The Dark City is built under the shade of ancient fairy trees that never see the light of day all year round. The city is huge and can accommodate millions of people.

It is rumored that the first Lord of Dark City was a fruit from an ancient fairy tree that absorbed the essence of moonlight over the years and cultivated into human form.

Later, he became a disciple of an immortal and practiced cultivation. Finally, in order to repay the kindness of the ancient immortal tree for raising him, he built a city under the shade of the ancient immortal tree and named it Dark City.

The ancient Immortal Tree was originally the Dark Tree of the Demon Realm, which had slaughtered hundreds of millions of living beings. When the True Emperor found out, he was furious, so he entered the Demon Realm and used his three-inch tongue to continuously influence the Dark Dark Tree. It took three thousand years to order the Dark Dark Tree.

The tree became free from demons and became a Taoist, and came to the land of the human race with Emperor Zhenme, and turned into a fairy tree.

But unfortunately, due to the incompatibility of the soil and water, the ancient fairy tree began to wither after bearing the first fairy fruit. It also incurred heaven's punishment and thunder disaster, and now it has no vitality.

Looking at the ancient immortal tree that covered the sky and the sun, Xun Tian was completely shocked. This must be the only way to see such towering ancient trees in this world of immortal cultivation.

The gates of Dark City will be closed as soon as it gets dark, and he arrived at the city gate just in time before the gates were closed.

"I'll send you here so you can take care of yourself." After the old driver said that, he turned around and left. Looking at a middle-aged man who entered the city and handed over two immortal coins, Xun Tian hesitated for a moment and shouted to the old driver: "Old man

Sir, please stay."

"What else is there?" The old driver seemed a little impatient.

Xun Tian had to scratch his ears and said with a smile: "Hey, I have no money. Mr., can you lend me some and I will pay you back later."

The old driver was startled after hearing this, and then he took out two immortal coins and threw them to him: "No need to pay them back."

"It's not very good, okay." Although he was a little embarrassed, a penny could stump a heroic man, not to mention that now Xun Tian saw the soldiers guarding the city gate looking at him with contempt, feeling that he was worse than a bear.

Xun Tian didn't care about other people's eyes, but continued to ask: "I haven't asked the old gentleman what his name is yet."

The old man who drove the carriage had already boarded the carriage and said without looking back: "Zhenren Ziyang."

Xun Tian's heart beat twice when he heard this name. Gongsun Zhi, whose cultivation was abolished, was the disciple of Master Ziyang. How much debt did the old man owe Master Tianpeng by treating him like this?

He suddenly discovered that his stingy master was becoming more and more mysterious, but from the memory of his predecessor Xun Tian, ​​he did not inherit any memory of Master Tianpeng accepting him as his disciple or the Xun Tian family.

It couldn't be that it was erased. Xun Tian thought of a possibility.

"Hey, little guy, the city gate is about to close." The soldier guarding the city gate reminded.

"I'll go in right away." After handing over the immortal coin, Xun Tian realized that he was actually the last one to enter the city today.

The city is brightly lit, like another world, and because of the shade of the trees, the lights on both sides of the road are never extinguished. It seems that there is only night here and no day.

Of course, people who are accustomed to seeing the world in the city cannot understand at all the mood of Xun Tian who was looking up at the dark night sky and lost in thought.

No money to stay in a hotel? No money to eat? Not familiar with the place? Do you have to beg on the street? They say you need to survive in desperate situations, but where can you survive?

Just when Xun Tian felt helpless on the road to immortality, three middle-aged men dressed as waiters walked towards him.

"Does this guest want to stay in a hotel?" a waiter asked.

Another waiter rushed to say: "Guest, please come to our store, food and accommodation are not included, and there are pretty ladies to serve you."

"Our store is the best and cleanest in Dark City. Why don't you stay at our store?" The expression of the third clerk was very natural, at least not so artificial.

"But I have no money." Xun Tian replied honestly.

"Whatever money you want, as long as you have some cultivation and are young." The three guys said almost in unison.

"Is there such a thing?" Xun Tian was truly surprised.

"To tell you the truth," the third clerk said with a smile: "Our city lord is recruiting disciples through auditions. The requirements are that the cultivation level must be within the body refining realm, and the appearance must be dignified. I think, young master, your cultivation level is not low, and your appearance is extraordinary.

, so young, and expected to be selected, there just happened to be an order from above that each family needs to collect thirty places. Other families received the news in advance and snatched up all the people. Because of the lack of places, we stayed here all day long to see.

Are there any young people entering the city every day?”

Looking at the expectant eyes of the three waiters and the many people walking towards this side from a distance, Xun Tian nodded. Now he had no choice but to take one step at a time, so he said to the third waiter: "Uncle, please lead the way.

."

"Just call me Pando." The third waiter said cheerfully.

Soon, Xun Tian was taken to a refined and elegant inn by Pan Duo, and a banquet was arranged, accompanied by many maids.

In addition to Pan Duo, twenty-nine other young people also came to the seat. Only then did Xun Tian realize that he was the last one among the thirty places recruited by Pan Duo.

The last one to enter the city, the last quota, God really played a trick on him.

Xun Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when he thought about the city lord recruiting disciples, he ordered each family to provide thirty places. Pan Duo was just doing it for the family, and he happened to have nowhere to go at the moment. Let's see what happens next.

At a glance, the other twenty-nine people are all in the ninth level of body refining without exception, and they are all handsome in appearance and extraordinary in temperament. It seems that Pan Duo is not as easy-going as he seems on the surface, but a very rigorous person. After all, he is in the ninth level of body refining.

The Ninth Level Body Realm is already the pinnacle of the Body Refining Realm, and the hope of becoming the City Lord's disciple is also the highest.

It was only today that Xun Tian discovered that he was also a person of temperament. Otherwise, how could Pan Duo fall in love with him?

"You are vying for the city lord's discipleship on behalf of my Pan family. I, Pan Duo, would like to toast you all." As soon as the banquet started, Pan Duo stood up and raised his glass to invite everyone politely. Everyone stood up to accompany them.

After three rounds of wine, five dishes and five flavors, and everyone was slightly tipsy, Pan Duo stood up again and said loudly: "If any of you young masters become the direct disciples of the city lord in the future, the Pan family will be in trouble in the future. I hope you can support me."

Bundle."

A young man stood up and replied seriously: "That's natural."

Another young man also stood up and replied: "Me too."

"Same for us." Everyone stood up and replied.

Who doesn't know how to speak in a scene? But it is also a kind of promise. If you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of spring. This is especially precious in this cruel world of immortal cultivation.

"Then I, Pan Duo, would like to thank all the young masters for your love on behalf of the Pan family." Pan Duo answered with cupped hands.

Early the next morning, everyone followed Pan Duo to a large house, where two large golden characters came into view: Pan Yuan.

Pan Duo glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "In two days, the city lord's palace will officially hold the apprenticeship ceremony. You will stay in my Pan Garden for the time being. If you need anything, just give instructions to the servants. In addition, there are many taboo places in Pan Garden. I hope you don't.

Breaking in easily."

Seeing Pan Duo's expression serious, everyone nodded. Which family doesn't have some secrets? Pan Duo's kind reminder is obviously a good person, so as to avoid unpleasantness between the two parties.

As soon as you enter Pan Garden, it is as deep as the sea, and you don't know what kind of deep palace the City Lord's Mansion will be.

The impression Pan Yuan gave Xun Tian was that it was grand and huge. It seems that the Pan family has a long history.

Everyone was led to their respective courtyards by the maids. As the saying goes, the guests were treated as they pleased, and the other party treated the guests so politely, no matter how picky they were, I'm afraid they wouldn't have any objections.

But there are always exceptions in everything. It may seem unintentional, but it is indeed intentional. One of the young people said casually after seeing his place of residence: "I have heard about Pan Yuan's name for a long time and it has been passed down for more than three thousand years. I was curious and thought of

Walk around and take a look to see if it is really as extraordinary as the rumors say."

His voice was very loud, and everyone in the courtyard was not far away, so of course they all heard it.

Xun Tian pursed his lips and suppressed a smile. This guy must have done it on purpose. What was his intention? Could it be that he had a grudge against the Pan family?
