Chapter 101 The Blind Man's Confidence

Tianxing Ancient City.

Less than two hours before the True Dragon Meet.

Outside Drunken Immortal Tavern, Bei Dou Jiantian was extremely miserable.

It was probably three years ago when Bei Dou Jiantian, as the number one sword dao prodigy of the God Clan, looked down upon the masses. But as a qualified prodigy, Bei Dou Jiantian felt he was still not good enough.

After all, the God Clan had the God King lineage, the Seven Great God Kings, representing the seven supreme clans of the God Clan. So Bei Dou Jiantian began to train himself. A year ago, he defeated the heroes with his sword, almost unstoppable, and no one could withstand three moves from him.

Later, no cultivator in the world at the same realm could withstand even two moves from him, but he was still not satisfied. He hoped to cultivate an unparalleled sword technique that could defeat his enemies in one move.

Under such circumstances, Bei Dou Jiantian's father taught him a truly peerless sword technique. But this sword technique required him to close off his divine sense, unable to see anything, or even hear any sound. He could only hear a tiny bit unless he used special methods.

At first, Bei Dou Jiantian was full of enthusiasm, even feeling that this method could truly temper himself.

But soon the nightmare began.

Unable to see or hear, and most importantly, Bei Dou Jiantian's father also spread the message in the God Clan, forbidding anyone from helping Bei Dou Jiantian.

Then, he kicked Bei Dou Jiantian out of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

To be honest, Bei Dou Jiantian felt that it was really not easy for him to survive until now, because his mana had been suppressed a lot. Although it didn't affect him too much, being unable to see or hear made him a blind and deaf person.

Before, even if it was a Celestial King, Bei Dou Jiantian still had the fighting spirit. Now, not to mention Celestial Kings, he would panic even when encountering a slightly stronger Celestial Venerable.

In the past year, he had escaped death in various ways and was in a miserable state. At first, when he met some people, he could fool them, but later, any cultivator who came into contact with him would receive some warnings.

Over time, no one helped him anymore, not that they didn't want to, but mainly because his father, the Bei Dou Clan Leader, had said that no one was allowed to help him.

Therefore, Bei Dou Jiantian had almost been reduced to living by 'begging'. He felt that this was his darkest moment.

And under Drunken Immortal Tavern.

Li Shanshi noticed Bei Dou Jiantian. He was a little surprised, but he also knew about Bei Dou Jiantian's situation, so he couldn't help but speak.

"May I ask, is this Brother Bei Dou?"

Li Shanshi himself was charitable and liked to make friends. Although the other party was a cultivator of the God Clan, no matter what, he did not show any particular arrogance. So Li Shanshi took the initiative to speak.

But Bei Dou Jiantian couldn't hear what Li Shanshi said. He could only hear a little bit of sound, and not completely.

But he did hear the words Bei Dou.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am a cultivator of the Bei Dou Clan, my father is Bei Dou Chen, I hope fellow Daoist can give me some food."

Bei Dou Jiantian said quickly. He had been hungry for several months and really couldn't stand it anymore.

Cultivators also need to eat, just not frequently. But they also need to eat to replenish their essence, qi, and spirit. Of course, if they don't want to eat, they can refine immortal qi to nourish their bodies. But Bei Dou Jiantian's seal was too miserable, and the speed of refining immortal qi was very slow.

He didn't know where he was. What if he encountered a Celestial Saint great demon while refining and got swallowed directly? Wouldn't that be a great loss?

After much wandering, Bei Dou Jiantian relied on walking for thirty percent of the journey and heaven for seventy percent to arrive at Tianxing Ancient City. But what he didn't expect was that no one was willing to pay attention to him.

This made Bei Dou Jiantian extremely uncomfortable.

"Quickly, invite him in."

Li Shanshi said, asking someone to bring Bei Dou Jiantian up to Drunken Immortal Tavern.

At that moment, in the elegant room, Lu Changsheng and others also noticed this scene.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, this..."

Golden Crow Crown Prince had some opinions on the God Clan, but he didn't say much, just looked at Lu Changsheng to see Lu Changsheng's attitude.

The latter nodded.

Not all members of the God Clan were bad people. This Bei Dou Jiantian didn't seem so bad. It wouldn't hurt to give him a meal.

Soon, Bei Dou Jiantian was placed at the table. The table was full of delicacies, and the rich aroma of the dishes wafted over, causing Bei Dou Jiantian to swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.

But the God Clan was, after all, the God Clan. Losing face was one thing, but there was also a bottom line.

"I am Bei Dou Jiantian, the young clan leader of the Bei Dou God Clan. However, due to some reasons, my divine sense is sealed, and I cannot see or hear your words clearly. So I hope you can speak louder."

Bei Dou Jiantian was quite polite, getting up and bowing towards the front.

"You're welcome."

"Fellow Daoist is too polite."

"Brother Jiantian is too polite."

Everyone spoke, also politely.

However, Bei Dou Jiantian couldn't hear at all. He just finished bowing, carefully turned around, reached out to touch the chair, and then sat down.

"Thank you for not abandoning me. I am a bit hungry. Can you let me eat first before speaking? If you can, please knock on the table."

Bei Dou Jiantian was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. He was indeed extremely hungry.

Bang!

Li Shanshi knocked on the table. Although Bei Dou Jiantian couldn't hear, it didn't mean he couldn't feel the vibration. The table shook, and Bei Dou Jiantian had nothing to say. He started eating directly. However, after picking up the chopsticks for a while, he didn't manage to pick up anything.

But fortunately, there were maids in Drunken Immortal Tavern to pick up dishes for Bei Dou Jiantian.

And Bei Dou Jiantian began to bury his head and eat.

One maid's speed of picking up dishes was not enough, so four maids on the left and right sides were picking up dishes for him.

Bei Dou Jiantian was really hungry. The forty-eight dishes on the table were swept away by him in less than an incense stick of time.

Everyone fell into silence. They couldn't understand Bei Dou Jiantian, but they could see that he had indeed had a very miserable time recently.

After eating his fill, Bei Dou Jiantian let out a long breath. He had an indescribable feeling, a kind of happiness. He had never thought that just being full was so satisfying.

But soon, Bei Dou Jiantian quickly spoke.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I still don't know your honorable names. When I truly achieve complete enlightenment, I will repay today's kindness a hundredfold."

Bei Dou Jiantian said so. He was very serious. Although he didn't know how many people were here, there was definitely more than one. Of course, even if there was only one person, it wouldn't matter if he said 'everyone'.

"I am Golden Crow Crown Prince."

"I am Xingchen Zi."

"I am Champion Marquis."

Everyone spoke subconsciously, but soon fell silent, because they then remembered that Bei Dou Jiantian was not only blind but also deaf.

"I am Li Shanshi, Brother Bei Dou, please don't be so polite. But Brother Bei Dou, what brings you to Tianxing Ancient City?"

Li Shanshi took out a magical artifact and spoke loudly into Bei Dou Jiantian's ear. If Drunken Immortal Tavern hadn't set up formations, this sound would have spread throughout the entire ancient city.

Such a terrifying sound made everyone close off their hearing, otherwise, who could bear it?

"Oh, you're called Li Laoba, your name is really simple and unadorned. Bei Dou Jiantian greets Brother Laoba."

Bei Dou Jiantian got up and bowed in the direction of the sound.

Li Shanshi: "..."

So this Bei Dou Jiantian wasn't deaf, he was hard of hearing!

"It's Li Shanshi!"

Li Shanshi emphasized again.

"Li Laoba, I know, Brother Laoba."

Bei Dou Jiantian was a little confused.

"Not Li Laoba, Li Shanshi."

Li Shanshi said in an even louder voice.

"Oh, oh, oh, Li Wangba? I'm really sorry, I can't hear clearly. Brother Wangba, I've long admired your name, long admired your name."

Bei Dou Jiantian said quickly. Although he didn't know why the other party had taken this name, he had to be polite. When going out, it's always good to speak nicely so as not to cause trouble.

Li Shanshi: "..."

"Forget it, just call me Brother Laoba."

Li Shanshi said. He didn't know what to say. He was quite depressed, but he still emphasized this sentence very strongly.

Hearing the sound, Bei Dou Jiantian was a little dazed. Was it Brother Laoba or Brother Wangba?

Just then, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded.

"May I ask Brother Jiantian, what brings you to Tianxing Ancient City?"

The voice was not very loud. Li Shanshi was about to remind Lu Changsheng that Bei Dou Jiantian was hard of hearing, but he didn't expect Bei Dou Jiantian to answer.

"In reply to fellow Daoist, I came to Tianxing Ancient City because someone within the God Clan summoned jade appraisal experts to face tomorrow's jade appraisal competition, mainly to suppress that Lu Changsheng."

Bei Dou Jiantian said seriously.

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned. First, they were surprised why Bei Dou Jiantian could hear Lu Changsheng so clearly. Second, it was what Bei Dou Jiantian said about suppressing Lu Changsheng.

"Oh, suppressing Lu Changsheng? Then Brother Jiantian, how do you plan to suppress Lu Changsheng?"

Lu Changsheng was not angry, but he was curious to ask Bei Dou Jiantian how he wanted to suppress him.

However, Bei Dou Jiantian immediately shook his head and said, "It's not me suppressing Lu Changsheng, it's the prodigies of the God Clan who want to suppress Lu Changsheng. I have no grievances with Lu Changsheng, why should I actively look for trouble with him?"

Bei Dou Jiantian replied in this way, and everyone nodded slightly. This Bei Dou Jiantian was still quite sensible.

"It's the God Clan internally who wants to suppress Lu Changsheng. In the jade appraisal competition, they even invited three senior generation formation masters from the God Clan. It seems Lu Changsheng will undoubtedly lose unless..."

Bei Dou Jiantian said so.

"Unless what?"

Everyone was curious, and even Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Then, Bei Dou Jiantian smiled confidently and said, "Unless Lu Changsheng comes to me for help, otherwise he will undoubtedly lose."

Bei Dou Jiantian said with utmost seriousness.

Hearing this, everyone was a little silent.

A blind man going to appraise jade? Wasn't this a joke?

"Don't you all disbelieve me. I, Bei Dou Jiantian, am known as the number one jade appraisal master of the God Clan. Moreover, I have a close friend. I'm afraid he has also come to Tianxing Ancient City. If I join forces with him, any stone shop in the world will have to give our two brothers some respect."

Bei Dou Jiantian said seriously, not knowing if it was true or false.

"Then what do you think of this Lu Changsheng?"

Lu Changsheng opened his mouth and continued to ask.

At that moment, Bei Dou Jiantian waved his hand and said, "I haven't been in contact with him, so it's hard to say. But to be able to become number one on the True Dragon Rankings, he must have his strength. I don't know if I can beat him, but one thing I can be sure of."

Bei Dou Jiantian said with an extremely solemn expression.

"That one thing?"

Lu Changsheng was curious.

"When it comes to swordsmanship, I dare not call myself the best. When it comes to jade appraisal, I dare not call myself the best. But when it comes to looks and appearance, Lu Changsheng is probably slightly inferior to me."

Bei Dou Jiantian was extremely confident.

In an instant, everyone was stunned, including Lu Changsheng.

He really didn't expect that this Bei Dou Jiantian was a narcissist.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what is your honorable name?"

Bei Dou Jiantian suddenly realized that he hadn't asked the other party's name yet, so he asked.

"I am Lu Muzhi."

Lu Changsheng thought about it and didn't say his real name.

"Lu Muzhi, what a good name, Brother Muzhi, without further ado, to repay the kindness of this meal, tomorrow at the jade appraisal competition, I will show off a little bit as a gift for everyone! Everyone gets a share, each person gets a celestial stone."

In the area of jade appraisal, Bei Dou Jiantian seemed to have a very strong foundation.

Everyone was silent for a while, thinking about it. They really didn't know what to say, so they could only follow Bei Dou Jiantian's intentions and said a few perfunctory words.

Just like that, as the first ray of sunlight shone into Drunken Immortal Tavern, it dawned.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The bells in the ancient city rang, representing the official start of the True Dragon Meet.

At this moment, Li Shanshi got up and said, "Senior Brother Changsheng, the jade appraisal competition is probably already open. Should we go over now?"

Li Shanshi asked.

Scanning the golden sun outside the window, Lu Changsheng nodded.

He was also very curious about what the so-called jade appraisal competition was like.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, we may have to leave temporarily. People from the sect have arrived, so we have to go over first."

At this time, Xingchen Zi and others spoke, informing Lu Changsheng.

"Okay, let's meet again after the jade appraisal competition ends."

Lu Changsheng nodded. At that moment, Xingchen Zi, Xu Qing, Liu Ruyan, and others left.

In an instant, only Lu Changsheng, Golden Crow Crown Prince, Supreme Xuanji, Ye Rujin, Li Shanshi, Tianji Zi, Peacock King, and Bei Dou Jiantian were left in the elegant room.

Soon, everyone got up, and Bei Dou Jiantian was helped to walk towards the jade appraisal competition.

The jade appraisal competition was set in the northern district market of Tianxing Ancient City, covering an area of three hundred miles, with tens of millions of stone shop stores.

Before going to the northern district market, Li Shanshi explained the rules of the jade appraisal competition and some relevant information to Lu Changsheng along the way.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, this jade appraisal competition is roughly divided into three qualities. The most common quality is ordinary stone shops. The second quality is some celestial stone shops. The highest quality is the holy lands, dynasties, and some extremely famous mining stone shops."

"The higher the quality, the higher the price of the celestial stones in the stone shop. Of course, the price of the celestial stones does not necessarily mean that the ancient stones are good. It all depends on luck. There are many cultivators who cut out treasures from a pile of cheap ancient stones, becoming rich with one cut. But most of the time, they don't cut out anything."

Li Shanshi explained in this way.

Lu Changsheng nodded, but soon couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ancient stones?"

"Yes, ancient stones. To distinguish the names, celestial stones are our hard currency, and ancient stones are ancient celestial stones that can be cut out of treasures."

Li Shanshi explained.

But at that moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Brother Jiantian!"

Hearing the sound, a tall and strong man appeared in front of everyone.
