Chapter 7 Tang Yu
With Tang Yu's deliberate attempt to make friends with him, Lin Mo remained silent and acted as a qualified listener, and the two of them walked and talked on the street.
Tang Yu kindly reminded: "Brother Lin's blood knife should be a top-grade yellow-level weapon. If some knife lovers see it, it might cause some trouble."
"Top grade yellow rank? May I ask, Brother Tang, are there clear rank divisions among weapons?" Lin Mo asked puzzledly.
"Brother Lin must have been practicing hard, so he is confused about some of these things. Weapons are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Each level is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
The difference between the two major weapon classes has a great impact on the bonus of a warrior's martial arts moves. In addition, there are also magical weapons above the Heavenly Class. As for the classification of magical weapons, it is not something that a small disciple of the Tang Sect like me can know."
Tang Yu paused and continued, "Just like your blood knife, it should be between the upper and ultimate yellow grade. Yellow grade weapons are usually held by warriors in the acquired realm.
Brother Lin, you should still be refining your marrow. It is fine in a small place like Jinyang City. Once you go out and venture out, it will inevitably arouse the greed of others. "
Lin Mo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Brother Tang. However, things have not been peaceful in Jinyang City recently. Many disciples from major sects have arrived. Something big must have happened. I'm sure no one would pay attention to a small marrow-refining warrior like me."
"Brother Lin's vision is quite sharp. There was indeed a big event recently. However, the so-called disciples of the big sects are just ordinary disciples. The real disciples of the sects have not been dispatched.
The highest level of the disciples who came to Jinyang City is only at the tenth level of marrow refining. The real core disciples will not get involved in this matter. My Tang Sect belongs to a completely neutral camp, so I dare to come here."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Brother Tang, I'm new to the martial arts world and I only know the names of the major forces. Is there any clear division of camps? I wonder if Brother Tang can tell me."
Tang Yu shook the handle of his fan and said confidently: "Brother Lin, you have asked the right person. The most well-informed ones should be the Tianji Palace and the four great dynasties. The next best ones are completely neutral camps like my Tang Sect. Of course, the Tianji Palace is also completely neutral.
Let’s first talk about the neutral camp like our Tang Sect. Among the eight major gangs, Mo Sect, Holy Medical Alliance, and Wanliu Chamber of Commerce all belong to the neutral camp.
The remaining Yiqi Society, Qihai Gang and Beggar Gang belong to the righteous camp, and the Seven Great Families are on the side of righteousness. After all, the reputation of a family is very important, but it is said that they have some connections with the Nine Nether Evil Sect in private.
Among the six swords, Haoran Villa belongs to the absolutely righteous side. After all, the Haoran sword technique they practice is based on righteousness . The Yue Female Sword Society can be said to be both righteous and evil. Since their sect is composed of women, they have many major forces for marriage.
Therefore, no righteous disciple dared to blame them. The remaining Lujian Mountain, Jianxie Sect and Huaiyin Sword Pavilion were on the neutral side of the righteous path, while the last Zhujian Peak was completely neutral.
The three Buddhist temples all belong to the righteous side, while the five Taoist palaces are the kind that are quiet and inaction. They will beat up anyone who provokes them. Except for the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, they usually stay out of other matters.
As for the four great dynasties, they are openly calling for the fight against the Nine Netherworlds, but according to the elders in my family, there are many tricks involved.
Although the Nine Netherworlds are being suppressed harshly in the martial arts world now, this is just a tacit understanding in the martial arts world. For example, the hidden killing place in the Nine Netherworlds is a gathering place for killers, and many masters of the righteous path will also go there to hire killers to kill people.
The Shadow Guard Palace in the Nine Netherworlds is a place that provides protection services. Many high-ranking officials in the dynasty would hire a team of Shadow Guards to protect them when they have important matters. So how can we tell the difference between the righteous and evil ways? "
When Lin Mo heard this, he suddenly felt that there was a big gap between him and the disciples of these big sects. At least he didn't know anything about the tricks in the martial arts world.
If you really pretend to be a righteous person and get rid of harm for the people, you never know when you will affect the interests of some big shot and be secretly dealt with.
His current strength is comparable to or even inferior to that of ordinary disciples from these large sects, and his original arrogance has subsided a lot.
"Thank you, Brother Tang, for telling me. I am new to the martial arts world and I really don't know anything about this. If it weren't for the information you told me, I might not even reflect on myself if I get into any trouble in the future."
Tang Yu fanned his folding fan and said with a smile: “This is how it is in the martial arts world. Brother Lin’s sword is not only a good sword but also a magic sword. Brother Lin can control this sword without being corrupted by the devil, which shows that Brother Lin is extraordinary.
Our Tang Sect is actually a business-oriented sect, so we will naturally show some goodwill to some potential independent cultivators, so Brother Lin does not have to mind these trivial matters.
In the future, you will also learn about Brother Lin’s departure from Jinyang City through various channels. Today, I am only here to make friends with Brother Lin.”
After hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly realized why Tang Yu had been so kind to him from the beginning. He half-believed and half-doubted, he bowed and said:
"No matter what, I, Lin Mo, will remember this favor. In addition, I wonder if Brother Tang could conveniently tell me what the recent major event in Jinyang City is."
“In fact, you should know about this matter in a few days. It’s okay to tell you now because it will be more beneficial to independent cultivators.
Brother Lin should know that there have been many incidents of fighting in Jinyang City recently. In fact, it is a necessary preparatory measure to open an underground palace. "
"Underground palace? Are there any treasures or magical skills in this underground palace? If so, why don't those big sects send some real masters here?"
"This underground palace is open once a year, and the location is randomly selected in any city in this world. There are no treasures in the underground palace.
It is a large formation. Every time it is opened, it requires a blood sacrifice to support its operation . After passing the formation, the underground palace will give corresponding rewards to those who pass the level.
However, this formation always has a cultivation limit. This time it requires the cultivator to be below the Qi training realm, so Brother Lin is lucky this time.
But you have to be careful, this formation is sometimes a living formation, and sometimes a dead formation. It does not mean you will die if you enter it. If it is a dead formation, then only one person can survive if he enters the formation.
Of course, it is said that the rewards are also generous. The rewards have always included magic weapons, magic pills, and even magic skills above the earth level. As for the origin of this underground palace, perhaps only those big shots know it. For those of us who come for the trial, we should just treat it as a dangerous trial place."
"Then Brother Tang, since this is a training ground, why don't those big sects send disciples of corresponding cultivation levels here? And it doesn't seem that they are very friendly to independent cultivators. No matter what the formation tests, according to the foundation of the big sects, the benefits should be obtained by those disciples."
Tang Yu smiled and continued, "Brother Lin, you don't know this. First, because every time you enter the formation, you have to rely on blood sacrifice, so those in the righteous camp will not come here, and those who lean towards the righteous will only send one or two disciples.
This is a potential rule, and every time the four great dynasties are opened, there will be certain turmoil caused by the opening of the underground palace.
Therefore, they united together to restrict the number of people required by each sect. As for the Nine Nether Evil Sect, even if they came, they would change their faces and would not be friendly to the independent cultivators.
In fact, I am not very clear about this matter, but every time the formation is opened, the ones who benefit the most are the independent cultivators, while the major sects will suffer some damage, so it can only serve as a trial.
The major sects were quite concerned about the opening of the underground palace the first few times, but many years have passed and this has become the norm, so it is more attractive to those whose cultivation is below the innate level.
The big sects don't care about these things. Of course, there may be deeper secrets, which I don't know. But this time, I can't enter the underground palace due to my cultivation level. It depends on Brother Lin's performance."
Lin Mo suddenly understood. No wonder Tang Yu could tell in an instant that I was in the marrow refining stage. According to this, he should be at least in the Qi training or even the acquired realm. We are almost the same age, but I didn't expect that there is almost two levels difference in our cultivation. It seems that I really underestimated everyone.
If I didn't have a yellow-grade precious sword on me and was not mistaken by Tang Yu as a disciple of some hermit, I'm afraid given his situation he wouldn't have lowered himself to make friends with me. Of course, there might be other reasons.
Lin Mo once again witnessed the reality of the martial arts world. Strength is always the first factor. If you are strong, you have the right to speak, and you will also get the respect you deserve.
Tang Yu said casually as he walked: "Brother Lin, there are not many people coming this time, and this kind of underground palace assessment has always been beneficial to individual people . Although Brother Lin's cultivation is a little worse than theirs, the underground palace does not necessarily assess cultivation, so you should compete as much as you can.
Although I don't know what Brother Lin's inheritance is, but I can see from his sword that Brother Lin's swordsmanship is extraordinary. People choose swords, and swords also choose people.
Without the corresponding moves, even a divine weapon is no different from ordinary iron. Weapons above the Yellow Rank will have some spirituality, so Brother Lin should do his best in this battle for the Underground Palace."
Lin Mo thanked him again and said, "Brother Tang's words today have really benefited me a lot. I will definitely go to this underground palace. As for the ranking, it depends on the situation on site.
After all, there is a gap in our cultivation, but with Brother Tang's encouragement and information, I believe this trip to the underground palace will not be in vain."
The two smiled at each other and made an appointment to go to a restaurant for a drink. After arriving at the largest restaurant in Jinyang City, the two prepared to go directly to the private seats on the second floor. It was already noon and the first floor of the restaurant was already crowded.
When I got to the second floor, I found that only a few seats were occupied, and from their expressions and clothes, I knew they were not ordinary people.
