Volume 1 Firefly Light Chapter 24 Qi Feng City
Chu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did he slowly stand up.
"It was really dangerous. ”
This time the death was completely unexpected by Chu Zhen. He was just in a hurry, but he didn't want to stumble into this incident by mistake, and he gave his life to the account. Fortunately, this time he left the Lu family after regaining his ability to regenerate, otherwise Chu Zhen would have really died too unjustly.
The good thing in the bad things, Chu Zhen finally set foot in the Lingyuan realm through this rebirth and reached the Lingyuan first grade.
Taking his own things, while he hadn't been discovered by others, Chu Zhen hurriedly left here.
As the sun sets, the fiery clouds turn the sky red, like a raging fire. Under the illumination of the setting sun, Chu Zhen walked out of the mountains and forests and came to a small town on the border of Taicheng County. When he arrived here, Chu Zhen was really out of danger, he found an inn that looked pretty good, let himself rest first, and buy some supplies by the way.
After making so many contributions to the Lu family, in addition to the pills, Chu Zhen also got nearly a hundred gold coins, which could not buy anything for cultivation resources, but food and accommodation were completely enough.
After casually ordering two side dishes, Chu Zhen recalled the incident he encountered in the woods.
Those two claimed to be from the Blood Moon God Sect, and Chu Zhen had never heard of this sect. When the Lu family had a little leisure, Chu Zhen used the resources of the Lu family to consult a lot of local chronicles, and he also had a basic understanding of the existing sects in the Yunshan Realm, but Chu Zhen had never seen the name of the Blood Moon God Sect once.
"Cultivation is important, I'd better not get involved in these idle things. ”
There are many forces in the Yunshan realm, and there are fights all the time, and Chu Zhen can't control these idle things, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to them.
The meal was quickly served, but as soon as he ate two chopsticks, the words of the two people at the next table reached his ears.
"Have you heard? Xuanyue Pavilion has set up a ring in Qifeng City, and you can get a rich reward for every promotion round, and if you can come out on top, the reward will be even higher. ”
When the other person heard this, he asked curiously, "Is your information reliable? Will Xuanyue Pavilion do such a loss-making transaction?"
"Of course, Xuanyue Pavilion will not do anything loss-making, if you want to get a reward, there are conditions, that is, you must do one thing for Xuanyue Pavilion. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"They didn't say this, but they need to invite someone from Xuanyue Pavilion, I'm afraid it's not an easy task. ”
"Whatever, let's go over first, just watch the excitement. ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Zhen suddenly became interested.
Qi Fengcheng is where the main store of Xuanyue Pavilion is located, and its strength far exceeds that of other semicolons in the four counties, and the rewards they can take out will naturally not be bad. As he stepped into the Spirit Yuan Realm, Chu Zhen wanted to recover his rebirth ability, and the resources he needed were very large, which was no longer something that could be met by a few Spirit Pills. Since Chu Zhen didn't have access to these resources for the time being, the ring competition held by Xuanyue Pavilion was a good choice.
Chu Zhen secretly thought in his heart: "As for what you want to do for Xuanyue Pavilion, as long as you recover the ability to be reborn at that time, what does it matter if you give away your life." ”
Having made up his mind, Chu Zhen quickly ate the food on the table and walked on the road to Qifeng City.
Qi Feng City, Qi Feng City, can inhabit the Phoenix City, although the name is exaggerated, but in terms of prosperity, it is definitely the first among the four counties in Hexi, just looking at its scale, it is larger than five Yonghe City.
And today, Qi Fengcheng ushered in a black-clothed young man with a bamboo cane in his hand.
In order to obtain the resources needed for cultivation, Chu Zhen found the nearest road, day and night, and it took him a full five days to reach Qifeng City, where the headquarters of Xuanyue Pavilion was located.
As soon as he arrived here, Chu Zhen immediately rushed to Xuanyue Pavilion. Because the time for registration in the ring is almost closed.
Since the day Xuanyue Pavilion announced the opening of the ring, many masters in Taicheng County rushed to hear the news. No one wants to miss out on a reward for every round they advance.
After welcoming the crowd that had swarmed in the first few days, the number of people who came to Xuanyue Pavilion to sign up began to become sparse, and in recent days, there were even fewer people.
"It's almost time for people to come, I think our brothers will accept it too. ”
In order not to affect the business, Xuanyue Pavilion specially set up a place to sign up for the competition outside the door, and the two attendants who stayed here saw that no one came here to sign up until the afternoon, so they thought that no one would come again, so they planned to pack up their things and go back to rest.
As soon as they put away the pen and paper on the table, they heard someone ask, "Is this the place to register for the ring?"
The two attendants followed the prestige, and saw a young man in black with a young face but a little mature, holding a bamboo cane in his hand and a gourd tied around his waist, looking at them with a light smile.
"You're going to sign up for the ring too?"
Seeing that Chu Zhen didn't look like a master at all, one of the attendants couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I'm here to sign up. Are there any other requirements to get in the ring?"
The conditions announced by the Xuanyue Pavilion were only promised to do something for them, and nothing else was mentioned. Although the two attendants felt that the young man in front of them was too ordinary, they had no reason to refuse, so they had to re-lay the pen and paper they had put away and wrote Chu Zhen's name on it.
"Please draw on this note. ”
On a piece of paper full of fingerprints, Chu Zhen filled in his name, and then pressed a handprint on it with his thumb.
What is written on this piece of paper is nothing more than a promise that if you can be shortlisted for the top sixteen, you are willing to do something for Xuanyue Pavilion unconditionally. Although Xuanyue Pavilion did not specify what this matter was, this piece of paper actually did not have much of a binding effect, so what Xuanyue Pavilion asked to do would not be too embarrassing, otherwise if these people were forced to be anxious, they would inevitably do something that they did not admit their accounts.
Chu Zhen drew a charge without even thinking about it, with his personality, he never liked to take other people's things for nothing, as long as the things proposed by Xuanyue Pavilion were not excessive, he didn't mind helping this at all.
"It's time for you to come, today is the last day to sign up. Early tomorrow morning, please go to the Half Moon Garden in the west of the city to participate in the first round of elimination. ”
One of the attendants put away the pen and paper and handed over a bronze medal as a voucher for the competition.
"Okay, thank you. ”
Chu Zhen took the bronze medal, thanked him, and went to find a place to rest first. He's been busy on the road these days, and he hasn't had a good rest.
Late at night, in a graceful and luxurious study in the Xuanyue Pavilion, a shadow leaned lightly on the armrest, gently shaking the pu fan woven of silk in her hand.
She has a graceful figure, slender and round, with a touch of coquettishness and provocative charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and a delicate, silky face with a small mouth that seems to be smiling, just one glance is enough to make people's hearts ripple.
This young woman is only in her early twenties, but her demeanor has a mature charm, as well as the composure and calmness that can only be cultivated by staying in a high position for a long time.
This mature and somewhat debauched and charming woman is the owner of Xuanyue Pavilion, Yashi.
And the decoration of this room, just like its owner, is luxurious and beautiful mixed with a touch of charm.
"Old Gu, hasn't there been any news back from there?"
Esther frowned, causing a hint of worry to appear in her coquettish eyes.
"Miss Hui, I haven't heard anything yet. Things are complicated over there, so I guess they can't be so fast!"
An old man dressed in gray with white hair and beard stood in front of Yashi who was leaning on a chair, and couldn't help but feel relieved while looking kindly at the young lady who had served him for many years.
Estie nodded slightly, but the worry in her eyes did not subside, after all, it was too important to her.
"Old Gu, you will preside over tomorrow's knockout round, I won't go. If there are any unusual characters, you can pay attention to them and come back and tell me. ”
For Gu Lao, Yashi has complete trust, if Gu Lao wanted to be unfavorable to himself, he would have died many times a long time ago.
"It's okay, Miss has been doing a lot of things lately, and it's time to take a good rest. ”
Gu Lao watched Yashi grow up, and treated her like his own daughter, seeing that Yashi had been tired recently and had little time to rest, he was very distressed.
"Alas, where can I rest, the eldest young master of the Zhang family has begun to use the power of the family to put pressure on Xuanyue Pavilion again, and I have to find a way to deal with it. ”
Yashi sighed lightly, she had long been annoyed by this eldest young master of the Zhang family, if it weren't for the strength of the Zhang family, she really wanted to find an opportunity to slaughter this eldest young master.
For this eldest young master of the Zhang family, Gu Lao is also very clear, compared with cultivation, he puts more of his mind on women, but he is only in his twenties, and he has already accepted a four-room concubine, and he is a complete womanizer. And he has coveted Yashi's beauty for a long time, and in the past two years, he has taken the opportunity to find trouble in Xuanyue Pavilion, in order to force Yashi to be his fifth concubine.
For this eldest young master, Gu Lao also hated it so much.
"Old Gu, you should go and rest first, there are still things to be busy tomorrow!"
The eldest young master of the Zhang family is not yet moving, and Yashi can only choose to forbear for the time being.
"The old slave retired. ”
Gu Lao sighed helplessly and slowly retreated.
When Gu Lao walked out of the room, Yashi's charming eyes suddenly fluttered slightly involuntarily, as if she was forcibly enduring something.
Closing her eyes hard, Esther tried her best to adjust her breathing and the riotous inner element, and after only a few breaths, her forehead was covered with sweat.
"Whew-"
After a few moments, Esther finally relented. She let out a sigh of relief, and then wiped the sweat from her forehead with her jade hand.
Yashi knows her situation best, and if she can't find a way to solve her internal troubles, she will not be far from the end of the day.
Yashi whispered a little helplessly, "It seems that I can only hope that everything goes well over there." ”
Gently closing her eyes, Yashi lay down in her chair and took advantage of this rare leisure time to take a break.
At the same time, in an ordinary room of the inn, Chu Zhen was also sitting cross-legged on the bed, making the last rest before the ring competition.
