"Brother Tian, when you come in, don't say your name is Tianjiu. Just say whatever name you want, otherwise you won't have a place to sleep tonight!" Huben led Tianjiu to a towering red building.
, on the top of the gate that is more than three feet high, there is a huge plaque - Outer Gate Inn.
"Brother Tian, this place is specially designed to receive outer disciples who have returned from abroad and have no place to live. However, there is a fee. Do you have any spar?"
"Spar? Yes, yes! I just got a reward of thirty low-level crystals. Is it enough?"
"Hey, brother, please keep your voice down!" Hu Ben pulled Tianjiu and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Never say how many crystal stones you have in the future. Don't reveal your wealth.
You know! Fortunately, this is within the sect. If someone knows about it outside, even a crystal stone may be used for money and death! In our Huachen, as long as you are not an inner sect disciple and are not on a mission,
, all eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping require digging out crystal stones. This is the shrewdness of old man Mi, who euphemistically calls it: "squeezing fat pigs"! If it weren't for this, the Huachen Sect might have fallen apart long ago.
Oh! The Huachen Clan is not as famous as others, but 'dig' and 'poor' are famous in Dongling Mountain!"
Huben said as he led Tianjiu into the Outer Gate Inn.
Walking into the lobby, it was extremely shabby. There was not even a counter. On the left wall, there were three green light masks the size of a person flashing. On the top of the light masks were written from left to right - low-level disciple, middle-level disciple.
Disciple, distinguished guest.
Beside the light shield, an old man with a goatee was lying on a jade stool, sleeping with his eyes closed. As soon as Tianjiu and the others walked in, he opened his eyes, glanced at them, and then said, "Are the two disciples staying in the hotel?"
Huben hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, we are staying in the hotel, please arrange a cheaper and cleaner room with a wide view."
"No problem, a low-level crystal, No. 1633, tell me your name!"
"A spar? Is there any mistake? It wasn't so expensive for me to live in yesterday?" Hu Ben said angrily.
"Brother, it's not expensive anymore. It's troubled times now. Prices are skyrocketing. The price has just been adjusted. Besides, you are sharing a room with two people and the scenery is great. If you think it's too expensive, you can have half a crystal for three days.
No? It’s just a room for thirty people."
"Okay, it's No. 1633. This is a spar, please keep it." Tianjiu quickly took out a spar and handed it over.
"Well, this little brother is so cheerful! He has a bright future! Whose name is he?"
"Oh, his name is Tianyi, my eldest brother, my name is Huben!" Huben said hurriedly.
Shopkeeper Qian showed no expression. He took out a jade token from his waist, raised his finger, and a white light shot into the jade token. He moved his fingers together, took a breath, and then stopped. He threw the jade token to Tianjiu.
"Okay, you go in, over there with the low-level disciples. Everything in the room must not be damaged, otherwise, one crystal will be confiscated for each item." After that, Shopkeeper Qian continued to lie down and sleep.
Huben took the jade token from Tianjiu's hand, walked straight to the low-level disciple's mask, and swiped the jade token onto the mask. Suddenly, a gap as wide as a person's width appeared in the mask.
Hu Ben pulled Tianjiu, who was stunned, into the light shield. Tianjiu felt dizzy, and with a bang, his feet stepped into a three-foot-square room.
"Are you mistaken? This room only contains one spar, what a rip-off!" Huben shouted, looking at the room with white walls.
In the room, there were two stone beds, a set of tables and chairs, and no other objects.
"Forget it, Xiaohu, let's make do with it. At least the scenery outside here is good."
Tianjiu opened the curtains and saw the red leaves all over the mountains and the white clouds at his feet, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
"Oh, that's all. This is a place 1,333 feet high. Of course, the view outside is wide." Huben sat down on the stone bed.
"Xiaohu, did our dizziness just now bring us here?" Tianjiu turned around and asked.
"Brother, that's a teleportation array, don't you know it? It's extremely small. I heard that there are even more powerful large-scale teleportation arrays that can teleport people to places thousands of miles away, but there is none in Dongling Mountain.
Yes, the largest one is only a few hundred miles away." Huben looked at Tianjiu and said.
"Teleportation array?" Tianjiu's heart was filled with huge waves. Wasn't he the one who was teleported here?
"Have you ever heard of the existence of a teleportation array that can teleport out of this interface?" Tianjiu asked excitedly.
"Teleport out the interface? What is the interface? I only know that our Yuling Prefecture is 90 million miles wide, and Dongling Mountain occupies 8 million miles. How big is the interface?"
"Oh, I don't know either! There should be one, right?" Tianjiu was disappointed. It seems that only by asking higher-level people can he get the exact information.
"Xiaohu, please tell me about the situation in Huachenmen, as well as the outside world. Tell me everything you know! I come from a small mountain village. I don't understand anything. I am laughed at no matter what I do."
"Oh, that's no problem. Let me tell you about Huachen Sect first. I'll talk about the rest later. Huachen Sect ranks last among the five sects in Dongling Mountain. Everyone can see that Huachen Sect has declined. Okay.
I heard that there is an ancestor at the Yuan Ying level in the sect, otherwise he would have been destroyed by several other sects. We in Huachen have less than 5,000 disciples, and Dongling sect is said to have 50,000 disciples.
Danshan Yunge has eight thousand disciples. Alas, let alone the sect industry, there are only three crystal mines, and the total number of other ores is less than ten. The Danshan Yunge crystal mine is said to have more than thirty
They are extremely rich, and they are all beautiful female disciples. Quandong Lingshan is proud to find a fairy from Danshan Yunge as a companion. However, it is difficult for Hua Chen's disciples to get into their eyes. So.
Yeah, despite the fact that the inner disciples are so prosperous within the sect, several of them run away every year..."
Tianjiu remained silent, digesting this information...
A few hours later.
"Brother...Brother, I won't talk anymore. I'm the one talking. I'm too tired!" Hu Ben was so tired that his eyes blurred and he fell down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Before dawn, Huben and Tianjiu rushed up the mountain and rushed to the gate of Hefeng Hall before Chen Shi.
"Brother Tian, I won't go in. I listened to today's lecture last year and have learned it a long time ago. I will go to Tiandu Fengfang City to see if I can find anything good."
Tianjiu learned last night that Fangshi is a trading place in the world of immortality, where almost anything can be traded.
"Okay, Xiaohu, can you help me buy some medicinal seeds and a book on elixirs? Any seeds are fine, as long as they are beneficial to cultivation. These are fifteen crystal stones. You can use them first. They are not enough."
I'll make up for it when you get back. But you know my financial resources, so don't go beyond my scope."
"Don't worry, I will help you get it done. To be honest, you can use these crystal stones to buy books or elixirs. If not, you can find some practical little spells. After learning them, you can increase your own strength, but you can use them to buy books or elixirs."
Seeds seem to be very uneconomical. Herb seeds are very troublesome to cultivate. They have extremely high requirements on soil and environment, and the maturity period is long. The results are too slow. If you want me, I will buy talisman seals. At least they can be used for attack and protection.
Myself." Huben carefully put away the crystal and said in confusion.
"It's okay, you should buy the seeds. Who am I going to attack with the talisman and seal in Lingzhu Valley?" Tianjiu smiled, waved his hand, and walked into Hefeng Hall.
He knew in his heart that medicinal seeds might be his hope for the future.
In the Hefeng Hall, which is a hundred feet square, there are hundreds of outer sect disciples sitting cross-legged. They are all young, most of them are eleven or twelve years old. They gather in small groups, each discussing their cultivation experiences and methods.
Some people were using their weapons and gesticulating with them, which attracted bursts of applause.
As soon as Tianjiu found the front corner and sat down, a scream suddenly rang out.
"Tianjiu, God of Plague Tianjiu!"
Tianjiu looked at the voice in surprise, and saw a slightly immature disciple standing up and pointing at him.
"Oh? God of Plague?" the voices came and went, all looking at Tianjiu.
"Why do you say I am Tianjiu?"
"Hmph! I've seen you before. I was in the second batch in the selection garden. I saw you making the Fifth Master so angry that he vomited blood! Everyone, stay away. Don't get too close to him. You'll get bad luck.
!" the child shouted loudly.
After a few breaths, no disciples were sitting within a foot of Tianjiu.
Tianjiu couldn't laugh or cry, this is so damn funny! He is not a murderer, nor is he a monster, so why do everyone treat him like a scourge? Just because he offended the Fifth Elder?
At this moment, a stream of light shot towards the high platform in front, and a handsome young man appeared. He was wearing a silver robe, long hair, deep eyes, and a handsome face like jade. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
"Senior Brother Chang is here! I've met Senior Brother Chang!" I don't know who shouted first, and then there was a series of greetings.
