The following day, September 3rd.
morning.
Gao Yan received a call from Liu Yun.
Inside a tea restaurant near the school.
Gao Yan glanced at Liu Yun and smiled, "Congratulations, your cultivation has improved quite a bit!"
"Hehe, it's nothing to mention. Second Master just gave me a few bottles of medicinal wine!" Liu Yun laughed, then took out a note and handed it to Gao Yan.
"What's this?"
Gao Yan asked.
"This is an invitation!"
Liu Yun explained, "I don't know if you've ever heard of a martial arts exchange conference?"
"Never heard of it!"
Gao Yan shook his head; he was never a proper martial arts practitioner.
Liu Yun, who was also familiar with Gao Yan's situation, explained, "This martial arts exchange conference is held every ten years, and it is hosted by the martial arts world of the South and the martial arts world of the North on a rotating basis. This year it is the South's turn to host it, and the invitation letter lists the time and address!"
Gao Yan opened the invitation and saw that the dates were from October 1st to October 7th, and the address was Red Leaf Villa in Nanzesu City.
What exactly is the situation with this martial arts exchange tournament?
Gao Yan asked with some curiosity.
Liu Yun explained, "For the first five days, martial arts masters will share their training experience every day, and each session will invite a Dan Jin martial artist to share their experience."
The last one was Jiang Yanwang.
It's rumored that two Dan Jin (a high-level martial arts expert) will be attending this year's competition: Chen Yujiang (known as Chen Wudi) and Su Xiaoxiao (known as Suomingjiao). Therefore, invitations are extremely sought after!
After a pause, Liu Yun continued, "The sixth and seventh days are the martial arts competitions. Of course, they are all between juniors, and anyone under the age of thirty can participate."
If you can stand out, you will not only make a name for yourself in the martial arts world, but also receive rewards and guidance from a Grandmaster of Dan Jin. Aren't you and that Poison Widow on good terms?
Back then, her deceased husband won first place in the martial arts exchange tournament. It's a pity he died so young; with his talent, he might have already advanced to the late stage of the Transformation Realm.
At this point, Liu Yun looked at Gao Yan with some envy: "If Mr. Gao were willing to participate, with your strength, you would definitely win first place and become famous throughout the martial arts world!"
"never mind!"
Gao Yan waved his hand dismissively: "I don't need such empty fame!"
"Indeed, your master is a Dan Jin!"
Liu Yun was even more envious: "However, Mr. Gao, I still suggest you participate. Perhaps you don't need a Grandmaster of Dan Jin to guide you, but I heard that the prize this time is a divine weapon forged from meteorite iron!"
"Divine weapons?"
Gao Yan was somewhat surprised: "What exactly is the situation?"
"I don't know exactly what kind of divine weapon it is!"
Liu Yun shook his head: "However, I heard that this divine weapon was created by the famous weapon master Ou Lao over eight years. Someone once offered 1 billion, but they couldn't get it!"
"Since someone offered a billion and still couldn't win it, why use it as a prize?" Gao Yan asked.
Liu Yun said, "Because the martial arts exchange conference is being hosted by the three super martial arts families in the south, I guess they promised some conditions that Elder Ou couldn't refuse!"
"What's the deal with 'super martial arts families'?"
A bold question.
Liu Yun explained: "Martial arts families are also divided into strong and weak. Generally speaking, as long as there is a master of the Transformation Realm, they can be called a martial arts family. However, this type is just an ordinary martial arts family."
A family with more than three Transformation Realm martial artists can be called a top-tier martial arts family.
As for super martial arts families, they must have at least eight Transformation Realm martial artists, and at the same time, three of them must be at the peak of the Transformation Realm, to qualify as a super martial arts family!
"I see!"
Gao Yan suddenly realized: "Then how many super martial arts families does our Great Xia have?"
Liu Yun said, "Not many. There are three in the south and two in the north. The three martial arts families in the south are the Nangong, Dongfang, and Dong families, while the two martial arts families in the north are the Ouyang and Lü families. These super martial arts families are all families with extremely deep foundations. Not only are their wealth astonishing, but their connections are also incredibly extensive. Take the Ouyang family for example, their family wealth is at least several trillion, they have more than ten Transformation Realm martial artists, and more than a hundred Dark Realm martial artists. In addition, there are many people from the Ouyang family in the military!"
Before this, Gao Yan was secretly pleased with his trillions of dollars in wealth. Now it seems that the world is more complicated than he imagined.
Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Don't super martial arts families have any Dan Jin martial artists?"
Liu Yun smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, saying, "It is said that there are none, but I estimate that they are. After all, the destructive power of a Dan Jin Grandmaster is too strong, and they are easily feared. Even if there are, they will hide them!"
Take the five major Dan Jin sects that are openly recognized in our Great Xia Dynasty, for example; none of them have established martial arts families.
Is it that they are unwilling?
Of course not.
Because they already possess immense power, if they were to establish a martial arts family, and it grew too powerful, they would either become subjects of the state or relocate their entire clan overseas!
Therefore, even if a super martial arts family produces someone with the Dan Jin skill, they must hide it and dare not show themselves easily.
As far as I know, ten years ago, a member of the Ouyang family who was at the peak of the Transformation Realm died suddenly.
The possibility of him dying suddenly is actually unlikely, because he is only in his early fifties. It is very likely that he has broken through to the Dan Jin level and was thus hidden away!
Other super martial arts families also have many masters of the Transformation Realm who died suddenly. Therefore, if I'm not mistaken, all five super martial arts families possess members of the Core Formation Realm, and possibly more than one.
"Don't they know?"
Gao Yan asked.
"They should know, but since they have all hidden their inner strength and haven't shown it to the world, the higher-ups can tolerate it. But if it's exposed, I'm afraid the higher-ups won't just sit idly by!"
