Chapter 473
But Valley Master Nie still tried to persuade him, "Martial Nephew Tong, your strength is publicly acknowledged in our alliance. Why do you care about some false reputation?
Moreover, Nephew Ren is a guest of Rejuvenation Valley. If you two compete in strength and hurt anyone, it won't be good. Don't let others see you as a joke. "
Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's leave this matter at that. Don't mention it again."
Tong Ba glanced at his Master and smiled, "Martial Uncle Nie, don't be afraid. It's just a competition of strength, not an arena. My future brother-in-law didn't lose out at all in the arena. How could he lose out when he's competing with his own people?"
Valley Master Nie looked at Tong Ba in surprise and then at Si Yakong, saying, "Why do you have to be like this?
Right now, our Rejuvenation Valley wants to worship Ren Shaoxia. How could we let him take the risk? "
Tong Ba still refused to back down, saying, "Martial Uncle Nie is wrong. We live in the pugilistic world. How can we not have seen bloody storms?
Moreover, it's just a competition of strength and not martial arts. What risk is there to speak of? "
Valley Master Nie was a bit hesitant. Previously, he had asked Zhang Xiaohua to fight for Rejuvenation Valley and Nie Qianyu. He was very angry about the incident with Lu Meng last time. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't wash his dirty linen in public, he would have already lost his temper.
But now, this Tong Ba was actually challenging Zhang Xiaohua in front of him. What was going on?
Moreover, the boss of Weapon Forging Sect, Si Yakong, was also present. Could it be that being number one in strength was so important?
Valley Master Nie looked unhappily at Tong Ba's arrogant and aggressive manner. Then he looked at Si Yakong, who was sitting on the chair and speaking repeatedly just now but now looked like he was asleep. He was secretly puzzled, "Could it be that Boss Si acquiesced to this?
He wants to suppress Weapon Forging Sect? "
Then he looked at Zhen Xuan from the corner of his eyes, "Damn, that guy is also looking down like a Buddha. Could it be that he also saw through Boss Si's thoughts and is too embarrassed to speak?"
"But Boss Si's Weapon Forging Sect is already a head above Weapon Forging Sect. Why is there a need to do this?
How strange. "
Just as he was about to ask again, Tong Ba took a step forward and said, "Martial Uncle Nie, you've been blocking for Ren Shaoxia and not letting him compete with me. How do you know that he's not willing to compete with me?"
Valley Master Nie was stunned. This was the truth. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, he didn't seem like a person who was afraid of trouble. Moreover, his strength was obviously greater than Lu Meng's, so he wasn't necessarily afraid of Tong Ba.
Tong Ba took out a small booklet from his bosom and said with a smile, "I know this future brother-in-law is interested in refining weapons, but he's not considered a member of our union, so it's not convenient for Martial Uncle Nie to ask.
These are some of the refining techniques of my Weapon-Forging Sect. If Young Hero Ren is willing to compete with me, this book will be the prize for the competition. "
"This?" Valley Master Nie stared at Si Yakong with a frown.
He had heard Nie Qianyu mention this before and knew that Zhang Xiaohua was interested in the Weapon Forging Sect's techniques. But just as Tong Ba said, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't considered a member of the Jade Foundation Alliance, so it wasn't convenient for him to ask Weapon Forging Sect's Si Yakong or Weapon Forging Sect's Zhen Xuan directly. He had to find a chance to ask in private, and this chance would be during the banquet later. At this time, Tong Ba actually placed the Weapon Forging Sect's techniques in front of him, catching Valley Master Nie off guard.
Valley Master Nie thought for a moment and looked at Zhen Xuan, saying, "Ren Shaoxia wanted to use Lu Meng's booklet as the prize to teach him a lesson. He might not just want to see the Weapon Forging Sect's techniques. Martial Nephew Tong is thinking too much."
Hehe, Valley Master Nie was also an old fox. Since he didn't have anything on him, of course he wouldn't admit it.
It wasn't a good habit to pry into the secrets of other sects.
Soon after, he smiled and said, "Since Martial Nephew Tong is so well prepared, I'll have Little Yu ask if Ren Shaoxia is also interested in this competition. If he has anything to say, I'll immediately reply to Martial Nephew Tong. What do you say, Big Brother Si?"
Si Yakong was forced to express his stance. He could only open his eyes and smile, saying, "It's all because of the competitive spirit of the younger generation. Weren't we the same back then?
Let them do as they please. Ren Shaoxia is only half an outsider anyways. The goodies don't flow into the fields of outsiders. "
Valley Master Nie could only nod.
Thus, everyone skipped over this matter and began to discuss Rejuvenation Valley's medicinal pills in detail.
The next day, Zhang Xiaohua was bewildered when she heard Nie Qianyu's message. Why compete in strength for no reason? She had a pile of things she hadn't learned yet. Putting aside the art of pill refinement, that Crimson Flame Pill was still waiting for her to refine, and she didn't seem to have much confidence in refining it yet. Even the rabbit talisman needed to be comprehended in a hurry. Oh right, there was also the incantation for concealing one's cultivation in Spirit Guidance.
She was just about to refuse when she heard Nie Qianyu say with a smile, "Moreover, Senior Martial Brother Tong has even taken out the classics of the Weapon Forging Sect for this competition as a prize. Big Brother Ren, haven't you always wanted to look at the methods of weapon refinement first?
If you can win against Senior Martial Brother Tong, won't you be able to learn openly? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled wryly. She had already obtained the jade slip of the Weapon Forging Sect. Who would care about his martial way weapon refinement methods?
However, if there wasn't such a prize, he would have refused. Now that the other party had come knocking with a prize, was there a need for her to refuse?
Moreover …
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "Little Fish Nie, Weapon Forging Sect's Tong Ba is obviously stronger than Weapon Forging Sect's Lu Meng, but how much stronger is he?"
Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "I only know that it's not much, but how much do I pay attention to?
However, Father said last night that it's a few hundred kilograms of strength. "
"A few hundred kilograms?"
Zhang Xiaohua frowned even more. A few hundred kilograms of strength was naturally unattainable for ordinary people, but to Zhang Xiaohua, it was really too light.
"This is strange. Lu Meng's strength can't even lift my weapon. I'm sure Tong Ba also knows this. With such strength, how could he bring himself to be humiliated?"
Zhang Xiaohua said.
"Yes, Big Brother Ren is right."
Nie Qianyu also explained, "Father said this yesterday. Who would give away their sect's secret method of weapon refinement without a reason?
Even if it's an ordinary method, it's still confidential. "
"There must be something fishy about this."
Zhang Xiaohua said, "However, what did Uncle Nie say?"
Nie Qianyu nodded and said, "Father thought so too, but he couldn't get anything out of him. During the banquet last night, Senior Uncle Si still kept his mouth shut.
Therefore, Father asked you to go with the flow and see what's going on. "
Zhang Xiaohua said with a grin, "Of course. Since it's a piece of meat that's delivered to my doorstep, why wouldn't I try it?
Moreover, he didn't ask me to bet anything, so I won't bet anything. Even if Senior Brother Tong wins, I won't lose anything, right? "
"Bah," Nie Qianyu couldn't help but spit and said, "Father even asked you to bet something with that elixir of yours. You're good, trying to gain something without risking anything."
Zhang Xiaohua said with an innocent face, "I was refining elixirs in Rejuvenation Valley and didn't provoke anyone. They came to stir up trouble and said I'm stingy?
How about I don't agree to it? "
Nie Qianyu covered her mouth and snickered, "Alright, you're always doing this kind of business anyway, and there are always people who are willing to be suckers like you."
Speaking of this, Nie Qianyu suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, that's right, I haven't given you the 75 taels of gold you got in the peach forest outside the valley. Father urged me last time, so I forgot about it."
Then she looked at Zhang Xiaohua strangely and said, "Big Brother Ren, did you forget about it?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with an honest face, "No, how could I forget?"
"Then why didn't you ask me for it?
Are you a little embarrassed?
Alas, look at me, I forgot about it. "
"No, no, just take it. When the time comes, I'll give you a little more profit!"
"Bah," Nie Qianyu almost spat on Zhang Xiaohua's face. So this was what this fellow was thinking.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Nie Qianyu and smiled, "Then what's Uncle Nie's arrangement?
When and where will the competition be held? "
Nie Qianyu said, "If you agree, we'll have the competition at Rejuvenation Valley's Martial Arts Hall tonight. When the time comes, all the leaders of our Jade Foundation Alliance will appear. Hehe, other than the competition held every two years, it's been a long time since I've seen the Uncle-Masters and Uncle-Masters."
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Your Jade Foundation Alliance is so close?
You even have to compete between the various sects? "
"That's right. The Yuli Alliance is basically a sect that has been passed down for generations and has a history of over a thousand years. There have been changes throughout the years. In the early years, there were a few sects that were destroyed. However, as long as it's possible, they would rejoin the Alliance. Father, you've been friends with the other Uncle-Masters since you were young. Therefore, the disciples of our sects are all familiar with each other. Otherwise, why would I have said that Father would be able to obtain the Weapon Refining Sect's Weapon Refining Technique that day?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, "What's the difference between this and a large sect?"
Nie Qianyu said in all seriousness, "Of course, there's a big difference. Everyone has different cultivation techniques, and the projects they manage are different as well. If it's a sect, how tiring would it be to be a Sect Master?"
Zhang Xiaohua said, "Perhaps, you were already a sect a few thousand years ago."
Nie Qianyu shook his head. "I don't know about that. Alright, let's not talk about it. Let's hurry up and refine the pills. Father knows that you're busy tonight, so he asked me to bring fewer herbs over."
"Huh?
How did Uncle Nie know that I'd definitely be there tonight? "
"Just like you?
It's a waste not to take advantage of the situation. How could I not go? "
"Mm, Uncle Nie really knows me well."
At night, the candles were burning brightly. In the manor of Rejuvenation Valley, in an open-air courtyard towards the west, candles as thick as an arm and torches lit up the courtyard brightly. Right in the middle was a spacious area, with a row of tables placed on both sides. There was already wine and food on the tables, and the disciples of Rejuvenation Valley were placing other things on the tables.
