Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Zuo Feng looked at the young man named Liu San, and his eyes couldn't help showing a complex look. In fact, this Liu San is a portrayal of many ordinary people on the continent, and some people's fate is even worse than his.

Kunxuan Continent is based on the strength of the cultivators. The stronger the strength, the more likely they are to occupy a high position and command many low-level warriors to become a hegemon. Of course, not everyone can practice, and ordinary people are not a minority. Most of these people can only live at the bottom, and even such hard labor work is difficult to complete.

Thinking about the original Zuojia Village, the situation was not very optimistic. It was ranked last among the many villages in the Tianping Mountains. Not to mention that Yancheng and other forces did not take their villages seriously, even those villages that were destroyed by Yintuan and Jinyanshan did not take the once nameless Zuojia Village seriously at all.

The real changes in Zuojia Village are all due to the appearance of Teng Xiaoyun, and also because Zuo Feng's grandfather had gone against all odds and kept Teng Xiaoyun and the pregnant Zhuang Yu in the village, which made Zuojia Village emerge as the most powerful village outside Tianping Mountain.

A remote mountain village like Zuojia Village has no capital to learn high-quality skills and martial arts. Even those with superior talents can only reach the bone refining stage at most. If a warrior in the tendon tempering stage appears, it will immediately make the whole village stand out among many villages, but for hundreds of years, there has not been a warrior in the tendon tempering stage in dozens of villages around, which shows how difficult it is.

After Teng Xiaoyun came to Zuojia Village, he took out his own skills and martial arts without reservation to vigorously cultivate the young people in the village. This is naturally due to his gratitude to Zuojia Village for taking him in, and it is also related to his fear that those people would come to the door again.

Zuojia Village gradually rose in a few years, and some surrounding villages immediately adopted a strategy of making friends, and formed an alliance with each other.

If it weren't for the Yintuan and the bandits from Jinyan Mountain, Teng Xiaoyun was also prepared to slowly move into Yancheng after these villages grew stronger. By then, the strength of these villages had risen, and he could slowly retreat behind the scenes, and even stay in the Tianping Mountains with his family.

Although Teng Xiaoyun only revealed a little bit of these plans to Zuo Feng, they were not realized because of many things that happened later, but after experiencing so much, Zuo Feng gradually understood everything.

This young man named Liu San was a little thin, and his skin looked a little dark, probably because he often worked outside. He walked straight to Zuo Feng, looked at Zuo Feng with a little surprise, and then turned around and saluted the fat pig respectfully, but did not speak.

Bald Zhu Fei glanced at Liu San with a sidelong glance, and the contempt in his expression was unmistakable. Although Zuo Feng saw it in his eyes, he also knew that this was the reality. Without strength, he would never be treated in the eyes of others. Although he was valued by the fat pig, the other party also coveted him at the same time.

This is also the current situation on the mainland. Martial artists with low ranks and poor talents will not be taken seriously by others. Wherever they go, they will be looked down upon and ridiculed. Martial artists like Zuo Feng who are talented and have made rapid progress in their cultivation must be careful everywhere, especially guarding against people like Zhu Fei who rely on their strength to kill and rob.

Originally, no matter which empire on the mainland, every major city would have regulations that private fighting is not allowed in the city. This also invisibly gives those martial artists with good qualifications and temporarily low cultivation a relatively stable development space. Of course, most people with slightly better talents will choose to join a force, so that they can also get better training conditions.

But at the same time, they also have to pay a certain price. Some of the prices are to work hard for others, and the worse ones may have to pay the price of their lives for their masters.

Zuo Feng sighed silently, and saw Zhu Fei looking at Liu San with half-open and half-closed eyes and said: "This kid is called, by the way, what is your name?"

It was not until this moment that the bald man remembered to ask Zuo Feng's name. Zuo Feng said directly without even thinking: "Ding Hao".

The bald man was slightly stunned, and then said with a slight sneer: "I didn't expect that a poor boy like you could have such an impressive name. It seems that you must have been born in a wealthy family before, hehe."

The bald man's tone was full of sarcasm, which anyone could hear. Zuo Feng guessed that it must be his fat pig name, which was a bit unbearable compared to his own, so he deliberately laughed at himself.

However, Zuo Feng didn't care about it. Instead, he thought in his heart, 'Is it very impressive? I don't think so. Ding Hao's name is very ordinary, so you can laugh at it casually. Anyway, it's not my real name. '

After the bald man sneered a few times, he also felt a little bored, and then he stopped laughing. Then he turned to Liu San and said coldly: "He is working with you now, and his work does not need to be recorded. You just need to arrange for him to work with you."

After listening, Liu San looked at Zuo Feng in surprise, because the bald man was next to him, and some things were not convenient to say here. Finally, Liu San nodded silently and waved his hand to signal Zuo Feng to follow him. Before Zuo Feng left, he did not forget to thank the bald man repeatedly, with a grateful look on his face.

Following Liu San quickly towards the big ship in front of him, Zuo Feng could still vaguely hear the bald man muttering behind him: "There are still such fools now, willing to work hard here for a meal. Today's luck is really good. All his wages for today belong to me."

The bald man muttered and smacked his lips excitedly. Zuo Feng also sneered in his heart after hearing this. Thanks to this greedy bald man, he did not check his origins too much, otherwise it would be really difficult to get in here.

When he accompanied Su Yan shopping before, he heard that the hired workers here need to be strictly screened, and not everyone can just go to the dock to ask for a job. To do portering here, it is a must to have a certain level of cultivation, and at the same time, you must have a clean family background.

After all, the goods they carry in their hands may be valuables worth thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins. Zuo Feng just wanted to give it a try at first, but he didn't expect to meet such a greedy fat pig. He took him in without a few words.

In fact, the bald man is not just a simple pig-brained person who only knows how to get something for nothing. In fact, since Zuo Feng appeared, he has been carefully testing Zuo Feng's background. Starting from Zuo Feng's cultivation and the purpose of coming to Xinjun City, etc.

This guy was extremely cunning, so he paid more attention to Zuo Feng's reaction during the questioning. But when he found that Zuo Feng was humble and did not show any cowardice in front of him, a top warrior in the Bone Refining Stage, he was sure that Zuo Feng should be fine.

Of course, this was also because he did not know that Zuo Feng's true cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Bone Refining Stage, and with Zuo Feng's current strength, he did not take him seriously at all, so he calmly answered all the questions he asked.

Following behind the young man named Liu San, he carefully chatted with him: "How is this brother Liu San?"

This is a common false courtesy used by people walking in the rivers and lakes. Although Zuo Feng often saw people greet him like this before, it was the first time for him to chat with others in such a lame way. The man named Liu San stiffened slightly, turned his head and looked at Zuo Feng with a complicated expression, and then looked at Zhu Fei who was drinking tea in the distance, revealing a look of wanting to say something but not being able to.

Zuo Feng knew that the other party had some concerns, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Liu San, don't think too much. I just arrived in Xinjun City. Because I couldn't find my relatives, I came here to make a living. This is the first time I met Mr. Zhu today."

Liu San's expression was even more surprised. He looked up and down at Zuo Feng as if he was examining a monster. Zuo Feng knew that the other party had concerns. If he said it unclearly, he would definitely not be able to gain the other party's trust. Seeing that the fat pig asked Liu San to lead him to work, I thought that what I did still depended on Liu San's allocation.

So he explained again: "I actually don't work here to make money, just to make three meals a day. Brother Liu San, don't look at me as thin, but I have a very big appetite. I can make money and find a few places. Others refused to hire me because of my unclear background, so I came here to try my luck."

After listening to this, Liu San's face eased a little. Zuo Feng's appearance was too abrupt, so he naturally had to be more careful. After all, the goods they reported to transport were very valuable.

He smiled and said, "So you have this problem. Because there is no wall in Xinjun City, and people can fight privately outside the dock, they are very careful with outsiders. But since you are working here, don't you want any money?"

When Liu San spoke at the end, his tone was somewhat questioning. It seemed that he was saying that he was too stupid to not even ask for wages just to get a meal.

Zuo Feng felt that although Liu San didn't talk much, he was kind to him, and he couldn't help but have some good feelings for him. Although he felt good about Liu San, Zuo Feng knew that he couldn't reveal anything to him, because Zuo Feng had to guard against Liu San being sent by the fat pig to trap him.

He put on a silly smile and said, "There are a lot of people coming and going at Xinjun Wharf, so I have a great chance of meeting my relatives. And Master Zhu promised to help me find my relatives, so I just need to beg for food and drink here."

Liu San's eyes were slightly sympathetic, but he didn't say anything in the end. His appearance made Zuo Feng feel relieved. Now he was at least 70% sure that Liu San was not sent by the fat pig to test him.

Liu San was talking while walking towards a shop with Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng looked up at the doorplate hanging next to the shop, which read "Shop No. 13". He was secretly surprised and became more careful. At the same time, his eyes slowly turned and swept through the shop as if unintentionally.
