Chapter 418 Challenge
Divine Sword Gate.

Tian Jianfeng.

inner door.

On a huge stone platform, more than a hundred monks from the inner sect sat upright.

Zhou Chengyong, who was dressed in green clothes, sat among them, inconspicuous at all. Even the brothers around him, no one knew that Zhou Chengyong was the head of the Zhou family.

After entering the Excalibur Gate, even if Zhou Chengyong claimed that he was the Patriarch of the Zhou family, no one paid attention to him, and only recognized the progress of his cultivation here.

If it wasn't for Zhou Chengyong's good aptitude, he wouldn't even be able to enter the inner sect directly. Even if he reached the inner sect, if he practiced slowly, he would be kicked to the outer sect. If he didn't want to make progress in the outer sect, he would be kicked back to the family.

There will be competitions every seven days in Shenjianmen. At the beginning, Zhou Chengyong lost more than he won, but he never gave up. He held his breath and must win the competition.

hateful!

After two years of training in the inner sect, Zhou Chengyong's cultivation has only been raised from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the speed of improving his cultivation is more difficult than imagined.

However, at the age of 17, he has already cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, and he can be regarded as among the best in the entire Divine Sword Sect.

Hard work + the resources of the Zhou family are tilted, even so Zhou Chengyong feels that it is too slow, the speed of cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining is actually so slow, if it comes to the foundation building period...

Zhou Chengyong's scalp tingles when he thinks about it.

suddenly.

A ray of escaping light fell, and the escaping light came and went, it was a sword cultivator in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

Seeing the mid-foundation sword cultivator, including Zhou Chengyong, more than a hundred sword cultivators of the Qi refining stage stood up and half-kneeled to salute, and shouted respectfully: "I have met Uncle Li."

Li Yuzhen nodded slightly, nodded casually, and said, "Get up."

Everyone stood up after thanking them.

Zhou Chengyong, on the other hand, lowered his head and stood respectfully. Although he didn't dare to neglect these elders of the foundation-building period of the Divine Sword Sect, he couldn't feel awe.

After all, he personally butchered a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so it's nothing special!

Li Yuzhen glanced at everyone, and asked indifferently: "The sect grand competition held every three years in our sect is about to begin, and those who perform outstandingly in the grand contest will be favored by the Jindan real person of our sect and be accepted into the sect in advance. There is no need for Jidan to worry. According to the rules of the sect, all monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining must participate. Even those who have not yet completed Qi Refining can participate. There is a great harvest, if you perform outstandingly and are favored by Jindan Daoist, you can also become a core disciple of the inner sect..."

Core disciples of the inner sect!

Zhou Chengyong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Although the Zhou family is now under the protection of Patriarch Xuanyang, why not be swayed by Patriarch Xuanyang? Only by becoming a core disciple of the inner sect and having a master who is a Jindan real person can balance and restrain Patriarch Xuanyang Yue Ningshuang.

"If you want to participate in the big competition if you are below the ninth level of Qi refining, you need to go back to your respective family to participate in the small competition. Only the top ten in the small competition are eligible to participate in the sect big competition. If you are from a casual cultivator, you can choose one to participate in the small competition. There are twelve Xiaobi places in the Divine Sword Sect, namely Moyun Valley, Tiangang Peak, Jinlonggou, Wandu Lake, Tianji City, Tianfeng Gorge, Jiuxiao Mountain..."

After the morning sword training class, Zhou Chengyong returned to his residence in the medicine garden. Although he was the head of the Zhou family, he also had to do chores when he arrived at the Divine Sword Gate.

Fortunately, Zhou Chengyong has no shortage of spirit stones at all. All the sundries in the daily life are made by his brothers who spend spirit stones on weekdays. Zhou Chengyong only needs to focus on cultivation. Not only that, but the yard he lives in is also the largest and most spacious. The aura is rich and very quiet.

Back in the small courtyard, a three-legged golden-skinned toad jumped out of the well.

"Master, your cultivation has improved again?"

"Haha! Did you see it too?" Wang Dato laughed loudly, uttering words.

Zhou Chengyong observed carefully on weekdays. The more pimples on Wang Dato's back, the deeper his cultivation must be. Now that the master has a few more pimples on his back, his cultivation must have improved.

"I saw Master's radiant face, presumably it's because of his great cultivation." Zhou Chengyong complimented.

Wang Damo heard the words and said proudly: "Not bad, not bad, it's also thanks to the elixir and sword manual provided by your boy."

Seeing that Wang Dama was happy, Zhou Chengyong quickly continued to flatter him: "That's not true, the master is the strongest swordsman genius I have ever seen, so of course the disciple must curry favor."

"Haha! Even if you still have some sharp eyesight." Wang Damo smiled triumphantly.

"I don't know when the master will reach the middle stage of foundation establishment?"

"It should be soon." Wang Damo blinked and said.

"Master's cultivation speed is really enviable." Zhou Chengyong said flatteringly.

"That's right, my cultivation aptitude is comparable to that of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and it's a certainty to cultivate to the realm of the Demon King."

"Isn't that equivalent to the golden core stage of our human race?"

"That's natural."

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, Zhou Chengyong quickly made Wang Dama feel better, and then he talked about another matter.

"By the way, master, I want to participate in the sect competition." Zhou Chengyong said.

"Oh? You want me to help you secretly?" Wang Damo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No!" Zhou Chengyong said with a firm gaze, "I also want to take the lead with my own strength and prove to others that I, Zhou Chengyong, am definitely not a waste!"

After a moment of silence, Wang Dato said: "But you only have the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Master, please pass me the poisonous clam sword." Zhou Chengyong said.

"Poisonous Toad Sword? Isn't this my move!" Wang Dawa frowned.

"This is much more secretive. Now almost everyone in Feijian Gourd Tianji City knows that if I hold you in my waist, wouldn't that be open cheating?" Zhou Chengyong said.

"You're right. Well, then you should prepare some defensive talismans. Every time before entering the ring, I will apply frog poison to your flying sword." Wang Dama thought for a while and agreed.

"Thank you master!"

"Poisonous clam sword, poisoning is not enough, you must cooperate with the sword art. From today onwards, you will practice the poisonous clam sword technique."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

But in the medicine garden, a young man in white was sitting cross-legged in the medicine field. In the palm of his hand, there was a green flying sword about three feet long floating all over.

The flying sword has been coated with frog poison and glows green. Zhou Chengyong has a flying sword gourd hanging around his waist. At this moment, Wang Damu's voice sounds from inside the gourd: "Teacher, poisonous toad sword, the first move is called 'Green Toad Breaks the Waves', the key to this trick is to use Qi to resist poison, use poison to control the sword, the poison reaches the sword, the sword does not reach the poison, the sword is just an appearance, the real murderer is my frog poison!"

"Remember!" Zhou Chengyong said seriously.

……

Two years ago, when Zhou Chengyong entered the Hu family as a hostage, he naturally did not bring the flying sword and gourd.

Li Fengyun rescued Zhou Chengyong and sent him back to Zhou's house.

Zhou Chengyong proposed to go to Shenjianmen for further study, he really couldn't bear to watch his mother and that Liu Heng make out in front of his face every day.

Liu Heng said: "Be brave, my son".

Zhou Chengyong was about to say, "My son is here, and I will obey."

He has had enough of this kind of life!

Zhao Suya naturally agreed to her son's request to go to Shenjianmen. For his safety, Zhou Chengyong finally got the flying sword gourd again after the consent of Xuanyang Patriarch Yue Ningshuang.

In order to prevent Zhou Chengyong, the head of the Zhou family, from doing anything wrong, Hou Dongsheng was also willing to put Wang Damo by his side.

Unexpectedly, not long after Wang Dato arrived at Shenjianmen, he took the initiative to reveal his identity and exposed the secret of Feijian Gourd.

Naturally, Wang Dato had his own plans for doing so.

As a lifeless magic weapon, he is always ignored by others, but if he is a spirit beast, Zhou Chengyong must let him eat well, drink well, play well, and take good care of him.

Anyway, now that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Hou Dongsheng can't control it.

……

Zhoujiabao.

The foreign surname is an old courtyard.

The pavilions, waterside pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, and small bridges here are full of delicacy and beauty. The Xuanyang Zongmen who live here, although this place is called a separate courtyard, but in terms of living environment, compared with Zhoujiabao's The descendants of the descendants are also worse than worse.

A big man squatted by the white wall, constantly raising his hands and pinching.

This is the macho rising sun squat, and it is said that doing it for a long time has some wonderful effects.

A man came slowly and stopped behind the bald man and said: "Bear King, I have already signed up for you in the Tianji City competition. You need to come out on top and win the competition."

Xiong Wang stopped squatting, turned his head to look at the person who came, it was Hou Dongsheng, the great elder of Xuanyang Sect.

"What's the reward for winning the first place?" Xiong Wang asked with interest.

Hou Dongsheng shook his head and said, "I personally reward you with two Foundation Establishment Pills."

When Xiong Wang heard this, a strong light burst out from his eyes, and he immediately saluted Hou Dongsheng gratefully and said, "Thank you, Elder Hou, for the reward!"

Hou Dongsheng smiled and said: "Hehe...it seems that you are very confident, old bear."

"Nonsense, bullying a bunch of brats, isn't it easy to catch? Unless Yuan Zhi has cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, I, Xiong Wang, will be absolutely invincible."

The Yuan Zhi mentioned by Xiong Wang, whose full name is Zhou Yuanzhi, was born in a collateral line of the Zhou family. She is a genius disciple of Taiji Shenquan. It was she who created the Lying Fish Body Technique a year ago. The method will soon be used in actual combat. The Yin-Yang Pisces Hand and Qi Xing Yin-Yang Secret Art were also created by Zhou Yuanzhi and her little friends. These three secret arts have been passed down to Hou Dongsheng. Hou Dongsheng thinks that these three secret arts are interesting , So I personally found Wang Dalong who was in retreat, and the two of them pondered for three days before they completely perfected these three secret methods, and finally included them in Taiji Shenquan.

Because of this, Zhou Yuanzhi became famous and became the most talented female disciple of Xuanyang Sect. Unfortunately, her cultivation level is not high and she only has the fifth level of Qi Refining, otherwise her strength will definitely surpass that of Xiong Wang.

Hou Dongsheng nodded and said: "Only the top ten of the Tianji City Xiaobi are eligible to participate in the Shenjianmen Competition. In order to prevent irrelevant people from participating in the competition, the three major families of Tianji City not only did not set any rewards, but also You also need to pay a registration fee of a spirit stone, so the opponents you face must all be sword cultivators."

Bear King: "..."

"Then you asked me to fight?" Bear King asked puzzled.

"Nowadays there are people who slander our Taiji Shenquan as rubbish and can't practice it. This is an act of kicking the gymnasium, and you need to prove it." Hou Dongsheng said solemnly.

"Who is so bold? Dare to slander my Taijiquan?"

The Bear King was furious when he heard the words, he raised his head abruptly, two beams of golden light burst out from his eyes, shooting out towards the surroundings, and a tyrannical aura erupted from his body.

"All right, all right... Save your aura for the competition." Hou Dongsheng said hastily.

"Don't worry! I will definitely honor the Xuanyang Gate and show off my Tai Chi power." Xiong Wang said with burning eyes.

"Okay!" Hou Dongsheng nodded with a smile on his face.

Now Suzaku can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but it's a pity that no one in the sect can use it.

Although the Xuanyang Sect has absorbed many people, the cultivation base of the disciples is still far from being improved.

After explaining to Xiong Wang, Hou Dongsheng quietly left Zhoujiabao and went to Hujia.

The three aristocratic families in Tianji City each have their own strengths: the Hu family is good at refining weapons, the Li family is good at making talismans, and the Zhou family is mainly at alchemy.

Hou Dongsheng got acquainted with a weapon refiner of the Hu family two years ago. This person's name is Hu Yande, the most famous swordsmith in Tianji City, who is good at forging swords with eight trigram patterns.

In the past two years, Hou Dongsheng has been traveling between Zhoujiabao and Hujiabao very frequently, the purpose is to find Hu Yande's refining weapon, a magic weapon of ghosts.

This ghost way magic weapon is a blood knife, which was specially refined by Hou Dongsheng for Lady Tianshui.

Now the dust world urgently needs magic weapons of the ghost way. The six female ghosts of spring, summer, autumn, winter, green and red have all been promoted to ghost kings, as well as Lady Tianshui and the second soul who is the master of the dust world.

According to the memory of the awakened Zishu, Chun Chengzi drew a powerful natal magic weapon based on the Liuhe formation, called Tianhuang Liuhe Sword.

If this sword is successfully sacrificed, then the six female ghosts in spring, summer, autumn, winter, green and red can directly form a Tianhuang Liuhe killing sword array, with infinite power!

It's just that the Tianhuang Liuhe Sword is a complete set of magic weapons that are only suitable for the six female ghosts in spring, summer, autumn, winter, green and red. Because it is a complete set of magic weapons, it is extremely difficult to refine, and Hou Dongsheng has yet to find a trustworthy refiner.

In addition, after many exchanges with Hu Yande, Hou Dongsheng basically drew up the natal magic weapon of the second soul, and the name of the magic weapon is: Tianlei Sword.

The main material used in the Tianlei Sword is the keel of the Sea Serpent Demon Xiaoqing tempered by Tianlei.

This piece of material was obtained by chance from under the thunder of the sky, and it was unique. Hou Dongsheng dared not entrust it to a refiner who was not absolutely trustworthy.

Trust is always built bit by bit, Hou Dongsheng plans to first let Hu Yande refine the magic weapon of ghosts: the blood-melting demon knife.

If something happened to Hu Yande during refining, Hou Dongsheng would lose at most 20 spirit stones, which he could afford to pay.

If the cooperation is satisfactory, Hou Dongsheng will ask Master Hu Yande to refine a set of magical treasure Tianhuang Liuhe Sword;
If the refining of Tianhuang Liuhe Sword, which is worth several times its value, is successfully completed, it fully shows that Hu Yande is a master with noble character and superb skills.

At that time, Hu Yande will gain the absolute trust of Hou Dongsheng and let him refine the priceless "Sword of Thunder".

When Hou Dongsheng came to Hujiabao and met Hu Yande, the master craftsman, he knew that all his trust had been given to the dogs.

Hujiabao.

inner fort.

Yande Refining Workshop.

Hou Dongsheng met Hu Yande, a master craftsman.

Hu Yande is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion. He is wearing a gray cloth coat with a white ribbon around his waist. This dress is neither fish nor fowl.

"Master Hu, we agreed to hand over the knife today. I wonder if I can take away the blood-melting demon knife that I entrusted to refine." Hou Dongsheng asked with a smile.

"This..." Hu Yande rolled his eyes and said with an embarrassed smile: "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Hou has already refined the Blood Demon Knife a few days ago, but it was a pity that it was stolen from the vault."

"What... stole?" Hou Dongsheng frowned, this excuse of self-stealing was too clumsy.

world of dust.

Qinglong Peak.

Lady Tianshui cursed with a bloody kitchen knife in her hand: "Take him into the dust world, my mother will kill this beast with her own hands! No! It's too cheap to kill him, my mother will torture him for 1 years!"

"Master, calm down, Master Chen will definitely help you uphold justice." Yuniang persuaded softly.

Lady Tianshui said angrily: "That little bastard is ignorant of my old lady's magic weapon! I want him to live or die!"

Lady Tianshui has long envied Ghost King Yundi for possessing her own talisman, the Tianshuang Sword.

Since the refining plan of the blood-melting magic knife was finalized, Lady Tianshui has been looking forward to getting the precious knife every day. Under Hou Dongsheng's operation, everything went smoothly. The sad news that the Blood Demon Knife was stolen.

Lady Tianshui was furious on the spot, losing control of her emotions...

"To be honest, fellow Daoist Hou, the Blood Transforming Demon Knife was indeed stolen. This is a letter left by the thief." Hu Yande took out a letter from his bosom.

"What? The thief still took the initiative to leave a letter?" Hou Dongsheng looked at the letter.

Hu Yande nodded and said, "Yes, the thief left this letter before he left."

Hou Dongsheng took the letter and looked it over, only to see that the letter said: "Hou Dongsheng personally."

He glanced suspiciously at Hu Yande again, the old guy Hu Yande continued to hide his embarrassment with a smile.

In front of Hu Yande, Hou Dongsheng opened the letter.

Fellow Daoist Dongsheng:

I was defeated by Fellow Daoist Hou two years ago. It was really because Li was inferior to others in his skills, so I can't blame him. I just hope that Fellow Daoist can teach me again. No matter whether he wins or loses, he will die without regret. However, Fellow Daoist always avoids fighting. Li Mou's inner demons are tied, in order to fight with his fellow daoists, Li Mou submitted a letter of challenge, and all of his subordinates' hundred letters fell to nothing. Daoist friends are open-minded!Even in the face of Li's provocation, he can deal with it calmly. Li suffers from pain day and night, which is really unbearable, so he boldly steals a magic weapon embryo from fellow daoist, as long as fellow daoist is willing to fight with me after the May Tianji City competition is over In the first battle, regardless of whether I win or lose, I will return the Blood Demon Knife with both hands. I only hope that Fellow Daoist Hou can fulfill my long-cherished wish in life, and die without regrets!
Li Changkong.

yours truly.

After reading the letter over and over again for a long time, Hou Dongsheng sighed and said, "It's really like a dog skin plaster..."

"Fellow Daoist Hu... your weapon refining skills are really good, but your character is just... hehe..." Hou Dongsheng shook his letter, shook his head, turned and left.

After Hou Dongsheng left completely, Hu Yande curled his lips and said viciously: "Hmph! People in the Zhou family still expect this old man to refine weapons for you? Do you think it would be rare for me to give you a few spirit stones? Let your two dogs bite dogs for a while." mouth hair."
