Chapter 575: Open the Door to Welcome Guests
Even with Xiao Mian's current vision, he was stunned when he entered the Xuesong Residence.
From the outside, although the Xuesong Residence also occupies a large area, it is just a courtyard. He didn't want the golden light to dissipate. After using the gold-inlaid jade order to enter the Xuesong Residence, Xiao Mian discovered that the interior of the Xuesong Residence was engraved with a space array!
Regardless of other things, this space array alone is worth a lot of money.
Moreover, in the center of the Xuesong Residence, there are alchemy rooms, spiritual herb gardens, and spiritual beast rooms. There is even a quite spacious martial arts arena, which made Xiao Mian stunned.
The four great families in Qin County are indeed extraordinary!
It should be noted that there are as many as four first-class manors like Xuesong Residence in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and this Zhaoxian Pavilion is only owned by the Wang family. In other words, there must be other three major families' Zhaoxian Pavilions in the other three prefectures. If this is inferred, there are as many as sixteen such general first-class manors-this is amazing!
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube shows that the wealth of the four great families in Qin County is indeed extraordinary!
Xiao Mian just sighed a little and entered the quiet room of Xuesongju. No matter how good this Xuesongju is, it is just Xiao Mian's place to stay. Could it be that he, Xiao Mian, can really stay here for a long time for a Xuesongju?
Besides, even if Xiao Mian is willing, others may not be willing, right?
When Xiao Mian was thinking about it, the situation in the Recruiting Talents Hall had changed suddenly...
It turned out that the tokens in the Wang Family Recruiting Talents Hall were divided into four levels, corresponding to the heaven, earth, and yellow respectively - Tianzi Jinxiangyu Ling, Dizi Jinxiang Ling, Xuanzi Yinxiang Ling, Huangzi Tiexiang Ling.
Among them, there are only four Jinxiangyu Ling. The wise men who get Jinxiangyu Ling can choose one of the four first-class manors in Lulan Pavilion, Yuhexie, Shuangjuzhai, and Xuesongju; there are eight Jinxiang Ling, sixteen Yinxiang Ling, and thirty-two Tiexiang Ling. Correspondingly, the treatment that can be obtained in the Recruiting Talents Hall is naturally three, six, nine, and successively reduced.
Previously, three gold-inlaid jade orders had been distributed in the Wang family's Recruiting Talents Hall. The three cultivators were all outstanding among the high-level Jindan cultivators. It was said that they all had the strength to challenge the top-level Jindan cultivators and still escape unscathed. In the past, it was not that there were no other wise men who wanted to seize the gold-inlaid jade order from the three of them, and then occupy one of the four first-grade manors, after all, the conditions of the first-grade manors were the best.
But without exception, all failed, and one of the high-level Jindan cultivators was even killed by the person who occupied Shuangjuzhai during the duel!
Since then, no one in the Recruiting Talents Hall dared to provoke the three strong men.
Unexpectedly, today, the fourth gold-inlaid jade order was finally distributed.
If this is not news, then the person who got the fourth gold-inlaid jade order was just a middle-level Jindan cultivator, which can be said to be major news!
The most excited person is the holder of the earth-character gold order!
They were the best among the cultivators of the same level. Although they could not compare with the strong men who occupied the three first-grade manors, they never forgot to think about Xuesongju.
Now they heard that the last first-grade manor had fallen into the hands of an unknown boy of the middle Jindan level. How could these people be polite?
It's just that some of them were impatient and acted as the vanguard; some were calm and watched the fight from the mountain.
The first one to come was the Earth-Character Golden Order - Shentu Lieyun!
Shentu Lieyun ranked first among the Earth-Character Golden Orders, but this first place was quite watery. Just because Shentu Lieyun was a bit nervous, others were happy to let him get a false reputation, so that they could trick him into being the first bird when necessary.
For example - now!
Under the instigation of several other people, Shentu Lieyun found Xuesongju.
"Listen, people inside! If you know what's good for you, open the door of Xuesongju and welcome your grandfather Shentu to live there. If I'm happy, I might even spare your life!"
Shentu Lieyun roared at the top of his voice.
After the roar, there was no reaction from Xuesongju.
Shentu Lieyun was stunned. In the past, when he went to challenge others, he would often rush out in a hurry as soon as he opened his voice. Why was there no reaction from Xuesongju today? Could it be that those bastards dared to deceive me? There was no one in Xuesongju at all?
Thinking of this, Shentu Lieyun was about to retreat.
This is what is called a stubborn person.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sword light emerged from behind Shentu Lieyun and chopped straight towards the gate of Xuesongju.
On the two gates of Xuesongju, there is a green pine tree that presses snow. Don't underestimate these two gates. They are also a rare defensive magic weapon. Before the sword light actually hit Xuesongju, the two cedars on the gate shook suddenly, and snowflakes rose from the two cedars and gushed out, turning into a large pile of flying snow. The hexagonal snowflakes were faintly connected, forming a formation.
Formation name - Flying Snow Formation!
Although it was only a fourth-level defensive formation, with the convenience of the two doors and the entire defensive formation of Xuesongju as the foundation, the Flying Snow Formation turned into a wall of ice and snow, and actually blocked the attack that was obviously a primary-level magic weapon.
Speaking of which, the sword light was strange. It seemed to be extremely fast, but when it hit the ice and snow wall, it disappeared into thin air except for a deafening roar.
It was as if its purpose was just to create a sonic boom!
In this way, Shentu Lieyun would not leave, but Xiao Mian had to come forward. If he did not stand up after being bullied to this extent, Xiao Mian would be in trouble in the future!
Instead of having trouble every other day, it is better to fight to decide the outcome!
The two doors of the cedar house opened without wind, and Xiao Mian, dressed in a green shirt, walked out.
But before Xiao Mian, the landlord, could speak, Shen Tu Lieyun had already attacked.
It turned out that Shen Tu Lieyun, who had been planning to leave, saw that there was indeed someone in the cedar house. Shen Tu Lieyun's blood boiled, and he felt that he was teased by that person. When a common man got angry, Shen Tu Lieyun, who was prone to getting stuck in a dead end, attacked angrily.
Facing Shen Tu Lieyun's flying sword attack, Xiao Mian did not dare to underestimate him.
After all, Shen Tu Lieyun was also a leader among the high-level Jindan cultivators. Even if his cultivation was not as good as the experienced Wang Nuo, he was stronger and more powerful, and should not be underestimated.
With a cold look, Xiao Mian raised his fist to meet him.
The five dragons in the Dragon King Secret Scroll came out together, and hit the huge sword light emitted by Shen Tu Lieyun one after another. It was not until the fourth dragon-shaped sword light hit the sword light that the sword light was slightly deflected. With a cold snort, Xiao Mian controlled the fifth dragon-shaped sword light to fly away.
The huge sword light flew away and revealed its original form in the air. It was a dark giant sword as big as a door panel, which was finally held tightly in Shentu Lieyun's hand.
Xiao Mian looked Shentu Lieyun up and down and shook his head.
"You are not my opponent!"
"..., you are right, kid!"
Tightening his slightly trembling right hand, Shentu Lieyun finally successfully retracted his flying sword, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Mian seemed more and more fearful.
Others may not know that Shentu Lieyun's flying sword is called "Golden Essence", which is made of ten thousand refined heavy gold. In terms of material, it is the same as the Nine-Turn Ruyi Ding used by Baiyushan Yushi that day.
The Golden Essence Sword is nothing else but heavy!
Shentu Lieyun naturally knows how heavy the Golden Essence Sword is.
Even though Shentu Lieyun had already mastered the Golden Sword, he still had a hard time controlling it. He was always straightforward, but lacked the ability to change. It was not because Shentu Lieyun didn't want to, but because even he couldn't control it completely.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian's five seemingly light punches just now knocked the Golden Sword away!
Body Refiner!
An extremely skilled and terrifying Body Refiner!
Although Shentu Lieyun was reckless, he was not stupid, otherwise he would not have been able to successfully form a pill.
Even because of his stubbornness, when facing Xiao Mian's extremely frank statement, Shentu Lieyun was able to accept it calmly.
"If there are any fellow Taoists who have objections to my staying in Xuesongju, you may as well stand up. If you instigate honest people to take the lead and stab others in the back, if you come to trouble me again after today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Hmph! What an arrogant boy!"
"Today, I want you to get out of Xuesongju!"
"Don't think that defeating that big fool will make us retreat!"
In a short time, five people from the Earth Character Golden Order came to the scene again, and with Shentu Lieyun, there were six people. I don't know if there are only six Earth Character Golden Orders in Wang's Talent Recruitment Hall, or if the remaining two are really indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't come to join in the fun.
Instead, Shentu Lieyun withdrew on his own.
Seeing the five high-level Jindan cultivators standing in front of him, Xiao Mian couldn't help but frown slightly - if these five people joined forces, they would be enough to kill ordinary Jindan top-level cultivators. Even if Xiao Mian was not afraid of them, he would still reveal a lot of his cards.
If so, it was not what Xiao Mian wanted.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Mian could think of a countermeasure, the five golden orders rebelled.
The reason was who would take the first step against Xiao Mian...
Obviously, Xiao Mian, who was only a middle-level Jindan, was a hot commodity in their eyes. If they could take the gold-inlaid jade order from Xiao Mian, they could move into Xuesongju legitimately. With the help of Xuesongju's defensive formation, they would be able to force back the other people in the earth-character golden order, or at least stay in the cave.
At that time, with the more abundant cultivation resources in Xuesongju, the cultivation speed would naturally be faster, and it would not be impossible to sit firmly in Xuesongju from then on.
In other words, whoever challenges Xiao Mian first can move into Xuesongju!
Although, this is just what they take for granted...
Seeing the five great golden orders fighting over such a trivial matter, Xiao Mian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he was also quite thoughtful.
Such so-called wise men who don't release eagles when they see rabbits, can they really be of use when the Wang family is in trouble? The Wang family must know that these people are unreliable, so why do they spend so much energy to recruit talents? Is it just to gain a reputation of being respectful and eager to recruit talents?
If only the Wang family did this, it can be said that the Wang family is seeking fame, but the four major families are doing this, which seems a bit strange...
I'm afraid - things are not that simple!
Just as Xiao Mian was thinking about it, another group of people came hurriedly from afar!
