The Venerable Swordsman Chapter 19 - Sorry, But I Am a Great Sword Cultivator!

Chapter 19 Sorry, But I Am a Great Sword Cultivator!

After the little girl left, it took Ye Xuan a long time to come to his senses!

He returned to the inn with Ye Ling. In the room, Ye Ling looked at the Heaven Fire Warm Jade in her hand and said in surprise, “Brother, this stone is so warm. Holding it, my body feels warmer!”

Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s nice that you feel warm!”

Ye Ling smiled and nodded, firmly holding that piece of Heaven Fire Warm Jade!

Ye Xuan sat at one side and he slowly closed his eyes.

“Predecessor? Who was the person just now?” Ye Xuan asked.

The mysterious woman said, “You are not at the same level as her. It is meaningless to ask!”

Ye Xuan, “…”

The mysterious woman said again, “Take out the ring that I asked you to buy before!”

Ye Xuan took out the purple ring. The ring was a bit old, some pieces of which were missing. It looked like nothing special.

“Do you know what this is?” asked the mysterious woman.

Ye Xuan shook his head.

The mysterious woman said, “This is a Formation Ring, inside of which hides a small Formation. Although the Formation was relatively low, it is exquisitely designed and has research value. That must be the reason why that little girl before wanted it. As for you, you can use this Formation for protection.”

Ye Xuan was a little surprised, “Can this small ring actually hide a small Formation?”

The mysterious woman whispered, “You should go and explore the world in the future. This world is bigger and much more wonderful than you think.”

Ye Xuan nodded. “After I can control the sword, I must travel around!”

With this, his eyes fell on the ring in his hand. “Predecessor, how should I use this Formation?”

The mysterious woman said, “Put one drop of your blood on it, and then control the ring in the way I have taught you.”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan quickly did as she instructed. Soon after his blood fell on the ring, he suddenly got a weird interaction with this ring. And in his mind, a Formation emerged out of the void!

Five Ray Formation!

The Formation in the ring was named the Five Ray Formation. Once the Formation was activated, one could drop a Divine Thunder to attack the enemy!

Divine Thunder!

Ye Xuan was somewhat shocked, “Predecessor, can this Formation really attract Divine Thunder?”

The mysterious woman said, “Of course it can’t. Divine Thunder is the power of heaven and earth, and it won’t be attracted by such a small Formation. The so-called Divine Thunder in this ring is actually created in some ways by the man who made this Formation. Although its power is far inferior to the real Divine Thunder, it will be of great use to you now. Once you activate this Formation, even a strong man in the Ascending Realm cannot resist its power. But this ring has been damaged before, so it should only last another five more activations.”

Hearing her say this, Ye Xuan suddenly was overjoyed. With his current strength, he could fight it out with opponents in the Ascending Realm if he wielded ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’. However, the price was too high for him! Because it would bring serious damage not solely to his enemies, but also to him!

With this ring, it was equivalent to him having a life-saving measure!

But soon, Ye Xuan’s look turned bitter. Because he found that to activate the Five Ray Formation, he actually needed not merely Spiritual Stones but Top-grade Spiritual Stones. It required at least five Top-grade Spiritual Stones to activate the Formation each time!

Now he had only 16 Top-grade Spiritual Stones in all!

For an instant, he felt so poor!

Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Xuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, “Predecessor, you really have a good discerning eye. How about we concentrate on treasure hunting later on? With your judgment, we will definitely make big money, I…”

“What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?”

The mysterious woman suddenly interrupted Ye Xuan’s words. “Accompany you to hunt for treasure? You indeed have a tiny brain!”

After hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

But the mysterious woman’s voice cooled down. “You should not trust in luck to do anything. Your good luck brought you this great bargain today which was what you deserved. However, if you think about picking up bonuses all the time, your nature will be destroyed. Don’t think that I am just exaggerating to scare you. You should keep it in mind that for people who cultivate the sword, the most important thing is their nature.”

Ye Xuan nodded and said solemnly, “Predecessor, please do not be angry with me. I understand now.”

The mysterious woman stopped talking.

Upon seeing it, Ye Xuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of her, but respected her!

Two hours later, after Ye Ling fell asleep, he entered the Prison World Tower.

Practicing!

Although he couldn’t break through to the Qi Harnessing Realm now, he could cultivate his own sword moves. In fact, he didn’t have any sword moves at all. Practicing with the shadow, he relied only on his temporary reactions!

His moves were rigid!

What he practiced with the shadow were his strength, speed, and reaction ability!

Although he couldn’t reach the Qi Harnessing Realm now, he was able to cultivate the Qi Varying Realm to the extreme. After all, people in the same realm could also be divided into the strong and the weak!

On the first layer of the Prison World Tower, the sound of iron on iron reverberated in the field, and only the sound of iron on iron…

When there were two hours till dawn, Ye Xuan went to sleep.

After two hours, Ye Xuan woke up on time.

After Ye Xuan checked out, he sold the carriage to the inn at a low price, and then he left the inn with his sister to go to the s.h.i.+p River of the Thousand-Mountain City.

When the brother and the sister arrived at the s.h.i.+p River, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. The river before them was nearly three thousand meters wide. On the river, there were several extremely big s.h.i.+ps, the width of which was at least thirty meters!

The siblings had never seen such huge s.h.i.+ps!

Beside Ye Xuan, Ye Ling was a little excited, “Brother, this s.h.i.+p is so huge! Are we going to travel on it later?”

Ye Xuan nodded and smiled, “Later, we will go to the imperial capital by this s.h.i.+p!”

Tilting her head, Ye Ling looked at Ye Xuan. She asked curiously, “Brother, is the imperial capital even bigger than the Thousand-Mountain City?”

Ye Xuan gently rubbed the little head of Ye Ling. “It must be bigger than the Thousand-Mountain City! When we arrive at the imperial capital, brother will accompany you to see the prosperity of the imperial capital and play around, okay?”

Hearing what he said, Ye Ling eyes brightened, “Brother is the best!”

With this, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ye Xuan gently on the cheek!

Ye Xuan laughed aloud, then he took Ye Ling and walked towards the distance.

Ye Xuan had inquired about the process of taking the Cloud s.h.i.+p the previous night. Hence, the siblings soon bought the tickets and boarded the Cloud s.h.i.+p!

Ye Xuan felt some heartache because it cost him forty gold coins to buy the two Cloud s.h.i.+p tickets to the imperial capital!

Now he was a really poor man because now he had less than ten gold coins left!

At this moment, he had half a mind to rob!

On the Cloud s.h.i.+p, there were hundreds of large and small rooms that were divided into various grades. Ye Xuan asked around and knew that the first-grade s.h.i.+p room charged 150 gold coins a night and the second-grade charged 100 gold coins. However, they were not the most expensive ones. The most terrifyingly expensive s.h.i.+p room was the top-grade which charged 300 gold coins a night!

300 gold coins, some of the ordinary families in Qing City could not even earn that many gold coins in their lifetime!

But here, 300 gold coins could only buy one ticket.

At that moment, Ye Xuan found that poverty had truly constricted his imagination!

Ye Xuan came to the room at the bottom of the Cloud s.h.i.+p with his sister. The room was very small, in which there was only one bed, two stools, and one table. It was so humble!

Ye Xuan rubbed the head of Ye Ling. “There will be an hour before the s.h.i.+p takes off. When the s.h.i.+p is stable, we can go to the deck and take a look at the scenery below.”

Ye Ling smiled sweetly. Seemingly thinking of something, she turned and searched through their baggage for a while. Soon, she dug out a pair of cloth shoes and handed them to Ye Xuan like she was presenting a treasure, “Brother, I crocheted them. Come and try them to see whether they fit or not!”

With this, she squatted down and was about to take off Ye Xuan’s shoes.

But Ye Xuan was already stunned.

“When did she crochet them?”

At this moment, “Wow”, Ye Ling suddenly cried, and Ye Xuan quickly bowed his head. Ye Ling covered her nose and rolled her eyes at him. “Brother, your feet are so stinky!”

After that, she turned and slipped away.

Soon, she returned to the room. This time, she came in with a basin. She placed the basin in front of Ye Xuan, picked up his feet and placed them in the basin.

Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “Let me do it myself!”

Ye Ling stared at him, then she bowed her head and began to slowly clean Ye Xuan’s feet.

While she was was.h.i.+ng, the tears in her eyes poured out suddenly because there was a layer of thick calluses on the soles of Ye Xuan’s feet and there were so many scars that had not yet recovered!

These were the wounds left from his fierce fights for the Ye Family when he was the Heir Apparent!

Noticing Ye Ling’s unusual behavior, Ye Xuan asked softly, “Why are you crying?”

Ye Ling wiped the tears on her face. “Brother, you have suffered a lot. I swear, I must become a super duper strong person in the future and I must make a lot of money. Because I want my brother to live a life of ease and comfort.”

She was brought up by her brother! However, many people did not know that when their mother left, Ye Xuan was only ten, still a growing boy, and she was only at the age of four or five. At first, they lived like beggars in the Ye Family and could only survive on leftovers. It was under such a circ.u.mstance that Ye Xuan brought her up. Even she wasn’t entirely clear how much he had suffered in those years.

Especially in the years Ye Xuan desperately fought for the family after he became the Heir Apparent!

She only remembered that her brother went out during the day and came back at night. But each time he came back, he had wounds all over his body!

Hearing Ye Ling’s words, a warm fuzzy feeling went through Ye Xuan’s heart. He gently rubbed Ye Ling’s little head. “Your health is more important than anything else. Your illness can definitely be cured in the Imperial Capital where there are so many talented people. When you get well, brother will teach you how to cultivate!”

Ye Ling gently washed Ye Xuan’s feet, and she said in an extremely firm tone. “Brother, if I get well, I will practice well. I am not afraid of hards.h.i.+p!”

Ye Xuan smiled. The moment when he was about to talk, the door of the room was suddenly opened. In no time, a middle-aged man and two old men entered the room.

Ye Ling was shocked and stood up instantly. “You, who are you?”

The middle-aged leader glanced at Ye Xuan. “Do you still remember me?”

Ye Xuan nodded. Of course, he remembered. The three people in front of him were the three who chased Qin Shang in the jungle. And he still remembered that the middle-aged man before him was named Mo Cun.

Ye Xuan was silent. Needless to say, these people in front of him came here for those Spiritual Stones!

He just didn’t expect that they would actually follow him onto the Cloud s.h.i.+p!

At this time, Mo Cun suddenly said, “Hand over those things, and we will spare your lives!”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “No fighting in the Cloud s.h.i.+p!”

Mocun sneered, “If we secretly kill you and your sister, and then we find a chance to throw your bodies overboard, who will check?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then asked, “If I hand these things over, will you give me and my sister a chance to live?”

Mo Cun’s eyes slightly narrowed. “Naturally, we only want those Spiritual Stones!”

Ye Xuan took a deep breath and said, “Well, anyway, I don’t have the luck to enjoy it.”

With this, he took out the black bag and walked up to Mo Cun. “You must keep your word!”

Seeing the black bag, Mo Cun’s eyes suddenly looked much hotter, “Of course, you have my word!”

But his right hand slowly gripped tight.

When Ye Xuan was a few steps away from Mo Cun, he suddenly threw the bag in his hand to the old man next to Mo Cun. Mo Cun and the other two were slightly stunned. Then, subconsciously, the old man was going to catch it, while Mo Cun was also going to grab it subconsciously.

Right at this point, a faint cold light flashed across!

“Sizzle!”

A sword suddenly appeared before Mo Cun. When Mo Cun realized what was going on, the sword had already pierced into his throat.

In a flash, Mo Cun’s head flew straight out!

His blood was spurting!

On the other side, the two old men were shocked. The next moment, they quickly turned and ran, but Ye Xuan’s sword was faster. Just when two old men turned, Ye Xuan’s sword pierced into the back of one of them!

One old man was killed in an instant!

However, the other old man rushed out. Not only had he rushed out, but he shouted for help frantically. At this point, everyone living on the first floor was alarmed!

Ye Xuan’s face turned a bit ugly. He put away the sword and he knew that things were getting a little troublesome now.

Soon, a woman wearing a veil and a long purple skirt walked into Ye Xuan’s room with a group the Cloud s.h.i.+p’s guards.

Ye Xuan clasped his hands and his face sank a little. He couldn’t feel the strength of this veiled woman, but he could feel the strength of those guards. Three of them were in the Ascending Realm and two were in the Qi Harnessing Realm!

This lineup was a bit too scary!

It should be said that the strength of the Drunken Fairy Building was terrifying!

The veiled woman glanced at the bodies on the ground. Her dark eyebrows slightly frowned and then she looked toward Ye Xuan. “Did you kill them?”

Ye Xuan nodded and explained, “They wanted…”

The veiled woman turned with a flick of her sleeve. “Explain it in the netherworld. Flog them to death right on the spot and throw their bodies out of the s.h.i.+p.”

At this moment, Ye Xuan spread his right hand and a sword was suspended in his palm.

The veiled woman who had already walked to the door suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Ye Xuan. There was a strange look in her eyes. “Are you a Sword Cultivator?”

Ye Xuan nodded.

The veiled woman shook her head. “You have become a Sword Cultivator at such a young age, this is very rare. However, it is nothing more than this. The rules of this Cloud s.h.i.+p are foremost. Even if you are a Sword Cultivator, you cannot break these rules. Kill him for me.”

After that, she turned and was about to go out.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed, and his right hand abruptly gripped the sword. In a split second, the sword slightly trembled and a faint Sword Light sparkled on the body of the sword.

The few people in the field were dumbfounded.

And the veiled woman stopped again!

Ye Xuan looked the veiled woman in the eye, “Sorry, but I am a Great Sword Cultivator!”

Saying this, he didn’t flush and his breath was steady. He stayed incomparable calm.

But actually, he was nervous and fl.u.s.tered.
