"Oh, dare I ask this old gentleman, what is the trick?"

Listening to the old man's sudden voice, Emperor Qiyao, like the young man and the girl, was stunned at first, but he quickly came back to his senses and immediately asked.

"Hehe, as long as you promise to help the old man do something, today's matter will be over, and at the same time, this animal skin remnant can also be given to you for free!"

The old man in gray stroked his beard lightly and smiled.

"Teacher, you..."

"Master He, this..."

Hearing that the old man wanted to personally guarantee that the black cloak was safe, and at the same time he had to give the animal skin to the other party without any charge, so that the young man and the girl on the side all hurriedly spoke up, wanting to dissuade him.

It's just that before the two of them could say anything more, they were interrupted by the old man in gray waving his hand.

"Well, this old gentleman, thank you for your kindness, it's just that the kid's ability is limited, I'm afraid it's difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, let's see if there can be other solutions." “

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Qiyao shook his head slightly.

After all, there were a few people standing in front of him, one was a hegemon-level force in the backing town, and the other was a third-grade alchemist who was disrespectful, Emperor Qiyao really couldn't think of anything else that he needed his help with, and even if there were, it would not be ordinary to think that the difficulty would not be ordinary.

"Oh, little one, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be too modest, and opportunities are often fleeting!

Facing Emperor Qiyao's tactful refusal, the old man in gray smiled indifferently.

"That's it..."Di Qiyao pondered slightly, and always felt that this old guy had something to say, and he said very simply at the moment, "It's okay, then the old gentleman, please speak." ”

"Hehe!" The gray-clothed old man smiled when he heard this, and said slowly, "Have you heard of Xiao Danhui?"

"No!" Emperor Qiyao was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Listening to this name, could it be related to the alchemist?"

"Yes, Xiaoyou is really smart!

The old man in gray praised him appreciatively, and then slowly said,

"In the Imperial Capital, there is a force formed by alchemists, called Danhui! It is the cultivation holy place of all alchemists in the empire, just like the status of the Liuyun Sect in the minds of martial artists!

It's just that the conditions for Na Dan to accept people are extremely strict, and those who are not talented will not be accepted! If a casual cultivator like us wants to survive, the only way to stay warm is to hold a group for warmth, and it is precisely in this situation that Xiao Dan will be born with the trend!

Although the Imperial Danhui accepts people strictly, it is not easy to cultivate in the same vein as Danshi, so it was ordered that any city in the empire, as long as there are alchemists of the third grade and above, they can form a small Danhui on their own, which can be regarded as an alternative shelter for loose cultivation pharmacists.

I have also traveled to the mainland, apprenticed to seek the Dharma, and was promoted to a third-grade alchemist ten years ago, and then I thought of returning to my roots, returning to my hometown and establishing the Xiaodan Society. “

Emperor Qiyao was a little stunned, obviously it was the first time he had heard of the magical existence of this little Danhui, and at the same time, he was also quite moved by the life of the old man in gray.

Although the old man only said a few words, but you can imagine that scene, there was once a high-spirited young man, with full of enthusiasm and proud talent, wandering the rivers and lakes, traveling the mainland, but he didn't want to run into walls everywhere, reduced to a casual cultivation, no way out, had to explore by himself, but did not achieve fame, but found that he had grown old, only to return to his hometown.

Although he formed a small Danhui that seemed very majestic to outsiders, Emperor Qiyao could hear that whenever the old man mentioned the Imperial Danhui, his words always revealed endless admiration and deep regret, as if that was the place he was chasing in his life.

"Since you haven't heard of the Xiao Dan Society, you must not know about the Xiao Dan Tower, right?"

Emperor Qiyao nodded slightly.

"Similarly, inside the Imperial Capital Danhui, there is a Dan Pagoda, which is a kind of strange pagoda condensed by the spiritual power of many Dan masters, and this pagoda has the divine effect of tempering the spirit of baptism!

You must know that for an alchemist, the two most important things are the pill recipe and the other is the spiritual power! In recent years, the Imperial Capital Dan Society has also paid a lot of attention to the cultivation of our scattered cultivation pharmacists, so it has also given some small Dan pagodas similar to the effect of Dan Pagoda tempering spiritual power in this empire.

And in my backer town, there is also a small Dan tower, which can be regarded as a pride of my backer town, after all, looking at the hundreds of large and small cities in the entire empire, there is only one out of ten cities that can have their own small Dan tower. ”

Looking at the proud gray-clothed old man on his face, Emperor Qiyao nodded, quite understanding the old man's mood, he had wasted his life, and he must be extremely pleased and proud to be able to bring such benefits and momentum to his hometown in his old age.

"But ......"

The pride on the face of the gray-clothed old man did not last long, but suddenly became bitter, shook his head and sighed softly:

"The Little Dan Pagoda has an extremely powerful cohesive effect on the Dan Masters of a city, which is equivalent to the holy land in the hearts of many Dan Masters, and the Little Dan Societies of other cities are trying their best to get a Little Dan Pagoda, but how can this thing be so easy to get?"

Emperor Qiyao nodded slightly, never interrupting the old man's words, just listening quietly, after all, he knew very little about the secret history of this kind of alchemist, and he was also quite curious.

"With the support of the Imperial Capital Dan Society, more and more scattered cultivators have returned to their hometowns, or chosen cities to live!

Danhui did not give a new little Danta, which eventually caused some troubles, such as forcibly snatching the little Danta...... But fortunately, this kind of thing was later stopped under the intervention of the Imperial Capital Danhui, but there was also an unwritten rule because of this, and that is Tadou!"

"Tower Bucket?"

"This is a confrontation between the two cities, of course, to be exact, it should be the confrontation of the younger generation of Danshi, and the victory of this confrontation is the little Danta. The old man in gray said slowly.

"What the old gentleman means is that the Xiao Dan Society in other cities can challenge the Xiao Dan Society in the backing town, and if they win, they can take this Xiao Dan Pagoda away?" Di Qiyao raised his eyebrows and asked out loud.

"Yes, but there are also two limitations!First, the two cities should not be separated by more than 100 miles!" the old man nodded.

"Well, this distance setting is also reasonable, why don't everyone pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and it's not too sad?" Hearing this, Emperor Qiyao nodded in agreement and said with a smile.

"Second, to initiate a tower fight, the challenger must win three times in a row, and can only challenge once a year. The old man continued.

"It's no problem to limit the number this time, there can be no luck in one victory, and if you lose three times, then you have no grudges. ”

Emperor Qiyao spoke up again in approval.

Listening to the young man's analysis, the old man also agreed, but his face was extremely unnatural.

"Reasonable you big-headed ghost, I've already lost twice before, and this is the last chance. ”

At this time, an indignant cheer sounded again, and it was Long Ling'er who was pouting on the side.

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qiyao's face also stiffened, and his smile was a little embarrassing.

"Alas, there is no way, ten years ago, I returned to Gushan Town and formed the Little Dan Society here, at that time there were no other Little Dan Societies within this hundred miles, even the largest city within this hundred miles, there were no in Boulder City.

Therefore, after I formed the Xiao Dan Society, I also attracted a lot of alchemist apprentices to come over, and it was precisely because of this that the Imperial Capital Dan Society gave the Xiao Dan Pagoda.

It's just that three years ago, the Giant Stone City invited a fourth-grade alchemist from nowhere, and with the more abundant resources of the Giant Stone City, it gradually added to the Xiao Dan Society of my backer town, and even snatched away a lot of apprentices.

Three years ago, he launched a tower fight to my backer town Xiao Dan Club, and lost for two consecutive years, this time the tower fight is very important for my backer town Xiao Dan Club, if you lose again, Xiao Danta will have to move to Boulder City. ”

The gray-clothed old man stared at Emperor Qiyao and said with a wry smile.

"That old gentleman is thinking..."Emperor Qiyao's pupils shrank, and he said faintly.

The gray-clothed old man looked at Emperor Qiyao tightly, and said slowly: "This time in the tower fight, I want to ask you to make a move!"
