Chapter 37: Double Star Xuan Boundary
In the woods behind Ye's house, it was already autumn, but the entire land still had a hint of sweltering heat. Ye Xuan was currently sitting cross-legged on a bluestone, today he didn't go to the arena because he felt that his cultivation in the Mystic Door had reached its limit, so he planned to break through to the second star Mystic Realm today.
What made Ye Xuan happy was that the challenges and training he had been through in recent days, relying on the Mahayana Fire Heaven Technique, had already opened up six acquired meridians. This speed shocked the elders of the Ye family once again. At first, many people did not think highly of his choice of fire attribute mind method, but now Ye Xuan proved with his strength that he was suitable for the fire attribute.
Ye Xuan activated the Great Heavenly Incineration Technique, and this time he swallowed two small Xuan Dan in one go. The purpose was to have enough Xuan Qi as a supplement when breaking through. A large amount of Xuan Qi was strongly absorbed by the eighteen meridians, and began to revolve around the black Xuan Gate. Ye Xuan felt the sense of saturation of the Xuan Gate getting stronger and stronger, and he trembled in anticipation of the breakthrough.
An hour later, the trembling he had been expecting finally arrived. This time was different from previous breakthroughs. The strong absorption of the meridians caused his entire body's muscles to tremble along with the Xuan Gate. The two small Xuan Dan's stored energy was quickly absorbed dry, but the Xuan Gate's trembling showed no signs of stopping.
"Hurry up and absorb the energy between heaven and earth to transform it!" The Chaos Old saw that he was now taking the Xiao Xuan Pill, which was too late, so he reminded him.
Hun Dun Lao's reminder was very timely, Ye Xuan immediately used the Mahayana Tianxian Jue to absorb the energy between heaven and earth. At this moment, Ye Xuan's body seemed to burst out with a strong suction force, and the surrounding energy began to gather towards him. These energies were quickly converted into Xuan Qi in his Dantian after entering his body, and then rushed towards the Xuan Gate.
When the energy in the air around Ye Xuan became thin, the tremors of his muscles slowed down and stopped. Just now when he was trembling, Ye Xuan didn't feel anything, but after stopping, his whole body had a kind of itchy pain.
But the itching pain didn't last long, and it slowly began to disappear. As the itching pain disappeared, the trembling of the Mysterious Gate finally stopped. Two dark, hidden cracks emerged, this was what Ye Xuan had been expecting for a long time - the Double Star Mysterious Realm!
Ye Xuan stood up, feeling the power of the Double Star Xuan boundary. His body was filled with energy, and he estimated that if he used the "Eight Directions Palm" now, he could at least produce four square palms, or maybe even five.
"There's only a month left until the August 15th tournament, and at that time, the young masters of the three major forces in Xihuo City will have to compete with each other. It seems that for the remaining month, I'll have to continue visiting the arena every day, as only actual combat can help me improve my fighting skills. I wonder what level is Shitu Hao and Dongfang Yan at now." Ye Xuan said to himself.
……
On this day, Ye Xuan came to the Daya Mall again. The two guards at the door saw him and said with a thud in their hearts: This madman who loves fighting has come again! Ye Xuan swaggered into the hall. He originally planned to go directly to the martial arts arena in the backyard, but the free trade in this hall was unusually lively, so he strolled around the hall.
In the hall, the items being traded were diverse and varied. Some people even brought ceramic jars to sell as treasures. Ye Xuan saw an old man selling knives, his stall had a sharp eight-ring inlaid knife on display. The eight rings seemed to be inlaid with something that emitted a dazzling light, revealing a hint of chilliness.
"Old man, how much is this knife?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
"Five hundred small Xuan Dan." The thin old man said in a low and deep voice with his eyes narrowed.
"What the fuck, is this a treasure? It's so expensive?" Ye Xuan was shocked, he didn't expect that this broken sword would cost 500 small Xuan Dan.
"This is indeed something I dug up from an ancient tomb, who knows if it contains a world-class secret recipe." The thin old man said with a hint of arrogance on his face, as if the knife really had a world-class secret recipe.
"You think this rare book is a sweet potato on the ground, when I don't recognize its value, who can you sell it to?" Ye Xuan hummed and turned his head to leave.
The frail old man saw Ye Xuan turn his head and walk away, the proud look on his face instantly disappeared, and he suddenly became a ball of flattery, smiling at Ye Xuan who was turning around: "Young knight-errant, if you really want it, I can sell it to you cheaper."
The old man looked at Ye Xuan and didn't respond to him, so he shouted again: "How about 50 small Xuan Dan, the lowest price, do you want it or not?"
Ye Xuan shook his head upon hearing this, thinking that the old man was too ruthless. He turned around and said, "You'd better keep it to sell to some fool instead."
Then, Ye Xuan looked around and thought that these street vendors probably didn't have any good treasures left. The really good stuff was probably all taken to be auctioned off. Just as he was about to head to the competition venue, suddenly, in the midst of the Soul Heart's chaos, an old man said: "Huh?"
Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks. Every time the old man's voice was filled with doubt, he knew that he must have discovered something secretive. He asked: "Old Man Hun Dun, what's wrong?"
"That broken lamp on the left stall is quite strange." said Lao Dun.
As expected, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile, this old man's eyes were indeed poisonous, and yet he could see things outside so clearly despite being trapped in his own soul.
Ye Xuan turned his head to the left and saw a stout man setting up a stall, on which there was a purple candle lamp, along with various metal tea cups, teapots and other utensils. Ye Xuan wondered in his heart: "What's special about that lamp?"
But at this time, the old man seemed to have disappeared and didn't say a word. Ye Xuan asked a few more questions but no one answered. Ye Xuan cursed in his heart, "What's wrong with this old man? Can't he finish what he's saying? Has he gone to take a dump?"
Ye Xuan walked over, his eyes scanned the surface of the candle lamp, and saw that there was nothing special about it, just like an ordinary candle lamp. But now he deeply believed in the words of the old man from the Chaos Sect, who said that it was not ordinary, and must be hiding some secret things.
Yexuan said to the stout man, "How much is this teacup?" He didn't directly ask the boss, because Yexuan knew that if you want to buy something, you mustn't reveal your thoughts, or else you'll definitely be taken advantage of.
"That was what I used to sell, a small Xuan Dan." The stout man said tentatively.
"Boss, don't cheat me, this is just an ordinary metal teacup, can it be worth a small Xuan Dan? It's not even worth that. You just want to sell more, but this is too black." Ye Xuan directly exposed the strong man's thoughts.
"Haha, well, young master, this is just the way things are sold. If you want the teacup, just take it, and as for the Xuan Dan, just give whatever you think is fair." The fat man said awkwardly, actually he had also picked up the teacup unintentionally in an old broken house, if he could sell it for a small Xuan Dan he would be satisfied.
"Alright, I'll give you two small Xuan Dan pills. I'll take the rest of this pile." Ye Xuan said with a very generous tone.
The stout man's heart leapt with joy when he heard the two small pellets, but he didn't show it and instead said in a very magnanimous tone: "I think you and I have a good affinity, so I'll sell them to you as you've asked."
Having agreed on the price, Ye Xuan put everything into his Qiankun bag, including the candle lamp. He also took out two small Xuan Dan pills and tossed them to the fat strongman, who received them with hands that couldn't help but tremble with excitement. What a profit!
Ye Xuan didn't have the mood to look at the robust man's almost drooling expression, and instead turned around and strolled towards the backyard arena, thinking to himself as he walked, this old thing is really powerful, I wonder what secrets this lamp is hiding.
