I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

The sun sets.

Before night falls, Zhao Heng has returned to the inn room.

At this moment, he sits cross-legged on the bed, frowning slightly, with a slightly depressed expression.

After wandering around the city for a day today, Zhao Heng has a more detailed understanding of this Iron Blood City.

In Iron Blood City, ordinary people and monks live together, the city is prosperous, and the trade is developed.

However, in the city, all shops related to monks have extremely strict divisions and regulations.

Except for a market specially divided by Iron Blood City, only some casual cultivators or ordinary people are allowed to set up stalls to sell some low-level scattered goods.

Only the Iron Blood Gate itself and the twelve merchants who have obtained permanent residence qualifications have the right to operate formal shops.

Only they can sell a large number of spiritual medicines, weapons, formations, talismans, and various materials...

Among them, they also sold many tools that Zhao Heng had never seen before, which were specially used by "body forgers" and "divine masters", as well as some elixirs with special effects, which opened Zhao Heng's eyes.

However, what made Zhao Heng depressed was that there was no blood crystal for sale in the city.

After some inquiries, he found out.

Blood crystals are extremely useful, whether it is cultivation, refining, refining elixirs or making talismans...blood crystals can be used.

But blood crystals can only be condensed in the bodies of monsters above level three, and they are scarce resources that are difficult to obtain.

The Iron Blood Sect has a strict order that any individual or force is prohibited from trading blood crystals privately.

At the same time, the Iron Blood Sect also purchases blood crystals at market prices, so almost all the blood crystals in the entire city flow to the Iron Blood Sect.

And the Iron Blood Sect will not sell blood crystals, all blood crystals are digested internally by the senior leaders and disciples in the sect.

Although under the heavy pressure of the Iron Blood Sect, some people still took risks and sold blood crystals privately.

But most of these blood crystals were of high value, uneven quality, and extremely limited in quantity, which obviously could not meet Zhao Heng's needs.

"This is a bit troublesome."

In the next few days, Zhao Heng went out every day and continued to wander around the city.

During this period, he also sold a low-grade Xuanbing in exchange for thousands of low-grade Xuan crystals.

Then he bought items in some shops or vendors in the city, and took the opportunity to inquire about the information about the Iron Blood Sect.

After some exploration, Zhao Heng had a deeper understanding of the Iron Blood Sect.

The entire Iron Blood Sect has thousands of disciples, including hundreds of Qi Refiners in the Bone Refining Realm, and dozens of masters at the level of Refining Organs.

The leader of the Iron Blood Sect, "Tie Xiong", and the four elders under him are all powerful people in the Ascension Realm.

It can be said that the Iron Blood Sect is the real local emperor of this city, and it has the final say.

Zhao Heng wanted to obtain a large amount of blood crystals in Tiexue City, so he had no choice but to avoid this force.

Although Zhao Heng had obtained a lot of blood crystals in that forest before, his blood and qi power had recovered to the combat power of the middle stage of the refining organ realm.

Coupled with his abnormal physical defense, he had no opponent in the acquired realm.

But it was still a bit risky to face the innate master now.

If he was accidentally exposed, his secrets would most likely attract the real masters of the outer turbid world.

Therefore, the idea of ​​robbing Tiexuemen only stayed in Zhao Heng's mind for a moment before being rejected.

"It seems that we have to think of a way to contact Tiexuemen."

Zhao Heng also thought about joining Tiexuemen directly, but that would be too deliberate and easy to arouse suspicion.

He needed a suitable opportunity.

Just as Zhao Heng was thinking about this problem, he was in a state of hesitation.

"Dongdongdong...!"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Heng's consciousness swept through it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Then, Zhao Heng got up and opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and a beautiful girl in a yellow skirt appearing outside the door.

"Master Song, Miss Song, it's you."

The visitors turned out to be Song Xinghe and Song Shanshan.

Since arriving in Tiexue City a few days ago and staying in the inn, Song Xinghe gave him a residence token and 100 black crystals.

The master of the Song family went out early and came back late every day, and he was not seen all day.

And Miss Song, not to mention, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Heng all the way.

Since entering the city, he didn't want to look at Zhao Heng any more, and the two sides had almost no intersection.

Now that the father and daughter came to his door, he was a little surprised.

Moreover, he could see the sadness and anxiety on Song Xinghe's face, and the reluctance on Song Shanshan's face.

"What do you two have to do?"

Song Xinghe forced a smile and said, "There are indeed some things I want to discuss with Mr. Zhao."

"Then please come in." Zhao Heng invited the two into the house.

Song Shanshan was still a little reluctant, but Song Xinghe glared at her and she had to follow him into the room.

The three of them sat down at the round table in the outer room. Zhao Heng poured tea for the two of them and asked casually.

"What is the purpose of the Song family's visit?"

Song Xinghe drank a sip of tea, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, you should know.

Song's family moved to this Tiexue City, and they also wanted to take root here and continue to run the family business."

Zhao Heng nodded and continued to listen.

Song Xinghe said again: "You have been in the city for a few days, and you must have heard about the rules for outsiders to do business in Tiexue City."

Zhao Heng said: "Indeed, I have heard that in Tiexue City, in addition to the Tiexuemen's own shops, there are only twelve merchants in the city who can open shops here and run businesses related to cultivators."

Song Xinghe nodded and added: "Yes, the Tiexue Gate stipulates that there can only be twelve permanent foreign merchants in the city.

At the same time, Tiexue City will hold a selection competition every three years, and only the twelve winning merchants can obtain the business qualification.

If my Song family wants to take root in Tiexue City, we must get a quota."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Is the head of the Song family looking for me for this matter?"

Song Xinghe smiled awkwardly and nodded.

"Yes, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao to represent my Song family in this qualification selection competition."

When these words came out, Zhao Heng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"This matter is so important to the head of the Song family. You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will mess it up for you?"

Zhao Heng has long seen that although Song Xinghe is kind and trustworthy, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to accumulate such a large family business.

From his performance along the way.

A normal person would think that he is a person who has no real ability and fishes in troubled waters.

But now, the other party has handed over the important task of the family's future to him, which inevitably makes him a little confused.

Song Shanshan, who was standing aside, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Dad, you see, even he knows that he will mess up. Let's not waste time on him. Let's go to the city to look for him again."

"Shanshan, shut up and don't talk nonsense!" Song Xinghe scolded hurriedly.

Then, he looked at Zhao Heng again.

"Mr. Zhao, Song will not hide it from you.

Before this, I really didn't want to come to you, but planned to hire a master in the city with a lot of money to fight for my Song family."

Zhao Heng said calmly: "This is a solution, then why did the head of the Song family come to me again?"

Song Xinghe couldn't help but sigh.

"To be honest, I have been looking for information about the selection competition in the city these days and learned the rules of the competition.

The merchants participating in the competition can only send one cultivator in the post-natal realm as a representative.

The representatives in previous years were almost all Qi cultivators in the refining organ realm, or a few body forging cultivators and divine masters comparable to this realm.

Now my Song family no longer has masters of this realm, so I can only recruit them everywhere in the city.

But I didn't expect that the post-natal masters with a little fame in the city were recruited in advance by the original twelve shops in Tiexue City.

And some masters in the refining organ realm with weaker cultivation were also hired in advance by foreign caravans that arrived earlier than us.

Now, I really... have no one to find!"

Hearing this, Zhao Heng showed a look of realization.

It seems that the head of the Song family has been forced into a corner.

Looking at Song Xinghe with a hopeful face, Zhao Heng couldn't help but joke.

"But you, the head of the Song family, don't know my strength. Do you really dare to trust me?"

Song Xinghe smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know Mr. Zhao's strength, but from the way we get along, I can at least see that you, Mr. Zhao, are definitely not a treacherous person.

We have gone through so much trouble to reach Tiexue City this time. We really can't lose this opportunity. I must take a gamble!"

Song Xinghe said this in a decisive manner, with a sense of desperate.

Seeing Song Xinghe's resolute expression, Zhao Heng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"Forget it, the head of the Song family trusts Zhao so much, I, Zhao Wuji, will take action once!"

"Really?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's promise, Song Xinghe was immediately surprised.

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "I can fight for the Song family, but I have a condition."

"Mr. Zhao, just tell me what the conditions are." Song Xinghe said without hesitation.

"Blood crystal, I need a lot of blood crystal!"
