Chapter 18: The Fourth Realm
This was a very luxurious carriage.
The two tall steeds dragging the carriage had strange silver-white fur, and were exceptionally clean, looking even as if they were shining like a layer of wax.
The carriage's carriage was made of the finest rosewood, and every place was carved with patterns, overlapping reliefs and translucent carvings, and inlaid with gold and jade, luxurious to the extreme.
Even the driver was a silver-shirted swordsman wearing a long sword at his waist.
This swordsman body long, sword eyebrow starry eyes, looks very quiet elegant noble, a head of black hair hanging behind, just two sides slightly gathered up some, with a green cloth belt tied in the middle, the rest of the hair is still scattered, but in the wind will not be scattered to the two sides of the cheeks before, this kind of hair, don't have some dashing and uninhibited posture.
He looked to be in his twenties, but his every move was very calm and smooth, the carriage arrived in front of the wine store, then stopped under the sycamore tree against one side of the wall, to make sure that it wouldn't affect other people's passage, the silver-shirted swordsmith stepped into the wine store without any haste or slowdown.
Ding Ning looked at the quietly elegant and noble silver-shirted Swordmaster who walked in, his eyebrows slightly raised.
With just a single glance at the crane-shaped talisman engraved on the hilt of the silver-shirted swordsmith's white jade sword, he already knew the origin of this unexpected guest.
He clearly realized that this uninvited guest was related to the chu man who had arrived not long ago.
The alley was very short, so although this silver-shirted swordmaster's every move was calm and gentle, it was only when he walked into this wine store and appeared in Ding Ning's line of sight that Xu Heshan, who had managed to regain his senses, had just taken in a deep breath, his lips moving slightly as he prepared to make a sound.
It was only at this moment that Changsun Shallow Snow's gaze also landed on this Swordmaster's body.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on this sword master.
Xu Heshan was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by the arrival of this sword master, he lagged, naturally unhappy in his heart.
The silver-shirted sword master took a glance to see that there were actually so many students in the store, but he was also slightly stunned, and when his eyes touched Changsun Shaxue again, a trace of shock clearly appeared in his eyes as well.
However, in the next instant, he did not lose his composure, slightly curtsied to Changsun Shallow Snow, and said in a loud voice, "Under the seat of Li Ling Jun, Chen Li Mo, I have met Miss Changsun Shallow Snow."
Xu Heshan's face abruptly changed.
Nangong Cai Beans raised his eyebrows, his thin eyebrows like two small swords.
Xie Changsheng snorted softly and coldly.
The reactions of the students on their sides also varied, but their eyes were all more or less naturally lit up with a strong killing intent.
Because this is about the shame of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Li Ling Jun is the Chu Dynasty prince who exchanged six hundred miles of Qin's fertile land for a single person.
These young talents of Changling's academies will surely be famous cultivators in the future, and what they bear is naturally different from those ragtag families in the marketplace, so they don't need to be instigated by any words, and hostility will naturally rise in their hearts.
However, unlike those unusual marketplace barbarians, each of them were very clear that the Li Ling Jun was not an unusual figure.
Apart from being the son of an emperor, Li Ling Jun's experience could even be described as "miserable".
His mother was originally a courtesan who was favored by the Emperor of Chu and gave birth to Li Ling Jun. However, a few years later, she was sentenced to death because her words had offended the Emperor of Chu.
In order not to see the end, the emperor of Chu casually sealed a piece of fiefdom who do not look at the fief sent Li Lingjun, let him away from their own line of sight, it is said that that is still the result of some people in the court to advise, otherwise the emperor of Chu's heart, may be a secret order to let Li Lingjun directly go to follow the deceased mother may also be possible.
However, even if the fiefdom of Li Ling Jun is far away from the royal city of Da Chu Dynasty, far enough to be forgotten, when Da Chu Dynasty needs a prince as a hostage to exchange for the city of Da Qin Dynasty, the Chu Emperor remembers him immediately!
Anyone was well aware that the fate of hostages from various countries was mostly miserable.
For those emperors who held the lives and deaths of countless armies and cultivators in their hands, when the conquest started, they would never care about the life or death of one of their least favorite sons.
It was just that as a Chu man who came from afar and did not have much of a family background, in less than ten years in Changling, Li Ling Jun had already become a pivotal big shot.
There were already more than a thousand diners under his door, including hundreds of cultivators.
No one knew how he was able to slowly climb up from the position of an outcast to today's position in Changling, yet everyone was certain in their hearts that there were bound to be many things in his body that were difficult for ordinary people to reach.
For the students of the various academies who had not yet become such an existence themselves, it was natural for them to be in awe of such a figure.
With the voice of this cultivator Chen Moli under the seat of the Li Ling Monarch, the gazes of Xie Changsheng and the others once again gathered on Changsun Shaxue's body.
However, to everyone's surprise, Changsun Shaxue didn't say anything.
She was literally like a fairy that walked out of a painting, only slightly frowning before turning around and walking back to the backyard.
Such a reaction caused Chen Mo Li to not only be stunned.
Changsun Shaxue's action made Xie Changsheng also froze, but then seeing Chen Moli's somewhat embarrassed face, this proud young man from a prestigious Guanzhong clan was the more pained he felt in his heart.
He suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that his eyes narrowed, while the mocking look in his eyes was getting thicker and thicker.
"Thinking that you can bluff people by bringing out the Lord of Li Ling, it's a pity that the Lord of Li Ling isn't any of Changling's marquis, or else Miss Changsun Shallow Xie might be able to reason."
Ding Ning quietly looked at Xie Changsheng, feeling the courage of this proud young man with many flaws, his heart's evaluation of Xie Changsheng was suddenly a bit higher.
Chen Mo Li's hand unconsciously fell on the hilt of his sword.
The swallow sparrow does not know the will of the great swan, the two themselves are not the existence of a world, transcendence and culmination, sometimes it just comes from by heart not caring, in Chen Mo Li's heart, these students at least at the moment and he is not a class of existence at all, so there is no expression on his handsome countenance, not even a trace of anger.
Compared to the countless clans in Changling, regardless of the rise and fall, Li Ling Jun was after all just an outsider, even if these students' words were even more unpleasant, he still wouldn't care.
But today, it is determined that Changsun Shaxue is the person that Li Ling Jun is aiming to win, this matter is unprecedentedly important, he will need to have a quiet conversation environment, he will need to do something.
"How old are you? You don't learn the sword properly, but you do unnecessary things."
The expression on his face remained unchanged, he didn't even look at Xie Changsheng, he just shook his head and said this softly.
Xie Changsheng was very young.
He was about the same height as Ding Ning, and was similarly somewhat thin, even the satin robes on his body seemed a bit loose, and when he smiled unusually, he could only be described as cute.
However, he was already a cultivator.
Hearing Chen Mo Li's words, all the people around him who were usually familiar with Xie Changsheng's temperament breathed a sigh of relief.
A chill settled in the air.
Frost seemed to form on Xie Changsheng's small face as he remained silent for several breaths of time, then he tilted his head slightly, looked at Chen Moli, shook his head, and said, "I hope that your sword makes me feel that you have the qualifications to say these words."
Chen Mo Li smiled slightly.
He did not say anything.
However there was an inexplicable aura that suddenly precipitated outward from his body.
A wind suddenly blew in the wine store.
All the students' breathing all stopped.
Chen Mo Li still did not move, but the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that surged outside of him grew stronger and stronger.
Snort...
In the end, it was like there were countless tiny wind holes around his body, countless invisible heaven and earth yuan qi blowing outwards, even though this rate of precipitation seemed to be very gentle to the eyes of the cultivators, the strong force, however, still caused the tables and chairs around him to naturally move outwards.
Xie Changsheng's eyes grew even colder, while his face unconsciously began to pale a bit.
The satin robes on him and all the students around him hunted in the wind.
This was the fourth realm.
Only cultivators who had reached the fourth realm could fuse yuan and store qi, fusing a portion of heaven and earth yuan qi in their own true essence during normal cultivation and turning their body into a container that could store some heaven and earth yuan qi.
Nangong Cai Beans' eyelashes were constantly trembling, her heart was furious, but at the same time, she was also helpless.
However, right at this moment, the aura on Chen Mo Li's body was starting to weaken again.
It was as if some embankment had built up within him, emitting a strange sound.
"I'm older than you guys, and using my realm to suppress you, I don't think it's possible for you guys to be convinced."
Chen Mo Li calmly looked at these students of Changling and blandly said, "Who is the most powerful amongst you... I can suppress my cultivation to the same realm as him. As long as he can defeat me, I will apologize and leave. But if I win, then I will ask you all to leave immediately."
