Chapter 1: Descending the Mountain

Next Chapter

Southern Regions, Jingzhou, Zilin Empire, Cloud Sword Sect.

The sky is not yet bright, in a remote courtyard, a young man is sitting on the bluestone, between heaven and earth, a stream of spiritual energy is inhaled by the young man.

After a long while, as the last aura submerged, the young man finally opened his eyes, his eyes were deep, his face was resolute, although he still looked a little immature, but he seemed to have a temperament that was rare for his peers.

The black shirt on his body was already soaked with sweat, and the young man was lying on the bluestone, looking up at the sky, it had been fourteen years! He had been in the Cloud Sword Sect for fourteen years!

Just as he was distracted, the wooden door was pushed open!

"Hurry up, hurry up, Stone, Dad is not in the sect today, we can go down the mountain!"

A girl in a long cyan dress walked in and looked at the young man on the bluestone with excitement.

The girl looks about fourteen, just in the cardamom, the girl's eyebrows are picturesque, a pretty face carved in pink and jade, especially the bright eyes, with the pair of small ponytails at the back of the head, giving people a quirky feeling.

"Qingrou, my father-in-law has said that you are not allowed to go down the mountain. The boy lay on the bluestone and looked at the girl helplessly.

When the girl in Tsing Yi heard this, she was unhappy, her mouth was cocked, and her pretty face turned red, "Against you, you dare to talk back to Miss Ben?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, grabbed his ear, and squeezed it back sharply.

"Oh, don't! Don't tease me! Can't I go?" the young man said in pain.

"That's what you are obedient about. Let's go, accompany me to the gambling stone workshop. The girl clapped her hands in satisfaction.

The young man rubbed his purple ears and looked at the girl helplessly, this girl, she didn't do it lightly or heavily!

The young man's name is Shi Yan, an abandoned baby picked up by the sect master of the Cloud Sword Sect, and was later adopted as a righteous son by him, and the girl next to him is the daughter of the sect master, Yun Qingrou!

Looking at the cheerful girl, Shi Yan couldn't help but rub her slightly aching head, and said, "Qingrou, there is Ziyun County in front, you will make people laugh if you keep making trouble like this." ”

"Okay, I know, haven't I been out for too long! Who can stand staying in the mountains every day?" he said and gave him a charming big eye.

Walking through the dense forest, the two soon came to the street, and suddenly there was a loud noise and shouting.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the ancestral exercise is the opening palm, my ancestor used this technique to kill a third-order blood wolf. ”

"Come and take a look, come and take a look! All kinds of medicinal materials, the pill store has everything, when you hunt demon beasts outside and who is not injured, a small pill is a key life!"

Although the sky is bright, the streets are already full of people, so it is not lively.

"Stone, look how lively this is! let's hurry up and enter the city!" the girl was obviously attracted by the lively scene.

"Let's finally go down the mountain, you can't drop the chain this time when you go to the gambling stone workshop!"

"Okay, but what should I do if my father-in-law knows!" Shi Yan nodded, for some reason, when he broke through the spirit disciple, he could feel the aura around him.

And what the gambling stone shop is betting on is not an ordinary stone, but a spirit stone!

"Oh, why are you so stupid! This matter is known to the two of us, if you don't say it, I won't say it, he can know!" the girl said angrily.

The young man shook his head helplessly, how could he hide it from his father-in-law about going down the mountain? This girl is so stupid and cute!

As soon as the two of them entered the city, Shi Yan suddenly felt a throbbing!

Stone Eyes stopped and looked up.

"What's wrong?" Qingrou in front of him saw him stop and wondered.

Shi Yan didn't answer, but looked at the old man who looked sloppy on the side.

This old man! What a powerful fluctuation! The stone eyes froze.

"Old man, how did you sell this sword!" he walked towards the old man.

"Fifteen gold spirit coins. I saw the old man say listlessly.

Hearing this, Shi Yan took a cool breath.

"What? Fifteen gold spirit coins? Oh, childe! That old man is obviously making fun of you, and he still needs fifteen gold spirit coins for that broken sword?" exclaimed a man next to him.

"Why don't you look at my sword, you see how sharp it is! I'll give you five hundred spirit coins!" a weapon seller next to him hurriedly came over and shouted.

"That's it, this broken sword still costs fifteen gold spirit coins? Does this crazy old man know how many fifteen gold spirit coins are?"

"It's fifteen thousand spirit coins! Young man, don't look at it, the sword is all dusty! He, this old man, sees that you are dressed luxuriously, and you are sitting on the ground to raise the price, don't be deceived by him. ”

"That's it. Someone next to him also responded, although the old man's voice was not loud, but the word fifteen gold spirit coins instantly filled the crowd.

You must know that one gold spirit coin can make an ordinary family use it for a year, and this sword is dark and heavy, it looks no different from a burning stick, how can it cost fifteen gold coins?

"Love or not. Facing the angry crowd, the old man said indifferently.

The emotions at the scene became more and more excited, and a few even wanted to smash the old man's shop, and do such a deceitful and shameless thing for the old disrespect.

But the old man ignored the indignant crowd, and sat there listlessly, not intending to explain anything at all.

"Smash this broken shop, see if this old man dares to deceive people. Suddenly there was an angry curse from the crowd.

"Don't get excited, everyone, I'm here to buy a sword, this sword is indeed a good sword. Shi Yan hurriedly said, and as he spoke, he took out six gold spirit coins.

He looked at the girl on the side embarrassedly and said, "Qingrou, I don't have many spirit coins on me, can you lend me some first!"

When the old man heard this, he shifted his body, brushed away the messy hair on his face, and looked at the young man with his cloudy and shining eyes, obviously not expecting that the young man really planned to buy this sword.

The girl glared at him fiercely: "You really plan to buy this broken sword!"

Although he was reluctant, he still took out a stone from his body and handed it to him.

"Here, the spirit coins are too troublesome, I didn't bring so much, I only have spirit stones on my body, remember that this is borrowed from you, I have to calculate the interest!"

"Wow! Spirit stones, is this little girl going to exchange spirit stones?" The people around looked at the stone in the young man's hand and instantly exploded!

You must know that in this outer city, there are just ordinary people living in it, and they usually use spirit coins for transactions, and at most they use gold spirit coins. In a place like the outer city, there is really nothing worth trading for spirit stones, and things like spirit stones are still too precious!

"Old man, I don't have many spirit coins on me, do you think these six gold spirit coins can add this spirit stone?" Shi Yan was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm, this spirit stone is not even inferior!" The old man seemed to be a little disgusted, "That's it, I'll sell you!" As he spoke, he threw the sword on the table over, but put aside the spirit stone spirit coin handed by Shi Yan, and didn't seem to care.

"Thank you, senior!" Shi Yan hurriedly caught the sword in the air.

He couldn't wait to pull out the scabbard, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and exclaimed: "Good sword!"

The people around him stared at each other, looking at the ridiculous transaction in front of them and couldn't help but sigh, "When did such a stupid boy come to this county?"

Regrettably, this deal, in their eyes, is really ridiculous.

In front of the stall, there were still a few big men with golden lights in their eyes, and they looked at the backs of the two leaving, and a strange smile rose on the corner of their mouths.

"Stone, we're here to make money, and before we even started, you spent so much money on this broken sword. The girl said dissatisfiedly

"No, Qingrou, we're going to make a lot of money this time!" Shi Yan smiled.

"I took a closer look at this sword, the material of this sword is not only very hard, but there is also an aura hidden in the sword, which shows that this sword is not only a precious refining material, but the person who refines the sword is probably even more extraordinary!" he said and waved the sword in his hand proudly.

"Okay, I don't care, anyway, you can buy a few spirit stones to compensate me later. The girl grimaced at him.

Shi Yan smiled and agreed, and followed.

"Big brother, do you want to do this ticket?" On the side of the street, five big men surrounded the man in the middle and said in a loud voice, his tone a little excited.

That's a spirit stone! Just threw it out without blinking an eye? There must be something more valuable in this kid.

"It's not easy to do it in the county, but if we have to do this ticket, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives!"

"That's right, big brother, then give the order!" the people around shouted anxiously.

The leader hesitated slightly, then nodded fiercely.

"Okay! Then do it, sixth brother and fifth brother, you go and follow those two little ghosts, as long as they leave the city, they will be searched clean! It's over, let's meet in the old place. A fierce glint flashed in the leading man's eyes.

"Okay, brother, don't worry, can we take that sword?"

"What's there to do with the broken sword? You're so tasteless? Alright, you guys go ahead! Don't let those two little devils run away. The man urged.

"Okay. With that, the two men disappeared into the crowd.

"Let's hurry to the old fellow, don't let him take the money and run away!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the old man with the remaining three people.

The four of them came to the stall, and the old man didn't seem to notice them, still wiping the table listlessly.

Boom!

"Old fellow, I heard that you have made a lot of black money today! What is the matter? Do you want to run away? We are in a good mood today, are you going to use money to eliminate disasters or take your life to eliminate disasters?"

The four of them quickly surrounded the old man.

The old man raised his eyelids, but ignored them, and continued to clean up.

When the young man saw that the old man was ignoring him like this, his anger surged up, and he scolded, "Give the old man a shameless face. Then he swung his knife and slashed at the old man.

Several of them have done countless things to kill people and rob money, which one is not trembling when they see it?

The remaining three people dispersed the crowd on the side of the road, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, this old man makes black money, a few of our brothers do the right thing for the sky, and those who don't want to die should go away!"

"Poof!"

Suddenly, the man with the knife at the old man flew out and slammed into the door, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that his brother was injured, the rest of the people were also startled, and then scolded: "Old guy, play yin, hurt my brother, I will kill your whole family!"

When the old man heard this, he said indifferently: "Minions-like things, I don't cherish them for you to live." ”

With a wave of his sleeves, the three men flew upside down and slammed into the wall.

"I'm not mistaken! That old man is so strong?"

"Just kidding! Bangs, their brothers are all spirits!"

"Then, it seems to be the release of aura! Only the spirit master can release the aura!"

"Don't tell me that old man is a spirit master......"

The people around were dumbfounded, and the atmosphere instantly ignited, in their eyes, the spirit master was a big man!

When the old man listened to the words of these people in front of him, he couldn't help but feel funny, he was a spirit king, and he was regarded as a spirit master by them, which was really ignorant.

Although he admired it to the extreme, and even wanted to come forward to talk about it, no one dared to get close to the old man.

This is Ziyun County, dare to make trouble here, even if you are a spirit master, you are not qualified!

As expected, such a big movement quickly attracted the city guards, and the leader was actually a woman with a good face!

When the passers-by on both sides saw such a big formation, they had already retreated far away, and they were afraid that they would have something to do with themselves, so they looked at the leader intently.

I saw that the woman's willow eyebrows and red lips, her cold eyes were set off by a golden armor, she was a heroic woman!

"Wow! that girl is so pretty!"

"Isn't it, it's much better than my daughter-in-law!"

"Quietly, don't you see the guards behind her? ”

When the old man saw the visitor, he changed his previous laziness, stepped forward, and arched his hand, "I have seen His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”

When the woman in military uniform saw this person, she hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and said, "Pavilion Master, don't do this, if my father knows about it, he will definitely scold me, just call me Yun'er!"

"Haha, good, good!"

"When did Master Fang come? I don't let me know, if my father knew that Master Fang was coming, he would definitely go out of the city to greet him. I won't be bumped into by these young people!" he said, giving him a look left and right.

When the big men heard the conversation between the two in front of them, they were already scared into a mess and dragged down like dead dogs by several city guards.

"As early as in the imperial capital, I heard that the county lord of Ziyun is not only good-looking, but also inherits the heroic martial arts of the county king of Zishan, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today!" the old man said with a smile.

"Master Fang has won the prize!" the woman smiled slightly.

"I don't know if the king of the county can be in the mansion? I still have something important to ask to see the king of the county today!"

"Yes, master, please come with me!" he said, and led the old man towards the center of the county capital.

The guards were far away, and everyone didn't recognize who the old man was, but it should be a great reason to look at it.

......

"Hurry up, hurry up, the gambling stone shop has arrived, can you not hold that broken sword and smirk! ”

"Alright! Shi Yan reluctantly put away his sword and stepped into the towering and vicissitudes of the hall.

As soon as Shi Yan entered the door, there was a slight sense of oppression, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, there was a small formation here, in order to weaken the spiritual power of those alchemists, refiners and other spiritual masters.

It's surprisingly quiet, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, and everyone is silently observing the gambling stones.

Qingrou whispered, "It's up to you!"

Shi Yan nodded, and did not hesitate, focusing his spiritual power on his eyes, if someone had sharp eyes, they would find that his eyes actually emitted a faint gray light.

The spiritual power was unimpeded in the formation like a fish, and then it burrowed into the stone fiercely.

No, there is no this, there is still no, there are several stones in a row, and Shi Yan can't help but be a little disappointed.

Suddenly, it seems like something has been discovered, ......well!

"Qingrou, take this!" Shi Yan said excitedly.

The girl hurriedly picked up the dark stone.

"This original stone is pitted, can there be a spirit stone?" Qingrou looked suspicious.

"Don't worry, you won't be mistaken!" After saying that, he got busy again.

After a while, he almost looked around him and found only two, and Shi Yan already felt dizzy.

"Qingrou, you take these three pieces and get them away first, and I'll take a rest. After saying that, he leaned aside and steadied himself.

"How are you? It's okay! Why don't you look for it!" The girl in green clothes saw that Shi Yan's face was pale, and she was a little worried, so she hurriedly asked.

Shi Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, it's just that the consumption is too big, just take a break!"

"Okay, then I'll go. After saying that, he glanced at him worriedly before running to the side.

Seeing Qingrou walking away, Shi Yan barely supported himself and walked towards one place......

"Master, please help me see how much these three rough stones cost!" Yun Qingrou took the three stones and asked the middle-aged man who opened the stones.

"Okay, well, it's a total of five hundred spirit coins. The man just took it in his hand and threw it away.

"Do you need to open it for Miss?"

"Of course, this stone is big and heavy, so you can't take it back, right?"

"Okay, a total of six hundred spirit coins, Miss wait a minute. After saying that, he put the stone on the table, and saw a faint breath appear in the man's right hand.

Then he pressed on a stone, and the stone, which seemed to be hard, shattered with a click......
