Tian Jihong had heard that the mercenary union was an organization that spanned the entire continent. Different from ordinary sects, there is no leader in the mercenary union, and there is no fixed property and territory; It is not even a cult force, its purpose is more to make a profit for many participants than to promote practice. This organization was originally established by the spontaneous association of practitioners from many sects in various places. Therefore, the mainland acquiesces that listing in the mercenary union will not affect its entry into other sects. The main business in the guild is the issuance and reception of many mercenary missions, as well as... It is possible to directly spend a lot of money to hire thugs or guards to serve you for a short period of time, but in general, the cost of this kind of business is astronomical.

"If I can't find a suitable sect in the future, maybe I can consider joining this mercenary guild first to take on tasks to make a living. I heard that the bounty after completing the mission here is much higher than taking the loot directly to the market to trade. Tian Jihong thought in his heart.

Gradually, Tian Jihong continued to move forward, and at the same time kept an eye on the many buildings along the road. He gradually discovered that, unlike the variety of new gadgets in the downtown area, the shops for monks in West Street were generally neatly maintained, and there were few stalls selling multiple goods at the same time. Weapons and armor, treasures, formations, fighting soul refining, elixir... All kinds of goods demanded by this practitioner have their own stores to operate; Such a clear distinction naturally facilitates the monks who come to choose, but the reason for this is somewhat intriguing.

What Tianjihong doesn't know is that the shops that are so neatly maintained on the surface today are secretly supported by various forces behind them. The business of the mortals outside may not be easy to say, but in this West Street, all the forces that are qualified to meddle in the trade of monks are all the same as the mercenary union, which can be called a strong party in Dongsheng Town and even in the martial arts world. Even if some of the methods of cheating and abduction in these shops are not prohibited on weekdays, if one side starts to meddle in the business of other forces, then the conflict between the two sides will not be so simple.

As the drunk man in the tavern said before, along the way, Tianjihong also encountered all kinds of martial arts halls. In its courtyard, most of the people who practice martial arts can be seen in neat rows, sweating and practicing, and some people are shouting slogans loudly. If it weren't for the reminder of the drunk man before, the uniform movements, the appearance of hard cultivation, and the leading martial artist on the side showing a powerful trick from time to time, I am afraid that he would really be able to bluff Tianjihong, who has never seen the world, and maybe he would have been deceived into joining it. Even after observing Tian Jihong's interest in the martial arts hall, during this period, two martial artists went directly to the street and started enthusiastic sales, and they almost forcibly pulled him in.

After struggling to get rid of the two of them, looking at the backs of the two of them cursing and leaving in a low voice, Tian Jihong was sure at this moment that what the person in the tavern said was true, most of the martial arts halls in the periphery were trying to cheat money to make such an attractive illusion, if you join it, I am afraid that you will not be able to learn any useful skills. So he no longer hesitated, and walked straight towards the two martial arts halls at the end of the road not far away.

At this time, recalling the drunken man's words, Tian Jihong understood why the guy said that these two martial arts halls were easy to find. This is not because of the obvious ornamentation of the exterior, but because at the end of the road is a wide square, on which is laid a large stone platform, and the walls surrounded by three sides are stamped with various mottled marks, which look like they have been left by different weapons. Obviously, this is the martial arts ring mentioned by the drunk, and there will be a few people on the stage in a short time, and the flashing swords and swords and shadows from time to time make the blood of a mortal like Tian Jihong boil and can't help but applaud secretly; This was also the first time in his life that he saw a real monk make a move, and his calm posture and dazzling moves made him yearn for cultivation even more; Most of the bustling crowd in the audience are also staring at the people on the stage with great interest, in addition to cheers and cheers, there will be people on the stage from time to time to comment on the moves of the people on the stage.

On both sides of the square, the two buildings closest to the central arena are the two martial arts halls that Tianjihong has been looking for for a long time. With the only silver taels in the package, Tian Jihong walked to the Hongwu Martial Arts Hall on the left hand side with some nervousness.

It was different from what I had seen in other martial arts halls before, in the huge courtyard of the Hongwu Martial Arts Pavilion, I only saw four or five scattered people muttering mantras in their mouths, while laboriously evolving their own moves; And if you look closely at the faces and costumes of several people, you can see that none of them are disciples in the martial arts hall, and most of them are like the drunks before, who just came here to buy or learn one or two martial arts.

Where is Tianjihong clear, Hongwu Martial Arts Hall, as a well-known orthodox cultivation place in Dongsheng Town, has a high threshold for accepting apprentices, but this also ensures that the people who join are all talented and intelligent, and most of them are members of some big families or outer disciples under some sects who come here to practice. Therefore, the Hongwu Martial Arts Hall is naturally unwilling to waste such good talents and good quality, and it can be said that it is not stingy in terms of the cultivation conditions given to the disciples, in addition to the famous teachers in the hall to teach and solve doubts, the cultivation of the venue facilities, the spiritual objects required for cultivation, and even all kinds of martial arts, etc., are obtained in a special way. Under such careful cultivation, the efficiency of his disciples' cultivation is naturally far greater than that of those who can only rely on the purchased cheats outside the martial arts hall just now.

Slowly entering the gate of the martial arts hall, Tian Jihong took off his masked hat and cloak of cloak. This is also a helpless move, and the martial arts hall will naturally verify the identity and age of the joiner in advance; If you are still so secretive at this time, it will only arouse the suspicion of the other party in the end. The internal space of the martial arts hall is not too large, and the hall is also empty and there are no people in sight, and most of the people in it are distributed on other floors. Tian Jihong took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the steward's costume in the distance, and walked straight towards him.

"Hmm, welcome to the Hongwu Martial Arts Hall, what's... Forehead? The middle-aged man, who was originally absent-minded, finally fell his gaze on Tianjihong's immature face, and such a young little guy came alone to make him surprised, "Young man, do you have something to do with the Hongwu Martial Arts Pavilion?" ”

Although judging from the clothes, the child in front of him does not seem to come from a rich family; There is no aura that a cultivator should have, nor does he look like a disciple of any sect; But as a steward who has been in the martial arts hall for more than ten years, he is still clear about the reason why he must not look like a person before he finds out the origin of the other party.

In the past, there were many sects that would send their outstanding disciples to train alone in the martial arts world; These people are often not very old but have high cultivation talents, if a person accidentally neglects such a customer, the loss of good talent is still a trivial matter, if it involves offending the sect behind it, it is really impossible to eat and walk away. Although the young man in front of him was dressed plainly and had no spiritual power fluctuations, he did not rule out the possibility that his sect would give spiritual objects to cover his breath, and it was better for him to be cautious without knowing the identity of the other party.

"Hello, I heard that your pavilion has a reputation for accepting disciples and talented people, and I found it here through a friend's recommendation. Tian Jihong is not an ordinary child, he and his younger brother are alone outside on weekdays, and they are indispensable to deal with strangers, and their language control is also quite proficient, and they are complimented on this steward, "I admire your pavilion very much, and I came here today to inquire, if you want to join your pavilion for cultivation, what are the conditions?" ”

The steward has been engaged in hospitality for so many years, so he naturally does not believe in this set of flattery. But as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, whoever withstands such praise will never think about embarrassing the other party again. At this moment, his expression also slowed down a lot, and his tone was a little more polite: "Oh? Your Excellency wants to join me in the Hongwu Martial Arts Pavilion, which is naturally very welcome. However, as you said, my Hongwu Martial Arts Pavilion can be regarded as a holy place for cultivation in this Dongsheng Town, and many cultivators in the town are eager to join our Pavilion, so if you want to practice here, you do have some requirements. But young people, you can rest assured, as long as you meet the conditions, you will be given a brief introduction to the registration process, and if it goes well, you can join today. First of all, I haven't asked your Excellency for what is your name...? ”

"Well, my last name is ...... Mo, a single name is a Hongzi. "Tian Jihong remembers his father's entrustment, so naturally he will not say his real name. At this moment, the figure of Uncle Sheng happened to appear in his mind, so he casually made up a surname.

"Oh? Mo Hong: Isn't it? Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, young man, are you a child of the Mo Mansion in the north of the city? The steward seemed to ask casually, but in fact, he was naturally inquiring about the origin of Tianjihong.

"Sorry, not really." Tianjihong hadn't even heard of the Mo family, and he didn't dare to pretend indiscriminately. "In Xiayuan, I lived in Dongyun City, and now I travel around here."

"That's right," the smile on the steward's face faded a little, and he seemed to have sensed that the kid across from him was talking nonsense, and I am afraid that his real name was also made up, "And then the age, how old are you?" ”

"Twelve."

The steward couldn't help but be a little surprised, looking at his appearance, this sentence was obviously not a lie. Because he gave Tianjihong the position of a disciple of the sect who had been trained outside at the beginning, at this time, he still thought that Tianjihong's cultivation was extraordinary, and he relied on some spiritual treasures handed down by the sect to cover up the fluctuations of spiritual power. Now I hear that Tian Jihong is only twelve years old; If what you think is true, and you are arranged by the sect to wander alone at this age, it must be the true inheritance of its disciples, and its status is quite high. It's just that I don't know if this kid is really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or just playing tricks.
