Chu Kuangren had disappeared for three years. His deeds were gradually overshadowed by other sky-prides, but there were still some who did not forget.
For example, in the Northern Lingdao State, Chu Kuangren's name was still a cultivator, a legend passed down by the people.
His deed of killing a hundred thousand demonic cultivators and saving the Daoist State was recorded in history. Countless cultivators looked up to him as a role model.
Yun Fei Yang was one of them.
"The Northern Lingdao State. After the demonic onslaught, how has it been lately?" Chu Kuangren asked as he reminisced.
He was just asking casually, but to Yun Fei Yang, it seemed like Chu Kuangren cared about the people, which made him respect him even more.
"Ever since the demonic onslaught, the Daoist State has suffered great losses. The various sects and schools have lost many talents, but they have gradually recovered in recent years. The Mountain River Sect has also been rebuilt," Yun Fei Yang said.
"That's good to hear."
"By the way, Brother Chu, are you going to Sword Prayer City too?"
"Sword Prayer City?" Chu Kuangren was slightly confused.
Seeing the expression on his face, Yun Fei Yang knew that he had misunderstood, so he said, "Sword Prayer City is holding a Great Sword Tournament recently, and many cultivators are going there to join in the fun. I thought Brother Chu would be the same."
"Oh, you're all going to Sword Prayer City?"
"Yes."
"That's great, let's go together." Chu Kuangren's interest was piqued.
"Really? That's great!" Yun Fei Yang was even more excited now. To be able to travel with his idol was something he dreamed of.
Along the way, Yun Fei Yang was very friendly towards Chu Kuangren, and the others were also very curious about this peerless sky-pride. However, unlike Yun Fei Yang, they only observed in silence and did not interact much with him.
"Sword Prayer City is the place with the highest concentration of swordsmiths in the Azure Dragon Domain. Its history can be traced back tens of thousands of years."
"The swords forged by Sword Prayer City are very famous in the Azure Dragon Domain and even the Firmament Star, especially the Centennial Swords. Each of them is a weapon that sword cultivators dream of owning. Every time they appear, many people will be attracted …"
Yun Fei Yang said beside Chu Kuangren.
The Hundred Year Famed Sword referred to a famed sword that was forged every hundred years in the Sword Reverence City. Every time the sword was forged, a Great Sword Assembly would be held, inviting sword cultivators from all over the world to seek a suitable owner for the famed sword.
The Hundred Year Swords were about to appear in the world. Currently, all the sword cultivators in the Azure Dragon Region were rushing towards the Sword Reverence City.
Even some cultivators who were not sword cultivators ran over to join in the fun.
"The Blackheaven Sect specializes in the Sword Dao, and they have some friendly relations with the Sword Prayer City. Thirty percent of the swords on the Sword Mountain originate from the Sword Prayer City."
"In addition, little fellow, the Descendant Self Sword in your hand is also one of the famous swords of Sword Reverence City." At this moment, the Seventh Ancestor transmitted his voice over.
A look of surprise flashed across Chu Kuangren's eyes.
"The Sword Reverence City can forge saint swords?"
"That's not the case. Not many swords are forged into Holy Swords. Swords become spiritual because they are wielded. The Kunwu Holy Sword became a Holy Sword because of an ancestor of the Mysterious Sky Sect."
"Actually, it's the same whether it's a sword or any other weapon. Most Sage Artifacts weren't Sage Artifacts in the beginning. They were only nurtured by Sages and were tainted by Sages' Daoist Rhymes, gradually becoming Sage Artifacts …"
"It's just that some weapons are more likely to become Sage Artifacts because of the material they were made of, or they become more powerful after becoming Sage Artifacts …"
"A good weapon's grade will continue to increase as the cultivator's cultivation level increases. It's not impossible for it to become an Emperor Weapon in the end. The Sword Prayer City's Century Sword is such a weapon …"
The Seventh Forefather gave Chu Kuangren some basic knowledge.
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. He had read about this in the ancient books before, but the Seventh Forefather's explanation was more straightforward and easier to understand.
…
A day later, Chu Kuangren and the others arrived at the Sword Prayer City.
The city was very lively with people coming and going. Blacksmith shops could be seen on both sides of the street, and the sound of metal clanking could be heard constantly.
Some of the clanking sounds were very noisy, while others were very pleasing to the ear. They carried a mysterious Daoist Rhyme, like a piece of music …
Other than the blacksmith shops, sword cultivators could be seen everywhere in the Sword Prayer City. Be it men or women, young or old, nine out of ten cultivators that Chu Kuangren saw had Sword-based Daoist Rhymes.
Chu Kuangren's Daoist heart was a little excited when he arrived.
He had the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, which was naturally compatible with sword Dao. Now that he was in the Sword Prayer City, he felt like a fish in water.
"Interesting." Chu Kuangren smiled.
That feeling made him very happy.
He had made the right decision to come to the Sword Prayer City.
"Brother Yun, let's part ways here."
Chu Kuangren cupped his fists at Yun Fei Yang.
"Yes, Brother Chu. Goodbye." Yun Fei Yang was a little reluctant to leave. Although he had only spent a day with his idol, he was already deeply attracted to his idol's personality.
Looking at Chu Kuangren's departing figure, Yun Fei Yang secretly made up his mind. From now on, he would work hard in his cultivation and strive to become an outstanding cultivator like his idol.
After parting ways with Yun Fei Yang and the others, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu planned to find an inn to stay in.
Since the Great Sword Tournament was about to begin, many cultivators had arrived in the Sword Forge City. Almost all the inns were full.
However, this was not a problem for Chu Kuangren. With his wealth, he could easily build an inn with soulstones.
After they found a place to stay, night fell.
The Sword Prayer City's night market was very lively. Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu strolled along the streets and passed by a stall.
The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man in a gray robe. In front of him were pieces of strangely shaped stones.
Each stone was labeled with a price. Even the cheapest one cost a hundred Top-tier soulstones. This was a price that most cultivators could not afford.
"These raw stones look pretty good."
"Yes, they are. However, even a Top-tier ore is only worth a few hundred Top-tier soulstones. This middle-tier ore is priced at a hundred Top-tier soulstones. That's a little high."
"There are so many rich people in this world anyway. There's no need to worry that no one will buy them. Look, those few over there are enjoying themselves."
The stall was surrounded by a crowd.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu also joined in the fun.
"They're gambling on stones," Chu Kuangren said after watching for a while.
In places where spiritual qi gathered, stones with rare minerals would occasionally form. These stones were known as ores.
The surface of ores was very special. Spiritual thoughts could not penetrate it, so one could only rely on one's eyesight and experience to determine its value. Sometimes, an ordinary ores could contain top-grade minerals that were worth tens or hundreds of times more. Sometimes, the ores that were bought at a high price turned out to be worthless.
"Young man, do you want to give it a try?" The stall owner saw that Chu Kuangren was interested, so he invited him.
Chu Kuangren thought for a while and squatted down. He smiled and said, "Then I'll pick a few to play with."
After all, he had a lot of soulstones in his Yin and Yang Ring, so he could afford to play with them.
He casually pointed at a black stone. "This one."
The crowd saw that he did not even look at it carefully before randomly picking one. They immediately knew that he was a newbie in the stone gambling circle.
