Weapon Master

Chapter 834 - Pure Yang Sword Tablet

With regards to Tang Huan's suggestion, no one had any objections.

Chen You, Hu Qin, Qin Xiu and a lady called Hu Tong took their respective rooms, while Tang Huan, Hu Xuan and the rest of the nine stayed in the courtyard. Traveling continuously for dozens of days, everyone was tense. Now that they had reached Yan Yang City, everyone was completely relaxed.

Very quickly, Hu Xuan and the rest calmed their hearts and became immersed in cultivation.

Tang Huan was also seated cross legged on a praying mat, a look of deep thought flashed past his eyes, and at the moment, he was holding a fiery-red jade tablet in his hand. The jade tablet was round and could be grasped with only one hand. Within it, dense lines interweaved to form a peculiar sword shape. An incomparably fierce and sharp intent was concealed without being revealed.

However, if one were to flip this round jade tablet over, the lines would no longer form a sword, but rather a character. That character was known as "Brilliant!"

Shining, was naturally Hu Chan's Shining!

The round jade tablet was the "Pure Yang Sword Tablet" that Hu Chan had given to Tang Huan!

Before Hu Chan passed away, besides giving Tang Huan the "Intangible Buddha" and his own memories, he also gave him a precious thing, which was the "Pure Yang Sword Plate".

Two thousand years ago, Hu Chan was not only an expert of the Tiger Clan, he was also one of the seven "Great Elders of the Pure Yang Sword Sect."

The reason why Tang Huan had left the inner area of the Tiger Vigour Summit that day was precisely because of the "Pure Yang Sword Tablet". With Hu Chan's "Pure Yang Sword Tablet", Tang Huan could join the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" as her direct disciple. Pure Yang Sword Sect was the strongest power in the Yan State, and their cultivation resources were far from what they could compare to. If he could enter the "Pure Yang Sword Sect", Tang Huan's cultivation speed would definitely increase even more.

But when he entered the Yan Yang City, Tang Huan realized that his thoughts were too simple.

If one were to join the "Pure Yang Sword Sect", one of the direct disciples of one of the Seven Great Elders, Hu Chan, would definitely become the person with the highest seniority in the entire sect. Even the current "Pure Yang Sword Sect" s Sect Master, elders, and even supreme elders would not be able to surpass Tang Huan in terms of seniority.

Hu Chan was no longer present. The strong ones from the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" would definitely not be willing to allow their heads to have an additional young ancestor with a frightening seniority.

Especially this little ancestor, who only had the cultivation of Rank Six True Spirit.

If Tang Huan had brought the "Pure Yang Swordplate" to his doorstep just like that, it was very possible that the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" he was talking to, was not being treated warmly, but had instead been treated with contempt, and if the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" s elites were to think sinister about it, it was even possible that they could secretly kill him.

Even if he temporarily joined in, his future life in the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" wouldn't be too easy.

If the tree is in the forest, the wind will destroy it!

"We should first use the normal way to join 'Pure Yang Sword Sect', and wait for the sect to gain a foothold. If the opportunity comes, we can then take out the 'Pure Yang Sword Tablet'!"

Tang Huan thought quickly and made a decision.

With a flash of red light, the "Pure Yang Sword Tablet" entered the "Sumeru Magical Ring". Tang Huan calmed his mind and closed his eyes, immersing himself in cultivation just like Hu Xuan and the others.

"Everyone, look at this!"

After an unknown period of time, a rough voice suddenly sounded, awakening Tang Huan and the others who were currently cultivating in the courtyard. When they opened their eyes, they saw that it was already the morning of the next day. After a short moment, everyone's gaze all landed on Hu Xuan who was walking in from the courtyard at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the doors to the two rooms were pushed open, and Chen You, Hu Qin, Qin Xiu and Hu Tong ran out.

"This was prepared specially by the Swordsman House for cultivators who want to join the 'Pure Yang Sword Sect'. I spent two of my 'Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal s'!" While speaking, Hu Xuan had already walked to the center of the courtyard, and handed the thin booklet in his hand to Tang Huan who had just stood up, his face filled with pain.

When everyone heard this, they were greatly surprised.

"Oh?"

Tang Huan was also surprised, and quickly flipped through the pages.

In just a few breaths of time, Tang Huan had already flipped to the last page and handed the booklet to someone else.

Inside the book, there were some things to note, and they were all targeted at the cultivators that wanted to join the "Pure Yang Sword Sect".

According to the information revealed by Hu Lie, the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" would hold a "Sword Testing Competition" at the "Sword Testing Grounds" every two months. Any cultivator under the age of thirty could attend, and as long as they could pass the "Sword Testing Competition" examination, they would become an official disciple of the Pure Yang Sword Sect.

However, according to the description in the thin book, the "Sword Testing Competition" was no longer like it was before.

Not far from the "Swordsman House", there was a place called the "Sword-fighting Villa".

That was a competition area. If one participated in a battle there, they could obtain ten points. If they fought to a draw, they could obtain five points. If they lost, they would have to lose ten points until they scored zero. Anyone who wishes to become a disciple of the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" must first enter the "Sword-fighting Villa". With a accumulated score of more than one hundred, they can register to become a "Sword Testing Competition", and with a accumulated score of more than five hundred, they can directly become a disciple of the "Pure Yang Sword Sect".

One had to say, the appearance of this new rule was indeed enough to greatly reduce the pressure on the Sword Testing Grounds. Hu Lie had once revealed that every time the "Sword Testing Competition" opened, the number of cultivators that attended would reach tens of thousands, and sometimes, the number of people would even exceed a hundred thousand.

This way, having the participants of the "Sword Testing Competition" every two months, being able to attain ten percent of their previous achievements was pretty good. Of course, this kind of "Sword Testing Competition" would definitely have a higher value than before. However, this new rule was not good news for many people.

To participate in the "Sword-fighting Villa" battles, he had to turn in twenty "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal" each time.

After the battle ended, both sides would have paid the price of 40 [Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal s]. The winner would get 30 of them, and the other 10 would be taken by the Sword-fighting Villa. If he continued to win, he would instead be able to earn some "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal". However, if he failed, his losses would be much greater.

If they continued to fail, some of the less wealthy cultivators might not even be able to withstand the pressure.

As such, after the thin book was circulated, everyone's expression became ugly. According to the standards of the entire Yan State, Firing Dragon Mountain Range could be considered to be one of the poorer forces.

Last time, Team Fifty received several hundred thousand "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal" after completing their mining mission, and pretty much emptied half of Tiger Clan's stock. Before their departure, the Tiger Clan gave each of them a thousand [Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal], and placed them inside Tang Huan's Space Aircraft.

This number seemed to be quite a lot, but if he were to use it for cultivation or to stay in a shop, he would probably become a pauper if he were to lose a few more times in the "Sword-fighting Villa".

"Everyone, don't worry about the Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal. Don't forget, I am a Lower Grade Heavenly Blacksmith, if we do not have enough Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal, I will forge a few weapons for everyone!" Seeing everyone's expression, Tang Huan smiled, and said: "Now, we should still go to 'Sword-fighting Villa' to see what is going on."

"..."

Hearing Tang Huan's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
