Chapter 38: Legendary Rankings

  "Xiao Hui, give me money!"

  The young master opened his eyes and said a word, and his face became rosy.

  Wu Ming took over the 400,000 taels of silver delivered by Jian Tong and suddenly smiled: "It seems that brother has been injured. If there is still silver, I have other elixirs."

  The young master waved his hand lazily and replied, "No need to say more, fate brings us together, we'll meet again if fate permits. Let's talk about it later! This time, thank you for the medicinal pill, brother. But I'd like to remind you that Poison Dragon Valley is powerful, so be careful with the antidote, no matter where you're from."

  Wu Ming nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

  "Hmm, that Yang Lao Er, I'll leave first. The Dan medicine you have, I already have it here. All of yours can be returned. The efficiency of Yu Dan Ge is getting slower and slower."

  The young master waved his hand and stood up impatiently, walking out of the door.

  After the young master left, Shi Jingxuan said in a low voice: "What kind of identity is this young master, how can he be so fierce? The Poison Dragon Valley he mentioned, I've heard of it too. It's said that inside are all masters of poison, with an extremely powerful force, even my...my master has to be cautious, yet this young master doesn't show any fear at all?"

  Wu Ming shook his head, Shi Jingxuan didn't know, and he knew even less. He hadn't even heard of the Poison Dragon Valley, nor had he noticed any mention of this sect's name in the Scripture Pavilion.

  "That young master is none other than the seventh of the Ten Great Young Masters, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Soul-Cutting Sword's Soul-Cutting Young Master! Although he may look unfamiliar to you both, I'm sure you've heard his legend. He's only 22 years old this year, but his swordsmanship is unpredictable and among the best in the world."

  "What? Duanhun Gongzi? It's actually him?" Shi Jingxuan's expression at this moment was even more surprised than when he mentioned Lin Bufan, his small mouth wide open and his eyes almost bulging out.

  "Wu Mingdao said: 'Cough cough, have you heard of his reputation? What a soul-breaking young master, this name is quite unpleasant to hear.'"

  "You don't know, Duan Yue started practicing sword at the age of three, achieved success at five, entered the prenatal stage at twelve, and entered the martial way at eighteen. It is said that he has even practiced the family's Qingfeng Sword to the extreme, and has already reached the realm of the sword. However, he always looks tired and lazy, with rumors that he had previously practiced incorrectly and injured his meridians. But even so, his actual strength can still rank among the top ten young masters!"

  "Oh? You say that the Top Ten Young Masters List is very impressive?" Wu Ming suddenly became interested, these things weren't in the books.

  Shi Jingxuan nodded in agreement, saying: "Yeah, they're definitely impressive! Those who can make it onto these lists are the best of the best. Like this Top Ten Young Masters list, and the Top Ten Junior Masters list, Lin Bufan from the Fuwei Pawnshop is ranked third on the latter. These all belong to the young talents under the age of thirty. Apart from that, there's also the Black List, White List, and Master List, which belong to the older generation of supreme masters. In addition, there's the Eccentric List and the Evil List. Several people from the Poison Dragon Valley have made it onto the Evil List, so people in the Jianghu world are wary of them. Apart from these, there's also the Hidden Weapons List, the Absolute Beauty List, and so on."

  "Yes, just as the young lady said, the Poison Dragon Valley is also a well-known figure. We can't afford to provoke the Jade Dan Pavilion, even if we have the Medicine King Valley as our backing! However, that Soul Severing Young Master, with his strength and connections, indeed has no need to fear the Poison Dragon Valley!"

  Yang Erde sighed. At this time, the little second also cleverly took 120,000 taels of white silver from the shopkeeper over here.

  "Alright, since we've sold all the elixirs, let's go!" Wu Ming took the money and stood up, walking out of the Jade Elixir Pavilion.

  To be honest, he's quite interested in this list. What list, what young master. Wu Ming thinks that this is the real Jianghu person, famous all over the world, even if you haven't seen the real person, but have heard of his reputation, this is what it means to mix with Jianghu!

  Back at the inn, Wu Ming hastily entered Shi Jingxuan's room and asked about the list.

  Shi Jingxuan belongs to the younger generation, just like Wu Ming, they both enjoy listening to these Jianghu rumors, and are also familiar with these rankings, so he told Wu Ming one by one.

  These rankings, except for the military and dark equipment lists which have little change, all other lists have changes. However, it's not random changes, some are changed once every ten years, some are changed once every five years, and some are changed once every three years. Of course, there is also a special situation where challenges are allowed, as long as you win the challenge, you can also get the opponent's ranking on the list, which can be changed at will. It is said that this ranking was created by Jianghu Bai Xiao Sheng, who is also powerful and may be one person or a group, but no one has ever seen him in reality, yet he claims to know everything under the sky!

  The most formidable one is the Dragon and Phoenix List, which has a total of ten people, all of whom are peerless warriors in this world, with each having the ability to shatter the void. As for this list, Shi Jingxuan felt that it was a bit far-fetched from himself, so he didn't pay much attention to it, only knowing that the imperial family had one, and the Tianmen had an old ancestor, but the rest were unknown.

  After the Dragon and Phoenix List, there is the High Hand List, which has fifty people, all of whom are over one hundred years old. Among them, Xuantian Sect's leader, Mu Yun Kong, ranked twenty-third, also considered to be somewhat famous. Lin Zhiyuan from Fugui Security Bureau ranked thirty-seventh. The following were some people Wu Ming was not familiar with, such as the first place being Tianmen Sect's leader, Wu Daozi, followed by Taixu Sect and other top sects' leaders who dominated the Central Plains, among whom there were also many who were not leaders but elders of their sects, just like Tianmen which occupied five positions, making it secretly become the largest sect in the world.

  Then there are the black and white lists, which refer to the two most famous and powerful masters in the list.

  In terms of strength, among these lists, except for the people on the Dragon and Phoenix List who are far ahead of others in terms of strength, making it hard to look directly at them, the rest of the high-ranking lists, including the Black and White Lists, have strengths that hover within a certain range. Wu Daozi, ranked first on the High-Ranking List, may be the strongest, which is acknowledged by many people, but the rankings behind him may be similar to some of the strong players on the Black and White Lists.

  But after all, it's a famous master, and few people will make a move. Winning is good, but if you lose, you may easily attract rumors.

  Apart from this, there are the top ten rich young masters list and the top ten poor young masters list. Speaking of which, Shi Jingxuan became interested, although she was quite familiar with the lists, but still had some categories. Like this one that belongs to the young talented list, she naturally knew it by heart.

  The first place is the floating son of the cloud and misty water demon, Rèn Zǐ Fēi!

  The second is Yuè Wú Jiāo, the Lonely Shadow Master of the Endless Snow!

  Third place goes to the carefree and adventurous Hu Bu Gui, also known as the Carefree Swordsman!

  Then there were some more, Shi Jingxuan went on to say one by one, Wu Ming couldn't remember them all, but still listened with relish. For example, that Ren Zifei, how strong was his strength, and how he left behind a legend. Then who was it again who left behind what legend.

  They talked all the way into the night, and Wu Ming was still full of interest. Especially when it came to the topic of the Absolute Beauty Rankings, Wu Ming listened with a heart that yearned for it, but was immediately slapped awake by Shi Jingxuan.

  There have been a lot of things going on at home lately, and I'm really sorry about that. I can only post some old drafts for now because I don't have any time to write new content. Once things settle down, I'll definitely make up for it and won't let you all down!
