Red Dust Sea Star Luo Island, Song Family Martial Arts Field

Jing Yu and Song Qingya stood far apart.

A large amount of sword energy condensed from water magic power was lingering around Jing Yu. In his left hand, he held a few ancient copper coins that were round on the outside and square on the inside. From time to time, a sword energy stabbed towards Song Qingya.

Song Qingya on the opposite side made a sword gesture, and danced a stone sword tightly, accurately strangling out the incoming water-based sword energy one by one.

However, as the water-based sword energy gradually increased, Song Qingya's stone sword became increasingly difficult to defend, and he had to use his escape light to start dodging.

But no matter how he dodged, Jing Yu seemed to be able to accurately calculate his landing point at the next moment. The water-based sword energy often anticipated the enemy's move and arrived first, piercing the khaki sword curtain constructed by Song Qingya, making its spiritual light dim, as if it would be shattered in the next moment.

As this cycle went on, the space left for Song Qingya to maneuver became smaller and smaller, and he was finally forced into the corner of the martial arts field. Jing Yu saw that his opponent could not dodge, so he mobilized a huge amount of magic power, transformed it into a sky full of water-based sword lights, and won the battle in one go!

call--

Seeing that there was no escape, Song Qingya looked helpless. The stone magic sword hanging at his side suddenly hummed and turned into a huge ochre sword ball, wrapping Song Qingya and rushing out of the martial arts field.

"Qingya, you've left the martial arts arena. You've lost this round."

Jing Yu dispersed the water-based sword energy in the sky, put the copper coin magic tool used for divination back into the storage bag, and smiled slightly.

Song Qingya looked depressed and nodded:

"Brother Ye's magic power is too strong. His water magic power is as deep as the sea, and his sword energy seems endless. If it weren't for the fact that the earth element restrains the water element, I'm afraid I would have been defeated long ago."

Jing Yu smiled and said, "After all, I am also in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If I can't even suppress the middle Foundation Establishment stage, then the advantage of this small realm will be useless."

Song Qingya shook his head. "You can't say that. I'm not bragging, but even among the noble families in the Red Dust Sea, Qingya's potential is among the best. He's also a sword cultivator, so compared to the ordinary noble family descendants in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he's not much worse."

"Brother Ye was able to suppress Qingya to this extent in just a few years using only the [Heavenly Divination Sword Scripture]. He is truly a genius."

"The [Heavenly Divination Sword Manual] was originally the ancestor's unique martial art. Unfortunately, although Qingya is proficient in sword techniques, he knows nothing about divination. And Aunt Jinghong is famous for her ghostly skills, so she was unable to inherit the family's divination skills."

"Only Brother Ye has inherited the ancestor's legacy and prevented this unique skill from being lost in obscurity. He is more like a direct descendant of the Song family than the two of us." Song Qingya sighed.

Jing Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked tentatively:

"Qingya, please forgive me for saying something a bit too much. Sword cultivators may be strong, but their methods are limited. Relying solely on a single sword technique to roam the seas is not flexible enough. Why don't you try to learn some of the supplementary secret techniques in the library to diversify your skills?"

Song Qingya smiled and said, "Although it's good to be comprehensive, it's something that a genius like Brother Ye needs to consider. Ordinary people can only do a little bit of everything."

"A mediocre person like me can only cultivate one field. My life is all about swordsmanship, and I can't care about anything else."

"Only the sword? I don't believe your devil."

Jing Yu thought to himself, "He's pretending to be serious."

"By the way, Brother Ye, the Wanfo Auction, which is held every twenty years on Wanfo Island, will start in two months. There may be many rare treasures, even spiritual objects and secret methods for forming elixirs, in the auction. Haven't you been looking for these two things in recent years? Why not join me and join in the fun? It's just in time for us to leave now." Song Qingya suggested.

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Auction? I've heard of it."

Jing Yu thought about it. [Wanfo Island] is one of the largest islands in the Red Dust Sea. It is occupied by [Wanfo Temple], a rare Buddhist force on the sea. It is said that there is a fake infant monk in charge of the temple.

The monk from the Wanfo Temple is a modern Buddhist who practices the Taoist foundation-building alchemy. In fact, he has almost nothing to do with the ancient Buddhist who practiced by collecting incense and vows. He can be regarded as a Taoist monk with a bald head who recites Buddhist scriptures.

However, because they still uphold the philosophy of Buddhism, they also do good deeds and have a good reputation in the surrounding areas. They run the largest maritime market except for the Feng family of the Yuanying Immortal Clan. The "Ten Thousand Buddhas Auction" held every twenty years is even more well-known and is considered a major event on the sea.

However, the Song family is currently in a precarious situation, and going out at this time may not be a good choice.

"Qingya, I'm just a son-in-law of the Song family. Although I have the title of a direct descendant, most of the families don't take me seriously. That's not so bad."

Jing Yu said: "But you are the Song family's direct descendant of the Golden Core Seed. You can go out and run around without worrying about the enemy family secretly harming you."

"Brother Ye is worrying too much."

Song Qingya shook his head. "Not to mention the rule in the Red Dust Sea that Golden Core cultivators are forbidden from attacking the direct descendants of other families who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even if there wasn't such a rule, hostile families like the Zhang and Wang families would only target Aunt Jinghong. How could they have the time to deal with a cultivator like me who is in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"To put it bluntly, our ancestor only has these twenty years left. When he dies, whether Aunt Jinghong can form a pill is of paramount importance. As for me? By then, it would be a blessing to be able to enter the late stage of foundation building. Without our ancestor, a great master, what can a mere foundation building cultivator do for the Song family?"

"When the time comes for our family to be destroyed, there's no need to take extra care of them. We'll just die anyway."

"Besides, the Feng family's rules are not just for show."

Jing Yu asked curiously, "I've long been curious why the Feng family, a Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, would enact a rule that prohibits Jindan cultivators from attacking the direct descendants of aristocratic families. Is there any reason behind this?"

Song Qingya said, "Brother Ye, you may not know this. It is said that many years ago, when the Feng family was still a Jindan family, their direct descendants were targeted, and even succeeded twice. When Yuanying Zhenjun Feng Qijie was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was even hunted down by Jindan cultivators."

"Therefore, the Feng Clan is extremely disgusted with this kind of bullying. After being promoted to the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, Master Feng established this rule. If any family violates it, the victimized family can go to Tingfeng Island to seek justice from the Feng Clan."

Jing Yu suddenly realized: "So that's what happened."

"Then...Brother Ye, do you want to join in the fun?"

"I've heard that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Auction is attracting many major businesses and is filled with rare treasures. I'm also preparing for my Core Formation, so I can't miss it!"

The two men discussed it and decided that Song Jinghong could not move lightly now and could only stay in the Jindan formation on Xingluo Island. So they simply brought Song Yuze, a branch of the Song family, along. The three of them took turns driving the flying boat at a speed that was not too fast or slow. They practiced while traveling. After a long journey of more than a month, they finally arrived at Wanfo Island, where the Wanfo Temple was located.
