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 with his sword attacks, the effect should be very good.
Purple Spirit Eyes required 150 battle merits. Lin Xuan spent all the battle merits he got from the mission, but 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 Hu Man returned to their residence and went to their own courtyards. Back in his room, Lin Xuan first practiced the Secret Art of Long Life, then comprehended the sword intent, and finally 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, flaws, and so on. It could also reduce the enemy's speed, confuse, 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 Wine Lord's guidance, Lin Xuan began the cultivation of Purple Spirit Eyes.
…
North Guard City was a medium-sized city. Other than the tight security and many warriors, it was similar to a normal city, or even more developed.
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 here, but the industries of refining weapons, alchemy, 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, nothing ordinary. Many warriors liked to eat here, and most of them came from all over the world, so they often brought news of the Jianghu.
The Four Seas Restaurant had five floors, and the interior was decorated magnificently and luxuriously. The first floor had the most seats. It was lively, but it was too noisy. Generally, warriors with some money would go to the second floor.
There were also many people on the second floor, but it was relatively quiet. On the east side, there was a row of private rooms for warriors who liked peace. 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 Hu Man 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?" Hu Man 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!" Hu Man called out.
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." Hu Man 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 going through the exciting life and death battle, the bustling city made him feel like 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 the 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 Palace.
One of the burly men said, "The Sword Lake Palace is indeed one of the four great 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 Spirit Realm warrior. I didn't expect him to lose. Lin Feng is really strong!"
"He's only eighteen years old and he's already so strong. I think it's only a matter of time before he enters the Harmonious Spirit Realm."
"I think the title of the young master of the Sword Lake Palace 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 Palace. 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 the age of thirty. 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 Spirit Realm.
Above the Sea of Spirit 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 realms above the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was almost impossible to find in the whole of Xia Country. It was also almost impossible to find in the nearby countries. Perhaps only in the stronger countries and sects could there be such existences.
"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?" Hu Man asked doubtfully.
Seeing Lin Xuan shake his head, she continued, "A total of fourteen people from the 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, only three people from the three sects will be able to enter the top hundred!"
"Three people?" Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. The three sects were considered the major forces in the Cloud Prefecture. There were also some aristocratic families and independent martial artists. 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 the Wine Lord. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Lin Feng in a year and a half.
A few of the big men at the side continued, "Let's not talk about the others. There are also a few good youths in the Cloud Prefecture. I think 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 is said that his sword force has already reached a very high 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 is also not bad. Moreover, he is walking the path of body refinement. Once he cultivates, he will be incomparably powerful. Even Wan Jianxing is ranked behind him."
"It is 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 and listed the geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture.
"You guys don't know, right? Recently, there was news from the Black Sky Sect. It seems that a disciple has comprehended sword intent. If it is true, I'm afraid there will be another peerless genius! "A big man at another table said loudly.
"Sword intent? That is the realm that all swordsmen dream of. Is there really someone who can comprehend it slowly? "
This news shocked the entire second floor. Many people raised their heads and looked at him in surprise.
Feng Bufan and Hu Man both looked at Lin Xuan with strange expressions. Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and unconsciously touched his chin.
At that moment, a voice came from the private room on the east side. "Hmph, a group of mountain villagers. Is sword intent something that cats and dogs can comprehend?"
