"Soul Condensation Tower, where is this?"

Li Chen looked at Ning Hua and asked in confusion.

Ning Hua explained: "The Soul Condensing Tower is the holy place for cultivation in our Ningling County, which can condense the soul. The tower is divided into nine layers, and the more it goes up, the stronger the increase effect on the soul. However, in the past hundred years, the highest recorder has only been seven layers."

Li Chen immediately became interested and asked, "How can I get in?"

Ning Hua said: "This Soul Condensation Tower is opened every three years and is scheduled to be held on the third day of the third month of the year. In another ten days, it will be the day to open."

"However, except for the county magistrate's office and the core disciples of the seven major sects, if other outsiders want to enter the tower, they must have to buy the tower invoice. However, one piece costs 3,000 spirit stones, which is far from affordable by ordinary people!"

When talking about the "3,000 spirit stones", Ning Hua's eyes were a little dim.

Although their annual profits of Ningjiabao are 50,000 or 60,000 spirit stones, there are 5,000 mouths in the entire village to eat, dress, eliminate these daily expenses, pay taxes from the county magistrates, and filial piety to some big bandits. Throughout the year, there is basically nothing left.

However, Li Chen was not worried about the spirit stone at all. He now had three million yuan in his hand, and he was not the one who was short of money at all.

It seems that after entering Ningling County, it is necessary to go to the Soul Condensation Tower to walk on.

Along the way, Li Chen asked some questions about Yunhai Sect.

What he asked was no secret, and Ning Hua was very happy to answer it for him.

After this conversation, Li Chen had a general understanding of Yunhai Sect and the entire Yunhai Continent.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of Ningjiabao.

The so-called gate is a rough wooden door made of large wooden stakes, which can be knocked down with one punch by Li Chen.

Ning Changhe, the owner of Ningjiabao, heard that his son and his wife went into the mountains to hunt and encountered wolves, so he hurried out with the villagers.

Some women who were leading children saw the body of their men and lay on and burst into tears.

For a moment, the shadow of sadness enveloped the entire village.

There was also a young girl with a pretty appearance and thin body. Seeing Zhang Zhong being carried on a stretcher, she also ran over and cried.

"Dad, why are your arms gone?"

Zhang Zhong stretched out his only arm, stroked the girl's face, and said weakly: "Xiu, don't cry, Daddy is fine, but he just has one arm missing, it's okay!"

Ning Hua stepped forward and explained the story in detail. He also solemnly introduced their savior, Li Chen.

When Ning Changhe heard that Li Chen was an eighth-grade alchemist, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Even if the other party is not their Ningjiabao savior, just relying on the status of this eighth-grade alchemist, it is enough to become their guest of honor.

Ning Changhe led a group of old people to salute Li Chen repeatedly.

Li Chen nodded slightly and told them not to be polite. He didn't like this scene. After saying a few words casually, he prepared to go to rest on the grounds of fatigue.

After Li Chen left, Ning Changhe held a clan meeting to discuss three issues.

One: How to deal with the pensions of these twenty villagers and the maintenance of their respective families.

This problem is easy to solve. Everything has family rules and regulations, just follow the rules of the law.

Secondly, they will set off tomorrow to deliver medicinal materials and animal skins to Renhe Chamber of Commerce in the city. They must go there for an agreed date.

But their village killed and injured more than 20 good players at one time. Zhang Zhong, the number one master in the fort, was also disabled and his strength was greatly weakened. Along the way, bandits were very rampant and there might be danger.

This problem is relatively difficult. Some people suggested to borrow some people from nearby Dawangzhuang and Zhangjiazhuang, and some people suggested to prepare more spirit stones for those bandits who blocked the road and robbed them as money for buying roads.

Both of these proposals are pretty good, but they all have one thing in common: money!

And the biggest problem in Ningjiabao now is the lack of money.

Just as everyone was arguing, Ning Hua suddenly stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet first.

Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Dad, don't be so troublesome. My husband Chen Li is not only an eighth-level alchemist, but also has a very strong cultivation level. He slapped the leader of the early-stage monster Qinghuo Wolf with one palm to death. His strength is definitely not inferior to Uncle Zhong."

"And he will go to Ningling County City with us tomorrow. Everyone is walking together, so there is a way to take care of him!"

When Ning Changhe and others heard Ning Hua's words, they were overjoyed.

Immediately, they began to discuss the third thing, how to win over "Chen Li"?

Now their Ningjiabao has lost more than 20 good players and their strength has dropped sharply. If there is no expert in charge, I am afraid that life will be extremely difficult in the future.

The sudden appearance of "Chen Li" made them see a ray of dawn.

"Chen Li" not only has a strong cultivation level, but also an eighth-grade alchemist. As long as he is in charge, no bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles will come to provoke.

But what makes them headache is what price should they pay to win over "Chen Li"?

The easiest way is to use money and resources.

But their Ningjiabao is now so poor that even if they take out all their assets, they may not be able to appreciate it.

Secondly, it is through the so-called marriage.

The most exquisite woman in Ningjiabao is naturally Ning Yu.

However, Ning Yu was the first to stand up to object.

She is a disciple of the Dongling Pavilion of the human-level sect. She is more inclined to the sky and looks down on "Chen Li" at all.

Moreover, she has been fighting with an inner disciple of her fellow disciple recently. She is expected to catch a rich man, so how can she ruin her future?

"Chen Li" is an eighth-grade alchemist. Although it is very popular, he is just a casual cultivator after all, and his appearance is dull. Whether it is for the future or the appearance, he is not as good as her current ambiguous partner.

"That girl from Zhang Zhong's family, Zhang Lingxiu should be in trouble this year. I think that girl is pretty beautiful. When her body completely grows, she must be a beauty. Brother Chen Li is her father's life-saving benefactor. She wants to repay her for both public and private!"

The so-called reward is self-evident, and naturally it is to promise oneself.

After hearing this proposal, others expressed their approval.

Although this is definitely unfair to Zhang Lingxiu, that girl.

But in the eyes of these people, survival is the top priority.

Moreover, they did not feel that this was a cheating Zhang Lingxiu, but instead believed that this was compensation for their Zhang family.

You should know that for families like "Chen Li", eighth-grade alchemists like their Ningjiabao, are absolutely the dragon among people. Even if they give their daughter to others as concubines, they are still a high-spirited person.

This means that from then on, she, a little girl, would have to eat and drink delicious food and drink all her life without worries. Such a good thing is hard to find with a lantern...
