Chapter 394: No Longer Waiting

Seeing the old man furious, with his Dharma Form fully displayed, Wei Yuan arched his hands and asked: "How should I address you, old man?"

The old man thought Wei Yuan was afraid of him, his anger dissipated a bit, and he said: "The old man is Cui Hongbo, the current fifth elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall."

Where did Wei Yuan say: "Oh, so it's Elder Hongwen. Since you don't agree with my view, how about we exchange pointers?"

Cui Hongbo finally understood that he was being teased, and was furious, saying: "Then the old man will teach you a lesson for your parents!"

Anger flashed across Wei Yuan's face, then he said calmly: "Since you want to give pointers, how about a literary competition? We take turns casting Dao techniques, one by one, and the one who can't hold on first loses."

This was a common way of internal competition in aristocratic sects, and the old man didn't even think about it and agreed on the spot.

The two stood in the arena, and more and more people were watching. Although the literary competition was boring, Wei Yuan had a great reputation recently, and everyone wanted to see how he could resist the late-stage Dharma Form high cultivator with the perfection of Dao Foundation.

At this time, although Cui Tianlin was rescued, no one paid attention to him anymore.

In the distance, the old lady sat in a chair, looking at the Wangchuan Building from afar, and said: "It seems that what the old woman said is not very useful anymore, everyone has their own ideas."

The old servant bit the bullet and said: "Cui Tianlin is the fifth elder's own junior, and he has always had high hopes. This defeat involves a lot, and the fifth elder is inevitably a bit concerned and confused, wanting to save the situation."

The old lady didn't speak again, just watched calmly.

In the Wangchuan Building, Wei Yuan said: "Elder Hongwen, why don't you go first?"

The name was called wrong twice in a row, Cui Hongbo couldn't bear it anymore, corrected: "The old man is Cui Hongbo! I won't take advantage of you, junior, you go first."

Wei Yuan shook his head: "You are weaker, so you go first!"

Everyone around had different colors in their eyes, all feeling that Wei Yuan was seeking death.

Cui Hongbo's face sank, and he shouted: "Only using the benefit of the tongue! Don't be long-winded, make your move quickly!"

Wei Yuan said indifferently: "Bullying the weak with the strong is not what our generation of cultivators does. Elder Hongwen, you go first."

Cui Hongbo was so angry that his beard trembled, and he didn't go to correct Wei Yuan's wrong name anymore, angrily said: "Good, good, good, the old man has lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such an outstanding junior! Then the old man will have a good lesson in your ability."

He raised his hands high, the Dharma Form light flourished, and countless metal-element magic power poured into the Dharma Form. The martial artist in the Dharma Form opened his eyes wide, shouted, and threw the long gun in his hand toward Wei Yuan!

Colorful lights lit up around, and several clan elders saw that the fifth elder made a killing move as soon as he took action, and immediately cast spells to protect the younger generation around. Otherwise, even if it was just the aftermath, many young juniors would not be able to bear it.

Facing the full-strength strike of the late-stage Dharma Form, Wei Yuan had a large sword in his hand and inserted it into the ground in front of him. The floor of the ninth floor was made of extremely hard blue-gold stone, which naturally could resist magic power and had been refined, making it extremely difficult to destroy, but Wei Yuan's sword fell, and it was inserted like tofu.

The iron long gun shot on the large sword and exploded, but Wei Yuan flicked his finger on the sword, and a sword sound rang out. Everyone felt their legs go soft, many young people sat directly on the ground, and the aftermath of the iron long gun fragments was swept away.

Wei Yuan collected the giant sword at will, one hand behind his back, calm and composed, as if breaking the enemy was just a matter of hand. The hand behind his back was hidden in the sleeve, and no one saw that the finger that flicked the sword had cracked and was bleeding, trembling continuously.

The full-strength strike of the late-stage Dharma Form was not so easy to take. Wei Yuan used "Ten Thousand Generations End" to calmly defend, appearing not to have spent much effort.

Cui Hongbo was also stunned, never expecting that his famous "Sweeping Bandit Gold Gun" would be blocked like this. At this moment, he turned a ring on his hand, and a layer of golden light shield appeared around his body, saying: "Junior, it's your turn!"

Wei Yuan smiled slightly, pointed his left hand in front of him, a brilliant halo rippled, and a thin water line shot out, landing on Cui Hongbo's shield.

Cui Hongbo felt the magic power of the shield consumed like flowing water, and his heart was also shocked: "The little thief's Dao technique is not weak!"

Fortunately, this kind of water blade technique consumed a lot of Dao power, and the opponent should not be able to hold on for long.

One breath, two breaths...

In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea time passed, Wei Yuan's thin water flow was still continuous, and looking at his calm appearance, it seemed that he still had spare power.

A cup of tea...

Another cup of tea...

Some young people with poor temperament couldn't help but yawn.

But more people were surprised, especially several clan elders, whose eyes looking at Wei Yuan were already full of fear.

At this time, Cui Hongbo's heart was already surging with waves, surprised and angry, his magic power had bottomed out, and he was about to be unable to maintain the shield.

Originally, Cui Hongbo was only annoyed at the beginning, feeling that the little thief was cunning, actually using such a continuous Dao technique, but now there was only horror left.

The two sides were competing for magic power in this round of fighting, and he was a late-stage Dharma Form, actually didn't win against a Dao Foundation?

Wei Yuan's eyes were originally narrowed, looking like he was asleep, but at this time his eyes suddenly lit up, the water flow suddenly became thick, and there were pieces of golden light inside, like a river full of gold sand, the power was more than ten times greater!

Cui Hongbo was shocked, but it was too late to escape. The shield only held on for one breath before it shattered, and the water column then hit him fiercely, knocking him flying!

Cui Hongbo wanted to float, but the last bit of magic power had been exhausted, his whole body's meridians were painful, his eyes went black, and he fell into the river with a "plop." Only then did Wei Yuan slowly withdraw the golden light water blade technique, showing calmness.

The entire ninth floor was silent.

Everyone had an eye for knowledge. Although the battle just now was long and flat, Wei Yuan showed unfathomable Dao power. The late-stage Dharma Form Cui Hongbo actually couldn't consume him. Was this guy really human?

And at the last moment, Wei Yuan showed the true power of the water blade technique, as well as the Dao technique attainment of being able to retract and release at will. Several Dharma Forms thought that if it were them, if Wei Yuan started with full water power, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on for even half a cup of tea.

With a "splash," Cui Hongbo broke out of the water and jumped back to the ninth floor. At this time, he was soaked, his magic robe and inner armor were all broken, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Before he could speak, Wei Yuan arched his hands and said: "Admitted! Elder Hongwen's magic power is profound, and I admire it."

Cui Hongbo's face turned iron-blue, and he had no face to correct his name, turning and leaving. At this time, he was close to exhaustion, and knew very well that he was not Wei Yuan's opponent even if he fought again.

After Cui Hongbo left, no one challenged Wei Yuan again. And among the younger generation, except for Cui Tianlin, the rest were not Cui Yu's opponents. Now Cui Yu had a magic treasure with great power in his hand, and there was still a small half of flying swords left in the box, so no one came to touch Cui Yu's bad luck.

With this, the Cui family trip was considered complete. Wei Yuan met Cui Yu's parents and grandfather, and then left on the flying boat overnight.

Wei Yuan came and went in a hurry, making many clan elders who were originally prepared to banquet him very disappointed. Originally, they were prepared to introduce their own outstanding junior noble ladies to Wei Yuan at the evening banquet.

Returning to the domain, for some reason, Wei Yuan always had a feeling of heart-to-heart.

!.

So in the night, he came to the edge of the cliff alone, looking at the dots of lights in Qingming, the impulse in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After easily defeating Cui Hongbo, Wei Yuan was pondering what level his combat strength had reached at this moment. Although this battle had elements of taking advantage, Wei Yuan also had many killing moves that had not been used. In a life-and-death battle, Cui Hongbo would also definitely lose.

Since this was the case, what was he waiting for?

Wei Yuan decided to go to the Bao family first to visit Bao Yun. Even if she couldn't be picked up this time, there would be next time, and the time after next.

With this thought, Wei Yuan made up his mind. However, before leaving, the affairs of the domain had to be arranged first.

If Wei Yuan left, there would be no "Instant All Living Beings" in the domain, and the strength would drop greatly. Fortunately, Qingming's military strength had expanded considerably now, and the military strength of several other Military Governors in Western Jin had been surpassed by Wei Yuan.

At this time, the top priority in Qingming was still opening fields. With the continuous supply of tools from the weapon-forging workshop, the speed of opening fields was increasing every day. True Person Chuhe was already very familiar with the Western Region at this time, knowing how to remove the toxins in the land faster.

After Sun Yu obtained three subordinates with "Innate Life-Nurturing Water" as Dao Foundation, he was freed from the busy medical affairs. This Dao Foundation could naturally improve other people's vitality, and after cooperating with appropriate elixirs, his medical level could directly reach the level of a good doctor. Sun Yu let these three people sit in the medical centers of three cities, possessing an enviable status.

After stabilizing the domain, Wei Yuan rented a flying boat from the merchant team, left Qingming, and flew toward the Bao family.

The Bao family was located in the Wu Kingdom in the southeast, and was like a pillar supporting the sky in the Wu Kingdom. There were four counties that could be completely controlled without paying taxes, and five other counties under control that paid symbolic taxes, which was like a country within a country.

The destination of Wei Yuan's trip was Guanchao County, where the ancestral land and mountain gate of the Bao family were located. There was also the number one large seaport in the Wu Kingdom, and the trade with the East Sea islands every year could bring huge wealth.

From the Western Region to the Southeast, even if Wei Yuan rented the fastest flying boat, it took more than twenty days to enter the Wu Kingdom.

The Wu Kingdom had beautiful mountains and clear waters, with lakes, fish ponds, mulberry forests, and paddy fields everywhere. The Wu Kingdom was powerful, not necessarily the strongest among the nine countries, but it was definitely the richest.

To prevent invasion from the East Sea islands, the Wu Kingdom spent a lot of money to build a powerful navy. In addition, outside the southern border were jungle barbarians, and along the coast were the Sea Li tribe. These two major alien tribes were not inferior to mountain people and Shaman tribes in strength.

The flying boat entered the Wu Kingdom and was intercepted. Several cultivators boarded the flying boat to verify the boat owner's identity. Hearing that Wei Yuan was Bao Yun's fellow apprentice in the Grand Void Palace, they were very polite and let them pass.

The flying boat passed through the entire Wu Kingdom, all the way to the East Sea coast, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

The ancestral land of the Bao family was on the mountain next to Guanchao Port. This mountain was only a thousand zhang high, but the side facing the sea was all cliffs and precipices, and the whole mountain was shrouded in a large array. At the top of the mountain was a cave heaven of the Bao family.

The flying boat stopped slowly at the foot of the mountain. Wei Yuan walked out of the flying boat and saw several people standing outside.

In the middle was a middle-aged man. The robe looked quite ordinary at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could see countless dense dark patterns, which actually constituted a protective array. Not to mention anything else, just the materials and weaving were worth a lot.

On his left and right were two young men and two young women, all wearing magic robes woven with protective arrays. Although the grade was not as high as the middle-aged man's, they were also worth hundreds of taels of immortal silver. Several young juniors could wear such good magic robes and use all supreme-rank magic tools; the Bao family's wealth was indeed well-deserved.

Several young people were looking at Wei Yuan at this moment, not concealing the curiosity in their eyes.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Military Governor Wei's visit makes my Bao family shine. The Ninth Elder is already waiting,

Before coming, Wei Yuan had already done his homework and knew that the Ninth Elder was none other than Bao Manshan. This elder was not an elder of just any hall or prefecture, but one of the twelve Great Elders of the entire Bao family. Only a Fenhai Zhenjun can serve as a Great Elder, but not every Fenhai Zhenjun can become one.

Several people led the way, and Wei Yuan followed them into the Great Mountain-Protecting Array, entering the world-renowned Treasure-Gathering Origin Mountain.
