"Wei family?"
Tilting his head, Qin Shi groaned in confusion.
Luo Xuexian's lips and teeth were trembling, and she didn't reply for a while. She just handed Qin Shi the crumpled mercenary diary in her hand.
After taking the diary, Qin Shi unfolded it and scanned the densely packed small handwriting on it. However, the further he looked back, the deeper his frown deepened. The record of the last task was very clear, that is, at any cost, as long as Luo Xuexian died.
When looking at the word "death", Qin Shi pursed his lips, a little confused, how could a little woman cause such trouble? Question: "Miss Xuexian, what kind of hatred do you have with the Wei family? Are you willing to spend a lot of money to find someone to deal with you?"
Luo Xuexian hesitated, and her eyes flashed coldly: "I am dissatisfied with Mr. Qin. Our Luo family and Wei family are the two major families in Hongyun City. The two families use the center of the city as the boundary, and each controls things!"
"Hiss... two big families?"
Taking a breath of air, Qin Shi was a little shocked, the two major families in Hongyun City
This was something Qin Shi never expected. Although he had known for a long time that the Luo family was powerful, how could he actually surpass one-half of Hongyun City? That's no joke.
Hongyun City is not a third-tier city like the ancient city that can look down upon it. It is one of the five first-tier cities in the northern region of the empire, and is there any reason for it to be weak
"It seems that I still underestimate the Luo family!" Qin Shi sighed inwardly, raised his hand and brushed the hair covering his eyes, and asked: "Then why does the Wei family want to attack you?"
Luo Xuexian rolled her eyes, fixed the date on the mercenary diary, and said, "I think it must be related to the purgatory competition that takes place every twenty years."
"Purgatory competition?"
Licking his lower lip, Qin Shi was a little surprised.
"Well, in the center of Hongyun City, there is a mysterious iron tower that is thousands of years old. This iron tower is called the Purgatory Tower." Luo Xuexian pursed her red lips slightly and said: "The Luo family and the Wei family, every two years In ten years, three juniors will emerge to compete, and the winner will gain control of the Purgatory Tower for twenty years."
Speaking of this, Luo Xuexian paused, pinched her trousers hard with her pink fist, and cursed angrily: "There are only four juniors in our Luo family who can participate in the competition. As a result, my eldest brother went on an expedition not long ago and was severely punished. The mysterious man chased me and I was seriously injured.”
"Seeing that the Purgatory Competition will be held in a month, the only people who can participate now are my second brother, third brother, and me. As long as the Luo family gets rid of me, the Wei family will be able to compete in this Purgatory Competition without fighting. And prevailed.”
"So that's it..."
"Now it seems that my eldest brother's injury was probably caused by the Wei family, these bastards who will do whatever it takes to gain power!" At this point, Luo Xuexian bared her teeth in indignation and cursed.
After learning what happened, Qin Shi nodded, not surprised.
This kind of competition for fame and wealth is not uncommon among families, and he has long been used to it.
I think back then, in a small deserted town, the Qin family, the Yang family, the Nie family, and the three major families could fight to the death, let alone a first-tier city like Hongyun City
However, he is more curious now, what is this 'Purgatory Tower'
After thinking for a while, Qin Shi straightened the corners of his wrinkled clothes and asked, "Miss Luo, what is the use of controlling the Purgatory Tower? Why do you two pay so much attention to it?"
Upon hearing about the Purgatory Tower, Luo Xuexian was subconsciously vigilant, and the hand holding her trouser clips shone with a faint aura. She soon realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly blushed, reproaching herself: "Mr. Qin, I made you laugh. "
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Shi shook his head. This kind of vigilance is human instinct. He did not care about Luo Xuexian.
Luo Xuexian hesitated, with a trace of longing in her eyes, and said: "The Purgatory Tower is divided into ten floors. It has a particularly magical effect, which is that it can purify the spiritual power of the world and become extremely pure. Cultivate in the tower , it can even achieve the effect of three autumns every day.”
"Oh? So magical?"
Qin Shi opened his mouth unexpectedly.
Three autumns have passed, what is the concept? Even the Burning Heaven Secret Realm with pure spiritual power can only reach several times that of the outside world at most. It seems that the control of this Purgatory Tower is indeed very important.
As long as there is this Purgatory Tower, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate batches of strong men
No wonder this Hongyun City is a first-tier city.
"The Wei family has been elected to use the Purgatory Tower for two consecutive terms, for a full forty years, so I only heard about it..." Luo Xuexian bowed her head, paused at this point, and said proudly: " However, in my grandfather’s generation, when the Luo family controlled the Purgatory Tower, the Luo family had three strong men in the Mysterious Spirit Realm!”
"Hiss... three Xuanling realms?"
This lineup is indeed worthy of attention.
"Well, this time, the Luo family must obtain the right to use the Purgatory Tower. I will never let these sinister villains succeed!" Luo Xuexian said stubbornly.
Qin Shi nodded, cast a trusting look, and then asked again: "By the way, what is the origin of this Purgatory Tower?"
Luo Xuexian was stunned and shook her head: "I don't know. No one knows the origin of the Purgatory Tower. I just heard that it was already standing here when Hongyun City was established..."
"Huh? No one knows?"
Qin Shi was surprised again and thought to himself: "Is it another ancient thing?"
"Well, because each floor in the Purgatory Tower has strong pressure, each floor is more powerful than the other. So far, only the highest number of people has reached the ninth floor of the Purgatory Tower, but no one has ever been able to set foot on the tenth floor. "
Luo Xuexian nodded and said: "So some people say that as long as you can step onto the tenth floor, you can know the origin of the Purgatory Tower."
"Is it the tenth floor?" Qin Shi became more and more curious about the Purgatory Tower, but due to his status as an outsider, he was embarrassed to ask more questions. He could only lean against the ancient trees in the forest and let the mottled light shine. The spots penetrated the branches and leaves of the soil and scattered on the body.
Speaking of this, Luo Xuexian suddenly slapped her forehead, hurriedly took Qin Shi's hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Qin, look at me, you are my and Tingting's benefactor, I really neglect you, if you If you don’t mind it, just come to Luo’s house and sit down, so that we can also fulfill our friendship as landlords.”
Qin Shi would definitely not refuse this. After all, he was homeless now, and he was also very curious about this Purgatory Tower.
But before leaving, he still had some things to do. He raised his hand to signal Luo Xuexian and Luo Tingting to wait a moment, and walked alone towards Ye Kuang, who died tragically.
Walking to Ye Kuang's side, Qin Shi tilted his head and his eyes fell on the animal taming ring on his wrist: "Hey, brother, since you are dead, I will keep this thing for you."
After collecting the beast taming ring, Qin Shi took off Ye Kuang's space ring.
After a brief review, this Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is indeed one of the three major mercenary groups in Hongyun City. There are more than two hundred high-grade spiritual stones, more than a dozen third-grade spiritual grasses, and a mess of middle-grade spiritual grasses. There are countless spiritual stones.
"Haha, now I've made a fortune." Qin Shi shrugged. He had done this kind of thing too many times. He smiled calmly, then turned around and looked at Luo Xuexian.
At this time, the two of them were staring at me in stunned silence, wiping their faces in confusion and saying, "Well, why do you all look at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"No...it's okay!"
Luo Xuexian came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head, but her eyes were vaguely glanced at Qin Shi.
There were constant thoughts in her mind.
When he was fighting Ye Kuang just now, Qin Shi's angular appearance when he was serious, and his firm and resolute look seemed like a twinkling star.
But at this time, he can act like such a gangster.
"What an interesting person." Luo Xuexian thought to herself with a smile on her pretty face.
After everything was done, the three of them stood up and headed towards Hongyun City.
On the way, Luo Tingting clung to Qin Shi, and the three of them stayed together in the forest for two hours. It was already midnight, and the stars in the night were blinking. Qin Shi and Luo Xuexian considered Luo Tingting's young age and did not stay together all night. He was on his way and instead found a place to rest under a tree.
Sitting down, Qin Shi gathered some dry firewood, supported the fire between the three of them, and then struck out with the Xiantian Fist to dispel the darkness of the night.
The three of them spent a peaceful night around the fire.
One early night, fireflies dragged their green light through the mountains and forests and among the bushes.
…
The next day, early morning.
The morning dew has just set, and the rare night-blossom fragrance is revealed among the flowers.
A ray of rich morning light dispersed and fell on Luo Xuexian's beautiful eyes, making her eyelids twitch and she opened her eyes slightly.
"Are you awake?" Qin Shi shouted. He got up very early. Breathing out the essence of heaven and earth in the early morning has become his practice habit. No matter how tiring the night is, he will definitely open his eyes in the east the next day. .
Luo Xuexian was stunned: "You got up so early."
"I'm used to it." Qin Shi smiled but did not explain.
In the past year, he has not mentioned this hard work to anyone, but it is this persistence in hard work that has enabled him to achieve today's results.
In the process of cultivation, talent is important, but hard work is also an indispensable element.
Luo Tingting got up relatively late. After all, she was a child. She didn't open her hazy eyes until noon.
In the few hours before she opened her eyes, Qin Shi had always maintained his martial arts state. Luo Xuexian was standing next to her with wide-open peach blossom eyes, looking at Qin Shi curiously without blinking.
She was moved by this perseverance: "What kind of person is this?"
When Luo Tingting woke up, the three of them continued towards Hongyun City.
It was about thirty kilometers from the mountain forest to Hongyun City. When the scorching sun approached the mountains in the west again and the sunset was infinitely beautiful, the three of them arrived at Hongyun City.
"This... is so spectacular..."
Stepping out of the woods, Qin Shi was shocked by the sight in front of him.
The city wall of Hongyun City appeared in front of him, standing unswervingly, fully ten meters high, and its size was beyond the reach of dozens of streets in the ancient city.
Within the city wall, there are even more beautiful buildings full of beautiful buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, each of which Qin Shi has never seen before.
"Master Qin, let's go into the city." Luo Xuexian did not look down upon Qin Shi's surprise. She just smiled very reservedly and walked into Hongyun City.
Entering Hongyun City, the guards guarding the city saw Luo Xuexian and Luo Tingting, and they showed respectful expressions. From this, it can be seen that the Luo family's status in Hongyun City is really unpredictable.
But before he had gone far, a handsome man walked towards him.
When the handsome man saw Luo Xuexian, he suddenly looked excited: "Xuexian..." But halfway through the words, his eyes glanced at Qin Shi, and suddenly he changed 360 degrees and became cold: "Who is he?"
ps: Happy birthday to little An Ruoxi! Let’s all wish Sa!
