Ascension Through Generations

Three days passed by in a flash,

On this day, two dark clouds were blown over the Chu State City by the wind, blocking part of the hot sunshine and bringing a rare coolness to the city.

In the streets and alleys, groups of victims with extremely pale faces huddled together, lying in fear or huddled in the corners.

In order to get a mouthful of food, they not only emptied the last copper plate, but also sold a lot of blood to the blood shop. Their bodies were already extremely weak, and now they only lived on a mouthful of life.

The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians, but countless skinny hands stretched out from the corners. From a distance, it looked like a patch of grass growing on the ground.

The victims desperately hope that some kindhearted people will donate a few coins in exchange for one or two whole-grain pancakes to fill their stomachs.

However... many more victims died every day in Chu City than imagined.

From time to time, corpses that had become hardened by starvation were dragged out of the crowd and thrown onto carts.

The corpses were piled up in a mess, and when it became clear that they couldn't fit any more, the corpse collectors happily pulled up the corpse truck and headed for the yizhuang outside the city.

A corpse can be exchanged for a hundred coins in Yizhuang! If it turns into a corpse, the price will at least increase dozens of times, worth seven or eight taels of silver.

In this day and age, the dead are more precious than the living!

Watching the corpse truck gradually go away, the victims' faces were numb and their expressions were horrifyingly indifferent.

However, there were a few men who were almost drained of blood and looked at the corner where the corpse truck disappeared. They gritted their teeth, staggered up, and followed unsteadily.

They were going to Yizhuang to sell themselves. As long as they became the body collectors of Yizhuang, they would always be able to have a few good meals before they died.

You will die sooner or later anyway, and being a starving ghost is infinitely better than being a starving ghost. After all, the masters in the temple always say that a starving ghost cannot be reincarnated.

Phew~

A gorgeous silver-white flying car roared from afar, quickly passing through many buildings and streets, and flew towards a nine-story high-rise building a few miles away.

At the same time, eight tall and handsome wildebeest horses were running wildly on the street pulling a luxurious carved carriage. People were turned upside down wherever they passed. Some victims were even torn apart by the wildebeest's hooves because of their slow movement. Flying across.

Wu Yifan lifted the corner of the car curtain, revealing a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. He looked at the silver-white speeding car in the sky, and a sinister look appeared on his face.

The next second, the car curtain was loosened and lowered again.

At this time, Wu Yifan was all focused on the upcoming battle, and did not even notice that his carriage had kicked three or four victims to death in a row.

Even if he knew it, he didn't take it to heart at all.

To the high-ranking eldest young man of the Wu family, the victims of the disaster are not even as good as ants, and even thousands of them dying are far less than a word of appreciation from Senior Wuying.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the Yaoyue building. Wu Yifan jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the silver speed car parked at the door, cursed in his heart, and walked into the building with his head held high.

As soon as Wu Yifan stepped into the ninth-floor Moon Viewing Pavilion, he immediately saw the figure of an old friend, so he said hello: "Brother Gu, you came so early!"

Gu Yu turned around and saw that he was here, and immediately smiled and said: "Where is it? Brother Wu, you are not too late! Didn't you say you couldn't come a few days ago? Why are you here again today?"

"I have been thinking about it the past few days, and I always feel that Senior Wuying has a deep intention. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well come over and have a look." Wu Yifan found a seat to sit down and said casually.

When Gu Yu saw this, he didn't reveal his thoughts and just smiled and greeted his old friend for tea.

The two of them drank tea and chatted like this. During this period, Wu Yifan repeatedly inquired about information about Taoist Wuying, but was always teased by Gu Yu in a vague way.

Time passed little by little, and before noon, there were already several figures chatting and laughing in the Moon Appreciation Pavilion.

Three days ago, Zhao Sheng invited a total of eight people.

Three days later, none of the eight people was absent, and they all arrived early to wait.

"Brother Xia, how many spiritual stones have you prepared today?"

"Alas, I am not favored in the family. After a few days of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and borrowing a lot of money, I only got a total of ten thousand yuan. I am worried to death! Brother Zhou, what about you?"

"Me? Not much. I'm probably no different from you, just over ten thousand words."

Gu Yu silently listened to the conversation of the people next to him, secretly estimating whether he could come out on top with the 40,000 spiritual stones he brought.

The reason why the number is forty thousand has something to do with it. Because it "happens" to be the market price of the Blood Spirit Foundation Building Pill.

"We have already failed once! We must seize this opportunity. But is the God of Five Powers really that amazing?"

This thought not only lingers in Gu Yu's mind, but others may also have the same thought.

The sun sets one after another, and night gradually falls.

The atmosphere in the Moon Appreciation Pavilion was extremely solemn, and everyone had been waiting impatiently.

At this moment, a warm voice suddenly sounded in the pavilion: "I have kept you waiting for a long time! The old man is late."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng was already sitting on the chair at the top, wearing a blue Taoist robe, with an aloof and refined temperament.

When everyone saw the real person, they immediately stood up, stroking their chests and saluting: "Junior, pay your respects to Senior Wuying!"

Zhao Sheng raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and at the same time nodded and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone! It's rare that all of you are here. It seems that you have a lot of merit, and you are all destined to be an old Taoist!"

As soon as everyone sat down, someone couldn't restrain his eagerness and asked eagerly: "Senior, I have obtained 16,000 spiritual stones. Is it what you want?"

As soon as they saw someone taking the lead, the others immediately stopped and started talking:

"Senior, I have two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones here. Please accept them."

"It's only two hundred, it's nothing. I, Wu Yifan, have three spiritual stones. I hope senior can accept them together."

Gu Yu was shocked when he heard this. The three spiritual stones were equivalent to about 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

But as we all know, the larger the spirit stone, the rarer it is. Because it has a wider range of uses, its actual value is far more precious than 30,000 spirit stones.

Gu Yu's thoughts turned quickly and he shouted loudly: "Senior Wuying, although this junior only has 30,000 spirit stones. But if senior has any mission, I, Gu Yu, am willing to do my best. I only hope that senior can give this junior a chance."

Looking at the mountains of spiritual stones on the table, Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "Haha, you guys can be taught! It's just a foundation building. The old Taoist Wutong Shen accepted it directly."

When everyone heard this, everyone looked happy and excited.

Even if there were a few people who were dubious about his assurance, they did not dare to show any signs of it at this time.

"Before we talk about foundation building, I'd like to do a small thing first."

Speaking of this, Zhao Sheng's face turned cold, he raised his head to look at the roof, and shouted coldly: "Who is spying in secret? Get out of here!"

As these words fell, Zhao Sheng's eyes instantly shot out two rays of light, and a terrifying mental storm passed away in an instant.

ah!

At this time, a scream suddenly came from the top of the building.

When Wu Yifan heard the scream, his expression changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said: "Third uncle!"

boom!

Before he finished speaking, the roof suddenly shattered. A gray-faced middle-aged Taoist named Zhi Bangbang fell down and fell to the floor. He lay stiffly on the ground, completely unconscious.

Caught off guard, he was attacked by Zhao Sheng's nearly eight-successful God-Slaying Sword Intent. Not to mention that this person was in the late stage of foundation building, even if he was in the Great Perfection of foundation building, he had to lie down on the spot.

With Zhao Sheng's current strength, it has become possible to fight across ranks.

Generally, False Dan Zhenren may not be able to beat him. I am afraid that Jin Dan Zhenren will have to attack with all his strength, of course, provided that he does not escape.

An old monster who has lived for seven lifetimes is so terrifying!

Wu Yifan quickly stepped forward, picked up the middle-aged Taoist priest, and immediately investigated the life and death of his third uncle.

Although the third uncle's face was as golden as paper and he was unconscious, his chest was rising and falling slightly.

Wu Yifan felt relieved when he saw this, and quickly took out many healing pills and poured them all into the mouth of the middle-aged Taoist priest.

After doing this, Wu Yifan raised his head and looked at the top leader, and explained in horror: "Senior, please forgive me! I can guarantee that my third uncle is not malicious. He loves me the most. It should be these days. The junior's act of borrowing the spirit stone accidentally alerted the third uncle. That's why he secretly followed me here."

After Zhao Sheng flicked his fingers on the back of the chair a few times, he said calmly: "Since he is the elder of your family, let him live this time. If he dares to peek in secret next time, he will definitely be killed!"

"Thank you for your generosity, senior. I am very grateful to you!" Wu Yifan quickly saluted Zhao Sheng and thanked him.

The other seven people who witnessed all this were all horrified at this moment.

Because they all know the identity of the middle-aged Taoist priest, they naturally also know his strength in the later stage of foundation building.

At this time, Zhao Shenghun looked at everyone indifferently, and his consciousness was suddenly divided into eight, and he actually transmitted messages to eight people at the same time.

After a moment, everyone suddenly understood, and everyone looked at Zhao Sheng with great respect.

It seems that Gu Yu and others got lucky.

Zhao Sheng dared to say that no one in this world knew more about foundation building than him.

He only imparted some tips and experiences on promotion and foundation building, and also answered everyone's doubts, which convinced Gu Yu and others.

What's more, someone made a promise to let them build a foundation.

By this time, the atmosphere in the Moon Viewing Pavilion had become extremely relaxed and happy, and everyone seemed to see a bright future.

When Gu Yu and the others thought about some of the things their senior had ordered in the message transmission, their hearts tightened and they had already secretly made some kind of decision.

The sun sets over the western mountains and night falls.

The Moon Appreciation Pavilion is empty.

At this moment, a slender figure wearing a mountain pattern Taoist robe suddenly appeared in the center of the room.

This man has a childish face and fair hair, his skin is as tender as a baby, and his whole body exudes a majestic aura as thick as a mountain.

Taoist Que Yue raised his head and looked at the cracked part of the roof. An unusually powerful spiritual thought suddenly enveloped the entire room and began to scan every detail in the room inch by inch.

"That's wrong! How did that kid disappear out of thin air? I can't see any flaws! Impossible, I must have missed it due to my blindness. If I look further, there will definitely be some clues." The man murmured to himself Saying.

However, the more he tried to find clues, the less he could find them. As a result, the storm of spiritual thoughts in the room became more and more terrifying, and finally almost turned into reality and condensed into substance.

At this time, if any Jindan priest in Diancang Province were here and saw this Taoist, they would definitely be horrified.

Because this big shot with the Taoist name Que Yue is a big shot who stands at the pinnacle of Diancang Province. This person is a real great priest of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Queyue Grand Priest is the Supreme Courtyard of the Provincial Temple in Diancang Province. It is responsible for maintaining the rule of Tiandao Sect and secretly monitoring the situation of the province.

Today, when he returned from his travels, he accidentally released his spiritual thoughts to cover the Chu Kingdom City. He wanted to see if there were any "rats" secretly operating in the city.

Unexpectedly, I saw what happened at the Moon Viewing Pavilion by coincidence.

Taoist Que Yue wished that he had no intention of paying attention to this trivial matter, but the sight of Zhao Sheng disappearing out of thin air really shocked him.

Magical powers, trickery or teleportation?

If it's just an unknown magical power, that's all, but if it's really teleportation.

Taoist Que Yue doubted whether his Taoist heart was shaken by this.

You must know that teleportation is a great magical power that cannot be mastered by Yuanying or even the gods.

This is a legendary magical skill that can only be initially mastered after breaking through the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, and being promoted to the realm of integration.

It is impossible for a small foundation builder who has not even condensed the golden elixir to comprehend such great magical powers.

Two quarters of an hour later, still nothing.

Taoist Que Yue withdrew his spiritual thoughts and secretly suspected: "Is it because of a certain fragment of heaven? Does that kid really have such a great blessing?"

"Got to check!"

As the two words fell, there was no trace of this person.

…

Ten days have passed, and the city of Chu State is still calm, as if Taoist Que Yue has no intention of starting a war.

In recent days, many bookstores in the city have put on the shelves a novel called "Journey to the East".

Almost at the same time, storytellers in many restaurants and teahouses in the city suddenly started telling weird and bizarre stories. Most of the protagonists in the stories were a Taoist priest named Zhao.

"Journey to the East" was immediately released on the market and became an instant hit. No ordinary person has ever seen such a witty, interesting, soul-stirring, and touching story-telling novel.

Therefore, most people only read one or two pages and are immediately attracted by the stories in the book and can't stop reading.

Someone quickly noticed the practical alchemy and martial arts recorded at the end of "Journey to the East".

When the first person boldly tried the alchemy and martial arts recorded in the book, he discovered that it was real and effective.

Soon, one after another people came forward one after another to express their own opinions, all claiming that the magic and martial arts in the book were very useful.

As a result, it immediately caused a greater sensation.

In just half a month, the bookstores in the city were sold out. The book printing shops were brightly lit all night, and the book printing craftsmen were busy working, but they could not meet the supply.

A large number of idle men and women went everywhere to promote "Journey to the East", which indirectly greatly accelerated the spread of the book.

Needless to say, the major families in the city secretly contributed to this.

Gu Yu, Wu Yifan and others saw how powerful Zhao Sheng was and got great benefits, so they would naturally devote themselves wholeheartedly to it.

Although "Journey to the East" caused quite a stir, it only affected the lower-class mortals in the city for the time being, and few monks paid attention to this mortal book.

Even if some monks read it, they also discovered the private goods hidden in the book.

But...what does it have to do with them?

There is no conflict of interest and only a fool would pursue the truth behind this book.

What's more, "smart people" have long realized that this book was specially written to promote the Five Powers God.

The Wutong Gods are also considered a powerful group among the wild gods, so there are almost no monks who come forward to destroy other people's good deeds, otherwise they will be backlashed afterwards, and they will die without knowing how.

As for Tiandao Sect and the government in the city.

The government is easy to talk to, and the major families are blocking the way, so they can't cause trouble for the time being.

In addition, perhaps because it has only been published for a short period of time, Tiandao Sect does not seem to have noticed this book.
