Hearing the words "Qingyang Mountain Range Genius Battle", Zhou Shang's face also became a little solemn, paused, and said: "This is the competition that we hold every five years in Qingyang City. The age limit for participants is under 20 years old, and the city covers the entire Qingyang Mountain Range. Therefore, at that time every five years, more than a hundred young strong people from dozens of gang forces and families go to the competition. Since it is jointly organized by the four major families, the gold content of the genius battle in the Qingyang Mountain Range is very high, and every time there will be a peak of the Spirit Rhino Realm and even a powerhouse of the Earth Realm. The genius battle will finally determine the top three, and the reward will be the place in the Black Mountain Blood Pool. Every session of our Zhou Mansion will send young and strong people from the Mansion to participate, and the last session was too young and too weak, so that year's competition had nothing to do with me. But in this year's talent battle, I will definitely play. Zhou Jian participated in the last genius battle, but he was eliminated early in the first round because his strength was too weak. But next year he will be exactly 20 years old, and with the strength he has accumulated over the years, he will be able to maximize the advantage of the game. ”

"I see. Xue Yi nodded. It was also the first time he had heard of such a competition. Four years ago, not long after he entered the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shang was still a child, and it was normal for him not to know this kind of thing. No wonder Zhou Jian was so arrogant that day, it turned out that he also had this capital. According to his strength, it will be easy to get a good ranking in next year's talent battle.

"What's the use of this place in the Black Mountain Blood Pool?" Xue Yi asked with some confusion. He was indeed curious about the spot. The genius battle with such a large gold content is rewarded with a mysterious place, is this place something very precious?

To Xue Yi's surprise, Zhou Shang also shook his head: "I don't know either." This Black Mountain Blood Pool quota is very mysterious, and my father has never mentioned it to me. However, there is no doubt about the preciousness of this place. Because in the previous talent battles, all parties involved will try every means to get a place, and even use all means to get a place, which shows their eager desire for this place. I also heard my father and my mother say that the quota of this Black Mountain Blood Pool can even affect the rise and fall of the Zhou Mansion. ”

"So important!" Xue Yi was also taken aback. You must know that this is just a competition for young talents to participate in, and such a heavy reward is a bit inappropriate, right?

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Yi found another clue. This day's talent battle was jointly organized by the four major families, and the reward was in their hands. In this case, with the strength of the four major families, it is completely possible to divide this quota by itself, so why bother to hold another genius battle to make it possible for the quota to flow into other families?

Thinking about it this way, the gold content of this Black Mountain Blood Pool quota is definitely far beyond his imagination, and its huge background may not even be able to afford the four major families, and the right to speak about the quota is very likely not in the hands of the four major families, they are just agents of this genius war.

However, although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he didn't say it to Zhou Shang. These are just his speculations, and they are related to the secrets of the Zhou Mansion. Since Zhou Yuntian didn't want to say it easily, it would be better not to say more.

The unhappiness of encountering Zhou Jian was quickly left behind by Xue Yi. His most urgent thing at the moment is to improve his strength. In the next few days, Xue Yi stuffed himself in the courtyard between himself and Zhou Shang, and learned the few combat techniques borrowed from the library pavilion thoroughly. Originally, second-order combat skills were actually not so easy to learn, and it was already very good for ordinary people to be able to learn a second-order combat skill within a week, so at the beginning, Xue Yi lent three combat skills in one go and promised to return them within a week, which was also said by Zhou Shang to be greedy and chewy. However, Xue Yi is now regarded as the return of Wuyue and does not look at the mountain, and the difficulty of this kind of combat skill is not a matter at all in his opinion. You must know that the Shadow Footwork is a sixth-order combat skill, and the Tianyuan Town Demon Finger is a god-level combat skill that even Haiyuan has a dignified face. I've even waded through the water of these two combat skills, and I still care about this simple second-order combat skill?

Therefore, six days, two days. Six days later, these three combat skills have been displayed decently in Xue Yi's hands, although they are not yet proficient in Dacheng, but they can be regarded as the first glimpse of the way, as long as they spend some more time polishing, they will not lose to those who have been practicing hard for many years. The comprehension speed of this amazing skill made Zhou Shang, who had been watching Xue Yi's jokes on the side, stunned and exclaimed perverted.

Now, although Xue Yi's combat power level is still at the fifth layer of the Spirit Rhino Realm, his true strength is more than just as simple as it seems. The Shadow Footwork plus the Tian Yuan Town Demon Finger, coupled with the Fallen Leaf Realm Body Law Realm, and the powerful increase in the extreme attributes, already made him too far ahead of people of the same level. Now he continues to absorb the advantages of various combat techniques, make up for his own shortcomings, balance offense and defense, and enrich means. Moreover, in terms of exploration, he secretly has Xiaobi to assist. Combined, these abilities can definitely make a formidable opponent. If others were like this, he would treat him as an ordinary boy at the fifth level of the Spirit Rhino Realm, and he would definitely taste the taste of kicking the iron plate.

Studying in the Zhou Mansion, and having nothing to do with Zhou Shang, Xue Yi's life was very peaceful. He has no plans to travel far in the near future. First, the Qingyang auction is about to start, and I can't leave for too long, and second, my recent interests are mainly focused on the study of Yanshi's art and the reading of the Zhou Mansion's library pavilion, which are not suitable for carrying out in the barren mountains and mountains. In the past, his status was too low, and he didn't have the opportunity to enter the library to read wantonly, but now he has the opportunity, and he will certainly not let go of him who loves reading. In addition to practicing combat skills and studying the art of Yanshi all day long, he stayed in the library and read all kinds of books, like a dry sponge that encountered water, absorbing it hungrily.

For Xue Yi's daily visits, the Nine Elders of the Pavilion of the Library Pavilion were also accustomed to it. At the beginning, Xue Yi had to ask him for instructions when he entered every day, but now he directly turned a blind eye and let Xue Yi come in and out. Of course, Xue Yi's etiquette has never been less, and he respectfully salutes him every time before entering, and he doesn't forget to say goodbye to him before leaving.

As for Xue Yi's regular combat technique every two days, the Ninth Elder didn't say anything, but the two men at the door were stunned. They couldn't imagine how Xue Yi could comprehend a second-order combat technique in two days, and he could also combine all kinds of combat skills.

Of course, none of this is a problem for Xue Yi.

He only knew that his combat power level was close to the bottleneck again, and he was not far from the sixth layer of the Spirit Rhino Realm.

Time passed day by day, and half a month of time passed in a flash. In two days, it will be the opening day of the Qingyang auction.

With the Qingyang auction approaching, Xue Yi obviously felt the fiery atmosphere. Every day, there are several times more pedestrians than in the past passing on the official road next to Zhou Town, driving to Qingyang City in the west, and some people will even spend the night in the town. Xue Yi observed the aura of these people and found that more than eighty percent of them had combat power fluctuations, and they were obviously cultivators. Among these people, there is even a strong existence.

However, Zhou Yuntian has never returned home due to his work. Therefore, the preparations for the Qingyang auction fell on the head of the logistics affairs of the Zhou Mansion - Zhou Yuntian's wife, that is, Zhou Shang's mother Cai Chun.

For a period of time after joining the Zhou Mansion, Xue Yi was also fortunate to meet the lady of the mansion lord, who rarely showed her head on weekdays. Only then did he be surprised to know that this woman who looked gentle and virtuous was not only a shrewd and capable woman who held the power of the logistics affairs of the Zhou Mansion and Zhou Yuntian's virtuous helper, but also a powerful Sky Realm powerhouse. Such a strong woman who is both civil and military, secretly presiding over the operation of the Zhou Mansion, makes Xue Yi have to admire three points.

Therefore, the preparation for this auction was taken over by her, and there was no mistake at all. The preparation of the treasures to be delivered to the auction, the mobilization of funds, the staffing of the visitors, and the arrangement of security personnel are all in order. This made Zhou Shang, who was originally willing to help, also happy to be idle, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in his house to collect the private money that he had hidden on weekdays, ready to buy himself some favorite good things.

"Hey, Zhou Shang, are you alright, it's time to hit the road!" Xue Yi was dressed lightly, with a blazing blade hanging on his waist, Xiao Bi lying on his shoulder, standing in the courtyard heroically, shouting at Zhou Shang, who was still in the house and didn't know what to look for.

Today is the day when the people of the Zhou Mansion who attended the auction leave. Although the opening of the auction is still two days away, the auction items need to be delivered in advance, and the team and personnel also need to be scheduled, so they have to leave today. But the team was about to leave, but Zhou Shang still didn't show up.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhou Shang rushed out of the house while sorting out his messy coat, "I don't know where I put my three thousand gold coins, and I can't find death, I'm really depressed!"
