Qiandu is the capital of Daqian.
Looking to the east, you can see a towering pass and a huge palace on it. Above the palace is a staircase leading straight to the sky. It seems that if you go up these stairs, you can touch the sun in the sky.
Although the houses in the city are not as tall as those in Dragon Palace City, they are neat and clean. There are many luxurious buildings with ornate beams and painted rafters on both sides of the spacious streets. There are shops, restaurants, drug stores, tailors, and everything needed for daily life and entertainment.
The city is bustling with people, with streets and alleys crisscrossed and carriages and horses rubbing against each other. People are busy shuttling between the streets and alleys, which shows the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is not a big deal that there are so many people in this city. The Blood Knife Hall used to be in Ji State and had seen crowded cities before. However, this city with so many flowers and vigorous vitality is something he has never seen before.
Even in Dayan, you can't see such a scene.
However, this has nothing to do with the disciples of the Blood Knife Hall.
On the street, six people from the Blood Knife Hall squatted on the corner, looking at the mortals who were running around like water on the street, with blank eyes and dull expressions.
Gulp—
The stomachs of several of them even rumbled like thunder, and it was obvious that they were hungry.
A horse was walking straight ahead with cargo on it. It was obvious that it was a pedestrian who had just entered the city. He passed by them and suddenly stopped. He looked over with a surprised look, as if he had seen something rare.
After taking a few more glances, he couldn't help but ask, "Everyone, are you having any troubles? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Bah! How dare a mortal like you control us!"
A Blood Blade Hall disciple spat, "Don't bother with it, just go away!"
"Hey, you, I'm asking you kindly, why are you saying such bad things? You have hands and feet but you don't work. If you were new here, I would have thought there were still beggars in Qiandu!"
The mortal snorted coldly: "How can we find people like you in Qiandu, the best place in the world?!"
After saying that, he glared at these people, ignored them, and walked forward leading the horse.
"You bastard, we are practicing Qi"
The Blood Knife Hall disciple stood up and was about to curse when he saw the mortal swing his hands. With a crisp "clang" sound, several copper coins spun a few times on the ground before falling to the ground.
"Take it and fill your stomach!" The voice of a mortal sounded in front.
“This man is abominable!”
The other Blood Blade Hall disciples stood up angrily, pointing at the mortal and cursing, "How could we, the Blood Blade Hall disciples,..."
Gulp—
"Like a beggar"
Gulp—
"We are not beggars! You, a mortal, dare to insult us. I will remember this grudge and will avenge you one day!"
A disciple shouted angrily, then squatted on the ground to pick up the copper coins. He counted them and was overjoyed, "Six!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other disciples gathered around, looking excited.
"There are six!"
"Each person can eat two big steamed buns!"
"Brother, we can eat now!"
The disciple turned around and said happily to the only person squatting there.
But the man didn't even raise his head, but was writing furiously on the notebook with one hand.
"Brother?"
The disciple leaned over curiously.
I saw my senior brother writing on the booklet, and the entire booklet was filled with words.
On March 21st, the clerk of Duanxiong City in Daqian attacked me by surprise.
On March 22, the governor of Duanxiong City put me in jail.
On April 1st, Zhang Feixuan from the Golden Immortal Sect whipped me.
On May twelfth, the Dragon King of Ryugu City looked down on me.
On June 13th, Zhang Feixuan from the Golden Immortal Sect laughed at me.
On June 14, Wanyan Gu, leader of the Lishi clan, humiliated me.
On June 15th, I was beaten by the Qiandu Guard and it hurt a lot.
…
He wrote down everything from top to bottom, from the date to what happened.
And now he was adding a new one.
July 21st, the common people of Daqian regard us as beggars.
Pop.
After he finished writing, he closed the book and said, "I will remember this humiliation!"
There are four big characters on the cover of this booklet - Pay it back tenfold.
This booklet records what happened after he came to Daqian. In order to avoid forgetting things, he made a small booklet and wrote them down one by one.
When he grows up, he will repay these hatreds tenfold!
Luo Gongye arrived in Qiandu with Zhang Feixuan a month ago. He thought that after arriving in Qiandu, he could establish his own sect.
But Zhang Feixuan said that the senior brother had not come out yet and asked them to wait here.
Just wait. This place is prosperous, crowded, and has many opportunities for cultivation. It’s not impossible.
But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Feixuan said that they couldn't do anything and had to wait here until that senior brother came out of seclusion.
Luo Gongye naturally wanted to fight back, but that was all.
The most powerful one is only at the third level, so naturally he cannot defeat someone who has reached the ninth level.
Since they cannot practice, they can just wait. The local governor is quite polite to them and provides them with good food and drink.
But before they had eaten for a whole day, a man named Wanyan Gu suddenly broke in.
He said that he had been self-reliant and had built up his fortune by carrying bags for others, so why should they be able to eat and drink well just because they came
Luo Gongye was naturally indignant, so he stepped forward to argue, and then... nothing happened.
This Lishi clan figure named Wanyan Gu is also at the ninth level.
So they were driven out the next day and ordered not to leave the city, and were forced to fend for themselves here.
Being self-reliant, isn't that just doing things for mortals
They are Qi Refiners, how can they tolerate such an insult!
At that time, he was ready to kill a few mortals and escape directly, so as not to suffer the humiliation in Daqian anymore.
Then they were beaten by the guards.
That was a real fight!
A dozen crabs surrounded them, and those mortals in uniforms were holding terrifying muskets that could emit light beams, and then they were holding iron rods and hitting them one by one.
I don't know what the iron rod is made of, and it feels different every time I hit it.
Some felt as if the blood in their bodies was flowing backwards, some had bone pains, some had dizziness, and some even felt a chill and pain from the beatings, and stayed in pain for several days.
They couldn't leave and couldn't rob, so they could only hang out on the streets of Qiandu. It was easy to get enough food here, as workers were being recruited everywhere, and one could get enough food by doing anything.
But they are Qi Refiners, how can they do this? !
Wouldn't that be the opposite of Tiangang
So they relied on their tenacity to hold on until now. In the beginning, there were some mortals who came to ask them with good intentions, but they were all scolded away. In desperation, some of them threw some food, some threw some money, and they managed to survive.
But over time, those mortals couldn't stand the dirty talk of these people anymore and began to ignore them.
Like the mortal just now, he obviously just arrived, otherwise he wouldn't have lost their money.
"Brother, please stop insulting me. Let's fill our stomachs first. We are too hungry to eat." The disciple complained.
Qi Refiners also need to eat. At the beginning, they could still scold mortals, but they haven’t eaten for several days. Who cares about being humiliated or not? Filling their stomachs is the most important thing.
Luo Gongye snorted coldly, and just as he stood up, he began to stagger.
He was even hungrier than his fellow apprentices. At the third level of combat power, food supplements were extremely important during the period of training and increasing strength.
"I want to eat four!" said Luo Gongye.
Blood Blade Hall disciple: “…”
You do nothing every day, and they are the ones who pick up your money. Sometimes you are so hungry that you go out for a walk and they take the food given to you with a smile. And you are the one who is humiliated here all day long.
The result is that I have to eat more
But what can we do? This is their senior brother.
A group of people walked towards a steamed bun shop. Just after they paid the money and picked up the steaming white flour buns, smelling the unique aroma of the buns, Luo Gongye could not wait to put the buns to his mouth when a voice rang in his ears.
“Found it!”
A streak of blood flashed away quickly, and the air waves it created spread among the six people, making their hair fly. If their hands were unsteady, the steamed buns they had just picked up would be blown away.
Just as Luo Gongye was about to reach out his hand, his wrist was grabbed by a hand.
"Come with me, the eldest brother has come out of seclusion!"
Zhang Feixuan appeared in front of them, and without caring about the mortals around him seeing him and greeting him, he grabbed the person and left.
Luo Gongye saw the steamed bun fall to the ground and roll on the ground before being picked up by other fellow disciples and hurriedly stuffed into their mouths, while his body was pulled away uncontrollably.
All he could do was cry out in sorrow, "My buns!"
