The origin of the ranks
"Congratulations to the three heroes on their triumphant return!" a voice came from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shi Wunian and the three of them looked up, only to see a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old walking quickly down the steps in front of the mansion, he hugged his fists at the three of them with a smile and said: "In Xiatianfang, temporarily occupy the position of the city lord of this mountain shade city, and ask the three of you to follow me to the mansion to talk!"
The three of them hugged their fists in return, and Cheng Dachun said: "I don't want the city lord to come in person, I've seen the city lord Tian!"
Tian Fang said: "Don't be so polite, come into the house with me, and you will have a drink with the three of you today!"
In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, after Tian Fang took Shi Wunian and the three of them to sit down, the maid and maid in the house served the wine and food, and Tian Fang drank three glasses in a row and said: "Thank you three very much this time, but there is a reluctant invitation below, I hope the three of you will consider it." ”
Cheng Dachun said: "City Lord, please speak, I'll listen to you!"
Tian Fang said: "Although my Mountain Shade City is called a city, it is not as prosperous as the next prosperous ancient town of my Western Chu Dynasty, it is really embarrassing!" He sighed and continued: "So I want to invite the three of you to join my Mountain Shade City and help me rise in the Mountain Shade City, as for the reward, as long as I can afford it, the three of them can make an offer at will." ”
Cheng Dachun looked at Shi Wunian and Fuqi and said, "What do you mean?"
Fu Qi smiled: "I'm used to wandering around, and I can't stay in Mountain Shade City for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the city lord." ”
Shi Wunian said: "I also plan to travel around the Seven Star Continent this time, I'm afraid I can't stay in Mountain Shade City, and I hope the city lord will forgive me!"
Cheng Dachun said: "I also have this intention in the next, it seems that I can only live up to the kindness of the city lord." ”
Tian Fang was slightly disappointed and said: "Alas~ Since everyone is determined to be in the Quartet, it will no longer be difficult to be strong in the next place, but if you come here, you must come to the lower mansion as a guest!"
The three nodded in agreement, and Cheng Dachun hugged his fists and said, "Definitely, definitely!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, they are all respected and inferior by strength, Tian Fang, as the lord of a city, and there is also a foundation building realm cultivation, there is no need to be "below" in front of the three condensation realms Claiming to be true, it's just that the three of them can defeat and kill the demon beasts of the foundation realm, Tian Fang knows that the three of them must not be mediocre hands, with his cultivation as the vision, he can probably judge that Cheng Dachun and Fuqi are both in the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he can't judge whether it is the seventh or the eighth in the later stage, but he is sure that the two of them have not reached the ninefold condensation consummation realm, as for the combat power, just look at the snake skin on the table. As for that young man, his aura was no worse than those two, and he should also be a master in the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Compared with his own hard work to build the foundation realm, the three of them can be said to be talented, and they are naturally worthy of Tian Fang's wooing, even if they surrender their identities.
Until dawn, everyone was already happy, and the city lord Tian Fang personally went to get a book of exercises and a stack of silver tickets with a face value of 30,000 taels of silver, saying that the extra 20,000 taels was a little of his own mind, and he was considered to be making friends with the three heroes. Looking at the sincere eyes of the city lord, the three of them knew that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so they smiled happily and accepted the city lord's hospitality before leaving.
The road in front of the city lord's mansion was empty, and the three of them walked slowly in the morning light, Cheng Dachun laughed and said, "Two, let's divide the spoils here, okay?"
Fuqi nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't have much interest in money, so I'll give my share to Brother Wunian!"
Cheng Dachun said: "I also have this intention, to be honest, only the three of us can barely be regarded as handsome with the Wunian brothers! I believe that in the future, Brother Wunian will inevitably leave a well-known name in the rivers and lakes, so I will also give a share to Brother Wunian, so as not to prevent the brother from sleeping in the wilderness due to financial constraints when he meets the heroine of the rivers and lakes in the future. ”
Fu Qi smiled and asked, "What is the name that Brother Da Chun is talking about, is it famous or famous?"
Cheng Dachun said seriously: "Of course there are both, Brother Wunian has such a cultivation at such an age, in the future, the three words of poetry Wunian will definitely be able to resound throughout the Seven Star Continent, will there be less fairies accompanying the left and right at that time?"
Shi Wunian said: "Don't make fun of me, I believe that with the ability of the two of you, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, so it should be the two of you who should be careful." ”
Cheng Dachun laughed and said: "As the saying goes, the sedan chair carries people, so let's not blow and throw each other, otherwise it doesn't matter if I, a layman, become more cheesy, if you two are also cheesy, it won't be beautiful." ”
"If you shave your beard, even if it's unbearable," said Fudzi, "I can make you cross the lilies among the flowers." ”
Cheng Dachun said angrily: "Even if you cut off my head, you don't want me to shave off the glory that belongs to a man." ”
Fu Qi said: "Then let's make a bet, I bet that the Wunian Brothers will simply accept 30,000 taels of silver, if I win the bet, you will shave off your beard, and you will not be allowed to continue in the future." ”
Cheng Dachun looked at Shi Wunian, and Fuqi hurriedly said: "Don't test Brother Wunian's tone, if you want to bet, you will immediately nod and agree! If I lose, you want me to do anything." ”
Cheng Dachun said angrily: "If you lose, I want you not to shave for fifty years, and don't touch women for fifty years, are you willing?"
Fu Qi looked at Shi Wunian with some hesitation, and Cheng Dachun hurriedly stopped: "Brother Fu, don't break the rules you set." ”
Fuqi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay! Even if I have a big beard, it's better than a big beard dangling in front of my eyes, I agreed!" He looked at Shi Wunian and said, "Brother Wunian, are you willing to accept 30,000 taels of silver?"
Cheng Dachun agreed: "Yes, if you have something to say, you are a good brother." ”
Shi Wunian said guiltily: "Although I don't know the specific value of the one-level exercises, I think it shouldn't be comparable to 30,000 taels of silver, so I think that if the two of you are willing, I will only take the silver, and the exercises will be distributed by the two of you." ”
Fu Qi laughed and said: "Hahahaha! I am really Hong Fu Qitian, and when I report my name in the future, I must add the four characters of Hong Fu Qitian." ”
Cheng Dachun looked at the guilty poem Wunian and said: "Don't be guilty, there will be no mistake in following your heart." After speaking, he took out a big knife and shot like the wind, and in a moment a young man with a resolute face appeared in front of Shi and Fu.
Fuqi looked at Cheng Dachun, who had shaved off his beard for a long time, and he lamented: "Alas!
Shi Wunian was puzzled and asked, "Didn't Brother Fu win?" Why are you sighing?"
Fu Qi patted Shi Wunian on the shoulder and said seriously: "Brother Wunian, you are still too young, so you don't know the benefits of this face in front of you!" He pointed at Cheng Dachun and continued: "Just this face, the most attractive to mature women, he will be an obstacle to my brother and me in the future, do you think I am lifting a stone and hitting my own feet?"
Cheng Dachun said: "Brother Wunian, don't listen to his nonsense, let me tell you the value of a one-level exercise!"
Shi Wunian said: "I want to hear it in detail, thank you Brother Dachun!"
Cheng Dachun said: "The exercises are divided into mortal, human, yellow, xuan, earth, and earth from bottom to top. Heaven, as well as the god-level exercises, the mortal-level exercises can't be counted as immortal cultivation exercises strictly speaking, because there is only one copy of the Fanjie exercises, which is improved from the martial arts cheats created by a Jianghu person, and the Jianghu people can only fight with the monks who are in the condensed qi realm at their peak and do not fall behind, after his death, there was an immortal cultivator who changed his secret book slightly, and replaced the true qi of mortal cultivation in the secret book with the aura of monk cultivation, and there was no mortal level one before that. Since that exercise was created by mortals, the immortal cultivator called it a mortal-level exercise and made it public, so that people from the Seven Star Continent could practice as long as they had a spiritual root. And most of the people like me who are not favored by the sect are practicing this exercise, and the name of that exercise is "Seven Star Condensing Qi Longevity Formula", which can be bought in slightly larger bookstores. It's just that this exercise can break through the Qi Condensation Realm at most, so in the eyes of the orthodox Immortal Cultivation Sect, that mortal-level exercise is a joke. Cheng Dachun breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Above the mortal level is the human level, and this level can be cultivated to the Jindan realm, and the Jindan realm is also called the 'human master', which is the origin of the name of the human level. And a Jindan Realm cultivator, even if it is on the territory of a dynasty, will not exceed the number of hundreds, so how much do you think a one-rank martial arts is worth?"
Shi Wunian asked tentatively, "Ten thousand taels of gold?"
Cheng Dachun laughed and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold should be able to invite a Jindan monk with ordinary combat power to make a move!" However, the common currency in the immortal cultivation world is a spirit stone, and a spirit stone the size of an egg is worth a hundred taels of gold. Ten thousand taels of gold are only a hundred spirit stones, and if you insist on exchanging a one-level exercise for gold and silver, it will take a lot of money. ”
Shi Wunian was stunned, he didn't expect that a one-level exercise method would be so valuable!
Cheng Dachun was speechless when he saw the poem, and said with a smile: "So it's too late for you to regret it now, we have already said that we will give you the silver, so as long as you want to see it, you don't have to pay any price at all." ”
Shi Wunian said firmly: "The eldest husband does what he says, so please let the two of you take care of yourself." ”
Cheng Dachun and Fuqi glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing!
Cheng Dachun continued to speak: "The most taboo state of mind in cultivation, then I won't say more!" He handed all the silver tickets to Shi Wunian and said: "The silver tickets in this country can only be used within the territory of the country, if you want to go out of the territory of Western Chu, remember to exchange it for cash before leaving, or find the 'Xianfan Gate' that is common to immortals and exchange them for spirit stones." ”
Shi Wunian took the silver ticket and asked, "I don't know what the two of you have planned?"
Fu Qi said: "There is still one year to go, and the triennial Seven Star Martial Arts will be held, and when the young generation of geniuses of the Seven Star Continent will gather in Yunmeng Mountain, I plan to open my eyes." Because the Seven Star Martial Arts is held in turn in the Eight Sects, and this time in the Yunmeng Sect closest to us, it can be said that it is a rare opportunity, and you two should not miss it!"
Cheng Dachun said: "Then I'll go with you, just so that we can comprehend this self-level exercise together!"
Shi Wunian asked, "How long does it take to get to Yunmeng Sect from here?"
Fu Qi said: "If you take the teleportation array in Xichu, plus the time to rush at both ends, you can reach it in thirty years, if you rely on our cultivation to do it, then you should not be able to rush it before the martial arts." ”
Fu Qi and Cheng Dachun planned to find a secluded place to practice the exercises first, and then set off for Yunmeng Sect, while Shi Wunian wanted to rush to the capital of Western Chu immediately. So Shi Wunian and the two of them parted here, and agreed to leave alone after meeting in Yunmengzong.
