The Great Seminary

Chapter 45 Golden Qi and Blood
Zhang Gui was quietly exploring the terrain in the village.

After walking around for a while, he happened to meet Zhou Guanshan and Liu Hu, who were also wandering around Wangbei Manor and had temporarily stopped working after handing over the escorted servants.

So Zhang Gui picked up the conversation with Zhou Guanshan as they walked and talked about the mountains.

He spent the night there until after dinner, without caring whether his work required him to stay overnight in Wangbei Village.

I decided to leave work and rode back to Pingyang Town.

Before leaving, he did not forget to make arrangements for Zhao Sanshi, "I want to go home tonight.

You should go back to where you originally lived."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sanshi, who had always behaved very dutifully, suddenly interrupted him and made a plea with a slightly trembling voice.

"Sir, could you please arrange a room for me to live in this yard?"

This matter was a bit unusual, but Zhang Gui didn't have the energy to care about the abnormality of a servant whom he had just known for half a day.

However, when encountering something he could arrange himself, he never made things difficult for others. He nodded and said:
“It’s just a small matter.

Just go to the side room and find a room with a quilt to sleep in.

Just don't forget to cover yourself with a thicker cover at night.

If you don't mind the trouble, light up the kang so you don't catch a cold."

Zhao Sanshi was so moved that he almost cried when he heard this, and he thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

The higher a person's status, the more he feels that people around him are full of kindness, and he does not think it is so rare for people to be nice to him.

But for slaves whose status was so low that they worked in the dirt, no matter how earnestly they begged, very few people would respond with kindness to them.

There are many cases where even if people are of equal status and can understand each other's hard work, they are still unwilling to help with a small favor that requires no effort.

So for Zhang Gui it was just a little bit of convenient help, but for Zhao Sanshi it was a great kindness.

The next day, I pretended to work half a day.

Zhang Bazhen was in a hurry to visit relatives and friends before the New Year, and he was so happy that he couldn't help but want to slack off.

I discussed the division of labor with Zhang Gui and told him to keep each other informed if there was any emergency.

So on the third day, early in the morning, it was still dark.

Zhang Gui quietly left the town and headed towards Xuanzhi Mountain.

The caravans that usually travelled non-stop on the Siyang County Road were mostly those that were transporting fresh food against the clock.

Now he has become a wanderer returning home.

Turning onto the small path, it felt strangely eerie.

But he had no more worries, and began to perform the flying kicking technique, coordinating with the Jianzu Shencong to continuously accelerate.

Hunting wild beasts in the primeval forest for many consecutive days gave Zhang Gui a groundbreaking understanding of his own divine abilities and the cultivation methods he practiced.
The ability of 'Master of War', which comes from Chi You's bloodline, is the same as 'Brutal', which is also a 'same magical power'.

Although it requires forced transformation to be used, the source of its power, the golden energy and blood, can be activated at any time.

Its preceding divine clusters, Baicao Xingming, Yanshaojin, and Dazhang, will passively and infinitely strengthen Zhang Gui's body.

Just as a steam engine made of fragile pig iron may explode, a steam engine made of high-grade steel can be built to last for a long time.

Zhang Gui's body became stronger, and he could use the original power of "explosion" from the ancient god Kuafu without restraint.

The evaporated Gangqi and golden blood and qi replace the blood and Gangqi of ordinary people.

It was just like the peerless martial arts from his favorite martial arts novels in his previous life, "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer" and "The Legend of the Dragons", a combination of the 'Taiyang Divine Art' and the 'Da Wuxiang Divine Art'.

For example, Taiyang Divine Art states that although the evaporated Gangqi and golden blood are extremely powerful in nature, they lack the means to explode at this stage.

The Flying Kick, the Flowing Fire Fist, the Wind-Grabbing Hand, and the Crossbow Master are just like the worthless Iron Sand Palm and Flying on the Grass in the martial arts novels of the previous life.

Although it wasn't a top-tier technique, it could still unleash the power of the evaporated Gangqi and golden blood. For example, the 'Great Wuxiang Divine Art' meant that the evaporated Gangqi and golden blood could double the unique characteristics of the technique.

For example, the Flying Kick Soldier, the Flowing Fire Fist, the Wind-Grabbing Hand, and the Crossbowman all have the characteristics of agile movement.

But the flying kick is a leg skill, and it is as fast as a flying bee and can run away as soon as it touches the ground.

The name of the Flying Fire Fist suggests that it has great explosive power.

The skill of catching the wind and shadows requires continuous and lasting force.

The Zongheng Finger Crossbow transforms fingers into crossbow arrows, aiming to kill with one strike and achieve the ultimate goal with one move.

These unique characteristics will be amplified by the evaporated Gangqi and golden blood, and will be more clearly displayed.

The title of "divine power" is not unjust, it is pure and true, it can connect heaven and earth and steal their power.
Zhang Gui walked more and more lightly, and when he reached the foot of the Xuanzhi Mountains, he did not slow down at all when he walked into the forest.

He doesn't even avoid big trees blocking the way.

The flying body lightly touched the tree trunk, and with the help of the force, it glided past the tree trunk at zero distance like a fish swimming downstream in water.

I feel it is becoming more and more natural and easy. I can walk with just one touch and cross with just one slide. It seems as if it was made in nature.

The hairs in the body that were pulled during the movement fluttered lightly in the flesh and blood.

It seems that it is about to form a new divine cluster, but it is always lacking the necessary conditions to form a complete and standardized ancient divine text.

Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Gui was 80% certain that practicing martial arts could also produce divine clusters.

In other words, if the ancestors are not helpful, an individual can rely on his talent and hard work to become a helpful ancestor for his descendants.

This kind of knowledge may not be valuable to the upper class, and they may just regard it as common sense that they don't care about.

But to Zhang Gui, it is extremely valuable and can serve as a forward-looking theory to better guide the future direction.

The forest is deep and dense, and the mushroom valley is hidden within it.

Zhang Gui landed lightly at the entrance of the valley.

His nose twitched a few times, and he could smell a very faint sweet smell of human blood in the air, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this time, several terrifying figures emerged from a hidden place in the valley.

Although his movements seemed clumsy, he was extremely agile and came in front of Zhang Gui, crawling on the ground.

Their skin is as hard as rock, and their hands are big enough to completely hold an adult's head.

His height is comparable to those basketball centers in Zhang Gui's previous life who were over 200 centimeters tall.

With a weight of over 500 kilograms, a prominent mouth and sharp teeth like a beast, it has completely broken away from the human stereotype.

It is the only armed force of the True Dragon Kingdom at present, and it is composed entirely of stone corpse soldiers.

The most prominent among them is the Jinshi School Lieutenant Lao Sang Gui.

"I've told you so many times, don't kowtow, don't kowtow, there are more civilized ways to show respect.

Why don’t you listen?”

Zhang Gui looked at the stone corpses under his feet and said with dissatisfaction.

"Dashi Jinxing, we are prostrating ourselves, not kowtowing to the ground." Old Sang Gui argued sincerely.

Zhang Gui's ears were already callused from all the nonsense he'd heard, such as touching the ground with one's head wasn't kowtow, and kneeling with one's face touching the footprints was just a common barbarian etiquette to show respect. He didn't want to refute it, so he didn't delve into it any further and asked:
"Have there been any more deliveries in the past two days?"

"Zhaxi Dun's son-in-law came to Wolong Valley with a few swordsmen and archers, saying he was going to the West Yuehai to do business and wanted to rest in the valley.

Zhaxi Dun then transformed himself into a stone corpse warrior and killed him."

Old Sang Gui replied.
