"Asshole! Just wait for me!" Looking at Xiao Ye's back, Gu Yang gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.
After walking out of Wanqi Pavilion, Xiao Ye glanced around and found a 'Wujian Inn' and walked in. He didn't dare to walk around on the street with a flaming sword on his back like this.
After spending ten taels of silver, Xiao Ye stayed in a room in the inn.
"Wutan City is really a place where money is burned." Xiao Ye said with emotion. Now he only has more than a hundred taels of silver left on him, and he may only be able to survive for a few days.
"No matter what, just take a step at a time. After you get the scabbard, go find out about the pulse cleaning pool." Xiao Ye took off the flame knife and rubbed it with his palm.
The flame sword contains the true meaning of martial arts of a Xuanwu realm warrior. How to understand it? Xiao Ye pondered.
Soon, he remembered the scene in the cave that day, when he used his true energy to pull out the flame knife from the magma.
"Does it mean that... one must use true energy to stimulate the true meaning of martial arts in the sword?" Xiao Ye's eyes flashed, and then he tried to use the true energy in his body to instill it into the flame sword.
boom!
Xiao Ye's head roared and his vision blurred. When he reacted, he was already in the vast shadow of the knife.
Phew! Phew!
There were heavy flames and sword lights in the void, whizzing down like a waterfall, making him feel suffocated.
Xiao Ye was sweating, and the flaming sword light was like a waterfall of fire, engulfing his figure.
He had already experienced it once, so Xiao Ye understood that these were illusory objects and not real objects.
He stood in the vast light of the sword and understood it carefully.
"Pressure..." Soon, Xiao Ye's heart moved. From the vast sword light, he felt a strong sense of pressure.
It was this pressure that gave him a strong sense of suffocation.
"Is this the true meaning of martial arts?" Xiao Ye seemed to have caught a glimmer of light, but it quickly disappeared.
At this moment, the heavy flaming sword light in front of him disappeared, and he withdrew from the state of understanding.
"Huh? Why did he disappear?" Xiao Ye was confused, and soon his complexion changed slightly, because the true energy in his twelve meridians was actually exhausted, and a feeling of extreme weakness spread throughout his body.
"Just for a moment, all my energy was consumed?" Xiao Ye was shocked.
Although he is only at the fifth level of the Houtian Realm, due to the twelve channels of Houtian Kung Fu and Tian Luo Gong, his true energy is much richer than that of a warrior at the sixth level of the Houtian Realm.
Even he could only sustain it for such a short period of time. Ordinary fifth-level warriors of the Houtian realm might not even be able to inspire the true meaning of martial arts in the sword.
"It seems that we still need to improve our cultivation, otherwise we will not be able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts in the sword." Xiao Ye smiled bitterly. According to his speculation, I am afraid that only by reaching the eighth level of the acquired world can the true meaning of martial arts be stimulated for a long time.
"Pulse Cleansing Pond!" Xiao Ye's eyes shot two rays of light. If he wanted to improve his cultivation in a short time, he could only place his hope on the Vein Cleansing Pond.
Afterwards, Xiao Ye stopped thinking about it. He put away the flame sword, his consciousness sank into the Tower of Time, and he began to practice.
As he performed the Tianluo Gong, a ray of true energy began to be generated in the meridians, and then circulated throughout the twelve meridians. With each cycle, the true energy grew stronger.
Xiao Ye spent one night in penance.
When the early morning sunlight shone on Xiao Ye from the window, his eyes suddenly opened, and two sharp rays of light flashed out.
Xiao Ye jumped out of bed, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, kicking up the dust on the ground.
"The cultivation base has broken through to the middle stage of the fifth level of Houtian Realm." Xiao Ye's face was filled with joy as he felt that there was a lot more energy in his body.
Arousing the true meaning of the martial arts of Yan Dao and squandering his true energy, the effect of this extreme squeeze and then hard training is unexpectedly good.
Coinciding with the breakthrough, Xiao Ye felt much better. He wrapped the blade of the flame knife with a piece of cloth, then opened the door and walked out.
Wujian Inn is divided into three floors. The first floor is the dining room for eating. At this time, many warriors were dining, making the sound noisy.
Xiao Ye ordered some vegetables and sat down to eat.
"Have you heard? The pulse washing pool in the city will be opened soon. Tsk tsk, the pulse washing pool is a treasure for Houtian warriors." Suddenly, a voice caught Xiao Ye's attention.
He was about to inquire about the information about the pulse-cleansing pool, so he pricked up his ears and listened.
"Yes, I heard that there was once an acquired martial artist. After being baptized by the Vein Cleansing Pool, his cultivation level increased by two realms. It was really scary."
"It's a pity that the quota to enter the Pulse Cleansing Pool has always been controlled by the three major families of Gu, Zhang, and Su. It is difficult for ordinary people to even get close." Someone said with emotion, talking about the affairs of the three major families.
Xiao Ye's heart moved. He didn't expect that the evil young man he taught a lesson yesterday was actually the second young master of the Gu family.
"Among the three major families now, the Gu family is the most powerful, and the Gu family has produced an amazingly talented Gu Chen, who can be called the number one genius in Wutan City. He broke through to the sixth level of the Houtian realm at the age of sixteen, causing a great sensation.
.Many people speculate that he will get a high ranking in this Chongyang Sect assessment."
"Yes, I've heard that too. Moreover, the Chongyang Sect's entry examination is about to take place. In order to allow more juniors to enter, the Gu family plans to occupy the Su family's quota. I don't know if it's true or not."
"What can we know about these big families?" Someone shook his head and quickly changed the topic.
Xiao Ye's eyes flashed.
Breaking through to the sixth level of the Houtian realm at the age of sixteen, Gu Chen, the first genius in Wutan City?
"I wonder who is more powerful compared to me?" A fighting spirit emerged from Xiao Ye.
In the Chongyang Sect entrance examination, he had to compete with geniuses from various major cities. If he could see the strength of Wutan City's number one genius now, he would feel more confident.
Although his current strength allows him to fight at higher levels, he does not dare to be careless. After all, the geniuses of these big families have a much higher starting point than him. Who knows what trump cards they will have.
Xiao Ye hurriedly finished his meal, left the inn, and wandered around the city. When the time came, he went to Wanbao Pavilion to get the scabbard.
At the same time, in a magnificent mansion in Wutan City.
"Dad." The girl who appeared in Wanqi Pavilion yesterday stepped lightly on lotus steps and walked into a study.
Sitting in the study was a middle-aged man in brocade robes. His standard Chinese-character face looked quite majestic, but at the moment his brows were furrowed and there was deep worry on his face.
When he saw the girl, a smile appeared on his face.
"Ying'er, you're here."
The girl nodded lightly, walked behind the middle-aged man on lotus steps, and stretched out her white little hands to squeeze the middle-aged man's shoulders.
"Dad, are you still worried about the quota to enter the pulse washing pool in three days?" The girl hesitated for a moment and asked softly, her voice as sweet as a wind chime.
"Yes, the Gu family is getting stronger and stronger, and they actually blackmail you with this, asking you to marry Gu Yang, who only knows how to spend money, otherwise you will occupy our Gu family's spot in the pulse washing pool."
"Ying'er, daddy is sorry for you!" The middle-aged man said with tears in his eyes and a look of guilt on his face.
"Dad, there's no need to say I'm sorry. Ying'er is very happy to be able to do something for the family." The girl forced a smile on her face, and the sadness in her clear spring-like eyes flashed away.
Having said this, the girl was silent for a moment, then lightly opened her red lips and said, "Dad, isn't there another way?"
"Yes, there is indeed a way. The Gu family said that if we can find a junior who can survive three attacks at Gu Chen's hands, we will never mention this matter again."
"But they just deal with us casually. Gu Chen is the number one genius in Wutan City, and he is invincible. There is no junior who can withstand three attacks under Gu Chen." The middle-aged man sighed.
"What if there is?" The girl suddenly laughed, like a blooming flower swaying in the wind.
"What!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened and he stood up from his seat, "Ying'er, tell daddy quickly."
The girl nodded with a smile and told her what happened in Wanqi Pavilion yesterday.
"About fifteen years old, fifth level of the acquired realm!" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed brightly, and his body trembled with excitement, "This boy can definitely withstand three moves in Gu Chen's hands, we must find him!"
"Dad, I have already inquired. At this time today, he will go to Wanqi Pavilion, but how can we get him to help us?" the girl asked softly.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally slammed the table and said, "At worst, I'll give him a spot in the pulse cleaning pool. I don't believe he won't be tempted!"
…
After wandering around the city for about an hour, Xiao Ye broadened his horizons. When the time came, he went straight to Wanqi Pavilion.
"Young hero, you are here, the scabbard has been prepared for you." When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Ye, he sent someone to get the scabbard from behind.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." The scabbard was completely black and weighed at least a hundred pounds. Xiao Ye took off the flame knife, tore off the wrapping cloth, and inserted it into the scabbard.
Clang!
The scabbard and the blade fit tightly together, covering up the sharp edge of the flaming sword. Xiao Ye felt excited in his heart. From the outside, outsiders would never be able to tell how special the flaming sword was.
"Young hero, I advise you to leave Wutan City as soon as possible. The guy you beat yesterday, Gu Yang, is the younger brother of Gu Chen, the number one genius in the city." the shopkeeper kindly reminded.
Xiao Ye smiled when he heard this. Since he had offended the other party, he was not afraid of trouble. Besides, he didn't believe that the Gu family could dominate Wutan City with one hand.
"Haha, you beat me and still want to leave?" At this time, a sneer came from outside the door.
Xiao Ye turned around and saw Gu Yang and another young man walking in one after the other.
The young man standing in front of Gu Yang was wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back, and his attitude was cold and arrogant, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
"Brother, that's him!" Gu Yang pointed at Xiao Ye and said bitterly.
Whoosh!
The black-robed young man's eyes swelled sharply, and his gaze fell on Xiao Ye.
"Boy, you are so arrogant that you even dare to hit my brother Gu Chen. If you don't give me an explanation today, just lie down and go out." The young man in black robe said coldly.
Ancient dust?
Xiao Ye's eyes narrowed, was this the number one genius in Wutan City? But his tone was too self-righteous.
"What if I refuse?" Xiao Ye said coldly, fighting spirit emerging from his body. He was about to compete with this first genius.
"Hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless." Gu Chen, the young man in black robe, stepped forward with a powerful aura rising into the sky.
"stop!"
Just when Xiao Ye was about to take action, a loud shout came from outside the door. (To be continued)
