Chapter 138 The Law of the Mountain

At the same time when Xu Qing's foundation building breath erupted and the bells of the seventh peak echoed, three figures roared from the top of the mountain and flew straight down the mountain.

Generally speaking, if outsiders set foot on the mountain steps here, they will only be blocked and will not cause the bell to ring.

At this moment, you need to report your identity and tell the purpose of your visit. A formation will notify the person you want to visit. After the other party agrees, you can go up the mountain under the surveillance of the formation.

Just like when the ancestor of Vajra Sect visited Taoist Xianyun of Liufeng, it was like this.

And there is only one possibility to cause the bell to ring at the moment of stepping on the mountain steps.

That is... a new foundation has appeared among the disciples of this sect that has not been registered in the formation.

Of course, enemy attacks are another matter.

In Qixuetong, not all of the disciples at the foot of the mountain will choose to rent the foundation building of the sect when they are promoted to the foundation building. On the one hand, the price is expensive, and on the other hand, they are those who can emerge from countless condensed qi in this chaotic world. , must have its own opportunity.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, apart from chance, there is almost no trust in sects that are based on interests.

Therefore, about [-]% of Qixuetong's foundation building came back after being promoted outside.

Most of these opportunities are related to some relics. Although some people pay attention, this kind of incident is not an exception, and it is very taboo. Once there is malicious plunder, it is fine if it cannot be spread, but once it spreads, it will shake Qi Xuetong foundation.

Therefore, they were strictly stopped by the seven blood pupils. Although there were still occasional mutilations in the dark, it was generally reasonable. After all, for the cultivation of the mountain with the seven blood pupils, they would weigh whether it was worth it before making a move.

Few people are so foolish as to take such a risk on an unknown guess.

When Xu Qing chose to go out to build the foundation, he had already thought clearly about these things. Looking at the three figures approaching quickly, he stood on the fifth step, waiting for their arrival.

Soon the whistling sound became clearer. Among the three figures heading straight for here in the distance, the one at the front was wearing a purple robe, with a medium build and a round face.

It was the person who led Xu Qing when he went up the mountain for the first time that day. The other person also kindly reminded him of the habitual weakness of his right hand and the matter of hidden needles in the cotton.

Looking at the other person's figure, Xu Qing also felt emotional in his heart. At first, he only heard the words "hidden needles in the cotton", but now in Qixuetong's experience, he has already deeply felt what it means to hide needles in the cotton.

And he himself has also learned a lot in the big environment of Qixuetong.

Xu Qing clasped his fists, and bowed deeply when the opponent approached.

Laughter came from the sky.

The figure of the round-faced monk flickered, and when he came to Xu Qing, he had a gentle expression and a smile on his face.

"Xu Qing, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you were absolutely extraordinary, so I reminded you that if we meet again today, you are indeed from my generation."

"Thank you for reminding me that day, senior." Xu Qing was grateful for the round-faced monk from the bottom of his heart, and opened his mouth with hands clasped.

"You don't need to talk about it with seniors, you have already established the foundation, you and I can call each other senior brothers, Junior Brother Xu Qing, my name is Zhang Yunshi, you can call me Senior Brother Zhang."

The round-faced monk smiled and raised his head while speaking, and saw Zhao Zhongheng not far away with a face full of shock.

He was originally a smart person, his eyes glanced at Zhao Zhongheng's expression, and then at Xu Qing, he roughly guessed something in his heart, but it wouldn't be a big deal, so he narrowed his eyes.

"Junior Brother Xu Qing, shall we go up the mountain?"

"Excuse me, Senior Brother Zhang." Xu Qing nodded politely, then clasped fists at the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him, and glanced over them seemingly casually.

He found that most of the foundation-building cultivators on the mountain concealed fluctuations, as did these two, and so did Zhang Yunshi, so it was difficult for Xu Qing to detect the specific depth at the first time.

This made him extremely alert and vigilant.

But these two people were obviously not as good as Zhang Yunshi in status, seeing that Zhang Yunshi had a relationship with Xu Qing, they smiled lightly, cupped their fists in return and left.

In this way, accompanied by Zhang Yunshi, Xu Qing walked forward along the mountain steps with him.

The trees on both sides of the mountain road are shaded. At this moment, the sea breeze blows and shakes the leaves, and there are even spiritual birds singing softly in the midst.

This voice is very pleasant, as if it can sink into the memory, and the scene of going up the mountain for the first time that day will emerge, overlapping with this moment.

"Junior Brother Xu, I have introduced you to the world under the mountain of Seven Blood Eyes, today I will tell you about the mountain." In the wind, Zhang Yunshi's peaceful voice echoed on the road.

"There are thirteen elders on the Seventh Peak, all of whom are Golden Core cultivators. Below them are my generation of Foundation Establishment, with a total of more than 140 people. After you register today, there will be 140 nine of the Seventh Peak Foundation Establishment."

"It seems like a lot, but in fact there are not many. The entire Seven Blood Pupils is close to a thousand. You must know that my Seven Blood Pupils are one of the four major forces in Southern Huangzhou."

"So the status and identity of Foundation Establishment is extremely high."

"This is true anywhere in Southern Huangzhou, especially my Seven Blood Eyes. After you register, you will get more than 700 spirit stones every month."

"The specific amount depends on the income of the Seven Blood Pupils each month, so it is not fixed, but the fluctuation is not very large."

"In addition, after you become a foundation, you will get the right to live on the mountain, but the cave will cost money, and the foundation-building skills of the sect, not like giving it for free when you condense your energy, will also cost money. As for the place of scriptures , you are eligible to buy any foundation-building exercises in it."

"At the same time, as Foundation Establishment, he has four rights."

"The first right, from now on you have the right to open up new ports, and you can open up a port that belongs to you in the harbor area!"

"It can be done externally or internally. The Zongmen will charge half of all income from internal operations, but this requires you to arrange people to operate it. At the same time, the initial investment is huge, and you have to bear it yourself."

"If you don't want the right to open up this port, you can get the right to own a street in the main city, and all the shops on that street will pay you rent. This method is simple and straightforward."

"These two choices, the foundation establishment cultivator can choose anything, you can decide for yourself."

"The second right, if the disciples at the bottom of this peak provoke you, you can kill them, but if you kill one person, you need to pay [-] spirit stones as a punishment, if you kill the second person, the price will double, and so on, it will never be reset .”

The round-faced monk smiled and opened his mouth, but the words he said made Xu Qing's eyes shrink.

"This rule is actually a thread in my Seven Blood Eyes' foundation building heart. No matter whether it is in the sect or outside the sect, when encountering weak people, I will measure whether it is worth killing."

"If it is a disciple under the mountain, the price will be doubled on this basis."

"As for the third right, you can designate two disciples at the foot of the mountain, or other people you approve, to be your followers. They will be eligible to live in the main city for free, and they can also go up the mountain with you and register in your name. Next practice."

"At the same time, your teleportation will be free for all sub-cities within the range of Seven Blood Pupils. In addition, you have a quota of [-] sub-cities per year. You must know the right of residence in sub-cities. It is very precious in the scavenger camps outside and in small cities. Yes, it cannot be owned unless it is recommended by a disciple of Seven Blood Pupils."

"The last right is the protection of the seven blood pupils, so that the golden cores outside dare not come here to kill you. Of course, if you take out enough spirit stones, even Nascent Soul will not dare to kill you, even if you have more spirit stones. You can offer a reward, there must be someone in the sect willing to help you kill it."

"You have to remember, there are a group of wolf cubs at the foot of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain... a group of independent wolves with their own thoughts!"

"At the same time, you don't have to worry about the Zongmen Jindan attacking you. It's your own bad luck outside, but inside the Zongmen, no matter what the reason is, if you kill the first Foundation Establishment, you will be fined a million spirit stones. The same is true, it will still be doubled later, and it will never be cleared."

"So it's back to the old topic, is it worth it!"

The round-faced monk kept smiling while speaking, but all of his words revealed the status of the foundation and the ferocity of the mountain.

"What about the obligation?" Xu Qing asked.

"Obligation?" The round-faced monk smiled.

"Everyone came out of the mountain by relying on their own efforts, so they have no obligation to the sect. If they are willing to stay, they will get money, and if they are willing to leave, they will not stay. However, the missions issued by the sect are not stingy, so everyone is here The fight is over."

"And in order to be able to obtain spirit stones for a long time, this extra income is not bad. When foreign enemies invade and destroy our long-term income, we will naturally take action accordingly. After all, if we build a foundation carefully, we can still survive. It's been a long time, how nice it is to get money every month."

"Of course, it's not unacceptable if the incoming enemy offers a greater temptation, but think about it, are the invading enemies stupid? It's useless to buy one or two disciples. If they buy more, they will take out huge benefits. Is it worth it to capture the Seven Blood Eyes who are far less expensive than they paid for?"

"As for going to war with the outside world, it is actually magnifying the big competition you have experienced before. It is profitable and naturally swarms up."

"The elders on the mountain also know that we are wolf cubs, so there is almost no management of us, and they are all lured by benefits."

"The ones who really reassure the higher-ups are those core disciples who enjoy the preferential treatment of the sect as soon as they enter the sect. The cultivation of these people is mainly based on cohesion and a sense of belonging."

Now with Zhang Yunshi's introduction, Xu Qing had a deeper understanding of the mountain with the Seven Blood Eyes, and they came to the halfway up the mountain as they thought about it.

"It's not a coincidence that you came here. Originally, the newly promoted Zhu Ji was eligible to meet the peak master once, but now the peak masters of the seven peaks have all gone to sea, and there must be something big happening."

"The First Elder and the Second Elder are not there, only the Third Elder is guarding in the mountain. After you go to pay a visit, I will take you to the Dongfu Office and the Jingfa Hall."

Just as he was talking, Xu Qing saw the hall where the third elder had been there once in the distance. Outside the hall, he saw another familiar figure, which was Deacon Li beside the third elder.

He sat cross-legged in front of the main hall, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing and Zhang Yunshi who were coming, and smiled slightly.

"When the bell rang just now, I guessed whether the newly promoted Foundation Establishment would be you."

Xu Qing clasped his fists slightly, and took a look at Deacon Li in front of him. Although the other party also concealed his fluctuations, Xu Qing cooperated with the original senses in his memory. At this moment, he faintly felt that Deacon Li should be in the foundation building process, and he looked very strong. .

"It should be the Foundation Establishment that formed the Fire of Fate." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, without making a sound.

"Go in, the elder is waiting for you." Deacon Li looked away from Xu Qing and landed on Zhang Yunshi. Zhang Yunshi shrugged and took a few steps back to wait outside.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and walked forward until he entered the hall that he had visited that day.

At the moment of stepping in, the original feeling came again, the coercion from the first person sitting cross-legged in the hall spread in all directions like mountains and seas.

But this time, Xu Qing saw the other party's appearance clearly.

It was an old man with longevity spots on his face, he was wearing a purple Taoist robe inlaid with gold silk, and he looked at Xu Qing expressionlessly.

The moment the two looked at each other, Xu Qing's mind roared, the other's gaze was like lightning, it seemed to penetrate his body in an instant, and he could see clearly inside him.

But the life lamp covered by Xu Qing's shadow is not detectable by the other party.

"Greetings to the third elder." Xu Qing bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

"At such a young age, it's not bad to open two dharma apertures." The third elder, who was in the top position, spoke lightly, and then said something that shocked Xu Qing.

"You took the mermaid spirit lamp?"

-

How many ammonites did you sleep alone last night?

It's okay, Xiaomengxin is with you...
