Zhang Zheng was no longer among the discussing disciples. When the outcome was decided and the protagonist left the stage, she left the crowd. Also disappearing quietly with her was an inner disciple on the high platform.

This game was a wonderful one, and the two protagonists were also very heroic. Zhang Zheng benefited a lot from it, and his mood improved a little. This is an understanding that cannot be obtained by just reading a book.

She doesn't plan to watch the next few games. Since Senior Brother Lu is already one of the strongest combatants in the outer sect, then today's competition is probably the most powerful one in the entire outer sect test. The other competitions are not.

Just watch it.

After meditating and digesting the insights he gained from watching the game today, Zhang Zheng took the time to practice for two more days.

The outer sect test has come to an end, and the names of the monks who have won the top 50 in this test are posted on the outer sect list, and the name at the top of the list is "He Youkang".

For a time, this previously unknown name in the outer sect spread throughout the outer sect, and even many inner sect disciples had heard of it.

It is worth mentioning that a total of 21 people entered the inner sect in this outer sect test, and four of them, including He Youkang and Lu Fan, were accepted by the inner sect elders.

In the past, there were only one or two people at most, but this time there were four people, which is really enviable.

As for which elder these four people had joined, Zhang Zheng didn't bother to ask, but he didn't know.

Her understanding of the Tao has reached a small bottleneck. Without an opportunity, it will be difficult to break through. She doesn't know when the opportunity will come. However, after observing the outer sect test, she has a deeper understanding of her low cultivation level.

.

With such cultivation, even if the opportunity comes, she may not be able to seize it, and instead loses her life for it.

She temporarily quit the chores in the alchemy hall and planned to retreat for a period of time to concentrate on practicing. The fourth and fifth levels of Qi training are a threshold. The latter will be considered as entering the middle stage of Qi training, and her combat power will be greatly improved. First, she will

Let’s raise our cultivation level to the fifth level of Qi training.

Since she didn't need to eat, she stayed in seclusion for half a year and finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi training.

There are still two years left, and this year's disciple examination is about to begin. As far as she knows, the disciples who started with her are generally at the sixth or seventh level of Qi training. The higher you go, the harder it is to advance. There is a gap in the same level of cultivation.

The bigger it gets.

It is said that if you reach the realm of enlightenment, the gap will be overwhelming. Dozens of early-stage monks can be easily solved by the mid-stage monks with just a snap of their fingers. But this is not what Zhang Zheng, who is still in the Qi refining stage, needs.

Something to consider.

I don't know if I can pass the test then. It would be embarrassing to be kicked out of the sect like this.

After taking off the communication charm attached to the door, a message from half a day ago popped up.

"Junior Sister Zhang, Senior Brother Tan and I accidentally discovered a secret place. If you are willing to go with us, please meet at Nanshan Gate tomorrow morning - Hua Minglan."

Cave...

It is not that Zhang Zheng has never explored the caves, but they are all open to the public. After being explored by predecessors, there will not be any dangers that cannot be dealt with.

Senior Sister Yihua said that this time the cave has probably not yet been born, and we don’t know what the master of the cave is and what dangers there may be inside.

But she would never be willing to give up just now. An unborn cave means the hiding place of the cave owner's treasures during his lifetime. The temptation is something that only a few people can resist, and so can she.

Zhang Zheng really didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

She would not think that Senior Sister Hua was lying to her. After all, Senior Sister Bai Hua knew that she was poor. Furthermore, she and Senior Sister Hua had gone on several missions together. The two of them were rare close partners in the outer sect. Moreover, Senior Sister Hua was frank and honest.

.

She really had no reason to lie to her.

Now that you have decided to explore this strange cave where the safety is unknown, you must be well prepared to avoid risking your life in it.

The first thing is some protective props.

Eight years after starting the business, Zhang Zheng rarely visited the market at the foot of the mountain, and the few times she did so were just to buy a few talismans at a bargain price.

This time is no exception.

There is no time in the mountains, and people will die when they return.

Eight years is by no means a short time in the mortal world. In the era of war, the dynasty may have changed several generations. But in the world of cultivation, which often spends dozens or even hundreds of years in seclusion, eight years is nothing at all.

The market had not changed much from the first time she came there, except that the people setting up stalls and selling goods came and went.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. There are all the first-order elixirs. Come and take a look..."

"The products produced in the secret realm must be high-quality products. They are all unique treasures produced in the secret realm of Haoshan. Come and choose. Come and choose..."

"Sell spiritual beasts! Sell spiritual beasts! If you chase a fairy, give her a spiritual beast!"

…

The shouting and selling sounds are different from those in the ordinary world, and they are even more boastful and boastful, which also reflects the liveliness and excitement of the market on the other hand.

Zhang Zheng walked around and took a look, but did not stop. This time she did not plan to buy from the street stalls. Although the street stalls were cheap, they did not have high-end goods.

She would not be confident that she was like the unfaithful protagonist in the novel, who would just find some ancient artifact or noble beast at a street stall... With her bad luck, she would only end up with nothing in the end.

What she is going to this time is Wanjinlou, one of the best markets in the market. It is known as the first floor in Xichuan Realm and contains rare things in the world. Of course, this is just a branch, not so grand. The most prosperous main store is naturally in the most prosperous area.

Huayue is also the residence of the Qin and Jiang families among the three major families. It can be said that every inch of land and every inch of gold there is a paradise on earth.

"Guest, what do you need?"

As soon as I stepped into Wanjin Tower, a woman in pink clothes, Pingping, came up to me and asked respectfully.

It was the first time Zhang Zheng came here, and she really didn't know the layout inside, so she asked, "Excuse me, where is the place that sells talismans or self-defense equipment?"

The woman tilted her head and pointed in the direction, and returned in a warm voice: "Turn left on the first floor for Talisman. There are related magic tools on the second and third floors for self-defense equipment. Customers can choose by themselves, or the clerk can introduce it to you.

"

"It's okay, I'll just take a look at it myself."

Zhang Zheng first went to the talismans area on the first floor. There were three high walls and thousands of talismans of various types displayed behind the transparent crystal cabinets, which was dazzling.

There are many low-grade spiritual stones that are cheap, ranging from three to four pieces that are expensive, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. The variety can fully meet the needs of most customers.

The fourth skill is really a huge profit! Zhang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, but it's a pity that she really has no talent in the fourth skill. She spent two or three months getting into contact with the fourth skill, and she spent a lot of energy on it, but in the end she couldn't do anything.

Entry-level.

No longer looking at high-end products that cost tens of millions of spiritual stones, I honestly bought two Invisibility Talisman, two Fire Sword Talisman and a Thousand Miles Talisman for escaping.

When she went up to the second floor, she saw a dazzling array of jewels and magical instruments that almost blinded her eyes. Compared with the first floor, it was like heaven and earth. This Wanjin Building has four floors in total, and she didn’t know what the two floors above were.

What a gorgeous scene, it must be even better than this second floor.

After marveling at the magnanimity of Wanjin Tower for a while, Zhang Zheng walked straight towards the display of defensive magic weapons.

The forms of defensive magic weapons are more diverse than those of attack magic weapons. The most common ones are hairpins, necklaces, bracelets and other exquisite and beautiful accessories that women love.

There is an introduction to the grade and function of each magic weapon in front of it. After a quick glance, the highest grade placed in front of me is only the third level. The grade classification of the magic weapon is roughly similar to that of elixirs, divided into nine levels, with three levels per level.

, and the highest known magical weapon in Jiuzhong is nothing more than the Heavenly Ax of Wanxuan Sect Protector, which is a seventh-level high-grade weapon. Beyond the ninth-level, there are still ancient spiritual weapons and divine weapons that have no grade, but these are only legendary ones now.

Something.

I think higher-level magic weapons can only be purchased on the upper two floors.

Zhang Zheng didn't plan to buy a high-end magic weapon, and on the other hand, her empty wallet couldn't afford it.

After looking around, she finally settled on a circular magic weapon.

The second-level low-grade magic weapon - the Reunion Ring, a defensive earth-type magic weapon, can withstand damage below the foundation level three times and the foundation level once. Wearing method: can be used as a neck ring.

Although the name is not very nice, the function is still good, but the way of wearing it is a bit too strange. Who would wear such a thumb-thick jade ring on the neck, especially when the jade ring is engraved with many golden albizia flower patterns?

Inexplicably, it's a bit shameful, but also a bit rich like the stupid son of a landlord.

Zhang Zheng compared several magical weapons, each with its own advantages, which made people a little confused. However, her little confusion subsided like an ebbing tide after asking about the price.

Five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!

Zhang Zheng was simply stunned by the price. She knew that magic weapons were expensive, but she didn't expect them to be so expensive. In comparison, the Reunion Ring of the same grade only cost 4,500 lower-grade spiritual stones.

The total number of spiritual stones on Zhang Zheng's body is only 5,672 yuan. These are the monster skins, monster pills, and some miscellaneous spiritual herbs and pills that she has accumulated over the years.

A little bit of savings.

Unexpectedly, today I would be back as a poor monk here. The little shame in my heart seemed insignificant under the gap of five hundred spiritual stones.

Although her flesh ached tightly, she would not hesitate in the slightest. The spiritual stone was used for cultivation. How could she continue to practice if she could not save her life? She would really feel heartbroken if she missed the opportunity of the cave because she was reluctant to part with the spiritual stone.

Enduring the pain and paying the spirit stone, Zhang Zheng preciously put the reunion ring into the shriveled storage bag.

Just as he was about to leave from the second floor, he heard a commotion coming from upstairs.

"Bang -" there was a loud noise, and then a figure hit Zhang Zheng hard, making a shallow crater on the white stone floor.

Zhang Zheng quickly took a few steps back and raised his gaze.

With fluttering butterflies in red clothes flying like flames, a young girl stood on the steps of the third floor, looking down at the people lying on the ground.

The delicate phoenix eyes with slightly raised corners are full of mockery and disdain, the red lips are slightly raised, the expression is wanton and arrogant, and the air of arrogance and dignity is natural.

Rich man, big shot, this was Zhang Zheng's first reaction.
