Throughout the history of the Jianghu, those who could become Martial Dao Grandmasters as rogue cultivators were few and far between, and those who could achieve the True Fire Spirit Refinement State were even rarer. Fang Jinwu was one of them, and Chu Xiu had heard of his name.
This person was neither good nor evil, and it was said that he had a rough background. In his early years, he dominated the Northern Yan Pugilistic World. He was slightly younger than the Old Ancestor of the Northern Floating Snow City, but he was already over 300 years old, and his blood and Qi were declining.
When he was old, Fang Jinwu went into seclusion in the Empty Valley in the South of Yan Kingdom. That was how he got the title of Empty Valley Lord.
However, Fang Jinwu was only in closed-door seclusion. He wasn't like the old ancestor of the Driftsnow City in the extreme north, who was simply using all sorts of methods to drag out an ignoble existence.
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said, "Ren Qianli is a disciple that Fang Jinwu took in after he went into seclusion. He is extremely talented and took less than thirty years to step into the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. And because his master is not from a sect or family, the Northern Yan Imperial Court is very confident in him. With his military exploits, he was promoted to a high position.
Also, because he is half a member of the Pugilistic World, before you came, Ren Qianli was in charge of almost all the Pugilistic World affairs in the Northern Yan.
The young man just now should be Ren Qianli's junior, Chen Jinting. I heard that Fang Jinwu accepted another young man as his disciple in recent years, so it should be Chen Jinting. "
"So, I was the one who blocked his path?"
No wonder he felt that Ren Qianli seemed to be very hostile towards him. Now it seemed that Ren Qianli had been unhappy with him for a long time.
Of course, Chu Xiu didn't care. There were many people in the Pugilistic World who disliked him, and he didn't care about Ren Qianli.
At this time, Bai Wuji walked straight to Chu Xiu and stood beside Chu Xiu. "Official Chu, long time no see."
Bai Wuji's voice was a little sad. Chu Xiu didn't expect that Bai Wuji would take the initiative to greet him.
Chu Xiu and Bai Wuji were old acquaintances, they had known each other since they were still in the Xiantian Realm.
However, not to mention Chu Xiu, who had already jumped out of the Dragon and Tiger List, Bai Wuji couldn't even be compared to Xie Xiao Lou and the others. After cultivating for so long, Bai Wuji had only just reached the Five Qis Gathering Origin Stage, and his battle prowess had not been tempered yet, so his battle prowess couldn't be considered too strong.
So now that they were in two different worlds, Chu Xiu didn't even bother to look for trouble with Bai Wuji. Of course, that was if Bai Wuji didn't mess with him.
Seeing that Bai Wuji wasn't hostile, Chu Xiu nodded, "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."
Bai Wuji raised his cup and toasted Chu Xiu, "Brother Chu, you and I did have some conflicts in the past, but at that time, we were both young and full of vigor. After so many years, I've come to accept it. The grudges we had when we were young are really laughable. In our generation, you and the Young Celestial Master have both stepped out of the Dragon and Tiger List, your future is limitless. It is sad to be born in the same generation as you two, but at the same time, it is also a blessing. Let's drink! "
With that, Bai Wuji took a step forward and toasted to Chu Xiu again, then turned around and left.
Mei Qinglian was surprised, "Oh, this Bai Clan's kid seems to understand. It's not easy."
Chu Xiu drank a cup of wine and secretly gave Mei Qinglian a piece of paper. There were no words written on it, but if you looked closely, you would see that it was written with an extremely meticulous internal force, and it would disappear after a while.
There was only one sentence written on the paper, and it looked like it was written in a hurry.
"Brother Chu, save me! I am willing to give you the whereabouts of the Yin and Yang Sorrowful Poem in exchange for Brother Chu's help! "
When Bai Wuji walked towards him and said those words, he felt something was wrong, because it didn't seem like Bai Wuji's style.
Bai Wuji didn't have many flaws, his only flaw was that he was too arrogant.
Back in the Northern Yan, he looked down on Chu Xiu and even Nie Dongliu.
Later, when he came to the Jianghu, he thought that the people on the Dragon and Tiger List were all mediocre.
It wasn't until he was severely defeated by Shen Bai's sword that his temper stabilized a little.
However, the words he said just now didn't seem like something Bai Wuji would say. It wasn't until he drank the last cup of wine and Bai Wuji handed him the paper, that Chu Xiu was sure that his guess was right, Bai Wuji really had some problems, some concerns, and even to the point that he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The contents of the paper must have been hastily written down after seeing Chu Xiu. There were only two thoughts in the paper, one was to save him, and the other was that as long as Chu Xiu saved him, Chu Wuji would give him the whereabouts of one of the Great Sorrowful Poems of Yin and Yang in exchange.
As for what kind of crisis he encountered in the Northern Floating Snow City, and how he wanted Bai Wuji to save him, the paper didn't say anything, or rather, Bai Wuji didn't have the time to write so many things.
Mei Qinglian was flabbergasted as she transmitted her voice, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu's face had an unfathomable smile, "I don't know what it means, but I do know that it's very interesting."
Initially, he thought that coming to the Northern Floating Snow City was just a formality. Who would have thought that he would encounter such an interesting matter?
What secret was the Northern Floating Snow City's Bai Clan hiding exactly?
At this moment, Bai Hanfeng noticed Bai Wuji's actions. He couldn't help but frown, "City Lord, why is Wuji looking for Chu Xiu? Could he be thinking of something bad? "
Bai Hantian calmly replied, "Seeing a genius like Chu Xiu, he's just feeling a little emotional. Don't worry, since he's my son, and also the successor that the Northern Floating Snow City nurtured with all their resources, he should be willing to pay the price for the sake of the Northern Floating Snow City. For the sake of the greater picture, he should know what to do."
Bai Hanfeng sighed and shook his head. If it wasn't for the greater picture, the Northern Floating Snow City wouldn't be willing to sacrifice such a talented genius like Bai Wuji.
"It's almost time. City Lord, let's begin." Bai Hanfeng spoke.
Bai Hantian nodded his head. He then stood up and spoke to the crowd in a low voice, "Everyone, this isn't the first time that our Driftsnow City has come to offer our well wishes. However, we still have to express our gratitude. Our Driftsnow City truly thanks everyone for their support."
Some of the people present listened attentively, while others secretly rolled their eyes.
You also know that this isn't the first time you're offering your well wishes? Why must you do this? Must you wait until the old ancestor of the Northern Floating Snow City dies?
However, the people present didn't say anything. This could be considered as giving Bai Hantian some face.
At this moment, Bai Hantian was still feeling very good about himself. He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, the birthday celebration this time around is different from the past. It's the 400th birthday of my old ancestor. Hence, when everyone departs, my Northern Floating Snow City will also present a gift to all of you."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. In the past, they would always send gifts. But this time around, the Northern Floating Snow City was finally generous and changed to a gift?
"Next, I would like to invite the old ancestor to say a few words."
Bai Hantian waved his hands as someone opened up a gate. Instantly, a wave of extreme coldness gushed forth. This was none other than the aura of the old ancestor of the Driftsnow City. The pressure of a true fire expert at the Spirit-Refinement realm didn't seem to be weakened at all.
For so many years, the old ancestor of the Driftsnow City didn't even show his face once. In fact, when some major events happened in the past, he would always sit in the Driftsnow City. This also caused many people to secretly laugh at the old ancestor of the Driftsnow City. A True Fire Spirit-Refinement Realm expert was actually so cowardly.
But from the looks of it now, although the old ancestor was cowardly, at the very least, it was effective. If the old ancestor was more aggressive in his actions and caused his early death, the Northern Floating Snow City would no longer have a true fire spirit refinement realm expert guarding it. Their prestige would definitely be much lower than it was now.
"This old man can't thank everyone enough for attending this old man's birthday celebration.
After living for four hundred years, this old man has seen too many things. Now, if I can live for another year, I will count it as another year. Whether or not I can meet everyone in the next ten years is still an unknown.
If it's not convenient for this old man to meet everyone, everyone knows that. Hence, I can only thank everyone here for coming. "
Someone immediately said, "Old senior, please live for ten thousand years. Please don't say such inauspicious words."
The old ancestor of the Northern Floating Snow City chuckled, "Living for ten thousand years? Old ancestor doesn't have the extravagant hope of living for that long. Alright, this old man won't say anything more. Everyone, please do as you please."
As the sound of his voice faded, the pressure of the true fire spirit refinement realm disappeared. This caused everyone to heave a sigh of relief.
Chu Xiu's brows twitched. He suddenly felt a little awkward.
The true fire spirit refinement realm pressure was real, but why did he feel that this old ancestor of the Northern Floating Snow City was a little cocky?
Everyone had the pressure of a martial artist. Generally speaking, this kind of pressure would only be obvious when one reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
However, whether it was a martial artist at the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man or a Martial Dao Grandmaster like Chu Xiu, as long as they were not at daggers drawn and facing the enemy, who would be so bored as to always expose their pressure? Did they have to show off their status as an expert at the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man or a Martial Dao Grandmaster?
Perhaps there were such weirdos in the pugilistic world. However, the old ancestor of the Northern Floating Snow City had already reached the true fire spirit refinement realm, and yet he was still so cocky. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a little childish.
At this moment, Bai Hantian said in a deep voice, "According to the rules, every time the old ancestor's birthday celebration, there will be an outstanding disciple who will be taught by the old ancestor. Among the young people of this generation, my son Bai Wuji is the undisputed number one in the younger generation of the Northern Floating Snow City. So this time, there is no need for a competition to choose the candidate. Let Wuji be the one. "
As soon as he said this, some of the young disciples of the Northern Floating Snow City revealed looks of envy and jealousy. At the same time, they were a little unconvinced, thinking that Bai Hantian was abusing his power for personal gain. He actually canceled the competition and let his son be taught by the old ancestor.
That was a powerhouse at the true fire spirit refinement realm. A casual word of advice from the old ancestor would be enough for them to eat for the rest of their lives.
No one noticed that when Bai Wuji walked up, his eyes were looking in the direction of Chu Xiu. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
