If it wasn’t for trying to survive, who would choose to be a retainer?
To put it bluntly, retainers were hired thugs!
They were also used for charging forward.
Charging forward into danger!
Even when there wasn’t anything, they had to listen to others’ orders…
For example, this time.
At this moment, Winton was numb.
He was at the peak of Rank one.
In the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom, in terms of cultivation realm, he was not weak.
But…
There were too many resources needed for cultivation!
Just a soul crystal alone could crush many people.
As everyone knew,
It was the same for the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom and even other countries… The mineral veins were in the hands of those large families.
It was said that in the past, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom was not like this.
In the beginning, the mineral veins might still be in the hands of some rangers and itinerant cultivators.
Everyone mined together.
Everyone got along happily.
However, later on, for various reasons, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom kept conferring noble titles. As a result, there were more than a hundred marquises alone today, as well as countless earls, viscounts, barons, and so on.
These noble titles were all bestowed with land.
They occupied nearly 60% of the land resources of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
The remaining 4.0% had been mostly gathered by these noble families after several generations of human development.
In such a huge Dragon Spirit Kingdom, there was almost no inch of land that did not belong to anyone…
Mineral veins were naturally included.
At this time, who could still be quiet and lead a peaceful life? Who could be a ranger or itinerant cultivator?
You wouldn’t have the resources!
Therefore, the scattered cultivators everywhere could only join those large families.
It was all for survival and to become stronger.
It was conceivable that after these large families had many freelance cultivators and rangers join them, the treatment they received would decrease again and again. In this day and age, being retainers would also be affected.
For example, this time.
Could Winton refuse to enter this Secret Realm?
He couldn’t!
If you didn’t obey, then get lost!
At that time, he would no longer receive the soul crystals he needed for cultivation every month.
He would have to buy them from the big families!
He had to exchange something for it!
Otherwise, he would have to stop cultivating and wait for death to descend.
There was a limit to human lifespan.
Before reaching First Rank, every ten levels increased one’s lifespan by ten years.
In theory, a person at the peak of First Rank could live to 270 years old.
What about Winton?
He was 260 years old this year.
In another ten years, if he did not break through, he would definitely die!
Therefore, he couldn’t refuse to come.
He had to come!
But brothers, who would understand?
Initially, this Secret Realm could only be entered by middle-stage First Rank cultivators. In the end, the upper limit was forcefully raised to the peak of First Rank. However, after entering… there was actually a demon with Second Rank strength inside!
It seemed that the demon’s level and soul cultivation had reached the peak.
Peak of Rank Two!
Peak God Apostle!
How could there be such a high-level demonic creature in a Secret Realm at the peak of the First Rank?
It was really ridiculous!
The current Winton could only obediently listen to the Sword Demon.
He arrived in front of the stone statue.
Then, his eyes met the stone statue’s.
In the end, the stone statue actually appeared in his soul sea…
“Soul attack?”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Winton was shocked.
This was… an ancient sword technique!
What era was it now!
Who would understand ancient sword techniques!
Damn!
He couldn’t fight at all.
He could not fight at all!
He did not even hear the words ‘First Sword Technique, Birth of Ten Thousand Qi.’
Winton just stood in front of the stone statue in a daze.
Swoosh!
The Sword Heart Demon stretched out its huge, lumpy hand and slashed through the air.
Winton died peacefully.
At the very least, he died unconsciously.
“Trash, trash!”
Sword Heart Demon cursed angrily, “Why, why can that person light up all the stone statues, but you can’t even pass the first stone statue? Looks like… Looks like I have to kill him myself!”
The enraged Sword Heart Demon began to search around the Sword Tomb.
At this moment, Lin Chen, who was hiding with the Sword Silk, thought to himself, this was bad…
Originally, he had thought the two people who had just entered could stall the Sword Heart Demon for a while.
Who knew…
They really were trash!
Lin Chen cursed in his heart.
Suddenly, two souls sneaked over.
This was really…
He couldn’t resist!
Two peak First Rank souls!
Should he eat them or not?
Then he would definitely have to eat them. They were very nutritious!
He could obtain at least 200,000 EXP.
However, if he moved, he would definitely be exposed.
“Master… It seems that it’s searched everywhere but our current location. It’s coming!” Sword Silk said in a low voice.
What?
Lin Chen frowned.
From his angle, he could not see the Sword Heart Demon.
At this moment, the Sword Heart Demon had also suppressed his perception range.
Then, how did Sword Silk, who was protected by Lin Chen in the depths of this dark corner, know?
“You… can sense it?” Lin Chen asked.
“Yes, my strength is with it! I’m sorry, Master. I’m a burden, but… the Sword Heart is on its body.” Sword Silk said, “If the Sword Heart wants my strength, 1 can’t not give my power to it.”
Sword Heart!
Lin Chen’s thoughts began to move.
The Sword Heart Demon was very strong.
Incredibly strong.
At this moment, should he escape or fight?
Because the Sword Heart was also very attractive!
Think about it…
This thing could also absorb all of Sword Silk’s power.
If he grew stronger in the future and Sword Silk also grew stronger… wouldn’t he be invincible at any time in the future?
Because with the Sword Heart, he could double his attributes at any time…
That was too awesome!
To be honest, Lin Chen really wanted to try fighting it.
But…
How could he fight it?’
The Sword Heart Demon was at the peak of Rank Two..
