As he spoke, he took a step forward and walked quickly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

It would have been bad enough that the two bandits deceived him, but they deceived Zhiruo in front of him. They really didn't know how to live or die.

Unexpectedly, the two men refused to give in and insisted that it was Xie Xiaoxu.

Song Qingshu was just about to teach these two ungrateful people a lesson.

The extinction watching from afar could no longer bear it.

He appeared in front of everyone like a gust of wind.

Looking at Zhou Zhiruo who was at a loss and looked confused, Miejue waved her hands at everyone and said, "Don't worry about it. There are many people in the martial arts world. Maybe it's just a mistake."

In front of everyone from the Wudang Sect, one naturally has to maintain his composure.

Zhou Zhiruo nodded.

With Xie Xiaoxu's qualifications, it is indeed not worth her attention.

The other party is a playboy with mediocre talents, while she is a favored daughter of heaven. The future leader of Emei is from two different worlds.

"I said, Xie Xiaoxu is just a playboy, how could he be a match for Yan Shisan!"

Song Qingshu also breathed a sigh of relief and said.

As long as Xie Xiaoxu is still a playboy, he will not embarrass himself in front of Zhiruo.

Furthermore, even a master like Nun Miejue has spoken out, so the rumor must be false.

He bowed to Miejue and flattered her: "Master is indeed a top expert in the martial arts world. Song Qingshu admires your sharp vision!"

After this round of flattery, Mingjue felt very comfortable, and his frown relaxed a lot.

This Song Qingshu is the son of Song Yuanqiao, the leader of the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

As expected of a disciple of a famous sect, he is very elegant and much better than that dandy Xie Xiaoxu.

As the group hurried on, a restaurant appeared in front of them.

The waiter at the restaurant was picking up a secret notice and posting it on the wall near the door.

Out of curiosity, many knights came forward to watch.

Suddenly, the restaurant door was crowded with people.

"It's actually a secret report from heaven!"

A knight exclaimed as he looked at the unique mark in the newspaper.

"As expected of the Heavenly Secret Report, it can be found even in this desolate little town!"

"Needless to say, the secret agents of Tianji Mibao are all over Shenzhou and can know the major events in the world."

"It is said that the Tianji Secret Report has existed in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, and the person behind it is a top powerhouse in the Shenzhou Continent."

"Hundreds of years? Are they still human?"

"Hurry and take a look at the content above! The Ming Dynasty Sword God Ranking has been updated again!"

Someone reminded me at this time.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this, and they then focused their attention on the content of the secret report.

This Ming Dynasty Sword God List has existed for a long time and will be updated from time to time.

As the name suggests, the Sword God List is naturally ranked among the most powerful Sword Gods in the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Xiaoxu's name was listed among them, ranking sixth, second only to Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng among the younger generation.

At the top of the Sword God List are Shen Lang, Yan Nantian and other veteran heroes in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world.

The first two have basically not changed. The martial arts legend Shen Lang and Yan Nantian, who was once known as the number one master of the Ming Dynasty, are recognized legendary figures in the martial arts world.

However, everyone's attention is now on Xie Xiaoxu, who is ranked sixth.

This name was not in the previous issue.

"It's Xie Xiaoxu again. He has become famous in the martial arts world recently. I didn't expect that he is actually a powerful sword master!"

"Isn't this the fourth young master of Shenjian Villa? Why did I hear that he is a playboy?"

"Can the secret report of the heaven be false?"

When the secret report of heaven was mentioned, those knights who had previously held a disparaging attitude towards Xie Xiaoxu suddenly changed their tune.

"The fourth young master pretends to be a playboy to keep a low profile and hide his talent! Everyone says Xie Xiaofeng is a genius, but I think the fourth young master is even better!"

"Oh my goodness, he is already a sword god at such a young age. Just ask the Ming Dynasty, no, just ask the entire Shenzhou Continent, which young talent can do this?"

“Although he is ranked one place lower than Ximen Chuxue, Ximen Chuxue is already thirty years old, while the fourth young master is only seventeen or eighteen years old. The difference is obvious in this comparison!”

As more and more knights came to watch the Heavenly Secret Report, Zhou Zhiruo and her companions also became curious and came forward to watch.

Chapter 23: Golden Elixir?

When she saw the three big words "Xie Xiaoxu", a bolt of lightning flashed through Zhou Zhiruo's mind, striking her senses completely.

Zhou Zhiruo bit her lip and walked forward in a daze, her eyes fixed on the explanation of Xie Xiaoxu's battle record.

"Xie Xiaoxu spit out a sword aura, breaking Yan Shisan's fourteenth fatal sword with one move!"

"I used the supreme swordsmanship, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, to break the Supreme Deadly Fifteenth Sword that Yan Shisan had mastered!"

"So far, I am ranked sixth on the Sword God List!"

"..."

Zhou Zhiruo felt extremely complicated.

I didn’t expect the rumors to be true!

Xie Xiaoxu really defeated Yan Shisan!

If what the two people said before was false, then how to explain this secret information?

The Secret Report of Heaven has existed for a hundred years, and its credibility is beyond doubt!

"Sword God! He is now the Sword God!"

Zhou Zhiruo murmured, her mind wandering.

The dude whom she looked down upon at the beginning suddenly rose to become the top sword god in the Ming Dynasty!

The clown is actually herself?

"No! This isn't true!"

Zhou Zhiruo screamed in her heart.

Song Qingshu was speechless, and became depressed.

Those two were not lying! The one who defeated Yan Shisan was not Xie Xiaofeng, but the dandy Fourth Young Master!

The most embarrassed person at the scene was Miejue. She had previously sworn that it was a rumor, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly, and it was a hard slap at that.

Even though she had been in the underworld for decades, she could still feel the burning pain on her face at this moment!

The Wudang people showed admiration.

Song Yuanqiao glanced at his disappointing son and scolded him, "Look at the fourth young master. He appears to be a playboy, but in reality he is a sword god! You are just the opposite!"

"If you continue like this, Wudang will be defeated by you sooner or later!"

"I'll lock you up tightly when we get back, and don't let you go out at will!"

……

At this time, Xie Xiaoxu was slowly descending Cuiyun Peak with a sword.

I was about to go to the nearby Baiyun Taoist Temple to burn incense.

Although there are many books in the Divine Sword Villa, they are all about sword-fighting and killing techniques, and there are no esoteric classics.

Since there are Taoist methods of cultivating immortals, cultivation is naturally the main thing, and swordsmanship is only secondary.

To Xie Xiaoxu today, no matter how powerful his swordsmanship is, it is not as good as an unread Taoist book.

Baiyun Temple is located at the foot of Cuiyun Peak, and people in the martial arts world regard it as a subsidiary force of Shenjian Villa.

Actually not so.

Baiyun Taoist Temple is actually not a force.

Because there are very few people in the Taoist temple, there are only a few old Taoist priests with white hair and beards. The old Taoist priests take turns guarding the temple, and it is rare to see them all in the temple at the same time on weekdays.

As soon as Xie Xiaoxu stepped into the Taoist temple, he was hit by a burst of incense. On both sides stood neatly arranged bookshelves filled with Taoist canons.

As usual, Xie Xiaoxu took out a silver note worth 500 taels and stuffed it into the small wooden box at the door.

At this time, an old voice sounded.

"Thank you, my friend! You have obtained the reading rights of the Taoist temple's library."

"Within three days, you can browse the books in the Taoist temple at will. All books can only be copied and cannot be taken away!"

An old Taoist priest dressed in linen clothes and with white hair and beard was talking about the rules of Baiyun Temple.

"That's natural!"

Xie Xiaoxu nodded.

"In that case, please do as you please, my friend!"

After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the cushion in front of him.

The Taoist temple fell into silence again.

There was no one else in Baiyun Taoist Temple except Xie Xiaoxu and the old man in hemp clothes.

Except for Xie Xiaoxiao, basically no one from Shenjian Villa would come to Baiyun Taoist Temple to read books.

One reason is that the ticket costs five hundred taels of silver.

The most important thing is that the classics in this Taoist temple are too profound. Not to mention ordinary disciples, even martial arts masters like Xie Wangsun can't understand them at all.

Another thing is that there are very few martial arts books in the Taoist temple, and even fewer books on swordsmanship, which are even worse than the libraries within the sect.

In the eyes of the disciples of Shenjian Villa, those who entered Baiyun Taoist Temple were all big enemies who thought they had too much money and had no place to spend it.

Although Shenjian Villa has declined, five hundred taels is still a drop in the bucket for Xie Xiaoxu, the fourth young master.

Xie Xiaoxu's figure shuttled between the bookshelves.

With his extraordinary understanding, classics that are difficult for ordinary people to understand are no different from vernacular texts to him. It is as if he has annotations and can understand the meaning at a glance.

Sensing the young man's constantly changing position, the old Taoist couldn't help but tremble his brows.

Violent ripples arose in the calm heart.

Even an old Taoist like him cannot match this speed of flipping through books.

I even suspected at one point that the other party was just taking a quick look.

Out of curiosity, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes slightly and looked at him from time to time.

Xie Xiaoxu turned into a ghost and flew past rows of bookshelves.

Soon, there was another book in his hand.

"It seems that the concept of cultivating immortals is extremely rare even in Taoism!"

He thought he could comprehend a deeper level of immortality from these Taoist scriptures, but the result was disappointing.

Although the Taoist practice of cultivating both sex and life is similar to cultivating immortals, it is ultimately too superficial.

It can only increase lifespan a little, but is still far from achieving immortality.

After reading for a long time, although there was no tremendous qualitative change, there were still some obvious benefits. As he read on, Xie Xiaoxu's understanding of Taoism grew imperceptibly.

It is equivalent to making up for the missed knowledge.

And it is the kind of knowledge that will never be forgotten.
