Chapter 129: Fight Again

At this moment, almost all the casual cultivators came to the valley. Today, they came with expectations. After all, Zhao Wo's reputation is much greater than Xu Yin's. Being able to hear Zhao Wo's lectures is what they dream of.

However, Zhao Wo came up and said directly that he wanted to find Huan Yin, and said that he wanted to solve their "private affairs" first. What kind of private affairs could there be between Huan Yin and Zhao Wo?

"What do you want to find me for?" Huan Yin did not say politely to Zhao Wo, after all, Zhao Wo was "won" by him. What's more, Zhao Wo called him "yellow-haired boy" when he opened his mouth, which obviously meant that he was not here with good intentions.

Zhao Wo looked at Huan Yin, and after observing for a while, he said, "What's your name?"

"Huan Yin." Huan Yin answered.

"Okay, Huan Yin, you were lucky enough to beat my junior brother Xu in the literary duel yesterday, which shows that you still have some skills. Today, do you dare to fight me again!" Zhao Wo shouted at Huan Yin. It seems that the "private affairs" he mentioned are actually revenge for Xu Yin.

Ji Cangqiong looked at Huan Yin with some worry. He knew that the young man in front of him might have some attainments in sword forging, but the one who challenged him to a duel was not Xu Yin, but Zhao Wo.

You know, Zhao Wo had never taught to casual cultivators, because he simply disdained it. Ji Cangqiong didn't know how good Zhao Wo's sword forging attainments were, but he had inquired about it. Zhao Wo had been sent by Yijianfeng to teach disciples of the sect. From this point, it can be imagined that Zhao Wo should be extremely powerful. After all, Yijianfeng couldn't send someone like Xu Yin to delay the future of the cultivators who participated in the test.

"What if I win, what if I lose?" Huan Yin asked.

Zhao Wo snorted coldly: "If you lose, I, Zhao Wo, will still teach these casual cultivators as agreed, but you, you have to get out of here! You are not welcome in my teaching place!"

Huan Yin looked at Zhao Wo and didn't say anything, but the eyes of the two of them were full of hostility.

"If you can really beat me, not only can you stay here and listen to my lectures, but I will not charge you for my lectures in the future! Moreover, I will come here to lecture for two hours every day!" Zhao Wo shouted.

"Wow! Free lectures, and the time is doubled!" As soon as Zhao Wo said this, the scattered cultivators in the valley were immediately excited. After all, for them, being able to listen to Zhao Wo's lectures was already a dream come true, and now Zhao Wo's conditions are free lectures, and the time is doubled, which is simply incredible!

However, there are still people who care about Huan Yin and say: "Okay! The opponent is Master Zhao Wo, do you think it's easy for Brother Huan? Brother Huan fought for such a good condition for us yesterday. We must know how to advance and retreat, and consider Brother Huan more. Fighting with Master Zhao is stressful, don't make trouble!"

Huan Yin narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that the conditions offered by Zhao Wo were so tempting. However, he didn't think it was a good thing. Zhao Wo dared to boast so much, which meant that he thought he was sure to win.

"Brother Huan, be careful." Ji Cangqiong said only five words, but this already represented his attitude. Ji Cangqiong knew very well that the bet conditions Zhao Wo made to Huan Yin seemed to make Huan Yin take advantage, but in fact it was not the case.

If Huan Yin really lost, he would have to leave the valley, which would be almost equivalent to being isolated by the loose cultivator alliance. You know, if a young foreign cultivator like Huan Yin was isolated, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Yijian Peak, let alone participate in the selection test.

"How to compete?" Finally, Huan Yin decided to accept the literary fight proposed by Zhao Wo. Because he knew that if he didn't agree, Zhao Wo could still find other excuses to force him away from here, after all, he was a lecturer here. So, if he tried his best, there would still be some hope.

Zhao Wo said proudly: "You are a junior, I will not bully you. Today, we will compete in the most basic way of identifying materials in sword-making, which is also the way you defeated my junior brother yesterday. I have three materials here, and I will take them out one by one for you to identify. As long as you can tell their properties and uses, you will win. However, if you can't tell one, you will lose. How about it?"

Identifying materials is indeed the most basic knowledge in sword-making as Zhao Wo said. The first lesson Huan Yin learned in sword-making was to memorize materials on the light curtain cast by the pillars of the platform of the sword pavilion, precisely because Duan Yunshen knew that materials were the foundation of sword-making.

However, although identifying materials is a basic way, because there are many kinds of materials in the land of Jiuzhou, and the properties and functions are infinitely varied, this knowledge has become extensive and profound.

Zhao Wo wanted to test Huan Yin's ability to identify materials, but in fact, he set the most difficult questions in the most basic way of testing. After all, with Zhao Wo's sword-making attainments, the materials he prepared could not be seen by just flipping through the classics. Moreover, he was obviously well prepared today. Who knows if the materials he took out were something he only knew yesterday?

"Brother Huan, be careful!" Ji Cangqiong said again with a worried look on his face. He could guess that the materials Zhao Wo would take out later might not be recognized by anyone present. After all, there are too many materials in this world. With Zhao Wo's status and position, it is not impossible for him to get some rare species.

"Compare!" Huan Yin looked at Zhao Wo with a proud face and uttered this word.

"Well, young and energetic, you really dare to fight and dare to take risks!" Zhao Wo laughed, and anyone could see a hint of success from his smile. Now he is still pretending to praise Huan Yin, and I am afraid that Huan Yin will not recognize the materials in a while, and his words will change suddenly!

"Huan Yin, take a good look at this, what is this?" Zhao Wo no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand, and a slightly blue translucent flower was held in his hand.

This flower is about an inch long, with no leaves on the stem, six petals, and no stamens in the center of the petals. The most amazing thing about this flower is that there are waves of spiritual energy coming out of it.

The casual cultivators in the valley were stunned, because none of them recognized this flower. After all, flowers rely on stamens to continue, and how strange is this flower without stamens? Such a flower is simply against the norms of the flower itself.

What's more, it is unheard of that spiritual energy can be emitted from flowers. Could it be that the flower in Zhao Wo's hand has been cultivated into a spirit?

Zhao Wo is extremely confident in the flower in his hand. After all, this flower is too rare and there are few records. As for the efficacy, it is annotated as "unknown". He doesn't believe that Huan Yin, a junior, can recognize such material.

"Lingyun Flower, because the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone veins is accumulated all year round and not dissipated, it takes a hundred years for this flower to grow. This flower looks hard, just like a spiritual stone, but it is actually very brittle and can be easily destroyed. This flower is a very rare but tricky material for sword casting. If this flower is used directly to cast a sword, it will not play any role at all. However, if it is integrated into a sword with a sword spirit, it can enhance the spiritual power of the sword spirit, thereby greatly increasing the power of the sword!" This speech came from Huan Yin's mouth without any pause, as if it was spoken like flowing water. At this moment, Huan Yin looked like he knew the strange flower in Zhao Wo's hand very well!

Indeed, the Lingyun Flower in Zhao Wo's hand is extremely rare. After all, spiritual stone veins are rare, not to mention that this flower can only grow after the spiritual energy of the spiritual stone veins is accumulated for a hundred years without dissipating. However, Zhao Wo didn't know that Huan Yin had been reading the classics day and night in the past year, and had read most of the classics in Wuliangmen at least once.

Wuliangmen was founded by the Wuliang Venerable, and was the strongest sect in the land of Jiuzhou. Although Wuliangmen has declined greatly, its classics have been preserved relatively intact. Because when other sects were oppressing and plundering Wuliangmen, most of them disdained these classics.

But they never thought that these classics were the real foundation of Wuliangmen. Huanyin has read more classics than Zhao Wo, not to mention the great refiners of Yijianfeng!

Although Zhao Wo felt that there were few records of Lingyun Flower in the classics, and the efficacy was not directly explained, this did not mean that there were really no classics in the land of Jiuzhou that recorded the relevant information of Lingyun Flower.

Huanyin read a lot of books, the number of which far exceeded Zhao Wo. Although the records of Lingyun Flower in various classics were indeed rare, there were still four books in his memory that recorded this flower. And each of these four books did not fully explain the nature and efficacy of Lingyun Flower, but only talked about a small part.

However, if the contents of these four books are combined, the complete information about Lingyun Flower can be obtained, which is exactly what Huan Yin said just now!

In other words, if Huan Yin had not read any of the four books, he would have been defeated by Zhao Wo today. This also shows how hard Huan Yin has worked in the past year.

All the casual cultivators in the valley were stunned at this moment, and Huan Yin's words were still echoing in their ears. That firm tone, that confident look, that kind of strong spirit, deeply shocked them.

Zhao Wo widened his eyes and stared at Huan Yin standing in the valley. He couldn't believe that those words just came from the mouth of this young man. You know, as an old-time weapon master of Yijian Peak, he didn't know much about Lingyun Flower. He still asked a great master of the weapon master level in the sect to know the complete information about this flower. But Huan Yin was just an outsider who came to study. He was not even a weapon master, but his description of this flower was exactly the same as that of the great master in his sect.

"Master Zhao, is what I said correct?" Huan Yin asked coldly, looking at Zhao Wo who was shocked.

The second update is here!
