There is no time in the mountains.

Before I knew it, more than two months had passed. After the New Year's festival last month, it's already February.

Lu Chengfeng, who had once again completed his morning class cultivation, let out a breath and slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the more and more full fighting energy in his body, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Although it wasn't a long time, with the help of many advantages, he had already raised his strength to the fourth-order high level at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people!

It won't take long for you to really advance to the fifth rank.

After looking inwardly at the cyclone that had grown a lot in his body, Lu Chengfeng got up and moved his somewhat stiff body, and then pushed open the paper window of the thatched house. Some cold wind suddenly blew in, and some fine ice crystals were swept in along the way. As far as the eye can see, the sky outside is overcast, the ground is covered in white, and it is actually snowing - this is a rare thing for Qingming Mountain, and it may not be encountered once in a few years!

Curious, many of the swordsmen who practiced here walked out of the retreat courtyard and enjoyed the snowy scene.

Just when Lu Chengfeng was about to come out for a walk, there was a sudden commotion outside, and someone could vaguely hear someone shouting, "The master of the dojo is back!"

The owner of the dojo?

Lu Chengfeng suddenly became curious, and quickened his pace and pushed the door out.

It's been almost three months since he came to the Qingying Dojo, and Lu Chengfeng really hasn't seen who the owner of the Qingming Dojo is. It's just that I overheard the Qingyi attendant say that the contemporary sword master of the Qingying Dojo is a ninth-order sword sect that has comprehended the sword momentum, and it has only been less than sixty years since he has cultivated, so he has a great hope of stepping into the holy rank. The other martial artists probably also wanted to meet this ninth-order powerhouse, and after hearing the news, some of them who had not planned to come out now hurriedly walked out of the retreat courtyard.

Following a few swordsmen, Lu Chengfeng soon saw the sword master of the dojo surrounded by many masters in the martial arts training field.

He was dressed casually, not wearing any powerful equipment, but a simple cyan tunic with a black-handled sword stuck at his waist. The falling snowflakes automatically drifted away when they were half a meter close to his body, as if there was an invisible force field. Although he was already seventy years old, his strong ninth-order strength made him still look middle-aged. Surrounded by everyone, his expression was indifferent, and he had a kind of commanding momentum on his body.

A master of the ninth order!

In the face of such a strong man, Lu Chengfeng also has a bit of respect. Before he was reborn, he had only just touched the threshold of entering the ninth order. Although it is said that with the combat power of the lightsaber royal family, it is completely possible to fight beyond the ranks, but it does not mean that you can despise other strong people at will, that is too arrogant.

"Are you all ready?"

As he spoke, he saw more and more retreat martial artists coming out, and the sword master of the dojo asked his entourage. Upon confirmation, he coughed and made a silencing gesture.

The huge martial arts training ground suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, there were sixty or seventy people in the entire martial arts training ground. The martial artists of these forces, from the fourth order to the eighth order, without exception, were all people with extraordinary talents. The most unfortunate thing is that the family is rich and powerful, so they can be sent in. Elsewhere, these haughty creatures aren't so obedient. But in front of this powerful ninth-order master, they all kept their respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support of the Blue Darkness Dojo. ”

Seeing that the martial arts training ground was quiet, the sword master bowed slightly in satisfaction to show his gratitude. In the midst of a large group of people busy returning the salute, he smiled and released a surprising news: "I think you also know that every two or three years, the dojo will hold the Qingying Sword Discussion. By now, it's almost 100 years. Among them, I alone have presided over the eleventh ......"

He was still in a hurry, and although the swordsmen around him didn't dare to make a loud noise, their faces were full of surprise.

"Qing Ming on the Sword!"

"The last one seemed like three years ago, right? ”

"Great, I didn't expect me to catch up!"

What is that? Lu Chengfeng looked at the swordsmen around him who were eager to try, and couldn't help but listen curiously. It just so happened that there were people next to him who didn't know why, and from the sword master who kindly explained to him, Lu Chengfeng learned the general situation of the Qing Ming Sword.

As he guessed, this sword discussion is nothing more than a kendo competition. Every two or three years, the Blue Shadow Dojo will be held randomly. The candidates were limited to martial artists who were training in the dojo at the time. If it's just like that, then it's nothing, the point is that every time you discuss the sword, the Qingying Dojo will prepare some valuable treasures. As long as you can get a good ranking, you can get a prize for free.

That's a big draw!

Although everyone knows that this is a propaganda method of the Qingying Dojo, there are still many martial artists who come here to practice one after another for that good prize. What Lu Chengfeng didn't expect was that he was so lucky to catch up with a grand event that only came once in two or three years.

At this time, seeing the excitement of the people around him, the sword master no longer took care of it, and directly announced the matter: "That's right, the hundredth Qingying Sword will start tomorrow." The rules are still the same as in previous editions, and they are divided into two types: Sword Fighting and Trial. If you don't understand something, you can look back at the notice board at the entrance of the dojo. It should be noted that since this is the 100th celebration, the awards prepared by our dojo are extraordinarily rich, so you must not miss it!"

After successfully whetting everyone's appetite, he waved his hand and said, "If there is no doubt, you can go down and prepare." When we compete with the heroes of the world tomorrow, we must show our best condition! Ten years of hard training will be today!"

Extraordinarily abundant awards?

Even a ninth-order master said this, and the martial artists present suddenly became excited. I don't know who shouted, and everyone flocked to the door of the dojo. Lu Chengfeng was also a little curious, and followed him to the notice board. Here, there have already been Tsing Yi attendants who have posted the rules and prizes of the Qing Ying Sword.

The first is the rules of the Qing Ying Sword.

Through the crowd, Lu Chengfeng saw a detailed explanation. As the sword master said before, the sword discussion is divided into two parts, one is the ring competition, and the other is the trial. Among them, the ring competition is mainly open to masters above the sixth order, and the elimination competition is used. As long as you can make it to the top three, you can choose one of the many prizes. Others who enter the top 10 will also receive a random commemorative gift.

As for the trial, only martial artists below the sixth rank are allowed to participate.

The content of the trial varies from year to year. According to well-informed people around me, in previous years, there were sword trials that compared the number of monsters killed, random team survival challenges, and the collection of specific materials, and so on. However, its greatest feature is fairness, and it is not entirely about force. It is true that the stronger the strength, the more advantageous you will be in the trial, but other resourcefulness, heart, perseverance, etc., are equally important.

This adds more variables to the trial.

In addition, the ring competition is mainly open to masters above the sixth order, but if there are low-level martial artists who think that their strength is extraordinary, they can also take the initiative to apply to participate. The trial only allows martial artists below the sixth order, ensuring that everyone is on the same line.

Such a setting made Lu Chengfeng secretly bow.

After reading the rules, Lu Chengfeng moved a few steps and came to the list of rewarded treasures provided, and immediately gasped - for the sake of this hundredth Qing Ying Sword, the Qing Ming Dojo has indeed invested a lot of money. The equipment to choose from includes a random piece of fifth-order inheritance-level equipment; the pills to choose from include the Heavenly Soul Resurrection Pill, which is claimed to be able to resurrect the dead, and the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill; in terms of combat skills, there are at least three secret sword skills above the seventh order; among the rare materials, there are Tears of Fire, Star Gold, and Colorful Fairy Orchid......

Any of these things are heavy treasures worth 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of gold!

In the previous auction in Kaiyang, a fifth-order rare-level weapon could be sold for about 100,000 gold coins. It is conceivable that the inheritance equipment with higher quality and is claimed to be priceless and marketable, and it is also a fifth order, it can definitely be easily sold for four or five hundred thousand gold coins. If the property is particularly good, even if the price is doubled, it is not impossible!

Even Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised, one can imagine how shocked and excited the other swordsmen would be when they saw such a rich prize.

Some of the old and steady masters are okay, at least they can maintain calm on the surface. Those who are relatively young and can't hold their breath are almost all like blowing up their nests, and they are talking about these prizes. There are even those who are arrogant, or who are conceited of their own strength, simply make a declaration and point out what they want. Looking at their triumphant posture, it was as if the prize had already been in their pockets before the fight began.

In addition to these people, there are also some who don't seem to care much about the prizes. They care more about their reputation, and they are ready to participate in the ring to defeat those who have already been recognized, and they are ready to become famous in one fell swoop.

Although there are not many people cultivating here, and the total number is only more than a hundred, there are all kinds of things in the market.

Lu Chengfeng looked at it with a smile for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The top prizes, even Lu Chengfeng is very tempted, it is certain that they will inevitably be fought for by several masters who participated in the ring competition. Even if they don't need it themselves, they can sell it or exchange it for something else. It can be said that without the strength above the seventh order, don't even think about it. Lu Chengfeng was unwilling to show his lightsaber in front of so many people, and secondly, he didn't have the strength to defeat the seventh-order or even eighth-order powerhouses, so he directly dispelled the idea of participating in the ring match.

However, in the trials that only martial artists below the sixth order are allowed to participate in, Lu Chengfeng is determined to win.

With his strength, an ordinary fifth-order master was not to be afraid at all. What's more, his realm is relatively low, and it is not easy to attract the attention of other opponents. No matter how you look at it, the situation is particularly favorable to him.
