The first trial was called the Ten Thousand Mile Road. Along the way, they passed through countless mountains and forests, as well as mysterious spiritual lands. Its purpose was to temper the cultivator's physique and soul, and to test their limits to see if they could break through the seal and qualify to become a disciple of the Mighty God Sect.
The second trial was to impart four different cultivation techniques, allowing the disciples to choose between them. Its purpose was to test the cultivator's ability to comprehend and see if they were qualified to cultivate the Mighty God Sect's supreme techniques.
What was about to begin was the third round of the test.
This round of the trial was obviously different from the previous two rounds. It wasn't conducted in the mysterious spirit land, nor did it involve high-grade cultivation techniques. Instead, it was conducted in a small town in the mortal world. No matter how one looked at it, there was nothing special about it.
However, this trial was a part of the Mighty God Sect's entrance assessment. Although it looked simple on the surface, there was definitely more to it than meets the eye.
If Lin Buzheng was the slightest bit careless, he would suffer a great loss, and he might even fail to pass the trial.
Therefore, Lin Buzheng took large strides into the small town. Although he looked relaxed and carefree, his heart was incomparably serious, constantly paying attention to any changes in the small town.
This small town was not big, only a few dozen miles in radius. Tens of thousands of families lived here. Not to mention the Evergreen County, even if it was compared to the Eternal Peace City, it would only be the size of a second-rate family.
Among the tens of thousands of residents, most of them were ordinary citizens without the strength to even truss a chicken. Only a small number of them were cultivators, and their cultivation was pitifully low, only at the early stage of the Qi Path. The strongest cultivator was only at the fifth or sixth stage of the Qi Path. It was not an exaggeration to say that all the cultivators in the small town combined would not be a match for Lin Buzheng.
Lin Buzheng carefully observed the small town's environment as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the park, blending into the small town.
"Steamed buns, steaming hot meat buns. Friend, do you want a few?"
In the next moment, before Lin Buzheng could reach the center of the town, an old man selling meat buns by the side of the road pushed a cart filled with steamed meat buns over with a passionate expression.
As it turned out, before Lin Buzheng had entered the town, he had used his Divine Might Primordial True Yuan to wash off all the dirt and dirt on his body. Then, he had changed into the new clothes he had prepared in his Space Ring. His entire aura had changed instantly. He was elegant, elegant, and otherworldly, like a young master of a rich family who had gone out to travel. He had immediately attracted the old man's attention.
"Give me a tray of meat buns."
Lin Buzheng nodded. In his previous training, other than being a little ragged at the beginning, he had awakened a certain amount of blood energy. When he was thirsty, he would drink spirit spring water. When he was hungry, he would eat spirit beast meat and supreme spirit herbs.
Everything he ate and drank was worth tens of thousands of gold. It was not something that the meat buns in the mortal world could compare to.
However, when compared to spirit herbs and spirit meat, the food in the mortal world might lack spiritual energy, but it had the taste of the mortal world. Frying, roasting, boiling, deep-frying, and adding pepper and salt, the taste was much better than the latter.
In the past year, Lin Buzheng had been training in the deep mountains and forests like a savage. Now that he had entered the town and smelled the fragrance of the meat buns, his appetite was immediately stimulated. He immediately wanted to buy a tray of meat buns and eat them to his heart's content.
"Alright, Young Master, please enjoy!"
Although the old man selling meat buns was rather old, his hands and feet were extremely nimble. Before he finished speaking, he had already filled a large bag of meat buns with oiled paper and handed it to Lin Buzheng.
"Oh, delicious! Delicious!"
Lin Buzheng picked up a meat bun and took a bite. The golden, fragrant meat oil immediately flowed down the folds of the bun, giving off an extremely rich meaty fragrance.
Lin Buzheng praised again and again as he fiercely ate, one bun at a time. In less than ten breaths of time, he had finished the entire tray of 20 meat buns.
"Old man, give me two more trays of meat buns!"
Lin Buzheng patted his belly, feeling unsatisfied. He ordered two more trays of meat buns and wolfed them down. Only then did he feel slightly satisfied.
"Little brother, you have a good appetite. Three trays of 60 meat buns, a total of 120 copper coins."
The old man was slightly surprised by Lin Buzheng's astonishing appetite. But he immediately shook his head and no longer thought about it. Instead, he rubbed his old, scalded hands together and looked at Lin Buzheng with anticipation.
It had to be known that this old man only sold seven or eight trays of meat buns a day. But now, he had sold three trays in a single breath.
Like this, the old man could sell out the meat buns earlier and return home earlier to see his cute little granddaughter.
"Uh, I'm sorry, old man. I don't have any copper coins on me."
"Can I give you gold notes?"
Hearing this, Lin Buzheng was slightly startled. It wasn't that he was concerned about the price of the meat buns, but he just remembered that he had no copper coins on him. He didn't even have taels of silver on him. He only had gold notes.
When Lin Buzheng lived in Evergreen County, he used gold as his daily currency. Even in the even more remote Yong Ning City, he used taels of silver to trade. There were no copper coins.
But now, the currency used in this remote town was the most primitive and cheapest copper coins. This was out of Lin Buzheng's expectations.
The exchange rate between silver and gold was 50 to 1.
The exchange rate between copper and silver was even more terrifying. It was 100 to 1.
This meant that a total of 5,000 copper coins could only be exchanged for one tael of gold.
This was not the scariest part. When Lin Buzheng left Evergreen County, he didn't plan on bringing any money from the secular world.
The so-called gold and silver were only useful in the secular world. No one used them in the Heavenly Sects.
In the Heavenly Sects that had been passed down for a long time, they all used spiritual stones as their currency.
But later, Lin Buzheng thought about it. In order to avoid inconvenience, he sold a few Night Illumination Pearls and collected a million gold notes before he set off.
But the one million gold notes that Lin Buzheng prepared were of the lowest denomination of ten thousand taels.
In other words, one gold note was equivalent to fifty million taels of copper coins. It was probably enough to buy the entire town.
One could imagine that even if Lin Buzheng took out the gold notes, the old man wouldn't be able to change it …
"Ah, gold notes?"
The old man heard this and looked at Lin Buzheng blankly. In his long life, he probably hadn't even heard of gold notes, let alone gold notes.
"Here, old man, this is it!"
Lin Buzheng thought about it and felt that it was necessary to prove that he wasn't a freeloader. His right hand reached into his pocket and took out a shiny gold note. He handed it to the old man.
"Ah, this is … a gold note?"
The old man reached out his old hand and received it with trembling hands. He held it in front of his eyes and looked at it a few times. Suddenly, he flew into a rage. "Bastard, what is this thing you took out? Are you trying to trick me?"
"You have to pay when you buy something. This has been the case since ancient times. I see that you are handsome and talented. I didn't expect you to use such a cheap trick to freeload. How shameless!"
