Drunk Immortal Gourd

In front of the whole team, there are four more cultivators. An old man at the seventh level of Qi Refining looks calm, and seems to be the one in the middle. A big man at the fourth level of Qi Refining is also wearing standard armor, and should be the leader of the whole team. The other two young men are both at the third level of Qi Refining.

No wonder Ma Xingchen swallowed his anger. The number of people in this team is more than double theirs, and there are fourteen Qi Refining cultivators alone, among whom there are late Qi Refining cultivators. No matter the size or strength, he can't afford to provoke them.

Seeing that the knight team was about to pass, the two young men in front suddenly pulled their horses and turned their heads. The one on the left smiled and said, "Who did I think it was? Isn't this the young master of Mayi Town?"

The one on the right made an exaggerated expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "It's true, brother. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought that there was a famine somewhere. These people don't even have a decent piece of clothing. What's the difference between this and the team fleeing from famine?"

Hearing this, the young man on the left laughed and said, "Brother, what you said is really appropriate. The more I look at it, the more it looks like it. People from poor places are different."

Ma Xingchen had recognized these two people long ago. They are the twin sons of the mayor of Jusang Town under Tongguan Town. The one on the right is slightly older and is called Ju Jiao, and the one on the left is slightly smaller and is called Ju Han. From the dress of this team of knights, it can be seen that the scale and strength of Jusang Town are much larger than Mayi Town. The two places are not far apart and occasionally have private exchanges.

Ma Xingchen, Ju Jiao and Ju Han were of the same age. They had played together when they were young. Of course, most of the time, Ju Jiao and Ju Han teamed up to bully Ma Xingchen. The memory was not very good, so the last thing Ma Xingchen wanted to see when he came to Tongguan County this time was the two people from Ju Sangzhen. However, he did not expect that his luck was so bad that he was caught up by them before he reached the city gate.

Mayi Town is remote and small in scale. The mayor scraped together a 20-man guard team for his son. However, the financial resources were limited, and there were no armor, weapons, or mounts. They only trained hastily for a few days before departure. There were a lot of people, both men and women, young and old, dressed in a variety of ways, and the chaotic appearance did look like a refugee team.

Ma Xingchen knew that he couldn't afford to offend these two, so he could only swallow his anger and said coldly: "Ju Jiao, Ju Han, what do you want to do?"

Ju Jiao rode on the horse, looking down at Ma Xingchen, and said: "Nothing, I just feel a little strange. With your strength, Young Master Ma, you dare to participate in the preliminaries of the Holy Son. You are not here to make a fool of yourself, right? There are only ten places in the preliminaries of the Holy Son in the entire Tongguan County, and there are more than a hundred competitors. Even our brothers dare not hope to hope. Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Without the two of them saying more, Ma Xingchen also knew that his hope of winning was not great, otherwise he would not have hesitated when he saw the Tongguan County just now. But who dares to say that he will not be able to do it without trying? There is only one opportunity to rise to prominence in decades, and his father has spent countless energy for his future. He said that he would fight for it.

Thinking of this, Ma Xingchen said coldly: "Don't worry about whether it's a joke or not."

Ju Han curled his lips and said: "You are really being taken for granted. If that's the case, let's wait and see what you, Young Master Ma, can do to stand out."

After that, Ju Jiao and Ju Han pulled the reins and led a large group of knights to gallop towards the direction of Tongguan County. The old man in the late Qi training stage in the knight team and Ma Shi in the fifth Qi training stage in this team just watched from beginning to end, without moving, speaking, or changing their expressions. Their task was to sit in charge and ignore other mundane matters, let alone participate in such children's bickering, unless the life of their young master was at stake, they would take action.

The knights of Jusang Town left, bringing with them a trail of dust. The people of Mai Town looked at the team in the distance, each with a complicated expression. I won't talk about the others, but Qingyang was getting more and more curious. This was the second time someone had mentioned the pre-selection of the Holy Son. Back then in Mai Town, the mayor had mentioned the pre-selection of the Holy Son. Someone asked about it, but the mayor cleverly changed the subject. Qingyang also noticed it at the time, but he didn't expect to hear about it again today.

Qingyang had heard in the first seven villages that there were a total of seven overlords in the Fallen Ghost Abyss, and the one who controlled this area was called the Infinite Saint. Could it be that this pre-selection of the Holy Son was related to that Saint?

If that was true, that would be a good thing. He was worried that he had no chance to get close to the high-level cultivators of the Fallen Ghost Abyss. If there was a connection, a large number of high-level cultivators would gather together, and it would be much easier to find healing pills at that time.

If there is a chance, I can help this young master Ma. If he can be selected all the way, I can follow him to Kuzhong City, or even to the side of the infinite saint. However, most of my means are restricted, and I don’t know if I can help.

After the people in Jusang Town walked away, Ma Xingchen adjusted his mood and waved his hand. The whole team continued to set off. It took almost an hour for the whole team to finally enter Tongguan County.

After what happened before, Ma Xingchen was not in a good mood, but the people in the escort team were not affected too much. For them, they were used to the hard life of the bottom, and this side was indeed not as good as the other side. It seemed that being ridiculed by them was no big deal. What kind of saint son pre-selection has it to do with them? Just do your job well.

The scale of Tongcoff County is countless times larger than that of Mayi Town. Any narrow street or alley seems to be more upscale than Mayi Town. The luxurious and beautiful houses, the dazzling array of shops, and the monks coming and going make the Three Fatty, Paper Old Man, etc. The guard who came for the first time was almost dazzled.

There were more than 20 people in the team, and food and accommodation were not a small expense. The shops on the street and close to the city center were too expensive, and Ma Xingchen couldn't afford them. In the end, the group found an inn in a remote alley in the city, which happened to have an apartment. There are a total of more than 20 rooms in the compound for multiple people to live in. The price is not expensive, including food and accommodation for everyone, and it only costs one spiritual stone a month.

Everyone stayed in the inn that night. Early the next morning, Ma Xingchen took a few guards out to do business, and left a few guards to stay at the inn. The rest of the people could take turns to go shopping and enter the city. Ma Xingchen had said before that everyone would be given two days off after settling in.

The three people in Touqi Village happened to be taking turns on the first day. The three fat men and the old man Zhi had long heard about the prosperity of Tongcoff County. Now that they finally came here, how could they endure the loneliness? I came to Qingyang early in the morning and asked him to accompany me to go shopping.
