Chapter 429 Youngsters
The identities of the remaining five people were different, and they were recruited from various places.
Among them, two people came from the slave market.
Their families were destroyed, so they did not wander in the world of cultivation. Later, they were sold to the slave market in Wugufang City. Zhou Daoxiu and Lin Changxi happened to find them and bought them with their own money.
In fact, according to their wealth, they could not afford two young slaves with spiritual roots. In the end, it should be Wei Hanshan and Zhao Yunzhi who helped.
Zhou Daocheng looked at the two people and found that they were very close to Zhou Daoxiu, almost standing next to Zhou Daoxiu, with sharp eyes and extremely high vigilance.
He suddenly remembered that when he first appeared, the first reaction of these two people was not fear or surprise, but to block Zhou Daoxiu in front of him.
Including in the previous battle, although the two had cooperated with others, all their actions were centered on Zhou Daoxiu.
All kinds of behaviors and attitudes combined, Zhou Daocheng smiled, and two words emerged in his mind: "die-hard?"
He didn't expect that Zhou Daoxiu, who was still young, was surrounded by two die-hards!
Just from their attitudes, it can be seen that they are extremely loyal and completely obey Zhou Daoxiu's orders.
Thinking of their life stories, Zhou Daocheng also had some guesses in his mind. It is likely that Zhou Daoxiu rescued them from the slave market and made them work under his command.
This also surprised Zhou Daocheng that he could have such means and mentality to win over two loyal subordinates for himself, and his general style was undoubtedly revealed.
Zhou Daocheng looked at the two with interest and asked, "What are your names?"
The two young men looked stern, their eyes moved slightly, and looked at Zhou Daoxiu beside them for advice.
Zhou Daoxiu frowned and said, "This man is my sixth brother. He raised me since I was a child, taught me how to practice, and brought me up. You should treat him like you treat me! Whatever he asks, you should answer it. Do you understand?"
After these words came out, the faces of the two young men changed slightly, and their eyes looking at Zhou Daocheng seemed to be a little gentler, but still a little stiff.
Zhou Daocheng could see that the two men must have suffered serious psychological trauma, so they were extremely xenophobic and distrustful of others.
But it was understandable that the family was destroyed when they were young, wandering alone, and finally suffering in the slave market. That experience was definitely not something that ordinary people could endure.
But they endured it until Zhou Daoxiu rescued them, which shows that their will was not ordinary.
After a moment of silence, one of them slowly spoke, "My name is Tieyan."
The other hesitated and said, "My name is Tiezheng."
Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly, but Zhou Daoxiu on the side was a little dissatisfied and added, "Sixth brother, their full names are Zhou Tieyan and Zhou Tiezheng!"
"Oh? Surname Zhou?"
Zhou Daoxiu nodded and said, "They originally had no names, so I named them Zhou directly, which is also considered to be doing things for my Zhou family. I hope Sixth Brother will approve it."
"You can make the decision yourself. After all, this is your man." Zhou Daocheng smiled and didn't say much. Zhou Daoxiu had this ability. He was so happy that he couldn't stop it.
Afterwards, he asked about the two people's situation and had a general understanding of them.
Both of them are four spiritual root cultivators from different families, but their experiences are similar. They were sold to Wugufang City.
The two were of similar age, both 17 years old, and they looked similar, both tall, dark-skinned, and serious. They were mature and fierce, not belonging to their age, and looked quite ferocious.
People who didn't know them would think they were brothers.
As for their strength, they were only at the third level of foundation building, and their foundation was relatively superficial. They relied purely on passion and fierce fighting, and their realm strength was not very strong.
Zhou Daocheng simply checked the bodies of the two, and there were many hidden injuries in their bodies. Although some of them had been repaired, they were not completely repaired.
Obviously, the two should have suffered a lot of torture before, otherwise their physical condition would not be so bad.
Zhou Daocheng couldn't help but sigh. These two were also poor people. They suffered so much hardship at a young age. Now they can be included in the Zhou family and work under Zhou Daoxiu, which may be the best result.
However, if they join the Zhou family in the future and are so loyal to Zhou Daoxiu, Zhou Daocheng will definitely not be stingy with their support for them, whether it is repairing the injuries in their bodies or helping them improve their strength.
Besides, they are still very young, and some of the hidden dangers in their bodies still have a chance to be repaired. If they are vigorously cultivated in the future, they can still make a difference.
In addition to the two, Zhou Daocheng was also surprised by the identities of the other three.
The three are Wang Jihong, Qin Muli, and Shang Yin, from the Wang family, Qin family, and Xiaodan Pavilion respectively.
Wang Jihong, the grandson of Wang Jinhai, the head of the Wang family, is the grandson of the fourth elder of the Wang family.
A few years ago, the Wang family was tragically wiped out by the Fire Dragon Gate, and all his parents and relatives died. He was left alone to flee to Wugufang City with other members of the Wang family.
The head of the Wang family personally raised him to adulthood, but the other children of the Wang family did not seem to accept him, which also caused his lonely personality and he always went alone.
Finally, he accidentally met Zhou Daoxiu and others and joined the mercenary team.
However, this person's talent is not bad. He has three spiritual roots and is also a first-level lower-grade talisman master. If he is fully cultivated, he will also be a good seedling.
Shang Yin is a tall and thin young man. He is a member of the Xiaodan Pavilion. His identity and experience are also quite rough.
His mother was originally a disciple of the Xiaodan Pavilion. When she entered the Xiaodan Sect, she took Shang Yin with her.
But later, his mother died unexpectedly, leaving him alone in the Xiaodan Pavilion. Bai Zhuoren, the master of the Xiaodan Pavilion, couldn't bear to abandon him, so he let him stay.
But he is also promising, with good talent, and has learned some alchemy techniques. He is a first-level lower-grade alchemist.
However, when introducing Shang Yin, Zhou Daoxiu specifically emphasized at the beginning: "Sixth brother, Shang Yin's talent is not in alchemy, and he doesn't want to be an alchemist."
After this, Zhou Daocheng was a little confused. Being able to become a distinguished alchemist is something that many cultivators dream of.
He is now a first-class lower-grade alchemist, and it is surprising that he said he is not interested in alchemy.
Zhou Daoxiu explained: "Sixth brother, Shang Yin is more proficient in medical skills. On weekdays, he is responsible for practicing calligraphy and mixing various medicinal powders. If we are injured, he will help us heal and recover, and the effect is no worse than that of elixirs."
