Strolling through night markets

  The Zhugui County City Martial Arts Arena wheel guard drummed a big battle, the Medicine King Gang's medicine hall young disciple Xie Yun, four swords forced back the Treasure Gang Ma Yun, sweeping the entire martial arts arena, in one day continuously defeated forty or fifty young masters, shocking the audience, causing a stir in Zhugui County City.

  At this time, the county seat of Zhujici was still half a month away from the opening of the Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutical Conference, but it had already gathered hundreds of large, medium and small gangs within Pingzhou Prefecture, with at least nearly 10,000 Jianghu heroes gathering.

  Although the top ten sects have not yet arrived, a large number of young masters have gathered here. It is absolutely not an easy thing to stand out in such a large crowd.

  But the most important thing is that Xie Yun has not been defeated so far, and after two days and two nights, he still stands on the stage, successively defeating more than a dozen strong young masters, and rushing to the sixth round.

  Each duel consumed more and more time, and the physical strength and internal energy expended also increased.

  However, Xie Yun still dominated the stage.

  According to the rules of the Wheel Fight, this kind of challenge that pushes one's martial arts skills to the limit is a non-stop, no-rest battle until defeat. As long as Xie Yun has not been defeated or conceded defeat, he must stay on the arena and accept challenges from young masters below at any time. In other words, Xie Yun still has a great chance of advancing to the seventh round, or even the eighth round.

  According to the conventional division of strength, only a master above second-rate has the qualification to go on stage and launch a challenge.

  Those who can hold on to one to three rounds are in the category of second-rate masters; four to seven rounds, belong to the category of first-rate masters; eight to ten rounds, belong to the top masters. More than ten rounds, have the qualifications to be listed as a master of the world. If you can successfully enter the eighth round, it means that Xie Yun has broken through the level of a first-rate master and has the qualifications to enter the ranks of the top masters in Jianghu.

  To know the entire Medicine King Gang's medicine hall, currently there are only three top-notch masters, namely Li Dang Zhu and Ma and Ji, two deputy hall masters. They are all old rivers and lakes people in their fifties or sixties.

  The young disciples of the Medicine Collection Hall were all excitedly passing on Xie Yun's military achievements, and such great glory was a huge motivation for the entire Medicine Collection Hall.

  "Xie Yun Dashi charged up to the sixth round in one breath, he's gone crazy!" "The most dazzling new star in the Jianghu of Pingzhou is none other than our Xie Yun Dashi from the Medicine Pavilion. He spent nearly twenty years cultivating in the library, not in vain." "Xie Yun Dashi is our role model, even if we can't reach his heights, we must still work hard to cultivate martial arts and strive to achieve one-tenth of his accomplishments!"

  Ye Qin has been focusing on his training for the past two days and only vaguely heard about the intense fight that took place at the martial arts arena. However, he didn't know that Xie Yun was furious after losing to him twice and rushed onto the stage, knocking down Ma Yun of the Zhen Bao gang.

  He spends about half a time every day to complete the miscellaneous tasks in the hall, and most of the remaining daytime is hidden in a private courtyard in the southeast of the county town, refining spiritual pills and practicing magic. At night, he returns to the stone house in the small courtyard of the medicine collection hall to meditate and take pills for cultivation.

  That evening, when the lights were first lit, Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiao each carried a large basin of dinner from the kitchen courtyard back to their stone house in the small courtyard, making a racket.

  They were arguing over how many more rounds Shiyun Dashi could continue to support.

  Yang Yicheng highly praised Xie Yun: "Master Xie has a deep foundation, and in the county of Zhujixian, there is no younger expert who can surpass him. He will definitely be able to hold on until the eighth round and become our fourth top-notch expert in the Medicine Pavilion."

  Feng Xiao disagreed, "That's not necessarily true. Xie Yun, the senior brother, spent two whole days and only just entered the sixth round. I think he's already exhausted. To rush through the seventh round, he'll have to fight all night, and to complete the eighth round, it will definitely take until tomorrow afternoon. Can he handle that?"

  Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiao were arguing over food, pushing the door into the stone house, but saw Ye Qin sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, cultivating his inner strength. Suddenly, they felt both amused and annoyed. All the disciples of the medicine hall were cheering for Xie Yun, the senior brother, while Lao Er was calmly cultivating his inner strength in the room, as if he had nothing to do with the outside world.

  Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiaohao quickly finished their dinner, rested for a while in the house, and then insisted on pulling Ye Qin to watch the Wheel Guard Battle at the Martial Arts Arena. Such a wonderful Wheel Guard Battle, in Zhujici County, may only be seen once in a lifetime, and after this Medicine Assembly, it will be hard to see again.

  Ye Qin couldn't refuse them, so he reluctantly agreed to go with them to the martial arts arena that evening to "cheer on" Xie Yun. They also invited back Money Rouxiu and Sun Ying, and together they went out onto the streets to join in the excitement.

  At night, on the main street of Zhujici County, rows of large red lanterns were hung high, and under the fiery light, the whole county was illuminated.

  Although it was already evening, the vast majority of shops were still open. In the night market, every household in the county town had just finished dinner and went out for a stroll. The streets were crowded with people coming and going, forming a continuous stream.

  Everywhere can be seen wearing luxurious silk, shaking folding fans, and selling **rich and noble young masters. The girls on the street are squeezing their eyebrows and eyes. There are also some rogues and beggars who wander around in the city, doing their business.

  In recent months, the influx of outsiders and merchants has made Zhujia County Town unusually lively and prosperous. Especially in the northwest city area where gangs gather, it is even more crowded with people.

  Ye Qin, Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and others, five fellow apprentices, arrived at the martial arts arena in the late afternoon, when it was most crowded and noisy. The crowd cheered and shouted for Xie Yun. Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiao were still arguing about how many rounds Xie Yun could last. These two little girls chattered excitedly all the way, seeing the crowds and excitement.

  Ye Qin let out a soft sigh in his heart, he and his four fellow disciples hadn't walked together like this in a long time, without having to worry about the affairs of the Medicine Pavilion or engage in rivalries, purely enjoying their camaraderie as fellow students.

  It's just that such opportunities will be scarce in the future.

  Ye Qin's eyes, with a deep and complex emotion, mixed with a hint of sadness and desolation. However, his face remained as expressionless as ever, while in his heart he was thinking about something, and at the same time gazing towards the martial arts arena.

  Inside the martial arts arena, which covers several hectares of land, there are eleven arenas. The ten surrounding ones are secondary arenas, and anyone who wants to engage in a friendly match can go up and fight. However, the main arena in the center, which is several meters high, is not accessible to just anyone. It is the exclusive arena for the "Wheel Guard Arena Great War". Only those who have been qualified by the tournament organizers are allowed to go up.

  Xie Yun had just defeated his sixty-third challenger, holding the precious sword, with a cold expression, sitting quietly in the center of the main arena, recovering his spirit and physical strength while waiting for the next challenger to come on stage. After two days and nights of fierce battles, Xie Yun was exhausted but still maintained the demeanor of a warrior, showing that his determination was stronger than anyone else's.

  Ye Qin suddenly had a feeling. He smiled calmly, as long as he was determined to cultivate the Tao of immortality, everything else would follow naturally, and there was no need to spend so much thought on it. Thinking of this, he also relaxed, and his footsteps quickened by several degrees.
