Chapter 724 Face
Huang Xie also didn't expect that one day he would be noticed by his master. Previously, Huang Xie was a marginal figure in the Huang family, and no one would ask him about it on weekdays. There are no strong people in his lineage. The strongest uncle is only in the early stage of foundation building, and he is still separated from him by two levels. He is the kind of relative who can't even be called by name.
Huang Xie has long been used to it.
The Huang family is so big that there are at least two thousand blood relatives of this generation. With so many people, it’s impossible to take care of everyone.
On weekdays, Huang Xie works outside in the name of a disciple of the Huang family. The resources he needs for daily practice are all earned by his own tasks. Even the cultivation techniques are obtained by himself on the black market. Until a few days ago, someone from the master's house suddenly found him, saying that he had offended someone, and asked him to come back to apologize and admit his mistake.
After that, he was brought back in a daze, not knowing what happened the whole time.
"Junior Huang Xie, my ignorance offended my senior, please forgive me."
Huang Xie knelt on the ground and apologized sincerely.
Even though he didn't know what mistake he made. These are family immortal cultivators. They take advantage of their family's influence and also listen to their family's words. If he had another identity, even if he was a casual cultivator, Huang Xie would not be able to kneel and kowtow here. At most, he would bend down and hold his hands in hand to show respect.
"There's no need to do this for some small things." Chen Luo waved his hand. To him, Huang Xie was a nobody.
The same goes for the head of the Huang family.
Huang Xie's so-called apology was just a pretext.
Many people think that they will become enemies if they offend someone, but this is not the case.
Sometimes, apology is also a way to build relationships. As long as you use it well, enemies can become friends.
"I still haven't thanked you, Brother Chen."
Huang Cheng immediately changed his title, and the smile on his face became much brighter.
"Thank you, senior."
After Huang Xie kowtowed, he retreated very wisely.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time meeting Brother Chen. I don't know where you practiced before. I think I have some knowledge of the Qingyan City area. Maybe you and I had some connections a long time ago."
After two glasses of wine, Huang Cheng began to test Chen Luo.
The purpose of inviting Chen Luo over this time was to use him to find out about the origins of the deputy city lord, Zhenjun Ziji.
This True Lord Nascent Soul suddenly appeared and changed the pattern of Qingyan City.
Especially since Zi Tianji completed the blood contract not long ago and is destined to be integrated into Qingyan City, then some people's interests will inevitably be divided. As a local snake, the Huang family is naturally the best informed about this kind of information. Asking Huang Xie to come over and apologize was just an excuse he made at random. As long as he wanted to, he could easily find seventeen or eight such excuses. The key was whether Chen Luo would give him face.
"People from the mountains and wilds have been practicing in the secret realm before. Not long ago, the secret realm was broken, and I escaped."
The secret realm is the most common special area in the entire world of immortality.
Relics will form secret realms, ancient formations will form secret realms, and magical spiritual materials from heaven and earth will also form secret realms. For cultivators, the secret realm is the place where they deal most often. Chen Luo's excuse can be said to be impeccable. Even if Huang Cheng wanted to find a loophole, he would not be able to do so.
"I see."
Huang Cheng nodded with a smile on his face, and then said as if with emotion.
"No wonder I haven't seen Taoist friends before. Opportunities like ruins are still too rare for ordinary people. I have practiced in Qingyan City for most of my life, and I have never entered the ruins until now. No wonder Ziji Zhenjun will treat Taoist friends Being a disciple, you are worthy of this opportunity.”
Chen Luo smiled and did not respond to Huang Cheng's words.
The old man talked in a roundabout way for a long time, and finally got involved with Zi Tianji. Zi Tianji chose to integrate into Qingyan City, which aroused the vigilance of many people.
Huang Cheng tried it several times after that.
Most of the topics revolved around Zi Tianji, but Chen Luo didn't answer the question at all. After testing him several times, Huang Cheng understood what Chen Luo meant and stopped testing him again.
The topic of their chat slowly shifted from Zi Tianji to cultivation.
After a conversation, Huang Cheng's perception of Chen Luo changed greatly. He originally thought that he was just a lucky guy who was lucky enough to hold him in his lap. Now it seems that this person does have his own merits. It's no wonder that he can become the Yuanying Elder. Strange discernment.
"This sword control technique is different from all the sword techniques I have come across. It is such a precious technique."
Huang Cheng was shocked when he saw the Foundation-Building Sword Technique that Chen Luo threw casually.
This was a sword cultivation technique that he had never experienced before. Although there is only the Foundation Establishment Realm, the ideas inside it are completely different from the techniques mastered by the Huang family. That this person can come up with such precious secrets to communicate shows his true nature.
This person is a staunch practitioner and has no sectarian views in his heart.
"The greatest value of Kung Fu is communication. How can you become an immortal by working behind closed doors?" Chen Luo said seriously.
This skill was found in a book he randomly found in the corner of his storage bag, and the words were all engraved on it temporarily.
Chen Zhenren treats people sincerely, and he really can't come up with lower-level techniques.
"Although our Huang family is not a sword cultivating family, we still have a lot of sword cultivating secrets." Huang Cheng weighed a little and decided to exchange some unimportant secrets in the family, at least not to lose to the opponent in terms of momentum.
After a while, someone brought a secret book of swordsmanship from outside.
Chen Luo glanced at it twice and threw it aside.
The level is too low and has no reference value.
Huang Cheng actually fooled him with the secret book of swordsmanship in the Qi Refining Realm.
Seeing Chen Luo's attitude, Huang Cheng blushed.
It does not make sense to replace the foundation-building technique with the qi-refining technique. Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.
"Speaking of which, our Huang family also has a genius. He happens to be proficient in swordsmanship. Maybe he can communicate with Brother Chen."
"oh?"
Chen Luo had a smile on his face and finally caught a fish.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can." Huang Cheng stood up, cupped his hands, and then hurriedly left.
Chen Luo sat in the courtyard and continued to enjoy spiritual fruits and wine.
Huang Cheng's speed was very fast, and he was gone and back in just a moment. There was also a young man who came with him. This man was another pill-forming monk that Chen Luo sensed with his spiritual consciousness.
"Where did you get that sword manual?"
Huang Tian asked straight to the point. He came back this time just for the sect competition. The internal battles within the Ancient Sword Sect are much more intense than those outside. If he wants to obtain more resources, he must compete for ranking. Only by improving his ranking can he have the opportunity to become a direct successor and obtain the core inheritance of the sect.
"Make a price."
"All I got were scraps."
Chen Luo shook his head and refused.
"Only the fragments?"
Huang Tian's face was full of displeasure, thinking that Chen Luo was telling lies and refused to give out the good things.
"Two thousand spirit stones."
“Really not”
"Three thousand!"
"."
"Five thousand! This is already the price of the later stage skills."
Huang Tian frowned and looked at Chen Luo, thinking that this person was a little too greedy. Could it be that he thought that with a Nascent Soul cultivator behind him, he could be lawless?
After all, he is just a casual cultivator, and his vision is too narrow.
"Forget it, I'll try it myself."
Huang Tian stretched out one hand, and a third-level magic weapon flew out from his sleeve. As soon as the sword appeared, a large amount of sword energy was immediately rolled up. Huang Cheng looked anxious and subconsciously wanted to stop him.
This was completely inconsistent with his purpose. His original plan was to use Huang Tian's identity to build a relationship with Chen Luo, but he didn't expect Huang Tian to be so disrespectful and completely disregard the interests of the family.
"Second uncle, you go down first."
Huang Tian's sword shook, and a wisp of sword energy knocked Huang Cheng away.
As an inner disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, Huang Tian's swordsmanship is naturally far superior to that of Huang Cheng.
"you!!"
Looking at the clothes that were cut open on the chest, Huang Cheng wanted to curse in anger, but after seeing the indifferent Chen Luo on the other side, he suppressed it wisely.
Neither of the parties involved was in a hurry, why should he, an outsider, be so anxious.
"Aren't you going to draw your sword?"
Huang Tian waited for a moment and couldn't help but frown when he saw that Chen Luo was still sitting where he was.
He didn't expect this person to be so arrogant.
"Isn't this a sword?"
Chen Luo picked up a chopstick from the table and gestured twice. His casual attitude made Huang Tian furious. As a genius with a psychic sword body, he was admitted into the inner sect of the Ancient Sword Sect at birth. When had he been looked down upon like this?
"Arrogant!"
Huang Tian was originally prepared to save some dignity for the other party, but now he felt it was unnecessary. Such crazy cultivators must take heavy action to make them surrender.
The sword energy blooms.
A green sword shadow emerged from Huang Tian's body, and he flew into the air. The spiritual energy in his body surged into the spiritual sword in his hand, and the spiritual energy in the courtyard also surged, converging into a vortex and focusing on the sword's blade.
But before the sword energy could be successfully condensed, he felt his head go numb, as if a hand had hit the back of his head.
Bang!
The whole person fell from the air like a stone. He fell down just as he flew up. His consciousness went dark and he fainted instantly. The powerful magic sword that he had previously grasped in his hand was pushed aside by Chen Luo's chopsticks, and was trembling as it was stuck on the big stone.
Huang Cheng, who was standing on the edge, had not recovered before the battle was over.
Looking at Chen Luo, who was still sitting in the courtyard drinking, and then at Huang Tian, who was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Huang Cheng subconsciously thought about it.
This guy is not a pill-former!
Although Huang Cheng is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still has basic judgments. Killing Huang Tian with a transparent sword body in one move was a method he had only seen on True Lord Nascent Soul.
"Not really."
Chen Luo moved his hand away from Huang Tian's head. He had just used the soul search technique to look through Huang Tian's memories, but there was no way to return to the Ancient Sword Sect. This made him a little strange. With the soul-searching technique he now mastered, it was absolutely impossible for anything to be missed. (End of chapter)
