"Soul Tower, what is this place?"

Li Chen looked at Ning Hua and asked suspiciously.

Ning Hua explained: "The Soul Condensing Tower is our cultivation holy place in Ningling County, and it can condense the divine soul. The tower is divided into nine floors, and the higher it goes, the stronger the amplification effect on the soul. However, in the past 100 years, the highest record has only seven layers. ”

Li Chen immediately became interested and asked, "Then how can I get in?" ”

Ning Hua said: "This Soul Condensing Pagoda is opened once every three years, and it is set on the third day of March every year, and in ten days, it will be opened. ”

"However, except for the county guard mansion and the core disciples of the seven major sects, if other outsiders want to enter the tower, they must spend spirit stones to buy the tower guide. However, one piece costs 3,000 spirit stones, which is far from what ordinary people can afford! ”

Speaking of the "3,000 spirit stones", Ning Hua's gaze was a little gloomy.

Their Ningjia Fort makes a profit every year, although there are fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones. But in the whole village, there are 5,000 mouths to eat, to dress, to get rid of these daily expenses, as well as to pay the taxes of the county guard, and to pay filial piety to some big bandits, all year round, there is basically not much left.

However, Li Chen is not worried about the matter of the spirit stone at all, he now has a small three million yuan of spirit stone in his hand alone, and he is not the master of the poor money at all.

It seems that after entering Ningling County, it is necessary to go to this Soul Condensing Tower.

Along the way, Li Chen knocked on the side again and asked some questions about Yunhai Sect.

What he asked was not a secret, and Ning Hua was very happy to answer for him.

After this conversation, Li Chen had a general understanding of the Yunhai Sect and the entire Yunhai Continent.

Before they knew it, they had come to the gate of Ningjiabao.

The so-called gate, that is, a rough wooden door made of large wooden stakes, can be collapsed by Li Chen with one punch.

Ning Changhe, the owner of Ningjiabao, heard that his son and they went into the mountains to hunt and encountered wolves, so he took the villagers and hurried out.

Some of the women who were leading the children saw the corpse of their man, and they fell on their stomachs and wept.

For a time, a shadow of sadness hung over the entire village.

There was also a cardamom girl, who was handsome, and had a thin body, and when she saw Zhang Zhong who was being carried on a stretcher, she also ran over and cried.

"Daddy, why is your arm gone?"

Zhang Zhong stretched out his only arm, stroked the girl's face, and said weakly: "Xiu, don't cry, Daddy is fine, it's just that one arm is missing, it's not in the way!" ”

Ning Hua stepped forward and explained what happened in detail. and solemnly introduced their savior, Li Chen.

When Ning Changhe heard that Li Chen was still an eighth-grade alchemist, his eyes also lit up suddenly.

Even if the other party is not their life-saving benefactor of Ningjiabao, just by virtue of the identity of this eight-rank alchemist, it is enough to become their guest.

Ning Changhe led a group of elders and saluted Li Chen repeatedly.

Li Chen bowed slightly, signaling them not to be polite. He didn't like such a scene, and after a casual perfunctory sentence, he prepared to rest on the grounds of exhaustion.

After Li Chen left, Ning Changhe held a clan meeting to discuss three issues.

First, how to deal with the pension of these 20 villagers and the support of their respective families.

This problem is easy to solve, everything has family rules, just follow the regulations.

The second is that they will set off tomorrow to send medicinal materials and animal skins to the Renhe Chamber of Commerce in the city. The agreed date is a must-see.

But in their village, more than 20 good players were killed and injured at one time. Zhang Zhong, the number one master in the fort, was also crippled because of this, and his strength was greatly weakened. And along the way, bandits are very rampant, and I am afraid that there will be danger.

This question is relatively tricky. Some people suggested that they go to the nearby Dawangzhuang and Zhangjiazhuang to borrow some people, and some people proposed to prepare more spirit stones for those mountain bandits who blocked the road and robbed them as road money.

Both of these proposals are not bad. But they all have one thing in common: money!

And now the biggest problem in Ningjiabao is also the lack of money.

Just when everyone was arguing, Ning Hua suddenly stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet first.

Immediately, he cleared his throat and said, "Dad, don't bother. Engong Chen Li is not only an eighth-level alchemist, but his cultivation is also very strong, and he killed the leader of the fourth-order early demon beast Qinghuo Wolf with one palm, and his strength is by no means below Uncle Zhong. ”

"And he will also go to Ningling County with us tomorrow, just so that everyone is traveling together, and there is a good care on the way!"

Hearing Ning Hua's words, Ning Changhe and the others were overjoyed.

Immediately, they began to discuss, the third thing, how to win over "Chen Li"?

Now they have lost more than 20 good players in Ningjiabao, and their strength has plummeted. If there is no master in charge, I am afraid that the future will be extremely difficult.

And the sudden appearance of "Chen Li" made them see a ray of light.

"Chen Li" is not only strong in cultivation, but also an eight-grade alchemist. As long as he is in charge, no one will dare to come to the door to provoke the mountain bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles.

But what makes them headache is, what kind of price should they pay to win over "Chen Li"?

The easiest way is to use money and resources.

But their Ningjiabao is now poor, and even if they take out all their family resources, people may not be able to look at them.

Secondly, it is through the so-called marriage.

The most delicate woman in Ningjiabao is naturally Ning Yu.

However, Ning Yu was the first to stand up against it.

She is a disciple of the Dongling Pavilion of the human-level sect, her heart is higher than the sky, and she doesn't look down on "Chen Li" at all.

And recently, she has been fighting with an inner disciple of the same sect, and she is expected to catch a golden beetle son-in-law, how can she destroy her future.

"Chen Li" is an eight-rank alchemist, although he is very popular, but after all, he is just a casual cultivator, and his appearance is also plain. Whether it is fighting for the future or for appearance, it is not as good as her current ambiguous object.

"That girl from Zhang Zhong's family, Zhang Lingxiu should be in time this year, I think that girl looks very smart, and when her body is completely grown, she must be a beauty. Chen Li's little brother is her father's life-saving benefactor, both public and private, she has to repay others! ”

The so-called repayment, self-evident, is naturally a personal promise.

Hearing this proposal, everyone else also agreed.

Although this is definitely a little unfair to Zhang Lingxiu's girl.

But in the eyes of these people, survival is the number one priority.

Moreover, they didn't feel that this was cheating Zhang Lingxiu, but they also thought that this was compensation for their Zhang family.

You must know that an eight-grade alchemist like "Chen Li", for a family like their Ningjiabao, is an absolute dragon among people, even if he gives his daughter to someone else as a concubine, it is also a high climb.

This means that from now on, she will be a little girl, and she will have to eat and drink spicy food and spicy food, and she will have no worries for a lifetime. Such a good thing is hard to find with a lantern......
