Chapter 38: Understanding the Dao of the Sword

Alas, I don’t know who is behind that person and how he offended the blue-striped dragon.

With the support of the Black Tiger Gang, the overlord of Huangshi Town,

I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in the town from now on! It's a pity to lose such a big business. I think that person can come up with a lot of money.

After the blue-striped dragon left, the Zhang family's shopkeeper sighed as he watched Wang Xiaoshi leave.

"During this period, the two major forces were at loggerheads, and conflicts in the streets and alleys increased, causing all businesses to decline. Although a lot of injured people were found, the demand for medicinal materials increased sharply. However, on the one hand, the medicinal materials handed over to the Black Tiger Gang were almost given away for free and could not even recover the cost. The people from the Weilong Martial Arts School, which was connected to the Sifang Society, refused to sell them."

“Business is hard”

The Zhang family's shopkeeper sighed in a low voice.

When the big powers above them clash and fight, the ones who suffer the most are the common people at the bottom who are struggling to survive.

Their pharmacy is ok.

Still able to survive a little.

The common people at the bottom of society who can barely even afford to eat are truly miserable.

I'm afraid these days,

The number of people who died of starvation in the city's stinking ditches was several times greater than the number of people killed in the fight between the two major forces! Shaking his head, the shopkeeper turned around and returned to the counter with his hands behind his back.

one way or another,

Life goes on.

"What? Ten times the price?!"

In the yard, Yang Qingyun, who had just finished practicing a set of boxing and was full of energy, was stunned when he heard the report from Wang Xiaoshi, who had only brought back a few medicinal herbs. He turned around and looked over with a look of confusion on his face.

"Yes, in every pharmacy I went to, the shopkeeper said that the streets are now in chaos because of the conflict between the Weilong Martial Arts School and the Black Tiger Gang. There are big fights every three days and small fights every two days. Their supply channels are in big trouble, so they can only raise prices."

"I dare not act on my own, and considering that it will delay your practice, I can only select a small amount of medicinal herbs and bring them back. I plan to ask you for your instructions before deciding whether to purchase them in large quantities."

Wang Xiaoshi showed a bitter look on his face. He picked up the few medicine bags in his hand and showed them to Yang Qingyun.

"Sir, I'm afraid that it's not just the herbs that are going up in price, I'm afraid that even charcoal, firewood, rice, oil, and salt will go up in price next!"

"It's normal for prices to go up. After all, there are so many chaos out there. It would be strange if prices didn't go up."

"But the price has increased tenfold?"

"Humph! There must be something wrong here!"

Yang Qingyun snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves.

I immediately realized that someone must be behind this! Although there was a conflict between two major forces in Huangshi Town, the price could not have skyrocketed to such an outrageous level!

Someone is targeting me! It 's probably the Black Tiger Gang.

Only the Black Tiger Gang in Huangshi Town has such great power!

perhaps,

Was it because he had a close relationship with the Weilong Martial Arts School that he became the target of the Black Tiger Gang's attack?

Or maybe, he had offended someone in the Black Tiger Gang!

In Yang Qingyun's mind,

Suddenly, a Black Tiger Gang leader with a blue dragon tattoo on his forehead flashed by. Blue Dragon! If he had ever had a conflict with anyone from the Black Tiger Gang,

Then it can only be him!

"You better pray I don't catch you!"

It's most likely a blue-striped dragon.

A flash of murderous intent flashed across Yang Qingyun's eyes.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Wang Xiaoshi asked carefully from the side, with a respectful look and a gesture of submission.

Although Yang Qingyun usually behaves very calmly and will not punish anyone for even the smallest mistake.

However, many years of experience as a handyman in a martial arts school had made Wang Xiaoshi cautious and respectful towards important people.

Especially in his understanding, being around such a strong person, he has to be more careful.

Wang Xiaoshi didn't want to lose the opportunity to follow him and receive guidance from such a strong man because of his own mistakes!

These days, with the guidance of Yang Qingyun, he has successfully entered the country through the use of medicinal baths.

This was an achievement he had not been able to achieve even after working as a handyman in a martial arts gym for several years! Wang Xiaoshi knew very well that

What an opportunity it is for me to be with Young Master Yang!

If he lost such an opportunity because he overstepped his bounds or messed something up, he would be so heartbroken that he would beat his chest and stamp his feet.

Yang Qingyun naturally had no idea what Wang Xiaoshi was thinking.

He pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Ten times the price, forget it."

His money didn't come from the wind. Even if he knew there was a pit ahead, he wouldn't be stupid enough to jump in.

"Go ask Master Zhou if you can use their martial arts school's channels to purchase herbs. Well, I don't know if Master Zhou has time during this period, so you should send me a visiting card first, and I will visit you in person on a chosen day."

After thinking for a while, Yang Qingyun spoke.

The matter of medicinal materials is related to one's own martial arts path.

It's a bit troublesome, but there's nothing we can do about it.

"Black Tiger Gang"

A gloomy look flashed across Yang Qingyun's eyes.

He suffered an innocent misfortune and had his plans for cultivation interrupted, and he felt a little angry.

But he was not blinded by anger.

Three lives as a human being,

It was enough to keep him in control of his emotions.

"Since I can't continue to temper my blood and improve my cultivation, I'll just try to comprehend the sword will attached to that fragment. I originally thought I'd comprehend it after I break through the Body Tempering Stage."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yang Qingyun let out a long sigh and could only modify his subsequent plans.

After Wang Xiaoshi left, Yang Qingyun returned to the study, took out the jade box from the cabinet under the desk, and walked to the meditation practice room.

Yang Qingyun sat cross-legged on the cushion in the training room, placed the jade box in front of him, and slowly opened it.

Revealing black fragments covered with a long silk cloth.

The moment Yang Qingyun lifted the long silk cloth, it seemed as if a white light lit up and spread out like a substance!

In the air,

There seemed to be a dazzling knife light blooming faintly, and the air seemed to be filled with countless tiny needles, causing Yang Qingyun's skin to feel a tingling sensation as if it were real! "Every time I see it, I feel incredible!"

Yang Qingyun sat cross-legged on the cushion, looking at the black fragments in front of him, feeling the sharp will floating in the air, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then,

He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, raising his mind to the peak.

Soon,

His eyes focused on the lines on the fragments.

With his gaze,

At this moment, the inexplicable lines on the black fragments seemed to come alive, twisting and turning, giving people an infinite reverie and infinite mystery! In a trance,

A brilliant blade light suddenly lit up in his sight, suddenly shattering the heaven and earth, leaping out from the boundless illusion, and slashing at him with the power to destroy the heaven and earth! A great fear rose in Yang Qingyun's mind.

It seemed as if death was approaching at this moment!

The whole person's figure involuntarily retreated backwards.

As a result, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Yang Qingyun woke up instantly, and his clothes behind him were already wet with cold sweat.

The illusions around me disappear.

The familiar scenes around him came into view. Where was the sword light that could destroy the world? Only the black fragment was quietly placed on the jade box, as if mocking Yang Qingyun's cowardice.

Yang Qingyun didn't care.

Instead, he closed his eyes, carefully recalling the sword light that had shattered the sky and earth, as if it had leaped out from an illusion.

"What a terrifying sword art! Just a trace of breath left behind has such terrifying power."

"However, you are nothing more than a wisp of contaminated Qi, and have long been a rootless duckweed. Just become the whetstone for my sword path!"

Yang Qingyun gritted his teeth, his expression determined.

Close your eyes and sink your mind into the depths.

Summon the sword power cultivated from your practice of sword drawing techniques to fight against it!

Although the sword of Yang Qingyun's mind, which embodies his unstoppable momentum, is very weak compared to the residual aura of the supreme swordsman left on this fragment.

In just one encounter, the former was defeated! But Yang Qingyun was not discouraged at all.

He closed his eyes.

Feel it carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, he once again gathered the strength in his heart and re-condensed his sword, and also added some of the insights from his previous failure and defeat.

Then he challenged the opponent again, and the result was still self-evident.

Although he was defeated in an instant, Yang Qingyun was not discouraged at all.

After thirty years of hardship in his previous life, what he lacked the most was the perseverance to practice again and again even if he didn't see any progress! Yang Qingyun once again gathered the sword in his heart to fight against it!

Fighting again and again, being crushed and defeated again and again!

But also in this process,

Yang Qingyun's sword skills are improving rapidly!

After repeated sharpening and honing, he gradually and thoroughly mastered the sword that was nurtured in the depths of his mind, and used it as a bridge to enter the next realm of the sword. (End of this chapter)
