The Great Martial Saint!

Whoosh!
A light blue light, dragging a long tail of light, came towards the island in the middle of the lake at an extremely astonishing speed.

The blue light flickered, like a dreamy nebula, with strange colors.

Um! ?

Looking at the stream of light that was streaking across the sky in the distance, Chen Pingan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Fly in the air!"

"So fast!"

"."

There was a bit of commotion on the island, and many masters showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

hum~
The blue light slowly faded away, revealing a beautiful woman in a light blue fairy dress.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were as black as distant ink, her eyes were as bright as stars, and a layer of faint blue light lingered around her body, as if she was a fairy from fairyland.

"It's Fairy Gu!"

"The Grand Master is here in person!"

"."

Some people recognized Gu Qingchan's identity and came forward to greet her.

When the Grand Master comes in person, no matter how arrogant a person is, he dares not be negligent in the slightest.

"How could it be her!?"

Tong Guan's face looked a little ugly.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he had no choice but to face it head-on.

"Welcome Fairy Gu!"

"Greetings, Grand Master!"

"."

There were cheers of welcome in the venue.

"It's really her."

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Gu Qingchan not far away.

Tonight, Gu Qingchan looks even more elegant and graceful.

She was wearing a light blue fairy dress, the hem of which swayed in the wind like a blooming light blue fairy lotus.

He has now shaved off his muscles and changed his image, using a pseudonym.

Gu Qingchan had just broken through, and her realm was not as good as his, so Chen Pingan was not worried that she would see through his true appearance. But since the Grand Master was here in person, he still had to be more cautious, so as not to suspect him through any clues.

Now that everyone was bowing to welcome him, it would be inappropriate for him to stand out too much.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan stood up and, like the other masters present, bowed from a distance towards Gu Qingchan.

"Welcome Grand Master."

"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I will host this small gathering." Gu Qingchan raised her jade hand lightly with an elegant posture, her voice tender, crisp and still pleasant to the ear.

"Thank you, Grand Master." Everyone bowed in unison.

This meeting was hosted by Gu Qingchan. Although everyone was surprised, they did not find it strange overall.

The biggest boss behind Ruyi Bao Pavilion is the Canglong Gu family.

As an elder of the Gu family, Gu Qingchan came to preside over the small meeting. Although it might seem that she was condescending, it was not without reason.

With the arrival of Gu Qingchan, the transaction officially began.

Compared with other hosts, Gu Qingchan did not say much. In just a few words, she pointed out the theme and announced the start of the meeting.

Although Gu Qingchan didn't say much, the masters present didn't dare to disrespect her at all.

There was a constant response and support from everyone.

"This small meeting is presided over by the Grand Master himself. No matter what we gain, it is worth it!" The crazy old man Zhu Changlie looked excited and behaved in a heroic manner.

Even when they reach their level, there are still things they need to pursue.

It’s just that what they pursue is of a higher level, which ordinary people may not be able to understand.

Zhu Changlie's words also reflected the thoughts of most of the masters present.

Gu Qingchan has recently reached the realm of Grand Master, and his name is known throughout Canglong and the various states in the northern border.

Gu Qingchan is not an ordinary grandmaster. Judging from her speed of breaking through the realm, her status as a queen is a little exaggerated, but it is not impossible.

This is an extraordinary person who will hopefully be on the Daqian list in the future!
Having the opportunity to come into contact with such beings is indeed a great gain in itself.

One day, it may be an experience worth bragging about!
In addition, there were a very small number of masters who looked at the peerless Fairy Gu in the field, with a strange look in their eyes and a hint of amazement.

Those who can become masters have a strong determination in martial arts, and ordinary beauties are no longer in their eyes.

But even as a master, there is a need for a companion.

Most masters often have one or two Taoist partners.

It’s not that they are not loyal enough, but that their partners left them early due to their lifespan limitations.

Of course, there are also some extremely loyal masters who remain faithful to one person from beginning to end and will never want anyone else in their life.

However, such masters are only a minority after all. Once they become masters, most of their attention is often focused on martial arts, and love affairs are just secondary matters.

There are even many masters who, when their Taoist partner grows old, their energy and blood decline, and their looks fade, will look for another Taoist partner to accompany them.

For the Grandmaster, what is truly important is the martial arts, while everything else is just an accessory to relieve loneliness on the road of martial arts.

They don’t care about worldly opinions!
Except for a few who are too picky and some who have special skills, all other masters have this attitude.

But this is based on the premise that their Taoist partner is of no benefit to martial arts. If their Taoist partner is beneficial to martial arts, then the situation will change greatly.

Deep love between husband and wife often occurs in this situation.

The couple lived and died together and faced dangers together.

This kind of emotion is also what many masters pursue and yearn for.

This also leads to the fact that among the masters, a female master is particularly popular.

The realm is the same, the lifespan is the same, the cognition is the same. If you can get a good spouse who can accompany you for the rest of your life and pursue martial arts together, what a wonderful thing it is!

But among the grandmasters, there are relatively few female grandmasters, and young and beautiful ones are even rarer.

In such a situation, if someone could have a female master as a Taoist partner, it would often be something worth bragging about.

Those who can achieve this are often masters with profound backgrounds, high realms, and strong combat capabilities.

There is also a chain of contempt between masters.

If they are both Grandmasters, then we compare their realms. If they are at the same realm, then we compare their combat power. If they are at the same combat power, then we compare their backgrounds. If they are at the same backgrounds, then we compare their external objects. The evaluation of Taoist companions is also an important part of the contempt chain.

If you can find a good spouse, it will definitely be a glorious thing.

Of course, Gu Qingchan's status was too noble, and most of the masters present were just amazed and didn't dare to really come up with that unrealistic idea. Even when they were watching, they didn't dare to look too much, for fear of attracting Gu Qingchan's suspicion.

All in all, they are extremely cautious.

No matter how courageous a person is, there are some things that he dares only think about in his heart and dare not express them at all.

According to convention, after the host opens the meeting, the grand masters participating in the meeting will speak in turn, explaining their needs and items for sale.

If other people have suitable chips or are willing to make a deal, they can speak directly and make the deal.

As just said, when a transaction is made, all parties often strictly follow the chain of contempt among the masters.

Unlike what people imagine, the way masters get along with each other is also divided into different levels.

Of course, these divisions are more psychological and will not be truly reflected in most scenes.

Apart from some masters who are straightforward and have strange personalities, many masters are well versed in the ways of the world.

Some things are better to be known in your heart and not really said out loud to avoid hurting the reputation of both parties.

However, if there really is someone who doesn't know what's best for him, don't blame others for not giving you face!

This may be difficult for the world to imagine. According to their understanding, a master should be high and mighty, with a profound demeanor and great majesty.

But in fact, these high and mighty and majestic things are only for those below the Grandmaster level. If they reach the same level, most of them will return to their true nature, and they will not always be extremely deep when they get along with each other.

Although they are all masters, they have different temperaments, and some of them are talkative and funny.

"Everyone, I have an 800-year-old Moonlight Heavenly Heart Grass in my hand. I will trade it for supernatural mineral resources such as Red Flame Meteorite Copper and Mysterious Ice Cold Iron. In addition, I have an idle quasi-divine weapon in my hand. If you are interested in buying it, we can discuss it privately."

The first person to speak was a white-haired old man.

Chen Pingan had no interest in the trading items he took out.

Yuehua Tianxin Grass is of great benefit to condensing spiritual flowers and can be regarded as an auxiliary spiritual object for breaking through the realm.

The spiritual object that is highly sought after by those at the top of the Xuanguan realm and on the Dragon and Tiger list is not even worth a damn to Chen Pingan.

As for quasi-divine weapons, that goes without saying. With Chen Ping'an's current vision, ordinary divine weapons may not be in his eyes, let alone quasi-divine weapons.

However, he did notice that the other party did not give much introduction about this quasi-divine weapon, probably to leave a certain amount of privacy for the real buyer.

After all, weapons are related to combat power. If you can keep one or two secrets and have a trick up your sleeve, that would naturally be great.

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, a master soon took over and expressed his interest in the 800-year-old Yuehua Tianxin grass.

After several exchanges, a master who had reached the perfection of the early stage of Yuheng traded it for several pieces of ores with similar effects.

"Everyone, I have a demon beast pill here. Its combat power was close to the Grandmaster level when it was alive, and it is only one step away from becoming a perfect pill. I will trade it to enhancement pills and great medicines first. You can also discuss purchasing it with Yuanjing."

After the old man finished the transaction, a master behind him quickly came forward to speak. The item he took out was quite good, attracting several masters to bid.

The use of monster pills is quite wide. In addition to being used as medicine, they can also be used as the preparatory materials for some cultivation techniques. In addition, when refining some special magic weapons, monster pills can also be used as forging treasures.

Then, masters spoke one after another. The trading resources varied in quantity, mostly natural treasures, minerals, and occasionally quasi-divine weapons appeared.

"Everyone, I came here this time with a lot of resources, and I want to trade for a magical weapon that focuses on attacking. This is the trade list of items."

An old man with dark spots on his face, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, took out a list and presented it to everyone.

"Purple wisteria wood heart-clearing pill. Heavenly pure water."

"Heavenly pure water!"

Chen Ping'an's heart moved.

In addition to nourishing spirituality, Tianjing Water can also speed up the recovery of spiritual injuries, and its effect is several times higher than that of Yunling Pills.

It's the resource he needs.

"Old Ku, I want this wisteria wood."

As soon as the old man showed his list, a master opened his mouth to make a deal.

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, and he directly joined the transaction sequence.

"I want this bottle of pure water!"

Chen Pingan was dressed in a black robe, and his voice was like thunder. He had shown some of his strength before, and many masters present were quite afraid of him.

“This old weirdo.”

On the rocks not far away, the black-faced man's eyes showed a bit more vigilance.

After a brief negotiation, he spent several hundred yuan to purchase this small bottle of pure water.

"Sincerely." The old man smiled and nodded. Chen Pingan hid in the black robe and waved his hand, and the small bottle of Tianjing Water that he had just traded fell into his hand.

Gu Qingchan stood aside and couldn't help but take a closer look at the man in black robe.

Zhu Changlie, who was sitting cross-legged nearby, happened to see this scene.

"Could it be that Fairy Gu is interested in this old monster!?"

However, this thought only flashed through his mind and Zhu Changlie did not think deeply about it.

During a trading meeting, when encountering someone with strong strength, it is normal for Fairy Gu, as the host of the meeting, to pay more attention to him.

"You noticed me."

Chen Pingan is spiritual and has sharp perceptions. Although he has some reservations due to Gu Qingchan's arrival and does not sense recklessly, he still has basic perception and judgment.

"Her realm is not as good as mine, so she shouldn't be able to find it."

Chen Pingan was certain.

Not long after the opening, Tianjingshui was traded, which greatly increased Chen Pingan's confidence in the subsequent transactions.

Then several more Grandmasters mentioned some trading resources and requirements. However, none of them were what Chen Pingan needed.

The black-faced man who had looked at him earlier also displayed the corresponding items and stated his trading needs. He wanted a quasi-divine armor that focused on defense, preferably a soft armor type that would not affect flexibility.

Chen Pingan actually had the item he wanted. The blue scale soft armor on his body completely met the requirements and far exceeded the other party's expectations, reaching the level of a divine weapon.

But unfortunately, Chen Pingan didn’t like the resources the other party was trading.

In fact, even if he liked it, he would not trade this blue scale soft armor casually. If it was the idle magic sword, he could consider it.

Following the order, it was soon Chen Pingan's turn to demonstrate the transaction.

As the previous Grandmaster completed the transaction, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"I need high-grade divine skills. There is no limit to the type of divine skills. The higher the grade, the better. They are mainly purchased with Yuanjing. If the grade is suitable, they can be exchanged for divine weapons."

Chen Ping'an spoke in a low, concise voice, and directly stated the transaction requirements.

It was not surprising that there were other masters like him who directly stated their needs without trading any materials.

"Magic weapon?"

As soon as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, he instantly aroused the interest of many masters.

Divine weapons are precious, even to a master.

This kind of treasure is not enough for one's own use, so how can one easily trade it to others? Unless the compatibility is naturally incompatible, otherwise, even if there is a deviation, it will be directly used for sacrifice.

"He's really rich." The black-faced man sighed, revealing a hint of envy.

The transaction he just made was not ideal. Not only did he not trade many items, he also did not buy what he wanted.

If he had a magic weapon as a bargaining chip, then it would be easy for him to get a protective armor.

"High-grade magical skill?"

Tong Guan showed some hesitation, thought for a moment, and finally decided to give up.

Although he has some skills, which are of a high quality, they were obtained from the Qiankun Division and according to the rules, they cannot be traded to outsiders.

Although there are tricks, the risks are too high and no one would take the risk under normal circumstances.

"My fellow Taoist, may I ask what type of divine weapon it is?"

Zhu Changlie spoke out.

Chen Pingan looked up and said without any emotion: "Do you have any skills?"

"I do have a technique." Zhu Changlie said with a smile, "I just don't know if the magic weapon you have is the type I need."

Although Zhu Changlie was smiling, he didn't give the other party much face in his words.

Although the other party was a top master, he was not too afraid. He had been wandering since childhood and rose from obscurity. He had encountered countless dangers, so he had such courage.

"What type of magic weapon do you need?"

Chen Ping'an's speech made many masters present look stunned and a little surprised.

Ask him directly what type of magic weapon he needs, instead of telling him what he has.

What does this mean?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Changlie was also stunned.

But he reacted quickly.

Bluffing me?

Zhu Changlie frowned slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. But soon he laughed heartily and said calmly: "I need a clever magic weapon that is good at attacking. I wonder if you have it?"

Just as he finished speaking, the man in black robe said coldly: "If the skills are suitable, we can trade!"

Really?
Zhu Changlie was slightly surprised, but then he was delighted: "Daoyou, I have a dragon-catching skill here, which is good at frontal assault, extremely powerful, and also has remarkable flexibility."

"Dragon Catching Skill?" Chen Pingan frowned.

He had heard of this magical skill, which was an upgraded version of the claw skill. It was also considered a relatively powerful type among the magical skills.

If he had encountered this magical skill two years ago, Chen Pingan would not have hesitated and would have definitely mastered it. But now.
A bit tasteless.

Although the Dragon Capturing Technique is good, it is far inferior to the Dragon Elephant Body Domination Technique. Its effect on him is not even better than nothing.

Chen Pingan was disappointed and said bluntly: "The grade is not high enough!"

Ok?
Zhu Changlie was stunned.

"What does this old monster mean?" The dark-faced man looked at the black-robed man not far away and thought in his heart.

The rank of the Dragon Capturing Technique was already quite good, and even for a Grandmaster it was considered a very powerful technique. If one could master it to perfection, the secret technique would be a good killer move.

But this old monster actually felt that it was not enough!
What level of martial arts does he want?

Powerful magic? Top magic? Or
Supreme divine power?

Many masters looked sideways, guessing the real needs of the man in black robe.

"May I ask what level of martial arts fellow Taoist needs?" Zhu Changlie asked.

"The top magic skill or the supreme magic skill!" Chen Pingan said bluntly.

"I disappoint fellow Taoist."

Although Zhu Changlie wanted to trade the magic weapon, his dragon-catching skills did not meet Chen Ping'an's expectations.

"Do you have any other resources you need? Someone is willing to exchange Yuanjing and rare resources for the magic weapon you have."

"I only need magical powers." Chen Pingan flatly refused.

He is now extremely rich and does not need any crystals or resources. He only needs high-grade magical skills.

If there was a special magic weapon, he might consider it, but it was obvious that Zhu Changlie did not have it.

"That's a pity."

Zhu Changlie had no choice but to leave.

The demands put forward by Chen Pingan discouraged other masters who were interested in making the deal and eventually gave up on the transaction plan.

Although some of them have magical skills, their grades are not as good as Zhu Changlie's dragon-catching skill.

The Dragon Capturing Technique didn't even meet the old monster's expectations, let alone them.

Even some of those who wanted to try harder had to give up the idea of ​​fighting for it after hearing the final conversation between the two.

"What is this old weird thinking? Why is his demand so high?" someone secretly said.

"This old monster has accumulated a lot of skills over the years, so he probably has no shortage of common magical skills." Someone sighed.

After waiting for a few moments, no one spoke.

In the end, Chen Pingan's trading expectations were dashed.

"My fellow comrades, I am..."

A master behind Chen Pingan began to speak, displaying the trading items and requirements.

"What a pity." Chen Pingan couldn't hide his disappointment.

Not long after the meeting started, he was traded for Tianjingshui. He was originally full of hope, but reality gave him a heavy blow.

After waiting for nearly a month for the meeting, he did not get the supreme magical skill that he really desired.

"Sure enough. The supreme magic skill is extremely precious even for a master. It cannot be traded at ordinary times." Chen Pingan sighed in his heart.

There wasn't much of a deal at the meeting, so he could probably only think of taking advantage of the treasury of the Provincial Pacification Office.

As the center of a state, the treasures and secrets in the treasury of the State Pacification Office are probably more exaggerated than those of the three great families of Canglong. As long as the merits and levels are sufficient, the corresponding resources can be exchanged from it.

The main reason why Chen Ping'an had no intention of seizing the treasury of the State Pacification Office before was that his merits and rank were not enough.

If he wants to exchange for a supreme magical skill, it would probably be difficult even if he shows the level of a grandmaster in reality.

but
If it was a great master, then maybe.
That’s another matter.

Chen Pingan was planning in his mind.

As long as he can achieve the Grandmaster level in public and then be promoted to the candidate for Chief, he will be qualified enough to exchange the supreme magic skills at the treasury of the State Pacification Office.

At that time, what he really needs to consider is the issue of merit.

Chen Ping'an thought about it for a while and found that among several possible methods, this one was the most feasible.

Although I am reluctant to do so, it seems that this is the only way if I want to obtain a supreme skill as soon as possible.

"However." Chen Pingan's eyes narrowed slightly: "How to break through the realm on the surface, the specific matters still need to be planned."

Gu Qingchan looked at the man in black robe not far away, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed to her.

From the beginning, she had been keeping an eye on this man in black robe.

"he"

A strange light flashed in Gu Qingchan's beautiful eyes.

"Fairy Gu?"

As the transaction just failed, Zhu Changlie's mind was a little distracted and he was not fully focused on the transaction at the meeting. He looked around bored and inadvertently saw Gu Qingchan.

His eyes were quickly attracted by Gu Qingchan's eyes that were as bright as stars.

He didn't dare to look at it any longer, for fear of attracting Gu Qingchan's attention.

But just as he was about to look away, he noticed that Gu Qingchan's eyes had changed.

That look was definitely not the one one would have when looking at a stranger, or even a good friend. The colors and ripples in it were as if one was looking at a lover.

Lover?

Zhu Changlie was startled by the sudden thought that came to his mind.

He couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw the man in black robe sitting cross-legged.

"This"

Zhu Changlie was a little confused.

What's going on? (End of this chapter)
