137: Free quota

I never imagined that the founder of Zhu Feng City had such an experience!

Shen Xi couldn't help but be secretly astonished.

Although he had never met the other party, just hearing about his experiences filled him with admiration.

From a young age, his Family declined, and the Secluded Factions he belonged to were annihilated.

It sounds simple, but the hardships involved are imaginable.

The founder of Zhu Feng City must have gone through countless life-and-death struggles; after all, the Secluded Factions that destroyed his Family certainly wouldn't leave behind a hidden danger and would hunt him across the world, determined to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

Under such circumstances, the other party still survived and rose to become a Detachment Realm expert; the dangers he experienced are hard to describe in words.

Not only that, but the other party did not wallow in hatred.

After growing up and avenging himself, he had the world in his heart, protecting the common people slaughtered by Yao Beasts and founding Zhu Feng City.

His achievements in this regard are worthy of Shen Xi's heartfelt admiration.

"Yes, after protecting the innocent people slaughtered by Yao Beasts, the founder of Zhu Feng City established the prototype of Zhu Feng City."

"Not only that, he also left a Legacy, which is located in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm."

"If a Sword Cultivator of extraordinary talent enters the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, he might obtain the Wind Chasing Swordplay, which is said to be a Profound Grade Martial Arts."

Liu Piaoling opened the floodgates of conversation, pouring out everything he knew.

Hearing this, Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi both gasped.

Profound Grade Martial Arts—just these four words were priceless.

One must know that the Martial Arts commonly circulated on the market are only of the Unranked, Acquired, and Innate grades; even those in high positions, whose status reached that of a Federal Safety City Lord, generally Cultivated Innate Martial Arts.

Only a select few powerful individuals with great Luck might obtain Yellow Grade Martial Arts, and most of these are Low Grade Yellow Grade Martial Arts.

Even a Genius like Liu Yiyi, who came from Secluded Factions, could only Cultivate Yellow Grade Martial Arts, with the highest not exceeding Peak Yellow Grade.

As for Profound Grade Martial Arts, even within Secluded Factions, they are a Family's Legacy, only accessible to the successor of the Faction who has broken through to the Dian Ling Realm.

Yet, there was a Profound Grade Martial Arts in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm; how could this not surprise the two of them?

Even if it were Low Grade Profound, it would still drive Secluded Factions mad enough to personally fight for it.

"What Profound Grade Martial Arts signifies, I presume you both understand perfectly; it is a treasure that can make even Secluded Factions restless and personally contend for."

"However, due to the restrictions of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, even if Secluded Factions are keen to seize it, they dare not act rashly. Because of this, the Wind Chasing Swordplay still quietly rests within the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, awaiting its fated person."

"Soon, it will be time for the Chasing Wind Secret Realm's once-a-decade opening. This is the only Opportunity to contend for the Wind Chasing Swordplay. At that time, not only will Zhu Feng City send its younger generation of experts into the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, but several nearby cities like the Twenty-eighth City, Thirty-first City, and Forty-second City will also enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm."

"Even..."

At this point, Liu Piaoling paused, glanced at Liu Yiyi, and then continued: "Even, because it coincides with the special period of the new generation's successor competition among Secluded Factions, some Secluded Factions that have received the news will also send their young talents to Zhu Feng City."

The Wind Chasing Swordplay had long been renowned throughout the world.

Every Faction desired to obtain this swordplay.

Even Secluded Factions were no exception; this was an Opportunity to increase a Faction's foundation.

Because of this, when the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opens, a fierce Dragon-Tiger battle is bound to erupt.

Genius from Federal Safety City and prodigies from Secluded Factions will all flock to Zhu Feng City.

"It is also because of the preciousness of the Wind Chasing Swordplay that Zhu Feng City naturally cannot monopolize the Chasing Wind Secret Realm. After hundreds of years of competition, various Factions have divided the quotas for entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm. Currently, I have three quotas and am willing to offer two to the two of you."

Liu Piaoling finally revealed his intentions.

As the Speaker of the Senate, he also obtained three quotas to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, and he wanted to give two to Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi.

"What do you need us to do?"

When it came to business, Liu Yiyi also became serious.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; even if the three of them had a good relationship, it wasn't good enough for Liu Piaoling to give away such precious quotas.

To put it bluntly, even if Liu Piaoling transferred his quotas to others, he could still gain many benefits from it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Liu has a grandson, about our age?"

Shen Xi asked with a smile, guessing Liu Piaoling's intentions.

"Younger Brother Shen is truly a Dragon among men; with one word, he saw through this old man's thoughts."

Liu Piaoling also didn't hide anything and admitted it with a smile.

There were quite a few restrictions on entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

First, one's age could not exceed thirty.

Second, one's Cultivation could not exceed the Acquired Realm.

These two rules directly prevented seasoned experts like Liu Piaoling from entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

This meant that if they wanted to obtain the Legacy of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, they could only pin their hopes on the younger generation.

The competition for the Legacy of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm was, in essence, a competition among the younger generation.

Therefore, the Chasing Wind Secret Realm was fraught with danger, not only from the inherent dangers within the Secret Realm but also from the dangers brought by the younger generation of other Factions.

So, even seasoned experts like Liu Piaoling, who had several quotas, had to carefully choose whom to give them to.

Giving them to one's own Junior was naturally the best, but not everyone had so many Juniors, nor did every Junior possess the strength to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm and contend for Opportunities.

Insufficient strength would only lead to certain death.

Liu Piaoling was currently in this predicament; among his descendants, many met the conditions to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, but only his eldest grandson, Liu Linsheng, possessed sufficiently powerful strength.

Besides him, giving quotas to his other descendants would only be sending them to their deaths.

Originally, Liu Piaoling considered selling two quotas to others, using this Opportunity to form an Alliance, so that his eldest grandson would not be isolated and helpless in the Secret Realm.

But after meeting Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi, he changed his mind.

On one hand, both of them were strong enough to protect themselves even in the Secret Realm.

On the other hand, their character was also impeccable, and he didn't have to worry about them turning against each other over an Opportunity, or even harming his grandson.

After all, in the world of Martial Artist, even the best of friends can be unreliable, and backstabbing for a mere Opportunity is all too common.
