Chapter 108 Restricted magic weapon, Shadow Moon Blade!
The voice like a loud bell stopped everyone from talking.
"As everyone knows, three hundred years ago, Hong'an Street in Youling City was surrounded by a dark yellow gas called mirage overnight. Almost everyone on Hong'an Street died that night, and the mirage has remained ever since, emitting every night."
Everyone nodded.
Three hundred years is neither long nor short, but most of the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage know about this.
After all, the tragic situation in Hong'an Street at that time shocked everyone in Youling City.
"After that, several of our major families, the City Lord's Mansion, and other righteous monks went to Hong'an Street to investigate, but found nothing and suffered countless losses. Three years later, Hong'an Street was completely abandoned. As time passed, Hong'an Street became a mysterious rumor in Youling City."
Speaking of mysterious rumors, someone whispered: "The source of the mirage in Hong'an Street is the corpse of an insect beast, and there is also a corpse of a spirit beast in the depths of the Fierce Wind Forest. Two of the three major rumors in Youling City are caused by the corpses of beasts..."
This is really sad.
Unexpectedly, two of the three major rumors were about animal corpses.
Now that the two major rumors have been unveiled, only the last one remains.
Zhu Xin listened to Li Shiqian's explanation and asked curiously, "What about the third mysterious rumor?"
"I don't know either." Li Shiqian shook her head.
She was not a casual cultivator in Youling City before, but just passed by here with her Taoist partner to rest for a while.
After all, her spiritual roots are not suitable for Youling City, where the fire spirit is so strong.
"Could the third rumor also be an animal corpse?" Zhu Xin guessed.
"It's possible, and it would be very interesting if that were the case."
The three mysterious rumors in Youling City all turned out to be from the corpses of animals. If I tell them to others, I'm afraid they will make people laugh.
The monk next to him happened to hear it and sneered.
"impossible!"
Li Shiqian looked over and saw that the cultivator was at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Although, one level lower than her, she could tell that his aura was strong and full, so he should be able to advance soon.
No wonder she is so weak.
"Why not? Do you know the truth about the third rumor?"
"No, but you wouldn't say that if you knew what the third rumor was."
"What is it?"
The monk obviously knew something.
Compared to the other two rumors, the third one seems to be much more mysterious.
In other words, it is kept secret.
She has been in Youling City for twenty years. Although she has always been working as a cook for Tao Lingwan, she will occasionally come out to listen to what others think of her dishes. Naturally, this mysterious rumor has been mentioned countless times.
But every time people talked about the third rumor, they tacitly stopped talking about it.
The only thing she knew was that the third rumor only began to spread slowly fifty years ago.
The time is the shortest, but the most taboo.
She and Qiu Qian had mentioned this before, and both were very curious about what this third rumor was.
Above, the voice continued to enter the minds of everyone on Hong'an Street.
"...Just a while ago, the mirage on Hong'an Street was finally resolved. I think you must be very curious about who resolved the mirage. It was the manager of the Hong'an Street Grocery Store, Xu Qiuqian!"
"Xu Qiuqian? Who is that?"
"Could it be that this grocery store is the one that organized this competition event together with several major families? I heard that he was a mortal! A mortal solved the mirage? Are you kidding me!"
"That's right. So many cultivators fought hard and their cultivation bases were damaged, but the problem was not solved. How could it be solved by a mortal?"
"But think about it, it's not impossible. After all, the mirage has no effect on mortals..."
"Back then, several major families also looked for mortals, but in the end, they still found nothing!"
"Some time ago, disciples from Wen Ji Sect came here, including Jin Dan Zhenren."
"Needless to say, it must have been solved by Jindan Zhenren!"
Everyone nodded when they heard this. If a mortal could solve one of the three major rumors, wouldn't it be a clear statement that the monks in Youling City were incompetent and couldn't even compare to a mortal? How is that possible!
"Why did the people from those big families say that she solved it?"
"Of course, it's to honor her!"
"Why would the status of several major families elevate a mortal?"
"this……"
Li Shiqian sneered: "You can't find a reason to make excuses for your incompetence, right? Useless is useless. Even if you have spiritual roots and can practice, you are still a waste!"
"What did you say?!"
The monk suddenly became anxious.
"I said, you are a waste, don't you understand? I can repeat it again, waste, waste! You are not even as good as a mortal, what else can you be but a waste?"
"You..." The cultivator was furious, but he didn't dare to attack because Li Shiqian's cultivation was higher than his. A trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes, and he said coldly: "According to what you said, all the cultivators in Youling City are useless?"
"I didn't say that." Li Shiqian is not stupid.
If she admitted it, wouldn't that put her at odds with all the cultivators in Youling City and also draw hatred from Qiu Qian? "I'm just saying that people who have no ability, but refuse to admit that they have no ability, and look down on ordinary people are trash, like you. Do you understand what I mean?"
The monk had long been blinded by anger, and when he heard this he felt that Li Shiqian was provoking him.
The others were also a little surprised. After all, what Li Shiqian said just now did have a hidden meaning, and they also believed that as a mortal, Xu Qiuqian could not be the one to find the source of the mirage.
“Is it difficult to admit that others are better than you?”
Li Shiqian's expression was cold, but there was disappointment in her eyes.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the strong are respected, but everyone's understanding of strength seems to be different from her understanding of strength.
They think that a high level of cultivation means strength. Indeed, a high level of cultivation means strength, but this does not mean a low level of cultivation means weakness. If one can do something that a cultivator with a low level of cultivation or even a mortal body cannot do, doesn't it further prove that this person is strong?
It’s a pity that nowadays cultivators seem to only know how to practice and only focus on their cultivation level.
She was disappointed and said nothing more.
But her words were inevitably remembered by people. Everyone looked up at the woman wearing a veil on her head and a blue dress. She stood there quietly, and people from several major families were very friendly to her.
The intimacy was genuine, which showed that the relationship between the woman and the major families was better than they imagined.
Is it difficult to admit that others are better than you?
Li Shiqian's words once again appeared in everyone's mind.
But this time, everyone was unusually silent.
a long time.
"Perhaps, she does have some extraordinary qualities." A monk said.
But most cultivators still feel that even if they have extraordinary qualities, they are not powerful enough to find the source of the mirage by themselves.
It should be the Jindan Zhenren from Wen Ji Sect who discovered most of the truth, 99% of it, and the last bit was discovered by her.
At this time, Chen Zhuo, the head of the Chen family, spoke.
"The Hong'an Street Tournament has officially begun!"
"On the first day of restricted fighting, the restrictions are: magic weapon, Shadow Moon Blade! Provider: Xu Qiuqian from Hong'an Street Grocery Store!"
