The imperial capital of the Tongye Empire, Tongye City.

Chongyao Mountain Range, Pindan Pavilion.

"Elder Mohua, how is the matter of recruiting disciples in the pavilion?" Above the first place, a beautiful woman who seemed to have descended from the sky and was not stained with fine dust sat elegantly. She has a peerless face that is delicate without any flaws, with eyebrows like distant mountains and a high nose bridge. Those pure eyes without any magazines seem to be smiling, but they always reveal a coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away. The waterfall-like green silk coils at the back of the head, giving people a sense of dignity. It's Wanqing.

Seeing that this palace was not long in construction and was quite magnificently decorated, Wanqing nodded slightly, then looked at Mo Hua below, and asked softly.

"Hall Master, the notice has been prepared, and the announcement area has been basically finalized. Please also ask the hall master to take a look. Elder Mo Hua walked forward slowly and respectfully handed over the edict and the list of proclamations in his hand.

After looking at the contents of the notice, Wanqing nodded slightly, and when her eyes turned to the list of notices, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Why are these announcement areas all of them some large cities in the vicinity of Tongye City?" Wan Qing asked, setting aside the announcement roster.

"Hall Master, this time the Pindan Pavilion recruits disciples in the Pavilion is different from the previous Dan Palace. Because this time, Pindan Pavilion is relatively harsh on the conditions for recruitment. According to your instructions, all dispensers must be under the age of 30 and must also be at the junior level. Under these conditions, I am afraid that there are suitable candidates for Tongye City and some large cities around it, and those small cities that can reach the primary and upper level at the age of 30 are probably very rare, so those small cities are not included in the announcement list. Mo Hua explained.

"Then what if there is, I saw it with my own eyes when I was in the Shenhe...."Hearing this, Wan Qing said hurriedly, but the next moment she realized that her tone was wrong, and paused, and when she spoke again, she had already returned to her previous calm appearance: "Expand the scope of the announcement a little more, the Pindan Pavilion is different from the Dan Palace, this time, let the disciples in the Pin Dan Pavilion come from all over the Tongye Empire, and not only limited to Tongye City and some surrounding cities like the Dan Palace." "I was just about to hand the book to Elder Mo Hua, but as if he was not at ease, Wanqing's jade hands inadvertently took it back, and immediately listed some cities on it personally: "Giant Rock City, Dalin City..."

Write down the names of dozens of cities in one breath, and at the bottom of the list, Wan Qingmei's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally she picked up the pen again and wrote the two cities of "Gengcheng and Xincheng".

After doing this, Wanqing seemed to be relieved, she inadvertently took a light breath, and then handed the announcement list to Mo Hua.

Respectfully took over the roster, Mo Hua did not slack off, and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

"Gengcheng, Xincheng, how can even the two northeastern cities of the empire be included? Since the hall master came back last time, it seems that he has changed as a different person, is there something on his mind?" Walking outside the hall, Mo Hua looked at the list of announcements, and couldn't help but guess softly.

....

Carell Pawnshop Headquarters.

On the first place, a middle-aged man in plain clothes sat lazily, looking at his appearance, Hao Ran was the current helmsman of the Carell family, --- Carell Yinhai, the head office of the Carell Pawnshop.

"There are still three months left before the family meeting, and all the branches in the empire have been notified. Yinhai looked at a young man below and asked.

"Father, all the notices have been in place, and it is estimated that some of the masters are already on their way to the imperial capital. The young man replied.

"Well, that's good. I really hope that in those branches, there will be a few dark horses in the past few years. Nodding with satisfaction, Yinhai's voice changed and said.

"No matter how dark the horse is, our head office has a father in charge, is it possible, can we still steal the limelight from our head office?" Hearing this, the young man suddenly smiled.

"Don't be a sycophant, have you been to see your grandfather?" smiled and scolded the young man, Yinhai said.

"Hmph, I know that if you let Junhong go to see me, you can't go on a trip in person?" As soon as Yinhai's voice fell, an old voice came with a hint of questioning, and following the prestige, I saw that at the door of the main hall, an old man in sackcloth, was on crutches, staring at Yinhai with some reproach. The old man seemed to be dying, but the aura emanating from his body was extremely powerful and powerful, and it was so oppressive that it made people a little breathless. This old man is none other than the former owner of the Carell Pawnshop and one of the five heroes of the former General Industry Empire, Carell Duanfu.

"Father, why are you here? Seeing the old man in Mai who suddenly appeared, Yinhai suddenly smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly went up to help.

"If you don't come to see me, I can only come to see you. Hearing this, Duan Fu suddenly blew his beard and said.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of disturbing your retreat. By the way, father, how is your cultivation lately, and has there been any progress?" Yinhai asked.

"Hey, it's that easy. Hearing this, Duanfu suddenly shook his head. He is currently at the peak of the Ninth Rank Qianyuan, as long as he takes one step further, he will be able to step into the Jinyuan level that countless other people yearn for, but if he wants to take this step smoothly, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult. Countless Qianyuan peak powerhouses have stopped here all their lives. Duanfu should have already understood this.

"I don't know what happened to those three old things. The old man looked at the mountains in the distance, and said.

"A while ago, I went to Chongyao Hall to listen to the meaning of the master of Wanqing Hall, Old Man Su Han has also been breaking through in retreat in recent years, but he should not have succeeded in breaking through. As for the old man of Huanqin in Huanxin Gate and the old man Gubo in Yanjing Gate, they have also been in retreat in recent years. "Yinhai Road.

"I hope that at least one of the four of us can successfully step into the Jinyuan level. The old man's gaze retracted from the mountain range in the distance, and Duanfu's face suddenly became a little solemn: "Yinhai, what do you think of Tongye City today?"

"It's crowded during the day, and it's lit up in the evening. Four words, prosperity. "Yinhai Road.

"Hehe, is it," Duanfu smiled faintly, and asked the question again, but it made De Yinhai's heart skip a beat: "What do you think of the inexplicable fall of the former emperor Liu Ruicang?"

"Didn't Old Man Liu Ruicang fall with hatred when he broke through with the recurrence of his old injuries and his rush to attack his heart when he broke through?" Yinhai said with a serious face.

"Isn't there anything strange about it? Ordinary people know that breaking through with injuries is a taboo in cultivation, so how stupid would that old thing?" Duan Fu asked.

"When Liu Ruicang fell, I felt a little strange, and now with his strength infinitely close to the Jin Yuan level, I have an intuition that he should have been poisoned at the beginning, so he died with hatred. ”

"How is it possible, Old Man Liu Ruicang was a real eighth-stage Qianyuan powerhouse back then, and in this Tongye Empire, only the four of you can fight with him. At this point, Yin Hai seemed to think of some possibility, his throat rolled fiercely, he took a deep breath, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that he is a master outside the empire?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. In my perception, there is an unusually powerful strange aura in this Tongye City, and this aura must be owned by the strong people of the Jin Yuan! However, this aura is extremely secret, if I hadn't touched the threshold of the Jin Yuan level, I am afraid I would not have been able to perceive it. Duanfu said with a solemn face.

"Of course, this is just speculation for the father, but if that person really has bad intentions for the Empire, I don't think it will be long before he will do something. If that's the case," paused, and the worry in Duanfu's eyes was even worse, "I'm afraid that this Tongye City is going to change." ”
