Chu Xuan left gracefully, waving his sleeves and leaving without a trace.
Jiang Yunfei stood there, questioning the meaning of life.
"grandfather----"
A moment later, he entered the room, looked at Jiang Wang respectfully, and his expression was complicated.
He had never seen his grandfather treat any young person with such kindness and gentleness as he had treated Chu Xuan, including the younger generation of the Jiang family and even him!
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Xuan's appearance was very different from Jiang Wang's, and that his identity and background were clear, he would have suspected that Chu Xuan was really his uncle.
"Um."
Jiang Wang gave a light reply, then turned to look at him and said, "How did it feel to have you get to know Chu Xuan?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunfei shook his head.
Chu Xuan gave him the impression of being just two words: ordinary!
He really couldn't see anything unusual about the other person.
Jiang Wang sighed, "You have top-tier innate talent, and your resources and comprehension are not bad. Even in the outer sect of the Xuan Yang Sect, you would be considered a genius. But your current strength is still quite different from Chu Xuan's."
"What? Grandfather, I—"
Jiang Yunfei immediately became anxious.
He's the top scorer in this year's martial arts examination, while Chu Xuan is twenty-seven!
My grandfather actually said that his strength was inferior to Chu Xuan's?
"What, you doubt what I said?" Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
"No!"
Jiang Yunfei shook his head, "I just can't quite believe it."
His grandfather was the city lord of Qingshan City and the strongest person in the city. How could he deceive him on this matter?
Since Jiang Wang said so, it must be true!
Jiang Wang's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "Your talent is no less than Chu Xuan's, but right now, even ten of you wouldn't be a match for him! I'm letting you interact with him so you can learn from him how to conceal your strength! Back then, your uncle was too sharp, which is why—"
The "little uncle" he mentioned was naturally not Chu Xuan, but Jiang Wang's youngest son, Jiang Teng!
He was a prodigy in the inner sect of Xuan Yang Sect back then, but unfortunately his talent was too great and he died young!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunfei quickly replied, "Grandfather, rest assured, once I arrive at the Xuan Yang Sect, I will definitely uncover the remnants of the Blood God Sect and avenge my uncle!"
"It might not be the Blood God Cult!"
Jiang Wang shook his head. "I made too many enemies in the Xuan Yang Sect back then. Those people might not dare to do anything openly, but they might dare to take action secretly and make the Blood God Sect take the blame."
Don't worry about these things. Once you arrive at the Xuan Yang Sect, just focus on your own business.
Remember this: the Xuan Yang Sect has many geniuses, but even more have fallen tragically! The Transformation Realm is just the beginning. I hope that one day you can become a true powerhouse, even surpassing your uncle—”
Jiang Yunfei was thrilled when he heard this.
After a moment, he remembered his purpose and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, the second mistress of the Dong family in Lingxiao Prefecture is still waiting. Would you like to see her?"
Jiang Wang said indifferently, "The Dong family is only a second-rate family in Lingxiao Prefecture! A second wife wants to see me?"
Let your father deal with it!
"yes!"
After an incense stick has burned.
Shi Yourong stormed out of the city lord's mansion, unable to maintain her dignified demeanor any longer; her charming face had turned ashen!
"This is outrageous!"
Shi Yourong clenched her fist in anger. "Jiang Wang is nothing more than the lord of a small border town! I came to visit him out of kindness, and not only did he not greet me personally, but he also casually made up an excuse to send me away? It's simply outrageous!"
The two old women standing nearby turned pale with fright upon hearing this.
"Madam, please watch your words!"
An old woman glanced at the city lord's mansion behind her and reminded him with some trepidation.
"Be careful what you say? Does the Dong family think we're afraid of his mere Qi-wielding technique?"
Shi Yourong's full chest heaved with anger.
If Jiang Wang hadn't refused to see her in the first place, she wouldn't be so angry.
The key point is that Jiang Wang received Chu Xuan, a nobody, treating him as an honored guest. On the contrary, she herself, after waiting for so long, was dismissed with just a "I'm tired."
Upon hearing this, another old woman trembled with fear and quickly advised, "Second Madam, City Lord Jiang is no ordinary expert! He was the number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking back then!"
"What?"
Shi Yourong's pretty face suddenly changed, and she said in disbelief, "What did you say? Him? Number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking? How is that possible?!"
The Xuan Yang Sect is divided into inner and outer sects!
The outer sect has its own popularity ranking, while the inner sect has its own dragon and tiger ranking!
Those who made the list were all geniuses of their generation, the cream of the crop.
The Dragon and Tiger List carries far more weight than the Popularity List!
It's no exaggeration to say that those who make it onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking are all core disciples of the Xuan Yang Sect.
Those who top the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, as long as they don't perish halfway, will inevitably become high-ranking members of the Xuan Yang Sect in the future, at the very least they will be inner sect elders, and may even have the opportunity to compete for the position of sect leader!
"If he's number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, why would he come to this remote little town to be the city lord?" Shi Yourong said skeptically.
The old woman who spoke first gave a wry smile.
It seems like too much time has passed.
Few people remember how incredibly talented Jiang Wang was back then!
"Second Madam, Lord Jiang was indeed number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking back then, but that was more than forty years ago. There are even rumors that he had the strength to compete for the Mountain and River Ranking!"
Many of the inner sect deacons and elders of the Xuan Yang Sect today were his defeated opponents back then.
Shi Yourong's expression changed, and she said somewhat reluctantly, "If he's so strong, why didn't he stay in the Xuan Yang Sect?"
The old woman who spoke first sighed, "With Lord Jiang's strength, it was a sure thing that he would be promoted to a true disciple back then. Several peak masters were vying to take him as a disciple, and even the sect master of Xuan Yang Sect had his eye on it."
However, before the sect leader could accept any disciples, City Lord Jiang suddenly encountered trouble.
"Something happened?" Shi Yourong's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What happened?"
"This—" The old woman at the head of the group shook her head. "Let Elder Rong speak. She was an outer disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect back then, so she should know some inside information."
The second old woman smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Back then, I was just a low-level outer disciple in the Xuan Yang Sect. What inside information could I possibly know? I only heard some rumors circulating in the streets."
I don't know the specifics. I only heard that Lord Jiang's cultivation suddenly plummeted overnight, and in just three days, he fell to the Gang Jin level.
"His cultivation level has plummeted?"
Shi Yourong looked shocked. "What on earth is going on?"
"Nobody knows what happened?" Elder Rong shook his head. "Rumor has it that even the sect leader of the Xuan Yang Sect personally inspected the place, but couldn't find anything wrong."
Logically speaking, given Lord Jiang's seniority, even if something went wrong, he would have been fully qualified to remain in the inner sect as a steward. Yet, he chose to come to this small border town and become its lord. And he's been in that position for over forty years.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yourong felt relieved, then sneered, "After all that talk, isn't it just about internal energy? How many geniuses have fallen in the Xuan Yang Sect over the years?!"
Old Master Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Second Madam, if you knew how dazzling Lord Jiang was back then, you wouldn't have said that! Lord Jiang has fallen from grace now, but that doesn't mean he can be bullied by anyone!"
You should know that he had many followers and female fans back then!
Some of those people have even become elders of the Xuan Yang Sect, and they all received favors from Elder Jiang. Otherwise, how could City Lord Jiang, who offended so many people back then, have been able to remain the city lord of this small town for over forty years?
If Lord Jiang is angered, he doesn't even need to say anything. If word gets to the ears of an elder in the Xuan Yang Sect who has received his favor, the Dong family could very well be wiped out overnight.
"Go! Go quickly—" Shi Yourong was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale. She dared not say another word and immediately turned and left.
In the city lord's palace.
Jiang Wang stood on the top floor of the attic, gazing into the distance.
After a moment, he looked away and gave a noncommittal smile.
Am I that scary?
the other side.
Chu Xuan returned to the martial arts school, briefly recounted what had happened to Lu Tong, and then went home.
"Has Old Jiang been searching for the Blood God Technique all along?"
"Could he have been deliberately setting a trap by allowing the Blood God Cult to develop covertly in Green Mountain City all these years?"
The more Chu Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
This old man must be a fishing expert!
"Never mind! Anyway, Old Deng said to just do our best."
Chu Xuan put aside his distracting thoughts and then began to look at the Nine Heavenly Rocs given to him by Jiang Wang.
Since the other party said that after learning it, it would be enough to protect one's life in the outer sect of Xuan Yang Sect, it shouldn't be too bad.
The Nine Leaps of the Heavenly Roc are inspired by the roc soaring through the heavens and covering thousands of miles in an instant. When mastered, it allows one to shrink the distance between people and walk on air. It emphasizes lightness, speed, deception, and swiftness, focusing on evasion, surprise attacks, and escape rather than brute force.
-
It has nine floors in total!
First level: Wings flapping! The start is like a roc flapping its wings, with extremely fast short-distance bursts of speed, making it difficult for ordinary martial artists to see the figure clearly.
Second level: Wind Sweep! The body moves close to the ground, the sound of the wind enters the ears, and continuous sudden stops and changes of direction are possible.
The third level: Piercing the Clouds! Soaring straight up and down like a ladder to the clouds, leaping a short distance through the air, ignoring terrain obstacles. Leaving afterimages as it moves, it's hard to distinguish the real from the fake —
The fourth floor is gone!
Chu Xuan was completely bewildered!
tease me?
This Peng Jiuzong clearly has nine layers.
But after the third layer, when you flipped down further, all you found were piles of blank paper.
"You old scoundrel!"
Chu Xuan was so angry he almost jumped up and down.
No wonder Jiang Wang acted so magnanimously, telling him to just do his best; it turns out he was waiting for him here!
If we don't give him the Blood God Technique, it will be very difficult to obtain the rest of the Heavenly Roc Nine Leaps.
However, Jiang Wang wasn't exactly lying to him!
Mastering these three levels will undoubtedly greatly increase your chances of survival!
Chu Xuan stopped thinking about it and immediately began to study it carefully.
【Tianpeng Nine Leaps - Wings Spread: (0/1000)】
Upon seeing the information on the panel, Chu Xuan smiled.
For the rest of the day, Chu Xuan stayed at home practicing the Heavenly Roc Nine Leaps.
After dinner, Chu Xuan practiced Bajiquan for a while as usual before returning to his room to sleep.
late at night.
Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up as if he had risen from the dead.
He glanced around and carefully sensed his surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, he slowly took out the Blood God Manual from his pocket.
The Blood God Technique is the Blood God Sect's most treasured manual!
For hundreds of years, countless powerful members of the Blood God Sect have traveled far and wide, generation after generation, searching tirelessly for the true essence of the Blood God Technique.
It was Jiang Wang who had been searching for him in Qingshan City for decades.
How could he not be cautious with such a precious treasure?
Since he obtained the scripture, he had kept it close to his body and never took it out to look at it.
It wasn't that he wasn't tempted by the treasure, but rather that he needed to maintain a calm mindset. Otherwise, he could easily become overconfident, attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives and bringing about his own demise!
Now that so much time has passed, Chu Xuan's mindset has calmed down.
This is the first time I've observed it so carefully.
After the scripture was unfurled, it was square and filled with tiny, blood-red characters. In the center was an image of the Blood God, standing proudly in the void of the universe, surrounded by countless stars.
The Blood God in the portrait is a young man with a full head of silver hair, so handsome that he doesn't look like a man at all.
His blood-red eyes stared upwards, a faint smile playing on his lips.
It seemed like a provocation, yet also carried a hint of disdain.
Unbeknownst to him, Chu Xuan was drawn into it, as if he were seeing himself from thousands of lifetimes ago!
Just as he was in a daze.
The images and words on the silk seemed to come alive and fly away on their own.
The Blood God hovered in the air.
Tens of thousands of characters swirled and intertwined around it, eventually combining to form a purple-gold gourd radiating a blood-red light!
"Whoosh!"
Before Chu Xuan could react, the purple-gold gourd had already disappeared into Chu Xuan's brow.
The next moment, Chu Xuan's martial arts panel appeared on its own.
[New Dao Fruit: Blood God]
[New Feature 1: Defeating an opponent grants you their essence value]
[New Feature 2: Essence Points can be exchanged for Proficiency]
Then, it was a familiar sight to Chu Xuan.
[Energy Value: 631/5000]
[Two Elements Stance Completed (461/50000)]
【Bajiquan Perfection (171/50000)】
[Heart-Shattering Palm Perfection (2937/50000)]
[Iron Armor Skill Mastery (5439/10000)]
[The Heavenly Ladder to Mastery (9528/10000)]
[Spiritual Turtle Breathing Technique - Minor Success (97/3000)]
【Indestructible Vajra - Tendon Strengthening (6/10000)】
【The Nine Flights of the Heavenly Roc - Soaring Wings (21/1000)】
Chu Xuan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. The next moment, his eyes lit up and his breathing became rapid.
The Dao Fruit?
What is this? I don't know!
But he knew that it was because of this thing that the panel was upgraded and two new features were added.
His gaze swept across the panel and finally landed on the Heavenly Ladder Leap movement technique.
"Sky Ladder! Fully charge!"
The panel changed again instantly.
[Energy Value: 158/5000]
【Sky Ladder - Perfection (1/50000)】
"It actually works!"
Then, Chu Xuan added all the remaining essence points to the Nine Heavenly Rocs.
The panel changed again in the next moment.
[Energy Value: 0/5000]
【The Nine Flights of the Heavenly Roc - Soaring Wings (179/1000)】
"That works too!"
Chu Xuan's breathing became rapid, and he could clearly feel his heart pounding violently.
As he cultivates more and more advanced techniques, his need for experience points increases significantly.
Chu Xuan had to calculate his cultivation time almost every day, but he still felt increasingly stretched thin, wishing he could create more clones.
Now that this exchange feature is available, it has solved his immediate problem.
Then, Chu Xuan's attention fell on characteristic one.
Since characteristic two is effective, characteristic one must also be effective.
He rubbed his chin, wishing he could go out right now and find someone to test his skills on, to see if killing the other person would increase his essence value.
In the end, Chu Xuan calmed down.
No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities.
Then, Chu Xuan's gaze fell on the unfolded silk scroll that recorded the Blood God Technique.
Today, all the text and images on it have disappeared, leaving a grayish-brown color.
It's like an artifact that has been buried underground for thousands of years being unearthed and instantly exposed to the air.
All the colors disappeared, leaving the room dull and lifeless.
"So, Old Jiang's real purpose in wanting the true copy of the Blood God Technique is this Dao Fruit? I wonder if giving him this silk will be enough to satisfy him?"
Chu Xuan reached out his hand, intending to put the silk away.
The moment his palm touched the silk, it turned to ashes with a soft "poof".
"Oh no! This is terrible!"
Chu Xuan froze on the spot.
Now all we can do is pray that Old Jiang will say something like, "It doesn't matter, even if it turns to ashes, I'll still recognize it!"
