Martial Arts Immortal.

Chapter 136 Auction

……

In the early morning, the sun shines, bringing a touch of heat.

Spring is over and summer is here.

The summer in Wuling City is not as hot as Songyicheng, but a little cooler.

Lin Zheyu strolled along Nanming Street. On both sides of the street were various vendors selling pulp.

All kinds of loud shouts bring a noisy atmosphere of lively fireworks to this bustling city.

This is one of the busiest streets and alleys in Wuling City.

Lin Zheyu spent 500 taels of silver to rent a small courtyard near Nanming Street and lived there.

After searching for information for more than a month, he had a deeper understanding of the situation in Wuling City.

Xu Shixin's initial introduction to the customs and customs of the Central Plains was only a brief introduction, which could only give him a general understanding of the overall situation in the Central Plains.

If you want to have an in-depth understanding of the major forces near a specific city in a certain area, you need to find local people to inquire.

"Master, please come inside."

Arriving at Chongwu Building, the boy waiting outside the door saw Lin Zheyu and greeted him warmly.

Chongwu Tower is a famous restaurant in Wuling City.

I heard that the boss behind Chongwu Tower is a master-level expert.

In the restaurant, exchanges and competitions between warriors are often held, attracting a large number of warriors to gather.

Lin Zheyu has been in Wuling City for more than a month. He goes to Chongwu Tower almost every day to order a bottle of wine, order some side dishes, and inquire about news.

In this place where warriors gather, you can get a lot of useful information related to martial arts.

"Brother Lin, you are here too, sit here."

As soon as he entered Chongwu Tower, a man not far away greeted him with a smile.

At this time, his appearance returned to its original state without using the Turtle Breathing Technique to disguise it.

Lin Zheyu had a beard on his face, which covered up his slightly immature face and made him look much more mature.

This year is his third year in this world.

This body is gone.

Men of this age group are in a period of physical growth, and with the help of martial arts training, Lin Zheyu's height has grown to 1.8 meters.

In nearly three years, he grew from a thin scholar who had just traveled through time to a powerful man named Kong Wu.

After practicing the Hundred Refinements Manual, Lin Zheyu's body became much stronger.If Jia Yanyong and others see him again, they probably won't dare to recognize him.

"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days. How have you been lately? Have you joined any force?"

Lin Zheyu sat down opposite the man and asked with a smile.

The man's name is Wang Jing and he comes from Xishan City in the North.

He looks about 40 years old, but he says he is only 30 years old and he just looks older.

Lin Zheyu's real age is stated to be 27 years old, but his face is relatively tender.

"Oh, if only that were the case."

"I dare not think about the God of War Sect. After all, it is one of the top ten sects in the entire Guanghua Region."

"They are extremely strict in selecting disciples. Those like us who come from other places and are elderly are not wanted at all."

"But other sects are too blind."

"Three days ago, I took the entrance examination of Guiyang Sect. I passed all the examinations, but I could only become an outer disciple."

"Damn it, that old guy who took the assessment said I was too old and my potential had been exhausted."

"Made, I just look anxious and look older!"

"I'm only 30 years old. Even in the Central Plains, I'm still a little genius. What a blind guy!"

"Besides, you can find out your age by just checking. I don't have a black registered permanent residence. I have a foothold in the north."

Wang Jing cursed and vented his dissatisfaction.

He participated in the entrance examination of several sects, but was unable to enter the inner sect and could only become an outer sect disciple.

Being an outside disciple is useless, and he is not qualified to pass on the powerful techniques of the sect.

If you want to learn exercises and obtain resources, you need to rely on contribution points and silver to purchase them.

Lin Zheyu looked at the other person's anxious appearance and silently took a sip of tea. Even if he said he was 40 years old, he felt like he was being praised.

"Brother Lin, it's better for you, you have a tender face."

"If you shave off your beard, no one will doubt you if you say you are 20 years old."

Wang Jing looked at Lin Zheyu and said enviously.

If he had such a tender face, he would have joined his favorite sect long ago.

"Can't those sects judge the age of warriors?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

He was only a half-way monk and didn't understand many things very well.

In the past, when I listened to stories and read novels, it was always when I was just getting started. I could tell my age with just a touch of my hand. It was magical.

"Do you think this is a story told by a storyteller?"

"Ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts can accurately judge their age by touching bones and looking at faces."

"After you start practicing martial arts, your body, muscles, and facial features will change due to different martial arts training and as your martial arts realm improves."

"For warriors like us in the Qi and Blood Realm, it is difficult to judge age by touching the bones and looking at the physiognomy."

Wang Jing shook his head and explained.

That's why he was so angry.

I'm obviously only 30 years old, but I look a little anxious. Why do you say I'm in my forties?

"I see."

Lin Zheyu suddenly said.

He had falsely added a few years to his age, and he was really worried that he would be discovered during the entrance examination.

In this way, he felt relieved a lot.

During the entrance examination, the inspection is extremely strict.

It can be detected by using exercises to change the appearance and careful inspection.

Lin Zheyu could not join those sects with other appearances, he could only use his original appearance.

However, this would cause trouble.

Even if you join the sect and become an inner disciple, you cannot obtain all the skills at once.

Only after breaking through to the next martial arts realm can you receive the skills corresponding to the martial arts realm.

During this process, the sect can slowly examine the character of its disciples to prevent teaching all the skills at once, which will lead to the leakage of the skills within the sect.

Lin Zheyu's background was that he was a talented Zang-Refining Realm warrior who had practiced martial arts for less than three years.

No matter how talented he is, he can't explain how he can improve his strength to the fourth level of Qi and Blood in less than three years.

And developed a strong physique.

In other words, if he used his original background, the best he could do would be to reveal his strength at the Qi and Blood Veil level.

Then wait for a few years to let your actual strength slowly rise to the four changes of Qi and Blood.

It's such a waste of time.

Lin Zheyu's choice was to return to the original appearance, and then set the background to a village in the North that was destroyed by demons.

Wuling City is far away from Bafang City.

Lin Zheyu walked from winter to spring and did not arrive here until summer. He believed that his former friends would not come here.

He wasn't worried about being recognized by familiar people.

But in this case, there is no way to know one's origin.

"Brother Wang, will it have any impact on my joining the sect if my background is unknown?"

Lin Zheyu asked worriedly.

Sometimes, improving your strength too quickly is also a trouble, and it is really a happy trouble.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't leave any illegal or disciplinary records with the authorities, there will generally be no problem."

"Your face is so tender. If you shave your beard cleanly, they probably believe you when you say you are 20 years old."

"A 20-year-old warrior with four changes of energy and blood. For such a talented warrior, which sect would not regard you as a treasure."

Wang Jing said with some jealousy.

Grandma, I didn’t expect that becoming a warrior also requires reputation.

"I wish I were 20 years old."

"It's a pity that I'm 27 years old."

"Don't worry, with your qualifications, there will definitely be a knowledgeable sect that will accept you." Lin Zheyu felt much relieved after hearing this, and comforted him with a smile.

"I know, but I'm just not happy."

Wang Jing drank all the wine in the bowl depressedly.

His background is well documented.

If those sects are willing, it is very simple to investigate. They only need to send people to Wang Jing's birthplace to investigate.

But to those sects, a 30-year-old Qi-Blood Four Transformation Warrior's talent could only be considered average.

It's as good as the sky, and the chance of breaking through the Marrow Training Realm with the Five Transformations of Qi and Blood is still very low.

It is difficult for such an elderly person to have a sense of belonging to the sect.

There was no way to cultivate a sense of belonging, and his talent was not too outstanding. This was the real reason why those sects did not accept Wang Jing.

Judging age by looking at faces is just their excuse.

Wang Jing also knows this.

That's why he was very depressed.

"Alas, it seems we can only find a worse sect." Wang Jing thought gloomily.

Wang Jing, as the most talented disciple of the Wang family, did not expect that he would be disliked by many sects after coming to the Central Plains.

You can only join a weaker sect.

"On the first of next month, that is, five days later, the entrance examination of Lieyang Sect will be held. Is Brother Wang interested in participating?" Lin Zheyu asked.

Lieyang Sect is a famous sect near Wuling City.

It is said that there are three master-level warriors inside, who are very powerful and belong to the second echelon in Wuling City.

It has a history of hundreds of years and is said to have existed before the founding of the Wei Dynasty.

"Don't go."

"I went there two months ago and was rejected." Wang Jing said without raising his head.

I feel even more depressed.

Lin Zheyu: "Uh..."

Lin Zheyu was a little embarrassed when he accidentally uncovered Wang Jing's scar, so he picked up his wine glass and toasted him.

……

……

I had a drink with Wang Jing, and then invited him to play in the flower house until late at night, venting all his depression.

When we returned to the Nanming Street courtyard, the night was already very dark.

Squeak——

Pushing the door open, there is a large courtyard of nearly fifty square meters.

Go inside and put on the newly crafted heavy armor.

The weight of this set of heavy armor has increased a lot, reaching [-] kilograms, and the weight distribution is more even.

In order to build this set of heavy armor, he spent 800 taels of silver.

Fortunately, I got a lot of silver from Lai Mao and Lai Chang and bought heavy armor and some necessities. Lin Zheyu still had about [-] silver.

It was enough to take him a while.

Putting on the heavy armor, Lin Zheyu began to exercise.

The fist blasted out, the fist wind roared, and combined with the punch force on the body, the power was amazing.

It had just rained in the afternoon, and there were several pools of water accumulated in the yard.

The bright moonlight fell, and the water on the ground reflected a silvery white light.

Time passed slowly.

More than an hour later, Lin Zheyu stopped and lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

【Heaven rewards hard work】

Name: Lin Zheyu
Source Power: 63
skill:
The secret method of boiling blood (perfection)
Against the Chaos and Forbidden Law (Perfection)
Miraculous body skills (100th level [-]%)

Jin Yan Gong (100% on the tenth level)

He looked at the data in his consciousness and saw that he had accumulated 63 units of source power.

In more than a month, the spiritual body technique has been cultivated to a perfect level.

Lin Zheyu has already begun to try to integrate the agile movement and Jin Yan Kung.

But the progress is a bit slow.

He estimated that without the use of Yuanli, it might take several years to fully integrate the two techniques.

Lin Zheyu was not in a hurry to use source power to fuse.

It is best to accumulate the source power at the moment, and after finding the technique, use it directly to break through the Qi and Blood Long Dragon realm.

"You have 63 units of source power. After you get the technique, you may be able to directly upgrade to the Qi and Blood Long Dragon realm."

Lin Zheyu said secretly.

What he is a little confused about now is whether he should continue to search in the black market to see if he can find a technique that can cultivate him to the Qi and Blood Long Dragon Realm.

After you find the technique and break through to the marrow training realm, you can join the sect.

The cultivation after the Marrow Realm involves 'momentum' and 'intention', which cannot be improved through source power.

Lin Zheyu needs to accumulate life experience and martial arts experience through experience and form his own unique martial arts beliefs.

This process takes several years, or even more than ten years.

It will be much more convenient if you join the sect after reaching the Marrow Training Realm.

There is no need to worry about the speed at which your strength increases is too shocking, you dare not expose it, and you are unable to obtain the next level of cultivation techniques.

"Don't worry, Lieyang Sect is not the best choice for me. The time for other sects to earn income has not yet come."

"In comparison, the Niu Demon Sect in Wu'an City is more suitable than the Lieyang Sect."

"In terms of strength, the Niu Demon Sect is not weaker than the Lieyang Sect. In terms of history, the Niu Demon Sect was born out of the Tiansheng Sect and has a long history."

"I just don't know how many books the Tiansheng Sect still has in the Niu Mo Sect." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He originally planned to join the top sects.

After asking around, I found that the top sects had no shortage of talented disciples.

They only recruit disciples under the age of 13, and background checks are extremely strict.

Lin Zheyu has already exceeded his age and is not eligible to join.

However, even if he could join, he was hesitant.

The top sect forces all have Xiantian realm warriors in charge.

After cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique to a perfect level, it is theoretically possible to hide it from the master-level experts.

But without testing it, Lin Zheyu felt a little unsure when facing a master-level warrior, let alone a Xiantian-level warrior.

Xiantian realm warriors, as strong men at the pinnacle of martial arts, with Lin Zheyu's strength, trying to hide them from them by relying on the Turtle Breathing Technique is tantamount to wishful thinking.

If he joins a sect with Xiantian realm warriors in charge, he won't dare to use his source power to improve without restraint.

If you accidentally expose your secret, you will be in trouble.

The secret that allows warriors to quickly increase their strength in a short period of time is probably something that even innate warriors will be interested in and can't help but covet.

……

……

Time flies, and another seven days have passed.

Lin Zheyu went to the Wuling City black market two days ago and searched around, but still found nothing.

In the black market, there are many qi and blood realm techniques, but they can only be practiced to the fourth qi and blood transformation, and there are no techniques that can be practiced above the fifth qi and blood transformation.

There are many techniques to practice the marrow realm, but they are all ridiculously expensive.

A copy of the Marrow Realm Exercises cost more than 2000 taels of silver, and Lin Zheyu was reluctant to buy it.

He doesn't have much silver left, so he needs to use it sparingly.

Whether it is buying exercises, buying tonics, or joining a sect, there are many things that require money.

"Xiao Hei has been wandering in the mountains and forests for almost two months, so he should be very familiar with the mountains and forests."

"It's time to start hunting to earn money and accumulate silver."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

For more than a month, he went out of the city many times to visit Xiaohei, worried that something might happen to him.

However, this little guy lived a very prosperous life. Not only did he not have any accidents, he also gained weight.

dong dong~
dong dong dong~
There was a sudden knock on the door in the yard.

"Brother Lin, are you there?" a familiar voice sounded.

There was a bit of boldness in the rough voice, and the person who came was none other than Wang Jing.

During the time that Lin Zheyu came to Wuling City, he met several warriors who, like him, came from other places and planned to learn from them.

But those people were all acquaintances, and they were only relatively familiar with Wang Jing.

"What wind brought you here?"

"Come, sit inside."

Lin Zheyu opened the door and said with a smile.

On weekdays, he always met Wang Jing at Chongwu Tower, and the other party rarely came to look for him.

"Hey, you know what I got?"

Wang Jing came to the courtyard and sat down, and said mysteriously.

"Don't be a fool, come and listen to me!"

"Which sect has relaxed its requirements for accepting disciples?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"No, how is this possible."

"Recruiting disciples is a big deal, it is related to the inheritance of the sect. How can we relax the assessment requirements."

Wang Jing rolled his eyes, shook his head and said.

He did not sell out and continued: "In three days, the Li family will hold an auction, and a lot of good things will be leaked."

"I heard there are some powerful exercises, are you interested?"

"Yes, why not!"

Lin Zheyu was overjoyed when he heard this.

He had been searching for skills in the black market for so long, but he still couldn't find any skills that could cultivate Qi and Blood Dragon.

Obviously, the circulation of these exercises has been restricted.

Genius warriors among the people cannot grow by purchasing skills on the black market. They can only join a powerful sect.

If you don't join the sect, you can only practice ordinary Qi and Blood Realm techniques, and you can break through to the Marrow Training Realm after the Four Transformations of Qi and Blood.

In this way, no matter how talented you are, the Four Transformations of Qi and Blood can break through the Marrow Training Realm, but there won't be much potential in the future.

"How can I get in? Do I need qualifications?"

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but ask.

He knew that there were many auctions that required qualifications to enter, and it was not something that could be entered casually.

After coming to Wuling City for so long, he had never even heard of an auction being held anywhere.

Obviously, this is because Lin Zheyu has no relevant social circle and no way to obtain information.

"You need an invitation to get in."

"But don't worry, if there's no way to get in, I won't come looking for you."

"My third uncle has some friendship with the Li family, and they gave him a lot of invitations. I asked for these two from my third uncle."

Wang Jing took out two invitations from his arms, shook them, and said with a smile.

In fact, there were more than two, and he gave several to other people, all of whom were potential warriors.

Wang Jing was born in a noble family in the North and knew how to give favors and build relationships and make friends with talented warriors.

As long as one or two of these warriors can join those large sects, they will be able to bring considerable help when they grow up.

"Thank you!"

Lin Zheyu said solemnly.

He put the invitation away and then asked with a smile: "Since your family has some connections in Wuling City, why don't you put it into practice and see if you can join the sect you want to join?"

"Not enough."

"I don't like what works, and what I like doesn't work." Wang Jing said depressedly.
