Chapter 106 Making Friends Through Martial Arts

In the Medicine King Hall, there was a lot of chatter. It was the coldest month of winter, but the faces of the clerks and apprentices in the hall were glowing, and they looked excitedly at the young men surrounded by them.

Junior Brother Chen Ku.

He is only seventeen years old this year.

He could actually become one of the top ten young masters in the city.

The most important thing about this list is not the young people in Baojiao County, but the ones who were ranked after many dragons, tigers and leopards from Fucheng entered Baojiao County. Needless to say, the gold content is high.

Such a young genius is right next to him, in their Medicine King Hall, how can he not be honored?

Chen Ku frowned looking at the list.

To be honest, since he was reborn in this martial arts world, he has always followed the path of safety and stability, accumulating food and building walls.

Anything that is not on the list has no appeal to him.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Especially young people.

It is the time when we are striving for fame and fortune, and putting such a list on young people, whether they like it or not, is regarded as a target. They need to be watched and evaluated by the world, and it is related to their own honor and disgrace. It's not a good thing to get involved.

Especially the ranking on this list.

In Chen Ku's opinion, it was even more sinister.

In this list, the number one young master in the city is not controversial. He is Xie Qingfeng, the thirteenth young master of the Xie family of Chaitiepu, who has already reached the level of the older generation.

The Thirteenth Young Master Xie, who is twenty-eight years old this year, is already a rare master of the Four Realms in the city. He has opened up all the meridians in his body, slowed down his pulse and heartbeat, and his internal organs are clean and tidy. He is able to survive without doing anything. The limit level of human life span exists.

Twenty-eight-year-old Xie Qingfeng practiced the "Nine Swords of Changing the Sun" which has been passed down by Chai Tiepu for hundreds of years. When he was only fifteen years old, he entered the country. When he was twenty years old, he traveled to four prefectures and eight counties. Not only in Baojiao County, but also in other prefectures and counties, he has left a reputation as a handsome young man with peerless swordsmanship.

It can be said that the Thirteenth Young Master is basically the authentic archway of the younger generation in Baojiao County. After it is erected, no one will question the Thirteenth Young Master's reputation and strength.

Even though many well-known young masters from Qiu Long came to Fucheng years ago, they could not take away Xie Qingfeng's brilliance.

But under Xie Qingfeng, it was different.

The second ranked young man is no longer a young man from Baojiao County, but a young man from Qiulong Mansion named ‘Yu Dao’.

Yu Dao was nicknamed "Shen Dao Yu" by the people in Qiu Long Mansion. No one knew where he was taught by. They only knew that he had lightning-fast sword skills. At the age of twenty-five, he had already killed the Four Realms Master. He is an older generation master of pulse.

After Yu Dao, those ranked third, fourth, fifth and sixth were basically all young masters from Fucheng.

Only in seventh place did the name of a young man from Baojiao County appear.

She is the number one genius among this generation of disciples in the Fish and Dragon Society. Her name is Ning Jiuzhen. She is a woman. She is the direct daughter of the Ning family, one of the eight major clans in Baojiao County in the city. She has never dealt with the outside world. She doesn't make many friends, and she has always been in the Ning family's small building on East Street. She never goes out or steps out of the second door, but everyone knows that she is a unique female genius, and she also has a peerless appearance.

The eighth place is the son of Lord Shangguan. Shangguan Qian is only eighteen years old this year, but he has already entered the realm of perfect inner energy. As the son of the number one man in the city, he is not well-known in Baojiao County, but he has no People doubted the talent, character, and strength of this 'young master'.

Chen Ku ranked ninth.

The tenth one is Zhao Chuanzu of the ‘Ancient Elephant Sect’ who came from Fucheng. It is said that he practices a martial arts move called ‘Nine-Dragon Combination’, which is a unique skill of the Ancient Elephant Sect and is rare in the martial arts world.

The eleventh is the style of Chaitiepu in Baojiao County.

…

In the Medicine King Hall.

Just when everyone was talking about this list, they looked at Chen Kuzhi with envy and pride.

A man walked in from outside the hall and said to Chen Ku:

"Junior Brother Chen Ku, this list has evil intentions. Don't fall for it."

Chen Ku raised his head.

The man walking over was wearing an embroidered silk and satin coat like him. The only difference was that there was a group of flowers embroidered on his chest, with the word "福" hidden in the flowers.

He is in his thirties and has a beard on his lips.

"It's Senior Brother Lan!"

"Salute to Senior Brother Lan."

When the waiters and apprentices in the front hall saw the visitor, they immediately restrained their expressions and saluted Lan Fuxi solemnly and respectfully.

"Senior Brother Lan."

Chen Ku also handed over to the visitor.

Lan Fuxi, the direct disciple of Cao Shouxiong, the third shopkeeper of Yaowangtang, was accepted ten years ago. He is now thirty years old and has a profound level of cultivation.

He had some affection for Shopkeeper Three, a shopkeeper who had climbed up from the bottom, but he didn't know much about Senior Brother Lan. Although he felt some malice in this list, he still pretended not to know and asked for advice:

"Senior Brother Lan, why do you say this list has evil intentions?"

"Can you really not see it?"

Lan Fuxi solemnly said to Chen Ku:

"This list only deliberately selects one young person from each faction in the county and ranks it as a target. The purpose is actually to cause internal strife among the young people. Take Junior Brother Qi Chen as an example, you have indeed become a target now. With inner energy cultivation, but in our Medicine King Hall.

Huo Xiaoxia, the disciple of the old farmer, Zhang Renfeng, the disciple of the second shopkeeper, and Kou Ming, the successor of the first shopkeeper...

These three senior brothers and sisters are all under thirty years old, but most of their cultivation has reached the profound realm.

Therefore, among the disciples of Yaowang Hall, your cultivation is actually the lowest, but you are placed on the list. What do the three senior brothers and sisters in the hall think?

Everyone has a competitive spirit. Several senior brothers and sisters are older than you, and their cultivation is also better than you, but they are not on the list...

This is clearly a conspiracy by those outsiders in Qiulong Mansion to make us young people in Baojiao County fight among ourselves. "

Hearing Lan Fuxi's words.

The fellow apprentices in the hall were all aware of it later, and immediately filled with righteous indignation:

"Senior Brother Lan really woke me up with one word. Indeed, this is indeed a list with ulterior motives!"

Chen Ku heard Lan Fuxi speak out his thoughts, and his words were sincere. He thought to himself: "This senior brother is a person who speaks his mind. He is a good person. ”

I immediately bowed: "Brother, what you said makes sense. I understand. I will not take this list seriously. Don't worry, I will go find the three brothers and sisters and invite them to dinner to eliminate the barriers between our brothers in the Medicine King Hall. We will never be provoked by outsiders. "

"As long as you don't take it seriously, the three brothers and sisters will not have any quarrels with you because of such a thing." Lan Fuxi warned.

He was afraid that Chen Ku was too young and had a bright future, but his mentality was floating, which was the problem that affected the harmony of brothers.

Unexpectedly, not long after Lan Fuxi finished speaking.

A voice came from outside the hall, laughing: "Brother Lan from the Medicine King Hall is really demonizing our people from the capital city by saying this. "

Chen Ku, Lan Fuxi and even the people in the hall looked outside the hall when they heard the voice.

A person wearing a blue long gown, with fair complexion, willow-shaped eyebrows and delicate facial features, walked in. She was a woman dressed like a man.

It was this kind of neutral and soft image of a woman dressed as a man that made many customers in the store brighten up, and they could feel the temperament of this woman.

"Who are you? Who is she?" Lan Fuxi frowned.

The woman dressed as a man, holding a folding fan in her hand, bowed slightly to Lan Fuxi and Chen Ku, and had two dimples on her face when she smiled, and her voice was soft and beautiful:

"I am Mingshengnan, the person who ranked the list for all the young generation in the city."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone in Yaowang Hall was shocked.

Lan Fuxi's face changed, and a trace of seriousness immediately emerged: "Mingshengnan, the heir of the famous family in this generation of Qiulong Mansion, who is known as the "know-it-all" in the martial arts world, is actually a woman. "

Famous family?

Chen Ku suddenly remembered that he seemed to see a person with the same name on the cover of "Qiulong Monster List", and his author was Ming Qianqiu.

From Senior Brother Lan, he heard that this family seemed to be a group of people who liked to rank various things.

But he changed his mind and thought to himself:

"Since ancient times, the "know-it-alls" who ranked others have all died a miserable death, unless this famous family has the foundation to support this "backlash." "

He could also understand the significance of this kind of list, which is similar to a Jianghu tabloid, and can create profits behind it, such as the Qiulong Monster List. According to Jiang Shaoyou, such a list... For decades, at the price of one or two silver coins per copy, hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold in Qiulong Mansion. Almost every hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt must have a copy.

"Women are not necessarily inferior to men, so my mother named me Shengnan. "

Mingshengnan tapped his palm with a folding fan and said to Lan Fuxi:

"Just now, Brother Lan said that ranking the young masters in the city is a bad idea and wants to cause infighting among your internal forces. This is wrong, please take it back, Brother Lan."

"Why is it wrong?" Lan Fuxi sneered, "Is my questioning wrong? There are obviously more powerful people in the major forces, but you chose to compile people like Junior Brother Chen Ku who have not yet grown up into the list. Isn't it to make other brothers in the hall feel jealous and dissatisfied with Junior Brother Chen?"

"My Ming family has always been fair and just in making the list. Brother Lan...you don't understand the requirements of my ranking this time. "

Mingshengnan said:

"I am not ranking by strength this time, so Brother Lan and other people in the city who are not bad in strength are not on the list. The reason is... I am ranking based on 'potential' this time, so this list is also called the 'Potential Dragon List'. The worst of these people on the list have the potential to cultivate the fourth realm 'Passage' with 100% certainty, and Brother Lan, or the several young masters in your hall... The reason why you can't be on the list is that you... Although you have reached the Xuanguan realm, you are not 100% sure that you can cultivate the fourth realm Passage. "

Lan Fuxi was stunned.

Then he was ashamed and angry.

Finally, thinking of the background of the Ming family and the hurtful words the other party said, he had to clench his fists and endure.

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.

He and several other people in the hall did not have absolute confidence and dared to guarantee that they would reach the level of their master in the future.

But Junior Brother Chen Ku was indeed different.

Chen Ku also frowned slightly at this time. Although he had great confidence in his future, he was also puzzled. He took a half step forward and asked:

"How did Miss Ming know that I could definitely cultivate the four realms of the meridians?"

"As for personal potential and style, I have been writing lists for hundreds of years, and I have already developed a method of identifying people. Brother Chen's three-day Qi-sensing, half-month Qi-sufficient cultivation speed... is not a secret." The famous man Wei Wei He smiled and said: "Coupled with Brother Chen's strength and strength, your future achievements will definitely not be lower than those of the Five Realms."

Chen Ku secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It turned out to be based on these calculations.

Then he would be relieved.

Because there is an obvious lag in the other party's information, at least, he is standing here now, but the other party does not know that he is actually very angry.

If it is blessed by the three pictures, it will have the power of perfect inner energy.

Lan Fuxi was still very dissatisfied with this famous lady who compiled and ranked others without permission, and snorted: "Even so, if you put Junior Brother Chen on your list without permission, you will also cause trouble for Junior Brother Chen. "

Just saying.

Then I heard a carriage stop outside Yaowang Hall, and then someone got off the carriage, took a letter of greeting, and shouted outside the door:

"Young Master Zhao Chuanzu of the Ancient Xiangmen, I have invited Young Master Chen Ku from the Medicine King Hall to attend a banquet at the Liangjiang Guild Hall and use martial arts to make friends. This is my greeting."

The man entered the Medicine King Hall.

He raised his hands above his head, lowered his head slightly, and let the greeting card fall in front of Chen Ku.

Chen Ku frowned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the famous man.

Lan Fuxi was furious when he saw this. What he just said was referring to Ming Shengnan and shouted:

"What else do you have to say now? Look, because of your 'Hidden Dragon List', trouble is now coming to your doorstep. My junior brother was put on someone's radar for no reason, and you still said you didn't mean any harm?"

Chen Kuye looked at Feng Shengnan with an unkind look.

Wait for the other party's reply.

He even suspected that these people from the city all came from the same place. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the famous man came to Yaowangtang uninvited to explain the list, and Zhao Chuanzu, who was ranked under him, was sent 'Gauntlet'.

"I just explained that the appearance of the list is not to cause internal strife in your county or hall, but the people on the list compete for ranking. This is indeed the original meaning."

The famous man said slowly:

"I am always fair, but if Brother Chen really feels that you don't want to accept this kind of invitation and letter of challenge, just refuse it directly. After all, our Daji Dynasty has the law of the king. If you don't accept the letter of challenge, it will not break the law."

"But it's a disgrace to the reputation." Lan Fuxi sneered.

Chen Ku smiled directly and said: "It doesn't matter, I refuse. I don't have much reputation anyway."

For no reason, why did he accept all the personal challenge invitations?

"reject?"

The expression of the boy who delivered the letter also changed slightly:

"this……"

"Go back and tell Mr. Zhao that I'm not interested in him. Let's see him off."

Chen Ku waved his hand and said to the others.

Lan Fuxi was also slightly stunned, but then nodded in agreement. Yes, Junior Brother Chen doesn't have much reputation yet, so he doesn't need to be kidnapped by this list.

"This messenger, please go back." On the contrary, it was the famous man who actually spoke up at this time and said to the messenger: "For no reason, Brother Chen really has no need to agree to Zhao Shaoxia's invitation."

The messenger was silent for a moment, then left in dejection.

The famous man then raised his hand to Chen Ku and said: "Brother Chen, this list is not directed at anyone. If Brother Chen encounters something like this again in the future, I don't want to get involved in conflicts. Just refuse like this time and say goodbye." ”

Chen Ku and Lan Fu were happy to see Ming Shengnan leave.

Chen Ku said happily to Lan Fu: "Now that this matter is settled, I will go and pay my respects to the master."

Lan Fuxi's will was shaken by Ming Shengnan's words.

Without saying anything more, he nodded silently.

In the inner courtyard of Yang Luchan.

"Disciple, please greet Master." Chen Ku saluted respectfully.

"Junior brother, I heard that you were on some list, but I wasn't even on it..." Yang Shaoqi appeared from behind Chen Ku and put his hand on his shoulder: "This is a good thing, let's go to Hongyan Tower to rub it in Dayton.”

Chen Ku was a little dumbfounded and said: "Brother, you didn't see me in the front hall just now. It's not a good thing to be on this list. Someone has come to challenge me."

"challenge?"

Yang Luchan sat on the Taishi chair and asked with interest.

Soon.

I heard the whole story from Chen Kun.

He chuckled and said:

"Then what are you afraid of? Isn't it just a challenge? He's just a descendant of the Ancient Elephant Sect from the inner city. Although his family's Nine Dragons Hebi does have some skills, you have already mastered the first style of the Thousand-junk Stick of the Tyrannical Ape. With your The Four Elephant Root Bones can be said to be invincible below the entrance level.”

Chen Ku coughed and said, "Master, this disciple is not aggressive in his life."
