Chapter 52: Paying Homage to the Mountain
"Yuan'er, what did he say to you? Why did you suddenly change your mind and leave Black Wind Town? Why did you give up the idea of going to Black Wind Forest for training?"
On the way out of Black Wind Town, the old woman asked in confusion.
"He just speculated that someone was going to attack me, and advised me to return to the capital as soon as possible." Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the direction of the imperial city, and slowly said: "However, I will not return to the capital immediately. I want to ask my great grandfather to come out and find out who wants to kill me."
"Can you trust his words?" The old woman frowned. "Please ask your great grandfather if he is making a big fuss."
She is very old and is already one hundred and sixty years old.
The great-grandfather that Xia Yuan mentioned was even older than her, two hundred years old, and a powerful figure among the top members of the Great Xia royal family.
"I don't believe everything he said. But I also think that if my brothers and sisters find a chance to kill me, they may do it. To be safe, asking my great grandfather to come out is the best choice." Xia Yuan shook his head, his expression gradually turned cold: "If someone really dares to attack me, I will no longer care about whether they are my brothers and sisters."
"Alas." The old woman was silent for a moment, shook her head, and could only sigh.
She was also an experienced person and knew what these people could do in order to fight for the throne.
Therefore, every time the throne changes, there will inevitably be bloody storms, and many princes and princesses will die tragically in the vortex of the fight for the throne.
When Xia Yuan was planning to conduct a sting operation, Wang Ping also left Heifeng Town and rushed to the Jianling Sect.
…
The next day, at dusk, Wang Ping arrived at the gate of Jianling Sect.
The Jianling Sect was built on the Qingyuan Mountains, which has beautiful scenery and rich spiritual energy, making it very suitable for practicing.
This place is also the most coveted place for cultivators in Da Xia. All cultivators in Da Xia are proud to join the Sword Spirit Sect.
After all, Daxia's history is only 500 years old, and it is already in the last years of the dynasty. However, the Jianling Sect has a history of thousands of years and has always stood on the top of the Qingyun Mountains, overlooking the earth.
Even when Da Xia was at its peak, the Da Xia court was unwilling to provoke the Sword Spirit Sect and instead adopted a strategy of winning them over, which was enough to show the Sword Spirit Sect's transcendent status.
"This is the gate of the Sword Spirit Sect. Anyone coming here is not allowed to enter."
Not long after, Wang Ping walked along the stone steps in the mountains and came to the gate of the Jianling Sect, where he was shouted at by the two disciples guarding the gate.
"My name is Wang Ping. I'm a fourth-rank alchemist. I would like to join the Sword Spirit Sect. I hope you two can inform the leader of your sect." Wang Ping looked at the two disciples and spoke calmly.
"What!?"
"Fourth-rank alchemist?"
The two disciples were shocked and somewhat incredulous.
"Are you really a fourth-rank alchemist? You're a little too young." A disciple asked suspiciously.
There are only a few fourth-grade alchemists in the entire Da Xia, and their Jianling Sect currently has only one fourth-grade alchemist.
Now, a young man who looks to be in his twenties has appeared and said that he is a fourth-grade alchemist. It is really hard to believe.
"Being young doesn't mean that your medicine refining skills are low." Wang Ping said calmly with a calm expression, "Or do you think I have the guts to deceive the Sword Spirit Sect?"
"Uh..." The two mountain guarding disciples looked at each other and felt that what Wang Ping said made sense.
Indeed, in this world, no one has dared to deceive the Sword Spirit Sect. That would be like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long.
"Wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the master."
Then, a disciple said something respectfully to Wang Ping and ran towards the door, demonstrating his impressive lightness skills.
Soon, two figures appeared in the Sword Spirit Sect.
A middle-aged man with a slightly elegant face came with the mountain-guarding disciple, riding a flying sword.
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man flying in the sky with a sword.
The leader of the Sword Spirit Sect, Zhang Yuan, appears gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact he has a cruel and vicious personality, which he hides very deeply.
He is also the person Wang Ping wants to kill recently.
However, in the last free simulation, Wang Ping developed too slowly and never made a move against Zhang Yuan.
Of course, Wang Ping could understand that.
After all, without taking drugs, the speed of cultivation is indeed slower, but the advantage is that the foundation is solid and you can go further.
Unfortunately, Wang Ping in the last free simulation did not find a reasonable opportunity to kill Zhang Yuan, and was killed by the demon Mo Fan who suddenly appeared.
Of course, if the demon Mo Fan attacked the Sword Spirit Sect, Zhang Yuan would definitely be dead.
Daoist friend, you said you are a fourth-grade alchemist, is that true? "
Zhang Yuan flew on his sword, came to Wang Ping and asked curiously.
Originally, when the disciple reported the news, he did not care about Wang Ping's appearance or age.
After all, the lifespan of a Xiantian realm expert is two hundred years, and that of a Lingyuan realm expert is as high as three hundred years.
Some people who look only twenty years old may actually be in their fifties, sixties or even over a hundred years old.
His cultivation level is the third level of Lingyuan Realm. One can tell at a glance that Wang Ping has the cultivation level of Lingyuan Realm.
Therefore, he believed that Wang Ping's real age should be over seventy years old.
Of course, at the age of seventy, with the cultivation level of Lingyuan Realm, and being a fourth-grade alchemist, it was also amazing enough.
However, such a person has never appeared in the history of Daxia.
