Let’s not mention Zhang Mingzhi’s side being disturbed by strange things, but talk about Yang Jin’s side who is waiting for news.
Yang Jin is very busy now. While he is continuing to act and pretend to be lame, he is also seizing the time to refine himself and build his foundation, coagulate his blood and temper his body, and at the same time be careful to deal with unexpected situations in the magic around him.
In the past few days since returning from outside the city, Yang Jin still hasn't gone anywhere. He just stayed in the courtyard of the Shenzhenmen's stolen goods warehouse to practice swords and boxing, coagulate blood, temper the body, and strengthen the body.
The method of practicing the heavy sword method not only concealed his invisible embarrassment, but also greatly accelerated his progress in self-refining, foundation building, and blood coagulation and body tempering.
After practicing in seclusion for less than a month, he broke through the fifth level of blood coagulation and tempering and entered the sixth level of blood coagulation.
His blood became more viscous and solid, and the density also became greater, gradually revealing the properties of lead and mercury, round and crystal clear.
When Yang Jin looked inside his body using the method of listening to breath and cultivating energy, he also discovered that there was a layer of golden light faintly exuding on his blood, which was extremely mysterious.
The essence and blood all over his body were condensed and improved again, and Yang Jin's physique was once again improved to a higher level as if he had been reborn.
With his improved physique and strength, coupled with his increasing familiarity with the epee in his opponent's hands these days, it has become easier for Yang Jin to use the epee to perform basic swordsmanship.
After practicing the sword like this for a month, Yang Jin's hands were no longer as heavy as before when he carried the epee, and he gradually felt comfortable stabbing and sweeping.
At the same time, he increasingly felt that using the heavy sword with the thirteen basic sword techniques he created during his enlightenment was a perfect match.
The thirteen basic sword techniques he created are themselves sword moves that he cut out the complex and simplified from more than fifty basic sword techniques.
The sword technique is extremely refined and simple. Although the changes are simple and there are not many tricks, it is extremely mysterious and full of artistic conception. It follows the path of "the greatest simplicity, one sword to defeat all kinds of magic".
Now combined with the eight characters "heavy sword has no edge, great skill has no skill", the state of it is far superior to all the most ingenious sword moves in the world.
He wielded the heavy sword and performed basic sword skills. While using the weight of the heavy sword to condense blood and temper his body, he meditated on the castration circuit of the sword moves.
But the more mediocre the sword moves are, coupled with such a heavy sword, the more difficult it is for the opponent to resist as long as the speed is fast enough.
For example, if you thrust straight with a sword, as long as it is strong and powerful, it will be far more powerful than the magical sword moves such as the Bagua Youlong Sword.
After practicing for a month, not only has he made great progress in self-refinement and foundation building, but he has also gained a lot of understanding in the art of swordsmanship.
Nowadays, although this mysterious magnetic heavy sword weighing more than 150 kilograms is extremely heavy, when Yang Jin swings it, the sword seems to become as light as a feather.
The heavy weight of the Xuanci epee did not make his movements stiff, but made him more comfortable. His body seemed to be integrated with the epee, and every swing of the sword was as natural as flowing water.
The Xuan Chong Sword flew freely in his hand, as if it had become light and weightless. His movements seemed effortless, as if he was waving a feather, extremely light and swift.
Now, his sword skills can be as smooth as flowing water, as steady as mountains, and as fast as wind and thunder.
Now if he holds the mysterious magnetic epee and uses the epee sword technique with all his strength, the power will be three points greater than what he used with the Qinghong Sword before.
Not only is the aura as powerful as a rainbow and unparalleled in dominance, not only does the sword light flash like a shooting star, but the sword power is as fierce and fierce as a huge wave in the sky.
The hurricane created by the swing of the heavy sword was even more like a whirlpool. There was no room for retreat and avoidance, so we could only fight him head-on.
But if we were to compete head-on with him, with Yang Jin's current sixth level of blood-coagulation and body-tempering, with blood as mercury and marrow as frost, and a super-strong physique with infinite strength, he would be a master of the sixth-grade Condensation Soul Realm. Not necessarily his opponent!
In particular, he also learned many sword principles of thrusting, counterattack, horizontal cutting, and reverse slashing while practicing the epee technique, which made his basic swordsmanship reach a higher level.
Not only did it greatly increase his combat power, but it also made him feel surprised and happy, and he became more interested in practicing the heavy sword method.
Therefore, during this period, as long as his blood calmed down and his physical strength recovered, he would continue to practice wielding the heavy sword in his hand.
Sometimes it took too long to perform with one hand and his arms were sore and numb, so he would draw the bow from left to right and use the other arm, as if he was going crazy.
In addition to eating and sleeping, he was constantly boxing and practicing swordsmanship. The sweat on his bare upper body was wet and dry. After a long time, Yang Jin's whole body felt as if he had been fished out of the water.
However, with Tai Chi and Situ Nan's secret methods of listening to the breath to strengthen the energy and the method of unblocking the meridians and activating the collaterals, his mental energy and blood could be restored quickly, and he has always maintained a sufficient and vigorous state.
Coupled with enough medicated meals and meat every day, as well as twice the amount of blood- and qi-tonifying nutritious liquid injected into his body, his physical strength has always been able to support such a high-intensity practice.
In the past few days, although Yang Jin had devoted himself to the practice of the heavy sword, he had also been concerned about Pei Ying and the others' dealing with Zhang Mingzhi.
It's just that now he is suddenly blind, unable to move and unable to contribute. He can only stay in the city and patiently wait for news from Pei Ying and the others.
However, the news that Pei Ying and the others were dealing with Zhang Mingzhi had not yet come. Yang Feiyan, who had stayed outside the city to support Pei Ying and the others and was temporarily in charge of affairs, brought him unexpected news.
"What? You said that Old Ghost Fang confessed that the reason why they came to Pingyang City with that old fox Zhang Youfu this time was because there were traces of the rare treasure in the world, the "Jade Crystal Ice Toad"?"
Yang Jin did not expect that the old guy Zhang Youfu, Fang Laogui, Feng Sanniang and others came to Pingyang City this time for this reason.
Yang Feiyan nodded and said: "Yes, sir! The old guy Fang Wuxue told me that Zhang Youfu got the news about the appearance of the rare treasure "Jade Crystal Ice Toad" around Pingyang City from the mouth of Wan Tai, the chief steward of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building. heard.
During this period of time, I also sent people to secretly pay attention to the whereabouts of Wantai, and found that he had been searching for something outside the city from last year to now.
It can be seen from this that the appearance of the Jade Crystal Ice Toad outside Pingyang City is most likely true! "
Needless to say, Yang Feiyan knew that this matter was most likely true.
"No wonder Zhang Youfu left in a hurry when he came back from Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building that day. I thought he was too seriously injured and just escaped to recover from his injuries. It turned out that he was going to move reinforcements and find help.
No wonder, when they came back that day, they kept talking about what big thing they were going to do. It turned out that this big thing was to find the world's rare treasure "Jade Crystal Ice Toad"!
It's no wonder that Wan Tai, the chief steward of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, let the leader and deputy leader of the Youlong Gang be killed. The Youlong Gang was destroyed and I, a thorn in his side, ignored him and spent the whole day outside the city.
It turned out that he had been looking for traces of the Jade Crystal Ice Toad outside the city during this period. With such a treasure in front of him, naturally nothing else mattered! "
After hearing Yang Feiyan's news and combining it with the clues he knew, Yang Jin knew that the news that rare treasures like the Jade Crystal Ice Toad, which could rival the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, appeared around Pingyang City was true.
"Sir, since the news that the world's rare jade crystal ice toad appears outside the city is true, and we now have enough manpower outside the city.
Then shall we..."
"Need not!"
Before Yang Feiyan could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by Yang Jin. He knew what Yang Feiyan meant, but he didn't intend to wade into this muddy water.
He said: "The most precious treasure in the world, such as the Jade Crystal Ice Toad, is not something that little people like us can covet!
The so-called treasures in the world are found by those with virtue, but our strength is too small. Even if we really find this thing, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing!
Maybe this will lead to disaster and death!
Therefore, we have the right to pretend that we don’t know about this matter, and we will never get involved in this matter in the future. Do you understand? "
Yang Jin now wants to practice with peace of mind, reach the ultimate state of the ninth level of blood coagulation and body quenching as soon as possible, restore his eyesight, and see the light again.
Therefore, he knew how precious the world's most valuable treasures, such as the Jade Crystal Ice Toad, was, but he did not want to interfere carelessly.
"I understand, sir!"
After hearing Yang Jin's strong objection and stating that he did not want to get involved in the Jade Crystal Ice Toad matter, Yang Feiyan left.
She is completely devoted to Yang Jin now. Now that Yang Jin has made a decision, she will naturally obey his orders.
But within two days, she came to the stolen goods warehouse again to find Yang Jin, and this time she brought the good news that Yang Jin had been waiting for nearly half a month.
That is Zhang Mingzhi, the sixth-level master of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Hanshan Sword Sect, "Cold-faced Hanxing", who was captured by Pei Ying, Cao Fang and the others through a trick!
"Sir, Pei Ying, Cao Fang and others followed the plan you made before and first made that man weak in power and exhausted.
Then, when the man was unprepared, they used their specialty and gave him a roll stew.
Not only did he steal all the person's luggage, but also all the weapons in his hands. This naturally made the person furious and chased him with all his strength.
They easily lured the person into a trap according to your instructions, and led the person into the trap and ambush that you had set long ago.
As soon as the man was trapped in the trap, Pei Ying and the others activated the trap's mechanism according to the mechanism that you had already told me.
The trap was just as the young master said. Once the mechanism was pressed, it would explode and collapse. After the trap collapsed, the man was naturally buried in the ruins.
However, the explosion power of this trap seems to be smaller than the one you made last time, sir, and that person's luck is also better than the previous two.
Although he was seriously injured, his limbs were not mutilated. He was only knocked unconscious by the explosion and buried inside.
It’s just that our ears seemed to be deafened. After we went in from the secret passage and took him out of the coma, the man couldn’t hear what we said after he woke up! "
After Yang Jin listened carefully to what Yang Feiyan said about Pei Ying and Cao Fang's plan to capture Zhang Mingzhi, the "cold-faced cold star", he originally planned to take time to meet Zhang Mingzhi in the next two days and interrogate him about some things.
But when I heard that his ears were also deafened by explosives, I naturally had no interest in seeing him again.
