(Added to the second chapter updated yesterday)
The token was bronze in color, with two lifelike dragons connected head to tail on the left and right. The word "Earth" was engraved on the front, and the word "Chen Zong" below. On the back, there was a carving of a dragon head, and its eyes were inlaid with flawless rubies, shining brightly.
The token of the Dragon Pavilion was also known as the Dragon Token, which was of the Earth level.
In addition to the Earth-level All Dragons Command, Chen Zong also obtained another object. It was a jade-white object that resembled a crescent moon. It was round and smooth, and was engraved with dense patterns of flood dragons, as if a group of dragons were coiling around it. Its shape resembled a tooth, and it was about half the size of a thumb.
This was a dragon tooth, a kind of currency circulated within the Dragon Pavilion.
Chen Zong received a total of ten dragon teeth, which was a rule of the Dragon Pavilion.
New members of the pavilion would receive a corresponding dragon tooth. Human-level members would receive one, Earth-level members would receive ten, and Heaven-level members would receive one hundred.
Guan Yunxiao also received a reward, which was also ten dragon teeth, because he recommended Chen Zong.
However, Guan Yunxiao's expression was ugly at this time. The ten dragon teeth in his hand were very hot, as if they had been roasted by flames.
Ten dragon teeth were a large sum for him. It was usually difficult to get them. If he could get them, he would be grinning from ear to ear. But now, he got them through Chen Zong. That kind of feeling was indescribably sour.
Chen Zong even thanked him, which was like a bright and sharp sword, fiercely stabbing into his wound and twisting it hard.
"Dragon teeth have many uses. You can exchange them for cultivation methods, martial arts, treasures, and so on of the Dragon Pavilion. You can also ask other members to do things for you. The Dragon Pavilion has a total of five floors. The first floor is for the assessment, the second floor is for Human-level members, the third floor is for Earth-level members, the fourth floor is for Heaven-level members, and the fifth floor contains cultivation methods, martial arts, and treasures.
"If you have enough dragon teeth, you can also exchange them for peerless cultivation methods, martial arts, and even pseudo-spiritual weapons."
The elder's words made Chen Zong's heart tremble. He really wanted to go to the fifth floor of the Dragon Pavilion to have a look. It even had Peerless Rank cultivation methods and martial arts. It was extraordinary.
As if sensing Chen Zong's interest, the Cabinet Elder waved his hand to dismiss Chen Zong.
At this moment, Guan Yunxiao's mind was in a mess. He felt as if his pride had been shattered, making him extremely uncomfortable. He unconsciously clenched his fists and tightened his grip on the Dragon's Tooth, causing it to creak.
Chen Zong snorted coldly. In Guan Yunxiao's eyes, Chen Zong's calm expression seemed to be complacent. Unable to bear it any longer, he turned and strode away.
The Grand Elder couldn't help but shake his head.
Guan Yunxiao was the one who recommended Chen Zong. This was a very good relationship. He should take Chen Zong to the second or even the third floor. In the future, when Chen Zong made a meteoric rise, Guan Yunxiao would also be a beneficiary.
Guan Yunxiao was a Human-level Cabinet Member, while Chen Zong was an Earth-level Cabinet Member. In terms of talent and potential, Chen Zong surpassed Guan Yunxiao. The Cabinet Elder thought that Guan Yunxiao's correct approach was to put down his pride and build a good relationship with Chen Zong. Unfortunately, Guan Yunxiao was blinded by his pride and couldn't accept the established fact.
Walking up to the second floor, Chen Zong heard a lot of noise. Standing at the top of the stairs, he looked around. There was a very spacious hall on the second floor, decorated in an ancient style. Whether it was the tables or chairs, there were dragon carvings. On the walls, there were also patterns of dragons circling around.
It felt as if he had entered a place where dragons circled around.
While Chen Zong was looking around the second floor, everyone in the hall also looked at Chen Zong.
This was an unfamiliar face.
Looking at his clothes, he was very ordinary and didn't look like a disciple with an extraordinary background.
Basically, everyone knew the members of the Dragon Pavilion. What they looked like, what their names were, and even what their characteristics were. Every Cabinet Member knew.
"Who are you?" Immediately, a tall young man got up and strode over. Frowning, he asked in a cold voice, "Do you know that this is the Dragon Pavilion? Not just anyone can come in."
Before Chen Zong could answer, the man spoke again.
"I don't know how you got past the guards and entered here, but you'd better get out now. Otherwise, if you're discovered, the consequences will be very serious," the man spoke again, full of a sense of superiority.
Chen Zong shook his head imperceptibly and withdrew his gaze. He didn't even bother to respond and strode toward the stairs of the third floor.
"Stop!" The tall young man felt that he was being looked down upon. His expression changed, and his right hand reached out to grab Chen Zong's shoulder like a tiger's claw. The wind under his hand whistled.
Unexpectedly, the figure under the claw flashed, causing the claw to grab empty air. Just as he was about to attack again, a bright and dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes.
The tall young man reacted quickly and hurriedly retreated. Taking a closer look, he saw a sharp sword pointing at him. He was immediately annoyed.
"You've been exposed by me. Are you angry from embarrassment? I advise you to obediently put away your sword, lest you make a mistake." The tall young man sneered as if he had grasped something.
The others got up and walked over, their expressions unfriendly.
Although it was fun to watch the show, this was the Dragon Pavilion. It wasn't a place where they could casually make a move.
Immediately, they stopped in their tracks and stared blankly at the token in Chen Zong's hand.
It was bronze in color, and the word "Earth" was clearly written. Below the word "Earth" were the two words "Chen Zong".
The tall young man's eyes widened. His face was full of astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.
Sheathing his sword and putting away the token, Chen Zong turned and walked up the stairs to the third floor, leaving behind a group of people who seemed to be in a state of chaos.
"I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"Earth Level Dragon Token!"
"Chen Zong, I've never heard of this name."
"Is he a new member who just passed the assessment?"
One by one, they began to discuss in shock.
The members of the Dragon Pavilion were all in the Qi Refining Realm. Once they broke through to the True Martial Realm, they would leave the Dragon Pavilion. After all, the True Martial Realm and the Qi Refining Realm were two major realms. The gap was huge. Even a six-star Qi Refining Realm martial artist couldn't defeat the weakest True Martial Realm martial artist.
The Dragon Pavilion had the most Human Level members. There were more than a hundred of them in total. Some of them were on the Jiao Dragon List, and some of them didn't have four-star combat strength but had four-star potential.
As for the Earth Level members, there were relatively fewer of them. There were only about 30 of them. Most of them had five-star combat strength and were the top geniuses on the Jiao Dragon List. A few of them had five-star potential.
As for the Heaven Level members, there were less than ten of them. Only one of them had six-star combat strength but had six-star potential. The others all had six-star combat strength and were ranked in the top ten of the Jiao Dragon List.
The names of the Earth Level members flashed through their minds. Indeed, there was no name like Chen Zong. This made them even more certain that this person was a new member.
The tall young man who stopped Chen Zong was full of regret. He had offended an Earth Level member. This wasn't a good thing.
"Where's his referer?" a Human Level member asked curiously.
Everyone looked around but didn't find anyone else. They were all surprised.
As members of the Dragon Pavilion, they all knew the rules of the Dragon Pavilion. Without a recommendation, one couldn't participate in the assessment and couldn't become a member of the Dragon Pavilion. Since ancient times, even the children of the royal family had to abide by this rule.
On the other hand, recommending an Earth class Pavilion Member would give him ten Dragon Teeth as a reward. Furthermore, he had a close relationship with that Earth class Pavilion Member and was on the same side. While there might not be any benefits in a short period of time, in the long run, the rewards would be much greater than ten Dragon Teeth.
Such examples were not rare since the establishment of the Dragon Pavilion.
Under normal circumstances, it should be the referer who brought Chen Zong into the Dragon Pavilion and went to the third floor.
No matter how they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the reason.
The tall young man still looked a little uneasy.
Chen Zong stepped onto the third floor of the Dragon Pavilion. The area of the third floor was smaller than the second floor, but the layout of the hall was more exquisite. However, the style was the same as the second floor, surrounded by dragons.
There were also people in the hall of the third floor, but there were fewer than the second floor, only six or seven.
Their sharp gazes pierced the air like swords and fell on Chen Zong's face, giving Chen Zong a trace of pressure. They were very strong. Chen Zong had a feeling that he was no match for any of these people.
There was no fear. Instead, there was some excitement in the depths of his heart.
Real martial artists, real geniuses, all became stronger when they met strong opponents.
"Who are you?" One of them stood up and asked without any trace of politeness.
Chen Zong took out the Earth Level Dragon Token. Everyone saw it clearly at a glance. They didn't doubt its authenticity because they believed that no one would dare to fake it.
"So you're a new pavilion member. Chen Zong is your name, right? My name is Tong Gang." The person who asked suddenly smiled and said in a much better tone, "Where's your recommendation?"
"I'm not in a good mood, so I left," Chen Zong said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Zong's answer, everyone was stunned because they couldn't figure out why he was in a bad mood. Did he think that it was not enough to recommend an Earth Level pavilion member and that it had to be a Heaven Level?
However, seeing that Chen Zong didn't have any intention to explain, they didn't ask further.
"My name is Zhou Renyi …"
"My name is …"
The people in the hall of the third floor introduced themselves to Chen Zong one by one.
After all, Chen Zong was an Earth Level pavilion member. This identity proved his talent and potential. There was no conflict between them and Chen Zong, so it was best to make friends with him.
In the end, when the Dragon Pavilion was first established, it was to gather the top geniuses in the dynasty and use them as much as possible for the dynasty. As it developed, in addition to its original purpose, it gradually gave birth to other things, such as becoming a platform.
It should be known that most of the pavilion members of the Dragon Pavilion came from very high backgrounds, such as the children of some large family. Each of them had their own resources and advantages, and each had their own areas of expertise.
Sometimes, there were some things that might not be easy to handle by oneself, so it was inevitable that the strength of others would be needed. The strength of the other pavilion members of the Dragon Pavilion would undoubtedly come in handy.
After some discussion, Chen Zong also learned about the identities of these people. Some were from the Marquis' residence, some were even the sons of the Marquis, and some were the young masters of large families in the Imperial City.
