Liangshan County, Yuanhe Martial Arts Hall.
The candlelight was bright in the huge courtyard, and the disciples in gray and black practice uniforms were looking at the group of people at the gate with unkind eyes.
They wore snow-white robes with sword-shaped patterns on their chests. Each of them exuded a sharp aura, like a sharp sword.
There are three major local forces in Liangshan County, namely the White Tiger Gang, Yuanhe Martial Arts School and Yushan Sword Sect. These are the people of Yushan Sword Sect at the moment.
Among the three major forces, the White Tiger Gang is the strongest, followed by the Yushan Sword Sect, and Yuanhe Martial Arts School is at the bottom.
Liang Fugui was sitting in the lobby, looking at the two white-robed men below him with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "We are going to assist the Zhigui Division, what do you mean by the Yushan Sword Sect?"
Previously, he noticed a red light erupting in the Babao Tower and knew that someone was performing a ceremony. In order to avoid causing too much damage, he planned to gather his disciples to help.
Unexpectedly, someone sent by Yushan Sword blocked all his disciples in the courtyard without telling them the reason. They were not allowed to leave the martial arts hall anyway.
"Master Liang, please be patient. I believe that Secretary Zhigui can solve the problem quickly." The speaker was an old man with rosacea and some gray hair.
There was a smile on his lips, "I'm here this time because I want to discuss this year's Sanyuan Festival with the owner."
"You don't have to come late at night if you want to discuss it." Liang Fugui snorted coldly. This person's name is Zhou Shoujian, and he is the third elder of the Yushan Sword Sect. The person next to him is the second elder Xu Yuanshou.
If he had not been able to defeat these two men, Liang Fugui would have become violent.
He tapped his fingertips on the table and looked at the two elders, "Looking at your actions tonight, are you planning to fight against the court for the people behind the scenes?"
"Master Liang is serious, we are just here for a visit." The third elder narrowed his eyes, "However, I would also like to remind Master Liang here that things are going to change."
Liang Fugui's pupils shrank and he stood up suddenly.
At this moment, a white-robed disciple ran in, leaned over and said something to the third elder.
He seemed very surprised, frowned and asked, "You have seen clearly, that person really has such strength?"
The disciple nodded, and the third elder's expression changed continuously. He suddenly stood up and cupped his hands towards Liang Fugui, "Master Liang, take your leave."
The group of people left Yuanhe Martial Arts Hall as quickly as they came.
Liang Fugui's eyes changed, and he suddenly sat back on his chair and took a sip of tea unconsciously, "The Yushan Sword Sect has switched sides. Things are really going to change in Liangshan County."
…
In the early morning, the sun breaks through the clouds.
Lu Chen turned around, locked the door, and walked along the sparkling Qingbo River towards Songji at the end of the street.
Last night, Commander Cheng promised him that he would give him the reward for this mission today, saying that there were two important things.
This made Lu Chen look forward to it even more, wondering what kind of reward he would get?
As we walked along the street, there were gradually more and more people, most of them talking about what happened at Babaolou last night.
"Did you see the movement last night?"
"The sky is filled with red light. I'm not blind. I heard that many people died."
"The Eight Treasures Building was demolished. It was said that there was a cult monster causing trouble, and they were beaten very fiercely."
"They are all saying that it was a member of the Zhigui Division who killed the evil cult monster and saved many people."
The aunt at the street restaurant was having a discussion. While greeting business, she sighed, "In this world, you think it would be great if I had a son like that."
"Have a sweet dream, we are not so lucky for a person of that level." The aunt next to me joked: "And such a powerful person might be older than you."
Just as he was talking, he saw a figure wearing the uniform of the Zhiguai Division, slowly turning around the street. Auntie asked quickly: "Brother Lu, you are also from the Zhiguai Division. You were not on duty last night."
When the aunt saw his clothes, she was thinking about getting a son-in-law from Zhiguai Si, maybe her daughter would be so lucky.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen shook his head and yawned, "It's good to go, the past is over."
Auntie suddenly stopped talking. Brother Lu is good-looking, but his abilities are too low to be a suitable son-in-law.
Lu Chen came to Songji as usual and bought soy milk and fried dough sticks. He was about to pay when he heard the boss smile and say: "Brother Lu, you worked hard last night, so I'll treat you today."
Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
All the way to Zhiguisi, the courtyard was devastated. Even the eaves of the lobby were smashed, all the courtyard walls collapsed, and there were half-meter-deep ravines on the ground.
After passing through the collapsed gate, there were a few team members standing scattered inside. When they saw Lu Shen's figure, they immediately shouted excitedly.
"Good morning, road team."
"Road team, you worked hard last night, why don't you take a rest?"
Because of the battle last night, many team members were injured, so except for the team members on duty, most of them are still recovering at home.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded in response, walking around the courtyard and walking deeper. He made an appointment with Commander Cheng to meet at Wenxintang.
Wenxintang is located in the center of Zhiguisi. It is a quaint small building with a bluestone-paved path that leads directly to the stone steps of the entrance gate.
When Lu Chen arrived at the Wenxin Hall, Commander Cheng was already waiting inside. In the center of the lobby, there was an old plaque hanging, which read "Wenxin Hall".
"Commander Cheng." Lu Chen crossed the threshold and cupped his hands.
"No need to be polite. After today, you and I will be considered colleagues." Commander Cheng smiled slightly, his eyes full of admiration. The young man did not change his attitude due to his improved strength.
He had seen too many young talents, and after gaining some strength, he would inevitably become arrogant, but Lu Chen did not, he was as calm as ever.
He pointed to the futon on the ground, "Sit down first."
Lu Chen nodded, sat cross-legged on the futon, and asked, "What do you mean, Commander Cheng?"
"I have already reported to Fucheng regarding your appointment as deputy commander. The results will be available within three days."
Cheng Bai took out a few things and lined them up in front of the futon, "With your current strength and your wonderful previous resume, there won't be any big problems with the position of deputy commander."
"These are the rewards that I can win for you within my capabilities."
Arranged from left to right in front of the futon are a purple wooden box, a scroll of withered yellow exercises, and finally a document stamped with a fire seal.
Commander Cheng didn't wait for Shen to ask. He pointed at the wooden box and said, "I'll tell you one by one. What's in this wooden box is the source of the sixth level of bloodline realm, with a total weight of six taels."
Listening to his introduction, Lu Chen stared at the source material, his heart a little hot. I wonder how many source seeds the sixth level of bloodline realm can provide me?
He pointed to the second withered yellow scroll and said: "This is a practice method specially prepared for you, called the Liuhe Hunyuan Scroll, which can help you develop the power of your bloodline."
Listening to his introduction, Lu Chen was a little confused, "I don't have alien blood, Commander Cheng, you should know that."
"It can be said that a person who practices martial arts to your level is only one in a hundred thousand, but it is not impossible." Commander Cheng nodded, indicating that he knew.
"But martial arts has its limits after all."
"The so-called alien bloodline refers to the purity of a certain kind of blood. What we mean is that it does not have alien bloodline. What we actually mean is that the purity of the bloodline is insufficient and cannot reach the level of nourishment and opening of veins."
Commander Cheng paused, as if he was not used to saying so many words, "And this Liuhe Hunyuan Scroll is exactly the technique suitable for ordinary people to develop their bloodlines."
Lu Chen looked at the withered yellow scroll and wondered, "What are the characteristics of this technique?"
Commander Cheng introduced: "Generally, when foreigners practice martial arts, they will choose a specific direction to develop, such as Ding Yu's Wind and Thunder Scroll and my Mysterious Water Scroll, but this technique is different."
"The focus of this Liuhe Hunyuan Scroll is to develop the bloodline in all directions. He can use it in any direction, but it is not as proficient in a single technique, and it is extremely difficult to improve the cultivation level."
"However, if you can cultivate it to the bloodline realm, then you will be invincible in the same realm. After all, the enemy only knows a single technique. You can not only imitate the opponent's technique, but also use techniques to restrain the opponent. "
Listening to his introduction, Lu Chen finally understood that if he could master this skill, he would be a hexagonal warrior without any shortcomings.
The biggest problem is that it's all-inclusive, which means it doesn't stand out.
"This technique is quite special in the department, and it took me some effort to apply for the transcript." Commander Cheng seemed to see Lu Chen's worry, "I will give you this technique, and the focus is on developing the power of blood.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. As long as you can develop a bloodline, you can switch to other techniques. This is the better way I can think of."
He thought for a while and comforted: "After all, the limit that martial arts can reach is the realm of Taoism."
The so-called Taoist realm refers to the realm above the bloodline realm. One can use the power of bloodline to use various spells. In this realm, fighting methods will become endless.
After introducing the Liuhe Hunyuan Scroll, he looked at the last document and his expression became much more serious, "The last one is the assessment document from Fucheng Tianji Academy."
There were thirty-six prefectures in the Qian Dynasty, and Liangshan County was under the rule of Qinghe Prefecture... Lu Chen recalled the relevant information and asked, "What does Commander Cheng mean?"
"This Tianji Academy is the superior organization of the Zhiguai Department and is under the direct control of the Holy Emperor. If you can get into it, you may even have the opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital and meet the Emperor in the future."
Commander Cheng pushed the document in front of Lu Chen, "With your talent, I think you can give it a try. Even if you fail, you can go to Fucheng to develop."
Speaking of this, he rarely expressed emotion, "Only when you go to Qinghe Mansion will you understand what the real world is. A place like ours is too backward.
"That place is a place where geniuses gather and stars gather. It is a holy place that every young person longs for. If one day, we can stand out from it and enter the palace to meet the Holy One, what kind of honor would that be?"
When he said this, a light shone in Cheng Bai's eyes, which seemed to make people's hearts swell.
He looked at Lu Chen and said: "However, the examination of Tianji Academy is extremely difficult. Even for students and sects famous in the capital, it is difficult to enter it. After all, it is an institution directly under the Holy Emperor."
"This assessment document is a quota that can only be allocated in Liangshan County in three years. I hope you can try it."
Lu Chen had no intention of staying in Liangshan County forever. He happened to want to meet the genius of the city. He thought about it and said, "Commander Cheng, I am willing to participate in this assessment."
