Silence! The surroundings were completely quiet, with only the sound of air conditioning humming.
"How is it possible... we actually won!" Someone broke the silence, and the crowd below erupted.
"Brother Shi, we won! We won!" Han Yunxi, realizing what had happened, jumped up and down like a child, completely beside himself with joy.
Although Ren Pingsheng had assured him repeatedly before, he had not believed it in his heart. How could a warrior at the eighth level of Qi Refinement possibly be a match for someone at the eleventh level? He had even considered what to do after losing.
No matter what method he had to use, he would not give up. He had even thought about eloping. But now, none of that was necessary. Because they had won, at this moment his gratitude towards Ren Pingsheng was like a surging river, endless and overwhelming.
"Wanxing, what did you think of that sword just now? Do you think you could have blocked it?" The head of the Qian family asked the Black-Clad Warrior beside him with a serious expression.
"If I wanted to block it, I would need to use at least eighty percent of my strength. I just don't know if that was all he had. If he has more hidden strength, I can't guarantee victory," said the black-clad man known as Wanxing, also looking somewhat grave.
He was a perfected Qi Refinement warrior; if he didn't have absolute confidence in winning, that was truly astonishing. After all, the opponent was only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. If he were to break through to above the tenth level, who in the Qi Refinement realm could match him?
"If I’m not mistaken, he only used intermediate sword techniques just now, but their power is incredibly exaggerated. Is that really possible?" The head of the Qian family had sharp eyes. He was filled with doubt; although he was also a perfected Qi Refinement warrior, he believed he couldn't achieve such feats.
"Actually, this kind of thing is possible; it's just very difficult. As you know, our Wan family once produced strong warriors long ago and left behind some texts. The difference between ordinary people and those extraordinary geniuses lies not only in cultivation and martial skills but most importantly in their mastery and application of power."
"Mastery and application of power? But we are not weak in that regard either!"
"No, we are far too behind. A mastery and application of power like ours can be achieved by any perfected Qi Refinement warrior, and they might even do it better than us. However, we don’t even qualify as beginners compared to them. Those extraordinary geniuses can unleash two or even three times the power based on their original foundation. Just think about how vast that gap is!"
"So that's why this intermediate sword technique has such great power. So..." The head of the Qian family fell silent for a moment.
"That's right; this is an extraordinary genius who can unleash at least double the power through his mastery and application of strength, or even more," said Wanxing, the Black-Clad Warrior, with a mix of envy and respect.
One must say that this person's knowledge is quite impressive. It seems that the so-called Wanjia was at least as powerful as the Canglan Sword Sect, if not more.
"Indeed, the power of the sword technique has doubled compared to before. This is the effect of double the power. Even when compared to a high-level sword technique mastered to perfection, it is not lacking at all." Ren Pingsheng looked at the Hundred Refinements Sword in his hand, feeling a bit excited.
His mastery and application of power were gained after battling in Wanzang Valley against the Black-Haired Zombie, where he executed tens of thousands of sword strikes. He had to thank the Seven Stars Sword Technique; without such a medium, he would not have been able to progress so quickly in his understanding and use of power.
Of course, the Black-Haired Zombie also played an indispensable role; without its practice, there would be no current achievements.
"It seems that aside from cultivation, the most important thing is learning to master and apply pure power. Even martial techniques like Movement Technique cannot compare; I must practice diligently in the future." Ren Pingsheng sheathed his sword; this mission was complete, and soon he would obtain the secret formula and be able to leave this place.
"Uncle, it seems we have won by a stroke of luck in this competition. I wonder if you..." Han Yunxi asked softly, unusually nervous and a bit shy.
"Ahem... As long as Xiner has no objections, I naturally have none." The head of the Qian family hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Haha, thank you, Uncle! Thank you! Xiner, did you hear that? Uncle agreed!" Han Yunxi said excitedly, looking at the woman in purple not far away with a silly smile on her face.
"Hehe, I heard it long ago; I can see how happy you are. However, you still need to go through some tests. Only when you qualify will I agree."
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of any test. For Xiner, I'm willing to face anything." The two began to whisper to each other.
"Hehe, may I ask which sect this young brother belongs to?" The head of the Qian family asked with a smile.
"I have met with the head of the Qian family; I am an inner disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect. I apologize if there are any shortcomings during my visit here," Ren Pingsheng said with a friendly smile. For him, respect begets respect; he would naturally not treat others coldly.
"Oh, so you are a distinguished disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect. How disrespectful of me. Speaking of which, our Qian family's disciple Qian Dali is also in the Canglan Sword Sect. I wonder if you know him?"
"I have had some encounters with Qian Dali. He is one of the Top Ten Experts among outer disciples and quite famous. I imagine he should have become an inner disciple by now!"
"Haha, although that kid has some abilities, he is far behind you, young brother. I wonder if you came to Yunxi City for any specific purpose? Since you are Dali's senior brother, there's no need to be polite."
"Just call me Ren Pingsheng, the head of the Qian family asked me to. Actually, I came here this time for the Yunxi wine; one of my elders really enjoys fine wine. Now that I have it, it's just right as this time's reward," Ren Pingsheng explained.
"I see. It seems that your elder must be quite a person. I still have some Yunxi wine here, all sent by that brat Yunxi, so I'll give it to you as well. By the way, if you don't mind calling me uncle like Yunxi does, that would be great," the head of the Qian family said with a warm smile.
"Is that so? Then... thank you very much, Uncle," he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Although there was a reward, it was just a jar of wine; he wouldn't mind getting a bit more. He also felt there was nothing wrong with the head of the Qian family's goodwill, as it might come in handy in the future.
"You are too polite, my dear nephew. Today is a good day; I'll have my servants prepare some food and drink to celebrate the engagement between Yunxi and Xin'er. What do you think?"
"I naturally have no objections. I see that Brother Han and the others also share feelings for each other. It's a beautiful thing when lovers become family," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, not minding to say a few kind words.
Soon, the group that had just been in a duel sat together, chatting and laughing. The banquet table was filled with clinking glasses and delicious food, which opened everyone's appetite. Ren Pingsheng also drank quite a bit, but he always took only small sips and never overindulged.
During the feast, many people sought him out to discuss cultivation and martial skills since his previous performance had left a deep impression on many. Taking this opportunity, he made some connections. Ren Pingsheng didn't hold back and shared some of his experiences, which proved beneficial for quite a few people.
That night, the group stayed up late and decided not to leave but to stay at the Qian family residence.
"Brother Ren, thank you so much this time! I'll give you some secret recipes I've collected!" Han Yunxi handed over five scrolls. They contained brewing recipes.
"Thank you! I wonder what kinds of wines they are and if there's any hope of brewing them," Ren Pingsheng said curiously as he flipped through them.
"Hehe, there are two kinds that are similar in quality to Yunxi wine; there is indeed a bit of hope. As for the other three higher-quality wines, don't even think about it. Especially the most precious one, Drunken Red Dust; it requires materials I've never heard of before, and even some materials from royal-level monsters—how could that be possible!"
"I see; it is indeed difficult to collect these materials. However, I'll take them for now; who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Good! If you ever have the fortune to brew any of these fine wines in the future, you must remember to come here and let me taste them," Han Yunxi said with a cheerful smile. He loved wine too and felt that while the chances were slim, he still held onto a glimmer of hope.
"Alright! If I truly have hope of brewing these three wines, I will definitely come to Yunxi City to find you," Ren Pingsheng replied with a calm smile, looking forward to something that might happen many years later.
After staying at the Qian family for three days, Ren Pingsheng took his leave. He still had many things to do and couldn't afford to stay here any longer.
"I didn't expect to receive two jars of Yunxi wine again. This time, I can keep one for myself. The head of the Qian family is quite generous; it seems he is someone worth befriending. If I need more in the future, I could also offer something in return." Ren Pingsheng thought while riding on the galloping Black Demon Horse.
"Master, the person has already left. Let's go back!" Outside Yunxi City, the Black-Clad Warrior named Wanxing said softly.
"Yes, let's head back. I hope our Qian family can take this opportunity to advance further. Although on the surface our Qian family appears to be thriving in Yunxi City, there are still many forces lurking in the shadows. I must make some plans early!" The head of the Qian family murmured.
"Our strength is still weak; we lack high-level experts who can stand on the stage. If too much time passes without any experts appearing, some people might not be able to hold back."
"Indeed, after we return, you should focus on seclusion and strive to break through to become a warrior stronghold as soon as possible."
"Master, aren't you also on the verge of a breakthrough?"
"There are still many matters I need to handle. Once I'm done, I will enter seclusion for a breakthrough. As long as one of us breaks through, no one will dare to act recklessly for a while."
Looking into the distance, the head of the Qian family sighed softly, "I hope Ren Xianzhi can remember today's kindness. A genius like him is destined for greatness. If he gives our Qian family a little help when the time comes, it would be enough for us to benefit for a lifetime."
"He doesn't seem like someone who is ungrateful. I believe that if we truly need his help in the future, he won't refuse," the Black-Clad Warrior said optimistically.
"That's also why I want to befriend him. Alright, let's go back! Strive for your breakthrough as a warrior soon." The two turned and entered Yunxi City.
As for how long they would have to wait for their anticipated reunion, no one knew. Perhaps it would be ten years, perhaps twenty years, or perhaps they would never meet again!
