"Oh, young master, are you also going to the Ziwei Sect?"
Ding Qianyue was taken aback.
She wasn't annoyed, just a little surprised.
Tang Xuan spread his hands.
"As you can see, I only have some brute strength. I've heard that martial artists can use spiritual energy and even fly through the air, which I really envy. Since you say the Ziwei Sect is so powerful, I want to go and take a look!"
Ding Qianyue suddenly realized.
"Ah, I see. No wonder you said you wanted to go to the Immortal Palace of Leisure. So you wanted to cultivate martial arts. Indeed, without cultivating martial arts, one will only become an ant. You should definitely cultivate some, but..."
Ding Qianyue wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
Tang Xuan looks quite old; it's probably too late for him to start practicing martial arts now.
Whether from a wealthy or humble family, children begin to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and strengthen their bodies from a young age.
In the path of martial arts, it is generally acknowledged that the younger one is, the greater their potential.
Tang Xuan looked to be in his twenties. Although he would normally be considered young, in the martial arts world, he was practically an old man.
Ding Qianyue originally wanted to persuade Tang Xuan to give up this unrealistic idea.
But seeing the confident smile on his face, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
They've already had it so tough, and you still want to dampen their spirits.
How is this behavior any different from Zhou Sanshao's?
"In that case, why don't we travel together? Perhaps I can even give you some pointers on martial arts, so you won't be unable to enter the Ziwei Sect!"
Ding Qianyue said earnestly.
She is, after all, a Yuanhun Realm martial artist, so she can still offer some pointers on basic martial arts knowledge.
Tang Xuan laughed and said, "Alright, let's find a place to eat and chat!"
"Well... okay!"
Ding Qianyue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
She had been hungry for several days.
"Silver Mountain City is not far away, which is Zhou family territory, but as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problems!"
"After passing through Silver Mountain City, we can take a cloud boat, cross the territory of the Black Cloud Sect, and head to the Purple Star Sect!"
Tang Xuan laughed and said, "Whatever, I don't care!"
Ding Qianyue immediately took Tang Xuan and headed towards Yinshan City.
...
Silver Mountain City!
The Zhou family!
"Awooooo!"
Inside the room, Zhou Sanshao's screams echoed continuously.
He lay on the bed, his knees covered in blood.
Standing nearby were many alchemists dressed in white robes, carrying medicine boxes.
A middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Zhou Sanshao paced anxiously back and forth.
This person is the current head of the Zhou family.
Zhou Tianba!
He is also the biological father of Zhou Sanshao.
"How is it? Can it be saved?"
A master alchemist cautiously approached.
"Patriarch, our abilities are limited, I'm afraid..."
"What!" Zhou Tianba was furious upon hearing this.
Zhou San Shao burst into tears.
"Father... I don't want to be crippled, save me... save me..."
Zhou Tianba looked at the alchemist in front of him and said, "Master Lu, you are the best alchemist in Yinshan City. It's just that your bones are shattered. Why can't you save him?"
Master Lu looked troubled.
“Patriarch, if it were just ordinary bone crushing, though I am not very capable, I could do it in an instant, but…”
Zhou Tianba asked with a grim face, "But what?"
Master Lu sighed: "To be honest, the person who injured the Third Young Master was extremely ruthless. Not only did he shatter the Third Young Master's kneecaps, but he also shattered the meridians in his legs, breaking them inch by inch. Unless a Pill Tower Immortal intervenes, even the Great Emperor cannot save his legs!"
"Damn it!" Zhou Tianba roared.
Who is Danta Danxian?
That is the pinnacle of alchemy in the Free and Unfettered Continent. Even a powerful emperor like the Free and Unfettered Ancestor would have to show deference to an Alchemist.
Given Zhou Tianba's status, even if he knelt before Dan Xian, she probably wouldn't even acknowledge him.
"Who on earth hurt my son? I'll make them pay with their blood!"
Zhou Tianba clenched his fists, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.
The faint image of five energies flowing through the top of the head is a symbol of a powerful innate cultivator in the Vitality Realm.
Zhou San Shao roared, "Father, it was Ding Qian Yue from the Ding family, along with a man of terrifying strength, who injured me! You must capture Ding Qian Yue; I want to torture her!"
Zhou Tianba patted Zhou Sanshao on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, anyone who hurts someone from the Zhou family has their name written in the Book of Life and Death! Get some rest, and even if it means going bankrupt, I will heal your legs!"
At this moment, an elder of the Zhou family said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, should we inform the eldest and second young masters?"
Zhou Tianba hesitated for a moment: "No need. Young Master is at the Ziwei Sect, and I heard he's trying to become an inner disciple. Once he enters the inner sect, the treatment and resources will be completely different! We can't disturb him!"
"As for the Second Young Master, he has also cultivated quite well in the Qi Gui Sect! The Qi Gui Sect is a demonic sect, so it's a bit inconvenient for them to intervene!"
"A mere Ding Qianyue, and a good-for-nothing who doesn't even have spiritual energy, do you think my Zhou family can't handle them?"
"Someone, summon all the elders and disciples, and expand the search area to a hundred miles outside the city. Yinshan City is a major transportation route; no matter which direction you go, you have to pass through it. They can't escape!"
The Zhou family elder bowed and left.
...
"Oh, this city is quite mysterious!"
Standing before Yinshan City, Tang Xuan looked up at the towering city, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Ding Qianyue said, "Yes, the cities in the Xiaoyao Continent are all controlled by families, and all the resources within the city are also controlled by the families!"
"Families can spend money to send their members to the Twin Fortresses, Four Sects, and Eight Demonic Gates for cultivation!"
"Then the fourteen major sects will send their core disciples to the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace in exchange for more resources!"
Tang Xuan nodded.
There are actually such connections between families and sects on this carefree continent.
This is indeed unprecedented.
After all, this method has many advantages.
The family can acquire resources with peace of mind.
The sect doesn't need to work itself out; it only needs to enjoy the tributes from its disciples.
As for the colossal Xiaoyao Immortal Palace, it makes money effortlessly.
The simpler the function, the higher the profit.
Then the sect will also provide some support to the family, forming a virtuous cycle.
"Let's go, let's go in! To get to the Ziwei Sect, we have to pass through Yinshan City!"
Ding Qianyue took out a face towel and covered her beautiful face.
She's so beautiful that she easily attracts attention.
As for Tang Xuan, no one recognized him. Those Zhou family warriors were terrified and might not really remember his face, so they weren't afraid of being exposed.
The two entered Silver Mountain City side by side.
Tang Xuan once again witnessed the grandeur of Silver Mountain City.
On both sides of the street, there are countless shops selling treasures that have never been seen before in the Xuan Realm.
However, the level was too low, and Tang Xuan didn't even consider it.
"Ha, it seems the 10,000x amplification system can play a big role again!"
