Chapter 9： 】The March Covenant (Part 1)

poor culture and rich martial arts, if you want to practice fast in the martial arts, you need not only superior talent, but also a panacea, two-pronged approach.

Pills, secret recipes, and weapons, these three are always indispensable things for warriors.

In the land of Shenzhou, everyone practices martial arts, and the consumption of pill is very serious. Therefore, the supply of pill is seriously in short supply and the price is quite high.

Before the seventh realm of martial arts, martial artists focused on body refining in their cultivation, and only needed one kind of pill: Body Tempering Pill.

Body Tempering Pills are low-grade, middle-grade, and top-grade. The lower-grade tempered skin and flesh, the middle-grade tempered muscles and bones, and the upper-grade tempered internal organs correspond to the martial arts of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grade of martial arts.

A low-grade body-tempering pill is worth 300 taels of silver, a middle-grade body-tempering pill is worth 600 taels of silver, and a top-grade body tempering pill is worth 900 taels of silver.

Taking the pill, the speed of cultivation is several times that of direct cultivation. A disciple of ordinary qualifications, taking the pill to practice, the speed is not lower than the speed of direct cultivation of the genius disciple, which shows the importance of the pill.

One body tempering pill is enough for the martial artist to practice for three days. There are many disciples of the outer sect of the Sky Sword Sect. Each person can barely distribute three pill per month, which is only enough for nine days of cultivation.

For the rest of the time, if you want to take the pill for cultivation, you must buy it from the sect. If it is distributed for free, it will be a very huge consumption for the sect. The development of the sect is hundreds of years. Long time, it can't be consumed at all.

Lin Dong’s family is a small, incompetent family. His cultivation is only worthy of the martial arts triple realm, and he is not valued. The family provides only two thousand taels a month.

Two thousand taels of silver, buying a middle-grade body tempering pill, can only buy three, enough for Lin Dong to practice for nine days, plus three free of charge by the sect, one month, Lin Dong takes medicine and practice, only 18 Heaven, therefore, 100 taels of silver is very precious to him.

10,000 taels of silver is equivalent to five times the monthly training cost provided by the family. It is enough to buy 16 middle-grade body tempering pills, plus the free medicines distributed by the sect, enough for Lin Dong to take the pills for more than two months of continuous practice.

"Brother Ma Huang, 10,000 taels of silver, hehe...!" Lin Dong rubbed his hands, his eyes lined up with a smile.

Ma Huang has the cultivation base of the six levels of martial arts. It has been more than five years since entering the sect. He has ordinary qualifications, but his family origin is not small. It is an eight-rank family. The monthly cost for him to practice is ten thousand taels. However, after removing the cost of purchasing the pill for monthly cultivation, there is not much left.

Outer disciples, only after reaching the seventh level of martial arts, can they be eligible to accept sect missions, go out to experience, earn money and martial merit points. Before the seventh level, the only way to make money was to give pointers to some new beginner disciples who had a wealthy family background. Practice.

Generally, only disciples of the fifth and sixth levels of martial arts have this opportunity. After all, the cultivation level is too low and not much better than the new beginner disciple. The new disciple will not stupidly have more money and no place to spend, just ask someone for guidance. .

Although he can earn some silver through cultivating by mentoring new disciples, but losing 10,000 taels is enough for him to lose a lot of money, almost half a month away from buying the medicine.

Ma Huang felt a pain in his heart, scratching his head, and said: "This junior, this...Is the odds a bit too high?"

"Why? Brother Ma Huang, just now you said that you would pay one hundred for one. All the brothers next to you heard it with your own ears. Didn't you want to cheat?" Lin Dong raised his voice by a few points and asked rhetorically.

A few disciples of the fifth and sixth levels of martial arts stunned and laughed: "Senior Brother Ma Huang (senior brother), we all listened to it with our own ears just now. You rely on a martial arts master and disciple in the triple stage of silver, do you still have a face in the future?"

A row of black lines suddenly appeared on Ma Huang’s forehead, but how could he be willing to give him 10,000 taels of silver, a junior in the triple realm of martial arts?

Ma Huang said: "Nonsense, why should I rely on this junior? This junior, you are giving me 100 taels, right? So, how about I return these 100 taels to you... or I will give you 200 taels. Two?"

Seeing the contemptuous glances from the disciples next to him, Ma Huang hurriedly changed his words 200 taels, but his contemptuous glances became more intense.

However, compared to 10,000 taels of silver, despise it, Ma Xu said, anyway, the opponent is just a little disciple in the triple realm of martial arts, can he still trouble himself if he doesn't give it?

"Junior Brother Lin Dong, why are you here, Huangshi?" Suddenly, a voice rang from behind Ma Huang, and Ma Huang turned around and forgot, and was startled. It was Xuantian.

The scene of Xuantian slashing out his sword energy just now, and flying Niu Zhigao into the ring, still lingers in Ma Huang's mind.

"Is this younger brother and Huang Tian brother familiar?" Ma Huang suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Heavenly Sword Sect, senior brother and younger brother, it’s not about age or entry year, but about the level of cultivation.

Xuantian started later than Ma Huang, and he was two years younger, but his cultivation was higher than Ma Huang, so he was Ma Huang’s senior.

"Brother Huang Tian...I heard that the elite disciples were duel, and ran over to take a look. Brother Huang Shi was injured and inconvenient and did not come. This is Brother Ma Huang, he..."

Lin Dong said just now that Ma Huang asked people to bet on who wins and who loses, and owed him 10,000 taels of silver.

After hearing this, Xuantian looked at Ma Huang and said: "I'm very sorry, Junior Brother Ma, I have let you down."

Although the words were casual, but his eyes were cold and cold, Ma Huang shuddered, and quickly shook his head and said: "Not disappointed, not disappointed..."

Xuantian didn’t say a word, but looked at Ma Huang coldly, seeing that Ma Huang’s heart was straight, and he was awakened immediately. He hurriedly took out a handful of silver bills from his arms and counted ten. They were all one thousand taels of cash, and said: "My horse **** is willing to bet and lose, and the brothers who are familiar with me know that my horse **** is the first in gambling. This junior, here is the one thousand tael of cash, please accept it. under!"

said, handing over the ten thousand tael banknote to Lin Dong.

"Thank you, Brother Ma Huang." Lin Dong took it unceremoniously.

Looking at a large number of silver bills in his hand, they are basically one hundred and two bills, but there are only three large bills left. Ma Huang's heart is bleeding, but suffering There was a tragic smile on the funeral face: "It should be, it should be!"

Seeing that Lin Dong had received the cash receipt, Xuantian was about to return to the residence with him to see the condition of his cousin Huangshi. Suddenly there was a commotion in the square.

"Brother Zhang Long!"

"Brother Zhang Long!"

……

……

The shouts are endless.

The densely packed outer disciples on the square actively retreated to both sides, even the outer disciple elites above the seventh level of martial arts are no exception.

One of the influential figures among the outer disciples, Zhang Long, who was ranked in the top three of all outer disciples, appeared.

If the inner disciple is in the clouds for the outer disciple, it is impossible to see it, then, among the outer disciples, the top ten masters are those who see the dragon without seeing the end, and occasionally get one. See, but no matter when, never know where they are.

Zhang Long, who ranked in the top ten in the Outer Disciple Ranking Competition last year, won the eighth place. This year, the top five outer disciples who ranked last year have all stepped into the innate and entered the inner door. Zhang Long has become this year steadily. The existence of the first three.

Zhang Long is seventeen years old this year, his cultivation has reached the tenth stage of martial arts, and he can step into the innate with only one step.

He is wearing a blue shirt, and the shape of a dragon is faintly embroidered on the neck sleeve. At this moment, he is standing tall and proud, striding forward.

Behind Zhang Long, followed by more than a dozen disciples, all of whom were elites among the outer disciples, with a cultivation level of at least seven levels of martial arts, and even the existence of eight levels and nine levels of martial arts.

Where Zhang Long passed, the outer disciples on the square took the initiative to retreat to both sides, giving way to a passage.

Soon, the passage that retreated to both sides spread to Xuantian.

Xuantian did not back away from either side. He knew that Zhang Long's goal was himself.

Niu Zhigao, who fainted to death, had already been fed the healing pill by the previous people. Under Zhang Hu's leadership, everyone carried Niu Zhigao's body and walked over.

"Brother, Brother Niu was severely injured by Huang Tian, ​​you want to avenge us, kill Huang Tian, ​​and make Huang Tian crippled." Seeing Zhang Long, Zhang Hu shouted like a savior.

Zhang Long is a head shorter than Zhang Hu, but his upper body is straight, his head held up and his chest is high. Even when he walks, he does not bend a bit. It is like an unsheathed sword. In terms of momentum, it is much higher than Zhang Hu. Out of it.

Two people standing together will give people the illusion that Zhang Long is taller, and Zhang Hu is shorter than UU Reading .

Seeing Niu Zhigao who was unconscious, Zhang Long's brows were frowned a little, forming a "Chuan" character.

Zhang Long walked ten feet in front of Xuantian and stopped, his gaze was like a knife, staring at Xuantian’s face, and said: "Huang Tian, ​​you are fine!"

sounds like compliment, but the tone is not so, it makes people feel chilling.

Xuantian breathed peacefully, his mood was natural, he was not affected by Zhang Long at all, and said, "Brother Zhang Long, do you want to challenge me and fight me?"

Although Xuantian can now release his sword qi, and is almost equivalent to a martial artist in the eighth level of martial arts, his strength is still somewhat inferior. After all, all that Xuantian cultivates are the middle-rank Huang-level martial arts. Heavenly general Huang Tier high-grade innate skills, leopard shadow technique, and shadow sword technique have been successfully cultivated. At that time, I am afraid that the martial artist of the eighth stage of martial arts may not be his opponent.

But Zhang Long has the cultivation base of the ten levels of martial arts, has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, only one step away, can step into the innate realm, at this moment, Xuantian is temporarily unable to match.

Zhang Long's eyes showed a trace of contempt, and said: "Only you? You are not qualified!"

Xuantian knew that Zhang Long actually wanted to go to the ring with him, and then had a fair fight. Why didn't he want to beat Zhang Long too?

It’s just that it’s not now. At this moment, the timing is wrong. The little white jade sword in the heart of the eyebrows made Xuantian’s cultivation base grow by two levels in a row, and his strength has increased exponentially. Xuantian is very confident. Just give him time to defeat Zhang Long , It’s not a problem at all, and it doesn’t take long.
