Lou Mu Yan had already read the files in the Imperial Library before coming to the competition space, but it hardly mentioned anything about the secrets of the Continent.
Yan’zhou Kingdom may be considered a medium-sized kingdom compared to its surrounding areas but compared to the participating kingdoms in the competition space, it was like the difference between a large rock and a speck of gravel.
Any few Sword Venerable Elders from any superpower kingdom could destroy Lou Mu Yan’s kingdom easily, which made her sense of danger stronger and stronger.
In order to keep the Lou Clan standing, she must continue to become stronger. Even the Lou Clan needs to be transformed into an iron wall so that people couldn’t take advantage of it.
“The Land of Inheritance is a very mysterious place. It’s opened once every hundred years by the Six Major Sects and several top forces in the Continent jointly opening up a channel for the pupils to enter.” Si Nan introduced.
Lou Mu Yan thought a bit and asked: “Is it a fixed time every one hundred years? Do they open a passage just for the pupils to enter?”
When Si Nan and the others heard her questions, they all subconsciously felt a sense of appreciation in their hearts. She really had a clever mind and could take the initiative to grasp the key details in a simple introduction.
“The opening time of the Land of Inheritance is actually not fixed. It’s just that every hundred years, there will be a period when the Restriction outside is at its weakest. The Six Major Sects and several top forces use that time to open up channels.
“And only allowing pupils to enter is because there’s no other way. The Inheritance space can only accommodate Sword Masters who have a cultivation base below Sword Saint. If a Sword Saint powerhouse or above entered the Land of Inheritance, they would be killed by a space storm that suddenly appears or would be spontaneously teleported out.” Si Nan continued.
Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t the auctioneer just say that the Earth Rank Sword Skill was found in the Inheritance Space by a Sword Saint powerhouse, why can he enter?”
“That was two hundred years ago. After the last opening of the Land of Inheritance, Sword Saint cultivation base powerhouses were unable to set foot in there. It’s said that the endurance of that space has reached its limit and is on the verge of collapse.”
Yan Jun interjected: “If a Sword Saint powerhouse forcibly enters and fights in the space, then it will cause the space to be destroyed and collapse instantly. The Land of Inheritance may never be opened again in the future, so the Six Major Sects and several top forces don’t dare take that risk, and are also reluctant to sacrifice Sword Saint powerhouses.”
“What good things are in the Land of Inheritance? Is it a Secret Realm?” Lou Mu Yan was obviously more interested in what was inside.
Ji Xuan smiled, “The most attractive thing about the Land of Inheritance is the inheritance. It’s said that the space began to develop in the Ancient Times. After every high-level Sword Saint and Sword Deity level powerhouses die, as long as their consciousness condenses a will, they will leave an Inheritance Hall in the Inheritance Space, and use a wisp of their Divine Soul to preserve their life’s skills or special techniques to pass on to those who are destined.”
“There are also Sword Saints or Sword Deity level powerhouses who will choose to go to the Inheritance Space to build an Inheritance Hall when they have no hope of breaking through. There are manuals and Magic Tools from their entire lives placed in there, just for someone to find it and continue their legacy.” Luo Ye added.
“So that’s how it is.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were filled with interest. She might have to go and take a look when she had the chance.
While the several people were discussing, the auction was also proceeding fiercely, and the Earth Rank cultivation method was already up to twenty thousand Spiritual Stones.
“You don’t want to bid?” Lou Mu Yan asked Si Nan and the others.
If she remembered correctly, Si Nan and Ji Xuan both cultivated the ice attribute Elemental Law.
“There are some flaws in this Earth Rank method. Those who know generally won’t bid for it.” Si Nan whispered.
Lou Mu Yan looked at him and asked curiously, “How do you know? What flaw?”
“This manual was auctioned once, more than a decade ago. It was won by a genius Sword Sovereign, but because the will in the Sword Skill has the disadvantage of devouring Mental Energy, the possibility of that Sword Sovereign advancing to Sword Venerable was destroyed.” Si Nan said with slight pity.
Observing the people around them who were bidding, one could see that there wasn’t a single Sword Master from a superpower kingdom. Although this was a secret matter but there were still many people who knew it. After all, things that came from the Land of Inheritance were rare.
They were not unmoved, but they didn’t dare to gamble their future on a Sword Skill.
Lou Mu Yan observed her surroundings and also found the problem. There was interest in her eyes. The will of the Sword Skill that could devour Mental Energy? Interesting.
“This Sword Master has bid twenty thousand Spiritual Stones, is there anyone else who will bid higher?” Leng Yi scanned the people who sat below and said with a smile: “I will count to three. If no one bids, then this Sword Skill will belong to this friend.”
“One, two—” When Leng Yi was about to call ‘three’, a lazy and clear female voice suddenly sounded.
“Thirty thousand Spiritual Stones.”
Si Nan and Ji Xuan looked at Lou Mu Yan as if they didn’t know her, “Are you crazy?”
“Lou Mu Yan, Si Nan just told you about the flaw of that Sword Skill. Thirty thousand Spiritual Stones isn’t worth it.” Luo Li didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to bid even when she knew that the Sword Skill had a problem, so he persuaded.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyebrows were beautiful and there was an unrestrained smile on her face, “No worries, I’ve got a lot of money, and if I don’t use it, I’ll feel uneasy.”
“…” The several people rolled their eyes inwardly. What sort of reason was that?
“Forty thousand.” Obviously, the previous Sword Master was also very interested in this Sword Skill.
Lou Mu Yan ignored the gaze of the several people who wanted to stop her and continued to bid: “Fifty thousand.”
The Sword Master revealed a bit of displeasure, then finally sighed and stopped bidding. Fifty thousand already exceeded his expectations.
“Lou Mu Yan, if you’ve really got too much money that you feel uneasy, we can help you use it. Using it to buy this flawed manual, be careful not to ‘lose your army on top of losing your wife’.” Si Nan couldn’t resist but say.
This woman was really not a normal person, ‘knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, yet still walking towards the mountains with tigers’.
“Can’t I buy it to be a desk pad?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, with an expression as if saying ‘lao’niang has money with nowhere so spend, so I’m happy to buy’.
Si Nan took a deep breath and turned his head to the side, otherwise he was afraid that he couldn’t resist strangling her to death.
Lou Mu Yan was a woman that made people both love and hate, and no one could compare to how she angered people.
Ji Xuan and the others couldn’t help twitching their lips when they saw her expression as if saying ‘I’ve got money’ that was looking for a beating. They won’t bother with her. She couldn’t be looked at with gazes when looking at a normal person.
In the end, Lou Mu Yan won the Earth Rank Sword Skill at the price of fifty thousand Spiritual Stones, which made many Sword Masters pay more attention to her.
“Lou Mu Yan, after you get the Sword Skill, don’t research too deeply into it. I’ve heard that this Sword Skill is very insidious, and has already rotated through many Owners.” Luo Ye knew that Lou Mu Yan would never do things without reason. He naturally wouldn’t believe the excuse she said about having too much money and feeling uneasy about it, but he still couldn’t resist but remind her.
With such excellent, Heaven-defying talent, it would really be a pity if she was really compromised by this Skill.
“Thank you for your caution, I understand.” Lou Mu Yan replied with a smile.
It was precisely because this Sword Skill had flaws and was insidious that she bid for it, otherwise why would she spend fifty thousand Spiritual Stones to bid for an Earth Rank Sword Skill.
Of course, it was naturally impossible for her to announce her ideas to the others. After all, she hadn’t even studied this insidious Sword Skill yet.
She won the Sword Skill purely out of interest and curiosity.
“You are an unreasonable woman.” Luo Li glared at her.
Lou Mu Yan smiled and said in a way that made her look as if she was seeking a beating: “What can I do, I’ve got a lot of money.”
…
The several people gritted their teeth, but also had to admit that Lou Mu Yan was indeed the person with the most Spiritual Stones among them.
