  Recommended collection oh~~~~ All book friends, please support Xiao Shui's ranking.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Yang Tian asked, after getting the money, he stayed at this inn where all sorts of people gathered. Every day, except for practicing his internal energy at night, he would sit at a table by the window on the second floor, drinking tea and eating snacks. A big bowl of braised pork, which Xiao Bai had recently developed a taste for, was placed in front of him, and he lay on the table, savoring it with relish.

  Is this boring? Of course not, Yang Tian asked if he was listening with his ears! With Yang Tian's hearing ability, the conversations of all guests upstairs and downstairs could be heard clearly. Every day, it was like listening to a storyteller telling Jianghu rumors, such as aristocratic families, martial arts schools, lone heroes, Jianghu outlaws, and forest bandits. For Yang Tian, this was fresh and interesting news. Of course, Yang Tian also didn't forget to find some clues from these rumors, but to be honest, it was really difficult!

  Mr. Li did not elaborate on his grandson's name or characteristics before he passed away, making it even more difficult to find him than a needle in the ocean. Yang Tian thought that everything would work out naturally, and since he had entered the Qi Refining stage, breaking through would require a lot of time to accumulate and refine his internal true energy. During this period, he would search for Mr. Li's grandson while also searching for a way to enter the Cultivation Realm. The compass grandfather indicated that he should head north, entering this mundane world must have its own profound meaning.

  Here is the translation:

  Hearing some rumors in Jianghu, of course, you can't help but hear about the ranking of some martial arts masters. What's the difference between post-heavenly third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, post-heavenly peak, and pre-heavenly master? Yang Tian didn't know how powerful he was during his Qi-refining period, but it seemed like he had already reached the level of a pre-heavenly master. He shouldn't be weaker than a pre-heavenly master, right? And after listening for so long, it seems that pre-heavenly masters are very rare. It's as if someone of his age who is a pre-heavenly master is a genius among geniuses.

  However, Yang Tianwen soon became depressed again. It seemed that he was practicing the Xiu Zhen Gong Fa, but Luo Pan's grandfather said that this was still the Tai Gu Lian Qi Fa Men, which was quite impressive. He had been cultivating for nearly ten years and had only reached the Xian Tian realm. Wasn't he a bit too stupid? Yang Tianwen thought to himself.

  Xiaobai was also listening, but with a look of disdain on his face, as if he were listening to a joke for entertainment.

  Yang Tian asked this kid who was daydreaming, but didn't know why, his mood and inner heart were not disturbed at all.

  Another day passed, Yang Tianwen woke up from his meditation with a happy face. Every day, he could clearly feel that the true energy in his body had become stronger by a fraction. He believed that if this continued, it wouldn't take long before he could enter the Refining Qi stage. Yang Tianwen specially organized the materials he had heard over the past few days.

  The secular world is divided into three countries, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms has continued for nearly a thousand years. It seems that the three kingdoms are relatively restrained from each other and are in a state of peace, which will continue this situation. The mainland's martial arts atmosphere is very strong, which is inseparable from the mainland's pattern. Although there are no major wars between the three countries, small actions are inevitable. As for the mainland's national government, Yang Tianwen is not very interested and just needs to understand it a little bit.

  What they heard most in the inn were still rumors about the Jianghu Wulin, but just rumors, why? Because the people sitting in the inn were still too weak. Of course, it was weak enough in Yang Tianwen's eyes, if Yang Tianwen was placed on the level of a pre-heavenly expert, then these people would probably be ranked at the third-rate standard, or even not qualified for the third-rate. What else did they hear about specific things?

  However, the general framework can still be heard, in short, it is the ranking of the martial arts families or famous schools and large gangs between the three countries. The vision of these people is not too low, there is no substantial content, and it is really impossible to sort out.

  Yang Tianwen didn't insist, and in recent days, he not only listened but also deliberately carried a sword around the city, aimlessly wandering, which can be considered as passively searching for Li Dage's grandson.

  Today is the day Yang Tianwen leaves. This place is indeed not small, but it's too remote and can't get in touch with the real martial arts world at all. Why did Yang Tianwen's gaze fall on the martial arts world? Maybe it was a kind of intuition or reasoning. Li Dage gave him a long sword with holes in the hilt, which didn't look like the style used by the military at all. So there is only one possibility: Li Dage might have been a person from the martial arts world before, and for some unknown reason, he hid in a small village. To find his grandson, Yang Tianwen can only get in touch with the real martial arts world.

  Yang Tianwen was also somewhat excited. Would this rumored martial arts world really be as thrilling and heroic as it was portrayed on TV?

  Yang Tianwen left Nanqiu and headed towards the Central Plains. Along the way, Yang Tianwen's excitement had decreased a lot, not because he was someone who got bored easily, but because he thought to himself that he was after all a cultivator, what was there to be proud of in the martial arts world?

  Yang Tianwen's journey was not fast, it could be said to be very slow. If he were to hurry, three months would have been enough, but Yang Tianwen walked slowly and stopped frequently, stopping to study the compass, playing with Little White, and eating a few big meals. It took him an entire year to finally set foot in the Central Plains.

  This place was within the range of about 10,000 miles from the intersection of the Three Kingdoms, and it was also a gathering place for people from the martial arts world. Various sects and families had intertwined relationships and interests here. This place was on the border of the Three Kingdoms, but it was located in a relatively central region of the continent.

  The political centers of each country were far away from here, and the emperor was distant, so this place was like a country within a country, except that no one managed it. The three kingdoms were Southern Shu, Northern Ming, and Eastern Dragon. The national strength of the three kingdoms was not much different, and they had intermarried and interacted with each other, with intertwined interests.

  Although it is a border area of various countries, no one looks down on this place because it can be said that it is the famous Golden Nest of the mainland. Not only do people from the martial arts world gather here, but also some young masters and ladies from aristocratic families come here to gain experience. In short, this place has all sorts of human scenery.

  Yang Tianwen is still a commoner at heart, and he doesn't understand the luxury of those in power. With many mouths speaking, there are also many messages, Yang Tianwen naturally likes to listen and think more. All of this is information gathered along the way. To be honest, Yang Tianwen doesn't like it here because it's too noisy, too chaotic, and too complicated. Yang Tianwen just can't understand why the rulers of these three countries are so indulgent towards this place. As someone who lived in 21st century Earth, he still prefers a society with order and rules.
