Chapter 73 Who is the emperor here?
"Greetings, Senior Tang." Wu Zi bowed again.
"By the way , who is the emperor now?" Tang Wen asked. When coming to a strange place, one must first understand the situation.
"Emperor...Emperor..." Wu Zi was stunned and said, "Senior, are you referring to the Lord of the City?"
"Who is the city lord?" Tang Wen asked.
“The City Lord is the God of our Xuanwu City and the Lord of our Xuanwu Territory.
Back then, he killed eighteen first-class masters with one sword in Xuanxi Territory, and gained the reputation of "Invincible in the West".
Like his predecessor, he is also a strong man in the 'Spiritual Realm' and became the master of our Xuanwu Domain. "Wu Zi said.
I am also in the Divine Consciousness Realm? What the hell, I have never heard of the Divine Consciousness Realm? The Chu State has only one to ten levels, and the first level is the highest?
Could it be that the realm of spiritual consciousness is the realm of cultivating immortals?
This level must be very high, maybe it's a domain lord of some kind?
Tang Wen was a little dumbfounded. This guy seemed to be pretending to be a bit too much.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall. If other strong men find out and come to challenge you, won't you be killed without a burial place?
If I travel through time again in the future, I will definitely have to live in this crappy Xuanwu Domain for a while, and I must make a fortune if I have the chance.
So, being too high-profile is absolutely not a good idea.
So Tang Wen decided to correct her, and said, "You're flattering me. I'm not at the level of your city lord."
“Even if you haven’t reached the realm of spiritual consciousness yet, you must at least be a strong person in the realm of concentration, similar to the current Lord of Xuanwu City, ‘Xiangfang Kongming’. Xifang Kongming is also my cousin.” Wu Zi said.
Tang Wen understood a little bit. Wu Zi must not know his own level of martial arts ability.
But, I just flew down from the sky.
The lowest threshold for flying in the Xuanwu Domain is probably the Concentrated Mind State, so Wu Zi misunderstood.
“I have been practicing in the mountains with my master since I was young, and I don’t know much about the outside world.
Tell me about the martial arts realm in Xuanwu Domain and some other situations.
For example, what is going on with Xuanwu City, and what is going on with Xuanxiyu?" Tang Wen said.
“The place we are in is called Xuanwu Domain. It is very large, with thousands of cities of all sizes and billions of land. The center of Xuanwu Domain is Xuanwu City.
The Xuanwu Domain is just one of the several continental domains in the Xuantian Continent.
Every domain has a domain master like Xifang Bubai, whose skills are at the spiritual consciousness realm.
They have twenty to thirty people in the "Concentration Realm", one or two hundred in the Communication Realm, thousands in the Gathering Yuan Realm, several thousand in the Nourishing Yuan Realm, below which are tens of thousands in the Innate Realm, tens of thousands in the Super Realm, and the number of first-grade warriors is as high as one hundred thousand, and there are countless second and third-grade warriors.
The Xuanwu City alone governs an area of tens of thousands of miles.
As for the entire Xuanwu Domain, it is billions and billions of miles.
As for the Xuanxi Region, it is just to the west of Xuantian Continent, and the situation is similar to that of the Xuanwu Region..." Wu Zi said.
"What do ordinary people use to trade in restaurants? Is it gold or silver?" Tang Wen asked.
"Of course. Gold, silver and copper coins are the lowest means of transaction. Those first and second rank strongmen use spirit stones to trade with each other." Wu Zi said.
"Spirit stones are very expensive, right?" Tang Wen asked.
"Spirit stones are also divided into grades, from low to high, they are divided into three grades: low grade, medium grade, and high grade. I have only seen the medium grade ones, I have never seen the high grade ones." Wu Zi said.
"Can't spirit stones be purchased with gold?" Tang Wen asked.
"Of course, but it's too expensive, one low-grade spirit stone costs ten taels of gold.
Spirit stones are the foundation for the cultivation of the strong. If you use gold, people may not be willing to exchange them for you.
I am considered a genius in the Wu family, but I only have one or two low-grade spirit stones to practice with every month.
As for other tribesmen, they can only get one or two every three or four months." Wu Zi said.
You think one is too little? That's ten taels of gold, Tang Wen secretly criticized someone in his heart.
Gold is not valuable here, only spirit stones can make money.
It’s a pity that the Chu State has no spiritual stones, otherwise, we would make a fortune by trading them here.
However, the military level of this place is obviously much higher than that of the Chu State.
The highest martial arts in the Chu State is the first-grade strongman, and here there are super-grade, innate, nourishing essence, gathering essence, communicating thoughts, concentrating the mind, spiritual consciousness realm and so on, and there are also warriors who can fly.
Therefore, the skills here must be relatively more advanced.
If we can bring back some skills, for example, a few sets of 'Heavenly Grade' skills, to the State of Chu, we can sell them for a good price.
"Well, spirit stones are of course necessary. However, I have been following my master to collect spiritual energy from the mountains and absorb the spiritual winds of heaven and earth, but I have never used spirit stones." Tang Wen said.
"Senior, have you never seen a spirit stone?" Wu Zi was greatly surprised.
"Yeah." Tang Wen responded.
"Senior, this is a low-grade spirit stone. It's a gift from me, the junior, to you as a gift. Please accept it." Without even a second thought, Wu Zi took out a light yellow stone the size of an earthen egg from his pocket and handed it over.
"This is the spirit stone." Tang Wen took it and touched it curiously. He felt that it was no different from an ordinary stone.
However, when he looked closely, he found that the spirit stone was covered with many holes thinner than a hair, a bit like Taihu stone.
"Look, senior, if I use my Wu family's 'Heavenly Moon Nine Cauldrons Technique' to absorb it, the spiritual energy will escape from the spirit stone.
By then, we can absorb and refine it into internal energy.
For someone like me who has just entered the fourth level, the speed at which I absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very slow.
If you use the spirit stone to absorb and practice, it will be much faster. "Wu Zi took the spirit stone and circulated his power, and Tang Wen found that it was indeed the case.
A lot of light yellow gas came out of the small holes on the stone, and Wu Zi inhaled the gas into his body like smoke.
"I see. How about that? How about you teach me the method of absorption? I would also like to try it." Tang Wen said.
“The absorption methods are also divided into levels: human, earth, heaven, black, and yellow.
For example, our Wu family's "Swallowing the Moon Nine Cauldrons Technique" is just a top-grade heavenly-level technique.
If we were practicing the "Dragon Guide" of the Western Unbeaten Family, I would have already entered the third level, or even the second level." Wu Zi said.
Damn it, it's hard to find a set of lower-grade Heavenly Rank techniques in Chu State, and you think it's too low when you have an upper-grade Heavenly Rank technique...
It seems that different levels have different grades.
"Youlongyin should be a Xuan-level martial art?" Tang Wen asked.
“No, Youlongyin is a peerless method to achieve the invincible spiritual consciousness realm in the West. It cannot be a Xuan-level technique, it should be a Huang-level technique.
For someone like me who can reach the state of concentration, he must have practiced a yellow-level technique.
Otherwise, the Xuan-level technique would not be able to help you achieve the state of concentration." Wu Zi shook his head.
"My master taught me this since I was a child. I don't know what this 'Nine Revolutions of Fish and Dragon' is." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Nine Turns of Fish and Dragon, the name alone is tall and majestic, it must be a yellow-level martial art." Wu Zi said with certainty.
Bullshit, it’s just upper-grade earth grade…it’s far from it.
"But senior, although our Wu family's martial arts are not high-level. However, there are rules in the family that it cannot be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of the teacher and ancestors. I hope senior can forgive me." Wu Zi said again.
"It's okay." Tang Wen shook his head indifferently, but in fact, he was furious.
"Of course, the top-grade heavenly skills are nothing to you, senior." Wu Zi said as a matter of course.
“Although there are different levels of martial arts, if you are in a special time and place, for example, in a beautiful mountain and water, and have the assistance of elixirs etc., you can also make the martial arts produce extraordinary results.” Tang Wen said.
"Of course, but he has already surpassed you in practicing advanced techniques. If you give him that special environment, he will be even more powerful." Wu Zi said, "Since you have just come out of the mountains, why don't you come to my Wu Family Castle and have a visit?"
"If you have nothing to do, why not go and sit for a while?" Tang Wen said.
