Each of the four major aristocratic families has its own method of selecting a new generation of successors.

The Nangong family uses the account of "merit and virtue".

All the younger members of the family will be sent to small and large towns within the family's sphere of influence when they reach adulthood to see how much "merits" they can accumulate in just a few years.

As for what exactly this "merit" includes, there are countless.

First of all, the largest proportion is personal cultivation, which is also called first-class merit. However, young people who only practice crazy and have no knowledge of worldly affairs have their own special treatment. It is impossible to take charge of the entire family.

Later, things that expanded the interests of the family were all turned into second-class merits, or even third-class merits.

Nangong Bin's pamphlet with half of the people's names written in them were all second-class merits. He would disdain low-ranking candidates like third-class merits.

Finally, among the three kinds of merit, there is one special merit.

Most of these special merits are those who have made great sacrifices for the family, or donated some kind of rare treasure that ranks among the top fifty treasures of heaven and earth, and can be included among them.

The so-called major sacrifices usually involve human lives. Even if Nangong Bin wants to pursue this kind of merit, he is unmarried and has no heirs, and his father is now the head of Nangong. Unless he cuts off his hands and feet, he will not be able to survive.

During my training period, I had no chance to do this.

Naturally, he would not choose such a stupid thing as amputating his hands and feet. Just think about it and you will know that the Nangong family has no one, so why would a disabled person be chosen to take charge of such a huge family?

As for the top fifty rare treasures among the treasures of heaven and earth, maybe he can get one or two with his father's skills. As a junior, he is hard to come by.

Moreover, the Nangong family is extremely strict in managing the younger generation during this stage of training. Even if his father, the head of the family, is secretly helping him, once the elders find out, they can immediately remove the head of the family and choose someone else.

This is a lesson left by our ancestors and cannot be changed.

Nangong Bin does not have Dongfang Mo's talent for photographic memory. Until now, he has never obtained a rare treasure.

Putting aside these, only the third kind of special merit remains.

This third way of obtaining high-quality merit is closely related to evil demon cultivation. Because it involves the largest spiritual alliance in the world, the Lingwu Alliance.

The reason why the six major sects established this spiritual alliance was simply to fight against those evil cultivators who used evil means to advance.

It has been passed down for thousands of years, and after countless large and small battles between the two parties, a balanced situation has gradually been maintained between the Lingwu Alliance and the three evil religions.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, there are still many important people who are being taken hostage in both camps.

For example, in the previous generation of the Nangong family, there was a third master who hated evil and was captured alive when he entered the territory of the three evil sects alone. However, he did not die and is still imprisoned in the devil's prison to this day.

If they want to replace him, the Nangong family must exchange it with someone of equal weight or someone named by the other party.

Of course, if you have the ability to directly enter the devil's prison and rescue people, you can do it, but the devil's prison of each devil's sect is located below the main altar. With more than a thousand members of the Nangong family, how can he and the tens of thousands of devil's sect disciples

Hard fight?

As for the Lingwu Alliance, they did not dare to act rashly. Just as those small evil sects and retail side sects were occasionally wiped out by spiritual cultivators, the three major sects did not intervene. Once the two largest forces were surrendered to the muddy water, it caused

It's a new round of war between spirits and monsters.

At that time, the entire spiritual world will be severely damaged.

As a result, this method of exchanging hostages has been popular for hundreds of years.

Nangong Bin naturally understood the reason. He had previously heard from the four servants who had been buried under the soil that the girl had a strange tattoo on her back. Now he saw the gestures made by the rough man. The two were the same.

Combined, the guess is that they are inseparable.

If you're lucky, this girl can be exchanged for the third grandfather's freedom. Nangong Bin has done what the entire family has been trying to do for decades, so how can it not be regarded as a special merit?

Mr. Nangong smiled slightly, waved to the rugged man and said, "Go back and continue working on the mountain. I have my own ideas for these two."

"Yes." The rugged man lowered his head, clasped his fists, and silently left the wilderness.

Nangong Bin looked at his back through the mask, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. After working silently for so long, God finally gave him two opportunities.

No matter which of these two things is successful, his position as head of the family will be firmly secured.

...

After looking at Miss Su, who was breathing very evenly, Zhan Feihong walked far away on tiptoe.

The two of them walked on a wild road for a day, and finally came to an unknown mountain top, planning to spend the night.

Sleeping in the mountains, the young man can be regarded as a semi-expert. Relying on luck, he quickly found a cave where he could stay and cooked dinner for the owner of the cave.

After a feast, Su Chuanfang fell asleep in a daze. But Zhan Feihong's mind was filled with cultivation matters, and he was afraid of waking up the girl, so he had to quietly leave and come to an open place.

He took out his five-star Gold-eating Ant from his pocket, held it in his hand and stared at it quietly for a while, but there was still no sign of advancement. At first, he didn't care, but after the commotion of Uncle Wasp and Blood Demon Sirius, he showed

Feihong couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"After the Seven Stars, is it the Crescent Moon?" He is currently most concerned about the spirit beast transformation talisman and the trick of turning the evil beast into reality. From his knowledge, if he has this skill, his spiritual martial arts combat skills can at least be as good as

More than double the power.

By then, his signature combat skill Qianjun Fist will be worthy of its name.

Besides, the boy has three natal beasts. If they all advance to the Crescent Moon Realm, what will happen to him?

Although the created ferocious beast has become a reality, and the Earth Fairy Rat, ranked fifth in the Hundred Spirits Spectrum, has greater potential, what Zhan Feihong is most looking forward to is the five stars after being transformed into a talisman.

After all, it is the signature of the Zhan family. Only when the enemy is defeated with Qianjun Fist, the young man will have a sense of accomplishment.

Sighing slightly, Zhan Feihong put the five stars back into his pocket. He looked at the stars in the sky, and the two-color spiritual energy ripples faintly swayed from his shoulders.

The ten lines of spiritual movement are perfect, which means that he has met the requirements for promotion to the spiritual stage.

But how should we take this last step?

The young man fell into deep thought.

I remember that when I was promoted from Ling Meng to Ling Ming, it all relied on the spiritual pressure of the Five Stars and Creation to demonstrate each other. But in Zhan Feihong's impression of how he broke through the realm in one fell swoop, he could only remember the word "pain".
