As the sky grew dark, Wei Geng simply sat down at the roadside pavilion and said with a straight face: "The Chongguang Continent stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and the Jiayuan Kingdom is located in the southeast. It is the smallest of the five Chongguang Kingdoms."
"Luoxiao Mountain is located in the middle of Jiayuan, with two major sects in the east and west. The secret realm of Weikui is located at the intersection of the two sects."
"Yunxiao Sect is in the east, Dayuemen is in the west, the north belongs to the territory of the Blood Sword Sect, and the Seven Evils Alliance occupies the hot and humid south."
"The four major sects are located in the west of Jiayuan Kingdom, and the vast east is where the mortal world is."
After Wei Geng finished speaking, he made a few strokes on the stone floor and drew a sketch.
"The boundaries of the four major sects are shaped like the word "Gong". The upper horizontal line is to the north of the Blood Sword Sect, the lower horizontal line is to the south of the Qisha League, the left side of the vertical line is the Big Moon Gate, and the right side is the Yunxiao Sect."
"And Weikui Cliff is located slightly north of the vertical center point." Wei Geng gestured.
Xue Tong nodded repeatedly: "Disciple, I understand."
He then asked: "From what Uncle Wei said, the Weikui Secret Realm is a geomantic treasure land. Is it possible that I want my disciples to go there to hunt for treasures?"
"No way! The secret portal appears once every five years. It's still too early, and besides, your cultivation level is not enough." Wei Geng said.
"The Blood Sword Sect and the Seven Evils Alliance cannot reach the secret realm. Will they feel jealous because of this?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"Of course we will. Our sect has good relations with Dayue Sect, and the other two sects have been coveting the secret realm for a long time. You can imagine their relationship with us." Wei Geng frowned and said helplessly.
"You don't need to worry about these things for now. Let's practice cultivation. We'll talk about it later." Wei Geng's expression calmed down and he said.
…
During the three-day schedule of the Wushu Competition, the handyman disciple group was uneventful. Xiong Jing and Peng Tai won two games in a row, and entered the top ten with a total of three wins.
Xue Tong focused on watching the outer martial arts competition and learning the experience and skills of the "masters".
The third game in the afternoon was between Hong Tianyou and Huang Qing.
The atmosphere between the two was subtle. Huang Qing hated Hong Tianyou for his incompetence in doing things and failed to kill Xue Tong, so he was expelled from the Deacon Hall. Hong Tianyou disapproved of Huang Qing's behavior and was glad that he was wise and escaped unscathed. .
Huang Qing laughed and said politely, "Please be merciful, Manager Hong, and don't hesitate to teach me."
Hong Tianyou's eyes narrowed, he made a gesture of invitation, and waited patiently. He knew that Huang Qing had a pair of sharp bone-picking knives and was famous for his speed.
A group of green shadows rolled towards him, dotted with a few streaks of silver light. Huang Qing's seven consecutive swords converged into a surging cold and sharp sword energy.
Hong Tianyou's set of "Polu Swords" has been refined to the fourth level. A red glow surged up close to him, and the sharp sword light of his two bone-cutting swords spread out in the glow as if they had hit a huge rock in the middle of the river.
The two men were entangled in the light and shadow of swords, and their figures gradually blurred. The iron-hard yellow granite table was scratched with marks, and the dust raised made it increasingly difficult to see the two people fighting.
Only a few spectators with higher magic power could barely see clearly. In the light and shadow, Huang Qing moved faster and his sword skills were agile and elegant, while Hong Tianyou's magic power was slightly higher and his sword power was simple and steady. Huang Qing was often forced to defeat him at critical moments. If you give up and try to make up for it, you will return without success.
After a fierce battle for a long time, Hong Tianyou retreated sharply, tapped his pocket, and three black projectiles shot out in three directions: upper, middle, and lower.
"Can explosive bombs be fired?" the new spectator asked in confusion. Xue Tong also became suspicious. Explosive bombs, an offensive weapon with wide damage and high intensity, are allowed to be used in martial arts with the same sect?
"Yes! But two conditions must be met. One is that the explosives are self-made by oneself, and the other is that one cannot use tactics that lead to mutual destruction, such as getting close to the opponent and detonating hidden explosives."
"Hong Tianyou has been involved in the quarry for more than ten years. He specializes in mountain bombing and quarrying. He is good at making bombs and has made a lot of money in these years."
Looking at the arena again, the explosive bullet did not reach Huang Qing, but plunged into a huge drop of water from Lan Wangwang.
"Lazy water?!" the spectators shouted.
The explosive bomb seemed to have penetrated into a ball of extremely viscous air, and its speed immediately slowed down. It was blocked by the water film and circled wildly along the film wall, spinning continuously.
Hong Tianyou's eyes flashed sharply, and he waved his hand to shoot out three white lights, hitting the explosive bomb and artificially triggering the explosion.
"Boom!"
Fire smoke and dust rose into the sky, and inert water droplets exploded into a confused mist.
Smoke and flames filled the air, but six steel crossbows suddenly came out of it. When Hong Tianyou realized in surprise, they were already close at hand.
At the moment when Hong Tianyou triggered the explosion, Huang Qing used the cover of smoke to shoot a pack of six black-gold steel crossbows.
Xue Tong's heart sank, "It's over!"
With a soft sound, Hong Tianyou's body was suddenly covered with a thin layer of golden light, and six steel crossbows pierced his protective shield.
Protective masks are mostly used in times of crisis or great disparity in strength. With a thought, the mask will suddenly form. Although the protective power is weaker than the magic mask, it is extremely fast and can sometimes have a life-saving effect.
Hong Tianyou's light shield shook violently, turning into a few rays of golden light and scattering, while five black-gold crossbows also clattered onto the ring.
But there was still a steel crossbow that penetrated the light curtain and pierced Hong Tianyou's left shoulder.
Hong Tianyou groaned, half of his body was numb, and he barely dodged Huang Qing's follow-up sword, signaling to admit defeat.
He used his magic power slightly, and a puff of blood flew out from his shoulder along with the golden crossbow.
Huang Qing smiled coyly, "It's a fluke, thanks to Junior Brother Hong."
The sighs and sighs of the spectators almost drowned out his small voice.
"How did that black gold crossbow pass through the protective light curtain?"
"You are blind, five ordinary steel crossbows and one magic weapon grade steel crossbow!"
"Wow, Senior Brother Huang has so many treasures and his strategies are superb."
"Huang Qing has figured out his opponent and made arrangements in advance, so he deserves to win."
Xue Tong was extremely disappointed and felt deeply sorry for Hong Tianyou.
However……
Hong Tianyou's expression suddenly changed, he covered his wound and trembled: "You...you poisoned?!"
"The most common numbing poison is from the same martial arts class. It just makes it difficult for Brother Hong to move around for the time being." Huang Qing readily admitted and wrote lightly.
"This is the antidote. Take one pill and it will be fine in a moment." Huang Qing popped out a yellow pill and slowly floated it in front of Hong Tianyou.
Hong Tianyou didn't pick him up, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, and his face was ashen.
Four brown figures swooped onto the stage. The four supervising the battle picked up six black-gold crossbows and examined them carefully. They brought them to their noses and sniffed them. They quickly looked at each other, indicating that no other poisonous substances were found after the initial inspection.
Xue Tong's pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat. He believed that Hong Tianyou's words were definitely not a false accusation. Huang Qing must have put some kind of strange poison on the steel crossbow.
It's just that he couldn't think of any strange poison that Huang Qing dared to try.
"Jiling Powder!" Three words burst out from the corner of Hong Tianyou's mouth.
"Ah~" The spectators shouted, Xue Tong took a breath, and instantly understood Huang Qing's vicious intentions.
Ji Ling Powder is a mysterious medicine that is both scary and not scary. The person who is poisoned will be trapped in the Sea of Fa within twelve hours and become stagnant. He can only perform 70 to 80% of his usual level. This poison dissolves immediately with the sight of blood and leaves no trace. , there is no cure.
However, the shortcomings of Ji Ling Powder are also very obvious. It is colored and smelly, easy to detect, only effective when it touches blood, and can be easily forced out by those with strong magic power after being poisoned.
Huang Qing's face was the color of pig's liver, and his beard and hair were standing on end. He cursed loudly: "Hong Tianyou, you can't afford to lose, so don't slander me and destroy my reputation. If you can't produce any evidence, I'll sue you for falsely accusing a fellow student!"
"Yes, why did Senior Brother Huang want to harm him? Hong Shu couldn't afford to get angry and make false accusations and bite people randomly. Anyway, only he knew that Ji Ling San was poisoned, and he couldn't find out."
"I don't think so. Huang Qing was caught doing a little trick in the Deacon Hall. This person's character is very questionable..."
Xue Tong's heart felt as cold as ice. He remembered Zhu Qingling's question, "Do you have any evidence?..."
Hong Tianyou was trembling all over and felt miserable in his heart. Huang Qing devised a poisonous plan to kill him and he would not be able to compete in the top ten the next day. He would definitely suffer a huge loss as a mute.
Xue Tong shuddered, "Just because Hong Tianyou dealt with Huang Qing in the past, I suffered such cruel revenge. What about me?"
Xue Tonghan's hair stood on end and he shuddered.
…
At the end of the martial arts competition, Huang Qing, Peng Tai, and Xiong Jing got what they wanted and were promoted successfully.
Hong Tianyou's matter was settled. No one except Xue Tong believed that he had been poisoned. Hong Tianyou returned to the quarry silently, living in anger and resentment.
Xue Tong returned to the state of diligent training day and night. He no longer tried his luck at the mission. The dangerous and treacherous scene of the martial arts competition shocked him so much that he even worried about his own safety.
From then on he only went to crowded places.
…
one year later.
The bluestone room shook slightly. Xue Tong squatted down in the exercise room, clenched his fists and waved his arms. A fierce force of wind suddenly rose, crashing and surging in the room.
The third level of "Nightmare Bone True Demon Technique"!
Since the records of Yunxiao Sect, no one has ever completed the third level!
Xue Tong made it in two and a half years, who can believe it?!
"No one knows what the third level of the Nightmare Bone Demon Art looks like, so what's the harm in saying it has two levels?"
Xue Tong punched the rock beside the mountain wall without any magic power.
Seven to eight hundred kilograms of hard rock exploded with a bang, shattering into sand.
…
Xue Tong handed a stack of fifth-level lightning strike talismans to the clerk at "Cangliu Talisman", accepted the proceeds from the three hundred spirit stones of the previous earth shield talisman, and went out and turned into "Cangliu Talisman Shop".
"Hey, Junior Brother Xue is here." The weapon shop clerk greeted.
He was very familiar with the Fu Fang clerk. Xue Tong came to the Fu Fang every ten and a half days. The talismans he drew were of high quality and sold well. After going back and forth, he also gained some fame in the utensil shop next door.
"Well, I want to make another iron crab, but this one is too light." Xue Tong shook the wild goose-winged crab in his hand.
"It's still light! It's probably two hundred and seventy-eight." The waiter weighed the weight and said.
"I just want to be stronger. Two hundred and seventy pounds is too light. I thought about it and hit four hundred and eighty pounds."
"Four hundred and eighty! Are you kidding me? You'll be exhausted after dancing a few more times." The waiter screamed.
"Hey, actually three hundred and six is almost enough. I'll leave some margin. Besides, I don't fight and I can't dance to knock him down." Xue Tong didn't want to show off, so he took the initiative to lower his tone.
"Hey, senior brother, just leave it alone and listen to me. I won't blame you if I make a mistake." Xue Tong said something nice.
"Okay, but such a heavy iron crab cannot be made with hemp iron. It can't be made as thick as a pillar."
Xue Tong almost laughed, "Haha, that's that, what does senior brother mean...?"
"Use heavy iron. Heavy iron is five times heavier than hemp iron, but the price is ten times more expensive. It takes 260 spirit stones to refine."
Xue Tong readily paid the spirit stone, left the inner market, and walked to the Jubao Pavilion store in Baoling Peak.
