The man heard Li Rui address the young master as Brother Duan, and the young master addressed Li Rui as Brother Li. He was a little surprised and thought to himself that he had come to Jiangnan Gusu to find a handsome and talented young master Bu Yao who was famous in the martial world. He thought that it must be one of the two people in front of him. Unexpectedly, he thought wrong and cupped his fists in return."I'm Qiao Yue. Nice to meet you!”At this moment, two burly men dressed in simple clothes arrived.
The two of them walked to Qiao Yue's table and bowed respectfully. Qiao Yue only nodded and did not stand up to return the greeting. The crippled man first glanced at Li Rui and Duan Xingyan without batting an eyelid, and Qiao Yue indicated that it was fine. One of the older men said in a low voice,"Reporting to Big Brother, the other party has agreed to meet at the Oak Spring on Grass Hat Mountain tomorrow morning.”Qiao Yue nodded and said,"Tomorrow morning is a bit rushed."”"My brother told them that the date was set for ten days later." However, the other party seemed to already know that we didn't have enough people. He mocked us and said that if we didn't dare to go, we wouldn't go tomorrow!”"Alright, you spread the word. Everyone will gather at Oak Spring on Grass Hat Mountain at midnight tonight." We will arrive first and wait for the other party to come to the appointment.”The two of them bowed in agreement and turned to go downstairs.
Duan Xingyan did not know who Qiao Yue was when he first arrived in Jianghu, but Li Rui had been waiting for a long time. He was overjoyed."Elder brother, are you the leader of the Han Gang, the Qiao Yue Qiao Gang Leader who is known as 'Qiao Yue in the North and Bu Yao in the South'?”Duan Xingyan wasn't completely clueless, but he knew what the Han Gang was. He said,"So big brother is a true hero, a true hero ~~! Greetings, Duan Xingyan."
Qiao Yue was magnanimous and very humble. He did not take pleasure in flattery and chuckled."It's all because of the love of the people in the martial arts world ~~!”Li Rui raised his wine bowl and said,"It's a great pleasure to be able to get to know the two of you. I'll be able to see this ~~!"”Qiao Yue was very happy to see Li Rui being forthright. He picked up his wine bowl and said,""I'm very happy to be able to get to know you two brothers by accident. Come, come ~~"
Duan Xingyan also raised his wine bowl heroically, but Li Rui saw Duan Xingyan from the corner of his eye. Although he had a troubled expression, he instantly looked like he was unafraid of death! In this world, he had long heard of the Dali Duan family's ultimate technique, the Nine Meridians Divine Sword.‘Shaoyang Finger's one was the beginning of Dao, and Nine Pulses Divine Sword's nine was the extreme of Dao.'Therefore, Li Rui guessed that the martial arts of the Duan family of Dali were also Taoist divine arts. However, most of the people in the Duan family of Dali believed in Buddhism. No wonder the two profound divine arts were so common among the descendants of the family. It was only because Duan Xingyan had the chance to learn the supreme internal art of the Taoist South China Xiaoyao Sect that he had a great fortune in martial arts cultivation. It was Emperor Duan, who was famous in the martial world in the future, who first cultivated the Daoist's Innate Origin Technique. He also had the opportunity to learn the general principles of the Nine Yin Origin Technique that he had comprehended from the Longevity Daoist Canon. Only then did he cultivate the Shaoyang Finger to the first-grade Shaoyang Sword realm that no one had ever achieved before or since.
Li Rui secretly laughed at Duan Xingyan drinking like he was risking his life, but he knew that he was fine. He would use the Nine Pulses Divine Sword to expel some of the wine later, and Li Rui could also comprehend the Nine Pulses Divine Sword's aura circulation and force generation.'The Shaoyang Finger was of the same origin as the Nine Pulses Divine Sword. Li Rui knew the Shaoyang Finger like the back of his hand. With Li Rui's superb cultivation and the close distance between him and Duan Xingyan, it was not difficult for him to sense it. Moreover, Li Rui had the Black Jade Spiritual Pearl that he had not used for a long time. It could help Li Rui accurately detect any true energy fluctuations at a close distance. For Li Rui, this wasn't difficult at all!
Li Rui and the others picked up their wine bowls and drank together. Qiao Yue laughed and said,"How refreshing!" Li Rui also cheered in unison,"So satisfying!"”Although Duan Xingyan was depressed, when he met someone who had the same temperament as him, he also had the idea of risking his life to accompany a gentleman. He also used wine to drown his sorrows. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, saying,"Good wine, good wine!"”Li Rui felt that it was normal for Qiao Yue to finish the wine in one gulp, but he was also surprised to see Duan Xingyan. It turned out that Qiao Yue had also seen Duan Xingyan's troubled expression before drinking. He did not expect him to be so heroic. He felt extremely happy and continued to pour more wine. The three of them drank, one bowl for each other. However, after finishing the third bowl, Li Rui noticed that Duan Xingyan had indeed placed his hand on the windowsill without batting an eyelid.
Li Rui knew that Duan Xingyan would not get drunk, so he was very relieved. He continued to drink while urging the Black Jade Spiritual Pearl to sense the fluctuations of Genuine Qi nearby. After Li Rui's investigation, comparison, and analysis, he found that the Nine Pulses Divine Sword was indeed a substitute created because it was difficult to cultivate the Shaoyang Finger to the highest realm. However, the lethality of the Nine Pulses Divine Sword was definitely not inferior to the first-grade Shaoyang Finger. However, in terms of healing effects, there was no comparison at all.
However, because Li Rui was distracted, he did not notice that Qiao Yue, who had suddenly noticed the abnormal fluctuation of the spiritual energy, suddenly trembled. The reason was that when Li Rui activated the Inkjade Spiritual Pearl, it would inevitably gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it did not gather on its own, the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was four to five times higher than usual, and the activity was also several times higher.
After all, Qiao Yue was already a top-notch expert at the peak of the Houtian realm. Moreover, when he was practicing martial arts or fighting against enemies, he could often temporarily perform to the Xiantian realm. He only needed a little more internal energy to completely enter the Xiantian realm. Originally, Qiao Yue would need one or two years of accumulation to slowly absorb the wandering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the world before he could step into the Connate Realm. However, after the gathering and fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he had benefited a lot. In at most two months, he had the hope of entering a new realm.
Duan Xingyan's drunken eyes were hazy, but he used the Lesser Marsh Sword on his little finger to expel the wine. Li Rui used the spirit pearl to carefully sense the fluctuations of the Nine Pulses Divine Sword's spirit energy. Qiao Yue, on the other hand, carefully sensed the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Fortunately, no one noticed the silence at this moment. Otherwise, it would have been a little strange. The scene seemed to freeze. In just a short moment, everyone regained their senses and continued to drink while distracted. There was no trace of abnormality!
The three of them continued to drink one bowl at a time. They finished the 10 catties of broomcorn in less than 15 minutes. The more Duan Xingyan drank, the more sober he became. The wine flowed out from his fingertips as he called out to himself,"Wonderful!" Qiao Yue had originally seen Duan Xingyan's face turn red after drinking two bowls, but who knew that the more he drank, the more energetic he became. He clicked his tongue and said in surprise,"Brother, your alcohol tolerance is actually not weak.”
"Little Brother's alcohol tolerance varies from person to person. As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are few when you meet a bosom friend. This big bowl, I think it's only about 20 cups. 1,000 cups need to be filled with 40 to 50 bowls. I'm afraid my two brothers can't drink fifty bowls.”Li Rui saw that the atmosphere was so good and was also drinking happily. He smiled and said,"It's true that a thousand cups of wine are too little to meet a bosom friend. Today, we're fated to meet, so we should drink to our heart's content ~~" Qiao Yue was also very happy and said,""Very good, very good!”Li Rui called the bartender over and said,"Waiter, go and get another 30 catties of broomcorn. Hurry up and get it ~~!"”
Li Rui casually tipped the bartender a tael of silver. The bartender smiled and didn't say anything to dissuade him. He quickly carried three large jars of broomcorn over. The three of them each took a jar and smiled at each other. They each removed the seal. He poured himself a cup and drank. The three of them had startled the other customers. The entire second floor was cheering and watching the fun. The three of them drank evenly. In just one meal, the three of them had already drunk more than thirty bowls. Duan Xingyan knew that his fingers were playing tricks on him. The strong liquor had only circulated through his body for a short while, and he could drink endlessly. However, Li Rui and Qiao Yue had relied on their real abilities. Seeing that Li Rui and Qiao Yue had finished more than thirty bowls in a row, their expressions did not change at all, and they did not feel drunk at all. He admired them in his heart.
Duan Xingyan thought to himself,"If this continues, I will win." However, he was worried that his two brothers would drink too much and hurt their bodies.”After drinking forty bowls, he said,"Brothers, the three of us have already drunk forty bowls, right?”"Brother, you're still very clear-headed," the big man said with a smile.”Duan Xing smiled and said,"The three of us have met our match. We've met our match. It won't be easy to determine victory and defeat." If he continued to drink like this, his brother would not have enough money to pay for the drinks.”Li Rui knew that Duan Xingyan was short of money, so he said,"Brother, it's fine ~~!" Li Rui took out a golden leaf from his pocket and threw it to the bartender beside him. It landed lightly in the bartender's hand.
The wine was already to their heart's content. Li Rui saw everyone get up and said,"Why don't we have a competition of leg strength?”Qiao Yue had just finished drinking and was in high spirits. He said happily,"Alright, let's have a competition!" " Excellent!" Duan Xingyan also said. Then, the three of them filed out and directly jumped down from the window on the second floor. After landing, they rushed through the crowd without any distinction. After they left the city gate, they ran all the way. Qiao Yue charged forward, his Lightness Skill was extremely domineering, as if he was facing an enemy that would make him tremble in fear. Duan Xingyan, on the other hand, was walking elegantly with the Luoshen Void Steps, as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard. As for Li Rui, he used Heavenly Chasm Flying Crossing, and he could travel extremely far with a single leap without needing to borrow any strength. Every time, he drew a perfect arc!
The three of them walked for several miles at a time. Li Rui thought that Qiao Yue was indeed extraordinary to be able to keep up with him and Duan Xingyan even though he did not have an extremely high level of lightness skill. Duan Xingyan's lightness skill wasn't as ordinary as he had imagined. He was extremely nimble when he used the Goddess Luo's Illusory Steps. It was obvious that he had been influenced by Li Rui and was much more diligent in his practice. The three of them traveled for more than 30 miles before Qiao Yue chuckled,""Two brothers, Qiao Yue is truly impressed today. His inner energy cultivation is so deep. I, Qiao Yue, have really underestimated the heroes of the world!”
Duan Xingyan smiled elegantly."My two brothers, you are so much higher than me. I'm really ashamed!"”He then continued,"I'm ashamed to say this, but I was captured and brought to Jiangnan ~" He briefly explained how he was captured by Qiu Zhimo and how he met the two servant girls of the Buyao Family. Although it was a short story, he didn't hide anything, he didn't cover up all his bad luck.
Li Rui also smiled and said," Brother, this monk is so rude. I'll definitely punish him for this in the future!"”
After Qiao Yue heard the conversation between Li Rui and Duan Xingyan, he was surprised and delighted."Brother Li, Brother Duan, the two of you are very straightforward and heroic, something I've never seen before in my life. The three of us hit it off at first sight.”
Thank you for watching. If you think it's good, please send more flowers and collect them ~ I'll work harder ~
