Just as Zhou Cheng and others were feasting, there were footsteps in the distance. Judging from the footsteps, there should be six or seven people.
Qin Meng and others were immediately alert.
As the footsteps approached, six men in ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and looking like beggars appeared in the sight of Zhou Cheng and others.
Judging by how many people are dressed up, they must be a family.
After several people arrived, they were timid and did not dare to get close. One of the middle-aged men took the courage and hugged Zhou Cheng: "Young master, we came from Zhongzhou and wanted to make a living in the capital, but we have spent all our money."
, my mother hasn’t eaten anything for a whole day.”
Then he said with a pleading look on his face: "Master, please give us some food."
They were so hungry that they couldn't help coming over because of the smell of meat.
Zhou Cheng's eyes fell on the sixty-year-old woman. She was very weak and needed a cane to walk.
The two teenage children were also staring at the barbecue on the campfire with hungry faces. Obviously, not only the old lady had not eaten anything all day, but the two children had also been hungry all day.
Zhou Cheng said: "You guys sit down." Then he asked Qin Meng to cut up the barbecue on the campfire and distribute it to several people.
Several people took over the barbecue and expressed their gratitude and thanks to Zhou Cheng.
After several people sat down, Zhou Cheng was curious and asked the middle-aged man: "It's a long way from Zhongzhou to the capital. Why do you want to go to the capital to make a living? I heard that Zhongzhou is very prosperous."
The middle-aged man took a bite of the barbecue in his hand, stopped when he heard the words, and said with a sad face: "In the past, Zhongzhou was indeed prosperous, but a year ago, a large gang of bandits from Hengshan came to Zhongzhou, and they often looted and committed all kinds of evil.
And he has colluded with many wealthy families in Zhongzhou."
Zhou Cheng frowned: "What is this gang called? Is it very powerful?"
"It's called the Golden Snake Gang. It has a large gang. When we first came here, there were only one or two thousand people. But after we came to Zhongzhou, we recruited more troops and now there are probably five or six thousand people." The middle-aged man said: "They are evil tigers entrenched in Zhongzhou.
The terrain is difficult in the mountains, and the Zhongzhou Prefecture sent troops several times, but nothing could do anything to them."
"Now in the seven cities around Yancheng, Qingling, and Ye'an, no one dares to open the door at night."
"Furthermore, the Golden Snake Gang stipulates that vendors in the seven cities of Yancheng must pay them protection fees every month. This protection fee is higher than the court's tax. How can we vendors afford it?"
"I had no choice but to escape from Yancheng."
"Actually, most of the thirty-six states are not at peace now. I heard that the demon sect in Dongsheng Prefecture is doing evil everywhere and is even more chaotic. Not to mention the Hengshan Mountain in Youzhou."
"In the north, Mongolia often enters the border."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Now, the capital is more stable, so we are thinking of finding a way to make a living in the capital."
Zhou Cheng asked the other party about some things about the Golden Snake Gang.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, when the other party left, Zhou Cheng gave the other party ten taels of silver.
As long as the other party doesn't spend too much money on the way, ten taels of silver will be enough to support him to the capital.
The middle-aged man took the silver, full of tears, and thanked Zhou Cheng again with his children and his family.
"Young Master is so kind. I have so much money. If I see you again in the future, I will definitely repay you." The other party said with a grateful face.
Zhou Cheng smiled when he heard the other party call him Qian Zhenduo. The name was quite interesting.
Several people separated at this point.
Zhou Cheng continued to rush to Wanxing Gate.
On the way, Zhou Cheng checked the system profile and found that the Beiming Divine Skill had reached 94% of the third level of Qi Refining.
Three days ago, Beiming's magical skill of Devouring the Demonic Face Zuo enabled him to break through to the third level of Qi refining within a year.
In the past few days, he insisted on swallowing a nine-aperture golden elixir every day, coupled with the Beiming Divine Art that automatically swallowed the spiritual energy of the world, so the Beiming Divine Art had reached the third level of Qi refining.
Seeing that Beiming's magical skill had reached the third level of Qi refining, Zhou Cheng took out a Nine-Aperture Golden Pill and swallowed it.
Suddenly.
There was a shock inside him.
The barrier of the fourth meridian was blasted away in one fell swoop.
The surging internal force is constantly rushing through the Ren, Du, Chong, and Dai channels.
On the morning of his twentieth day in the world of Xianwu, he finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi refining.
After he broke through the fourth level of Qi Refining, the power of the Nine Apertures Golden Pill still did not stop, and the Beiming Divine Skill continued to improve, and finally stopped at 21% of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Seeing that he had broken through to 21% of the fourth level of Qi Refining, Zhou Cheng thought that his elder brother Zhou Li did not know whether he had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
A few days ago in the capital, his eldest brother Zhou Li was still at the peak of the third level of Qi refining.
If his eldest brother Zhou Li hasn't made a breakthrough yet, then he has surpassed his eldest brother now.
"Congratulations to the host for breaking through the fourth level of Qi refining and receiving the realm breakthrough gift package."
"Does the host open the realm breakthrough gift package now?"
The sound of the system shocked Zhou Cheng.
Since breaking through the realm of Qi refining, there are no realm gift packs for the first, second and third levels of Qi refining. He thought there would be no realm gift packs from now on.
Zhou Cheng opened the realm gift package.
"You have obtained four marrow-cleansing pills."
Then there was no sound.
Zhou Cheng swallowed four marrow-cleansing pills.
Immediately, the progress of Beiming's magical practice increased sharply again, and finally reached 45% of the fourth level of Qi refining.
And his qualifications have increased by 10%, and his century-old genius qualification has reached 20%.
Zhou Cheng rode his war horse and thought about the realm gift pack. When he was in the body refining realm, every time he broke through a small realm, there was a realm gift pack. However, after breaking through the qi refining realm, there was no realm gift pack until the fourth level of qi refining. Look.
Come on, after reaching the Qi Refining Realm, only when you break through important realms such as the Fourth Level of Qi Refining and the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, will you get the realm gift package.
And I’m afraid the rewards will gradually decrease in the future.
From now on, you still have to rely on your own efforts.
In the next two days, Zhou Cheng and others were on the road.
On the way, when passing some cities, Zhou Cheng and others would go to an inn to rest for the night. When they had free time, Zhou Cheng, Qin Meng and Lin Ru would compete with each other in sword skills, boxing skills and footwork.
So every day, Zhou Cheng's Demon Subduing Sword Technique, Wandering Dragon White Tiger Fist, and Yingfeng Liubu are constantly improving. By the time he reaches Wanxingmen, these three martial arts skills should be able to break through to the realm of transcendence.
After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi refining, a Nine-Aperture Golden Pill can increase the energy by 24%. After two days, it is 48%. In addition, the Beiming Divine Art swallows the spiritual energy of the world every day. Therefore, after two days, Zhou Cheng successfully got through it.
The fifth meridian, Yin Wei Vein, broke through to the fifth level of Qi refining.
"Master, that's Evil Tiger Mountain." Qin Meng pointed to the mountain peak in front of him.
Zhou Cheng went to Wanxing Gate and passed through Zhongzhou, planning to finish off the Golden Snake Gang tonight before continuing on his way.
Arriving at the foot of Evil Tiger Mountain, Zhou Cheng and others tied their horses and took advantage of the darkness to reach the cliff at the top of Evil Tiger Mountain.
Opposite the cliff is the lair of the Golden Snake Gang. However, the Golden Snake Gang has closed the iron bridge on the cliff. Even a tenth-level innate master cannot leap from one side of the cliff to the other side.
And on the opposite side, there are a large number of archers from the Golden Snake Gang.
