Starting from becoming a god, I travel through the heavens.

After lunch.

Liu Yi was drunk and drowsy. Liu helped him back into the house. Zhao Sheng and Ye Lianxin were arranged to stay in another room. And whether it was Liu's intention or not, their rooms were very close to each other, just a few steps away.

Before leaving, Liu whispered in Ye Lianxin's ear, "Lianxin, if it's Zhao Langjun, you should take him as soon as possible, lest some vixen seduce him in the future." Her words were like the whisper of a devil.

Ye Lianxin dared not listen any longer and fled back to the room that had been arranged for her.

Upon returning to his room, Zhao Sheng sat upright on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to breathe deeply, attempting to draw the surrounding spiritual energy into his body. Tiny specks of aquamarine spiritual energy were absorbed into his body, and countless cells instantly rushed forward, devouring this meager amount of spiritual energy.

moment.

Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them. The surrounding spiritual energy returned to its scattered state, wandering freely. "Although Dao Absorption can draw in spiritual energy, it's rather weak, and the amount is far too small—not enough for my cells to absorb!"

"Moreover, it seems that the spiritual energy in this world can only be fully activated and absorbed through the spiritual acupoints. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to absorb it. No wonder there is such a realm as spiritual communication." He muttered to himself.

Even in the world of the gods, the Dao Absorption technique can draw in and absorb a small amount of energy, but the spiritual energy in this world cannot be drawn in. "Perhaps once I obtain the cultivation method, I can incorporate it into my fist techniques or breathing techniques," Zhao Sheng thought to himself, his eyes lowered.

The cultivation systems of each world are more or less unique, and spiritual energy can only be absorbed through special acupoints. He thought this was reasonable, after all, existence is its own justification.

The ancestors of this world must have realized that they could not absorb spiritual energy on their own, and eventually found a way to absorb spiritual energy through spiritual acupoints, which eventually evolved into the cultivation system we have today.

"A normal human body has 720 acupoints, and I currently control 360 acupoints, which corresponds exactly to the number of the circadian rhythm. Perhaps the acupoint for spiritual communication is one of the other 360 acupoints."

Zhao Sheng looked inward at the 360 ​​acupoints in his body, which were empty and pitch black. Only when he absorbed wisps of spiritual energy into them would they tremble and shimmer like stars.

The human body in the Dragon and Snake World normally has 360 acupoints, but he is not from the Dragon and Snake World, so the number of acupoints does not match. Coincidentally, the human body in his previous life on Earth had 720 acupoints.

Even after he transmigrated to the world of gods, he still retained some of the unique characteristics of the human body on Earth, or perhaps it was his cheat system that preserved his uniqueness. To this day, he still doesn't understand the origin of his cheat system.

"Logically, I can perfectly control my body, but the number of acupoints remains at 360. Do I need to explore the remaining acupoints?" Zhao Sheng asked again.

Thinking this, he examined his body's acupoints again. Very little spiritual energy entered the acupoints. The three hundred and sixty acupoints trembled and shone brightly. With a little light, he could see the location of a few unopened acupoints.

Mwah! ...

With a thought, Zhao Sheng's spiritual senses activated, and several acupoints opened on their own. A wisp of spiritual energy was then injected into them, and they began to resonate with the 360 ​​acupoints. "So, it's only necessary to find the location of the acupoints to open them on their own? That makes things easier." He realized.

So, Zhao Sheng stayed in the room all afternoon, opening his acupoints. If you listened carefully, you could hear a faint sound coming from inside the room, like the sound of a needle pricking a blister.

Even after dinner, he went back into his room to continue opening acupoints. He had already opened dozens of acupoints, and if he maintained this pace, half a month would be enough for him to open all the required number of acupoints.

The next room.

Ye Lianxin lay face down on the bed, dressed in a dress that revealed her fair and slender legs, which she swayed up and down. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes kept glancing towards Zhao Sheng's room.

Thinking of what Sister Liu had said at noon, her cheeks flushed. While she felt a fright and excitement, she also felt a strange sense of excitement. This must be what Father meant by doing bad things, right?

No, it should be "like"!

"But I don't know what excuse to use to get past this!" The girl buried her face in the pillow, her ears turning red, as if she were complaining or feeling helpless.

She was thinking about whether she should sneak into Sheng Ge'er's bed while he was asleep that night, and then sleep in the same bed with him, so that she would be his woman.

She learned this from the young ladies in Yun County and from the stories in the storybooks.

"But wouldn't that be unchaste? I've heard that anyone who sleeps with another man will be drowned in a pig cage." Ye Lianxin hesitated, remembering the story of being drowned in a pig cage that she had heard in Yun County, which made her quite afraid.

She feared being labeled an unfaithful harlot and then being drowned in a pig cage in front of everyone.

"Oh well, never mind." Ye Lianxin made up her mind. Even being drowned in a pig cage was better than losing Sheng Ge'er, as Sister Liu had said. She got out of bed, put on her lotus shoes, and opened the door with a creak as she went out.

The light in Zhao Sheng's room was still on. When she arrived at the door, she felt a little regretful, but since she was already there, Ye Lianxin couldn't possibly go back now.

Tonight, she's going to win over Sheng Ge'er!

Yes, let's win over Sheng-ge'er!

Boom boom boom!

Ye Lianxin tapped twice lightly and once more, "Sheng-ge'er, are you... are you asleep?" She asked knowingly, her voice trembling slightly, her tongue quivering, her heart filled with panic.

She couldn't hide the apple-like blush on her cheeks, her long hair swaying in the wind. The sixteen-year-old girl had already begun to develop a graceful figure. "Come in," a voice came from inside the house.

Ye Lianxin opened the door and went in. "Oh!" But she was probably nervous and tripped over the threshold, about to fall.

Swish!

Upon opening his eyes and seeing this, Zhao Sheng spread his five fingers and gathered qi like an invisible cotton ball. Then, with a push of his large hand, he supported Ye Lianxin with the qi and helped her stand up again. "Why did you suddenly come here to me in the middle of the night?" he asked.

He noticed the blush on Ye Lianxin's cheeks and the subtle changes in her expression. After a moment's thought, he knew her intentions. "You're still too young," he said, refusing her before she could even explain.

"I haven't even said anything yet." Ye Lianxin muttered softly upon hearing this, but Sheng Ge'er's words implied that she should have a few more years. "So, does Sheng Ge'er like me too?" This was what she was thinking.

"Go to sleep," Zhao Sheng said gently, as if coaxing a little girl. "Then I won't bother you anymore, Sheng-ge'er." Ye Lianxin obediently agreed and left. Having received Sheng-ge'er's promise, she was naturally satisfied.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand, causing the airflow to sway and close the door. The use of airflow is a technique of Gang Jin (罡劲), and when it reaches Shen Jin (神劲), it becomes even more effortless. One can also use airflow to injure or even kill people from a distance.

However, such methods are useless against strong opponents of the same level. Physical strength is the key to determining victory or defeat, while airflow techniques are merely auxiliary means.

"It's late, let's go to sleep." Seeing that it was dark, Zhao Sheng gently exhaled and blew out the candle on the table. He then propped himself up on one side of his face with one hand, crossed his legs, and lay down. This was the Sleeping Skill from martial arts.

Gradually, he fell asleep.

The next day, the rooster crowed at dawn!

Zhao Sheng woke up, got out of bed and left the room, just then the door next door creaked open. Ye Lianxin rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door, her long hair was messy and her dress was askew, revealing the fair skin under her neck.

"Good morning, Sheng-ge'er." She greeted him, then went to the well, drew a basin of water to wash her face, and tidied her clothes and hair.

Zhao Sheng washed his face and came to the courtyard. Before leaving, he said earnestly, "Brother Liu and I have things to do. Don't go out until I get back. Linquan City is a military city, so there are quite a few hooligans among the refugees."

He paused and added, "If you're really bored, I'll take you out for a stroll when I get back." His tone was serious.

Ye Lianxin nodded obediently.

"Brother Zhao, let's go." Liu Yi was dressed the same as yesterday, in a black robe and carrying a long sword, exuding the air of a chivalrous knight. Zhao Sheng nodded slightly.

The two left the compound one after the other. "Come back soon." Liu and Ye Lianxin stood at the gate, watching them leave.

"Did Lianxin win over Zhao Langjun last night?" Liu asked Ye Lianxin with a light laugh. The latter shook her head. "No, Sheng-ge'er said I should grow a few more years. I'm still too young now," she answered simply.

Liu glanced at her slightly protruding chest and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed small. It should grow bigger in a few years." She patted the little girl's head.

Ye Lianxin was simple-minded, but not stupid. She knew what Liu was referring to. Her face turned red, and she stammered, "Sister Liu, you..." She didn't know what to say.

"Alright, alright, let's stop teasing Lianxin. Let's go inside, and I'll continue to tell you how to catch a man." Liu took Ye Lianxin's smooth and soft hand and led her into the house.

the other side.

Zhao Sheng and Liu Yi were both experts in the Body Tempering Realm and moved quickly. It took them about five minutes to arrive at a military camp. Several soldiers in black armor surrounded them, each with a serious expression. The scene was small but solemn.

"My name is Liu Yi, and I'm in charge of recruiting talent. This is a token; please inform the general." Liu Yi handed a black-armored soldier a black token, and Zhao Sheng saw the character "Yi" engraved on the back of the token.

"It's Brother Liu. Alright, wait a moment, I'll go inform the general." The black-armored soldier seemed to recognize Liu Yi, quickly glanced at the token and handed it back to him, then turned and strode into the military camp.

"Brother Zhao, this is where some commanders often hold meetings. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only these black-armored guards nearby; who knows how many hidden forces are at play here," Liu Yi chatted with Zhao Sheng during a break.

Zhao Sheng remained silent, because he could feel gazes coming from different directions, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and bite if anything went wrong.

The two didn't wait long before the black-armored guard came out. "The general invites you." His tone was slightly polite, but that was all. "Thank you. I'll treat all the brothers to a drink when we get back to Linyu County," Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Liu is straightforward." The black-armored guard was pleased and opened the tent for the two of them. Although the black-armored guards had an income of five taels of silver per month, they dared not spend it recklessly and wanted to save money to get married.

The other black-armored guards were also pleased, and their gazes towards Zhao Sheng became much kinder, full of human kindness! He sighed softly.

"Let's go, Brother Zhao." Liu Yi walked into the military camp first, followed closely by Zhao Sheng. What came into view were two rows of low tables, with soft cushions placed on the ground, where some generals sat cross-legged.

Zhao Sheng secretly observed the generals, and they were also observing him. Their gazes were filled with hostility, indifference, or goodwill, and their varied looks made him understand why Li Yuan dared not bring him into the city.

Most of them are hostile; only three generals have shown goodwill. If Li Yuan dares to contact anyone related to General Qin, given his meager strength and status, he won't even know how he died.

Zhao Sheng sighed inwardly. He couldn't turn back now; otherwise, he would not only offend those commanders but also General Qin, and no one would be able to protect him then.

There were three generals supporting General Qin in one military camp, which shows how low his control over the camp was. It was like going from one wolf pack to another tiger's den.

"Greetings, General Qin." The two approached General Qin's seat, bowed, and Zhao Sheng imitated Liu Yi's posture.

"Hmm." General Qin sat at the head of the table, glancing at the young man beside Liu Yi. His skin was tough, his bones were strong, and his posture was upright. He was at least a martial artist at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm, and his age was no more than thirty. "Not bad." He praised.

To have such a level of achievement at such a young age is truly remarkable; he is also the only genius he has seen so far who is willing to join. "What's your name?" he asked after praising him.

"Zhao Sheng," Zhao Sheng replied.

The generals sitting on either side stared at him. When they heard General Qin praise him, the hidden hostility in their eyes intensified. This kid must have great potential to earn Qin Tian's praise, so they had to nip him in the bud.

This child must not be allowed to live!

"Well done, indeed a young hero. To possess at least the strength of the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm before the age of thirty, his future is bright!" General Qin subtly glanced at the generals on both sides and continued to praise them.

really!

The two generals thought to themselves, "We need to find an opportunity to get rid of this kid, lest Qin Tian interfere more and more in military affairs, and then we will lose our military power." This was their shared thought.

A general parachuted in by Qin Tian also wants to seize the military power they've cultivated for so many years. They'll make him kowtow until he bleeds, then submit a memorial listing his misdeeds. It shouldn't be a problem to transfer him away.

"Old fox." When Zhao Sheng heard Qin Tian continue to praise him, he immediately knew what the old fox was up to: using him to attract hatred.

Liu Yi watched with envy. It seemed like General Qin hadn't praised anyone in a long time.

"General Qin, you flatter me. How could you, as the commander of an army, not have seen geniuses and heroes? I am here to seek a job in the army," Zhao Sheng replied respectfully.

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. Zhao Sheng was haggling; the first sentence was a coded message, the second his true intention. She thought to herself, "Little fox."

However, he did not continue to incite hatred against Zhao Sheng. The first two sentences were enough to distract some people, which would lighten the burden of his subsequent plans.

"I have two jobs here. One is to serve as a centurion, and the other is to stay by my side as a personal guard." Qin Tian drank a cup of tea. Drinking alcohol was not allowed in the military camp; it was a rule he had established.

After a long silence, Zhao Sheng finally made his choice, "I will take the position of centurion." His manner of speaking changed quickly, and he began to refer to himself as a subordinate, which proved that he was now Qin Tian's man.

Liu Yi, standing nearby, felt that Zhao Sheng should choose to stay by General Qin's side as a personal guard, so that he could not only receive guidance but also have a strong protector.

However, since Zhao Sheng had chosen to become a centurion, he could only reluctantly support him as a friend, since everyone has different choices.

It should be noted that what one considers a good choice may be seen as a good alternative by others. Therefore, Liu Yi did not remind Zhao Sheng that becoming a centurion might be his best option.

Zhao Sheng's choice of centurion was the result of much deliberation. Although staying by General Qin's side as a personal guard was good, it was not what he wanted, as it would be too restrictive.

He led a hundred-man team by himself, which not only gave him a certain degree of freedom but also allowed him most of his time to cultivate. More importantly, he was already under General Qin's command, and the other party would never abandon him.

In this case, the position of centurion is most suitable for him now, and as for those hostile generals, he can only deal with them as they come.
