Chapter 222: Challenge

Xiao Wen nodded: "That's exactly what I mean." For Xiao Wen, there is no other benefit in going with Shi Xuan. The only purpose is to deepen his friendship with Shi Xuan. For a cultivator, having one more friend may help him when he encounters difficulties in the future. For example, if Shi Xuan achieves the Yuanshen, and Xiao Wen has a good relationship with him, it will not be difficult to ask him to protect his reincarnation. Of course, the premise is that he has the reincarnation secret treasure, which can prevent him from being confused by the mystery in the womb.

"By the way, I wonder how fellow Daoist Xu Yu is doing recently?" After all, Shi Xuan and Xu Yu also have the experience of fighting side by side. Since he met Xiao Wen, it is only natural to ask by the way. In addition, Shi Xuan heard from Master Jiang that a few years ago, the remaining Yuanshen Master of Yaowang Sect successfully passed the 19th disaster and became Yangshen Master, and the crisis of Yaowang Sect was also stopped.

Xiao Wen chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Xu is still lingering on the state of spiritual perfection. Thank you, Daoist Fellow Shi, for your concern."

After that, the three chatted for a few words and began to exchange their cultivation experiences. When it came to this, Feng Anbai showed an eager expression, as if she wanted to have a fight with Shi Xuan immediately.

Seeing this, Xiao Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly with a hint of pampering: "Fellow Daoist Shi, please give me some advice, otherwise we can't communicate with peace of mind."

Shi Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Then please make a move, Daoist Fellow Feng."

"Here?" This quiet room is not big, which is usually called a small room, so Feng Anbai asked with some surprise. She thought they would go to the performance room or the yard.

Shi Xuan nodded with a smile: "It's here."

Feng Anbai looked at this small quiet room and knew that it required a high level of subtle control of the flying sword. She understood Shi Xuan's intention, so her expression became more excited: "Please teach me, fellow Daoist Shi." After she finished speaking, she could not get up, and a lush green sword light rose from her dantian, crossing a short distance and stabbing towards Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan knew that her life weapon was only five or six layers at most, so she did not use the Thunder Demon Subduing Sword and the Thunder Ze Divine Sword, but used one of the Yimu Qinglong Swords. The sword light, which was also lush, but a little more domineering, intersected with Feng Anbai's sword light from the side and blocked it.

The two lush green sword lights were like two small green snakes, entwined and fighting fiercely in a small space, rolling and rolling, coming and going, reflecting the green light of a small room, which was particularly beautiful.

Feng Anbai's swordsmanship is good, especially when combined with the wood-type true qi of the Medicine King Sect, the sword light is endless, like weaving a small green net, but there are pros and cons, and the sword light is a little lacking in sharpness. Shi Xuan's swordsmanship changed, Beidou pointed the way, and Yi Mu Qinglong Sword kept attacking the flaws in Feng Anbai's swordsmanship, gradually suppressing her sword light.

Feng Anbai saw that the green sword light transformed by Yi Mu Qinglong Sword seemed to know how his sword light would change, and always appeared where it should appear, making him exhausted and only able to parry. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were emitting excitement.

Shi Xuan did not even use one tenth of his strength. He was just practicing sword skills and instructing Feng Anbai. Seeing that her sword light began to scatter, he knew that she had reached her limit, so he changed his sword skills again. A killing intent that pierced the soul came from the green sword light, which made Feng Anbai stunned for a moment, and then the Yimu Qinglong Sword passed through her sword light, circled around her throat and flew back.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Shi. You are indeed the best swordsman below the Jindan level." Feng Anbai did not show any frustration, only admiration and happiness.

Shi Xuan casually pointed out: "Feng Daoist, you are good at maintaining the status quo but not at making progress. Although it is because of the skills, if the flying sword is less sharp, it would be better to change to another magic weapon."

Feng Anbai nodded thoughtfully, and Xiao Wen also thanked him on behalf of his wife and exchanged cultivation experience with Shi Xuan.

When the two were leaving, Feng Anbai suddenly smiled and said, "Today, Anbai has achieved what he wanted, but I have a small request at the end. Can you please show me the sword energy thunder sound, please?"

Shi Xuan pointed his finger, and the green sword light appeared on Feng Anbai's forehead at an incredible speed. Feng Anbai didn't even have time to blink before he felt the sharp edge of the flying sword, and only heard the thunderous sound later.

"It's so fast, I can't react at all." Feng Anbai muttered to himself, seeming a little dazed.

Xiao Wen smiled apologetically at Shi Xuan: "My wife is often like this, don't be surprised, fellow Daoist Shi, we're leaving." As he spoke, he dragged Feng Anbai, who was still immersed in the world of swordsmanship, out.

…………

At night, after Shi Xuan met with An Wang who had returned, he returned to the small courtyard arranged by the Foreign Affairs Hall and thought about the auction a few days later.

I have seven high-grade spirit stones and 121 medium-grade spirit stones, which are enough for top-grade materials, but not enough for rare treasures like Phoenix Blood and Formless Divine Iron. For example, one ounce of Formless Divine Iron is fifty high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to half a pill of Nine-Turn Nine-Return Jade Liquid Divine Pill.

However, Shi Xuan has a lot of valuable materials that he can't use, such as the secret treasure Blood Flame Divine Needle, the precious material Lihuo Jinjing, the top-grade material Wanzai Hantie, the rare treasure Xiran, Yinyang Yugui, and the Blood Demon Sect's secret elixir Blood Flesh Regeneration Pill. These items combined should be enough to auction off two rare treasures, as long as no one maliciously raises the price, and if the owner of Phoenix Blood and Formless Divine Iron practices earth-based exercises, he can save a lot.

Top-grade materials and natural treasures are not only used in refining magic tools. Some special skills need these items to cooperate. For example, Guanghan Sect's "Ice Soul Divine Art" requires the Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Heart, Shi Xuan's several external objects magical powers, etc., and even some skills need these items to cooperate when breaking through the pass. Therefore, Xiran is an irresistible temptation for cultivators of earth-based skills. Because of this, Shi Xuan does not intend to convert the materials and secret treasures on his body into spirit stones first, which may have miraculous effects at that time.

………

The next morning, Shi Xuan had just finished his morning class when he felt Fei Fengzhuo walking towards his yard, and because he was afraid of disturbing him, he only dared to wander outside the yard.

"Nephew Fei, please come in and tell me if you have anything to say." A faint voice came to Fei Fengzhuo's ears. He did not find it strange. The consciousness of a cultivator in the Soul Stage covers more than a hundred miles. Even if there is a formation suppression here, it is not difficult for a great master like Uncle Shi who has perfected the Soul to find himself outside the yard.

Fei Fengzhuo gently pushed open the gate and saw Master Shi, dressed in green, standing in the yard, looking at him calmly. He quickly lowered his head and said, "I disturbed Master Shi so early because many cultivators came to the door. Some wanted to exchange ideas with Master Shi, and some simply said they were here to challenge him. Although they did not dare to offend the pressure of our sect and come in directly, they still stood on the street and shouted. I think this will damage your reputation, so I came to report it."

Yesterday, Xiao Wen pointed out his identity in public, and Shi Xuan expected that there would be such a situation today, but he did not expect it to come so soon. However, thinking about the recent auction, many masters gathered in Tianji City, so it is understandable that it happened so soon.

This kind of thing has been encountered by all famous cultivators before, and there are different ways to deal with it, so Shi Xuan has already made up his mind. Anyway, there are rumors everywhere that he is arrogant, and he does not care about the evaluation of being ruthless. Getting rid of these annoying guys is the first thing.

It cannot be denied that these cultivators are definitely genuine, otherwise it would be embarrassing to challenge him. Only a minority of the minority have the strength to spar with him or challenge him. Most of them use this method to challenge famous cultivators to make a name for themselves. That will bring many benefits, such as entering the loose cultivator alliance or asking for more benefits when being recruited by a medium-sized sect; when going out on adventures, they can have more say in the team compared to cultivators of the same level, etc. Of course, there are also some who simply like to be famous.

These cultivators do not expect to defeat Shi Xuan, as long as they can hold on for a while longer in Shi Xuan's hands, that's enough. "Take on ten swords from the first sword master below the Jindan level", it's very face-saving to say it out, and the price to pay is not high. In most cases, it's just a simple failure.

Fei Fengzhuo led the way in front, and Shi Xuan followed him slowly towards the gate. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw dozens of cultivators in different clothes at the door. Most of them were in the Soul Stage, and only a few were in the Qi Induction Stage. Behind and beside them, there were hundreds or even more ordinary people or cultivators who were watching the fun, blocking half of the wide street.

"I have long heard of Brother Huo's name. I didn't expect you to challenge Shi Xuan, the 'Shadowless Sword'."

"There is no way. He is too arrogant. I used a formal letter to request a challenge, but he ignored me and said he was in seclusion. Haha, how could he be in seclusion for such a long time? This time, I heard that he was coming, so I rushed over. I will use my Dragon Swimming Sword to test whether he is worthy of his reputation."

"Yes, we kindly invited Shi Xuan to participate in the gathering of several sword masters, but he ignored us. He is really arrogant and looks down on us who can't even practice the sword energy and thunder sound. Alas."

...

The mixed sounds of small talk, discussion, complaints, and shouting made the outside of the door look like a huge temple fair, noisy and noisy. However, as Shi Xuan slowly came out and stood calmly on the steps, all the sounds disappeared at once. The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Even if Shi Xuan is arrogant and high-minded in the rumors, he is a great master of the Soul Stage who can subdue all monsters with one sword, and a master of swordsmanship who has mastered the sword energy and thunder sound. These people can't help but be in awe of him. As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow.

"I don't know which Taoist wants to challenge Shi, you can do it now." Shi Xuan looked down and said lightly. Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is necessary. Of course, Shi Xuan will not kill people indiscriminately. Severe injuries should be able to deter subsequent cultivators.

Sorry, I have to go on a business trip on Monday and Tuesday, so I have to save some manuscripts on the weekend, otherwise I will have to stop updating for those two days. And starting from next week until mid-May, there will be more business trips. The only good news is that most of these business trips are to surrounding counties and cities, that is, go in the morning and come back before dinner, so there should be no interruption. Shame on you.

Finally, the new book month is coming to an end soon. Even though I haven't exploded much, there are still so many friends who vote for the monthly ticket, reward, and subscribe. Thank you so much.
