Although there was still a month before the New Year began, the Yangcheng City of Shu had already started getting lively. The merchants had already laid out their wares and were hawking them in the bazaar. The commoners did not stay at home. The whole Yang City's market was filled with people. It was bustling with noise and excitement.

He was in his twenties, dressed in jewellery, and had a fine jade around his neck. The sword he wore on his waist was not an ordinary weapon, but his face was pale, as if he had been drinking too much, and his pale face had a proud expression on it. Surrounding him was a group of people dressed in gray, and this group of people were walking in the middle of the market, and no one dared to block them.

"Look, isn't that the Sect Leader of the Hall of Destiny's Hall, Young Master Zhang? I've heard that he is already very skilled at such a young age."

"He really is a young hero. The future of our Central State martial arts Lin depends on people like Young Master Zhang."

"That's right, he's only so young. Once young master Zhang grows up, the Lifesteal Hall will be young master Zhang's."

"Of course, as far as I know, the Lifesteal Hall's Sect Leader Zhang has three sons, and only this Second Young Master Zhang has managed to reach the third layer of 'The Scholar's Lifesteal'. Since Eldest Young Master has reached the second layer, that little gongzi has not even managed to cultivate a single layer of his skills, let's see, how can he compare with Zhang Ergong?"

When the crowd in the market saw Young Master Zhang, they began to discuss among themselves. The white-faced man was secretly delighted when he heard the discussions of the crowd. To be able to reach the third level of "The Scholar's Lifesteal" at the age of twenty-four, even his father wasn't as amazing as he was back then. How could his older brother and his good-for-nothing brother compete against him?

The white-faced man thought, an indescribable smug look on his face.

This time, they had come here to find a good seedling. A young man from a sect would always be the future of this sect, and as long as a young man from a sect had a good foundation, good perception, and great intelligence, he would definitely be able to improve his sect's future.

"Everyone, I want to announce a piece of good news, my Lifestealer Hall will be holding an annual recruitment for outer disciples soon, and as long as you have materials for martial arts, you can come to our Lifesteal Hall's Main Hall to register for the outer disciple election. Anyone who manages to win the election can become an outer disciple of the Lifesteal Hall, and will not have to worry about food or clothes for the rest of their lives, and can even learn the martial arts of my Lifestyle Hall."

The white-faced young master looked at the scene in front of him and nodded his head in satisfaction. He cleared his throat and continued: "In addition, as long as you are outstanding among the outer sect disciples, you can be promoted to become an inner sect disciple. At that time, you will be rich and powerful.

To those who were poor, eating every day was better than anything else. If there was pocket money, then they were truly rich and prosperous. So every year when the outer sect disciples were recruited, many children from poor families would push their way in. As soon as the white-faced man finished speaking, a group of young men immediately rushed up. "I want to sign up. My name is Zheng Goudan."

Another young man pushed away the speaking teenager, "Zheng Goudan, you can't even beat me, what martial arts are you going to learn? I want to register, I'm called Hu Tianzi!"

After Zheng Goudan was pushed, he immediately became angry, "Who said I can't beat you, Hu Tianzi? Today, in order to prove that I, Zheng Goudan, am a martial arts material, I want to duel with you!"

When Hu Tianzi heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and spat on the ground, "F * ck, I'm still scared of you!" After saying that, the two of them rolled onto the ground and began to wrestle. The rest of the youngsters continued to fight for the registration as if they didn't see the fight between the two.

"I ? I ? I'm registering. My name is Tang Dazhi."

"My name is Gao Youcai!"

An old man beside the white-faced man shook his head. The number of outer sect disciples recruited was getting lower and lower every year. Not to mention talent, even this name wouldn't make it onto the stage. The old man slowly sighed.

The pale faced man saw that the situation had gone out of control, and immediately raised his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down, "I know that everyone is anxious to sign up, I can understand that my Lifestyle Hall will definitely treat everyone as equals, it is absolutely fair, but it is not time for the registration yet, so I have come to announce this, in order to prepare everyone, and to participate in the election in the best possible state."

"May I ask when will Master Zhang be able to apply for the election?" the man called Tang Dabao asked.

The white-faced young master glanced at his big mouth, his clothes were messy, his hair was messy, and he didn't seem to have washed his face. His words even had an uncultured tone, and he couldn't help but despise the words, "This kind of scumbag wants to enter my Lifesteal Hall." However, a kind smile appeared on his face, "He hasn't arrived yet, but when the time comes for registration, my Lifestyle Hall will send out a message on the announcement list.

You're still the one asking," the white-faced man said impatiently. At this moment, a young man suddenly walked out from behind the crowd. This young man was about 170 height, his face was delicate and pretty, his eyes were small but slender, he gave off a very handsome vibe. The young man wore a set of black chivalrous robes, and on his waist was a meter long saber, giving off a very special feeling.

This person was only looking around, and he didn't look excited at all. The white-faced man was slightly surprised. How could this youth be so calm? Didn't he want to enter the Lifesteal Hall?

The white-faced man walked forward and cupped his hands together. "Brother, do you wish to participate in the outer court disciple election of my Lifesteal Hall?"

"I'm not interested, thank you." After he finished speaking, the black-robed youth with the saber walked past the white-faced man. He continued to look left and right, but didn't even turn his head back.

Because Xiao Zi cultivated every day, the herbs needed to refine the Body Refinement Pellet became fewer and fewer. Thus, Zi Yan had Xiao Zi come to Yang City to buy some Dragon Spirit Grass, and also made some clothes for Xiao Zi to wear. However, they were not familiar with this place once they entered the Yang City. It was as if they were headless flies wandering around, and they didn't see any signs of Dragon Spirit Grass. They found this market with great difficulty so naturally they focused on finding Dragon Spirit Grass. When the white-faced man heard Xiao Zi's reply, he couldn't help but be startled. Seeing that Xiao Zi seemed to be looking for something, he hurriedly followed behind her. "Little brother, do you want to buy something? I can guide you. "

The white-faced man believed in his eyesight. This youth had extraordinary talent and extraordinary temperament; he was definitely no ordinary person. The saber at his waist was especially unique. He definitely had some extraordinary background, so he must try his best to befriend him. The white-faced young master had been in the martial arts world since he was a child, and he had long known who was worthy to be in a relationship with and who was not.

Xiao Zi saw that this white-faced man was dressed extravagantly with a group of underlings following him. Just a moment ago, he had been announcing something in the market, and it was obvious that there were some powerful people in Yang City who knew where to buy the Dragon Spirit Grass.

"Do you know where they sell Dragon Spirit Grass?"

The white faced man clapped his hands, "Little brother, you've found the right person. Although this Dragon Spirit Grass is not some rare ingredient, it is very rare to see people selling it in the entire Yang City. However, I still have some stock in the Lifesteal Hall, how much do you want? Today, I was fated to give you this Dragon Spirit Grass, hahaha. "

As the white-faced man spoke, he opened his folding fan and shook it. Many people in the market secretly praised Zhang Ergong's magnanimity, but Xiao Zi felt that there was a trace of hypocrisy in the white-faced man's eyes, "No need, I just spent money on it, thank you."

"There's no need for little brother to be so polite. We're both from Sichuan, we need to be united in the martial arts world. Let's go, let's take a seat at my Lifestyle Hall first."

The white-faced man's words caused everyone to nod. Xiao Zi didn't say anything more and left the market with the others. At this moment, Zheng Goudan had already knocked Hu Tianzi out, while he himself was bleeding from head to toe. When he stood up, he couldn't see even half a shadow of the Lifesteal Hall.

The Hall of Destiny was a well-known place in the Yang City. Not only did it occupy an important position in the martial arts world, it also held a large amount of the Yang City's property. There were many escort offices for chambers of commerce located throughout the land of Sichuan, and the Hall of Destiny's headquarters occupied a vast territory.

Xiao Zi was led to the front door of the Life Snatching Hall by two white-faced men. The front door was painted red and there were two lifelike stone lions next to the door.

As soon as the Hall of Life guard saw the white-faced man return, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. "Second Young Master, you've returned."

The man nodded: "Go and inform the butler. Tell the kitchen to prepare the food. I have brought my friend back."

The only thing that the gatekeeping disciple did was to withdraw.

"Little brother, may I know your name?"

"Xiao Zi!"

The white-faced man slapped his fan, "Good name, this one is Zhang Ming. Brother Xiao, please!"

Xiao Zi nodded and walked in with Zhang Ming. Although she didn't know what Zhang Ming was planning, as long as he had the medicine, it was fine. Once he bought the medicine, he would return, and he wouldn't be afraid.

"My dad likes flowers and plants. He told the disciples to plant these, so the elders would always come here to admire and play with the flowers and birds." Zhang Ming explained to Xiao Zi.

"This flower is quite beautiful."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao, for your praise. Father will definitely be very happy to hear it."

As the two walked into the front hall, Zhang Ming had the servants prepare tea, and he and Xiao Zi were sipping on it as they chatted. Xiao Zi didn't understand much about the affairs of the martial world, so no matter what Zhang Ming said, Xiao Zi nodded in agreement, thinking to herself that they should hurry up and finish buying the medicinal herbs so they could go back to the Ghost Cave.
