Battling Records of the Chosen One [The Prodigies War] MTL - Chapter 63

[Chapter 63]

East New Town, Li Ji’s bookstore.

This is an inconspicuous little bookstore, located deep in the corner of a bustling street. It is quite remote, and the business is naturally deserted.

The owner, surnamed Li, is an old man who has entered his twilight years. At this time, he is resting his forehead with his hand behind the counter, and is sleepy.

There is only one teenager in the bookstore picking books in front of the shelves, and the atmosphere is quiet.

The young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was thin and slender, with a handsome and warm face. He was dressed in coarse gray clothes, but he looked fresh and clean.

This person is Lin Xun.

Not long after, Lin Xun picked out four books, came to the counter, and said softly: “Old man.” The

old man was sober and smiled: “Well, let me see, “Empire Mountains and Rivers”, “Empire Official History”, “Fundamentals of Cultivation”, “Atlas of Spirit Patterns”…” The

old man raised his head and said in amazement, “Young people nowadays are seldom interested in this knowledge, and it is rare for someone like you to like reading.”

Lin Xun He smiled slightly: “Old man, how much are these four books?” The

old man said casually: “If you want it, it will be twenty copper coins.”

After Lin Xun paid the money, he picked up the books and hurried out of the bookstore.

The night outside is like ink, but the buildings in the distance are brightly lit, beautiful like stars falling into the world.

With the night breeze, Lin Xun hurriedly walked down the street. Not long after, he turned into a shop called [Ahu Fruit Pulp], took out five copper coins, and bought a large cup of sweet and sour “Yunxiang Fruit Pulp”. “.

This is the signature drink of Ahu Fruit Pulp Shop.

It is prepared by mixing several spiritual materials such as “Poria leaves”, “Purple Flos”, “Ryunxiang Fruit” and some spiritual vegetables. It is not only delicious to drink, but also has no impurities, so it is very suitable for cultivators to drink.

Holding the purchased books and fruit pulp, Lin Xun kept walking through the streets and alleys, and not long after, he came to an extremely prosperous and spacious street.

The streets are crowded with people and traffic, and colorful lights adorn the buildings on both sides, which are colorful and bright.

Many passers-by are dressed in gorgeous clothes. Treasure carriages shuttle back and forth. From time to time, there are cultivators riding scale horses, horned deer and other mounts galloping past.

Some vendors set up street stalls and shouted frequently, and the lively sound continued to ferment over this bustling street.

This is the most famous street in East Lincheng, eight hundred feet long, so it is also called “Eight Hundred Streets”.

In the center of this street, there are many top commercial houses, restaurants, inns, medicinal herb shops, and spiritual material shops in the east side of the city.

Every shop is a famous gold-selling cave in the east side of the city. There are major cities behind it. Therefore, almost all the guests they receive are expensive cultivators, and most people can’t afford it at all.

On the east end of “Eight Hundred Streets”, there is a college called “East Lin College”. You can practice in it for a fee.

Among all the people who are interested in cultivation in Donglin City, being able to enter the “Donglin Academy” to study is already regarded as a lintel of glory.

The road that Lin Xun took happened to pass through the “East Lin College”. He couldn’t help but take a second glance. He saw that the academy covers an extremely wide area, and the buildings within it are dotted and undulating. From time to time, there are students in and out of it. .

Stopped and watched silently for a moment, then Lin Xun turned around and left.

At this time, a group of teenagers and girls came from the opposite side, all dressed in sable furs, looking very different.

“In another month, I will be able to participate in the government test. I already have the cultivation base of the third realm of true martial arts, which is enough to pass the test easily!”

“Hahaha, among us, which one is not under fifteen years old, and which one is not ?

Cultivation above the third realm of true martial arts? This palace test is easy for us.”

“Yes, this palace test is not worth worrying about at all. What should be considered is whether to go directly to Qingfeng County to participate after passing the palace test. The state exam in March of the following year!”

“Can’t say the same, this time our Donglin College has 3,000 people to take the prefectural examination, and the number of admissions for the prefectural examination is only 1,000. Two thousand people have been eliminated. Don’t be careless, everyone.”

“Oh, I’m worried about that too.”

These young girls and boys were chatting as they walked, and the topics they talked about were all focused on the assessment of the “Government Exam”.

Lin Xunzheng intends to pay more attention. Unfortunately, all the boys and girls have already entered the “Donglin Academy”. Obviously, they are all students of Donglin Academy.

When Lin Xun saw this, it was not easy to catch up.

“I didn’t expect so many people to participate in the government examination this time, and 2,000 people will be eliminated, which means that even if they meet the conditions for passing the examination, they may not be admitted.”

Lin Xun thought while walking. The so-called admission is to obtain Obtained the certificate of passing the government test, and this certificate is one of the conditions required to participate in the next “state test”.

It didn’t take long for Lin Xun’s figure to disappear on “Eight Hundred Streets”, and after walking for a full incense stick, he entered a deserted, dark and dilapidated street.

This is the “civilian area” of the east side of the city. Most of the people living in it are people from the bottom of the society. Compared with the prosperity of other places, this civilian area is undoubtedly dilapidated. The people living here are also mixed and varied.

The law and order here is also very poor. There are thieves, hooligans, and murderers passing through it every day, which is extremely chaotic.

If it had to be a last resort, Lin Xun would not have arranged his residence here.

Lin Xun walked along a dark alley, with dirty water stains under his feet, and the barking of wild dogs and cats could be heard from time to time in the distance.

At the corner of the alley, a man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly rushed out and greeted Lin Xun with a smile: “Hey, buddy, alone?”

Click!

Just as the man raised his hand, Lin Xun grabbed it, his palm and fingers exerted force and broke the opponent’s wrist directly.

I saw that the man’s raised palm loosened, and a small blade glowed with a cold light, falling to the ground, making a jingling sound.

The man was in pain, and just as he was about to scream, he was stunned by Lin Xun’s palm.

From the beginning to the end, all the actions happened in a flash, and it was neat and tidy, and the curtain came to an end in an instant.

Lin Xun seemed to have long been used to this kind of thing, so he looked naturally calm and walked forward.

Not long after Lin Xun left, two sneaky figures appeared again at the corner of the alley.

When he saw the man who fainted

on the ground, one of the fat men couldn’t help laughing at the misfortune, “How many is this?”

This is already the nineteenth person planted in his hands.”

“Haha, this rotten head Zhang used to be a clever person, but today he can’t open his eyes, and he actually hit the idea of this young man. Doesn’t he know how the snake boss died?

” In the middle of the alley, who doesn’t know that in the courtyard of No. 49 deep in the alley, there is a ruthless young man who kills people without blinking?”

“Okay, it’s time for us to act.

” Leaning over the man called “Rotten Head Zhang” and groping for a while, he found more than ten copper coins, and then left happily.

…

In the courtyard of No. 49 deep in the alley, Lin Xun pushed the door and entered.

boom!

A fist burst into the air, revealing a terrifying momentum, and the air shattered and splattered, making a dull explosion.

Lin Xun didn’t move, and said helplessly: “It’s me.”

Suddenly, the fist style subsided, everything returned to calm, and the young and slender figure of Xia Zhi had appeared in front of him.

“I know it’s you, if someone else died earlier.” Xia Zhi stepped forward, took a cup of “Yunxiang Fruit Pulp” from Lin Xun’s hand naturally, and turned to leave.

Lin Xun smiled and shrugged, then walked in.

This courtyard is not big. There is a large locust tree in the center of the courtyard.

On the other side are two residences and a kitchen. After a thorough cleaning, it is quite quiet and tidy.

In the room, a Nanling Incense Candle was lit.

Lin Xun sat in front of the desk, flipping through the books he had bought, while Xia Zhi sat quietly on the stool on the side, sipping the “yunxiang fruit pulp” in the cup with his small mouth.

Seven days ago, the two came to Donglin City, but when they were looking for a place to stay, they found that with the three hundred silver coins that Lin Xun carried, they could not rent a place with a good environment in the city, but lived in an inn. Not only does it cost a lot, but it also has a lot of eyes and is not suitable for long-term living.

In desperation, Lin Xun could only rent the yard in this “civilian area”, and the rent was surprisingly cheap, only thirty silver coins a year.

It was only after seven days of living that Lin Xun finally understood why the rent was so cheap, because this place was too chaotic, mixed with fish and dragons, and there were all kinds of characters.

On the first day I came here, a man nicknamed “Snake Head” led a group of local rogues to collect protection fees.

The next day, Lin Xun went out to buy daily necessities. When he returned home, he saw three dead bodies lying in the yard. When he asked about the summer solstice, it turned out that they were three thieves who had entered the house and stole it.

On the third day, Lin Xun was blocked by a group of people who had already been in ambush in the streets, trying to rob him.

On the fourth day, Lin Xun encountered a group of murderers trying to rob a woman, and immediately stepped forward to rescue her, but it turned out that the woman and the murderers were in the same group.

The fifth day…

In short, in the short seven days that Lin Xun moved in, all kinds of thieves, rogues, rogues, and murderers came and went like wild dogs that smell blood.

Of course, the fate of those people was extremely tragic, and many of them had completely disappeared from the world, but Lin Xun knew very well that if he dealt with these robbers and thieves every day, there was no guarantee that something would go wrong.

The most important thing is that there is a summer solstice by his side, and he doesn’t want the little girl to grow up in this dirty and sinister environment.

As for the reason, it’s very simple, because Lin Xun grew up in the dark environment of the mine prison. Since he was a child, he has seen many cruel, deceitful, bloody, and vicious dark tricks, and he has also seen more vicious people with bloody hands. people.

Compared with these murderers, the gangsters who are entrenched in this “civilian area” are as pure as a white lotus flower, as well-behaved as ignorant young children, and there is no deterrence at all.

Lin Xun knew that if there was no Mr. Lu back then, he would have been infected by this environment since childhood, and he would have drowned in the dark road and become inhuman.

In view of this, Lin Xun naturally would not let Xia Zhi live in such a dirty and dark environment.

However, if you want to relocate, you need a huge amount of money, which is not possible for Lin Xun for the time being.

So now, what Lin Xun cares most about is not how to pass the “government test”, but how to… make money!
