He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Liu Cheng felt as if his soul was being burned by flames. He couldn't control his expression, which was completely different from his previous calm demeanor.

It felt very disjointed, but thankfully no one was watching, otherwise Liu Cheng would have lost all face.

Xu Yi is very strong. Liu Cheng has genuinely acknowledged this young man's abilities, and his strength is already enough to go toe-to-toe with him for many rounds.

However, he can also use spells related to the soul and spirit.

Liu Cheng could no longer hide his strength. He had a thought in his mind that he wanted to have a real fight with this young man. His strength was among the best in the Foundation Establishment stage. How could he have been defeated by a mere Foundation Establishment kid today?

Liu Cheng wouldn't allow this to happen. He was prepared to go all out. This wasn't just a test; he was pushing Xu Yi to his limits. He wanted to see just how strong Xu Yi really was.

Soon, a refreshing sensation burst forth in her mind. This was the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, a spell that Liu Cheng had specially practiced to purify the soul. As long as this refreshing sensation surged into her heart, all negative effects would be greatly reduced, especially those skills that could harm his soul.

In that instant, the flames that were burning his soul were purified.

Liu Cheng straightened up, looked at Xu Yi, and laughed, "What other skills do you have? Show them off!"

He was no longer afraid of Xu Yi's spells. Xu Yi ignored them. He had gradually noticed that something was wrong with Liu Cheng. He had gone from being able to barely suppress Liu Cheng to losing control after a few moves.

So, it seems Liu Cheng has already used his full strength? Is this the true power of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator? This Blazing Sun move is one of his proudest techniques. He hasn't used Greedy Wolf yet; the time isn't right.

Xu Yi was afraid of running out of skills.

He transformed into a beam of light and vanished from the spot. Liu Cheng still felt heartbroken seeing this magical escape technique again, as he couldn't find Xu Yi's location at all, which was very frustrating.

However, Liu Cheng was not in a hurry. Although he was fast, how could he be faster than the predictions in his mind, or even faster than his divine sense!

Here? No, here?

Soon, Liu Cheng was able to figure out a certain pattern. He discovered that although Xu Yi was fast, he still had some weaknesses. Each time, there were a few fixed points where he would stop or prepare to attack.

Liu Cheng flipped his hand, and a small bell appeared in his palm. This was his magic treasure, the Qiongyuan Bell.

It can trap enemies within a certain range and continuously cause soul tremors. He has been refining it since he entered the Foundation Establishment stage. If Liu Cheng can successfully advance to the Golden Core stage, then this Qiongyuan Bell will become his natal magic weapon. At that time, it will be bound to his soul, and if one is damaged, the other will be damaged.

He used Qiong Yuanzhong frequently to protect the goods he was escorting, or the people he was protecting. It was very useful, as it could protect a certain amount of goods over a large area. This allowed him to protect the goods on many occasions while escorting goods, thus keeping his job.

However, it's not that he hasn't used the Qiong Yuanzhong in his attacks.

Now is the best time to use Qiong Yuanzhong.

He chanted a spell, and the golden bell rapidly enlarged, covering the several positions where Xu Yi had moved.

As Xu Yi switched positions in an instant, he suddenly crashed into a solid wall. He was a little confused. What was going on?

Liu Cheng released the magic weapon too quickly, and Xu Yi couldn't react in time. Now he's trapped inside. Xu Yi sat down cross-legged and began to think of a solution.

Outside Qiong Yuanzhong, Liu Cheng gently pressed his palm on it and began to chant a spell. This spell was extremely harmful to the soul. He wanted to make Xu Yi suffer a bit. Just now, this kid had actually burned his soul, which was very painful.

Soon, the Qiongyuan Bell trembled slightly, with countless ripples erupting and rebounding within it.

These sounds entered Xu Yi's mind and began to constantly stimulate his soul.

Xu Yi even felt dizzy and disoriented; he could no longer describe his current situation.

He had already suffered too many injuries inside this bell. Liu Cheng's magic weapon was very powerful, as expected of a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been refining it for so many years.

It's a pity he hasn't refined the magic weapon yet. Wait, refined the magic weapon?

Xu Yi drew the iron sword from his back and examined it carefully.

If he could refine the iron sword into his magic weapon, would he be able to cast some spells instantly? Xu Yi thought about it and realized that it was still a bit too late to refine a magic weapon now.

He sighed. The clock was sealed off, and he had no way to escape.

Xu Yi transformed into an arc of light and attempted to crash into the clock face again, but still suffered no damage.

Xu Yi was completely out of options. He stood there for a while, thinking that the Rainbow Transformation Technique couldn't get him out, so he had no other choice.

"Manager Liu!"

Xu Yi shouted loudly.

He didn't know how many rounds it had been, but the Wanbaoge's assessment was a bit too abnormal.

Xu Yi felt that his strength was already quite strong; even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he had mastered a great many spells.

Logically speaking, he should be able to meet this request. Xu Yi couldn't understand it. Were all the bodyguards of Wanbaoge so powerful?

This is a bit too outrageous.

Xu Yi still refused to believe it; he couldn't believe this was the true difficulty of the test. Liu Cheng was indeed very strong, but he lacked a natal magic weapon. If he could also forge an iron sword to become his natal magic weapon, Xu Yi felt that he could still break this bell.

However, this was just Xu Yi's imagination. Xu Yi believed in the sharpness of the iron sword, but he didn't know what kind of magical effects it would have after being refined into a magic weapon. Would it be able to perform some sword magic like in later generations?

"Manager Liu!" Xu Yi shouted again, trying to wake up the manager of Wanbaoge and get him released. What kind of bodyguard was he? He could quit.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how is it?" Liu Cheng's voice came from outside the bell, and Xu Yi felt as if it were right next to his ear.

It seems this natal magic weapon is quite something; it can even transmit sound.

"Manager Liu, I'm not fighting anymore! I can't beat them!" Xu Yi's voice of surrender came from inside. He had truly admitted defeat and really should strengthen his own abilities. The iron sword needed to be forged, and he would start preparing for the forging after this trip. He would try out the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) again next time.

He still wanted to become a bodyguard, so that he could openly kill those who robbed his goods, and then he would have a lot of lifespan that he could refine.

Then his strength can also increase very quickly.

This is Xu Yi's idea.

But judging from the current situation, it seems a bit impossible to get in. Following the thread of "I'm so hungry because I haven't eaten today," let's embark on an adventure together in "Becoming the True Lord of All Laws Starting from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio." Wanbaoge still has some merit.

Was Liu Cheng's assessment this difficult back then? Xu Yi's mind was in turmoil. He shouted again, "Manager Liu, stop with your supernatural powers!"

It was very stuffy inside Qiong Yuanzhong, and Xu Yi felt very uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, Fellow Daoist Xu, please wait a moment."

Xu Yi heard Manager Liu's voice outside. Soon, before Xu Yi could react, the previously pitch-black scene instantly came into color.

He glanced helplessly at Liu Cheng and said, "Manager Liu, I really have no other choice. This magic weapon of yours is truly torturous!"

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Xu, not so, you have actually already passed the test."

"You should know that there are two minor realms between us. I also expended a lot of energy when I passed this test back then."

"But the examiners at the time didn't give it their all. Our internal rule was that you only needed to use 40% of your strength. The test was completely fair."

"Fellow Daoist Ke Xu, do you know? I just used all my strength to deal with you. I didn't hold back at all. Even so, I was almost killed by you. If it weren't for this magic weapon, I'm afraid you would have really succeeded."

Liu Cheng sighed. He was unwilling to admit he was getting old, but there were still many geniuses in this world. He considered himself to be in his prime, and indeed he was. Compared to a young man like Xu Yi, he was in his prime, and it was precisely when his magical power was abundant and his cultivation was solid.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xu Yi felt much better. Regardless of whether Liu Cheng had shown his true strength or not, he could tell that Liu Cheng had not treated him according to the assessment standards. Logically speaking, 40% of his strength should be more than enough to refine this natal magic weapon!

Xu Yi's head was still buzzing from the shock.

"Yes, that's true. I'm telling the truth. Fellow Daoist Xu, you're ready to escort goods now. Just now, a big order came in. Would you like to practice your skills?" Liu Cheng said with a smile. This fight had given him a better understanding of this person. His fighting style was sharp and aggressive, not the kind of person who would resort to petty tricks.

A person's character can be fully revealed in battle, and Xu Yi is definitely the kind of person who is unrestrained and doesn't care about face at all. It's easy to talk about this kind of person. Xu Yi is someone who doesn't care about anything. Maybe he joined Wanbaoge for the so-called benefit or for training. Wanbaoge will accept this kind of person.

With formidable strength and extraordinary background, Wanbaoge fears none of these things. As long as you escort the goods well, you will be a member of Wanbaoge, and Wanbaoge will not pursue any matters against you.

"Manager Liu, what a coincidence!" Xu Yi asked in surprise, as if this was a task tailor-made for him.

"Hehe, not at all, Fellow Daoist Xu, it really is such a coincidence that you just happened to arrive. When you came, this escort was already waiting for me here, just waiting for my order to set off. However, I still feel that the team is missing a person, a person who is the last to go. I was originally thinking of waiting for Xiaoqing to come back and then sending her."

"Now that you're here, nothing could be better," Manager Liu said with a smile. Xu Yi's arrival was just in time, relieving his immediate crisis.

"Great!" Xu Yi nodded with a smile. This was excellent, giving him a chance to prove himself. He, Xu Yi, was determined to become the strongest bodyguard in Lion City. He would develop his skills for a while first.

In his view, this place is enough for him to develop for a while. He'll think about setting sail again when his strength has improved.

Xu Yi made up his mind; he decided to stay here a little longer.

"Okay, Xiao Xu, I'll call you that. I'm much older than you, so you can call me that too."

"Of course, Manager Liu." Xu Yi nodded. Before, everyone called him "Sir," but now he's being called "Young Xu," which makes him feel like he's a generation younger.

However, these are minor details and don't need to be taken seriously.

"Okay, okay, that's good."

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xu, do you need to rest? Or can we set off now?" Manager Liu asked again, seemingly in a bit of a hurry for this shipment.

"I'm leaving immediately!"

"Alright!" Manager Liu said with a smile, "Then come with me, and I'll introduce you to your partners."

After saying that, Manager Liu walked towards the backyard, where all the goods prepared for the trip were stored. These were items that someone had purchased from Wanbaoge, but which could not be put into storage rings.

Some special ores require special shipping methods and special containers.

"Gentlemen, the head镖师 (escort/escort) has been found. Rest for a moment, then prepare to depart!"

Manager Liu called over the bodyguards who had come to escort the goods, and pulled Xu Yi to the front to announce his arrival.

Xu Yi scanned the unfamiliar faces one by one. He could tell their cultivation levels at a glance. They were all cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining, and they had all refined some Five Elements spiritual items. It seemed that this shipment was very important.

"Old Hei, introduce Xu Yi to him in a bit. He'll be your head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) after that. This escort trip will take about two months, and there will be goods to be handed over at that time. I'll have to trouble you with that."

Manager Liu approached a very robust-looking man and gave him some instructions. Old Hei was an old man in the team. The head of the escort team would change each time, but the team composed of Qi Refining cultivators remained the same.

To ensure closer cooperation, people were replaced only after each death, except for the head镖师 (镖师 is a person who escorts goods to a high position), who needed to be constantly changed.

This is Wanbaoge's rule.

"Okay, shopkeeper, don't worry!" Old Hei's voice was firm, giving people a sense of security.

"Xiao Xu, be careful in everything you do. The goods aren't important; your life is. If the goods are lost, you can get compensation. Don't worry, Wanbaoge will provide plenty of compensation. If you're really outmatched, just run. Your life is the most important thing!"

Liu Cheng pulled Xu Yi aside and solemnly instructed him, "It's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. Xu Yi is that general. He's the last one standing, a rare talent. Liu Cheng still values ​​him highly."

"Little Xu, I see you haven't refined your natal magic weapon yet. Is it because you don't have the corresponding cultivation technique? Or do you not have a suitable magic weapon?"

After saying that, Liu Cheng once again gave Xu Yi employee benefits.

This truly made Xu Yi feel a sense of belonging to a group.

"Hehe, Manager Liu, to be honest, I don't have the cultivation method to refine it!" Xu Yi didn't stand on ceremony. Since Liu Cheng had already spoken, he was definitely going to take advantage of the opportunity. Who knew when he would have another good deal like this?

"I see. There are many techniques for refining one's natal magic weapon, depending on the type of weapon. You don't mean you want to refine the sword on your back, do you?"

Liu Cheng has sharp eyes; he noticed it immediately.
