Bai Ze pondered over the "Five Elements Sword Manual" for three whole days. In addition to blacksmithing every day, he also studied the sword manual, and then he was stunned that he really figured out something about it.
The five elements of true qi are divided into metal, wood, water, fire and earth. His pure yang true qi does not belong to any of the five elements, but is the anode attribute among yin and yang. This kind of true energy can be transformed into the five elements true energy, but there are limitations to the transformation.
Among the five elements, metal and fire belong to yang, earth and water belong to yin, wood, earth, and sky refer to both yin and yang. Therefore, if Bai Ze wants to practice the "Five Elements Sword Manual", he can only practice three swords, namely the wooden sword, the golden sword, and the fire sword.
Unless your cultivation reaches the other side, your true energy cannot break away from the shackles of the sea of suffering, so don't even think about the Five Elements Sword Energy. But in three days, Bai Ze had a sword manual in his hand, and relying on Tao Hongjing's intentional or unintentional request, he was able to transform the infuriating energy of the three colors of gold, wood, and fire in his body.
At this time, in Bai Ze's room, the young man was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The three colors of his body, namely gold energy, wood energy, and fire energy, were changing through reincarnation. Golden light, green light, and red light intertwined like a rainbow.
After a moment, Bai Ze opened his eyes, his starry eyes flashed with light, and he said happily: "Success!"
Bai Ze stretched out his right hand, and the color of his palm turned golden. He casually took the bedside bronze mirror in his hand, squeezed it hard, and twisted the bronze mirror into distortion.
"The characteristic of the Five Elements Qi and the Metal Qi is that it is hard. If I pinch it with my flesh and blood palm, even if the bronze mirror deforms, my bones will break." Bai Ze nodded secretly, "Now that the metallic Qi comes out, it can actually strengthen me. flesh and blood."
Bai Ze's heart moved, and the five elements of fire evolved. His palms turned from gold to red, burning the bronze mirror red.
"Excellent!" Bai Ze threw down the bronze mirror, feeling very happy in his heart. Now he plans to enter Dushan again to seize the Xuanhuang Dragon Qi, and he is very happy with the improvement in his strength bit by bit.
After all, the higher the cultivation level, the higher the chance that he can come out alive. What Tao Hongjing said is reasonable. Now he is practicing too fast in the Sea of Bitter Realm. In less than half a year, he has broken through the seventh level of heaven. This speed was beyond the reach of even Xie Xuan back then.
The true energy surges. If the strength of the soul cannot keep up when crossing the sea of suffering, then the three illusions he encounters when crossing the sea of suffering and entering the other side may very well kill him.
Bai Ze packed up, put on his two swords, and was about to go out when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door. Just by hearing the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the bluestone in the alleyway, Bai Ze knew that the horse was a good horse and that the person coming must be Mu Chen.
Sure enough, Bai Ze only heard the person outside the door reining in his horse, knocking on the door, and shouted: "Bai Ze!"
Bai Zexin said that it seemed that he would not be able to go to Tao Hongjing's place to learn sword-making today. He opened the door and saw four people riding on five horses outside. Among them, Mu Chen, Mu Qingling and Lu Zheng were all familiar to him, and the other two on the horse were He has never seen eight girls.
The girl was not very beautiful, but her cold temperament and the red silk around her waist made her look unforgettable.
"Mu Chen, why do you have time to come to my place today?" Bai Ze greeted him with a smile. Seeing that the young prince had an extra horse, he knew that going out today was unavoidable.
"Stop talking nonsense and get on the horse!" Mu Chen laughed and introduced Bai Ze. He looked at the girl in white next to him and said, "This one is from Handan..."
Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, the Sixth Princess spoke up and interrupted: "Zhao Ling'er, I heard the princess and sister talk about you a lot. Your name is Bai Ze. Your cultivation is not as good as the sea of suffering, but you can lead the princess out of Dushan. It's quite impressive." Remarkable."
"Thank you, girl." Bai Ze got on his horse and said with cupped hands.
What a fine person Bai Ze is. As soon as Mu Chen said that the twenty-eight girl in front of him was from Handan, and heard that her surname was Zhao, and saw how respectful the prince and princess were to her, and how reserved and serious Lu Zheng was, he guessed again. Zhao Ling'er's identity as a member of King Yan's royal family would have blinded him.
"Bai Ze, long time no see. I haven't seen you come to us in the past ten days. What's the point of staying here?" Mu Qingling greeted Bai Ze and asked.
"I can't say it's boring." Bai Ze didn't think of telling Tao Hongjing's existence, so he smiled, looked at Lu Zheng, and said, "Brother Lu gave me a sword manual before, and I have been studying it at home these past few days. "
"I heard from Lu Zheng, how did you study the book "The Sword Intention of the River"?" Mu Chen smiled heartily and said, "Someday you go with me to the military camp outside the city, and you and I have a fight. How about it? Speaking of which, I also read a book or two about that book "The Sword Intention of the River" before, and I benefited a lot from it."
"Brother, you have such a high level of cultivation. No matter what Bai Ze says, you are in the sea of suffering. How can I fight with you?" Mu Qingling was angry at the prince after hearing this.
"Haha, okay!" Bai Ze agreed immediately.
"Don't worry, sister. I know your brother well. We'll stop here and won't hurt Brother Bai Ze." Mu Chen looked at his sister with a strange look, and even the sixth princess's eyes were filled with amusement.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Ze quickly changed the subject: "It's just Mu Chen, where are you going on horseback?"
"Chamber of Commerce." Mu Chen said, "That day on the Qinghe River, the Young Master of the Chamber of Commerce acted righteously, but I haven't come to thank you yet. I happened to have time today, and Miss Zhao was curious about the Treasures Pavilion of the Chamber of Commerce. I prepared a gift, and I just happened to come and join us. Let’s go to the Chamber of Commerce together and each go his own way.”
"That's it." Bai Ze nodded.
So the group of five people said no more. The prince reined up his horse and turned around. He took the lead and ran out of the alleyway. The four people followed closely behind and went straight to the East Chamber of Commerce in the city.
Bai Ze also had gold and silver that he had collected from the young master of the Du family in Dushan. It happened that several elixirs that Xie Xuan had told him about might be sold by the Chamber of Commerce. Now that he could go with them, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone.
…
The Chengdong Chamber of Commerce is half the sky for commodity circulation in Heyang City. It can be said that half of the rangers in Heyang City rely on the tasks issued by the Chamber of Commerce every day. The fundamental reason for the emergence of the mercenary organization in the west of the city lies in the Chamber of Commerce.
Because there are so many types of tasks issued by the Chamber of Commerce, many tasks cannot be completed by one person. Over time, it has become common for rangers to form groups to complete tasks. Some wealthy families also take aim at ranger groups for things that are inconvenient but have to do.
Slowly, mercenary organizations emerged. To put it bluntly, this organization is equivalent to a unified group of rangers, gradually separated from those individuals who fight alone.
A group of five people arrived at the boundary of the Chamber of Commerce, handed the horses to the concierge, entered the Chamber of Commerce gate, walked directly through the mission hall, and walked to the atrium.
This chamber of commerce occupies a huge area, with mission halls, auction venues, treasure pavilions, elixir pavilions, spiritual weapon pavilions, ordinary merchandise stores, restaurants specially used to entertain VIPs of the chamber of commerce, etc. These buildings are independent of each other, but they are all In the realm.
The atrium garden of the Chamber of Commerce is also known as the No. 1 garden in Heyang City. The rockery layout, Feng Shui architecture, pavilions, rare flowers, century-old trees, and painted bridges and smoke lakes were all designed by famous southern gardeners. It's really very particular.
When Bai Zetou came back to the Chamber of Commerce, he only walked around the mission hall and didn't see much of the other scenery. Now as soon as I enter the atrium, I immediately feel that the elegance reflected in the richness and wealth of this chamber of commerce is really eye-opening.
As early as the prince entered the chamber of commerce, the colored concierge had already scurried away to report to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard that the prince and the princess had brought someone, he did not dare to neglect. He quickly left what he was doing and ran to the atrium to greet him personally.
After all, this Heyang City is still the fiefdom of the Marquis of Heyang. The only person who is unique here is Mu Suifeng. Now that the eldest son of the Marquis of Heyang is here, no matter how busy he is, he dare not turn a blind eye.
The plump shopkeeper was dressed in rich clothes. When he saw Mu Chen from a distance, he greeted loudly: "His Royal Highness, your visit today is really disrespectful and disrespectful!"
When Mu Chen and his party saw the shopkeeper walking quickly, they all stopped and stopped on a winding path paved with cobblestones in the garden.
"Shopkeeper Dong, long time no see!" Mu Chen greeted with a smile, and when he saw Shopkeeper Dong approaching, he said: "My prince is here today. First of all, my friend wants to see your treasure pavilion, which is known as the world's rarest treasures. Secondly, I met your young master's family on Qinghe River before, and today I brought Bo Lite for a visit."
"That's it." Shopkeeper Dong said, "The young master's family has been busy checking the accounts these days, and understanding the operations of the Chamber of Commerce in recent years has been very busy. In this way, Your Highness, I will take you to the study to sit for a while, and then I will go and invite the young master's family .”
"So, that's troublesome." Mu Chen said.
The group of people followed Shopkeeper Dong through the atrium and onto the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce. Bai Ze could clearly see that the environment here was quieter, and there were far fewer people than in the front hall. The people coming and going were either rich or noble, and everyone was dressed in brocade. They had swords on their waists and folding fans in their hands, all valuable items.
Shopkeeper Dong took everyone to the study, ordered his servants to prepare tea and snacks, confessed his crime, and went to invite the young master's family.
"This study is quite elegant." Seeing Shopkeeper Dong leave, Mu Chen looked at the study in front of him. He saw that the copper furnace was lifelike with auspicious animals, and the incense in the furnace was fresh and elegant. A bookcase is carved from agarwood, which was famous in the Song Dynasty. The four treasures of the study on it are also treasures from Handan Shangshu Pavilion.
The study room clearly has a girlish atmosphere. The bookshelves on the walls are made of fine red sandalwood and are filled with all kinds of books. There are also original ink paintings by the famous painter Zhiming Monk hanging on the wall, and there are still a few unhung scrolls in the celadon urn next to the bookshelf.
The Sixth Princess and Mu Qingling were attracted by the landscape paintings of Monk Zhiming on the wall and went to take a closer look. The ink painting of Jiangnan in that painting is very different from the scenery of Dayan. It depicts the scenery of the Song Dynasty, which is very pleasant.
Lu Zheng behaved himself, sitting at the pear table and sipping tea. The prince was a carefree master. When the owner of the study room was not there, he ran to look through the books on the bookshelf. Those who didn't know it thought he was the owner of the study room.
Bai Ze was interested in the calligraphy on the desk. He walked over and took a look, and found that there was actually a calligraphy written by the owner of the study room. It's just that the words in that painting are not all written, only half.
"This handwriting is smart, free and elegant, and it doesn't look like it was written by a young girl." Bai Ze looked at the calligraphy, and he looked like a deer walking in the snow, hiding in the forest, and smiled slightly.
On the desk, on top-quality green gauze rice paper produced in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, there were five big characters written "warm wine and wait for your return".
