Chapter 176

After a long time,

a thin man in a gray robe walked slowly toward the city gate, and one could see a strange, incredibly long sword hanging at his waist, the sword in its scabbard, making it impossible to see the appearance of the long sword.

The Hundred-Knowledge Hall messenger saw the person coming and threw the Golden List in his hand over.

From beginning to end,

he didn't step into the city.

The gray-robed man inside the city took the Golden List, opened it slowly, took a look, then put the Golden List away and walked into the city.

Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall Lei Family Fort.

Lei Qianhu stared at the messenger in front of him: "... None of my three heroes of the Lei Sect could make it onto this Crown-Peerless List?"

The messenger explained with a bitter smile: "Elder Lei Hong..."

Tang Men.

Tang Men Sect Leader Tang Lianyue looked at the Golden List in his hand, a hint of relief appearing in his eyes.

Old Master Tang's lineage was almost dead, and if he were the only one left in his lineage, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the Tang Men declined.

Fortunately,

Tang Lian made it onto the Good Jade List and was even ranked fourth!

Immediately after,

Tang Lianyue's gaze fell on the first place of the Good Jade List, and he remained silent.

Tianqi City, Imperial Observatory.

The head of the Imperial Observatory, Qi Tianchen, with white hair and beard, looked at the name in the first tier of the Crown-Peerless List and couldn't help but fall into memories.

At that time, he was still a young boy.

The young him traveled the world with his elderly master.

And when passing by a small city whose name he couldn't remember, he saw a thin little boy.

This little boy sat silently by the side of the road, and beside him was a small wrapped cotton quilt and a sign.

The sign wasn't big, and there weren't many words on it.

Just four simple words: "Selling myself to bury my relatives."

The discussion of the onlookers by the road let him know what was going on with this little boy.

Wrapped in the small cotton quilt was the little boy's younger sister, who had already starved to death.

The little boy wanted to bury his sister, but unfortunately, he had no money, so he prepared to sell himself and use the money he got to bury his sister properly.

However,

that year happened to be a famine year, and there were refugees everywhere, and no one was willing to buy a thin little boy.

Qi Tianchen recalled,

back then, it was because he took a look at the little boy that his master also noticed the other party.

And the elderly master found that the little boy had excellent bones, so he wanted to take him as a disciple.

Thinking of this,

Qi Tianchen started to recall the conversation between his master and the little boy at that time.

"Are you... an immortal?"

"I am not an immortal, I am just an ordinary person."

"Then old sir, do you want to buy me?"

"I can help you bury your sister; I won't buy you, but you must be my disciple and follow me to practice Dao."

"Practice Dao? Can I become an immortal? Can an immortal save my sister?"

"I can't do it, but you will definitely be better than me in the future; I can't compare to you, so naturally, I have no right to say whether it's possible or not."

"Okay, then I will be your disciple."

"What is your name?"

The little boy knelt down and kowtowed heavily to his master: "Master, the disciple's name is Mo Yi."

"....."

Mount Qingcheng.

Li Fansong ran all the way to the courtyard where the Mount Qingcheng Sect Leader was.

"Master, this is the Golden List sent by the Hundred-Knowledge Hall messenger."

Li Fansong said excitedly: "The disciple has entered the Good Jade List!"

"Mm."

Zhao Yuzhen nodded gently, then took the Golden List from Li Fansong's hand and unfolded it.

"Third tier of the Crown-Peerless List..."

After Zhao Yuzhen took a look at his own position, his gaze fell on the fourth tier of the Crown-Peerless List, and he murmured: "So your name is Li Hanyi..."

He remembered something from the past.

At that time, a person claiming to be the Snow Moon Sword Immortal came to Mount Qingcheng to challenge him to a sword fight.

Although the Snow Moon Sword Immortal was wearing a mask at the time, he knew at a glance that the other party was a woman.

After a contest,

the Snow Moon Sword Immortal was defeated, and then she said she would come back to challenge him again after practicing for a while.

At that time,

he had asked the Snow Moon Sword Immortal for her name, but the other party didn't pay any attention to him.

And upon learning that she would come to challenge Mount Qingcheng again in the future, he had been waiting for the other party in this courtyard.

However,

so much time had passed, and the other party had never come again.

Thinking of this,

Zhao Yuzhen suddenly looked at Li Fansong: "Disciple, I am preparing to go down the mountain; for all these years, I have been unable to break through, perhaps my opportunity lies at the foot of this mountain."

Hearing this, Li Fansong was shocked: "Master, absolutely not!"
