The city where Taiqingmen is located is called Qingtian City, which is located on the great plain in the central part of Lingxi Province.
Because it is located on an important commercial road and has the Taiqing Gate, Qingtian City has been the most prosperous city in the entire Lingxi Province for a long time.
Since arriving in this plain, Lin Xing can feel that the towns and counties along the way are much more lively, the population is becoming more and more dense, and there are even fewer bandits.
Compared with the areas he passed before, Lin Xing could clearly feel that the Taiqing Sect had indeed protected a safe place.
At this moment, Lin Xing had put on a human skin mask and turned into another stranger.
He and Bai Yiyi sat in a carriage and drove slowly towards Qingtian City not far away.
Lin Xing glanced at Master Bai sitting next to him with some pity.
Two days ago, under the other's repeated insistence, they finally bought a horse in a town they were passing by.
Moreover, the person driving the horse at this moment is no longer Master Bai, but Master Bai's apprentice Zhao Wanxi.
After all, Master Bai even said things like "If you want me to pull a cart at Taiqing Gate, you might as well let me die", "If you dare to mention this at Taiqing Gate, don't blame me, ancestor, for turning your back on me and not recognizing anyone" and so on. heap.
So Lin Xing could only give up his original high-speed action method and watch the speed of the car suddenly decrease.
At this moment, Lin Xing saw a huge archway far away, with the two characters Taiqing written on it, which seemed to indicate that he had entered the territory of Taiqing Gate.
As he got closer to Qingtian City, Lin Xing saw the majestic city walls and the huge tower standing in the center of the city from a distance.
It can be said that after traveling all the way through the Mirror World, the Qingtian City in front of him is definitely the largest and most majestic city Lin Xing has ever seen.
Even before he actually entered the city, just by passing through the towns and streets outside the city, Lin Xing saw an endless stream of caravans and shops.
The puppet girl on the side sighed: "I haven't been back for a long time, and the outside of Qingtian City is more lively than before."
Zhao Wanxi looked at the many warriors on the road who were either carrying weapons or wearing armor and said in surprise: "There are many martial arts practitioners here."
Bai Yiyi said with a hint of pride: "Taiqingmen is the Taishan Beidou among the nine sects, one of the holy places of martial arts in the north. Every year, countless warriors with dreams come here to study."
"From now on, just follow me. This is my ancestor's territory..."
Listening to Bai Yiyi's words, Zhao Wanxi could not help but feel a hint of expectation in her heart.
When the carriage was still a few kilometers away from the city wall, Lin Xing discovered that there were more and more shops on both sides of the road, and huge signboards could not wait to be placed in the middle of the road.
"The Great Qing Martial Arts School."
"Qingtian Martial Arts Headquarters"
"Tai Qing Martial Arts Association."
Bai Yiyi looked at the dazzling array of martial arts gyms and wondered, "Why are there so many martial arts gyms?"
As if hearing the puppet girl's shock, a man on the side suddenly said: "The girl doesn't know something now."
"Since the Taiqing Sect's leader wanted to revive the martial arts community in Lingxi Province ten years ago, it has developed vigorously over the years. Now there are more than a hundred martial arts schools inside and outside Qingtian City alone."
Bai Yiyi was shocked: "Can there be so many students?"
The man on the roadside chuckled: "How could it not be possible? The Taiqing Sect accepts disciples, and the best materials and beautiful jade are all personally inspired by the masters of the sect.
"But most of us are not so lucky. We have to take the martial arts test once a year. Only by passing the martial arts test can we get started."
"There are too many people who fail to pass the martial arts exam every year, and they all want to live here and wait for the exam next year. More and more people gather here every year, and gradually other businesses start to appear. For example, some people come here to open martial arts schools and help people. Prepare for the martial arts exam."
"More martial arts schools are opening, martial arts are becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more people are coming here to study. Even if they can't enter the Taiqing Sect, they can study in the martial arts halls here for a few years, and they will be masters in the future."
After finishing speaking, the man said kindly: "Are you guys here to study in Qingtian City? Are you afraid to tell them that the martial arts schools in this city are a mixed bag, and only our Daqing Martial Arts School is the direct descendant of the Taiqing Sect..."
After sending away the man who recommended the martial arts school, Bai Yiyi said in disbelief: "The Taiqing Sect has turned into this."
She was thinking a lot in her mind, but she couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad.
At this moment, Lin Xing found many people standing on the roadside holding signs.
"When I was young, I entered the Zhongwu Sect! Copper skin and iron bones cast the soul!"
"My enemies have already come to practice martial arts, why don't you come?"
"Inner disciples of the Taiqing Sect teach martial arts one-to-one."
Looking at the slogans on the brands, Lin Xing thought to himself: "The style here...how can it give me a little bit of a real-world feeling?"
When they saw Lin Xing's carriage, a group of people immediately came towards them and introduced them to their martial arts gym.
After finally entering the city, on the way to the inn, I saw five or six martial arts competitions in the ring alone.
After arriving at the inn, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but feel doubtful and asked the waiter about the current information of Taiqing Sect.
This time, she found that many things were different from what she remembered.
The puppet girl's tone was calm, but she rushed into the room loudly, holding a few pieces of paper and said to Lin Xing: "Lin Xing, I know there is a way to learn Taiqing Sect's "Echoing and Reincarnation Chapter"!"
"It turns out that the Taiqing Sect has now opened an outer door. The outer door has no restrictions on qualifications, origins, or age. You can join as long as you pay a registration fee of one hundred taels!"
Bai Yiyi said excitedly: "After joining the outer sect, you will become a ninth-level warrior of the Taiqing Sect. Next, as long as you introduce five more people to join the outer sect within a month, and pass the internal assessment, you can be promoted to an eighth-level warrior. I can still get a little bit of the registration fee.”
"After becoming an eighth-grade warrior, introduce ten more people to join the outer sect within a month. After passing the internal assessment, they can be promoted to a seventh-grade warrior..."
The puppet girl talked about how to become a first-grade warrior: "...as long as three more second-grade warriors are trained, and after the examination and approval of the elders in the sect, they can be promoted to first-grade warriors."
Bai Yiyi said excitedly: "After becoming a first-level warrior, you can meet the sect master and become the direct disciple of the sect master of Taiqing Sect."
The more Lin Xing listened on the side, the more he felt something was wrong. Now he asked: "Where did you find out about this?"
Bai Yiyi said: "The waiter, it turns out that he is an outer disciple of the Taiqing Sect. We can be regarded as students from the same sect."
Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "I feel like this might be a scam, or that to become a first-level warrior requires a huge amount of time, energy, or a huge amount of money, it may not be successful."
Bai Yiyi was surprised and said: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Taiqing Sect lie to people?"
"Then let me do the math for you..."
After Lin Xing's repeated explanations, Bai Yiyi struggled and said: "How is it possible... How is it possible for Taiqing Sect..."
Looking at the disappointed Bai Yiyi, Lin Xing said: "The changes in the Taiqing Gate started ten years ago, right? Ten years ago was exactly when the official record was that the 'Gate' opened for the first time."
"The reason Taiqing Sect has become like this may have something to do with the leader of Xingxiao Sect."
Lin Xing continued: "I also asked for some information about Taiqing Sect. It seems that as long as you pay five taels of silver, you can enter Taiqing Sect and visit."
"Anyway, let's go in and take a look tomorrow."
Sorry, as I get older, my reactions are getting slower and my memory is getting worse. It seems that the last half month of updating has reached its limit. I got stuck yesterday and wrote from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. The quality is still not satisfactory, so I finally decided to overturn and rewrite it. I can only update one chapter for now.
