Liucheng, if viewed from above, is a city in the shape of an oval.

Therefore, there are two central points in the city, one is the square in front of the city lord's palace and the gate, and the other is where the bell and drum tower stands.

In normal times, the Bell and Drum Tower is not open, so there are not many pedestrians passing nearby, and even fewer will stop to watch.

But this day is different.

Since early in the morning, the streets below the building have been congested, and many shops in the city have simply not opened, and the owner has come here with his men to compete for a place to watch.

Liu Chengwei was sent out early to maintain order.

The whole city quietly boiled.

There is only one reason for this situation, the Bell and Drum Tower Conference is about to begin!

Su Qin arrived not early or late, he and Wang Dashun rested in the auction house for two or three days, during which they were not disturbed in any way, except for exchanging some cultivation matters, that is, to meditate and exercise their soul power and accumulate their spirit.

And the night before, Yu Lu also went to explain more information about the Bell and Drum Tower Conference to them in person, which was much more comprehensive than what Su Qin knew from Cao Bangyan.

"It turns out that only the soul cultivators of the soul master can enter, and the people above the soul master will be directly excluded if they enter, and the inside of the building has a teleportation circle that can be moved at will, once it is teleported out, it can only be entered until the next day the building is opened. The same is true for those who can't resist the pressure in the building, once their soul power is overdrawn and they fall into a coma, they will also be repulsed. ”

Looking at the bell and drum tower, which looked unsightly on the outside, Su Qinyu recalled the information he had just learned in his heart.

"There is also the special effect brought by the sound of bells and drums, which is to help soul cultivation remove some impurities in the soul, make the soul power more pure, more convenient to cultivate, and more convenient when manipulating, it depends on which level the participants can work hard to go. ”

After reviewing the information he had obtained, and then looking at the people who stood in the front row, revealing their eagerness to try, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder as soon as this conference opened, so many soul cultivators would gather here, even if they couldn't climb to the fifth or sixth floors and obtain the rewards given by the City Lord's Mansion, at least they could experience a soul baptism in the building, and this kind of temptation was enough to make any low-level soul cultivator rush to it.

At the end of the day, the team from the Liucheng City Lord's Mansion finally arrived.

There was no need for Liu Chengwei to do anything, and the already crowded crowd took the initiative to give way to allow them to go through Guò.

Because, if there were no two fifth-order soul masters from the City Lord's Mansion to preside over it, the Bell and Drum Tower Conference would not be able to open, and today's excitement would not be watchable.

The two brothers, Song Qi and Song Lin, naturally appeared in the team, but their role was limited to foils, after all, these two were not soul cultivators, and they were only responsible for watching when they came.

As for the city lord of Liucheng, he really couldn't be there, it seemed that his cultivation had reached a critical juncture, and he couldn't even show up for such a big thing.

However, this does not affect anything, there are two fifth-order soul warriors in charge, on the ground of Liucheng, no one dares to act rashly at all, that is the equivalent of two earth-shattering realm powerhouses, walking through a street at will, leaving behind enough coercion to make ordinary people and some low-level martial artists tremble.

"Quiet!"

Unhindered to the foot of the Bell and Drum Tower, the two fifth-order soul warriors turned to face the crowd of onlookers at the same time, and one of them, Shi Feizhou, spoke first.

In fact, there is no need for him to say so, the scene has long been quiet, but it is more solemn in this way.

After a slight pause, he and another great soul cultivator, Du Shengchun, glanced at each other, and then said: "Everyone, the Bell and Drum Tower has been stored for many years, and we don't need to say more about the rules of the conference. Now the hour is right, and the conference will begin!"

After speaking, he and Du Shengchun suddenly rose from the ground, their big sleeves fluttered, and they rolled up the cornices outside the bell and drum tower, and went straight to the top of the building.

"Wow!"

This exquisite body technique and martial arts immediately attracted the admiration of countless onlookers.

After all, although the appearance of the bell and drum tower is very ordinary, but the height of each floor is several zhang, seven floors are superimposed together, several large more than 40 zhang high, such a climb, the danger is not small, even if some people have already seen similar scenes, there will still be awe when they see it again.

However, Shi Feizhou and Du Shengchun were obviously used to this kind of thing for a long time, and they went to the top of the building in just over ten breaths, stepped on the inclined tiles, and came to the side of the bell and drum.

The bells and drums of the Bell and Drum Tower are fixed to the roof of the building with wooden frames, so there is no risk of falling down.

From below, they look like two small things.

But if you compare it with Shi and Du, who are already standing next to them, you will feel that they are huge.

At this moment, Shi Feizhou and Du Shengchun each let out a long roar, their sleeves fluttered and changed, and their strong soul power was released, outlining a series of strange runes in the air, constructing two sets of patterns with different breaths, and finally waving their sleeves in unison and hitting them at the bell and drum.

Boom!

The two sounds came out, melodious and long, cleansing people's hearts, but only soul cultivators could hear them clearly, and ordinary people could only feel the confusion of their thoughts, and then they would be clear.

At the same time, with the heavy sound of two "crunks", the two closed doors on the first floor of the Bell and Drum Tower slowly opened, and the whole building bloomed with a brilliant glow, especially the most dazzling and bright at the door opening.

"Fellow soul cultivators, please go upstairs!"

Shi Feizhou shouted, marking the official start of the Bell and Drum Tower Conference.

Whoosh!

The soul cultivators in the field were also good at martial arts, and they all showed their bodies in an instant, jumped into the door of the building, and disappeared into the glow in the blink of an eye.

"Junko, let's go together!"

Su Qin also greeted, but when he took a step, he just made a very ordinary running action, and did not use the body technique of the Nine Transformations of the True Bird, but he avoided exposing his strength early.

The reason why he is so cautious, but Yu Lu reminded that this bell and drum tower conference is not as simple as it seems, everyone can still be safe when they do not enter the building, once they enter, there may be many fights, after all, the city lord's mansion is not unlimited, if too many people can climb the fifth or even sixth floor, contradictions are inevitable.

Boom!

The moment he rushed through the door, Su Qin heard the sound of bells and drums ringing again, and then he felt that the mobilization of his soul power had become much easier, as if a lot of dirt had been washed away.

"It turns out that there is really this effect, and the bell and drum tower is really magical. ”

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, that soul-cleansing effect is not so powerful under the fine taste, mostly because it is only the first layer here.

Looking around, many people stopped after breaking into the building, and a look of struggle appeared on their faces, as if they felt an irresistible pressure.

Only fewer people were able to make it straight to the center of the building, where there was a staircase leading to the second floor.

"These people, it is estimated that they only have the soul apprentice period, so they dare to come here to receive the baptism of bells and drums, and it is strange that they are not hard. But if you can really resist the pressure, the benefits are not small. Su Qin speculated for a while.

When Wang Dashun came in, he wanted to go to the second floor with the others, but when he saw Su Qin stop, he also stopped, and looked around curiously, looking at the relaxed expression, obviously having more than enough power.

"Junko, I'll leave when I see it. ”

Su Qin beckoned and rushed to the second floor first.

......

Outside the Bell and Drum Tower, a place most suitable for watching the conference, her figure and appearance were like the afterglow of a man, and she was talking to a middle-aged man who was much thicker than her, surrounded by a large number of chamber of commerce guards.

"Dad, what floor did you say Su Qin could go up to today?" Yu Lu asked.

Listening to the title, it turned out that the middle-aged man was her biological father, the helmsman of the Liucheng Branch of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, Yu Yanming.

Hearing his daughter's words, a loving look flashed in Yu Yanming's eyes, and he said in a slightly hoarse but magnetic voice: "Lu'er, according to his father's opinion, he can at least ascend to the fourth layer, and even challenge the fifth layer to get the opportunity to be recruited by the Song City Lord." ”

"To be able to challenge the fifth layer, then we can't do it with the money we ask. Yu Lu's expression was slightly disappointed.

Yu Yanming smiled and said, "What? Could it be that because his martial arts cultivation is not weak, and he can also jump to fight, so you also have extremely high expectations for his soul cultivation, hoping that he can go all the way to the sixth layer? Dad told you that he is young, he looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old at most, but he can achieve such an achievement in both martial arts and soul cultivation, which is already very rare." Don't let Xia Qianping have such big expectations of him just because Xia Qianping admires him too much. ”

"Oh, I see. Yu Lu nodded, and then changed the conversation, "But Dad, I never thought that the person who was shouting at me that day was you." Another person who stepped in was a friend who was instructed by you. What do you mean by that?"

Yu Yanming touched the top of Yu Lu's head and said, "Child, you have been working in the auction house with your father for so many years, don't you understand this reason? Because of your interference, the guide zhì Xinyue grass was sold at a low price, so what should the seller think? Moreover, I raised the price twice, and I also asked Su Qin's kid to accept more favors from you, and even my friend's shouting was also the same meaning. ”

"No wonder," with Yu Lu's straight temperament, he actually seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he still nodded seriously, and continued to ask, "Then why did you directly take a picture of Xinyue Grass and give it to Su Qin in the end, and you didn't let him know what it was, wouldn't it be a favor for nothing?"

"Haha, kid, you are wrong, I don't take the initiative to say it, and I don't even let you say it, but it doesn't mean that Su Qin really will never be able to guess the truth of the matter. That kid is very smart, and there will always be a time to figure it out in the future. I admit that his cultivation talent is indeed very strong, and his achievements in the future are limitless, so we might as well quietly send out more favors one by one as soon as possible, and when he wakes up in the future, he will inevitably return it at one time, and the benefits will be too great. ”

Yu Yanming's shrewdness unique to a businessman turned out to be very different from his rough appearance.

Yu Lu was still a little foggy, bowed his head and pondered for a long time, but fortunately gave up thinking, focused his eyes on the bell and drum tower, and carefully observed the small human-shaped light spots revealed in the glow emitted by the building.

And that spot of light just represents the soul cultivators who dare to rush into the building.
