Chen Chuan grabbed a handful of bait on his fingertips and sprinkled it out. Circles of ripples spread out in the pond, and the golden-red fish shadows under the water swung their fins and tails and swam quickly to fight for it.

He said: "Someone told me about the purity, and because of the recent damage to the World Ring, a lot of purity has been leaked outside, so I and some people were asked to do testing before."

Cao Guiqi asked in surprise: "Has the purity been leaked?" He shook his head again, "It will be blocked soon."

After he sprinkled another handful of the bait in his hand, he handed it to Uncle Ding, took a cloth handkerchief from the latter's hand and wiped it, and then said: "Follow me." With that, he moved away.

outward.

Chen Chuan followed him outside and reached the outlet of the pond. He saw a river winding out, with a row of green weeping willows on the bank. A small and exquisite painting boat was parked in front of the embankment.

Cao Guiqi stepped on the wooden board and reached the elegant seat of the painting boat. He greeted Chen Chuan and sat down. The servant who was waiting here immediately poured the freshly boiled water into the tea cup.

Uncle Ding also followed and asked the servant to untie the thick rope. The boatman behind picked up a long and thick pole and stretched it, and the boat slowly left the shore.

The painting boat floated along the water and turned around a protruding island head. The river gradually opened up, and the river reflecting the green shadows on both sides of the bank extended to the inner lake of Motie Mountain in front. Several egrets flew out of the forest and suddenly skimmed the water.

And passed.

Cao Guiqi said: "There are power groups and factions everywhere. If you are not among them, then you will not be able to get in. After all, there are only so many ways and connections. If you are not one of them, they will not take the initiative to give them to you.

"

As the ship moved forward, the scenery on the shore gradually moved backward. He looked at the distant mountains and the green shades scattered far and near, and said: "Actually, the new era is much better than the old one. If we were in the old era,

In this era, that junior fellow student, you don’t even have the means to reach what’s in front of you.

I’m afraid you don’t know, my junior, that in the old dynasty, if you were not a member of the clan, relatives and a few high-ranking sects, even those who had been appointed for generations would have to pay marrow tax and blood tribute every year.”

Chen Chuan thought about these words: "Marrow tax and blood tribute?"

Cao Guiqi said: "It means literally, because the essence, blood and bone marrow of warriors can be used to prepare medicines, refine pills, feed tame livestock, and the alienated tissues can also be used to make various weapons and utensils, so the emperor used this

Listed as tribute tax.

The old imperial family did this, in addition to the above-mentioned purposes, mainly to suppress and weaken the powerful families outside the imperial family. Warriors coming here every year would inevitably damage their vitality, so that they would not be able to gain momentum in terms of force, and they would not be able to threaten the imperial family and the family.

Many honorable relatives.

However, this method was very strict at the beginning, but gradually became less effective later on. The powerful families tried to use the essence, blood and marrow of warriors raised by the people or themselves to replenish their power, while they secretly accumulated power.

However, due to the legacy left by many changes in the past among the people, there are still many big forces and schools left, many of which are people with outstanding talents. They have been exploited for a long time and have deep resentments. After the algae revolution, these

Both became one of the main forces that overthrew the old imperial family.

After the advent of the new era, the Dashun government learned this lesson and gave the fighters below a way to rise. At the same time, it collected the resources that had been dispersed during the period of change. Coupled with the advancement of technology and the changes in the world structure,

Almost all fighting training resources are monopolized.

Nowadays, if a fighter wants to improve his strength, if he only reaches the third limit, he may be able to rely on his own hard work and hard work, but if he wants to take a step further and not rely on certain forces, it is almost impossible."

After Chen Chuan heard this, he asked for advice: "Then if I am determined to continue to move forward, I wonder if the seniors have any suitable suggestions?"

Cao Guiqi said: "I don't comment on the two paths of government and company. With your current position, you will know it sooner or later. But if I were to make suggestions, I think you might try to join a certain school."

"Is it a school?" Chen Chuan's mind changed, and this was consistent with his previous thoughts.

Cao Guiqi said: "When the grand alliance was established, not only the company and the government, but also several major factions participated. They have power in the company and the government, and they uphold the same philosophy. Legally speaking, they are also major sects.

They are a member of the alliance, so the resources they provide to the company and the government are recognized and have to be recognized."

He stretched out his hand, and Uncle Ding immediately came up and handed something into his hand. He handed it to Chen Chuan, "If you really can't find a way, you can use this brand to try to find the 'Jingxiu Sect'.

But if you have a choice, you'd better not go to them, and this thing is just a stepping stone, there is no guarantee that you will be able to join them, and even if you join, don't believe too much in their words, as long as you can get what you need from them.

good."

Chen Chuan took it and took a look. It was an exquisite wooden sign with a red tail. It was very heavy to hold. There was no writing on it, but when he touched it with his hand, he could feel a lot of writing on it. He didn't see it now.

Go and take a closer look, and just say seriously: "Thank you, senior."

Cao Guiqi solemnly reminded: "If you can't get what you want from them, or you can't get in, then you'd rather go to the government than go to the company."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Cao Guiqi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with emotion: "After the Ring of the World was sealed, the purity did not actually decrease, but the way to obtain it became narrower, which blocked too many people."

Uncle Ding suddenly said: "Master, have you forgotten the secret? Maybe you can try it there."

Cao Guiqi pondered for a moment and nodded. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "As for the secret treasure, junior fellow student, you can try to find out more about it."

He paused and then said: "The old imperial family searched the world and collected many resources that they could not use up. Most of them were sealed in the inner treasury. Later, when they retreated to the blending place, they took some of them with them.

However, there is more than one internal treasury, and there are secret treasuries in various places and even overseas. This is the escape route left by the imperial family for itself.

In fact, not only the imperial family, but also vassals from various places and even old dynasties abroad have similar secret treasury. Even previous dynasties have done the same thing.

Therefore, there have been rumors that secret vaults have been unearthed in various countries around the world and in Dashun for decades.

In the old days, the court and private organizations have been looking for these things. Now, the government and companies are encouraged to explore and find these things. If they can find and turn them over, the searchers can legally obtain part of them.

"

Chen Chuan thought thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard similar rumors."

Cao Guiqi said: "Legends of secret treasures can be found everywhere. In fact, they are an extension of secret treasures. Every year, some forces and groups, as well as some cult organizations, keep an eye on these places. Once there is definite news, the government and companies will also

People will be sent to look for it.

If you have the opportunity to encounter those places, you can go and take a look, but there are many people watching such places, and there may be precautions left over from the old times, so you should try to be careful if you have the chance."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Next, they stopped talking about this, and instead went boating on the lake, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. When it was approaching evening, the boat returned to the manor, and Chen Chuan also said goodbye and left.

After Uncle Ding sent Chen away, he came back and said, "I thought the young master would tell Director Chen about the secret."

Cao Guiqi shook his head and said: "I don't know the exact location of that place, and the things inside are extremely dangerous. Besides, that kind of thing is very likely to be inside. The implications are too great. The company and the government are watching, even if it is said

If you come out, you will only harm others."

Uncle Ding said: "I heard that man has been looking for this place all these years."

Cao Guiqi said: "Then let him look for it. What will happen even if he finds it? The old buildings have long been in ruins and can no longer be pieced together. Even if they are barely piled up, it will be a pile of rubble."

Just push it and it will fall."

He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sunset floating in the distance, "Uncle Ding, you have also seen it. After the rift opened, General Zhenguo and his cavalry from the old dynasty appeared, but they were blocked by one person. Except for

This has done nothing, times have changed a long time ago, and what should be given up should be given up."

After Chen Chuan came back from Cao's Manor, he contacted Wei Dong and Wu Han and planned to invite them out for a meal. After Chao Ming woke up in two days and finished some remaining trivial matters,

He will return to Yangzhi.

When Wu Han heard that he was inviting him to dinner, he introduced a restaurant that he often went to, saying that it was lively and the owner was from Yangzhi and the food he cooked was absolutely delicious.

Chen Chuan heard what he said and decided.

On the second day, he drove to the restaurant by himself without letting the special car or security personnel follow him. When he parked the car, he took a glance at it.

Then a dense mass of information suddenly appeared on the screen.

Since contacting Andun, all kinds of advertising messages, as well as advertisements pushed by large companies such as Qingnang Yufang, have been directly blocked, and whoever you look at will get the specific information of that person.

Immediately come to mind, including whether he has a criminal record and whether he is wanted.

After entering this street, at least one-third had this record, and it was shown that most of them were from the same gang.

But this was the norm in Central City, so he didn't bother to pay attention. He walked into the restaurant, opened the door, turned his eyes, and saw Wu Han and Wei Dong had already arrived, and they were sitting next to the window.

I was sitting there chatting, and when I saw him coming, I waved at him.

Chen Chuan looked at the two of them. Wei Dong was fine. He was in Wuyi College and could still be seen every now and then.

He hadn't seen Wu Han for a few months, but he just kept in touch through contact. He looked a little different now than before. His skin was darker, and he had some beard under his chin. He seemed to be more mature. He

Walking up, the two people said hello and sat down.
