Start with a space

The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window. Zhang Xiaoshan got up early, washed up, had a hearty meal in the inn, then walked out of the inn in high spirits and stepped into the bustling street.

"I need to get familiar with Lingmu City."

Zhang Xiaoshan muttered to himself as he walked.

"Xiaoshan, there are still more than four days before Lingmu Sect starts recruiting disciples. During these few days, you can go to Lingmu Tower to take a look."

At this time, Meng Daluo's voice sounded in his ears.

"Senior Meng, this is my first time in Lingmu City. I feel that this place is very different. Everything around me is completely different from what I saw in Fenglin Town before.

I want to walk around and see the place first.”

Zhang Xiaoshan responded with a smile.

"Of course, this Lingmu City is much bigger and more prosperous than the town you stayed in before.

Look, take a closer look at the monks in robes walking on the street. They all have extraordinary temperaments. "

Meng Daluo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan looked around and saw that among the hundreds of people, almost half were wearing Taoist robes, and just as Meng Daluo said, each of them exuded a unique temperament.

"Senior Meng, I noticed there are so many monks here!

There are people from the first to the ninth level of Qi training, especially the eighth and ninth levels. There are so many people. Almost every hundred people have at least one ninth level cultivator. This is too scary!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in a low voice.

“That’s for sure. It’s quite difficult to meet a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining in Fenglin Town.

Here, you can easily see a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining when walking on the street."

Meng Daluo said with a smile.

"Why are there so many cultivators at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining here?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly and asked curiously.

"The reason why there are so many Qi-refining cultivators here is mainly because there is a Lingmu Tower in this Lingmu City."

Meng Daluo smiled and explained: "

This spiritual wood tower has extraordinary significance and function. It is like a huge magnet, attracting many Qi-refining monks to come.

The tower contains all kinds of wonderful opportunities and challenges, which can provide monks with excellent experience and improvement.

Many cultivators come here for the Spirit Wood Tower, hoping to gain an opportunity for breakthrough and growth in it.

That’s why there are so many cultivators gathered here, and there are quite a few foundation-building cultivators.”

"I see. This Lingmu Tower is truly magical. I must go and see it."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly understood, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation, and he said with a smile.

Meng Daluo smiled and nodded, "Well, when you've finished shopping, go take a look. It might bring you good luck."

After that, Zhang Xiaoshan continued to stroll on the street with even greater interest, feeling full of curiosity about everything around him.

After wandering on the streets for an hour, Zhang Xiaoshan arrived near the center of the city and looked into the distance.

I saw a hundred-story tower rising into the sky in the distance ahead, standing upright. The tower was green all over, revealing a sense of vast and ancient charm.

“Is this the Lingmu Tower?”

Zhang Xiaoshan raised his eyes and stared at him, whispering something.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at it carefully for a few times, and walked closer with quick steps. When he got closer, he found that the area around the Lingmu Tower was crowded with people.

boom! boom!

Suddenly, among a group of monks not far ahead, two people looked at each other, both of them had angry looks on their faces, and their bodies exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

"Want to fight?" one of the young monks asked coldly.

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" another young man responded without showing any weakness.

"The auras emitted by these two young cultivators are so strong. They are both at the initial stage of foundation building."

Zhang Xiaoshan heard the noise, turned around, was shocked, and said.

"Boy, this is nothing. Look around carefully. There are no less than 300 cultivators in the early stage of foundation building near this Lingmu Tower."

At this time, Meng Daluo transmitted the message.

"what?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was startled and quickly turned his head again. He took a quick look and couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"There are too many foundation-building monks here."

Zhang Xiaoshan whispered.

He didn't expect that there were hundreds of foundation-building monks gathered around the Lingmu Tower.

You know, in Fenglin Town, it was almost impossible for him to see a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but here he saw hundreds of them, which shocked him.

And it seems that there are quite a few foundation-building cultivators rushing here from afar.

"Senior Meng, there are too many foundation-building cultivators here. I guess they are also here to break into the Lingmu Tower, right?" Zhang Xiaoshan said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Meng Daluo nodded and said, "Once you succeed in breaking into the tower, you will be able to obtain opportunities and treasures, which will naturally attract many young talented monks.

You should also go into the Lingmu Tower and take a look."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly approached the bottom of the Lingmu Tower.

There was a group of monks gathered around the Lingmu Pagoda, some of them were gathered on the east side of the Pagoda. They all raised their heads and looked at the side of the pagoda.

"Ok?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly puzzled, walked over, and looked up as well.

On one side of the tower, there stood a stone tablet-like object that was a hundred feet long, with words engraved on it, and all of them were names.

The top of the stone tablet clearly reads:

First place, Chen Longhai, at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, 25 years old, reached the 75th floor of the tower;

Second place, Song Feihong, at the peak of the early foundation building stage, 25 years old, reached the 73rd floor of the tower.

……

"This seems to be the ranking of those who have climbed the tower." Zhang Xiaoshan took a look and said in a low voice.

Then, Zhang Xiaoshan's gaze slowly moved downwards and continued to watch.

Suddenly, he saw the three words "Meng Daluo".

“Senior Meng, I saw your name.

You are ranked tenth, in the initial stage of foundation building, twenty-two years old, and have reached the sixty-first floor of the tower. "Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, and smiled and said in a voice transmission:

Senior Meng, you are really amazing. At the age of 22, you have reached the 61st floor of the tower, which is beyond many young monks. "

"That is!"

Meng Daluo said proudly: "I was also a rare genius in the past, but unfortunately my luck was not on my side.

Otherwise, I might have continued to break through when I was 25, and maybe even stepped into the 70th floor. What a pity, at the age of 25, I was distracted by other things and forgot about breaking through the tower."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Senior Meng, you reached the 60th floor of the tower at the age of 22. Many years have passed, and you are still ranked 10th. This is not easy."

Having said that, Zhang Xiaoshan continued reading.
