Zhou Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and then found that this was indeed the case.

However, a passing monk beside them casually replied after hearing Li Letian's question: "This is not simple, the Tianxuan Sect held this mercenary competition, on the one hand, it is indeed to find a Dharma protector for its own trial disciples. But on the other hand, he also wanted to use this activity to select some disciples of the casual cultivation or second- and third-rate sects with potential and good qualifications to enter the mountain gate in order to enhance his strength. In this way, they can gain many disciples with good strength without cultivating themselves. At the same time, these casual cultivators or second- and third-rate cultivators who have become outer disciples have a big backer like the Tianxuan Sect, and they are much richer in terms of cultivation techniques and resources than before, and even if they are lucky, they can become inner disciples or core disciples, so they will make a lot of money! Therefore, in addition to the golden pill, even the Qi refining cultivators in the foundation building period are also eager for this competition. ”

After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhou Xiang and the two nodded, revealing their original appearance.

After the man finished explaining, he looked at Li Letian's outfit and asked, "I don't think Daoist friends are like loose cultivators, they should be disciples of a certain sect, do you also want to participate in this competition?"

Li Letian shook his head: "Thank you for solving your doubts, but I only like to watch the excitement, and I'm not interested in my own competition." ”

As far as I know, there are more monks who want to see the excitement every time there is a competition, but not everyone is eligible. You have to get the tickets issued by the Tianxuan Sect before you can enter! These tickets had already been divided up by the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect and the second- and third-rate sects under them, as well as other forces of the Water Right Sect, before the competition. It's impossible for ordinary people to see the excitement!"

After a pause, seeing that Li Letian was a little disappointed, the monk continued: "However, it's not that there is no way, many monks find another way and pretend to sign up. As long as you register, you can enter the venue, and you can watch the excitement justifiably when you participate in the competition. When it's your turn, go up and make a gesture, or abstain. So, don't look at the registration scene is so popular, in fact, half of the people go purely as spectators. ”

"Received!" Li Letian finally understood, it turned out that there was still such a thing in it, and even Zhou Xiang felt like he was empowered when he heard it. Those who sign up for the competition are not necessarily for the competition, just like entering the casino does not necessarily gamble, there are some people just to join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang decided to change his plan and sign up first. Even if you don't participate in the competition in the end, it is beneficial for you to go in and observe your practice.

Li Letian also thought the same, so the two turned around and walked towards the registration place, because the Tianxuan faction arranged five groups of monks to be responsible for registration here, so the two came to a registration point without much effort, and after showing their identity jade card, the Tianxuan sect monk searched for a moment in a jade slip, as if he was checking something, and then swept the two with his divine sense, confirmed their cultivation and then hugged his fist at Zhou Xiangyi: "This Taoist friend of Sanqingmen, you can participate in the competition, please wait." Then he registered on a jade plaque, and a monk next to him entered a message on another jade plaque according to his instructions, and finally handed it to Zhou Xiang: "This is your jade medal, you need to enter the competition with this, as for when it starts, in which ring to compete, you can see it in the public notice on the square." ”

After Zhou Xiang took the jade card, he checked it and found that it was his own information, and there was also a serial number: Jin District Yiwei number.

Zhou Xiang put it away, and then waited for Li Letian to go through the formalities, but he heard the Tianxuan sect monk say to Li Letian: "Monk Zhuji can participate in the competition, but he needs to pay an entry fee of five thousand spirit stones. ”

"What?" Li Letian's eyes widened when he heard this, "Why is this? Why doesn't Uncle Shi need anything, so I have to pay so many spirit stones?"

That day, the Xuan Sect monk didn't bother to explain, but for the sake of Zhou Xiang's face, he said a few more words: "As far as we know, many foundation building monks are purely to go in and watch the excitement, these five thousand spirit stones are actually half ticket nature, and they have to be paid during the foundation building period!"

Li Letian was speechless, and a little hesitant, there were too many five thousand spirit stones, that was half of his net worth, in order to see a lively value?

Zhou Xiang saw this kid's embarrassment, alas! It seems that Sanqingmen is really poor. Thinking of this, he took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to the Tianxuan Sect monk: "There is a friend of the Daoist Sect!"

The man took the high-grade spirit stone, and after confirming that it was correct, he also made a jade plate and handed it to Li Letian, Li Letian was very happy: "Thank you, uncle!"

Zhou Xiang saw that the two jade plates were in hand, and the purpose had been achieved, so he turned around to leave, who knew that day the Xuanpai monks had found back fifty medium-grade spirit stones in a businesslike manner, Li Letian saw that Zhou Xiang had no intention of taking over, so he hurriedly grabbed the spirit stone, put it in his storage bag, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, uncle! It's really good to follow uncle, both registered and got five thousand spirit stones." ”

Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiang had a new understanding of the situation of his own sect.

The two walked through the bustling city center to the street where Zhou Xiang planned to shop, which was full of shops and rows of shops, which made people a little dizzying. Zhou Xiang looked at it as he walked, thinking about what gift to prepare at the same time. When he walked to a particularly tall and majestic building, Li Letian suddenly shouted: "Wow! Yuanbao Pavilion! Sure enough, it is the first merchant in the Nine Realms of the world, and there is indeed a branch in Xuancheng in this day!"

Zhou Xiang looked up, only to see a majestic attic standing in front of him, two lions in front of the door majestic and majestic looking down on pedestrians, there are high white stone steps in the middle of the lion have been extended up, the end is a wide main entrance and the small door on both sides obliquely, there is no plaque on the door, but the relief pattern is arranged full of eyes, has spread to the second floor position, the second floor is in the center of the pattern cluster protruding three big characters "Yuan Bao Pavilion" At the top of the attic, there are three pillars that go straight to the sky, and on it sit cross-legged with three heads looking at the sky, and the whole façade reveals a wordless luxury.

"Have you been in, what are you doing here?" asked Zhou Xiang.

"My nephew is so poor, how can I enter such a place. The Yuan Bao Pavilion is the largest shop and auction house in the world, and they have branches in every big city in the Nine Realms, not only buying and selling elixirs, magic weapons and other cultivation items, but also holding auctions at the beginning and middle of each month, specializing in the sale of some rare treasures. In addition, every year on the ninth day of September, a huge auction is held to auction some items that even the monks of the gods will be tempted to buy. Legend has it that the strength of this Yuan Treasure Pavilion is stronger than any first-class sect, and only the Dan Alliance can fight with the Nine Realms in the entire human world. The teacher and nephew usually stand outside the door at most to take a look, and they don't even dare to think about entering and leaving this kind of place. ”

Zhou Xiang shook his head, no wonder Li Letian didn't dare to go in, mortals would have no self-confidence when they were poor, and cultivators were no exception? Zhou Xiang suddenly felt that some of the things he wanted to prepare were probably going to land in this Ingot Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang raised his head to Li Letian: "Let's go! Uncle Shi will take you in to see and see!"

After speaking, he walked up the stairs, Li Letian saw that Zhou Xiang was so confident, and he mustered up courage for no reason, and for the first time in his life, he stepped on the white stone steps and followed his uncle up.

There were two monks standing at the gate of the Yuanbao Pavilion, and Zhou Xiang's divine sense swept over and found that they were actually cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. I couldn't help but admire that the Yuanbao Pavilion was really wealthy, and even the gatekeeper monks were worthy of the cultivation of the head of the Sanqing Sect.

Thinking self-deprecatingly, Zhou Xiang continued to walk towards the gate, but Li Letian began to feel a little weak in the back, the two gatekeepers were higher than his own cultivation, and there were indeed not many spirit stones in his storage bag, so after being looked at by the two of them, the confidence that followed Zhou Xiang just now disappeared without a trace, and the two legs could only mechanically follow the uncle to move in, but fortunately, the other party may have noticed Zhou Xiang's cultivation in the Jindan period, so he didn't mean to stop or ask, and directly let them into the pavilion.

After entering the door, Zhou Xiang found that there was a spacious hall inside, the floor was paved with black glazed bricks, and the surrounding walls were decorated with brightly colored murals, or landscapes, or people, all of which were far-reaching and lifelike.

Several thick pillars support the high top of the hall, standing here makes people feel small, there are also diagonal steps on both sides of the hall, I don't know where it leads, there is a heavily decorated counter in front of the door, in front of the counter stand several palace girls, each graceful, graceful.

Zhou Xiang found that these maids were actually all foundation building monks, one of the women saw Zhou Xiang and the two enter the pavilion, and hurriedly moved the lotus step to the line, she walked in front of the two and bent down and saluted: "Welcome two distinguished guests to my Yuanbao Pavilion, the little woman's name is Wen Ya, dare to ask where you can work?"
