In Yunxiao Mountain.
Under the night, Zhang Yao looked up at the vast starry sky, and at the same time looked at the invisible light curtain in front of him:
Name: Zhang Yao
Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence
Martial Arts: Qingxu Zhenjing (100%)
Martial skills: Heaven-turning hand (100%), Tianzi Jiuda (100%), Xiangzhen Gang (100%)
Skills: Mastery of medicinal materials (95%), alchemy (77%), medical skills (96%), chess skills (80%), cooking skills (62%), calligraphy (74%), disguise skills (91%)...
"Twenty years!"
Zhang Yao sighed, his heart filled with melancholy.
Over the past twenty years, he has continuously perfected and integrated his own martial arts into a "Qingxu Zhenjing", named after his Taoist name when he was a boy. Dafa".
This is the pinnacle achievement of his martial arts in his life, and it can be called the only magical skill in the Nineteen Prefectures. Once spread, I don't know how much bloodshed it will cause.
Including his martial arts, he has long been innovative, freed from the original shackles, and found his own way.
In particular, "Xian Zhen Gang" is a special method that purely uses the true energy of martial arts. Its power is astonishing. Apart from him, I am afraid that only masters of the level of "Ye Di" and "Chang Chun Zi" are qualified. Practice.
The long years have brought him a lot of life skills, and the list is so long that it can be arranged in several lines.
“Before I know it, I will be seventy years old.”
"I have truly touched the end of martial arts. The progress in the past two years has been minimal, but I am still far away from the immortal path..."
Zhang Yao came back to his senses and sighed, his mood regained his composure.
Since leaving White River City alone twenty years ago:
He has been mentally prepared to spend a long time touching the world of the Immortal Family bit by bit. It has only been twenty years now, and he is not impatient.
"Next, it's time to divert to Cangmang Mountain."
His thoughts turned to this and he showed a smile:
"I'm really looking forward to that guy giving me a surprise..."
…………
To the north of Qinzhou, in the vast mountains.
After passing the mountain road with nine twists and turns, you can see a majestic walled city hidden deep in the mountains.
The scale of the walled city is very huge, comparable to some small county towns, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. This is Qinzhou's famous "Cangmang City".
Speaking of Cangmang City, it is also quite legendary.
Decades ago, at the end of the Wei Dynasty, the world was in chaos. A group of refugees fled into the mountains to avoid being hunted, but unexpectedly discovered that there was a small valley plain in the vast mountains that stretched for thousands of miles. The water flowed and the products were abundant. The leader of the refugee army was overjoyed and decided to take root.
Decades have passed:
Cangmang City continues to absorb refugees and encourage births. It has been passed down from father to son for three generations, with tens of thousands of people under its command. Its foundation is prosperous, and it is like a small country within a country.
After the establishment of the Lu State, the officials of Qinzhou tried to organize large-scale army encirclement and suppression several times, but in the end they all failed.
The fundamental reason is that the contemporary Lord of Cangmang City, "Nie Luncai", is a prodigy in martial arts. He reached the realm of Grandmaster at the age of forty-eight and became a powerful figure in Qinzhou.
Seven years ago, Nie Lun became the Grand Master. Relying on his own strength, prestige and the foundation of Cangmang City, he quickly unified the three states of Green Forest, and was honored as the Seventy-Two Land and Water Master Ladle, with a great reputation.
Recently, it was Nie Luncai's fifty-fifth birthday, and Cangmang City held a grand banquet. The flowing water banquet lasted for a whole month, and the excitement was extremely lively.
Major families, sects, and even dignitaries in Qinzhou, as well as many heroes from the green forests of the three states, came to celebrate his birthday, turning the mountains into a bustling city, which shows the great influence of Nie Luncai.
It was precisely because he had to receive so many important guests that Nie Luncai couldn't get away for a while, so that after the Ye Emperor's secret treasure appeared in the world, he couldn't get away for a long time.
"Hahaha, everyone drinks!"
"Come and drink this cup!"
"City Lord Nie has incredible martial arts skills, how can he be afraid of being drunk? Let us brothers give City Lord Nie another drink..."
The Cangmang City at night is still brightly lit and noisy everywhere.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such a lively city was hidden deep in the mountains.
Nie Luncai, who lingered at various banquets until late at night, finally had some free time and returned to his residence drunk.
"Well……"
He burped, his face was red, and he staggered towards the bedroom.
His face looked to be in his thirties, and his appearance was quite handsome. Just like his name, he looked like an elegant scholar.
As a majestic martial arts master, Nie Lun is unlikely to get drunk. This situation can only mean that he enjoys it and enjoys the feeling of being drunk.
At least that's how the guests and subordinates viewed it.
"call!"
After returning to the dormitory, Nie Lun took a deep breath. The blush on his face immediately faded, and he regained consciousness.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
He looked at the empty bedroom, showing a hint of anxiety.
Being unable to leave when receiving guests is just an excuse. If he really wants to leave, who would dare to blame a martial arts master?
The real reason why he stayed in Cangmang City and didn't pursue the Ye Emperor's secret was actually because he was waiting for someone.
Someone who filled him with fear and awe.
"If that old monster doesn't come, I'm afraid I won't have a share in the Night Emperor's secret treasure!"
Nie Luncai paced around the room impatiently for a moment, unable to calm down, so he slowly came to the bedside and opened a secret compartment.
In the dark grid, there is a round metal ball.
He looked at the metal ball, his expression immediately calmed down, he picked up the metal ball and played with it, his eyes complex.
If you hadn't touched it with your own hands, it would be hard to believe that this ordinary iron ball was several times heavier than ordinary copper and iron, and much heavier than the same volume of gold.
"Invincible in the world, invincible in the world..."
Nie Luncai sighed and couldn't help but recall the meeting seven years ago.
Seven years ago, he had just become the overlord of the three-state green forest and the master of the seventy-two land and water areas. It was a time when he was satisfied and ready to continue to show off his great achievements.
It was at that time that one night, in front of his bed, he met the silver-faced old monster.
The silver-faced old monster asked him to do something for him when he opened his mouth. He used the green forest manpower spread across the three states to collect some specific information, which would be compiled regularly every three years, waiting for him to inspect it.
Of course he didn't agree at first. He just felt that the other party's martial arts were unfathomable, so he wanted to use words to argue with him, and then wait for an opportunity to make a move.
But what happened next overturned his imagination and made him unforgettable forever:
The silver-faced old monster took out a sword from his room, kneaded it into an iron ball in front of him, and then used terrifying infuriating energy to compress the iron ball.
The iron ball, which was the size of an adult's fist, was gradually crushed into the size of a baby's fist in the hands of the silver-faced old monster.
This scene immediately frightened him.
Only a fellow master can deeply understand how terrifying this move is.
Nie Luncai still can't imagine how much powerful Qi is needed to penetrate into the depths of steel, and cooperate with Pei Ran's powerful force to complete the miracle of compressing steel?
He couldn't do it anyway, and ten more of them working together wouldn't be able to do such an outrageous thing.
So he knelt down on the spot, bowed his head obediently, and agreed to do things for the silver-faced old monster without daring to shirk in the slightest.
If the silver-faced old monster uses some elixir or poison to control him, then there is still hope for him to break free.
But the silver-faced old monster just showed off his earth-shattering martial arts in front of him, and he immediately despaired.
Faced with such terrifying and unimaginable martial arts:
There is no use for him to hide in the sky and on the earth, or in the palace. If the silver-faced old monster wants to kill him, no one in the world can save him.
