"Yes, the woman, the moves she used were also very strange... But I wasn't the one fighting her, you should ask the third brother."

The seventh brother spread his hands and turned to the third brother.

"Big brother..."

The third brother clasped his fists and said, "I have never seen that person's martial arts moves, but when I attack, she seems to be able to predict my next move and always breaks my moves in the shortest time."

"How many rounds did you fight?"

"Um... three rounds..."

The third brother said this with some embarrassment. He, a grown man, was knocked down by a woman in three rounds. Although he was not injured, it was still quite embarrassing for him to talk about it.

"Oh?"

This time, Mr. Jiang's expression finally changed. He knew the strength of the third brother. Unless he met a hidden master, it would be impossible for him to be defeated in just three rounds. It seems that the water in Taixu Town is still deep.

"It's not hurt, is it?"

"No, that guy showed mercy."

"You're showing mercy... Third Brother, it's time to improve your martial arts."

"Ah this... Big Brother... Can we do it another day?"

Hearing this, the third brother's face changed immediately. He knew that what the eldest brother meant by "improve a little" was that nothing good would happen to him in the next week or so.

"What do you say?"

"Uh...okay..."

The third brother looked into Mr. Jiang's eyes and answered with his head down.

"Hahaha, third brother, you're going to suffer from this." Seeing the third brother being humiliated, the seventh brother couldn't help but burst into laughter and patted the third brother's back madly.

"Laugh! I'll make you laugh!"

The third brother grabbed the seventh brother's clothes and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Brother! I'm going out to practice with Old Seven!"

The third brother looked at the seventh brother angrily, then spoke to Mr. Jiang.

"Okay, go ahead, but don't make too much of a fuss."

"Hey! Big brother! Don't do that!" When the seventh brother heard that his big brother agreed, his face turned green. He quickly said, "Hey! Third brother! What's the point? Let's not do this."

"Hehe! What do you think?"

The third brother pulled up a vicious smile and walked out the door carrying the seventh brother.

--------------

It was not until the two of them walked out of the door that Mr. Jiang said politely to Li Ying: "I am so sorry, Boss Li, my brothers are a little impolite, please forgive me."

"It's okay. These little things don't matter."

Li Ying waved his hand and said.

"Well, thank you, Boss Li. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave first. I'll go back and prepare for the transaction, and we'll talk another day."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Upon hearing about the deal, Li Ying's face brightened instantly. He smiled and said to Mr. Jiang, "Do you want me to send someone to take Mr. Jiang back?"

"Don't worry, I can do it myself."

Mr. Jiang still smiled gently, then walked out of the hall of Liying and turned into a dark corner.

"Things have changed."

"It's okay...just keep the plan as usual. Don't worry, I will do what I promised you."

"That's good."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Xi'er naturally didn't know what happened in the Dajiang Gang. While Li Ying and Mr. Jiang were guessing her identity, Xi'er was taking Lin Chaoyu shopping in Taixu Town.

Because she had been in a remote place before, the market in Taixu Town was already quite large for Lin Chaoyu. She had never seen so many strange and exotic things in her life.

"Look, look! Freshly baked pancakes!"

"Don't miss it if you pass by! Secret manuals of various martial arts sects, only ninety coins! Only ninety coins! Take them all home!!"

"Come on! There's absolutely no room available!!"

"A century-old reputation! A secret recipe passed down from generation to generation! Effective for injuries, trauma and internal injuries! It was originally a secret of my family, but after careful consideration, I made a decision that goes against my ancestors! Sell this special medicine to everyone!!"

The noisy market is filled with all kinds of hawking sounds, some true and some false, some true and some false. Whether one can keep one's money in this game of human hearts is a compulsory course for everyone who comes to Taixu Town.

However, for Xier, these false information are simply child's play. Compared with the twists and turns of modern society, the ancient people were still a little purer.

After all, there are no such complete laws here, and everyone basically relies on fists to solve problems. Therefore, before cheating others, you have to weigh your own strength to see if it can withstand the beating.

However, even in such a chaotic market, there are still a few quiet stalls, such as the stall in front of Xier.

Unlike other stalls, the stall in front of Xier was not as messy as other stalls, and the items were arranged very neatly. Xier looked carefully and found that this stall actually sold various wooden statues.

Wow, it’s an ancient figurine!

This fresh atmosphere in the market aroused Xier's curiosity, so she walked to the vendor's stall.

"Hey! Sir, what would you like to buy?"

When the hawker saw someone coming, his expressionless face instantly turned into a smile. His expression changed so quickly.

"Oh... let me take a look first."

"Oh...then just watch it, don't touch it."

Seeing that Xier had no desire to buy, the vendor's face fell instantly, even faster than before.

Xi'er didn't pay attention to the vendor's expression. Her attention was attracted by the wood carvings. Although the vendor's attitude was not very good, the goods on display were quite exquisite. Each wood carving on the stand was carved vividly. It was hard to imagine that a wood carving could be so lifelike.

For example, the woman holding an umbrella that Xier is looking at now, under the open umbrella is a slim and graceful woman, the woman's face is blurry, but the style of her clothes is very clear, and the long hem of her clothes is floating behind her, although it is just quietly placed there, but it seems as if a breeze is blowing gently up her hem.

The overall lines are very beautiful. Even someone like Xier who doesn't appreciate wood carvings can feel the author's intentions from the work.

The woman raised her head slightly, as if looking at something, but Xier inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness, as if she had met this woman before.

Xier's eyes turned to the next work, which was also a female knight, with the same blurred face, but also the same exquisiteness. The heroism of the young knight was carved to the fullest, with a long sword hanging by her side, as if there was a trace of fairy air floating out. Although the facial expression could not be seen clearly, Xier could feel the calmness in the knight's momentum, as if she was calm and composed in the face of thousands of troops, which was indescribably chic.

"Eh? Senior Sister, this little guy looks a little familiar..."

Just as Xier was observing, Lin Chaoyu's little head suddenly popped out from in front of Xier. She looked at the wood carvings curiously, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Hey? Does Xiao Zhaoyu feel the same way?"

Xi'er looked at Lin Chaoyu in surprise. Is this wood carving really so lifelike? Even a child of a few years old can see the artistic conception?

"Hmm...feels...feels a lot like Master!"

Lin Chaoyu bit his fingers and thought hard for a while, his eyebrows were twisted into a ball. Finally, after racking his brains, Lin Chaoyu gave a vague answer.

"Hey? Master?"

Xi'er was stunned. She looked at the wood carvings again. With Lin Chaoyu's words, Xi'er had unconsciously put Fu Hua's face into the wood carvings. Then Xi'er found that putting Fu Hua's face on the wood carvings was a perfect fit, as if it was originally Fu Hua.

"and many more……"

Xier opened her red lips slightly, and suddenly there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes. She had a bold idea.

"Could it be that the master carved these wood carvings?!"

As a legendary figure, Fu Hua naturally has various legends. People are proud to have seen the Red Kite Immortal with their own eyes, but only a few people can recognize her as the Red Kite Immortal after seeing Fu Hua. More people have only heard of Xier's appearance in rumors.

After the words were passed on many times, the original meaning changed a lot. In some versions, Fu Hua was a girl dressed as a Taoist priest, wielding a sword to exorcise demons. In other versions, Fu Hua was a beautiful woman who could use all kinds of magic at will.

Many rumors naturally gave birth to many images. Xier had talked about the statue of Fu Hua, but there was always a sense of disharmony when those were combined with Fu Hua's face. However, the wood carving in front of her perfectly matched Fu Hua's appearance.

"Could it be that it was carved by someone who had seen the Master..."

Xier murmured to herself that if she had not met Fu Hua in person, she would never have been able to create such a vivid work.

"How much do these cost?"

Xier looked at the wood carvings and suddenly felt a little regretful. Although the wood carvings were very lifelike, the blurriness of the faces was a flaw. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this blurriness added some mystery, but in Xier's eyes, this blurriness destroyed the overall feeling. Perhaps the sculptor had never seen Fu Hua's face directly.

"Oh!"

When the vendor heard Xi'er wanted to buy something, he suddenly became more active. He almost jumped up to Xi'er and said, "Sir, how many do you want to buy?"

"Let me see……"

Xier looked at the wood carvings again. Only seven of them could give her this feeling. The rest could not bring Xier into the world.

"Then let's go with these..."

Xier pointed at the wood carvings.

"Hehe! Sir, you have a really good eye!!"

The hawker's face was so happy that it was about to bloom. Seven of them, this was a big deal!

"A total of four taels of silver!"

"Four ounces?"

Xier was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect these wood carvings to be so valuable.

However, Xier still had enough money in her small treasury, so she could still afford the expense. She readily took out four taels of silver and handed it to the vendor.

"Hehehe! Sir! Let me wrap it for you!"

When the vendor saw the money, the smile on his face became even brighter. He quickly wrapped up the seven statues and was very "thoughtful" to give him a few boxes to store the wood carvings.

"Ah."

Xier took the wood carving without saying a word.

"Sister?"

"It's okay, just a little sigh."

Xier shook her head. She just suddenly felt a little emotional.

"It's getting late today, Xiao Zhaoyu, let's go back."

"Eh~~"

Lin Chaoyu looked at the sky outside, with a look of unsatisfied expression on her face, but she quickly adjusted her mood and nodded to Xier with a smile.

"Let's go back! Senior Sister!"

"So nice."

Xier touched Lin Chaoyu's head and led her towards Taixu Mountain.

Chapter 43

Time flies. It has been two years since Xier brought Lin Chaoyu back to Taixu Mountain.

Perhaps due to her previous experiences, Xier's sword heart skills have improved rapidly and have now reached the level of a clear mirror.

But it only stopped there. For some reason, after reaching the Mirror Realm, Xier could only maintain the Mirror Realm no matter how hard she practiced the Sword Heart Technique. She was obviously only one step away from the Void Realm, but no one knew when she would be able to break through this distance.

Xier knew that this matter could not be rushed, perhaps because there was an obsession in her heart that she was not aware of that was hindering her progress. However, she followed Fu Hua to learn, and believed that one day she would be able to break through this obstacle.

Speaking of Fu Hua, Xier has been learning martial arts from Fu Hua for more than two years. Now, except for Fu Hua's Taixu Sword God, Xier has learned everything else. If she were to fight against her previous self, she would definitely beat her previous self. The reason is that her previous self was too pure.

Although Xier did not show her abilities as a Herrscher to Fu Hua, she had already demonstrated most of her abilities in other areas. After all, the two of them lived under the same roof and saw each other every day. No matter how much she disguised herself, it would be ineffective.

Fu Hua was surprised for a while after learning that Xier had so many abilities, but then she discovered the problem: Xier was not proficient in any of the abilities.

Fu Hua once made a comment about Xier: If we talk about versatility, no one can match Xier, but no matter which aspect, Xier will not be a match for others.

After Fu Hua pointed this out, Xier realized that what she had learned before was so diverse: the power of the Herrscher, magic, psionics, laws, technology, sorcery, alchemy, etc. She had learned almost all types of things, but was not proficient in any of them.

Take the power of the Herrscher for example. Although the power of the Herrscher of Death is Xier's own power, Xier has always only used it in the most superficial way. Her most profound use of the power of the Herrscher is her perception of the living and her healing ability when fighting with the blue rice dumplings.

As for the development of other aspects, Xi'er can be said to have no understanding. The essence of the Herrscher of Death is creation and destruction, but Xi'er has only touched the surface of both creation and destruction. In terms of creation, she is not as good as Bai Xi, and in terms of destruction, she is not as good as Hei Xi. Although she is a trinity, for some reason, the experience given in this aspect has not been shared with Xi'er at all, resulting in her having to explore this path on her own.

This is even more true as Xier has only learned the basics of most of her abilities and can only apply them in the most superficial way. It is better to master one thing than to be knowledgeable in a hundred areas.
