In a corner not far from the entrance of the hall, everyone chose a seat and sat down. A well-behaved maid had already brought a pot of Tieguanyin over and carefully poured tea for everyone.
Yang Ji picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The rich aroma of tea filled his spleen and lungs.
"Yes. It's different from the folk ones. It's a special gift from the imperial court."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
He had drunk some Tieguanyin, but it was not of this taste or mellow taste. The imperial court had some special offerings, which were carefully selected and unique. They were exclusively for the enjoyment of imperial officials and people with high status.
Not for sale.
Yang Ji guessed in his mind that these should be those "special offerings" that were only circulated within the imperial court.
"Junior brothers, the new general of the county has not arrived yet. If you want to see anyone or move around freely, feel free to do so. Just don't leave this hall for the time being."
Only Chen Shien's voice was heard in his ears. After all, he felt that it was not appropriate to let Meng Shenji leave while restraining everyone, so he simply let everyone leave together.
"Haha, don't worry, senior brother, we will be back soon."
Fang Bai said happily and left quickly.
As soon as Fang Bai left, Jiang Jianqing hesitated, looked around in the crowd, and chose another direction to leave.
"Junior Brother Yang, why don't you leave for a walk?"
Chen Shien looked at Yang Ji who was motionless on the dark gold-engraved bench and said in surprise.
"Forget it. I can just sit here."
Yang Ji waved his hand and smiled.
He didn't know anyone here and had nothing he wanted to see.
"That's fine."
Chen Shien didn't force it: "Sit here for a while. I'll go get some news first."
"Yeah. Go ahead."
Yang Ji waved his hand and said.
Soon, the entire corner was empty. Only Yang Ji was left. After Chen Shien and the others left, Yang Ji looked around with interest.
This was the first time he entered the Hall of Heroes to participate in such an event. Yang Ji discovered that except for his own party, other sects had more or less people, and it seemed that there were not five fixed people.
Some sects don't know whether they picked unsuitable candidates or something else, but there are only three people sitting there, which makes them look lonely. Some sects have as many as seven.
Most sects have more than five people. Yang Ji even discovered that some sects even brought their maids and slaves with them. A large group of people sat together and bustled together, which was extremely spectacular.
"I really enjoy it."
Yang Ji laughed in his heart.
The biggest pursuit of a "martial artist" is "martial arts", which is powerful power. Although there are some requirements for enjoyment, they will not indulge in enjoyment.
However, the cultures of the major sects are not the same. In the Iron Crown Sect, this kind of behavior is strictly prohibited by the elders. However, other sects are obviously different.
"Even important matters such as court orders require servants to be brought along. Don't forget to have fun. These people must be from the Jiugong sect!"
Yang Ji thought to himself.
He didn't know much about the major sects, but he knew some rumors about the Jiugong Sect. It was said that the founder of the Jiugong Sect was originally a handsome and romantic man who came from a wealthy family. He met the Master by chance and stepped into the world.
Martial arts.
However, even though he entered the martial arts, he still did not forget the pleasures he enjoyed in the secular world.
The disciples of the Jiugong Sect passed down the hobby from generation to generation as a tradition.
In fact, most of the disciples recruited by this sect are handsome, romantic, and wealthy. People are divided into groups, and things are gathered together. This tradition of the Jiugong Sect is becoming more and more prosperous.
However, despite this, the "Nine Palace Sect" is quite strict about the comprehension of its disciples. Therefore, despite the negative comments about living a corrupt life and being indulged in enjoyment, the strength of the Jiugong Sect is not bad at all.
Yang Ji turned his eyes and quickly moved away from these Jiugong Sect disciples. He turned his eyes and quickly noticed a group of people in the crowd.
These people wear golden clothes and have bronze medals on their waists. They have an outstanding temperament and give people a very tough feeling.
"These people...should be from the Tongyi Sect."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
In Langya County, the three most famous sects closest to Pingchuan County where Yang Ji was born are the Iron Crown Sect, the Iron Sword Sect and the Tongyi Sect.
The "Iron Crown" of the Iron Crown Sect, the "Iron Sword" of the Iron Sword Sect, and the "Tongyi" of the Tongyi Sect are all iconic items of the three sects.
Among them, the "Bronze Clothes" of the Tongyi Sect is the most magical.
The "Bronze Clothes" of the Bronze Clothes Sect are not really made of brass, but special materials are entangled in the clothes. Once you encounter a strong enemy, you can use blood to pump them in to achieve the effect of a disguised "Bronze Clothes"
, can withstand a certain amount of punch and sword damage.
Even a sharp weapon like the "Blood Qi Sword" can't cut it.
In the sect, the method of weaving Taoist uniforms of the Tongyi Sect has always been a big secret. The Tongyi Party also calls itself "Tongyi" outside the sect, and dyes the sect's clothes golden to confuse the public.
Although the Tongyi Sect is often compared to the Iron Crown Sect, this is the first time Yang Ji, a disciple of this sect, has encountered them.
Except for the "Tongyi Sect" and the "Nine Palace Sect", Yang Ji didn't know much about other sects.
Yang Ji glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. He sat there drinking tea silently while secretly trying to figure out the three martial arts that Pan Chen, Lu Wu, and Tian Junwen asked him to improve.
"Crash!"
Suddenly, a commotion came from the front. Yang Ji's heart was moved. He opened his eyes suddenly and immediately saw an extremely wealthy-looking young man walking towards him with a large group of people.
"Yang Ji, we meet again!"
The young man who looked extremely wealthy stopped in front of Yang Ji, with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a proud look on his face:
"Mountains and rivers may not change, but I never thought that one day you would actually come to my territory."
"Shi Qing!"
Yang Ji's eyes turned cold. The person in front of him was actually "Shi Qing" whom he had taught him a lesson on Tieguan Mountain not long ago. Logically speaking, Shi Qing was not qualified to participate in the "Imperial Recruitment". There were definitely people in the Iron Sword Sect.
There are many people who surpass him.
But I don’t know why, the Iron Sword Faction actually named him in this imperial recruitment mission.
"Hmph! It seems that the Iron Sword Sect still takes a fancy to his wealthy background in Langya County. It can provide a lot of convenience to anyone."
Yang Ji's thoughts changed and he quickly reacted.
It is true that Shi Qing's cultivation level is not high, but for the Iron Sword Sect, his martial arts is not needed at all. The wealthy Shi family is the biggest weapon they need.
"What? This time I found two helpers, and I became more courageous and dared to appear directly in front of me."
Yang Ji glanced at the powerful masters behind Shi Qing and sneered.
Within a few months, Shi Qing had changed a lot from before. He looked better, his clothes were brighter, his expression was more confident, and he didn't look afraid of Yang Ji at all.
"Hey, Yang Ji, don't be so arrogant in front of me! This is Langya County, where our wealthy Shi family rules the roost. If you don't feel comfortable with me, be careful that I let you die without a burial place."
Shi Qing narrowed his eyes and sneered sinisterly.
"Hmph! I can't deal with the rich Shi family. But if I kill you, it's like killing a chicken!"
Yang Ji sneered, Huo stood up, and with a bang, the blood in his body surged, and a huge, scorching aura burst out.
He didn't move. With this explosion, the sword intent that he practiced all over his body condensed into one force, and it struck into the heart of "Shi Qing" with unparalleled force.
"you!--"
Shi Qing's face changed drastically, he trembled all over, and hurriedly stepped back.
Over the course of several months, Yang Ji seemed to become more powerful, and he was actually able to condense his sword intention into substance and attack the opponent.
Yang Ji left a deep psychological shadow on Shi Qing. From Pingchuan City to Tieguan Mountain, Shi Qing suffered at the hands of Yang Ji every time, and even experienced the shadow of death several times.
However, what worries Shi Qing the most is Yang Ji's attitude of not taking the "rich family" seriously.
In this "imperial order", Shi Qing had the support of the sect and was in the heart of the family. He could have smoothed Yang Ji into a round shape and was no longer afraid of him.
However, as soon as Yang Ji made a move, Shi Qing immediately found an uncontrollable fear rising in his heart.
"Be bold!"
"Cousin, don't be afraid. If there is a small sect disciple in Langya County, we will eat him to death!"
…
Behind Shi Qing, two people wearing gorgeous silk and satin clothes, who looked like they were not "Blood Furnace" masters in the sect, took a step forward and said. One of them stared at Yang Ji fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
In Langya County, apart from the other wealthy families of the Lu family and the Luo family, the wealthy families of the Shi family have always walked sideways and have never been afraid of others.
This kid doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, but he is so arrogant in front of him.
After being drunk by two family masters, Shi Qing immediately came back to his senses, feeling ashamed, ashamed and angry. Yes! What the hell are you afraid of? This is Langya County, what are you afraid of in your own land?
Does Yang Ji really dare to attack him?
Thinking of this, Shi Qing's confidence returned again.
"Yang Ji, don't be too proud."
Shi Qing glared at Yang Ji with anger on his face: "I didn't come alone this time. I also found an old rival for you. As long as you can deal with him, we can talk about our affairs.
.——Li Chen, come here quickly!"
Shi Qing turned around and looked behind him.
"Crash!" The crowd was commotion, and a familiar figure walked out amid slow but powerful footsteps.
"Li Chen!"
Yang Jizhen was shocked when he saw that face, and many memories emerged in his mind in an instant. They said goodbye to Pingchuan County, and everyone went their separate ways. Everyone's whereabouts were a secret, and not many people knew about it except himself.
Back in Pingchuan County, "Li Chen" was once the favorite in the martial arts examination, and he competed with "Bai Yuanyuan" from Paektu Mountain for the top spot in the martial arts examination.
However, after joining the sect, Yang Ji didn't hear much about Li Chen. But he didn't expect that he and Shi Qing actually entered the same sect.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Li Chen's aura has become stronger. His skin is slightly dark, and his every move exudes the smell of hard work, as if he has experienced hard "tempering" for a long time.
On his body, waves of hot breath rushed out, radiating in all directions. Listen carefully to the rumbling sound like a furnace.
"Fourth level of martial arts! He has actually condensed the blood furnace!"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised.
Li Chen's progress seemed to be faster than his own. He had actually stabilized the Blood Furnace, and his behavior gave people a feeling of infinite power.
"Yang Ji, we meet again."
Li Chen said lightly, with a smile on his face but not a smile. He looked like an enemy but also a friend, making it impossible for anyone to tell who he was.
"Li Chen, what's your attitude? Don't forget that you were defeated by him in the martial arts examination and took all your glory away from him. I worked hard to use the family's resources to help you, but I don't want you to fall in love with this kid.
Drinking to settle grudges."
Shi Qing said with an unhappy look.
He originally thought that this would be a point-to-point collision, but the uncontrollable feeling surged into his heart again, and Li Chen, the bastard, even smiled at this guy!
