After the battle at Zhen Dao Hall, Li Hui's life returned to calmness. Neither Han Xue nor Chen Mu Feng, who liked to pretend to be a master, came to trouble Li Hui again.
Li Hui's strength exposed in that one war was enough to make everyone feel apprehensive. Of course, there were also some arrogant young people who wanted to quickly become famous by defeating Li Hui. For this kind of person, Li Hui actually welcomed them, with only one requirement: a bet of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. As a result, these challengers retreated in succession.
Don't look at Chen Mu Feng, Han Xue and the others, they take out 10 middle-grade spirit stones as if it's nothing. In fact, 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones is a considerable amount. Ordinary inner sect disciples only receive 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones per year.
Han Xue, Chen Mu Feng, these are all from large immortal families, with high innate talents and are key cultivation objects for both their families and sects. This is why they have some extra surplus spiritual stones. Even so, I'm afraid that one thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones would still make them feel a lingering pain.
Li Hui didn't take these things to heart, and every day he still hid in his residence in the Yuankai Xianfu to cultivate, and when it was time, he would go to the Zhendao Temple's trial practice room to practice swordsmanship.
He had just obtained twenty pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to two thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones. This made Li Hui feel less heartache when cultivating in the trial room.
Danyang Peak, outside a certain stone cave
"Master Ren should have arrived at the pass by now, but we've been waiting for two days in a row and still haven't seen his shadow."
"Wang Shidi, just be patient, it's possible that Ren Shixiong is at a critical juncture in his cultivation and has extended his closed-door meditation for several days or even over ten days, which is normal."
"That's what I said, but I really can't wait any longer. That new disciple is just too arrogant. If I don't speak out, I really can't bear it."
Three disciples of the third generation of Bi Xiang Men in green clothes are standing at the entrance of a stone cave, chatting and seemingly waiting for someone.
These three people were among the three Huahua Messengers who followed Han Xue that day. One was named Liu Kun, one was named Wang Ze, and one was named Qin Wenjiang.
"Hmph, that Li Hui still has to thank us three for becoming the laughing stock of the entire Bi Xiang Men's third generation disciples. If we really let him off like this, how can we mix in Bi Xiang Men in the future?" Liu Kun said with a scowl.
"Yes, just thinking about that day when he was standing on the stage with that arrogant attitude, I would have liked to trample him under my feet and make him kneel down to beg for mercy." Wang Ze was also gritting his teeth.
"Alright, if you really have the ability, why didn't you go on stage that day? What's the point of being tough here?" Qin Wenjiang, on the other hand, was somewhat unenthusiastic and lacking in interest.
"What do you mean? It's as if you weren't there that day? Why didn't you go on stage? Now you're pretending to be a good person in front of me?" Wang Ze was struck by the words, feeling somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, and retorted coldly.
"Why don't you all just shut up? Aren't you ashamed enough already? If Snow Mistress hadn't stepped in that day, I reckon we wouldn't have had the face to walk out of the martial arts hall. Speaking of which, I do admire Chen Mu Feng a bit - although he lost, at least he fought openly and left with his head held high. Now everyone outside is saying that the three of us are cowardly like mice, scared witless by Li Hui, and they've even given us a nickname: 'The Danyang Three Mice'."
The three of them fell into silence. All three were disciples of Danyang Peak. There was a saying on Danyang Peak, "One English and Three Heroes". These three heroes referred to the three of them, who would have thought that now the "Danyang Three Heroes" had become the "Danyang Three Rats".
The remaining "Yi Ying" refers to Ren Yunfei, a direct disciple of Liang Yan, the first master of Danyang Peak.
Ren Yunfei has a Wind Attribute Spirit Root and is the most talented third-generation disciple of Dan Yang Peak.
Six years ago, Danyang Peak's first leader Liang Yan discovered Ren Yunfei, who possessed the Wind Spirit Root, by chance in a Jianghu sect while traveling outside. Overjoyed, he directly brought him back to Bixiao Gate and accepted him as his personal disciple.
In the Bi Xiao Gate, in recent decades, if we talk about the disciples inside the gate, Danyang Peak can be said to have produced a lot of talents, especially Liu Kun and his generation. At the same time, there are three true spirit root disciples under Danyang Peak, plus Ren Yunfei who entered the gate one year earlier than them, people call them "One Ying Three Jie".
The prosperity of talents is such that even Yun Xiao Peak, where the leader is located, cannot compare with Dan Yang Peak.
Ren Yunfei is twenty years old this year and has already reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining. Recently, he was ordered by Liang Yan, the first seat of Dan Yang Peak, to close his doors for a hundred days to impact the great perfection of the ninth layer of Qi Refining. These two days just happened to be the day he came out of seclusion.
Reaching the ninth layer of Qi Refining at the age of twenty doesn't seem like much. But if you knew that Ren Yunfei started practicing at fourteen and reached this level in just six years, it's truly deserving of being called a heaven-defying talent.
Ren Yunfei was called "Ying" because he came from a Jianghu school and was obsessed with martial arts when traveling in Jianghu. After entering Bixiao Gate, he still maintained his Jianghu habits, being extremely fond of fighting and having extremely strong combat power. Among the three generations of disciples in Bixiao Gate, Ren Yunfei should be ranked first in terms of combat power.
In the first two years, Ren Yunfei challenged all the stronger disciples of the third generation of Bi Xiangmen. At first, due to Ren Yunfei's lower cultivation level, he would occasionally lose one or two games. As time went on, with Ren Yunfei's wind spirit root talent, his cultivation speed was rapid, and as his cultivation deepened, there were no more opponents in the entire third generation of disciples.
So Ren Yunfei's "one hero" is the heroic hero!
Liu Kun, Wang Ze and Qin Wenjiang were waiting for Ren Yunfei at this moment. After losing face in front of Li Hui that day, they thought about how to vent their anger. In the end, they thought of Ren Yunfei who was closing here.
If Ren Yunfei were to take action, taking down a mere Li Hui would be a trivial matter. With this thought in mind, the three of them spent the past two days waiting outside the stone cave where Ren Yunfei was in seclusion.
Three people were getting bored and losing patience when the stone blocking the entrance suddenly rippled like water. Then the cave door opened wide, and a heroic young man walked out of the cave.
"Master Ren!" Liu Kun and the other two happily went up to greet him.
That majestic young man was Ren Yunfei, who had just ended his closed-door training. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Liu Kun and the other two guarding the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but pause for a moment: "Liu Shidi, Wang Shidi, Qin Shidi, what are you doing here?"
Liu Kun took a step forward, his face full of smiles: "The three younger brothers have specially waited again for the elder brother to come out of the pass."
Wang Ze and Qin Wenjiang also hastily chimed in on the side.
Ren Yunfei furrowed his brow, he and these three junior brothers were all from the same Dan Yang Peak lineage, and they were familiar with each other. However, Ren Yunfei was the direct disciple of Liang Yan, the first seat of Dan Yang Peak, while Liu Kun and the others were only the direct disciples of three foundation-building cultivators. Usually, Ren Yunfei even lived next to Liang Yan's cave mansion, and they hadn't reached the point where he would close up in seclusion and have them wait outside for him to come out.
Moreover, in the past when I closed up to cultivate, I had never seen these three junior brothers be so enthusiastic. Thinking of this, Ren Yunfei spoke up: "Junior brothers, what is it that you want to say, please speak directly."
"Master Ren, it's like this..." Wang Ze hastily stepped forward and added oil to the fire as he told the story of Li Hui.
Ren Yunfei furrowed his brow: "You're saying there's a new disciple named Li Hui whose swordsmanship is very formidable?"
The three of them hastily nodded in agreement.
"Even Lian Chen Wu Feng was defeated by his sword?"
"Not just Chen Mufeng, even that Korean Snow Shijie was easily defeated by him."
Ren Yunfei furrowed his brow in thought. Chen Mufeng's swordsmanship was indeed not bad, and he had also sparred with him many times, although he always lost to himself, but it was true that he had some real skills. As for the beautiful Han Xue, her combination of blue silk and wooden system magic was indeed quite troublesome. Both of them were defeated by a new disciple named Li Hui, it seemed that Li Hui really had some ability.
"Then, Brother Li Hui made a statement that anyone can challenge him and if they win, he will give them 1,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Of course, if they lose, they have to give him 1,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones as well. Until now, no one has dared to challenge him again." Qin Wenjiang added fuel to the fire.
"This is interesting, Li Hui is indeed arrogant enough!" Ren Yunfei's face flashed with a hint of excitement. He had always liked to engage in martial arts competitions and exchanges. However, among the three generations of disciples in Bi Xiang Men, it was already difficult to find an opponent, and he felt somewhat lonely. Unexpectedly, just as he had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he received such news as soon as he left his retreat.
"Does Li Hui go to the martial arts hall at a fixed time every day?" Ren Yunfei asked.
Liu Kun and the others knew that this matter was settled as soon as they heard it, and Ren Yunfei's good fighting spirit was stirred up again. He couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. Immediately, he told Ren Yunfei about Li Hui's daily schedule of going to the martial arts hall.
"Alright, I'll go and meet Li Hui then! Thanks also to the three of you for telling me this news." Ren Yunfei said, his eyes already drifting away, clearly thinking about fighting Li Hui.
"Senior brother is being polite, I suppose senior brother has just come out of the pass and still has many things to do, so we won't disturb you!" Liu Kun and the other two saw that their goal had been achieved and hastily bid farewell.
"Hmph, Li Hui, just wait to be beaten until you're picking up your teeth from the ground!" Thinking of this, Li Hui was about to be taught a lesson by Ren Yunfei, and the three of them felt a sense of satisfaction.
