Chapter 174: Entering the Transcendental World, Fighting Eunuch Wei (8000)
Xu Bai had already reached the stairs and was about to go to the second floor, but he didn't expect that the old woman would actually speak.
He couldn't act crazy and stupid at this time, pretending that he didn't hear it, after all, there were only a few people here.
Moreover, the old woman in front of him was very powerful and was specially responsible for guarding the royal treasury, so there must be a deep meaning.
So Xu Bai retreated from the stairs, walked to the old woman, and bowed.
"Junior Xu Bai, I wonder what the senior has to talk to me about?"
The old woman lay on the chair, glanced up and down at Xu Bai, and then stood up hobbled.
It looked like she would fall down if the wind blew, but Xu Bai knew that the other party's strength was earth-shattering.
"I often stay in this building, but I don't get in touch with the outside world, so I am not well informed." The old woman said tremblingly, "But I have heard of the title of Blood-Slaughtering Swordsman. I really want to meet him. What kind of person is he that the younger generation in the martial arts world is praising?"
Xu Bai smiled and said, "Now that you have seen him, do you feel that he is different from what you imagined?"
The old woman shook her head, "No, it is the same as I imagined. This is what the top master of the younger generation looks like today."
"I don't dare to be the top master. I don't have this idea." Xu Bai waved his hand quickly.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. He doesn't want to be the top master of the younger generation. He just wants to quietly develop.
The old woman glared: "I have seen so many people in my life. If I say that you are the best master of the younger generation, then you are the best master of the younger generation. I have seen all the younger generations. As long as I say it, it is true."
At first glance, there was a hint of arrogance in her tone. This emotion was not offensive at all on the old woman's face, and it was even very appropriate.
Xu Bai turned his mind and asked with a bow: "May I ask your name, senior?"
"Name?" The old woman heard Xu Bai ask this, and she couldn't help but feel a little lonely. She waved her hand with a sad face: "I don't want to mention my name anymore, but I was defeated by Wei Lao Busi at the beginning. People call me Tianyin Master in the world."
Xu Bai didn't say anything. He could feel that Ye Zi next to him seemed to be abnormal. He turned his head and found that Ye Zi had an excited look in his eyes.
However, in the current situation, he didn't ask Ye Zi carefully, but continued to ask the old woman.
"Does the senior have a grudge with Eunuch Wei?" Xu Bai said.
The old woman chuckled: "It's more than just a feud. I was originally from Dafeng. After Dafeng was overthrown by the King of Chu, I sneaked into the palace to assassinate the King of Chu, but I didn't expect to meet Wei Lao Bu Si and was seriously injured by him.
Although I didn't die, Wei Lao Bu Si threatened me with my life and asked me to swear to guard the royal treasury forever.
I am also afraid of death. I agreed at that time and have been guarding it until now."
Xu Bai bowed his hands and said: "Senior is a man of his word. He has guarded it until now because of a vow. He is really a woman who is as good as a man."
"Hehe." The old woman smiled: "You kid, you are good at flattering. I won't say anything else. Let's talk about business."
"Ye Zi, go upstairs first. I want to talk about business with this senior." Xu Bai turned his head and said.
Ye Zi agreed and was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the old woman before he took two steps.
"You are quite smart, you know that my idea is not you, but this girl." The old woman said with a smile.
Xu Bai did not speak, and also looked at the old woman with a smile.
At first, Ye Zi's face looked a little strange after hearing this person's title. Now this old woman wants to talk to him about something, and it is difficult for Xu Bai not to lead the matter to Ye Zi, so he asked Ye Zi to go up directly just now, not wanting to get involved.
"Senior, if you have something to say, just say it." Xu Bai touched his chin and said.
He was not worried about himself at all, this is the palace, and it is also the royal treasury.
Since the emperor asked him to come here, it must be safe, and this old woman has been guarding here, the emperor is obviously very relieved, so he is not worried that the old woman will hurt her.
The old woman pointed at Ye Zi and said, "A genius in music, I can tell at a glance that she is a pearl covered in dust in your hands. It is better to give her to me. Although I can't leave in this life, I can accept a disciple, which is not a regret."
A genius in music?
Xu Bai looked at Ye Zi in surprise.
The old woman continued, "My title is Tianyinshi. It must be related to music to get this title, so you can see it at a glance."
"Just that?" Xu Bai said.
The old woman nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about anything else. Since I can guard here, the emperor must be assured of me, and I will not harm you."
Xu Bai pondered for a moment and looked at Ye Zi. The meaning was very clear. He needed to ask Ye Zi's opinion.
The title of this old woman is Tianyinshi, which Xu Bai had never heard of. After all, he had not been in this circle for a long time.
But he was able to fight with Eunuch Wei like this, although he was defeated by the eunuch in the end, and even served as a guard here.
But guarding the most important treasure house in the royal family requires extraordinary strength.
Now suddenly, he wants to take Ye Zi as his apprentice. To put it bluntly, it is Ye Zi's blessing.
Ye Zi nodded very hard and said, "I am willing to learn from the senior."
It was beyond Xu Bai's expectation that he agreed so straightforwardly.
Ye Zi turned his head and looked at Xu Bai, saying, "Sir, after the last battle, I understand that sometimes I am a burden, but I don't want to be a burden to you, so I have to work hard to become stronger.
Even if I didn't meet this senior today, I would think of other ways. Now I can fulfill my idea."
When saying this, Ye Zi's tone was very firm, as if he had made this plan a long time ago.
Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Okay, that's your idea, then do it according to your idea, but I don't know how long I have to learn from the senior."
The old woman replied, "One year, one year, I will teach you everything I know, but how far she can go depends on herself."
"Start now?" Xu Bai asked.
The old woman nodded, indicating that it can start now.
Xu Bai didn't say anything else, meaning that Ye Zi could go over to learn now, and he could go upstairs to work on the progress bar.
"I will help the Ye family to complete what they need, don't worry about this matter, just learn from the senior."
The head of the Ye family has made a deal, and he needs him to perfect the Yin Xian Qu, and now is the right time.
Ye Zi bit her lips, but finally hardened her heart, walked to the old woman, bent down and said: "Disciple Ye Zi, meet the teacher."
The old woman was very happy to have such a disciple, and the spirit in her eyes was much stronger than before. She pulled Ye Zi to her, looked him up and down, and kept repeating "good seedling" in her mouth.
"Study hard." Xu Bai gave a few more instructions, and without staying too long, he went directly to the second floor along the stairs.
Ye Zi looked at Xu Bai's back, and there was still reluctance in his eyes.
"Why do you make it seem like I broke up a couple?" The old woman smiled and said, "I know you don't want to be separated from him, but you also know your own problems. Let me tell you a story.
Once there was a pair of immortal lovers in the world, but they each went their own way in the end. The man's martial arts improved day by day, but the woman was only busy with her family. The gap between the two became larger and larger, and then they parted unhappily.
If you want to stay with him forever, in addition to your personality, the most important thing is your strength, which must be able to match his status. Do you understand now?"
Ye Zi hummed and said, "I just want to help you."
"No matter what you think, just study hard, and your talent is enough." The old woman said.
Ye Zi stopped talking, obviously agreeing with the old woman's words.
The old woman waved her hand, and a burst of music suddenly sounded around.
"Old Wei is not dead. I am teaching my own apprentice. Do you want to eavesdrop?"
Eunuch Wei walked out of the corner and bowed, saying "Congratulations, Master Tianyin."
"Hmph!" The old woman snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I will not leave as promised. And that Xu Bai is not simple. I feel that the aura in his body can even beat the Transcendent Realm. There is no such person in the world today. I don't know if your Great Chu Kingdom can handle it."
Eunuch Wei smiled and said: "This is not a problem for our family to worry about. We will not bother you."
With a flash of his figure, Eunuch Wei disappeared.
"Old fox." The old woman pointed to the place where Eunuch Wei disappeared just now, and said to Ye Zi: "Remember, if you meet such old guys in the future, you can fight directly. Don't wait for them to speak, otherwise they will be tricked."
Ye Zi nodded as if he understood.
...
Xu Bai didn't know what happened next.
He had entered the second floor and looked back and forth.
The second floor was still full of books, but there were much fewer than the floor below.
There was no one guarding here, so Xu Bai walked to the stairs and headed to the third floor.
The third floor was half as empty as the previous floor, and it looked like there were only a few hundred books, but there were quite a few precious materials and elixirs.
After reaching the fourth floor, there were even fewer books.
Xu Bai wanted a fourth-grade book, which corresponded to the sixth floor.
When he came to the sixth floor, he could only see a bookshelf with dozens of books on it.
The materials and elixirs in the royal treasury were all top-quality, and so were the books.
Some ordinary books were collected in other places in the palace, and those books were neither top-quality nor top-quality.
He had a deal with the Ye family, and he wanted to perfect Yin Xian Qu, so there was no problem with the progress bar.
Xu Bai picked up a book and prepared to start working on it.
But just after he opened it, he slapped his head again, put the book aside, and took out the book Liu Xu had given him.
This is a book on disguise, and it is extremely advanced. Ordinary people cannot use it because there is a progress bar on it. It is obviously a book for people in the industry.
The cover of the book has the words "Thousand Faces" written on it, which is consistent with the characteristics of the disguise method.
"Let's start with this one."
Xu Bai made up his mind, found a corner to sit down, and began to work hard.
The progress bar was no longer slow as before, and was rapidly increasing.
While Xu Bai was working on the progress bar, the story of Xu Bai fighting thousands of people alone was flying into everyone's hands like wings.
Some people in the martial arts world were slow to get news, but the palace was an important hub of the Great Chu State, and the news from the royal family was very fast.
In the hall of the Ninth Princess.
Qingxue stood aside, waiting patiently.
In front of her, the beautiful Ninth Princess sat on a chair with a letter in her hand.
Even with the calmness of the Ninth Princess, her fingers couldn't help trembling at this moment.
"He fought thousands of people alone, and when he came out, he was covered in blood. The barren mountain was full of corpses."
"Qingxue, you are right. This person is definitely a rare person."
Qingxue did not say anything, but she was very happy to hear that Xu Bai was recognized by the Ninth Princess.
Qingmei asked on the side: "Princess, when he comes out, we will call him over. Then..."
She wanted to ask the Ninth Princess to recruit Xu Bai, but she was interrupted by Qingxue before she finished her words.
"Princess, you can't recruit him." Qingxue stopped him and said: "Xu Bai and I have experienced life and death together. I know his character. He will never be inferior to others, even the princess.
For Xu Bai, we can only make another plan, that is, to get along with him as an equal. Being a friend is better than anything else."
The Ninth Princess smiled, as if she heard a satisfactory answer. She reached out to pick up the wine glass on the side, raised her white neck, and drank the wine.
Some of the wine flowed down the corner of her mouth and finally slowly flowed into her clothes, but she seemed not to notice.
Putting down the wine glass, the voice of the Ninth Princess was like a yellow oriole singing in the willows.
"You are right, we can't recruit him, we can only befriend him, but you are also wrong, it's not because of his character, nor because of his strength,
I really don't want to recruit him, but the reason I want to befriend him is entirely because of my father."
Qingxue was stunned, and then quickly reacted, lowered her head and said: "I understand."
He didn't think of this just now, but the Ninth Princess thought of it. Xu Bai's visit to Beijing this time was the emperor's order. Now the problem is obvious, the emperor wants to recruit him.
If at that time, these royal family members go to recruit him again, wouldn't it be against His Majesty the Emperor?
Obviously, the Ninth Princess also considered this point, so she gave up her previous plan.
"Qingxue, you have also experienced life and death together. After he comes out of seclusion, you will go to him and say that I want to hold a welcoming banquet for him."
"Yes!" Qingxue agreed.
The Ninth Princess stopped talking and continued to drink the wine in her cup.
In another palace in the imperial palace, the Sixth Prince suddenly stood up from his seat and dropped the letter in his hand to the ground.
He was wearing luxurious clothes, but his eyes could not hide the shock, and he quickly ordered a second-grade master under his command.
"Come here! Hurry up and bring Zhou Qing over."
The second-grade master did not understand what the Sixth Prince meant, but he still did it. After a while, Zhou Qing walked in from outside with a dejected look.
"Meet Your Highness."
Since the last incident, Zhou Qing has become depressed. After all, he advocated making friends with Xu Bai, but the Sixth Prince was unwilling, so he always felt that he was very useless.
"No need to be polite, Zhou Qing, take a look at this." The Sixth Prince handed over the letter in his hand.
Zhou Qing rarely saw the Sixth Prince lose his manners like this, and was also a little surprised. He took the letter and looked at it, and then his hands also trembled.
"Fighting thousands of people alone, with a sea of blood and corpses, how far has he grown?"
He couldn't believe it. When they met before, although Xu Bai was very strong, he had at least a limit. But now he could kill thousands of people, which was incredible.
"Wait for him to come out of seclusion and hold a banquet for him. This man must be in our hands." The Sixth Prince's eyes showed a serious look.
Zhou Qing was relieved when he heard what the Sixth Prince said. He knew that the Sixth Prince finally accepted his opinion. He bowed and said, "This matter will be handed over to me."
The Sixth Prince nodded and clenched his fists tighter.
Every member of the royal family had his own news, but their reactions were different.
In the palace of the Seventh Prince.
"Haha, fighting thousands of people alone is really amazing." The Seventh Prince looked at the letter in his hand and sneered: "It seems that we still have to wait and never act when you are showing your edge."
Everyone has their own ideas, and Xu Bai didn't know these at this time.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
In the royal treasury.
Ye Zi held a notebook in her hand. She listened to the old woman's explanation while recording it carefully and attentively.
The old woman spoke in great detail. After each part, she stopped to look at the notes in Ye Zi's hand. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with what Ye Zi wrote, she nodded with satisfaction and continued to explain.
Gradually, after nearly an hour, the old woman stopped.
"You should take note of what I told you first and review it later."
"Yes." Ye Zi agreed obediently.
As she spoke, she looked at the stairs.
Since the young master went upstairs ten days ago, he has never come down again. During this period, all the meals were delivered by the dark guards. Apart from that, she has never seen the young master.
She knew that this was the palace and was not worried about any accidents, but she was still very worried about him after not seeing him for so long.
"You miss him after not seeing him for so long. You young people can't stand the pain of missing each other." The old woman said, "You should study hard. You should know that the story I told you before was not a boast."
Ye Zi nodded quickly, indicating that he would do it.
The two continued to chat. Since the old woman had been locked up here for a long time and didn't communicate with people often, she was like an open chatterbox.
Ye Zi didn't show any impatience and answered very seriously.
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. The dark guard came out of the door with a food box in his hand. After giving Ye Zi a portion, he prepared to send it upstairs.
This has been the rule for some time. The food is delivered by the dark guard, which is not wrong.
Just when the dark guard walked to the stairs, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the ceiling above, as if he felt something.
Ye Zi also felt it and made an identical movement, his face full of surprise.
The old woman's strength is unfathomable, as deep as the sea, but at this moment her face is full of horror.
"This boy has entered the mortal transformation!"
An extremely chaotic atmosphere was transmitted in the royal treasury, with deep despair in the chaos, just like a terrifying Shura field.
The surrounding scenery began to change gradually.
The originally normal pavilion was shrouded in a golden color.
Gold originally represents nobility and holiness, but now this gold actually contains a faint cry.
At the same time, a trace of gray gradually penetrated into the gold and intertwined with the gold.
The intersection of the two looked extremely weird.
The weirdness permeated with a chaotic atmosphere, which made people feel dizzy after watching it for a while, and even wanted to raise their hands to end their lives.
"Half like a saint, half like a demon, what kind of change is this!" The old woman was surprised.
At their level, they have seen a lot of things, but she has never seen such a change, so she doesn't look like a human.
The chaotic atmosphere is not actually pouring in from the outside world, but directly arousing the chaos in the heart, which is a hundred times more than the outside world.
Ye Zi's eyes were erratic, she felt that she saw a black shadow swaying in front of her, and every time the black shadow swayed, her heart became more chaotic.
That kind of chaotic atmosphere made her almost crazy.
"Teacher, I..." Ye Zi's face was full of pain.
"Hahaha!"
At this time, the dark-clothed guard near the stairs was rolling on the ground with a crazy intention, and occasionally made tragic sounds.
"Hahaha, you come over, you come over."
"Don't come over, don't come over, I beg you."
"No, I don't want to die!"
The dark-clothed guard banged his head on the ground, bleeding, and he raised his hand, ready to end his life.
"This kid, the chaos in his change of heaven is so desperate that it makes people fearful." The old woman stretched out her old index finger and flicked it lightly, and a burst of music sounded.
The dark-clothed guard who was in a frenzy returned to normal, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly.
Ye Zi felt her body relax, and the chaos and fear in her mind disappeared.
Only then did she realize that she was sweating profusely.
"Is this the change of heaven for the young master?" Ye Zi was full of fear.
"What a genius." The old woman sighed and said, "I take back what I said before, Ye Zi, you may never catch up with him, but I can help you, at least you won't fall behind."
Such a young man, even she, as a Tianyin Master, was beaten by him at the same age.
"The dog emperor is really lucky, it's simply against the will of heaven to have such a person."
The old woman sighed again.
At this time, a figure flashed by.
Eunuch Wei looked at the stairs with a complicated expression: "Old, really old, it seems that there were no such talented people in our era, right?"
The old woman shook her head: "The more chaotic the era, the more heroes there are. In our era, geniuses rose, each different, but there was no such amazing person."
"Wait." Eunuch Wei smiled bitterly, "He should be coming down soon."
"Old man, even you, who fought five masters of the same level and killed two and injured three, feel inferior to me?" The old woman said in surprise.
Eunuch Wei's face had returned to normal, and he shook his head and said, "Indeed, I am not as good as you."
His face was calm and he did not hide it.
The old woman stopped talking and looked up to Xu Bai in her heart.
They waited quietly, waiting for Xu Bai to come down from the upstairs.
At this time.
Xu Bai sat on the ground, looking at the light blue smoke in front of him, with a smile on his face.
It only took ten days, relying on the speed of the golden finger, he had finished the progress bar of this floor.
In fact, there are not many books on this floor, only dozens of them, and several of them are first-grade books, which were deliberately inserted by the emperor.
As Xu Bai thought, now every upgrade of a grade requires a huge amount, and so many books can only allow him to upgrade to the Transcendent Realm.
The light blue smoke gradually condensed in front of his eyes, and finally turned into a panel in front of him

……
What Xu Bai didn't expect was that from the ninth rank to the first rank, it was from weak to strong.
But in the Transcendent Realm, the first rank was the weakest, and the ninth rank was the strongest.
The order was reversed.
Although it felt strange, Xu Bai did gain a lot this time.
Most of the books here are of the mind method type, and there are two of the defense type.
The first is the method of disguise, called the Thousand Faces Method, which uses the true energy to change the body shape and appearance. It is difficult to see under the Transcendent Realm, and finally let Xu Bai get what he wanted.
The second is the mind method. From the ninth rank to the first rank of the Transcendent Realm, this is a huge improvement, which requires a huge amount of progress bars, so Xu Bai has been improving frantically during this period.
The name of the Inverted Purple Sky Gangfeng Yin Yang Qu is completely gone, and it is replaced by the Ten Thousand Aspects of Heavenly Art, which has reached the first rank of the Transcendent Realm.
The name of this mind method has been changed, which is a qualitative improvement.
The books on the mind method collected here are all the best of each profession, otherwise they would not be put into the royal treasury.
After absorbing all the books, Xu Bai discovered that the Ten Thousand Aspects Heavenly Art had no attributes of any martial arts, but could take out one of the attributes from any martial arts at will.
It was not a blank, but chaos, extreme chaos.
It was like mixing many kinds of things together. In short, it was hard to describe.
Now, he only needed to swing a knife, and he would have the power of chaos of hundreds of trades. Combined with the Heavenly Change, the enemy would collapse when touching his heart.
The Vajra Heart Demon Body also had a huge improvement, becoming the Vajra Holy Demon Body, directly reaching the level of about the second grade.
There was a huge change in defense, let's not talk about it for now.
The most important thing was the Heavenly Change.
As expected, when he reached the Transcendent Realm, his Heavenly Change was chaos.
But it was not all chaos. Generally speaking, it was a kind of tolerance.
There was a sense of accommodating all things in the world, but this kind of accommodation was forced together, giving people a desperate chaos.
Moreover, his Heavenly Change was a combination of gold and grayish white, similar to the chaos of tolerance, but grayish white, and the gold had not yet appeared.
Xu Bai guessed that the golden change in the sky might only be revealed after he became stronger.
The Ten Thousand Aspects Heavenly Art is a mixture of hundreds of skills, which will not be described here one by one. Although it is only a mental method without skills, Xu Bai will be able to easily break the opponent's attack when he encounters similar skills in the future.
"I seem to be getting stronger and stronger." Xu Bai felt it and said to himself: "I really want to find someone to try it, but it's a pity that those people are not good at fighting."
With such a strong ability, he must want to try it, but it's a pity that Xu Bai can't find a younger opponent now.
"Or, let's try it at home, just so that Xu Daren can understand his own strength."
At this time, the voice of Eunuch Wei came from downstairs.
Xu Bai's mouth corners slightly raised, and after getting up, he walked down the stairs and happened to see Eunuch Wei standing below.
The old woman and Ye Zi stood aside, and the old woman's eyes were very hot, as if she had seen a rare treasure.
There was another dark-clothed guard, who was spitting blood and left the place.
"Eunuch Wei, you are too polite." Xu Bai said with a smile: "How dare I fight with Eunuch Wei?"
He was of course happy that his strength had changed qualitatively, and he smiled naturally.
Eunuch Wei said nonchalantly: "Lord Xu, you should try it. Only when you have a proper understanding of your own strength can you go further in the future."
There was no utilitarian color in his words, but it was an education from an elder to a younger generation.
To put it simply, a person must have an understanding of his own depth, otherwise he will be doomed if he makes a mistake.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Bai said casually: "In this case, I will trouble Eunuch Wei, but if we fight in this place, I am afraid that everything around will be broken."
Eunuch Wei turned his head and said: "There is a Tianyin Master here, so I am not afraid."
The old woman curled her lips, stretched out her fingers and flicked them, and in an instant, a ray of light composed of music surrounded the surroundings.
"You can fight as much as you want. As long as you don't force out the true strength of this old man, I won't break."
With this, Xu Bai was relieved.
Eunuch Wei raised his hand and signaled Xu Bai to start.
Xu Bai circulated his true energy and used the Ten Thousand Aspects Heavenly Art. He used his fingers as a knife, and the general outline of the swordless knife jumped on his fingers and pointed at Eunuch Wei.
He didn't hold back. He knew Eunuch Wei's strength, so he went all out.
The next moment, his Tianbian appeared.
Gold and gray intersected and blended with each other, and an extremely chaotic and desperate scene appeared around.
Eunuch Wei was originally calm, but suddenly, he widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"This knife, this Tianbian, how can there be our business?"
"You kid, did you cut off the root of troubles? No, you didn't, but..."
It's over, headache, body pain, cough...
