Chapter 13: Leaving the City of Fire
The "Basic Gathering Spirit Method" in Guo Xun's hand is actually an auxiliary exercise for ordinary people to strengthen their bodies.
It is also a good cheats book in traditional martial arts, but it is a bit out of stream when placed in the cultivation of the immortal family.
The "Basic Gathering Spirit Method" is actually just a simple aura quenching exercise, which is an auxiliary exercise that even the dantian does not need.
Guo Xun relied on such low-level exercises to cultivate to the ninth layer of skin and flesh refining.
If you change to an ordinary person, this is impossible, and now this exercise is no longer helpful to Guo Xun.
Guo Xun has already absorbed the waste pills in the eleven burning pill pools.
The spiritual power of these waste pills is massive, and if you change to ordinary people, you don't know how many times you have exploded.
But Guo Xun now found that no matter how he absorbed these waste pills, he felt that his realm could not be improved by a single point.
I only know that all the spiritual power of these waste pills has entered the dantian, and then there is no more.
At this time, he began to realize that this might be the reason for the "Basic Spirit Gathering Method".
Just when he didn't know how to improve, he got good news from the mouths of the handymen.
Two months later, the Fire Sword Sect wanted to recruit disciples.
Although Guo Xun escaped from the Fire Sword Sect, after all, he was a miscellaneous servant who had no access to real cultivation at all, and no one knew him, so he decided to give it a try.
There are two main ways for the Fire Sword Sect to recruit disciples.
The first is to go out to recruit disciples from the Jindan monks in the Fire Sword Sect, which is inefficient but accurate and effective.
The second is to set up a unified assessment for the Fire Sword Sect, and recruit disciples who are specially used to recruit from the outside world according to the assessment results.
This time, the Fire Sword Sect's recruitment of disciples is the second type, and the quality of recruiting disciples like this is actually not high.
And there are not many people who come, there can be two or three thousand people.
This is not to say that it is not possible to leave the Fire Sword Sect, and the main reason is that the distance is too far, so such an assessment is basically only held once every five years.
Every time the Lihuo Sword Sect recruits disciples, the assessment location is in Lihuo City, the county seat of Lihuo County.
After Guo Xun learned the news, he began to calculate whether he could reach Lihuo City in two months.
Although they are all in Lihuo County, they are also separated by several mountains, so they have to start early.
Guo Xun can't fly with a sword, and relying on his legs is indeed quite a challenge.
Although Guo Xun didn't know where he was now, he knew that Musashi Pavilion was open to miscellaneous servants, and there was a map of Lihuo County's territory inside.
After Guo Xun got the map, he left the mountain peak overnight and rushed in the direction of the fire city.
Time flies by in a hurry.
On the way, Guo Xun did not have any delay except for eating and sleeping, and even so, it took him a month and a half to reach the foot of Lihuo City.
This is the first time Guo Xun has come to a city of this level, and he has only been to a few towns since he was a child.
It was the first time in the county seat, and he thought that those towns were already big cities.
It was ten feet high from the walls of the Fire City, and the two sides stretched outward to form a huge square.
There are attics on the top of the city wall, and on the top of each attic is a flag with the word Tang Huang written on it.
Rows of soldiers stood majestically on the tower with spears in hand.
Guo Xun couldn't help but boil his blood when he looked at Lihuo City.
The world is too big, there are so many things he doesn't know and don't know, all of which are waiting for him to explore and discover one by one.
Guo Xun walked on the road to the city gate, and the pedestrians, convoys, and caravans coming and going all reflected its prosperity.
There is a huge fire-red plaque above the city gate, and the plaque reads a few big characters from the fire city, which is magnificent.
Guo Xun looked a little stunned, and suddenly an impatient voice came from behind him.
"You can't go! Don't get in the way! ”
Guo Xun looked back and found a huge carriage with four white horses parked behind him.
In front of this carriage sat a coachman, and it was this coachman who shouted to Guo Xun just now.
Guo Xun scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry! I'm going into town. ”
The coachman said disdainfully:
"Why don't you go into the city quickly, don't you see the queue behind you? What a daze! What a hillbilly. ”
Guo Xun smirked and quickly followed the team in front of him, and successfully passed the inspection and stepped into the city gate.
Guo Xun came to the long city wall tunnel, and he slowly walked into the city of fire.
Guo Xun was stunned again.
The street where he was now running through the entire north and south gates of the Fire City, straight and endless.
The streets are bustling with people, and there are countless buildings on both sides, shops, attics, houses, and courtyards.
"It's finally here, it's spectacular!"
Guo Xun's clothes were a little shabby, and the pedestrians on the street cast strange glances.
Guo Xun didn't care about the gaze of pedestrians, because now he is facing two problems.
First, where is the assessment location? Second, there are still a few days before the assessment, how to solve his food and accommodation?
Guo Xun's tattered costume caused him to ask around on the street about the assessment location of the Fire Sword Sect, and no one paid attention to him there.
It made him very depressed, and now that he was penniless, it was a problem to even eat, let alone change his clothes.
He walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the bustling city away from the fire, he had a feeling of being in a different world.
He was standing on this bustling street, only to find that he didn't belong here.
The confusion and hesitation in his heart made him begin to wonder if he could really become a powerful person.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of them, and two people, a man and a woman, suddenly rushed out of the crowd.
The two men ran quickly, and behind them there was a group of people who kept chasing, and the chasing people were still shouting:
"You two stop me, I want to let none of you Lan family think about participating in the assessment."
At this time, several more men suddenly appeared in front of the two people who had fled, and they stopped them.
Pedestrians on the street are talking, "The family is too much!" I was going to beat someone on the street. ”
"I heard that this time the disciples of the Fire Sword Sect are bound to succeed in the assessment of the Qi family, but I didn't expect to drive away the other families in private."
"The Qi family has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and now it is already covering the sky with one hand in Lihuo City, and now the Lan family is in danger."
"Shhhh Be quiet! Do you want to die? ”
The man who was being chased roared angrily:
"Qi Mo, don't deceive people too much, if you really work hard, our Lan family is not afraid of you."
"Humph! I still don't care about the little Lan family, if it weren't for the three elders saying that your Lan family's Blue Moon has some cultivation talent, I wouldn't bother to care about you, if you want to blame it, you don't hide it well. ”
The man named Qi Mo said in an arrogant tone.
"You give it to me, greet these two people well, remember not to make trouble, I just need them to be unable to participate in the assessment."
Qi Mo said to his subordinates.
The Tong family is one of the four major families in Lihuo City, and its chamber of commerce real estate is huge.
There is a tendency for one family to dominate in Lihuo City, and the head of the Qi family has a mid-stage Jindan ancestor, which is why they are so rampant.
The most taboo thing for a Xiuzhen family like this is that talented disciples from other families grow up, so it is even more incumbent on Qi Mo, who is the third son of the Tong family.
The Lan family was not the first target of his attack, and certainly not the last.
