Chapter 22: Shadow Sword
"Snapped!"
In the mansion of the Zhang Family in Qingyun City, a delicate teacup was smashed to pieces. Zhang Jiazhi advocated that Shao Xiong's face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Chen Hu and the others have failed? Isn't he a martial artist of the Qi Sea Realm? Can't kill a small Seventh Body Refining?" Zhang Shaoxiong asked angrily at the people below.
"Patriarch, Chen Hu is not only a failure, but a death. His Lingfeng gun was sold, and someone found his body in Baqi Mountain." said a servant who looked like a housekeeper respectfully.
"Trash!" Zhang Shaoxiong snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Is this thing leaking the wind?"
"There is no movement in Wudian, I think there should be no problem." The steward said.
At the same time, a yellow-maned horse galloped into Qingyun City.
After returning to the city, Luo Xiu changed his outfit and came to the Martial Hall, ready to go to the Library, and choose the third-grade martial arts.
According to the rules of the martial arts hall, the third grade martial arts can choose one in the seventh level of body refining, the eighth, the ninth, and there are also opportunities to choose one.
Walking in the Martial Hall, many students who knew Luo Xiu could feel some obvious changes in him.
"Luo Xiu's strength seems to be stronger. He walked past me, and I could even feel a sense of oppression."
"Could it be that he has reached the eighth level of body refining? It is said that the eighth level of body refining martial artist will condense the energy and blood, and then he will appear oppressive."
"Impossible? A month ago, I was still refining the seventh level, how could it be possible to reach the eighth level of refining so soon."
Many people talked about it. It has been a month since Luo Xiu went to Baqi Mountain to practice after the last annual assessment.
In fact, it wasn't just because of the breakthrough in cultivation that Luo Xiu's body had changed. No one knew better than him about his transformation over time.
Since the fusion of the life and death beads, his physique and bloodline have been affected by the power of life and death, and he has begun to enter a slow change.
Coupled with the recent leaps and bounds in strength, the struggle between life and death to the state of mind, and the tempered change of mentality, his entire temperament has undergone an earth-shaking change.
On the way to the library, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xiu.
This is an old man with white beard and hair, dressed in a white shirt, smiling, with his hands behind his back, just like an ordinary old man, without the slightest fluctuation of breath.
But in Luo Xiu's eyes, the life context of the white-shirted old man is clearly visible, and the majestic power surging in the meridians and acupuncture points is far stronger than those martial arts in the sea of air that Luo Xiu has seen.
Innate realm!
Luo Xiu can definitely conclude that the white-shirted old man in front of him is a martial artist-level existence in the congenital realm!
Not only that, but this old man is very familiar, it was the old man who had been evaluated by the Hunter's Guild.
Obviously, this old man is not only serving in the Hunter's Guild, but also the elder of Qingyun Wudian.
"Student Luo Xiu, meet the elders."
There are five elders in Wudian. Luo Xiu has only seen the elder who was responsible for the assessment and the elder who guarded the Cangshu Pavilion. He has never seen the other three elders.
"Luo Xiu, come with me." Zhuang Nantian nodded and said with a smile.
When the voice fell, Zhuang Nantian turned around and walked away. Luo Xiu was puzzled, so he followed, not knowing what the Wudian elder was looking for.
Following the old man in white shirt, Luo Xiu came to the attic in a courtyard deep in the Martial Hall.
"Sit." Zhuang Nantian smiled.
Luo Xiu did not refuse, and sat opposite the old man.
"I am the Wudian elder, Zhuang Nantian, we have met before." Zhuang Nantian first said, "You heard that you have chosen pure Yang Gong for the third grade of internal strength in the library?"
Every Wudian student who chooses martial arts will be registered. Luo Xiu is not surprised that the other party knows the exercise method he has chosen.
"Yes, elder." Luo Xiu replied.
Zhuang Nantian's expression moved slightly, and he said: "I think your cultivation level has reached the eighth level of body refining, and you broke through again in just one month. This is not just something you can do with a good talent. It seems that you have already trained. Pure Yang Gong?"
Seeing Luo Xiu nodded again to confirm, Zhuang Nantian suddenly laughed.
"Okay, okay, okay! To be able to practice pure Yang Gong in such a short period of time, among all the students in the martial arts hall, no one can match your martial arts talent. Even if you look at the entire Yunlong County, your talent can be ranked first. Ten!"
Zhuang Nantian looked very happy, looked at Luo Xiu, and said, "There are still two months to go for the martial arts ceremony in Qingyun City Martial Hall. Do you have confidence?"
Luo Xiu naturally knows about the martial arts competition. Qingyun City Martial Hall will be held every year, mainly for those elites in the advanced class who have eightfold and ninefold.
The higher the ranking, the better the rewards.
"Students have just been promoted to the intermediate class, and the cultivation base is also the first to enter the eighth level of physical training, I am afraid that they are not better than the senior class." Luo Xiu said modestly.
Zhuang Nantian smiled, "You don't need to belittle yourself. With your talent, you can get the attention and training of the martial arts hall, but if you want to obtain better martial arts and more training resources, you need to rely on your own strength. Fight!"
...
Luo Xiu's mood was even more uplifted through a conversation with Wudian elder Zhuang Nantian.
As Elder Zhuang said, better cultivation conditions need strength to fight for, and every year of martial arts competition is an opportunity to fight for.
As for those students who don't even have the qualifications to participate in the martial arts competition, it is impossible for Wudian to give any resources.
This is the rule of survival of the fittest!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Xiu is very confident in himself. With his own strength, it is not difficult to get a good place in the martial arts competition, and even if he is willing, it is not a problem to win the first place.
Leaving the attic, Luo Xiu went straight to the second floor of the library, and chose a swordsmanship martial art that he was thinking about, he used the swordsmanship!
This swordsmanship martial arts focuses on speed. As the saying goes, the world of martial arts is only fast and unbreakable. When the sword is released, it is as fast as thunder. It is like a thunder light that makes the opponent impossible to defend and does not give the opponent any chance to react.
There are 1,300 low-grade vitality stones in the storage wristband. After choosing the sword technique, Luo Xiu first went to the weapon shop.
When fighting with Chen Hu, the Qingfeng Sword broke apart because ordinary weapons could not resist the power of the soldiers.
In the weapon shop, Luo Xiu looked around. A low-grade soldier, because of the different materials and forging techniques, will have different power, so the price ranges from 300 to 800 low-grade vitality stones.
In addition, among war soldiers, the price of swords is relatively high, because the majority of warriors use swords.
A black long sword forged with tungsten iron attracted Luo Xiu's attention.
This sword does not have too many gorgeous and exquisite shapes. The blade and hilt are both black, which has a simple and primitive taste.
Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and picked up this sword. The body of the sword was slightly heavier, much heavier than an ordinary long sword. The hilt was engraved with a word, dark.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xiu ran the inner Qi to infuse the blessing and waved a few times, feeling quite smooth.
"The shopkeeper, how do you sell this sword?" Luo Xiu asked casually.
"The guest officer really has good eyesight. This sword was obtained by other hunters from the ancient ruins. It has been identified by the foundry. The material is special. Even the high-grade warriors of the human rank cannot damage it." The shopkeeper smiled. Said.
"Oh?" Luo Xiu doesn't know if this treasurer is exaggerating. The ranks of soldiers are strictly divided. Generally, low-level soldiers cannot withstand the hacking of high-level soldiers. Even if they do not break, there will be some damage.
"However, the power of this sword is a bit worse. Among the low-grade soldiers of the human rank, it is relatively ordinary. If the guest officer wants it, he only needs eight hundred low-grade vitality stones." The shopkeeper continued.
"Eight hundred?" Luo Xiu widened his eyes and said angrily: "How can low-grade swords with ordinary power be so expensive? I think some swords with power comparable to mid-level human-level swords are only worth about 800."
Eight hundred low-grade vitality stones are not a small number, and the net worth of many martial artists at the sea level is only the wealth of more than one thousand low-grade vitality stones.
"Although the power is average, this sword has a special material that can withstand the chopping of high-grade warriors at the human level, so the price is naturally relatively expensive." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
In fact, this sword has been here for several years. It was originally purchased with three hundred low-grade vitality stones, and it was because of its special material.
However, many foundries simply cannot identify the material, and they cannot be smelted at all if they want to re-forge. Therefore, they have been placed here for several years. After all, for warriors, the power of war soldiers is relatively greater. important.
However, the foundry behind the weapon shop felt that the sword might have an extraordinary origin, so he marked a price of six hundred.
The reason why this weapon shop is sold for 800 is that Luo Xiu is so young that he might really buy it back. Wouldn't he be able to earn 200 more vitality stones?
"It's too expensive, I don't want it." Luo Xiu said and put the sword back where it was.
"This guest officer, we can still negotiate the price." The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched and said quickly.
"How about seven hundred yuan? The price can't be lower." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, as if making a difficult decision.
Although Luo Xiu was young, he was not completely incomprehensible. Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, he knew that the other party wanted to cheat himself.
"I don't think the shopkeeper has any sincerity at all. There are also many weapons shops on this street. I'll take a look at another one." Luo Xiu snorted coldly and was about to leave.
When the shopkeeper saw this posture, he was a little panicked. If the customer really left, it would be a little bit gone.
"Six hundred! Guest officer, it's the lowest price this time. If you are not satisfied, I can't help it."
The price of six hundred is a bit more expensive than ordinary low-grade war swords, but the special material can withstand the chopping of high-level soldiers, this price is not outrageous.
Luo Xiu did feel that this sword was a bit special, so he took out the vitality stone and bought it slightly.
Seeing Luo Xiu bought it, a smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper again.
"The whole body is black, and the hilt can have the word'dark', so let's call you the Shadow Sword!" Luo Xiu was quite satisfied, returning the sword into its sheath and carrying it behind him.
This was the first soldier in his life, and he was very excited.
Leaving from the weapon shop, Luo Xiu went to the pill shop again, planning to buy some pill to help increase his cultivation speed.
The pill sold in Qingyun City are both first- and second-rank. Qi Yang Pill is an ordinary first-rank pill. It is most suitable for martial arts in the body-refining state. It can accelerate the speed of inhaling vital energy and condensing internal energy.
In addition, there are other pill for various stages, such as Jinjin Pill, Bone Tempering Pill, Qi and Blood Pill.
Luo Xiu came here this time, intending to purchase Qi and Blood Pills, this first-grade pill, which is most suitable for martial arts who refining eight layers of Qi and blood.
Just as Luo Xiu was choosing the pill, a fragrant wind entered the tip of his nose, and a voice rang, "The shopkeeper, is there an ice pill?"
Luo Xiu followed his reputation, and saw a woman wearing a white plain skirt standing beside him, with delicate undulating curves that loomed.
"Teacher Lu?" Luo Xiu recognized at a glance, the woman with a faint fragrance wafting from her body was the teacher in the Wudian, Lu Mengyao.
