Watching the three big men walk away with their shoulders crossed, Duan Li said angrily, "The leader is called Niu Pang , the person on the left is called Zhu Chong, and the person at the tip of his mouth is called Hou Qiang. The three bad embryos are bullies of the outer sect disciples. Don't provoke them in the future … Oh, right, this spiritual field was originally Zhu Chong's responsibility. He will probably hold a grudge if it was evendured by you!"

Chu Jun frowned and said, "How strong are they?"

"Niu Pang is a level four Physique Cultivator. With a punch of more than 800 jin, Zhu Chong and Hou Qiang are both level two Physique Cultivators!" Duan Li said with a serious expression.

"800 jin of strength!" Chu Jun couldn't help but be secretly speechless. Wouldn't this be able to blow up an ox with a single punch?

"Oh, right, I heard Niu Pang has already glowed with spiritual roots. He swore that he would test his spirit after this year's Martial Arts Gathering!" Duan Li said enviously.

"Martial Arts Association Spirit Trials?" Chu Jun asked doubtfully.

Duan Li explained, "The Martial Arts Gathering is held every year by our sect. The outer sect and inner sect disciples decide on the top ten rewards to encourage their disciples to cultivate diligently. The Spirit Trial is a side event after the Martial Arts Gathering. It is used to recruit new inner sect disciples, provided that there is a spirit root!"

Only those who possessed spiritual roots were suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, they could only cultivate their bodies. However, because some cultivators consumed spiritual beans for a long time, they might be able to radiate spiritual roots and become suitable for cultivation. Spiritual roots radiated by a very small number of people were usually not very outstanding, but things were not absolute. Spiritual roots radiated by a very small number of people would be exceptionally outstanding, even reaching the first grade. The quality of the spiritual roots was divided into seven grades, the first grade was the best, and the seventh grade was the worst.

"Niu Pang claims that he has already radiated his spiritual roots. I'm afraid it won't be a groundless rumor. Remember not to offend him!" Duan Li warned with a serious expression.

The difference between inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples was actually the difference between immortal cultivators and physique cultivators. The status of inner sect disciples was naturally much higher than that of outer sect disciples. If an outer sect disciple offended an inner sect disciple, he would die in vain. If an inner sect disciple killed an outer sect disciple for no reason, the punishment would be heavier only if the circumstances were exceptionally bad. Otherwise, it would only be punishments that did not have to be painful or itchy.

"I'll just avoid them in the future!" Chu Jun nodded.

Duan Li returned the Spirit Reclamation Hoe to Chu Jun and said, "I have already taught everything I need to teach. I still have to go back to work. Let's just do this!" With that, he patted the dust off his clothes and hurriedly left.

Chu Jun thoughtfully looked at Duan Li 's back and secretly said, "I wonder if I have any spiritual roots. It would be good to go and try. The treatment of inner sect disciples is obviously much higher than that of outer sect disciples!"

… dividing line

It took Chu Jun five days to turn over ten acres of spiritual land. It was really hard to imagine what it would be like to cultivate a hundred acres of spiritual land by himself. Just turning over the soil alone could make a person die of exhaustion. No wonder Duan Li only had a chrysanthemum-faced face at the age of forty.

Early in the morning, Chu Jun got up in high spirits. After cultivating the Moon Frost Art for the entire night, his fatigue from yesterday was completely swept away. After practicing for nearly ten days, Chu Jun felt that his speed, strength, and body strength had increased significantly. Thus, he began to cultivate the Moon Frost Art.

Duan Li said that the newly-turned ling fields would be exposed to the sun for a few days so that the sun could kill off the germs in the soil. Thus, Chu Jun planned to sell the three beast crystals in Five Thunder City today and buy some ling beans to put into the ling fields. If it was possible to buy another mount, he could leave the city for a few rounds when he was free.

Five Thunder City was one of the three great cities in Guyuan Continent. It was controlled by the Zhengtian Sect. Most of the people living in the city were body cultivators who lived in a daze. There were also some scattered immortal cultivation organizations. This group of people loved freedom and did not like to restrain themselves, so they did not join any sect. There were three great sects in Guyuan Continent, namely the Zhengtian Sect, the Tenghuang Pavilion , and the Liefa Sect. Each of the three sects had their own city, and the Zhengtian Sect was the weakest among them. The three great sects had once belonged to the same sect, but for some reason, they had split into the three great sects now.

The main gate of the Heaven Gate was located on Lei Yin Mountain in Five Thunder City. Chu Jun walked for half an hour before arriving at the trading area in the city from Lei Yin Mountain . The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and there were even people selling all sorts of things on the streets. Chu Jun looked around the street and stopped in front of a gate.

On the horizontal plaque, there were two large golden-lacquered sword pavilions dancing like dragons and phoenixes!

Chu Jun walked in, and a sturdy body cultivator smiled nonchalantly as he greeted him, "Brother, do you want to buy a finished sword or do you want it tailor-made?"

When Chu Jun came out of the Sword Pavilion, a three-foot-long broadsword, a bronze handle, and a black wooden sword sheath hung on his back. Chu Jun sold three beast crystals to three hundred spirit beans, and fifty large sword flowers. After buying the Spirit Worm, Chu Jun prepared to go take a look at the mount. As long as it wasn't too expensive, he would buy one.

" Chu Jun !" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Jun raised his head and saw two strong men with large swords on their backs standing on the stairs. It was Brother Zhang Meng and Brother Zhang Biao .

"Haha, it's really Brother Chu Jun . He said that I'm not mistaken!" Zhang Biao said in surprise.

Chu Jun couldn't help but reveal a happy expression as he shouted, "Big Brother Meng, Big Brother Biao!"

"Are you well?" Zhang Meng patted Chu Jun 's shoulder boldly.

Chu Jun grinned and said, "Alright!"

"Ha, you really are lucky. I thought you were going to die!" Zhang Biao punched Chu Jun in the chest and continued, "Where are we hanging out now? Why don't we join our brothers? We're just about to go to the Physique Cultivator Guild to receive a mission!"

Chu Jun grinned and said, "I'm temporarily farming in the Zhengtian Sect!"

Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao looked at each other in horror and said in shock, "You entered the Zhengtian Sect as an outer sect disciple?"

Chu Jun nodded his head. The Zhang brothers looked at Chu Jun with envy. This brat was really lucky. He didn't need to spend any more days licking blood with his saber.

Zhang Mengbiao heard that Chu Jun wanted to buy a mount, so the two volunteered to give him a look. Zhang Mengbiao also imparted some of Chu Jun's experiences in choosing a mount. The Zhang brothers familiarly brought Chu Jun to a place that specialized in selling mounts. Dozens of grey-feathered cranes were trapped in the fence, and they stretched their necks to look at Chu Jun and the others curiously.

"Everyone, you can just come to our Baggage Dingtian to buy a mount. Our Baggage Crane is healthy and sturdy. There are absolutely no hidden injuries. Its load will not be less than 300 jin. You can rest assured that the quality of the hundred-year-old shop is guaranteed!" The shop assistant said proudly.

Chu Jun looked around and discovered that these grey-feathered cranes were indeed sturdy. They raised their heads high and were extremely energetic, and their cries were loud and powerful. Zhang Biao pointed at one of them and said, "Brother Chu, take this one. Its fur is shiny and its bone frame is strong enough. Its strength is definitely sufficient!"

A trace of undetectable ridicule flashed through the shop assistant's eyes, but his face revealed a complimentary expression. "This guest officer has good eyesight!"

However, Chu Jun wasn't optimistic about this one. It wasn't necessarily enough for him to be big, and it might even affect his flying speed and endurance because of his weight. Zhang Biao urged, "Brother Chu, I'll take this one. There's no mistake!"

Zhang Meng said, "It's better for Chu Jun to choose for himself. You half-baked brat, stop pointing your finger at me!"

Chu Jun smiled and turned to ask the shop assistant, "Do you only have Grey Feather Crane here?"

The shop assistant was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chu Jun doubtfully and nodded, "This shop only sells flying mounts like the Grey Feather Crane, but I haven't heard of any other kind of flying mounts in any shop, right?"

Zhang Meng sped along with Chu Jun for a period of time, Knowing that this guy sometimes acts like a clubstick that doesn't know anything, "Grey Feather Crane has a docile personality and is the only flying spirit beast suitable for taming as a mount. Other species are either unable to bear the weight or fierce and difficult to tame. Of course, there are experts who can use martial techniques to suppress some high-grade spirit beasts as mounts, but only a very small number of immortal cultivators have this ability. Our body cultivators have a strange idea!"

Only then did Chu Jun realize that he was heading straight to a middle-sized grey-feathered crane. He rolled his wings and looked at it, and said with satisfaction, "I want this one!"

Zhang Biao hurriedly said, "We can't have this one. It's as short as shit. It might have fallen before it could fly into the sky!"

Chu Jun smiled and insisted on buying this gray-feathered crane. The shop assistant revealed a complimentary expression as he thought to himself, "I didn't expect that this brat is the one who knows what to do. This grey-feathered crane is indeed the strongest and most endurance among the fifteen present!"

After some bargaining, Chu Jun finally bought the short gray-feathered crane for two hundred spirit beans, and the shopkeeper even gave it a feeding ring. The clerk put the gray-feathered crane into the captive ring and smiled as he handed it to Chu Jun, "Please take it, sir. Don't break it. Otherwise, if the mount escapes, this shop will not be responsible for it!"

Chu Jun happily put the feeding ring on his belt. He lightly patted his waist and the grey-feathered crane appeared in front of him. He put it away with another patt. It was very convenient. Chu Jun wished he could try riding it immediately.

After the three of them left "Pack the Heavens", Zhang Biao was still complaining that Chu Jun had bought a loss, and he also asserted that he would definitely regret it in the future. Chu Jun smiled indifferently and said, "Although the one I chose is not tall, it is strong enough and has well-proportioned feathers. Most importantly, the tendons on both wings are thick and well-developed. It is definitely an expert at flying!"

"Haha, Brother Chu is the expert!" Zhang Meng laughed. Zhang Biao refused to admit defeat, asserting that Chu Jun would regret it in less than three days.

Zhang Meng glared at Zhang Biao and turned around to ask, "Our brother is planning to go to the guild to receive a mission. Is Brother Chu interested in joining?"

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "The spiritual field has just been dug up, and it will be sown in two days. I really can't spare any time, but I can still follow you to the Body Cultivator Guild to see it!"

The Physique Cultivator Guild was originally set up by a few Tier 5 Physique Cultivators in order to enable them to find a better job. Later on, it gradually developed. The three great sects saw that it was profitable and sent people to intervene. Each inner sect disciple served as the chairman of the Physique Cultivator Guild, managing daily affairs and taking half of the commission for each mission.

The Physique Cultivator Guild of Five Thunder City was located in the center of the city. It covered hundreds of square meters of the main hall. Most of them were body cultivators who were looking for jobs. There were also some Immortal Cultivators who came to issue missions. When these Immortal Cultivators went out hunting, they would hire a few Physical Cultivators to serve as coolies and meat shields. Because Immortal cultivators usually offered generous rewards, and hunting together with Immortal cultivators was safer, the Physique Cultivators were willing to cooperate with Immortal Cultivators.
