"Why are you two following me? Do you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of your gods?"

"This friend looks a little unfamiliar. Are you from Qinghua County?" the tall man in gray asked.

"What does this have to do with you?" Zhou Qing frowned, "Don't follow me anymore."

"Why do we have to be so distant? We are all warriors, and meeting each other is fate. Why don't we go have a drink together?" said the tall man in gray.

"My friend has just arrived, and maybe we can help him if he has any difficulties."

Zhou Qing showed impatience, but finally agreed, and his heart was very calm.

The first step of the plan to enter the fog has been achieved.

An Lang's intelligence showed that the Tianmu Sect was very eager for warriors and monks, and would not miss such an opportunity if there was any hope of winning them over.

Liang Hai and his companions were discovered by the Tianmu Sect and then recruited into the sect.

In a high-end teahouse in Qinghua County, three people were sitting in a private room and chatting.

Coming to the teahouse was Zhou Qing's special request.

During the conversation, Zhou Qing learned that the tall man in gray was named Wang Hao, and the thinner one was named Li Zhe.

"Jia Ming, from Baihua County."

Zhou Qing gave his name. Who would use his real name when he ventured into the martial arts world? Of course he used a fake name! "Baihua County is not close to Qinghua."

"It's been several years since I came out."

Wang Hao and Li Zhe were very enthusiastic and kept finding things to talk to Zhou Qing. The atmosphere gradually became warmer and the relationship between the three people became much closer.

"Brother Jia, you are a warrior. Why are you wandering around instead of enjoying your life in your hometown?" Li Zhe asked.

Zhou Qing sighed deeply, "My cultivation has stagnated and there is no hope of a breakthrough. I can only come out to see if there is any chance, but unfortunately I got nothing."

"I wonder what kind of cultivation Brother Jia has?"

Wang Hao said: "To avoid offending others, my brother and I will first talk about our cultivation. Both of us are at the minor stage of the Skin and Flesh Realm."

"I started practicing martial arts when I was twelve years old. I'm already twenty-nine now, and I'm still at the Great Perfection of the Skin and Flesh Realm. It's not worth mentioning."

Zhou Qing is talking nonsense.

Wang Hao and Li Zhe looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

"Brother Jia is really talented."

“…”

It took him seventeen years of training to reach the peak of the Flesh and Skin realm. Does that mean he has quite a lot of talent among you?

If I really have nothing to say, you can just compliment me on my handsomeness, there's no need to be so awkward.

"Brother Jia, do you have any idea about the state of tendons and veins now?"

Zhou Qing shook his head, "This trip to Qinghua is to see if there is any opportunity."

Wang Hao laughed, "Then Brother Jia, you have come to the right place."

"We know of an opportunity that can help someone break through to the tendon realm."

Zhou Qing immediately sneered, "Don't say such things. If you really knew about this opportunity, would it still be Jia's turn?"

"I have been traveling all over the country for many years and have experienced such things before. Do you two want to take my life?"

"How could my brother and I be the kind of villains who would plot to harm their friends?" Li Zhe continued.

"Brother Jia can get this opportunity without taking any risks."

Wang Hao said with a serious expression: "Brother Jia, please allow me to introduce you to our god, the omnipotent and great being: the Goddess."

"As long as you believe in the goddess and work for her, she will give you rewards. Then, it will be easy for Brother Jia to advance to the realm of tendons and veins!"

"A crooked and evil path." Zhou Qing shook his head. "There are no gods in the world. If there really were such a good thing, there would be no need to practice."

After saying that, Zhou Qing stood up and prepared to leave. Wang and Li looked at each other and stood up to try to keep him.

"How dare we two deceive Brother Jia? In this huge Qinghua County, the goddess is believed in everywhere. If there were no miracles, how could the goddess be so respected?"

"This is the gift of the goddess. Brother Jia will know that what we said is true after seeing it."

"This is the power of the goddess. Just taking a breath can benefit your body. Brother Jia, can you feel it?"

Wang Hao and Li Zhe both had very enjoyable expressions on their faces at this moment, and Zhou Qing also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I do feel that my body has become stronger..."

In fact, Zhou Qing used the power of his soul to isolate the power of the red crystal and did not refine it at all.

You don't even know if something is poisonous or not, how can you risk inhaling it into your body?

"The goddess has infinite power and might. Brother Jia, do you believe us now?" Wang Hao said with a smile, "Brother Jia, don't think about robbing. My Tianmu Sect has many people and power. Even if you steal the treasure, you can't get away."

"How about it? Do you want to worship the goddess with us?"

Zhou Qing was silent for a while, then said, "Let me think about it."

"Okay, when Brother Jia has thought it through, you can come here to find us."

Wang Hao gave an address, and Zhou Qing and An Lang compared their information and found that it was not the location of the Tianmu Sect's stronghold.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The two men paid the money and left the teahouse first, but they did not go far. Instead, they found a place to stare at Zhou Qing.

"Brother Wang, will this Jia agree?"

"Of course. Which warrior can resist the temptation of breakthrough? Over the years, aren't there many people who joined us because they couldn't break through?"

Wang Hao's face showed a cold expression, "But if he really disagrees, then we have to find someone to deal with him."

"I hope he'll be more sensible."

"I'm afraid he's struggling right now." Li Zhe chuckled and said, "I'll go back first. Brother Wang, you stay here and watch."

Zhou Qing is now...drinking tea, feeling quite comfortable.

It’s a free drink, not a waste.

The goddess of heaven must be "believed in", otherwise it will be impossible not to "believe in" her.

This is the best way for Zhou Qing to understand the information of the Tianmu Sect's stronghold and even solve the problem. Although Liang Hai and others were captured, they really didn't confess anything and were very tough. In addition, the Tianmu Sect also used methods to inflict damage to their souls.

That's why Jia Ming needed to go deep behind enemy lines.

But we also have to give Jia Ming some time to think, right? We have to fully show Jia Ming's inner struggle and unwillingness, but also his helplessness towards the pressure of reality.

In the end, you can only fall into the abyss step by step, and you can never turn back or get ashore.

"Young Master, you are so bad." An Lang's voice rang out.

"How do you talk?"

"But I like it very much."

“…”

You green tea ghost, you are trying to play this trick, right?

"Jia Ming" finally couldn't withstand the temptation of breaking through the realm and succumbed.

Zhou Qing went to the address Wang Hao and the others told him. After seeing Li Zhe, Zhou Qing asked seriously:

"I don't believe in gods, but I know which force you belong to."

"If I join you, can I really break through to the tendon realm?"

Li Zhe laughed enthusiastically, "Of course, as long as Brother Jia is devout and devoted to the goddess, how difficult will it be to break through the realm?"

"With Brother Jia's strength, some contributions will be easy to come by."

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded seriously, "Then from now on, I am a follower of the goddess."

"I am willing to serve the goddess!"

From this moment on, he became the most devout believer of the goddess.

Wang Hao also showed up, and the two of them laughed and became more enthusiastic towards Zhou Qing.

Their Tianmu Sect Qinghua stronghold has gained another good general, and it is really thriving! (End of this chapter)
