Leaving the small valley, Wang Zhong hurried to the Zhao family manor in Jiuhe City non-stop.

Lin Shuangcheng's side shouldn't be a big problem, but Zhao Junyi's side must cooperate, this kind of thing must be coordinated by both parties, and only when they work together can there be hope.

It was only when he arrived in Jiuhe City that Wang Zhong heard a news that surprised him greatly, the Zhao family in Jiuhe City actually wanted to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives.

After nearly a month, Wang Zhong came to the Zhao family manor again, and the guards guarding the door still knew him, but told him that Zhao Chengwang and Zhao Junyi were not in the Zhao family at the moment, and they had already gone to Kuquan Mountain.

Kuquan Mountain is just three hundred miles east of Jiuhe City, this mountain is very strange, a long time ago, this place was called Baiquan Mountain.

There are many natural springs around the mountain, but there are no rivers passing through it.

The water of these springs seems to come straight from the groundwater, and the springs are rich in a strange thing called the silver silk fish, which when it reaches adulthood, is no more than two inches long, but less than a finger thick, and its whole body is transparent, swimming in the water like silver filaments.

Although the silver silk fish is small, it contains a wealth of spiritual energy essence, and it is very easy to be absorbed, which is very helpful for qi refining cultivators to temper the true qi and advance the true element, and once became a specialty here.

It's just about 200 years ago, all the springs here began to fade gradually, and decades later, the former 100 springs disappeared completely, and the silver silk fish also disappeared with the springs, leaving only a deep and dark hole, which went straight to the depths of the earth, so later generations called this dry spring mountain.

After the establishment of the Nine Surnames Alliance, the Zhao family of Jiuhe City occupied this place, although it was of little use, but it was also one of the spheres of influence, and from time to time the Zhao family would organize people to go in to explore the secrets, to see if they could find the whereabouts of the silver fish, and even find out the reason why Baiquan dried up, and restore it to its original state.

And the recent Kuquan Mountain ushered in a grand event in Jiuhe City, that is, Zhao Chengwang is ready to set up a checkpoint here to compete and recruit relatives, and the final winner can marry Zhao Junyi, the eldest lady of the Zhao family.

However, Wang Zhong learned from the Zhao family manor that the competition at this time was still in the preparation and registration stage, and it was estimated that it would take a month or two to start when it was really held.

The conditions for registration are also very simple, in addition to having good facial features and having settled down, there are two main requirements, the first is simple, that is, the bone age cannot exceed thirty years old, and the cultivation realm cannot be more than two realms different from Zhao Junyi. Zhao Junyi is now a ninth-level Qi refining cultivator, so the minimum requirement for registration is the eighth-level Qi refining.

Another point is more intriguing, that is, if the person who signed up wins in the end, he must agree to join the Zhao family before he can get married.

If you have to join the competition, then most of the people who come to participate in the competition should be casual cultivators, even if some children from big families, I am afraid that they are all unimportant side branches, which is a little different from Zhao Chengwang's original idea. And this regulation feels like it was tailor-made for Lin Shuangcheng.

If Wang Zhong guessed correctly, this should be the result of Zhao Junyi's struggle with Zhao Chengwang, maybe this martial arts competition is a compromise between father and daughter that Zhao Junyi came up with, otherwise, Zhao Chengwang doesn't have to be so troublesome.

In fact, just as Wang Zhong thought, in the station of Kuquan Mountain, Zhao Chengwang was also quite unhappy with his daughter's thoughts, but the next generation of the Zhao family now only Zhao Junyi has the best qualifications in cultivation and the most hope of inheriting the family, and the marriage relationship is still Zhao Junyi's lifelong event, so Zhao Chengwang still made a certain compromise under the strong request of his daughter.

However, the reason why he agreed to recruit relatives in the competition and the reason why he had to join the army was also due to additional considerations.

Although finding a big family to marry has the greatest benefits, but the risk is also great, if you meet an ambitious, small family like the Zhao family, it is very likely to be annexed, so it is really a loss to the wife and the army, so it is still safe.

And most of the people who can win in the competition will be the children of the family, even if it is a branch of the house, but the Zhao family only wants this layer of name, as long as they can borrow the banner.

In any case, ensuring the Zhao family's self-inheritance is the first place, so he agreed to this more secure approach.

As for whether the son-in-law selected in this way is not qualified enough, it may not be of great help to Zhao Junyi, but it is good news, so that there is no need to spend too much resources on this son-in-law.

Of course, the ninth-level qi refining under the age of thirty, and the existence that can stand out from many competitors, no matter how bad it is, it should not be much worse, and it will not be too aggrieved by Zhao Junyi.

So all in all, this is a perfect solution.

At this time, Zhao Chengwang was supervising the construction of the site for the children of the clan and the hired monks in Kuquan Mountain, the most important of which was the arrangement of these dark back and forth holes in Kuquan Mountain, where the competition would be held.

Wang Zhong left after knowing the general situation of the competition in the Zhao family's manor, but he felt that there was no need to go to Kuquan Mountain again, and even if he went to Kuquan Mountain, he was afraid that he would not be able to see Zhao Junyi, because after the Zhao family released the news, they would no longer see outsiders, so as not to be suspected of being said to be unfair.

After returning to the nameless valley, Wang Zhong informed Lin Shuangcheng, who had awakened from retreat, about the incident.

Although Lin Shuangcheng was anxious, his mood was not restless, but he said very calmly: "There are countless intricate tunnels in Kuquan Mountain, all of which used to flow through holes where spring water flowed. ”

As a native of Nine Rivers City, he also knew about Dry Spring Mountain, and even explored in several caves, but he didn't have any adventures.

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "Ahem, I deliberately should have put something in the depths of the hole by Zhao Chengwang, and whoever can find it will be the winner or something." However, no matter what the method of competition is, the fighting method must be indispensable, so cultivation is the ultimate thing. Ahem, do you feel confident?"

There is still more than a month to go, if Lin Shuangcheng can reabsorb and refine all the true elements of the previous Baichuan Xingmai Diagram and transform them into the true yuan mana of the Canglan True Scripture, it should not be difficult to return to the eighth layer of qi refining, but if the eighth layer of qi refining participates, it is possible to meet opponents in the early stage of foundation building, in that case, the winning rate will be greatly reduced.

Lin Shuangcheng pondered for a moment, clenched his fists and said: "In the first life of cultivation, everyone's pursuit at each stage is different, and at this moment this is the meaning of my practice, so I am determined to win, if it fails, Brother Wang is a person with profound knowledge in cultivation, and he should also know what the ending will be."
