Zhang Yao and his group used the monsters they hunted in exchange for some silver coins, and then the group entered the largest inn in Luo Lei City.
Inns on the mainland of China provide luggage, errands, wine, food, bathing, and even sensual dogs and horses.
For ordinary people and casual practitioners, the inn is the place where news is most concentrated and where news circulates most frequently.
Zhang Yao didn't ask for a private room, so he took Mo Ling'er, Mo Shang, and Miao Poxiao, and the four of them found an inconspicuous place to sit down in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Although Miao Poxiao has a unique look, there are people in the inn who have even more exaggerated looks than Miao Poxiao.
After calling the waiter and ordering some food and tea, Zhang Yao and others ate and listened.
Although it was not a meal, there were many people in the inn, and the lobby on the first floor was very noisy.
Listening to everyone chatting, Zhang Yao and others learned a lot of things.
There are only ten days left before this year's tribute is paid.
Luolei City is divided into an inner city and an outer city.
The City Lord's Palace, the Monk's Palace, and the Eternal Palace are all located in the inner city.
The ten major families in Luo Lei City are all located in the outer city.
Other cities on the mainland of China generally have this layout. The inner city is the place of the three mansions, and the outer city is the place of the aristocratic families.
The place where Zhang Yao is located is also called the Immortal Realm!
In the world of immortality, the most powerful forces are not the city lords' mansions and aristocratic families in each city, but the eight sects of immortality!
The eight sects of the Immortal Way are: Guiyi Sect, Ice Sect, Huangji Sect, Thunder Fire Sect, Nixia Sect, Qingyun Sect, Tianxiao Sect, and Yanyue Sect.
When the annual tribute begins, it is also the time when the eight Immortal Sects select their disciples together.
This year's selection of eight disciples will begin in ten days.
At that time, the forbidden area in the Immortal Realm will be opened, and all those who can participate in the election will enter the forbidden area.
People from aristocratic families in each city will participate in the selection of the eight sects.
The City Lord's Mansion is a direct subordinate agency of each sect and does not participate in the selection of disciples of the eight sects.
Even if people in the monk's mansion become monks, they are not qualified to participate in the selection of disciples of the eight sects. They are only qualified to follow the disciples of the eight sects.
To put it bluntly, after entering a monk's residence, even if you become a monk, your highest position in the future will be to be a servant to the eight sects.
Every year when the eight sects select disciples, there will be a seed monk in the territory of the eight sects.
The so-called seed monks are the monks who are expected to stand out from the many candidates, come out on top, and win the first place in the selection of eight disciples.
When the selection was over, the first monk was naturally from the Immortal World.
But reputation is only secondary.
If there is only one false name, there may be people who care about it, but it will definitely not be too many. In addition to reputation, there are also many practical benefits of being first.
One of the benefits, which is almost certain every year, is that the monks who get the first place in the selection of disciples from the eight sects can choose which sect they want to enter to practice.
And those below the first place can only wait to be selected by the eight sects.
At this time of year, the names of the Eight Great Seed Monks are known to almost everyone and are talked about with great interest.
This year is no exception.
The seed monk in Guiyi Sect’s territory is Yu Qiushui.
The Ice Sect is Lu Bingze.
The emperor's sect is Xie Jinyang.
The Thunder Fire Sect is Ling Haoran.
The Nixia sect is Li Zhangyun.
The name of Qingyun Sect is Yuntingqian.
The Tianxiao Sect is Chen Hongyu.
The sect of concealing the moon is riding the wind at night.
These eight people have become more popular recently, even surpassing the heads of the Eight Immortal Sects.
In addition to the popularity of these eight people, there is another thing that is also talked about.
Elder Zhong Xihan of the Huangji Sect was seriously injured some time ago. He has not yet found a life-saving medicine and his life is in danger.
If a good medicine is not found, Huangji Sect will lose an elder-level figure!
Hearing this, Zhang Yao's heart moved.
I wonder which of the eight immortal sects Yin Tingxue and others are disciples of?
Yin Tingxue and others entered the Guzong boundary to search for golden ginseng. Is there any relationship with Elder Zhong Xihan of the Huangji Sect?
The above are almost widely circulated news in the entire Chinese mainland. Luo Lei City has also been very lively recently, and there are many things that people are talking about.
Zhang Yao and others were not in a hurry and continued to listen while eating dishes and tea.
"The Ye family posted a list and paid a lot of money to recruit casual cultivators to join the family. They offered many benefits, which is really exciting."
"Since you are interested, why don't you give it a try?"
"Hey, the Ye family is recruiting third-grade monks and below. I am already in the fourth-grade realm, so I can't go."
"Oh, I just arrived in Luolei City today. I'm new here, and I didn't know there was such a good thing in the city. Please forgive me for being presumptuous, and I dare to ask what kind of benefits the Ye family offers?" When a casual cultivator from outside heard this, his thoughts changed, and he hurriedly
He asked. He happened to be a third-grade monk, so he seemed to have a chance.
"There are many benefits! As long as you are willing to join the Ye family, you will be granted the position of deputy head of the Ye family and enjoy the salary of the deputy head of the Ye family. In the Ye family, besides the head of the Ye family, you are the biggest! Do you think this has many benefits?
How many? Is it big?”
The position of deputy head of the Ye family!
Enough!
Big enough!
After hearing this, the casual cultivator's eyes shone, as there were such benefits, and it seemed that the Ye family in Luo Lei City had not hired a suitable candidate yet.
Good opportunity!
The casual cultivator is not stupid. This is indeed a good opportunity, but since the Ye family offers such favorable conditions, they must have something to ask for. The casual cultivator asked again: "I wonder what conditions the Ye family has?"
"Of course." The person who spoke before replied with a smile.
The casual cultivator pricked up his ears.
"I want to participate in this year's eight disciple selections for the Ye family."
The casual cultivator was overjoyed, this was not a condition, it was clearly a benefit!
Only people from aristocratic families can participate in the selection of disciples of the Eight Sects, and casual cultivators do not have this qualification.
Casual cultivators are only qualified to join the monks' mansion. But joining the monks' mansion is equivalent to waiting to be a servant of the eight sects.
When the casual cultivators heard this, they couldn't sit still. This is a good thing that falls in the sky, and it is rare to get it. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
"Thank you friend for letting me know, I'm going to try my luck." The casual cultivator bowed his hands and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
"This is one thing. Wait until you hear another thing before you try your luck at Ye's house."
The casual cultivator suppressed his eagerness and thought, could there be any better thing than the Ye family's announcement of the list?
"The Ye family has not brought out the statue of the Immortal Emperor from the forbidden area for two consecutive years. If they are unable to bring out the statue of the Immortal Emperor from the forbidden area this year, they will be deprived of their aristocratic status by the Thunder Fire Sect. Since my brother is going to the Ye family, he must
Be confident and have the strength to bring out the Immortal Emperor's portrait from the forbidden land for the Ye family this year. Otherwise, even if my brother joins the Ye family, he can only be the deputy head of the Ye family for ten days at most."
"Entering the forbidden area and bringing out the Immortal Emperor's statue is a bit difficult, but it may not be impossible." The casual cultivator looked confident. He was a third-grade cultivator.
Although he has never participated in the selection of disciples of the Eight Sects, there are still some things that casual cultivators know. Every year the forbidden area opens and the Eight Sects select disciples. Although there are many people participating in the selection, not many of them have reached the third level. If he
Go, not to mention how many portraits of the Immortal Emperor you bring out, just one or two, there is still no problem.
"Haha, brother, you are really confident! Another thing is that three years ago, the Ye family offended the Ling family, the first aristocratic family in Luo Lei City, and the Chu family, the second aristocratic family..."
When the casual cultivators heard about it, their expressions changed drastically. No wonder the Ye family paid a lot of money to invite casual cultivators to join the family, but no one was willing to join the Ye family.
I see.
The Ye family offended the Ling family, the first family in Luo Lei City, and the Chu family, the second family in Luo Lei City, so they failed to bring out the Immortal Emperor's portrait from the forbidden area for two consecutive years.
If you join the Ye family, it will be equivalent to starting a war with the first and second aristocratic families in Luo Lei City, the Ling family, and the Chu family!
The Ye family, ranked tenth, is no match for the Ling family and the Chu family.
He, a small casual cultivator, would be crushed to pieces when faced with the first and second largest aristocratic families in Luo Lei City.
"It seems that brother has figured out the reason. Do you want to try your luck?" the speaker asked with a smile.
The casual cultivator shook his head like a rattle and said: "Although the benefits are tempting, life is more important. Besides, to offend the first family, the Ling family, and the second family, the Chu family, at the same time, there must be something hateful about the Ye family! People from the Ye family are consecutive
I deserved it for not bringing out the Immortal Emperor's portrait from the forbidden area for two years. This year is the last year, and it should also be the year when the Ye family is destroyed."
There were many people in the inn, and the casual cultivators were worried that word would spread that he was going to the Ye family to try his luck, which would arouse the jealousy of the Ling family, the first family in Luo Lei City, and the Chu family, the second family, so they quickly expressed their stance and cursed the Ye family.
As for the consequences of cursing the Ye family, the casual cultivator is not worried. The Ye family has offended the Ling family and the Chu family, and its destruction is very close. There is no way to care about him, a small casual cultivator.
Seeing the casual cultivator looking like this, everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, like a thunderbolt falling into the inn, strangling the necks of everyone in the room who were laughing.
Zhang Yao turned around and saw not far away from the inn, a young man in white slowly stood up and glared at the casual cultivator.
There was a mess in front of the young man in white. The loud thunder just now was caused by the young man in white smashing the table in front of him.
The casual cultivator had just cursed the Ye family, and he knew that the angry young man in white might have something to do with the Ye family in Luo Lei City, so he turned his head away and did not look at the young man in white.
The white-clothed young man's chest was rising and falling, his fists were clenched, his eyes were filled with rage, and his face was filled with murderous intent, as if he wished he could beat the casual cultivator to death.
Zhang Yao's heart moved, this young man in white must have some connection with the Ye family!
"Sir, let's go back." Next to the young master in white, there was a servant in blue. The servant in blue also glared at the casual cultivator, and then persuaded his young master.
"The Ye family has indeed offended the Ling family and the Chu family, but it is definitely not what they deserve! The Ling family and the Chu family want to destroy the Ye family, but the Ye family must live well!" The young man in white seems to be afraid to do anything drastic in public.
Even though he was filled with anger, after taking a deep breath, he finally just stared at the casual cultivator and uttered one or two words from his mouth.
After saying that, the young man in white didn't seem to want to stay in the inn anymore, so he threw out some silver coins to compensate for the loss of the inn. Then he took the servants in blue and left with the sleeves rolled up.
After the young man in white made such a fuss, some people seemed to have lost interest and got up and left the inn.
"It was a good meal, but someone spoiled me and I stopped eating."
Zhang Yao slapped some silver coins on the table, took Miao Poxiao, Mo Ling'er, and Mo Shang, and followed these people out of the inn, which was not too out of the ordinary.
