Chapter 62: Entering the Faction

  Just as the shops everywhere were booming, Feng Xiao also made a major decision. He decided to join a sect and learn from a master. The sect he chose was: Mount Hua.

  Although the official has never made a statement, people in Jianghu firmly believe that Huashan School will have Dugu Jiujian, and Dugu Jiujian will definitely be the strongest swordsmanship in Jianghu, which is already recognized by everyone as a natural truth.

  Just for the four words "Dugu Nine Swords", Huashan School became the most popular school in Jianghu. Feng Xiaoxiao joined Huashan, of course, also because of this reason, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is Feng Xiaoxiao's favorite martial arts novel, if he can really practice Dugu Nine Swords in the game, that feeling is truly indescribable.

  Of course, there is also a drawback, and that is that Feng Xiao Xiao and Long Yan became fellow disciples.

  But all these are secondary, under the persuasion of "knowing each other and fighting a hundred battles without danger" in the dormitory of three people, the slight hesitation that Feng Xiao had originally also disappeared.

  Before joining the Huashan School, Feng Xiao Xiao had fantasized that as a high-level cultivator, she would receive special rewards. However, after joining, reality proved her to be just daydreaming. She was no different from the novice disciples who joined at level 10, and if she wanted to learn martial arts, she had to follow the rules and complete tasks step by step.

  The tasks are relatively simple, and they all follow a certain pattern. You find an NPC from the Huashan School, help him with something, and then he teaches you a new martial art skill. The types of tasks are also quite monotonous, mostly involving finding an excuse to go somewhere, kill someone, and retrieve something. For a high-level character like Feng Xiaoxiao, the combat part of these tasks is extremely easy, and most of the time is spent running around, almost to the point of exhaustion. Fortunately, with the guidance of Huashan School's carefree disciples, I was able to avoid taking many detours. In just a few days, Feng Xiaoxiao feels like she has walked all the roads she will ever need to walk in her lifetime.

  During the task, there were also some small accidents that were different from ordinary people. When learning Huashan School's introductory internal skill, after completing the task, the NPC said to Feng Xiao: "Your basic internal skill is not yet fully pure, do you need to learn the introductory mind method?"

  The usually silly Feng Xiao Xiao suddenly became clever and chose to decline, then sought opinions from Lao Da and the others. Everyone expressed that they had never practiced basic internal skills before, so they had never encountered such a situation. As for how to handle it, everyone unanimously agreed: since the system says you're not fully proficient yet, then practice until you are!

  These days, the wind has been blowing and I haven't practiced my inner skills for a long time. The proficiency is still stuck at the level I had when I first practiced it. Practicing inner skills is the most boring part of the game, so I've been intentionally avoiding it. Now that I can no longer avoid it, I'm starting to practice with a heavy heart. If I really have to sit and meditate all day to improve my inner skills, I estimate that players in the game would go crazy. Therefore, the game provides a special place for practicing inner skills, where you can pay a substantial amount of silver coins to let the system take care of your character's practice. The practice time is calculated based on how much you paid.

  Since the opening of Jibao's grocery store, Feng Xiaoxiao, as its supplier, has also started to accumulate some savings. Unfortunately, all these extra money were used by Feng Xiaoxiao for internal skill practice, every day before logging off, he would entrust the system to practice internal skills, and the money was spent in a way that made Feng Xiaoxiao often wake up from his dreams, he began to fully appreciate the importance of money in the game.

  The atmosphere of leveling up was once again pushed to its peak, although the Huashan swordsmanship had been seen countless times, but it's different when wielded by oneself, and finally being able to use the "Ruo Xu" sword made leveling up a joy without bounds.

  Within a few days, the level of Windy rose like a rocket that had escaped Earth's gravity, finally breaking through the 60th level. According to the habit of online game players, breaking through an integer is equivalent to achieving a major leap forward.

  In these few days, a big thing happened in the Jianghu. The Fei Yun Mountain Villa and Long Men Inn announced their merger, renamed as Fei Long Mountain Villa, with its base at the original Fei Yun Mountain Villa, and the leader being the original leader of Fei Yun Mountain Villa, Fei Yun, while the leader of Long Men Inn, Long Yan, became the deputy.

  But many people say that in fact, Longmen Inn was merged with Feiyun Villa and renamed to save the face of the people at Longmen Inn. What Longyan said was that he became a deputy leader, but in reality, he should have become the number one fighter under Feiyun's command.

  But anyway, Feilong Manor has become the number one gang in Jianghu overnight, which is an undisputed fact. The Iron Flag Alliance and Yijian East, who were previously quite powerful, have been surpassed all at once.

  The wind has broken through the 60th level, and the pace of leveling up has slowed down a bit in recent days. The cost of leveling up is also astonishing, and every day I come back with only a few coins left to practice internal skills. So, for the past few days, my main goal while killing monsters has been to earn money, with experience as secondary. As for those animals that don't drop any money or equipment, I've been showing mercy.

  These days, the leveling practice has been using Huashan swordsmanship. The wind can clearly feel that the proficiency growth is much faster than each move in "Wind Chasing the World". Although the power of the moves is far inferior to "Wind Rolling Clouds and Rain", with the help of "Ruo Xu" sword, it is also astonishingly powerful. In terms of internal energy consumption, it is also several levels lower, which undoubtedly occupies a greater advantage economically. "Wind Rolling Clouds and Rain", the signature move that Wind has been proud of for so long, has already been forgotten in a corner.

  The wind was blowing gently as he left Yangzhou to learn his skills, and after completing them, he returned to the old place in Yangzhou to continue practicing. The city of Yangzhou became even more lively due to the merger of two major factions, with many new shops opening on the streets and alleys, presenting a thriving scene.

  The wind is gently strolling on the streets of Yangzhou, but today's streets are not like they used to be. All the rooms have opened their doors for business, and each store has its own unique name, but most of them seem familiar. For example, as I walked along this street, I saw several shops called "Shu Fang Zhai", and many others with names like "No. * *".

  The wind was blowing gently, and the atmosphere was lively. People were bustling about between shops, counting the small amount of money in their pockets. They saw something they wanted to buy here, and something else they desired there. Completely forgetting that many of these things were identical to what they had just handed over to the聚宝盆 (a pawnshop) to sell on their behalf, it was as if everything belonged to someone else, verifying the philosophy that nothing in life is truly one's own.

  Suddenly, everyone on the street got up, and the wind whistled as they left. The reason was that Fei Yun, the leader of the Feilong Mountain Villa, had crossed the road.

  Fei Yun's popularity in the Jianghu increased greatly after the merger of the two major factions, and he became a household name in Yangzhou. Everyone took pride in knowing Fei Yun, and even if they didn't know him personally, just having seen him was good enough.

  So Fei Yun walked on the road, this normal thing was also watched by everyone as a lively scene.

  The wind was blowing strongly as he squeezed through the crowd, looking around. Of course, Fei Yun wouldn't be walking alone on the road. The wind saw Long Yan and Liu Yue by his side, as well as the other three people who had sat at the same table as Liu Yue that day. This further solidified the wind's impression of those three people. One of them, with their astonishing strength that day, still made the wind shiver even now.

  Feilong Manor's numerous members swaggered through the streets, leaving behind a chorus of admiration. As the largest and most powerful clan in Jianghu, Feilong Manor's influence was unparalleled, its membership always equal to the maximum limit set by the clan. Whenever this limit was raised, the number of applicants flocking to join was almost equivalent to the population of Jianghu itself.

  The wind was blowing gently as they bid farewell, and in their hearts, they were thinking that it was time to leave Yangzhou. If they weren't careful, they might run into Longyan again, which would be another unnecessary trouble.
