The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

Hearing his uncle's words, Baili Dongjun scratched the back of his head and covered up his uncle's question with an awkward smile. After covering it up, he made a request to his uncle.

"Uncle, take a look at Changfeng. He doesn't seem to be doing well."

Upon hearing his nephew's request, Wen Hujiu did not refuse and walked over directly. As he approached, Wen Hujiu looked at Yaoyue, Sikong Changfeng, and Helian Yunshen, who was sitting in a chair.

Yaoyue and Sikong Changfeng did not recognize each other, but they did recognize Helian Yunshen.

"I didn't expect the famous Young Master Huanyin to be here too?"

"Master Wen, you are too kind. I was just passing by and happened to attend the Gu family's wedding. I never expected so many things to happen."

Wen Hujiu clearly did not believe such a statement.

Just passing by? Or happened to be participating?

It all sounds like perfunctory words; such words are just meant to appease people and are very boring.

Stopping his conversation with Helian Yunshen, Wen Hujiu turned his gaze to Sikong Changfeng, examined him, and then spoke.

"This young man's meridians are damaged, and the hidden injuries that were previously lurking in his body have been aggravated. His physical condition is extremely poor; he can be said to be on the verge of death."

"Uncle, do you have a solution?"

This result made Baili Dongjun's heart tighten.

Changfeng's current state is entirely his own fault; if it weren't for him, Changfeng might not be in this state. Upon hearing this, Sikong Changfeng gripped his spear tightly, unwilling to die so easily.

"Here is the Five Poison Pill. After taking it, your body will be able to recover temporarily for ten days. As long as you receive treatment at Medicine King Valley within ten days, your life will be saved."

Otherwise, I won't say anything.

He took out a pill and handed it to Sikong Changfeng, briefly explaining the situation before placing it in his hand. Whether Sikong Changfeng took it or not was up to him.

Sikong Changfeng hesitated for a moment before swallowing the pill, which he held in his hand. Baili Dongjun looked at Sikong Changfeng and gave him some instructions.

"Go quickly and come back soon, we still have time to ride across the land together!"

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

"Seeing you like this, I'll reluctantly lend you my steed, Wuzhui! At Wuzhui's speed, it will take at most three days to get to Medicine King Valley from here."

Helian Yunshen looked at Sikong Changfeng, at this handsome young man, and couldn't bear to see someone like him die on the road like this. So he lent him his black horse.

"Thank you, Young Master Huanyin."

"No need to thank me, go ahead."

He Lianyun Shen was too lazy to listen to the cheesy flattery and simply waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up and leave. "Don't dawdle here."

Soon, Sikong Changfeng rode Helian Yunshen's black horse and left. Seeing that everything here was over, he didn't know where to go for a stroll.

"Yun Shen, shall we leave together?"

Seeing Helian Yun Shen's somewhat bewildered expression, Lei Meng Sha suggested they leave together. Hearing this, Helian Yun Shen didn't think much of it; since they had nowhere else to go, leaving together was a good idea.

Then, Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan left the Gu family's place.

After leaving the Gu family

"Brother Lei, where are you and Brother Luo headed?"

"The Sword Testing Tournament at Famous Sword Manor is about to begin. We're planning to go together, shall we?"

Upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's question, Lei Meng Sha told him where the two were going. Hearing that they were going to the Sword Testing Tournament at Mingjian Manor, Helian Yun Shen figured that there would definitely be many experts there, so going wouldn't hurt.

"Then let's go to Famous Sword Manor!"

"Yun Shen, if you ask me, with your strength, you could easily get any famous sword if you participated in this sword-testing tournament!"

Should we go up and give it a try then?

Holding Helian Yunshen's neck, Lei Mengsha jokingly suggested that Helian Yunshen participate in the sword-testing tournament. Luo Xuan rolled his eyes at Lei Mengsha upon hearing this.

"Even if Yun Shen were willing, Mingjian Manor wouldn't be happy. Don't forget that Yun Shen is no longer the unknown person he was years ago. Now he is not only respectfully called Young Master Huanyin."

Furthermore, his strength is known among the martial arts world as a powerful expert of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. Wouldn't such a powerful individual participating in the Sword Trial Tournament be nothing short of disrupting the event?

“Brother Luo is right. Besides, I don’t know how to use a sword. The fist and foot skills I’ve learned are enough to buy me time before I play the jade flute.”

There's not much to learn.

Too much variety is actually not good.

He nodded to indicate that he would not directly participate in the so-called sword-testing tournament, since longswords were of no use to him.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's keep going!"

…………

After traveling for some time, the group arrived at the Famous Sword Manor. At this moment, many martial arts practitioners from various sects had already gathered in the manor, which showed the grand scale of this sword-testing tournament.

Upon seeing Helian Yun Shen and his companions, the people of Mingjian Manor respectfully invited them into the manor and arranged for them to rest in rooms inside.

"Wow, they're so rich!"

"Mingjian Manor is undoubtedly the second-best sword-making place in the world, and compared to Jianxin Tomb, it is more refined and has a smaller number of weapons. It can be said that this place undertakes a large part of the weapon forging in the martial arts world and even the imperial court, so it is normal for it to be rich."

Yun Shen, if you want money then...

Some people will come to your door offering money, after all, you should know that your strength is extraordinary, and you can join any faction you want.

They all welcomed us with open arms.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen marvel at the wealth of Mingjian Manor, Lei Meng Sha couldn't help but tease him. She then briefly reiterated the situation of Mingjian Manor.

Hearing Lei Mengsha say this, Helian Yun Shen had no interest whatsoever.

Joining other so-called factions is pointless.

Just look at Young Master Lingyun; he's tied up with family affairs and has to consider things for the sake of his clan.

Very troublesome.

"Forget it, I don't want to join any faction."

…………

A few days later,

The Sword Trial Tournament at Mingjian Manor officially began, and Helian Yunshen and the others were given excellent seats to watch.

Here, they met Baili Dongjun, Wen Hujiu, and the little girl named Xiaobai again. Wen Hujiu greeted Helian Yunshen with a smile and politeness.

"Young Master Huanyin, it's been a long time!"

"Patriarch Wen, it's been a long time!"

Helian Yun Shen responded politely to Wen Hu Jiu's greeting, raising his cup in response. Wen Hu Jiu, in turn, raised his cup as well.

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing their drinks, they stopped chatting. Watching the fight on the stage below, the leaders of other families and sects looked at Helian Yun Shen and earnestly gave him their guidance.

"Build a good relationship with that person, and if possible, go to that level."
