Thousand Mountain Pavilion.
The building is 30 feet high. Sitting on the top floor, you can enjoy half of the Myriad Spirit City scenery. The night breeze blows in the wine and chats, plus a table of delicacies, making people feel like they are in a Qiongyu fairy banquet.
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Chen remembered a question, "What is a guardian?"
Previously, Zuo Qingcheng said that he was Zuo Xiaomo's protector, but Wang Chen had no idea what this protector meant.
Zuo Xiaomo put down the wine glass and scratched his head in embarrassment. "This is a long story."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "It's still very early, let's talk slowly."
He had long seen that Zuo Xiaomo inviting him to Myriad Spirit City today was not as simple as going to Immortal Market to gamble on jade.
What is hidden in the heart of this Zuo family disciple is most likely related to this "protector".
Wang Chen's guess is not wrong.
It turns out that Zuo Xiaomo is now West Sea Sect Outer Sect reserve disciple. If he wants to "become a regular employee", he must pass the assessment of the Outer Sect.
This year's Outer Sect assessment was placed on the Nine Dragon Underground Palace!
Nine Dragon Underground Palace is located three hundred miles south of Myriad Spirit City. It is hidden deep under the ruins of a huge ancient capital city. Its scale is so huge that not even a tenth of the area has been explored so far.
This huge underground palace has restrictions, which are still functioning today. The higher a monk enters, the greater the suppression he will receive.
Golden Core True Person once led a team to explore the underground palace, but the result was gone forever!
But this does not mean that low-level monks can be safe and sound in the underground palace. There are many monsters Evil Monster in the underground space, and Evil Spirits appear from time to time, so it is very dangerous.
Since Nine Dragon Underground Palace was discovered hundreds of years ago, West Sea Sect has never stopped exploring it. However, after suffering several major losses, it adopted a step-by-step strategy.
After digging bit by bit, several entrances were even opened for Rogue Cultivator and monks from other small sects to venture inside.
Nine Dragon Underground Palace Although it is dangerous, there are also many treasures hidden inside.
Among them is Ancient Sealed Jade.
In addition, Nine Dragon Underground Palace was also included in the disciple assessment site by the West Sea Sect.
And Zuo Xiaomo plans to participate in this year's assessment.
"I have been at the Outer Sect for three years."
He smiled bitterly and said, "I failed the two previous assessments. If I fail again this time, I will have to leave the sect."
This is actually similar to the situation of Wang Chen. The scale of the West Sea Sect is extremely large, the number of the Outer Sect disciples exceeds one million, and the internal competition is extremely fierce.
If you fail to become a regular member in three years, you will definitely be eliminated!
"So I'm bound to win this time!"
The protector is the fellow disciple who accompanied Zuo Xiaomo to participate in the assessment!
The guardians are not there to help the candidates complete their tasks, but to rescue them when they are in danger that they cannot withstand.
The entire task process is recorded with Imprint Stone, and is finally handed over to the sect to judge whether it is passed or not.
Because it is related to one's wealth and life, the choice of guardian is very important.
Zuo Xiaomo said solemnly, "Senior Brother Wang, I want to hire you as a protector. I wonder if you are willing?"
Wang Chen pondered, "Why choose me?"
He believed that given the other party's status, it shouldn't be a problem to find a guardian with a higher level of cultivation than himself.
Zuo Xiaomo smiled bitterly and said, "All the trustworthy guardians I could invite were taken away first!"
Zuo clan is a very big Lineage, with a total of hundreds of thousands of clan members in the main line and branch lines, many of whom are disciples of the West Sea Sect and will also participate in this year's assessment.
Zuo Xiaomo's status in the clan is not high, and he has great conflicts with Zuo Qingcheng and others. He is targeted by the latter everywhere, so he is in a situation where no one can invite him.
It's not that we can't hire Purple Mansion monk. The problem is that the guardian must be reliable. He can't trust his life and wealth on a stranger!
Wang Chen is curious. "You just believe me so much?"
He and Zuo Xiaomo met and got acquainted by chance. There was no deep friendship between them.
"Yes!"
Zuo Xiaomo replied calmly, "Senior brother and I hit it off right away. I believe that senior brother is definitely not the kind of person who is unjust for profit, so I am willing to trust him with my life."
After a pause, he added, "Senior brother, please rest assured, I will never let you suffer."
With that said, Zuo Xiaomo took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Wang Chen: "This is the deposit."
Wang Chen didn't know the "market" of the guardian, and he didn't open the storage bag to see what was inside.
He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I will accompany you then."
According to Zuo Xiaomo, it is impossible for the sect to test the disciples with a fatal task. Whether they pass or not mainly depends on the disciple's performance in the task.
Nine Dragon Underground Palace has been explored for hundreds of years. Everyone knows which places can be visited and which places are the most dangerous.
Nor will he risk his own life.
The protector is actually a safety rope, which is only needed when an accident occurs.
Wang Chen agreed to Zuo Xiaomo's request because the other party gave him a lot of help.
This favor should be returned both emotionally and rationally.
"Great."
Zuo Xiaomo was delighted. "Then I'll be relieved."
Although Wang Chen's cultivation level is only Purple Mansion's first level, in the Nine Dragon Underground Palace's special environment, there is actually not much difference between the first level and the second and third levels.
Wang Chen comes from a remote area. If he can pass the assessment and enter West Sea Sect Inner Sect as Rogue Cultivator, he must have unique skills.
After the matter was finalized, Zuo Xiaomo felt so happy that he called the restaurant waiter to serve two more jars of spiritual wine.
Had a good drink with Wang Chen.
It was late at night when Wang Chen flew his sword back to West Sea City's residence.
Fortunately, there are no drunk driving checks in the sect, otherwise he would definitely be locked up in the Little Black house for drunk driving.
When he got home, he brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea, and then opened the "deposit" given to him by Zuo Xiaomo.
There are one thousand Medium Spirit Stone stored in this storage bag!
One thousand Medium Spirit Stone can be exchanged for 120,000 Lower Spirit according to the current market price.
This is just the deposit!
Wang Chen I suddenly felt that my storage bag, which had been deflated, would become bulging again.
He didn't take the job wrong.
Putting away the storage bag, Wang Chen took out the Ancient Sealed Jade that he had previously bid in Immortal Market from his arms.
His bid for this Sealed Jade is not just about supporting Zuo Xiaomo!
The moment this thing was placed on the table by the stall owner, Wang Chen felt his eyebrows twitching, and Primordial Dao Stele entrenched in Sea of Consciousness suddenly shook, as if he was awakened from a deep sleep.
Although it immediately fell into silence again, Wang Chen noticed something strange.
Therefore, I took this Ancient Sealed Jade.
He suspected that Primordial Dao Stele's sudden movement was directly related to this thing!
It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. Wang Chen can still afford the price of tens of thousands of spirit stones.
But if it's really what he thinks...
Holding Ancient Sealed Jade in his hand, Wang Chen decisively injected a trace of mana.
