Lonely Immortal

This news is somewhat beyond Zhang Zhiwen's expectation, but from this point of view, this reputation is indeed very useful. With reputation, it will naturally be possible to be promoted to a status in the Immortal League. Apart from anything else, if Zhang Zhiwen is promoted to If he is the leader, then he will not have to be controlled by Lin Zhiping and his like, and he will not have to be as difficult as he is now.

However, this reputation must be difficult to obtain, otherwise the Immortal Alliance would not give up this benefit. It can be seen that the ancient battlefield must be a very dangerous place.

Later, Lao Zhao said again: "Brother Zhang, it's actually best for you to improve your cultivation right now, otherwise you may be even more difficult to move forward..."

Zhang Zhiwen was quite surprised by what Lao Zhao said. He did not expect that the Immortal League actually had various restrictions on cultivation. For example, accepting tasks also had cultivation restrictions. Otherwise, even if Zhang Zhiwen gained fame and promotion, Although I have gained some identities, I still can't get any good missions. Similarly, if I want to obtain more resources, I have to reach a certain level of cultivation. Otherwise, if I go to the ancient battlefield, I will be at the bottom. Not only is fame difficult, it's also very dangerous.

But Zhang Zhiwen seems to have no way to improve his cultivation now. He has no money now, and his path has been blocked. He seems to be worse than the old Zhao, because he was a monk at the seventh level of foundation building from the beginning. , he is much better than Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang Zhiwen Zhiwen is only at the third level of foundation building now. With this level of cultivation, no matter what he does, it is the lowest level. However, his status as a first-class disciple actually has no effect. He wants to obtain resources by relying on his status as a first-class disciple. , which has been proven to be unfeasible.

So Zhang Zhiwen now either has to take on some tasks that only Jindan masters can complete, otherwise there is almost nothing he can do, but Zhang Zhiwen is not arrogant enough to take on tasks that only Jindan masters can complete.

Old Zhao also seemed to see Zhang Zhiwen's difficulties, but he couldn't say anything more, because he couldn't protect himself, and he couldn't provide any help to Zhang Zhiwen, so Old Zhao said goodbye to Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen naturally watched the other party leave politely. He knew very well that Lao Zhao could tell him so many things, which was already a huge favor. Naturally, he would not be dissatisfied. No one in this world owes anyone anything.

After Lao Zhao left, Zhang Zhiwen thought about it and decided to go to the Military Machine Hall to take a look at the situation. Because from the news he got from Lao Zhao, if Zhang Zhiwen wanted to turn over, his only chance would be in the Military Machine Hall.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen soon arrived at the Military Machine Hall. There were fewer or almost no people here, and there was only one monk in charge of reception, and he was a middle-aged monk who looked quite depressed.

The middle-aged monk was sitting in the corner dozing off, looking half-dead, and Zhang Zhiwen came in. He didn't notice it yet. He was still leaning on the chair and dozing off with his head down, until Zhang Zhiwen came closer and coughed lightly, The other party suddenly woke up, and then the middle-aged monk saw Zhang Zhiwen.

When he saw Zhang Zhiwen, he was obviously quite surprised, and Zhang Zhiwen also saw clearly the appearance of this man. He also had an unkempt beard, unkempt face, and dull eyes. At this moment, there was even some drool at the corner of his mouth. He looked so sloppy. How does he look like a monk?

Logically speaking, monks should not be so sloppy, because any small spell can make themselves clean and tidy, but this middle-aged monk seems to be too lazy to even do such a thing, and he looks lifeless.

When he saw Zhang Zhiwen, he was a little surprised at first, and then asked in confusion: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Obviously, this middle-aged monk thought that Zhang Zhiwen had gone to the wrong place. After all, Zhang Zhiwen looked clean and did not look like a down-and-out monk, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to a place like the Military Machine Hall.

However, Zhang Zhiwen still politely said to the other party, clasping his fists: "This senior brother, I came here to ask how to get to the ancient battlefield."

The middle-aged monk was obviously a little stunned when he heard this, but soon he came back to his senses and said again: "Are you going to the ancient battlefield?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Zhiwen didn't hesitate, because he had nowhere to go anyway, so he could only go to the ancient battlefield to see what was going on.

"Then do you know where this ancient battlefield is? Is there any danger?" The middle-aged monk asked again. Obviously, he felt that Zhang Zhiwen was probably a new member of the Immortal Alliance. Otherwise, how could ordinary people not know about the ancient battlefield? What place is it? It was an extremely dangerous place. Who would risk their lives on the ancient battlefield?

Although Zhang Zhiwen heard Lao Zhao talk about this ancient battlefield, Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't know the specific situation. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. I wonder if senior brother can tell you in detail?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged monk suddenly showed a look of astonishment. Then he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "So you really don't know, so no wonder you came here. First of all, if you want to go to the ancient battlefield, you must first Sign the life and death certificate. There are generally three types of life and death certificates. One is for ten years, one is for five years, and the third is for three years. Then you take this life and death certificate and you can You can go to the ancient battlefield to report!”

"Life and death situation?" Zhang Zhiwen really didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and Lao Zhao also mentioned this matter.

"Yes, otherwise if you go to the ancient battlefield and run away and become a deserter, wouldn't it be child's play?"

The middle-aged monk continued, "So, if you want to go, you have to think it over carefully."

Zhang Zhiwen really didn't expect things to be like this. Sure enough, the ancient battlefield is not a good place. You have to sign a life and death agreement to go there. No wonder the Immortal Alliance gave up this piece of interest. Such a harsh rule is not acceptable to ordinary people?

"By the way, you should not know what a life and death agreement is, right? Here, take a look first, and then decide whether to go or not!"

The middle-aged monk saw that Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything, and thought that Zhang Zhiwen hesitated, so he took out a life and death agreement and threw it on the table, and then ignored Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen glanced at the life and death agreement on the table. He hesitated for a moment, then he picked up the life and death agreement and read it carefully.

After a while, Zhang Zhiwen finished reading the life and death agreement and knew what was written on it. Zhang Zhiwen also understood more and more in his heart why the Immortal Alliance gave up this piece of interest.

First of all, as the name suggests, this life and death agreement means that life and death are at your own risk, and the Immortal Alliance does not recognize any compensation. This practice is simply outrageous. It means that once a cultivator dies in the ancient battlefield, the sect he originally belonged to will not receive any pension. This is even more shameless than the secular world. In the secular world, if a person goes to join the army and dies on the battlefield, the court will give his family some pension, but the Immortal Alliance does not have it.

Secondly, the life and death agreement is divided into three terms: three years, five years, and ten years. Once the life and death agreement is signed, it means that you cannot leave the ancient battlefield within a limited time. This is not as simple as accepting a task. If you encounter a task that cannot be completed, you can give up in advance, but it is not possible to participate in the ancient battlefield. You must wait until the time is full before you can come back.

Logically speaking, most people would sign a three-year contract first. After all, they don't know much about the ancient battlefield, so the shorter the contract, the better. However, the rewards for the three-year ancient battlefield are very few. After three years, there is only one thousand reputation, which is equivalent to basically maintaining the status of a first-class disciple. Because the reputation points that a first-class disciple needs to consume every year are also about three hundred. If Zhang Zhiwen chooses this kind of life and death contract, then it is the same as not going at all, and he will not get any benefits at all.

But if it is a five-year contract, the time will be longer. Of course, the rewards will also be more. You can get two thousand reputation points! This extra two years will add one thousand reputation points, which seems to be very cost-effective, but you have to know that the ancient battlefield must be very dangerous, and staying one more year will add a little more risk.

Then there is the ten-year contract. The ten-year contract has more rewards, and it directly rewards five thousand reputation points. These five thousand reputation points are four thousand more than the three-year contract, which seems to be very cost-effective.

However, if you pay a little attention to the tricks of this life and death agreement, you will know that it is not so simple, because these reputation points cannot be obtained at once, but you have to wait until the deadline is over before you can get them all.

So even if Zhang Zhiwen goes to the ancient battlefield to serve for ten years, he can only get 5,000 reputation points. To become the head, Zhang Zhiwen needs 10,000 reputation points, which means he needs to stay in the ancient battlefield for 20 years. But the head is just a position controlled by Lin Zhiping and his ilk. If Zhang Zhiwen wants to become the lord, he needs 100,000 reputation points, which means he needs to stay in the ancient battlefield for 200 years!

Two hundred years, who can guarantee that he will not die in the ancient battlefield for 200 years? And dying is equivalent to dying in vain, nothing!

Finally, this life and death agreement has restrictions. Not everyone can sign it. It must meet two points. The first is that the cultivation must reach the foundation-building level. This is more reasonable, because Lao Zhao said that there are no monsters and monsters on the ancient battlefield that are lower than the foundation-building level. If the Qi-refining cultivators go there, it is equivalent to sending themselves to death in vain. The Immortal Alliance is not so stupid. The second point is that the monks must complete three service tasks of the Immortal Alliance before they can officially join the ancient battlefield army.

I don’t know what these three so-called service tasks are. The life and death statement is not mentioned here. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen asked about it. The middle-aged monk was quite surprised to see that he was actually going to the ancient battlefield, but he didn’t say much. He just talked about the three service tasks. Zhang Zhiwen then understood why the other party thought he was a fool, because these three service tasks themselves were very shameless.

What are the three service tasks? Simply put, the monks who want to serve in the ancient battlefield must first obtain the signature of the current sect’s Immortal Alliance branch leader. This is the first service task, which requires Lin Zhiping’s consent, and then Zhang Zhiwen can go to the ancient battlefield. Just this, Zhang Zhiwen felt that the Immortal Alliance was simply too much, but it was too much, what else could Zhang Zhiwen do?

Then the second task is to have a guarantor sign and seal. The Immortal Alliance has set all the rules rigidly. Obviously, the Immortal Alliance must be worried that the monks will run away. In fact, how dare the serving monks run away? But the Immortal Alliance wants the monks to find a guarantor. Once the serving monks run away, the Immortal Alliance can hold the guarantor accountable. In this way, the Immortal Alliance can definitely control the serving monks. It has to be said that the Immortal Alliance can think of anything!

Then there is the third task, and this third task is even more shameless, that is, let the monks kill a hundred foundation-building monsters. After completing it, the monks can obtain the life-and-death certificate. As for where to kill them These hundred foundation-building monsters, the Immortal Alliance have all thought carefully about others, that is, they are far away from the ancient battlefield There is a place called the Ancient Beast Village not far away. That place is actually the place where new recruits get their training. That is, the monks are asked to go there first to kill the monsters. It is called practicing their skills first, and then they sign the certificate of life and death when they are suitable. It won't be too late. In fact, the monks are forced to go to the ancient battlefield, so what else is appropriate and inappropriate? That was just the Immortal Alliance taking this opportunity to take advantage again.

And it’s completely free of charge!

A hundred foundation-building monsters, this is almost equivalent to defeating a hundred foundation-building monks. The task itself is not easy. There is no reward, and all the loot must be handed over. This is simply a death wish. Here you are squeezing the monks!

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what other people thought. Anyway, he felt that this was definitely a very shameless contract. When the middle-aged monk saw Zhang Zhiwen standing silent, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother, I advise you to think twice." , If you don’t really have to, there is really no need to sign this thing!”

Zhang Zhiwen naturally understood this, but he really had no choice, so he remained silent. Therefore, the middle-aged monk couldn't help but sigh again, and then said nothing. Obviously, he also knew where this Immortal Alliance was. , isn’t he in it?

But Zhang Zhiwen doesn’t quite understand. If it’s reasonable to say that such a situation exists here in the Immortal League, then it’s impossible for the Ancient Battlefield to rely entirely on the disciples of the Immortal League, right? So where did the other monks come from? Zhang Zhiwen is really curious about this. Are monks from other places also desperate? Maybe.

He now has a clearer understanding of the Immortal Alliance. This Immortal Alliance almost firmly controls all the resources of Tianshui Fairyland, and unscrupulously squeezes other low-level monks. Even a first-class disciple like Zhang Zhiwen must He was trampled hard by the Immortal Alliance and suppressed wantonly.

But Zhang Zhiwen also knew very well that he was completely incapable of resisting, at least not at all for now. Thinking back to when he first came to Tianshui Wonderland, he thought he could hide in a corner and practice quietly. In fact, he didn't have the ability to resist at all. It's impossible, because even if he is still in the Xuan Dan Sect, can the Xuan Dan Sect escape the control of the Immortal Alliance? Along the way, which one did Zhang Zhiwen want to do voluntarily? They were all forced out!

Therefore, all this is based on strength. If Zhang Zhiwen is a master of Jindan today, then he still needs to worry about these things? He could just go directly and take on the tasks that the masters of the golden elixir could complete. Why did it end up like this?

But no matter what, if he wants to survive, Zhang Zhiwen has to face these things. The first thing he has to face is that damn Lin Zhiping. If Lin Zhiping doesn't agree, then he may not even have a chance to serve in the ancient battlefield. !
