The county seat of Jiuyou County, the governor's mansion, and the residence of the inner mansion elder 'Zheng Qiu'.
"Duan Lingtian, you need to change your temper and character... It's also your good luck this time, otherwise, as you did when you seriously injured Zhou Fei half a year ago, you would still have to shed your skin even if you didn't die!"
Zheng Qiu looked at Duan Lingtian and said solemnly.
In his opinion:
Half a year ago, if the special envoy from the Prince of Qin's Palace had not arrived in time and conveyed Prince Qin's words to the governor of Jiuyou County, Duan Lingtian would have been doomed. After all, the person he seriously injured was Zhou Fei, Zhou Tong's adopted son!
Zhou Tong, on the other hand, has always protected his shortcomings.
It would be nice if Duan Lingtian was willing to join Zhou Tong's sect, and he might be able to put an end to his past feud.
But the problem is, he knows that it is impossible for Duan Lingtian to become Zhou Tong's sect.
"This time, you escaped the disaster...but if there is a next time, you may not be able to escape the disaster!"
Zheng Qiu said in a deep voice: "Your talent is extraordinary, but among the many heavenly planes like 'Lingluotian', there are not a few people with extraordinary talents like you... among those people, there are many It was because of your temper that you died young."
"In the planes of the heavens, if you want to have the last laugh, you can't just have talent and brute strength!"
When Zheng Qiu spoke later, his tone became more educational.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He naturally understood this. If he had not thought of more than one way to deal with the 'consequences' of that incident, he would not have recklessly cut off Zhou Fei's limbs and crippled Zhou Fei.
However, in front of Zheng Qiu, he did not intend to explain, and it was not convenient for him to explain.
"Elder Zheng Qiu!"
Duan Lingtian stared at Zheng Qiu with stern eyes and asked straight to the point: "Why did you take the blame for me half a year ago? You just said that I was lucky. Is that what you were talking about?"
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Duan Lingtian knew this very well.
"Half a year ago, I took that 'blame' for you because of the instructions of the county governor..."
Zheng Qiu said.
Before Zheng Qiu finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's pupils couldn't help but shrink again, and then he whispered, interrupting Zheng Qiu's words, and asked: "You mean... half a year ago, you memorized that for me The scapegoat actually means the governor of our Jiuyou County?"
"yes."
Zheng Qiu nodded.
"Why?"
Duan Lingtian never expected that half a year ago, Zheng Qiu took the blame for him and helped him solve the matter because of the instructions of the governor of Jiuyou County.
It was precisely because of the instructions from the governor of Jiuyou County that Zheng Qiu took the blame.
However, he couldn't figure out why the governor of Jiuyou County did that.
That Jiuyou County Sheriff, let alone before, even after he came to the Jiuyou County City and the Sheriff's Mansion, he had never seen him before.
Since you haven't seen him before, why should you help him?
He really couldn't figure it out.
"Because of the 'Sixteen Counties Military Competition' two and a half years later."
Zheng Qiu said.
"Sixteen counties compete in martial arts?"
Duan Lingtian looked confused, "What is that?"
"You should know that there are a total of sixteen counties under the command of 'Prince Qin's Mansion'... and one of them is our 'Jiuyou County'."
Zheng Qiu said.
Duan Lingtian nodded, he knew this.
There are a total of sixteen counties within the area under the control of the Qin Palace, one of which is 'Jiuyou County'.
Just like the cities under the jurisdiction of Jiuyou County, such as Xueyou City, must hand over fairy stones to Jiuyou County every year, the counties and cities under the command of the Prince of Qin, such as Jiuyou County, must also hand over a large number of fairy stones to the Prince of Qin's Mansion every year. .
The relationship between Prince Qin's Mansion and Jiuyou County is subordinate.
"Including you, the Golden Immortal powerhouse who is less than a hundred years old like you, our Jiuyou County Sheriff's Mansion collected a total of thirty people half a year ago...that is, a group of young powerhouses who now live in Qianlongyuan. This point , you should also know."
Zheng Qiu said.
Duan Lingtian continued to nod.
"Half a year ago, our Jiuyou County collected these thirty strong men. I only know that it was the instruction from Prince Qin's Mansion. As for the specific reason, I don't know much about it. I told you about this half a year ago."
Zheng Qiu continued.
"And just half a year ago, on the third day after you broke off Zhou Fei's limbs and seriously injured Zhou Fei, our Jiuyou County welcomed a special envoy from the Prince of Qin's Palace."
"The special envoy from the Prince of Qin's Palace came to our Jiuyou County to see the Governor of our Jiuyou County... After he saw the Governor, he conveyed the words of the King of Qin: Three years later, the Palace of Qin will hold the '16th The county meets martial arts'."
"And those who participate in the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' can only be powerful Golden Immortals who are less than a hundred years old in the area controlled by the Qin Prince's Mansion."
"At that time, the county guard also knew the reason why the Prince of Qin's Palace ordered each of the sixteen counties, including our Jiuyou County, to collect thirty of the most outstanding golden immortals who were less than a hundred years old... It turned out that the Palace of the Prince of Qin Preparations for the 'Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition'."
At this point, Zheng Qiu paused and did not continue talking for the time being.
"In other words... a group of people, including me, who currently live in Qianlongyuan, the county governor's mansion, will participate in the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' in two and a half years? And our opponent will be someone else. A group of powerful Golden Immortals under a hundred years old gathered from fifteen counties?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"yes."
Zheng Qiu nodded, "This time the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition', the Prince of Qin's Mansion attaches great importance to it... According to the governor, the Prince of Qin's Mansion will not only give generous rewards to the top ten who win the Martial Arts Competition of the Sixteen Counties" As a reward, the counties behind the top ten will also receive generous rewards."
"Among them, the counties behind the top three people who win the martial arts competition in the sixteen counties will all get the middle-grade elixir 'Da Luo Dan'!"
"The county behind the person who won the 'first' in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition will receive three large rodans; the county behind the person who won the 'second' place will receive two large rodans; The county behind the 'third' person can also get a big Rodan."
Zheng Qiu finished speaking in one breath.
"Big Rodin?"
Duan Lingtian took a breath of air and felt that Prince Qin's palace was such a big deal!
He naturally knows what Da Rodan is.
That is an elixir that can help a Purple Sun Golden Immortal achieve a 100% breakthrough and become a 'Daluo Golden Immortal'. It is even more precious than most high-grade elixirs. The average middle-grade alchemy immortal master cannot refine it at all. Only those who possess a specific elixir can Only an alchemy master with a medium-grade fire or above can refine it.
In addition, even if you are a Daluo Jinxian, you can greatly improve your cultivation by taking the Daluo Pill.
If some Da Luo Jinxian encounters a bottleneck in the process of improving their cultivation, they can break through the bottleneck by taking Da Luo Dan and step into the next level of cultivation!
One can imagine how precious Rodan is.
"Judging from your appearance, you should also know how precious the middle-grade elixir 'Da Luo Dan' is, right?"
Zheng Qiu asked.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then couldn't help but frown, looked at Zheng Qiu with great confusion and asked: "Elder Zheng Qiu, do you know why the Qin Palace holds this 'Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition'?"
He always felt that the Qin Prince's Mansion held a sixteen-county military competition, which should be more than just recruiting rising stars.
You know, the Prince of Qin's Mansion took out six middle-grade elixirs, 'Da Luo Dan', for these sixteen counties to compete in martial arts!
"I am not sure as well."
Zheng Qiu originally wanted to say that the Qin Palace was recruiting talents, but then he thought about it and thought of the Qin Palace's generous offer of six Rodan. For a moment, he felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Now, you should know...why did the Sheriff let me take the initiative to take the blame?"
Zheng Qiu asked.
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed and he nodded.
He is not stupid.
After Zheng Qiu talked about the sixteen-county martial arts competition and the reward for the county behind the top three, the 'Great Luo Dan', he already knew why the governor of Jiuyou County was so protective of him, a stranger. Meet the people.
"In that case... I would also like to thank the special envoy from Prince Qin's Palace for his timely arrival."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
Only then did he know:
It turned out that, unknowingly, he, an unknown boy who had just come over from Xueyou City, in the eyes of the Sheriff of Jiuyou County, already had someone comparable to the number one priest in the Sheriff's Mansion, 'Zhou Tong' , even a superior position.
"Without me, Zhou Tong's adopted son 'Zhou Fei' would definitely become the hope in the eyes of the Sheriff of Jiuyou County... But when I came to the Sheriff's Mansion from Blood Nether City, I defeated Zhou Fei easily and was even more seriously injured. After Zhou Fei, he turned his hope to me."
"After all, judging from the strength I showed half a year ago... I have a much greater chance of winning the 'top three' in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition than Zhou Fei did!"
Duan Lingtian is also aware of this now.
suddenly.
"Zheng Qiu!!"
When Duan Lingtian was about to say hello to Zheng Qiu and leave, an old voice like thunder came from outside the courtyard where Zheng Qiu lived. The voice was full of anger.
It was as if Zheng Qiu hated him for killing his father and taking away his wife.
"Um?"
Duan Lingtian, who was just about to say hello to Zheng Qiu and leave, couldn't help but be startled when he heard this extremely angry voice.
At the same time, he subconsciously looked at Zheng Qiu.
"It's Zhou Tong's offering!"
When Duan Lingtian looked at Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu's eyes narrowed, "It seems that he is out of isolation today..."
Zheng Qiu was mentally prepared that Zhou Tong would come to trouble him after he left seclusion.
Therefore, even if Zhou Tong came now, he would not panic at all.
Whoosh!
Zheng Qiu raised his hand and took out a jade slip. When his immortal power was injected into it, the jade slip suddenly turned into a swift stream of light and left his courtyard at an extremely fast speed.
Duan Lingtian recognized it at a glance, it was a 'message talisman'.
As for Zheng Qiu's message to him, it was not difficult for him to guess.
Among the governor's mansions in Jiuyou County, there is only one person who can suppress the number one worshiper of 'Zhou Tong' in the governor's mansion:
Sheriff of Jiuyou County, Tian Jiyu!
