He held the jade pendant in his hand. He could clearly feel a slight chill coming from it. At this moment, he could finally see the jade pendant clearly. The word Zhou Ling was carved on the front of the jade pendant. As for the back of the jade pendant, it was covered with dense lines. If he stared at it for a long time, he would feel as if his entire mind was immersed in it.
Obviously, this should be the lines carved on the jade pendant. It was used to absorb the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. It could be said that the craftsmanship was exquisite and precious, but even so, the effect was still far from being as good as the jade bead in Sun Bing's arms.
However, Sun Bing couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, because only now did he remember that Zhou Ling only asked him to come to Tianwu City to find her, but didn't give him a detailed address. He couldn't help but frown, and asked her all the way to a distant place.
At this moment, in the main hall of Zhou Family in Tianwu City.
Today could be said to be a lively day. There were four young men in the usually quiet main hall. Each of them was around seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them were at the second level of Qi Refining Stage to third level of Qi Refining Stage. There was a trace of arrogance on their faces, and in front of them, a beautiful figure was sitting on top of them.
"Miss Zhou Ling, there are five spots in the family. Why did you exclude me? Although I am not considered the top five in the family, I am still ranked in the top five in the family. Why didn't you allow me to go to the Qi-Gathering Mountain?" A young man in black clothes couldn't help but speak slowly. His face was full of pleading.
"That's right. Miss, when do we need to give out the spots of the Zhou Family to outsiders? The disciples of our family are already outstanding enough." At this moment, another person couldn't help but speak.
For a moment, the entire hall was in an uproar.
This made Zhou Ling, who was sitting on the top seat, frown slightly. She looked at the disciples below with disappointment in her eyes, especially the surrounding.
As the eldest daughter of Zhou Family, how could she not know about the situation in her family? The people around her were not only slacking off during their cultivation. When they practiced martial arts, it was also quite a waste of materials. Their natural talent could be said to be quite good. However, because of this, he was only a second level of Qi Refining Stage today. It could be said that he was quite useless.
Although it was rare to have the strength of a Second Level Qi Refining Stage at this age, one must know that the opponent was a disciple of the Zhou Family, one of the three major powers in Tianwu City. There was no need to worry about resources. After so many years, he had just broken through to the second level of Qi Refining Stage.
After knowing that the Zhou Family had five quotas, he excluded them. He couldn't help but feel furious in his heart. Immediately, he invited the rest of them to pressure Zhou Ling. He hoped that the other party would allow him to break through to the next realm, as long as he went to the Qi-Gathering Mountain. Then, he wouldn't need to spend much effort to break through to the third level of Qi Refining Stage. It was quite tempting.
"No, I already have a more suitable candidate. You should go back and cultivate properly!" Zhou Ling didn't hesitate to reject him.
When he heard this voice, a trace of anger flashed across Zhou Wei's face. For the past ten days, it could be said that he had been pestering Zhou Ling. His goal naturally did not need to be said. However, no matter how much he begged, the other party still did not agree.
Immediately, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. "Miss, I didn't expect you to be so unconsiderate towards your family. You are actually biased towards an outsider. It seems like the Zhou Family's huge family business will be completely destroyed by you."
When these words came out, Zhou Ling could not help but feel stifled in her heart. At the same time, it was a deep sorrow because there was no other direct line of descent in this generation of the Zhou Family. She was the only descendant of the Zhou Family. She had never thought that she would put in so much effort for the sake of the family. However, in the end, she would be humiliated by such a branch family member disciple. Her face immediately turned cold.
At this moment, after a long period of questioning, Sun Bing finally arrived at the Zhou Family in Tianwu City. He could see the huge red door from afar, and it even emitted a faint fragrance. Moreover, there were huge Demonic Beast guarding on both sides of the door. Just this scene alone... The Zhou Family was much more prosperous than the families in the Falling Cloud Town.
Sun Bing didn't waste too much time. He handed the jade pendant to the guard beside him and said slowly: "Zhou Ling asked me to come today. Please go and report to her."
When the guard saw the jade pendant, he didn't dare show any neglect. He immediately walked towards the Zhou Family.
At this moment, in the hall, the other disciples didn't understand Zhou Ling's good intentions at all. Instead, they persuaded, "Eldest Miss, it's fine if you give the quota to someone else, but now, no one has come. Why don't you give the quota to the surrounding people?"
But just as the other party finished speaking, a guard slowly walked in from outside the door and immediately cupped his hands to report, "Eldest Miss, there is a young cultivator outside the door who said that you invited him over. He also has a jade pendant on his hand."
"He's finally here" Hearing this, Zhou Ling could not help but feel relieved. She let out a breath and looked around coldly. "Don't speak anymore. We are already here, so it's better for the people around us to go back and cultivate. Don't bite off more than you can chew. "
The words this time could be said to have completely ignited the dissatisfaction in the surrounding people's hearts. Especially when they heard that Zhou Ling actually gave this person a jade pendant, their hearts were filled with intense jealousy.
One must know that for so many years, Zhou Ling basically did not care about other men. But today, not only did this person get Zhou Ling to give him the qualification to enter Qi-Gathering Mountain, he also gave her a jade pendant. How could this not make people jealous? Immediately, a thick viciousness flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Sun Bing was also being led by the guards. Slowly, they arrived at the courtyard of Zhou Family. They couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts, both of them are huge families. But without a doubt, the Zhou Family was much, much stronger than the Sun family. Even the foundation of the family was not on the same level. No wonder the family could only be in the Falling Cloud Town. The other one was one of the three major powers in Tianwu City.
Sun Bing could already see Zhou Ling from afar. She was still as gentle and moving as before. She was truly a beauty of her generation. Sun Bing immediately prepared to greet her. But at this moment, a young man in black clothes suddenly rushed up from the side. His face was full of hostility, as if Sun Bing was his mortal enemy.
In fact, Sun Bing was quite puzzled. After all, this was his second time coming to Tianwu City, and all the people he had offended were dead. Furthermore, he had never seen this man before, and there was no way he could offend him. But why would this man stop him?
Just as Sun Bing was filled with doubt, he saw this man slightly cupping his hands. "This brother looks so unfamiliar around the Zhou Family of Tianwu City. I wonder where he is from?"
Although he looked like a gentleman on the surface, he said in a low and fierce voice, "I don't care where you came from. But remember this, Zhou Ling is not someone you can covet. Hand over the qualification of Qi-Gathering Mountain and the jade pendant, and I will spare your life. Or else..." After saying this, his face was filled with ruthlessness.
Sun Bing's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. The young man's face was pale, and his cultivation base was only at the second level of Qi Refining Stage.
