Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 107 The Weakest of the Three Swords
On the other side, inside the princess’s mansion.

After Gou Xiangxi left in a hurry, Zhao Qi'an thought he would have a rare day of leisure.

But just after lunch, Chou Nu came back from outside, looking like he was in a very good mood.

She had just finished running errands for Zhao Qian'an and delivered some things to the Health Center.

If Zhao Qian'an asked her to run errands somewhere else, Chounu would definitely not be happy, but she would be happy to go to the Health Hall.

Because I can see the lovely Miss Eight again.

When she came back, Zhao Qi'an had just finished his meal, so she came over and helped clean up the dishes.

While cleaning up, Chou Nu said to Zhao Qian'an, "By the way, Master, Master Tie asked me to ask you, have you chosen someone to replace him?"

This sentence stumped Zhao Qian.

A few days ago, Tie Wuhen resigned and prepared to leave Yangshengtang.

He also agreed to this.

However, Tie Wuhen is a responsible person and wants to wait until Zhao Qi'an finds someone to replace him before leaving Kyoto City.

Zhao Qian'an had thought about it, but it was not easy to find someone who could replace Tie Wuhen and take charge of the Yangsheng Hall. He even thought about letting Old Nie stay in the Yangsheng Hall for a while.

It’s just that Old Nie is powerful enough, but asking a deaf-mute old man to teach the children in the hall how to practice... this is really a bit difficult.

What's more, Mr. Nie's personality makes him not willing to deal with such troublesome matters. If he refuses, Zhao Qian'an can't do anything about it.

Then there was the Jingzhou bloodbath, and the emperor bestowing an official title on him...all these things happened one after another, and he was delayed as a result.

Zhao Qi'an had no choice but to say, "I'm still discussing the candidate to replace Master Tie. But if Master Tie is impatient, it's okay for him to leave Yangsheng Hall first."

But unexpectedly, the ugly slave said, "Master Tie said that if you haven't decided on a candidate yet, he has someone he wants to introduce to you."

"Oh?"

This... was somewhat beyond Zhao Qian's expectations.

Zhao Qi'an asked, "Did Master Tie tell me the identity of that person?"

Ugly slave shook his head and said, "How would I know? But he looks like a scholar with a bookish air, about forty years old. It seems that he is an old friend of Master Tie who came to visit him, and he brought a little girl with him."

"Did you see anyone?"

"Yes, I have. He is sitting in the Health Hall. Master Tie said that if you are interested, you can go to the Health Hall to see him."

Zhao Qi'an pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll go see him this afternoon."

Being considered by Master Tie as a qualified candidate to succeed him... this actually aroused Zhao Qian'an's strong interest.

……

In the north of the city, in Zhao’s Health Hall.

There were several people sitting in the front hall.

Among them was a man and a woman, who appeared to be father and daughter.

The man was wearing a white robe, and although he was a bit old, one could tell he was quite dashing in his youth. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had such handsome eyebrows and eyes.

The girl was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face, but her expression was a little cold, and she seemed a little indifferent to everything.

The man was holding the teacup, feeling a little restless. He looked up at Tie Wuhen who was sitting opposite him and said, "Brother Tie, I think my daughter and I should leave. It is a blessing to meet you today."

Tie Wuhen said: "Brother Chu came to Kyoto City for the purpose of building the martial arts foundation of your niece. If you want to join other people in Kyoto City, why don't you want to work under my boss?" Chu Xuan smiled bitterly.

His meeting Tie Wuhen was actually just a coincidence.

It is a joy to meet old friends.

However, he had no intention of joining the Zhao family. He came to Kyoto City originally wanting to serve under the prince.

As for which prince it will be...I haven't decided yet.

He knew that the Zhao family was rich.

But what he wants cannot be bought with money.

Chu Xuan had already thought about leaving, but every time he wanted to leave, Tie Wuhen persuaded him not to leave.

"I have already sent someone to inform the boss. Even if you want to leave, Brother Chu, why don't you meet the boss first? Listen to the conditions the boss is willing to offer, just as a comparison of prices, right?"

Having said this, Chu Xuan had no choice but to sit back.

Tie Wuhen was enthusiastic. He ordered someone to serve tea again and said to Chu Xuan, "Brother Chu, how did you know that I was in Kyoto?"

Chu Xuan said vaguely, "A few days ago, I visited a friend in the capital. That friend has some connections in the Patrol Observatory. He saw the documents you recorded in the Observatory and knew that you were also in the capital, so he told me."

Tie Wuhen did not suspect anything, and suddenly said, "I guess this is because I was summoned by the Patrol Heavenly Observatory when I entered the realm of supernatural powers and met him when I went to the Observatory to re-record the documents. Who is this friend of Brother Chu? Do I know him?"

"Brother Tie doesn't recognize it."

Seeing that Tie Wuhen wanted to ask more questions, Chu Xuan changed the subject: "Brother Tie actually achieved a breakthrough with an eight-line embryo? Then how have you been doing these years..."

Speaking of this, Tie Wuhen really didn't want to ask the previous question anymore. He sighed and said, "As I get older, I feel that my blood and energy have begun to dry up this year. If I don't break through, I'm afraid I won't even be able to break through the eighth-grade Yuantai. What else can I do if I don't break through?"

Without reaching the third level of magical power, a warrior's vitality will gradually dry up as he ages.

As for a cultivator at the fourth level of Yuantai realm, once his blood begins to dry up, there will be no hope of condensing another purple pattern.

If the fetus is not aborted immediately, as the blood becomes increasingly depleted, I'm afraid there will be no hope of aborting the fetus.

Tie Wuhen became less persistent when he realized that his blood was beginning to dry up, and the attack on Yangsheng Hall also gave him a way out, so he took the opportunity to break the fetus, and used the eight-patterned fetus to condense a flawless body, thus advancing to the realm of supernatural powers.

Chu Xuan was silent for a while, and then said, "It is possible that an eight-patterned Yuantai can achieve the first-grade Dao. In any case, it is a good thing for Brother Tie to advance to the third-grade. From now on, his body will be immortal and his supernatural powers will manifest. He can also be called a 'land immortal' in the secular world."

Tie Wuhen knew that his old friend was trying to comfort him, so he smiled and said, "I think so too, so I am ready to re-enter the martial arts world and hone my sword skills. One day, I will fight against the King of Chu, one of the three swordsmen in the world."

Chu Xuan, however, showed embarrassment, coughed lightly, and said, "It's just an empty name, why do you care so much about it, Brother Tie... But why did you fight with the King of Chu?"

Tie Wuhen said solemnly: "You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. It is said that the King of Chu is the weakest of the Three Swordsmen in the World..."

"nonsense!"

For some unknown reason, Chu Xuan became furious: "Leaving aside the Donghua Sword Immortal, why is Nie Wudi ranked above the Chu Renwang?"

Tie Wuhen looked at him in surprise: "It's just a rumor, why is Brother Chu reacting so strongly?"

Chu Xuan was suddenly embarrassed: "I..."

Before he could think of a good excuse, someone outside came to report.

"Master Tie, the boss is here."
