Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 584 Calmness
Manager Shang and Zhao Feng stood quietly beside Li Xuan, waiting for the strange phenomenon to end.

Zhu Wufeng's body was decomposing faster and faster, and even the two stewards frowned slightly.

The top three warriors will experience this strange phenomenon after their death because the true energy in their bodies is too pure.

This is also called the "Five Elements Cycle" by them.

A warrior's strength comes from the power of the five elements that make up this world.

Generally speaking, the more power of the five elements of heaven and earth a warrior accumulates in his body, the stronger he will be.

But one day, this power will have to be returned to this world.

It's just that the process of warriors below the top three ranks and ordinary people entering the Five Elements Cycle is relatively slow, and is far from being as direct as the fall of the top three ranks.

The two stewards had seen many top-three-rank warriors fall in their lives, but today was the first time they encountered someone who could interfere with the process of the Five Elements Reincarnation.

But when they thought about Li Xuan's peculiarity, they all felt it was understandable.

"I heard that people with destiny always have some special features. Maybe this is what makes Ah Xuan different."

"Of course, there are so many special things about Xuan."

Manager Shang sighed softly.

After half an hour, Zhu Wufeng's body was completely decomposed, leaving no other trace except for lush vegetation.

Li Xuan's body, floating in the air, slowly fell down.

He stood on the ground, and his whole body felt a little unreal, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and felt dizzy.

Li Xuan took a few deep breaths to ease the uncomfortable feeling.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a distinct green light flashing in his pupils.

But the green light flashed only for a moment and soon disappeared, leaving Li Xuan back to his normal appearance.

"Ah Xuan, how do you feel?"

Manager Shang asked with concern.

"Good meow!"

"The best meow ever!"

Not sure if it was his illusion, Li Xuan felt that he spoke much more fluently.

Not to mention that the Yin and Yang Qi in his body was now extremely full, and the speed at which he ran his exercises was much faster than usual.

Li Xuan couldn't help but stomped on the ground with his cat claws. The next moment, a thick green bamboo rose up in front of him, making a muffled "woo" sound, and the power was amazing.

"This is!?"

Both stewards couldn't help showing shock.

That’s right, now Li Xuan can actually use bamboo-attributed true qi easily, and it is very powerful.

The two stewards who had witnessed the previous vision immediately thought of something.

"Ah Xuan, how much power did you absorb from Zhu Wufeng?"

Zhao Feng asked hurriedly.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be the fourth rank, meow."

He couldn't be sure of that yet.

Although Li Xuan had practiced the Yin-Yang Zhen Ji Jue to perfection before, due to the lack of subsequent exercises, he could only rely on the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Zhen Ji Jue to passively improve some Yin-Yang Qi every day.

Otherwise, you can rely on some natural treasures to absorb the pure power of the five elements and then enhance your yin and yang qi.

This speed was naturally much slower than before, which made Li Xuan impatient for a while.

But later, after Mr. Ye's guidance, Li Xuan concentrated on deepening his understanding of the five elements of heaven and earth, and strengthening his ability to evolve various attributes of true qi.

Although there was no new Yin-Yang Qi training method, Li Xuan's cultivation could not progress steadily as before, but he was still able to practice other fifth-grade techniques and deepen his understanding of other attributes.

At that time, in order to enlighten Li Xuan, Mr. Ye told him about many places in the martial arts world where people practiced Yin-Yang Qi, and asked him to visit them when he had the chance in the future, which was also a reminder for him.

Li Xuan originally thought that if he wanted to be promoted to the fourth rank, it would either be through daily accumulation or by chance that he would obtain other Yin-Yang Qi cultivation techniques. However, he did not expect that the one who would help him was his enemy Zhu Wufeng.

"Fourth rank!?"

The two stewards couldn't help but exclaim.

They were also very clear about Li Xuan's cultivation situation.

You have to know that Li Xuan is a man of destiny, and his realm cannot be measured by common sense.

When Li Xuan was at the fifth level, he already had the strength to be invincible among opponents below the third level.

Now that I have taken another step forward, won’t I be able to fight against a true third-grade master?

"only……"

"It doesn't seem like much has changed, meow."

Upon hearing what Li Xuan said, Zhao Feng immediately disagreed:

"How come there is no change? You speak much more fluently now than before."

"You have been talking since just now without transmitting your voice. You must have noticed that the fluctuations of your true energy are drastic, right?"

After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Li Xuan nodded quickly.

The Yin and Yang Qi in his body was now too abundant, making him feel like he couldn't control it well.

However, sound transmission requires a skill of very precise control, and Li Xuan did not dare to use it recklessly in such a state.

"That's right!"

Zhao Feng began to give some popular science lectures while he was speaking.

"The fourth level is called the Calming Qi Realm. When you reach this level, you can completely control your Qi and use it without any waste."

"The three realms of the middle three grades are centered on true qi. The sixth grade cultivates true qi, the fifth grade uses true qi to control qi and transform into form outside the body, and the fourth grade is to fully control it."

"Each realm of the middle three grades will cause earth-shaking changes in the true qi, and the true qi is the key for warriors to connect with the five elements of heaven and earth."

"The third level of Taoism is based on true qi."

"You can figure out the rest slowly."

"By the way, before your Qi is completely calmed down, I advise you not to use it recklessly. After breaking through the fourth level and before completing the first Qi calming period, the Qi that has undergone qualitative changes is very violent."

Li Xuan kept Zhao Feng's words in mind.

It seems that his intuition was not wrong, but he didn't know how long this calming process would take.

After all, Li Xuan still has the identity of Mo Tiansheng outside. If he can't transmit sound, Mo Tiansheng will also lose his voice and disappear for a while.

Li Xuan asked his own question. Zhao Feng said that most people could achieve tranquility in three to five days, but Li Xuan was special after all, so he didn't dare to guarantee it.

Li Xuan had no way to deal with this, but now that Zhu Wufeng was dead, the biggest hidden danger of the Jinqian Gang had been eliminated.

The remaining hall masters now trust Yang Wanli, the new gang leader, very much. Yang Wanli can easily deal with them without any difficulty at all.

"I won't go looking for Yang Wanli these days."

"After Zhu Wufeng's death, the city will probably become more lively."

"It's also a reasonable choice to keep a low profile for a few days."

Li Xuan thought about it in his mind and felt that it was not completely unacceptable to not use true Qi for a few days.

"Well, we can't stay here any longer, it's time to go."

At the order from Manager Shang, they decided to evacuate the place first.

But before leaving, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask:
"Don't worry about these traces, meow?"

What Li Xuan was referring to was naturally the lush vegetation that suddenly grew after Zhu Wufeng died.

"Ah Xuan, look around. If we do something, it will be more conspicuous." After Manager Shang reminded Li Xuan, he immediately realized.

He felt that these traces were special because he witnessed with his own eyes the sudden growth of grass and trees.

But it is so natural to see this patch of grass and trees on this mountain.

“Originally, there should have been more obvious signs after Zhu Wufeng’s death.”

“But after you, Xuan, absorbed Zhu Wufeng’s posthumous Qi, you could hardly see anything abnormal.”

"The five elements of heaven and earth around us were not even disturbed."

"You know, if a powerful third-rank master dies, he can even create treasures of heaven and earth on the spot."

Manager Shang said with a smile.

It turned out that by accident, Li Xuan actually helped to complete the task of destroying the corpse.

The two stewards originally wanted to see whether Zhu Wufeng's death would give rise to any rare treasures.

After all, the strange phenomenon of the fall of the third rank cannot be concealed, and no one can change the laws of the operation of the five elements of heaven and earth.

But the unexpected factor of Li Xuan changed the predetermined outcome.

The two stewards originally wanted to use the news of Zhu Wufeng's death to stir up some trouble in the city.

But judging from the current situation, it might take some effort for King Zheng to confirm Zhu Wufeng's death.

Because according to common sense, the death of a third-grade warrior has always been accompanied by a huge and strange phenomenon.

But this time, because of Li Xuan, the strange phenomenon caused by Zhu Wufeng's fall was so small that it could not be any smaller, and it could even be said that there was no trace at all.

Li Xuan nodded and no longer cared about it.

No one is more professional than the two stewards in this matter.

Li Xuan immediately followed the two stewards to evacuate from the mountain and came to the gathering place not far away.

Here, they found Xu Lang and others who were on full alert.

Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two stewards and Li Xuan coming back.

"Xu Lang, is there anything unusual nearby?"

Zhao Feng came up and asked.

"General Manager, there is nothing unusual." Xu Lang bowed and replied.

"Okay, gather the others, lift the blockade around us, and we will return to the capital immediately."

"Those who stay at the inn will continue to spread the news and evacuate after three days."

Zhao Feng gave the order according to the plan, and Xu Lang did the same immediately, but there was one thing he needed to report:
"Butler, Lord Xuan has captured five secret guards from Prince Zheng's mansion and is guarding them here. Should we take them away as well?"

Xu Lang seemed to be asking a useless question, but his original intention was to remind Zhao Feng of this matter.

Zhao Feng was stunned, frowned and asked Xu Lang: "You mean you caught the secret guard alive?"

Xu Lang nodded immediately. Since Zhao Feng understood the situation, there was nothing for him to do. He felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Feng turned around and looked at Li Xuan in surprise, but knew that this was not the time to go into details.

"Xu Lang, your team will evacuate first with us, and let the others gather and follow."

Originally, the two stewards wanted to take Li Xuan back with them to report.

After all, the three of them are much faster than Xu Lang and the others, and it would be a waste of time to go back with them.

But the situation is different now.

It is rare to capture five secret guards alive, Zhao Feng will not allow any negligence.

Manager Shang nodded silently and had no objection.

Li Xuan finally came to his senses after seeing this scene.

"Are these five people so important?"

Li Xuan only thought that the secret guard was a spy from Prince Zheng's Palace, but he didn't expect Zhao Feng to be so concerned about it.

Shang Zongguan secretly sent a message to Li Xuan, explaining:
"Ah Xuan, you have made great contributions again."

"Before this, no secret guard had ever fallen into our hands alive."

After hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look surprised.

Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng had been fighting for so many years, but Li Xuan thought that they already knew each other well.

I didn't expect that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had never caught any secret guards alive.

Shang Zongguan probably guessed what Li Xuan was thinking, and then transmitted his voice:
"The secret guards of Prince Zheng's palace have received special training. Although their overall strength is not as good as the flowery eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, their reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities are excellent. Moreover, they are loyal to Prince Zheng and are ready to die at any time."

"Even the way he committed suicide was extremely violent, trying to find a few scapegoats before dying, which caused a lot of losses to our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After Manager Shang said this, Li Xuan began to understand a little.

When he dealt with the five secret guards before, he suppressed them right from the start, making them lose the power to resist.

Fortunately, Li Xuan did not underestimate the secret guards, otherwise these five people might not have been kept alive.

"Even if we don't get any information about Prince Zheng's Mansion, just finding out how they committed suicide is a major gain."

Manager Shang looked at the five unconscious secret guards trapped in the crowd and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even Manager Shang himself finds it difficult to describe his feelings at this moment.

This seemed to be the first time they had achieved such a significant gain since the fight with King Zheng.

Zhu Wufeng, a third-rank master who served in the Zheng Palace, died on the spot.

Not only that, they also captured the secret guards of Prince Zheng's Palace who had been causing them so much trouble before.

At this moment, Manager Shang somewhat agreed with Zhao Feng's initial evaluation of Li Xuan.

"It's a blessing from heaven. It's really a blessing from heaven."

Butler Shang turned to look at Li Xuan and waved to him. Li Xuan immediately understood and climbed onto Butler Shang's shoulders and sat comfortably.

"Ah, it's more comfortable to sit on someone else."

Li Xuan was also extremely lazy. He would not walk if he could avoid it, and would never stand if he could lie down.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly when he saw this scene, and immediately took Xu Lang's team and escorted the five unconscious secret guards back to the city.

These secret guards were all drugged by Xu Lang, so they wouldn't wake up for a while, and this also prevented these bastards from causing any more trouble.

That night, the group quietly returned to the palace under the cover of darkness.

Zhao Feng saw with his own eyes the five secret guards being imprisoned in a hidden dungeon, and only then did he feel relieved.

Li Xuan felt a little tired after running around all day and yawned loudly.

But the two stewards did not intend to let him go immediately, but said:

"Ah Xuan, it's not time to sleep yet. How about we go and tell His Majesty the good news and ask for your credit?"

Zhao Feng tempted Li Xuan.

Given Li Xuan's money-loving nature, he knew he could definitely lure Li Xuan into the trap.

As expected, when Li Xuan heard the words "ask for merit", his eyes lit up immediately and he nodded towards the direction of Ganlu Palace repeatedly, as if saying "then what are you waiting for".

The two stewards were amused by Li Xuan's appearance and laughed heartily.

Li Xuan also grinned.

For some reason, everyone is in a particularly good mood today!
