Chapter 166: Have a fight where you just want to kill everyone, or be killed by everyone

"Fine, how about I help you get a sword at the Famous Sword Villa," Wang Yixing said helplessly.

"Swords are divided into four grades. The first grade is 'High Mountain', meaning standing in the world, looked up to like a high mountain, which is a grade that ordinary swords cannot reach. The second grade is 'Canghai' (Vast Sea), meaning boundless, with all rivers returning to the sea. You have to forge one hundred High Mountain swords to get one Canghai sword."

"The third grade, Cloud Heaven, means being above the vicissitudes of the world; it also implies soaring into the nine heavens, a place where one looks down upon all things, a one-in-ten-thousand existence."

"The fourth grade is 'Immortal Palace', which is above the nine heavens, hidden in the Immortal Palace, a true sword from beyond the heavens."

"The 'Nine-Nine Profound Yang' was originally a fourth-grade Immortal Palace sword, but it fell to the Cloud Heaven grade after being re-forged. If Junior Brother wants a sword as a birthday gift, even if I risk my life, I will get you an Immortal Palace sword."

The blue-robed little Daoist shook his head:

"Senior Brother, you've gone too far. Knowing that I don't like knives and swords, you still say this. You are sure that I won't want this kind of birthday gift."

Wang Yixing smiled:

"Clearly, you, the Junior Brother, cannot bear to see me, the Senior Brother, risk my life for a dead object."

"That's true. Although I am young, I can also understand Senior Brother's difficulties," the blue-robed little Daoist raised the corners of his mouth:

"How about this? Giving a birthday gift is just wanting to make the person whose birthday it is happy from the heart. As long as Senior Brother arrives at the Famous Sword Villa and keeps your mouth shut, letting me have some quiet, that can be considered a birthday gift that is more in line with my wishes."

"It's that simple?" Wang Yixing asked suspiciously.

"I swear in the name of the Sanqing Ancestors, it's that simple. But I don't know if Senior Brother can do it," Zhuang Buran seemed not to be optimistic.

"Senior Brother is not a chatterbox," Wang Yixing said confidently:

"Let the Sanqing Ancestors watch well. It's just being a mute, what's the difficulty?"

The blue-robed little Daoist said unhurriedly:

"If Senior Brother doesn't do it, you won't need to prepare any birthday gifts for me in the future. From now on, you call me Senior Brother, and I call you Junior Brother, and I will prepare your birthday gift."

After hearing this, Wang Yixing felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhuang Buran narrowed his eyes:

"Senior Brother, now the Sanqing Ancestors are watching. You wouldn't want to go back on your word, would you?"

Wang Yixing felt more and more ominous, but still braced himself:

"Regret what? Senior Brother has grown up and doesn't know how to write the word 'regret'."

"Good!"

The blue-robed little Daoist clapped his hands.

The next day.

The two approached the Famous Sword Villa and saw that the road was becoming more and more lively, with all kinds of martial arts people, such as lone swordsmen and noble young masters, as well as various martial arts sects.

"Senior Brother, the Famous Sword Villa is about to arrive. Here are two talismans for you," Zhuang Buran took out two folded talismans from his arms.

"Junior Brother Huanzhen, I am your own Senior Brother."

Wang Yixing looked at the two triangular talismans in the blue-robed little Daoist's hand and couldn't help but speak with some trepidation.

"Stick these two talismans in a place you think is not in the way, and you will understand."

Wang Yixing took the talismans suspiciously, stuck them on the inside of his Daoist robe, and suddenly said:

"Junior Brother, is that you?"

He looked at Zhuang Buran suddenly:

"A talisman for sound transmission over a thousand miles, a talisman for observing people from a thousand miles away. You really borrowed Junior Brother Yuzhen's hand to realize the Daoist arts you thought of before!"

"I can only say one thing: Junior Brother is worthy of being an immortal reincarnation," Zhuang Buran smiled.

After hearing this, Wang Yixing seemed to have discovered a novel toy, constantly chatting with Zhao Yuzhen, who was far away on Wangcheng Mountain, using the 'Heart-Reflecting Spirit Talisman', and also asking how far the 'Round Light Spirit Talisman' on his body could allow him to see around him.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A voice with a hint of laughter came to Wang Yixing's ears:

"Senior Brother, we have arrived. Remember to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, I will be the eldest disciple under Lu Suzhen from now on."

Suddenly, Wang Yixing looked up and saw a sword mountain stuck with long swords. He explained a few words to Zhao Yuzhen and fell completely silent.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with the words "Poison You to Death" written on his back was explaining to a young man beside him who was dashing, bold, unrestrained, and carried a wine pot at his waist:

"Sixty years ago, the Famous Sword Villa also produced a Sword Immortal named Wei Changshu, who roamed the world and was hard to find an opponent."

"Before he died under the 'Cold and Warm Twin Swords' of the Kunlun Sword Immortal, he responded to all the people who came to ask for a sword, and he did not hurt their lives. He only needed them to leave their swords behind."

"As a result, after more than ten years, the swords left by the people who asked for swords were stuck on half of the mountain. After Wei Changshu died, swordsmen often rushed over from thousands of miles away to treat their swords as incense and stick them on the mountain, thus turning it into the sword mountain you see today."

Zhuang Buran looked over when he heard the sound. After seeing the appearance of the two, and perceiving them with 'Sudming Tong' and 'Other-Heart Penetration', he knew that the visitors were the contemporary 'Qi Luck Child' and his uncle.

The former was the only grandson of the Marquis of Zhenxi, Baili Luochen, the young master of the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion, and the future Great Venerable of Snow Moon City, the Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun.

The latter was the first genius in three hundred years of the Wen family in terms of poison arts, known as the Poison Bodhisattva, Wen Hujiu.

Since Zhuang Buran descended into this world, he had calculated the path of Heavenly Secrets.

The plot of this story began with Baili Dongjun being naughty since childhood, not liking poetry, not reading military books, not learning martial arts, but only liking brewing wine, just because he had an agreement with his friend Ye Yun, who was killed when he was young, to become a Wine Immortal.

However, if one wants to reach the Diamond Mortal Realm, there are two ways: martial arts cultivation and medicine cultivation. The so-called martial arts cultivation is to build a diamond physique layer by layer through practicing martial arts.

Medicine cultivation is to cultivate the realm through spiritual pills. Disciples of martial arts aristocratic families mostly use this method to practice.

When the Marquis of Zhenxi, Baili Luochen, destroyed Xichu, he saved the famous Confucian Immortal Gu Chen. By mistake, Baili Dongjun became his disciple and learned the art of brewing wine. After that, without his own knowledge, he drank many years of medicinal wine and rose to the Diamond Mortal Realm.

Before he truly learned it, he could only show the strength of the Diamond Mortal Realm when he was drunk and unconscious.

It was also at this Famous Sword Villa that he accidentally exposed the news that his master was not dead.

Who in Beili doesn't covet Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's martial arts and medicine-man technique?

The so-called medicine-man technique is to make people feel tireless, not feel pain after being injured, and only attack more brutally. Therefore, on the battlefield, one can fight a hundred.

Back then, during the national war between Beili and Xichu, he used the medicine-man technique to block an army of 300,000 for three months.

Once the news was exposed, it naturally shocked the Beili imperial court and the martial arts world, and also brought about a murderous disaster.

Baili Dongjun also grew up because of this, went to Tianqi City to become a disciple of the world's number one Li Changsheng, and began to truly learn martial arts.

Later, he recognized Ye Yun, who had already changed his name to Ye Dingzhi. At that time, the remnants of Northern Que in Heavenly Beyond Heaven still wanted to restore the country.

Northern Que was originally a border country that liked martial arts. The contemporary emperor, Yue Fengcheng, inherited the peerless martial arts of the Yue royal family and became the number one martial arts emperor of Northern Que in a hundred years.

Because of his high aspirations, he didn't want to be the emperor of a border country, so he secretly united with Xichu to launch a war against Beili.

The result was the destruction of the country and fleeing to the extreme north. But he still didn't give up, trying to close the death pass to practice martial arts, hoping to reach Great Completion and get the opportunity to restore the country.

But because he had been in seclusion for many years, his life and death were unknown, and many subordinates and his daughter couldn't wait any longer.

In addition, in order not to let people disturb his seclusion, Yue Fengcheng set up a restriction mechanism. Only those who practiced the same 'Void Thought Technique' could open the restriction mechanism.

But to practice the 'Void Thought Technique', one must have a natural martial pulse.

The people of Heavenly Beyond Heaven wanted to find someone with a natural martial pulse to open the restriction mechanism and force Yue Fengcheng to come out of seclusion, and they found that Baili Dongjun had a natural martial pulse. Unfortunately, because his family was prominent and he was a disciple of the world's number one Li Changsheng, they were never able to take him to Heavenly Beyond Heaven.

They happened to find that Ye Dingzhi also had a natural martial pulse. Through a series of means, they finally made him, who had a grudge against the Beili royal family, eventually want to destroy Beili.

Finally, with his own strength, he turned the thirty-six sects of Heavenly Beyond Heaven into a demon sect in the eyes of the world and launched a war against Beili.

Baili Dongjun led a group of heroes in the world to resist. He wanted to save the common people, but also wanted to save his friend.

The result was, of course, that Ye Dingzhi didn't want to drag Baili Dongjun down, didn't want him to be disgraced and pointed at by thousands of people for saving him, a great demon, so he committed suicide.

To return to the main topic, the sword mountain was not high. Following Wang Yixing taking out the visiting card, they only walked for half an hour before walking into the Famous Sword Villa with the blue-robed little Daoist.

The vast courtyard was already full of wine tables, with people drinking and chatting in groups of three or five. In the center was a high platform, which was clearly a place for swordsmen to compete.

Relying on the name of Wangcheng Mountain, the two were led by a sword attendant to sit at the upper table on the second floor, where they could better watch the scene on the high platform.

And Wen Hujiu didn't rely on the prestige of the Wen family. Relying on his reputation as the Poison Bodhisattva, he also sat at the upper table on the second floor under the eyes of everyone who was afraid to approach.

Zhuang Buran and Wang Yixing were at the table next to them, and heard Wen Hujiu say:

"The sword wine of the Famous Sword Villa is cold and sharp, just like a sword. The taste is not inferior to those you brewed, but it is exceptionally fierce. If you drink too much, you will get drunk."

Immediately, with a gentle, long, and moving piano sound, the Sword Trial Assembly began.

First, a group of swordsmen competed for thirty High Mountain grade famous swords. In the duel of drawing swords, thirty famous swords found their masters.

At this moment, Wang Yixing was drinking sword wine with a restless heart, always feeling that the Junior Brother sitting beside him was up to some tricks.

After ten Canghai swords found their masters, it was the competition for three Cloud Heaven swords. When a woman in red inserted a hot, fiery red sword on the platform, it instantly made everyone around the platform feel a warmth.

"The second sword of the Cloud grade, the Fire God Sword, please come and take it!" After the woman in red finished speaking, she leaped off the platform.

The sword of the former Kunlun Sword Immortal, even if it fell from the Immortal Palace to the Cloud grade, was still a sword that countless swordsmen yearned for.

Immediately, three swordsmen who were quite confident in their strength leaped up.

"Senior Brother, it's your turn," Zhuang Buran said with a smile from the side.

Wang Yixing stood up and leaped into the air. As he flew, a relatively young voice spread throughout the courtyard.

"My Senior Brother is Wang Yixing, the eldest disciple of Lu Suzhen, the leader of Wangcheng Mountain. I am here to take the sword."

"Wang is the king of swords, Yi is the number one in the world, and Xing is the 'Xing' that I can do what you can't."

"Everyone, besides wanting to take the Fire God Sword today, my Senior Brother also wants to compete with top experts."

"Have a fight where you just want to kill everyone, or be killed by everyone."

Suddenly, Wang Yixing, who had landed on the high platform, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
