Volume 1 Family Chapter 14 Sword Intent Soars to the Sky

After Ye Qiu went to the Ming Mansion, he returned to the Ye family on Changchun Street, and then closed the door to continue his practice.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Qiu went to the Ye Mansion on Changde Street to have a reunion dinner, and the entire Ye family is still in Pingyang City, leaving Ye Qiu's uncle Ye Jinwen and some other brothers and sisters who are still studying in Pingyang, Ye Jinwen has been living in Pingyang City because he is the young Yin of Pingyang City, and the rest of the Ye family are all in Yanbei, so they went back to Yanbei early. Ye Qingchen also returned to Yanbei early to prepare for the affairs of the political envoy of Yanbei. There wasn't much going on at the reunion dinner on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the big house didn't know about Ye Qiu's changes, and Ye Qiu wasn't ready to tell them now, Ye Jinwen comforted Ye Qiu for how his body recovered, and told him that he would come to him if he encountered anything in Pingyang, and the fifteenth reunion dinner ended plainly, and Ye Qiu also returned to Changchun Street to prepare for tomorrow's trip.

After Ye Qiu returned to the Ye family on Changchun Street, he called Uncle Zhong and He Jin to prepare for tomorrow's departure. He Jin is a confidant guard who has followed Ye Qinglin for many years, and Ye Qiu usually calls him Uncle He. Because of Ye Qiu's talent, Ye Qinglin deliberately asked He to come in to protect Ye Qiu. He Jin's parents died when he was young, but fortunately, he had the talent to practice martial arts, and was admitted to Xiuning Academy, and then he always followed Ye Qinglin, and every year during the New Year, because He Jin had no home to go back, so he followed Ye Qinglin to celebrate the New Year in the Ye family for so many years, so Ye Qiu was still very familiar with He Jin, because he was the same age as Ye Lingyun, so Ye Qiu and they all called him Uncle He. He Jin is also a monk who has already realized the aura and is still an active soldier, if the people in the rivers and lakes do something to the active Great Xia soldiers, it is a serious crime to leak the news afterwards, so Ye Qiu is ready to bring Zhongbo and He Jin is enough, the matter on the surface will be solved by He Jin, and the trouble in the secret will be solved by Zhongbo.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Qiu took the two of them to the Ming Mansion in a carriage marked with the mark of the Ye family in Yanbei. After a while, he came to the Ming Mansion, and the next person led Ye Qiu and his party to wait in the main hall, and after a while, Ye Qiu saw Mingyue running over with a panda eye, Mingyue couldn't sleep last night when she thought that she could go to Jingrong Town tomorrow. After Ye Qiu took Mingyue to say goodbye to Mingchen, he took Mingyue into the carriage. As soon as Mingyue's girl got into the carriage, she chattered with Ye Qiu non-stop, Ye Qiu interrupted her and said, "Did you bring all the things you brought?"

Mingyue patted her little chest and said, "Don't worry, for the sake of you taking me to Jingrong Town, your consumption is all inclusive." Mingyue took out her savings, Ye Qiu saw that she was really a little rich woman for so many years, and her New Year's money and pocket money were almost 500 gold coins, and with the supplementary card of 1000 gold coins, Mingyue's girl could use 1500 gold coins.

Ye Qiu took Mingyue to the Pingyang City branch of the Great Xia Gold Bank to exchange for the money ticket of the Great Xia Gold Bank with 1,500 gold coins. The Great Xia Gold Bank was organized by the Great Xia Imperial Court, and the Great Xia Gold Bank was mainly used to absorb savings and provide loans, as well as important goods storage business, etc., and had branches in each city. Because the transaction between merchants involves too large an amount of money, it is inconvenient to carry the same amount of gold coins, so the merchants of Daxia mainly use the money tickets of the Great Xia Gold Bank to replace the gold coin transactions, and if they are not at ease afterwards, they only need to take the money tickets to the Great Xia Gold Bank to exchange them.

After taking the money, Ye Qiu and his party set off in a carriage to Jingrong Town, although there are restrictions on energy conversion in the post-aura era, but it is still very developed in the manufacturing industry, the design of the carriage has a very good shock absorption effect, the general carriage in the case of ensuring comfort at a speed of 80-100 kilometers per hour, of course, the speed of different breeds of horses is not the same. The Great Xia court did not have regulations on the use of horse-drawn carriages, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, and there was no limit to the number of horses.

The carriage that Ye Qiu rode in was six feet wide (about 2 meters), six feet high (2 meters), one zhang long (3.3 meters), the body was made of black nan wood, there was no superfluous pattern carving on the body, only a leaf character was engraved on the body, there was a window on both sides of the carriage that could be slid and closed, and a layer of stainless steel was attached to the carriage to strengthen the protection on all sides, and the attached stainless steel was wrapped in exquisite and luxurious silk, the size of the carriage was about six or seven square spaces arranged with six seats, Ye Qiu and Mingyue sat on the left and right sides of the middle, He Jin sat at the last position at the end of the carriage, and Zhong Bo drove two red-maned horses to the south city gate.

The strength and endurance of the red-maned horse are excellent, and it is one of the favorite horses of the rich and noble, because the road infrastructure of Daxia is very good, and it is accessible everywhere, the straight-line distance from Jingrong Town to Pingyang City is about 260 kilometers, and the actual ground distance is about 350 kilometers, and it is about 50 kilometers from the city center to the city gate, and it is estimated that it will take four to six hours to get to Jingrong Town by carriage, so Ye Qiu asked He Jin to buy some food and put it in the storage ring when passing by the restaurant, and the road will cope with it.

Along the way, Mingyue was immersed in joy, opening the window and propping her little head on the window to watch the flow of people coming and going, while Ye Qiu closed his eyes and used his soul power to retrieve the Danfang that could be used now. Ye Qiu arrived at Jingrong Town from Chenshi, although there was still half a month before the second day of February, but the town was already lively, Ye Qiu came to the best inn in the town and rented a small courtyard to stay. Mingyue may not have rested well last night, and she was excited all the way, and after arriving at Jingrong Town, the group rested after eating.

After breakfast the next morning, Ye Qiu and his party took a carriage to the largest trading market in the town, firstly to buy some alchemy materials, and secondly, to inquire about the news. Ye Qiu vaguely remembered that in the previous life, Guo Xie got a set of sword arrays in Wangwu Mountain, the value of the sword array was not too high, and the real value was the saber that matched the sword array, Guo Xie and the apprentice not only obtained the sword array but also obtained the nine swords required by the sword array, and the nine swords were all spiritual weapons.

The weapons in the post-aura era are much simpler than those in the flood era, and they are basically divided into two kinds of aura and mortal weapons, and the distinction method is also simple to see if they can conduct aura, and the weapons that can conduct aura are called spiritual weapons, and the weapons that cannot conduct aura are mortal weapons. Martial artists only look at the material and quality of the weapon when they use weapons, and because monks can use aura, if the weapon can transmit aura, the power will be greatly increased. It's not that the material of the spirit weapon is necessarily better than that of ordinary weapons, like the deep sea black iron because it can't transmit spiritual energy, but the weapons forged from the deep sea dark iron are better than most spirit weapons in terms of toughness. The materials that can be directly transmitted to the aura are scarce and expensive, if the spirit weapon is forged by a mixture of multiple materials, the refining method is high, and the success rate of the average refining master when refining the spirit weapon of mixed materials is about thirty percent, so the spirit weapon is very rare on the mainland, and many monks may not be able to have it.

In the previous life, although Guo Jie's master and apprentice were careful enough, they were still targeted for some reason. Ye Qiu and the four of them came to the largest shop in the market, HSBC Hall, HSBC Hall is a first-class chamber of commerce in Daxia, and HSBC Hall does not sell all kinds of commodities mainly in any kind, unlike Tongjun Pavilion, a shop that specializes in selling pills, and the pills sold are more complete and better than other shops. One of the good things about big chambers of commerce like HSBC Hall and Tongjun Pavilion is that they have a good reputation, so customers are relatively relieved whether they buy or sell. Guo Jie's master and apprentice lost their vision in the last life, and they were worried that the nine spirit swords would be bullied by the store if they were sold together, so they sold them separately, and the value of the nine spirit weapons was admittedly not low, but compared with the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, it was still far behind. In the previous life, it was a small shop that revealed the information of Guo Jie's master and apprentice.

Ye Qiu and the four of them entered the HSBC Hall, Ye Qiu asked the shopkeeper with a squirting posture if there was a spiritual weapon, the shopkeeper of the big shop was not weak in his ability to observe words and colors, and the four of them were not ordinary people, if they could really sell a spiritual weapon today, their own commission would be worth half a year's salary, and the shopkeeper hurriedly invited the four of them to sit in the VIP room on the second floor, and then said goodbye to Ye Qiu: "Son, you sit for a while, and the little one will go and invite the shopkeeper now." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper came in with a fat old man who was full of energy, and as soon as the fat old man came in, he said to Ye Qiu: "I don't know what to call this son? ”

Ye Qiu pretended to be embarrassed and said: "My surname is Ye Qiu, my name is Ye Qiu, I don't talk nonsense, I came to buy two good swords for my father and mother as gifts, and the last time it is a spiritual weapon, so don't take it out if it's too second." As the shopkeeper, the power of Jizhou is still clear, otherwise it is not a trivial matter to offend these young masters, Wu Yong heard the surname Ye, Jizhou Ye surnamed Wu Yong's first thought was the Yanbei Ye family, and there happened to be a descendant named Ye Qiu in the three generations of the Yanbei Ye family, not that Ye Qiu's fame was so loud in Jizhou, mainly because Ye Lingyun's reputation in Jizhou was too loud, and Ye Qiu was indeed a notorious waste who could not practice as a son of genius, and when I thought of Ye Qiu's words, my father and mother used a sword Wu Yong must be this young master.

Wu Yong said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Ye, as far as I know, the swords of Ling Zun and Ling Tang should be much better than those of the small shop, I am afraid that the swords in our shop are not worthy of Ling Zun and Ling Tang." ”

Ye Qiuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, you know my father?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "The name of the Easy Sword Immortal Ye Lingyun is like thunder, and Ling Zun's Qingfeng Sword is also made by a top refining master, and the small shop really doesn't have the sword of the Easy Sword Immortal." ”

Ye Qiu also smiled back and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, you are too worried, I just want to fulfill my responsibilities as a child and give them gifts, just get by." ”

"Since Young Master Ye said so, then I will be ugly. You sit down for a while, and I'll go and bring you two good quality spirit swords from our shop for you to admire. After Wu Yong finished speaking, he went out with the shopkeeper. After a while, Wu Yong and Xiao Er behind him came back with two sword boxes, Wu Yong opened one of them and introduced: "This sword is called Qinggang Sword, two feet eight inches long and three inches wide, mainly made of green steel, red copper, and tungsten iron. Immediately afterwards, Wu Yong opened another sword box and said: "This sword is called Red Sleeve, two feet and one inch long and one and a half inches wide, and is mainly made of mixed silver and tin. Young Master Ye, how about you take a look at these two swords?"

Ye Qiu took the green steel and red sleeves and threw them to He Jin and said, "Uncle He, how about you try these two swords?" He Jin understood what Ye Qiu meant, before he came, Ye Qiu told He Jin that when the time came, in the name of trying the sword, one refused to buy it, and the other was to show his strength and demonstrate as much as possible, Ye Qiu didn't think about letting Zhong Bo come, but thinking that Zhong Bo was cultivating sword intent, he didn't let Zhong Bo come. He Jin took the green steel sword, held it in his hand and penetrated the aura, the light of the green steel sword rose sharply and gave birth to a three-inch sword, He Jin then tried the red sleeves again, there was no problem with the operation of the aura, it seems that the quality of the two swords is still good, Wu Yong saw He Jin try the sword after the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was proud, and He Jin was ashamed. In fact, it is no wonder that the quality of He Jin's two swords is indeed good, and they can fully withstand He Jin's aura.

But Wu Yong didn't know about this situation and asked with a smile: "Young Master Ye, are you still satisfied?"

Ye Qiu couldn't even buy a handful of money on him, and just wanted to refuse with his appearance, Uncle Zhong preemptively said, "Little Young Master let the old slave try it?"

Ye Qiu looked at Uncle Zhong in shock, Uncle Zhong gave him a reassuring look, and Ye Qiu nodded and motioned for Uncle Zhong to give it a try. Zhongbo took the green steel sword from He Jin's hand and let everyone stand behind him, Wu Yong saw Zhongbo at first and thought it was an ordinary housekeeper or something, but when he saw Zhongbo holding the sword, he knew how wrong he was.

After holding the sword, Zhongbo completely judged the two of them, and at this time, Zhongbo's eyes became sharp, and a strong aura emanated from Zhongbo, and Zhongbo shouted softly: "Go you!!"

I saw that the sword light that burst out of the green steel sword was ten times that of He Jin, and it was three feet, and the sword light was still increasing, but the sword body was already vibrating constantly, making a buzzing sound, and it was almost unbearable, in fact, the most frightening thing was not the three-foot sword light, but the sword intent, and everyone felt a sky-high sword intent, which made people's hearts palpitate.

At this time, some monks passing by outside the HSBC Hall shop glanced at the HSBC Hall with awe in their eyes. Zhongbo collected the aura and sword intent, and returned the sword to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu looked at Uncle Zhong with a look of shock and doubt at this time, Uncle Zhong nodded to Ye Qiu with a smile, seeing Uncle Zhong nodding, Ye Qiu smiled and took the Qinggang sword, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the Qinggang sword. Then Zhongbo tried the red Hidden Blade again, and the sword began to vibrate in less than a foot. After trying the two swords, Uncle Zhong said: "The quality of this sword of the green steel sword will be good, mainly because the size of the sword is too thick and heavy to fit the young master's swordsmanship, and the red sleeve sword is so light and agile that it fits Miss's swordsmanship, but the material is too inferior to withstand Miss's aura irrigation." After Zhong Bo finished speaking, he stopped talking, and turned into an old housekeeper and stood silently beside Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu said to Wu Yong, who had not fully recovered his senses: "Shopkeeper Wu, do you think this will work, isn't this about to come to the annual trading conference, I think there will definitely be a lot of good things, if there is a good sword to sell to you recently, or you have received a good sword, you will inform me that it is feasible?"

Wu Yong came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, don't worry, you give me your current address, if there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

"Then I'll thank Shopkeeper Wu for your trouble, I also want to buy some qi and blood increasing herbs or pills from you, I don't know what they are?" Ye Qiu inherited the alchemy skills of the Flood Era, and now these pills either can't be practiced or are lost, so Ye Qiu wants to know about the current situation, because he has never practiced martial arts before, he doesn't know anything about the pills.

The current pill is divided into two kinds, pill and medicine, medicine includes potions, medicinal soup, medicinal diet, etc., there are formulas, understand pharmacology, and more practice can be configured, and pills need to be refined into pills, not everyone will need to be talented, not only to understand pharmacology, but also to be able to control the fire, and to refine the elixir, you also need to be able to use aura. Therefore, the pill is divided into pharmacist and pill master, the medicine prepared by the pharmacist can cure diseases and help the cultivation of the martial arts realm, and the pill master is the pill that can be refined into a shape, for the monk, the medicine made by the pharmacist can only be used in the martial arts realm to replenish qi and blood and enhance the qi and blood to the spiritual transformation realm above the need for the pill, because only after the pill is formed can the aura be locked, which is beneficial to the monk's practice. Alchemists are also divided into ordinary pills and spirit pills, the spirit pill masters can refine the spirit pills, and the pills refined by the pills are mainly for the martial arts realm to replenish qi and blood and a very small number of spirit pills.

Wu Yong introduced some of the current mainstream pills to Ye Qiu, the first two realms in the martial arts realm, the Peiyuan realm and the blood coagulation realm are mainly based on taking qi and blood, and the last two realms of the martial arts realm need more energy, so most of them are mainly pills, mainly Xuanyuan Dan and Jin Wudan. Ye Qiu bought some qi and blood, and Ye Qiu found that the herbs of Pei Yuan Dan and Cleansing Pill that he wanted to refine were similar to the materials of Qi and Blood and Xuanyuan Dan, so he bought a lot of herbs for these two kinds of pills. After buying the pill, Ye Qiu and the four of them said goodbye, and then Ye Qiu used similar means to finish the shops in the town that could accept and sell weapons. Then Ye Qiu was about to go back to the inn to prepare to refine the elixir, Mingyue was still unsatisfied, Ye Qiu asked He Jin to accompany Mingyue to go to the town for a walk, and then Mingyue jumped up and down with He Jin.

After Ye Qiu and the four of them left, Wu Yong came to the back hall of the shop and said to a middle-aged and sturdy man, "What level do you estimate the old man he is at just now?"

The sturdy man said: "Judging from the sword ray, it should be in the Dragon Gate Realm, but that sword intent is really amazing, it must be a sword master, and the actual combat power is estimated to be comparable to the Wind Realm." ”

After listening to Wu Yongsi, he asked for a third-generation heir of the Ye family to make a Longmen Realm monk an entourage, I don't know if Ye Qiu has a high status in the Ye family or if the strength of the Ye family is far beyond the superficial strength that everyone knows, no matter which one it is, it will not be wrong for Wu Yong to befriend Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu returned to the inn and began to prepare to refine Pei Yuan Dan and Cleansing Pill, Ye Qiu's inherited Dan Dao did not have a formula for refining medicinal liquids, even when he was in the first and second realms of martial arts, it was all pills, so it was very difficult for Ye Qiu to refin. Pei Yuan Dan is mainly to replenish qi and blood to strengthen the foundation of Pei Yuan, as the name suggests, the marrow washing pill has the effect of washing the marrow, which can improve the hematopoietic ability, and with Pei Yuan Dan and other pills that supplement qi and blood, it can make the qi and blood more thick. Because of the decline of aura, it is becoming more and more difficult to become a pill, and the timing and heat requirements for refining medicinal materials are getting higher and higher. In this era, if you want to refine a pill, you don't need to follow the steps of the recipe, just pay attention to the time interval and some details in the process, it can be said that the difficulty of refining a first-grade pill is comparable to that of a third- or fourth-level medicinal liquid. Ye Qiu now simulated it in his mind several times and then began to work on alchemy, it took Ye Qiu two or two hours, Ye Qiu failed three times and none of them succeeded, every time he wanted to become a pill, there was always something missing, but Ye Qiu found that it was only the failure of Cheng Dan, and after the medicinal materials became liquid, they still retained about fifty percent of the medicinal properties, and the medicinal properties of these fifty percent were more than one step stronger than qi and blood.

Two hours of refining made Ye Qiu's spirit feel a little tired, you must know that Ye Qiu is a person who cultivates soul power, although as long as he is willing to learn, he can become a pharmacist, but even if it is just the process of configuring the medicinal liquid, it is not simple, it requires a lot of energy, not to mention that Ye Qiu wants to become a pill, and he needs to pay full attention, if the interval time or which detail is not right, it will fall short, so alchemy is a very soul-draining thing, but alchemy has a benefit, that is, it is helpful for Ye Qiu to cultivate the soul cultivation technique. Ye Qiu found that since the liquid liquid liquid was also fine, he could only settle for the second best thing, and take his time to use the liquid medicine first. In the next few days, Ye Qiu used all his strength to refine Pei Yuan Liquid and Pei Yuan Liquid every morning, and then practiced the Soul Nourishing Formula, and in the afternoon, he used the Essence Washing Liquid and Pei Yuan Liquid to cultivate Yuan Qi, Ye Qiu's soul power and qi and blood were rising steadily, Zhong Bo saw that Ye Qiu was not proud of having such a top-level inheritance, and he was very satisfied with his cultivation.
