When Shang Xia took out a pair of willow-leaf scimitars from his cuffs, Shang Quan almost stared out of his eyes.
"Sharp weapon? Or a pair?"
Shang Quan finally pulled himself back from the edge of losing his temper. He quickly glanced around and found that no one was paying attention. He quickly pulled Shang Xia into the Shang Building.
"Where did you get these scimitars?"
As soon as he arrived at his own territory, Shang Quan directly asked Shang Xia about the origin of the willow leaf scimitar, his tone was very solemn and direct.
Although Shang Xia was surprised, he still roughly described the process of his battle of wits and courage with the female warrior Yan Ming.
After listening to what Shang Xia said with great concentration, Shang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression did not relax at all. He said: "Although the origin of these scimitars is not a problem, the loss of a pair of sharp weapons will definitely
Let you become the target that the Fengyan tribe must eliminate quickly."
Shang Xia secretly thought that because of the mutated Swift, he might have become a thorn in the side of the Fengyan tribe.
However, he still had a look of shock on his face and said, "Isn't that true? Isn't it just a pair of inferior weapons?"
It's not that Shang Xia is being pretentious, but he possesses two sharp weapons. In addition to the low-grade ivory folding fan, there is also a medium-grade soft sword Yuhe.
Although Shang Xia also knew that sharp weapons were rare, he really didn't think that just because of a pair of sharp weapons, a tribe could go to the point of relentlessly targeting him personally.
Shang Quan's face was full of hatred and he said in a heartbreaking tone: "You are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is! You know that a low-grade weapon, even a low-grade sharp weapon, is not as powerful as our Shang family."
, what does it mean?”
No matter how slow Shang Xia was, he realized that he had misunderstandings about sharp weapons, so he cautiously asked: "Does our family have a small number of sharp weapons?"
Rao is Shang Quan, who is in charge of the family business in Tongyou Peak. He has already developed a good temper. At this time, he couldn't help but said angrily: "What do you think? The entire Shang family only has five sharp weapons in total. Among them,
You still have both of them!"
"so little?"
Shang Xia felt that Uncle Quan was lying to him.
Shang Quan sighed: "Not only are there few, but the quality is not high. Among the five sharp weapons, two are of medium quality and the remaining three are of low quality."
When Shang Xia heard this, he immediately said: "Uncle Quan, isn't this right? My grandfather's Jiu Yingyan is a top-grade weapon!"
Shang Quan said feebly: "That's not our business's thing. The ownership of Jiuyingshan is in Tongyou College. It is your grandfather who is the deputy principal of the college and the chief professor of the Department of Education. Once in the future, your grandfather will be in charge.
I am no longer the deputy director of Tongyou Academy, so this high-grade weapon still needs to be returned to the academy."
Shang Xia was stunned, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen.
Shang Quan glanced at him and continued: "The family's five sharp weapons, one of the middle-grade sharp weapons is in the hands of Uncle Ke, and the other two low-grade sharp weapons are also in the hands of the other two martial arts masters in the family. Even you
Aunt Shangxi doesn't even have a sharp weapon in her hand."
"Then these two sharp weapons on my body..."
Shang Xia suddenly felt that the two sharp weapons in his hands were a bit hot to the touch.
Shang Quan said with a half-smile, "Now do you know the importance of these two sharp weapons in your hands?"
Shang Xia nodded hurriedly, and quickly planned to return the soft sword "Jade River" wrapped around his waist, together with the ivory folding fan, to the family.
Shang Quan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. These two sharp weapons can be temporarily handed over to you for safekeeping. Otherwise, these two sharp weapons are family treasures. How could you easily show them off?"
Shang Xia couldn't help but feel hot when he thought about the scene where he showed off his power with two sharp weapons in the academy.
"Why?" Shang Xia was puzzled.
Shang Quan explained: "Among the warriors in the family, there is no one who is good at using these two sharp weapons. Whoever uses them occasionally uses them to show off, so these two sharp weapons have always been idle in the family and are in public use. Otherwise,
Do you think you can just show it off?"
Shang Xia suddenly remembered that after he "appropriated these two sharp weapons as his own", his aunt Shang Xi also took away the soft sword "Yuhe" from him twice, each time for three to five days.
After no time, it was returned to him.
Shang Xia said embarrassedly: "Uncle Quan, then... these two scimitars..."
Shang Quan carefully inspected the small gaps on the scimitar blade, and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Don't worry, our blacksmith is not qualified to make low-grade sharp weapons, but he is still somewhat confident in repairing these two gaps, and
Shang Quan thought for a while and said seriously: "The family has provided the materials to repair the scimitars for you. These scimitars are still your trophies, but you are also a member of the family, so the family's heritage can be enriched.
"
"Of course!" Shang Xia said immediately.
"Although this scimitar is only a low-grade weapon, when these two scimitars are paired, their value is no longer that of an ordinary mid-grade weapon. As a result, the gap between our business and the other three major families in Tongyou City in terms of background
Then it can be further reduced.”
Having said this, Shang Quan couldn't help but look a little excited.
Shang Xia was unconvinced and said: "Our merchant is also one of the four major families in Tongyou City. Isn't the gap between us and the other three major families obvious?"
Shang Quan smiled bitterly and said: "You child was born after the fall of Youzhou. You don't know the power of the five surnamed families in Youzhou at that time. The so-called four major families in Tongyou City, Ji, Liu, and Yun, were originally the five surnamed families in Youzhou at that time.
The remnants of the fall of Youzhou. Compared with them, our merchants are the real rising stars."
"As the saying goes, 'A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.' Although the three families no longer have the prestige of the five-surname family in the past, their hundreds of years of heritage are far beyond the comparison of our merchants."
"Not to mention other things, let's talk about this high-grade weapon. The patriarchs of the other three major families are also the deputy heads of Tongyou Academy, but they all have high-grade weapons belonging to their respective families. In this regard, our merchants are better than
No."
Shang Quan's words gave Shang Xia a clear understanding of his family, but it also made him feel depressed.
Shang Quan also seemed to be aware of Shang Xia's bad mood and comforted him: "You don't have to be disappointed. In fact, in the past few years, our merchant's upward momentum has not been weak, and the gap with the other three companies in all aspects has been gradually narrowed.
, The pair of scimitars you brought back today has almost eliminated the gap in the number of sharp weapons with the other three companies. If you bring back a low-grade sharp weapon another day, maybe we can catch up!"
Shang Xia thought for a while, then his expression became very serious and said: "Uncle Quan, if our family has one more weapon, can it be stronger than the other three families?"
Shang Quan was slightly startled, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "It should...it should be, right?"
"Oh," Shang Xia nodded, then bent down and pulled out a dagger from the boot on his calf, and said, "Uncle Quan, what do you think of this 'Yuanguang' dagger? It is also a low-grade sharp weapon!"
"..."
Shang Quan feels that his head is a bit square.
…………
Although the time of contact with Shang Quan was not too frequent, Shang Quan gave Shang Xia the impression that he was a calm and measured person in everything he did.
However, Shang Xia couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought that an hour ago, his clan uncle was holding three sets of four sharp weapons in his hands, looking as frightened as a frightened hen.
At this time, Shang Xia was in a quiet room arranged by Shang Quan.
Light a pot of incense and let your spirit return.
Shang Xia's mind began to flow with the inheritance of exercises and martial arts acquired in the Sutra Cave.
After confirming that his memory was correct, Shang Xia began to focus all his attention on the inheritance of the "Three Mysteries and Two Extremes Gong". He began to consider every word and understand its meaning.
At the same time, the large amount of vitality that had accumulated in the dantian of Shang Xia's body seemed to be inspired by something and began to move.
However, under the suppression of the central Tai Chi diagram, the entire Dantian has always remained unimaginably stable.
After Shang Xia advanced to the Wuji realm, the real origin of the Wuji realm in the Dantian was only the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram that was manifested through the enlightenment of advanced potions.
The rest of the vitality accumulated in the Dantian, in addition to the original Wuyuan realm vitality in the body, there is also a large amount of heaven and earth vitality that poured in during the advancement process.
If it were any warrior who had just advanced to the Wuji Realm, when faced with the scene that appeared in Shang Xia's dantian at this time, I am afraid that he would have been frightened and trembled, even walking carefully, for fear that if he was not careful, his dantian and his whole body would be destroyed.
They'll all be fried into powder.
However, in fact, Shang Xia never had such worries.
Even after he advanced to the Martial Arts Realm, he fought against others several times. Whether it was his Dantian or the vitality in his body, he was always stable and good.
Shang Xia knew from the beginning that the core of his true foothold in the Wuji realm was not the Wuji realm's exercises, martial arts, or magical powers, but his unique understanding and experience in this realm.
The embodiment in Dantian - Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram!
Therefore, Shang Xia's desire for martial arts was not focused on its ability to control vitality and prevent loss of control from the beginning.
After all, from this point of view, the emergence of Tai Chi Diagram has almost perfectly solved this problem.
It can even be said that when the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram was manifested in Dantian, Shang Xia had already created half a set of martial arts skills, and they were of a very high level.
What Shang Xia lacks now is just the ability to harness and control vitality in martial arts.
In other words, the reason why Shang Xia chose "Three Mysteries and Two Extremes Gong" was just to integrate its concept into his Yin and Yang concept and perfect it into a set of martial arts techniques that are unique to him.
"Should we start with the extreme path of water and fire..."
As Shang Xia's thoughts moved, the Tai Chi diagram in his Dantian also changed.
Half of it gurgled like running water, while the other half was like a blazing fire.
"Water and Fire Ji Dao is one of the most common ways to practice in the Martial Realm. It seems ordinary, but in fact it has been studied very deeply, and it is more stable."
"The creator of this set of exercises took this as a starting point. Obviously he was aware of the dangers in the process of transitioning to the ultimate realm, so he chose the safest method."
With Shang Xia's approval, the water and fire Tai Chi diagram in the dantian began to rotate slowly.
In an instant, the huge energy accumulated in the Dantian seemed to be suddenly awakened. While gradually moving closer to the center of the Dantian, it began to slowly rotate along the periphery of the Tai Chi diagram.
At the same time, the vitality scattered in the body seems to be attracted, slowly flowing along the meridians to the final destination-Dantian!
