"Hammer, don't cry. The old-timers really didn't mean to hurt your self-esteem, there is a brother here, don't be afraid!"

Seeing that he weighed it again and again, he was just saying the truest thoughts in his heart, and the next moment he saw the hammer plunging into the arms of the fat man, crying to death, Ta Chu was immediately messy, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Which sentence of the old man stimulated you like this?"

The heartbroken cries entered his ears, so that Ta Chu was indeed a little overwhelmed, and at that moment he subconsciously moved his seat to the side, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Hao and Jin Fengqing with a crying and laughing look on their faces, and he frowned and said: "What's wrong with this child? This should be seen by others, and it may be misunderstood that the old man is disrespectful to the old man and bullies the small, right?"

"Senior, don't get me wrong, this matter is a long story. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao and Jin Fengqing looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and explained all the things that would be met with Hammer Er for the first time and the subsequent entry into the trading hall, and even the misunderstandings caused in the trading street in the past few days.

"Really?"

Even if he heard it with his own ears, Ta Chu still felt a little unbelievable, and immediately questioned it, looked at Zhang Hao and nodded seriously, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Not to mention anything else, if everyone meets for the first time, if it gives people such an illusion of bitter hatred, it is expected that ordinary people will not be afraid to give up lightly, right? In this way, it is a miracle that this child can survive until now! Just like just now, if he hadn't met Xiao Hao in advance, the old man really wanted to slap him in the face, and then ask the reason. ”

"Senior, is the appearance of the younger generation really as unbearable as you said?" Hearing this, he had regained some confidence in the fat man's arms at this time. He asked with teary eyes.

"Well, you turn your head first. Otherwise, the old man will be angry when he sees you. ”

Turn your head sideways. Afraid that anything more would irritate Hammer'er's fragile heart, Ta Chu comforted him a little against his will: "It's not that your appearance is unbearable, on the whole, you can be regarded as a handsome guy." But how can you say it? Your arms are very burly, and you have a rather wild temperament overall, and with those brilliant eyes, it's easy to think that you're looking for trouble, you know?"

"Are you handsome?" I couldn't hear the gentle comfort in the other party's words. After a long time, the hammer remembered two words, and wiped away the tears from his eyes, and smiled so that the fat man next to him suddenly felt a pain.

"Hey, it stands to reason that although the caster has been practicing all year round and is confined to one furnace and one house, relatively speaking, the path of cultivation is indeed relatively closed, but after going through all kinds of mortal realms, the mind should not be as fragile as a ceramic bottle. Looking at your ability to bear, it really makes the old man feel worried about the future of the mortal world!" Ta Chu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After saying that, Ta Chu waved his hand and calmed down again, not at all like expressing too many opinions on the appearance of the hammer, and changed the topic: "I think you have been to the exchange of the Tayang Hall before, and now you should have purchased a lot of Zeural Elixir on you, right?"

"Well, the number of pills is quite sufficient, one hundred and thirty second-order five-star to seven-star pills, and about sixty quasi-third-order pills. Seeing that Ta Chu was talking about business, Zhang Hao straightened his face and replied.

Nodding slightly, Ta Chu muttered: "Judging from the quality of the second-order elixir in the Ta Yang Palace, even if it reaches the quasi-third-order level, it will only have a double amplification characteristic at most, and such a little elixir is evenly distributed to the four of you, plus if you encounter a difficult opponent in the battle, you will have to use its elixir to restore your divine power, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persist in the selection competition for nearly three months, especially Xiao Hao, the speed at which you refine the energy of the Celestial Power is far beyond that of ordinary people." ”

"Three months, how can it be so long?" originally thought it was just a newcomer selection, but to Zhang Hao's surprise, it would last for so long. Not to mention anything else, he spent three days in the Star Technology Hall alone, and although most of his mind was focused on browsing the information, he still refined two Zeural Power Pills. At this rate of consumption, if you fully devote yourself to cultivation, with the current amount of the Zeli Pill, it will definitely not be able to supply enough, not to mention that there is very likely to be a battle consumption in the future?

"Don't you know the specific situation of the selection of newcomers to the Snow Star Palace?"

Looking at the four people in front of him, each showing a slightly unexpected look, Ta Chu explained with a wry smile: "According to the old man's cognition, the ten-year newcomer selection in the Xixuexing District must gather at least two hundred teams. For example, in the southwestern sub-district where the Tahr tribe is located, the six major families each supply five groups, for a total of thirty groups. The larger southern and northern star regions had to contribute forty groups, and the remaining groups had been organized by the Snow Star Hall himself for ten years. The rules of the event are very simple, that is, the best-of-three elimination system in the group, the reason why such a multi-person team selection is set is nothing more than to make the event more intense, and the one-on-one knockout match can also stimulate the maximum combat effectiveness of each group member, and then after the end of the competition, the targeted arrangement is made according to each person's table. Therefore, if you want to separate the winners and losers in such a group stage, you have to go through at least four battles. Even if the martial arts arena of the Snow Star Hall is very grand, it can accommodate five squads to compete at the same time, but if it is eliminated and promoted layer by layer, it will drag on the event for a long time. ”

"Now I understand. Hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded solemnly. Only then did he understand why Hammer would form a team with the three of them. And this so-called group stage is indeed more difficult than imagined, because the four-person game to win three games, it greatly increases the room for maneuver between the winner and the loser, not only to consider the appearance of the team members, but also to consider the configuration of the strength of the two sides, if you don't get it right, there may be an extreme situation where one person faces four people. It is indeed not easy to break through the encirclement and stand out in this kind of elite battle.

"So, when we get to the Snow Star Palace, after the old man meets with Hongjun and Bogu, discuss your identity properly, let's go buy a batch of alchemy materials, and the old man will personally refine some pills for you. ”

"Thank you, seniors. Looking at the worthless confidence on Ta Chu's face, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, which made the three Jin Fengqing next to him look a little stunned, after all, everyone had only known each other for a short time, and it was really a little confusing to be so close to the convenience table.

"Uncle, boy, listen to your tone, just mentioned the two main gods Hongjun and Bogu. Like an old friend?" The fat man is wandering around. For example, some places that provide leisure will inevitably have some travels and praise poets, and although not all of them are well-informed, this kind of people can almost always tell some interesting stories to make a living. It was from their mouths that the fat man heard the names of the three powerful people in the Snow Star Hall of the West Snow Star District, but whenever they mentioned it, the expressions of those people were all admiration, and they only threw themselves to the ground to bow and worship. Although this is just a kind of performance that is inevitably exaggerated. But at least it can be seen that several core powerhouses of the Snow Star Hall do have strong prestige in the West Snow Star District. And just now Ta Chu mentioned Hongjun and Bogu in his words, except for the plain, the fat man did not hear any respect, coupled with the fact that Ta Luoji behaved when he left the Tayang Hall before, so that he was also keenly aware of the other party's identity.

"It's kind of a one-sided relationship. "I heard Zhang Hao talk about the current situation in the Star Technology Hall before, and I knew that Lady Hammer was only one of the best people selected by Ta Luoji from the Taer Clan's selection this time, so Ta Chu didn't say much at this time, and responded briefly.

"The matter is decided like this first, which is to clarify the situation and time of the selection of newcomers. Traveling to the Snow Star Hall along the way, it would take at least seven days to ride the Starry Sky Teleportation Array of the Taer Inner Clan. You don't have to be stingy with the Elixir during this period of time. Put all your energy into your practice. Girl, the three of you will stay together and go to the left room to practice first, and the old man will personally go to the right room to guide Xiao Hao. ”

After the explanation fell, Ta Chu didn't give a few people a chance to ask too many questions, nodded to Zhang Hao, and the two of them left the small hall sandwiched between the two cultivation rooms quite mysteriously. Seeing this, the fat man and Jin Fengqing exchanged a look, knowing in their hearts that although they were extremely speculative with Scoop Hammer, they were far from reaching each other's trust in a few days, so the two of them didn't talk too much nonsense at this time, and after a casual haha, they beckoned the former to leave together

On the stone bed of the quiet cultivation room, Zhang Hao and Ta Chu sat side by side. Occasionally opening his eyes, Zhang Hao would glance sideways at the old man next to him, at this time, the other party was surrounded by both hands, and a palm-sized black stone chip in his palm was suspended in the air, and there were waves of rippling divine soul power on it, even if the soul power was restrained, it still gave Zhang Hao a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating.

In the Divine Realm, of course, there is no test and purple soul crystals that are scattered for the first time, but for Zhang Hao, who can now be described as a master of soul cultivation, the method used to cultivate spiritual consciousness carved with soul power patterns is simply not mentioned. The stone tablets in Ta Chu's hand were the substitutes he had made according to the subtlety of the purple soul crystal.

Relying on the divine sense to disperse the stone chips, although it took Ta Chu more than ten hours to successfully disperse the first spiritual consciousness after the initial test, but two days later, he successfully dispersed the two strands again, which really made Zhang Hao breathe a sigh of relief. This process is indeed far from him compared to him, but it is indeed expected that the other party has the talent of scattered spiritual sense, after all, the divine illusionists who are qualified to be promoted to the main god realm in the god realm are all the best among those who are amazing and glamorous.

"Whew"

Thinking about it, there was a sigh of relief in his ears, Zhang Hao immediately gathered his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ta Chu's eyelids move slightly, opened his eyes, and he smiled: "Senior, how do you feel?"

"It's amazing, it's unbelievable!"

Shaking his head bitterly and smiling, Ta Chu's eyes flashed with intense excitement, and said: "Maybe it's because the power of the Void Illusion Heavy Earth is too huge, and the traction is a little difficult, or the old man has a preliminary grasp of the scattered divine sense, and he can't use it proficiently, so it's a bit new to the situation predicted before." Even so, the speed of pulling energy to make up for the gap in the soul gate is now nearly doubled, and although it is very difficult to curb the flow of life force, it is much more difficult than imagined to look at the appearance and want to repair it as before. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao smiled heartily. The use of spiritual consciousness dispersion, of course, is not as simple as reading books, once dispersed, he is equivalent to gathering the power of forty-nine people, such as refining the energy and spiritual power contained in the Celestial Power Pill, with Zhang Hao's current spiritual consciousness cultivation, at most it is nearly twenty times more efficient than ordinary masters of the same level, and refining the quasi-third-order elixir can only be increased by fifteen times the efficiency.

Because, if the overall consciousness is compared to a bucket with a length and width of one meter, and the total weight of the water it holds is only 100 catties, then each dispersion of the divine consciousness can be compared to a small bucket with a length and width of only ten centimeters. Of course, this analogy is only a general situation, and the level of strength is like exchanging water for something else that is denser and denser. Take Zhang Hao as an example, if one day he achieves a star god or a main god realm powerhouse, I am afraid that if he refines the quasi-third-order Zeural power elixir in front of him, he can easily reach the speed of browsing books.

"Senpai, that's a good sign after all, isn't it?" (To be continued......)
