Chapter 372: March Period (Part 1)
When the morning sun shines into Fenghe Pier, a group of sailors who usually arrange combat drills on the water did not conduct their usual drills today for the first time. In the early morning of late autumn, the entire Fenghe Pier seemed a little deserted.
Yan Qingguan, who was stationed at the dock, also rarely appeared at this military dock. The sailors knew that something big must have happened, otherwise the gang leader and the three leaders would not have gathered here. Thinking of the bright lights and huge roar outside the village last night, combined with the gossip from their colleagues, they strengthened their guesses.
"How is Mr. Li's recovery from his injury?" Yan Mingbo, who was not tall but full of aura, looked at the middle-aged man opposite and asked sincerely.
Since the two parties have already formed an alliance, this kind of goodwill that does not require any cost is naturally the more the merrier.
Li Chengqian seemed to be in good spirits at this time. He was seriously injured in the previous battle. Fortunately, Luo Luodan, with Zhang Ming, stabilized the injury and did not continue to worsen. As for how much he had recovered, only he knew.
However, it is even more difficult to estimate the strength of Li Chengqian among the warriors here in Chunfeng Town. In Hao Xinhu's words, even if he is not a strong warrior in the heroic realm, he is about the same.
The martial arts path is long, with three levels and twelve levels. If you can pass the level of the knight, you will enter the middle level of martial arts. Even though it is just a middle martial arts realm, there are 108 people on the Pingtian Ranking List, and there are definitely less than 100 people with strength above the Hero Realm.
Of course, this does not mean that there are less than a hundred strong men above the middle martial arts realm in today's martial arts world. Many hidden strong men may have never appeared in today's world, but from this we can see how rare this heroic realm is!
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Now that the Luoye City incident has come to an end, I will take people back to Yinren first. We will send a special caravan and envoys to discuss cooperation together." Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
Yan Mingbo nodded and turned his head to indicate left and right. Soon there were watermen in white shorts, working in pairs, carrying three large jars.
A few feet away, there was an intoxicating aroma of wine.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Mingbo...
"Mr. Li..." Before Yan Mingbo could finish speaking, the middle-aged man interrupted:
"It was my mistake to rashly express my stance to Luoye City regarding the alliance!"
Then he looked at the other party and added word by word: "But it does not mean that we, Yinren Town, have to make concessions because of this!"
Everyone in Chunfeng Town was a little stunned. Yan Mingbo, the leader, looked at Zhang Yaoyao next to him and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Li's meaning, Yan is not sure..."
"What I mean is very simple! Give these jars of wine to me, don't sell them!" After saying that, he stared at the other party seriously, for fear that Yan Mingbo would make any unreasonable demands.
Because the middle-aged man understands that his resistance to these fine wines is extremely low at this time, and even if the other party makes any excessive demands, he will still agree.
Yan Mingbo finally understood what Li Chengqian meant at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you are worrying too much. These three jars of wine are just for..."
Hoo ho ho!
Three rapid sounds broke through the air, accompanied by the exclamations of several sailors, and they saw that the three large jars of wine were directly sucked by Li Chengqian. Two of the jars fell steadily on both sides of him, while the third jar was directly sucked. He holds it!
…
Yi Xifeng looked at the large jar of wine carried behind him with a pained expression. In Li Chengqian's words, this kid had been carrying a wine gourd since he was a child. He was also a professional in Yinren Town for the storage and transportation of wine.
So the job of carrying the wine jar fell on him, while Zhang Ming wanted to take away the other jar of wine. Although Li Chengqian was extremely distressed, he still agreed to the deal after receiving his promise to return the three altars after three months.
Since then, Zhang Ming took Qin Hongyao away from everyone. In his words, he still had some things to deal with and would go to Qingchuan County in the near future. Before parting, the young man in brocade gave Yi Xifeng a bell. It looked inconspicuous, but it was extremely delicate and contained a mystery.
"If you want to find me with something important, you can take this bell to any pharmacy that sells Angong Niuhuang Pills, show it to their shopkeeper, and tell them that you are looking for me. This way you will know my whereabouts within three days!" Zhang Ming solemnly instructed.
Yi Xifeng naturally knew that the bell should be a token, so he naturally put it away. Then the young man in Jinyi asked for the fair boy's address and said with a smile: "Maybe one day, you will find a person passed out in front of your house. , it’s probably me!”
"Oh? Really? Give me the address and I'll change it!" Yi Xifeng smiled playfully. However, the other party naturally didn't take it seriously, didn't delay, and just turned around and left.
Seeing Zhang Ming and Qin Hongyao gradually disappearing, Yi Xifeng couldn't help shouting: "Shopkeeper Zhang! Give birth to a son soon!"
The figure who was walking very gracefully obviously stumbled, but he did not look back. He took the woman's figure and disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
…
The journey back was extremely smooth. Except for the spies from Luoye County, no other forces came here in Chunfeng Town. After all, this place is very close to Luoye City and has always been regarded as a bedside place by the governor. Naturally, they jointly suppress the exploration of other forces.
And this pure enemy-enemy relationship also allowed Chunfeng Town to gain a short recovery period when it was separated from the control of Luoye City. At least for a short period of time, it did not have to worry about the covetousness of other forces.
The group of people met up with the team led by Venomous Bee more than ten miles away from the border. At this point, the operation basically came to an end.
You must know that Li Chengqian, Dufeng, Zhang Yanshi, Zhou Di, Lu Huahua, Yi Xifeng, Zhao Long, Lin Fenghuo, Wang Bodang, Zhong Lingxi, Lin Lei, Fifth Xiaoxiao, Li Xintian, Qi Chengcheng, Xia Mingfei, Wu Quanxi, Dong Ke, these seventeen people are here, plus a few guard Tieyi who came with Venomous Bee.
A total of twenty people were already one-third of the peak combat strength of the entire Yinren Town! If most of them weren't injured and their internal energy had been depleted many times, this team could have walked sideways throughout Luoye County.
"Captain!" Venomous Bee said subconsciously when seeing Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "That was before, now your captain is Cheng Tao!"
When the enchanting woman heard this, she could only nod her head. Obviously, as the former captain of the mountain patrol team, Li Chengqian still had a high prestige among the mountain patrol team. This is quite different from his image in the hearts of the people in Yinren Town.
However, it makes sense to think about it. The main reason why Li Chengqian left the mountain patrol team was his martial arts. Compared with Li Chengtao who was calm and meticulous, the middle-aged man relied more on his own personality charm.
It's just that this kind of manager is okay in the early stages of team establishment. Once the organization becomes formal, a leader like Li Chengtao is needed to make the mountain patrol team continue to grow!
…………Dividing line…………
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
Yi Xifeng has returned to Yinren Town and handed in the mission. He has gained a lot from completing this "super-terrestrial mission".
While training these past two days, the fair boy was also constantly summarizing.
The first and most intuitive gain is the mission reward:
Each person has ten thousand taels of silver and three hundred tributes!
You know, the last time they completed the tasks of "Destroying the Iron Heart in Three Days" plus "Suppressing the Black Cavalry", everyone got 500 tributes each.
The harvest from this "super-terrestrial mission" is already the same as last time!
Three hundred tributes, based on the current ratio of one to twenty, is equivalent to six thousand taels of silver. In addition to the direct reward of 10,000 taels, the direct contribution of this mission is sixteen thousand taels.
You must know that before Yi Xifeng became a bodyguard, he sold alcohol through Qingxin Winery, and his annual income was only about 10,000 taels.
It has only been less than a year since the fair boy became the Iron Guard. From these two important missions, his income has exceeded 26,000 taels! (The first payment of 500 tributes is equivalent to ten thousand taels.)
"Sure enough, strength is the first driving force for making money!" Yi Xifeng muttered with emotion.
In addition to this intuitive financial income, the most fundamental thing is Yi Xifeng's exploration of his own martial arts path. Through many actual battles during this mission, he became more and more aware of the benefits of body training to himself.
Before the six months of special training, Yi Xifeng's strength could only be regarded as the middle level of the second echelon among the twelve martial arts masters.
Among them, Zhang Yanyan, Lu Huahua, and Zhou Di are considered to be the three people in the first echelon.
Zhao Long, Wang Bodang, Lin Fenghuo, and Yi Xifeng are considered the second echelon.
Zhong Lingxi, Fifth Xiaoxiao, and Lin Lei are considered the third echelon.
Li Xintian and Qi Chengcheng are considered the fourth echelon at the bottom.
At that time, Yi Xifeng was not as powerful as Zhao Long and Wang Bodang, and could barely compete with Lin Fenghuo relying on Ye Jian Hanxing and Guizang Scabbard.
But at this time, the fair boy did not want to be like half a year ago. His true combat power was already vaguely comparable to Zhao Long. Even against stronger enemies, Yi Xifeng could last longer.
As a companion, everyone can naturally see this progress! This led to Zhao Long saying that he wanted to train with Yi Xifeng when he was defeated by Yin Shisan.
Furthermore, he gained a lot from watching Li Chengqian's battle in Chunfeng Town, especially the middle-aged man's "Eight Dragons and Seven Wounding Fists"! Not only did it allow him to see clearly the true power of the Eight Dragon Realm Wandering Dragon Palm, but it also made Yi Xifeng understand that the most important thing about creating his own moves is to know how to use them and how to adjust them appropriately according to his own situation.
It opens a door for the fair boy to integrate the martial arts from his previous life on earth!
Finally, to Yi Xifeng's surprise, he finally found a substitute for "Suxin Wine". It was the "sobering wine" that Zhang Ming brewed for one thousand taels per pot.
You know, Yi Xifeng's own posture is not outstanding among the warriors, not even in the middle range. This is also the main reason why Li Chengqian did not accept him as his disciple at first.
It was a random act to teach the fair young boy the "Jin Qi Control Technique". As early as more than ten years ago, he had selected a group of teenagers with good physical strength and practiced this "historic technique". Unfortunately, the results were well known to everyone.
That day when he saw Yi Xifeng showing extraordinary perseverance while practicing Zamabu, and showing signs of early wisdom in the subsequent conversation, he had an impulse to test whether this young man was the right one.
Of course, he would not hide the stakes involved. After all, he chose his own path and had no one to blame.
Fortunately, that time he relied on drinking to open up his meridians, which successfully attracted Li Chengqian's attention, and Yi Xifeng took the first step in martial arts.
The limitations of his own body are also a major worry for him. The "Medicine and Wine Cultivation Plan" is another major reliance that he figured out by himself.
Unfortunately, as one's own realm improves, the requirements for medicinal wine are getting higher and higher. Therefore, successfully finding the "sobering wine" this time can be regarded as a major gain for Yi Xifeng.
…
After careful calculation, Yi Xifeng has indeed gained a lot from completing this exploration mission in Luoye City!
"It seems that in addition to body training, the study of past life martial arts will be put on the agenda!" Yi Xifeng murmured to himself.
The so-called martial arts of one's own means that the martial artist finds his own martial arts through his perception of the true essence of heaven and earth, and then preliminary understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth, combined with the path of martial arts.
The meaning itself is indeed too mysterious for Yi Xifeng to understand.
But when it comes to understanding the way of heaven, a young man who has been a human for two lives naturally has his own understanding. And this kind of knowledge is unique among the warriors in the world.
Even Yi Xifeng himself was curious as to whether the great way of heaven and earth he perceived was the current way of heaven or the way of heaven in the past.
After all, he had traveled through time, and although his body had rejuvenated and turned into a child, his inner soul was still that of a seventeen-year-old high school student. The most basic world view and values have been basically established, so Yi Xifeng's understanding of the way of heaven will indeed be different.
…
After five days of rest, Yi Xifeng was still back to his best condition. In fact, since yesterday, Zhou Di informed him that Zhao Long had indeed participated in physical training. However, the boy with two swords does not have the physical strength and defense recovery ability of Yi Xifeng. His daily training time is less than half an hour.
It took four or five hours to compete with a fair-skinned young man, and the warm-up exercise lasted half an hour.
Every time Zhao Long was bruised by the fine electric light and almost fainted, Yi Xifeng would deliberately shout: "Brother Zhou, I'm ready to warm up, let's get started!"
Even though Zhou Di had already caused lightning bolts as thick as a bowl to strike down on his head, Yi Xifeng still endured the severe pain of fainting and stood motionless in the crater that was blasted out!
After undergoing high-intensity physical training in the morning, Zhao Long will practice internal strength in the afternoon, while Yi Xifeng will go to Lu Huahua for actual combat training.
It's not that Zhao Long is lazy, but that Zhao Long's recovery ability is far inferior to Yi Xifeng's due to his own skill. Fortunately, the boy with two swords has a strong soul, and this kind of self-reflective inner strength cultivation has greatly improved him.
Yi Xifeng spent the entire afternoon under Lu Huahua's stick. The two of them also did not use their inner energy to support them, and simply used their physical strength to compete.
Compared to the fair boy who was beaten unilaterally at the beginning, now Yi Xifeng can barely block a few blows from the short-haired girl!
And at night, he would follow Li Chengqian to contact Youlong Pikongzhang. That's right, since the middle-aged man came back from the ancient ruins this time, he has a deeper understanding of martial arts, and he is naturally willing to practice with Yi Xifeng.
In this way, a month passed in such a hurry without even realizing it.
