I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 25: The Expressionless Young Swordsman

Clang!
There was a sound of a long sword being unsheathed.

The table and chair in front of Master Jian were instantly split in two. However, Master Jian had already anticipated what would happen. The extremely sharp sword energy was disintegrated into nothingness by the sword energy around him as soon as it came in front of him.

"But I'm your uncle!"

Young Master Jian jumped to the side, stared at the direction where the sword came from with his eyes wide open.

She was a young girl in her teens, wearing a lavender dress. She was as pretty as a picture, with clear eyes. Although she had no expression on her face, her beauty was not diminished in the slightest.

At this time, a sheathed sword stood beside the girl, and the sword was already exposed four or five centimeters.

The sword energy that instantly split the table and chairs just now came from that point on the sword blade.

This is a spiritual instrument.

It is the best sword among magic weapons and also a flying sword that many sword practitioners dream of.

After all, the only thing higher than this level is the psychic treasure.

"Then why are you confusing me with this devil?" The girl widened her eyes and looked at Master Jian with dissatisfaction. When she was a child, she didn't understand why the head of the Dong family would be the father of her son-in-law instead of her uncle, but now she has understood the decision of her grandma and grandpa.

This guy is really unreliable.

"Do you still want to read this letter?" Young Master Jian said with a frown.

"Look……"

The girl said this in a very unconfident manner, because she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little guilty.

Maybe I didn’t wake up today…

"Then you beg me?" Young Master Jian smiled and took the letter away.

"Uncle, could you please not be so unworthy of your name?" The girl had a wooden face and glanced at Master Jian. Although her expression did not change, the meaning was very clear - please don't be so mean, old man.

"What's wrong with my name?" Young Master Jian disagreed. When he went out, he still hated evil and was as hostile as ever!
"Then I won't watch it." The girl said expressionlessly.

"Then I have to show it to you!" When Master Jian heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, then opened the letter and threw it in front of the girl.

The girl still had a wooden face, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Not long after, the girl finished reading the letter, resisting the urge to twitch her lips, she looked at Master Jian and asked, "Uncle, isn't he afraid of being beaten to death for asking for money like this?"

Although she was born in the Dong family of Tianjian Mansion, and her daily expenses alone required the use of hundreds of Shangxuan Seals, she was not someone who was unaware of the value of a Shangxuan Seal.

A refining material called "Taiyi Jingjin" can be refined from gold, but it is extremely difficult to obtain. On average, for every ten kilograms of gold, only less than one tael of Taiyi Jingjin can be obtained.

And such precious Taiyi Jingjin could be exchanged for one or two taels from the imperial court with just ten Shangxuan seals.

It is precisely relying on this exchange mechanism that the Shangxuan Seal has become the recognized practice currency in the twenty-five states of the Jiawu Realm.

The Ning family, who dominated Xizhou City, could collect 10,000 Shangxuan Seals every year. It was not because Xizhou City was poor, but because the Ning family was plundering too ruthlessly!
Digging three feet into the ground is not enough to describe it. To talk about the territory of Xizhou City, one has to look nine feet above your head to find a god.

"When he went to the Jianxia Sect, did he look like he was afraid of being beaten to death?" Young Master Jian couldn't help but twitch his lips when he talked about this.

Because it was he who helped to make the rubbings of "Tan Shuchang's Cultivation Diary".

Not only did he read them originally, he also kept them now.

The girl fell silent upon hearing this.

Because that certainly doesn't look like he's afraid of being beaten to death...

But when she talked about this, the girl's eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly: "He killed the Black-hearted Old Man. It seems that this Black-hearted Old Man is a member of the righteous plan of Tujian Mountain, right? In order to avoid losing the trace of the Black-hearted Old Man, Qinghe City has stationed many disciples of Tujian Mountain."

After saying this, the girl found that her unreliable uncle was looking at her with an intriguing look. "Hey, you still say he's not your lover? You're showing concern for him so quickly!"

The girl had a wooden face and without hesitation, she drew her sword again.

Clang!
"You're a girl, why are you so fierce?" Young Master Jian dodged quickly. After all, he was an elder and was embarrassed to attack a junior.

Of course, there is no harm in taking action, but I am afraid that I have never fought before...

"All demon cultivators are so vicious!" The girl had no expression on her face.

"But you are a swordsman! Don't give up on yourself!"

Then the girl chopped even harder.

……

"Why hasn't the Ning family's money arrived yet?" In Qinghe City, Tan Shuchang was a little puzzled. Luozhou was not far from Yuezhou, so it should have arrived the fastest.

But now, out of the three letters he wrote, the other two have returned with fifty Shangxuan seals.

The only thing is that the letter sent to the Ning family in Xizhou City, Luozhou, has not yet returned with the Xuan Seal.

"It's different now that Lord Ning has become a high-ranking official..." Tan Shuchang thought so, and without hesitation, he took the letter he had written in advance and came to the door of a house.

This family is inconspicuous in Qinghe City.

However, many people know about this place because these are the people who stayed here during the Zixuan Dynasty.

There is no county government office in Qinghe City, so those who practice cultivation and want to contact the imperial court have to go through here.

Tan Shuchang knocked on the door and it opened quickly.

The people inside were also cultivators, and they had sensed his arrival long ago, so they came out to greet him immediately. Those who could stay here were naturally flexible in mind and good at dealing with people.

"Young Master Tan?" The door opened and the visitor recognized Tan Shuchang.

Just as Qiu Junlin is famous, the name Tan Shuchang is also quite famous in the court.

The Zixuan Dynasty ruled over 17 states, and the Tan family controlled 13 states.

"Your Excellency is too polite. Let's not mention what the young master said. Today, I, Tan, am just a cultivator. If your Excellency thinks highly of me, we can call each other fellow Taoists." Tan Shuchang said.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, my surname is Xu, and my given name is Zhang He."

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

"Please come in!"

"That's not necessary. I'm here just for a small matter. Please, Fellow Daoist Xu, pass this letter to the current emperor." Tan Shuchang took out the letter.

He really dares to do it without paying.

"To His Majesty?" Xu Zhanghe was shocked, but then he had an idea and quickly put the letter away.

When other practitioners wrote letters to the emperor, the emperor would basically not read them unless they were very famous.

But if it was Tan Shuchang... then it's really hard to say.

Tan Shuchang left immediately, and Xu Zhanghe first had someone check the letter carefully. After confirming that it was non-toxic and without any curse marks, he sealed it and immediately sent it to Jingzhou overnight through "Shui Lingzun".

The next day, in Jingzhou, inside the imperial palace, the emperor, who was in his prime, had read the letter but said nothing. He just summoned the crown prince and asked him how to deal with the matter.
