Following the instructions of the villagers of Green Mountain Village, Di Fei arrived at the city not far from the village. He was full of curiosity about this unfamiliar martial arts world. He was dressed plainly and didn't stand out, but he was passionate about martial arts. He stood in the crowd, carefully observing the items and people at various stalls.
The early summer sun sprinkled over the bustling market, creating a lively scene. The stalls on both sides of the market were filled with a dazzling array of goods, filling every corner. The crowd bustled about, practitioners from different sects and villagers weaving through, each searching for their own needed items.
Passed by a stall selling medicinal herbs, a middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes was introducing the various medicinal properties of herbs to people. His voice was clear and gentle, indicating a deep understanding of the herbs. Di Fei noticed fine scars on the man's fingers, suggesting that he was also skilled in handling medicinal herbs as a warrior.
Next, Di Fei passed by a tailor shop. A woman dressed in light gauzy clothes was carefully sewing garments with skilled and dexterous hands. Her eyes were calm and confident, indicating that her expertise was not limited to tailoring and likely extended to other crafts.
In front of another stall, a young man is displaying exquisite jade pendants and bronze mirrors. His movements are elegant and confident, each gesture carrying a hint of graceful martial arts prowess. He has some weapon models placed around him, evidently indicating that he is also a young martial artist who loves martial arts.
Di Fei did not rush to interact with these people, but quietly observed. These figures and stalls seem to be a part of this world, emitting a unique radiance. He understands that this place is not just a marketplace for material exchange, but also a convergence point for different martial arts sects, where each person has their own story and martial arts.
Di Fei's gaze fell on a stall selling swords. A robed old man was showing off the sword in his hand, his eyes revealing a passion for swordsmanship. Around the stall, there were some practitioners eagerly seeking advice from the old man.
"Young sir, you seem very interested in swordsmanship," the old man said with a smile to Di Fei. His voice carried a hint of kindness and tolerance, evidently a person who enjoyed communication. His eyes were deep, exuding the wisdom of experience.
Di Fei smiled and bowed to the old man, saying, "Yes, elder, I am very interested in swordsmanship. In this world, various martial arts schools have their unique features, and I would like to learn more. I wonder if the elder could give me some advice or guidance?"
The old man, upon hearing Di Fei's words, showed a hint of pleasure between his brows. He caressed the sword in his hand and said, "Young hero, your curiosity and enthusiasm make me feel gratified. In the martial arts world, the exploration of martial arts is endless, and each school has profound principles and techniques. Have you heard of the swordsmanship of Qinglong Sect? This school focuses on the way of the sword, and its practitioners regard the sword as an extension of the mind, seeking the unity of state of mind and sword intent. Their swordsmanship is elegant and pure, far beyond just a skill, but a state of being. If you are interested in swordsmanship, perhaps you can visit Qinglong Sect and learn some sword techniques and mental methods from them."
Di Fei listened with great interest, becoming even more curious about the swordsmanship of Qinglong Sect. Unable to contain himself, he asked, "Senior, are there any other martial arts from different sects worth mentioning?"
The old man smiled slightly and continued, "Of course there are. Crimson Flame Hall, this sect focuses on fire-based skills, integrating the element of fire into their martial arts, creating a unique fighting style. Their techniques are incredibly powerful, as if they embody the messengers of flames. In addition, there is the Seven Star Sword Sect, known for its use of the Big Dipper as a principle, with each disciple representing one of the stars. Their swordsmanship is both fantastical and mysterious, considered to be one of the pinnacles of swordsmanship. Apart from Crimson Flame Hall and Seven Star Sword Sect, there are many more sects waiting for you to explore."
Di Fei listened attentively, his heart filled with a longing for these martial arts sects. The world was so rich and diverse, each sect possessing its own unique style and martial arts, as if an infinite expanse of land and sky awaited him to explore.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will definitely work hard to learn and find the martial arts path that suits me," Di Fei said respectfully.
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "Good young man, you have a good mindset. Remember, the path of martial arts is a long exploration, not only the accumulation of techniques, but also the cultivation of the mind. I hope you can thrive and find your own path in this martial arts world."
Di Fei was full of expectations for the future. He bowed to the old man and then turned away, ready to begin his martial arts journey. His heart was burning with passion for martial arts, and he was determined to constantly explore and grow, becoming a true warrior. And this bustling market was just the starting point of his journey in the martial arts world.
