Meeting old friends

The attic on the third floor of Jiang's Mansion Ship is quite spacious and spacious inside. The curtains all around are hung with colorful and luxurious silks and satins. Small and light golden bells are embellished on the window strings. When the breeze blows, it is crisp and sweet. The sound of bells.

All the beams and pillars in the building are inlaid with gold and silver foil, and all the fur materials on the seats are high-end luxury items. For the Donglai Jiang family, this is nothing.

In the center is a stage, with more than a dozen beautiful dancers dancing to the songs accompanied by several singers.

The many seats around are all warriors and warriors from Luyang Mansion. They are sitting or standing in small groups. Although it seems casual, it is actually very clear.

The warriors consciously sat on the periphery, envious in their hearts, but would not enter the small circle of warriors at will.

Martial Lords are naturally together.

But the Martial Lords from wealthy families and the few commoner Martial Lords are still separated, and the topics they talk about are different.

Jiang Youxi, Mu Bing, Qin Yuer and others often get together. Zhao Feiyang, Feng Shuang, Lin Danxin, Wang Lie and others gathered together more.

Sun Zaoli, Ao Lie and other commoner warriors also have their own small circle. Most of the time, they gather together to discuss how to earn Yuan stones, and they are not together with the other children of wealthy families.

Martial masters who come from wealthy families are less worried about Yuanshi, and the topics they talk about are wider. Of course, what is talked about more is some of the most outstanding figures among them.

Everyone was absent-mindedly enjoying the singing and dancing, while discussing their respective topics in low voices.

There are two people who are talked about the most.

One is naturally the senior brother Gu Hanjian who was once regarded as the strongest warrior, and the other is Ye Fan, the leader of the five series who was the first to break through to the Martial Master Realm.

Gu Hanjian is a direct descendant of the Gu family, but there are private rumors that his martial arts talent and qualifications are actually very poor. Even among the Gu family, his qualifications are at the bottom, inferior to many civilian warriors.

This private rumor has not been confirmed, and it is not known whether it is true or not.

But what is unimaginable is that Gu Hanjian actually became the strongest ninth-level warrior in their generation. Before Ye Fan appeared, Gu Hanjian was the undisputed number one master of the younger generation.

As a result, Gu Hanjian became a legendary figure who was highly admired among the wealthy children of Luyang Mansion, and was respected as their senior brother by all the wealthy children of the family.

After that, no one cared about whether Gu Hanjian's martial arts talent was really poor.

It wasn't until Gu Hanjian's first bloodline awakening failed that the children of wealthy families like them were shocked. But it also confirmed the long-standing rumors that Gu Hanjian's martial arts bloodline talent was probably as bad as the rumors said. Bloodline concentration may be difficult to meet the requirements for bloodline awakening.

As for Ye Fan, a commoner who suddenly rose to the top of the five-series joint examination, most of the children of wealthy families actually looked down on him in their arrogant hearts at first.

It was just a few years ago in Luyang Mansion that Ye Fan used his strength and fists to force martial arts cultivators from wealthy families like them to bow their heads and honestly acknowledge Ye Fan's status as the strongest martial artist among the students of Luyang Mansion. .

But if Ye Fan hadn't obtained a precious Blood Essence Martial Pill, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to complete his bloodline awakening so smoothly.

Zhao Feiyang, Feng Shuang, Lin Danxin and Wang Lie were sitting together and saw a young warrior figure appearing on the deck outside the pavilion. It was Ye Fan who had not been seen for nearly a year.

Jiang Youxi and Qin Yuer were walking out of the pavilion to greet Ye Fan enthusiastically.

Feng Shuang glanced outside and saw Jiang Youxi and Qin Yuer going out to greet Ye Fan in such a grand manner. He whispered with some jealousy, "Ye Fan only became a Martial Master half a year earlier than us. How could they go so hard?" Do you want to please him?"

He rarely interacted with Ye Fan, and he had no good impression of Ye Fan, and certainly not a bad feeling. But his sense of superiority as a son of a wealthy family in Luyang Mansion made him instinctively reject Ye Fan.

"There's nothing wrong with them! Back then, Ye Fan was the strongest martial artist in our Luyang Mansion. He even made great contributions by killing the four beast masters in the battle of Luyang City. Ye Fan was half a year ahead of us. After becoming a Martial Lord, I wonder what level of strength he has reached now?! Ye Fan and Senior Brother Gu are both the same type of people. They almost never stop practicing hard. Their talents and qualifications hardly play a big role in them. Sooner or later, they will become the strongest. ."

Lin Danxin did not agree, but said with envy and reverence.

As early as more than a year ago, Ye Fan was the idol admired by countless girls in Luyang City.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu Bing and Qin Yu'er, two potential strong competitors with both beauty and talent, existed beside Ye Fan, she would have felt that there was no hope. I'm afraid she would have appeared on the deck to greet Ye Fan. .

Zhao Feiyang said disdainfully: "Hmph, Ye Fan is only half a year to a year ahead of us. How strong can he be?! The martial master stage is completely different from the warrior stage.

As long as a warrior practices one or two martial arts diligently every day, plus a small amount of body-tempering herbs, he can become a late-stage warrior master sooner or later.

But the strength of Wu Zun is all derived from the vitality born after the bloodline is awakened. The vitality born every day is very small, and it will be used up after a few exercises of the vitality combat skills. Hard training alone is of no use at all! There must be a large amount of Yuan Stone to support cultivation.

After many warriors break through to the first level of the Martial Master Stage, their cultivation and combat effectiveness stagnate for ten or twenty years. This is very common. He is a commoner and has no family support. Sooner or later, he will be unable to follow up. "

Wang Lie on the side shook his head secretly and did not interrupt.

Zhao Feiyang's jealousy towards Ye Fan lasted for more than a day. He was proud and arrogant, but he was always stepped on by Ye Fan. He would belittle Ye Fan whenever he had the chance.

​But others don't think so.

Soon, the three martial arts masters Ye Fan, Jiang Youxi, and Qin Yuer who were on the deck outside the pavilion entered the pavilion.

When they were outside, they didn't feel it yet. But at this time, Ye Fan entered the pavilion.

The warriors and warriors in the three-story pavilion of the building suddenly felt a strong bloody aura coming towards their faces. Many people's expressions changed, and they looked at Ye Fan with shocked expressions.

Jiang Youxi, Qin Yuer, and Mu Bing are very familiar with Ye Fan, and may not be sensitive to Ye Fan's aura.

But other warriors and warriors rarely came into contact with Ye Fan. When Ye Fan approached them, he clearly felt a strong oppressive atmosphere.

"Ye Fan has a lot of bloody aura in him!"

"This bloody and murderous aura can only gradually take on a strong bloody and murderous aura after experiencing a large number of bloody battles and being contaminated by the blood of enemies of the same level, creating an invisible and strong sense of oppression."

"There has been no war in Donglai County recently. I heard that he has not been in Donglai City in the past year, so he must have gone to hunt the Beast Lord!"

"This bloody murderous aura usually doesn't last too long and will dissipate after a long time. From this point of view, he must have killed many beast masters in the past month or two!"

"How many beast masters did you kill before you became tainted with such a strong bloody aura!"

The warriors and warriors who were chatting on the boat suddenly became quiet and were shocked. They looked at Ye Fan with awe in their eyes.

The strongest among them has just broken through the Martial Master Stage and has just started training in the Martial Master Stage.

Zhao Feiyang's handsome face changed greatly. He lowered his head and looked pale, and tightened his palms with hatred in his heart.

Originally thought that the strength gap between him and Ye Fan would quickly narrow after reaching the Martial Lord Realm, but now it seems that the gap has not become smaller at all, but continues to grow.

Ye Fan glanced at the people in the pavilion with a dull gaze, and almost no one looked at him.

"Ye Fan, come and sit here!"

I saw a stunning woman in a light blue dress, sitting softly and softly on the seat next to the window of the boat. When she saw Ye Fan, her eyes lit up, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and she smiled at Ye Fan. Fan said.

When Ye Fan saw Mu Bing greeting him, he paused briefly and walked over. He, Jiang Youxi, Qin Yuer, and Mu Bing sat down at a table by the window and started chatting casually.

The atmosphere in the building quickly calmed down, and everyone started talking.

Jiang Youxi and the others were very curious and asked him about his whereabouts in the past year.

There is nothing to hide. Ye Fan briefly talked about his trip to the Buji Islands in the East China Sea to hunt the Sea Beast Lord in the past year. After Ye Fan gave a lot of beast-type materials to Sun Zaoli to sell, they actually already knew some news in this regard.

Many battle details were directly skipped by Ye Fan.

But the information revealed has shocked Jiang, Mu and Qin.

Ye Fan actually dealt with more than seven or eight sea beasts on the island alone on the tidal night of Xiaoyue. This fighting power is simply terrifying. Even with Big Hui's help, the combined fighting power of this man and one beast was terrifying to the extreme.

"Sure enough, only you can do this kind of thing! I had just broken through the Martial Lord earlier and thought that my strength had greatly increased, so I happily went with two novice Martial Lords to hunt the Sea Beast Lord and earn some yuan stones to spend time with. We The three of them hunted a Sea Beast Lord, but in the end they were beaten to a pulp by the Sea Beast Lord. They had no choice but to come back and continue to practice vitality combat skills! These days, even if you become a Martial Lord, it will be difficult to earn some Yuan Stones! It seems that in the future It's hard for me to survive in Donglai City."

Jiang Youxi was stunned for a long time and sighed silently.

In Donglai City, there are only a few ways to earn Yuan Stone.

The first is to hunt down the Sea Beast Lord, but this is risky and difficult, so don't even think about it if you don't have enough strength. This is a job that only martial arts masters can do.

The second is to major in the nine professions such as runes, weapon refining, alchemy, beast control, business, adventure and other skill systems. If you can become a master in each industry, it will be easy to earn yuan stones.

Third, there are many other kinds of odd jobs, but they usually don't earn a few yuan stones.

Jiang Youxi thought about it for a long time, but none of the ways to earn Yuan Stones was suitable for him.

Of course, the children of aristocratic families can also receive some monthly salary from their respective families, but this is far from enough for the cultivation of Wu Zunqi.

Qin Yuer couldn't help but joked: "Who asked you to major in the sacrificial department? This sacrificial department was originally the main business of the Gu family. Your Jiang family is the city lord department, but you chose to major in the side sect's sacrificial department! If you majored in the city lord department , maybe you can become a city lord in the future, and a tax or something will be enough for you to spend."

Jiang Youxi had a wry smile on her face and said helplessly: "I blame my mother for this. She has told me since I was a child that only those in the sacrificial department have a better future. They can see the future and control their destiny!

My mother also said that if I majored in the city lord department, unless there was a major change of dynasty, it would be impossible to become the king of the eight hundred princes, let alone the emperor Zixuan. The upper echelons of the city lord family were completely monopolized by the bloodline of Emperor Zixuan and the clan of eight hundred princes and kings. I don't have royal blood, so I can only become the lord of a county or city.

But the priest system is different. Only the talent of the priest is looked at, not the family background. She also hopes that I can become the priest-archbishop of Canglan Kingdom, and even sit on the throne of the priest-archbishop of the Zixuan Dynasty one day.

I also believed her words and went astray! Now think about it, with just my qualifications as a priest, how could I possibly become a priest and archbishop? It would be hard to make a living in Donglai City. It would be better to major in the city lord department, become a small city lord, and collect some taxes. It would be more relaxed and comfortable.
