Chapter 172 A Few Things About Entering the Tower

Uncle Master, Junior Brother Li has reached the sixth level and there is no need to participate in the primary election anymore. "

Before Li Yuan could answer, Chu Tianzhu coughed slightly and spoke. He looked at Li Yuan and forced a smile:

"Junior Brother Li, I have a heartfelt request for my brother...

"Li is just passing by for a walk. Senior Brother Chu, please don't make things difficult for me."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan had already refused. All Chu Tianzhu wanted was to participate in the primary election, but this was not something he could decide.

On the other side, Yan Chunyang was under strict guard, and even if he received some preferential treatment, if he was allowed to run for the election, he would really be disrespecting the imperial court.

"Chu was abrupt."

Glancing at Zhong Liran who was calm and composed, Chu Tianzhu felt regretful for the first time, wondering how he could have thought of coming to Hengshan City with him.

"The imperial court keeps hundreds of Golden Eyes and Red Feathers in captivity. Although the divine capital city is far away, it can't be reached in more than a month. The primary election is still more than a year away. What are you afraid of?"

Zhongli glanced at him randomly:

"We'll have our own explanation when someone from the imperial court comes."

This bearded man is not reckless.

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, waiting for someone from the court to deal with Yan Chunyang. He had only heard what Master Long said before, but Zhongli Luan seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.

"What's the point of a mere district primary election?"

Facing the scolding, Chu Tian lowered his head, but when he heard the exclamations coming from time to time in the rain, he still couldn't hold himself back.

Seeing this, Zhongli remained speechless, but shook his head in his heart.

Genius disciples who come from large sects all have their own shortcomings. Some have high vision but low hands, some are arrogant and arrogant, and some are unruly and conceited. Chu Tianzhu belongs to another type.

He has a good background and good talent, but his journey is too smooth and he cannot withstand setbacks.

This is a problem developed over decades of smooth sailing, and it cannot be changed overnight.

"In comparison, this Li Yuan is much calmer.'

Zhong Li glanced at Li Yuan, who was looking at the Dragon and Tiger Tower in the distance. In the rain, he was wearing a Taoist robe and a bamboo hat, and he already looked a bit like a real Taoist.

Li Yuan continued to walk, and the rain became heavier, but it did not affect the primary election outside the Dragon Tiger Tower at all. He could hear exclamations from far away.

"Pretending to be on the sixth floor, senior brother!"

With an exclamation, Li Yuan looked sideways and could see the commotion of the crowd through the rain curtain.

Dragon Tiger Tower is the place for preliminary selection. If you enter the third floor, you can pass the preliminary selection and participate in the various martial arts exercises a year later. This is naturally not difficult for Pei Jiu, Yan Qingyuan, and Chu Tianzhu.

What they want is to take the opportunity to become famous so as to gain the attention of their respective sect's senior officials. In addition to fame, there is also profit.

"The talent of pretending to be nine is no less than that of Senior Brother Long. Unfortunately, he is a little younger and has no hope of competing for the temple to play the role of martial arts leader."

On the mountain road, Li Yuan stopped and watched.

At this time, there were at least a thousand people under the Dragon Tiger Pagoda. There were disciples from Taoist sects such as Changhong Sword Sect, Samadhi Cave, and Yiqi Villa, and even more from Taoist and government-level sects.

He glanced a few times and saw Gong Yangyu among the crowd.

"Eighth Senior Brother also went to break into the tower?"

Li Yuan's heart moved and he came closer.

.....

"Changhong Sword Sect pretends to be nine and climbs to the sixth floor!"

"Yi Qi Villa was built in Yuan Dynasty, and Master Yushu of Huanglong Villa climbed to the fifth floor...

"Longhu Temple, Wang Xuanying, failed to climb the tower, stopped on the second floor!"

"Huailong Palace Qingyuan, ascend to the third floor and pass the primary election!"

In the rain curtain, someone shouted loudly from time to time. Even through the heavy rain, it spread far and wide, and everyone under the Dragon Tiger Tower could hear it clearly.

"Heroes from all over the world are gathered together."

Outside the crowd, Gong Yangyu held an oil-paper umbrella and watched from a distance, feeling a little emotional from time to time:

"The performance of various martial arts is indeed a grand event in the world. In the past, how could we have seen so many talented disciples?"

Those who were called out under the Dragon and Tiger Tower were all elite disciples of various sects and geniuses whose reputations were famous for a while, but in fact, those who could watch here were not ordinary people.

Most ordinary warriors would not be able to enter Longhu Temple. Being able to participate in the primary election is already a temporary choice.

"yes."

Feng Zhong was already at the side, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard this:

"I heard that there are at least more than 600 sects in Hengshan City now, which are all practicing martial arts. At other times, even Emperor Qian would not have been able to gather so many sects."

There are five states and nineteen states in the Dayun, five Dao sects, and nineteen state sects. There are more than a hundred prefecture-level sects, and there are many sects such as Huolong Temple and Iron Sword Sect that are not inferior to the prefectural sects, several times more than the above number.

There are even more unconventional sect forces.

In many sects, only one or two are eligible to participate in the primary election, but when added up, there are hundreds or even thousands.

"Wan is out!"

It's not that Gong Yangyu has sharp eyes, but it's true that even here, 80,000 people stand out from the crowd.

His clothes were in tatters at the moment, and he couldn't master the bone-shrinking technique after using all his strength. At this moment, his height of nearly ten feet attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Is there a roll call?"

"Maybe not......"

"Eighth Senior Brother can't even reach the first level?!"

Behind Gong Yangyu, all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley were exclaimed and horrified. Most of them had no idea about the Dragon Tiger Pagoda Well, and they didn't quite understand the six, five, and three floors.

But they are fully aware of the tyranny of 80,000 people.

At this moment, seeing that he had failed, he was naturally horrified.

"Bai Chang is such a big guy and he didn't even make it to the first floor?"

"It's just an appearance, right? Shenbing Valley seems to be a sect under the jurisdiction of Huizhou? Oh, I have the impression that this is a sect that specializes in blacksmithing."

"It's no wonder... No, the name Divine Weapon Valley sounds familiar."

Bawan wiped the rain off his face, his mind was buzzing. He thought this tower was difficult to climb, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Fortunately, he could afford to lose. Although the discussions around him were unpleasant, they really had nothing to say.

But soon, the attention of the onlookers was no longer on him. Another group of people failed in the preliminary election, and another group of people entered the tower with a solemn expression.

"You lost too?"

Seeing Fang Baoluo who was a little dazed, Bawan's face suddenly had a smile, and he felt much more comforted.

"......

Fang Baoluo didn't even want to look at him. He glanced and saw that Yan Xiong also lost the election, and he felt better.

The inner disciples of Longhu Temple couldn't beat him, so his defeat was nothing.

"This tower is really difficult to climb."

Bawan sighed, followed Fang Baoluo's line of sight, and saw a familiar name on the huge stone tablet:

"Li Yuan, an inner disciple of Longhu, broke into the sixth tower and succeeded in refining the internal organs. "

"Junior brother can actually reach the sixth floor......

Even though he has seen it many times, Ba Wan is still a little shocked, while Fang Baoluo's eyes fall on "successful refining of the internal organs", and his mind is a little 'buzzing' for a while.

After becoming the young master of the valley, his martial arts progressed very quickly, and with the Five-Colored Spiritual Void Sword, his martial arts have exceeded Ba Wan, but he has not yet reached the great success of Tongmai.

"Successful refining of the internal organs......

Ba Wan didn't react before Fang Baoluo pulled him out of the way. While they were distracted, another group of people walked out of the tower.

"Yue Chongtian has entered the first floor."

Ba Wan heard the name being called. Those who can't even enter the first floor can't get on the stone tablet, and they can't be called.

"Dragon-shaped bones are indeed extraordinary."

The two did not stay. With Li Yuan's pearls and jade in front of them, Yue Chongtian's entry into the first floor really didn't make them feel any waves.

"Eighth Senior Brother, Fang Senior Brother."

Li Yuan had just chatted with Gong Yangyu and Feng Zhong outside the crowd, and then he saw the rather embarrassed Ba Wan and the other two, and bowed to greet them.

"This tower is too difficult to climb!"

Seeing Li Yuan, Ba Wan first complained, and then exclaimed: "Now I know how incredible it is that you can kill to the sixth floor...

Fang Baoluo nodded, and he was also a little scared.

Before today, they really didn't feel much about the weight of climbing to the sixth floor of the eighteen-story tower.

"Climbing this Dragon and Tiger Tower is more or less a matter of luck. "

Li Yuan had anticipated the defeat of the two. They had just broken through the Tongmai, and the opponent they faced in the tower was Tongmai Dacheng, so the difficulty was naturally much greater.

However, he estimated that at least Ba Wan had the strength to break into the first level, and his huge strength was not given for nothing.

"How can it be luck?"

Ba Wan shook his head repeatedly: "I burst out with all my strength, and then I took the first move, and the second move knocked me out of the tower...

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan's heart moved and his expression was a little strange:

"Who is the tower guard you met?"

"It's a big monk, called 'Yin Fa', his fists are harder to bear than a heavy hammer, and two punches can kill me."

Yin Fa...

Li Yuan's mouth twitched: "Brother Yin Fa, you are ranked second under the master."

"Ah?"

Ba Wan was stunned and scratched his head: "No wonder he is so powerful, it turns out that he is a disciple of Master Fu Long, so I don't deserve to lose!"

The randomness of guarding the tower.

Li Yuan shook his head in his heart. The Dragon and Tiger Tower is only the most random when entering the tower. After that, the strength is still very clear. Ba Wan is very unlucky.

His talent for seals is not as good as Dou Yue, but it is not much different. He has practiced martial arts for a longer time and has a more solid foundation.

"Where is Brother Fang?"

Fang Baoluo did not hide it: "His surname is Chu, his name is Xuankong, and his martial arts are extremely high. I dodged in a hurry and only managed to resist three moves. I didn't catch the fourth move."

Well, two unlucky guys.

Li Yuan was a little bit amused.

"Chu Xuankong, once the deputy head of Longyin Hall, a quasi-grandmaster of blood exchange."

"......

Fang Baoluo was also speechless. He was almost autistic because of the blow.

"This tower, is it so difficult to climb?"

Feng Zhong was a little shocked. He thought that Ba Wan and the others were defeated after the battle, but he didn't expect that they were beaten out of the tower in just three or two moves.

"It's also the bad luck of the two brothers. "

Li Yuan was not trying to comfort them. With Ba Wan and Fang Bao Luo's martial arts, if they tried a few more times and randomly encountered a slightly weaker enemy, such as Yue Chongtian, they would have a chance to enter a level.

Then, let's try again!"

After listening to Li Yuan's explanation of the rules of climbing the tower, Fang Bao Luo felt much better. He dragged Ba Wan and went to climb the tower again.

They didn't want to pass the preliminary selection, but since they were here, they couldn't even leave their names on the stone tablet. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"I didn't want to bring them here originally, for fear that they would be stimulated."

At this time, Gong Yangyu spoke. He had expected the two to lose.

"The two brothers just had bad luck, and they were at a disadvantage since they had just entered Tongmai not long ago."

"Yeah."

Gong Yangyu just sighed a little, but he did not belittle his own disciples:

"In the alchemy meeting on June 6th, I won two bottles of Qi-enhancing pills, which should be enough for them to achieve Tongmai Dacheng. By then, it is hard to say whether they will be selected in the preliminary round, but leaving their names on the stone tablet will not be in vain."

"With the talents of the two brothers, one bottle of Qi-enhancing pill is enough for Tongmai Dacheng."

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, how could he let 80,000 people enter the third level, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do.

This is not just a matter of pills, there is also a gap in the level of martial arts. There are at least half of the inner disciples of Longhu Temple who have some special skills, but most of them cannot enter the primary election at all.

Gong Yangyu nodded and turned to ask: "I came here with a lot of gold tickets. I should be able to buy three to five bottles of elixir later. Do you need it?"

"That's not necessary."

Li Yuan was startled and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

He also knew about the alchemy meetings of Longhu Temple. It was said that from these three alchemy meetings, Longhu Temple collected more than three million taels of gold and various kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Refining alchemy is a huge profit for Longhu Temple.

The other sect forces had nowhere to look for the elixir, so they just bought it. No disciple of Longhu Temple was willing to pay more than eight times the price to buy the elixir.

"Um?"

Gong Yangyu frowned slightly.

"Don't get me wrong, what I mean is, how about... should I break it into gold and silver?"

Li Yuan just doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and he will not refuse the support of Shenbing Valley.

If he refused, Gu Nei would feel angry.

"That's fine."

Only then did Gong Yangyu relax his brows.

The situation in Shenbing Valley has been great in the past two years. Not only has Dechang Mansion stabilized, but there are also signs of taking back Zhelong Mansion. All of this naturally has a lot to do with Li Yuan.

This is not only support, but also gratitude.

Seeing this, Feng Zhong was relieved. If Li Yuan didn't accept this benefit, he would feel uneasy.

...

After taking a walk, Li Yuanhuai already had 50,000 taels of gold notes, 30,000 taels of silver notes, and 10 taels of red gold. The Gongyang Valley Master was as generous as ever.

"Including the gold and silver rewarded by the sect before, there is enough material for promotion as a soldier!"

Shenbing Valley, which is about to take control of the Second Mansion, is rich and powerful. The Dragon Tiger Temple, which has been standing for more than two thousand years, is not only rich and powerful.

After drawing the sword for the old dragon head, the sect received extremely generous rewards, including a dragon and tiger elixir, a top-grade divine armor, and other spiritual beasts, which he kept in captivity in the Hundred Beasts Mountain.

In addition, there are also many shops in Hengshan City, mineral veins in the mountains, and finally, gold and silver.

"Well, it should be almost the same?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan had no intention of breaking into the tower, so he went down the mountain with the gold and silver in his pocket. After knowing that Master Long might be secretly watching,

Whenever he had to do some secret things, he would go down the mountain and into the city.

In the past ten days, except for materials such as red gold and gold essence that were not available elsewhere, he had ordered Liu Zheng to purchase and replace them at the foot of the mountain.

...

It was raining heavily, and there were no pedestrians in Hengshan City.

Li Yuan wore a bamboo hat and went to several banks and bank accounts to exchange for 50,000 taels of gold. He hired a few small cars to take him back to the blacksmith's shop. The small courtyard where he was was now connected to a large warehouse.

After closing the door, Li Yuan took out all the materials, counted them one by one, and pressed with his right hand:

"Promotion."
