"What kind of contract?" asked Long Haotian.

"It is the Holy Star Tower that bears the resources that these martial artists use for cultivation. When it comes to a certain time, the Holy Star Tower will conduct a corresponding assessment of these martial artists. If you fail the assessment, you will become a miscellaneous servant of the Holy Star Tower, and if you pass the assessment, the promised star seed will be issued, and the status of this martial artist in the Holy Star Tower will be improved accordingly, and then further cultivated. ”

Long Haotian nodded, secretly thinking that if he hadn't gotten this opportunity in front of him, he might have considered trying his luck at the Holy Star Tower, relying on his own strength in exchange for cultivation resources.

"That's not bad," Long Haotian said with a smile, "I thought that if I didn't pass the assessment, I would be ordered to spit out those resources!"

"That's not true, the Holy Star Tower attaches great importance to talents, and to be honest, it also respects it very much—this is probably because of the Divine Weapon Hall competing with it—so even if many martial artists can't pass the assessment, they will willingly do miscellaneous labor. Even though it's very dangerous to do chores!"

"Is it still dangerous to do miscellaneous labor?" Long Haotian said puzzled.

"That's nature! Where do you think all these elixirs in the Holy Star Tower came from? Many of them came from the fierce beasts in the Dragon Bird Ridge. And most of the killing of those brute beasts is the work of this group of miscellaneous servants. You must know that the miscellaneous servants are just ordinary martial artists in the Qingtian Realm, and killing those fierce beasts can be described as nine deaths!"

"Is there anyone else willing to do this?" asked Long Haotian.

"Yes! The higher the risk, the higher the reward! Completing such a task once can obtain merit points, which can be exchanged for the elixir in the Holy Star Tower at a discount, and the price is almost half of the market price! This is too tempting for those martial artists!

"And some outstanding Hanmen martial artists often stand out through a mission, and are directly awarded the star seed and promoted to the star warrior from then on. So despite the danger, a lot of people are rushing to it!"

"It seems that everywhere, big opportunities and big risks will always coexist!" Long Haotian muttered to himself.

While talking, the two had already reached the end of the road, and the tsunami-like cheers came to their faces.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Don't stop, don't stop!"

"Heh! murderous!" Long Haotian said with a smile.

"Of course, as long as you step into this decisive battle, you have only two choices: become the ultimate winner and walk down by yourself, or become a dead man and be carried down!"

As soon as the two of them appeared in the dueling arena, they were greeted by a fellow. Long Haotian clearly felt that this person's cultivation was not weak, at least he already had the ninth level of the Qingtian Realm.

"Uncle Rong, is this what you call a handyman?"

"Not bad!" Rong Hua nodded.

Then the guy greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Rong, why are you here? Are you looking for tea with my landlord?"

"This is my eighth son. Ronghua raised his voice, deliberately wanting to be heard by the people around him.

"Ah! I've heard of it! Ahh

During this time, in order to change public opinion, Yan Xin has not put much effort into it. Now in Dragon Bird City, almost everyone knows that Yanxiong has an eighth son.

"Young man," Rong Hua asked, looking at the duel in the arena, "Why do I look a little different in this duel today?

"Hey, Uncle Rong wouldn't say that you are an expert, you will be able to see it at a glance!"

"Don't hold it!" Rong Hua waved his hand, "Those who come to see it can understand it at a glance." If it's a selection duel, most of them are young people, and some people can see that they are talented, but their cultivation is not very high. But today, many people clearly suppressed the realm to compete, so this must not be a selection competition!"

"Ha!Rong Bo, you're half right!" the guy said with a smile on his face, "Today's selection is just a selection conducted by the Eight Great Families through a treasure in our Saint Star Tower!"

"Eight families?" Long Haotian repeated, and said secretly: "How do you feel that this Dragon Bird City is full of families. The Yan family, the Cheng family, the Lu family, the Wang family, and now there are eight major families, and they don't know where they came from!"

"Hah, haven't you heard of these eight families?" the guy asked with a smile, but there was more surprise in his words.

Ronghua patted Long Haotian on the shoulder and signaled that this matter would be talked about later. He looked at the guy and said, "Speaking of which, how is this selection competition today?"

"As long as you are a martial artist under the age of thirty, you can participate," the guy said, "They are even going to tell our landlord to allow the people of our Holy Star Tower to play tricks too!"

"Ha! The Eight Great Families are not small, isn't this a blatant robbery?" Rong Hua smiled.

"So, our landlord is not stupid, the Holy Star Building has its own rules of the Holy Star Building. How the eight major families like to play is their business, anyway, our Holy Star Building is a business in the final analysis, and the star species can be used to recruit talents, and naturally they can also be exchanged for rich rewards, depending on which one is worth it!"

"That's right, then what is the origin of this sixth-order high-grade star?"

"This is naturally the treasure of our Holy Star Tower, the sixth-order high-grade Fire Dragon Sparrow Star Species. Of course, it is inferior to the seventh-order high-grade Flame Dragon Sparrow Star Species that your Yan family has recently collected! However, this is already a coveted treasure for ordinary martial artists!"

"It looks like the Eight Great Families are going to bleed heavily this time! Your Zhao Mansion Master is so shrewd, he has never traded at a loss!"

"Uncle Rong, look at what you said! Ah, someone is calling me again, and I have to get busy. Eighth son, why don't you take care of the little one, I hope to take care of it!"

With that, the guy hurried away.

When Long Haotian saw the man walking away, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Rong, who are these eight families?"

"They are some of the new families in the area around Dragonbird City. Ronghua said.

"The surrounding area?" Long Haotian repeated, "In other words, it's not in Dragon Bird City?"

"That's right! In addition to the Yan family, only the Cheng family is larger. The rest simply doesn't make the climate. Ronghua explained.

"Then who are these eight families?" Long Haotian asked.

"I can't remember exactly which eight, but three of them are the most powerful. Chiyan Villa Chijia, Flying Bear Fort Bear Family, and Red Leaf Village Ye Family. In the past few years, the speed of their rise has been very amazing, and Lord Guogong is also very troubled by this! Moreover, I heard that these families have close contacts with the Cheng family. ”

"It seems that their intentions are obvious!" Long Hao said.

"That's right, but they don't have enough strength at the moment. After all, none of them have been promoted to the rank of knight, and they have no right to support the army. But if this time the heroes meet, their rising stars can achieve remarkable achievements, and then make meritorious deeds and be crowned, then at that time, there will be some trouble!"
