After leaving the third elder's residence, Cheng Yu was ready to hand over the things he had purchased on his behalf to others. He could also take the opportunity to inquire about the situation with his people.

In addition to some acquaintances, Tianyuan also bought some things for some unknown people.

In fact, in the Inner Dynasty, this kind of purchasing agency has become an industry.

If anyone wants to buy something, go to the tavern on Center Street and post a task to find out what kind of items you need to buy.

Then, if anyone needs to leave the country to perform tasks, they will help these people in need buy some items.

However, if you just receive an ordinary appointment and leave the inner court, you will basically not have to wait for a long time. Therefore, there are so many people in the tavern who want to buy items, and they cannot help them all.

They will make an estimate based on the time they spend out and whether the items they buy are good or not.

But this time, Tianyuan knew that he would only have a short time to go out, so after helping a few acquaintances to buy some things on his behalf, he didn't have much time, so he just took on two very simple purchasing tasks.

But it was precisely because of these purchasing tasks that Cheng Yu had the opportunity to succeed and caught him.

As for the belongings of those acquaintances, there is no need to deliver them in the tavern. They all belong to the Third Elder's Mansion, so they will find them by themselves when the time comes.

But for the few purchasing tasks Tianyuan accepted for strangers, he had to hand over the task items to the tavern. He could just take the purchasing fee directly from the tavern, and then the tavern would hand over these items to those people.

.

Although there is basically only one shop on Center Street, there are many shops like pubs.

After all, many people will go to places like this when they have nothing to do, because it is lively enough, and it can add some fun to the boring interior life.

Cheng Yu knew that his convulsion-like tribulation period would not be visible unless he was a true peak master like his master.

Even the third elder didn't notice any problems at all.

So Cheng Yu walked around Central Street with a pastoral look.

To be honest, in Cheng Yu's opinion, this central street is weak compared to the main streets of any city in his Cheng family.

Although it seems to have everything, the selection is too small.

Especially since no strangers have arrived here, the business atmosphere is relatively lifeless, and naturally there is nothing novel.

The daily floating population in any city of the Cheng family is extremely large. Many monks will go to various cities of the Cheng family when they get good things during their training.

Because there is a large population, a large spending power, and many wealthy people.

Whether you set up a stall on the street or leave your precious items to an auction house, you can sell them at a very high price.

A good market environment will naturally attract more people to do business in various cities of the Cheng family.

But look here again, people coming and going are all inwardly facing themselves.

And only a few of these people who go out to perform tasks and come back may have some new resources to trade, otherwise most of them are just consumers.

In addition, all the shops here are controlled by the major elders, and even the resources used for trading are extremely limited.

Therefore, Cheng Yu casually strolled on the street and his interest waned. He was no longer in the mood to continue shopping, and went directly to the tavern where Tianyuan received the purchase order.

The name of the tavern is Dream Tavern. According to Tianyuan, this tavern is the property of the Third Elder's Mansion.

On this central street, every elder's mansion has a tavern.

As soon as we entered the tavern, it was indeed much livelier than on the street. Someone was making a drinking order, and everyone was cheering along, which was particularly joyful.

"Tian Yuan! This way, this way!" As soon as Cheng Yu entered the tavern, he was spotted by an acquaintance, Jiang Cheng, who immediately waved to him.

There is no need for acquaintances to send tasks through the tavern, because you can just pay some benefits yourself, and there is no need to pay part of the fee to the tavern, so it is naturally much cheaper.

Therefore, when many people know that their acquaintances are going out, they go directly to the acquaintances without going through the pub.

"Why did you come back so soon this time? Have you bought everything?" Cheng Yu walked over and before he could speak, the other party spoke first.

"Can I not take what I promised you? Here!" With Tian Yuan's cooperation, Cheng Yu directly handed over the things Jiang Cheng bought on his behalf, and then sat down minding his own business.

"Thank you, this is your reward!" The other party was also very cheerful and took out a bag of spiritual stones and threw it over.

In fact, we were all old acquaintances, and they were all helping each other. Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention to the reward in the bag and just collected it.

The other people sitting together also asked Tianyuan to bring things, so Cheng Yu took out the things of several people respectively and paid them for the convenience.

Cheng Yu also put it away without even looking at it, which made a few people even happier.

"Come on, come on! Let's have a drink!" Several people invited Cheng Yu to raise their glasses.

"With these things brought back by Tianyuan, my strength will definitely increase greatly this time. I will definitely win this year's competition!" Jiang Cheng said very happily.

Although everyone in Inner Dynasty seems to be bored and the people here are very lazy, this is not actually the case.

These people are not so indulgent every day.

Because a competition is held here every year, and if you perform well, you will receive a large number of rewards from several elders' mansions.

But if you rank among the last 10,000 in the entire inner dynasty for three consecutive years, you will be severely punished.

Therefore, these people only come out to indulge occasionally. For example, Jiang Cheng and the others need to improve their strength, but they currently lack the resources they need.

Therefore, they can easily spend a few days waiting for resources.

Now that I have obtained the resources, I will work hard to practice again after today.

Let’s not talk about whether everyone wants to get the huge reward given by the Elder’s Mansion, but no one wants to be punished.

But 10,000 people is really not a small number. Even if there are so many people in the inner dynasty, 10,000 people seems to be nothing.

But for those who are already ranked at the bottom 10,000, they must be practicing with all their might.

Just like the last one, if he wants not to be punished, he has to work harder than anyone else.

Because he is the worst one now, but in a year he will have to exceed 10,000 people.

You must know that while you are working hard, others are also working hard. Not to mention that their talent and strength are higher than yours. Under such circumstances, if you want to reach 10,011 and escape the penalty range, you have to work harder.

How about that?

Therefore, this is also the reason why the inner court looks so deserted except for the guards patrolling everywhere.

"Didn't you hear? This year's competition has been cancelled!" But at this time, another person named Yu Jin said.

"Cancelled? When did it happen?" Jiang Cheng was suddenly startled, his face full of confusion.

How come he doesn't know about such a big thing?

"I also heard the third elder occasionally mention that this time the competition will be cancelled, but it has not been announced yet, so you may not have heard of it!" Yu Jin said.

"But why?" Others also asked with puzzled faces.

Their abilities are very good, so from their point of view, they hope that the competition will continue to be held because they will have the opportunity to obtain more high-quality resources.

Of course, if the last ten thousand people heard this news, they would probably laugh out of their dreams.

Although it is said that only those who have been among the last 10,000 for three consecutive years will be punished, but those who are really among the 10,000, especially those who are at the bottom of the 10,000, will be punished.

It can be said that even if it takes three years, it will be difficult for them to escape the nightmare of the last 10,000 people.

"Are you sure you heard it right? None of us have heard of this matter. If this is really the case, it stands to reason that the news would have been spread long ago!" Jiang Cheng still felt a little unconvinced.

The Inner Dynasty is inherently closed, and for the people of the Inner Dynasty, the competition is the most important activity.

I have been practicing hard for a year just for this day of the year.

If this competition is cancelled, then they will have no motivation at all.

"Many people already know about this matter. It's just because the Elder's Mansion hasn't announced it yet, and who dares to spread it everywhere. Those who know the inside story can only spread it among a small number of people, just like a few of us.

But I tell you, don’t spread this matter outside, if something happens, the Elder’s Mansion may cause trouble for us!” Yu Jin reminded very seriously.

"Of course we understand this, we are not stupid!" Everyone nodded. It is good for them to know this kind of thing, and of course they will not spread it everywhere.

"But why do you want to cancel the competition? I really can't figure it out!" Jiang Cheng said disappointedly.

"I heard it seems to be related to Tianqiong Peak!" Yu Jin looked around and then said softly.

"It's Tianqiong Peak again? What are they doing? It's been mysterious since last year, and it makes some big noise every month. It's really puzzling." Jiang Cheng said in confusion.

Jiang Cheng said calmly, but Cheng Yu felt moved and at the same time a little confused.

Jiang Cheng said that there has been movement on Tianqiong Peak since last year, but why didn’t Tianyuan know about it?

So I asked Tian Yuan at the Immortal and Demon Tower, and found out that he had been in seclusion for two years, and he had only come out of seclusion half a month ago, so he didn't know about these things.

Cheng Yu knew in his heart that if this was true, it was true. He didn't know that these things had happened in the past year and thought that the past two years would be the same as before.

However, Jiang Cheng's words gave him a lot of useful information, and he even felt a little happy.

From the current point of view, the current situation is still relatively favorable for him.
