Chen Tianhong's first feeling when he walked into the stone cave was that there was indeed a madman living here.

This is a rectangular stone cave with a diameter of about nine zhang and a width of about five zhang. The ground and stone walls were full of chisel marks of different depths, three feet deep and about three inches shallow. It gives a strong sense of devastation.

In the upper left corner of the stone cave stood a jet-black giant sword, the nine-foot sword body was already a lot taller than Chen Tianhong. The hilt was surprisingly long, about nine inches, and there were still a few traces of blood on it. In the upper right corner stands a tall humanoid skeleton with its right arm outstretched towards the greatsword. It was as if the man still wanted to hold the sword in his hand before he died.

Even Chen Tianhong deeply felt a kind of persistence, and his heart was constantly shocked by a strong shock.

Chen Tianhong stood for a long time and decided to collect the body for his seniors. Unexpectedly, a gust of mountain wind blew in, and the tall skeleton suddenly turned into dust and drifted in the stone cave.

He didn't understand that the monk who wielded such a heavy sword, after the oil ran out, the bones that were overloaded were in fact already shattered. Another hundred years have passed, and this is considered a normal phenomenon.

He didn't dodge, but looked at the wisps of dust. It seems that even if it is this dust, it still has a strong obsession. It is really embarrassing for a cultivator to be able to solidify the obsession of changing his life against the sky to such a point and realm, and it is even more infinitely emotional.

At this moment, Chen Tianhong actually understood why the master arranged for him to come to this cave.

A man dies like a lamp that goes out, and returns to dust.

The ashes of the predecessors quickly drifted away, leaving only a devastated cave. Chen Tianhong carefully cleaned for nearly two hours before tidying up.

He walked out of the cave and carefully checked the things sent by Senior Brother Xuanwu. The most conspicuous thing is that there are thirty-six small bottles, each containing a elixir of similar shape and size, some containing one pill, and the most containing three pills, all of which are of different colors. He didn't know what it was or what it was for, so he had to put it in the little back for the time being. In addition to a few books, only the things used in daily life, such as tables, chairs, beds, tea sets, cups, and so on, remain.

After these are placed, look at the stone cave again, and suddenly have a new feeling. At least, it can be lived.

At this moment, there is only one person, one horse, and one sword left in the cave.

The foal found a flat ground and lay down comfortably, very calmly. It seems that it is quite satisfied with this new home.

Chen Tianhong let out a long breath, slowly walked in front of the giant sword, stretched out his hand to measure, and found that the sword was nearly four feet higher than himself. Measured horizontally, the sword is nine inches wide. Greatswords have edges and no blades. The nine-inch blade of the sword, which is shaped like a crescent moon with two straightened ends, is formed by the centripetal merger. The slightly raised edges and corners in the middle of the sword body are uneven, like a dragon's back. The round sword lattice (the grating between the blade and the hilt) resembles the sun hanging in the air.

Although he didn't have any knowledge related to magic weapons, treasure weapons, or spiritual weapons, Chen Tianhong still intuitively felt that this didn't seem to be a sword in the true sense.

After a while, Chen Tianhong had the courage to take the giant sword. Unexpectedly, it was as if he had obtained a piece of dark iron heavy stone, and he did not move at all. He mustered up all his strength to get it again, but still didn't move. In this way, I dare not move rashly.

Xindao: According to what Senior Brother Zhen Buyi said, this sword should belong to me. But with such a heavy weight, how can I move it?

Anyway, you can't take it, and you don't have to take it. Therefore, he quickly gave up the idea of holding the greatsword.

I boiled a pot of water first, brewed a cup of tea, and took a few sips, which was refreshing and pleasant, and my spirit was much better. After recuperating and recuperating, I began a day's cultivation and schoolwork.

Chen Tianhong found that before he saw the illusion of the pair of green wolves today, his meridians were open, and every time he ran the Dragon Raising Technique, the Dragon Descending Technique, and the Yijin Sutra, the spiritual power stored in the meridians could operate at will. And now, no matter how much the trick is used, there is no response.

There is no doubt about this for him, who is not good at the capital: it makes matters worse.

However, with his current knowledge and wisdom, he couldn't find any ice-breaking point at all. Therefore, under the domination of strong frustration, he decisively gave up his cultivation. simply sat cross-legged on the bed, like a monk chanting a scripture, and silently recited the "Wenqu Xingjue". Finally managed to survive until dawn, and after hastily washing and changing clothes, he walked out of the cave and walked towards the "Dantang" according to what Senior Brother Xuanwu said.

* * *

"Thousand Realms Plateau", located in the west of the 36 peaks of Fengshen, 500 miles in length and width, is a vast plain surrounded by peaks. Since the beginning of the "Yuan Emperor" to create the temple of the gods, it has been divided into eight areas according to the direction of the eight trigrams, also known as the "eight worlds". In the diagonal center of the northwest and southeast, there are two huge pillars, the southeast is white, the northwest is black, and the terrain is firmly controlled.

The Thousand Realms Plateau is the location of the halls and halls of all sizes to which the shrine belongs.

The Jiuyang Mountain Range is located in the north of the Thousand Realms Plateau, but it is one of the closest mountain ranges. Chaoyang Peak, which belongs to the Jiuyang Mountain Range, is the northernmost one of Jiuyang Nine Peaks. So, it's a little bit farther away.

Chen Tianhong walked along the south-facing mountain road and walked briskly. The people I met on the road were all in small teams of threes and twos, walking towards the north. He didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't know anyone to ask, so he had to remain silent and continue walking towards the Thousand Realms. Probably, the other fellow students had the same idea, and no one stepped forward to say hello.

There was nothing to do all the way, and I came to the "redemption realm" smoothly.

The three most powerful halls in the exchange world: Dan Hall, Baicao Hall, and Baiyun Pavilion. The three halls stand together, completely controlling the affairs of the "elixir" of the temple. Many times, regarding the distribution of the elixir, even the head of one faction does not dare to do too much in-depth research and assignment. Even if it is on the Thousand Realms, only the "Instrument Hall" that is "out of bounds" can be faintly suppressed.

Chen Tianhong stood outside the Dan Hall and hesitated for a moment before walking into the main hall with heavy steps. In the middle of the counter, an obese middle-aged man was half-lying on a wide tiger skin chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was taking a nap. On the counters on both sides of the middle-aged man, there were three men and three women, some were checking the account books, and some were sorting out spiritual materials.

And at this moment, he turned out to be the only one who came to buy something.

A young man on the right said with a smile: "Hey, do you want to buy a spirit pill, or do you want to sell spiritual materials? If it is a task that has been issued, please go to the 'Thousand Realms Monument', which is all written on it." ”

When Chen Tianhong heard this, he was stunned, held back for a while, and took out two animal bones from his back. Unexpectedly, the young man was just about to continue talking, and the middle-aged man waved his sleeves, and suddenly a strong wind swept in, directly rolling Chen Tianhong out of the hall, and he fell firmly.

Chen Tianhong, who was in a daze, heard someone roaring in the main hall: "How can Dantang collect this kind of garbage? You twelve people will polish my eyes for me!"

Chen Tianhong finally stood up, his trembling body clutching the beast bones. However, he did not feel aggrieved. That's because he's ignorant, that's because he's used to the indifference of the world.

How can an ignorant person talk about grievances?

If, from the very beginning, he could feel that there was awe, or at least respect, for him as a disciple of the Sect, it would not be so. The truth is no. The fact is that the people and things he encountered were no different from those in Longmen Town and the study.

A person who has no strength at all, how can he be respected?

All of them still treat themselves with a pair of cold and disdainful eyes. Therefore, for a long time, he began to acquiesce in this fact in his heart. And this kind of sorrow seems to be nothing to ordinary mortals like ants. This is where sorrow and sorrow come in.

In this cold world, apart from these, Chen Tianhong couldn't think about it more, and the flame in his chest had long been extinguished. Sometimes, he wondered where he was going from here.

In countless desperate nights, only the ethereal belief of reviving the "greedy wolf guard" sustained him.

In countless times of life and death, the god of fate will always lend a helping hand in time, and he will feel that creation is tricky.

In this bleak world, he is still exploring the way to survive.

Before the dawn of his life's turning point, he had to face the unknown living environment alone. On this journey, except for the foal, only the shadow of loneliness is left by his side.

He straightened his slightly embarrassed clothes and didn't know where to go. Originally, he just wanted to sell the bones and exchange them for some silver or copper plates.

Fifty zhang away on the left is Baicao Hall, and fifty zhang outside on the right is Baiyun Pavilion. Pondered: I have a relationship with Qingyun Monument, so it's better to try my luck in Baiyun Pavilion again.

Chen Tianhong walked to Baiyun Pavilion as if he was beating a drum in his heart, stood outside the hall and looked out, and found that the staffing was the same as that of Dantang. It's just that in the middle position is a young man, who is playing with the abacus beads. When the young man saw him wandering outside the temple, he beckoned.

Chen Tianhong still hesitated and walked into the main hall with the beast bones.

The young man smiled and asked, "Little junior brother, but you want to exchange this beast bone for spiritual materials?"

Chen Tianhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "I want to exchange it for money!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Twelve eyes looked at the young man in unison, looking at the young man strangely.

In fact, Chen Tianhong really didn't know that within the Nine Great Cultivation Sects, gold and silver treasures had always been the most important thing. Almost all of them put their energy into exchanging various cultivation resources, such as spirit pills, spirit liquids, spirit incense, and all kinds of things that could help greatly improve the realm.

Therefore, within the nine major sects, the real currency of their circulation and trading is "spiritual materials", not "gold, silver, copper", etc. And the concept of spiritual materials is too broad.

Therefore, after more than 5,000 years of precipitation, the nine major Xiuzhen sects jointly formulated and perfected a spiritual material genealogy, called "Materia Medica", referred to as "Materia Medica", with a total of nine volumes. The number of words, the richness of the illustrations, the exhaustiveness of the classification, and the strict division of the grades are unparalleled so far, including all the spiritual things in heaven and earth.

The young man groaned slightly, and motioned for Chen Tianhong to take the animal bone closer. The young man looked at it for a while and said, "This beast bone is the beast bone of a fourth-order demon beast, and one can be exchanged for ten taels of silver and one tael of gold. Two can be exchanged for one one-grade elixir. I don't know what the little junior brother wants to exchange?"

"Half silver and half gold!"

When Chen Tianhong said this, he was naturally taught by the old servant Longbo. And his idea is very simple, exchange it for gold and silver, and accumulate capital for the reconstruction of the Greedy Wolf Guard.

The young man nodded and said, "Buy and sell, each according to his needs." Since the goal of the little junior brother is so clear, it is so decided. He said to a young man on the left: "Tian Meng, you are in charge of bookkeeping, and you have traded spiritual materials with this little junior brother. ”

"Oh!"

The young man named Tian Meng has a wide mouth, a pair of attractive ears on his big head, a mouth, a little scary, as soon as he speaks, there seems to be a bell ringing in the whole hall.

Chen Tianhong saw that someone was willing to accept animal bones, so in order to avoid the previous scene in Dantang, he simply took off his back and took out a large number of animal bones. In fact, these beast bones are not very valuable, only because they have been placed in the grotto for three years, they appear to be full of spiritual power and have some value.

The thirteen people in the hall looked at this scene as if they were watching a magic show again. Yes, no one could have imagined that the ordinary backpack on the back of an ordinary teenager could hold so many things.

Of course, all thirteen people understand. This has a professional term in the cultivation realm - "Sumeru", which generally refers to a kind of space magic weapon with a large storage space and is extremely easy to carry. Also known as "Ruyi", Ruyi bag, Ruyi ring, Ruyi belt, and so on.

When the young man saw that Chen Tianhong had finally finished taking it, he re-memorized his shirt before he spoke: "The little junior brother really deserves to be the elder's personal disciple. The bones of these fourth-order demon beasts are probably as many as eleven. ”

In fact, the young man's voice was that with Chen Tianhong's cultivation realm, there was no possibility of fighting a fourth-order demon beast at all. However, he really took out the bones of eleven fourth-order demon beasts.

However, Chen Tianhong didn't understand, he pondered in his heart: I just sell animal bones, but there is no need to tell the origin of animal bones. This little bit of caution was also taught by the old servant Longbo, who was very good at management. So, he didn't speak.

The young man smiled slightly, motioned for the others to start counting, and said to Chen Tianhong: "My name is Fang Zheng, and I am the chief of Baiyun Pavilion. I don't know what to call the little junior brother?"

"My name is Chen Tianhong!"

"Oh?" The young man was slightly surprised, and the other twelve were even more surprised, and he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked at him, and the young man continued, "Are you a closed disciple of the Holy Martial Sect?"

Chen Tianhong nodded and took out the heavy jade in his hand.

The young man nodded slightly and said, "I see, disrespectful, disrespectful." After a pause, he instructed the other fellow disciples to speed up the clearance.

Chen Tianhong saw it clearly, at the beginning of the inventory, Tian Meng was looking at it one by one, but now it is only a rough point, and he has written down in the thick account book. A young girl came over with a tray and said with a smile:

"What you have gained this time is worth a hundred taels of silver and ten taels of gold. You take stock of it yourself. ”

"No!" Although Chen Tianhong saw silver and gold ingots for the first time, he had taught him enough knowledge about this area, and he could see it at a glance. It's just that he still hasn't adapted to how to survive in the big sect, and he hasn't even cultivated the most basic polite words of "thank you". Speech is still stilted.

Chen Tianhong put the gold and silver on his back, immediately turned around and walked out, and when he was about to go out, he looked back and said, "Senior, thank you!"

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Senior brother is serious. We are the same generation, and the foolish brother is just a few years older. If you call me senior brother, that is. ”

"Oh!" Chen Tianhong answered, walked out quickly, and walked towards the study hall of the "Gen Realm".

In the Baiyun Pavilion, a young girl said, "Senior Brother Fang, isn't Zuo Leng of Dantang a little too much? Everyone knows that Zuo Leng is a person from Qinglong. It'......"

"Senior Sister Ning, be cautious in your words and deeds!" Fang Zheng pondered, "What a powerful figure the Holy Martial Sect is, needless to say. His cultivation of extremely important closed disciples in this way probably has a deep meaning. Therefore, we only follow the rules and do not participate in anything else. ”

"But......" The girl stopped talking.

Fang Zheng smiled lightly: "The four major disciples of the Holy Martial Sect, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, are all young heroes, and they have taken charge of the Four Heavenly Guards early. But why did he cultivate closed disciples like this?"

As he spoke, he said a little mysteriously: "That's because the Holy Martial Sect has finally understood that a person's growth requires a process of accumulation and precipitation, rather than blindly pulling out seedlings to help them grow. ”

The girl said, "What do you mean?"

"Ten years later, we will naturally see!"
