The Heavenly Court is gone, I don't want to be a True Lord.

in the afternoon.

The three Zuo brothers followed behind Zhang Chunfang and entered Fushan City for the first time.

Fushan City is very large; I heard it has a total of 60,000 households.

In today's world, a household is at least a large family of seven or eight people. 60,000 households would be equivalent to 400,000 to 500,000 people. Adding those without household registration documents, the total population is estimated to be around 600,000.

Zhang Chunfang led the three to a manor in the east of the city.

The estate was enormous, covering seven or eight hundred acres, and possessed a great deal of assets. To the north, various livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs were raised; to the south, there were workshops for processing fabrics and dyeing; and to the west, there were farmlands.

Zhang Chunfang led them along, introducing the group as she went.

They were led to the east, where the Lin family's retainers and followers lived; they were all martial artists.

"The master has arranged for you to train in martial arts under Li Gongfeng. Martial arts training is very demanding, so you need to eat well. In your spare time, you can also find some work in the manor. We won't let you help out for free."

The three Zuo brothers clasped their hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

"You are all talented people, there's no need to be so polite."

Zhang Chunfang also said with a smile.

Her martial arts aptitude wasn't particularly good, and her cultivation level wasn't high either, but she held a very high position in the Lin family, simply because she used to be the eldest young lady's personal maid.

She knew that many people looked down on her. If she could train Zuo Qi and the other two, she wouldn't have to worry about others being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant if something really happened in the future.

Although it was only her first time meeting Zuo Qi, she had witnessed the brotherly bond between the three of them.

People who value relationships will always be respected, especially since all three of them are quite capable.

Zuo Qi's innate superhuman strength is such that even many martial artists who have reached the second level of cultivation do not possess the strength to lift a thousand jin, let alone those who have cultivated Qi and Blood.

Li Gongfeng's real name is Li Gang. He received financial support from the Lin family when he was young, and the martial arts he practiced were also taught by the Lin family, namely the Jin Yi Gong.

This skill combines internal and external cultivation with movement and stillness, making it a fairly good skill.

There were already about a dozen men in the courtyard, who were probably all future patrolmen.

Zhang Chunfang greeted Li Gang and then left.

Zuo Qi was somewhat surprised to notice that the relationship between the two seemed rather close.

Li Gang acted swiftly and decisively. Upon learning what he was to do, he immediately had the three men change their clothes and join the training group.

Jin Yi Gong is a graded martial art, far superior to the techniques taught in martial arts schools outside.

Dynamic exercises are stance exercises, while static exercises are breathing exercises.

Even with someone like Li Gang personally instructing you, it's not something you can master overnight.

But Li Gang did as he pleased. He spent the whole afternoon demonstrating both the dynamic and static exercises, explaining the key points, and then told everyone to practice on their own.

Zuo Qi couldn't remember clearly, and Ni Heng, standing to the side, also had a bitter expression on his face.

Fortunately, He Xiao had a photographic memory. When the three of them returned to their room that night, He Xiao took the two outside and earnestly taught them his martial arts techniques.

Having lived two lives, Zuo Qi quickly grasped the basics.

Ni Heng, with a bitter face, continued to cultivate with He Xiao.

Zuo Qi then went to the side and began to practice standing meditation on his own.

Jin Yi Gong is not complicated, and Li Gang only taught everyone the first level. The dynamic exercises mainly involve standing meditation to cultivate qi and blood, while the static exercises mainly involve breathing and sitting meditation to capture qi and blood, store it in the body, and refine the skin and flesh.

The first level of entry is considered the training of a martial artist. After tempering all the flesh and skin of the body until the initial golden intent is formed, and then tempering a hundred streams of qi and blood in the body, one can attempt to break through to the second level.

When Zuo Qi practiced until midnight, from stance training to meditation, he didn't feel the presence of qi and blood at all.

I felt exhausted and my whole body ached unbearably.

Getting started... is a bit difficult.

He invited He Xiao and the other person back to their room.

"Brother Qi, the Lin family is pretty good. I didn't expect that we brothers would still be able to share a blanket."

"It's so warm."

Zuo Qi lay on the bed, listening to his two sworn brothers laughing and joking as they talked.

Turn around and face the wall.

With a thought, his brows relaxed, and the blood-red vertical pupil between his brows reappeared.

The sclera of the vertical pupils is blood red, while the pupils themselves are dark gold, like amber containing flowing light.

This is his... innate supernatural power!

It's also known as... life bone!

On the run, Su Hui awakened all his powers without even knowing it, including his two brothers and nephew.

It wasn't until he met Pei Hanhai, the commander of Fushan City, today that he realized he wasn't the only one who was different.

Vertical pupils must be one's life bone.

Since it is an innate supernatural power, it naturally has extraordinary effects.

The vertical pupil now possesses two abilities: one is "Insight into Truth," and the other is "Heavenly Fortune."

"Insight" means to see the "truth" and to transform it into a way that one can understand.

As your thoughts turn.

An analysis that only he could understand appeared before him.

[The Heavenly Eye shines down, surveying the eight directions; the Mysterious Firmament issues decrees, bestowing celestial edicts. A thousand lines of cloud-script script condense into purple aura; a spoonful of the Milky Way transforms into celestial nectar.]

[Spiritual Essence: 25]

Life Points: 18

[Heavenly Fortune: 100]

The effects of destiny are somewhat complex.

Currently, the Vertical Pupil Heavenly Eye can accumulate one point of Heavenly Fortune each day. By consuming Heavenly Fortune points, one can exchange them for Heavenly Fortune blessings.

There are tiers to the blessings, starting with 100 points, then 1000, and so on. Zuo Qi thinks that the blessing effects obtained at each tier are different.

Fortunately, today, I finally collected 100 points of Heavenly Fortune.

A full hundred days.

I wonder what I will receive from my first blessing?

I couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Thoughts shift.

Suddenly, his gaze rose infinitely high, as if he were sitting on a cloud, looking down at the vast world. However, what he saw was not specific; there were no birds or other creatures. Instead, there were countless active energies in the world.

These gases are wind, thunder, or starlight.

The earth was shrouded in countless dark orbs of light, making it impossible for him to see where he was.

My vision blurred.

Countless golden lights filled his vision, coalescing and finally transforming into a cloud-like talisman that flew towards his face.

His gaze was suddenly drawn back to the dilapidated house.

A message popped into my mind.

[Offering sacrifices to Heaven for a hundred points of fortune, gaining blessings from creation - Ming Shu's Breeze]

【A Breeze of Brightness: Capture a wisp of brightness through the Heavenly Eye, witness creation within the wind daily, and receive four streams of divine energy and blood. This blessing lasts for one year.】

A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Qi's face.

Can you improve your blood circulation by simply blowing in the wind every day?

Jin Yi Gong is an entry-level martial arts technique. Li Gang said during his lecture today that if one can sense a wisp of qi and blood within three days, it means one has good aptitude for martial arts.

With this blessing, even if Zuo Qi's aptitude is so poor that it's unbearable to look at, he will still have at least four strands of Qi and Blood every day.

Even if it takes two doses of Qi and Blood to temper the skin and flesh every day, there is still a chance to break through to the second level in two months.

This blessing...

This surprised Zuo Qi.

No wonder those people outside the city gates were so shocked to see Pei Hanhai today.

They possess innate supernatural abilities and are born superior to others!

Zuo Qi can only obtain one Heavenly Fortune Point per day at present, but it is not impossible to improve.

Destroying the core of the demon's lair will grant you Heavenly Fortune Points and increase the amount of Heavenly Fortune you can obtain daily.

Demon's Nest...

Zuo Qi felt a headache whenever he thought about it.

The Demon Nest, as the name suggests, is the lair of demons. Legend has it that demons are not made of flesh and blood, but are born from the Demon Nest.

Zuo Qi's current strength is probably not even enough to deal with the lowest-ranking demons, let alone break into the demon's lair and destroy its core.

This…

That was one of the reasons he was willing to join the Lin family's patrol.

Because of destiny, he had to come into contact with demons; because of Dongzhen, he felt he could see mountain demons that ordinary people could not perceive.

To destroy the demon's lair, one must understand it. As a prominent family in Fushan City and relatives of the emperor, the Lin family possesses a vast collection of books and must have some knowledge of the demon's lair.
