Chapter 140: The Shock of Sword City
"How could he, a peak martial artist, break in? He was trapped in the seventh small formation and was finally rescued by his father."
Xiao Chen was completely aroused of interest and asked quickly: "What happened later?"
Afterwards, the boss was also confused and said, "I heard about what happened later. Leng Tianyue seemed to have made some mistakes. His father wanted to put him in jail, but as a result, he had his own cultivation and took the initiative to put him in the sword prison of the Tiandao Pavilion."
When Xiao Chenxin heard this news, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why Leng Tianyue had to put himself in the sword prison, it would be great if he didn't meet him.
Xiao Chen took the Yueying Knife and walked straight towards the Knife City. After a moment, he arrived at the city gate and began to pay the city tax. The way to pay the city tax here also surprised Xiao Chen.
The amount of tax is actually determined by the weight of the knife held by a warrior. No matter how many knife you have, no matter what quality you are, how much is added together, you will pay.
"The blade weighs 85 kilograms, and the scabbard is 70 kilograms, which adds up to 155 kilograms. Brother, you have to pay a silver tax of 1,155 kilograms of silver." The two warriors guarding the gate took off Xiao Chen's moon shadow knife from the scale and said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
Xiao Chen was sweating profusely. This was really expensive. When he saw a brother carrying seven long swords, he was even more depressed and was directly charged 10,000 yuan in Feng Wenxue. Fet two silvers.
However, the money that should be paid still has to be paid, and Xiao Chen had no choice. After paying the money, the gatekeeper asked Xiao Chen a few questions and recorded his hometown, name and age.
He handed Xiao Chen a form and said: "Down and go to apply for an identity card. In the future, you will not need to enter and exit the Daocheng with your identity card. You will pay the tax on entering the city again."
Xiao Chen smiled softly: "Fortunately, I don't charge every time, otherwise I will deduct all the property."
The processing of the identity card is relatively simple. After submitting the form, after waiting for half an hour, the other party sent a wooden card with Xiao Chen's information on the front, and a long knife and a mountain were engraved on the back.
Tied the wooden sign around her waist, Xiao Chen finally entered this world-famous sword city. In the streets in the city, there were densely filled with sword-wearing warriors.
You can see a ring every few hundred meters, and each ring is filled with people, which looks very lively. The martial arts style above Tianwu Great 6 has been swung to the extreme.
Except for the fact that there are many swordsmen and arenas, there is not much difference between swordsmen and other cities.
Xiao Chen asked the people about the place of the City Lord's Mansion and walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of the sword city was directly appointed by the Tiandao Pavilion, and managed the outer sect of the entire Tiandao Pavilion. The city lord's status in the sect is second only to those peak lords, and also has seats in the Presbyterian Church.
In front of the city lord's mansion, Xiao Chen handed the letter of recommendation from Feng Feixue to the guard in front of the door. The red letter of recommendation included the seal and clan emblem of the Feng family, as well as Feng Feixue's signature.
The guard had a good eye and quickly identified the authenticity of the recommendation letter. He asked Xiao Chen to wait for a while before he could inform him first.
Before long, the man ran over and smiled apologetically: "Brother, the city lord is meeting with a distinguished guest. You may have to wait a while longer. Let's go to the side hall with me to have a rest!"
The attitude of the City Lord's Mansion was very modest. Xiao Chen didn't think he was an important person. He smiled faintly and followed the person with a relaxed expression and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
After passing through several courtyards and gardens, Xiao Chen was taken to the side hall. The guard immediately said goodbye and left Xiao Chen alone here. After waiting for a long time.
In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ge Yunbin, the city lord of Daocheng, sat upright on a wooden chair, and an old man sat next to a tea table, looking at Xiao Chen's recommendation letter with a displeasure.
Behind them, a 16 or 17-year-old boy stood, with a knife on his back, a gloomy face, and a hint of hostility was seen in his eyes from time to time.
The old man put the recommendation letter on the table, looked at Ge Yunbin, and said in a deep voice: "I said Lao Ge, my relationship with you was already agreed a week ago, why did you change your mind temporarily?"
Ge Yunbin smiled faintly and said, "Old Zhang, don't make things difficult for me. You don't look at who gave me the recommendation letter. It contains Miss Feng's autograph. Miss Feng's face is not good!"
"Tiandao Pavilion and the Feng family have been working together for hundreds of years. The raw materials for the soul soldiers and armor in and outside the city are provided by them. The most important thing is that they have been dealing with the spirit stones produced by Tiandao Pavilion."
"The Feng family has the right to recommend someone here. It was not what I said, but what the former Pavilion Master said personally. Moreover, I owe Miss Feng a favor, so I happened to pay it back to her this time."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang flipped his hands and took out a jade bottle, gently opened the cap, and a strong fragrance of medicine spread out instantly. It was refreshing to smell it, and it was refreshing.
Ge Yunbin's face changed slightly and he asked, "Old Zhang, is this the Immortal Cloud Extended Shou Pill?"
Old Zhang's face showed a hint of arrogant expression, and he said lightly: "That's right, the seventh-grade immortal cloud longevity pill, a pill that can extend its lifespan for twenty years after taking it. I originally planned to give it to Mr. Ge after it was done."
Ge Yunbin smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhang, why are you doing this? With Ling Sun's qualifications, as long as he stays in the outer door for half a year, he will definitely have the opportunity to enter the inner door. And I will definitely take extra care of it. Spirit stones, elixirs and martial arts are absolutely indispensable."
Mr. Zhang glanced at the young man beside him and said, "No need to say more about Ye'er's qualifications, but half a year is too long. He has been delayed for sixteen years. I don't want him to delay any more."
Ge Yunbin stood up and began to walk back and forth in the living room. His face looked a little struggling. After a while, he finally made up his mind: "I think of a way to take a task to test this person first. If this person has no ability, he can't pass it, so he can put him in the outer door first."
"The quota in Tianyue Peak is left to the noble master. You can wait a moment!" After Ge Yunbin finished speaking, he walked towards the side hall.
After taking Ge Yunbin away, Old Zhang immediately got up and went outside the door, called an old man to call him, and told him about the matter.
Finally, he ordered: "I didn't expect any accident. Whether Zhang Ye can enter the inner gate of Tiandao Pavilion is related to the status of our Zhang family in Yunyang City for hundreds of years in the future."
"When that person comes out later, you can watch me. It would be fine if it is not completed. If it is completed, you should know what to do!"
The old man's cultivation has reached the level of a middle-grade martial master. After hearing this, he said lightly: "Please rest assured that there will be no mistakes in such a small matter."
In the side hall, just as Xiao Chen's patience completely disappeared, footsteps came, and the door of the side hall was opened. An old man in his seventies strode in, showing a strong momentum in his steps.
Xiao Chen detected his spiritual sense, but he could not feel the strength of this person. His spiritual sense seemed to have sunk into the vast ocean, which made people feel unfathomable and was surprised.
After seeing Xiao Chen, Ge Yunbin smiled softly and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm plagued by important things. I've been waiting for a long time. Don't mind."
While he was speaking, he also looked at Xiao Chen up and down, and his eyes shot on Xiao Chen's body. Xiao Chen felt as if he had been completely seen through and could not keep any secrets.
However, he was not panicked. He had just met a pseudo-saint, and his current scene was nothing compared to before.
Xiao Chen stood up and bowed and said respectfully: "I have met my senior, as a junior, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."
Ge Yunbin nodded secretly. Although he was only at the level of a top-grade martial artist, it was rare to be calm and polite under his own momentum.
Ge Yunbin raised his hand to signal Xiao Chen to sit down and said with a smile: "Old Ge Yunbin, if you don't dislike calling Ge Lao, you'll have no idea who your little brother's name is."
"Ye Chen, Ye Zi's Ye, Chen of the birth date and horoscope." Ye Chen is his current pseudonym. The name Xiao Chen is now wanted by the Yan family even in Xihe, so it is hard to use it directly.
After Ge Yunbin was polite again, he said, "Ye Chen, I have read Miss Feng's recommendation letter. I highly respect you in my words. I must give Miss Feng's face."
"But the inner gate of Tiandao Pavilion is the backbone of the entire Tiandao Pavilion and cannot be mixed with any water. I will eventually find out how strong you are."
Xiao Chen's thoughts turned sharply and he pondered: "Old Ge doesn't say anything, Ye Chen is definitely not a pretentious person."
Ge Yunbin was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't had a junior. If you dare to talk to me like this, then I'll just say it, I'll give you a task."
"If you pass, I will give you a chance to go directly into the inner door. If you can't pass, go to the outer door to practice first, and then talk about it. How about it?"
Xiao Chen didn't think much about it. He missed the opportunity to recruit the inner door and planned to enter the Tiandao Pavilion through the outer door. It was just that with Feng Feixue's recommendation letter, he had the opportunity now. In fact, there was no loss if he couldn't pass it.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Chen directly agreed to his request in Ge Yunbin's somewhat unexpected gaze, without bargaining at all.
Ge Yunbin smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you have such a mentality, but I hope you are not careless. The difficulty of the task I give you is the same as the year-end assessment of the outer disciples. The back door I opened for you is just to save you half a year."
"In Yinfeng Valley outside the city, a fifth-level spirit beast was killed at will. In order to prevent cheating, the corpse of the spirit beast must be brought back directly, and I will personally inspect it."
After Ge Yunbin said that, he handed Xiao Chen some information about Yinfeng Valley. Xiao Chen took it and did not go to see it on the spot. He said goodbye and left the city lord's mansion.
After finding a residence in the Knife City, Xiao Chen began to carefully observe the information handed over by Ge Yunbin.
Yinfeng Valley is located on the west side of the sword city. It is extremely cold inside. Most of the spirit beasts are ice-related and are the places where outer disciples usually experience it.
The fifth-level spirit beast is equivalent to the strength of a human martial master. In addition to being slightly lower than that of humans in terms of wisdom and flexibility, its pure power is only higher than that of humans.
