Aha, So This Was the Scent of a Sword Person

What?

A large number of Spirit Stone are needed?!

It's just Spirit Stone, isn't it?!

Among the disciples of this generation, besides Your Highness, how many are richer than me Dan the Fatty?

With my assets... I'll exchange Spirit Stone for a ranking?

This is such a great deal!

He was smugly thinking, even imagining himself achieving a good ranking, catching the eye of many beautiful ladies from the Jade Pool Holy Land, marrying one of them, becoming an alchemy elder, and reaching the pinnacle of life!

"One taken care of!"

Lin Fan grinned. "My first deal was worth ten million Spirit Stone, not a loss at all!"

"As for Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining..."

He frowned and thought for a moment, "When I first transmigrated, I was very grateful to them for giving me a lot of information."

"Why don't we lend them a hand while we're at it?"

"However, they are not entirely without a chance of winning. If they were to achieve victory in one fell swoop, it would not be a good thing for them either."

Jade that is not carved cannot become a useful object.

A tree can never grow into a towering tree without experiencing wind and rain.

The talents of Protector Disciple like Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining would definitely place them among the top-tier disciples in a second- or even First-Rate Sect. Even if they weren't among the very best, they would still be considered geniuses.

Their future can actually go very far.

For them, such a great battle is like the wind and rain that a tree must endure.

To shelter them from the wind and rain?

It may seem like it's for their own good, but in reality, it's harming them.

"So..."

"We can help, but only a little, not too much."

"Hmm... I've got an idea!"

"Let's leave this first round for now. I might not be able to handle too many orders, and we also need to use this opportunity to build our reputation so we can get more business later."

After thinking for a moment, he went out.

now.

Almost all the prodigies were making their final preparations.

The competition starts tomorrow, and half the participants will be eliminated in the first round...

At this moment, apart from a few people who had gotten the information and knew the match list, most people were completely bewildered and anxious, and could only try their best to keep themselves in top condition.

However, the Purple Mansion Disciple were relatively calm.

because...

Everyone has a mobile phone!

Furthermore, the phone has a 'channel call' function!

Simply put, it's similar to the chat function in online games. You can choose one-on-one chat, but there are also channels like 'country', 'guild', and 'world' for group chat.

Not long after Zhong Feiyu, the All-Knowing Zhong Feiyu, successfully sold the first piece of intelligence he had prepared to Qi Zixiao, he posted a message in the 'Sect' channel.

"Fellow disciples in the Three Saints City, I, the all- All-Knowing Zhong Feiyu Zhong Feiyu, have gone to great lengths to finally obtain the most complete intelligence on this year's Heaven's Chosen Assembly! It has everything from the battle list to detailed information on many of the key geniuses to watch."

Her Your Highness Saintess has already purchased a copy. If anyone needs one, please contact me at the specified address...

Upon seeing this message, how could Purple Mansion Disciple possibly remain calm?!

The Saintess bought them all?

That intelligence must be credible!

If I don't buy it, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? Besides... only by understanding the enemy can I avoid panicking during the battle!

Purchase!

You absolutely must buy it!

Even those like Snow Maiden and Li Fu, who were at odds with Qi Zixiao, rushed over immediately after seeing the news to purchase information.

What?

What if the Saintess didn't buy it?

They've already posted the information publicly in the 'Sect' channel, how could it be fake? Unless, of course, All-Knowing Zhong Feiyu doesn't want to stay in the business!

So nobody suspected anything.

Zhong Feiyu quickly made a fortune.

However, the geniuses of the Purple Mansion also obtained the information they wanted.

Some are happy, some are sad, but being prepared will naturally make things better.

Except for Lu Ming.

Judging from the list, his opponents weren't strong, and he was extremely lucky.

After all, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage at present, and he is only at the middle stage. There are no cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm among those who come to participate in the event!

But the person he encountered happened to be a Rogue Cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm...

The Holy Land Disciple, not to mention anything else, are more than enough to crush the Rogue Cultivator in terms of cultivation techniques and spells alone.

Logically speaking, Lu Ming should be happy to have encountered such an opponent.

Can...

But he just couldn't feel happy.

Because Lu Yao's opponent was none other than Huang Shang, a female cultivator from the Supreme Unity Holy Land who had met her several times before!

Logically speaking, as the Jade Pool Saintess, Lu Yao should be able to easily defeat ordinary core and elite disciples of other holy lands.

The problem is that Lu Yao is too young and started her training relatively late. Although she has shown extraordinary talent and become Saintess, her cultivation level is not very high.

Currently, he has only barely broken through to the Void Refinement stage.

What about Huang Shang?

He's quite old, over eighty years old!

According to intelligence, he even broke through to the Void Refining Late Stage a few days ago!

The difference between the two realms made Lu Ming uneasy, so he took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Yao.

"Yao Yao".

soon.

Lu Yao replied sweetly, "Brother Lu Ming, you were looking for me?"

"Well, listen to me. I have some intelligence here. I know that your opponent tomorrow is Huang Shang from the Supreme Unity Holy Land!"

Lu Ming's voice was serious. "She has already broken through to the Void Refining Late Stage. You should be careful when facing her."

"Furthermore, her method of gaining fame seems to be related to her name, so be careful with her clothing!"

"Understood, Brother Lu Ming."

Lu Yao smiled and replied, "I'll be careful!"

"And what about you, Brother Lu Ming? How strong is your opponent?"

"My opponent is weak..."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"Then I'm relieved. Brother Lu Ming, after we both win tomorrow, shall we meet up?"

"..., good!"

The night was dark and the wind was high.

But within the Three Saints City, there were lights...

I made a mistake, let's try again!

The night was dark and windy, but there was little nighttime scenery in the Three Saints City.

lamp?

Without lamps, cultivators typically use various strange and unusual crystals and stones that emit light for illumination.

Colorful and varied.

In fact, cultivators do not need any lighting tools, but most humans prefer light.

At night, if you don't need to rest, having a little brighter lighting can improve your mood.

But this gave Lin Fan a bit of a headache!

"Holy crap?"

He rubbed his temples. "What happened to the promised dark and stormy night for murder?"

"It's so bright now, although it's not daytime, it's almost dusk, so you can see everything very clearly."

"How am I supposed to do it?!"

"..."

"There's no way around it, it seems like playing dirty tricks won't work."

Lin Fan was speechless.

He originally planned to take advantage of the darkness, strike stealthily, and finish the job quickly.

After all, the rule of the Three Saints City is that private fighting is not allowed. If you are slow and are discovered by the guards, you may be arrested.

Therefore, it's best to avoid being discovered if possible.

But now it seems, how do we launch a sneak attack?

Not only was it not dark, but the guards never "went off duty" either...

"I was being a bit presumptuous."

The man frowned, realizing what was happening.

"It's one thing for ordinary people, but Three Saints City is a city where cultivators gather, and now it's a gathering place for geniuses. How could they turn off their lights and go to sleep like ordinary people do at night?"

"Moreover, cultivators don't need to sleep at all; even at night, they mostly cultivate with their eyes closed..."

"So there's really no need to wait until night."

"But then again, things have come to this point, so we can only be a little more 'open and aboveboard' now!"

The fellow jumped out from his hiding place.

He pretended to dust himself off, then headed towards Jianzi's lodging.

From a distance, Lin Fan looked as if he had just happened to pass by.

But as he approached the vicinity, he suddenly stopped, then looked surprised and uncertain. "Huh?"

What does it taste like?

"Why does it smell so bad!"

Jianzi was holding his longsword, leaning against the window, as if deep in thought.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, he narrowed his eyes and looked over.

"It's you?"

Cultivators possess powerful Divine Sense.

If you hadn't paid attention to it, that's fine; but if you had, you wouldn't have forgotten it in such a short time.

"It's me. Can you smell anything?"

"The kind that smells really bad..."

Lin Fan shook his head, then frowned, as if he could hardly bear it.

"What does it smell like? Let me think... I've smelled it before!"

"Wow!"

He suddenly slapped his forehead, as if struck by a sudden realization. "I remember now, it's the smell of a bastard!"

"Yes, she's a slut!"

Jianzi's expression immediately changed.

At the gate, two Protector Disciple stepped forward instantly and shouted sternly, "How dare you!"

"If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

How am I talking nonsense?

Lin Fan shrugged, looking completely innocent. "It just smells like a jerk."

"Don't you think so?"

At this moment, Lin Fan looked at Jian Qiu Mobai with a half-smile.

Qiu Mobai's expression suddenly turned cold, his face covered in frost. At the same time, a chilling sword aura swirled around him, as if it would burst forth at any moment and tear everything apart!

Do you want to die?

He spoke in a chilling tone, his anger rising.

All the sword prodigies throughout history have Sword Spirit Body; the ability to become one with the sword is practically innate from birth...

This is why, in the Cultivation World, the Sword Masters of each generation are often referred to as Sword Person by their enemies and those who dislike them.

But most people wouldn't dare say that.

After all, the swordsmen of each generation have been very powerful...

However, with Lin Fan standing right in front of Qiu Mobai and repeatedly calling her a 'bitch,' how could Qiu Mobai remain calm?

"Just telling the truth, I don't want to die."

Lin Fan shrugged.

"I will grant your wish."

Qiu Mobai...

At this moment, he had grasped the true meaning of 'arrogance and domineering'!

Didn't you see that we were able to register successfully at the registration desk without giving Spirit Stone or having our bone age tested, and the organizer, the Three Saints City, didn't say anything?!

Do you think that because private duels are forbidden in the Three Saints City, you can provoke me at will?

I'll kill you then, and let's see what the Three Saints City can do!

Since I have the strength, I should be arrogant!

Choke!

In that instant, the sound of swords rang out, shaking the heavens.

Qiu Mobai's killing intent was chilling...

Waaah, I'm stuck in fourth place on the monthly ticket ranking and can't climb up! I need a help! I'm all ready to pounce!
