C710 Sky Connecting Tower
The county governor said slowly, "Sir, you might be sincere, but the imperial court might not believe you."
Su Ming sneered and said, "I don't care whether the imperial court of South Huai believes you or not."
Situ Zhong, who was standing by the side, had an impatient personality. When he saw Su Ming say this, he said even more anxiously, "Mr. Su, I don't understand. What is wrong with our South Huai Nation? Mr. Su just doesn't agree to join our South Huai Nation to hold a joint election!"
When the county governor heard Situ Zhong's words, his eyes also started to furrow in doubt.
As the saying goes, the entire world is ruled by the king. This time, he had given Su Ming enough face, but the other party didn't let go of the matter of joining South Huai Country.
He didn't believe that someone as skilled as Su Ming would be willing to be ordinary for the rest of his life, but Su Ming had confidently said that he wouldn't join any family.
This was too abnormal.
Compared to Su Ming who had seen through fame and fortune, the county governor was more willing to believe it. He had an addiction that could not be described with words.
However, since Su Ming was unwilling to say it, the county governor could not directly ask.
After pondering for a long time, the county governor finally spoke. "How about this, Mr. Su? If Sir is willing to join our South Huai State Imperial Court, I will try my best to fight for a spot in this year's Skysplit Tower smelting trial for Sir in front of His Majesty."
What!?
When these words came out, situ Zhong, who was beside the county governor, instantly lost his composure. It was as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Situ Zhong could be seen. He said with a look of shock, "County Governor... Sir, I see. ……”
Before he could finish his sentence, the county governor waved his hand and interrupted Situ Zhong's words. The way he looked at Su Ming gradually revealed a look of affirmation.
County Head Shou said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Su Ming did not answer.
This was not a direct rejection of the county governor. It was because Su Ming did not understand what the Skysplit Tower smelting trial that the county governor spoke of was!
But according to Situ Zhong's current performance, this was undoubtedly an extraordinary bargaining chip.
Su Ming slowly asked, "What is this Skysplit Tower smelting trial? It can be said to be more detailed."
When he said this, the county governor and Situ Zhong were stunned.
The county governor said in astonishment, "Sir, you don't know about the Skysplit Tower smelting trial?"
Su Ming slowly shook his head.
The county governor looked at Situ Zhong in disbelief.
Situ Zhong then slowly explained, "Sir, are you aware of the Little Spirit Mountain in the north?"
Su Ming still shook his head.
The county governor and Situ Zhong were shocked.
It was the county governor who calmed himself down first. He slowly explained, "Sir, it looks like you know nothing about this. Alright, I'll explain it to you. "
"To put it simply, there is a special region in the north of our Huai Nan Kingdom called Small Spiritual Mountain. There is a nine-story pagoda on the mountain called the Supreme Tower. There is an immortal from the Upper Realm guarding the Supreme Tower every five years..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Su Ming. This time, it was Su Ming's turn to be shocked.
"Immortal!!" Su Ming's expression changed dramatically. "You said that there are Immortals on the Supreme Tower? Is it a legend or...? ……”
The county governor said slowly, "It's not a legend. This immortal really exists. Not only our South Huai Nation, but other countries also have similar existences. This is not a secret in each country. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Wang Hu."
Su Ming was shocked and turned his head to look at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu said slowly, "It's true. Everyone in our South Huai Country knows that there is a Divine Immortal in the north. When my father was fighting in the north, he had seen the abilities of that Immortal with his own eyes. When he attacked, lightning flashed and thunder roared. He could call the wind and summon the rain!"
At this moment, Su Ming's eyes gradually blurred.
An Immortal!
Others might think that it was just a joke, but it was like a bolt from the blue to Su Ming.
One should know that he was just a cultivator!
He knew very well that this was the world evolved from the cauldron.
Unexpectedly, the world inside the cauldron had also produced cultivators!
If this was true, then did he know that this was the world inside the cauldron!? Or is it to say that he is the same as me, from the real world!!
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, are you alright?"
Situ Zhong shouted, and Su Ming, who was deep in thought, was once again called back to reality.
Everyone noticed that there was something wrong with Su Ming's expression.
Su Ming restrained his expression and said slowly, "It's fine. Lord County Governor, please continue."
County Governor Shoudao said, "Every five years, the immortals on the Supreme Tower will conduct a selection for the people of South Huai Nation. Those who succeed in the selection can follow the immortals to the Upper Realm and obtain a great opportunity to become an immortal. The number of people who can enter the selection is also quite limited. And as the royal family of South Huai Nation, they naturally have the qualifications to recommend. "
After listening to this, Su Ming fell into deep thought.
Based on the county governor's words, he had a rough understanding of the situation!
In order to increase their strength, mortals would form gangs, form tribes, or even a country. It was the same for cultivators!
No matter what, the five-year Skysplit Tower trial mentioned by the county governor was clearly to select disciples from the immortal sects that followed!
Similarly, the Upper Realm mentioned by the county governor definitely had immortal sects. Moreover, there should be quite a number of them!
Perhaps this was a rare opportunity for ordinary people, but it wasn't a good thing for Su Ming.
He was already a cultivator. There were other cultivators in this world, which would bring him no benefits.
Su Ming couldn't help but think of the lost inheritance light.
He couldn't let that thing fall into the hands of these people!
When he thought of this, Su Ming slowly said, "Since the county governor is so sincere, if this Su continues to reject, it would appear that he is putting on an act. Alright, this Su agrees to this matter."
Upon hearing this, the county governor and Situ Zhong were overjoyed.
"Hahahaha, good." The county governor raised his wine glass and said, "Then everyone will be colleagues from now on. Come, Mr. Su, let's toast together!"
Following that, the wine glasses slowly collided, producing a crisp sound!
Deep in the night.
Within the county government office.
This feast didn't last for long. Su Ming didn't really like this kind of occasion. At this time, his heart was filled with other matters. After a while, he left with Wang Hu and the others.
While I was cleaning up the mess, the county governor and Situ Zhong did not return to their rooms to rest. Instead, they walked into the backyard at the same time.
After a long silence, the county governor slowly said, "Mister Situ, do you think there will be anyone who doesn't know of the existence of Skysplit Tower?"
Situ Zhong said with a solemn expression, "Yes, but an expert like him definitely won't!"
County Head Shou said, "But his performance just now clearly showed that he knows nothing about the matters within Skysplit Tower. Not only that, but I have a vague feeling that he probably knows nothing about the matters of the entire South Huai Nation!"
Situ Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, this person is really too strange."
"Alright." The county governor waved his hand and said, "No matter what, at least he has agreed to join South Huai Nation now. These matters will not be of much use."
