Chapter 27 What's the use of fighting anyway?

  Zhou Heng looked at Shi Qingfeng with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, considering whether he should beat the guy up first.

  Anyway, he has Frost Chill Sword, it's not difficult for him to enter Jiuling Sect!

  He walked up to Shi Qingfeng's side, and the two of them locked eyes, as if a fierce spark had burst out between them.

  Boom!

  At this moment, Zhou Heng suddenly threw a punch, extremely fast and heavily hitting Shi Qingfeng's abdomen.

  At this moment, no language can describe the expression on Shi Qingfeng's face!

  This little bastard actually dares to lay hands on me? Lay hands! Lay hands! Lay hands! I'll curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!

  "Ah——" He involuntarily opened his mouth, and his body drew an arc in mid-air before heavily falling to the ground, thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  Everyone was stunned!

  After being introduced to the inn, the first instruction they received was that they were not allowed to make a move in the city, otherwise they would not only be disqualified from the assessment but also receive quite severe punishment.

  So they just dare to quarrel with each other.

  Zhou Heng was indeed overbearing, without saying a word he directly took action, beating Shi Qingfeng until his stomach churned and water splashed out!

  Too damn arrogant! Too damn overbearing!

  "Aren't you afraid of being punished by your sect?"

  "This guy isn't brave, he's just a fool!"

  "The unluckiest one was Shi Qingfeng, he never thought that someone would dare to make a move in the city and was completely caught off guard! Although he was ambushed, his face also lost all dignity!"

  After the shock had passed, everyone began discussing it again.

  But upstairs, there were people who saw a deeper side of things.

  "Shi Qingfeng may have been caught off guard, but as a martial artist, wouldn't he still have an instinctive defensive awareness!" Chang Kang's mouth curled up in a solemn smile.

  "That little guy's speed is so fast that even Shi Qingfeng didn't have a chance to react!" Zhang Zijun's fingers tapped on the windowsill, his eyes burning with a strong desire for battle.

  "Miss, what's so interesting? You're a half-step Blood Refining Realm existence. If word gets out, it'll scare them all to death!" A maid from the west wing's window said with a disdainful expression.

  By her side was a beautiful young woman with a charming smile, who was one of the four recognized geniuses and also the only female, Shen Xinqi.

  "This young man is not simple!" Shen Xinqi fixed her beautiful eyes tightly on Zhou Heng.

  "How can it be said that he doesn't have three heads and six arms? Miss, what's not simple about him?" The maid still looked dissatisfied.

  "A hunch!" Shen Xinqi said lightly, but a hint of confident smile played on the corner of her mouth.

  All of this happened in a very short period of time. Shi Qingfeng, although heavily injured, could not have been truly hurt with his strong physique from cultivating to the ninth layer. He immediately got up, wiped off the saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, and had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

  He, Shi family's super genius, was actually knocked to the ground!

  This son of a bitch, what a big dog's gall!

  Only by chopping him into pieces can I vent my anger!

  But he couldn't make a move, and at this time, someone from the Jiuling Sect would naturally come out to suppress Zhou Heng. If he were to take action, although it could be considered self-defense, he would still not be able to escape punishment!

  Endure!

  This kid actually dares to openly violate the rules set by the Jiuling Sect, he will definitely be disqualified from the assessment. As long as he is driven out of the city, then he can make his move!

  A figure emerged with his hands behind his back, his vigorous vitality was as if it had a physical form, burning fiercely like a blazing furnace. As he passed by, all the young men involuntarily retreated, as if getting any closer would cause them to be reduced to ashes.

  Blood Refining Realm!

  The whole audience was silent.

  This is a man in his forties, he walked to the front of Zhou Heng and Shi Qingfeng, furrowed his thick eyebrows and said: "Do you think this is some kind of place or your own small town? Get back to your own rooms!"

  What!

  Is that it?

  What is the rule of Jiuling Sect! Isn't it said that whoever makes a move in the city will be disqualified from the assessment and also suffer severe punishment? Why can Zhou Heng be exempted? And listening to this big Han's tone, he actually implicated Shi Qingfeng as well.

  You say Shi Qingfeng is wronged or not, he was heavily punched and didn't even fight back, how can they be treated the same?

  Such a penalty was met with great confusion among the young people, and even the three geniuses Chang Kang, Shen Xin Qi on the second floor felt dizzy and fell from the window.

  Biased! Too biased!

  "I refuse to accept this!" Shi Qingfeng bellowed, as a super genius in the Shi family, he was used to being high and above others. In his opinion, with his talent, he would be valued wherever he went, but now not only did he not receive any support, but instead suffered a great injustice!

  "What qualifications do you have to disobey?" The middle-aged man looked at Shi Qingfeng coldly and suddenly threw a punch.

  "Ah——" Shi Qingfeng's entire body suddenly shrunk, his lower abdomen took another punch, and he was knocked flying again. In mid-air, he drew an arc before heavily falling to the ground.

  Got beaten up again?

  Hiss!

  This guy is really unlucky!

  What exactly is Zhou Heng's identity and why was he treated so differently?

  "Everyone go back to your own rooms, crowding here is useless!" the middle-aged man said coldly. "Whoever causes more trouble will be immediately driven out of Feng Yu City!"

  He lightly said a sentence and brushed away Zhou Heng's previous actions.

  Shi Qingfeng struggled to get up, Zhou Heng was only a seven-layer cultivator after all, and the damage he caused was limited. However, that middle-aged man was a genuine twelve-layer cultivator, and with his full strength, he could even blast through Shi Qingfeng's abdomen!

  Although he had spared some strength now, he was still beaten until he was dizzy and disoriented, retching uncontrollably on the side, as if he wanted to vomit out all his stomach water.

  Feeling the gaze of sympathy, schadenfreude or contempt sweeping over him, Shi Qingfeng clenched his fists tightly, vowing to kill Zhou Heng!

  And in the most brutal way!

  Zhou Heng smiled faintly and walked into the inn, returning to his own room.

  He was able to receive special treatment, and it must have been thanks to Feng Tengyu and the inn's manager, but he hadn't expected this special treatment to be so extreme.

  Never mind, first refine two Gathering Yuan Pills and see how they work out.

  Zhou Heng sat down with his legs crossed, took out an Aggregation Origin Pill, peeled off the wax paper on the outside, and threw it into his mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, quickly reaching his stomach and transforming into billions of streams of heat that spread out and wandered throughout his body.

  These heat flows immediately condense into strands of free energy that can be directly extracted and refined.

  Just... Zhou Heng furrowed his brow, these stray energies were quite impure and needed to be refined before they could be converted into True Yuan Force. Compared to the stray energy released by the Black Sword, it wasn't even on the same level!

  It took Zhou Heng an hour to refine the energy in this Gathering Yuan Pill, which was equivalent to three days of meditation.

  Although it can't compare to the Black Severing Sword, adding its own bitter cultivation is equivalent to four days of bitter cultivation for ordinary people. If it can continue to have the support of the Gathering Yuan Pill, this cultivation speed is also terrifying!

  The only problem is that the Juyuan Dan contains too many impurities, and after taking one, you must first expel these impurities from your body, otherwise the accumulated impurities will bring great harm to martial artists.

  The human body will automatically eliminate impurities, but it takes about a day to do so. Therefore, even if you have a large amount of Agarwood pills, you can only take one pill per day at most.

  But the energy in the black broken sword is to be used up after all, this Yuanyuan Dan is still a very good thing for Zhou Heng, unfortunately, it's too expensive, he can't afford it!

  Zhou Heng's room suddenly became lively, with many young men coming to visit. Some wanted to figure out what his relationship was with the Jiuling Sect, while others wanted to get close to him.

  At first, Zhou Heng could barely cope, but later on, he really couldn't take it anymore. He simply left the inn and started playing around in this ancient city. After all, this was a big city with too many new and strange things that couldn't be seen in Yuanshi Town.

  For example, an auction house.

  The auction house sells everything, from demonic beasts to medicinal pellets, martial arts techniques, and weapons. Anything you can think of is available here! Of course, the prices are not something ordinary people can afford. Zhou Heng weighed the less than ten taels of silver in his pocket and involuntarily retreated.

  The next day he swallowed the second Gathering Yuan Pill, and his cultivation improved in just six days, not even a tenth of what Black Sword Break could release in one burst, it was completely like a drop in the bucket!

  Of course, if you can eat one every day, the effect is not to be underestimated!

  A single Gathering Yuan Dan costs over 200 taels of silver, and taking one per day would amount to over 70,000 taels in a year, exceeding the Zhou family's annual income!

  It turns out that the poor are literate and the rich are martial, the Zhou family in Yuanshi Town can still be considered a wealthy family, but when placed in Fengyucheng, they are not much stronger than beggars.

  "It seems that the remaining seven days are not enough to advance my cultivation to the eighth layer of Refining Body!" Zhou Heng sighed, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly realized that he still didn't know what the assessment of Jiuling Sect was all about.

  It should be a test of real strength after all, selecting martial arts geniuses, not literary champions.

  He didn't take it to heart, and instead focused on practicing the Ling Tian Jiu Shi. Unfortunately, mastering the Ling Tian Jiu Shi required a catalyst, and he was always stuck outside the fourth style, lacking that one final push that made him feel like demolishing the house in frustration.

  Shi Qingfeng has been rarely seen in the guest house these days, according to several people who came to visit and chat with him, that guy went to the Treasure Pavilion's gravity room for cultivation.

  Zhen Bao Ge is the only auction house in the city, and its owner has no connection with the three major sects. It's strange that it occupies such a lucrative business, yet none of the three major sects have shown any interest in taking it over. This is indeed an inexplicable phenomenon.

  The Gravity Room is quite extraordinary, looking like an ordinary room, but inside, due to the operation of the array, the gravity is several times that of normal circumstances. Cultivating in such an environment does not help with the growth of one's cultivation, but it can make the True Yuan Force more condensed.

  Moreover, adapting to greater gravity allows warriors to jump higher and run faster in normal environments, substantially enhancing their combat capabilities!

  However, the Gravity Room's charges are exorbitantly expensive!
