Chapter 500 The Arrogant Ninglu Sect!
At the Youshui Waterfall.
The surrounding mountains and forests are deep and lush, with ancient trees reaching for the sky.
The air was humid and crisp, and the vegetation was covered with a thin layer of moisture.
A river flows from deep within the dense forest, and because it is downhill and has no bends, the current is rapid.
It was like a ferocious beast that devoured everything.
When you reach the cliff, it suddenly plunges down.
It transformed into a secluded waterfall that cascaded down.
The sound of the waterfall is deep and slow, unlike the usual noisy waterfalls, before disappearing into the forest mist, quiet and lingering.
Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Zhang Xuanchen couldn't help but murmur:
"A waterfall cascades down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven."
Upon hearing this, Shuoxing's eyes lit up:
"Xuan Chen, you can also write poetry?"
If I heard correctly, this should only be half a poem, right?
Hearing Shuoxing's words, Zhang Xuanchen nodded and smiled:
"Indeed, it's only half of it, and the second half at that."
The first half reads: "Sunlight shines on the incense burner, creating purple smoke; from afar, the waterfall hangs like a curtain before the river."
As Zhang Xuanchen recited this line of poetry, he silently apologized to Li Bai.
There's nothing I can do; after so many years, I've basically forgotten everything I learned in my previous life.
I still remember some simple poems.
Shuoxing murmured the two lines of poetry softly, his eyes revealing admiration.
"What a beautiful poem!"
Even if this poem were placed in ancient times, during the flourishing of Confucianism and Taoism, it would still be considered a top-notch masterpiece.
Even the Confucian and Taoist sages who attained sainthood through literature at that time would have found it difficult to create such a masterpiece.
Xuan Chen is truly a genius!
This is the truth.
Unfortunately, in the late ancient period, many Confucian and Taoist classics were misinterpreted by scholars and used as tools to gain status, accumulate wealth, and control the masses.
A saying even circulated:
The most righteous are often the lowly butchers, while the most ungrateful are often the scholars!
Not long after this aphorism was circulated, the literary tradition was destroyed by a group of emperors working together.
They massacred Confucian and Taoist sages.
They carried out the act of burning books and burying scholars alive.
Later generations have offered mixed reviews of this.
It was at that time that literature and the Way completely disappeared into the long river of history.
Hearing Shuoxing's praise, Zhang Xuanchen felt a little ashamed, but he didn't say anything more.
After all, the world of this dimension doesn't have Tang and Song poetry.
There is no need to worry about exposure.
"Brother Shuoxing, you flatter me."
In today's cultivation world, poetry and prose, if not linked to cultivation level, are considered minor skills.
As soon as he finished speaking, a spirit sword rose up beneath his feet.
We arrived at the cliff edge of the waterfall.
After pretending to explore for a while, they arrived at the location marked by the Immortal Fate Information Center.
His body was enveloped in spiritual energy.
A layer of golden dragon scales appeared on his right arm.
It transformed into a golden ray of light, rushing towards the cliff behind the waterfall.
He threw a punch.
With a loud crash, the cliff collapsed, and Zhang Xuanchen was thrown into a dark cave.
The expected dampness did not materialize in the cave.
On the contrary, the cave was very dry and had a rich concentration of spiritual energy.
The cave is not deep and poses no danger.
After walking about a hundred meters deeper, an ancient stone cabinet came into view.
Upon seeing this, Xuanjing was the first to jump out.
After examining the ancient books and prescriptions on the stone table, he smiled smugly: "Brother Shuoxing, look."
These are all prescriptions for alchemy, and none of them have been heard of by outsiders.
I'm right.
Brother Chen possesses the constitution to sense the destiny of immortals.
Shuoxing carefully flipped through the ancient book of prescriptions.
He closed his eyes again and sensed his surroundings once more.
I was utterly horrified!
He had seen physiques capable of sensing rare and precious materials.
For example, a treasure-hunting spirit!
Spiritual beings!
Those with certain physical constitutions can keenly perceive rare and precious natural treasures that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
This type of physique is not strong.
Because there is a prerequisite for them to perceive rare and precious materials, which is the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the rare and precious materials.
Or it could be perceived by one's five senses.
For example, hearing and smell.
These ancient books, classics, and prescriptions contained absolutely no spiritual energy fluctuations.
Zhang Xuanchen sensed all of this!
What kind of power is this?
The power of rules?
No, even the power of rules doesn't have that kind of power!
Even an emperor doesn't have this kind of ability!
This was beyond what he could imagine.
He was certain that Zhang Xuanchen had a secret.
This secret is enough to overturn the entire world!
It must be said that, although Xuanjing's realm at its peak was higher than Shuoxing's.
However, in terms of knowledge and experience, he is far inferior to Shuo Xing.
At the very least, when Xuanjing realized that Zhang Xuanchen had this ability, he didn't think too much about it or consider these things.
It might be due to his personality.
One who is carefree and innocent.
A person with a delicate mind and clear, insightful perspective.
However, he did not voice his thoughts.
Some things are better left unsaid; saying them aloud changes their meaning.
Smiling, he looked at Xuanjing and said:
"Xuanjing is right."
Shuoxing admired him.
As he spoke, Shuoxing bowed to Xuanjing.
Zhang Xuanchen noticed Shuoxing's state and knew in his heart that he had realized something.
If all that can be found are spiritual medicines, it can be attributed to the individual possessing a special spiritual body.
However, these ancient medical texts and prescriptions clearly lack any spiritual energy or other characteristics, which is why they can be found.
He didn't believe that Shuoxing couldn't see anything.
However, he was not afraid that Shuoxing might have any bad intentions. Once the recognition of the master was successful, they would share both glory and loss.
Zhang Xuanchen stepped forward, collected all the ancient books and prescriptions on the stone table into his Myriad Spirits Ring, and then walked out of the stone cave behind the waterfall.
Heading towards the Star Temple.
[Immortal Fate Information (Category 1): In the cave dwelling of True Immortal Zhuifeng, there is a pair of damaged fourth-grade low-rank Zhuifeng Cloud-Treading Boots.]
It can be obtained within thirteen days.
Repairing it and wearing it will increase your speed by 10%.
To be honest, Zhang Xuanchen was somewhat tempted by these shoes, but their location was opposite to that of the Star Temple.
It will take twenty days to go back and forth.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Xuanchen decided to give up the Wind Chasing and Cloud Stepping Boots.
There are two reasons.
First, they are in opposite positions.
Secondly, second-hand or even third-hand boots may cause athlete's foot if worn.
……
at the same time.
Ziyun Mountain Range.
Zhang Zujun, clad in a high-grade third-tier armor, faced the combined attack of two early-stage Golden Core cultivators and one mid-stage Golden Core cultivator all by himself.
Bang bang bang!
The four fought fiercely in the air, with various spells exploding in the sky!
It creates a dazzling display of fireworks.
One of the women, dressed in a blue robe and enveloped in water-attribute spiritual energy, looked at Zhang Zujun and said:
"Master Tianhuo, give up resisting."
They actually thought that if the snipe and the clam fought, the fisherman would benefit.
The commotion caused by my Ninglu Sect's battle with that beast has been noticed by many forces.
I know it better than anyone else.
Therefore, we made preparations in advance and released the news of our cooperation with the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.
This dispelled the ideas of many factions vying for the opportunity.
But you, Zhang family, are stubborn.
They just had to run into it.
What's wrong?
Is this Radiant Sword Leaf Grass very important to your Zhang family?
Indeed, your Zhang family has established itself through swordsmanship.
This Radiant Sword Leaf Grass might just give your Zhang family another sword cultivator who has mastered the perfect sword intent.
It's a pity about you guys!
I can't have it!
Isn't the Zhang family supposed to have five Golden Core cultivators?
Why are you all alone now?
"Could it be?" The woman in blue robes had a smug and mocking smile on her face.
"Zhang Chongxian disliked you tired clansmen and eloped with that female cultivator."
And what about Luo Lingshuang, the Nascent Soul stage disciple of the Nine Hua Sword Sect? Why hasn't she appeared yet? Did she find the Zhang family too weak and break off her engagement with the Zhang family patriarch?
what?
Hahaha!
It seems that the seemingly powerful Zhang family is actually nothing more than a disorganized mess.
It looks nice but is useless.
This is how you dare to compete with my Ninglu Sect for the Radiant Sword Leaf Grass!
You don't deserve it!
"If we kill you, we will surely raze the Zhang family to the ground. The Azure Sea Immortal Sect and the Zhang family's wealth will all belong to our Ninglu Sect!"
