Chapter 140: The Shock of the Knife City
"How could he, a peak martial master, break in, he was trapped in the seventh small formation, and was finally rescued by his father."
Xiao Chen was completely intrigued, and quickly asked, "What happened after that?"
The boss was also a little confused about what happened later, and said, "I just heard about what happened later. Leng Tianyue seems to have made a mistake. His father wanted him to be locked up, and he lost his cultivation. Take the initiative to be imprisoned in the sword prison of Tiandao Pavilion."
Hearing this news, Xiao Chen was relieved. Although he didn't know why Leng Tianyue put himself in the sword prison, it would be nice not to meet him.
Holding the Moon Shadow Knife, Xiao Chen walked directly to the knife city. After a while, he came to the gate of the city and began to pay the city entry tax. The method of paying the city entry tax here also surprised Xiao Chen.
The amount of tax is actually determined by the weight of the knives held by the martial artist. No matter how many knives you have, no matter what quality you have, you will pay as much as you add.
"The body of the blade weighs eighty-five pounds, and the scabbard is seventy pounds, adding up to one hundred and fifty-five pounds. Little brother, you have to pay the city tax of one thousand one hundred and fifty-five taels of silver." The two warriors guarding the gate, He took Xiao Chen's Moon Shadow Saber off the scale and said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
Xiao Chen sweated profusely in his heart. This is really not expensive. When he saw a brother with seven long knives on his back, he was even more depressed and was directly charged 10,000 taels of silver.
However, the money that should be paid still has to be paid, and Xiao Chen has no choice. After paying the money. The gatekeeper asked Xiao Chen a few questions and recorded his place of origin, name and age.
He handed Xiao Chen a form and said, "Go to the side to apply for an identity card. In the future, you don't need to use the identity card to enter or leave the knife city, and you need to pay the city entry tax again."
Xiao Chen smiled lightly: "Fortunately, it is not charged every time, otherwise all the property will be deducted."
The processing of the identity card was relatively simple. After handing in the form, after waiting for half an hour, the other party presented a wooden card with Xiao Chen's information on the front and a long knife and a mountain on the back.
With the wooden sign tied around his waist, Xiao Chen finally entered this world-famous knife city. The streets of the city were densely populated by warriors with knives.
You can see an arena every few hundred meters, and each arena is crowded with people, which is very lively. On the Tianwu Continent, the wind of good martial arts has been brought into full play.
Apart from the fact that there are many swordsmen and arenas, there is not much difference between Sword City and other cities.
Xiao Chen asked people about it,
After the place of the City Lord's Mansion, quickly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of Sword City was directly appointed by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and managed the outer gate of the entire Tiandao Pavilion. The city lord’s status among the sects was second only to those of the peak lords, and he also had a seat in the Council of Elders.
In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chen handed the letter of recommendation Feng Feixue gave him to the guard in front of the gate. On the red letter of recommendation, there is the seal and family emblem of the Feng family, as well as the autograph of Feng Feixue.
The guard had a good eye, and quickly identified the authenticity of the recommendation letter, and told Xiao Chen to wait for a while, and he went to report first.
After waiting for a long time, the man ran over quickly and smiled apologetically: "Brother, the city lord is meeting the distinguished guests, you may have to wait a little longer, let me go into the side hall for a rest first!"
The attitude of the city lord's mansion is very modest, Xiao Chen did not feel that he was an important person, smiled lightly, followed this person with a relaxed expression, and entered the city lord's mansion.
After passing through several courtyards and gardens, Xiao Chen was taken to the side hall. The guard immediately said goodbye and left Xiao Chen here alone. He waited for a long time.
In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord of Sword City, Ge Yunbin, was sitting on a wooden chair, and an old man sat next to a tea table, looking at Xiao Chen's recommendation letter with a displeased expression.
Behind the two of them, stood a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy with a long knife on his back, a haze on his face, and a trace of hostility in his eyes from time to time.
The old man put the recommendation letter on the table, facing Ge Yunbin, and said solemnly: "I said, Lao Ge, I have already agreed with you a week ago, why did it change temporarily."
Ge Yunbin smiled lightly: "Elder Zhang, don't embarrass me. Don't look at the recommendation letter who gave it. It has Miss Feng's autograph on it. Miss Feng's face is not good, so don't give it to me!"
"The Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Feng family have cooperated for over a hundred years. The raw materials for the soul soldiers and battle armors in and outside the city are all provided by them. The most important thing is that the spirit stones produced by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion have always been theirs. processing."
"The Feng family has the right to recommend someone to come. It wasn't me who said it, but the former pavilion master said it himself, and the old man also owes Miss Feng a favor, and this time he just returned it to her."
When Zhang Lao heard the words, he turned his palms and took out a jade bottle, opened the bottle cap gently, and a strong medicinal fragrance spread out instantly, which was refreshing and refreshing.
Ge Yunbin's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Elder Zhang, is this Xianyun Yanshou Dan?"
Zhang Lao's face showed a hint of pride, and said lightly: "Yes, the seventh-grade Xianyun Yanshou Pill, which can prolong the lifespan of twenty after taking it, was originally intended to be given to Elder Ge after it was completed."
Ge Yunbin smiled wryly and said, "Mr Zhang, why are you doing this? With Lingsun's aptitude, as long as you stay in the outer gate for half a year, you will definitely have the chance to enter the inner gate, and the old man will definitely take extra care. Spirit stones, medicinal pills, and martial arts are absolutely certain. Indispensable."
Zhang Lao glanced at the young man beside him, and said, "I don't need to say more about Ye'er's aptitude, but half a year is too long. He has been delayed for 16 years. I don't want him to be delayed."
Ge Yunbin got up and started walking back and forth in the living room, his expression was a little struggling, after a while, he finally made up his mind: "I think of a way, first assign a task to test this person, if this person has no ability, forget it. If not, put him in the outer door first."
"The place in Tianyue Peak will be reserved for your son, you can wait here for a while!" Ge Yunbin said, and walked towards the side hall.
After taking Ge Yunbin away, Mr. Zhang immediately got up and walked outside the door, called an old man to call him, and told him the matter again.
Finally, he ordered: "I don't expect any accidents. Whether Zhang Ye can enter the inner door of Tiandao Pavilion is related to our Zhang family's status in Yunyang City for hundreds of years in the future."
"When that person comes out, you give me some attention. If it's not finished, it's fine. If it's finished, you should know what to do!"
The old man's cultivation base has reached the realm of middle-rank Wu Zun, and after listening to it, he said lightly: "Please rest assured, Patriarch, there will never be any mistakes in such a trivial matter."
In the side hall, just when Xiao Chen's patience completely disappeared, a sound of footsteps came, the door of the side hall was opened, and an old man who was over seventy years old walked in with great strides. Quite imposing.
Xiao Chen detected the consciousness, but he couldn't feel the strength of this person. The consciousness seemed to sink into the ocean, which made people feel unfathomable and could not help but be surprised.
After seeing Xiao Chen, Ge Yunbin smiled softly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I have something important to do and keep my little brother waiting for a long time, don't mind."
While he was talking, he was also looking at Xiao Chen up and down, his eyes swept across Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen felt like he was completely seen through and could not keep any secrets.
However, he was not panicked. He had just seen a pseudo-saint. Compared with the previous scene, the current scene was nothing at all.
Xiao Chen got up and cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "I've seen senior, so it's okay to wait a little longer as a junior."
Ge Yunbin nodded secretly. Although he was only in the realm of a high-grade martial artist, it was rare to be able to be calm and courteous under his own aura.
Ge Yunbin raised his hand to signal Xiao Chen to sit down, and said with a smile, "Old Ge Yunbin, if you don't dislike the sound of old Ge, you'll be fine. I haven't asked the little brother what his name is."
"Ye Chen, Ye of Ye Zi, Chen with eight characters of birth." Ye Chen is his current pseudonym, and the name Xiao Chen is now wanted by the Yan family even in Xihe, so it is not easy to use it directly.
After being polite again, Ge Yunbin said, "Ye Chen, I have read Miss Feng's recommendation letter, and I highly praise you in the words. I will definitely give Miss Feng's face."
"But the inner door of the Tiandao Pavilion is the backbone of the entire Tiandao Pavilion. It can't be mixed with any water. I will finally investigate your strength."
Xiao Chen's thoughts turned sharply, and he pondered: "Old Ge has nothing to say, and Ye Chen is by no means a hypocritical person."
Ge Yunbin was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled: "It's been a long time since I haven't been a junior. If you dare to talk to me like this, then I'll just say it, I'll give you a task."
"If you pass, I will give you the opportunity to let you enter the inner door directly. If you can't pass, then go to the outer door to experience it first, how about it?"
Xiao Chen didn't think much about it, he missed the opportunity to recruit the inner door, and originally planned to enter the Tiandao Pavilion through the outer door. It was only with Feng Feixue's recommendation letter that he had the opportunity now, and there was no loss if he couldn't pass it.
Without any hesitation, under Ge Yunbin's somewhat unexpected gaze, Xiao Chen directly agreed to his request without any bargaining.
Ge Yunbin smiled and said, "I'm very pleased that you have such a mentality, but I hope you don't be careless. The difficulty of the task I give you is the same as the year-end assessment of the outer disciples, and the back door I opened for you is only to save you half a year. It's just time."
"In the Yinfeng Valley outside the city, a fifth-order spirit beast was arbitrarily killed. In order to prevent cheating, the body of the spirit beast should be brought back directly, and I will personally inspect it."
After Ge Yunbin finished speaking, he handed Xiao Chen some information about Yinfeng Valley. Xiao Chen took it and left the City Lord's Mansion without looking at it on the spot.
After finding a place in the knife city, the residence of the independent courtyard, Xiao Chen began to look carefully at the information that Ge Yunbin handed over.
Yinfeng Valley, located in the west of Sword City, is extremely cold inside, and most of the spirit beasts are of the ice attribute. It is the place where outer disciples usually practice.
The fifth-order spirit beasts are equivalent to the strength of human Martial Venerables. Except that they are slightly lower than humans in terms of wisdom and flexibility, their pure strength is only higher than that of humans.
Xiao Chen took a look and immediately threw the information on the table. The introduction above was poor, and it was basically not helpful.
