Chapter 15 A word to solve the siege
"Brother Tang, were you shouting just now?"
Just when Tang Chen was puzzled, Xie Xiaojun asked again, which brought Tang Chen's mind to the right thing.
"Oh, that's the case, I'm familiar with this shopkeeper, this matter of rent, let's see if we can discuss it and be accommodating?" Tang Chen replied, feeling quite apprehensive in his heart, he knew that the Xie family would not act on his face, and the reason why he said this was just to probe the wind in order to think of other ways.
"It turned out to be your friend, that's really embarrassing, offended!" Xie Xiaojun showed an apologetic expression, arched his hand towards Tang Chen, and said, "Since this is the case, let's give it a while longer." ”
After speaking, Xie Xiaojun gave the feminine man another look, and the feminine man understood, and immediately helped the middle-aged woman up, and fed her a healing pill.
This elixir was originally used by Xingshi, for ordinary people, and the effect was simply immediate, and in just a few breaths, the middle-aged woman's face improved, and she looked a few points better than her original complexion.
Seeing this, Tang Chen was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect that with just one sentence, the problem would be solved, and the back hand that he came up with in a hurry had no chance to use it at all.
"What the hell is going on? When did the Xie family talk so well, and what conspiracy did they have?"
Not only was Tang Chen suspicious in his heart, but the onlookers were also a little confused.
Everyone knows that the three major families of the Tang family, the Xie family and the Tan family in Hanyang City are in competition with each other, and there is no less friction on weekdays, and they do not give in to each other.
But it is such a person, and he actually made the young master of the Xie family sell him a face with one sentence, which is really incredible.
Just when Tang Chen was stunned, Xie Xiaojun had already gotten up, followed by the feminine man and the silly man, and came to the front together.
"I don't know if Brother Tang has free today, let's go to Hanyang Tower for a drink or two?" Xie Xiaojun asked, his eyes were quite eager.
Hearing this, Tang Chen's vigilance immediately increased a few points, thinking that they had nothing to do to be courteous, and they were definitely not well-intentioned, and it was better not to go to this banquet, so he politely declined.
Seeing Tang Chen's refusal, Xie Xiaojun and the three couldn't help but show disappointment, but they didn't continue to entangle, and left after a few words of greeting, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
"Thank you benefactor for your help!" As soon as Xie Xiaojun and the others left, the middle-aged woman hurriedly came to Tang Chen and bowed her body to thank her.
"Hurry up, please get up!" Tang Chen hurriedly supported the middle-aged woman to prevent her from bowing down, and then explained his intention.
When the middle-aged woman heard that Tang Chen had come to thank her son, she felt very honored in her heart, but she kept being humble for her son.
At the same time, she also appreciated Tang Chen's personality even more, she knew Entu at a young age, although this kind of behavior is not rare, but it is rare to see someone as attentive as Tang Chen.
Tang Chen regretted that Liu Dashan was not at home, so he had to hand Xie Yi over to Liu Dashan's mother and told her that she could go to Tang's house to find him if she had something.
After leaving Liu's shop, Tang Chen went to the homes of two other life-saving benefactors.
The two men, one named Li Mingshan and the other named Luo Bingde, were also not at home, and according to their families, they went into the mountains with Liu Dashan.
Regarding the diligence of Liu Dashan and the others, Tang Chen could understand that the three of them were all from civilian backgrounds, unlike their own family support, they could obtain a lot of convenience by completing family tasks in their cultivation, and everything they needed for cultivation had to be earned by their own efforts, so they must pay more than the children of the family.
From Liu Dashan and others, Tang Chen also felt a sense of urgency to become stronger.
In less than half a year, it will be the annual city competition, and all the stars under the age of twenty will gather at the Hanyang City Battle Star Terrace to compete with each other, and those who perform well will have the opportunity to be favored by the Shanhe Sect and become their outer disciples, and from then on, they will leap into the dragon gate and lead to a broader world.
Joining the sect is the only choice for every star master, because only by joining the sect will you have the opportunity to obtain higher-level cultivation techniques and star skills, get more cultivation resources, and go further on the road of cultivation.
The Shanhe Sect is a ninth-rank force with a strong star king, and it is one of the top ten sects in the northern part of the wasteland, and it has a wide area under its jurisdiction, in addition to the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the sect, it also governs dozens of towns and cities, and Hanyang City is one of them.
Every year, the Shanhe Sect will preside over the city competition and select outstanding teenagers to add to the ranks of disciples. For the sect, this is an inevitable measure to maintain its long-term prosperity, but for thousands of non-sect stars, it is a great opportunity, and no one wants to miss it.
The reason why Liu Dashan and others are so diligent is actually because they want to take advantage of the previous progress in the city ratio, in order to have a chance to stand out in the city ratio.
The opportunity to join the sect, Tang Chen also didn't want to miss it, now he is less than half a year away from the city competition, and his strength has only reached the third-order star warrior, such strength, he doesn't even have the qualifications to participate in the city competition, at least he has to have the strength of the fifth-order star warrior.
Therefore, he must seize the time to cultivate and condense into the first sub-soul star as soon as possible, and then he will be able to have the strength equivalent to a sixth-order star warrior.
However, if you want to become an outer disciple of the Shanhe Sect, it is not enough to have the strength of a sixth-order star warrior, because the Shanhe Sect only recruits twenty disciples in Hanyang City every year, and the competition is quite fierce. To be on the safe side, it is best to be able to condense into a second secondary soul star and reach the strength of a ninth-order star warrior.
In less than half a year, it was so difficult to condense two secondary soul stars, which Tang Chen didn't dare to imagine. According to his rough estimate, the two secondary soul stars need to consume two billion billions of third-order warrior cores (third-order warrior beasts' star cores), such a huge amount, it is simply an incompleteable task, if it weren't for his instinctive trust in the "Ten Thousand Souls Returning to the Sect" supernatural power, just counting the consumption of this terrifying star core, he would have retreated in fright.
Time is very urgent, Tang Chen is very anxious in his heart, he has a feeling that he lacks skills, and he can't incarnate into tens of millions.
After the visit, Tang Chen did not go home, but went directly out of the city and entered the barren forest, starting his plan of "Ten Thousand Souls Returning to the Sect".
Since he already had the strength of a third-order star warrior, and had practiced the third layer of the Qiushui Sword, he could really walk sideways in the first white district, even if he was unfortunate enough to encounter a fourth-order warrior beast, he was confident that he would retreat with his whole body.
Therefore, he had already thought that in order to save time, after entering the forest, he would sweep all the way through without detours.
As soon as he entered the forest, he broke into the territory of the tusks, and saw giant monster insects one by one foot long, gathered in groups.
These toothed insects appear to be gentle and feed only on small insects, sometimes eating the leaves of plants and trees, but in fact, they have an instinctive hostility towards humans, and will attack wildly when they encounter them.
At this time, a group of toothed insects had already discovered Tang Chen, and they showed their three-foot-long meniscus-like teeth, like a pair of sharp scissors, biting together quickly, making a scalp-numbing friction sound.
