Chapter 90: This old man is not good at lying
House garden!
Lin Ye personally served the wine, and he also specially got a set of special wine utensils for white wine from modern times. Of course, they were not the kind made of transparent glass, but porcelain ones.
He poured a cup for the old man first, then Lin Ye said with a smile: "Senior, I was negligent before, so I will drink three cups as an apology."
"Is this dinner counted towards my ten jars of wine?" the old man asked tentatively.
"That certainly doesn't count."
Lin Ye smiled. When the old man heard this, he also raised his glass and said, "You don't have to punish yourself alone. I'll drink three glasses with you."
Swish, swish, swish!
After three cups, the old man was intoxicated: "This wine is strong, but it is just right for people who practice martial arts. You are really bad. You only gave me a pot. After I drank a few sips, I can no longer drink other wine."
"Senior, it's not that I'm reluctant to give you more, it's just that this wine is extremely complicated to brew, and I can't brew many jars a year."
Lin Ye felt that he was telling the truth. Considering the price of Moutai in the real world, an average working-class family might only drink it a few times, and would not drink more than one jar in their entire life. These ten jars of wine, each weighing five kilograms, would be fifty kilograms in total, and the market price would be about hundreds of thousands.
"I won't drink your wine for nothing. Tell me, why did you set up such a trap and lure me here?"
"Since you are a quick-witted person, I will also speak frankly. I have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Hundred Furnaces and have the martial arts skills to break through to the Jingzhe realm, but I still cannot break through."
The old man looked at Lin Ye carefully for a while and said, "Yes, it is indeed the Great Perfection of the Hundred Furnaces. The blood and energy on your body are exposed. You have reached the limit of breakthrough. But if you want me to guide you, you must first let me see your martial arts skills. Why, are you willing to do so?"
There was a hint of amusement in the old man's words. The martial arts techniques, especially those that could break through to the Jingzhe realm, were the unique skills of each sect. Ordinary disciples were not allowed to watch them, let alone outsiders.
"Why not!"
Lin Ye was very generous. He walked into the study and took out the handwritten version of "Lei Yang Po" in a short while. The old man was shocked by Lin Ye's behavior at first, but when he saw the title of the book, he immediately curled his lips. No wonder this guy was so generous. It turned out that he was studying the "Lei Yang Po" secret method.
"You dare to practice this thing?"
The way the old man looked at Lin Ye, in modern terms, was the same as the way he looked at Fengchu and Wulong.
The name of Lei Yang Palace has been heard of by all the martial arts sects in the entire Nanjiang Province. It was once a prominent sect in the entire Nanjiang Province, but unfortunately it declined quickly after its glory. The reason for this was that the martial arts created by the Palace Master of Lei Yang Palace were too shocking.
In the words of the Palace Master of Lei Yang Palace, this technique is selective, and only those who are predestined can practice it.
Isn’t it true? Those who have no fate will be chopped into charcoal.
"wrong!"
The old man suddenly thought of something and stretched out his right hand. Lin Ye only felt a flash before his eyes, and then his arm was grabbed by the old man, and a powerful internal energy surged into his arm.
"You have already practiced, and there is a wisp of thunder energy in your body!"
The old man let go of Lin Ye's arm, his eyes were a little complicated. Could it be that this boy in front of him was the destined one?
But it doesn't look like it.
Those disciples of Leiyang Palace who were lucky enough to survive all had one thing in common: their skin was dark. Even if they survived being struck by lightning, their bodies would be somewhat charred.
But the man in front of him had eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, a face like a crown of jade, a fine white brocade dress, and a northern frontier jade around his waist. Even if he didn't like this kid, he had to say a word. Judging from his appearance and temperament alone, this kid was worthy of the poem "Strangers are like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world."
He doesn't look like a martial artist at all, let alone someone who was struck by lightning. He looks more like a young master from a scholarly family.
“I was lucky enough not to be struck to death by lightning.” Lin Ye explained modestly.
"No matter how you didn't get struck by lightning, you made a mistake in wanting me to teach you. No one else can teach you the Lei Yang Po technique. I can't let you get struck by lightning a few more times while I watch and find out what's wrong with you."
The old man's words made Lin Ye's mouth twitch. He couldn't bear being struck by lightning a few more times, even just once.
"Don't look at me like that. There are many martial arts techniques, and they are all different. If it were other techniques, I could still give you some pointers, but I really can't do anything about Lei Yang Po."
Lin Ye was a little unwilling and asked, "Senior, can't you guess the reason?"
“This old man…”
“Fifteen jars of Maotai.”
"You kid... I guess the reason why you can't break through should be related to the martial arts you practiced before. The blood in your body is extremely vigorous, and you should have practiced a low-level martial art of the tough and fierce type. Lei Yang Po itself is a very yang martial art, which may be the reason why you can't break through to the Jingzhe realm."
"Imbalance of yin and yang?"
Lin Ye thought of many words that appeared in novels.
"That's about the same reason. The so-called Jingzhe represents the revival of all things. As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot produce life, and solitary yang cannot grow. To break through Jingzhe, you must balance yin and yang."
"Are all warriors like this?"
Lin Ye frowned. If that was the case, then all warriors would have to practice skills with different attributes before and after reaching the Jingzhe realm .
“Many sects that practice Jingzhe martial arts will use elixirs to help their disciples balance yin and yang when they first start practicing.” The old man saw that Lin Ye was about to speak, so he said first, “Don’t even think about it. Your tendons, veins, blood, and qi have already been fixed. It’s useless .”
"Is there really no solution?"
"It's not that there is no way at all. Unless you find a Jingzhe strongman who practices pure Yin skills and let him infuse his body with true Qi, there is a chance to break through to the Jingzhe realm. However, there are few warriors who practice pure Yin skills, let alone a strong man at the Jingzhe level. There is only one in the entire Nanjiang Province."
Lin Ye's eyes lit up. As long as there was a way, that would be great. As for whether he could do it, that would depend on his ability.
"May I ask, Senior, which powerful person is this?"
"The contemporary female swordsman of Piao Miao Sect, known as the Ice and Snow Swordsman in the martial arts world."
Mentioning this Ice and Snow Sword Fairy, the old man sighed: "This person is a natural prodigy. With one sword, he defeated all the swordsmen in Nanjiangzhou. If you can invite her... forget it, don't dream about it. She is as arrogant as her name suggests. If you want her to take action, you have to be her apprentice. However, the prince of the previous dynasty wanted to become her apprentice but was rejected. You kid..."
The old man looked at Lin Ye for a long while, and said with a sigh, "With your appearance, most women would flock to you, but in front of a genius like the Ice and Snow Sword Immortal, I'm afraid it's useless."
Facing the old man's attack, Lin Ye didn't care at all, because his biggest advantage was not his appearance.
"Senior said that this Ice and Snow Sword Immortal accepted a disciple?"
"Although the Ice and Snow Sword Fairy said she wanted to take in a disciple seven years ago, she still hasn't found one that she likes. There are so many martial arts geniuses in Nanjiang Province, but none of them are suitable. What's more, you are not worthy of her attention with your martial arts talent."
Lin Ye really wanted to give the old man in front of him a big slap in the face. You eat my food and drink my drinks, but you keep belittling me, as if you think I’m running a charity.
However, thinking of the old man's strength and the fact that he needed help from others, I had to hold back.
"Senior, you should be quite famous in Nanjiangzhou." Lin Ye flattered.
"The Ice and Snow Sword Immortal is called an Immortal, and my nickname also contains an Immortal. People in the martial arts world call me the Drunken Immortal."
The old man had an arrogant look on his face. Lin Ye complained in his heart, Drunken Immortal... It doesn't sound like a powerful nickname at all.
However, for someone who lives in the underworld, having a nickname means that he has some strength.
"Then if I use your fame to tell others that a peerless swordsmanship genius has been discovered in Shangyang County, I wonder if this Ice and Snow Sword Immortal can be attracted to come?"
Lin Ye finally told the old man his purpose. The old man was silent for a moment, then he said, "I still want this old face."
"Twenty jars of Moutai." Lin Ye began to quote the price.
"That's a sword immortal." The old man sneered.
Lin Ye continued to raise the price: "Fifty jars."
"It's useless even if you talk to the sky." The old man was firm and unwavering.
"One hundred jars."
"You insult me again."
"Two hundred jars."
"I'm not good at lying." The old man shook his head.
"Five hundred jars." Lin Ye gritted his teeth.
"good."
The old man slammed the table and said, "Give me 300 jars first, and if you are not dead, you must bring the remaining 200 jars to me within a month."
Lin Ye: “Deal.”
