Chapter 456 Shadowmoon Valley

Su Chen's "Ninefold Sword Yuan" has been cultivated to perfection in the first layer, and now he is ready to start practicing the second layer.

He recalled the formula of the second layer in his heart. The essence of this second layer lies in two words, "Yin Yang".

If one can comprehend the ultimate principle of Yin Yang and reach the realm of "Yin Yang Wuji", this second layer can be considered a successful practice.

Coincidentally, the "Withered and Flourishing Fist" that Su Chen once taught Jiang Tingyi to practice is about the ultimate principle of Yin Yang. Therefore, Su Chen has also done some research on this ultimate principle of Yin Yang.

Not to mention, Su Chen's ice and fire true essence sea actually coincides with the ultimate principle of Yin Yang.

Therefore, Su Chen believes that he should not encounter any difficulties in practicing the second layer of this "Ninefold Sword Yuan".

Closing his eyes, Su Chen immersed himself in the world of swordsmanship.

Time flies, and fifteen days passed in a flash.

When Su Chen opened his eyes again, his eyes were already shining with lightning and his power was faint.

If you look closely, you can even vaguely see two groups of yin-yang Tai Chi fish patterns rotating in Su Chen's eyes.

The second level of the ninth level of Jian Yuan, perfect!

"Now the power of my sword moves has doubled again."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, and took advantage of this momentum to strike while the iron is hot to start condensing the third sword energy.

Three sword energies can be called the king who has reached the pinnacle in the field of swordsmanship. In the entire Yunyuan Empire, there are not many people who can condense three sword energies.

Not to mention the young generation who can condense three sword energies, which is even rarer.

At this moment, Su Chen has just comprehended the second level of the ninth level of Jian Yuan, and the true meaning of swordsmanship in his body is at its most active.

Taking advantage of this momentum, he immediately sank his mind and immersed himself in the condensation of the third sword energy...

...

Ten days later.

The carriage swayed and finally approached the headquarters of Tiandan Palace.

The entire Yunyuan Empire is vast. Even if you take a carriage pulled by the fastest demon horse, it will take at least sixty days to cross the territory of the Yunyuan Empire.

In this vast territory, there are six counties and an imperial capital.

In addition to the territories of the six counties and the imperial capital, there are also large areas of unowned territories, most of which are desolate and uninhabited, and only a few territories are occupied by some major forces.

The headquarters of the Tiandan Palace is located in the northwest of the Yunyuan Empire, occupying such a large uninhabited land. After hundreds of years of operation, it has developed into a prosperous area.

In this area, there are rows of villages, towns and farmlands, guarding the headquarters of the Tiandan Palace in the middle.

As for the people living in those villages and towns, they were originally some displaced farmers, but after hundreds of years of rooting from generation to generation, they have become the people under the jurisdiction of the Tiandan Palace headquarters.

This large area under the jurisdiction of the Tiandan Palace is collectively called "Shadow Moon Valley" because it is located in a huge valley.

In Shadow Moon Valley, the biggest one is Tian Dan Hall, and Tian Dan Hall has the final say on all matters.

Because Tian Dan Hall is in Shadow Moon Valley, it has greatly promoted the development of Shadow Moon Valley's trade. Every day, a large number of caravans transport a large amount of alchemy materials, cultivation materials and other daily necessities from other places to Shadow Moon Valley for sale. At the same time, they also transport Shadow Moon Valley's specialties and elixirs produced by Tian Dan Hall from Shadow Moon Valley to other places.

Because there are many caravans coming and going, and there are no big cities in Shadow Moon Valley, there are many bandits wandering here, making a fortune by robbing caravans.

Where there are bandits, there will be mercenaries. There are also many mercenaries in Shadow Moon Valley, and many warriors make a living as mercenaries here.

As soon as Su Chen and his team entered Shadow Moon Valley, they changed a carriage. The carriage and the driver belonged to a mercenary group called "Red Snake".

This Red Snake Mercenary Group seems to be quite famous in Shadow Moon Valley. It is a large mercenary group. Generally, no bandits dare to rob the carriage of the Red Snake Mercenary Group.

Crash!

The carriage curtain was opened, and Su Chen came out of the carriage refreshed, sat on the shaft in front of the carriage, and looked at the scenery as the carriage swayed.

In his previous life, he had never been to this place. Although he lived in the Yunyuan Empire before the age of 30 in his previous life, he had not been to many places. His main activity area in his previous life was still the Danyu.

In this life, his mentality is completely different. He wants to see the most beautiful scenery and live the most wonderful life. He also wants to fight all the strong men in the world and step on all the geniuses in the world.

As the carriage continued to move forward, Su Chen's vision gradually saw large tracts of farmland on both sides of the road, but surprisingly, these farmlands were not ordinary farmlands, but medicinal fields full of herbs.

The herbs swayed in the breeze and looked very good.

"So many herbs are planted here, and no one steals them?" Su Chen asked curiously. He had never seen such a scene in Danyu. The herbs in Danyu were planted in the medicine gardens protected by formations. Anyone who dared to trespass would be immediately struck into ashes by the thunder in the formations.

This kind of herbs was planted directly in the farmland on the roadside. This was the first time he had seen it.

The driver heard Su Chen's words and continued, "No one will steal. These medicinal fields belong to Tiandan Palace. The herbs are planted by nearby farmers commissioned by Tiandan Palace. If anyone dares to steal, he will be wanted by Tiandan Palace. The bandits dare not do it either, because bandits also need elixirs to practice. If Tiandan Palace does not sell them elixirs, they will be penniless."

Su Chen couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this. Tiandan Palace, as a force full of alchemists, does have the capital to control everything. Because all warriors need elixirs, alchemists naturally have extraordinary power. It's no wonder that all alchemists are so arrogant.

The carriage drove forward for a while, and suddenly there was a noise in front of the wind.

"The purchase price of herbs is too low, really too low, how can we survive like this."

"Yes, Mr. Liang, the recent purchase price of herbs is really too low. If this continues, we herbal farmers will have no food to eat."

"Mr. Liang, please have mercy and purchase at last year's price?"

"We want to see Deacon Ma. We must see Deacon Ma today. The purchase price of herbs changes every year, and it is lower every year. Are you really going to let us starve?"

Excited shouting came into Su Chen's ears. Su Chen didn't want to listen, but he had no choice but to practice the ears of the wind. The sound was particularly clear in his ears, forcing him to open his eyes and look in the direction of the shouting.

I saw a group of people dressed as farmers in front of me surrounded a few people. The shouting was obviously coming from their direction.
