0On the eve of Star God Pagoda, Jiu Muli cleared away all distracting thoughts and completely immersed himself in cultivation.    

    

Time flowed by, and soon the sky turned dark. The sun and moon revolved around each other, and it was already morning.    

    

This day was destined to be extraordinary, because today was the day that all cultivators in Qin Kingdom looked forward to once every ten years when the Star God Pagoda would open.    

    

The location of the Star God Pagoda was near to the Imperial Palace in a huge plaza. On the plaza, there were hundreds of Star God Pagoda s standing.    

    

"Time is up." Qin Zheng's voice sounded beside Jiu Muli's ears.    

    

Jiu Muli slowly opened his eyes and nodded: "Kaiser has already given me the order badge. When Star God Pagoda opens, I can enter with the order badge."    

    

Looking at the order badge in his hand, which had the words "Star God Pagoda" carved on it, and turning it over, he found that it was Qin Zheng's calligraphy that was written by Long Feifeng.    

    

"Nameless."    

    

"Actually, even if you come in the name of Jiu Muli, so what? With me here, the three great sect s wouldn't dare to be too excessive." Qin Zheng still felt that Jiu Muli was wronged.    

    

Jiu Muli smiled, "Isn't it better to be the rich one? Once I enter the Star God Pagoda, they will have no other choice. "    

    

Qin Zheng saw and did not say much, he only looked at her and said indifferently: "Be careful."    

    

"Got it." Jiu Muli nodded while smiling, then put on his veil and left the Imperial Palace alone.    

    

By the time she arrived at the square, there were already more than ten thousand people gathered in a circle. Laughter could be heard from time to time.    

    

When they saw Jiu Muli's arrival, most people only took a glance before continuing their previous conversation.    

    

"Why hasn't it started yet? I can't wait."    

    

"That's right, why haven't the three great sects appeared yet?"    

    

Standing at the edge of the crowd, Jiu Muli was not anxious at all, as he continuously heard the cultivators' discussions.    

    

"Every time, the top ten spots of the Star God Pagoda would be taken by people from the three great sects. We of the Qin Kingdom simply have no chance to resist at all."    

    

"I'm afraid it's no exception this time!" If Miss Jiu Muli were to participate, our Qin Kingdom may have a chance to get out of the bottom rankings. But the Three Great Sects are too shameless, they would actually not allow our Ninth Miss to participate! "    

    

"That's right, he's really too shameless!"    

    

Jiu Muli was bored from listening, but at this time, an old granny appeared in front of her. Seeing Jiu Muli's confusion, the old granny immediately smiled.    

    

This old lady was dressed in plain clothes, and her face was covered with wrinkles. With a smile, her entire face transformed into a brilliant chrysanthemum.    

    

"Little girl, my surname is Mo, you can call me Grandma Mo." Grandma Mo smiled very kindly, "This little miss must be here to participate in this Star God Pagoda. This is the first time I see this little miss here! I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to talk to you, and also casually tell you the problems that the Star God Pagoda needs to pay attention to, I have no malicious intent. "    

    

Jiu Muli nodded slightly.    

    

"Little miss, after the Star God Pagoda is opened, you need to rely on your order badge to enter, so you must not throw this away!"    

    

Jiu Muli frowned slightly. Does everyone know about this?    

    

Grandma Mo blinked and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Little girl, this old woman spoke frankly. Everything she does is the truth. In my opinion, you … Since they weren't cultivators from the three great sects, they must also … If that's the case, you want to enter the top 50, but everyone … It's a bit difficult! "    

    

"However, don't be discouraged little girl, I can help you!" Grandma Mo spoke softly, then took out a tattered book from her bosom, "Speaking of which, you and I can be considered to be fated to meet me amidst the sea of people. Little girl, you are also blessed. Don't look at my book because it is not good-looking, it is a peerless treasure. Inside, all the information about the first fifty floors of Star God Pagoda was recorded! I can sell it all to you, and that way, entering the top ten won't be a problem, as long as Murong Tianxu doesn't come this time, you might even be able to get first place! "    

    

Jiu Muli was stunned, looking at the old granny whose saliva was flying everywhere, he was unable to say anything for a long time.    

    

"What, this little girl's ambition is truly number one!" "This is a treasure from my clan, and it records the situation of the first ninety floors of Star God Pagoda. With this book, even Murong Tianxu will lose to you!"    

    

"Little girl, you are still too young, and don't know how important this Star God Pagoda is. As the proverbs say, you should rather believe it than not. Moreover, this old woman only had this one share. Once it was sold to you, no one would be able to compete with you for first place! "How about this, seeing how cute this little miss is, I'll give you a preferential price. Originally, I wanted to sell it for thirty thousand spirit stone, so I sold it …" Grandma Mo tried her best to persuade him, but when it came to the price, she was still weighing the pros and cons.    

    

"I'll sell it to you for thirty spirit stone. This is the price of spitting blood, little miss must remember this old lady's name after getting first place, I will also support you silently!"    

    

Jiu Muli was a little speechless, how could there be people selling things in the ancient times?    

    

Taking a few steps back, she originally wanted to turn around and leave, but that Old Lady Mo stuck to her like a fly.    

    

Back then, there was also a little girl who was your age. I came from a poor and poor background, and because of buying my secret scripture, I entered the top twenty, and finally became a direct disciple of the three great sect s! Alright, I'll tell you later. There was an ugly girl that entered the top thirty last time's competition precisely because she bought my treasure! " "However, what I sold to them were only incomplete copies, and the two books I have were genuine books. If you miss them, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"    

    

Jiu Muli frowned, if it wasn't for the fact that she was an elder, she would have pushed her away long ago.    

    

"Young lady, it's true, this old lady sees you as so cute, it's almost exactly the same as my granddaughter, that's why I'm reluctant to sell it to you. If it's someone else, I won't even buy a hundred thousand spirit stone! How about this … [The little girl doesn't seem to be from a good family. Let me make it a bit cheaper. Twenty …] No, fifteen... Forget it, let's just choose the ten spirit stone s. This is the lowest price, little miss, don't be too stingy, if you are too stingy you won't get married! " Old Lady Mo patiently and patiently guided him, as the saliva in her mouth splashed all over Jiu Muli's face.    

    

Jiu Muli was about to go berserk, the old granny's spirit was more precious, it was to be able to persevere, to win!    

    

As time passed, the number of people in the plaza increased. After all, such a grand assembly was held only once every ten years.    

    

Taking advantage of the crowd, Jiu Muli immediately squeezed into the crowd, ignoring the old granny's shouts from behind. As she was small and soon lost in the crowd, the old woman looked around and saw no sign of her.    

    

"Princess Xingyu has arrived!"    

    

As the eunuch sang, under the faint sunlight, a young girl wearing a purple phoenix striped palace dress appeared in front of everyone.    

    

The young girl had a haughty expression as she walked straight towards the gorgeous pavilion and sat in the center.    

    

"Look, that's the Princess Xingyu! This is the most talented daughter of the Imperial Family, a true daughter of heaven. "    

    

"She was born of a noble family, and is also beautiful. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry the princess."    

    

Beside Jiu Muli, many girls were discussing softly, most of them looking envious and amazed.    

    

"If only I could be friends with the princess, how awe-inspiring would that be!"    

    

"Hehe …" I think you're not the only one with that thought, you've seen many noble women approaching the pavilion, wanting to talk to the Princess Xingyu, why don't we try it too! " A lady with a pretty face looked at Jiu Muli, and smiled at her, "Elder sister, you should come with us. Even if you cannot befriend the princess, talking with the noble ladies by her side will be an honor."    

    

Jiu Muli smiled, and said politely, "No need, you guys can go."    

    

The other girl looked at Jiu Muli in disdain, and ridiculed him, "Tsk, what are you pretending for? I think it's because I'm afraid that my identity is not enough, if I go over, I will only be humiliated."    

    

"Don't talk nonsense." The pretty girl frowned, then looked at Jiu Muli apologetically: "Don't mind it, since the Star God Pagoda is not open yet, you should come with us to take a look."    

    

Under the words of the pretty girl, the surrounding people were all moved. Seeing that Jiu Muli still did not answer, the pretty girl passionately held her hand, and walked with everyone towards the pavilion.    

    

"Princess, I am the daughter of the Public Office's Assistant Minister. It is my honor to be able to see you today!"    

    

"Princess, my father is the Marquis of Peace …"    

    

"Princess, my father is the mighty general …"    

    

All around them were the flattering voices of various young girls, their postures suppressed.    

    

"Interesting!" Princess Xingyu smiled, but she seemed very harsh. She was already driven mad by Jiu Muli to begin with, but now she finally recovered a little bit of confidence with great difficulty.    

    

Everyone laughed along. Suddenly, the entire square was filled with laughter.    

    

At this moment, the laughter suddenly stopped because everyone saw a white-clothed, fairy-like girl walk over. The girl's hair was adorned with a little bit of ornament, reflecting a bright luster under the sunlight.    

    

Jiu Tianxue came.    

    

Her steps were gentle and light, and her every move was filled with immortal energy.    

    

No one looked, but with a haughty expression, he walked to the position of the Hundred Flowers Palace and sat beside Bai Huaxian.    

    

Suddenly, someone grabbed Jiu Muli's arm with force, and shook it excitedly.    

    

Jiu Muli felt some pain, "What are you doing?    

    

The young girl holding her hand turned a deaf ear as she excitedly looked at the crowd in front of her.    

    

"Murong Tianxu! It's really Murong Tianxu! "    

    

"Look, Murong Tianxu is the holy maiden of the Taiqing Gate, the publicly acknowledged number one young cultivator of the three big sects!"    

    

"Furthermore, this year is Murong Tianxu's second and last time participating in the Star God Pagoda. The Star God Pagoda has a rule that no one is allowed to surpass the Starer Stage in terms of cultivation!"    

    

"Yeah, for the sake of participating in the Great Games, she hasn't even been promoted in the past ten years!"    

    

Jiu Muli looked ahead, a little absent-minded.
