I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 161 White Horse City

There was no conversation all night, and suddenly it was dawn.

Li Xian said goodbye to the other retainers of the Li family and boarded a large ship with the black flag of the Sanhe Gang with Li Ming. Lei Biao and others on both sides of the strait saw them off, and the scene was quite grand.

As far as Li Ming knew, this cargo ship was no different from the Li family's big ship he had taken before. It transported goods and also bought and sold goods on the way, bartered goods, and collected and resold specialties along the way, and could also make a profit. Of course, how much money could be made depended on the vision, means and experience of the person in charge.

The Sanhe Gang is located at a place where three major rivers cross the territory. In addition to the Luo River, there are also the Jing River and the Fan River. The Sanhe Gang is located at the intersection of the Luo River and the Jing River. The Li family's cargo ship continues to move along the Luo River, but if they want to go to the Lingzhou Martial Arts Conference, they have to go through the Jing River.

In addition to the Sanhe Shuangxiu who are the seed players of the Sanhe Gang, there are at least five or six other new generations on the entire ship, plus Elder Wang, another Elder Liu, and an accompanying doctor, there are ten people in total. They all have status in the gang and need someone to serve them. There are also servants, cooks, sailors, etc., which makes about thirty or forty people in total.

The Lingzhou Martial Arts Competition is held every three years. Young talents under the age of 24 can participate. In addition to the major forces in Lingzhou who have received invitations, other independent people or small forces will also send people to participate. It is a good stage for young people to show their talents. This martial arts competition is hosted by the court. In addition to gaining fame, there are also good gold, silver or other rewards. As long as you can rank high, you will definitely gain both fame and fortune.

After all, the ranking of the Talent List is based on your deeds in the martial arts world. Many people are eager to try their best to shine. Generally speaking, many talents will emerge in every martial arts competition.

Those small families or those who occasionally inherited the legacy of their predecessors but have no foundation will be absorbed by the court. This can be regarded as an opportunity to absorb fresh blood for the court, which is why every session can be held as scheduled.

Of course, for Li Ming, he has basically regarded the top three positions as a sure thing, and the spot at the Qionghua Night Banquet is what he wants.

Participating in this martial arts competition was just a formality. After all, with his current strength, he really couldn't imagine that there were opponents who could have the accumulation of forty years of others at the age of twenty.

Don't look at Li Xian, Wang Dong and others who became famous at a young age and were on the list of talented people, but in fact they were only at the second level of acquired cultivation. This, plus a few advanced martial arts passed down from family, was enough for them to make remarkable achievements in the outside world. When looking at the list that day, only Wang Changchen was actually certified at the third level of acquired cultivation, which was not yet the peak. Of course, he had a strange experience, so he must have some skills. If they really fought, the outcome was still unknown.

After all, the world is so vast, there are always a few geniuses beyond your imagination. The Record of Reincarnation is indeed first-class wonders, but perhaps some people are born extraordinary and have other adventures, and may not be weaker than you are now.

After all, the longer you use something like the Record of Reincarnation, the greater its effect will be. Now I only have these entries. If I have a full set of golden entries in the future, I will be truly invincible!
This time, going downstream and with the wind at their back, their speed was a bit faster than before. In just three days, they arrived at another city in Lingzhou. This city was called Baima City. According to legend, when Emperor Taizu of Xia conquered this place, a Pegasus appeared in his dream with its wings spread. The next day, a divine dragon horse actually threw itself into the wild, so the city was named Baima City.

Li Xian and his companions disembarked to rest and see the bustling White Horse City, bustling with merchants and the streets bustling with traffic. Of course, even more were the martial artists, bearing swords and wielding swords. In this world, martial arts flourished, first with the Martial Ancestor's creation, and then with the tireless efforts of successive generations to break the old and establish the new, allowing the flower of martial arts to blossom throughout the world. Daxia was founded on martial arts, and the jianghu and the imperial court were inextricably linked. Perhaps in Li Xian's ancient world, all was inferior except for reading, but in Daxia, reading was not as prestigious as practicing martial arts. Unless one's aptitude was truly poor, one would never focus solely on studying. Of course, most of the high-ranking officials in the court were well-rounded, with few specializing in just one area.

It is said that heroes break the law with force and carry a sharp knife with murderous intent. Since the warriors are so powerful, they will naturally do some extraordinary things from time to time. The imperial court is indeed powerful, but it is unable to suppress the world. Except for the central nine states which are basically under its control, the twenty-seven states on the periphery are occupied by major families or martial arts holy places. On the surface, they are under the jurisdiction of the government, but in fact, they are all local tyrants in private. The major families and sects override local laws, and the majesty of the imperial court no longer exists.

It has some of the meaning of the Zhou emperor ruling the world with ease, and the princes governing themselves according to their fiefdoms. But no matter what, the right to speak is held by the famous and upright people, and everyone maintains a superficial decency and has zero tolerance for evil and heresy.

This has formed a world structure that is strange but still relatively stable. At least for ordinary people, life is manageable. This can be seen from what Li Ming has seen and heard since he came out of the mountains.

The members of the Sanhe Gang scattered, and Li Ming, Li Xian, Li Ang and Wang Dong walked together. They found it quite interesting to watch the people coming and going in the colorful world. They walked around for most of the hour, and when it was time for dinner, they asked about the more famous local restaurants and found a "Qun Ying Lou" nearby.

The name of the Qunying Building is clear at first glance. It is a name specially given by the store owner to attract martial artists and chivalrous men from the Jianghu. When several people came to the Qunying Building, they saw that it was a three-story building with a separate entrance and a separate building, occupying a large piece of land in the middle of the street. Most of the people coming and going in the building were martial artists in tight-fitting clothes. Several people found a seat to sit down, ordered some food and drinks, and listened to the people from the Jianghu talking and talking. Suddenly, Li Ming felt a bit of the Jianghu feeling.

On the third floor of the Qun Ying Building, a few people sat around a window seat, eating and drinking, and occasionally commenting on the martial artists below.

Since most of the people coming and going here are from the martial arts world, naturally most of the things they talk about are the affairs of the martial arts world. As for the so-called affairs of the martial arts world, it is nothing more than someone making great progress in martial arts and killing his old enemy, or one force encroaching on another's territory, or someone making an appointment to fight someone else.

Of course, if we talk about the most popular thing recently, it must be the upcoming opening of the Lingzhou Martial Arts Competition. With this premise, people gradually started talking about the young talents of various families. Even the names of Li Xian and Wang Dong were mentioned. Li Ming couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

Li Xian said with a hint of meaning, "Little monk, your participation in the martial arts competition this time will surely earn Guangde Temple great fame. Why are you laughing at me?"

Li Ming's mouth curled up and he was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of broken dishes beside him.
