Guangling Mansion, on the top floor of a certain inn.
Chen Yuan and Shangguan Yu stood with their hands folded, looking at the rolling Guangling River in the distance.
After the murder of Zhao Hao was completed, the two of them did not stay any longer. At Shangguan Yu's invitation, he followed him to the restaurant here.
The restaurant is named Wangjiang Pavilion, also named because it can see the Guangling River outside the city.
It is the best restaurant in Guangling Mansion and even in several nearby states. It is only open to warriors. It is divided into four floors. The bottom floor is available to foundation-building warriors, the second condensation warrior is available, and the third floor is available to Tongxuan warriors.
The top floor where they are located is usually not open to the public and can only be enjoyed by Dan Realm masters.
As for why they were able to cross over, it was naturally because Wangjiang Pavilion here was the property of the Shangguan clan. As the legitimate son, Shangguan Yu still had this right.
Furthermore, inviting Chen Yuan is not considered a loss of status.
The top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are definitely qualified to enter the top floor.
As for Yue Shan and others, they were arranged below.
As expected, this place is only open to grand masters. It is decorated in an antique style and every place is extremely exquisite. Even the incense used is a refreshing incense, which is of great value.
"Brother Chen, how do you feel about this scene?"
Shangguan Yu asked softly.
"Yes, Brother Shangguan has found a good place."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly.
Shangguan Yu was very polite in his words and deeds. He did not go overboard with Chen Yuan in the slightest, nor was he arrogant in the slightest. His temperament was just a little colder than Chen Yuan's.
But this is more suitable for his status as the legitimate son of the Shangguan family.
And this is the cultivation of children of aristocratic families.
Those who are arrogant, look at others with their noses, and are arrogant and domineering are those who have no future in martial arts and are doted on by their elders, so they give up on themselves.
Anyone who pursues something is basically aware of etiquette.
Even if there is hatred in one's heart, it usually won't show on the face.
After watching for a while by the window, the two chatted for a while, talking about some of the recent events in the world. Among them, Shangguan Yu also asked a few more about things in Tangshan Mansion.
He expressed that he liked Chen Yuan's behavior very well.
In response, Chen Yuan just smiled.
As they talked and talked about what happened today, Shangguan Yu said with a smile that today Chen Yuan killed Zhao Hao with his sword and fought with Bai Changqing to no avail, which will definitely cause some trouble in Shuzhou.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Bai Changqing had a great reputation in Shuzhou, and the news that Chen Yuan had a deadlock with him was spreading in Shuzhou at a hurricane-like speed.
And Chen Yuan's name finally broke out of Qingzhou and officially began to spread on a large scale in Shuzhou. When he was in the top ten of the Qianlong list, it shocked the world.
But basically most people, especially those outside Qingzhou, only mention it a few words when they think of it.
Many people were waiting to see his joke, thinking that he would not be able to hold on to his seventh position on the Qianlong Ranking, but after the news of this fight spread,
Everyone will feel that he is worthy of his reputation.
It is equivalent to this time that he really showed his fangs through Bai Changqing's reputation. Basically, all the top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List began to understand his information.
More or less just...
"sit."
Shangguan Yu took the lead and sat opposite Chen Yuan, stretched out his hand and said.
Chen Yuan was not polite and sat down directly.
Reaching out to pick up the teapot, Shangguan Yu poured two cups of tea. A refreshing aroma of spiritual energy hit his nostrils, making him energetic. Chen Yuan took a sip and his eyes lit up.
The spiritual tea used to entertain the alchemy master is indeed extraordinary. It is the best spiritual tea he has ever drunk. As for Jiang He and Zhang Xuan,
What he drank was Yuci Lingjiu, which was different.
"Qingcha is a humble house, please don't blame Chen Qing." Shangguan Yu said modestly.
Chen Yuan: "If these are just humble tea rooms, there probably won't be any extravagant places in the world."
After two jokes, the two looked at each other, the corners of their mouths raised, and Shangguan Yu suddenly asked in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid Brother Chen will also go to this year's Immortal Climbing Battle, right?"
"Chen has always practiced alone. He has always wanted to meet the world's heroes. The immortal battle is a good excuse, so Chen will naturally not stop going."
Faced with Chen Yuan's answer, Shangguan Yu was not surprised. In fact, before Chen Yuan became famous in the world in a short period of time and bucked the trend and climbed into the top ten of the Qianlong list,
Many people have already speculated that his goal is to fight as an immortal.
"It's a pity. If it were the Climbing Competition in previous years, there would still be a glimmer of hope to enter the top five or even the top three, but this time... I'm afraid I won't even be able to squeeze into the top ten."
Shangguan Yu suddenly sighed.
"Brother Shangguan is already ranked eighth, how come you can't even crack the top ten?" Chen Yuan asked pretending not to know.
Sure enough, after Chen Yuan finished speaking, Shangguan Yu replied:
"Brother Chen is joking, you know the real situation, why bother pretending not to understand? This battle to ascend to the immortal world is probably the most difficult one in the past hundred years.
The top three on the Hidden Dragon Ranking simply don't look like Tongxuan warriors. Coupled with other masters who hide their strength, or dark horses like Brother Chen, there is little hope. "
"Brother Shangguan is humbled."
Chen Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip and smiled.
"It's not self-effacing, it's just self-awareness. Zuo Chengzong is born with a thunder body, and Zhu Xie retreats. If he explodes with all his strength, even a master in the Dan Realm will be able to kill him.
Monk Xuanming is physically invincible and is most likely the reincarnation of a great power. Wei Wuya possesses a demonic eye. When he opens it, there is nothing to hide..."
"Also, Brother Chen has risen rapidly and is now on par with Bai Changqing. If he breaks through the Heavenly Palace, he must be a very powerful being. With you here, how can we not make people despair?"
Finally, Shangguan Yu praised Chen Yuan again, but it was a pity that he did not accept this trick.
"Brother Shangguan is joking. Chen is just a middle-aged man. He is just mediocre. How can he be compared with the top three?" Chen Yuan smiled.
Although he said this, there was a strong sense of confidence in his words.
Shangguan Yu could sense this, and he wasn't surprised. Who among the top ten people on the Qianlong List, including him, didn't have some confidence?
What he said was just a preparation for what was to come next.
"Brother Chen, we have become old friends at first sight. I wonder if I can ask a question?" He looked at Chen Yuan with burning eyes and asked.
Chen Yuan's eyelids drooped. If it were someone else, he would naturally reply. Since he knew it was presumptuous, he wouldn't ask. But after all, he is short-tongued and Shangguan Yu is not annoying, so he immediately said:
"Brother Shangguan, feel free to ask?"
"Brother Chen was born in poverty, but he has been able to reach today step by step. There are rumors in the world that Brother Chen is actually from some hidden ancient clan or hidden sect. Is it true?"
Shangguan Yu stared at Chen Yuan without blinking, as if he could see through whether he was hiding anything.
There are not without examples of geniuses like Chen Yuan who suddenly rose to fame. There are indeed such hidden forces in the world. At least the Shangguan clan knows about several of them.
But there was no one named Chen among them, so he was still quite curious.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I will never let this news out." Shangguan Yu then assured.
Chen Yuan looked at him, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile without hesitation: "What if it spreads out, Chen is not a hidden ancient clan, this is a fact, even if Brother Shangguan doesn't look at it, the world can Are there any descendants of the ancient clan who started out as policemen?"
Shangguan Yu's eyes flickered. This was indeed a doubtful point. Generally speaking, those forces in the hidden world were unwilling to get involved with the imperial court, let alone directly enter the imperial court.
"As for Chen's strength, haha... I am able to get to where I am today, all thanks to my own efforts, because I know that strength is everything in this world!
Chen has an ordinary appearance and average talent. He has no choice but to practice hard. "
He was indeed right. He was able to achieve today's achievements all by himself, and the Luck Altar was just a support... Yes, that's it.
He, Chen Yuan, did not cheat!
Chen Yuan directly denied it, which actually made Shangguan Yu more suspicious. He felt that his background must be extraordinary or that there might be powerful forces behind him. Otherwise, how could he rise so quickly? And Jiang He directly gave him the elixir to protect himself.
However, he did not continue to ask.
The other party has already denied it, so it would be a bit shady to ask further.
Chen Yuan had no choice about this, so he just let him think.
It would seem to be beneficial to him if he could spread himself a little more mysteriously, at least to scare away some people who had evil intentions towards him.
Shangguan Yu chuckled lightly, and the two began to change the subject, talking about astronomy, geography, and each other's opinions on martial arts.
The other party was worthy of being a disciple of the famous family, and he helped Chen Yuan a lot. From his mouth, he also learned some information about the Five Surnames and Seven Sects.
Of course, Chen Yuan sometimes hit the nail on the head, which made Shangguan Yu feel that inviting Chen Yuan was not a bad idea.
The two chatted happily, and the more they chatted, the more they became more and more attracted to each other.
Shangguan Yu talks more about the general trend of the world, while Chen Yuan can often come up with some very insightful words with his extraordinary eyesight and thoughts that are not in line with this world.
This is the truth...
Only warriors of the same level can be regarded as discussing the Tao. If one has a higher realm or a lower realm, it can only be regarded as giving advice.
While talking, Chen Yuan inadvertently mentioned Mount Emei.
Shangguan Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Chen is interested in Mount Emei?"
"I'm just a little curious." Chen Yuan put down his wine glass and smiled.
"Isn't it just as simple as curiosity?"
He looked at Chen Yuan with a half-smile and said.
Looking at the other party's smile, Chen Yuan knew that Mount Emei should not be that simple, otherwise Shangguan Yu would never act like this and then said:
“I heard that the scenery on Mount Emei is pretty good, and I want to see it.”
"Think about it, Brother Chen is going for the wordless monument on the top of Mount Emei, right?" Shangguan Yu didn't sell it, and spoke of the opportunity guided by the altar of luck.
Chen Yuan was shocked and nodded with a smile.
"I wonder how much Brother Shangguan knows about that monument?"
Since the other party revealed the Heavenly Monument, he naturally has nothing to hide.
"What I know are just rumors."
"Appreciate further details."
"It is said that during the time of the great Chu Dynasty, there was a strong casual cultivator. When he was young, he received the inheritance of a warrior on Mount Emei. Later, the strong man was out of control, and his cultivation gradually reached an unfathomable level. .
Not to mention the world's most powerful person, he was definitely a rare master. But later, this person seemed to have offended some enemy and hurt his origin. He was buried in Mount Emei before his life span was over.
He also left a monument in the sky, saying that there is an immortal fate hidden in it, and if you can understand it, you will have an opportunity. "
"When this news first started, it caused a turmoil in the world, causing countless warriors to compete for the wordless sky tablet. Later, a real person from Huayang won. When he was about to take away the sky tablet, he seemed to have noticed something and panicked. After leaving Mount Emei, someone went to seek confirmation. He said that there was a demon suppressed at the foot of Mount Emei, and that the monument was the eye of the formation.
If the monument is pulled out, all living beings will be destroyed..."
Later, people verified that this statement was false. A large formation was set up on that monument and it was connected to the entire Emei Mountain. It could not be taken away unless one had the strength to reach the heaven and the earth. "
"After that, there were countless warriors who went to Mount Emei to understand the destiny of immortality, such as the Lord of the Crossing River. However, after many years, no one was able to understand anything.
As time goes by, the number of people who go to Mount Emei to seek enlightenment has become increasingly rare. Only some casual cultivators with little inheritance will go there with hope, but they all return without success. "
"Hundreds of years have passed, and Mount Emei has not appeared in the world. Only some rumors have leaked..."
Shangguan Yu roughly told what he knew about the situation.
He also learned about it because of the records in the Shangguan clan's classics.
After listening, Chen Yuan couldn't help but frowned and asked:
"Brother Shangguan, is this true?"
"Brother Chen, for reference, I actually don't know what the real situation is. These are the situations recorded in the clan, or they are just rumors.
Over the years, there have been many legends surrounding Mount Emei. "
"What's the real situation?"
"I'll tell you the truth, Brother Chen. When I was young, I was arrogant and thought that others were stupid if they couldn't understand something. I must be able to do it myself, but I was disappointed after a trip to Mount Emei."
"The Emei Mountain Range is neither high nor short. It is normal. The energy of the surrounding world is thin and not suitable for warriors to practice. As for the so-called wordless sky tablet, in my opinion, it is just a piece of ordinary stone. Well... except for being slightly harder. .”
"I don't know whether it is true or not that it is connected with the formation. I tried to move this stone, but failed. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people going to Mount Emei, and most of them are just some Orion villagers at the foot of the mountain.
If Brother Chen is going for the Sky Monument, it's best not to have high hopes. " Shangguan Yu advised sincerely.
What he said was his own personal experience and was not adulterated.
"Thank you, Brother Shangguan, for informing me. In fact, Chen really just went to Mount Emei to have a look. To be honest, I went here because I was entrusted by someone to go there to find an old friend."
When it comes to lying, Chen Yuan doesn't need to think twice and just speaks.
"Brother Chen, if you have time, you can go up there and learn. I don't know if you can really learn anything..." Shangguan Yu laughed as he spoke.
There are countless people who have come to comprehend it over the past hundreds of years. Chen Yuan is not God's biological son, so how can he really comprehend something?
This is absolutely impossible!
