Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 183 Ximen Chuixue, bewildered after being beaten

After the transaction was completed, the group toured the Mystic Beast Island under Cha Nan's guidance, seeing all sorts of magical mythical beasts. Some of them then left with their own thoughts on the matter.

After seeing off Xiang Wentian, Yan Kuangtu, Ye Kai, and Qiao Beiming, Lu Xiaofeng let out a long breath, his expression not looking too good.

"Watch out for Qiao Beiming!" Lu Xiaofeng warned Cha Nan.

Cha Nan nodded. Although Qiao Beiming seemed to have some manners, he was, after all, a member of the evil path and would certainly not follow the rules.

He almost emptied his pockets to trade for a large number of Cloud Sea Deer. Such behavior either indicates that he is desperate and has reached the point of being blinded by greed in order to achieve a certain goal, or that he plans to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack, take back what he gave away, or even demand more.

In Cha Nan's view, he should have both.

Qiao Beiming possessed exceptional martial arts skills, having fused righteousness and evil within himself, reaching the point where he could transform evil into righteous energy. However, despite his high level of cultivation, he was still consistently outmatched by Zhang Danfeng, making it difficult for him to lead the evil sects to dominate the martial arts world.

Now, with the help of Yun Hailu, and who knows what kind of bloody storm he will stir up in his martial arts world with his high mobility.

"I understand! Thank you!" Cha Nan replied to Lu Xiaofeng.

Although Cha Nan would have thought of it in a few days even if Lu Xiaofeng hadn't reminded him, they were still friends. The fact that Lu Xiaofeng reminded him after Qiao Beiming left shows that compared to those casual acquaintances, Lu Xiaofeng at least truly considered Cha Nan a friend.

“Don’t take it lightly. If it’s just Qiao Beiming, with your abilities and the masters on your island, you certainly won’t be afraid. But if he gathers more experts, you’ll have a headache!” Lu Xiaofeng said.

Cha Nan laughed and said, "Alright! Saying the same thing twice is so nagging, it's not like you, Lu Xiaoji!"

"I've recently brewed a few more jars of fine wine, would you like some?"

Lu Xiaofeng said irritably, "I'm worried that my investment will be completely lost. You have to remember that I also invested a portion in the construction of this island."

"Yes! Yes! Once the manor is finished, I'll definitely reserve the room with the biggest bed and the best lighting for you!" Cha Nan said.

At this point, Cha Nan suddenly realized that most of the ancient world did not have glass.

But wouldn't a seaside villa be missing half the view if it didn't have large floor-to-ceiling windows?

"It seems I can unlock the Palu Mine Glass Building Group and bring over more large glass windows from the Fantasy Beast World," Cha Nan thought to himself.

Unlocking the Palu Mine Glass Building Module was something Cha Nan had considered long ago.

After all, the main building materials of this module are Paru ore fragments and stones, and both of these materials have been proven to be products rich in primordial energy. Therefore, houses built with these two materials may have average defensive capabilities, but they will definitely have the effect of gathering primordial energy, which is beneficial for people to cultivate internal energy and improve their internal strength inside.

This will also be a major selling point for Fantasy Island to attract talent.

Cha Nan's expectations for Fantasy Beast Island have long since transcended that of a mere island with fantastical beasts, a place for shopping, leisure, and entertainment. It is a sacred place for martial arts exchange and innovation in the future.

Isolated overseas, with abundant resources and able to supply itself through the world of fantasy beasts, the self-sufficient Fantasy Beast Island will be able to remain invincible in the face of the old era's counterattack once it begins to promote new methods of martial arts exchange and learning.

Of course, to prevent the fortified fortress from being breached from within, Cha Nan would place true 'his own people' in key positions on the island.

He can't turn everyone who comes to the island into a Paru, but as long as he captures the key figures, even if there are still people with ulterior motives, they won't be able to cause any real harm.

After all, the island is ruled not only by humans, but also by countless mythical beasts.

"You said it yourself, everyone heard it!" Lu Xiaofeng said happily, as if he had really gained a great advantage.

Back in the living room, Spider had already instructed the maids to bring in wine and food. The table was laden with not only the fine wine Cha Nan had brewed in the world of magical beasts, but also steamed fresh grouper, arm-length lobsters, plump clam meat, large, bright red crabs that still looked like they were about to pounce, and some magical beast meat that Cha Nan had brought back from the world of magical beasts. The table was overflowing with food, the aroma so enticing it made one's mouth water.

Unfortunately, the method was still a bit too simple. Although Guo Fu had finally figured it out, she could only improve by knowing what she knew, and she still wouldn't know what she didn't know.

For example, Huang Rong's cooking skills were something she never learned, so naturally there was no room for improvement.

Otherwise, the food on this table could have tasted even better.

As the host, Cha Nan poured wine, first serving Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing, and Hua Manlou, but when he reached Ximen Chuixue, he put down the wine pot and prepared to pour tea.

“I can drink!” Simon Chuixue said.

"Huh?" Cha Nan was taken aback. He vaguely remembered that Ximen Chuixue didn't drink alcohol because it would affect his speed and reaction ability.

Although the impact is actually negligible for experts, such as Xie Xiaofeng, who returned as a sword god after years of alcoholism, Ximen Chuixue clearly cares about it.

Why did you suddenly start drinking?
Just because you're married doesn't mean you'll become corrupt!
Is married life really that devastating for a man?
Lu Xiaofeng noticed Cha Nan's confusion, so he stepped in to explain, "Ximen has met his match!"

"Not an opponent!"

"I am no match for him, I am far from being his match!" Ximen Chuixue corrected him, emphasizing each word.

"Good! Good! Good! You're no match for him. You lost to him easily, and even seven times in a row." Lu Xiaofeng exposed Ximen Chuixue's secrets.

"Oh!" Cha Nan was surprised. There must be many masters who are more skilled than Ximen Chuixue, but for him to admit defeat like this, it must be because he is truly convinced of the skill of swordsmanship.

Who could that be?

Dugu Qiubai? Yan Shisan? Xie Xiaofeng? Zhang Danfeng?

Although these people are all very skilled in swordsmanship, it seems that it is still not enough to say that they can defeat Ximen Chuixue seven times in a row and even cause Ximen Chuixue's mentality to be affected.

"Who is it? Although I have never seen you draw your sword, I have seen Lu Xiaoji's swordsmanship. Even he said it was not even half as good as yours. So who could defeat you seven times and still make you so convinced?" Cha Nan asked directly.

He wasn't trying to reopen old wounds, because it was obvious that the conversation was heading in that direction, and the person involved didn't seem to care.

"Waves overturn clouds!"

"The Rain-Covering Sword, the Waves Overturn the Clouds!"

"He drinks, he's an alcoholic, and he hasn't touched a sword for years. He says that only by being extreme in emotion can one be extreme in swordsmanship... I can't understand it!"

"With emotion, swordsmanship will hesitate. When facing the opponent's sword, one will want to dodge, and the strike will not be swift enough. Why is it that only by being extremely emotional can one be extremely skilled in swordsmanship, and only then can one's swordsmanship reach such a level?" Ximen Chuixue picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp.

"Ah, this..." Cha Nan was speechless. Ximen Chuixue's appearance clearly indicated that he was being led astray by Lang Fanyun!

The original Ximen Chuixue was first ruthless, then moved into emotion, and finally ruthless again, which is one of the extreme realms of the ruthless sword path. It is a path that is both emotional and ruthless.

However, at this moment, Ximen Chuixue is clearly being drawn into the path of the sword with affection, and it is unknown whether he can still become the white-robed sword saint who is as cold as snow and as sharp as a blade.
