There are six such gathering points in the mountains. But because the mountain range is too long and too wide, even with six gathering points, not all lost people can find them. It is a great fortune to be able to encounter such a gathering point in the middle of the night. Many people say that this is not the fate. It was God who wanted to save their lives. In fact, the reason for establishing these gathering points is that too many people died in the mountains. This is a solution people have come up with to deal with this. Many people were indeed saved thanks to this gathering point. Especially the herbalists, some of them don't even have any martial arts skills. Many herbalists have practiced some physical skills, and these people are considered to have very strong abilities.
In fact, there was no danger for Su Chen to spend the night in the wilderness. But it’s also nice to meet people at this gathering point. After a brief exchange, Su Chen became slightly more familiar with the two. I ordered some delicious food at the inn, and would like to invite the two hosts to enjoy it together. In this deep mountain, food is a bit expensive, and the two of them must be reluctant to spend it. Seeing Su Chen being so generous, the two of them felt much better. During the conversation, he asked what he wanted to know, which was the position that Qiu Xiyu gave him. Have I taken a wrong turn? Many obvious signs have been damaged and some cannot be seen. Su Chen felt that he had not taken the wrong path, but he just couldn't confirm it. After hearing Su Chen's question, the two of them took another piece of meat and stuffed it into their mouths, then put down the eating utensils in their hands. “For those of us at this gathering point, we can only point people in one direction. That's the way back. It would be against the rules to tell the customer any other way.” Generally speaking, when someone says that he or she is in a difficult situation, it means that the matter can be discussed. But, just give more benefits. Seeing this, Su Chen did not hesitate. He simply stuffed some money under the table between the two of them. Others have said it is against the rules. If you want others to break the rules, of course you have to pay some benefits.
After receiving some money, the two men were no longer greedy. “Brother, we don’t really know where you are going. There are dangers everywhere in the deep mountains. We usually don't leave the gathering point, but what I can tell you is that there are often experts going in that direction. They are all masters of martial arts. I heard that the place was occupied by some forces. Brother, you'd better not enter there without permission." These two people accepted Su Chen's benefits and indeed gave him some valuable things. With these words, I felt more at ease and knew I had not taken the wrong path. The base here is mainly for taking care of those ordinary herbalists. There is not much they can understand regarding situations related to warrior training. As we chatted, the sky gradually began to brighten. The two of them were going to rest and change shifts, and Su Chen continued on his way. Before leaving, the two of them pointed Su Chen in the direction. Some warriors would also come here to rest on the road, so they had seen a lot of things. But Su Chen needs to pay attention to one thing, that is a no-entry area. If an ordinary herbalist approaches, he will be warned the first time and punished the second time. After hearing this, Su Chen felt a little more certain. No entry required, referral required. Then I didn't take the wrong path. The letter that Qiu Xiyu prepared for himself was to introduce himself. It looks like this is where we are heading now. Thinking of this, Su Chen also quickened his pace slightly. There should be only a few days left before the training starts as Qiu Xiyu mentioned, so we can’t delay any longer. As I moved forward, many of the signs that Qiu Xiyu had told me about were gone. But the direction Su Chen is heading should be correct. After walking for about two more hours, Su Chen saw his destination. I set out at the end of the morning hour and it is not yet noon.
There is also a town-like stronghold at the destination. And it looks even more lively than the previous gathering point. However, this place looks more like a warrior's stronghold. Although we are deeper in the mountains, everything around us is more luxurious. The energy of a warrior's stronghold is indeed different, and the resources that can be controlled are also completely different from those of ordinary people. This is the role of strength. As long as you are strong enough, others will try their best to overcome all difficulties to meet your needs. We ordered some snacks at a restaurant in the small town and had a bite to eat first. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to find out some information. But before Su Chen could go and inquire about the relevant situation, someone came forward to ask. "I'm looking for Kim Jong Seo Seung-young." "It's the first courtyard on the southwest side. Don't go the wrong way." After hearing Su Chen's answer, the visitor said nothing more. It's enough to be sure that the person I'm looking for is here. I don't ask for anything else. Before going over, Su Chen planned to learn more about the situation here. He called the waiters from the restaurant to his side and asked them for some information. This boy is just an ordinary citizen, and the problem can be solved by giving some money. He definitely doesn't know much, but after hanging around here for many years, he must know something. Su Chen just wanted to know some of the most basic situations. Including this area, which force it belongs to. And what kind of experience was it? I saw the money Su Chen handed over and heard the questions Su Chen asked. The servant's face was full of joy, and he explained to Su Chen enthusiastically. The question Su Chen asked was really not a secret. He did know, and it was not a secret between either side. Telling it to others would bring trouble. It's something very common and everyone knows about it. “You are a new visitor to Tianxuan Town, and the person who introduced you to it probably hasn’t discussed the mysteries of this place with you in detail. The reason why our Tianxuan Town is valued by so many martial arts elites is the Tianxuan Waterfall in the back mountain.
The training you mentioned should have taken place at the Tianxuan Waterfall. As for how to conduct this training, please forgive me, I really don’t know much about it.” The servant paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing that Su Chen did not ask any further questions about this matter, he began to continue talking. “As for the guest, you asked about the affiliation of our forces here. There are a lot of things to say, there are a total of six forces that jointly manage this place. The Jinzhong Society, the Hongyi League, the Qin League, the An Pavilion, the Chen Family and the Xue Family. If you want to come here, you must be invited by one of these six forces." Before the servant finished speaking, Su Chen had already started asking about other matters. "Do you know who is behind these six companies?" "behind?" The servant was stunned for a moment. He probably had never thought about this question before. In his eyes, the people in power in Tianxuan Town are these six forces. They should be the decision-makers. Su Chen's question clearly went beyond what he had thought. In his eyes, the six forces were already huge monsters. He hadn't thought in that direction, and hadn't anticipated or expected it at all. "Forget it, just tell me what you know." Su Chen did not ask any other questions and let the servant say whatever he thought. Su Chen was very sure that behind these six forces, there must be the shadows of other major forces. Qiu Xiyu said that the training here would be extremely helpful for fifth-grade warriors. A fifth-grade warrior is one who is prepared to be a strong person in the state of transformation. Don't the big sects want to control a training ground that can provide assistance to fifth-grade warriors? How many people in this world are stuck at the fifth level and unable to move forward? Saying that the number is one hundred thousand is probably an understatement, right? Mastering this precious place for training would definitely be of great help to one's own sect. There is only one possibility for a small sect to control such a precious land. Just don't let outsiders know. Outsiders don’t know that only small sects like theirs have the possibility to monopolize such precious land. Once others find out, how can a small sect like theirs occupy such a precious land? Although Su Chen is not well-known, he has read relevant books about the State of Jin. These six forces should not even be considered third-rate.
Even if we unite, we are not qualified or capable of occupying such a precious land. The only possibility is that there are other powerful forces behind them. Behind each of the six forces, there must be one or more forces backing them. Su Chen heard a lot of basic things from the servant in front of him. He only knows the basics. He didn't know anything else, not even where the Tianxuan Waterfall was. The main task for these ordinary people here is to do odd jobs. Stay in Tianxuan Town all day. Once you leave Tianxuan Town, there is no peace outside. Not to mention whether you might encounter monsters, if the terrain is a little complicated, it is easy to fall and get injured. How could ordinary people dare to leave the town to see the Tianxuan Waterfall? After eating something, Su Chen prepared to go look for someone. Su Chen remembered the first courtyard on the southwest side clearly. After quickly arriving at the location, Su Chen realized that this was not the yard he was looking for the person. It is the place where the six forces are unified. Su Chen handed over his token, the jade token that Qiu Xiyu gave him. At the gate of the courtyard, he saw Su Chen handing over the token. The attendant who came to receive him no longer tried to stop Su Chen. Instead, he led Su Chen to the inner courtyard and took him to a guest hall to rest. "Sir, please wait here. We will go and inform them. The host responded, and I came here immediately to pass on the message." Su Chen nodded, drank some tea here, and waited patiently. The waiting time was a little long, and servants came to convey messages in the middle. They said they were discussing something and we had to wait a moment. About half an hour later, the servant who went there first finally returned. There was some apology on his face, and he apologized repeatedly when he saw Su Chen. His attitude was several times better than the last time he met Su Chen. Su Chen felt that this should be in the past tense, and he received instructions from the people above.
The jade token that I handed over was given to me by Qiu Xiyu of the Qiu family. The Qiu family is of distinguished status, so the token of trust she gave would naturally gain more respect. "Sir, are you the only one coming here?" Su Chen nodded, then looked up at the attendant in front of him: "It's just me, is there any problem?" "I'm just asking casually. Please don't mind. Come with me. The host is already waiting in the inner courtyard." After saying this, the attendant began to lead the way. Su Chen followed them. These servants seemed to be referring to the masters when they addressed the people above them. It is quite different from the names of other forces. But Su Chen could also understand. In Tianxuan Town, there are six people in power. The six forces have different customary names. Use the host's name uniformly and everyone will accept it. All the forces should hope that they can be called the masters of Tianxuan Town. This name is also quite popular. Su Chen looked into the distance and saw a stone bridge on the outskirts of Tianxuan Town. Follow the attendant all the way to the stone bridge. After crossing the stone bridge, you will pass through a corridor covered with vegetation. No wonder it took so long to go back and forth, the distance is a little far. After walking like this and passing several checkpoints, I finally saw a wide courtyard in front of me. The courtyard is built against the mountain. The back half of the entire courtyard seems to be embedded in the mountain. From the outside, it does look quite imposing. This place is where those in power in Tianxuan Town stay. The layers of checkpoints blocked ordinary people and many people with insufficient status. This courtyard is very spacious. The servant led the way in front and took him towards the side door. From a distance, a lot of noisy sounds could be heard.
This side door direction is not as quiet as before. There are many voices of young people discussing, joking, teasing and joking. Judging from the noise, there were quite a lot of people, probably more than ten. The servant led the way and pushed open the side door of the courtyard. Then he stepped inside. When the sound of the door being pushed open was heard, there was a brief silence inside. After seeing Su Chen clearly, many young people around him started laughing. Su Chen didn't know what they were laughing at. There were men and women, all looking at Su Chen, then at someone in the crowd. The laughter continued. "He really came alone, just a man, hahahaha~" "You don't believe it, right? Now that someone else is in front of you, you still don’t believe it?” A group of people around were teasing and joking with a young man. The young man's face turned pale at this moment. His gaze fell on Su Chen from time to time, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. The young man was really angry. However, Su Chen still found it difficult to understand why he was angry. I can't see the reason. This is my first time here, and I have never had any contact with them before. However, after hearing the meaning of their words, Su Chen had some vague guesses. There is a high probability that it is related to Qiu Xiyu. "Brother Qiming, I wonder when you will honor the banquet we owe you? This person has already walked up to you, he won't refuse to pay, right?" Around them, one of them asked with a smile. The young man they were questioning was named Xu Qiming. Faced with these questions, he said nothing and continued to look at Su Chen coldly. Seeing that he didn't say anything, the young man who had just spoken stopped questioning Xu Qiming. Instead, he walked in front of Su Chen.
"Where did your jade token come from?" "Given by the Qiu Family's Fairy Qiuxiyu." Su Chen replied calmly. The address in Su Chen's answer made Xu Qiming's heart tighten even more. (End of this chapter)
