"It's not easy, the Du Family is finally recruiting guards."
"The Du Family is currently recruiting twenty guards. The requirement is to be at least sixteen years old and have a strong body."
"The Du Family's guards have a monthly wage of ten Cultivation Coins and the guard captain has fifty Cultivation Coins. The treatment is much better than the other families."
"The Du Family is recruiting guards. This is a good opportunity. If you can enter the Du Family as a guard, you might even be able to learn the Du Family's martial skills. At that time, you will truly stand out. The Du Family is rarely recruiting guards. This is a good opportunity. "
On the bustling streets of the Stone City, a few burly men dressed in martial arts clothes with an extraordinary aura pasted a large red notice on the city wall. Suddenly, a large group of figures gathered in front of the city wall and whispered to each other as they discussed spiritedly.
Among the few burly men with extraordinary auras, the leading burly man was riding a dark red horse with two horns on its head. Its body was strong and sturdy, and its aura was oppressive. He looked at the gathering crowd and said: "Tomorrow morning, my Du Family is recruiting guards. As long as you can withstand three moves from my Du Family's main branch's younger generation, you can become a guard. If you can defeat or tie with any of my Du Family's main branch's younger generation, you can become a guard captain. There are twenty spots, first come, first served."
The burly man on the horse's sharp gaze revealed a kind of pride and arrogance. The Du Family's position in the entire Stone City was not ordinary. As a member of the Du Family, he naturally had a sense of pride that surpassed ordinary people.
As the burly man's voice faded, the several people behind him each jumped onto their horses and stood side by side behind the leading burly man. Their movements were neat and neat as they swaggered off.
"The one riding the Ferghana Dragon Horse in front is the Du Family's Vice Commander, Du Qi. Rumor has it that he has already reached the Xiantian Realm."
"If only I could reach the Xiantian Realm. Then, I would have no problem walking sideways in Stone City. Let's see who dares to look down on me in the future."
"You should go pray to the gods and Buddha. Pray that you can enter the Du Family as a guard tomorrow. Although the Du Family's younger generation is not old, each and every one of them is extremely valiant. I'm afraid that not many people can withstand three moves from them. Xiantian Realm, dream on. That level is not something that anyone can reach."
"Hehe, tomorrow I will definitely join the Du Clan as a guard."
Among the crowd of onlookers, a burly man with a face full of stubble and slightly dark skin smiled mysteriously at his companions. He lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you guys a secret. As long as you can become a guard captain, you will be able to cultivate some of the Du Family's cultivation methods and martial skills. At that time, it is not impossible to completely become a member of the Du Family."
"Blackie, you're not lying to us, are you? The captain of the guards can practice the Du Family's Cultivation Methods and Martial Skills?" The man's companions were shocked, and their eyes were filled with envy.
The man called Hei Zi patted his chest and promised, "One of my distant relatives is a member of the Du Clan. Why would I lie to you?"
"You actually have a relative from the Du Family? Then you'll definitely be admitted tomorrow." When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately revealed looks of envy towards Hei Zi.
When the news of the Du Family recruiting guards spread out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. As a new large family in the Stone City, their strength was strong these past few years. They were ranked among the Five Great Families of the Stone City, and they would continue to have a strong momentum. Their every move naturally attracted the attention of the entire city.
Dusk. Thick clouds and mist occupied the sky above the Stone City. The sun near the horizon was like a ball of fire that was about to be extinguished. Rays of crimson light shot out from the gaps between the clouds and mist, and then descended on the mountains.
The Stone City was close to the Savage Beast Mountain Range. It was located at the border of the empire, and Demonic Beasts would frequently appear. There were all kinds of people mixed in, and it also caused the people in the Stone City to worship martial arts. They were also exceptionally valiant. Among them, the Five Great Families were martial cultivation families.
"Deng Deng!"
A few horses raised their hooves, causing dust to fly in the air. Their imposing manner was extraordinary. The one riding the Ferghana Horse Dragon was the official vice commander of the Du Family's guards, Du Qi.
Behind Du Qi, a big man slightly raised his head to look at the sky. Then, he smiled at the people on the horse beside him and said: "Thirteenth day, let's bet if that fool is still here. Five profound coins, how about it 1: 1?"
"That fool seems to be getting more and more foolish recently. I'm afraid he's still here. I bet he's still here."
"It's already the thirteenth day. That fool shouldn't be here anymore. The previous record was only ten days. I bet he's not here anymore."
Five pieces of cultivation coins was half a month's salary for an ordinary guard, but these burly men were very interested. It seemed like this wasn't the first time they had made such a bet, so they all took out five pieces of cultivation coins and handed it over to the first burly man.
"You guys, be careful. Although that person isn't favored in the family and his actions are rather strange, don't blame me for not warning you. After all, that person is the young master of the Du Family. He's your master. If one day you guys fall because of this, even I won't be able to protect you."
On the Ferghana Horse Dragon, Du Qi glared at the few big men with a stern expression.
The big man who took the lead to make a fuss was somewhat afraid under Du Qi's stern gaze. His gaze flickered, then he smiled embarrassedly and said: "Vice Commander, the entire Du Family, and even the entire Shi City, are calling him a fool behind his back. What's more, he's both a cripple and a fool. It shouldn't be a problem for us to call him that in private, right?"
"Although that's the case, a master is still a master. No matter how crippled or foolish that person is, the blood flowing in his body is still the blood of the Du Family. You guys have to be clear about your position. Otherwise, you're destined to suffer a great loss in the future." Du Qi fiercely glared at the few big men.
"Understood, Vice Commander."
The few big men suddenly trembled and nodded their heads. They naturally understood the logic of the Vice Commander's words.
Seeing this, Du Qi's expression eased a little. Then, he turned his head and glanced at the first big man who made a fuss and said: "Five profound coins, right? Add me five profound coins as well. I bet that person is still standing there."
"Haha, Vice Commander has also placed a bet."
Seeing this, the tense atmosphere from before dissipated by quite a bit. They urged their horses to gallop faster, all wanting to know whether the person from the Du Family was still there or not.
The Du Family, one of the five great families of Shi City, had a grand and imposing building. And in front of the Du Family's main gate was a barren mountain, which was especially eye-catching in front of the majestic Du Family.
That barren mountain was strange. All year round, not a single blade of grass grew. Birds did not land, snakes, insects, rats and ants did not come near. It was like a dead land, to the extent that the Du Family members thought that this place was ominous and avoided it like the plague.
It was said that the Du Family's main gate was originally near the mountain, but because of the ominous place, the Du Family members forcibly moved the Du Family's main gate to the front.
From then on, the Du Family, which was originally a third rate family, began to rise in Shi City. This made people increasingly believe that the barren mountain was an ominous place, and less and less people dared to approach it.
The barren mountain was like a dead land, not a single blade of grass grew. It was completely withered, and the ground was filled with sand and stones.
On top of the barren mountain, half of a stone tablet stood tall. The remaining half of the stone tablet should be buried in the barren mountain.
Half of the stone tablet was exposed on top of the barren mountain. It was extremely large, at least three feet tall, and mottled all over. No one knew how long it had been there. At the very least, no one in the Du Family knew how long this stone tablet had been there. It was said that the stone tablet had been there since the ancestors.
Perhaps because the stone tablet had been there for a long time, there were many intricate and small cracks on it.
No one in the Du Family was interested in the stone tablet. In addition, the stone tablet was on top of an ominous barren mountain, so no one paid any attention to it.
It was said that the Du Family had experts examine the stone tablet in the past, and it was completely an ordinary stone tablet. There was nothing special about it.
The only special thing about the stone tablet was the storm ten years ago. The famous young master of the Du family, Du Shaofu, was in a daze in front of the stone tablet. A lightning bolt struck the stone tablet, but the stone tablet was fine. Du Shaofu, who was in front of the stone tablet, was in a coma for three days and three nights because of the lightning bolt.
"Damn, that fool … that person is still there. It's already the thirteenth day."
"I lost another half a month's salary. The rest of the month will be difficult. When the time comes, lend me some living expenses to deal with this emergency."
As the sun set in the west, in front of the Du Family's main gate, several strong men stared blankly at the figure of a thin youth in front of the stone tablet. Then, their eyes were filled with joy and disappointment.
Those who won were happy, but those who lost five cultivation coins were naturally unhappy.
Who would have thought that this time, the person that the entire Du Family called a fool, would break the record again. He stood in front of the stone tablet for thirteen days without rest.
"Let's go, it's going to be dark soon. Tomorrow, there will be many young masters and young ladies going to the guard recruitment to try their hands. We cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Du Qi retracted his gaze from the stone tablet and secretly sighed. Tomorrow's guard recruitment was, in fact, a small practice for the younger generation of the Du Family. It was killing two birds with one stone. However, the person on the mountain, although he was also a young master of the Du Family, tomorrow's practice had nothing to do with him. Perhaps, it would never have anything to do with him. They were both young masters and young ladies, but this was the difference.
"That fool is still standing there. It's been thirteen days, right? He's getting more and more foolish."
"It is said that the family has found many doctors to treat that fool, but they were all ineffective. There is really no medicine that can cure him."
Outside the Du Residence, many servants and maids would occasionally glance at the barren mountain in front of them. Their gazes were filled with regret and regret. A young master who should have lived a life of luxury had unexpectedly turned into such a fool.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Dusk gradually passed. The place where the sun set in the west still had a touch of red. As the last ray of afterglow faded, the world also became dark.
In front of the stone tablet, a purple-robed youth sat cross-legged. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. On his slightly childish face, there was a bit more fortitude and determination compared to his peers. His slightly closed eyes and thick eyebrows were like swords.
The youth was called Du Shaofu. His appearance was not bad. If he was not from the Stone City, it was hard to imagine why he would be called a fool.
In the deep blue night sky, the stars gradually appeared. A crescent moon was deep in the sky, like a curved blade blooming with a bright white blade light.
In the dead of night, the entire Du Family was in a deep sleep. No one would pay attention to the youth on the mountain.
The ancient stone tablet stood tall, and under the cover of the moonlight, it looked especially strange.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, on the ancient stone tablet, the originally intricate cracks began to emit a faint light. The cracks continued to crack, and the entire barren mountain gently shook. No one saw all of this, or else they would be fiercely shocked.
"Crack crack."
Finally, the cracks on the ancient stone tablet that had stood for countless years became bigger and bigger. The light within the cracks became more and more dazzling, turning into a curtain of light that enveloped Du Shaofu's body. Then, the entire stone tablet suddenly cracked, turning into a pile of gravel and powder that piled up on the barren mountain.
"Chi chi!"
As the light curtain disappeared, Du Shaofu, who was in front of the stone tablet, suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes. Two rays of light shot out from his eyes like lightning in the night. An ancient aura swept out from his thin body, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
"Huff!"
After spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, a faint smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face. He sighed softly and said: "After ten years, I have finally comprehended the first move!"
