But later on, a new key event was added, the "Sword Ming" competition for the new Xiandao players.
Jiange welcomes all cultivators under the age of 20 to participate in this conference to show their talents. The winner will be eligible to receive one of the new swords.
This is a player versus player pvp instance.
He had no interest in the drops and rewards of this copy, but he could take the opportunity to look for the remaining three necessities for hatching Jinwu Zhenyang.
Liu Yuan carried the sword at his waist, took Gu Chang, who had been doubting his life since a while ago, with him, put a cat on his shoulder, and walked towards the city gate.
They lined up and handed over the fake talismans they had made in Chiyu Villa.
The talisman with spirit stone as its core is equivalent to the identity card of a cultivator, and the one recorded on it is a casual cultivator named Jiang Feng.
Gu Chang’s was a mortal’s wooden talisman.
The guard took a look, collected a spirit stone as the entrance fee, and waved his hand to let him pass.
Liu Yuan walked in and pulled out a city map from the bottom of the bulletin board next to him.
The entrance fee to a city of Wanjian City's level is indeed high, but it is also to raise the threshold to prevent too many cultivators from entering and affecting public security.
Just like the flow limit in scenic spots.
"This map hasn't changed... Let me know where the inn is."
Liu Yuan opened the map and walked to the shade on the side of the road, and began to look for the benefits brought by the spirit stone.
With such a high fee, of course you can't just enter the city, but at least they provide simple accommodation conditions.
After all, there have been tragedies in the past where low-level cultivators spent all their money to participate in the Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword Conference in order to gain a chance, but in the end they didn't even have a place to live and almost starved to death on the streets.
Gu Chang came over to take a look and asked curiously, "Master, is that a brothel?"
Liu Yuan took a look at a flower symbol that was clearly marked on the map. It was an entire alley and a building.
"Yanlou, the most famous brothel in Wanjian City, next to it is Baihua Lane." Liu Yuan twitched his lips and pressed the kid's head back, "It's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, children should not look at it."
"Oh..." Gu Chang obediently looked away.
Liu Yuan was not joking. Behind Yanlou was a gray organization in the immortal cultivation world, [Qingfengfang], which was on par with Biluo Mansion.
It is more secretive than the Biluo Mansion and the conditions for joining are more difficult. You need to find a random NPC wandering around to communicate with him, and then accept the task. Only after completing it can you join the organization.
But these things are irrelevant at this time, so don't worry about them for now.
"Let's wait here." He pointed to a particularly remote corner on the map.
There is an inn called Yuelai Inn.
It's obvious that the game is playing a meme.
The first task the player takes here is to find an inn and accept it from the proprietress.
What followed was the task chain of the Wanjian City Listening to the Tide and Watching the Swords Conference.
"Let's go."
Liu Yuan pulled Gu Chang and prepared to leave.
"Click click click..."
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of horse hooves was heard.
Liu Yuan turned his head and saw a group of people walking towards the city gate behind him with great fanfare. The cultivators or mortals nearby hurriedly made way.
Leading the way were not horses, but two strange beasts.
It has snow-white hair, golden vertical pupils, two twisted long horns on its forehead, barbs on the heels of its hooves, and a domineering look in its ferocious appearance, but is tied up with reins.
The strange beast was pulling an extremely gorgeous carriage with a complex structure and a huge body. The sandalwood body was exquisitely carved with patterns, and the corners were decorated with tiny gems. The front edge of the carriage was covered with a fine and soft blanket.
The driver was a beautiful and slender young girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. A lively smile hung on her fair cheeks, and her eyes were smart as if they could speak.
The guard hurried forward to inquire.
"May I ask if this is the Xuanyin family's convoy?"
Liu Yuan paused and looked blankly at the edge of the carriage. On the side of the axle was a unique carved symbol of half a yin-yang fish.
Damn! It really is the Xuanyin family!
How is it possible to get to Wanjian City at this time? !
Liu Yuan almost said "Fuck!" and subconsciously stopped his retreating steps, stood against the wall, and calmed himself.
"Huh... don't be nervous. Don't panic before anything happens. What if it's not the case?"
Liu Yuan attempted to hypnotize himself.
The girl driving the car took out a token and said, "Xuan Yin Family has already made an appointment with the city lord."
The guard quickly took it and returned it, saying, "Yes, this way, please."
He turned around and scolded the cultivators and mortals who were still watching curiously, and the remaining guards consciously maintained a path.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath and tried to leave among the crowd.
"Cough cough..."
A soft cough was heard from inside the carriage, followed by a pale, delicate hand lifting the curtain.
"Wait a minute."
The girl's voice was clear and soft, with a hint of weakness.
Chapter 85: Not going!
There was some noise and bustle all around.
Some young people were shouting in low voices: "How can they be so overbearing that they have occupied the entire city gate? We have been waiting for a long time and have waited in such a long line, but they are not going to chase us away, right?"
At this time, someone will come out to explain what the Xuanyin Family is and why it can be so grand, and a team of carriages will be booked to enter.
Or you may marvel at the fact that even the maid driving the car is so beautiful and has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Or they might discuss what species the two exotic beasts pulling the carriage are, how rare and precious the decorations on the carriage are, and even the wood fragrance on the carriage can be analyzed.
Etc., etc.
After all, even though I’m not the one showing off, it’s still a great pleasure to brag about others.
However, when the owner of the car spoke, everyone fell silent.
A bunch of onlookers wanted to see what the people from the Xuanyin family were doing in Wanjian City.
In the Upper Central Realm, the word "aristocratic family" represents a concept that is completely different from a sect. A sect is based on ability, but an aristocratic family is based on bloodline.
The reason for the formation of aristocratic families is some special physiques that can be passed down from generation to generation.
The most famous are the three major families, the Xuanyin family, the Wugui family, and the Huaxu family.
Xuanyin, Wugou and Huaxu represent different physiques, each with its own peculiarities.
The most peculiar thing about the Xuanyin family is that it only consists of women.
Xuanyin Xuanyin, as the name suggests, is the extreme yin energy.
The Xuanyin constitution can only be found in women, and there is not a single bit of Yang energy in their bodies, which results in their physical constitution being very weak despite their rapid progress in practicing Yin-attributed techniques.
Then... the reason why they are all girls is because they are born with a Xuan Yang Pearl. As long as they reach the right age and refine the pearl, they can simulate the fusion of Yin and Yang and trigger the rules of reincarnation, and then they will become pregnant.
The baby born will still have a Xuanyin constitution, and will be born with a Xuanyang bead.
It is equivalent to self-conception, and it is endless.
Of course, the Xuanyin family would sometimes recruit guests from outside, but they would only recruit women and reject all men.
Logically, this physique would attract the covetousness of many immortal cultivators, but the talent of the Xuanyin physique in cultivation is truly terrifying, and basically everyone can reach the God Transformation Stage within a hundred years.
Just because of their physical condition, their practice does not increase their lifespan and they will soon wither.
The three major families in Zhongzhou are very powerful, and ordinary cultivators and sects cannot afford to offend them. However, it is different for some small families. Many of them are enslaved by sects or individuals, and their bloodlines are plundered for cultivation or to give their descendants a higher starting point.
But even so, the three great families rarely appear in public, and participating in the Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword Conference is unheard of.
Why are you suddenly coming here with such fanfare?
Everyone was whispering and looking at the carriage, curiously guessing what had happened.
The hand that lifted the carriage curtain was slender and pale, with protruding wrist bones, neatly arranged nails that were a light pink, and fingertips that seemed transparent. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the owner of the hand must be a delicate and fragile girl.
"Shi'er."
The person in the car coughed twice again, the sound was soft and gentle.
The beautiful and lively girl quickly turned around and responded, "Young Master."
With just two words, there was another round of exclamations from all around.
The young master of the Xuanyin family, Ye Ci Ke!
"Why is even Young Master Xuanyin here? She shouldn't be a swordsman, so why is she here to participate in the Tide Watching and Sword Listening Conference?"
"In the battle at Qianren Cliff, Ye Ci Ke used the mysterious technique of falling snow as a blade. A violent storm lasted for three days over a thousand miles, cutting off the entire cliff. Most of the people who besieged her Biluo Mansion died, and the rest were all cut into human sticks. Maybe... this can also be considered swordsmanship, right?"
"Who said he must be here to participate in the competition? Didn't you hear that he had an appointment with the city lord? Maybe there is something to discuss between the Xuanyin Family and the Sword Pavilion."
"So, maybe something big is going to happen..."
"..."
Liu Yuan had already retreated to the edge of the crowd. When he heard people around him start discussing Ye Ci Ke again, his eyelids twitched again. He felt like he was surrounded by enemies and was ambushed from all sides.
The illustration page has been activated.
[Character: Ye Ci Ke (five stars)]
【Gender: Female】
[Title: Xuanyin Lingxue·Picking all the cold branches but refusing to rest]
[Level: Immortal Dao·Refining Void Level 2]
[Status: Normal/Weak]
【Attribute interface (click to view)】
[Card carrying bonus: (whether to carry: yes/no)]
Liu Yuan took a look and closed it. If he put it on now, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
In the carriage, Xiu'er reached out to hold the curtain, and the girl inside withdrew her hand. It was difficult to see clearly in the darkness.
The immortal cultivators who had been looking forward to seeing her beauty inevitably felt a little disappointed.
Liu Yuan was very pleased because Ye Ci Ke was a more traditional lady from a noble family and since she already had a husband, she shouldn't show up in public.
...No, I'm not relieved at all!
Damn it, she might come and capture him and use him as a stick now!
"That's not right. How did she get here? Could it be that I have some invisible buff?"
After thinking about it, Liu Yuan opened the illustration again, checked Ye Ci Ke's skill status, and found that the one he was using was very problematic.
【God's Calculation】
"..."
Liu Yuan silently closed the interface and retreated tactically.
How could he forget that this is a world of immortals and heroes, and there is a skill called deducing the secrets of heaven.
Originally, the most you could do in the game was calculate the opponent's geographical coordinates, or show you the next skill that the opponent would click at that moment, which was quite useless. But after traveling through time, you can still calculate whatever you want.
"I hope no more people will come. On the way to Middle-Continent, there are already many places we have to pass through where we are sure to run into. If more people come, it will become a battle royale."
Liu Yuan prayed secretly, and carefully retreated to the corner, pulling Gu Chang, and finally he was able to leave.
He just turned around.
"Please stay for a while."
Xiu'er jumped off the carriage and said loudly with a smile: "My young master said that she came in a hurry today, and the guards were inevitably flustered. This caused trouble and dissatisfaction to you all. I feel very guilty, so I gave everyone 50 spirit stones as compensation... Please come forward to receive them."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, then thanked them, praised the noble family's style, and happily went forward to receive the spirit stones, more actively and orderly than the previous queue to enter the city.
