The introduction was simple, but the direction was clear. Lin Xuan thought for a while and decided to choose Purple Spirit Eyes. This martial art was more comprehensive, and it should be very effective when combined with his sword attacks.
Purple Spirit Eyes required 150 battle merits. Lin Xuan spent all the battle merits he got from the mission. Fortunately, he had 30 battle merits from repairing weapons, which was just enough.
After obtaining the cultivation method of Purple Spirit Eyes, Lin Xuan, Feng Bufan, and Human returned to their residence and entered their own courtyards. Back in his room, Lin Xuan first practiced the Longevity Secret Art once, then comprehended the sword intent. Finally, he took out the new Purple Spirit Eyes cultivation method.
Purple Spirit Eyes was divided into three stages. The first stage was orange, which could see through illusions and flaws. It could also reduce the enemy's speed, confuse them, and other negative effects.
The second stage was red, which could be used to perform soul assassination and other attacks.
The third stage was purple, which could be used to hypnotize the enemy and control them.
According to the above description and Lord Alcohol's guidance, Lin Xuan began the cultivation of Purple Spirit Eyes.
…
North Guard City was considered a medium-sized city. Other than being heavily guarded and having many warriors, it was similar to an ordinary city. In fact, it was even more developed than an ordinary city.
The market here had a complete range of materials and reasonable prices. Many warriors from Yunzhou came here because of its reputation and fought to buy it. Moreover, not only was the market developed, but the industries of refining weapons, refining elixirs, and restaurants were also very developed. Because the customers were all warriors, they were more professional.
The Four Seas Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in North Guard City. The ingredients inside were all spiritual herbs and demonic beasts. There were no ordinary goods. Many warriors liked to eat here. Most of them came from all over the world and often brought news of the underworld.
The Four Seas Restaurant had five floors. The interior was decorated magnificently and extravagantly. The hall on the first floor had the most seats. Although it was lively, it was too noisy. Usually, warriors with some money would go to the second floor.
There were also many people on the second floor, but it was relatively quiet. There was a row of private rooms on the east side for warriors who liked peace and quiet. The rooms on the third floor and above were all private rooms for important people.
On the second floor by the window, Feng Bufan and Human were leisurely sitting there, listening to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators as they looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Why isn't Junior Brother Lin here yet?" Human asked.
"I heard that he's cultivating. He'll come over later." Feng Bufan said, "Junior Brother Lin sure is hardworking. No wonder you are so strong at such a young age."
The two of them estimated the time and ordered their food. Not long after, a handsome young man dressed in black walked up to the second floor.
"Junior Brother Lin, over here!" Human shouted.
Lin Xuan smiled and walked over. He pulled out a chair and slowly sat down. He said comfortably, "It's really lively here!"
"That's right. The Four Seas Restaurant's two main specialties are its food and information." Human smiled and said, "The news here is not only from the Cloud State, but also from the other six states."
Lin Xuan nodded and kept looking around. After experiencing such an exciting life and death battle, the bustling city made him feel as if he was dreaming.
A beautiful maid presented a delicious meal. Looking at the delicious food, Lin Xuan's appetite was greatly aroused.
"This is the paw of an Earth Demon Bear. It's very delicious and can strengthen the muscles and bones." Feng Bufan said, "Junior Brother Lin, try it."
"Earth Demon Bear, a second rank monster beast!" Lin Xuan was surprised. The Four Seas Restaurant was really generous. Even the ordinary dishes were made of monster beast meat.
Lin Xuan and the other two ate happily and chatted from time to time. However, most of the time, they were listening to the conversations of others.
At the table closest to them, there were four burly men. Their eyes were shining and there was a murderous aura around them. It was obvious that they were people who walked on the edge of a knife all year round.
These people were around thirty years old and they were talking about the recent happenings in the Underworld. Lin Xuan and the others were amazed.
Among them, a few burly men were also talking about the Sword Lake Mansion.
One of the burly men said, "The Sword Lake Mansion is indeed worthy of being one of the four big clans of Xia Country. I heard that Lin Feng recently defeated Tian Cang Sword and obtained the fifth rank of the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"Yeah, that 'Tian Cang Sword' Ye Gufan is a fifth Sea of Soul Realm warrior. I didn't expect him to lose. Lin Feng is really strong!"
"He is only eighteen years old and he is already so strong. I think it is only a matter of time before he enters the Harmonious Spirit Realm."
"I think the title of the young master of the Sword Lake Mansion will fall on his head sooner or later …"
Lin Xuan listened to them silently without any expression on his face. The Lin Feng they were talking about was Lin Xuan's clansmen. Moreover, it was Lin Feng's father who had planned to drive him out of the Sword Lake Mansion. He and Lin Feng would have a battle in the future.
Lin Xuan had also heard about the Hidden Dragon Ranking. It was a ranking in Xia Country, specifically for young warriors under thirty years old. Those who were on the ranking were all young geniuses, monstrous figures. It could be said that those who were able to enter the Hidden Dragon Ranking had a high chance of entering the Harmonious Spirit Realm in the future.
The so-called Harmonious Spirit Realm was the realm above the Sea of Soul Realm.
Above the Sea of Soul Realm were the three Spirit Realms. The Harmonious Spirit Realm was one of them. After that were the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Spirit Detecting Realm.
As for the realm above the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was almost impossible to find it in the whole of Xia Country. It was also impossible to find it in the nearby countries. Perhaps it could only exist in stronger countries and sects.
"Hidden Dragon Ranking …" Lin Xuan whispered, "I wonder how many people from the three sects will be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
"Junior Brother Lin doesn't know?" Human asked doubtfully.
Seeing Lin Xuan shake his head, she continued, "A total of fourteen people from our three sects will be able to enter the ranking. Among them, four from the Black Sky Sect, four from the Purple Cloud Sect, and six from the Lotus Glory Sect."
"However, there are only three people from the three sects who will be able to enter the top hundred!"
"Three people?" Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback. The three sects were considered powerful forces in the Cloud Prefecture. There were also some aristocratic families and independent cultivators. According to his estimation, there were only about ten people in the entire Cloud Prefecture who could enter the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
"It seems like the Cloud Prefecture is considered relatively weak in Xia Country." Lin Xuan thought to himself. Fortunately, he had Lord Alcohol. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Lin Feng in a year and a half.
A few burly men at the side continued, "Let's not talk about anything else. There are also a few pretty good youths in the Cloud Prefecture. I believe that in a few years, entering the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon Ranking won't be a problem."
"I'm more optimistic about the Black Sky Sect's Wan Jianxing. It's said that his sword force has already reached a very profound level. He doesn't even need to make a move. He can defeat his opponent just by relying on his sword force."
"Yuan Fei from the Lotus Sect isn't bad either. Furthermore, he's on the path of body refinement. Once he cultivates it, he'll be extremely powerful. Even Wan Jianxing is ranked behind him."
"It's said that the Purple Cloud Fairy from the Purple Cloud Sect has already cultivated the Purple Cloud Technique to an extremely high level. Even some of the older generation figures have been defeated by her!"
The few of them discussed fervently as they listed the geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture.
"I'm sure you guys don't know. Recently, there's news from the Black Sky Sect that a disciple has comprehended Sword Intent. If it's true, I'm afraid there will be another peerless genius! "a burly man at another table said loudly.
"Sword Intent? That's a realm that all swordsmen dream of. Is there really someone who can comprehend it slowly? "
This news alarmed the entire second floor. Many people turned their heads to look at it in bewilderment.
Feng Bufan and Human Being looked at Lin Xuan with strange expressions. Lin Xuan gave a wry smile as he unconsciously rubbed his chin.
At that moment, a voice came from the private room on the east side. "Hmph, a bunch of mountain villagers. Is Sword Intent something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can comprehend?"
The voice was filled with disdain and a hint of arrogance.
