Chapter 413: Visitors From the Valley
The two sat down cross-legged, talking about swords and dao, they were so focused that they didn't hear anything outside, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.
Zhao Yige was left on the sidelines with nothing to say, but fortunately, Xiao Buming brought spiritual wine and spiritual food, and he was happy to drink by himself.
In a flash, several hours passed.
Guo Ziming stood up solemnly, bowed to salute, with a solemn expression, "I heard brother Shu's high-level speech today, and I am deeply respected. I only regret that we met too late."
Zhou Shu quickly blocked it, "Brother Guo has said it, it's just a personal experience, not worth mentioning."
Guo Ziming insisted on completing the ceremony, and then got up, "Brother Shu's swordsmanship is a school of its own, a different way, I have never heard of it, the truth is simple but profound, after I go back, I need to retreat for several years to understand it."
He glanced at Zhou Shu with emotion, then took out three jade bottles, and said sincerely, "During the discussion just now, I seem to have heard that Brother Shu admired Quanyuan Pill, so I happened to have three bottles with me, so I gave them to Brother Shu. "
Zhou Shu thanked her, and took it without pretense, feeling satisfied.
He talked about it because of Quanyuan Pill, the pill refined by such monks, not only can supplement spiritual power, but more importantly, the vitality in Quanyuan Pill can protect the Qi veins, so that he can continuously use the third change of Stepping on the Sea , this is very important before he reaches the Golden Core Realm.
As for the kendo given to Guo Ziming, most of it was deduced from the deduction, and it did have a lot of benefits in enhancing the sword intent, and each took what he needed.
"You guys are happy, leave my master aside, and don't accompany me with wine, what's it like?"
Zhao Yige's face was slightly drunk, and he glared at the two of them angrily.
Guo Ziming sat down quickly, picked up his wine glass, "My fault, Brother Zhao, come on, you and I got drunk for three days."
The two exchanged cups and invited Zhou Shu to join, but Zhou Shu said a few words with a smile and left.
The next day, Zhou Shu got a shocking news before he even walked to the test field.
All the Hongye sect cultivators who signed up have abstained from participating in the treasure hunting conference.
This is very unexpected, but it is also reasonable. Even Yuan Lin, one of the best Jindan realms in the Red Leaf Sect, failed. Some of the suzerain's face was dispatched.
In short, it was a good move for the Red Leaf Sect, but those cultivators who wanted to watch the excitement were quite disappointed and scolded for several days.
Things happened one after another, and after a few days, the patron also announced his withdrawal from the treasure hunt.
The incident stemmed from the previous day's competition. Guo Ziming, who was invited by the backer with a favor, publicly announced his abstention on the competition stage, and even said that his swordsmanship was not as good as Shu Zhou, and the competition was meaningless.
What kind of person is Guo Ziming, everyone regards him as a sword hut disciple, a genius swordsman, but he says his sword intent is not as good as Shu Zhou?
Almost everyone didn't believe it, but the facts were clearly in front of them. On the competition stage, Guo Ziming saluted Shu Zhou very solemnly, as if he regarded Shu Zhou as a teacher, and then flew away, directly Back to Xiaolian Mountain.
For a moment, there was a loud shock in the competition field, and the news quickly spread throughout the city.
Opinions vary.
"This...Guo Ziming actually admitted defeat in person."
"Could it be that the two have some private deal?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who is Guo Ziming? He is a sword repairman from the Sword House. He is extremely arrogant. As long as he can fight, he will fight. If he says he admits defeat, he really loses."
"This Shu Zhou...what the hell is it?"
If it was said that Zhou Shu's victory over Yuan Lin was just a one-shot advantage, people still have some ideas, but now Guo Ziming admits to his face that he is not as good as Zhou Shu, or even incomparable, the effect is completely different.
The next day, the backer gate dispatched Tie Zhenmu.
Tie Zhenmu, one of the candidates for the next suzerain of the backer sect, a genius in body training, with a body of steel and iron whose defense is no less than a fourth-order high-grade magic weapon, known as a human-shaped magic weapon.
He knew that Zhou Shu's sword intent and magic weapon were powerful and it was difficult to attack, so he put on a defensive stance from the beginning, intending to use defense to win, compete in cultivation, and consume Zhou Shu's spiritual power. This strategy is good.
But on the competition stage, under Zhou Shu's continuous explosion, his steel and iron frame failed to last for four rounds, and his flesh and blood were bruised. If Zhou Shu hadn't stopped in time, the steel and iron frame would have turned into a pile Iron slag.
Tie Zhenmu admit defeat.
Afterwards, the backer sect soon announced its withdrawal, the two major sects withdrew one after another, and other practitioners who signed up also followed suit and no longer participated.
At this time, it seems that Liuxia Sect is the only one who persists.
Many people did not expect that a vigorous treasure hunting conference would turn out like this.
"Shu Zhou, who is in the Pulse Condensation Realm, is really strong. It's hard to beat him in one game. It's impossible to win two games in a row."
"Forget it, I can only look at it."
"Haizhonglou is about to rise this time, two true geniuses."
In Xixiang Valley, Zhou Shu welcomed several guests.
"Shu Keqing, at this moment you are in the limelight in Lingyu City, what are your plans for the future?"
The cultivator who spoke was Xie Qinxin. Zhou Shu had never dealt with her before. She seemed to be in her early thirties. She was dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, showing nobility and extraordinary. The golden light was shining brightly, and there were two spots of crimson cinnabar on her lips. Soft-spoken, but not lacking in majesty.
Zhou Shu looked respectful, "Tell Elder Xie that this junior has no plans for the time being, it's best to concentrate on cultivation."
He knew that Xie Qinxin would come to him, and he knew why.
"Cultivation is very good."
Xie Qinxin nodded lightly, "However, Elder Ke Qing has too few resources. How about this, you join Liuxia Sect, and I will give you the status of Great Elder, so you can concentrate on cultivation and retreat without worrying about pills, etc. The treasure hunting conference over there There is no need to participate, Liuxia Sect will all abstain."
Zhou Shu thought for a while, "The younger generation is still suitable for the status of guest minister, so I am very satisfied."
"Oh? Don't think about it more?"
Xie Qinxin frowned slightly, and looked over intently, followed by an imperceptible coercion.
Zhou Shu was not afraid, and faced him calmly, "No need, Elder Xie."
Zhou Shu didn't have a good impression of Liuxia Sect, and he didn't plan to leave Heyin Sect. This point had already been decided, and no one could change the decision. As for Xie Qinxin, he was well prepared and had nothing to fear.
Xie Qinxin nodded slightly, and withdrew the coercion, "You don't want to join the Liuxia Sect, maybe you have misunderstood, I won't explain too much, you don't have to choose this path, you might as well consider another path."
Zhou Shu looked suspicious, was it so easy to deal with it?
Xie Qinxin said slowly, "Since you entered the mountain, you and the sisters of the Hao family have been on good terms with each other. How about I make you one of them your Taoist partner? Even if you don't join the Liuxia Sect, you are still a member of the sect. I can accept."
"ah?"
"ah!"
Two exclamations came from behind Xie Qinxin, Hao Ruoyan and Hao Syun stood there in surprise.
"Please take the elder's order back."
Hao Ruoyan took a look at Zhou Shu, walked up to Xie Qinxin, and slowly bowed down.
