"Hiccup, you ask me? I'm a native of Dongsheng, but I wasn't born here, I came here with the adventure team more than ten years ago. The drunken man explained in a trance, "Our team saw that the atmosphere here was very good, and it was a blessed place to make a fortune, so we decided to stay here for a long time. On weekdays, we hunt spirit beasts in the misty forest to the west, and then take them back to the town to sell the magic cores. Speaking of which, little brother, are you interested in joining? You see, brother, I've made a lot of money over the years by relying on this skill! ”

"Uh... Thank you brother for the invitation, but I still have other things to do, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to participate in this hunting of spirit beasts. "Tian Jihong is not interested in these messy things at the moment, he hasn't even started his cultivation, wouldn't it be a death to rush in! However, listening to that person's words, he deduced that the big man in front of him must be a monk, and it was only by looking at them that they dared to go into the mountains to hunt for soul cores in such groups, and their strength was obviously not very good. Of course, this is not what Tian Jihong cares about, since this person knows how to practice and lives here for a long time, he must know a lot about the situation in the town, and it seems that he is lucky to ask the right person.

"That's a pity, you don't know how profitable this magic core business is! Last month alone, a few of us got two five-grade demon cores at the foot of Wusheng Mountain, and when we returned to the town, we earned thousands of copper coins as soon as we sold them. It's a pity that the depths of the misty forest are really dangerous, and I really don't dare to run away without any real skills. In order to catch those two brutes, our group lost two brothers along the way, alas! The drunk man also opened the conversation folder and began to talk to Tianji Hongdong on the side.

"I see that your little brother has thin arms and legs, brother, I will give you a word of advice, walking in this martial arts world requires capital, if you don't have any background, you have to speak with your own strength. I advise you to practice hard, little brother, maybe you can surpass me one day, hahaha! ”

"My brother said that the lesson is yes, and I have been taught, little brother. By the way, speaking of cultivation, I just wanted to ask my brother. Seeing that the opportunity had come, Tianjihong hurriedly echoed and asked, "Brother, you are familiar with this town, brother, I also feel that my strength is insufficient and I want to continue to improve my cultivation, and I am planning to find a suitable martial arts hall in the town to join, I don't know if my brother has any recommendations?" ”

"Haha, you're asking the right person." Dahan obviously talked about it, and continued to talk eloquently, "You little brother has some ideas, who doesn't look forward to going to the martial arts hall to worship a good master and learn his one-and-a-half-tricks." There are many martial arts halls in Dongsheng Town, most of which are concentrated on West Street. If you look over there, you'll find that most of the people wandering around West Street are guys who know a little bit of cultivation; In addition to the martial arts hall, the promulgation of equipment shops, mercenary offices, auction halls, and other various entrusted tasks is also on West Street, so it is the area with the largest concentration of monks. ”

"There are more than a dozen martial arts halls on West Street, and the martial arts taught are also varied. But presumably little brother, you also know that this Dongsheng town is not so simple; Among those martial arts halls, most of them are actually swaggering and cheating outsiders for money. Dahan reminded, "It's not that the martial artists in the hall don't have housekeeping skills, it's just that they all like to show off their skills on the street under the banner of preaching and receiving industry, and win the attention of passers-by; After earning those stunned registration fees, they will not really teach you their tricks, but will cheat many other fees after joining them, and they will not give up if they don't cheat you into bankruptcy. ”

"Listening to the advice of the eldest brother, if you really want to improve your strength, the best way is to cultivate with peace of mind, and it is the most reliable to prepare more heaven and earth spiritual objects to improve your cultivation. If you really want to learn some moves, then try your luck at the two martial arts halls [Hongwu] and [Qingfeng] on the innermost side of West Street. Those two martial arts halls are easy to find, one left and one right are next to the martial arts ring, and most of the martial arts taught under them are orthodox moves that are widely spread in the mainland, unlike other deceitful guys who boast of their invincibility and only teach you some useless side ways. ”

"However, the entry threshold for these two martial arts halls is quite not low. If you don't have a deep background, such as some disciples of the sect or members of famous families, you have to spend a lot of silver taels if you want to worship it. The drunk man seemed to recall the past, and couldn't help but pout and look a little dissatisfied. At the beginning, in order to learn the [Swinging Martial Spear] taught by the Hongwu Martial Arts Hall, it took nearly half a year of income for people to teach me, and it was enough for me to go to the auction house to buy a book of exercise cheats. And in this way, they are not even his apprentices, and if you want to really apprentice to join the martial arts hall, the cost will be even higher. ”

Tian Jihong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, although the big man in front of him didn't say anything about the expenses in the meantime, but seeing that this guy is an old oilman who has been in the town for many years, he obviously doesn't look like a humble person, and his income for half a year will definitely not be too low. For example, today, in addition to helping out in the village on weekdays, the people in the village will give him a little remuneration for his face, and he still relies more on the money left by his mother to survive. Although Tian Jihong guessed that there should be some money left in the sachet left by his father, he didn't even cultivate his spiritual power, so he couldn't open this thing at all, so he could only stare dryly. Before setting off today, I had made full preparations, and I basically brought out the few silver taels left at home; But now that I hear the person in front of me say this, this amount of money is only a fraction of the cost of apprenticeship.

Now that he had found the information he needed, Tian Jihong didn't linger too long; After a few polite words with the drunken man beside him, he threw two copper coins at the bartender and got up and left the tavern. Of course, now in a place like Dongsheng Town, Tian Jihong naturally wouldn't believe a stranger's words so easily. Cautious by nature, he asked two locals in the same way along the street, and after getting the same answers, Tian Jihong made up his mind. Since the statements of several people are similar, then they have to see it with their own eyes on the West Street side anyway. In addition to opening a martial arts hall, if you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, you will inevitably deal with many merchant bosses here.

Through the crowded crowd, Tianjihong was also an eye-opener along the way. Although the first few times they followed Uncle Lin to Dongsheng Town, they also saw a lot of strange things, but it was the first time that they had the opportunity to visit the town from beginning to end like today, and the many places and strange scenery around the city really shocked the young Tianjihong: the Dongsheng Inn with people coming and going, the luxurious restaurant full of seats, the famous family in the high-rise compound, the heavily guarded recruitment office, and the shops selling strange goods... There are even Fengyue places that can't be seen in other towns, and they can be found in this Dongsheng Town.

On the endless flow of streets, there is an endless stream of shouts between the stalls; Caravans, large and small, drove their horses, and from time to time stopped by the shops on the side of the street and began to bargain with their bosses; Sometimes you can see street artists performing all kinds of unique skills, attracting onlookers to applaud one by one; What's more, some mercenary teams who don't want to be drawn commissions by intermediaries directly sit on the side of the street and start shouting to take on various tasks; In this uncontrolled town, it is clear that no one will bother with them.

Tianjihong, who was shy in his pocket, easily suppressed the curiosity surging in his heart and accelerated the pace of progress. As the central street slowly stretched to the end, the street finally cleared up, and the flow of people along the way also decreased a lot. When Tianjihong stepped into West Street, there were no caravans and small stalls in the middle of the wide street, and only a dozen figures stopped by the shops along the street. Recalling the words of the man in the tavern, Tian Jihong found that the pedestrians here gave people a strange feeling, and their spirits were a little different from the people who came and went in the central street before, and there was a little aura around them, which was the difference between monks and mortals.

Those who have learned the method of cultivation can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth with the help of the exercises, absorb and refine it for their own use, so as to give birth to a stream of spiritual power in the dantian, and then gradually spread to the whole body through the meridians under the operation of the exercises. The birth of spiritual power is the primary indicator to distinguish ordinary people from monks, whether it is used for cultivation, fighting, body protection, or resisting diseases and abnormalities, monks with spiritual power can crush others who have not cultivated spiritual power in all aspects. Although the spiritual power that has just been cultivated cannot fundamentally change one's physique, the cultivators who have the spiritual power to bless their bodies are basically not afraid of the swords and guns of the mortal world; Moreover, with the continuous operation of the spiritual power in the body, the practitioner can always maintain a state of high spirits. As long as one's spiritual power is not exhausted, even if the time for sleep and rest is reduced, there will basically be no fatigue and overdraft, so although the spiritual power cannot be used to change one's appearance, the face of the practitioner often gives people a strange feeling of being full of energy.

Seeing the monks running rampant all over the place, Tian Jihong knew that he had found the right place, so he didn't stop and walked quickly towards the end of the street. However, he didn't take a few steps before an imposing quaint building caught his eye.

"Mercenary Guild - what a big deal!" Tian Jihong's gaze fell on the plaque on the door, compared to the narrow shops around it, the power that is qualified to occupy such a huge area on this street does have a lot of origin.
