The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 340: Ice Soul Mysterious Heart, Soul-breaking Entry

The Lin family's prodigy ranked 25th on the rookie list and had a great reputation in Dihuo County. Even among the younger generation in Canglong Province, he had a great reputation!
But now
He was defeated with just one move!

Even though this Lin family prodigy has only recently entered the Xuanguang realm, he still has divine skills! His combat power is not too weak in the initial stage of Xuanguang realm!

But now he was defeated in one move. This news is simply shocking.

In this battle, the fighting power displayed by Lan Yingjun made many of the older generation of masters feel inferior. To achieve this level, Lan Yingjun must have already entered the middle realm of Xuanguang!

At the age of twenty, he has reached such a state. Lan Yingjun's talent is simply terrifying!
After this battle, Lan Yingjun's reputation in the important town of Bei Cang rose rapidly! Compared to before, when the news was mainly spread by the gimmick of a generous dowry and being a slave, the news now focused more on Lan Yingjun himself, and the name of a rising star was completely established!
"Defeat a Xuan Guang beginner in one move! Even if the Lin family's genius is useless, to be able to achieve this, this Lan Yingjun should have the strength of a Xuan Guang intermediate level!"

Listening to Yuan Zutong's story, Chen Pingan made his judgment.

With such combat power, Lan Yingjun's ranking on the rookie list would probably not be lower than the top fifteen!
I had never heard of this woman's reputation before, but now that she has just emerged, she has achieved such an achievement, which is indeed remarkable! She has never been on the list, but she directly rushed into the top 15. This is also a legend in the rookie list for several consecutive years.

Ordinary geniuses can't stand loneliness. If they really have talent and strength, they will probably show it early, hoping that others will know it as early as possible. But who among all geniuses doesn't have the spirit of youth and the determination to make progress in their hearts! ?

Young people should become famous as early as possible, and let their fame spread far and wide!
Even if there are a few geniuses who do not want to be famous, the family power behind them will probably push them to become famous.

The reason is simple: driven by profit!
If a new talent can emerge in the family, it will be of great benefit to the family! Not only in terms of reputation, but also in many practical benefits!

A situation like Lan Yingjun's is indeed extremely rare!

Chen Pingan just listened to Yuan Zutong's story and thought about it for a few times, but he didn't really think about it. His horizons have been broadened now, and his eyes are no longer fixed on this so-called rookie list.

Rookie Prodigy Ranking! ?

Do not!
A true genius will never focus on his peers!

No age limit, no background limit, fight with the real masters of the older generation!

With his own strength, he suppressed his generation, his predecessors, and his predecessors! He suppressed more than ten generations. This is called a peerless genius!

However, Chen Pingan is not aiming too high now. His goal now is to become the Dragon and Tiger!
Being on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking was no longer a challenge for him now. What he really cared about was where he stood on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking! ?

After talking about the third major event, Yuan Zutong, with a respectful look on his face, began to talk about the fourth major event.

Just two days ago, the sixth blockbuster item of the Beicang Auction was announced.

Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus!
The Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus has extremely high requirements for the environment in which it grows, has miraculous effects, and is extremely rare. Compared to the Scrophulariaceae and Jade Ganoderma that Chen Pingan had previously harvested, its grade is much higher, and it is a true treasure of heaven and earth!

The effect of the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus is powerful. The lotus leaves can increase the spirituality of the mysterious light and nourish the flower buds. The lotus seeds have the effect of stimulating the growth of the spiritual flower and help to condense the spiritual flower and improve the chips for entering the Grandmaster stage.

The most important thing is that this Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus has almost no side effects, and it will not force growth or damage the foundation of the practitioner during the process of inducing it.

It is said that the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus being auctioned this time is a thousand years old and has even more miraculous effects! According to the analysis and judgment of a master who is immersed in medicine and familiar with the properties of medicine, taking this Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus is enough to increase the chances of entering the Grandmaster realm by 30%!
30% sure!

Considering the difficulty of breaking into the Grandmaster realm, this level of improvement is already terrifying!
Once this item comes out, countless top masters who are interested in it will be attracted to it! They will fight for it at all costs!
Of course, it is worth mentioning that if the foundation of the top is not solid, even with this 30% confidence, it is very difficult to enter the realm of the Grandmaster. Moreover, even if the practitioner has a solid foundation and takes this Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus, it does not mean that he will definitely enter the Grandmaster realm. Like many top masters, who have enlightened their minds, made many preparations, and worked hard, they ended up with a failure in the breakthrough, and at most achieved the realm of pseudo-grandmaster!
Just the step of trying to break through is enough to stop 99% of the geniuses in the world!
Not to mention being able to successfully break through in the end. No matter how talented you are, it is like walking on thin ice to enter the realm of the Grandmaster. It is extremely difficult and a little carelessness can lead to death!

Chen Pingan didn't expect that a treasure like the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus would appear at this auction! In order to build momentum for the business route, the State Pacification Division really spared no effort. With such a hand, even the real aristocratic families would be tempted, not to mention those casual cultivators!
There are still a few days left, and the important town of Beicang will probably be even more lively!

"Sir, these are the main information I have gathered." After Yuan Zutong reported the information he had gathered, he stood respectfully aside, waiting for Chen Ping'an's instructions.

"Okay." Chen Pingan looked at Yuan Zutong: "You've been tired from the journey these days, go down and rest first!"

"Yes!" Yuan Zutong responded respectfully, his face showing emotion: "Thank you for your concern, sir. It is my humble position's blessing to be able to serve you."

Regardless of whether it is true or false, since the superiors are willing to care about you, it means that they value you. At this time, no matter what your true thoughts are, you must show your gratitude on your face, and it is best to look like you are willing to die for the superiors! This is the way to be an official!
Yuan Zutong looks big and strong, but he is able to work in the Pacification Office, so he must be well versed in this!
Chen Pingan looked at Yuan Zutong deeply, then retracted his gaze and waved his hand casually.

"I'll take my leave!" Yuan Zutong clasped his fists respectfully, said goodbye, and then left the courtyard.

After Yuan Zutong left, Chen Pingan did not move for a while, staring at a corner of the courtyard in a daze.

In his current position, he basically sees smiling faces. Everyone is loyal and obedient. He is so tired of hearing words like "I dare to die for you".

However, if we really look into it, how many of them are sincere and how many are just being perfunctory?

Seeing that the people below are perfunctory, I can only say that the other party's skills are not up to par. There is no point in talking, and the facts will show it, but it can't stop someone from putting on a show!

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, each is different. In a word,

Can’t see through, can’t explain, can’t know!
Although he did not actually reach the top of the mountain, he also experienced the truth that it is lonely at the top.

The lower class has their own ways, and the higher class has their own rules. Since he has already sat in this position, he must adapt to and master these rules.

"It's not easy to be a good superior! At least, it's not as easy as you think."

Chen Pingan chuckled and retracted his gaze towards the corner of the courtyard. He stood up suddenly and drew his sword.

"This martial art is too simple! It's just hard work!"

Swish swish!
In the courtyard, as Chen Ping'an's figure moved, there were flashes of swords and gusts of wind. The sun slowly set, and as the last ray of afterglow disappeared, the courtyard became dark.

Swish!
A cold light flashed, stirring up a cloud of dust.

+1!

An extremely familiar cultivation experience flashed before Chen Ping'an's eyes.

"It's done!" Chen Ping'an's face lit up with joy, he put away his knife and stood up.

Name: Chen Pingan
Realm: Mysterious Light - Mysterious Light Penetrates Everything
Martial Arts: Mastery of the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger (507/1600), Mastery of the Soul-Breaking Sword (80/80), Mastery of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, and Mastery of the Great Vajra Palm.
The 80 points of practice experience required to get started with the Soul-Breaking Sword have all been accumulated!

These days, Chen Pingan temporarily put aside the practice of the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger and put all his energy on the Soul-Breaking Sword. On the way to the important town of Beicang, he was constantly accumulating and practicing.

Now that he had arrived at the important town of Beicang, he had a suitable place to practice his swordsmanship, and he could accumulate enough experience in practice in one go.

"breakthrough!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and the panel in the void changed.

The experience stirred, turned into starlight, and sank into the center of the eyebrows.

It was still an extremely familiar process. When Chen Pingan opened his eyes again, his insights and understandings about the magical Soul-Breaking Sword had already emerged in his heart.

Since this Soul-Breaking Sword Technique is just an entry-level one, the corresponding insights are not too many. The main thing is to be able to use the basic sword styles and regulate the true Qi.

In addition to his understanding of swordsmanship, with the help of the golden finger panel, the spiritual flower bud between Chen Ping'an's eyebrows has become more spiritual, and it looks moist and nourished.

"One step closer to Yuheng realm!" Sensing the scene at his brows, Chen Pingan was in a good mood.

It was just the introduction to a magical skill, which did not allow him to make too many breakthroughs in his realm, but it did add to his foundation!
This foundation made his combat power increase slightly!
Do not underestimate this slight change in combat power. In front of a truly top master, once a long battle breaks out, this slight difference can make the difference between heaven and earth.

"It feels so good!" Chen Pingan sheathed his sword and felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Continuous practice and continuous breakthroughs, this feeling is intoxicating!

Qingyou Yayuan, this is the name of the inn where Chen Pingan settled in the important town of Beicang. As one of the most high-end inns in the important town of Beicang, at this critical moment, the guests who can stay here are naturally rich or noble.

Behind Qingyou Yayuan are courtyards of independent residences, and in front of Yayuan is an exquisite and magnificent high-rise building called Qingya Building.

Qingya Building is five stories high, with a viewing platform at the top, from which you can have a panoramic view of most of the scenery in the important town of Beicang. Below the viewing platform is a special place for banquets and entertainment.

On the third floor of Qingya Building, Chen Pingan sat by the window, with Qingya Building's signature dishes placed on the table in front of him.

Yuan Zutong sat stiffly opposite Chen Pingan, looking very restrained. He never thought that he would have dinner at the same table with the adults this time. Although it was an honor, the pressure was a bit great. The level between him and the adults was not even a little bit different!
Chen Pingan glanced at Yuan Zutong, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and swallowed it, ignoring his restraint.

At first, Yuan Zutong wanted to stand aside and watch Chen Pingan eat, but Chen Pingan thought he was too conspicuous, so he asked him to sit down with him.

As for whether Yuan Zutong relaxed after sitting down and whether he dared to pick up his chopsticks to eat, that was another matter.

Chen Pingan came to the important town of Beicang this time, in addition to participating in the auction, he also planned to clean up some of the things on his body. Things like the Qinghong Sword, the long and short double swords, the black long sword, and the soft sword were all stolen goods that could not be seen in the light. If he didn't take this opportunity to sell them, when would he wait! ?

Convert all these unused treasures into Yuan Crystals, so that you can have more confidence when bidding for your favorite items at the auction.

Let's not talk about the ordinary auction items in the auction. For now, among the six known heavyweight auction items, Chen Ping'an is more interested in the magical skill, Dragon Elephant Hegemon Body Art. The second is the auxiliary magical skill. The third is the quasi-magic weapon Xuanbing Silk Armor.

The rest, like the Sanyang Yunshen Pill used to break through the realm, the Essence Burning Blood Curse that released the secret technique, and the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus that enhanced the foundation for breaking through the realm, were not very tempting to Chen Pingan.

He has a gold finger panel on him, so he naturally doesn't need to rely on external objects to break through. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is perfect, and the transformation form of the Golden Man Indestructible is already enough, so there is not much demand for the so-called explosive secret technique. At least, secret techniques like this that require the consumption of the foundation essence and blood are not within Chen Ping'an's consideration for the time being.

His biggest desire now is the magical skills!
At his current state, ordinary skills are not of much help to him. Even if he cultivates them to perfection, the effect is minimal. Only divine skills can be of great help to him!

Naturally, the stronger the grade of the magical power, the better!
Naturally, the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art was within Chen Ping'an's consideration. Although its effect was similar to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, divine arts were rare, so he couldn't be picky!
The same is true for the auxiliary magic skill, the Soul-Bewitching Technique! However, in terms of grade, the temptation to Chen Pingan is not as great as that of the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art.

As for the quasi-divine weapon, the black ice silk armor, it's not that Chen Ping'an values ​​its defensive effect. In the Jinren Buba posture, his defensive ability is only stronger than the black ice silk armor!
What Chen Pingan was more concerned about was the characteristic of this piece of black ice silk armor: its size was just as he wished!
He has mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, and the most powerful method he can use is to transform into a small indestructible giant. This last resort method is good, but it is a bit too much!

Every time he transformed into a little giant, his clothes would explode. Although he was protected by the golden light and the mysterious light, which prevented him from completely exposing his body, it was still quite inconvenient to change clothes afterwards.

If he could have this quasi-divine weapon, the black ice silk armor, with its size as desired, it would be a perfect match for his physique!

However, regarding this armor, Chen Pingan held the attitude of "there is something from nothing"! If it conflicts with the magic skill, he will still choose the magic skill. After all, the magic skill is related to the major plan of cultivation, while the black ice silk armor is just a minor detail.

Chen Pingan chose to sit out for a while, in addition to adjusting his mood after practicing, he also wanted to see if he could hear any useful information. Of course, the latter was just a thought, and it didn't matter if there was no information.

Just as Chen Ping'an was thinking, the discussions around him attracted his attention.
