As Xu Qing's foundation-building aura erupted and the bells of the entire Seventh Peak reverberated, three figures soared into the air and roared from the top of the mountain, flying straight down the mountain.
Generally speaking, if outsiders set foot on the mountain steps here, they will only be blocked and will not cause the bell to ring.
At this time, you need to report your identity and inform your purpose of coming. The formation will notify the person you want to visit. Only after the other party agrees, can you go up the mountain under the surveillance of the formation all the way.
It was like this when the ancestor of the King Kong Sect visited Taoist Xianyun of Liufeng.
There is only one possibility to cause the bell to ring the moment you step onto the mountain steps.
That is... there is a new foundation building among the disciples of our sect that has not been registered in the formation.
Of course, enemy attacks are another factor.
In Seven Blood Pupils, the disciples under the mountain are promoted to foundation building. Not everyone will choose to rent the sect's foundation building land. On the one hand, the price is expensive, and on the other hand, those who can stand out from countless condensed qi in this troubled world.
, must have its own opportunities.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, except for chance, sects that are united by interests have almost no trust.
Therefore, about 30% of the foundations of Seven Blood Pupils are those who came back after being promoted outside.
Most of these opportunities are related to some relics. Although some people are paying attention, this kind of incident is not an exception and is very taboo. Once malicious plunder occurs, it will be fine if it cannot be spread, but once it is spread, it will shake the Seven Blood Pupils.
foundation.
Therefore, they were strictly stopped by the Seven Blood Pupils. Although they would still secretly fight each other occasionally, it was generally justified. After all, for the Seven Blood Pupils' mountain cultivators, they would weigh whether it was worth it before taking action.
Few people would be so stupid to take such a risk for an unknown guess.
Xu Qing had already thought clearly about these things when he chose to go out to build the foundation. At this moment, looking at the three figures approaching quickly, he stood on the fifth step, waiting for their arrival.
Soon the whistling sound became clearer and clearer. Among the three figures running straight towards here from a distance, the one at the front was wearing a purple robe, with a medium build and a round face.
It was the person who guided Xu Qing when he went up the mountain for the first time. That person also kindly reminded him of the habitual flaw in his right hand and the hidden needle in the cotton.
Looking at the figure of the other party, Xu Qing also felt deep in his heart. At first, he only heard the other person say the words "needle hidden in the cotton", but now through his experience in Qixuetong and meeting a person, he has deeply felt what it means to hide a needle in the cotton.
And he himself also learned a lot in the environment of Seven Blood Pupils.
Xu Qing clasped his fists and bowed deeply as the opponent approached.
Laughter came from the sky.
The round-faced monk suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing, with a gentle expression and a smile on his face.
"Xu Qing, when I first saw you, I felt that you were no ordinary person, so I reminded you that when I meet you again today, you are indeed of my generation."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me that day." Xu Qing was grateful from the bottom of his heart for this round-faced monk, and said with cupped fists.
"There is no need to refer to seniors, you have already established the foundation. You and I can just call each other senior brothers. Junior Brother Xu Qing, my name is Zhang Yunshi, you can call me Senior Brother Zhang."
The round-faced monk smiled and spoke. He raised his head as he spoke and saw Zhao Zhongheng not far away with a look of shock on his face.
He was a wise person. He glanced at Zhao Zhongheng's expression and then looked at Xu Qing. He roughly guessed something in his heart, but he was not too troublesome, so he narrowed his eyes.
"Junior Brother Xu Qing, shall we go up the mountain?"
"Excuse me, Senior Brother Zhang." Xu Qing nodded politely, then clasped his fists at the other two foundation-building monks beside him, and glanced at them seemingly casually.
He found that most of the foundation-building monks on the mountain were hiding from fluctuations. These two people were like this, and Zhang Yunshi was also like this, so it was difficult for Xu Qing to detect the specific depth at the first time.
This made him extremely alert and vigilant.
These two people were obviously inferior to Zhang Yunshi in status. Seeing that Zhang Yunshi had something to do with Xu Qing, they smiled faintly, clasped their fists in return and left.
In this way, accompanied by Zhang Yunshi, Xu Qing and him walked forward along the mountain steps.
The trees on both sides of the mountain road are shady. The sea breeze blows at this moment, causing the leaves to sway, and there are even spiritual birds singing softly among them.
This sound is very beautiful, as if it can sink into memory, and the scene of going up the mountain for the first time that day emerges, overlapping with this moment.
"Junior Brother Xu, I have already introduced you to the world of Qixuetong under the mountain. Today I will tell you about the mountain." In the wind, Zhang Yunshi's peaceful voice echoed on the road.
"There are thirteen elders on the Seventh Peak, all of whom are Golden Core cultivators. Below them are our generation of foundation builders, more than one hundred and forty in number. After you register today, the number of Seventh Peak's foundation builders will be one hundred and forty-nine.
Bit."
"It seems like a lot, but in fact there is not much. The entire Seven Blood Pupils are close to a thousand. You must know that my Seven Blood Pupils are one of the four major forces in Nanhuang Continent."
"So the status and status of Foundation Establishment are extremely high."
"This is true everywhere in Nanhuang Continent, and it is even more true with my Seven Blood Pupils. After you register, you will receive more than 5,700 spiritual stones every month."
"The specific amount depends on the monthly income of the Seven Blood Pupils, so it is not fixed, but the fluctuation is not very large."
"In addition, after becoming a foundation builder, you will get the right to live on the mountain, but the cave will cost money, and the sect's foundation building skills will not be given free of charge like Qi Condensation, but they will also cost money. As for the land of scriptures,
, you are eligible to purchase any of the foundation-building techniques in it."
"As a foundation builder at the same time, you have four kinds of rights."
"The first right is that from now on you have the right to open a new port. You can open up a port of your own in the harbor area!"
"It can be done externally or internally. The sect will collect half of all the income from internal operations, but this requires you to arrange for people to run it. At the same time, the initial investment is huge, and you need to bear it yourself."
"If you don't want the right to develop this port, you can get the right to own a street in the main city. All the shops on that street will have to pay you rent. This method is simple and straightforward."
"These two options include whatever foundation-building monks choose. You can make your own decision."
"The second right is that if a disciple of this mountain offends you, you can kill him. However, if you kill one person, you need to pay 100,000 spirit stones as a penalty. If you kill the second person, the price will be doubled, and so on. It will never be cleared.
.”
The round-faced monk smiled and spoke, but the words he spoke made Xu Qing's eyes shrink.
"This rule is actually a line in my mind, Seven Blood Pupils Foundation Establishment. No matter whether it is in the sect or outside the sect, when I encounter a weak person, I will judge whether it is worth killing him or not."
"If it were a disciple of Taifeng Mountain, the price would be doubled on this basis."
"As for the third right, you can designate two disciples at the foot of the mountain, or other people you recognize, to be your followers. They will be eligible to live in the main city for free, and they can also follow you up the mountain and register in your name.
Come down and practice.”
"At the same time, your teleportation to all branch cities within the scope of the Seven Blood Pupils will be free. In addition, you have a hundred residence quotas in the branch cities every year. You must know that the right to live in the branch cities is very precious in the scavenger camps and small towns outside.
It cannot be owned unless recommended by Seven Blood Eyes disciples."
"The last right is the protection of the Seven Blood Pupils, which prevents the golden elixirs from outside from coming here to kill you. Of course, if you take out enough spirit stones, even Nascent Soul will not dare to come and kill you, even if you have more spirit stones.
But if you offer a reward, there must be someone in the sect willing to help you kill him."
"You have to remember that at the bottom of the mountain are a group of wolf cubs, and on the mountain... are a group of lone wolves who have their own thoughts and are independent!"
"At the same time, you don't have to worry about the sect's golden elixir taking action against you. Outside, it would be unlucky for you. But within the sect, if you kill the first foundation builder for any reason, you will be fined a million spiritual stones. Killing between foundation builders
The same is true, it will still double later, and it will never be reset."
“So it’s back to the old topic, is it worth it?”
The round-faced monk was always smiling when he spoke, but his words all revealed the status of the foundation and the ferocity of the mountain.
"What about obligations?" Xu Qing asked.
"Obligation?" The round-faced monk smiled.
"Everyone fought their way out of the mountain with their own efforts, so they have no obligation to the sect. If they are willing to stay, they will get money, and if they are willing to leave, they will not be held back. However, the tasks issued by the sect are not stingy, so everyone is
Scramble complete.”
"In order to be able to obtain spiritual stones in the long term, this extra profit is not bad. When encountering an invasion from foreign enemies that will destroy our long-term benefits, we will naturally take action accordingly. After all, if we are more careful in building foundations, we can still survive.
It will be great to get money every month for a long time."
"Of course, if the incoming enemy offers a greater temptation, it is not unacceptable. But think about it, are the invading enemies stupid? Bribing one or two disciples is of no use. If you bribe more, they will make huge profits.
Is it worth it to capture the Seven Blood Pupils, which are far less than the cost?"
"As for going to war with the outside world, it will actually magnify the big competition you experienced before. It will be profitable, so people will naturally flock to you."
"The elders on the mountain also know that we are just wolf cubs, so they have almost no management of us. They only lure us with benefits."
"What really reassures the senior management are the core disciples who enjoy the preferential treatment of the sect as soon as they enter the sect. The training of these people is mainly based on cohesion and a sense of belonging."
At this moment, following Zhang Yunshi's introduction, Xu Qing had a deeper understanding of Qixuetong's mountain. Thoughtfully, they arrived halfway up the mountain.
"It's unlucky that you're here. Originally, new foundation builders were eligible to meet the peak masters once, but now that the peak masters of the seven peaks have gone to sea, something big is probably going to happen."
"The first elder and the second elder are not here either. Only the third elder is guarding the mountain. After you go to pay your respects, I will take you to the cave and the Dharma Hall."
Just as he was talking, Xu Qing saw the main hall where the third elder had been here once before. Outside the main hall, he saw another familiar figure, which was Deacon Li next to the third elder.
He sat cross-legged in front of the main hall. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing and Zhang Yunshi who had arrived, and smiled slightly.
"When the bell rang just now, I guessed whether the new foundation builder would be you."
Xu Qing clasped his fists slightly and glanced at Deacon Li in front of him. Although the other party had concealed the fluctuations, Xu Qing combined with the original senses in his memory and vaguely felt at this moment that Deacon Li should be in the process of building a foundation and was considered very strong.
.
"It should have formed the foundation of the Life Fire." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, calmly.
"Go in, the elder is waiting for you." Deacon Li's eyes moved away from Xu Qing and fell on Zhang Yunshi. Zhang Yunshi shrugged his shoulders, took a few steps back and waited outside.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and walked forward until he entered the main hall he had visited that day.
The moment I stepped in, the feeling I had at the beginning came again. The pressure from the person sitting cross-legged and meditating at the top of the hall spread overwhelmingly in all directions.
But this time, Xu Qing saw the other party's appearance clearly.
It was an old man with longevity spots on his face. He was wearing a purple Taoist robe with gold threads and looked at Xu Qing expressionlessly.
The moment the two looked at each other, Xu Qing's heart roared. The other person's gaze was like lightning, seeming to penetrate his body in an instant and see clearly inside his body.
But the life lamp covered by Xu Qing's shadow cannot be noticed by the other party.
"Meet the Third Elder." Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
"It's not bad to have opened two Dharma Apertures at such a young age." The third elder, who came first, spoke calmly and then said something that shocked Xu Qing's heart.
