Chapter Twenty-Three: Hurry

Early the next morning.

Zhou Zhen and Mo Lao did not choose to take the wide and easy-to-walk road, but chose the winding mountain road.

"Ouch, I'm exhausted. After a night of traveling, Zhou Zhen was tired and sleepy at this time, sitting on the ground with his back against the roadside stones: "Teacher, why don't we take the main road and rest in the city we pass by on the way, isn't that more convenient?"

Mo Lao flew out of the "Space Ring", looked at Zhou Zhen who was so tired that he collapsed to the ground, and said: "Hehe, aren't you in a hurry to improve your strength, walking on the winding mountain road is also a good cultivation, and when your physical strength recovers, you will know the benefits." ”

Zhou Zhen was at a loss, he really didn't know how much strength he could improve by walking, if it was so simple to improve his strength, there would not be so many martial artists in the world whose strength stayed at a certain stage for years or even decades.

However, Mo Lao said that it was useful, and he would not doubt it.

After a short rest, Zhou Zhen got up and continued on his way.

"It should take a month to go to the capital, but we are walking on mountain roads, and we will go around some small cities directly, while the big cities can stop and go to the mall or auction hall to see what is worth buying. Mo Lao said.

"Uh... That one... Teacher" Zhou Zhen looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't bring much coiling when I went out, I'm afraid... Hey. ”

When Mo Lao heard this, he shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, there is no endless road, with your ......" Speaking of this, Mo Lao looked at Zhou Zhen's clothes and swallowed back the words he was about to say: "With your age and strength, you won't go anywhere without food." ”

"And, ahem... It's time for you to change your clothes, right? How can you say that you are also a young master of a big family, and it is really unflattering to be so poor and sour. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen looked down at his robe, and then scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hehe, it seems to be a little old." ”

"Let's go, after two or three mountains can go to a big city, remember, walking outside, especially with the worries of your family,

Don't reveal your true identity lightly. ”

Mo Lao reminded.

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Zhen was light, and then trotted towards the mountain road.

On the way to the mountain road, the process is extremely boring, but the boat is really not urgent, but walking among the green mountains and green waters, listening to the mountain birds, smelling the fragrance of wild flowers, feeling deeply comfortable, from the beginning of the trot, to the later stroll, you can see.

......

A few days later.

By this time the sun had gone down and it was getting late, so he set up a small hut in the woods, lit a bonfire in the hut, and roasted the fish caught from the stream not far away for dinner.

Wiping the spices off the corners of his mouth, Zhou Zhen sighed: "I was really comfortable today." ”

Walked into the small shed, sat down cross-legged, and then ran the qi refining and entered the cultivation state.

Not long after entering the cultivation state, Zhou Zhen was pleased to find that after a few days of walking, the refining qi in his dantian became more and more intense, and it was already very close to the saturation of the dantian.

"It seems that what the teacher said is right, walking on this mountain road is also a good way to cultivate, and in just a few days, I feel like I am about to break through. Zhou Zhenxi said.

"Hehe, how about it, is it a great teacher?" Mo Lao smiled proudly when he heard Zhou Zhen's words: "However, this is also because you fought with Lin Ying, and a battle of such intensity will be of great benefit to you at this stage." ”

"And what you lack now is that kind of intense confrontation, so I want to take you into the deep mountains to cultivate, and fight against demonic beasts stronger than yourself day and night, after all, in real life, no one can be willing to fight you to the death at every turn. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen's heart also began to be urgent.

I really want to get stronger!

......

The capital of the Xijin Dynasty, the holy capital of the Xijin, and the Heavenly Netherworld.

"Great Elder, you can give me a batch of people, I swear, within ten days, the matter will be resolved!"

In one of the offices, an old man was standing, speaking in a pleading tone to another old man across from him.

Walking in, the former was actually the old man who fought with Liu Ren in Tianxi City that day, that is, Lin Ying's master - Liu He.

"Liu He, as one of the few outer elders in the alliance, you should establish the prestige of our alliance and protect the reputation of our alliance, and even if you accept a wild apprentice, why should you participate in the hegemony of that small family?"

On the other side of the Liu River, an old man was sitting on a table and chair, it was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Netherworld Alliance-Liu Feng!

It looked like he was reviewing the documents, and there was some impatience in his tone.

"The group of disciples in the alliance who lent you last time, not only did you not help the Lin family succeed in the hegemony, but you actually lost some people, and even some serious injuries, and now you still have the face to borrow people?"

"Great Elder, the reason why I failed last time was because an unknown Martial Sect powerhouse suddenly appeared in the Zhou family, and with the help of that strong man, the Zhou family would escape!" Speaking of this, Liu He also gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "And that person has already left the Xijin Dynasty now, as long as the Great Elder gives me another chance, I will definitely be able to destroy the Zhou family!"

"Okay! No need to say any more!" Liu Feng slapped the table heavily, and said with some anger: "Liuhe! My Heavenly Netherworld Alliance is one of the three major forces of the Xijin Dynasty, and you, as an elder of the outer sect of the Alliance, took advantage of the situation to bully a small family but failed, and have already made my alliance lose face! But you still have to be unrelenting, and you actually swear to destroy a small family? You are shameless, and my Heavenly Netherworld Alliance still needs to be faced!"

"Great Elder, I ......"

"Okay!" Liu Feng interrupted: "Don't think about borrowing people! I don't know how to explain the last incident to the alliance leader, and when the alliance leader returns from going out, I'm afraid he will scold me again." ”

"The leader of the alliance is going out this time, and he will entrust the affairs of the alliance to me, I will definitely manage it well, I still have something to do, you go out first." ”

Liu Feng waved his hand to Liu He, and then continued to bow his head to review the documents.

Seeing this, Liu He couldn't say anything more, so he had to walk out of the room with a gray head, anger appeared on his face, and he secretly said in his heart: Zhoujia!

......

After a few days of traveling, Zhou Zhen has arrived at the target big city - Ni Cheng.

"Teacher, how many days are left before the magician exam?" Zhou Zhen asked.

"About a month, but we're going to get to the capital in fifteen days, so we don't have to stay here for long. Mo Lao said.

"Fifteen days," Zhou Zhen muttered, "enough time, this is only seven days away from the capital. ”

"Teacher, where are we going now?"

"Let's go and see what malls are available first. Mo Lao said.

"Teacher, I don't have much money on me, but I can't afford to buy any elixir and alchemy. ”

"Cut!" Mo Lao glanced at him: "Who wants you to buy those things, I want you to buy a piece of clothing, you poor and sour appearance, it's too disgusting." ”

“......”

Zhou Zhen glanced around, and sure enough, some strange eyes were projected, and he smiled awkwardly: "Uh...... All right. ”

After speaking, Zhou Zhen casually found a mall and walked in.

This is a civilian mall, which generally only sells items used in daily life, and the price is very cheap, and it will not be like those martial arts malls, where everything is expensive to death.

Because the prices are generally low, there are many people who come to shop, and the service attitude of the waiters is excellent, and everyone who walks out of here is full of smiles.

Zhou Zhen walked to a clothing store with a rather fashionable and gorgeous decoration, walked in, and was greeted by a young beautiful waitress.

"Hello, handsome little man, which clothes do you like? The clothes in our store are cheap and beautiful. ”

Talking and smiling with the waitress, Zhou Zhen casually chose a novel pure white robe.

"Hehe, little handsome guy, I didn't expect you to change into a robe, you're really handsome! Even I'm going to be tempted! Do you have a girlfriend? If not, don't you ......" The beautiful waitress said with a smile.

"Handsome is a certainty, hehe, but I want to be my girlfriend, I don't exist, I'm very cold. Zhou Zhen also said confidently on his face.

......

After settling the bill, Zhou Zhen walked out of the mall, and when he arrived on the avenue, he saw many passers-by hurriedly running in the same direction.

Zhou Zhen casually pulled someone over and asked, "This brother, the kid has just arrived, I don't know what is going on in front of you to attract everyone to come over?"

"Oh, it seems that you have just come to Nicheng, and a few days ago, the head of the Wen family, the great writer family of Nicheng, said that he was going to hold a competition to recruit relatives at noon today, and recruit a son-in-law for his little daughter! ”

"The Wen family had a certain share of speech in the Xijin Dynasty! Moreover, it is said that the daughter of the head of the Wen family was as beautiful as a fairy! Therefore, many people went to give it a try, but most of them were just toads. ”

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to check it out!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen thought for a moment.

Huge amount of money? This is what I lack now!
