Outside Of Time - Chapter 51

At this moment, under the setting sun, the afterglow scatters on the mountain path, as if covering the stone steps with a layer of orange tulle, adding a bit of sacred meaning.

It seems that walking on it, stepping on the sun, can lead to glory all the way.

On both sides of the mountain road, there are green leaves and flowers everywhere. The scent of fragrance and earth blends into the blowing mountain wind, and as the dampness blows, it penetrates into the mind and permeates the whole body.

The surrounding green trees and the occasional crisp bird song seem to be composing music for the future of all those who have walked this mountain road, including the group of people here at this moment.

There were five people in the group. The front was the round-faced middle-aged man. He walked with his hands behind his back and introduced the sect to Xu Qing and the others behind him.

“Since you have successfully worshipped Qixuetong, I will also explain the sect for you. In fact, in my opinion, Qixuetong is not a sect.”

“It’s more like a huge profit industry in the name of Zongmen!”

The round-faced middle-aged man spoke lightly, and his words fell into the ears of the four people behind him, making these young men and women who newly worshipped the Seventh Peak shocked.

Among the four, except for Xu Qing, the other three were Zhou Qingpeng, Li Zimei, and a girl.

The girl’s name is Xu Xiaohui, she wears a ponytail and wears ordinary clothes. She is obviously not from a wealthy family, but she is much better than a scavenger. She should be from a small town.

On the way, she made a gesture to Xu Qing, but Xu Qing was not good at socializing, and she didn’t like people getting too close to her, so she just nodded, so soon the girl started to please Zhou Qingpeng.

Zhou Qingpeng’s smile was gentle, contrary to Xu Qing’s reticence, which made the girl feel more and more close, and the two occasionally whispered on the road.

As for Li Zimei, she seems to be very cautious and has some low self-esteem, so she is at the bottom of the team and keeps a certain distance from everyone.

However, Zhou Qingpeng was very attentive to her and Xu Qing, so he would take the initiative to smile from time to time, which made Li Zimei seem less cautious.

At this moment, the mountain wind was blowing, and it lifted everyone’s hair, and also passed the words of the middle-aged person with round face in front.

“The Seven Blood Eyes are divided into the upper and lower parts of the mountain. You can see them as two worlds, but in fact they are indeed two worlds, and you… are the people at the foot of the mountain.”

“Only by building a foundation can you be qualified to go up the mountain and have the right to distribute the benefits of Qixuetong, while the people at the bottom of the mountain live in cruelty and hardship and can only struggle.”

“So for the people at the foot of the mountain, going up the mountain is the greatest desire in this life. Do you know how many people are in the main city at the foot of the mountain?” The round-faced middle-aged man glanced at the four young men and women behind him.

“Three million people!” He raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers.

“These three million people include civilians and all the low-level disciples of each peak. You will also be one of them, and you need to survive under the rules of Qixuetong.”

“The rules of the main city of Seven Blood Eyes are very simple, that is, contribution points. Everyone at the foot of the mountain, whether civilians or disciples, the cost of staying in the main city every day is 30 contribution points, that is, 30 spirit coins.”

“It’s being deducted every day. Once the number of the jade slip token is zero, it will be expelled from Qixuetong. The same is true for the commoners, and the same for the disciples.”

“If you stay forcibly, you will be obliterated by the formation after an hour.”

The words of the round-faced cultivator made the expressions of the four of Xu Qing change. Even if Zhou Qingpeng knew something, when he heard this rule again, his eyes showed fear.

“This is only the basic residence fee. As for room and board, it depends on your own choice. The fittest survives. The prices in the main city of Qixuetong are extremely high, but the highest is the cultivation resources.”

After listening to the round-faced cultivator’s words, Xu Qing was silent. The other three were also shocked by this harsh statement. Xu Xiaohui hesitated and asked in a low voice.

“That being the case, why are there so many civilians coming? Thirty spirit coins a day… One spirit stone a month is too expensive. Besides, if I have to pay contribution points when I get the status of a disciple, my status as a disciple is very expensive. What’s the use?”

The round-faced middle-aged glanced at Xu Xiaohui.

“The civilians who can be sent at a high price are all capable people. The reason why they rushed to come is because the main city of Seven Blood Eyes protects civilians, and disciples are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides… here There is an array method to isolate heterogeneity and increase lifespan.”

“Compared to the outside world, where there are ferocious beasts and desperate people everywhere, the main city of Qixuetong is naturally their dream place.”

“What’s the use of being a disciple?”

“One, the cultivation resources are only open to those who have obtained the qualifications of disciples. Others can’t buy them, and it is strictly forbidden to spread them out. Once caught, they will surely die.”

“Second, only the disciples who practice the Qixuetong Gongfa can have the right to go up the mountain and obtain the distribution of benefits after Qixuetong has cultivated to the foundation, so you have to work harder in the future. Cannibalism is not allowed, but every month…there are still quite a few disciples who disappear inexplicably in the city, and most of the sects turn a blind eye to this, they raise their gu, the casualties are normal.”

“But once a foreign foundation-building cultivator attacks your Qi Condensing disciples, then those who do it will be severely punished. This is a violation of the rules of Qixuetong. Of course, the external Qi Condensing, the sect doesn’t care.”

The round-faced cultivator smiled meaningfully.

Xu Qing was slightly relieved when he heard these words, this was one of his reasons for coming to Qixuetong.

At this moment, Li Zimei asked a question after hesitation.

“If that’s the case, then how can the sects who grow up in such an environment give them a sense of belonging, and how can the sects themselves be cohesive?”

The round-faced monk laughed.

“Cohesion? What is cohesion? Friendship is a kind, gratitude is a kind, awe is a kind, but these are not solid. In this cruel and troubled world, the real sense of belonging, the real cohesion, is interest!”

“As long as you are a disciple of Qixuetong and break through to the foundation with Qixuetong, you can get the qualification to go up the mountain, and you can also have the right to distribute Qixuetong’s profits.”

“The monthly income of Qixuetong is public. It comes from the living expenses of all people, the trading of cultivation resources, and the exchange of ports. Almost 500 million spirit coins are entered into the account every day. If you calculate it as spirit stones, it is 500,000. Fifteen million spiritual stones.

These benefits, according to the rights and interests of different cultivation bases, except that the sect retains a part of the daily expenses, the rest will be distributed to all disciples of foundation establishment and above. “

“The higher the cultivation level, the more distribution. The disciples in the early stage of foundation building can distribute about 5,000 spiritual stones in a month. If they reach the core, they will be at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones every month.”

“That’s why I say that Qixuetong is more like an industry. All Foundation Establishment disciples who have been promoted to the mountain are equivalent to investing in this industry. As long as Qixuetong exists for one day, there will be a day’s benefits!”

“So, do you think that when a foreign enemy wants to plunder your property, you will watch your own interests be robbed and not take action?”

As the round-faced monk’s words came out, Xu Qing’s eyes showed a deep gleam. At this moment, he completely understood the seven blood pupils.

Cohesion in troubled times, perhaps… as the other party said, interests can bind everything.

Li Zimei was also silent and stopped talking.

The round-faced cultivator smiled lightly. He brought many batches of introductory disciples, such as the words just now, and he said it many times. In troubled times, interests are the eternal truth. At this moment, he pointed down the mountain.

“Let me tell you about the prosperity of Seven Blood Eyes. Look over there, it is the largest port in the entire Nanhuang Continent, and there are endless ships coming and going. When the disciples go out to sea to complete their tasks, most of them have to leave from us, and the seventh peak controls this port area.”

“So, the boat…is the key to the cultivation of my seventh peak disciples. We call it the Dharma boat.”

Xu Qing looked in the direction of his finger. At this moment, in the light of the setting sun, at this position on the mountain, he could clearly see the main city port below.

Near the sea, a number of horseshoe-shaped harbors have been excavated, each of which is large and seems to be able to accommodate a large number of boats, and there are many such harbors, hundreds of them.

It is mighty, and spreads far away, while the overall color is different. Half of it is white, with most of the huge merchant ships in it, and half of the harbor, and the buildings inside are mostly purple.

From a distance, the boats in the purple area are very small and densely packed.

In addition, there are gates and lighthouses erected in every harbor.

“The white area is outside, and the purple area is the residence of my seventh peak disciples.”

“The boat inside is the Dharma boat I just said!” The round-faced monk said.

“My Seventh Peak’s Dharma Boat is well-known throughout Nanhuang Continent, and it is also the core and soul of Seventh Peak’s disciples’ cultivation.”

“It is not only your cave dwelling, but also your mount, your partner in battle, and a necessities for obtaining resources. You can completely regard the ark as a… magic weapon!”

When the round-faced cultivator said this, both Li Zimei and Xu Xiaohui widened their eyes, obviously knowing the existence of the magic weapon. Zhou Qingpeng also had a strange look in his eyes, with strong expectations.

Xu Qing was the same, shocked, he knew the value and rarity of the magic weapon, so he looked at the purple area of ​​the port again, but there were dense boats, which made him feel that the rarity of the magic weapon seemed to be contradictory.

“Of course it’s not a real magic weapon, but my magic boat on the seventh peak has growth potential. With the improvement of your cultivation realm and continuous refining, sooner or later, it is not impossible to become a magic weapon.”

“So, to own a Dharma boat of your own is the biggest dream and pursuit of every disciple who has just entered the seventh peak.”

“It’s just that the most basic ark also needs to be exchanged. It takes 100,000 contribution points, that is, 100 spirit stones.”

“In addition, only disciples who have the Dharma boat are eligible to be randomly assigned to work and practice in the harbor.”

“As for the disciples who don’t have the Dharma Boat, they can only find a way to make money by themselves. The limit is three years. If they can’t accumulate enough contributions to exchange the Dharma Boat within three years, their cultivation will be withdrawn and they will be expelled.”

“Because, the practice of my seventh peak is related to the sea, and with the cultivation of the Dharma boat, with the help of the gathering spirit formation in it, it will get twice the result with half the effort. By the way, the practice is free, and you can get it if you become a disciple.”

Hearing the words of the round-faced middle-aged man, Xu Qing felt a wave in his heart. At the same time he was attracted by the special magic boat of the seventh peak, he gradually learned more about the seventh peak.

The Dharma boat is the key to the disciples of the seventh peak.

The disciples who own the dharma boat will be assigned duties, and they are qualified to live in the purple waters of the harbor, so the round-faced middle-aged said before that the boat is the cave, but if you want to live there, you will have to spend contribution points.

As for the disciples without boats, they can only do chores on the shore, struggling to cultivate, and they need to work hard to accumulate contributions every day.

Furthermore, most of the trips from other peaks and even the entire Nanhuang Continent have to go here, so many times it is necessary to rent a boat from the disciples of the seventh peak, which is also a way to earn contribution points.

The entire Seventh Peak, basically the vast majority of the disciples, are like this. Everyone is trying to survive, and they want to break through to become Foundation Establishment and obtain the qualifications for the distribution of benefits from Seven Blood Eyes.

“So, the Dharma boat and the cultivation base are the keys to survival before building the foundation and cultivation base on this seventh peak.”

“I need to exchange for a Dharma boat as soon as possible!” Xu Qing’s eyes were bright, and he felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart.

In this way, under the introduction of the round-faced cultivator, Xu Qing and his party came to the middle of the mountain. This is the place where the identity tokens are opened for the new disciples, and there are also robes issued.

There is only one kind of Taoist robe, and that is the gray Taoist robe.

The gray robe is the basic costume of all the disciples of Qixuetong. As long as the disciples who have opened the identity token, they will be issued free of charge.

Just opening the token requires a thousand contribution points, and the token after opening records the basic information and contribution value of each person, and can also be used for communication.

As everyone obtained the exercises, and successively opened the identity tokens, they obtained the gray robe. Xu Qing held it in his hand and felt the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it, knowing that the material of the robe was good.

It is very soft to the touch and will not easily form wrinkles. If it is placed outside, the value of this robe will probably be a lot.

Li Zimei on the side was similar to Xu Qing, and she was also stroking the robe, her eyes showing firmness, while Xu Xiaohui on the side looked at Zhou Qingpeng.

Zhou Qingpeng blinked, his eyes swept over the round-faced cultivator and the sect senior who distributed the supplies, and suddenly spoke softly.

“Senior, this junior wants to buy a magic boat.”

The round-faced cultivator smiled when he heard the words, and the one handing out supplies was a thin old man. He glanced at Zhou Qingpeng and said lightly.

“One hundred thousand contribution points, or one hundred spirit stones.” Li Zimei and Xu Xiaohui both took a deep breath as soon as the thin old man spoke. One hundred spirit stones were an unimaginable amount of money in their perception.

At this time, Zhou Qingpeng hurried forward, took out a golden paper ticket, and handed it over respectfully.

“Second peak’s spiritual ticket? Yes.” The old man took it and looked at it, put it away, took out a purple brocade box and pushed it over, then looked up at the others.

“Anyone of you still want to exchange?”

Li Zimei and Xu Xiaohui both bowed their heads. After Xu Qing thought about it, enduring the pain, he stepped forward and took out a hundred spirit stones from the leather bag and placed them in front of the skinny old man.

Without saying a word, the old man gave Li Zimei and Xu Xiaohui the envy of Zhou Qingpeng and gave him a golden box.

Xu Qing took it and opened it. There were only two items in the brocade box, a jade slip and a small transparent bottle.

The vial is very strange, only the size of a palm, and there is half of the liquid in it, like sea water. And on that sea, there is a awning boat floating!

This small boat is all black and looks simple, but if you look closely, you can see that every board on it is filled with a large number of runes. Even if the entire boat is enclosed in a bottle, it still has a good reputation. Pressure to spread.

It can be said that both the bottle itself and the boat are worth far more than a hundred spirit stones. As for the jade slip, it records information about the Wu Peng boat.

“Okay, you can go down the mountain, remember that the exercises and the Dharma boat cannot be shared, otherwise…it will be miserable.” The round-faced middle-aged voice interrupted Xu Qing’s observation.

“Xu Xiaohui and Li Zimei, you have to work harder to do it yourself, and strive to get the ark as soon as possible. As for Zhou Qingpeng and Xu Qing, your identity tokens have information about your positions, so let’s go separately.”

The four immediately clasped their fists towards the round-faced cultivator. Xu Qing was about to leave, but was stopped by the round-faced cultivator.

“Xu Qing.”

Xu Qing turned her head and looked at the round-faced monk respectfully.

“Among the low-level monks, you are very strong. You are only at the seventh level of body refinement, but you have formed the shadow of qi and blood that can only be found in the great perfection of the body. It shows that your talent is good. It can be said that among the low-level monks, you are already strong. It’s a class of people, killing some miscellaneous cultivators and the ninth and tenth floor of the small sect, it is also easy.”

“However, body refinement is relatively simple. It’s just the accumulation of speed, strength, and recovery, but this is not a great way.”

“My cultivator’s way is to cultivate the Dharma! I advise you to practice the Dharma more in the future. The power of psionic magic in your body is too weak. It’s okay to face miscellaneous practitioners. If you face major disciples, you will be very A loss!”

Xu Qing was shocked when she heard this.

“Besides, I don’t know where you lived before, but I think it must be in danger, so I developed some instinctive habits of yours.”

“Habit?” Xu Qing was startled.

“For the sake of my test for you this time, let me remind you, for example, when you walk, your right hand hardly moves, especially your index finger and **** are always on alert. I guess that in the leather bag on your right side, there is a A two-fingered pin-like or knife-like weapon that you can easily take out at any time.”

Xu Qing’s expression froze, it was the first time he was seen through so clearly.

“But I advise you, it’s best not to take habits as nature. In this case, you can easily be seen by others and suffer a disadvantage. You must know that there are no traces, and the needle is hidden in the cotton, which is the way of my generation.”

The round-faced middle-aged man opened his mouth with a smile, and he didn’t seem to have the slightest edge. This time, he reminded the disciple in front of him that for him, it was just a small investment.

But Xu Qing felt cold behind her back, stood there, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to the other side.

Until he walked away, Xu Qing’s heart echoed the words of the other party. He looked down at his right hand and tried to control it to make it more natural.

Under the control of this attempt, his right hand gradually changed. It was no longer rigid, but slightly more natural. But if you look closely, you can see that in this naturalness, every time it shakes, there seems to be a hidden edge. .

On his way down the mountain, he kept trying. In the wilderness far away from Qixuetong, in an unfamiliar scavenger camp, Qiye was squatting on a roof, watching with interest a man not far away. The boy was fighting with a wild dog. The boy’s mouth was full of flesh and blood stained with dog hair, and his expression seemed to be bloodthirsty.

Seeing this scene, Seven Master’s eyes showed admiration.

Beside him, the servants also squatted there. At this moment, he took out the jade slip, checked it, and said in a low voice.

“Seventh Master, the child has reached seven blood pupils.”

“What child?” Seventh Master looked at the young man in front and said casually.

The servant smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice.

“It was the young man who was reluctant to wear new clothes before the murder. You also helped him talk to Master Bai, taught him the way of grass and trees, and later gave him a white token.”

The seventh master looked in a trance and nodded ~www.mtlnovel.com~ recalling Xu Qing, his eyes showed appreciation again.

“I remembered, that’s a good boy with affection and righteousness.”

“Does it require special care?” the servant asked.

Seventh Master waved his hand.

“No, in this chaotic world, if you want to survive, you need to rely on yourself to work hard. If he can finally rely on himself and come to me, I will give him a good fortune.” Said, the seventh master pointed a finger. A boy who fights with wild dogs.

“You said that this boy is more like a wolf cub than a child?”

The servant glanced at the young man the Seventh Master was pointing at, and gave a wry smile. He has answered similar questions several times. This is already the ninth child that Seventh Master has been optimistic about since he was a child.

“It’s almost the same.”

When the seventh master heard this, he glanced sideways at the servant, and suddenly laughed.

“I helped the child speak to Master Bai and gave him a white token. This is my favor, but it doesn’t mean that I have to accept him as a disciple, and I don’t owe him, just give him a chance.”

“And I really want to accept the fourth child, but when I accepted the third child, I issued more than fifty white tokens, and only the third one came out. You and I have a short time, so I don’t know what I am. style.”

“This time, I think more than fifty tokens are not enough for a fourth child, at least one hundred dollars.”

“This young man, go and give a white token, you don’t need to say anything.” After the seventh master said, he got up and walked towards the distance.

———

The two chapters have a total of 9,000 words and nearly 10,000 words, so I did not force them into three chapters.

I am very happy to see the ranking of the monthly pass. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, and especially thank you Brother Yan for your support~

Clap your fists and say goodbye!
