Chapter 419: Oppression
The sea was like a flat ground for Chen Fei, and there was no obstacle. Chen Fei was heading towards Haiyan City in a straight line.
Only when passing some islands with garrisons would Chen Fei avoid them slightly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
After spending several hours and crossing more than a dozen islands of garrisons, Chen Fei finally saw the huge city wall of Haiyan City from afar.
At the same time, the number of people in the Lianqiao realm and ships coming and going increased significantly, and the noisy atmosphere was overwhelming.
The Lianqiao realm did not have much privilege in Haiyan City. Chen Fei stood in the crowd and slowly entered Haiyan City with the flow of people.
Compared with the last time he came, Haiyan City seemed to have not changed at all, and it was still so prosperous.
The hawking sounds were endless, and warriors in the Lianqiao realm could be seen everywhere, among which the early and middle stages of the Lianqiao realm were the majority, and the late stage of the Lianqiao realm would be less.
As for the peak of the Lianqiao realm, only a few could be seen occasionally.
As the seed of the Heqiao realm, the peak of the Lianqiao realm is still a minority among the minority.
"Sir, is this your first time in Haiyan City? Do you need a guide? I can take you all over Haiyan City for only ten taels of silver."
A thin little girl walked carefully in front of Chen Fei. Her clothes were patched and washed gray, but very neat.
Although her body looked weak, her eyes were very bright. Just one glance would make people remember these eyes.
"What's your name?" Chen Fei looked at the girl with a smile on his face.
Haiyan City is the largest city nearby, but not everyone living in such a city will be well-dressed and well-fed. There will be a gap between the rich and the poor anywhere, and the same is true in Haiyan City.
"Sir, my name is Mi Xian." When Mi Xian heard Chen Fei ask her name, she smiled brightly.
"Do you know the Enlightenment Tower?" Chen Fei took out ten taels of silver and threw it over.
"Master, there is no one in Haiyan City who doesn't know about the Enlightenment Tower."
Mi Xian subconsciously took the silver tael, and after seeing the amount of silver tael, he hurriedly said: "Master, you don't have to give it all now, you can wait until the end of today, and then you can give it to me."
"Take it, let's go to the Enlightenment Tower first." Chen Fei waved his hand.
"Okay, Master!" Mi Xian smiled, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and he began to jump and lead the way.
"In Haiyan City, the most famous restaurant is Zuiyue Pavilion, but the best food is actually in other places."
Seemingly feeling that Chen Fei is easy to talk to, Mi Xian kept introducing various situations in Haiyan City to Chen Fei along the way, from the distribution of forces in the city to food, drink, housing and transportation.
Mi Xian would explain everything he knew to Chen Fei one by one.
Chen Fei nodded from time to time, and he was also very interested.
Chen Fei didn't expect that he would actually hear a lot of useful things after spending ten taels of silver.
"Although your physique is not very good, if you persist in practicing martial arts, you can still gain a certain level of cultivation. There should be many places to practice martial arts in Haiyan City. Why didn't you go?"
Turning a street, they came to the most central square of Haiyan City, where a huge pagoda stood. It was the Wudao Tower. After taking a look at the Wudao Tower from a distance, Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Mi Xian.
"My brother is practicing martial arts now. He is in Feiyun Hall, the largest martial arts hall in Haiyan City. He is highly valued by the director and others."
Mi Xian smiled happily and said, "When my brother has achieved success in his studies, our family's life will get better."
"How long has your brother been learning martial arts? What is his current level of cultivation?"
Chen Fei walked towards the Wudao Tower. As he got closer, a sense of tranquility began to permeate his heart.
This square is very large. At this moment, many people are sitting cross-legged in the square, constantly practicing martial arts. Sometimes someone suddenly realizes, and sometimes someone frowns and thinks hard, but gets nothing.
Under the aura of the spiritual treasure of the Enlightenment Tower, whether it is practicing or comprehending the exercises, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you don't have to pay any Yuanshi.
"I have practiced martial arts for six years, and now I have reached the level of practicing flesh." Mi Xian said with a smile.
"Six years of practicing flesh?"
Chen Fei's footsteps could not help but pause slightly, turned his head and looked at Mi Xian seriously, and said: "If you practice for six years, you should have reached the level of forging bones now."
"Ah?" Mi Xian was a little stunned when he heard Chen Fei's words.
"Wait for me here. If I don't come out for more than a day, you can leave on your own." Chen Fei left a word and began to walk towards the Enlightenment Tower.
Mi Xian stared at Chen Fei's back in a daze. Thinking of what Chen Fei said just now, his eyes brightened slightly, but immediately, Mi Xian thought of his own situation, and he had no spare energy to support another person to go to the martial arts hall.
Now even supporting only one person in Feiyun Hall is a very reluctant thing.
What is learned in the martial arts school cannot be taught to others privately without consent. Once discovered, not only will the teacher's cultivation be abolished, but the person who secretly learns will also be severely punished.
Mi Xian's eyes became lonely again. He touched the ten taels of silver in his sleeves and slowly lowered his head.
"Stop!" In front of the Enlightenment Tower, the deacon disciple stopped Chen Fei's steps.
"I want to enter the Enlightenment Tower." Chen Fei looked at the deacon disciple and said.
"What level of power?" The deacon disciple asked in a low voice.
"Level six."
"Fifty pieces of low-grade Yuanshi."
"Okay!" Chen Fei nodded and handed over the package behind him.
Entering the Enlightenment Tower requires Yuanshi, which Chen Fei had known before. However, not everyone needs to spend Yuanshi to enter the Enlightenment Tower.
If the level of the force is high enough, there are free places to enter the tower every year. The higher the level, the more places.
Like the Yuanchen Sword Sect, which only has warriors in the late stage of the Lianqiao Realm, it belongs to the sixth-level force. At the peak of the Lianqiao Realm, it can be changed to a fifth-level force.
If there is a strong man in the early stage of the Heqiao Realm, such as the Xianyun Sword Sect, it will automatically change to a fourth-level force.
From this upward, if there is a strong man at the peak of the Heqiao Realm, it is a first-level force of the Qianyu League.
Starting from the fourth-level force, there will be various resources in the Qianyu League that will favor them, and the Enlightenment Tower is one of them. There is also a very important one. Every year, each force must send people to the periphery of the Qianyu League to participate in strangling monsters.
This is the obligation that every force in the Qianyu League must fulfill. And the higher the level of the force, the fewer people will send out, and the more things will be obtained.
This sounds a bit unreasonable, but this is the reality. The stronger the strong, the less responsibility they have. On the contrary, the weak have to bear more and get the least.
You either work hard to climb up, or wait for others to continue to exploit you.
Yuanchen Sword Sect and Shenshui Pavilion will send people to the periphery of Qianyu League in half a year. Qianyu League only has one year to adapt to the newly joined forces.
After a year, all responsibilities and obligations will fall on their heads.
"If you can't bear it, don't force it. You can go down one level and the pressure will be much less."
The deacon disciple looked at Chen Fei and kindly reminded him: "With time, the pressure inside will become greater and greater. If you resist it, you may hurt the acupoints."
"Thank you!" Chen Fei bowed his hand and walked into the Enlightenment Tower.
The Enlightenment Tower looks very large from the outside, and when he really goes in, Chen Fei finds that the space inside is much larger than what he sees from the outside.
"Space?"
Chen Fei's heart moved slightly, feeling the pressure brought by the first level of the Enlightenment Tower, but he didn't feel anything. On the first floor, many people were sitting cross-legged at the moment, and they were all practicing hard.
Chen Fei followed the stairs and entered the second floor.
Compared with the first floor, there were fewer people on the second floor of the Enlightenment Tower, and the pressure from the second floor was several times higher than that of the first floor.
However, Chen Fei did not feel much pressure, and he continued to walk upwards.
The third floor, the fourth floor, and the fifth floor!
Chen Fei went up three floors in a row, and the pressure from each floor of the Enlightenment Tower was several times higher than that of the previous floor. Therefore, when he reached the fifth floor, the pressure was nearly ten times that of the first floor.
This kind of pressure not only comes from the physical body, but also from the mind. If the mind is not strong enough, it may be suppressed to the point that you don't even have the ability to think, let alone comprehend the skills.
Chen Fei stood still for a moment, feeling that there was no big problem, and continued to walk towards the upper floor of the Enlightenment Tower.
The sixth floor!
At this point, there were only a few people left, and each of them was in the late stage of the training state. Chen Fei took a few glances. The auras of these people were extremely condensed. Obviously, they had opened up quite a few acupoints, at least about a hundred.
Chen Fei followed the stairs and continued to walk up.
Two people opened their eyes and looked at Chen Fei. Seeing Chen Fei's expression without any reluctance, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although it was the first day to come to the Enlightenment Tower, the pressure on each floor was the smallest, and the pressure would continue to rise as time went by. But being able to stay calm on the sixth floor is indeed much stronger than most of the late stage of the training acupoint realm.
"Some of them are unfamiliar, it's really the back waves pushing the front waves!" Someone sighed.
"It's a bit early to say this, maybe they will come down later."
"Hahaha, I'm talking about the seventh floor, the pressure is too great."
Chen Fei didn't hear the discussion of the people below, and now he has come to the seventh floor.
Here, the pressure of both the physical body and the mind has reached dozens of times that of the first floor. This is a very scary number. At this moment, there is only one person sitting cross-legged on the seventh floor.
The magnificent and condensed state, and more importantly, the state of mind of the Yuanli, is the only one who is at the peak of the Lianqiao realm. Only when the 108 acupoints form a whole can they withstand this kind of pressure.
Yan Zesong opened his eyes and looked at Chen Fei. When he found that Chen Fei was only in the late stage of the Lianqiao realm, there was some surprise in his eyes.
However, Yan Zesong did not speak, and closed his eyes again, feeling the mystery of the deduction of the technique.
Chen Fei felt the pressure of the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower, which was acceptable. But he needed to try whether he could deduce the technique normally in this environment.
Chen Fei chose a place to sit cross-legged and began to deduce the Yuanchen Sword Body.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei stood up and walked towards the eighth floor.
The soles of his shoes stepped on the stairs, making a slight sound, and Yan Zesong's eyes opened and looked at Chen Fei's back.
