Chapter 78 Bai Chenxiang Yearns for Chang'an? Various Soul Beasts Attack!
"Xiangxiang, you're just being ridiculous."
A hint of helplessness appeared in Bai He's eyes as he looked at Bai Chenxiang:
"Ye Han is the lord of Chang'an City. Your desire to become his disciple is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Bai Chenxiang's delicate cheeks flushed red after hearing this.
"Hmph, it was you, Grandpa, who first said you wanted me to become Li Bai's disciple. Do you think that makes it possible for me to become his disciple?"
"Rumors say that one must offer a divine object to visit Chang'an. Do we have one? We can't even get into Chang'an, let alone become its disciples!"
The white crane stroked its white beard, its tone carrying a hint of confidence:
"I'm not sure if I can help you become an apprentice, but I'm quite confident that you can visit Chang'an. Don't forget the treasure I've kept for many years."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang was taken aback, but quickly remembered something:
"Grandpa, are you referring to the 'Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng'? But that's not a divine object. To think you can visit Chang'an with just that is a bit of a pipe dream, isn't it?"
The shrewd and calculating white crane had already seen through some of the tricks, yet remained confident:
"According to ancient records, my immortal herb is extremely special, and there is only one of its kind in the world. I guess the 'Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye' probably doesn't produce it either, and Chang'an might very well be tempted."
Bai Chenxiang crossed her arms and glanced away.
"You've paid a visit, but then what? You can't be sure they'll agree to take me as a disciple. You'd be heartbroken to give me away for nothing!"
The white crane was taken aback by what was said, coughed a few times, and then firmly replied:
"Cough cough, how will you know if you don't try? After the Heavenly Curtain is revealed, Grandpa will take you there. It won't be a loss to let this immortal herb broaden your horizons!"
Listening to her grandfather's words, Bai Chenxiang felt a faint sense of anticipation rising in her heart.
The Min clan was abandoned by the Haotian Sect and persecuted by the Spirit Hall, gradually declining.
She wanted to become stronger and lead her family to rise again, but she was limited by her weak martial spirit.
If only we could get help from Chang'an!
...
Chang'an City.
Tavern - Drunken Immortal Abode.
"Drink today, for tomorrow we die!"
"Haha, I hope I stay drunk forever and never wake up~"
Li Bai leaned against the window of the tavern, drinking wine from a jug, thoroughly enjoying himself.
A few drops of wine swayed out of the pot and landed on the bluestone pavement, spreading out as faint wine stains.
"Enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow you may die."
"The cries of monkeys on both banks could not stop the light boat from passing through ten thousand mountains."
"Enjoy a cup of wine while you're alive; why seek fame for a thousand years after death?"
"When I rise from my secluded life on Mount Dongshan, it is not too late to help the common people."
"The moon over Mount Emei is half-full in autumn, its reflection flowing in the Pingqiang River."
A few lines of poetry, tinged with the aroma of wine, would occasionally spill from his throat.
Every sentence drew sidelong glances and applause from several drinkers at the neighboring table.
"Great! Great poem!!"
"What refined taste!!"
"Li Jianxian, let's have a go!"
A scholar at the next table, dressed in a brocade robe, raised his cup, his eyes filled with admiration.
Li Bai tilted his head back and took another sip, the wine sliding down his lips. He then raised the wine pot and clinked it against the ground.
"Let's drink! Don't stop drinking! Cheers!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud bang was heard outside:
"Boom—!"
A few people by the window of the tavern glanced around and their eyes suddenly lit up:
"Hey, guess what?"
"Li Jianxian made the list, ranking in the top five!!"
"The renowned Sword Immortal, the number one swordsman under heaven, truly deserves the title!"
In an instant, a heated discussion erupted in the tavern.
Li Bai, however, simply tilted his head back and drank his wine, his face displaying complete nonchalance.
"Rankings are nothing compared to the joy of having a sword in hand and wine in hand!"
The next second, a golden light shot down from the sky and precisely enveloped him.
Li Bai was already a peerless powerhouse at level ninety-nine, and the next level up solidified his soul power!
Originally, the spirit rings were six black and three red, but after the upgrade, they jumped directly to four black and five red!
Then, a top-grade treasure appeared in his hand: a red longsword.
"Superior Treasure - Devourer of Greed: Carrying or absorbing it permanently increases physical attack by 20%, movement speed by 5%, and reduces skill cooldown/cast time by 5%. Passive - Hunting Reward [Killing an enemy target increases your physical attack by 0.1% and cooldown reduction by 0.05, stacking up to 250 times]!"
In addition, fragments of the exclusive divine equipment 'Shattered Moon Sword Heart' were integrated into the Sea of Spirit.
"The sword of the great river descends from the heavens!"
As Li Bai felt the immense power within him, a glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
With a flick of his right hand, the three-foot-long phoenix sword was suddenly drawn, its gleaming sound like the clear cry of a phoenix.
With a light touch of her toes on the pearwood wooden table, she moved with the grace of a startled swan to the central table in the tavern.
"Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your homeland, roam the four seas to find your mate!"
Li Bai tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of wine, then began to wield the Green Lotus Sword, each move accompanied by a sip of wine.
As the sword light flowed, the Azure Lotus Sword Techniques, imbued with the rich aroma of wine and sharp sword energy, intertwined to form a dazzling curtain of light within the tavern.
"Excellent! Excellent sword! Excellent poem!!!"
The cheers inside the tavern were so loud they almost lifted the roof off.
Li Bai was engrossed in his sword dance when the wine jug quietly emptied.
He raised an eyebrow, but his long sword did not stop. He turned and twisted his wrist, and the tip of the sword accurately picked up the still full pot of Daughter's Red wine in front of the patron at the next table.
The wine jug traced a smooth arc in the air, its spout pointing downwards, and the clear, cool wine poured down like silver threads, landing precisely in Li Bai's slightly open mouth.
"Gurgle~"
With a gulp, the wine entered his throat, and a burning sensation swept through Li Bai's entire body, causing his swordplay to suddenly become three times more ferocious!
"Good wine! More, please!"
"What arises from causes and conditions? What ends with causes and conditions? Let us ask these questions with the song of the sword!"
...
Behind the City Lord's Mansion in Chang'an City.
"Li Bai was a master of both poetry and swordsmanship, and was also known for his love of wine and unrestrained behavior."
"It certainly deserves the opportunity to be in the top five of the list."
Ye Han looked at the content displayed on the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The next moment, a golden ball of light descended, transforming into a pair of brown shoes:
"Superior-grade Treasure - Shadow Ninja Boots: Wearing or absorbing them permanently increases physical attack by 10%, magic defense by 5%, and movement speed by 10%. Passive - Protection [Reduces physical damage taken by 6%~12%]!"
"That's right, this is a godsend for countering physical burst heroes!"
Ye Han accepted them with satisfaction. There were four pairs in total now. He only needed two more pairs to complete his collection of six shoes.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the soul beasts are about to arrive! The trials for the magical beasts have been arranged!"
Suddenly, Li Xin's communication interrupted Ye Han's thoughts.
Ye Han decisively activated his 'Universal Divine Sense' domain, a playful glint in his eyes:
"Let me see what brings these soul beasts here, and whether they have the ability to see me."
...
Chang'an City.
The Great Wall stretches for a hundred miles, outside the East Gate.
A chubby, fair-skinned boy ran over excitedly.
He was none other than the Icefield Bear King, Little White, who had temporarily transformed into human form!
"Entry to Chang'an is forbidden to outsiders!"
A clear, resonant shout, like the roar of a dragon, rang out once more, its echo reverberating across the land.
"I am General Kai, the Eastern General of the Great Wall! Who goes below the city walls?!"
Xiao Bai looked in the direction of the sound, and the moment their eyes met, she instinctively felt a sense of fear.
This person is very strong, even stronger than Aunt Bing, and may even be close to Mother Snow Empress!
But remembering his mother's instructions, and in order to help Aunt Bing break through, he still stepped forward!
