"Hahaha! Fellow Taoist Yun Yan, long time no see!"
Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter, the ordinary-looking Lord Wanmu, wearing a blue robe, came from a distance with two Changchun Valley monks.
If one didn't know about the thousands of years of grudges between Changchun Valley and Hua Yiguan, just looking at his breathtaking smile would make people mistakenly think that they were seeing old friends for many years.
Then he saw Wan Mu pointing to his side, a dark-haired young man wearing a blue robe, carrying a huge sword box on his back, with eyes as sharp as swords, and said with a smile: "Since it's just a competition between acting teachers, why don't we let it go?" I will accept this new disciple to learn the methods of the disciple, right?"
"Changchun Valley Duanmu, please give me some advice from fellow Taoist Li!" The dark-haired young man stood up and raised his hand in greeting.
Li Wuzhen and Duanmu looked at each other, their auras colliding with each other, immediately setting off a strong wind, but both of them tacitly restrained themselves.
"Wait!"
Old Taoist Yun Yan interrupted the confrontation between the two.
He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would be killed on the way, and he was Hua Yiguan's mortal enemy Changchun Valley Wanmu Zhenjun. This person obviously wanted to deliberately ruin his good deeds. Even though I wanted to take action directly at this moment, due to the rules of the Qiannan Society, I still said with a cold face:
"I don't think fellow Taoist Wan Mu understands the principle of first come, first served, right?"
Turning around, he looked at Shui Ni.
"I wonder what Taoist fellow Taoists think about what I just suggested?"
Shui Ni heard the words, remembered Lu Zhong's message just now, and said with an aura that was not inferior to the two of them: "It's nothing to compare, my disciple has been feeling unskilled recently, and he wants to fight with fellow monks. If this If you are willing to serve as a whetstone, that would be great. However, just talking about winning or losing would be too monotonous..."
"This is simple. I have a tablet of Fire Cloud Essence here." Yun Yan seemed to have expected it, and took out a piece of red jade from his sleeve, with flame patterns on it.
As soon as this thing came out, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased.
Fire Cloud Essence is the essence of earth-vein firepower. There are not many places in the South Barbarians that can produce this substance, and almost all of it is concentrated in the Realm of Evolution. It also has the special effect of purifying magic weapons, so it often attracts people to snatch it once it comes out.
It can be said to be more than enough to use it as a bonus for the two of them to compete.
When Lu Zhong saw this thing, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Yun Yan's generosity, but he also made up his mind to kill Li Wuzhen when he finally made it, so as to avenge the old and new grudges together.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Presumably the other person thinks so too, right?
At this moment, Zhenjun Wanmu came to disrupt the situation again.
"It's just a Fire Cloud Spirit. If you are not as good as Daoist Friend Ruo Shui, a disciple of mine, you'd better compete with my disciples from Changchun Valley. I'm willing to take out a Cao Yuan Dan as a bet. How about that? Are you sincere enough?"
Cao Yuan Dan, the secret of Changchun Valley.
After taking it, it has the effect of strengthening the body and improving the vitality, and can eliminate chronic diseases in the body.
For some monks who fight all year round, the value of this item is no less than a hundred-year life extension artifact. Just one can restore a lot of life energy and regain part of the life span that should have been lost.
Old Taoist Yun Yan opened his eyes and took a serious look at Zhenjun Wanmu. Judging from his slightly heavier breathing, he was obviously not in a calm mood at the moment, but he soon returned to normal and said calmly:
"Since fellow Taoist Wan Mu insists on doing this, I have no choice but to give in."
Immediately, he waved his sleeves and stepped off the jade chariot.
He led a group of spectators and walked straight into the pavilion without looking back.
Li Wuzhen clenched his fists and glanced at Lu Zhong unwillingly. He did not dare to break the rules of the Qiannan Society, and quickly followed Hua Yiguan's team and entered the attic together.
Even Lu Zhong didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Zhenjun Wanmu, the troublemaker.
"The Fire Cloud Essence is gone, but the Cao Yuan Dan is better!" Lu Zhong thought, and couldn't help but look at Duanmu, who was suspected to be a swordsman.
The latter noticed the gaze and immediately cast a sharp look.
On one side the waves are as flat as water, on the other side they are like a sharp sword unsheathed.
The collision of momentum between the two seemed not as exaggerated as before, and the scene was not even half ruined. In fact, the confrontation behind the scenes was more intense, and one couldn't help but sweat for the two of them.
After a while, Duanmu took the initiative to take a step back.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's strength is truly well-deserved! I am willing to admit defeat..."
"Concession, concession!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands and said.
At the same time, I was also surprised by Duanmu's strength. This person was obviously only in the middle stage of pill formation, but when competing in terms of momentum, he could sometimes surpass him.
Although momentum does not mean everything. In a real fight, Lu Zhong is sure to easily defeat this person. But one thing that is certain is that if this Changchun Valley sword cultivator is allowed to continue to grow, I am afraid that he will become a strong opponent of him in the future. enemy.
Obviously, the people in Changchun Valley regard him as Duanmu's sharpening stone.
Hum, sharpen your sword?
Lu Zhong decided to break the sword as soon as he got the chance. No matter whether it was broken or blunt in the end, he would always get this bad breath back!
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhenjun Wan Mu came over. He handed out the Cao Yuan Dan, and with a kind smile that he had never seen before, he cupped his hands towards Shui Ni and Lu Zhong respectively, and said: "Famous teachers give birth to great disciples, I Wan Mu. I am not willing to admit defeat, but please accept this Cao Yuan Dan!"
Treasure current.
Lu Zhong naturally accepted it.
The meaning of this herbal medicine is not only a bet, but also has a deeper meaning, which is to win over Shui Ni and the Zhenling Sect behind it to show their sincerity.
And Shui Ni has long decided to move closer to Changchun Valley to fight against the Taoist sect's policy. No matter how it changes in the future, his acceptance of this Cao Yuan Dan can just promote the formation of an alliance between the two sects.
For a time, everyone was happy!
…
After saying goodbye to Shui Ni, Lu Zhong came to the Jade Tower.
This building is called the "White Jade Building", with a height of ninety-nine floors. It is the most common style of double-eaves building in Nanman. It is made of white steel jade that is as strong as fine steel. It is said that the output of a white steel jade mine has been used up.
The carved beams and painted buildings are all handcrafted by famous artists.
When the guards at the door saw Lu Zhong coming, one of them cupped his hands and said, "Senior, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, according to the traditional rules of the Qiannan Trade Fair, all monks participating in this fair must wear masks to hide their faces, or other Means that can achieve similar effects are also acceptable.”
In the pleasant voice, the guard saw that Lu Zhong seemed to be here for the first time, so he took the trouble to repeat the rules of the trade fair.
"Is this okay?" Lu Zhong casually pinched a spell and condensed a mist of light on his face, which immediately covered his disguised face, and the mist also had a layer of spiritual consciousness. Covering can play a role in blocking the prying eyes of others.
"Senior, please come inside!"
The two guards moved out of the way and bowed in salute.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong smiled faintly and walked in like the monks who entered before. Walking up the jade steps, he casually looked inside.
The first floor was a little deserted, with only a few maids in charge of reception.
His eyes passed over one of them, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
They are actually acquaintances!
