Back in the Zhengxuan sect's handyman village, Yan Bing was defeated by him in public and lost all his dignity. Then he was deposed by him, and his fate has been unknown since then.
Xia Chen didn't care, thinking that Yan Bing's fate would be to live in a deserted place for the rest of his life, and would never be able to embark on the path of spiritual practice again. He never expected that Yan Bing would actually become a disciple of the Haoran Sect!
What happened to this guy? After being deposed, he could actually become a disciple of the Haoran Sect?
Senior Brother Qi glanced at him, his eyes flashed, and he softened his tone: "Since Junior Brother Yan said so, let's keep a low profile."
The surprise in Xia Chen's heart gradually subsided, and he suddenly tore off a piece of clothing, wrapped it around his face, then walked out of the screen calmly, and followed the diners on the second floor downstairs.
He didn't want to expose his identity, and he didn't want to collide with Yan Bing. He at least wanted to know what happened to Yan Bing. Fortunately, he was in the dark and the situation was favorable.
Senior Brother Qi and two other disciples of the Haoran Sect also discovered Xia Chen's mask, but they didn't pay much attention. Their purpose was just to clear the place, not to investigate anything.
However, Yan Bing's heart moved and he stared at Xia Chen suspiciously. From the masked young man, he suddenly felt a familiar aura, and memories suddenly surged in his dusty memory, making him think of the hatred he seemed to have long forgotten.
.
"Who are you? Stop!" Seeing that Xia Chen was about to follow everyone downstairs and disappear, Yan Bing finally couldn't help but shouted.
Xia Chen stopped and the other three disciples of the Haoran Sect also looked at Yan Bing in astonishment.
"Take off your mask and let me see who you are?" Yan said coldly.
"What right do you have to do this? I have already given up the single room." Xia Chen deliberately suppressed his voice and said angrily.
"If you are asked to pick it, just pick it, otherwise, you will be miserable." Yan Bing said lightly. He had an uncontrollable impulse in his heart and wanted to see what the young man's face was like under the mask.
"Junior Brother Yan? What's going on? Who is he?" Senior Brother Qi asked with doubts.
"Senior Brother Qi, this person looks very much like an old friend of mine!" Yan Bingbing said with a smile, emphasizing the word "old friend" very hard, "So I want him to take off his mask."
"Oh..." Senior Brother Qi nodded, suddenly sneered, and grabbed Xia Chen in front of his face: "Why is it so troublesome? Can't you just tear it off?"
Snapped!
As soon as he stretched out his hand halfway, he was punched in the face by Xia Chen. He immediately flew backwards with his face full of flowers. He hit the floor with a thud, and several broken teeth were filled with hot...
Blood splattered out.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities." Xia Chen sneered.
"You bastard, you dare to hit our Haoran Sect disciples, you are seeking death!" The two Haoran Sect disciples were shocked, became furious, and quickly rushed towards Xia Chen.
There were two muffled thuds, and the two of them were kicked by Xia Chen respectively. They flew backwards as fast as they had pounced on them, and fell to the floor in a miserable state, screaming loudly.
"Whatever disciples of the Haoran Sect, I think they are all bullshit and vulnerable. I don't have time to fight with you, so I say goodbye!"
Whoosh! Xia Chen was like a javelin shot out of the window straight to the street, falling gently to the ground like a feather.
"Damn it, you want to leave? Can you leave?" Seeing Xia Chen being so powerful, Yan Bing was also shocked, but immediately shouted angrily and chased after her.
With a whoosh, Yan Bing also walked out of the window, but as soon as he landed on the ground, he only saw Xia Chen's figure flashing, and there was no trace at all.
What a fast speed! Yan Bing was surprised.
He originally wanted to pursue him, but he could only stop, wondering in his heart: I must have been wrong. Being able to knock out Senior Brother Qi with one punch is at least the fourth level of acquired cultivation. How could that fellow Xia Chen be so advanced!
Thinking of the figure that had brought him infinite humiliation, Yan Bing's eyes suddenly burst with deep murderous intent.
Humph! Xia Chen, you didn’t expect that, although I was destroyed by you, I encountered a great opportunity and joined the more powerful Haoran sect. My cultivation level is also advancing rapidly. Just wait, sooner or later, I will start again.
Return to the Zhengxuan Sect and pay back a hundred times what you have done to me!
Yan Bing returned to the restaurant and saw the three senior brothers Qi holding their stomachs respectively and yelling: "Asshole, don't let me catch you, or I will cramp and peel you off!"
All the diners covered their mouths and snickered as they went downstairs. Everyone felt extremely happy to see the arrogant and rude disciples of the Haoran Sect deflated and beaten.
Xia Chen ran out of several streets and then stopped.
He pulled off his masked clothes, thinking that since the Haoran sect was also here for Gu Zang, he would inevitably have to meet Yan Bing again, so he should change his true appearance.
Walking into a deserted alley, Xia Chen silently channeled his energy.
A strange scene happened. Under the operation of Zhenqi, his face suddenly began to change its shape, his lips slowly became thinner, his eyes gradually became larger, and his chin became pointed.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen turned into an extraordinary handsome young man.
Xia Chen took out a mirror from the storage space, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction. Even he couldn't recognize the face in the mirror, but it looked much better than before.
This method of changing one's appearance was also learned from the Book of Heaven's Magic. It is called the Thousand Faces Technique. It is extremely miraculous and is hundreds of times more powerful than the disguise technique.
"Oh, I wish I were so handsome!" Xia Chen looked at it for a long time, then put the mirror away and said to himself.
Suddenly there was a sound of bones exploding in his body, and as he grew taller, his originally ordinary body suddenly became thinner, and with his handsome face, he looked like a handsome young man.
At the fifth level of acquired bone refining, one can change the shape of bones and body shape at will, with ease.
After combing his hair again, Xia Chen walked out of the alley, thinking that even if Yan Bing was standing in front of him now, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.
"This little brother, is this your first time in Yunyang City?" Suddenly, a laughing voice sounded from behind.
Xia Chen looked back and saw a shrewd man who looked like a butler looking at him with a smile. Behind the middle-aged man was a beautiful girl with a pair of big, watery eyes that kept turning on his face.
"Who is your Excellency?" Xia Chen was startled.
"I am Zhao Qian, the steward of Baibao Pavilion. I think this little brother is extraordinary and must be a master of cultivation. Our Baibao Pavilion specially holds trading meetings for monks and sells various genius elixirs. If you are interested, little brother
, you might as well come and take a look, you only need to pay ten vitality pills to get started." The man smiled and spoke very sophisticatedly.
The beautiful girl smiled and stretched out her snow-white hand, handed over a shining silver card and said: "This is the entry card for Baibao Pavilion. There will be a large-scale trade fair tonight, and there will be many treasures for auction. Master, will you come?"
?”
Trade fair? Xia Chen's heart moved. He had gained a lot of experience in practicing the weapon refining technique in the Book of Heaven's Magic these days. He also refined the half of a split-tooth bear skin. However, lacking other materials, he could only refine it.
It’s a semi-finished product, so it’s better to go to the trade fair and have a look, maybe you’ll gain something from it.
If the skin of a Cleft-Tooth Bear could be refined into a defensive leather coat, it would be a little more reliable to explore ancient treasures.
He took out a bottle of Vitality Pills, then took the silver card from the girl's hand and said: "These are ten Vitality Pills. I just need a few materials. I hope I can get something at the trading fair."
The girl smiled slightly and saw that he was handsome, so she couldn't help but pinch his wrist: "The little girl's name is Lili. The young master is here. If you need anything, you must come to me!"
Xia Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Lili winked at him, and then walked forward with Zhao Qian. After a while, she stopped several monks who were walking together and chattered something incessantly.
This Baibao Pavilion is very good at doing business. Knowing that practitioners gather in Yunyang City, most of them come for ancient treasures, and they must need a lot of weapons and elixirs. Taking this opportunity to hold a trade fair, they can make a lot of money. Xia Chenxin
think.
He smiled slightly, strode away, found a random inn to stay, and began to practice.
In the past ten days, except for practicing the magical skills of the Heavenly Book and the Sky-Splitting Edge, Xia Chen did not relax at all. However, it was extremely difficult to open the last meridian. Xia Chen tried his best to open most of it, leaving only the last one.
At some point, it started to stagnate.
Soon, it became dark. Xia Chen opened his eyes. After practicing all afternoon, there was still no progress. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that without external help or deeper understanding, he could get through the last one by relying on his own cultivation.
There is really little hope for meridians.
Taking out the Baibao Pavilion's entry card, Xia Chen walked out of the inn. The address of the trade fair was already marked on the card, making it easy to find.
However, Xia Chen did not go directly to the trading venue. Instead, he went to the market and bought a black cloak with a hood. After wearing it, he came to the door of the trading venue.
Two expressionless men stood at the door, reaching out and saying, "Fellow Taoist, please show your entry card."
Xia Chen calmly took out his silver card and waved it in front of the two of them.
The two big men immediately smiled with their faces and stretched out their hands to guide Xia Chen. Xia Chen walked into the trading venue and found that it was an extremely wide hall with seats distributed in a ring. In the center was a rectangular stand, which was obviously the trading center.
There were already many people sitting in the hall, all talking in low voices. Some girls wearing the same clothes as Lili shuttled like flying swallows, busy among the crowd.
Xia Chen suddenly looked up and saw that there was also a floor of seats upstairs, but these seats were in separate single rooms, obviously prepared for important people.
"Fellow Taoist, how can I help you?" A sweet voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Chen looked back and saw a bright-eyed girl standing in front of him with a professional smile on her face. It was Lili.
Xia Chen slightly lifted his hood: "Hello, Miss Lili."
Lili's beautiful eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Handsome young master, you are finally here! Lili misses you so much. She has been fascinated by you all afternoon. What do you think is going on?"
