Chapter 144: Shadow Peak
Ten days later, Zhan Chen appeared at the foot of another mountain peak, looking at the towering peak, feeling extremely depressed, not only because he was surrounded by a rich earth aura at this time, but also because he was about to come to a completely unfamiliar environment.
"Is this the Shadow Peak?" Zhan Chen muttered, his gaze becoming deeper, the challenge here must be a hundred times more severe than on the Holy Maiden Peak.
After showing the guards the identity jade plate of the disciple of the Demon Luo Sect, he had to go up the mountain and step on the stone steps, he recalled the various descriptions of the structure of the Demon Luo Sect that he had obtained from Yin Meiru before.
The scale of the Moro Sect is very large, with millions of supernumerary disciples, more than 30,000 outer disciples, and more than 3,000 inner disciples, all of these disciples have their own belongings, except for the thousands of people in the Holy Maiden Peak, they are divided into ten parts, which belong to the nine peaks and Moluo City, each into a force.
The Shadow Peak he was about to join now belonged to the rule of a Great Elder named Chang Zhongxia, who possessed the cultivation of the Martial Saint Beginner Rank, and was the weakest among the Great Elders, but also the best to speak.
It has 180,000 supernumerary disciples, 4,000 outer disciples, and 350 inner disciples.
As soon as Yin Meiru talked to him about Zhan Chen, he agreed and ordered the following to take care of it, so he didn't care about it anymore.
Now, Zhan Chen's identity is quite special, on the one hand, he still belongs to the inner servants under Yin Meiru, but on the other hand, his name is also under the jurisdiction of Shadow Peak, so he also belongs to an ordinary disciple under Shadow Peak.
Shadow Peak, disciple's place, Zhan Chen walked into it, and found that there were many people queuing up to accept the assessment and registration of the introductory disciples, and he was secretly shocked: "I didn't expect that in a single Shadow Peak, so many disciples join every day, and I think about it, except for the Holy Maiden Peak, the Demon Luo Sect has more than ten or two hundred thousand disciples under each peak, and the competition is fierce, so this phenomenon is not surprising." ”
So, he came directly to a registration window, at the end of the line, and after a while, it was Zhan Chen's turn, he handed over his identity token to the guarded disciple, and said: "This brother, I am here to go through the half-turn peak procedures." ”
The disciple took the identity token, examined it carefully, and called, "You are Zhan Chen!
"Not bad!"
"Hey, brother, you have a sick brain, people want to enter the Holy Maiden Peak and squeeze their heads, but you are good, what are you doing here?"
"I still belong to one of the inner servants of the Holy Maiden Peak, and I only came to the Shadow Peak to cultivate on the orders of the Holy Maiden. ”
"That's it, that's it, I really don't know what you think, take it here, this is your new token, and your residence is in room 306 of the eighteen buildings in the dormitory area of the outer disciples. In addition, you can go to the supply and demand office to get a copy of our Moluo Sect's introductory internal strength method, and you can also receive a bottle of the third-grade mid-level blood yuan pill every month. ”
Zhan Chen took the token, turned around and left, he could ignore the rest of the content, because he wasn't ready to turn to demonic cultivation at all.
"Oh, by the way, remember that tomorrow morning, you're going to report to the Demon Hall. ”
Zhan Chen's body paused, and he continued to walk out, recalling the information about the Demon Luo Sect Calendar Demon Hall as he walked. The role of the Calendar Demon Hall in the Demon Luo Sect is equivalent to the experience hall in the Golden Elephant Sect.
It's just that the authority of the Demon Hall is much greater than that of the Demon Hall, because the Demon Luo Sect is a large Demon Sect, and in addition to cultivating the disciples of the Demon Sect, it pays more attention to squeezing the value from them.
Therefore, every disciple of the Demon Luo Sect, the outer disciple of the Demon Luo Sect, must accept the compulsory task of the assessment of the Demon Luo Sect every other year, and even if he reaches the position of the inner disciple, he also needs to accept the compulsory task of the assessment every three years, and these tasks must not be shirked by any excuse.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he thought: "This Demon Hall is really difficult to deal with, but for now, I still find a place to stay first, have a good rest, and make plans tomorrow morning." ”
Zhan Chen continued to walk towards the mountain, and finally came to his new home, the dormitory area of the outer disciples, the situation did not change in the slightest, the tall buildings, shrouded in the rich aura, looked extraordinarily desolate, there was almost no vegetation in the middle, and it looked lifeless.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and comforted himself: "The outer disciples are already good, at least each person has a separate room to live in, if it is a supernumerary disciple, there is not even a place to live." ”
The supernumerary disciples of the Demon Luo Sect are not allowed to live in the mountains, but work hard for the Demon Sect outside all the year round, and can only get a meager income.
Zhan Chen quickly found his room, opened the door, and walked into it, only to find that the room was only less than thirty square meters, and there was not even a spirit gathering array, and the treatment was really incomparable to that of the Holy Maiden Peak.
No wonder everyone scolded him for having a sick head, but Zhan Chen was very satisfied at this time, because there was at least one thing he desperately needed here - freedom.
He was even full of ambition, and he firmly believed that with the resources in his bag, he could live a nourishing life.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhan Chen got up and opened the door to see that it was a young man with beautiful eyebrows, and his cultivation was taller than himself. But his eyes are also pure, and it is obvious that he is not a demon cultivator.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "This brother, who are you?"
"My name is Wan Zheng, and when my brother just came, I came to visit. ”
"Then please come in. ”
The two entered the house and sat down, Zhan Chen was about to get up to make tea for him, but was stopped by Wan Zheng, but said: "Brother Zhan, don't be busy, I only have a few words to say." ”
"Oh, Brother Wan has something to say. ”
"Do you know who lives in these eighteen dormitories?"
Zhan Chen shook his head.
Wan Zheng sighed and said, "No wonder you don't understand, we live here with ordinary martial artists like you and me, not demon cultivators." ”
"Oh, is there a difference between this demon cultivator and a non-demon cultivator?"
"Yes, the entire outer sect of the Demon Luo Sect is the same, the demon cultivators are concentrated in one dormitory, and our ordinary martial artists are concentrated in the other dormitory, which can be said to be distinct, and they hate each other. ”
"That's the case!"
"Yes, the number of demon cultivators accounts for three-quarters of all disciples, while we ordinary martial artists only account for a quarter, and half of us will choose to cultivate demons in the future, after all, to become an inner disciple, having the true element of demon attributes is the primary condition. ”
"Isn't that a worrying status for our ordinary martial artists?"
"That's right, so we ordinary martial artists must unite and twist into a rope in order to survive in this Shadow Peak. That's why I came up and disturbed you as soon as I found out you were moving in. ”
"Brother Wan, I understand everything you said, don't worry, I will definitely advance and retreat with you in the future. ”
"Speaking of this room......"
Wan Zheng's face suddenly showed a sad look, and Zhan Chen couldn't help asking, "Brother Wan, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhan Chen, do you know, a good friend of mine originally lived here, but he died, just three days ago, so you must be careful!"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhan Chen showed a curious look, very interested
Find out what happened to the owner in front of this room.
"Well, you just came, maybe you don't know, let me tell you, he's dead
Performing tasks. In this Moro Sect, the greatest unfairness of ordinary martial artists and demon cultivators,
On top of this mission, do you know this Demon Hall?"
"You know, I'll be there early tomorrow morning to report. ”
"Our Shadow Peak, the steward of the Demon Hall is a man named Pang Scorpion, owned
The mid-level cultivator of the Martial King, he is an authentic Demon Dao Guardian, and he is very hostile to us ordinary martial artists. ”
"So he was very biased when assigning tasks, assigning all the easy and fat tasks to the demon cultivators, and giving the hard and harsh tasks to us ordinary martial artists, so the mortality rate of our ordinary martial artists was also particularly high. ”
"You go to the Demon Hall tomorrow, you have to be especially careful to deal with that Pang Scorpion, don't let him target you, I have made an appointment with a few other friends, and I will go to the Demon Hall tomorrow to report and receive the task, just so that I can pick you up, and then you will do it with us, understand?"
"Okay, thank you Brother Wan for taking care of you. ”
"Eh, don't say these foreign words, we ordinary martial artists, since we came here, we have been like a family, what else do we share with each other?"
"Where do we concentrate?",
"It's right in front of these eighteen buildings, and when the time comes, you just need to go downstairs and you will understand, and we will wait for you. ”
"Good!"
"That Zhan Chen, I won't disturb your rest, I'll leave first. ”
"Well, Brother Wan is good!"
"By the way, my room is next door to you, if you have anything else, you can always come over. ”
"Okay, I will definitely have many things to ask Brother Wan for advice in the future, and I hope that Senior Brother will give me advice when the time comes. ”
"Hehe, you're so polite, I'm leaving!"
After Wan Zheng left, he left Zhan Chen alone, lying on his bed, unable to sleep, thinking about going to the Demon Hall tomorrow.
Later, Zhan Chen simply didn't sleep and got up to cultivate, but after running the "Golden Elephant True Technique" for a while, he felt uncomfortable all over, and secretly thought: "The earth aura here is really very different from the heavenly aura on the top of the Holy Maiden Peak, after absorbing these aura, I feel that the true yuan in my body has begun to become a little impure." ”
This made Zhan Chen very worried, and in the end, he simply took out the Yuan Stone and cultivated extravagantly.
After entering Wuzun, the martial artist's ability to absorb the true yuan has been greatly enhanced, even a low-grade yuan stone can't support it for a quarter of an hour, so if it wasn't a very wealthy Wuzun, he wouldn't do it, but this is not a matter for Zhan Chen today.
He slowly carried the exercises, mainly absorbing the pure aura in the Yuan Stone, but inevitably, there was still a trace of aura from the air that invaded his body, fusing with the original true yuan in his body.
This process was continuous and slow, and it would have a significant impact on Zhan Chen's future cultivation path, but that was a later story, and now he was not aware of all this.
