Chen Xi smiled slightly and stabbed out with his sword.@
Whoosh!
The purple bamboo branch seemed to have life in Chen Xi's hand, emitting a chilling and sharp sword intent, taking advantage of the wind, sea and rain, to kill.
Wow!
Time and space were like a scroll, torn apart into a straight line, pointing straight at the young man.
Um?
The young man's eyes narrowed, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi would do it right away.
Subconsciously, he drew his sword and struck down.
Bang!
What is shocking is that the bamboo branch that Chen Xi clearly used caused the ancient bronze sword in the young man's hand to buzz continuously in a head-on collision.
"snort!"
The young man's face darkened. He didn't take advantage of this attack at all, which made him feel angry.
He was just a young man who had just advanced to the Ancestral God Realm, and he was using a bamboo branch. It would be too embarrassing if he couldn't be subdued.
Whoosh!
However, before he could react, Chen Xi stabbed out his sword again. The purple bamboo branches were like lightning, like light, and like the ethereal wind. Suddenly, it pointed directly at the young man's eyebrows.
Too fast!
The young man had no time to dodge, so he could only resist with his sword horizontally.
There was a bang, and he was shaken so much that he staggered back a few steps. This made his face become darker again, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
The other party was so aggressive that he didn't take himself seriously. It was really too much!
Buzz!
The ancient bronze sword in his palm chanted loudly, steaming with divine radiance, and he took the initiative to kill.
But in just an instant, all his movements came to an abrupt halt, and his whole body froze there, with a dull look on his face.
Because a piece of purple bamboo had been pressed against his throat at some point. It was only an inch away and could easily pierce his throat!
All the monks nearby were shocked.
From the beginning to the end of this confrontation, it only took a few breaths, and Chen Xi only stabbed three swords and defeated his opponent in one fell swoop!
All this happened too fast, and the power of the sword demonstrated by Chen Xi was beyond their imagination.
Fortunately, this was just a sparring match. Both sides restrained themselves and did not use all their strength. Instead, they simply chose to compete with each other on the strength of the sword. Otherwise, if they went all out to fight, this purple bamboo forest would probably be destroyed in an instant.
The atmosphere was dead silent and silent.
Drops of cold sweat like soybeans dripped from the young man's forehead and streaked across his cheeks.
His face looked extremely ugly, he remained motionless, and his eyes were full of disbelief. It only took three swords, but he was defeated!?
This was unacceptable to him. He had been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child and was obsessed with kendo. Since his practice, kendo has become an inseparable part of his life.
It is precisely because of this persistence that as early as a thousand years ago, he reached the level of Sword King in one fell swoop. He shocked the world and was hailed as a great and dazzling figure on the road of swordsmanship.
But he was the only one who knew that after advancing to the realm of the Sword King, his understanding of the way of the sword fell into a state of stagnation.
No matter how hard he tried and how many experts he consulted, he could not completely solve this problem.
So, with the help of an old antique, he finally arrived here and wanted to ask the Taichu Guanzhu.
However, he never expected that he would be defeated by a young man holding a purple bamboo and fighting!
Moreover, he was defeated in one fell swoop in the art of swordsmanship that he was best at and most proud of!
All of this gave him an extremely heavy blow, and almost made him question the swordsmanship he had been dedicated to his entire life.
how so?
Why?
The same doubts kept echoing in his heart, and his eyes became more and more confused.
"Hmph! A swordsman would rather break than bend, and never be beaten. With your little endurance, how can you still talk about the art of swordsmanship?" Suddenly, Lao Bai snorted coldly.
It was like a thunder exploded in his ears, causing the young man to suddenly wake up from his depressed and confused mood.
He couldn't help but gasp for breath, and he was still frightened. He knew that because he was too obsessed with the sword, he had unknowingly harbored a trace of inner demons. Now, after suffering such a heavy blow, his mind was shaken, and he almost went crazy.
If Lao Bai hadn't uttered the truth and awakened him, all his moral conduct would have been lost.
"Accepted."
Chen Xi glanced at the other party and casually threw away the piece of purple bamboo in his hand.
"I lost."
The young man was dejected.
Everyone was also worried, but when they looked at Chen Xi, there was a hint of shock in their eyes.
They had all concluded that Chen Xi's cultivation in swordsmanship was at least far superior to that of that young man. However, no one dared to make a conclusion by how much.
"Whenever you get over failure, when will your understanding of the way of the sword break through again, and you'll never let it go."
Lao Bai said lightly and ignored the young man.
"Thanks for the advice."
The young man was silent for a long time, his expression suddenly became calm, and he looked at Chen Xi: "Fellow Taoist, may I ask if you can accept me as your disciple?"
One sentence immediately caused everyone to explode. Is this guy crazy?
"cannot."
Chen Xi answered directly without hesitation, but the next words made the young man's eyes suddenly brighten.
"You have your way, and I have mine. You can try to surpass me. I'm waiting for that day to come."
"Okay! I will definitely do it."
The young man took a deep breath, his expression became firm, and he turned around and walked away.
"Fellow Taoist, my name is Ren Huanyu. One day, I will come to you again. At that time... I will learn your swordsmanship again!"
"Ren Huanyu? That's a pretty good name."
Chen Xi smiled and disagreed. It was not easy to surpass himself.
…
As soon as Ren Huanyu left, the atmosphere in the venue did not become silent. Instead, it became restless. Many cultivators could not wait.
"Fellow Taoist, I have three magical medicines here that meet your requirements. Please enlighten me."
"Let me come first. I have seven kinds of magical materials that meet the requirements. What's more, I can get here earlier than you. Even if you queue up, I will come first."
"Don't make any noise, let me come first."
Many cultivators shouted and rushed towards Lao Bai, scrambling to be the first.
After what happened with the man in the animal skin and Ren Huanyu, they were convinced of Lao Bai's methods, and now they would no longer choose to sit back and watch.
There was a person with a clear mind who handed all the divine materials he possessed to Chen Xi and said: "Fellow Taoist, five of the divine materials are what you need, and some other gadgets are my thoughts. Please give them to me."
Accept it."
Of course, this person became Lao Bai's third target.
The more the scene and excitement became, the more proud Lao Bai became. He held his head high and put his hands behind his back, feeling extremely proud and proud.
"Don't fight, everyone with magical talents will line up one by one. Ancestor, I will make an exception today and give you guidance one by one."
"As for those fellow Taoists who don't have any magical talents, don't worry. You can just take some treasures as rewards, but you can only be at the end of the queue. When the time comes, Ancestor, I will give you different guidance depending on the situation."
Lao Bai was frothing and gesticulating at a group of cultivators, as if he was pointing out the country and scolding Fang Qiu, which was a great sight.
Surprisingly, however, those cultivators were not dissatisfied. Apparently they were worried that they would offend Lao Bai and not be able to get advice.
This made Chen Xi and Empress Yu Che sigh in despair. A group of ascetics with unpredictable origins and extraordinary backgrounds, some of whom even existed in the emperor realm, were now treated submissively by an old bird full of problems.
, it’s really impressive.
However, Lao Bai can be regarded as having real talent and knowledge. In just a few words, he solved the problems faced by those ascetics and gave him sharp pointers, which made his image in the minds of those ascetics even higher.
Many monks even cried with joy after receiving guidance and called Lao Bai "guru". The scene was very touching.
In short, the atmosphere that followed seemed very solemn and sacred. Each of the monks looked at Lao Bai with admiration like a Taoist disciple listening to the supreme decree, and almost knelt down to worship.
As for Lao Bai, he also looked like a master who was chatting and laughing, but Chen Xi could tell that this old bird was probably bubbling with pride.
…
"My dear, that bird is amazing."
Far far away in the Purple Bamboo Forest, at some point, the empress and Huicong were already standing there. Looking at Lao Bai instructing the monks, Hui Cong couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It is indeed extraordinary, Huicong. Have you ever heard that there is a kind of spiritual being in this world. It was born in chaos and was born with a nine-aperture exquisite heart. With a little practice, it can be knowledgeable about the past and the present, know the world's affairs, and clearly discern the world's laws. It is known as
Master of all spirits."
The empress's voice was calm, with a hint of meaning.
Huicong was surprised and said: "Mother, is it the bird you are talking about?"
"Even if you miss, you're not far off."
The empress did not deny it.
For a moment, Huicong couldn't help but froze and murmured: "Since it is so powerful, how can it only have the cultivation level of the Spiritual God Realm?"
"The number of great avenues will make up for the shortcomings. Talents that are too heaven-defying will eventually be jealous of heaven."
The empress said calmly, then turned around and left, "Come back with me. The little guy has worked so hard. We should prepare some things."
"But you want to refine the 'Life Wheel Spiritual Wisdom Pill'?"
Huicong quickly chased after him.
"It's too early."
…
A full seven days.
With Lao Bai's sharp tongue, he finally sent all those ascetics away.
What left Chen Xi speechless was that Lao Bai kept chattering for seven days and seven nights. He seemed not to be tired at all. Until now, when everything came to an end, he still looked like he was still unfinished and lost.
Talkative, how lonely this old bird must have been!
"It's a pity that I barely managed to gather more than 20 kinds of divine materials, and there are still more than 80 kinds of divine materials that I haven't been able to collect." Empress Yu Che counted Lao Bai's "trophies" in the past seven days, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It's pretty good. At least in addition to these, I also collected a lot of other divine treasures and completed the first mission. It's already very rare."
Chen Xi smiled.
Empress Yu Che nodded and asked, "Then what do you plan to do next?"
Chen Xi said thoughtfully: "Yu Che, do you still remember the 'Linlang Treasure Market'?"
