Chapter 3: Shangguan Butterfly Dance
The clouds and wind meditated and rested, and the sky was already bright.
Today is the day when the monthly spirit stones and the trading market are open to the public, and it is also the day for the disciples of each peak and vein to gather and exchange. The Phantom Sword Sect is responsible for the distribution of spirit stones, and it is the Falling Moon Peak. Falling Moon Peak is a special vein of the Phantom Sword Sect, which only recruits female disciples, and the female disciples among them are all Tianzi and national colors. But to say that the most famous, the most enviable, is undoubtedly the most beautiful disciple Shangguan Butterfly Dance, who is a combination of beauty and talent, she entered the sect at the age of three, cultivated at the age of four, and is now only fourteen years old, a cultivator has reached the second realm of Taoist disciples to practice the tenth layer of the Qi realm, and the cultivation speed is rare to see in a hundred years, and more importantly, she has a look of the country, a pair of eyebrows like stars, white skin and snow, and her figure is like a fairy, and she is almost the goddess in the hearts of all young generation male disciples. Therefore, every time he receives the spirit stone, it has become the most anticipated thing for the male disciples. Yun Feng is fifteen years old this year, and he is in his youth, so he is naturally no exception. However, in addition to receiving spirit stones, he was looking forward to the most important things, as well as visiting the trading market.
Yunfeng brought his storage bag down the mountain. This storage bag is not big, but it contains all of Yunfeng's belongings in the past ten years. As a registered disciple of the Phantom Sword Sect, he can receive three lower-grade spirit stones every month, and Yun Feng has barely exchanged or purchased other cultivation resources, and has accumulated more than three hundred spirit stones in the past ten years, which is quite valuable among his peers.
Yunfeng doesn't like to socialize with people, so he goes early every time to avoid communicating with other people. When Yunfeng reached the Falling Moon Peak, there were only a few people. Today it happened that Shangguan Diewu and several other female disciples were handing out spirit stones. Because Yun Feng's strength was mediocre and he was in the middle of nowhere, Luo Jianfeng rarely walked around, and Shangguan Diewu didn't know him. Yun Feng secretly glanced at Shangguan Diewu, only to see that her expression was arrogant, her eyes were cold, and she looked at Yun Feng's gaze as if she were nothing. Yun Feng thought that there was a big gap between himself and him, and he didn't think about it. He crept forward with his head down, and said timidly: "Hello, Senior Sister Butterfly Dance, Yun Feng, a registered disciple of the Falling Sword Peak, came to receive the moon stiptoe, this is my identity token." As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the identity token. Shangguan Butterfly Dance Buddha was deep in thought, and did not answer, nor did he take his token.
At this time, another female disciple in red clothes beside her took the token, glanced at Yun Feng and the sword in his hand, and said contemptuously: "It turned out to be a person from the Sword Peak, and it seems that he is still a sword cultivator who is not capable of measuring himself. However, this sword is a good Taoist weapon, can the junior brother give this sword to the senior sister, although the price is offered. Yun Feng was shocked, shook the Fire Thunder Sword in his hand vigorously, and said timidly: "This senior sister, the junior Fire Thunder Sword was forged by the senior brother with great effort, Yun Feng is grateful in his heart, and he will never dare to trade it, and please forgive the senior sister." The female disciple was a little surprised when she heard this. She was originally a disciple of Luoyue Peak, and she was also born quite beautiful, and the male disciples were too late to stammer, so it could be said that they were responsive, but they didn't expect a little named disciple to be so bold that he dared to directly refuse her request.
A look of anger appeared on her face: "Don't be busy refusing first, I haven't offered the price yet, your one-year offering is 36 lower-grade spirit stones, and I will give you 50 lower-grade spirit stones, in exchange for your Bingjian, it can be regarded as cheaper for you poor boy." As he spoke, he took out the spirit stone from the storage bag, expecting that Yunfeng would definitely agree. But what she didn't expect was that although Yunfeng loved spirit stones, he was also a person who valued love and righteousness. The Fire Thunder Sword that Senior Brother had exhausted his efforts back then, used countless high-quality raw materials, and spent seven seven and forty-nine days to build the Fire Thunder Sword for him, not to mention that the value was far above that of ordinary Dao weapons, even if others used more spirit stones, he would never exchange them. Yun Feng said again: "Senior sister is slow, no matter how many spirit stones senior sister produces, she will not trade this Bing sword in the future, and please ask senior sister to distribute spirit stones, junior brother still has things to do." Shangguan Diewu was also stunned when he heard Yun Feng's words, and glanced at Yun Feng inadvertently, only to see that this young man was dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was slightly humble and cowardly, but he was also tough and assertive, so he didn't want to embarrass him, and said to the female disciple: "Ling'er, don't make trouble, presumably this sword has a special meaning to Senior Brother Yun, so don't make it difficult for you." ”
The woman named Ling'er seemed to listen to Shangguan Diewu's words very much, and gritted her teeth and said to Yunfeng: "Hillbilly, just guard your rotten sword." "Anyway, she threw the three spirit stones and the identity token towards Yunfeng together, and she used at least fifty percent of her dark energy for this throw. This woman's cultivation is a layer of Qi Cultivation Realm, a small realm higher than Yunfeng's rebirth realm, Yunfeng looked at the two things that were whistling and flying, and her heart was not good. hurriedly mobilized the spiritual power of his whole body to catch up, but he still staggered back more than ten steps before taking it. Immediately, he said to Butterfly Dance and Ling'er: "Thank you, two senior sisters, junior brother farewell." At the same time, he glanced at Butterfly Dance gratefully and turned to leave. Ling'er and Diewu were taken aback, thinking that he would be embarrassed or even injured, but they didn't expect him to just take a few steps back, and it seemed that his strength was far above the same level. Butterfly Dance glanced at Yun Feng meaningfully, and then returned to a cold expression. What they didn't know was that Yun Feng's right hand was paralyzed and in pain at this moment, and he couldn't move again for a short time, but he endured the severe pain and didn't show it.
Yun Feng did not rush back to his residence after receiving the spirit stone, and after relieving the pain in his right hand for a while, he went to the trading market. The trading market is open once a month, and the open day allows disciples of this sect to trade together with the casual cultivators near the Phantom Sword Sect, where you can buy many materials, pills, and weapons that low-level disciples need. The streets of Fangshi are lined with shops, and there are all kinds of stalls. Every time, Yun Feng would walk aimlessly around the market, and when he saw a shop, he would go in and have a look, so he knew the prices of all kinds of herbs and materials. In this way, he walked around for most of the day, visited all the shops, and was about to return to Sword Peak, when he suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding a stall at the end of the street. Curiosity struck, and he followed. Yunfeng is small, and it is easy to get into the crowd. Surrounded by everyone, it was actually Ling'er and Shangguan Diewu, two senior sisters and a stall owner who had just met in the morning, and many male disciples around them all looked at the two beauties with obsessive expressions. The stall owner of this stall is a red-faced man, and he should be a casual cultivator in his dress. Probably because he had never seen such a big scene, his face seemed to be even redder, and his voice was timid, and he said to the two: "Two fairies, my fine iron is pure in texture, it was obtained in a deep mountain and ancient cave, and it is the best material for forging Taoist weapons, which is extremely rare. If it weren't for the urgent need for herbs to heal the teacher, he would never be willing to trade it. Ling'er raised her eyebrows and said, "It's true that your fine iron is a good thing, but this material is only more useful for sword Dao weapons, and it is not so precious for other Dao weapons, so I gave you seventy spirit stones is already a lot, do you sell it or not?" When the male disciples around heard this, they all coaxed and said: "Boy, don't be too greedy, it is your blessing that Fairy Ling'er takes a fancy to your things, if it is me, even if I give it to Ling'er, I will not blink an eye." "That is, don't toast or eat and drink, otherwise this Phantom Sword Sect is not a place where you can come and leave as you want." The ridicule of the disciples made the red-faced man feel very embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said: In this fine iron year, there are more than three hundred years, the texture is pure, the amount is sufficient, seventy spirit stones are too little, if the Ling'er fairy usually speaks, it is not impossible to let the fairy, at the moment I urgently need spirit stones to buy herbs, it can be said that it is life-saving, non-hundred spirit stones are not sold, and please forgive the fairy. Hearing this, Yun Feng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, Senior Brother Liao Wushuang said that if this Fire Thunder Sword wants to be further upgraded, it must have more than a hundred years of refined iron, but Luo Jian Feng does not have this kind of material, one of the reasons why he comes to the trading market every month is to find this kind of refined iron, even if the texture is impure and the weight is only half of the fine iron in front of him, two hundred spirit stones are needed. This female cultivator named Ling'er obviously wanted to take advantage of this casual cultivator. Yun Feng decided in his heart that if he bought this piece of refined iron and refined it into the Fire Thunder Sword, he could upgrade the Fire Thunder Sword to a five-grade Dao weapon, so that even if he entered the Qi Cultivation Realm, it would be enough.
Thinking of this, Yun Feng no longer hesitated, interrupted Ling'er who was about to have a seizure, and said in a loud voice: "This fellow Daoist, can you sell this refined iron to my junior brother, I just have a hundred spirit stones here." With that, he casually took out a hundred spirit stones from the storage bag and threw them at the red-faced man. Yun Feng's words and actions were only a momentary matter, not only the big man, but even the crowd of onlookers did not react. Yun Feng usually rarely interacts with outsiders, and the others think that he is very unfamiliar, looking at his clothes, it is clear that he is a registered disciple of the Phantom Sword Sect, and a small registered disciple can sell a hundred spirit stones without hesitation? Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of which peak master? What is the background of this person? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all guessed. Shangguan Diewu looked at Yun Feng who suddenly appeared, and was relieved: I once thought that Yun Feng was just a small registered disciple of a declining branch, but I didn't expect to be so generous, no wonder I refused to trade with Ling'er in the morning, it turned out that I didn't care about this spirit stone. She couldn't help but look at Yun Feng with strange eyes again. At this time, Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, and shouted: "Tubaozi, hillbilly, did you say that your spirit stones were stolen or robbed? It must be unusual for a small registered disciple to have so many spirit stones, not to mention that this fine iron is the first thing I took a fancy to, where is your turn, don't get out of the way quickly!"
Before he could speak, the red-faced man who had already come back to his senses hurriedly said: "This little friend, just now I have famously said that the minimum transaction price of this refined iron is one hundred spirit stones, since Daoyou intends to trade, let it be with you." After that, he directly sent the fine iron to Yun Feng, who couldn't wait to take the fine iron, and after carefully examining it, he quickly put it into the storage bag. It was only at this time that many male disciples around reacted, and they all pointed at Yunfeng and shouted: "Where did the kid dare to snatch Ling'er Fairy's things, don't hand them over quickly." "That is, things that don't have long eyes, be careful in the Phantom Sword Sect in the future, don't be touched by me alone." All kinds of ridicule and threats were endless, Yun Feng looked at Ling'er, who was pale, and Shangguan Diewu, who was still cold and didn't know what he was thinking, and then looked at the red-faced man, and said to the three of them: "Senior Sister Xie Ling'er is polite, Brother Xie Dao cuts love." Junior farewell!" turned and left. This is the trading market, there are high-level beings patrolling and monitoring, and it is absolutely forbidden to fight, so Ling'er and the others have no way to take him, and they can only stare at Yunfeng fiercely. If it is said that eyes can kill, Yun Feng has been killed thousands of times at this time. He smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he will have to be more careful when walking in the Phantom Sword Sect in the future. Although he has had little contact with others over the years, he has still been ridiculed and bullied a lot, so now Yun Feng is accustomed to this, he knows that in the cultivation world, everything speaks with strength, and only by constantly enhancing his own strength can he not be controlled by others. He thought that he had only used a hundred spirit stones to buy such a year of refined iron, and he also had to thank that Senior Sister Ling'er.
Yun Feng happily returned to Sunset Peak with refined iron and asked Senior Brother how to forge the Fire Thunder Sword with refined iron. The senior brother repeatedly praised the little junior brother for his courage and good luck, and finding such a fine iron of the best material would be of great benefit to the advancement of the Fire Thunder Sword. He patiently instructed Yun Feng on the forging method, after all, Yun Feng was a disciple of Luojian Peak, and he had learned a lot of refining techniques since he was a child, so he also learned very quickly. It's strange to say, Yun Feng has failed miserably in the past several times to impact the eighth layer of the Rebirth Realm, but since that day when Senior Brother Liao Wushuang passed on his forging method, Yun Feng forged the Fire Thunder Sword while cultivating, and actually broke through to the eighth layer of the Rebirth Realm in one fell swoop, and since then, his cultivation has also progressed, and the Phantom Sword Technique also broke through the first layer in one fell swoop three months later, and began to cultivate the second layer of the Sword Transformation Technique.
Originally, there were seven layers of this Phantom Sword Technique, of which the first layer of the Sword Technique was about the Sword Technique, which could be used to control the Sword in the Air, and the second layer of the Sword Technique was about how to take the Dao Sword into the body and use its own spiritual power to refine the Dao Sword to greatly upgrade its power. The second-layer sword technique is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and he can only cultivate the lower level at present, barely putting the Fire Thunder Sword into his body, and he can't use his own spiritual power to forge it. Even this gave Yun Feng a glimmer of the dawn of the cultivation avenue, after all, this was his most beloved weapon, and he would never have to worry about being forced to trade in the future.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, Yun Feng has already integrated all the refined iron into the Fire Thunder Sword, and the Fire Thunder Sword has officially entered the ranks of the four rank Dao weapons, and his cultivation has also broken through the ninth layer of the rebirth realm and reached the peak of the tenth layer. Senior Brother was very surprised at the rapid progress of his cultivation, it seemed that Yun Feng was quite talented in forging weapons, and it was even more helpful to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. At this time, there is still a year and a half before the sect's big exam, and Yun Feng must break through to the Qi cultivation period during this period, and the Illusion Sword Technique can only be cultivated to the second level before it is possible to pass the trial and become a disciple, but since Yun Feng entered the tenth layer of the rebirth realm, he has once again fallen into a cultivation bottleneck, and he has not been able to break through to the Qi refining period for a long time.
