Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

If he were to become a cripple like Yun Zhongjun, that would be interesting.

To Da Siming's surprise, Xu Qing didn't say anything, which made Da Siming feel quite bored, so she could only focus her attention back on Shao Siming Hei Bai.

Within the Wood Department, there are naturally places for disciples to practice and hone their skills.

However, this time, the Lesser Master of Fate and the Greater Master of Fate did not choose to spar in that kind of place.

Upon entering the courtyard at the entrance of the residence, one finds a vibrant scene filled with trees and flowers.

The High Priestess raised her hand, and crimson energy rose from her palm, like a burning flame.

"Little sister, be careful!"

As they spoke, Da Siming flashed and attacked Xiao Hei.

Despite the fierce attacks from the Great Master of Fate, Xiao Hei remained calm, her footwork as light as a butterfly, her figure moving with ease amidst the crimson aura.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, leaves from the surrounding trees fell one after another, arriving first and swirling around her palms. Facing the approaching Da Siming, Xiao Hei simply waved her arm, and these leaves connected end to end, transforming into an incomparably sharp long whip that lashed out at Da Siming.

"The falling petals and flowing flowers are indeed impressive, but under the flames, the petals and flowers will eventually turn to ashes!"

The High Priestess sneered.

In the Five Elements, fire overcomes wood. Of course, from another perspective, wood can also enhance the power of fire.

Xiao Hei did not respond, and Xiao Bai did not make a move.

This unusual attitude surprised the High Priestess.

In the past, the reason why the other party was able to be ranked among the Lesser Masters of Fate was because of the sisters' combined attacks.

Individually, each of the sisters is only so-so in strength, but when they work together, they truly deserve the title of "Young Master of Fate".

But now, one of them is not making a move.

Do you really think you can stand up to me all by yourself?

Numerous thoughts flashed through Da Siming's mind, and crimson energy swirled around her body as she pushed the Yin-Yang Harmony Hand Seal to its limit.

Her crimson palm reached out, and the long whip of grass and trees that attacked her instantly became scorched, about to turn to ashes in the next instant.

Just then, the little black finger mark solidified, becoming another dot.

The grass and trees, which had been withered and yellowed by the scorching heat, sprouted new buds in an instant. Countless emerald green leaves condensed out of thin air, and an even more powerful force erupted from them, instantly piercing through the crimson aura surrounding the Great Master's body.

The Grand Master's expression changed drastically.

Bang!

Her body was whipped by the long whip of grass and trees, and she flew out, falling into the flower bushes not far away, causing the flowers to scatter in disarray.

"Why are you fighting all of a sudden!"

At that moment, Xu Qing finally couldn't help but speak up.

"These flowers and plants didn't bother you, they were growing just fine, and now they've been ruined like this."

His words were filled with regret.

Just as he finished speaking, a crimson figure darted out from the flower bushes opposite, heading straight for Xiao Hei.

It's the Great Master of Fate!

For her, it would be acceptable if the sisters Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai joined forces to fight against her.

What she couldn't accept was that she had been knocked away by Xiao Hei.

It's important to understand that this is just one person, not a combined attack by sisters.

For someone as proud and arrogant as her, this was a very difficult thing.

The crimson aura intensified, swirling around her body and carrying an overwhelmingly malevolent energy.

Xu Qing flicked his finger lightly, and the aura surrounding the Great Master of Fate suddenly dissipated.

"That's it!"

He spoke, his calm voice reaching the ears of the High Priest, "This is not your territory!"

The Grand Master of Fate paused, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Although her corresponding attribute was fire, which should be incredibly warm and she had a strong ability to resist the cold, this chill rose from the bottom of her heart, something that her incredibly hot internal energy could not withstand.

'This person...'

The Grand Master of Fate felt a chill run down his spine and finally began to take Xu Qing seriously.

She took a deep look at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, then turned and left without saying a word.

Watching Da Siming leave, Xiao Bai asked Xu Qing, "Are we just going to let her go like that?"

This doesn't seem to be Xu Qing's usual style.

"What are you saying? This is the Yin-Yang School, and she is the Grand Master of the Yin-Yang School. If I don't let her leave, do you expect me to leave her here?" Xu Qing retorted to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai then realized that this was not the Qi State Prime Minister's residence where they used to live, but the territory of the Yin Yang School.

……

"So, he came to my Yin Yang School this time to borrow our Yin Yang School's earth fire to forge a sword?"

The central palace among the nine palaces is also the residence of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Yan Fei returned to the place and reported to Donghuang Taiyi about her conversation with Xu Qing.

"Yes!"

Yan Fei nodded in response to Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi stood atop the high platform, his voice booming, "The location of the Earth Fire is within the forbidden Luo Sheng Hall of my Yin Yang School. Even the core disciple Wu Ling Xuan Tong is not qualified to step into it."

"Besides, he's an outsider!"

Yan Fei's eyes flickered as she looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said, "Should I directly refuse him, Your Majesty Donghuang?"

"No need!" Donghuang Taiyi rejected Yanfei's suggestion, then added, "This person was extremely mysterious before, and we knew very little about him. Now that he has officially stepped into the public eye, I have learned quite a few secrets about him..."

Because they knew those secrets, they were not as surprised as they had imagined that Xu Qing would come to the Yin Yang School to borrow the earth fire to forge a sword.

This is because Xu Qing himself is a swordsmith with a great reputation throughout the world.

Xu Zi, a renowned sword-making master from the State of Chu!

As the reputation of the Nine Swords of Heavenly Inquiry grows, Xu Qing's prestige also increases.

In addition, it seems that some of Xu Zi's famous swords have also appeared in the Qi state.

It can only be said that one cannot see the world clearly because one is blinded by a single leaf.

Previously, due to Xu Qing's reputation in the Yan Kingdom, others only knew of his powerful strength and found it difficult to associate him with the swordsmith Xu Zi. Moreover, the Xu clan of the Mo family was also an extremely powerful swordsmithing family. Xu Zi was more associated with the Xu clan.

Now, some people hiding in the shadows have connected Xu Zi and Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's importance naturally increased as well.

His unparalleled personal strength and unmatched sword-making skills.

When these two come together, some people naturally hope to win over such a person, and may even temporarily forget some grudges.

After all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only common interests.

After a moment's thought, Donghuang Taiyi said again, "I can allow him to enter the Luosheng Hall to forge swords, but in return, he must forge a sword for me as well!"

"A sword powerful enough!"

……

The layout of the Fire Department of the Yin-Yang School is completely different from that of the Wood Department. The main color is crimson, but the crimson here does not give people a grand and majestic feeling. Instead, it gives people a sinister and cold feeling.

After returning here, the Grand Master of Fate was in a state of extreme anger.

She felt a surge of anger when she thought about what had happened earlier.

Losing to Shao Siming is not unacceptable; what is unacceptable is losing to only half of Shao Siming.

Before the two, one black and one white, could even launch a combined attack, they had already lost.

Doesn't this mean that either of them could replace me?

After all, the two sisters were of similar strength in the past.

It doesn't make sense that the older sister's strength has improved while the younger sister's strength has stagnated.

A series of light footsteps approached from afar, unhurried and clear, carrying the unique clarity of youth, yet revealing a composure beyond their years.

"I heard you went to see Shao Siming?"

The boy's voice carried a hint of mockery, but there was no trace of sarcasm in it.

The High Priest turned around and his gaze fell on the newcomer, a tall and slender boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was pale, and there was a faint purple flame-shaped pattern around his left eye, giving him a unique and eerie feeling.

"Lord Xinghun!"

Upon seeing the visitor, the High Priest immediately bowed, displaying a humble attitude.

There's no need for such formalities between you and me.

Xinghun spoke calmly, "After all, I was the one who introduced me to the Yin Yang School, so you can be considered my guide!"

That's what he said, but the High Priestess dared not be complacent about it.

Ultimately, when she led the young man before her into the Yin-Yang School, she was merely following the orders of the sect leader, Donghuang.

However, people's talents cannot be generalized.

Before joining the Yin Yang School, Xinghun was just a powerless youth.

In just a few years, the other party's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and his status has also surpassed that of her, the elder of the Fire Department, becoming the master of the Star Vein among the three veins of Sun, Moon and Star.

"I lost to Shao Siming!" Da Siming answered the question that Xinghun had asked before his arrival.

"Oh?"

Xinghun's lips curled up, "It seems their strength has improved quite a bit."

The Grand Master of Fate's expression was rather unpleasant. "It wasn't them, it was the Young Master of Fate, Hei!"

"Just one person defeated you?" Xinghun was genuinely surprised this time. When he joined the Yin Yang Clan, he naturally had dealings with Shao Siming and Hei Bai, and knew about the sisters' situation. Their individual strength was weaker than that of ordinary elders, and only when the two of them were combined could they reach the level of a normal elder.

"In that case, I'm becoming more and more interested in the person that Shao Siming follows!"
