The situation in Tongyou Peak has become increasingly tense. Even if Shang Xia has been hiding in the merchant building to practice swordsmanship during this period, he can still feel that the entire Tongyou Peak is filled with the atmosphere before the war.
The commercial building no longer does business, but instead transports truckloads of stored supplies out.
The extraordinary power of the merchants stationed at Tongyou Peak is also under the control of Tongyou Academy.
Not only the merchants, but also the industries of the other three major families on Tongyou Peak, as well as some other small and medium-sized forces, have begun to hand over part of their reserves of materials and extraordinary power to Tongyou Academy for free for deployment.
At this time, no one cares about personal gains and losses. Once Tongyou Peak is lost, it will not be as simple as retreating to Tongyou Academy.
Not only will they lose control of the entire two-realm battlefield, but the entire Cangyu Realm will be exposed to the Cangling Realm.
At that time, not only Youzhou will fall, but the entire thirteen states of Cangyu will face the threat of invasion from outside.
…
Shang Quan was very busy, but at least he still had Yan Qi by his side to help him.
Shang Ke even showed up in Shang Xia's quiet room that day and was never seen again.
Among the entire shopping mall, only Shang Xi and Shang Xia's aunt and nephew seem to be the most "free".
It's just that Shang Xi hides in a quiet room all day long, and no one in the entire Shang Building knows her existence except Shang Ke, Shang Quan, Shang Xia and Yan Qi.
Shang Xia has been obsessed with the practice of "Ji Jian Ce".
He had laid a solid foundation when he was in Wuyuan Realm, and when he advanced to Liangyi Realm, he encountered a great opportunity. Combining the two, Shang Xia has already accumulated a foundation that is unimaginable for a warrior of the same level.
.
It's just that due to the lack of practice and inheritance of martial arts, his cultivation and strength have not been able to increase for the time being.
Now that Kung Fu and martial arts are fully equipped, Shang Xia immediately showed a posture of accumulation.
Whether it is the growth of Liangyi Yuanqi in the body or the progress of Fang Gang's sword training, everything is progressing extremely smoothly.
As for the improvement of Shang Xia's own strength, it is even more rapid.
On the martial arts field in the backyard of the Shang Building, Shang Xia was using an ordinary blue steel sword to practice the last move of the Fang Gang Sword Technique, and ended it successfully.
After this period of practice, he has mastered the nine-style light steel sword technique one by one.
This kind of proficiency not only refers to the proficiency of the sword moves themselves, but also refers to the proficiency of the body's vitality to move according to the sword skills and to cooperate with the sword practice process.
Only under this situation can the power of Fang Gang's Sword Art as an extraordinary martial skill be fully exerted.
Of course, under the current circumstances, it is just proficiency.
There is still a long way to go before the martial arts can be demonstrated to perfection.
Despite this, during the exercise, Shang Xia was still able to discover through looking inside his Dantian that a large amount of residual vitality scattered around the Tai Chi diagram was slowly being assimilated and absorbed, becoming part of the Liangyi vitality.
This is the purifying effect of extraordinary martial arts on a warrior's origin.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
There was a burst of applause. Shang Xi also appeared on the martial arts field at some point, and it seemed that he had been here for a while.
"Why did aunt come out today?"
Shang Xia threw it away casually, and the green steel sword in his hand was accurately inserted into the weapon rack next to him.
"I feel bored in seclusion, so I come out to relax. Anyway, there are not many people in the commercial building now."
Shang Xi said casually: "But my aunt didn't expect that your swordsmanship has been cultivated to such an extent. It's really impressive."
Shang Xia smiled "hehe" and said: "Aunt, how often do you think your nephew has impressed you?"
"Shao Poverty!"
Shang Xi tried to fight, but Shang Xia quickly avoided it with a smile.
"Auntie, why do you want to see me?"
Shang Xia had long known that Shang Xi wanted to see him for something and was not here to see him practice swordsmanship.
Shang Xi smiled and spread her palms, and a Jinyun box appeared in her palms.
Shang Xia deliberately made his mouth water when he saw this, and said happily: "Auntie, have you finally decided to give me this brocade cloud box?"
The moment the Jinyun Box appeared in Shang Xi's hand, it was opened. A jade talisman about two inches long and only one inch wide flew out of it and landed on her palm.
At this time, Shang Xia's joking words happened to be heard. Shang Xi's expression suddenly changed, and he casually threw the jade talisman in his hand and the combined brocade cloud box to Shang Xia.
Shang Xia hurriedly caught the two things that came over and shouted strangely: "Aunt, my good aunt, my nephew is joking with you, are you really going to give it to me?"
Shang Xi smiled, but there was no hint of joking in his expression. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Why, you don't dare to accept it?"
Shang Xia didn't dare to be provoked by this, so he quickly handed over the Jinyun Box and said, "I don't dare to accept it!"
As for the jade talisman, Shang Xia simply kept it in his hands.
He could see that what his aunt wanted to give him just now was this jade talisman. As for the Jinyun Box, it was more like a temporary idea.
"coward!"
Shang Xi laughed and scolded, and then said seriously: "Xiao Xia, the war is coming..."
Shang Xia said "Yeah", "I know, Auntie, aren't we already making preparations?"
Shang Xi ignored him and continued: "But the news that Chief Kou Shan was seriously injured was leaked, and Yueji will be involved in this battle..."
Shang Xia interrupted again: "Don't worry, aunt, we have already concluded that the people from the Rose Club will not attack Tongyou Peak directly!"
"Don't always interrupt me!"
When Shang Xi was interrupted by his nephew twice in a row, he immediately became furious. He grabbed his ears and pulled him to his side. He said angrily: "In a war, who dares to take any chances? You can guarantee that he will pass through.
Youfeng must win? If anything goes wrong, that divine walking jagged talisman is what keeps you alive, remember?"
Shang Xia screamed in pain and said: "Remember, remember, please let go!"
Shang Xi let go of his hand holding his ear, but then tapped his forehead with a finger, and said angrily: "Be smart when the time comes. Once Tongyou Peak is revealed, use this jade talisman to escape immediately. Do you understand?"
?”
Shang Xia nodded hurriedly.
Seeing this, Shang Xi let him go, and then said with a hint of complacency: "Do you know who among the family is the best at practicing jagged steps?"
Just looking at my aunt's expression, I already understood the answer.
Shang Xia quickly said in a very stupid manner: "That must be my aunt!"
Shang Xi gave him a look that said, "I guess you have a lot of vision," and said, "This is a third-level jade talisman. Our family doesn't have a talisman master who can make third-level martial talismans. This is my aunt, and I've ruined it."
As a favor, I asked Mr. Chen from Baiyi Pavilion of the academy to make this jade talisman, which also sealed a trace of my aunt’s martial arts will. Once it is stimulated, even if you meet a master of martial arts, you may not be able to do anything.
Individuals can catch up."
"Aunt, you..."
Shang Xia suddenly looked moved. Integrating his martial arts will into the jade talisman would weaken his aunt's own cultivation.
Although the weakened cultivation level can be cultivated back in the future, this will greatly delay my aunt's cultivation progress.
This shows that his aunt cares about him.
"Okay, okay, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, whatever you do, my aunt and I will get goosebumps!"
Shang Xi shrugged deliberately, then stretched out his hand and said: "The benefits are for you, bring the 'Yuhe'!"
Shang Xia suddenly looked distressed: "I know it, I know it, aunt, your nephew is only touched by me in the blink of an eye!"
As Shang Xia spoke, he untied Yu He from his waist.
"Cut the nonsense!"
Shang Xi snatched the "Yuhe" soft sword from Shang Xia's hand.
At this moment, Shang Xia's heart moved and he said: "Gu, can you use this soft sword smoothly?"
Shang Xi rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I really make it easy, can I still let you show it off all day long?"
Without waiting for Shang Xia to ask, Shang Xi said helplessly: "So what if it doesn't work well? It's a mid-grade weapon after all. It's better than nothing, right?"
Shang Xia asked again: "Girl, do you want to take away the ivory folding fan as well?"
Shang Xi said seriously: "That's right! At this time, we must exert our combat power as much as possible. The best weapons will naturally be in the hands of the strongest person. Your ivory folding fan will be given to Brother Yan Qi."
"who?"
Shang Xia's Tiao Men suddenly raised his voice and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Uncle Qi uses an ivory folding fan?"
A tall and thick man with a full beard, holding an ivory folding fan about a foot long, faced the enemy, and the fan opened and closed "clattering".
When he thought of this scene, Shang Xia couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Shang Xi said helplessly: "Then what can be done? Who told us that our business background is so good that we only have these two free weapons?"
"Who said there are only these two?"
Shang Xia's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Gu, didn't Uncle Quan tell you?"
"What are you talking about? Brother Quan has been so busy these days that I can hardly see anyone."
Shang Xi asked a little strangely: "Where did you get two sharp weapons?"
Shang Xia was about to speak but suddenly stopped, and the aunt and nephew looked outside the shopping building almost at the same time.
"Haha, Brother Quan, are you here?"
The sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps came from far away, and a voice of joy came in before anyone could walk in.
"It's better to come by chance than by chance!"
Shang Xia laughed dumbly, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked over, only to see that Shang Xi had disappeared. He didn't notice at all.
"Brother Quan...hey, Xiaoxia is here, where is your Uncle Quan?"
The visitor found no one all the way from the commercial building, and soon arrived at the martial arts field in the backyard.
Shang Xia saw the person coming and asked with a smile: "Uncle Hong, Uncle Quan is busy these days. Are you looking for him because those three sharp weapons have been repaired?"
The person who came was the only weapons master in the merchant, his name was Duan Hong.
This person has some talent in forging weapons, and has been trained by merchants, hoping to train him into a third-level craftsman who can forge sharp weapons, but he is still only a second-level master craftsman.
Previously, Shang Xia handed over the damaged sharp weapons to Shang Quan, so that he could fight over this matter.
"you know?"
Duan Hong was slightly stunned.
Nonsense, two of those three things are my trophies, how could you not know?
Shang Xia almost rolled his eyes, but still smiled and said: "Uncle Quan has told me, if Uncle Hong repairs those three sharp weapons, just give them to me directly."
"Oh, oh, that's okay too!"
Duan Hong didn't have much doubt. Anyway, there was not much difference between handing it over to Shang Quan and handing it over to Shang Xia.
It's just that he originally wanted to show off his skills and wanted to compete with Shang Quan for a chance to refine sharp weapons, but now he couldn't show it to a half-year-old child.
After handing the three repaired sharp weapons to Shang Xia, he left in a hurry.
Shang Xia unfolded the package in his hand, and Shang Xi appeared quietly beside him, but his eyes were fixed on a pair of cold-light scimitars.
