Han Zhao took out his handkerchief, wiped off the mud on Yu Niang's body, then took out the map, found the direction, and left the riverside.
An hour later, he arrived outside Yuanchang Mansion with his original appearance.
Looking up at the thick city wall that was nearly forty meters high, Han Zhao couldn't help but be speechless.
The city wall, which is as high as more than ten stories, seems too exaggerated at first glance, and it is impossible to see the end of it from both sides.
In ancient times, the highest city wall was only about ten meters.
However, for the warriors of this world and the children of aristocratic families, forty meters is not very high. This city wall can only protect warriors who are below the level of training.
Through his strong eyesight, Han Zhao saw the soldiers in black armor on the top of the city and the crossbows placed beside him.
This thing is probably not going to be able to withstand the protective power of an ordinary martial artist if faced head-on.
"As expected of a Fucheng."
Han Zhao sighed inwardly and followed the crowd through the spacious city gate.
"It's so big!" Han Zhao came to this world and saw such a huge city for the first time. The streets were wide and clean.
Among the tallest buildings in Black Rock City, there are almost everywhere here. Large blocks of tall buildings are lined up in rows and arranged in an orderly manner.
According to Lu Yi, Yuanchang Fucheng is also divided into inner and outer urban areas, which are divided into city and city districts. In other words, the outer urban area of Fucheng alone is so prosperous.
The permanent population here is nearly two million, which is considered a big city not only in ancient times but also in modern times.
This does not include the villages, towns and earth forts surrounding Fucheng, otherwise the total population would probably be several million.
Only a world with extraordinary power can support such a large population in one city without technology.
Just the amount of domestic waste produced every day is unimaginable.
Han Zhao grabbed a passing little girl and asked for directions.
He is now in Longquanfang in the outer city, located at the south gate of Yuanchang Prefecture, while Guanglinfang, where the Wuyuan Academy is located, is at the east gate.
It seems that the straight line is the shortest, but according to the little girl, it is fastest to enter the inner city first, then go out through the east gate of the inner city, and then transfer to the Wuyuan in Guanglinfang.
"Thank you." Han Zhao cupped his fists in thanks and ran towards the inner city.
After passing through the south gate of the inner city, he entered Asakawabo.
At this time, when he passed a square, he found two huge stone monuments standing in the middle of the square. A group of people surrounded the two stone monuments.
With his eyesight, he could see the figures and words on it.
"Qian Tian Bang"
"Qilin List"
Han Zhao remembered what happened with the jade plaque just now.
He moved a little closer, observing two stone tablets from behind the crowd.
"Two hundred and ninety-five have unknown names, unknown origins, unknown martial arts skills, and state-level training?"
Han Zhao's pupils tightened, and he found his disguised appearance near the bottom of the Qilin Ranking.
Just by looking at this jade sign, he knew his realm, which was really scary.
Fortunately, this jade token is not enough to see through the disguise, and it is impossible to know his name, origin and martial arts out of thin air.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Han Zhao raised his eyebrows.
There was a hand on his side reaching towards his shoulder, but it didn't use any force, let alone any urging force.
Seeing this situation, he did not fight back.
Snapped!
A big hand patted his shoulder.
"Brother, are you new here?"
Han Zhao looked back and saw a young man with a delicate appearance and lively eyes standing beside him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"How do you know?" Han Zhao said calmly.
"Every time I pass by Asakawabo, I come to see the Kirin Ranking and Gantian Ranking. I hope that one day I will be on the list. I am familiar with the people nearby who often come to see the rankings. With your brother's appearance, I only need to meet him once. It’s impossible for me not to be impressed.”
The other person looked familiar.
"It is true that I just came to Fucheng and am going to find someone in the martial arts academy. If possible, I want to stay in the martial arts academy." Han Zhao nodded.
"What a coincidence, I am also studying martial arts in the martial arts academy." The handsome young man said with a smile: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yan Baichuan, and I am a descendant of the Yan family in the city. Everyone in the martial arts academy calls me Fucheng Baichuan. Xiaosheng, I am the only one who dare not say anything, there is nothing I don’t know.”
When Han Zhao heard the other party's loud tone, he cupped his fists and said, "Han Zhao, I have met Brother Yan."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Seeing Han Zhao being so polite, Yan Baichuan's smile became brighter.
He patted Han Zhao on the shoulder and couldn't help but show off: "Brother Han, who do you want to find? There are thousands of people in the martial arts academy. As long as you say a word, I will help you find it within half an hour."
"I'm looking for my senior sister, her name is Lu Yingxuan."
Han Zhao smiled.
"Who?!" Yan Baichuan's voice was raised an octave, and he took away his hand on Han Zhao's shoulder and looked at him seriously.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my senior sister?" Han Zhao asked doubtfully.
According to Lu Yi, Lu Yingxuan was a very well-behaved girl before she fell out with him.
Of course, according to Lu Yingxuan's performance in the simulation, she has obviously changed a lot.
"Wait a minute, I've read this plot many times in story books. A young man from the countryside goes to a big city alone to find his fiancée, who is the daughter of heaven. However, the fiancée breaks off the engagement ruthlessly."
"After many adventures, the young man finally stood on the top of the world. However, the beautiful girl of heaven who regretted the marriage has long since disappeared from everyone and has no regrets."
Yan Baichuan muttered, as if I have seen through you.
"Tell me! Did you come with a marriage certificate?"
"." Han Zhao fell into a brief silence.
Unexpectedly, there were also cases of annulment in other worlds. Although he did not open the letter written by Lu Yi to Lu Yingxuan, he could roughly guess the content of the letter based on her sudden coldness towards him in the simulation.
"Senior Sister Lu is one of the few geniuses in our martial arts academy. She has made a breakthrough in strength training at the age of twenty-four, and is not far away from achieving a breakthrough in strength training."
Yan Baichuan looked admiring.
"Compared with those people who are extremely arrogant even though they are a little talented, Senior Sister Lu has a gentle personality and is approachable. She is simply the perfect partner."
"It's a pity that she is polite and distant to all members of the opposite sex. I have never heard of her having an affair with any member of the opposite sex. She seems to only focus on practicing martial arts."
"Is that so?" Han Zhao nodded. It seemed that revenge was everything to her.
"You don't really have a marriage contract, do you?" Yan Baichuan looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"I'm just kidding. I'm just a poor boy from the countryside. I'm pretty talented. I learned swordsmanship and boxing from Senior Sister Lu's father, so I came to the martial arts academy to study. That's all."
Han Zhao quickly denied it.
He had no intention of handing Lu Yi's letter to Lu Yingxuan. He was simply making himself uncomfortable.
As for Lu Yi's letter asking for help, he would not send it out.
There are many opportunities and resources in Fucheng, but there are so many masters that it is easy to be exposed if you are too pushy.
Unlike families and sects, Wuyuan is a loosely managed school, which is just right for him to live and grow.
Some martial arts that have high restrictions and cannot be practiced by others are treasures to him.
"That's good." Yan Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he lost a strong competitor.
"By the way, Brother Yan, what exactly are the Qilin Bang and Qian Tian Bang?"
Han Zhao changed the topic and pointed to the two huge stone monuments in front of him.
"The Qilin Ranking and the Gantian Ranking are the lists listed by the Star Pavilion, which record the most outstanding young experts from the three kingdoms of Wei, Qi, and Chu.
As long as your age meets the conditions for being on the list and you get the jade medal issued by Zhongxing Pavilion, you can be on the list.
If the jade card holders are not much different in strength, they can sense the approximate location of the opponent through the jade card within a certain range.
Among them, the Qilin List records warriors under the age of thirty who have reached the master level, as well as children of aristocratic families.
Of course, the weakest ones on the list are all top warriors who have mastered their training and are able to compete with the master level. "
Yan Baichuan explained.
"I see." Han Zhao muttered, clearly deliberately provoking a fight.
"The same goes for the Qiantian Ranking. It records Martial Saint Realm warriors under the age of sixty, as well as snake-level family masters and bloodline practitioners." Yan Baichuan continued.
"Then what if you get the ranking jade medal and hide it?"
"Those who are willing to be on the list are all strong men who hope to be famous all over the world. Who would do such a thing?" Yan Baichuan looked at him with a strange expression.
"Of course, if the person on the list disappears for a long time, or hides the jade token in the Sumeru bag and never takes it out, Zhongxing Pavilion will reissue the jade token and then change the list."
"I understand." Han Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't take out the jade token again anyway.
"Anyone who gets a jade medal will never give up!" Yan Baichuan said seriously.
"Why?" Han Zhao was puzzled.
“Because those who are on the Qilin Ranking can participate in the Zhongzhou Strange Territory Trial that takes place every ten years.
The top ten people will all get a Good Fortune Pill.
This is a high-level elixir that can improve qualifications and increase the probability of breaking through to a great realm.
The top three will even get a complete pseudo-magic weapon! No one can resist this temptation. "
Yan Baichuan's eyes lit up.
Han Zhao remained silent.
This Fortune Pill also appeared in the simulation. It was the eldest daughter who wanted to give it to him after getting it, but he didn't want it.
"One look at you and I don't know what the Zhongzhou treacherous realm is." Yan Baichuan felt a little complacent and suddenly lowered his voice.
"Thousands of years ago, an earth-shattering battle took place in Dongsheng Continent, which directly destroyed Zhongzhou, the most prosperous place in the Qin Empire at that time.
As a result, for unknown reasons, the entire Zhongzhou was covered with demonic and sinister energy.
In order to prevent the large amount of demonic and evil energy from leaking out, which would lead to the extinction of mortals, the aristocratic family of Dongshengzhou took the initiative to stop fighting, and finally used a large formation to completely isolate Zhongzhou.
Afterwards, Zhongxing Pavilion lists the Qilin Ranking. Once every ten years, those on the list can enter the Zhongzhou Strange Realm, and their rankings are calculated based on the number of demonized monsters killed.
Therefore, as long as you have a way to deal with the demonized monsters, you can get a high ranking, and then get the Good Fortune Pill, and reach the sky in one step! "
"You said that all of Zhongzhou is covered by demonic and sinister energy?" Han Zhao's eyes widened suddenly.
Wouldn't this allow his demonic strength to directly break through the limit?
The most important thing is to be able to eat the Yuanso Pearl until it dies.
The same goes for divine weapons.
"Of course, once every ten years." Yan Baichuan was very sure.
"Is it dangerous?" Han Zhao thought of the crux of the problem. If it was like a weird thing and was guarded by a powerful demon, how could he get there?
“Of course it’s dangerous, but as long as you don’t go to the central area, there won’t be any big problems.
Anyway, every time the Zhongzhou Strange Territory is opened, more than half of the people can come out alive.
Even if these people do not enter the top ten, most of them will become famous and powerful in the future.
Because of this, many warriors were favored by top aristocratic families and directly extended an olive branch! "
Yan Baichuan said enviously.
'What a vicious family, isn't this just poaching all the top warriors from their roots? Han Zhao felt awe-inspiring.
"As for the Qiantian Bang, it involves too high a level. I don't know where the Qiantian Palace is. I heard it's about breaking through the secrets of the God of War."
Yan Baichuan thought of himself.
"Breaking through the Martial God's secret?!" Han Zhao's pupils tightened.
If for the sake of safety, he had to look at the situation before going to the Zhongzhou Strange Territory, then the big secret related to breaking through the Martial God was worth a little risk for him.
"The death rate in Qiantian Palace is too high! I heard that in the past three hundred years, no pure warrior has been able to come out alive after entering."
Yan Baichuan patted Han Zhao on the shoulder and sighed.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. If you want to be on the Qiantian Ranking, you must at least have the strength of the Martial Saint Realm. We can cultivate to the point where we can achieve great results in this life. It is estimated that only people like Senior Sister Lu have hope. Can be on the Qian Tian Ranking."
"Yes." Han Zhao nodded, thoughtfully.
"Look, those two are the warriors who have great hope of entering the Qiantian Ranking." Yan Baichuan pointed to the stone tablet on the left.
"Qi Xuanming, today he promoted one hundred and forty perverts in one breath!
There is also the one who just made the list. I don’t know his name. He practiced his strength and killed Lin Feng, the leader of the Black Snake Hall of the Angry Dragon Gang.
Lin Feng was a highly accomplished warrior whose combat power was comparable to that of a grandmaster. I really don't know where such a monster appeared. "
"Lin Feng has the strength of a grandmaster?!" Han Zhao was confused. After he used all his strength to activate his three yuan energy, he subdued the opponent with one move. Is this also a grandmaster?
"Of course, Lin Feng is only twenty-two years old this year. He is the adopted son of the previous leader of the Nujiao Gang and a young master trained by Wu Sheng himself. If I can practice my strength at this age, I can laugh out of my dreams. .”
Yan Baichuan sighed.
"Yes." Han Zhao was a little unsure. Maybe Lin Feng had some special skills that he didn't have time to use. Anyway, he felt that the opponent was very weak.
At this time, Yan Baichuan patted his chest and said, "Brother Han, I dare to bet you that Qi Xuanming and that unknown master will definitely be able to enter the top twenty in the Zhongzhou Trial four years later.
Sixteen years later, the Qiantian Palace was opened, and they were definitely ranked on the Qiantian List! Do you dare to bet? "
"I'm not addicted to gambling." Han Zhao refused directly. If he gambled, he would lose.
In sixteen years, if he cannot step into the Martial Saint Realm, he should really reflect on it.
"Oh, that's boring." Yan Baichuan waved his hand, and then changed the topic and said, "But there is one thing we are similar about. I am not a poisoner. It should be said that we are incompatible with each other!"
"Good job." Han Zhao affirmed.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the martial arts academy. If I remember correctly, Senior Sister Lu has been traveling recently and may not be back until ten days and a half.
If you can wait, find an inn to stay in first. After all, the martial arts academy does not accept everyone.
You wait until Senior Sister Lu comes back, and with her recommendation, your chances of getting started will be much higher. "
Yan Baichuan waved to Han Zhao.
"Thank you, Brother Yan." Han Zhao said, cupping his fists. It was rare to meet such an enthusiastic person.
"It doesn't matter, I just like to make friends, especially people who look as handsome as me."
Yan Baichuan smiled heartily.
Yan Baichuan led Han Zhao to the martial arts academy in Guanglinfang.
Along the way, his mouth almost never stopped.
Han Zhao didn't find it annoying, because this guy was indeed a talkative person.
Basically, he knew which restaurant was delicious, where was the gambling house, and which girl was good-looking, especially the fact that he could call all the waiters by their names, Han was convinced.
This is the real life-and-death relationship with poison.
In this way, Yan Baichuan took him for more than two hours on a journey that could be completed in half an hour.
Then he took him around the martial arts academy.
This guy seems to be very popular in the martial arts academy. Everyone he meets, regardless of their strength, greets him with a smile.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Yan Baichuan was about to drag him to Goulan to listen to music, but Han Zhao flatly refused.
If Lu Yingxuan knew about this, his impression would probably drop sharply.
Although even if he went, he would only really listen to the music, but for the sake of future development, he still forgot about it.
The future is long, don’t rush for the moment.
Seeing that Han Zhao was unwilling, Yan Baichuan did not force himself and took him to find an affordable inn with a good environment to stay, and made an appointment to come see him again tomorrow.
"What a wonderful man."
Han Zhao couldn't help but smile as he looked at Yan Baichuan's back disappearing at the end of the street.
After coming back to his senses, he closed the door tightly and said silently in his heart.
"system."
[Collect 80 reminder fragments. Do you want to synthesize the entry? 】
[Synthesized once, it consumes 70 reminder fragments and 180 taels of gold.]
Since there is Zhongzhou Weird Realm to go to, there is no need to go on weird adventures anymore.
"Sure enough, if you obtain some important information in reality, you can find many more ways in the simulation."
Han Zhao secretly thought to himself, let him in the simulation explore the path first.
"Synthesis, start simulation."
[At the age of twenty-one, you rushed to Yuanchang Fucheng, met Yan Baichuan, and learned the information about Qilin Bang and Gantian Bang from him. 】
[At the age of twenty-two, you gained Lu Yingxuan’s trust and then joined the Ji family. 】
[With the support of Ji Baiwei's resources, you tried to learn alchemy. You found that you were very talented in alchemy. In less than a year, you became a low-level alchemist. 】
[At the age of twenty-three, you gained the attention of the top management of the Ji family and received a large amount of resources for alchemy making. 】
[You are practicing the Diamond Art and alchemy at the same time, but you still cannot reach the level of an intermediate alchemist. 】
[At the age of twenty-four, you have practiced the Diamond Art to the third level, and at the same time started practicing the 'Spirit Seizing Technique'. 】
[Half a year later, you mastered the first level of Soul Seizing Technique and returned to Yuanchang Fucheng to help Lu Yingxuan solve the problem of imbalance of yin and yang qi without being discovered by Ji Baiwei. 】
[At the age of twenty-five, you and Lu Yingxuan participated in the Zhongzhou Trial. 】
[You raised your demon power to its peak during the trial. 】
[After the trial, you, thirty-one, and Lu Yingxuan, ninth, received a Good Fortune Pill, which she gave to you. 】
[Twenty-six years old, by the way, you have cultivated the blood spirit strategy that has been ignored to the second level of perfection. As a result, you have gained the ability of 'blood spirit incarnation', which can consume your own blood to create a permanent clone. 】
[You relied on your clones to deal with Lu Yingxuan and Ji Baiwei, and no flaw was ever discovered. 】
[At the age of twenty-seven, you broke through to the realm of the Second Qi Grandmaster and achieved great success in the Three Yuan Dynasty; Lu Yingxuan successfully became a Saint. 】
[At the age of twenty-eight, you encountered the Five Qi Grandmaster of Jiuyou Mansion. You used all your methods, relying on the three-yuan energy of Dacheng and the long-range attack ability of three-spirit archery, to kill the opponent by flying a kite. 】
[At the age of thirty, you successfully practiced the Soul Seizing Technique to the second level, and captured part of Lu Yingxuan's Dragon Roar Body, which greatly increased your cultivation speed. 】
[At the age of thirty-six, you have cultivated to the realm of the Five Qi Master, with the three-yuan energy, the rain-covering energy, the red dragon energy, and the three-spirit energy reaching perfection. 】
[In order to condense your minor magical powers when you become a saint, you decide to integrate all the power in your body. 】
[At the age of thirty-seven, you are ready to make a breakthrough, but you make mistakes in time management. 】
[Lu Yingxuan and Ji Baiwei came to protect you at the same time, but they got into a fight. 】
[Just when the two women were about to die together, you went to start a fight, but were accidentally injured by Lu Yingxuan's small magical power and Ji Baiwei's magical weapon, and died on the spot. 】
"Shura field plus hatchet"
Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and was stunned.
[1. Obtain the entry (not optional)]
[2. Obtain attribute points]
[3. Obtain any part of life experience]
[Current balance: 500 taels of gold]
The memory option is good, but it is only a junior alchemist, and in reality he has the bonus of the [Alchemy Saint Reincarnation] entry, so this level will be reached quickly.
But this secret technique of blood spirit incarnation is crucial to him.
The original Blood Spirit Strategy does not have this ability at all.
"The Blood Spirit Strategy I am currently practicing is itself optimized. I should be able to obtain the 'Blood Spirit Incarnation' by directly adding points, but"
Han Zhao was a little confused.
He didn't dare to take a gamble. If he didn't have this ability after adding points, he would suffer a big loss.
But other memories don't have anything very critical either.
This is not an entry, so it will be quick if you don’t select it.
"By the way, postpone the option and select attribute points."
If you don’t have the ability to become a blood spirit after adding points, choose memory in the next simulation. "
Han Zhao's eyes lit up and he immediately said silently:
"Delay option three, I choose two."
[Extra consumption of 1 tael of gold. 】
[Current balance: 499 taels of gold]
[Attribute points +32]
Martial arts: Blood Spirit Strategy (85% entry level for the second level, can be improved; special effects: blood transformation level 4, mind control level 3, blood explosion level 2, blood melting level 1)
"Raise the blood spirit strategy to the second level of perfection."
[Attribute points: 32→20]
Martial Arts: Blood Spirit Strategy (the second level is 4% perfect, can be improved; special effects: blood transformation level 6, mind control level 5, blood explosion level 4, blood melting level 2, blood spirit incarnation)
[Blood Spirit Incarnation (0/1): Consumes 10% of one's own energy and blood to create a clone with 80% of the body's strength (needs to be carried by the physical body);
The improved Qi and blood of the clone can act on the main body. When the clone and the main body practice the same martial arts and break through, they can increase the probability of the main body's breakthrough through fusion;
During the existence of the clone, the main body can only exert half of its strength, and the clone can merge with the main body at any time. 】
PS: Add more updates for the leader's messed up smoke, the fifth update is finished. Next, everyone wants to see which person in the vest shows his sage, Xiong Ba, Lang Fanyun, Sword Madness, Sword Chi, and Heavenly Sword Song Que, in order.
