"I heard that Mr. Hua, the master of martial arts, is the favorite to win the championship. According to the rules of martial arts for the younger generation, all young and strong men from the four major clans who are no more than fifteen years old are qualified to compete on the stage. Not only does Mr. Hua His age just meets this requirement, and his cultivation is also among the best among the younger generation of the four major families. I must be sure that he will be the champion, right?" The clerk asked in a flattering manner.
"Haha, you are flattering me with your words. I have indeed taken advantage of you. For example, the champion of the last martial arts debate, Mo Juan from the Mo family, this time is just over the age limit, and she has already joined the beast. Within the Shenzong, one is not allowed to participate in the war on behalf of the family." Although the young man's tone seemed quite modest, the pride in his expression was hard to conceal.
"And I have just received news that Mo Lu, the so-called extremely talented person in the Mo family, has been accepted into the Shigu Sect. It is said that he committed a taboo in the clan when he first entered Dongyun Mountain for training, and he seems to have been sentenced to solitary confinement at home. For two or three years, I have basically missed the opportunity to participate in this martial arts competition. Although I don't take this guy's cultivation seriously at all, but his character is sinister and he will retaliate. I'm worried that he will use the Shigu Sect as a backer to get him out of trouble. It’s a bit silly, but now it’s a worry for me.”
"Congratulations to the young master, then I guess the Nangong family and the Gongye family won't have anything to worry about, right?" The clerk followed the other person's words and continued to flatter him.
Hong Zihua also nodded and smiled: "Yes, although Gongye Qingwen has some abilities, I know her trump card and will definitely not be my opponent. As for the genius of the Nangong family, you must have heard of one That accident a month ago, right? Nangong Xin, who was supposed to show off his talents, actually damaged his training foundation while practicing his clan's ancestral secret skill [Dang Kou Spear Technique]. Now let alone taking action, it is unclear whether he can continue to practice in the future. It’s hard to say yet.”
"It is said that the Nangong clan leader intends to spend a sky-high price to bid for the [Bone Shaping Pill] that can reshape the foundation of martial arts at the auction three days later, so as to rebuild his martial arts veins and treat his son's illness. However, even if he does not mention whether he can successfully transform his Take a photo, even if a miracle happens and Nangong Xin rebuilds his foundation, he will definitely not be able to restore his cultivation to the original level within half a month, and it is absolutely impossible to compete with me."
"Haha, I would like to congratulate Mr. Zihua in advance for winning the crown... Huh? It turns out to be this young hero. It seems that your fighting spirit has been successfully condensed. Congratulations!" The clerk was about to continue. While he was saying a few compliments, he suddenly noticed Tianjihong walking slowly up the corridor.
Tian Jihong, who was in a good mood at this time, also showed a rare smile of joy. In the past half hour, he had successfully contained the warrior soul into his body with the help of a middle-aged soul condensing master. .
Today, Jihong can clearly sense that the warrior soul, which is in the shape of an octahedron and is constantly hovering about an inch above the Dantian, is being implicated in the soul power generated by the constant sea of consciousness. Under mutual nourishment and blessing, not only This caused the circulation and detection range of the whole body's soul power to increase by 20 to 30%. It also caused the slightly stagnant spiritual power flowing in the body to become smoother and more powerful after integrating the soul power. At this time, I had something in my heart. I have great confidence. If I fight Na Molu with my current training, I can easily win him in less than a dozen rounds.
"Thank you very much for your help. If I have any need for fighting spirit condensation in the future, I will give priority to your organization." Tianjihong said gratefully, and his eyes inadvertently turned to Hong Zihua who was staring at him; As his soul power increased greatly, Tianjihong had already noticed that the latter was extraordinary before he even went down to the first floor hall. He was probably another young hero who could rival Rokkakino in strength.
"It seems that this young hero is the young hero you mentioned before who came here alone to condense the fighting spirit, right? At such an age, he does have some talent for cultivation. I haven't asked you for your name yet?" Then Hong Zihua saw Zhuang didn't hold back and directly inquired about Tianjihong's origins.
"Thank you for your concern, young hero. I am just an unknown person from a different place. My name is...er...Lin Hong." After the previous encounter with the Mo family in Dongyun Mountain, Tianjihong would definitely not dare to return easily at this time. He used the original name of Mo Hong, so the first thing he thought of was the surname of the shopkeeper Lin of the village inn, so he said it casually.
"I'm glad to meet you. I see that Young Master Lin is very talented. Are you interested in joining my Hong family? If you succeed in the future, you can also directly name me as a member of the Hong family." Hong Zihua is not at all like the Mo family before. Beat around the bush and just open your mouth to win over.
In fact, this is also related to the consistent behavior of the Hong family behind it. Among the four major families in Dongsheng Town, the Hong family is the most tolerant of outside heroes. The family has special training and recruitment rules for the younger generation of monks with outstanding talents. Even Hong Zihua himself was actually a young man. As a person with a different surname, he had a distant marriage with the Hong family and was given the surname Hong after he was recruited into the Hong family.
So for Tian Jihong, a young hero who had nothing to do with all the forces in Dongsheng Town, Hong Zihua's words to win over him were actually said out of habit without much thought. It's just a pity that no matter whether the other party asks intentionally or accidentally, Tianjihong, who is already sensitive about his identity and has already planned his future destination, naturally cannot choose such a clan that he doesn't know to join, so he has to be careful. Declined the other party's invitation.
"What a pity! Anyway, since Young Master Lin doesn't have such intention, it's not convenient for me to keep you anymore." Hong Zihua didn't show too much attitude of trying to persuade you to stay. After all, with his knowledge, he has never seen Tianjihong's achievements. At that time, it was impossible to see the terrifying combat power and huge potential of the latter that was inconsistent with his true cultivation. Among people of the same generation as Tianjihong, although the talent of a monk who has reached the Kaiyuan Realm and condensed the fighting spirit at this age is considered outstanding, he is still not at the level of a genius and is not worthy of his too much attention.
"I hope that in the future, little brother, when you don't know which force to choose to join, you can consider my Hong family's recruitment today. I have some other things to do, so I will leave first," After saying that, Hong Zihua nodded to say goodbye, and then turned around He warned the clerk, "You have to keep an eye on Mr. Guan. You also know the rules. He must stay in the store for at least a day or two. If nothing important happens during this period, you must not disturb him easily." , I won’t stay here any longer.”
"Don't worry, young master, I will arrange for guards to keep an eye on you all day long." The clerk lowered his head and agreed to Hong Zihua's departing back.
Naturally, Tianjihong knew nothing about the major event of refining the holy soul in the museum. At this time, after pondering the words of the two for a while but having no clue, he had to give up. He had other things to attend to when he came to Dongsheng Town on this trip, so after hurriedly checking out and paying the fee for the Soul Condensation, he did not stay here any longer and instead headed towards the market on the side of West Street.
As mentioned before, in Dongsheng Town, where people are mixed, there is no such thing as regional division. Even if it is not on the West Street where the monks gather, there are still various markets or vendors selling along the street. However, if we talk about the trading place most frequently visited by monks in Dongsheng Town, it is definitely the shopping mall in the back of West Street.
On the side street near the north side, there are densely packed monks from all over the world who have come here for business. In an open space that is half the size of a village, they set up stalls to sell or buy. Compared with the commercial district in the center of the town, which has the same purpose, the only difference here is that the goods traded here are all related to cultivation, and the merchants selling them are all composed of monks. Ordinary mortals are not allowed to come here. Traded here.
This rule was specified by [Tianbao Pavilion], the leading business leader in Dongsheng Town, with branches all over the Douwu Continent. The purpose is to specifically demarcate a pure land for monk trade and facilitate the circulation of the market. . The former is located on the most eye-catching square at the end of the street. Tianjihong now spans half a block, and you can clearly see the tall and magnificent Eight Towers at the end of the street when you look up. The layout of the multi-storey pavilion was more grand and graceful than the courtyard of the mercenary union that I had seen before on West Street.
Under Tianbao Pavilion, entrenched on the periphery of the Trade Plaza, are the four forces currently qualified to intervene in the overall business environment and price determination of Dongsheng Town, namely [Tianqing Chamber of Commerce], [Wanjin Chamber of Commerce], and the four major The [Sihai Chamber of Commerce] jointly supported by the family, and the [Qinghong Chamber of Commerce], which was established by the two major martial arts gyms in Dongsheng Town and joined by more than ten small martial arts gyms, specifically to serve martial arts participants.
Except for the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, these four major forces are all local industries in Dongsheng Town, and they can be said to be local snakes. In addition, there are five forces in Tianbao Pavilion, whose industries cover almost 80% of the entire monk trade in the town, including weapons and equipment, spiritual beasts and magic cores, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, breakthrough materials, and healing pills. Almost all monk-related transactions, such as medicines and treasure arrays. Those above the square who are qualified to set up stalls and sell goods here must at least obtain the permission of one of the forces before they can be qualified to stay.
Compared with regular shops on West Street or in the center of the town, the advantage of setting up stalls here is freedom of trade. As long as both parties agree, the price of the goods can be deviated from the market standards, and the range of goods covered here is clearly classified. The store is obviously bigger. If you trade here, firstly, there are five major forces to ensure the safety of the transaction. No one is allowed to do anything in the square; secondly, in a mixed environment, even if you have a heavy treasure, you can't do it. It would be so easy to be targeted.
