One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 265 Jia Xuan's Deal

The Heavenly King's Mansion is in Yangcheng, but Song Yun has never been there.

When he was discussing swords in Anxi before, Jia Xuan asked him to climb the sword tower, check the photo stone on the top floor, and see who erased the second half of "Nine Swords of Killing the Sky".

So Song Yun planned to climb to the top of the sword tower first, and then go to the Heavenly King's Mansion to find someone.

Unexpectedly, before going to the sword tower, Jia Xuan came to the door by himself.

"Jia Tianwang, I haven't seen you for more than half a year." Song Yun smiled and cupped his fists.

This martial artist is fond of swordsmanship, and he is considered a rare bosom friend. A drink in Anxi City is enough for ten years of friendship.

Jia Xuan took a look at Song Yun, seeing that his white robe was neat and tidy, without the slightest embarrassment after a fierce battle, he nodded slightly and said:

"Jiang Xinlian is not good at fighting, but she is always a ghost of the Nine Tribulations. You can win easily, which means that the combat power has reached the peak, which is rare."

The pinnacle here refers to the category of human beings.As for martial arts and immortals, they are already immortals and are not included in the category.

"However—" Jia Xuan changed the subject, "You kept a low profile for half a year after you entered Beijing, just to read books in the Dianzang Pagoda, and today you suddenly did something high-profile and alarmed the whole city. Why?"

"With your strength and status, it stands to reason that no one in Yangcheng would dare to embarrass you."

Song Yun looked around, "Is it convenient to talk here?"

Jia Xuan's expression suddenly became strange.

The two of them, one is a martial arts immortal, the other is a martial arts peak, standing in a secluded corner, the entire eighth floor is now just the two of them, no one else.

Even so, Song Yun still didn't speak directly.

This is a bit intriguing.

Jia Xuan seemed to be concentrating on martial arts, but after all, he is an old monster who has lived for 2 years, and his thoughts are far more meticulous than ordinary people. He guessed in an instant, and immediately changed his words:

"When you are free, come to my mansion and talk about it."

"What's your plan next? Continue climbing to the ninth and tenth floors here?"

Song Yun shook his head, "I can go directly to the ninth floor, this is Jiang Xinlian's compensation. As for the tenth floor, I plan to hit it after a while."

"It seems that Xiao Jiang is wrong." The corners of Jia Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Although the heavenly king has white hair all over his head, his face is quite young. He looks only 50 to [-] years old. Calling an [-]-year-old woman "Xiao Jiang" sounds weird, but it is quite normal.

In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, except for the emperor, everyone else could only be regarded as Jia Xuan's juniors.

However, age is not the main factor to measure seniority, cultivation is.

Jiang Xinlian is about to fall into the ground, but she is still stuck in the nine times of ghosts and immortals. There is basically no hope of breaking through in this life, and her seniority is naturally lower.

And Song Yun was only in his early 20s, he was very likely to be promoted to a human immortal, and he was also the heir of "Great Xia's number one swordsman Song Xuan", so Jia Xuan and him were almost equals, without any pretensions.

"The tenth floor of the Daofa Collection Tower hides the real secret of the Yang God, so the test is extremely difficult, and no one has succeeded in it for 2 years."

Jia Xuan suggested: "In comparison, climbing to the top of the Sword Tower is much less difficult. You can go there first, look at the Picture Stone, and then come to my Heavenly King's Mansion."

Suddenly he whispered again: "The secret of the Yang God is still in the collection tower, but the secret of the human immortal is no longer there. Then I will show you the way."

"Thank you." Song Yun cupped his fists again.

This seemed like a secret transaction—Song Yun checked the problem of the Sword Tower's image stone, and in return, Jia Xuan gave him advice on the secrets of immortality.

But in comparison, Jia Xuan's advice is undoubtedly more valuable, it is not a small favor.

Jia Xuan waved his hand, "Since you have talked with Xiao Jiang and you have a clear idea, then act in a low-key manner. If you encounter danger, you can come to Tianwang Mansion to find me at any time."

These words implied that he had already guessed the truth - Song Yun was a strong man at the pinnacle of martial arts, and in the capital Yangcheng, he could easily fight Jiang Xinlian, so what danger could he encounter?
Neither of them said anything, but everything was in the air.

Jia Xuan put on his hood and left quietly.

Song Yun stood between the bookshelves, thought for a while, and continued to read.

To check the picture-taking stone in the sword tower, one needs to have an understanding of the technique of taking pictures.

The photo-recording stone is a magic weapon that has been lost in later generations, and there were not many in the Great Xia era, so the photo-recording technique is also a rare high-level Taoist method.

There are relevant classics on the seventh floor of the collection tower, but they are still a bit brief, and more detailed ones must be on the eighth and ninth floors.

Song Yun planned to read the books on these two floors first, and then went to the Sword Tower to try to climb to the top.

In the dim candlelight, only the rustling sound of pages turning...

This "collection tower disturbance" could have caused a lot of trouble. The first lieutenant general of Zhu Xiewei came to provoke the collection order.

However, because both parties chose to deal with it in a low-key manner after the event, and did not even mention it, this matter was made more and more noise, and there was no further follow-up.

At the beginning, there were many people discussing whether Song Yun and Jiang Xinlian made a move that day, and who would win and who would lose. After a long time, the turmoil gradually subsided, and this matter was forgotten by people.

Song Yun finally got peace, because there are very few people who can go to the eighth floor, and no one will suddenly run around to look up and down, or even take the initiative to talk to harass.

Occasionally, a few ghost immortals came to the eighth floor to practice. They were all officials or senior generals in the court. They kept their identities.

After spending two months, Song Yun wiped out the eighth layer of classics.

This speed is faster than looking at the seventh floor, because he just memorized most of the classics by force, and didn't spend time slowly studying them.

If you really want to watch and practice, ten years is not enough.

After another two months, the classics on the ninth floor were also reviewed.

So far, Song Yun has spent nearly a year back and forth, concentrating on reading in the collection tower.

In the past, this was completely impossible. Every month or even every day, you have to fight life and death, and you have almost no spare time.

In this peaceful year, not only did he learn a lot of Taoism knowledge, but also allowed Song Yun to truly calm down and consolidate his existing realm.

The hidden wounds accumulated in previous battles have also slowly recovered after being recuperated by a large number of precious medicines.

Insidious injury is the enemy of warriors, especially those who often do it. Intense luck and energy will damage the tiny blood vessels and tissues in the body.

This kind of injury is very small, it is difficult to actively heal, and it takes a long time to slowly recuperate.

Most warriors do not have this condition, and the accumulation of secret injuries will lead to a significant decline in strength when they are old, and it is even more difficult to promote.

Although Song Yun often fights with life and death, and it is easy to accumulate hidden injuries, but he has a systematically built celestial body, which makes it much easier to take care of.

Taking advantage of this quiet reading time, he insisted on taking the elixir every day and concentrating on resting his mind, successfully restoring his body to its perfect peak state.

This rare period of meditation has made up for the shortcomings of the previous rapid improvement of the realm, and it has also increased his martial arts cultivation to a certain extent.

Sometimes, Song Yun even felt subconsciously that there was only one last threshold left, which was almost within reach.

Take one step, and you will see a brighter future!
