Chapter 539: Border Town
Bai Gan and Gao Qing each took a pseudonym and agreed to call each other by that name and not mention their old names. After leaving the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, they arrived at Annan Town.
Annan Town is a small border town in the Central Plains. Because Southern Xinjiang has been peaceful for so many years, the Central Plains has not set up too many troops in places that come into contact with Southern Xinjiang.
In this small town, there are four major cultivation families, namely Ye, Xiao, Su, and Qin. Because Annan Town is too remote, large sects seldom come here, and the imperial power cannot reach such a far place. For many years, the four major families have been the masters of this city.
This is the breeding ground for the protagonist.
To the people in the Central Plains, it was a backward small town, but in the eyes of Gao Qing and Bai Gan, this town was already very luxurious. At least there was no such urban area in southern Xinjiang.
Gao Qing had been out for a stroll before, but he was not that excited. Bai Gan, on the other hand, was so happy that he could hardly take it all in. He played with Gao Qing's hands, jumping left and right, and was extremely happy. Gao Qing was originally in a gloomy mood, but seeing Bai Gan so happy, those clouds dissipated a lot.
"Sister Gao, there seems to be a fight going on ahead."
Bai Gan found that there was a lot of people gathered together. Upon closer inspection, he saw a banner hanging above it with the words "Ascension Conference" inscribed on it. There were also people fighting on the stage. Bai Gan was very interested in this and almost pulled Gao Qing to trot over.
As you get closer, you can see how lively this place is. There are a lot of people watching, but Gao Qing doesn't seem to be very interested in it.
The cultivation levels of both fighting parties in Zhongyuan are in the lower three realms. Bai Gan and Gao Qing's cultivation routes are different from Zhongyuan's. If they use Gu well, they can threaten Zhitian Realm. Without Gu, they may not even be able to beat Tufan Realm. All in all, they can be compared to Shouxin Realm.
No matter what, their cultivation level is enough to make them big shots in this small place.
It is naturally boring to watch some ordinary people compete.
Bai Gan didn't care about these details. She pulled a man who was watching the fun nearby and asked, "Little brother, what are they competing for?"
The man was originally in a bad mood because he was being pulled around, but when he heard the beautiful woman calling him "little brother" in such a sweet voice, his resentment naturally disappeared. Not only that, his attitude immediately became extremely enthusiastic.
"This is the Immortal Ascension Conference held by the five major sects. It lasts for three days. Children under the age of eighteen who have good qualifications will have the opportunity to be selected by the major sects. If they are over eighteen years old, they will need to compete with others in this Immortal Ascension Conference. Winning or losing is not important, as long as they are favored by the five sect leaders.
I think it is absolutely right that there is no need to decide the winner. Otherwise, only people from the four major families would be chosen."
"The four great families?"
Curious baby Bai Gan felt that there was a story behind this word. Seeing that she was interested, the passerby wanted to show off his erudition, so he opened his mouth and said, "Speaking of the four major families, the most legendary one is the Xiao family..."
Passersby talked about the grievances and hatreds of the four major families, which made Bai Gan stunned. Even Gao Qing was fascinated by it. This made the man even more excited, and he talked with saliva flying. Combined with the fighting on the ring, it was quite exciting.
In his account, in this world, strength is respected and the right to speak is in the hands of the strong. The five major sects are extremely powerful, with the most powerful spells and magic weapons, as well as top masters guarding the sects. Joining these sects is also a symbol of strength.
"...One step to immortality is one step to heaven. If you join these sects, you can walk freely in this world. This is why the four major families are trying their best to find ways to show themselves. However, only true geniuses can be favored by these major sects."
Bai Gan and Gao Qing, two newbies who didn't know much about Central Plains, both began to think about joining these sects after listening to the boasting. What's more, they could walk all over Central Plains at will, which made them feel good just thinking about it.
However, Bai Gan thought of Lin Yu again. Lin Yu was from the Shenxiao Sect. He had mentioned this when introducing himself before. But the five major sects here are the Lihuo Palace, Guanghan Palace, Yuling Sect, Bayin Temple, and Sword Sect, but there is no Shenxiao Sect.
"Then may I ask, how strong is the Shenxiao Sect?"
Bai Gan just wanted to know where the Shenxiao Sect ranked in the Central Plains, but unexpectedly, the passerby's face changed when he heard it, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Are you from the next mountain?"
Bai Gan and Gao Qing suddenly became nervous. Oh my god, can this be exposed?
Fortunately, the passerby didn't think much about it, just complained, and then said: "In front of these major sects, the Shenxiao Sect is a taboo. If you want to become a disciple, you must not mention the Shenxiao Sect. I think both girls are beautiful, and they should have a good chance of joining Guanghan Palace.
Although Guanghan Palace is not as prosperous as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. It is still the best place to go among the five major sects."
Bai Gan was shocked when he heard this. Is there a sect in Central Plains that requires beauty to enter?
Wouldn’t those who couldn’t enter this sect suffer a double blow?
For a moment, she really became interested in Guanghan Palace.
"Sister Gao, why don't we try it on the ring?"
Bai Gan was very interested. Gao Qing shook his head and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not interested in joining a sect."
"Just think of it as keeping me company. You see, other people always bring a companion when they go to the ring."
It's true that Bai Gan's observation is quite accurate. Since winning or losing is not important but only qualifications are important, many people will call on people they know to play together in order to better showcase themselves, and rehearse in advance, trying to play as beautifully as possible, which increases the possibility of being selected.
Others bring their own playmates and make the other party perform poorly so that they can show how powerful they are.
The city’s routines are profound, and they can be seen in these small details.
Bai Gan was still worried that he wouldn’t be able to find an opponent if he went alone!
"Okay, I'll help you this time."
Gao Qing also lived up to the word "righteousness" in his pseudonym. When the host asked if anyone else wanted to go on stage, he pulled Bai Gan onto the stage together.
The vibration caused by the landing immediately made several judges who were already feeling sleepy feel much more energetic.
This is well done!
Jumping onto the ring, Gao Qing and Bai Gan started fighting by imitating the previous people.
Neither of them used southern Xinjiang's witchcraft, they only displayed their fists and feet. The fight between these women was really interesting to watch, it was like dancing. Plus, one of the women was pure, the other charming, and they kept hitting each other on the ring, which made people want to take them to other places to fight.
Although those who come here to recruit disciples are cultivators, their cultivation levels are not very high, and their state of mind is naturally not very high either, and they still have worldly desires.
After all, who can resist the temptation of White Rabbit!
After the two finished their martial arts performance, several sects except Guanghan Palace extended olive branches to them.
"We want to join Guanghan Palace!"
Bai Gan looked at the representative of Guanghan Palace, the fairy-like young lady in a white dress, with full energy.
There was also a small sign in front of her seat with six words written on it.
Guanghan Palace, pear blossoms on the road.
