Chapter 23 Listening to the Blood Building, the old man with a broken sword
After Ye Guchen returned to Shanghe City, he immediately went to the underground market and sold the demon elixirs of many second-level monsters and some precious parts. He obtained more than 1,200 crystal jades, in addition to 900 crystal jades.
To pay off the debt, there are still three hundred crystal jade left.
It really can't be said to be rich.
While selling items, Ye Guchen also got some information.
After Xia Yubing, Song Daozhen, ranked second among the seven geniuses of Tianhe Mansion, also broke through to the Qi Refining Realm and had a competition with Xia Yubing.
Originally, everyone thought it would be a fight between dragons and tigers, but the result was shocking.
Song Dao was defeated miserably!
It was almost equivalent to a one-sided crushing. According to some warriors who had watched this battle, Ye Guchen learned that at the beginning, Xia Yubing and Song Daozhen were still going back and forth, trying to deal with each other's attacks.
Until midfield, Song Daozhen actually performed a spiritual level swordsmanship, and it was not weaker than Xia Yubing's Glacial Swordsmanship.
But then, when Xia Yubing used his sword intention, he was crushed with overwhelming force.
Within three moves, Song Daozhen vomited blood and fell to the ground.
It was also this battle that solidified Xia Yubing's position as the top genius in Tianhe Mansion.
After the war, she said that if Ye Guchen dared to appear at the Ten Houses Elite Meeting in six months, he could be killed with one sword.
Ye Guchen has been cultivating quietly in the Yungu Mountains and naturally has not come forward, so it is rumored that Ye Guchen has shrunk into a corner.
"Use your sword intent and defeat Song Daozhen in three moves." Ye Guchen muttered, with a faint smile on his lips.
He became more interested in the sword intent and the way of swordsmanship in this world.
"I don't know if it's the four kendos I learned in my previous life that are more powerful, or the swordsmanship in this world." Ye Guchen was weighing it, and at the same time he needed a reference.
The Shura Sword Intention in Tingxue Tower is the best reference.
"It seems that I have to join Tingxue Tower to get a chance to enter the Eighteen Blood Prisons. I just don't know who is more powerful between Shura's sword intention and Xia Yubing's sword intention?" Ye Guchen was very curious.
He and Xia Yubing will eventually have a battle, and this battle is obviously not too far away.
Ye Guchen knew that the elite meeting of the Ten Prefectures was a competition between all the geniuses from the ten major prefectures of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
Previously, Ye Guchen was the leader of Tianjiao, and that was only within Tianhe Mansion.
As for the Shengyuan Dynasty, the ten major palaces were so vast, with countless talented people, and the strong fought for hegemony.
Even though Xia Yubing had inherited the sword intent of the North River Sword King and was extremely talented, he might not be able to crush all the geniuses from the top ten prefectures.
The purpose of the Ten Houses Elite Association is to select disciples through trial battles among the many major forces, sects, and schools of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
The geniuses of each of the ten major prefectures will fight with all their strength, trying to win the favor of the big forces and obtain better cultivation resources.
"The Elite Club of the Ten Houses? You must at least break through to the Qi Refining Realm to be eligible to participate. There is still half a year left. With my ability, it is not difficult." Ye Guchen is also very interested in the Elite Club of the Ten Houses.
He is a martial arts fanatic and likes to compete with others and hone his sword skills.
The Ten Houses Elite Club is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
However, there is still half a year before the Ten Houses Elite Meeting, so Ye Guchen doesn't need to worry.
With enough crystal jade, Ye Guchen went directly to Tianzhu Pavilion.
At the entrance of Tianzhu Pavilion, Ye Guchen suddenly stopped.
"Ouch!"
An old and hoarse voice came, and the next moment, a rotten old man stinking of wine rolled out of the Tianzhu Pavilion like a gourd.
The two strong men crossed their arms and looked at the bad old man with disgust.
There was also a maid with a beautiful face, covering her nose and saying in disgust: "Where is this old drunkard from, dares to come to my Tianzhu Pavilion to behave like a fool!"
"Please, old man, I'll sell you this hammer and exchange it for some crystal jade to buy me some wine." The old man had a gray beard and a stinky smell of wine. He held a pitch-black hammer in his dry and rough hand.
.
"Hmph, you dare to ask for ten thousand crystal jade for a broken hammer, why don't you go and grab it!" This maid was the same maid who received Ye Guchen last time.
"Ah...I feel bad without a drink, old man!" The old drunkard was rolling on the ground, but the sharp-eyed Ye Guchen keenly observed that the old man's hands seemed to be somewhat disabled, and seemed quite inflexible.
Although the sword demon has an indifferent nature, such a trivial matter is just a piece of cake.
He stepped forward, walked to the old drunkard, and put down ten pieces of crystal jade.
"You can't buy good wine, but you can still buy dozens of jars of ordinary spirits." Ye Guchen said casually.
"Why should you care about this old drunkard? He..." The maid was about to speak, but her throat seemed to be strangled by someone. She was blocked for a long time before she said: "Ye... Ye Guchen, no, Mr. Ye, you are here.
.”
The maid immediately put on a flattering smile.
After learning Ye Guchen's identity last time, she was quite disgusted and despised towards Ye Guchen.
But now, she heard that Ye Guchen seemed to have started to rebuild, and he could not kill Xia Yubing with one sword. There was also an aunt who was so powerful that he killed the elder of the Bei Family's Soul Realm with one finger.
And because they were afraid of Xuan Su, the Bei family could only swallow their anger for the time being and did not make any big moves.
Naturally, they didn't know that Xuan Su had actually left.
After hearing all kinds of deeds, the maid's attitude towards Ye Guchen underwent a 360-degree change.
Ye Guchen didn't care much about this.
And the old drunkard, after getting ten pieces of crystal jade, just glanced at Ye Guchen and left to drink happily.
Ye Guchen didn't ask for anything in return, just ten crystal jade.
After entering Tianzhu Pavilion, Chu Nanchun came to greet him in person. When Ye Guchen handed over three thousand crystal jade, Chu Nanchun declined politely.
Ye Guchen shook his head secretly, as expected, strength is the key to status.
Having an aunt who can kill the Soul Realm at will, even Ye Guchen is respected by others.
This is the benefit of strength.
However, Ye Guchen never liked to owe others, so he still handed over three thousand crystal jade to Chu Nanchun.
"Ye Xiaoyou, there is less than a month left before the battle of the mineral vein. Miss is looking for other candidates during this period, just in case. After all, I heard that Bei Angelica and Wang Cheng have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm. Of course, Ye Xiaoyou's
The strength is still very strong." Chu Nanchun said peacefully.
Of course, this is just a compliment from Chu Nanchun.
Ye Guchen was able to take Xia Yubing's sword, and his strength should not be underestimated. However, in Chu Nanchun's eyes, he was still not as good as those geniuses who had broken through the Qi Refining Realm.
"I will definitely go to the appointment on time, and the agreement remains the same. If I can't win, I will return the Jie Chen Sword and pay the five thousand crystal jade." Ye Guchen's tone was light, but he seemed to have a winning ticket.
Chu Nanchun secretly sighed that Ye Guchen was overestimating his abilities, but on the surface he was still smiling.
After leaving Tianzhu Pavilion, Ye Guchen came to a shabby house in Shanghe City.
Ye Guchen knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Opening the door casually, a desolate atmosphere rushed in. The courtyard was covered with dead leaves, and an elderly servant was sweeping the dead leaves with a broom.
"Old man, where is your master?" Ye Guchen asked.
"Master? I don't know where I went a long time ago." The old servant shook his head and continued to sweep the fallen leaves.
"Really? Do you recognize this thing?" Ye Guchen took out the blood order from Tingxue Tower.
The old servant was a little confused and said with his dim eyes: "I don't know this thing."
"Oh, is that right? Tangtang Tingxue Tower's deputy landlord doesn't know the Blood Order of Tingxue Tower?" Ye Guchen said in a playful tone.
"Little old man, I don't know what the young master is going to say." The old servant shook his head.
The next moment, Ye Guchen drew his sword. As the sword's edge vibrated, twenty sword waves were superimposed and spread loudly.
The unique skill of vacuum sword wave, overlapping waves!
A burst of transparent sword ripples spread throughout the house, shaking up countless dead leaves.
Among the dead leaves flying, the old servant still stood calmly.
Immediately, a gust of wind blew, and the dead leaves all over the sky turned into powder at the same time and scattered with the wind, leaving no trace.
But the old servant who was also within the attack range of the vacuum sword wave did not have even the corners of his clothes blown.
The old servant dropped the broom and clapped his hands.
"As expected of Ye Guchen, the former young swordsman. His mastery and control of swordsmanship made me amazed. I didn't resist at all, but not even a single sword wave touched me." The old servant sighed.
The dead leaves all around were shattered by the shock, but the old servant had no power at all.
This means that Ye Guchen's control of swordsmanship has reached a level of subtlety.
"It's just a little trick, how can you get into the eyes of the deputy landlord." Ye Guchen slightly cupped his hands.
The inconspicuous old servant in front of him is suddenly the deputy owner of Tingxue Tower, Old Canjian, a strong man with unfathomable strength.
The reason why Ye Guchen knew that Old Man Canjian was here was because the messenger from Tingxue Tower told him that Old Man Canjian admired him very much and wanted to invite him to join Tingxue Tower and become his disciple.
"Ye Guchen, I originally intended for you to join Tingxue Tower, but you never paid attention to it. Now that you are here, your sword veins are completely useless, and your innate sword embryo has been taken away. I didn't want to pay attention to you at first, but the swordsmanship you just showed
, which made me hesitate again." Old Canjian sighed.
"It is an honor for Ye to be so favored by the deputy building owner. However, the reason why Ye wants to join Tingxue Tower is for the Shura Sword Intent." Ye Guchen said it very straightforwardly and without any disguise.
"Haha, Shura Sword Intent..." Old Canjian burst into laughter as if he had heard something funny.
"Why are the deputy landlords laughing?" Ye Guchen frowned.
"You are too naive to laugh at me. There are quite a few people who have joined me in Listening to the Blood Tower for the purpose of Shura Sword Intent, but there are no people who can really break through the Eighteen Blood Prisons, except for the owner of the building!" Can Jian
The old man shook his head.
"Is it that difficult?" Ye Guchen raised his eyebrows slightly.
It can be said that the owner of Tingxue is extremely mysterious. Very few people have seen his true face. They don’t even know his posthumous name or whether he is a boy or a girl.
"Oh, there are many tests in the Eighteen Blood Prisons. The realm of cultivation is only one aspect. The most difficult one is the test of the soul's will. If the will is not strong, not only will it not be able to comprehend the Shura Sword Intent, but it will suffer backlash and fall into madness.
, and become a madman who only knows how to kill people." Old Can Jian sneered.
"You won't know until you try it." Ye Guchen showed no fear at all.
"If you want to join Tingxue Tower, you have only one way, which is to defeat her." Old Canjian pointed at Ye Guchen's back.
A bloody dagger stabbed Ye Guchen in the back of the neck silently!
