Chapter 256 Begins

With their eyes focused, Jiang Che scanned the other party, and his spiritual sense enveloped him, but the other party did not block him. After a moment of silence, Jiang Che was the first to greet him:

"Brother?"

"You... are you here too?"

Qi Shaoyan calmly released his hand around the maid's waist and replied calmly.

Yes, that familiar person was Qi Shaoyan, the young master of the Qi family and Jiang Che's brother-in-law!

In a reception building inside Tiansha City, Jiang Che and Qi Shaoyan sat on both sides. It was not a good time to chat in the downtown area before. After Jiang Che asked Hongxiu, he brought Qi Shaoyan here.

Although Jiang Che knew that Tiansha Ling would take the initiative to give some Xuandan Grandmaster Tiansha Ling, he did not expect to meet his brother-in-law here. Similarly, Qi Shaoyan did not expect to meet Jiang Che here.

Especially, they met by chance in Dongcheng.

"It's true that people always meet each other everywhere in life. If I had known that you would come to Tiansha City, I would have gone with you." Jiang Che took the lead in opening the topic.

"I originally wanted to wait until the trade fair was over and then go to Tiannan to see Ningbing." Qi Shaoyan smiled, and then asked: "Ningbing is spoiled, didn't she cause you any trouble?"

"No, no, Ningbing is still very sensible."

Jiang Che replied calmly.

"As the eldest brother, I know what kind of personality Ningbing has. I will need you to take care of her in the future. It will be fine after Wanjun forms a pill."

Qi Shaoyan waved his hand, thinking that Jiang Che was just being modest.

"Don't worry, eldest brother, this is what I should do."

Jiang Che nodded, but in fact he still felt a little guilty in front of Qi Shaoyan. After all, if he and Qi Ningbing hadn't deliberately taken some measures, Qi Shaoyan might have to become an uncle in ten months.

Fortunately, the mask transformed by Tiansha Ling had a concealing effect, so Qi Shaoyan didn't find anything unusual.

"I never expected that you and I have only been apart for a few months since Wanjun got engaged, but such a big change has taken place. It really makes me look at you with new eyes.

Even Lei Ting of the Dragon and Tiger Sect is not your opponent. It seems that your strength has caught up with me."

This is Qi Shaoyan's sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he just thought that Jiang Che had good qualifications and could have such strength in the Xiantian realm, and he was not even weaker than him who was in the same realm before. In addition, there was Wei Junjie who always served as a comparison.

He was quite satisfied with Jiang Che, his brother-in-law.

He even generously gave Jiang Che some of his insights on cultivation.

Originally, he wanted to let Jiang Che take fewer detours, but now it seems that the other party's path is straighter than his.

Although he had to leave after the engagement because of his duties, he still received a lot of news from the family afterwards, including Jiang Che's killing in the Xuanling Secret Realm.

Let the Qi family become the force that benefited the most.

As for the reason, it was that Jiang Che took the risk of forming a pill in the secret realm.

In fact, although he was somewhat surprised by Jiang Che's Dan formation, he was not shocked. After all, through the previous fight, he could sense that Jiang Che's cultivation had almost reached the level of Xiantian perfection.

He was only one step away from Dan formation.

This step might be a natural barrier for ordinary Xiantian, but for a top martial arts genius like Jiang Che, it would definitely not be able to stop for too long.

What really shocked him was that Jiang Che defeated the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect Lei Ting in public just one month later.

As one of the top geniuses in Jiangnan Prefecture, Qi Shaoyan and Lei Ting knew each other. They even fought against each other a few years ago, and the final result was a draw.

Neither of them could do anything to the other.

As a result, he did not expect that Lei Ting would be defeated by Jiang Che.

He had already prepared to fight Lei Ting to save Jiang Che's face, but he did not use it after all. Of course, Jiang Che's strength became stronger and stronger, and he was very happy.

Not to mention that Jiang Che is the son-in-law of the Qi family, the two are in the same camp. Just because Jiang Che is the husband of his sister Qi Wanjun, he is also happy to see Jiang Che develop better.

"Brother, you are too kind. In fact, it was because I refined a Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit and comprehended the Mingshen Dao Tablet in the secret realm of the back mountain that I realized the true power of heaven and earth.

With the help of the power of heaven and earth, I defeated Lei Ting."

Jiang Che did not show off too much, of course, he did not deliberately hide his shortcomings and be humble, but attributed most of the credit to the Mingshen Dao Tablet and the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit.

"Mingshen Dao Tablet."

Qi Shaoyan smiled bitterly when he heard it, feeling a little helpless.

He had also comprehended the Mingshen Dao Tablet, but it was like looking at flowers in the fog, and he did not gain anything. Jiang Che could comprehend something from the Dao Tablet, and his comprehension was indeed extraordinary.

As for the power of heaven and earth, he has not yet fully comprehended it.

In other words, if he fights now, he may not be able to defeat Jiang Che again.

With such a huge gap, ordinary people might have been envious or even jealous, but Qi Shaoyan was not a narrow-minded person. Instead, he wanted to ask Jiang Che for advice after the trade fair.

"By the way, Lei Ting once said that the East Sea Martial Realm Battle will be held soon. Will you go there?" Seeing Qi Shaoyan's silence, Jiang Che thought that he had hit him and quickly changed the subject.

As for the East Sea Martial Realm mentioned by Lei Ting, Jiang Che had also learned about it.

Although there are no rankings such as the Hidden Dragon Ranking or the Young Phoenix Ranking among the Jianghu, there are Jianghu where there are people, and where there are Jianghu, there will naturally be distinctions between superior and inferior.

The East China Sea Martial Realm is an existence that attracts young warriors all over the world.

As for the origin of the martial realm, it was founded by a strong man more than 600 years ago, and he gave a very special spiritual object as a reward to attract young warriors from all sides to join the war.

At the beginning, it didn't have that much influence and was basically limited to the East China Sea.

But later, as time went by, many people discovered that the winners in the martial arts battles were like divine help. Most of the winners in the past years had a smooth martial arts career.

Many of them have entered the holy realm.

At that time, some people speculated that the battle in the martial realm was likely to bless people's luck.

These remarks aroused great interest among many people, and the Battle of the Martial Realm expanded to half a week, until it completely became a grand master event.

Of course, this does not mean that all masters can participate in the battle. If you want to participate in the martial arts battle, you must be a warrior under the age of fifty to be qualified.

However, in Jiang Che's view, the reputation of this grand event is more important than its actual effect, because being able to win the battle in the martial realm must prove one's potential and strength.

How could such a person not become famous as long as he did not perish?

It just adds some mystery.

Jiang Che is not very interested in such a war if there are no practical benefits.

"This is natural. The battle in the martial realm brings together most of the heroes in the world. Taoist families and sects from all the Taoist, Buddhist, demonic, and sword factions will send their disciples to participate in the battle.

A single fight may benefit a warrior a lot, but if you want to truly gain some fame and reach the top ten, you must at least be at the level of Jindan cultivation.

If you want to participate, please be careful. "

Qi Shaoyan nodded. A false name is actually not useless. The inheritance of all forces requires a steady stream of young disciples, and to attract disciples to the mountain, one must have an outstanding reputation.

He once even heard his father mention a dispute over orthodoxy. In short, the battle in the martial realm seemed ordinary, but in fact it attracted the attention of all forces.

"At that time, it depends on the situation."

Jiang Che didn't refuse. If something unexpected happened then, there's no telling that he would actually go through with it.

"Wait. You can't tell if you really have to go then." Qi Shaoyan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly mentioned.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Che asked with some confusion.

"Although you are the son-in-law of my Beiling Qi family, in fact, in the eyes of many people, you still belong to the imperial court. In recent years, the imperial court has repeatedly sent young masters to fight.

But you haven't made it into the top five so far. Your reputation as a martial arts genius is no longer limited to Yuezhou, and you may even have entered the eyes of some big shots in the court.

At that time, the court may place high hopes on you. It is difficult for you to refuse, but you may be able to put forward some conditions. "

Qi Shaoyan seemed to know something and gave Jiang Che a few words.

When Jiang Che heard this, he nodded thoughtfully:

"I see."

"By the way, what's your goal for coming here this time?" Jiang Che and Qi Shaoyan were talking more and more harmoniously, and soon they talked about the auction in a few days.

Qi Shaoyan asked casually.

"To be honest, brother, I really need some things when I come here this time, and I was wondering if I could try my luck." Jiang Che said with a smile.

"what?"

"Spiritual objects such as Qingmingyun Divine Lotus, Dragon Essence and Blood, Millennium Cold Marrow, Ice Fire Snake Scale Grass are beneficial to my practice. Does Big Brother know the traces of these things?"

Jiang Che knew that Qi Shaoyan had better information channels than him, so if he could get unexpected gains, it would be a worthwhile trip.

"None of these things are easy to deal with." Qi Shaoyan was a little surprised and a little confused after listening to the spiritual things Jiang Che revealed.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made a special trip."

"The Qingmingyun Divine Lotus is useful to the Grand Master of Shenxiang. Each one is priceless. This thing is not found in the Qi family's treasury, and the dragon's essence and blood are even more rare.

As far as I know, it is very difficult to obtain this object in several states in the south of the Yangtze River. You can either try your luck and go to a dangerous place to find traces of the dragon, or you can only target Tianlong Temple.

As for the Millennium Cold Marrow, I can help you. There was a catalog of such spiritual objects in the Qi family's treasury before, but it would require a lot of merit to redeem it.

The last one is the Ice and Fire Snake Scale Grass. This thing is of little use to warriors and cannot be said to be precious, but it is relatively rare. I will help you look for it after you leave Tiansha City. "

"Thank you very much, brother. I will use Yuan Jing in exchange for the Thousand Years of Cold Marrow." Although Qi Shaoyan can only help him get one kind of sacrifice at the moment, he is already satisfied.

It is impossible to let the other party help in vain.

"That's not necessary, as long as you treat Wan Jun well in the future, and take care of Ning Bing, she has suffered a lot of grievances because of the marriage.

It’s a pity that I’m too busy with things to take care of everything.”

Qi Shaoyan sighed softly and brought the topic back.

"Brother, don't worry, I. I will take good care of Ning Bing."

Although he felt a little ashamed in his heart, it was not the time to let Qi Shaoyan know the truth. Otherwise, he estimated that once Qi Shaoyan knew about him and Qi Ningbing.

I'm afraid he would be stabbed with a gun on the spot.

I can only say sorry to him secretly.

For several days, Jiang Che either took Hongxiu to wander around Tiansha City to find sacrifices, or sat and talked with his elder brother-in-law Qi Shaoyan. The latter gained a lot.

Although he and Qi Shaoyan were at the same level of cultivation, his cultivation was forced to rise, while Qi Shaoyan walked up step by step. In terms of perception in all aspects, he was not as good as the other party.

Discussing with him benefited him a lot.

Of course, the same was true for Qi Shaoyan. Although Jiang Che didn't say much about cultivation, his perception of the state of potential still gave him some other inspiration.

There was a feeling of touching a trace of truth.

As for the former, there was no gain. Although there were many spiritual objects traded in Dongcheng, Jiang Che walked for several days and did not find the sacrifice he needed.

In the end, he had to pin his last hope on the auction.

As the auction was about to start, more and more Xuandan masters came to participate in the Tiansha meeting, and there were at least hundreds of various types.

Jiang Che estimated that half of the masters from Yunzhou, Yuezhou, and even the Baiyue countries might have gathered here. At the same time, he also sighed that when he was weak, he felt that the Xuandan master was out of reach.

But after reaching this realm, he found that Xuandan was actually just a small part of the martial arts path.

Of course, this does not mean that Xuandan masters can be seen everywhere. In fact, Xuandan masters are still rare, because many masters here are distributed in the two states and the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In such a huge territory, these Xuandan masters can only make a splash.

Soon, the auction will begin.

Jiang Che also received another invitation from Tiansha City, inviting him to go to Tiansha Palace to participate in the auction tomorrow.

Sensing the full Yuanjing in the storage spirit, Jiang Che was looking forward to it. If he could gather all the offerings here, it would be worth it even if he spent all the Yuanjing.

Yuanjing can be earned again if it is gone. If the cultivation strength is improved, the speed of earning Yuanjing will be faster.

To Jiang Che, these were just external things, and he never paid too much attention to them.

The next day, early morning.

Jiang Che, who had been meditating all night, slowly opened his eyes and opened the door. Hong Xiu was already waiting respectfully. When she saw Jiang Che coming out, she quickly bowed and said:

"Senior."

"Let's go."

Jiang Che replied calmly.

I was delayed yesterday, so I'll make up for it now.
