Seeing the three big men walking away arm in arm, Duan Li said angrily: "The leader is called Niu Pang, the man on the left is called Zhu Chong, and the man with the sharp mouth is called Hou Qiang. The three bad guys are among the outer disciples. Bully, don't provoke them in the future... Oh, by the way, this spiritual field was originally owned by Zhu Chong, and he might be resentful if it was released for you to cultivate!"
Chu Jun frowned and said, "How strong are they?"
"Niupang is a fourth-level physical practitioner. He can punch more than 800 kilograms of force with one punch. Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang are both second-level physical practitioners!" Duan Li said with a solemn expression.
"Eight hundred kilograms of strength!" Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, wouldn't this be enough to blow up a cow with one punch
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Niu Pang has glowed with spiritual roots, and he has vowed to test his spirit after this year's martial arts competition!" Duan Li said enviously.
"Will martial arts test spirits?" Chu Jun asked doubtfully.
Duan Li explained: "The martial arts competition is held every year in our sect. The top ten disciples of the outer sect and the inner sect are rewarded respectively. The purpose is to encourage the disciples to practice diligently. The spirit trial is incidental to the martial arts competition. The activity is used to recruit new inner disciples, and the prerequisite is that they must have spiritual roots!”
Only those with spiritual roots are suitable for cultivating immortals, otherwise they can only cultivate the body. However, some physical cultivators may develop spiritual roots and become suitable for cultivating immortals due to long-term use of spiritual beans. The spiritual roots that emerge are often not very outstanding, but there are no absolutes. The spiritual roots that emerge from a very small number of people will be particularly outstanding, even reaching the first level. The quality of spiritual roots is divided into seven levels, with the first level being the best and the seventh level being the worst.
"Niu Pang claims to have glowed with spiritual roots. I'm afraid it's not groundless. Remember not to offend him!" Duan Li warned with a solemn expression.
The difference between inner disciples and outer disciples is actually the difference between immortal cultivation and physical cultivation. The status of inner disciples is naturally much higher than that of outer disciples. If an outer sect disciple offends an inner sect disciple, his death will be in vain. If an inner sect disciple kills an outer sect disciple for no reason, he will only be punished severely if the circumstances are particularly bad. Otherwise, it will be just a trivial punishment.
"I'll just avoid them from now on!" Chu Jun nodded.
Duan Li returned the hoe to Chu Jun and said: "I have taught you everything that needs to be taught, and I still have to go back to work, so that's it!" After saying that, he patted the dust on his clothes and left in a hurry.
Chu Jun looked at Duan Li's back thoughtfully and said to himself: "I wonder if I have spiritual roots. It would be a good idea to try it out then. The treatment of inner disciples is obviously much higher than that of outer disciples!"
… Dividing line…
It took Chu Jun five days to turn over ten acres of spiritual land. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for a person to cultivate one hundred acres. Just turning over the soil can make a person very tired to death. No wonder Duan Li is only 10 years old. At forty, you get a chrysanthemum face.
Early that morning, Chu Jun got up in high spirits. After practicing the Cold Moon Technique all night, the fatigue from yesterday was gone. After nearly ten days of practice, Chu Jun felt more and more that his speed, power, and physical strength had improved significantly, so he practiced the Linyue Jue with even greater vigor.
Duan Li said that the newly plowed spiritual field should be exposed to the sun for several days to allow the sunlight to kill the pathogenic bacteria in the soil, so Chu Jun planned to go to Wulei City today to sell the three beast crystals and exchange them for some spiritual beans to buy some spiritual worms. Entering the spiritual field, if possible buy a mount, and you can go out for a few laps in the city when you have time.
Wulei City is one of the three major cities in the Ancient Plains Continent. It is controlled by Zhengtianmen. Most of the people living in the city are body cultivators who are dawdling around. There are also some scattered organizations of immortal cultivators. This group of people loves freedom and does not like restraint, so there is no Join any sect. There are three sects in Guyuan Continent, namely Zhengtianmen, Tenghuang Pavilion, and Liefa Sect. Each of the three factions occupied a city, among which Zhengtianmen was the weakest. The three major sects once belonged to the same sect, but later they split into the current three major sects for some unknown reason.
The gate of Zhengtianmen is located on Leiyin Mountain in Wulei City. Chu Jun walked for half an hour from Leiyin Mountain to the commercial area of the city. Pedestrians were coming and going on the street, which was very lively, and there were even people selling various items on the street. Chu Jun walked around the street looking around and stopped in front of a door.
I saw two large gold-lacquered characters on the horizontal plaque - Jiange!
Chu Jun stepped in and was greeted by a sturdy and muscular man with a smile on his face: "Brother, do you want to buy a ready-made sword or make it custom-made?"
When Chu Jun came out of the sword pavilion, there was a three-foot-long broad sword hanging diagonally on his back. It had a copper handle and a black wood sheath. It was simple and elegant, and very charming. Chu Jun sold the three beast crystals for 300 spiritual beans, and the sword spent fifty. After buying the spirit worm, Chu Jun was going to look at the mount and buy one as long as it was not too expensive.
"Chu Jun!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Chu Jun looked up and saw two strong men with swords on their backs standing on the steps. They were brothers Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao.
"Haha, it's really Brother Chu Jun. They all said I saw it right!" Zhang Biao said in surprise.
Chu Jun couldn't help but shout with joy on his face: "Brother Meng, Brother Biao!"
"Is your injury healed?" Zhang Meng patted Chu Jun's shoulder boldly.
Chu Jun grinned and said, "It's all done!"
"Ha, you kid is really lucky. I thought you were dead!" Zhang Biao punched Chu Jun in the chest and continued: "Where are you hanging out now? Why don't you come with our brothers? We are about to go to the gym." The repairman will take over the mission!”
Chu Jun grinned and said: "Farming at Zhengtianmen for the time being!"
Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao looked at each other in shock and said in surprise: "You entered the Zhengtian Sect and became an outer disciple?"
Chu Jun nodded. The Zhang brothers looked at Chu Jun with envy. This boy is so lucky. He will no longer have to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.
Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao heard that Chu Jun wanted to buy a mount, so the two of them volunteered to check it out. Zhang Biao also taught Chu Jun some tips on choosing a mount. The Zhang brothers took Chu Jun to a place that specializes in selling mounts. A dozen gray-feathered cranes were enclosed in the fence, stretching their necks to look at Chu Jun and his group curiously.
"Dear guests, just come to our "Tuo Ding Tian" to buy a mount. Our pig cranes are healthy and strong, with absolutely no hidden injuries. The load capacity will not be less than 300 kilograms. We are a century-old store with quality assurance. You can do it Buy with confidence!" the clerk said proudly.
Chu Jun looked around and found that these gray-feathered cranes were really strong, with their heads raised high, very energetic, and their calls were loud and powerful. Zhang Biao pointed at one of them and said, "Brother Chu, let's get this one. The hair is bright and the bones are strong. It's definitely strong!"
There was a subtle sarcasm in the clerk's eyes, but a look of approval appeared on his face, and he complimented: "This guest has good eyesight!"
Chu Jun is not optimistic about this one. Being big may not necessarily mean it is strong enough, and it may even affect its flight speed and endurance due to its weight. Zhang Biao urged: "Brother Chu, this is the end, you can't go wrong!"
Zhang Meng said: "Let Chu Jun make his own choice. Stop pointing fingers like you are half-assed!"
Chu Jun smiled, turned around and asked the clerk: "Do you only have gray-feathered cranes here?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chu Jun doubtfully, and nodded: "It is true that our store only sells flying mounts like Gray Feather Crane, but I haven't heard of any store selling other types of flying mounts, right?"
Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao had spent some time together with Chu Jun and knew that this guy was sometimes like a stick that didn't understand anything. He hurriedly explained: "The gray-feathered crane has a docile personality and is the only flying spirit beast suitable for being tamed as a mount. Other Those species are either unable to bear heavy loads or are ferocious and untamed. Of course, there are masters who can use force to subdue some high-level spiritual beasts as mounts, but only a very small number of immortal cultivators have this ability. We physical cultivators are wrong. !”
Only then did Chu Jun suddenly realize, he walked straight to a medium-sized gray-feathered crane, flipped up his wings and looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "I want this one!"
Zhang Biao said anxiously: "We can't have this one. It's as short as shit. It might fall down before it even flies into the sky!"
Chu Jun smiled and insisted on buying this gray-feathered crane. The clerk showed approval and said secretly: "I didn't expect this guy to be the one who knows the goods. This gray-feathered crane is indeed the strongest and most durable among the fifteen in the room!"
After some haggling, Chu Jun finally bought the stocky gray-feathered crane for two hundred spirit beans, and the store also gave him a breeding ring as a gift. The clerk put the gray-feathered crane into the breeding ring and handed the breeding ring to Chu Jun with a smile: "Guest, please take it and don't break it. Otherwise, the store will not be responsible for the horse running away!"
Chu Jun happily put the breeding ring on his belt, patted his waist lightly, and the gray-feathered crane appeared in front of him out of thin air. He patted it again and put it away. It was so convenient that Chu Jun could not wait to try riding it right away.
The three of them left "Tuodingtian". Zhang Biao was still complaining that Chu Jun had lost money and asserted that he would definitely regret it in the future. Chu Jun smiled nonchalantly and said: "Although the one I chose is not tall, it is strong enough, with plump and well-proportioned feathers. The most important thing is that the tendons of the wings are thick and well-developed. It is definitely an expert in flying!"
"Haha, Brother Chu is the expert!" Zhang Meng laughed. Zhang Biao refused to admit defeat and asserted that Chu Jun would regret it within three days.
Zhang Meng glared at Zhang Biao, turned around and asked, "Our brothers are planning to go to the union to take over tasks. Are brothers Chu interested in joining?"
Chu Jun shook his head and said: "The soil has just been plowed in the Lingtian field. It will be sown in two days. I really can't spare the time, but it's okay to go to the Physical Training Association with you to see it!"
The Physical Training Union was originally established by several fifth-level physical training practitioners, with the purpose of allowing physical training practitioners to find jobs better. Later, it gradually developed. When the three major factions saw that it was profitable, they sent people to intervene, each sending one person. The inner disciple serves as the chairman of the physical training union, manages daily affairs, and takes half of the commission for each village task.
The physical training guild of Wulei City is located in the center of the city. The main hall covering an area of several hundred square meters has people coming and going. Most of them are looking for jobs to do physical training, and some immortal cultivators come to release tasks. When these immortal cultivators go hunting, they will hire several physical cultivators to act as laborers and human shields. Because the rewards offered by immortal cultivators are generally relatively generous, and hunting with immortal cultivators is safer, physical cultivators are very happy to cooperate with immortal cultivators.
