Chapter 255 Tudan
"A rare commodity? Or is it just sitting in a well and looking at the world?"
This was Zhang Yang's first thought, because he himself did not think that his ordinary sword technique was so precious. After all, he had a set of mysterious sword techniques and three sets of ordinary sword techniques.
So he was really surprised by the big man's tone.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yang pretended to hesitate for a moment before he said, "If your village really wants this incomplete sword energy, I certainly won't refuse. As for the position of village elder, forget it. As long as I can stay here temporarily, it will be fine. Besides, I am a foreigner after all, and there are many things I don't understand--"
"That's absolutely no problem. If you have any questions, little brother, just ask. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Niu Jiao, the village chief of Heiniu Village. What's your name, brother?" The big man said enthusiastically.
"So you are the village chief of Niujiao. I've heard a lot about you. My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Jiao." Zhang Yang also pretended to be enthusiastic in introducing himself. He would not say his real name. After all, this is a world of immortals with infinite possibilities.
"Brother Zhang Jiao, is your injury serious? Although our village is remote and we don't have many healing elixirs, we do have some local specialties that have a decent effect after taking them."
As the ox horn spoke, he carefully took out a black thing that looked like a lion's head, which looked very precious.
Although Zhang Yang was disgusted, he still took it. He was surprised when he smelled it, but he was not amazed by the smell, but a line of information suddenly jumped out in front of his eyes.
"Obtaining the exotic earth pill from the Xianxia world shows that, although this pill is made of earth, the effect is not inferior to ordinary elixirs because the materials used are extremely precious."
"Thank you so much, Niu Jiao Village Chief!"
Zhang Yang spoke very sincerely this time because the other party showed great sincerity.
But he still didn't quite understand why Niu Jiao valued a mere ordinary and incomplete sword move so much? However, at this time, he could only suppress this doubt in his heart.
At that moment, Zhang Yang did not hesitate and ate the earth pill that looked like a lion's head. It tasted quite good.
Soon after taking the earth pill, he heard a gurgling sound in his stomach and a stream of boiling heat was generated automatically, quickly repairing Zhang Yang's damaged organs and vitality.
In just a short while, Zhang Yang's previous injuries were miraculously healed, and he even gained an extra five years of life.
This earth pill is too magical! Seeing Zhang Yang's complexion recover, the village chief Niujiao smiled and said, "This earth pill is a specialty of my Black Bull Village. The most important ingredient is the saliva of the black longhorn beetle. This thing is the most tonic and has the effect of prolonging life."
"But the effect is best after the first dose, which generally increases lifespan by three to five years. If you take it again, it will only have a healing effect."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang naturally understood what the Niu Jiao village chief meant, and immediately said: "Since my injury has recovered, I will teach the ordinary sword move to the village chief, but I must make it clear in advance that I have not fully mastered this sword move myself."
"Hehe! Brother Zhang, don't worry about this. The young men in my Black Bull Village are all very strong and are never afraid of being injured. The only thing they lack is ordinary sword techniques."
"The village chief doesn't practice?" Zhang Yang was surprised.
"I don't need it. To be honest, at my age now, I don't think highly of this incomplete sword move. What really needs to be practiced are the ten young men selected from the Black Bull Village to see if they can become sword cultivators by practicing this sword move."
At this point, the village chief of Niu Jiao gave a shrewd chuckle.
Zhang Yang understood it immediately, this is just like the reserve of knowledge.
In fact, Heiniu Village is not short of magic skills that are more powerful than the Jiuchongshan Sword Force, but as a village, if it wants to survive in this cruel world, it cannot just rely on its past achievements.
Seizing every opportunity to enrich the village's reserves of martial arts and sword techniques is also to reserve different types of talents.
This can explain why Niu Jiao Village Chief attaches so much importance to it.
This is true for a village, and even more so for a sect of immortal cultivation. One cannot just rely on one martial art to maintain its reputation.
Zhang Yang suddenly felt that his mission of building a fairy village was very difficult, but fortunately he had enough time.
With a slight smile, Zhang Yang was very sensible and did not ask how many martial arts techniques the Heiniu Village had in stock. He followed the village chief Niu Jiao to another more spacious courtyard, where ten young men from the Heiniu Village had been waiting for a long time.
In addition, there is a reward of one thousand fairy stones, and the village chief of Niu Jiao is very trusted.
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate, put away the immortal stones, and evolved the Nine-Layered Mountain Sword Style once again.
As expected, the ten teenagers were confused.
So Zhang Yang patiently broke down the sword techniques and gave them the San Chai sword technique for free. In short, he allowed them to perform it in a seemingly realistic way and with a certain degree of power.
"They lack the sword spirit, so they are similar in form but not in spirit."
"As for how to obtain the sword spirit, this is not something that can be taught. The incomplete sword force I obtained is called Nine-Layered Mountain, but I have never been able to comprehend its charm and connotation until I went through more than ten years and experienced countless high mountains and steep ridges. One morning, I suddenly understood it."
"For them, ordinary sword techniques are too advanced. I will first teach them a set of basic sword techniques for free, and then it will depend on whether they have the talent and perseverance to do it."
What Zhang Yang said was basically the truth, except for covering up the fact that he already possessed the nine heavenly veins for sword cultivators.
However, if these ten young men really do as he says, as long as they have talent and perseverance, they can really practice this Nine-Layer Mountain Sword Style.
The Niu Jiao village chief had no doubts, but just hoped that he could give more guidance in his spare time.
Zhang Yang naturally agreed, and he lived in the courtyard at that moment. The village chief of Niu Jiao sent an old man to answer his questions.
But even though Zhang Yang had many doubts at this moment, he did not intend to ask directly.
Behaviors like asking anyone what year or month it is are all sowing the seeds of disaster for yourself.
So Zhang Yang asked about the geography of the nearby mountains and rivers, as well as what major forces there were, what the Sleepless Night was, who was the Black Mountain Lord, etc.
The old man answered every question.
According to him, the surrounding 500 miles belong to Heiniu Village, but above Heiniu Village is Heishan City.
This is a city that governs thousands of miles, and the city lord is called Heishan Jun.
Within the jurisdiction of Black Mountain City, there are many villages like Heiniu Village. They all need to pay taxes to Black Mountain City and offer sacrifices every three years in order to maintain peace.
When Zhang Yang asked whether there were protectors in Black Mountain City, the old man showed a look of longing.
"Yes, although Black Mountain City is a tyrant within a thousand miles, it actually relies on a sect of immortal cultivators to survive. Unfortunately, we peasants have no chance to cultivate immortals."
Zhang Yang was silent, feeling a great deal of pressure. After all, he also wanted to establish a sect of immortal cultivation.
"What's with the sleepless night?"
"There are five days in a day. The day is the sun and the night is the moon. After 330 days of alternation between yin and yang, three bloody suns will rise. At that time, hundreds of ghosts will roam at night, thousands of demons will cross the border, and monsters will run rampant for a whole month. This is the sleepless night. So at that time, no matter whether it is a city or a village, the city gates will be closed and the ancient formation will be opened in order to survive the disaster."
"And at this time, only the immortal cultivation sects have the strength to travel outside."
