The middle-aged monk who asked the question had a warm face, this person had no white beard, wore a blue robe, and looked very easy to get along with. As soon as he spoke, the eyes of all the monks present fell on Hong Jun.

"I've seen Brother Yan, and all of you are in the same way. Shen Ze bowed his hand and introduced: "This is Hong Junhong Daoyou, a casual cultivator, who has a little friendship with me, and has admired the small trade fair for a long time. ”

Hearing this, everyone probed Hong Jun's cultivation one after another, and seeing that he only had the fourth level of qi refining, two or three of them shook their heads in disappointment, and then withdrew their gaze.

"Welcome. The middle-aged monk nodded, and said to Hong Jun with a smile, not prejudiced because Hong Jun's cultivation was low.

"Thank you, Senior Yan. Hong Jun arched his hand. When he heard Shen Ze call this middle-aged monk Brother Yan, he knew that this person was the initiator of tonight's small trade fair, Yan Gangqing, the deacon of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Yan Gangqing's cultivation is profound, he has been in the fifth layer of qi refining for many years, he has a wide range of friends, and he has a very high reputation on Meizhou Island, and he is one of the qi refining cultivators in the Mingjiang River valley who is most likely to condense the golden pill.

After the introduction, Shen Ze and Hong Jun sat down on two adjacent stones on the edge of the clearing.

At this time, Yan Gangqing looked at Hong Jun seriously, his eyes flickered, and suddenly said, "Hong Daoyou is probably not forty years old this year, right?"

Hong Jun was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why the other party suddenly asked about it. In the cultivation world, most of the monks' appearances look young, and there are also many spells and elixirs that can make a hundred-year-old person have a juvenile-like appearance, so it is difficult to accurately judge the true age of a monk, but there are also some spiritual eye spells that can roughly judge the age of others, and it may be that Yan Gangqing has cultivated some kind of spiritual eye technique.

"Yan's seniors are as wise as a torch, and the younger ones are indeed less than forty years old. Hong Jun replied half-truthfully, in fact, he was not even twenty years old. It's a few months away, but it's not wrong to say that you're less than forty.

Yan Gangqing's face was pale, and he stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Hong Daoyou is so young, but he is already a fourth-level Qi refining cultivator. The future is limitless!"

As soon as this statement came out. Including Shen Ze, they were all shocked.

As we all know, the younger you are, the higher you cultivate. This represented an outstanding cultivation speed, and the few people present were all at the fifth level of Qi refining, but when they reached the fourth level of Qi refining, they were all fifty years old. There are even two who are over 60 years old, more than ten years slower than Hong Jun!

If it is a sect disciple, it is fine, there is always a few genius disciples in those famous sects, but I heard Shen Ze introduce it before, this Hong Daoyou is a loose cultivator, which is amazing. Cultivating alone, but being able to reach the fourth level of qi refining before the age of forty, has good qualifications. I'm afraid it will be hundreds of years before one appears!

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes on Hong Jun changed, and their attitudes were no longer as ignorant as just now, and they nodded to Hong Jun kindly.

Hong Jun couldn't laugh or cry. This senior Yan Gangqing will really make trouble for himself.

He should have cultivated some kind of spiritual eye spell, thinking that he had seen through Hong Jun's cultivation, but he didn't know how to look away, whether it was age or cultivation, it was far from Hong Jun's real situation.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Hong Jun's cultivation speed is extremely fast, and it is several times faster than they imagined, and Yan Gangqing can be regarded as crooked.

In the next half an hour, there were monks arriving in the open space in this plum forest one after another, all of them were familiar with Yan Gangqing, most of them were in the five-layer realm of qi refining, and only one or two were only four-layer like Hong Jun, but those who could participate in this small trade fair, even if they only had four-layer cultivation, they were not mediocre people, and they knew at a glance that they all had a skill, and their net worth was thick, which was not comparable to ordinary monks.

These monks are both sect disciples and casual cultivators, and the number is fifty-fifty, and each has about half.

Among them, what caught Hong Jun's attention the most was a short and fat red-faced old man, who spoke loudly and had a slightly worse temper, but as soon as he arrived, everyone including Yan Gangqing got up to greet him. Later, listening to him talk with Yan Gangqing, Hong Jun realized that this short and fat old man with his poor appearance was a well-known alchemist who had refined many good elixirs.

"The alchemist is really a popular person, this Zeng Jin senior ignores people, only occasionally says a few words to Yan Gangqing, and his voice is as ugly as a broken gong, but others still greet him with a smile, thinking that he is usually used to his character. ”

Just as Hong Jun was pondering the benefits of the alchemist, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and when he looked up, he saw a brown shuttle falling from the sky and landing in the middle of the clearing, revealing two figures.

"Haha, Yan Daoyou, it's too late to come down, forgive your sins. The monk at the head bowed to Yan Gangqing, saying sorry, but there was no apology on his face, and he looked very public.

"It's okay, Lin Daoyou came just in time. Yan Gangqing waved his hand, still smiling on his face.

Hong Jun secretly observed this person, and was not surprised to find that this monk surnamed Lin was also a fifth-layer realm, followed by another person, whose face was three or four points similar to the monk surnamed Lin, it should be a pair of brothers, but younger, looking about thirty years old. This person is a fourth-level cultivator of qi refining like Hong Jun, his eyes are a little gloomy, he looks around, his eyes sweep over the monks one by one, and he finds that Hong Jun is comparable to his own cultivation, his eyes pause for a few breaths, and he does not have any scruples.

At this time, Yan Gangqing also noticed the young monk and asked, "Lin Daoyou, who is this?"

The monk surnamed Lin laughed and said, "I almost forgot." Yan Daoyou, this is his brother Lin Mo, he just arrived at the fourth layer of qi refining not long ago, and he rarely went out before, this time my ancestor asked me to take him out to see the world, which made Yan Daoyou smile. ”

"It turned out to be the well-known cultivation genius of the Lin family, and he was actually a fourth-level Qi refining cultivator, and he really lived up to his reputation, and he had admired it for a long time. Yan Gangqing couldn't help but look at Lin Mo, obviously he had heard of this young man before.

Lin Mo stepped forward and took a hand casually, and said proudly: "Senior Lin Mo, I've seen Senior Yan. ”

Yan Gangqing's eyes flashed with unhappiness, such an arrogant junior monk is really rare, but as a deacon of Tianbao Pavilion, he is well-informed and exquisite, so he naturally won't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, suppressed his unhappiness, nodded and said: "Two Lin Daoyou, please sit down, the trade fair will start soon." ”

The two thanked each other and found two stones to sit down.

"Senior Shen, what is the origin of this pair of Lin brothers?" Hong Jun found that Yan Gangqing seemed to be a little jealous of the two brothers, and couldn't help but ask Shen Ze curiously with voice transmission.

"They are the descendants of a Xiuzhen family in the Martial Kingdom. Shen Ze replied quietly.

Hong Jun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Xiuzhen family?"

Hong Jun had also seen a descendant of the Xiuzhen family before, that is, Zhao Jingcheng, who died in his hands in the Great Wilderness, claiming to be from the distant Zhao family of the patriotic country, at that time Hong Jun knew very little about the Xiuzhen world, so he didn't care much. Now he has been wandering in the cultivation realm for a few years, and he knows some things about the cultivation family.

In the cultivation realm, there are actually not many cultivation families, and they are far less common than sects.

The biggest difference between the Xiuzhen family and the sect is that the monks in the family are all related by blood, and the relationship is closer than that of the sect's disciples.

Among the family, there will definitely be an old ancestor who made a fortune, and the rest are the direct descendants of this old ancestor, whose status is higher than that of the head of the sect, and has the absolute right to speak, because the Xiuzhen family can only exist by relying on this old ancestor. However, there are too few people in the human race who have cultivation qualifications, at least they are one in a thousand, or even one in a million, no matter how large the population of a cultivation family is, there will not be a few disciples with cultivation qualifications.

There is no successor, this is a huge problem that all the cultivation world cannot solve, even if you are lucky enough to have a few descendants with qi refining qualifications in each generation, with the difficulty of cultivation, unless it is a genius who is seen once in a hundred years, it is almost impossible to reach the cultivation of the ancestors.

Therefore, the Xiuzhen family usually can't last long, and once the ancestor who established the family is gone, it will soon decline, or be wiped out.

So far, there are very few families in the cultivation realm that can maintain continuous generations of incense, and there have never been only sects that have been passed down for 10,000 years, and there have been no families that have been passed down for 10,000 years!

Now hearing Shen Ze say that this pair of Lin brothers are from the cultivation world, it suddenly makes Hong Jun a little curious.

"Yes, the Lin family's prestige in the Martial Kingdom is no less than that of ordinary sects, and even surpasses it. ”

Shen Ze said in detail: "The Lin family was able to make a fortune in the Martial Kingdom, all thanks to that Lin Zhenren in the middle of Jindan. This Lin Zhenren was originally born in casual cultivation, unknown, and then I don't know what great opportunity he had, refining qi in less than eighty years to condense the golden pill, become a real person, and later returned to the martial country to marry a wife and concubine, give birth to children, generation after generation of branches, now the descendants of the Lin family have hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"There are so many descendants, and there are only a handful of them with cultivation qualifications, but the descendants of the Lin family are also competitive, especially Lin Di, Lin Mo, a pair of brothers, the martial arts cultivation realm is slightly famous, Lin Anzi needless to say, is already a fifth-layer realm of qi refining, only one step away from the Jindan period. ”

And Lin Mo's reputation is even greater, he and Lin Di are actually not brothers, the age difference is huge, it is rumored that he is a cultivation genius who has been seen once in hundreds of years, he once reached the third level of qi refining before the age of thirty, and he has been rumored in the Martial Kingdom for a while. Now he is just in his early forties, but he has four layers of cultivation, it seems that what he has passed is true, not much worse than Hong Daoyou!"

Hong Jun heard Shen Ze talk about the back, and then pulled it on himself, and said helplessly: "Senior Shen praised it falsely, thank you for your advice." ”

"It turns out that the ancestor of the Lin family is still alive, and he is a Jindan real person, no wonder Yan Gangqing is so jealous. Hong Jun thought to himself.

Although Tianbao Pavilion is one of the Nine Factions Alliance, its strength is many times stronger than that of the Lin family, but after all, it is an outsider on Meizhou Island, and the main force of Tianbao Pavilion is not in the Mingjiang River Basin, and even a Jindan real person has not been sent to guard it, Yan Gangqing is already the highest person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion on Meizhou Island, and Wuguo is not far from Meizhou Island, so it is normal to be afraid of a Jindan real person who is not far away.

After that, another quarter of an hour, when the last invited monk arrived, Yan Gangqing got up and was about to announce the start of the fair, when there was another noise in the sky.
