staggering... The Lian Dian Sect has a royal background, as long as the disciples join the sect,
The contribution points in the sect will be directly converted into gold coins to repay the loan.
Within the sect, tasks with a lot of money are full of danger... But with debts on their backs, they can only risk their lives.
At the end of the ten years, if the debt has not been paid off, you will embark on the most dangerous battlefield... Ten deaths and no life.
This is the dirtiest force in the world.
"Are you kidding me... Two Spirit Sea Pills, the black market price has reached 10 million gold coins... Are you really giving them to me?"
The sudden surprise caught Ning Tianjiang off guard.
Zhao Chu didn't say anything and threw the elixir directly to him... The fact that he only helped Huang Lingling was worthy of Zhao Chu's elixir.
