Start practicing archery

Chapter 152: The power of transformation is fully developed, and the war begins again

Chen Mansion, backyard.

"Om-"

"call--"

Siqin stopped at the entrance of the backyard with food and drinks, listening to the noise inside. She was so scared that she didn't dare to get closer. There was only a door between them, but it sounded like a strong wind was blowing inside.

She didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him. She put the things gently at the door and slipped away.

It's late autumn again.

A thick layer of fallen leaves in the yard gradually gathered together as the dragon-like spear danced, and then turned into a golden tornado. Wherever it passed, it shattered one flower bed after another, and crackling sounds continued to ring out.

The dragon-elephant blood in Chen Sanshi's body was boiling and surging, and his five Xuanyuan internal organs were operating at full capacity, maintaining a state of violent blood flow, constantly generating strength, and then infusing the endless strength into the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear.

A journey of martial arts.

One step, one step, one step.

Starting from Qi and blood, if you are worse than others at the beginning, then as your realm becomes higher and higher, the gap between people in the same realm will become larger and larger, eventually forming an insurmountable chasm. This is why the forward selection regarded the bone-touching link as the top priority.

Only warriors with strong physiques can have a more solid foundation in their training.

At this moment.

Chen Sanshi is constantly challenging his limits in order to refine the purity and strength of his power.

The small success of Hua Jin is to add strength to weapons.

When it reaches its peak, the force can be released outwards, forming a circle of force around the weapon, thereby achieving a terrifying attack power. Even if the blade of the weapon does not touch the opponent, it can still cause damage.

If you don't hold a weapon and use your bare hands, you can also rely on your strength to block the blade with your bare hands, provided that you are really stronger than your opponent and will not hurt yourself.

Every time Chen Sanshi thrust out with the spear, he could feel the force applied to the tip of the spear becoming stronger, gradually overflowing from the tip of the spear, and then spreading outwards, constantly consuming it until he was exhausted, draining the last bit of strength from his body.

Then, there is a qualitative change.

After the extreme pain, his body was sublimated again, and the strength generated by his qi, blood and internal organs became more refined. After being added to the Xuanbing, it continued to expand like an extendable sword, until it was transmitted to the tip of the gun, forming an invisible force that stabilized around the sharp blade.

breakthrough!

The power of transformation is fully achieved!

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Transformation of Strength (Great Mastery)]

【Progress: 0/0】

[Effect: ..., True Dragon Power]

[True Dragon Power: Power is as violent as a real dragon]

To put it simply, the strength of an ordinary person is equivalent to adding an invisible sharp blade to the front of a weapon. It is dead and simply has strengths and weaknesses, but has no special properties.

But the power of true dragon force is alive!
"Om-"

Chen Sanshi held the gun barrel horizontally with both hands and exerted more strength. He saw the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear vibrating continuously, especially the buzzing sound at the tip of the gun, as if there were several little dragons circling outside the sharp blade.

He neither used any special moves nor let the tip of the spear actually touch any object. He simply added the True Dragon Power and slowly pushed the spear forward. When it was more than an inch away from a potted plant, the ceramic pot exploded with a loud bang.

The reference object is too weak and the power cannot be intuitively reflected.

If he had to describe it, Chen Sanshi felt that the true dragon power outside the tip of his gun was like a chainsaw, which could attack a second time after making contact with the enemy, and would definitely play a good role in actual combat.

"It's done!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "The next step is to stimulate the meridians."

The exercises to reach Tongmai realm.

Not long after returning to Liangzhou, Sun Li gave it to him. It was still the Zhenguo Dragon Spear, and it was a complete set of skills all the way to the Xuanxiang realm, with comments and insights included.

Since they didn't give it to him all at once before, they must have added these things later.

Say it.

There has been no news since the old master went to the capital. He is a living person, but he has not shown up for almost a year. Including the previous Mingzhou Rebellion, it was rumored that His Majesty almost led the army in person.

I guess there is something more important to do.

But to be honest, even being a master doesn't mean much to his cultivation.

As the saying goes, "A master can only lead you to the door, but practice is up to you."

The skills have been given to him, and precious medicines have been provided to him all the time.

The rest depends on your own efforts.

Speaking of which, Chen Sanshi is not at all frugal when it comes to taking precious medicines. As long as he can digest it, he will keep eating it. After digesting it, each pill is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, which even most officials can hardly afford.

At first.

The master asked him to reach the level of Martial Saint within three years.

Now, a year has passed, and there are still two major realms to go: Tongmai, Xuanxiang, and finally the Martial Saint.

There are enough resources in, probably...

almost?
We can only do our best and obey fate.

After taking a short rest, Chen Sanshi ate the food placed at the door, then returned to the house, locked the door, took out the black beads filled with white mysterious energy and purple incense, and began to practice sword energy.

Once you are sure that you are only practicing magic and will not be affected by the incense, you can naturally use it with confidence.

Chen Sanshi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated.

He held the black bead in his hand, and under the guidance of his spiritual roots, he continuously introduced the energy of incense into his body, and then circulated it within the meridians according to the methods of sword energy.

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Introduction)]

【Progress: 435/500】

During this period, I practiced martial arts during the day and magic at night. My proficiency in sword skills was constantly improving and I was about to make a breakthrough.

The only pity is.

The amount of incense is not enough, and it is unknown how long it will be used. Moreover, after this incident, Ciyu Temple will probably be on guard, and it will not be so easy to take action again.

Mention this.

Chen Sanshi couldn't help but think of Ningxiang's words again.

Something is going to happen in the capital.

What kind of trouble would the Xiangshen Cult dare to cause in the capital?
"Damn it."

Chen Sanshi thought that he might have to go to Beijing on a mission in a while, so he might just happen to make it.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was worrying too much.

The imperial court has eight martial saints, which are eight generals. There are currently two in the capital, and that’s not counting the eunuchs in the imperial palace.

These eunuchs should not be underestimated.

Those who are selected from the imperial palace to obtain resources are all of top-notch physique.

Plus there is Emperor Longqing whose strength is unknown.

It may not be that easy for the Xiangshen Cult to cause trouble in the capital...

Before I knew it, another night had passed.

It was almost three in the morning when Chen Sanshi lay down to rest. When he got up in the morning, he saw Siqin Mohua starting another busy day, either changing diapers or cooking for his wife.

Chen Yunxi was sitting at the stone table in the yard reading and learning to read.

It really became a lively family.

"How about it?"

Chen Sanshi sat down next to the girl and asked, "How many words do you know, Xixi? Are you happy in the Governor's Mansion? Have you been bullied?"

Chen Yunxi shook her head. "My pretty uncle bought me candied haws every day and said she would make me some fancy clothes in a few days. The brothers and sisters inside also like to play with me. There is also a teacher who taught me how to read."

"Mr. Zhuang was a juren in the past."

Chen Sanshi said, "He became a private school teacher in the Governor's Mansion because he couldn't stand the atmosphere in the court. He is very capable. You should learn from him."

"But Dad, I'm not talking about Mr. Zhuang." Chen Yunxi shook his head: "I'm talking about another gentleman."

"Another gentleman?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Master Li?"

Chen Yunxi shook his head again: "He is a young gentleman."

"..."

Chen Sanshi has been to the Governor's Mansion quite often recently, but he has never seen any young teachers in the private school.

He asked, "Are you sure it's someone from the Supervisor's Mansion?"

"Correct."

Chen Yunxi nodded: "He also asked Xixi what she wanted to do when she grew up."

"What did you say?"

"I said, I want to help Dad."

"What can you help me with?"

"I don't know."

"..."

Chen Sanshi didn't think much about it.

It is normal to have a young talent in the Governor's Mansion.

After patting the girl's head, he went out to the military camp. Now that he had some free time, he should learn how to make strength-tempering medicine to see what effect it had and improve his proficiency.

If only there was a way to improve the strength of the brothers below.

Zhao Kang and the others are good in everything except their realm.

Besides.

Lu Ji and others also came back one after another.

Zhao Wuji was still alive, but in a very miserable state. His entire army was wiped out, and he was the only one left who managed to seize the horse and return, luckily keeping his life.

Lu Ji and others also rewarded people according to their merits.

And I heard that there is a war in the east, which started not long ago.

Calculating the time, it was almost when Mingzhou was just defeated that the Dongqing Kingdom in the east took action. They wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Dasheng Dynasty to launch a quick attack. As a result, just as they started, the Four Crossings of the Hongze River ended...

Dong Qing Kingdom was completely stunned. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. They had no choice but to continue fighting.

They just found out about all this.

There is no Great Wall separating the borders of Dongqing and Dasheng, and there is trade between them on weekdays. Many merchants have settled their families on both sides, and it seems that there are no major conflicts. However, the grievances between the two countries have existed for a long time.

The eight westernmost states of Dongqing were once the territory of Dasheng!
When Da Sheng was founded, Emperor Taizu Cao Xie ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at Ziwei Mountain in Dongqing Kingdom. Later, during the reign of Emperor Xuanming, the country was attacked from all sides at the same time. Dongqing Kingdom successfully took a piece of the pie and agreed to send troops to help Da Sheng fight against the Northern Barbarians and Southern Xu, on the condition that the eight states would completely belong to Dongqing. Since then, Dongqing has gradually gained a foothold in the eight states and has become completely stronger.

At that time, the Dasheng Dynasty was at its peak. Losing so much land at once, including the royal ancestral temple and Ziwei Mountain, was a heavy blow to the country.

From then on, the Great Sheng Dynasty began to decline.

At that time, everyone in Dasheng, even the common people, felt extremely ashamed. This incident was also called the Xuanming Shame.

Later, successive emperors of Dasheng all made it their ultimate goal to recover the eight eastern states, but no one was able to do it, and by now the state is in tatters. If it weren't for the many brave generals and large population, they probably wouldn't have been able to cope with the powerful enemies surrounding them on all sides.

Eunuch Hou revealed that the reason why His Majesty did not summon him to the capital was that he was going to wait until the war in the east was over, and then gather all the meritorious officials together for rewards. Moreover, the current situation is very good. It is impossible to recover all eight states, but it is possible to recover Ziwei Mountain. At that time, he can reward them after offering sacrifices to the ancestors in Ziwei Mountain. It will be a great honor for both the royal family and the ministers.

The Sword of the Nation...

After the military camp roll call, the morning was still filled with routine drills.

Chen Sanshi said he was a lieutenant general, but after the reserve battalion returned from Mingzhou... there were still about a thousand people. Subsequent personnel expansion would need to wait until the expansion was completed and then be redistributed.

And this military expansion will be quite special.

According to the information currently received, four camps will be expanded next.

Each regular battalion has four divisions in front, back, left and right, each with 4,000 men, so one battalion has 16,000 men. The four battalions add up to 64,000 men. Moreover, in the Battle of Mingzhou, both the Tianlang Battalion and the Yunzhong Battalion suffered heavy losses and also needed reinforcement of personnel.

It would be impossible to gather so many people in such a short period of time.

If you want to generate combat effectiveness quickly, the best way is to transfer personnel from the surrounding garrisons. This also requires careful calculation to prevent the hole from being too big at one time, which would result in robbing Peter to pay Paul.

"Jiang Tiling!"

Chen Sanshi came to the pharmacy and said with a fist: "Thank you for your trouble!"

"It's not a big deal. I just need to boil some medicine. But..."

Jiang Tiling looked him up and down and said, "Master Chen has come to learn the power-hardening medicine. Doesn't that mean he has already achieved a small or even a great level of power?"

Chen Sanshi did not deny it.

"How long has it been..."

Jiang Ti Ling said in disbelief: "Your cultivation speed is so fast that even General Lu is not as fast as you. From the current point of view, I am afraid that only the young commander and... and the third young master can be as fast as you."

"I don't dare to compare myself with Master and Third Brother."

Chen Sanshi said: "I was able to catch up with you only by relying on precious medicine. In fact, I am still far behind."

"Master Chen, don't be too modest. Okay, let's get started."

Jiang Tiling sat down in front of the stove and said, "I will demonstrate it three times. Please watch carefully, Master Chen!"

"Om-"

As he spoke, he began to mobilize the strength in his body and added it to his palms. Then, he transferred it into the specially made black iron furnace. With the dual blessing of fierce fire and strong strength, he refined the toxins in the medicine and extracted the essence of the herbs.

“The level of strength-tempering medicine among the alchemists in the world can be roughly divided into three levels.

“If you can’t even cultivate external strength, then you are third-rate.

“A second-rate pharmacist can brew a tonic that can remove 60% of the toxicity, leaving the remaining 40%.

"For a first-rate alchemist, the remaining percentage is 20 to 30 percent.

“Of the world’s top alchemists, only 10% remain. These experts are basically in the Imperial Hospital. The precious medicines that Lord Chen takes on a daily basis are made by them.

"I am not a talented person. I have been interested in practicing medicine since I was young. Later, I learned that tempering medicine requires strength, so I also practiced martial arts. Now I practice every day, and after most of my life, I am only a first-class alchemist, and I am still far from being a top alchemist."

Imperial Hospital...

Chen Sanshi suddenly thought of it.

If the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were all masters above the level of Hua Jin, wouldn't that be an extremely terrifying fighting force at the critical moment?
Is this a doctor?

"Alright!"

"boom!"

"Om-"

Jiang Tiling's hand movements were dazzling, and it looked like a separate martial art.

But it's not.

He was just using strength purely, not some kind of martial arts. The biggest difficulty lies in the amount of strength and duration, as well as the coordination between it and the heat. Then, every time a tonic is brewed, it needs to be changed again.

Therefore, it is a technical job, and more importantly, it is a job that requires patience.

"Jiang Tiling, you are..."

Chen Sanshi looked at the other person's muscles: "Vajra body?"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Tiling did not stop his movements: "The Vajra Strength cultivated by the Vajra Body is actually not suitable for practicing medicine. Otherwise, I might be able to become a master of alchemy!"

Soon, it was done three times.

Precious tonic medicine for the internal organ refining realm was produced from the first furnace and eight camps.

Then, Jiang Tiling displayed the tonics from other realms, each type three times.

"If Master Chen is really willing to learn and has the spare time to make medicine, it would be a good thing."

Jiang Ti Ling sighed and said, "After all, there is a threshold for making strength-quenching medicine. In fact, only a few of us old guys in the pharmacy can do it. There are so many people in the team, how can I handle it?"

Even if the personnel are not complete, the elite battalion still has tens of thousands of people.

Chen Sanshi estimated that there were only four or five people in the pharmacy who knew how to make strength-tempering medicine.

Therefore, these medicinal materials are basically prepared for military commanders above the level of refining internal organs. There are also many tonics for ordinary military commanders, but they are all made by ordinary people like Doctor Jiang, and the effects are not good.

Of course, this is also relative.

Compared with Poyang County, the resources here can be regarded as a "paradise" level.

After Chen Sanshi learned how to make strength-quenching medicine, he decided to practice it. He just happened to boil medicinal materials for his subordinates. This not only improved their medical proficiency, but also improved their strength, killing two birds with one stone.

After watching Jiang Tiling's demonstration, with the combined effects of [Heart of the Qilin] and [Photographic Memory], he firmly engraved the methods of refining each tonic in his mind.

then.

Chen Sanshi asked for a room in the pharmacy to be used as his future alchemy room, and immediately began to practice strengthening the medicine.

After getting the hang of it, it’s not as difficult as I imagined.

Moreover, his true dragon power seemed to be of great help in tempering the medicine.

It seems that the purer the strength, the better the effect of quenching medicine.

But how many people with the body of a martial saint are willing to be a pharmacist? Therefore, there is a shortage of alchemy masters.

Practice for several days.

Chen Sanshi mastered the preparation process of several tonics, and then invited Jiang Tiling to identify them.

"So fast?!"

Jiang Tiling picked up the porcelain bowl, put it to his lips and took a sip. After the medicine went down his throat, shock appeared on his face. He widened his eyes and said, "Master Chen, you, you have only been able to reach the level of a second-rate alchemist in just a few days?"

"real or fake?"

The other alchemists who came to join in the fun also tasted it one by one and showed the same expression.

"I have long said that those with the physique of a martial saint are all born to be alchemists!"

"I'm so envious!"

"It's gone, it's gone!"

"I will practice hard after I go back. If I can reach the Xuan Xiang realm in the future and use Gang Qi to refine medicine, I will still have a chance to impact the realm of the Grandmaster of Refining Medicine!"

"..."

"Sir, this is..."

Zhao Kang and others were called over and looked at the medicine stove in front of them.

"I will often take time to make medicine for you in the future."

Chen Sanshi personally served them the medicinal soup: "If we can kill some strange beasts in the mountains later, I will give you some. Practice hard and strive to have more internal organs and one or two transformation powers this year."

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Kang clasped his fists and bowed: "We will definitely not let you down!"

Feng Yong drank the medicine in one gulp. "Your Excellency's medicine is almost as good as the one prepared by the pharmacist. Normally, we have to queue up to get this medicine, but Your Excellency can actually make it himself!"

This is what Chen Sanshi said.

But in fact, I know clearly in my heart that the most I can do is to exert a transformation force.

Although there are still several geniuses such as Bai Tingzhi and Lu Shuhua available.

But even if these people are willing to follow him now, they will definitely be separated when the positions are divided after the camp expansion is completed.

How could it be possible to entrust several martial saints to him alone as his subordinates?
So in the end, we still have to rely on the old brothers.

If your physical condition is not good enough, you can only make up for it with medicinal herbs!

[Skills: Medical Skills. General (Proficient)]

[Progress: 895/1000] The recent improvement in proficiency is basically due to the strength-tempering medicine. I wonder what effect it will have after it has achieved a small success.

After boiling the medicinal materials, Chen Sanshi took his bow and arrow to the shooting range to practice archery.

[Skill: Archery (Great Mastery)]

[Progress: (1550/2000)]

My archery skills are not far from a breakthrough.

It is also worth mentioning that Sun Buqi has been practicing archery with him frequently recently, and his level has finally improved. With a 15-stone bow in his hand, he can basically hit the target within 70 or 80 steps.

After the morning exercise.

In the afternoon, Chen Sanshi led a team of people into the city for patrol.

When I was passing the training ground next to me, I saw Cao Fan practicing martial arts. It seemed that he had made a breakthrough and mastered the Hua Jin technique.

See this one.

Chen Sanshi couldn't help but recall what happened a few nights ago.

Are you really going to let the Xiangshen Cult just go like this?
I heard that the "uncle master" from Ciyu Temple has come to Liangzhou. When I go for the routine inspection in the afternoon, maybe I can take the opportunity to meet him and find out where he is from.

……

"Huff, huff...

Cao Fan put down his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his face turned blood red, revealing an unnatural paleness.

"Congratulations, Prince, for your breakthrough!"

Sha Wenlong, who was in charge of sparring, put down his knife and said, "If I remember correctly, Lu Shuhua and the others are only at the entry level of Hua Jin Kung Fu, while Xie Sishu and Yan Changqing are still at the stage of perfecting the internal organs. The prince has already suppressed them by two levels."

"Where's Chen Sanshi?"

Cao Fan coughed and asked, "Has he also reached the state of Hua Jin? Otherwise, how could he have made it to Meishan Prefecture?"

"This……"

Sha Wenlong replied hesitantly, "It is indeed transformed into energy."

"Getting started? No…"

Cao Fan frowned: "It should be proficient, right?"

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

After the selection of forwards, in order to maintain the suppression of his realm, he even sacrificed his lifespan to practice extremely powerful techniques to improve quickly, but the result is now.

The fame and honor belong to the other party.

In terms of realm, I'm afraid the opponent has caught up and we're on par!
"Sir..."

Sha Wenlong did not answer.

Cao Fan's face froze, and he asked, "What do you mean, is there more?"

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter."

Sha Wenlong changed the subject and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can go back to the capital first. Now there are opportunities to make military achievements with the bandits in the south and the Dongqing Kingdom in the east. There is no need to stay in the north."

"Eunuch Feng!"

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Cao Fan turned to his close companion and said, "Tell me the truth, could it be that he has achieved a minor breakthrough?!"

"Prince, you must be mentally prepared."

Eunuch Feng smiled bitterly and said, "A few hours ago, I heard people in the pharmacy saying that he seemed to have achieved a small success in his transformation skills, or maybe even a great success..."

"puff--"

Cao Fan felt as if something was blocking his chest. His vision went dark, and he fell backwards with the world spinning around him. Blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Sir!"

Sha Wenlong hurriedly supported him.

"Hey, Prince!"

Eunuch Feng was so anxious that he almost cried. He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his body while searching for precious medicine to heal his wounds.

The prince's way of cultivation was already harmful to his body, and now his anger was taking its toll on his mind. The combination of the two made him unable to bear it and he collapsed.

"Why, why..."

After a long time, Cao Fan opened his eyes again: "He has only practiced martial arts for two years, why is the heaven so unfair! I only sleep for two hours a day and rely on medicinal herbs to maintain my energy. Isn't that enough? Am I not working hard enough..."

"His Royal Highness."

Sha Wenlong said helplessly: "This man is a monster. The talents he has shown now are no less than those of Sun Xiangzong back then. There is really no need to compare with him."

"Yes, Prince."

Eunuch Feng echoed, "You are a noble royal family, why bother to compete with a common man for a moment of courage? Even if he is very powerful, what can he do? Commander Sun is the best warrior in the world, but isn't he a subject of the Cao family?"

"what……"

Cao Fan couldn't breathe.

That's the problem.

He is not the only heir.

It's just the highest ranking in name only.

If one does not have outstanding achievements and extraordinary talents, he will be replaced by other brothers at any time.

this point.

It's not just him.

Even his father is like this!

The Crown Prince has been regent for forty years, and hasn't he been working hard every day?
Uncles, which one of you is not secretly eyeing the position of the crown prince?
Cao Fan had seen his father handle official business until the middle of the night countless times. On weekdays, he also had to deal with attacks from all sides, and his health was getting worse day by day.

Especially after ten days in Yunzhou.

There was a very important change in the court.

The emperor grandfather, who has been obsessed with Taoism for more than 20 years, has begun to spend less and less time in seclusion and has spent more and more time handling government affairs, as if he is ready to rebuild the country.

But the problem is...

My father has been regent for forty years, and his influence is widespread across the government and the country.

Cao Fan had been familiar with history books since childhood, so he naturally knew that there would be a bloody storm in the court next.

What’s even more terrifying is that Grandpa Huang’s health is said to be getting better day by day.

Calculate your age.

The Emperor is ninety-eight years old this year, a centenarian!

On the other hand, his father, the king, had been regent for forty years and had long since collapsed from exhaustion.

To put it bluntly...

It is still uncertain who will outlast whom.

Cao Fan originally thought that if he could achieve something in the northern border, he could lay a solid foundation for himself and help his father solve his problems, but...

But Chen Sanshi happened to appear!

For decades!

When has such a monster ever appeared in the whole world?
It’s so unfair! It’s so unfair!
"Eunuch Feng, let's go back to the capital..."

finally.

Cao Fan made a hoarse voice: "Let him stay here by himself. He can fight with the Martial Saint and Lu Ji in the future. I am the prince, and I cannot win..."

"well."

Eunuch Feng wiped his tears and said, "We don't want to stay in this shabby place anymore. There's nothing good about it."

"Ah."

Cao Fan's eyes were somewhat empty: "I will go back to the capital to see my father first, and see if he needs me to go to Dongqing, or stay in the court to help..."

"I will help the prince write his resignation letter when I return."

Eunuch Feng choked up and said, "Let's rest in Liangzhou first. We won't practice the fierce sword anymore. Let's practice ordinary sword techniques. You can't fall. Let's go home."

……

Ciyun Temple.

"Routine inspection!"

Chen Sanshi and Li Qianzong led twenty or thirty people to climb Lingwu Mountain.

At the mountain gate.

An old Taoist who looked to be in his sixties came out to greet them: "I am Xiao Yunzi, the new abbot of Ciyun Temple. I wonder what the two gentlemen would like to check?"

"What else could it be!"

Li Qianzong didn't give a good look: "Get out of the way!"

"Don't go too far!"

Beside the old Taoist, there was a relatively young middle-aged Taoist priest. He said angrily, "You forced my two nephews to death, and that's not enough. What else do you want?"

It's not just him.

The other Taoists from Ciyu Temple who were watching from afar also cast hateful glances at him.

This is also the current situation in Liangzhou.

Many sects are dissatisfied with the actions of the Liangzhou Army.

Some people suspected that the Liangzhou army was just being perfunctory, which is why they couldn't find the person for so long.

Some simply said that it was done by Liangzhou itself and that there was no such thing as Wushen Cult in the world.

"Cut the nonsense!

Li Qianzong was not afraid at all and shouted, "We came here to help you find out why Qiu Mingzi and the other two wanted to commit suicide! Get out of the way!"

"you……"

The middle-aged Taoist wanted to speak, but Yun Xiaozi interrupted him and said, "Junior brother, let the adults come in and check."

"check!"

General Li Qian waved his hand.

Chen Sanshi and others went in immediately.

After walking around twice, he came to the main hall and saw that the incense burner had been replaced. It was no longer the treasure that could plunder incense, but an ordinary incense burner.

The new Yun Xiaozi and the middle-aged Taoist priest at Ciyu Temple were indeed members of the Xianghuo Shen Sect.

Because Chen Sanshi saw the purple incense energy stored in the dantian in their bodies.

Incense Shinto!

The effect of [Qi Observation Technique] is like X-ray vision, and these people will reveal their true colors in front of him.

He also asked Ningxiang indirectly whether they could detect whether others were practicing magic or the way of immortality. The answer was no. Unless someone had specially practiced the method of detection, or had reached a very high level of immortality, it would be impossible to see the details of others with the naked eye. It could only be felt through physical contact or after a fight.

And the method of changing one's technique often requires mobilizing the mysterious energy in the body.

This pattern can be observed through sword energy techniques and Ningxiang's charm techniques.

The purple incense in Yun Xiaozi and the other person's bodies has been in a dormant state, with no signs of mobilization, which means that they have no way to detect it.

What Chen Sanshi found interesting was.

There are also experts in Ciyu Temple.

They were two young Taoist priests who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

But judging from the energy hidden in their bodies, they are probably at least proficient in the meridian-opening technique.

I have seen these two people before.

Chen Sanshi has a photographic memory and basically remembers every face in Ciyu Temple. The last time he saw these two young Taoists, they were just beginning to practice blood training. How come they have opened up their meridians in less than a year?
It looks like...

It's a change of person.

As for why they looked the same, he guessed that it was probably some kind of disguise.

The small Ciyu Temple is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

Not only that, Yun Xiaozi and others did not notice him. Instead, these two people had been observing him secretly. No one knew where they came from, but what was certain was that they were closely related to the two Taoists who died in prison.

Qiu Mingzi had targeted him during his lifetime.

The news may have been leaked to these two people.

Wushen Cult?
Chen Sanshi still hasn't figured out what was added to the "Yangshen Soup" before. Could it be that the incense and the Yangshen Soup were two different things done by two groups of people?
It is also possible that Qiu Mingzi and his gang are traitors. They are followers of the Xianghuo Shen Sect on the surface, but they are colluding with other forces behind the scenes?

This trip today is worth it.

At least I know someone is watching me, so I can be on guard at all times and not be completely in the dark until danger strikes. Now, I am the active party!
But it seems that I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible. The transformation of energy is far from enough, and the materials for the bow and arrow must be gathered as soon as possible. As long as I hunt down the fierce monster and find the ghost vein wood, theoretically I can put together a hundred-stone bow that can carry strong power, and it is real dragon power!
"Sir, nothing was found!"

"I don't have anything here."

"..."

Soon, a round of search was completed.

"Master Yunxiaozi."

Li Qianzong said expressionlessly: "If you find anything unusual, please be sure to inform us!"

"sure."

Yun Xiaozi performed the Taoist salute and said, "Then I respectfully send you two adults off!"

"Helmsman."

The middle-aged Taoist priest whispered, "I have inquired about the news. It was not done by that prince. He knows nothing about our Divine Religion."

"It's exactly what I expected."

Yun Xiaozi's eyes were gloomy. "It's just that someone is causing trouble at this critical moment. We can't even investigate. It's really worrying. Moreover, this person was able to absorb such a large amount of incense in such a short time. I'm afraid he has a great background!"

"Then Captain, are you still checking?"

"I won't check it. The incense burner is not too little if one is missing."

"What about the Wushen Cult? Are you not investigating? I heard that Qiu Mingzi and his group had been holding some kind of sermon conference, but I don't know what the purpose is."

"I won't investigate anymore. Let's talk about it later. Our most urgent task is to deal with the affairs in the capital first. You and I will leave in a few days."

"Yes, Captain, I understand."

"..."

……

"With me?"

Chen Sanshi noticed the movement behind him.

They were the two young Taoist priests from Ciyu Temple.

However, they did not follow to the end and withdrew when they were almost at Chen's residence. It was obvious that they did not dare to take action in the city.

"It takes several days to go up the mountain, and I am worried about leaving the whole family in the mansion."

"Fortunately, Senior Sister Nine sent me a letter saying that she will be returning to Liangzhou soon after the Yanzhou military is dealt with, so it's a good opportunity to ask her to be a bodyguard."

"master!"

"Daddy!"

"Godfather~"

As soon as Chen Sanshi entered the door, he saw a lively scene in the yard.

Si Qin Mohua was of course there, as were Sun Li's siblings, then Chen Yunxi, and finally Tong who was holding her child.

"Yuhuan is here, come, godfather, give me a hug."

Chen Sanshi picked up the little girl who was about one year old. The first sentence she said after she opened her mouth to learn to speak was "godfather". He didn't know how Tong taught her.

There was a big table of people and a big table of food in the evening.

After the lively meal, they all stayed overnight in the rooms in the front yard. Since they were all women, there was no inconvenience. It saved Chen Sanshi the trouble of coaxing the children and allowed him to concentrate on practicing in the backyard.

The realm of Tongmai!

As the name suggests, opening up the acupoints in the body will store the strength in the meridians just like blood flowing in the vessels. There is no need to stimulate it with Qi and blood after taking action as in the Hua Jin realm. At the same time, it is also the key to laying the foundation for the Xuan Xiang realm. Only after the meridians have been tempered by the strength, will there be a chance to give birth to Gang Qi and then enter the Xuan Xiang realm.

The standing meditation at the Tongmai realm is very complicated, and the breathing method is also changed from the Haoran breathing method to the Wendao breathing method.

Of course, these things are not obstacles at all for Chen Sanshi.

In just two days, he had mastered the Tongmai Qigong method by heart.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Open Meridians (Not yet started)]

【Progress: 5/100】

The writing left by the master said that he should not only practice spearmanship, but also practice all the skills given to him earlier until his meridians are opened, which would be of great benefit to him in the future.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

Basically every type is available.

Chen Sanshi spent five days first mastering the frequently used Zhenyue Sword technique to perfection, and he had to find time for the rest.

After practicing martial arts, you also need to practice magic.

He sat cross-legged, holding the black bead in his hand, absorbing the incense and mysterious energy contained in it. After flowing through the meridians in his body, it gathered on his fingertips through a special circulation. He was just one step away from achieving a breakthrough and mastery.

Unlike the inevitable pain in practicing martial arts, practicing magic is an indescribable experience. Although it doesn't hurt, his right hand, which is making a seal, is shaking uncontrollably. The shadow of the small sword above his fingertips keeps disintegrating and then reorganizing, repeating this cycle over and over again. The incense in the black bead is also consumed at a very fast rate, and it is not until he has completely mastered the mysterious method that he can be considered successful.

"Buzz!"

A small purple sword was suspended in the void.

Compared to when I first got started, the small sword has grown from the size of an embroidery needle to the size of a pocket pendant, and it also looks more solid, unlike before when it was almost a phantom.

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: Cut off the power and break the energy]

"Cut the energy and break the energy?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the entry effects and fell into deep thought.

He had never fought with a warrior in the Xuanxiang realm, so he had no idea how powerful the Gangqi was, or to what extent the Gangqi of the sword technique could be matched. Judging from the feel alone, was he just entering the Xuanxiang realm?

uncertain.

There is no way to try this kind of thing.

When Ninth Senior Sister comes back, I can use the excuse of sparring with her to experience the inner energy, and then I will have a better idea of ​​what to do.

If I remember correctly.

Sha Wenlong was transferred here from other states. His realm was not very high. He was just at the entry level of Xuanxiang realm.

Thinking of this, Chen Sanshi dispersed the sword energy at his fingertips.

He had not entered the Dao, so he could not store the incense in his dantian. Each time he accumulated it, he could only use it once, and then he would need to accumulate it again.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Not to mention that there is no corresponding practice for the incense and fire gods, even if there is, he would not dare to practice it casually. Who knows what price he will have to pay, especially since these incense and fire are not his own but stolen. Just think about it and you will know that it is unreliable. It is better to wait until you reach a certain level and follow your master to practice the orthodox way of entering the Tao.

Incense and sword skills can be used as the current trump cards.
