Chapter 337 Canglan City, returning to Anjin!

Chapter 337 Canglan City, returning to Anjin!

Canglan City is located at the intersection of trade routes. Both land and water transportation must circulate here, so there is an endless stream of caravans coming and going on weekdays.

But the reason why this place became the most powerful city in the north of the Wei Dynasty was because the famous Canglan Sect was located in the Canglan Mountains fifty miles outside the city.

This vast mountain range that crisscrosses the north and south occupies 60% of the area of ​​the North. The northernmost part extends directly to the extension of the Immortal Tomb, like a crouching dragon, monitoring the situation of the Immortal Tomb at any time.

Being able to join the Canglan Sect is the biggest dream of people from the North.

Countless people are eager to come, and countless people don't want to leave even after failure. It seems that as long as they can stay in Canglan City, they will still have a chance, but... the rules of Canglan Sect are extremely harsh.

It's like an invisible whip that hits everyone who comes.

The name of this whip is, Natural Selection!

At this moment, the four major gates of Canglan City were handling a large number of people entering the city.

Everything here is in order.

A large number of guards wearing black armor patrolled and guarded. Outside every city gate, there was a long dragon-like team, with all kinds of people inside, including men and women. They were bustling with large and small packages. While they were densely packed with each other, there were also convoys. in it.

Many of them were people who came for the Canglan Sect, and every one of them had confidence and desire on their faces, feeling that they would definitely be able to successfully join the Canglan Sect.

After Jiang You wandered around with the caravan for three days, he finally arrived at the city and was queuing up with the flow of people entering the city.

He looked up at the towering city wall in front of him, and felt a faint sense of familiarity in his heart, "It's similar to the Xianyang City in the fantasy world, but it's bigger than Xianyang and has more people!"

"Reached……"

During the past few days on the road, he had been studying "Beheading Three Corpses", which caused his soul to shake several times, which made his head always feel swollen and painful. At this moment, he rubbed his eyebrows and walked quickly to the city gate.

At this time, in the orange-yellow sunset, there was a violent sound of breaking through the sky, and then there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and several figures were seen reaching the sky from a distance, in the Canglan Mountain shrouded by the sunset. Fly out, fly all the way to the left hand side of Jiang You and land, then enter from the exclusive side passage.

The appearance of these people attracted a lot of hot looks from the crowd.

"Okay, stop looking. It costs three taels of silver to enter the city."

In front of Jiang You, there is a table with two people sitting behind it, a man and a woman.

The man is very handsome, wearing a gray robe. He has his eyes closed at the moment, as if he is resting, but the energy and blood fluctuations in his body are very strong.

The woman is wearing the same gray robe. She is young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face and fair skin.

The eyes are very bright, like starlight, it is easy for people to be immersed in them and unable to extricate themselves.

"Why did you enter the city?"

"Canglan Sect!"

"Well, come and take part in the trial. Please pay another ten taels of silver. This is the Koushan Order. Meet here tomorrow morning!"

The woman had obviously seen too many people like Jiang You. At this moment, she settled down and took out a token made of mixed jade.

Jiang You took the token and squeezed it in his hand. He felt a faint dormant Qi and blood inside and knew that this should be a sign of anti-counterfeiting.

He smiled at the woman and nodded, and when he was about to enter the city, the man who had been keeping his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You can buy some things in several shops in the city today."

Jiang You didn't expect this person to say such a thing suddenly, so he also smiled at him and turned to leave.

After he left, the woman smiled at the man beside her.

"Senior Brother Luo, why did you suddenly have a kind heart and give this person some advice? I see that this person's energy and blood are weak, and his complexion is sallow. It is obvious that he wants to join our Canglan Sect, is eager for quick success, and has forcibly broken through to the Body Tempering Dacheng. If the foundation is damaged, it is impossible to pass the test."

The man said calmly: "Junior sister, your eyesight is still a bit poor."

"What? Then where did I see it wrong?"

"Everything you saw is right, but you didn't see one thing. This person is closely following the principles of boxing while walking. This is a sign that he has mastered a boxing technique. Boxing techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master, and it takes a lot of time. He is How can you slack off in your cultivation when you are so young? You obviously used boxing to lock up your energy and blood, so you misjudged me!"

"No way. I don't even have a master's degree in boxing yet. How can he, just a simple practitioner, do this? Senior brother, did you get it wrong?"

"I can only see it after I have mastered the boxing skills. I am absolutely wrong. Junior sister, please remember that what you see in your eyes may not be true. It may just be shown to you intentionally by others. I am afraid that this person is taking advantage of this. Play pig eat tiger!"

Jiang You couldn't help but smile when he heard the conversation between the two people behind him.

As Jiang You walked into the city, waves slowly started to stir in his heart.

What caught his eyes was unprecedented prosperity and prosperity.

Under the afterglow, every building here is extremely gorgeous.

The green bricks and green plants that can be seen everywhere also make this place extremely tidy.

The crowd in the city was even more numerous, and the flow was endless. Everyone's clothes were very clean, mostly silk and satin, rarely burlap, and they were walking in a hurry.

At this moment, the sun was setting and approaching dusk, and he could see the lights of thousands of houses on both sides of the street. The lights were very bright. The brightness of the earth under the light seemed to be no different from that of the day, which made him feel like he was back on the Blue Star.

"Although this world has not taken the road of science and technology, it does not mean that the standard of living is low!" He thought to himself.

He looked for inns in the city, but most of them were full. He checked several inns before he found one with vacancies, but he was quickly shocked by the price.

"Ten taels of silver a night?"

The innkeeper smiled and said: "It seems that you just came here to worship the Canglan Sect. Tomorrow is the assessment time. You just came today. Naturally, the rooms have been booked by other people who arrived first. Apart from mine, there are basically other hotels nearby. There are vacancies, but all the other houses are full. Is it expensive for ten taels of silver per night? It's definitely not expensive, and you can be a good person."

The clerk paused and looked at Jiang You carefully, "Besides, you're a body tempering master, you can't even get out ten taels of silver, right?"

"Isn't this robbery?"

The guy curled his lips and said, "Robbery? How slow is the money coming in?"

Jiang You smiled bitterly in his heart. This guy was right. When he was in the spirit, he solved several groups of robbers with his silver. He gave part of the eighty taels of silver to Sun Er and his wife, plus some of his own. After spending money and entering the city, I only have fifteen taels of silver left.

With all the money collected by the gangs of thieves, they could only stay in this shop for eight days.

"Sir, please don't hesitate. You are a poor man but a rich man. Take a good rest before the exam and adjust yourself to the best condition. Your chances of joining the Canglan Sect will also increase. Once you become a disciple of the Canglan Sect, You are too lazy to pick up this little money if it falls on the ground, but don’t let it be lost. Besides, there are still three guest rooms. After you check in one, the other two will cost you 20 taels and 30 taels respectively. , you are still cheap!”

Jiang You had to admit that this innkeeper was indeed very eloquent. He originally thought of raising prices from the ground up, but in his words, it seemed like Jiang You was getting a huge bargain.

"Okay, okay, then I'll listen to you and get a room for me!"

"Come on, this is definitely the most valuable money you have spent. You will definitely be able to successfully join the Canglan Sect tomorrow. Please come here!"

The waiter said auspicious words with a smile on his face and led Jiang You to the guest room on the second floor.

After entering, the furnishings are elegant and clean, quite stylish, and the environment is really good.

"Sir, the shop also provides medicated baths, monster meals, elixirs, and magic weapons for sale. They are all on the list on the table. If you need anything, just ring the doorbell. I will be at your service at any time."

"Okay, I've checked into a local five-star hotel!" Jiang You nodded with satisfaction as he saw how thoughtful the inn's facilities were, "Okay, I'll see you if I need anything."

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest." The guy changed the door and exited. ,

Jiang You sat at the table and looked at the list with interest. The dazzling array of extraordinary things on it really made Jiang You feel that this world has a profound foundation and has penetrated into every aspect of life at the bottom.

In comparison, Blue Star seems inadequate in this regard.

Of course, none of the above things he can afford now, but of course, he doesn't need them either.

After flipping through the roster and enriching his knowledge, he opened the window and looked outside.

It was already night outside, the city was dark, and the bright moonlight in the sky seemed to cast a mysterious veil over the black city.

“Although this place is a big city, it’s not as lively and interesting as a small town at night!”

He turned around and sat cross-legged on the carved wooden bed. While letting the longevity energy continue to nourish his body, he continued to study "Beheading Three Corpses".

The reason why he has been focusing on this technique during this period of time is because he plans to start cutting out a corpse today.

This was the best method he could think of that suited the current situation.

The soul can cut out a corpse, firstly, it can reduce the burden on the body, secondly, it will not delay one's own cultivation, thirdly, the clone has surgery, and the search for Bai Yujing can be faster.

But don't be too hasty. After all, you are cutting a knife into the soul, so you must ensure safety. No amount of caution can be used in this regard.

The night passed.

The morning sun, although not as strong as at noon, has become dazzling.

The temperature woke up the sleeping city, and soon there was a sound.

Jiang You slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the light outside the window, this body has been nourished by the longevity energy for a long time. At this stage, the foundation has been unable to rise, and the energy and blood are flowing in the body.

He stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and there was a crackling sound in his body. Then he made a fist with his hand, and a large amount of energy and blood condensed in his body, and a force came out of it.

An Jin, done!

Jiang You casually crossed the natural chasm in others' paths.

And as the first ray of dark energy emerged, he didn't need to slowly extract the dark energy from his qi and blood. Changsheng Qi directly began to transform, moving towards the completion of the dark energy at a terrifying speed.

He opened the window, and the city became lively again after dawn.

Breakfast shops opened one after another, as did other shops. The crowd gradually increased, but now seeing their hurried figures, I already knew that everyone was living under tremendous pressure.

“Canglan City, it’s not easy to live here!”

He sighed with emotion, no matter which society it is, the lives of ordinary people at the lowest level are always in a state of hardship.

"It's getting late, it's time to leave." He turned around and went downstairs, heading towards the city gate.

On the road, there were many people walking in the same direction as Jiang You, all of whom were in the realm of body tempering. Some of them even had stronger qi and blood under Jiang You's perception.

"He should be the leader in breaking through the tempered body, but I don't know what will happen after the tempered body in this world."

He and everyone came to the city gate. The two Canglan Sect disciples he saw yesterday, a man and a woman, were already waiting here. After everyone showed their tokens, they queued up and entered a nearby room in batches.

When Jiang You entered, he saw a teleportation array drawn on the ground inside. He looked at the array carefully and found that it was different from Blue Star's and was more complicated.

He and everyone entered the magic circle, and the magic circle suddenly glowed with white light. After a flash, he arrived somewhere in the Canglan Mountains.

The people who arrived first gathered in an open space in the forest. Two young men wearing blue robes and an arrogant look sat cross-legged in the void at the front, exuding bursts of momentum, making everyone feel stunned. Of course.

Another young man in a blue gown held a fan in his hand. While he was dressed luxuriously, he also had a handsome appearance. He raised his hands and laughed while chatting, attracting the gathering of other testers around him.

"Everyone, wait a moment. When everyone is here, I will announce the rules of this Koushan Conference to everyone."

As the teleportation array continued to flash, the number of people slowly increased, and at the same time it became noisy. Some familiar people gathered together and began to whisper. Several of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, talking and laughing with each other. He cast his eyes on the people around him, as if weighing them in his heart.

The two gray-clothed disciples arrived last. The gray-clothed man cupped his fists at the man sitting cross-legged in the void and said, "Senior brother, there are a total of one hundred and two, and they are all here!"

The man nodded and then shouted sharply at everyone.

"quiet!"

As soon as his words came out, they were obviously not high-pitched, but they fell in everyone's ears like thunder.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at this person nervously.

"Junior Brother Qi, please explain the rules!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

"Everyone must have some knowledge of the Koushan Conference in the past. Each of the four gates in Canglan City has a teleportation point. Everyone can enter the mountain together. As long as you find the mountain gate of my Canglan Sect in the mountain and enter among the top ten, you can Go through the outer door.

But this time there is one more thing. You all carry the tokens issued before. This time, the tokens you carry will be ranked. The tenth place requires at least three tokens to be valid. The previous Rewards will be distributed to three of them. As for how to obtain tokens, it depends on your own abilities! "

The sudden change in the rules of the Keshan Conference made everyone's expressions change, especially the one with an outstanding family background. His family had already spent a lot of money to buy the map, thinking that he would win it, but now there are several variables.

"Does this mean we are competing for tokens? What if someone loses his life during the fight?"

"Everyone depends on their abilities, regardless of life or death. Our Canglan Sect will decide the fate of a person. If anyone dares to take revenge for this in the future, it will be a provocation to the Canglan Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. For a while, everyone's eyes began to change, and they kept their distance from the people around them.

In the past, the Canglan Sect was very strict in its selection, selecting only ten people out of hundreds of people, but it has never been like this, encouraging everyone to fight and fight, but since the Canglan Sect has endorsed it, they have no fear, just like this person That said, everyone depends on their own methods!

"Okay, the time has come. You can decide for yourself when and where to enter the forest. Let's get started!"

After the man in blue said this, a few people who claimed to be powerful immediately rushed forward, while the others dispersed and entered from different places.

It didn't matter whether Jiang You came in early or late. He didn't show any nervousness at all and slowly found a place and walked in.

In the mountain forest, there are lush plants. The thick canopy blocks the sun, making the ground extremely dark and humid. The leaves are also piled thickly, and there is a rotten smell.

Jiang You naturally couldn't compete with a group of body-tempering juniors for anything. This was their opportunity to change their destiny.

He has already thought about it, as long as he can enter the outer gate in tenth place.

So as soon as he came in, he used a trace of the power of his soul, his eyes flashed, and he passed through the mountains and forests and saw the location of the Canglan Sect's mountain gate.

Although his physical body has strengthened well in the past few days and has reached dark strength, after using the power of the soul, it still puts a great burden on the body. Although the eyes and nose will not bleed, headaches are still unavoidable.

He rubbed his eyebrows with a pale face and walked towards the mountain gate.

"You've completely eaten up the Three Corpses, so you have to start quickly when you enter the outer gate."

Just as he was thinking about it, his ears suddenly twitched and he looked towards the tree crown in front of him.

"I don't want to fight, can you let me pass?"

The person hiding in the tree crown was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be discovered by this person even though he used the Turtle Breathing Technique to suppress his heartbeat and energy and blood fluctuations to a minimum.

But when he saw Jiang You's pale face and sick look, he thought that this person must be injured, so he took advantage of this opportunity.

"It's easy to say, keep the token!"

"Token, this won't work. I still have to use this thing to enter the outer door."

"Then you can't blame me!"

The man smiled ferociously and jumped down from the tree crown. Using his momentum, he punched straight towards Jiang You's door.

Jiang You couldn't help but shake his head after seeing this. This person's killing methods were still too immature. Going from high to low can indeed increase his strength, but the prerequisite is that he can hit the target.

At this stage of their strength, they were unable to use force to change direction in the air. Without knowing the enemy's strength, they turned themselves into a target. It could be said that they were killed with the first move.

"You're too messy!" Jiang You smiled and turned aside easily.

He dodged easily, but when it fell into the other person's eyes, the figure instantly disappeared from his eyes. When he looked again, he saw Jiang You's palm falling towards his waist.

The alarm bells sounded in his heart, and he had to forcefully burst out his energy and blood, turn around and strike with an elbow.

But Jiang You's hand, which seemed slow, actually touched the opponent's waist first. The energy and blood he had just accumulated were immediately dispersed by a finger, and his whole body was sore and weak, and he fell to the ground.

"In the future, when facing the enemy, take your time, test it out first, don't use all your strength when you come up!"

Jiang You already has an extra token in his hand.

"You won't kill me?"

"Why do I want to kill you? But I took the token. If you go find someone else to snatch it, you might still have a chance."

Jiang said and turned around to leave.

After the man recovered, he got up from the ground, looked at Jiang You's back, and suddenly felt something in his heart.

But before he could make a move, Jiang You suddenly turned around and glanced at him, his gaze was like an unsheathed sword. The man couldn't help but trembled. He felt as if he had been plunged into the cold winter. His eyes shrank and his heart went crazy. Shocked, cold sweat broke out on the back, and a strong sense of crisis arose.

"Don't do stupid things, the most precious thing is life!"

This man was swept away by Jiang You's sharp eyes, and his mind immediately calmed down, and he immediately realized that the man opposite him could easily subdue him with a casual move, and he could do no harm to himself. His strength was no longer there. Knowing how many times he is superior to himself, it is so easy to take his life. It's ridiculous that he even thought about a sneak attack before.

Seeing that this person was frightened by him, Jiang You continued to leave.

The purpose of his coming here is to enter the outer sect of Canglan Sect, not to kill these juniors and young people. It is normal for them to have little experience and shortcomings in their character. There is no need to take lives just because of trivial matters. Everyone makes mistakes. , just this mistake would not make Jiang You murderous.

Tolerance has always been a gift from the strong to the weak.

If Jiang You is really a master of body tempering and this person just had murderous intentions towards him, it would be normal for Jiang You to kill this person.

But now he was so powerful that this person could not harm him no matter what, so he developed a heart of compassion.

After that, as Jiang You continued to approach the mountain gate, he was attacked several times on the road.

But Jiang You didn't strike hard and subdued him with one move.

"Your shots were not decisive enough, which caused your blood and energy to not flow smoothly, exposing a big flaw. This is also the reason why your boxing skills have not been able to improve for a long time."

"The connection between feints and killing moves is not smooth enough. This must be specially prepared for this trial. If the fire is not enough, you will lose faster!"

"The speed is good, but the accuracy is a bit lacking!"

A strange man appeared in the forest. He was obviously a sickly man, but he was so powerful that no opponent he encountered could defeat him with just one move.

Even so, that's all. But this person still had the leisure to explain to the enemy aloud, pointing out the flaws in his moves.

Not only did he not take human life, he did not even injure anyone.

A few arrogant people felt that this person's advice was to show off themselves and humiliate others.

But there were still a few people who really listened to Jiang You's words and felt that they had gained a lot and felt like they had a sudden enlightenment.

Jiang You also had more tokens in his hand, which were considered as the tuition fees he collected.

At this time, he was entangled with a man dressed in black and holding a short sword.

This person is proficient in assassination swordsmanship, and his strength has already exceeded the level of body tempering. After learning that this trial produced a number one person like Jiang You, he came up to him, touched his vicinity, and wanted to kill him with one sword. Xiaoshou, come to prove that you are the first person in this trial.

But the sword he thought would kill was directly caught between Jiang You's fingers.

"This sword is good, much stronger than mine before!"

"Impossible!" The man in black was shocked. With his sword, Jiang You was able to get out of the way. He was considered a worthy warrior due to his reputation, but Jiang You casually clamped it between his fingers, making him unable to accept it no matter what. .

He felt that Jiang You's Qi and blood were indeed body-tempered, and his realm was weaker than his own. How did he do it?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang You himself gave the answer.

"This sword is very good in all aspects. The only thing is that the murderous intention cannot be restrained very well. This is not your fault at all. Without the supporting skills, it is indeed difficult to do this on your own."

"Arrogant!"

The man in black couldn't stand Jiang You's condescending attitude, so he forcibly pulled his sword back and attacked Jiang You.

Jiang You also saw someone using a sword and was delighted to see him, so he played with him for a while longer.

When the man was panting and exhausted, he flicked his fingers and knocked the dagger away from his hand.

"As a swordsman, he is just like a reckless man. He has no strategy to deal with the enemy. It's so mediocre and disappointing!"

Jiang You fought against these juniors and found that they basically used force against their enemies without any calculation. Compared with them, those from Blue Star were all lao Yin.

The only one among them that made Jiang You's eyes light up was a little fat man. When he fell to the ground, he picked up a handful of dirt with his toes, and then there was a hidden weapon coming at him.

In Jiangyou, this is considered to be a pass.

During the fight between the man and Jiang You, the man didn't even touch the other party's clothes. He already knew that Jiang You's strength was boundless, and he no longer felt arrogant in his heart.

"Your Excellency is from one of the four major families. You can obviously join the inner sect directly. Why do you compete with me and other poor people for opportunities? Is it just to play with us for fun?"

Jiang You threw up the token in his hand and said with a smile: "You are so unreasonable. I have clearly pointed out your shortcomings, which are worth a lot of money, but you still say that I am teasing you? How can there be such truth?"

After that, he turned and left.

At dusk, the tired birds return to the forest.

Under the high steps in front of the Canglan Sect's gate, one person arrived first. He frowned when he saw that there was no one on the steps.

"Is it possible that I was the first to arrive? Where is that weirdo?"

The man in black was puzzled, but he quickly climbed up the steps, still thinking, "That man is really strange. I obviously have ten tokens on me, but he only took one, and it hasn't arrived yet." , is it possible that you are addicted to giving advice to others and have lost track of time?”

When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw several Canglan Sect disciples waiting inside.

When you see him coming in, let him call out the token so that you can rank.

As the man in black arrived first, people soon followed him.

The men in black were counting one by one, their expressions getting uglier as they counted. Jiang You was still missing, which made him even more confused.

Finally, after the ninth person came in, a figure followed closely behind him, it was Jiang You.

As he entered, the mountain gate suddenly flashed with light and white mist emerged.

The trial is over and the Canglan Sect’s mountain gate is closed!

The two of them immediately handed over their tokens and registered their rankings.

Among the top ten, in addition to the man in black, there were many who had been pointed out by Jiang You. When they saw him coming in as the tenth, they all thought he was wasting time to snatch the token.

But who knew that Jiang You only handed over three coins, which were stuck on the minimum standard line.

The man in black inexplicably became the number one, giving him an extremely strong feeling of being given charity, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Junior brothers, congratulations on becoming my outer disciples of Canglan Sect. Now the top three will be awarded rewards, and the three junior brothers will be listed!"

Jiang You was watching the awards, and the rewards were nothing more than magic weapons, elixirs, and sect contribution points.

They are all of little use to Jiang You, but for others, they may be the starting point for their cultivation to take off.
