Chapter 9: The Mysterious Old Man Before the Blood Refining Road
() Broken Sword Mountain is located in the middle of Yuantian Continent, at the junction of Juque Kingdom and Tianlei Kingdom. Even in the entire Yuantian Continent, Broken Sword Mountain is a very famous existence.
Of course, the reason why Broken Sword Mountain is so famous is not due to the mountain itself. It is because the legendary Blood Refining Road of the Four Great Sword Palaces started from this place.
Here is the entrance to the Blood Refining Road of the Four Sword Palaces!
For thousands of years, the Blood Refining Road has been a symbol of honor and status in the Four Sword Palaces. If you can successfully pass the Blood Refining Road and enter the Four Sword Palaces to practice, you will not only enjoy a very high status in the Four Sword Palaces, but also enjoy a high status in the Four Sword Palaces.
What's important is that this Blood Spirit Road is also a pass to the strong. Every person who successfully enters the Four Sword Palaces through the Blood Spirit Road has become a peerless strong man who is famous in Yuantian Continent!
Because of this, countless geniuses from all over the Yuantian Continent once gathered here. They wanted to enter the Four Sword Palaces through this blood refining path, gain the supreme glory, and become a peerless powerhouse. But in the end, most of them failed.
, there are even some extremely talented young people who have stayed on the blood refining road forever and disappeared from sight...
Broken Sword Mountain is the starting point for many peerless sword cultivators to embark on the road to becoming strong, but more often it becomes the end point for many sharp-edged young men to break their swords. Even so, this blood refining road still attracts Yuantian Continent.
Countless talented young people came here one after another.
As the years go by, the Yuantian Continent has experienced major changes several times. The sword cultivation path is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, and the continent no longer has as many amazing young geniuses as it once did. Even the young people who can meet the conditions to enter the blood refining path are not as popular as before.
It continued to decrease. Over time, Broken Sword Mountain gradually became depressed.
Especially in the recent history of the Four Sword Palaces. For nearly a hundred years, no one has been able to truly enter the Four Sword Palaces through the Blood Refining Road. Therefore, except for some very few people who still remember the existence of the Blood Refining Road. Here
It seems to have been forgotten by most people.
Outside Broken Sword Mountain, there was silence all around. Suddenly, in the distant sky, a flashing light point of lightning gradually flashed. Only when we got closer did we realize that this small light point flying rapidly in mid-air turned out to be a handful.
The giant sword flashed with lightning. Above the giant sword, there were three figures, one large, two small, standing quietly.
The giant sword flickered for a few seconds, then flew towards Broken Sword Mountain, and finally landed slowly in front of a maple forest in Broken Sword Mountain.
"Uncle Lei, are you here?" Lin Tian glanced at the maple forest in front of him, then turned his head and looked at Lei Gang beside him.
Lei Gang nodded, looked at the maple forest in front of him, and sighed softly: "Yes, we are here. After passing the maple forest in front, we will reach the entrance of the Blood Refining Road. Unknowingly, it has been ten years.
I’ve been to this place before.”
Lin Tian was slightly startled: "Ten years?"
"The conditions for entering the Blood Refining Road are actually extremely harsh. Only talented young men who have successfully entered the Mortal Realm before the age of fifteen are qualified to enter the Blood Refining Road. Over the years, our Tianlei Kingdom has truly been able to reach this point.
There are almost no geniuses. Even if one or two appear occasionally, they have already entered the Four Sword Palaces to practice before they have reached the mortal realm. No one wants to wait until they enter the mortal realm to come to this blood refining road." Lei Gang
He chuckled and said, "The last time I brought a little guy here to enter the Blood Refining Road was ten years ago."
Lin Tian's heart moved and he asked: "Did he fail to pass the Blood Refining Road in the end? What happened to him?"
"He persisted in the Blood Refining Road for sixty-three days. He is the person who has been able to persist in the Blood Refining Road the longest in these years. Although he did not pass the Blood Refining Road, he was still beaten by an elder from the Giant Que Sword Palace.
Take a fancy. Now, he should still be in the Juque Sword Palace." Lei Gang recovered his thoughts, and then said to Lin Tianda: "Let's go there!"
Walking through the maple forest, Lin Tian saw three thatched huts not far in front of the maple forest. A skinny old man sat on a wooden chair in front of the door. The old man's beard and hair were all white, and his face was engraved with weather-beaten wrinkles. At this moment, it seemed that
He was sleeping soundly, and it seemed as if the guest's footsteps didn't wake him up.
"Old senior and junior Lei Gang brought people here specially to enter the Blood Refining Road. I forgot that senior can give vampire crystal cards." Lei Gang led Lin and Tian to a stop a hundred steps away from the hut, and said to
The white-haired old man said respectfully.
The old man suddenly moved, and his cloudy old eyes slowly opened. Then he walked toward them tremblingly with a cane, which made people feel frightened, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
The old man walked slowly in front of Lin Tian and the others, ignoring Lei Gang, and glanced at Lin Tian and Aman with his turbid eyes. Immediately, he moved his dry palms, and two transparent crystal cards with a hint of blood appeared.
It fell into his hand, and then flew towards Lin Tian and the others. At the same time, a low murmur also sounded from his mouth.
"It has appeared, everything has appeared. What should come will eventually come..."
The old man murmured something, then ignored the three of them and staggered back on crutches.
"He...what does he mean?" The old man's low words immediately frightened Lin Tian.
Everything has appeared? So what should come?
Lei Gang took the crystal card and glanced at the old man who was walking back towards the hut. He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. As far as I know, this old guy has been guarding the entrance of the Blood Refining Road for five days.
It’s been a hundred years. It is the oldest existence in the world among the Four Sword Palaces. Every time I meet people, I like to talk crazy things. Just ignore it and let’s go over!”
Lin Tian nodded silently and glanced at the white-haired old man who was sitting on the wooden chair and sleeping again.
Is this... really just a crazy talk from an old man?
Passing by the hut where the old man lived, Lei Gang quickly led Lin and Tian to a cliff.
The cliff is steep and straight, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror. At the bottom of the cliff, there is a semicircular hole. It faintly emits a faint red light!
Lei Gang looked at the hole in front of him, turned his head and said to Lin Tian: "This is the entrance to the Blood Refining Road."
Lin Tian suddenly said with some confusion: "Uncle Lei, didn't you say that the conditions for entering the Blood Refining Road are extremely harsh? How come it is so easy?"
Lei Gang smiled and said: "Haha, you think that when you come here, you can really enter the Blood Refining Road. The entrance to the Blood Refining Road was set up by the peerless powerful men of the Four Sword Palaces with their great supernatural powers.
.Only young geniuses who have reached the mortal realm between the ages of seven and fifteen can enter it."
Lin Tian nodded suddenly, glanced at Aman beside him who was chewing a transparent horn in boredom, and then said to Lei Gang: "Uncle Lei, if Aman cannot enter the Blood Refining Road, please help me take care of him.
Already."
Lei Gang nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, I will help you take care of him. When the recruitment meeting of the Four Sword Palaces is held next year, I will also find a way for him to enter the Four Sword Palaces to practice."
"Brother, don't underestimate Aman. Aman can definitely get in to this place." Aman curled his lips, not paying attention to what the two said.
"Haha, the aura of this little guy makes me feel a little strange. Maybe he can actually enter the Blood Refining Road with you." Lei Gang glanced at Aman, then smiled at Lin Tian and said, "Can you go in?
, you’ll find out in a moment. That old guy doesn’t care about anything anymore every time he throws the Vampire Crystal Card to someone, now I’ll tell you the rules of the Blood Refining Road!”
Lin Tian nodded. In fact, in his heart, he really didn't want Aman to enter the Blood Refining Road. After all, the Blood Refining Road was too dangerous.
"Entering the blood-refining road, the most important thing about how far you can go on the blood-refining road lies in this blood-sucking crystal card." Lei Gang said, and handed the blood-sucking crystal card in his hand to Lin and Tian.
Lin Tian frowned slightly, took the blood-sucking crystal card, and said with some confusion: "What is the use of this thing?"
Lei Gang said: "Everyone who enters Blood Refining will have such a blood-sucking crystal card. This is a status symbol for entering the Blood Refining Road. Of course, more importantly, this blood-sucking crystal card is also a time limiter, it will limit you
The time spent in the Blood Refining Road."
"Time limiter?" Lin Tian became even more confused when he heard this.
Lei Gang nodded and said: "Have you seen the blood-stained part at the bottom of the blood-sucking crystal card? This is actually equivalent to a limited-time special energy. At the beginning, everyone who entered the blood-refining road had a blood-sucking crystal card in their hands.
They can only stay in the Blood Refining Road for three days. Once the three days are up, the blood part of the Vampire Crystal Card gradually disappears, and it will be sent directly to the Blood Refining Road. If you want to get more in the Blood Refining Road
In time, you need to obtain animal blood. Then drip the animal blood into the blood-sucking crystal card. The higher the grade of animal blood, the more energy you can add to the blood-sucking crystal card."
Lin Tian looked at the blood-sucking crystal card in his hand and felt quite novel about the rules of the Blood Refining Road. He couldn't help but smiled in surprise: "So that's it. It seems that this Blood Refining Road is quite interesting.
!”
"It's quite interesting. It is said that a long time ago, when there were hundreds of people entering the Blood Refining Road every year, in order to go further on the Blood Refining Road, there would be a phenomenon of plundering Vampire Crystal Cards from each other and sucking the blood of others.
The energy of the crystal card is included in your own blood-sucking crystal card." Lei Gang said with a smile: "But now, only a few people come to participate in the blood refining road every year, so it is estimated that such a thing rarely happens."
"How can it still be like this?" Lin Tian was a little stunned.
"Blood Refining Road, Blood Refining Road. This is really a bloody road of experience. If you really can't pass it, I hope you won't be too reluctant." Lei Gang glanced at Lin Tian and turned his eyes to the person who exuded this faint light.
The entrance of the light suddenly asked: "Nephew Lin Tianxian, if you pass the Blood Refining Road, which sword palace do you plan to go to?"
"We should go to Juque Sword Palace!" Recalling Lin Han's words in Tongbeiling that day in his mind, Lin Tian's eyes flickered slightly. There were some things that he had to figure out no matter what.
"Juque Sword Palace?" Lei Gang chuckled, and then a silver token with faint flashes of lightning suddenly appeared on his palm, and handed it to Lin Tiandao: "It just so happened that my son Lei Dong also entered the Juque sword palace a year ago.
Sword Palace. Take this with you. If you meet him, show him this token and he will understand."
"Thank you, Uncle Lei." Lin Tian did not refuse. He took the token, smiled at Lei Gang and clasped his fists. Then under the latter's gaze, he led Aman towards the entrance of the Blood Refining Road.
