Chapter 154 The growth of earth veins and the completion of swordsmanship(1/4)
President Pan left.
Meng Zhou was still thinking about Hongliang Bay.
In the past, there were invisible barriers between different spiritual veins, just like different feudal states.
On the surface, the formation of this barrier is naturally formed by factors such as the independence of different spiritual veins, their distance from each other, and their different characteristics.
But these are only superficial reasons. The real reason is "the will of the people."
Like a monster that occupies a mountain and is king, it will use various methods to leave its presence in the territory, mark its ownership, threaten and expel those foreign monsters.
The invisible barriers surrounding each spiritual vein are like a fence created by the forces within the spiritual vein, demarcating the inside and outside, and thereby further consolidating the status and power of one's own forces within the spiritual vein, and subtly
of rationalization.
If an outsider wants to force his way into the "fence", that is an invasion.
It is neither reasonable nor unreasonable.
Now, with the complete change of the entire foundation-building ecology within the Qingxuan Domain, these invisible barriers are suffering a huge impact.
Although the specific methods of Cuiyu Lake and Hongliang Bay are different, the final result is that the invisible barrier becomes a thing of the past after a fierce impact.
Other spiritual veins, including Sanchuanyuan and Bixueyuan, suffered a milder impact.
But this gentleness is just an appearance, and it may turn into another fierce impact at any time.
No matter the specific process, as far as the result is concerned, it is already destined.
That is, all "fences" will eventually disappear.
This is the current irreversible trend of Qingxuan Domain.
Thinking about this in his mind, Meng Zhou gained a clearer understanding of Qingxuanzong's goals.
Finally, before ending his thoughts, an idea suddenly came to Meng Zhou's mind.
"President Pan came here this time just to say this for me?"
"What is his purpose?"
Meng Zhou didn't believe it. He really just suddenly wanted to come and sit here casually.
The relationship between the two is far from this level of familiarity.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou shook his head again.
"The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Why do you think so much?"
Even if President Pan really has something on his mind, he will eventually say it himself.
Meng Zhou was even a little curious in his heart as to what the old man was holding in his stomach.
The rapid improvement of his cultivation level, along with the confidence in Meng Zhou's heart, also increased rapidly.
When he first came to Sanchuanyuan, he might have been nervous about the extra attention from people like the Sanchuan Society or Dai Shouli.
But now, there are not many forces in Qingxuan Domain that can make him nervous.
And among them, people like President Pan of the Sanchuan Society and Dai Shouli must not be included.
Meng Zhou guessed that President Pan might have realized that he was somewhat extraordinary.
Although Meng Zhou was a little surprised by this, he was not very surprised.
As his strength boosted his confidence, he was consciously and rhythmically showing off his genius side in his "circle of friends".
He has the concept in his heart that hiding oneself requires a degree of control. It is not a good thing to hide oneself too thoroughly.
Let others see some of your own extraordinary qualities. As long as you control the rhythm and make sure that your own strength can handle it, it will not be a trouble, but will bring you more convenience.
In the eyes of others, this is more reasonable and natural.
Therefore, Meng Zhou guessed that President Pan probably knew about his unusualness from Kan Yue or Zhu Qian, or both of them.
During his visit this time, he probably wanted to touch his bottom personally.
In the end, Meng Zhou shook his head, put the matter aside completely, and continued to practice the "Thirty-six Sword Control Styles".
By the end of mid-November, the Thirty-six Styles of Sword Control had gained more than 5,000 points of experience and were promoted from minor to dacheng.
"The Thirty-six Styles of Sword Control 4800/6000".
…
In late November, the experience gained from the Thirty-six Styles of the Sword was improved compared to the first half of November, and the breakthrough from Dacheng to Master was completed.
"Master of the Thirty-six Styles of the Sword 4400/12000"
In early December, I gained more than 6,000 experience points in the Thirty-Six Styles of Sword Control, completing most of the accumulation at the master level.
On the eighth day of December, President Pan paid another visit, chatted with Meng Zhou for an hour or two and then left with a smile.
Although Meng Zhou still didn't understand what kind of medicine the old man was selling in his gourd, he could feel that this old guy didn't have any ill intentions.
Moreover, this old guy has far wider sources of information than Kan Yue and others, and his vision is broader. Chatting with him, Meng Zhou has a clearer and more thorough understanding of the situation in the Qingxuan Territory.
…
December 13th. Early morning.
Cultivation progress +40, foundation building seventh floor 340/1000;
Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart +800, Grandmaster 26400/32000.
…
On the 14th, he completed the accumulation of the thirty-six moves of the sword and was promoted to the master level.
…
15th. Morning.
After practicing the thirty-six movements of sword control for a while, Meng Zhou Tudun left the courtyard.
When he "emerged" from a certain street in Sanchuan City, dozens of miles away, he had already transformed into a stranger.
He went straight to the black market trading area, and after entering the formation shielding area, he put the black mud mask on his face.
After walking out of the formation shielding area, a black market street came into view.
Although he had expected it, Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel startled when he saw the stalls neatly arranged along the street and the pedestrians passing by.
His expression was as usual, but he was muttering in his heart: "It seems that the reputation of Michuanyuan's black market has already been established."
This is Meng Zhou’s second visit to the black market, but it has been open for the fifth time since last year.
Previously, at the gathering at the Kan Yue family, Meng Zhou already knew that the participants in this black market were no longer limited to building foundations in the Sanchuan Plain.
Every time the market opens, it will even attract a large number of people from other places to build foundations. Their only purpose of coming to Sanchuanyuan is the black market.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After participating in the black market transaction, he didn't even stay for a moment, as if he was afraid of getting more involved with Mikawahara.
In this regard, both Kan Yue, the direct manager, and the Sanchuan Society, the "protective umbrella", have very clear attitudes. As long as they do not cause trouble in Sanchuan Plain, they can come and go freely.
Because of the participation of these people, the black market has become more and more lively, and the types of products have become more and more abundant.
Meng Zhou saw the end of the street from the street, then turned to the other side, and wandered from the end of the street to the street again.
Other items were ignored by him, and he only paid attention to the sales of various classics and jade slips.
Compared with the first time, there are more stallholders selling various kinds of inherited jade slips, and the sales methods have become more standardized.
There are stall owners who specialize in all kinds of inherited jade slips. Not only are they large in quantity, but customers can choose freely.
There will never be forced bundling like last year.
For example, in the jade slip that Meng Zhou bought last year, four spells were prepared in advance. If you want to buy it, you have to buy it together. The price is naturally the same as the price of the four spells.
But now, the stall owner has prepared a directory, and customers can just choose the inherited method they need, just like ordering dishes, and don't want anything else.
Seeing such changes, Meng Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
"With the fierce infighting among the stall owners, this change came faster than I expected."
Seeing this situation, Meng Zhou, who originally planned to buy some inherited jade slips, was not in a hurry.
He is still studying the true meaning of swordsmanship. Even if he buys it now, if he really wants to get started, that will be next year.
In this case, it is not too late to wait until the next black market opens to buy again.
With this idea in mind, Meng Zhou did not buy the inherited jade slips. Instead, he bought many paper classics.
After eliminating all the classics he had purchased last year, Meng Zhou bought more than 300 classics, spending only three high-grade spiritual stones in total.
Judging from the list alone, at least nearly a hundred of them were actively "contributed" by local forces in the Sanchuan Plain.
This is also a very interesting change.
In the beginning, these forces kept such classics as treasures and could not read them except their core members.
If other people in the clan want to take a look at these classics, even if they don't go through nine or eighty-one difficulties, they will definitely have to spend a lot of time.
But as there are more and more similar classics on the market, although they are not exactly the same, as long as there are enough, the "untold secrets" they treasure will become more and more transparent.
And with channels like the black market and the prices being so cheap, the non-core "members" of their clan would probably be more willing to spend some spiritual stones to buy books on the black market than continue to make them look bad.
As a result, the accumulation of information that they once treasured and regarded as "untold secrets" is really worthless except for being put here to exert some residual heat.
The addition of these collections has further enriched the number and types of such classics in the black market, and in turn has become an "accomplice" to this trend.
"When you are pursued by others, you are noble and cold-hearted, and you have made many people fail to get what they want."
"Now people don't care about you anymore. Instead, you sell it yourself. It's still so cheap."
