Start with a space

Zhang Xiaoshan was taking two steps when he heard a sound. He immediately stopped and turned to the right.

In front of me was a long corridor. A young man in a green Taoist robe was walking quickly towards me, shouting, "

Whose family are you from, and why are you trespassing into my Wang family mansion?"

"I was accepted as a disciple by Taoist Shen at noon today. I came here to report now, but I don't know where to report."

Zhang Xiaoshan replied quickly.

"Oh, so you are Master Shen's disciple!"

The young man came over, was slightly startled, and looked down a little. After seeing the token on Zhang Xiaoshan's waist, he smiled and said, "

I remember now, you are the genius boy with three spiritual roots that many people are talking about now."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

The young man continued:

Since you don't know where the report is, let me take you there.

It just so happens that I am going to the Medicine Pavilion to do some work, and the place you are about to go is the Chunfeng Courtyard where many of Master Shen’s disciples live.

We are on the same way, follow me!"

Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly followed and said as he walked, "Thank you very much. How should I address you, sir?"

"I don't deserve it. You are the disciple of Taoist Shen, and your seniority is higher than mine. I should call you Brother Zhang, and you can just call me Xiaoliu."

The young man answered while walking and smiling.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, then followed Xiaoliu along the long corridor.

After a while, they reached the end of the corridor, turned left and then right, and entered the inner courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoshan took a look and found that the inner courtyard was very large. The open space in the inner courtyard could probably accommodate more than 50,000 people.

On the far left, there is a huge pavilion with three young men and a middle-aged man inside.

These four people were dressed in gorgeous clothes. At this time, the three young men lined up neatly, stretched out their hands, and gestured up and down at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a flame appeared on the fingertips of each of the three boys, and the flame instantly changed from the size of a cherry to the size of a watermelon.

Then, three flames flew towards the middle-aged man together.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and waved it gently, and in an instant, the three flames were extinguished.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at it from a distance, was startled, and muttered to himself:

The flames thrown by those three young men were obviously more than twice as powerful as my basic fireball technique at the perfect level.

If I faced those three flames, I would probably be killed by them in an instant.

And that middle-aged man, with just a wave of his hand, extinguished the three flames. This is too powerful!"

"Brother Xiaoliu, do you know who those four people are?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked, stopping involuntarily.

"Of course I do."

Xiaoliu nodded, stopped, and replied with a smile: "

The middle-aged man was the patriarch of the Wang family, a family of immortal cultivators.

And those three young men were the young masters of the Wang family.

Right now, Patriarch Wang is teaching the three young masters how to practice magic."

"Oh!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and asked curiously:

I just saw Patriarch Wang extinguish three flames with just one move. Isn't that too amazing?"

"That's natural!"

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Our patriarch has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it is said that he practices fire magic.

He knows flames very well. The three flames thrown by the three young masters just now are like three flying feathers in the eyes of the patriarch. They have no killing power at all. "

"Master Wang is so powerful?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was shocked again.

He didn't expect that the three flames that could easily kill him posed no threat at all in front of Patriarch Wang.

Xiao Liu smiled and continued:

Senior Brother Zhang, you may not know that our patriarch had a competition with the patriarch of the Zhao family a year ago.

It is said that the two of them were fighting in a forest, and the fight between the two sides was extremely dangerous.

Large trees were destroyed by their spells, and large areas of the ground were riddled with potholes caused by the spells.

That scene was such a mess.

Let me tell you this, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 of me, a second-level Qi Refining cultivator, besieging our Patriarch, it would be useless and we would be vulnerable!"

"Too amazing! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to defeat even 20,000 ordinary mortals."

Zhang Xiaoshan exclaimed.

Xiaoliu continued:

In fact, the one who is more powerful than our family master is an ancestor of the Wang family.

It is said that the ancestor of the Wang family was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who retired from the Lingmu Sect.

From what I understand, a cultivator at the initial stage of foundation building is countless times more powerful than a cultivator at the ninth stage of Qi refining.

Our Patriarch is already very powerful to me, and I think the ancestors of the Wang Family must be even more powerful than I can imagine."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu couldn't help but look envious, and even revealed a trace of yearning in his eyes, muttering: "

I don’t know if I can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

"Then practice hard." Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and responded softly.

In fact, his heart was also full of yearning.

Xiaoliu walked briskly and soon brought Zhang Xiaoshan to the gate of a large courtyard.

He stopped and said with a smile:

Brother Zhang, this is where we are going.

In this courtyard, there is a place for you to live. Come on, I will take you in. "

"Okay." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded in response.

Entering the yard, Zhang Xiaoshan looked around and saw that the center of the yard looked like a spacious playground, with some flowers and plants around it, like a flower bed.

After the two of them walked to the center of the courtyard, Xiaoliu stopped and said with a smile: "

Senior Brother Zhang, I can only accompany you here.

Go further ahead and you will find the place where you will choose to live. ”

Xiaoliu pointed to the house not far ahead and said, "

Brother Zhang, look at that row, there are at least more than twenty houses.

For these houses, any house with a closed door means that someone is already living there.

You see, the door of the tenth room, that is, Room 10, is open, so there should be no one living there.

You can choose to live there.

I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Xiaoliu bowed slightly to Zhang Xiaoshan, then turned and walked to the other side.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiaoliu, for bringing me here. You can go and get busy."

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

Watching Xiaoliu's back getting farther and farther away, Zhang Xiaoshan turned and walked towards Room 10. Just as he reached Room 10, a voice suddenly came.

"You boy in coarse cloth, stop right there."

Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned and realized that he was wearing coarse cloth. He stopped and turned around.

The door of the fifth room was opened, and a young man in a brocade robe and with a thin face was looking at him coldly.

The thin-faced young man, with stern eyes, walked towards me slowly.

"Is it Your Excellency who is calling me?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked.

"If not you, who should I call?

"Look, you are the only one wearing coarse cloth in this courtyard. Where did you come from, poor boy? How dare you come to our Chunfeng Courtyard?"

The thin-faced boy said coldly.

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here to report and choose a room for myself.

If you have nothing else to do, I am ready to go into the house and rest."

"Humph!

Did I let you go?" The thin-faced boy snorted coldly, then paused, the young man rolled his eyes, and said:

I understand, you must be the newly recruited apprentice."

"Your Excellency called me to stop, what is the matter?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked directly at the young man in front of him and asked directly.

The thin-faced young man had a sneer on his face. He thought that Zhang Xiaoshan was a newly recruited apprentice, so he said arrogantly: "

You must have some talent to be able to enter this spring courtyard.

However, anyone who enters this Spring Breeze Courtyard cannot dress as shabbily as you.

From tomorrow on, if you dress like this again, I will throw you out of Chunfeng Courtyard!

Secondly, in this Chunfeng Courtyard, I am the boss and you are the new apprentice.

From now on, you are my younger brother, and you have to hand over five taels of silver every month.

Today is your first day. Now hand in five taels of silver and you can go in and rest."

"What if I don't give it?"

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned and said lightly.

"No?"

The thin-faced boy's eyes turned cold and he threatened, "Then I will make it impossible for you to live in the Spring Breeze Courtyard!"

"Zhou Shu, you are a rich kid, so why are you asking for money from a new apprentice?

If your parents heard about this, they would probably laugh to death. "

Just then, a sharp voice was heard.
