Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 51: Double Ranking
February, fifteenth.

early morning.

The millet in the earthenware jar in the house was bubbling, and the steam climbed up the old elm window frame, squeezed into a white silk thread under the half-closed linen curtain, and suddenly fell into the morning light.

The aroma of fermented glutinous rice lingers in the courtyard, mixed with the warm sunlight, giving the sunlight a somewhat fuzzy feeling.

In the courtyard, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan sat in a corner of the yard, with two dustpans placed in front of their knees.

"Hey~"

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a grain of wheat shot towards Qu Feiyan from Shen Qingshan like an arrow.

Qu Feiyan raised his right hand, and the moment his fingertips touched the wheat, his internal force surged, and he steadily caught the wheat that was shooting towards him.

He took a quick glance, making sure the wheat was golden and plump, with an intact skin free of worm holes, then released his Qi and let the wheat fall into the winnowing basket on his knees.

Then he picked up a grain of wheat from the side, and flicked it with his fingers to circulate the sword intent.

Wrapped in the sword intent, Xiaomai immediately rushed towards Shen Qingshan like an arrow, and was then caught by Shen Qingshan intact.

If Zhang Sanniang or other warriors who have mastered the sword intent were here and saw what the two did, they would inevitably be surprised by their control over the sword intent.

Half an hour later, until the sword intent in their bodies was completely exhausted, the two men stopped.

After putting the dustpan in front of them aside, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

While rubbing his sore and swollen arms, Shen Qingshan said weakly, "I use my sword power to pick wheat every day. I don't know when it will end."

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan also wilted and said, "Didn't Master say that when we can raise our sword power to the second level in this way, we can stop picking wheat."

Shen Qingshan said depressedly: "But the key is that I haven't felt much growth in my sword will until now?"

At this moment, the tightly closed door at the side suddenly opened, and Shen Pingan stepped out of the room with a slight smell of wine.

A lazy and somewhat gentle voice also reached the ears of the two.

"If sword intent is so easy to improve, why do you think Miss Zhang's sword intent is only at the fourth level now?"

Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, the two people who were complaining suddenly tensed up, quickly put away their laziness and stood up.

After Shen Ping'an sat down at the newly built stone table in the yard, Qu Feiyan walked quickly forward, poured a cup of tea warming on the stove and handed it to Shen Ping'an.

After Shen Pingan took a few sips, he sat down beside him, holding his chin with both hands and said, "Sir, I have seen some craftsmen brewing wine before, but none of them are as meticulous as you. You need to go into the winery for several hours every day!"

Shen Pingan explained: "What I brew is not ordinary wine, but some medicinal wine with unique effects, so it is naturally more troublesome to brew."

To make good medicinal wine, it is not enough to just mix the medicine into the wine and soak it for a while.

Instead, the corresponding medicine needs to be mixed in from the beginning of making the lees.

Later, during the brewing process, it is determined whether the corresponding medicinal materials need to be added based on the changes in the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials.

Even the temperature in the house needs to be controlled at an appropriate time.

Otherwise, once there is a problem with the medicinal properties, the original medicinal wine will become poisonous wine, not to mention assisting in cultivation and improving one's physique.

Fortunately, after more than half a month of hard work, the wine in the house has basically completed the first step. All we have to do next is wait for a few months, and the wine in the house will be ready.

After finishing a cup of tea, Shen Pingan asked Qu Feiyan, "Have you bought this month's Jianghu Fengyunlu?"

Qu Feiyan, who was refilling Shen Ping'an's cup with tea, nodded.

"I bought it. Besides Jianghu Fengyunlu, I also bought Tianjiao Ranking and Grandmaster Ranking."

After putting down the teapot, he stood up and ran to the side to get two rolls of paper from his room.

After unrolling one of the rolled-up papers, the first thing that caught my eye was the large characters "Jianghu Fengyunlu". Jianghu Fengyunlu was created by Bai Xiaosheng.

It will be sold at Baixiao Pavilion in each city on the 15th of every month.

This chronicle of the Jianghu recorded the major events that occurred in the past month.

It not only records the situation of the underworld in the Ming Dynasty, but also records the situation of the underworld in the Song Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

This allows all the forces in the martial arts world to learn about recent major events in the world through the contents of the Jianghu Chronicles even without leaving their homes.

It can be said that it is a must-buy item every month for all warriors and underworld forces.

After unfolding the Jianghu Chronicles, Qu Feiyan began to read from the first message recorded on it as usual.

"On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the Luodao Sect, a second-rank sect in the Ming Dynasty, was completely wiped out overnight."

"On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Wuming challenged Nangong Yun, the leader of the First-Rank Hundred Swords Sect, and defeated him after fifty moves."

"On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, Xie Xiaofeng of the Divine Sword Villa and the deadly swordsman Yan Shisan fought a decisive battle by the Maple Leaf River in Beijing. However, the battle was interrupted by Shen Ping'an, the young master of the Shen family in Beijing. After the Shen family left, Yan Shisan took the initiative to request a postponement of the decisive battle."

When Shen Qingshan read the news about Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng, his eyes lit up.

"Cousin, you are mentioned in this Jianghu Record."

Compared to Shen Qingshan, Shen Ping'an's expression was normal.

At present in the Ming Dynasty, the two top forces in the martial arts world are recognized as Wudang and Shaolin.

As for the most well-informed information, the one is none other than Baixiao Pavilion, founded by Jianghu Baixiaosheng.

Even the Qinglong Society, which was extremely famous and powerful a hundred years ago, could not compare with Baixiao Pavilion in terms of intelligence collection.

Its Baixiao Pavilion has spies all over the world.

You never know, a random pedestrian you meet on the street, a vendor doing business, or even the person you spend every day with, may be a spy for Bai Xiao Pavilion.

Fortunately, although Baixiao Pavilion is also a force in the martial arts world, it has remained neutral for hundreds of years and has never participated in any martial arts disputes. It only records what happens in the martial arts world.

That day, after Xie Xiaofeng, Yan Shisan and others arrived at the Shen family, many people who were watching the fight also gathered at the door of the Shen family by the river.

It is normal that there are spies from Baixiao Pavilion among these people.

Afterwards, Qu Feiyan continued to read the rest of the content.

"On the first day of February, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Northern Beggars' Sect of the Song Dynasty, engaged in a violent conflict on the border of the Song Dynasty, killing 27 masters of the First-Rank Hall of Western Xia."

"On the second day of the second month, the Great Yuan Dynasty's Magic Master Palace magician Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun challenged each other in the White Rift Valley. The outcome is still undecided."

"On the second day of the second month, Yang Xiao, the acting leader of the Ming Cult, a top-tier faction in the Ming Dynasty, issued an imperial decree, recalling all Ming Cult disciples to return to Bright Summit."

Just as Qu Feiyan read out the news about Guangmingding, Shen Pingan's hand, which was originally holding the teacup, paused slightly.

"Recalling all disciples of the Ming Cult to return to Bright Summit, does this mean that the six major sects are going to besiege Bright Summit?"

While Shen Ping'an was thinking, Qu Feiyan had already finished reading the last piece of news in the "Records of Jianghu", and then picked up the "Prodigy List" beside him.

Shen Qingshan, who had nothing to do, picked up the rolled-up "Grandmaster List".

However, just as the two opened the two lists and quickly scanned them, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up as if she had discovered something, and she exclaimed, "Young Master, you've made it onto the Tianjiao List."

Almost as soon as Qu Feiyan finished speaking, Shen Qingshan beside her also glared.

"Oh my god, your name is also on the Grandmaster List, cousin."
