Chapter 262 Opportunity?

Grandpa An pondered for a moment and said, "My dear niece, have you taken Senior Xie, the third owner of Shenjian Villa, as your master?" He took root, practiced, and branched out in the Western Wilds. He was very concerned about the situation of the sects and the loose cultivator alliance in the Western Wilds. However, he had not made a deep understanding of the eight major sects except for some widely circulated or well-known news. After all, it was not the eight major sects that were related to their daily lives.

Regarding this point, the other cultivators present were the same. In addition, Shi Xuan's true face only came to the Western Wilds once. Even if it caused a lot of noise, most cultivators only heard of him but did not know him. You should know that the jade slips with Shi Xuan's image are very expensive, and those low-level cultivators who are still working hard to make a living cannot afford it. Therefore, Shi Xuan did not hide his face, and they all did not recognize him, even though many of the topics they usually talked about were about Shi Xuan.

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang was immediately excited when he heard the question from Mr. An: "That's true. Originally, the Third Manor Master saw that Ruotong had good aptitude and was willing to work hard, so he accepted her as a registered disciple. Who knew that my daughter had quietly broken through to the Qi Induction Stage, and the Third Manor Master was so happy that he accepted her as his real disciple." Xie Xiaoan, the Third Manor Master of Shenjian Villa, is a well-known sword cultivator and the most promising person to achieve the next Golden Core in Shenjian Villa.

"To be favored by Senior Xie, my niece is first-class in terms of talent, hard work, and blessings, which makes an old man like me jealous." Mr. An laughed and flattered him in a subtle way. However, An Qingshu beside him really had a fluctuating expression and felt quite inferior.

The other cultivators who heard this, especially those out-of-body cultivators at the fire on Shixuan's side, showed envy on their faces, stopped talking, and focused on the conversation over there.

Wang Ruotong replied in a sweet voice: "This is all thanks to the master's favor. Uncle An is too kind."

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang began to boast about the strength of Shenjian Villa with a smile on his face. The two Jindan masters Xia Anren and Li Huaiyuan are not to be mentioned. The owner of the villa, Xie Xiaoan, is also extraordinary: "The third owner has already practiced the sword energy thunder sound a few years ago. In the spirit soul period, there are few opponents. He is one of the few sword masters below the Jindan level."

"We cultivators can only imagine the prestige of the predecessors in the spirit soul period." Grandpa An followed and echoed, but with a slight sigh.

Before he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from the sand road. The other party seemed to have never thought about concealing the footsteps. Grandpa An and the middle-aged man surnamed Wang looked at each other with ugly faces, which surprised An Qingshu: "Father, Uncle Wang, why do you look like this?" Other cultivators turned their heads and saw the faces of the two, and they were all surprised and puzzled.

Old Master An said word by word: "The wind has already started. Even if it is not at its strongest, the cultivators who can still come in this situation can only be seniors of the Soul Stage or Grandmasters of the Golden Core." As soon as these words came out, the faces of the cultivators in the caravan also turned bad. In this situation, if they encounter a Soul Stage master, it would be fine if the other party is kind, but if they encounter those cruel people, there is really no way to hide or escape. They can only hope that the other party will not look down on the goods transported by low-level cultivators like themselves.

"Haha, An Xiuchuan, you have good knowledge." With the laughter, three cultivators with very similar looks came in. They were all in their thirties, with horse faces and drooping eyebrows, wearing green, blue, and purple Taoist robes, which were quite bright. If Shi Xuan remembered correctly, there was only one pair of Soul Stage triplets in the cultivation world, Ma Hai, Ma Chuan, and Ma He.

Old Master An quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Junior greets the three Ma seniors."

The man in the green Taoist robe waved his hand and said, "An Xiuchuan, take your men to the other two fires quickly, don't get in the way in front of me."

An Xiuchuan was as if he had been pardoned. He took his son An Qingshu and others and walked towards the fire where Shi Xuan and the others were. The three brothers of the Ma family were not kind people. It seemed that they looked down on their little money today.

"Everyone, please be careful." An Xiuchuan said this mainly to Shi Xuan, because the others were either his guests or his men, and they saw the scene and didn't need to remind him. But this young man of unknown origin still needed to be polite. If there was a dispute, although he could kill him with a slap, the noise would also annoy the three Ma seniors, and that would be a big trouble.

Shi Xuan moved his position without comment. He had no curiosity about the purpose of the three Ma brothers and Shenjian Villa going to Jixi Town. It was nothing more than a certain abandoned mansion. Jixi Town had nothing else except this. These were all dispensable to him.

Seeing Shi Xuan move, half of the An family caravan split up and went to another fire. The remaining five or six people stayed here, the An family father and son, the Wang family father and daughter, and the two managers. Because this place was closest to the exit, if there was any disturbance, it would be better to rush into the strong wind and die without a complete body than to be tortured slowly. And if she was very lucky, she might be able to save her life in the strong wind.

There was only one woman here, Wang Ruotong, and they were very close to each other at this time, which made her stand there quite hesitantly. She ignored An Qingshu's suggestion that she sit next to her and walked to sit cross-legged behind her father. Anyway, for her, using pure white true qi to protect her body, the fire itself became redundant.

Just as the three Ma brothers sat down, several more cultivators came into the sand cave. The leader was a middle-aged cultivator wearing a turban, followed by two men and two women. Except for the middle-aged cultivator who was in the Soul Stage, the other four were in the Qi Induction Stage.

"Old Fu, is that you?" Ma Hai, the eldest of the Ma family, said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged cultivator smiled and looked around. Shi Xuan found that he was roughly scanning everyone with his spiritual sense. However, although he had not found the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core in these years, his true energy and soul had long been restrained, so it was impossible for such a rough scan to discover his cultivation level.

As expected, the middle-aged cultivator did not find anything unusual, nor did he look closely at the appearance of those low-level cultivators. He smiled and sat opposite Ma Hai and the other two: "So you are the Ma brothers, Fu Sheng is rude." He said and laughed casually, saying that he was rude, but his attitude did not show any apology, as if he did not take the three Ma brothers seriously at all.

Ma Hai said in a muffled voice: "Old Fu, are you going to Jixi Town too?"

"You guys are going, but I can't go?" Fu Sheng laughed. His four Qi-inducing disciples didn't introduce them to the three brothers of the Ma family at all.

After An Xiuchuan heard the conversation between the two, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he whispered: "Fu Sheng? This is a great master." As for whether Fu Sheng could hear him after lowering his voice, he didn't care, anyway, he didn't say bad things.

"Is it the Fu Sheng who is recognized as the top ten hope of achieving the upper-grade golden elixir?" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang asked back in surprise.

With the Tianji List as a precedent, those well-informed people in the cultivation world have followed the Tianji List to establish a ranking list of the soul-level cultivators with the greatest hope of advancing to the upper-grade golden elixir. The recognized meaning is that they can enter the top ten in those lists that are often very different. Of course, everyone recognizes that Shi Xuan of the Penglai School is definitely the next upper-grade golden elixir. After all, he is the only one since the Middle Ages who can practice sword light differentiation in the golden elixir stage.

"That's right." An Xiuchuan nodded, so the cultivators here secretly looked at Fu Sheng. This was the first time they had seen such a famous cultivator in their lives. They were excited and thrilled. Even Wang Ruotong was no exception. She wanted to take a good look at what was so special about Fu Sheng and why he was recognized as the top ten, while her master Xie Xiaoan was only hovering in the top twenty.

Ma Hai suddenly laughed and said, "Old Fu, it seems that you are going to the Tianjian Sect Cave Heaven this time? It is said that a sword cultivator found the remains of Lingjian Peak, one of the five peaks of the Tianjian Sect, there. It is said that there are Lingjian Daofa, one of the five methods of the Tianjian Sect, and the pure yang flying sword Tianlingjian." Using two "it is said" in a row does not mean that it is unsure, but rather implies a mentality of watching the show. You know, Fu Sheng is also a sword cultivator.

Fu Sheng smiled unchanged: "It is true." He seemed to have nothing to hide.

After the three words "Tianjian Sect" came out, Shi Xuan was already thinking, but suddenly he was startled. He remembered that he had heard someone mention it before: Old Jian died in the cave of Tianjian Sect. At that time, Old Jian had practiced the sword energy thunder sound and the protective sword energy that could only be practiced in the Jindan stage in the Shenhun stage. At that time, Old Jian might have created a unique method of swordsmanship to enter the Jindan stage. In short, Shi Xuan seemed to see a direction in the vast fog, or an opportunity. Even if it was proved to be useless in the future, he had to prove it.

As for the spiritual sword method, for Shi Xuan who was not a sword cultivator, it could only be used as some accumulation, so Shi Xuan didn't care too much. As for the pure yang magic weapon like Tianling Sword, what could a Shenhun stage cultivator like himself use to compete with those Jindan masters? Besides, although the mountain peaks of Tianjian Sect's cave were fragmented and the five peaks were turned into debris, there must be a relatively well-preserved sword formation where the pure yang magic weapon was placed, so it might not be difficult to deal with Yuanshen Zhenren.

With a plan in mind, Shi Xuan gradually withdrew his thoughts. He had to go to the Tianjian Sect Cave Heaven. Of course, before going, it was necessary to collect information and make preparations. It was not his style to rush in like a fool.

Similarly, when Ma Hai said the three words "Tianjian Sect", the faces of the middle-aged man surnamed Wang and Wang Ruotong changed. Even Wang Ruotong could not control the protective true qi, and the pure white true qi shook slightly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that there were people from Shenjian Villa here. It seems that they are also heading for Tianjian Sect." Ma Hai didn't pay attention to this side at first. At this time, he felt the fluctuation of true qi, and just grinned, but his eyes were looking at Fu Sheng, as if to say, Shenjian Villa has two Jindan Grandmasters, Fu Laoer, you don't have to join in the fun.
