Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chapter 123 Changes in the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter

Whenever there are fire-attribute treasures nearby, the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter can resonate with them, just like practicing on its own.

Actually, this is not a unique feature of the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter, but rather a feature shared by all five elemental cultivation methods.

Being in the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mo felt as if he were bathed in pure light and precious energy, which was extremely comfortable.

"What does the manager usually do?" Chen Mo asked.

Huang Sheng immediately replied, "The junior steward must take inventory of the items in his assigned area every day and cannot allow outsiders to occupy a place for an extended period. Of course, if the other party is willing to offer benefits, that's a different story."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo frowned. "Is this... not in accordance with regulations?"

He asked this question not because he was rigid or inflexible.

However, he was afraid that doing so would cause trouble. If the elders above held him accountable, would he be able to withstand it?

Huang Sheng looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Chen, you're new here, so you may not know this. These are all unwritten rules of Zhenbaolou. Not just Zhenbaolou, but the entire Nine Swords Mountain and the whole of Chuzhou, these are the great principles of traveling the martial world."

Chen Mo suddenly realized something.

Humans are born to pursue self-interest, and this is a natural principle, no matter how seemingly superior the place may be!

He secretly noted this down, thinking it might come in handy later. Besides, being in such a murky place, he didn't need to pretend to be innocent.

Now that I have the title of head steward, many things are much easier to do.

Huang Sheng then said, "But the head steward doesn't need to take inventory of the items; he only needs to speak on important matters."

Chen Mo nodded, understanding dawning on him.

This head steward seems to hold a real position.

If even a minor steward like Huang Sheng can distribute the reward items from beast cores, then the senior stewards must have even more power.

He was secretly delighted, and then asked about some details. Huang Shengjun answered obediently, not daring to hide anything.

Once he had a better understanding of the situation, he told Huang Sheng to go about his business, while Chen Mo went to his own private space.

The space isn't very big, only enough for five or six people, but it's secluded and quiet, so you won't be disturbed.

The Zhenbao Tower is divided into two levels according to the different floors.

The first, second, and third floors are the lower floors, and Chen Mo is the head manager of the lower floors.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are high-rise buildings, and he has no right to go there.

As for the highest seventh floor, it appears shrouded in auspicious mist from afar, its contents unknown.

Chen Mo withdrew his gaze, stepped into the private space, and began practicing the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter amidst the fire-attribute aura emanating from various fire-elemental items.

He discovered that practicing here was nearly 30-40% faster than outside.

Nine Swords Mountain is home to many powerful individuals. In addition to their exceptional talent, the unique natural conditions on the mountain greatly enhance their abilities.

The saying that "one day here is worth three days outside" is obviously an exaggeration, but it does not stop the wealthy family members from rushing to come and meditate.

In just one hour, Chen Mo saw more than a dozen disciples dressed in noble attire enter the Zhenbao Tower to practice their skills.

They mostly sit cross-legged in meditation, practicing the Five Elements exercises.

Chen Mo sat there for three hours.

Three hours later, he exhaled a breath of stale air, got up, and left his private space.

At that moment, a man and a woman walked up to him.

The man was over thirty-five years old and looked somewhat plump. The woman, though of average appearance, was well-dressed and had a decent demeanor.

The two men bowed to Chen Mo. The man said, "Greetings, Head Steward. We are junior stewards under you, just like Huang Sheng. My name is Hong Shu, and her name is Bai Qing."

After saying that, he handed over a small box, saying, "This is a local specialty from our hometown, and it's just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

Chen Mo was taken aback, as if he understood something. After hesitating for a few moments, he finally accepted the box. "Okay, from now on, let's work together."

Without realizing it, I started speaking in an official tone.

Seeing that Chen Mo accepted the gift, Hong Shu and Bai Qing were both overjoyed.

Chen Mo asked, "By the way, which mountain do you two and Huang Sheng belong to?"

Hong Shu immediately replied, "Huang Sheng and I are from Yunhan Peak, and Bai Qing is from Xuan Niao Peak, but—"

At this point, his expression became slightly awkward. "However, I can't really be considered a disciple of Nine Swords Mountain. I came to Nine Swords Mountain thirteen years ago. In my second year there, I entered the Treasure Pavilion by virtue of a superficial relationship with an elder, and I've been the manager for twelve years now."

Chen Mo was surprised.

So I have to call you 'Uncle-Master'?

He noticed that this slightly overweight disciple of Hong Shu was quite shrewd. He had been in charge of Zhenbao Tower for twelve years, neither high nor low, but he had already amassed a lot of benefits.

Bai Qing, who was standing to the side, also introduced herself: "I come from the Bai family of Chuzhou. My father often exchanges and learns from the elders of Xuan Niao Peak. The elders said that I was suitable to come to Zhenbao Tower, so they made me the manager."

She put it rather subtly.

Chen Mo cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I will need to consult you two often in the future."

Hong Shu quickly replied, "No, no, Steward, please don't hesitate to give the order if you need us!"

"it is good."

"Then we won't disturb the head steward any longer."

After the two left, Chen Mo returned to his private space, opened the small box, and saw two gold ingots lying quietly inside.

Upon seeing this, he was taken aback, then immediately closed the box and looked around to make sure no one had seen it.

My heart was pounding.

He had never seen such a large sum of money in either his past or present life.

He estimated that these two large gold ingots could be exchanged for several hundred taels of silver, yet the other party took them out so casually.

"call"

He took a deep breath, feeling a sense of unreality.

But he quickly calmed down and, after thinking for a moment, decided that he should use gold ingots to buy forging materials and hidden weapons.

"Let's talk about it next time we go to Chuzhou Prefecture."

For three consecutive days, Chen Mo traveled back and forth between Zhenbao Tower and Fangyuan. Finally, on this day, he achieved minor success in the Taichen Yinghuo Chapter, and at the same time, a crimson light suddenly shone in his sea of ​​consciousness:

[Refined through countless trials, nurtured by mountains and rivers]

[The Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter has reached a minor completion stage; the required mountain and water essences to absorb are fire-attribute treasures.]

Absorbing this material will allow you to unleash its inherent potential and enhance your martial arts comprehension.

Chen Mo looked completely bewildered.

"After reaching the minor completion stage, the materials required for the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter are no longer the Ten Victory Stones, but fire-attribute treasures."

"Furthermore, there's no need for further polishing and tempering; it's simply absorbed directly?"

"Fire-attribute treasures should refer to items with a fire element aspect, such as the fire jade, scales, and blazing wolf eyeballs I possess."

Fire Marrow Spirit Orb.

"If it can be absorbed directly, it would save the trouble of polishing and tempering."

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes. "If the fire-attribute treasures on my body can be absorbed, then can the fire-attribute treasures in the Treasure Pavilion also be absorbed? And there are hundreds or thousands of treasures in the Treasure Pavilion—"

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and his heart pounded. He then thought to himself, "It's not appropriate to display the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter too much here. I should go back to Fang Yuan and try it out first."
