Chapter 88 Calligraphy Match?
Chapter 88 Calligraphy Match?
Chen Yin and Lin Xie looked at each other as they nodded. Luo Yingying was speechless as she looked at Long Ming, who was chatting with other disciples.
Yesterday, Long Ming released a small knot of energy inside the bodies of Lin Xie and Chen Yin with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes. Using his spiritual qi and Thirty Six Soul Arts, Long Ming\'s Desolate Immortal Aura gave them a moment of enlightenment, making them reach the mid stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.
\' After getting refined with the golden pillar of grand dao last time, my Desolate Immortal Aura got upgraded. Without even doing anything, I can feel the aura of grand dao around me. No wonder I never face any sort of bottleneck while practicing any technique.\'
\' Not to mention, After basking under my Desolate Immortal Aura, the perception and comprehension of the Four Seasons Valley disciples increased. Hehe, It\'s a natural treasure that anyone would covet.\'
After spending some time, Long Ming could control the Desolate Immortal Aura a bit. The moment he uses it, he becomes like a sun in midnight. However, when he uses his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, all of his aura gets concealed like darkness extinguishing a candle.
As their flying boat moved, Long Ming could see a large town residing amidst the Southern Green Mountain. Although the town looked small in size, it was simply built exquisitely.
With tall walls and floating buildings, one could see how prosperous the town is.
Not to mention, with Long Ming\'s Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he looked at the entire layout of the town. It was no less than a gargantuan formation, powered by formation bricks and an underground spirit vein.
" No wonder why Liu Family can easily reside inside the Southern Green Mountain without facing any trouble from demon beasts. I guess they made all the preparation beforehand." Long Ming spoke.
" Indeed, The Liu Family is pretty prominent in the Southern Province. Not only they supply beast core and herbal medicines, their main attraction is the Purple Crystal Pavilion."
" Purple Crystal Pavilion.?"
Luo Yingying looked ar Long Ming as she explained. " The Purple Crystal Pavilion was the place where the ancestor of Liu Family reached the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm. The place was filled with his power of enlightenment along with the natural dao of heaven and earth."
" The pavilion is divided into three zones. You need to pay hefty sum of spirit stones just to cultivate in Outer and Inner Zone. However, the place with teh best effect, the Core Zone can be only given to you if the Liu Family wishes."
" And, To gain their favorability, The Wine Gathering Festival is the best choice."
Suddenly, both of them became stunned as they hear a screech. A gigantic blue bird jumped out from cloud as it passed by Four Season Valley\'s Flying Boat.
" Is that a Purple Thunder Bird? That beast is already a ten thousand year old demon beast!" Someone spoke with a shocked voice.
" That\'s the famous beast of Purple Cloud Sect. The demon beast already reached the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm." Luo Yingying spoke.
The bird streaked across the sky as Long Ming could see many people sitting on its back. They must be the disciples of Purple Cloud Sect.
" Uh, Speaking of that… Don\'t we have any sect protection beast?" Long Ming blinked as helooked at Luo Yingying.
" We actually had two. One at peak of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm and another one at the Dao Refining Realm."
" Ah, I guess our sect is also strong." LongMing became excited.
" Both of them died in previous calamity."
"..."
Long Ming\'s face froze as he looked at the Purple Thunder Bird. " Are you serious?"
" I mean, One of them died. While the other one is missing…"
Long Ming sighed as he looked at the distance. " Nothing is really easy for me."
It wasn\'t long before they saw other flying boats and giant beast mounts. Long Ming was even shocked when he saw a giant flying sword, signifying the Six Sword Pavilion.
" I guess the gathering isn\'t going to smooth at all." Long Ming laughed bitterly.
" It never has been." Lin Xie walked to Long Ming as she sighed. " Although the Eternal Spring Tower brought their top-fermented wine, they couldn\'t even get placed in the top ten. Even the Blissful Heaven Temple got the seventh position last time."
" However, the rewards are generous." Luo Yingying added.? " The top ten will get various benefits from Liu Family. While the top five sects can send three disciples of their choice to the Core Zone of Purple Crystal Pavilion for three days."
" Hehe, Is that so?" Long Ming snickered.
\' Wine, huh? Let\'s see how you guys can beat Four Seasons Valley this time.\'
As the flying boat descended, guards of the Liu Family approached them and looked at Long Ming.
" You guys are…"
" We are from Four Seasons Valley." Luo Yingying stepped forward as she replied.
" Oh, Four Seasons Valley?" The guard\'s expression turned uninterested. " You can keep your flying boat here as it\'s forbidden to fly within the town."
" Also, 1000 Mid grade spirit stones per person. It\'s the entry fees."
" What? Entry fees? We are here to attend the Wine Gathering Festival." Luo Yingying frowned.
But then, they saw many sects entering the city with their flying mounts. Everyone from Four Season Valley became annoyed.
" I thought flying mounts weren\'t allowed inside the town?"
" They got special permits. You guys don\'t have." The guards replied coolly.
At that moment, a flying boat descended as a bunch of disciples got off from it. They are from Blissful Heaven Temple.
" Ah, Look, I guess we came a bit late."
Long Ming became annoyed when he heard the voice. It was none other than Mo Zhu the fly of Blissful Heaven Temple.
" Young Masters, You can go ahead. And, you can keep the flying boat in our Main Family dock."
" Haha, Very well." Mo Zhu gave a chuckle as he looked at Long Ming and Luo Yingying. " I wonder if you are going to come with us, Fellow Brother Long."
Long Ming laughed as he took out a pouch of spirit stones and threw them at the guards. " Here, Can we go now?"
The guards looked at each other as they nodded. " En, You can enter now."
Long Ming nodded as the girls entered the gate.
" Haha, Don\'t tell me you guys gave the entrance fees?" Mo Zhu laughed loudly. " I guess the Liu family isn\'t giving you any face, huh?"
" No, It\'s not like that, Brother Mo." Long Ming fanned the Plum Blossom Fan as he laughed.
" Our Four Seasons Valley is a humble sect. When we see some dog barking for food, we simply give them. After all, feeding dogs is also a virtue, no?"
" Yo-You!"
The guards of Liu\'s Family became furious when they heard Long Ming. " You! You are to call us dogs!"
Long Ming laughed as his eyes narrowed. " Well, I certainly didn\'t call you dog. I was just talking about our humble attitude."
" But fellow daoists, I hope you remember one thing." Long Ming looked at the guard before entering.
" Those who have ill intentions, They can never digest our favors. Because, Since we feed dogs, we also know to rip out their teeths if they try to bite back their benefactor."
Long Ming\'s aura turned oppressive for a moment. But he turned around and walked inside the town. Mo Zhu snorted when he looked at Long Ming.
"Let\'s see till when you can stay arrogant."

" Damn it, They are not treating us with any respect at all." Luo Yingying snorted. Long Ming gave a light laugh.
" In this world, only the law of the jungle prevails. If you want respect, be worthy of the strength to gain it."
" But don\'t worry. I won\'t allow you all to feel any discrimination. " Long Ming laughed. " Let\'s go to the most luxurious inn."
" What? 20,000 mid grade spirit stones per person, for every night?" Luo Yingying was shocked. But before she could say anything, Long Ming looked at the inn owner.
" Alright, Book the top classroom for all of our disciples. And take this, the advance payment of three days. It also includes meals and other things."
All of the Four Seasons Valley\'s disciples became shocked when Long Ming spent a few hundred thousand spirit stones in one go. Seeing the money, the inn owner will not refuse at all.
" Alright, Senior Brother, We should go now." Luo Yingying looked at Long Ming. " Let them take some rest. Meanwhile, We should go and join the Calligraphy Meeting at Liu Family."
The Liu Family avenue was massive, with various ponds and trees adorning the beauty. The true qi was dense as Long Ming could see many formations hidden around the estate.
Suddenly, He saw a crowd of people as they saw a calligraphy match. A young cultivator wearing a black robe was competing against a middle aged man.
" Look, The second young master of Six Sword Pavilion is really a genius. He masted the art of Sword Calligraphy at such young age."
" But his opponent is Daoist Windwalk, He is renowned for his wisdom and calligraphy."
Suddenly, the young man raised his sword as the ink splattered in the air. However, with a surge of an invisible energy, the inkstone turned bright and suspended midair, forming various words in a beautiful manner.
" Solitary Sword, Winter Flower, Both Lonely, But Beautiful to Cherish"
(This is pure BS, don\'t mind it)
" Look, Even Young Master Liu Jiang is here."
Long Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw a young man wearing a bright green colored dress appearing.
" Marvelous, Young Master Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion is truly a talent of our generation. I think it\'s already his fifth win." Liu Jiang smiled.
" Well, Look at this. I was really expecting to see you here, Brother Long."
Long Ming turned around as he saw a familiar figure. " Brother Ling Yuan, such a pleasant surprise to meet you. I can see, Xu Jian of your sect is really talented. Not many can master sword intent at such age."
Suddenly, The crowd turned silent when Long Ming spoke. Ling Yuan chuckled as he stood before Long Ming. " Well, I guess Brother Long\'s eyes are sharp as ever."
" A talented person like you, Why don\'t you also participate?"
