() Recall that the path of cultivation in the Great Red Realm is divided into nine realms: foundation building, pure spirit, harmony, primordial infant, emptiness, cave void, silence, Mahayana, and tribulation. Every cultivator is familiar with these names, but for some ordinary people, if they don't care much about cultivating the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to distinguish between the higher and lower realms of harmony and the realm of cave and void.

The cultivation path of the Yu Yu Realm also has a hierarchy, but Xiao Tianhe has not heard of it from the mouths of the leading team, so when he heard a "three-talent sword immortal" at first glance, he didn't know why at all. It just so happened that the person who snatched the treasure was afraid that he would have a backhand, so he didn't use his real skills when he fought at first, but made Xiao Tianhe mistakenly think that he was not enough. When he swung out a sword qi, Xiao Tianhe suddenly realized the gap between the strength of the enemy and me.

Regarding Xiao Tianhe's question about the "Three Talents Sword Immortal", Fan Lingyun explained: "The so-called 'Three Talents' is a stage of the cultivation realm of a cultivator, and it is also a level of strength appraisal. In the Yuyu realm, after the primary cultivator, the junior cultivator is a lower-level cultivator, and only after obtaining the title of 'subordinate' can he be qualified for subsequent strength evaluation. There are strict standards for the division of each level, and the two grades of primary and lower level are only preparations, and the boundaries are relatively vague, and they are not considered real strength levels. Since the primary and lower levels, they are respectively one yuan, two yi, three talents, four elephants, five elements, **, seven stars, eight trigrams, and nine palaces, and these nine levels are the recognized cultivation levels in the world. The 'Three Talents' Sword Immortal just now, although it is not powerful, is also beyond your fourth rank, and it cannot be matched. ”

Xiao Tianhe said it silently in his heart, and there were a few words that were still very familiar.

If you want to talk about the "five elements", the Great Red Realm has been widely spread. The Five Elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, think about the six battle platforms on the Tiandao Mountain of the Taiqing Sect in the Qinglong Continent that were used to hold the Taiqing Martial Arts Meeting, except for the Yanhuang Battle Platform among them, the remaining five are named after the legendary gods of the five elements - the golden god of the harvest, the wood god Jumang, the water god Gonggong, the fire god Zhurong, and the earth god Houtu.

"**", Xiao Tianhe also knew. The east, south, west and north quadripart, plus up and down, are a total of six directions, collectively referred to as **. I don't know if the "this**" he is familiar with is the same as the "other **" that Fan Lingyun said.

When it came to the "Seven Stars", Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but think of the "Seven Star Sword" among the eighteen peerless immortal swords in the Qinglong Continent, which happened to be ranked seventh. Because he was from a treasure exploration trip to the Green Cloud Swamp in Youlong County, he was naturally impressed. In addition, there is also a folk saying of "Seven Stars", but it does not refer to the peerless fairy sword, but the "Big Dipper" - Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang. I don't know what the "seven stars" in this Yu Yu realm refer to?

"Gossip", that's all too familiar. Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Xun, Zhen, Gen, Dui, representing the sky, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountain, Ze, gossip derived from sixty-four hexagrams, can divinate the good and bad in the world, and is also quite common in the formation. For example, the Shuzang Palace is a large array arranged according to the innate gossip.

Seeing that Xiao Tianhe was silent in thought, Fan Lingyun said: "Actually, you don't have to understand it very thoroughly now, at present, these nine levels are just a name, and when you cultivate to a certain level, you will naturally understand the mystery." ”

Xiao Tianhe nodded: "You know General Yong, it seems that you are also a demon cultivator, do you know what rank General Yong is?"

"General Yong should be a seven-star junior sword demon, Marshal Xin is a seven-star senior sword demon, and Emperor Lingwei is a gossip sword demon. Fan Lingyun simply reported the ranks of several celebrities.

"Lingwei Emperor is the gossip level?" Xiao Tianhe was a little surprised, in his mind, how could the "Great Emperor" have to be "Nine Palace Level".

"Shhh Do you think that the Nine Palace level is so easy to cultivate? If you reach the ** level, you are already a rare master, and you will inevitably be attracted by the generals, marshals, and even the emperor. At present, the five emperors of the demon clan and the five lords of the immortal clan are all gossip-level. If you really cultivate to the Nine Palace level, you are about to turn mortal into a saint and become a sword venerable and a true existence of the sword, how can you have extra energy to become an emperor and a great monarch?"

"Oh...... Is there a nine-palace level master in the world?" Xiao Tianhe's curiosity was never satisfied.

Fan Lingyun nodded firmly: "There must be, but most of them don't know who they are, let alone where." ”

"I see. Xiao Tianhe thought to himself, "Isn't this the same as the Mahayana and Tribulation Period masters of the Great Red Realm?"

"Then if you cultivate from a sword demon and a sword immortal to a sword venerable and a sword truth, do you have to go through the test of the Heavenly Tribulation?" Xiao Tianhe asked again.

"Of course. However, unlike the name of the 'Tribulation' in the Nether Realm, the final test of the path of cultivation in the Yu Yu Realm is called 'Entering the Product', although no one knows what the specific process is, but it is definitely much more difficult than the 'Heavenly Tribulation' you have passed. ”

"'Entry', that's what it's called...... How do I feel...... It's a bit vulgar, isn't it?" In the end, Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but laugh.

Fan Lingyun was also happy: "Aren't you quite vulgar yourself? It's really interesting to exchange things like silver for things." ”

Xiao Tianhe smiled helplessly.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was a strange place in Fan Lingyun's words, why did she say "change" instead of "buy"?

No, this is not the first time he has heard the word "change", Xiao Tianhe remembered that after being kicked out of the stable by the shop that sold horses, a person on the street once ridiculed: "It's whimsical to want to change horses with a little broken silver!"

The use of "exchange" instead of "buying" shows that silver is not the circulating currency of Yuyu.

"By the way, no wonder before entering the stable, the shopkeeper said, 'The price is 800 baht, not a single one!' At that time, I was very anxious to buy horses, but he said that the number of broken silver should not be less, but now I think about it, a piece of broken silver is only one tael, half a tael, and a full 2,500 baht is more than a hundred, how can anyone take so many scattered pieces of silver to buy things?

The reason for all this is this, the so-called 'money' in the Yu Yu realm is not gold and silver at all!" Xiao Tianhe finally figured it out.

If money is not silver or gold, then what is?

Xiao Tianhe carefully recalled his experience after going down to the Yuyu realm, how could it be so coincidental, he should have seen the opportunity of "money", but he didn't see it. When he was drinking in Wanxian Tower in Feiyun City, he happened to meet Yang Wankong's gang to stir up trouble, and Wang Luoliu was exempted from the wine money at the end. In the conversation with several members of the leading team, they only mentioned the word "Yulu", but did not mention what money was. Before leaving, Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang prepared all the things Xiao Tianhe needed, and they didn't need to buy anything. In this way, there is always "no chance to see".

"Actually, you can't blame me for this, in the Nether, gold and silver are precious goods, and I took it for granted that I used it to buy horses, and I was regarded by the stable shop as a boring pastime. Xiao Tianhe told the story from beginning to end.

Fan Lingyun laughed while listening, and when she heard that Xiao Tianhe was kicked out of the stable by the shopkeeper, she leaned back and laughed even more: "No wonder, the shopkeeper wanted to have the opportunity to slaughter the stunned head, but the bamboo basket was empty, if it were me, I would be angry." But think about it from another angle, a lame horse dares to offer a price of two thousand five hundred, and the harness is actually five hundred, which is simply blacker than charcoal, blacker than paint, blacker than ink, blacker than soap, blacker than crows, blacker than night, so black that it can't be darker anymore, fortunately you are stupid, or you will lose a lot of money!" Fan Lingyun said six black things in a row, but they were not enjoyable, and Shang Jue couldn't describe the greed of the shopkeeper.

"How do I know? I just feel that I have a relationship with that black horse, and according to the ratio of the lower realm, more than 100 taels of silver are expensive, but they are still acceptable. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"Do you really like that lame horse?" Fan Lingyun asked suddenly.

Xiao Tianhe's eyes widened: "What, you want to buy it and give it to me?"

"Phew, you think it's beautiful!" Fan Lingyun scolded with a smile, "I'm also an empty-handed master, where do I get the spare money to squander with you?" I want to give you a suggestion, if you want that horse, you can exchange it for other valuable items." ”

"What item?storage ring?" Xiao Tianhe knew that silver was "worthless", coupled with his previous experience, when he mentioned "valuable items", he naturally thought of the storage ring.

"Use the storage ring to exchange for a horse, or a lame horse?" Fan Lingyun really couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you so stupid?" I mean are there any extra magic weapons, elixirs, magic knives and the like, which don't have to be too valuable, so as not to make the store make too much money." ”

In addition to Meng Zhangpei and the Qingyu ring, the magic weapon of the "superfluous ......" Xiao Tianhe only has the fake "Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger", but it was given by Marshal Xin, and it has the "amplification" effect that Xiao Tianhe loves, of course, it can't be used to change horses. A few bottles of pills were prepared by Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang for Xiao Tianhe during the competition, and they could not be exchanged. Among the magic knives, the Sky Splitting Knife cannot be used at will, so the knife given by General Yong is considered the main weapon, and neither of them is "redundant". Thinking of this, Xiao Tianhe suddenly slapped his head: "I almost forgot, there is indeed a superfluous magic knife!" He spread out his palms, and a magic knife with green light appeared in his hand, which was the blue wind knife that Lu Xiaoyan found for Xiao Tianhe from Duhai Tower.

"Show me. Fan Lingyun took the Bifeng knife, turned it over and over for a while, and said with a smile, "Although it is not a good knife, it is enough to change a lame horse." Let's go!" she stood up.

"Where are you going? to change horses?" Xiao Tianhe said in surprise, "It's late at night, returning to Overwatch City?"

"Didn't you go shopping for horses in the middle of the night? What's the difference between an hour earlier and an hour later? Let me tell the shopkeeper that if he wants to, he will be willing, and if he is not willing, he will break your thoughts, isn't it? Fan Lingyun said, stepping on the fire with a few feet.

So the two of them walked back to the city and came to the stable door.

"You knock on the door. Xiao Tianhe pouted at the knocker.

Fan Lingyun laughed and said, "Look at your way of being scared!" She just thought that Xiao Tianhe was picked up by the shopkeeper and was scared.

Xiao Tianhe didn't say much, just smiled. In fact, he was keeping an eye on the people around him. Since the person who grabbed the treasure in the first place had seen Xiao Tianhe holding a silver ingot, he must have been on the street in front of the stable at that time. Now there's a good chance he's back here to rest. After glancing at it, Xiao Tianhe was a little relieved, everyone was not interested in the two of them, and no suspicious characters were found.

After hearing the knock on the door, the stable shopkeeper came to answer the door for a long time, and muttered in his mouth, as if he was very tired of the disturbance in the middle of the night, but after opening the small window, he saw that the knocker was a smiling girl, and his unhappy expression was suddenly swept away, and his attitude was very kind, and he asked, "What is the matter with the girl?" Do you want to buy ......?" The word "horse" was still in his mouth, but the words stopped abruptly, because he saw Xiao Tianhe a few steps behind the woman. The two men apparently came together.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said impatiently, "Hugh will come again!" and then he had to close the window.

Fan Lingyun stretched out his hand and stuck the Bifeng knife on the pane, and said with a smile: "How can the store not do business when it encounters?"

"Hmph, that kid has no money, you can pay for him if you have money!" The shopkeeper was not angry, "A horse is two thousand five hundred beads, and none of them will be sold!"

"I don't have any money. Fan Lingyun said, "You dare to ask for two thousand five hundred beads for a broken horse, and the mouth of the lion is not as big as you, isn't it too dark?"

"You're still buying it if it's dark?"

"Don't talk to you too much. We don't have any money, but we can trade it with you. ”

"Magic Knife? It depends on what it looks like. ”

"The crippled horse still wants to change the knife?

The shopkeeper took a closer look at the magic knife stuck in the pane, and then repeatedly

Shaking his head: "No, no, no, where is this knife worth two thousand five hundred beads?"

"You can't sell your horse anyway, what else do you want?"

"The horse is to be slaughtered for meat......

Fan Lingyun suddenly made a face and said sharply: "No one wanted to be lame before, so you naturally planned to kill it for meat." Now that someone wants it, you still don't let go, just to eat meat, isn't it more cost-effective for you to sell this knife and go to a restaurant to buy meat? What are your thoughts, you and I know very well, but using a lame horse to pit people is too deceitful. I advise you to take the knife and give us the horses with the harnesses, and we will remember you well, and we will promote it for you in the future. If you don't, hum, you will be notorious in the future, and I will guarantee that you will have no business to do in this stable in the future!"

Fan Lingyun was coaxed and frightened, and the shopkeeper really softened: "Since you are sincere in asking for horses, then I can make it convenient." But the harness will not give you new ones, only the old ones. ”

Fan Lingyun pouted: "It's really death to take advantage." That's it, the old is the old, open the door!"

The shopkeeper led the two to the cripple horse's trough, and went to the room to get a pair of half-used harness and put it on, and after taking the Bifeng knife, he stuffed the reins into Xiao Tianhe's hand: "You two don't need to promote it for me, just don't tell me about tonight." ”

Fan Lingyun was happy when he heard this: "I don't have any shame when you are you!"

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "Business is difficult, be considerate! ”

After leaving the stables, the two did not stay long in the streets, and went out of the city through the north gate.

The black horse followed Xiao Tianhe tamely, and licked his hands from time to time.

Xiao Tianhe was in a good mood and thanked Fan Lingyun: "This matter can be done, Miss Fan is sharp-toothed, Xiao admires!"

"You're probably the only one in the world who wants a lame horse, right? Although that magic knife is not a treasure, it is indeed a bit of a loss to change horses. Fan Lingyun said with a smile. I don't know if the big black horse understood her words, and seemed to snort dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Tianhe waved his hand: "It's okay, that knife was originally superfluous, and I think it's worth it in exchange for this horse's life." Before Fan Lingyun could interface, the big black horse hissed happily.

Fan Lingyun glanced at the black horse in surprise: "I can't imagine that this animal really has spirituality, and can understand praise and criticism?"

Xiao Tianhe laughed: "My vision is naturally not wrong. We've been busy for half the night, and we don't have a suitable place to spend the night, so why don't we go on horseback? This horse is lame, but it is natural, not the result of injury, and even if it is unbearable to run long distances, it can at least carry us for a while, how about it?"

"It's fine. ”

The two of them climbed on their horses from the left and right sides, the saddle groove was very wide, and they sat without crowding, each holding the reins on one side, and walked along the road in a rhythmic bump.

On the way, the two chatted. Xiao Tianhe learned that Fan Lingyun's home was in the distant Jiye City, and it was not even under the jurisdiction of Emperor Lingwei. Fan Lingyun's parents originally planned to marry their daughter to the son of a large family after she obtained the qualification of a low-level sword demon. Fan Lingyun had no intention of getting married, and she couldn't resist her parents, so she had to come up with the strategy of "escaping from marriage", and came all the way to Feiyun District to participate in the evaluation competition, with the purpose of returning to her hometown after mixing some eyebrows in the demon army, presumably her parents would not force her to marry again.

Fan Lingyun also asked about the Nether Realm, Xiao Tianhe could say what he wanted, Cain was hidden, and described the situation of cultivating demons in the Great Red Realm vividly, and she listened to it with relish.

Xiao Tianhe also asked about the currency of the Yu Yu Realm, but Fan Lingyun's money had already been spent on the way to Feiyun District, and she could only tell Xiao Tianhe that it was a round gem, and its value was named "pearl". Only then did Xiao Tianhe understand that it was originally a "pearl" instead of a "baht", no wonder it was measured by "pearls".

After chatting for a while, Fan Lingyun shouted that he wanted to get off the horse.

"This hasn't gone far yet, and it's not crowded in the saddle, why do you want to get off the horse?" Xiao Tianhe looked at Fan Lingyun who had already jumped to the ground in confusion.

"Alas, I also want to save some effort, but it is too upset, and it makes me sore and dizzy. I'm 'blessed' to ride a horse, I think I'd better lead the horse for you!"

Xiao Tianhe laughed when he heard this, and lay comfortably on his back on the saddle.

......

Maybe it's because he's never carried anyone, but before dawn, the big black horse was already covered in sweat. Xiao Tianhe took pity on the horse and also dismounted and walked.

In the middle of the day, there was a high-pitched neighing from the back of the avenue, the sound of horses' hooves galloping closer and closer, and the sound of wooden wheels tumbling. Xiao Tianhe said in his heart which rich and powerful contestant this is, so he pulled the big black horse to the side of the road to avoid it.

The carriage walked to the two of them, only to hear a long call, but stopped, the dust rolled up, Xiao Tianhe covered his nose with his sleeve, and the other sleeve fanned the dust again, glaring at the driver dissatisfiedly, but he didn't want the driver to also happen to stand on the wheel and look at him.

"Do you know each other?" Fan Lingyun asked in a low voice.

Xiao Tianhe shook his head, since it was a human face, he didn't look at it anymore, and led the horse to walk forward by himself.

"Slow down, two!" shouted the man in the car.

When he turned around, the man had jumped out of the car and asked Xiao Tianhe: "Dare to ask the son is Xiao Tianhe?"

"Exactly. Xiao Tianhe wondered why this person knew him.

The man bowed deeply to Xiao Tianhe respectfully, and said with a smile: "Great." I only heard that Xiao Gongzi was on the road alone, but it turned out that there was a companion, and he almost didn't recognize it. On the orders of my master, I gave this carriage to Xiao Gongzi so that I could quickly go to the Zongpiao Realm. ”

Xiao Tianhe felt inexplicable, and arched his hand and said, "Xiao is grateful for the good intentions." But I wonder who your owner is?"
