My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

The "Dragon Elephant Demon Art" that Lu Zheng is currently practicing includes sword techniques, leg techniques, and a set of mental techniques.

Now that he has been promoted to the fourth rank, his level is quite high.

In particular, this technique was tailor-made for Lu Zheng, which resulted in it generating significantly more power than a typical fifth-grade technique.

It should be understood that once a martial arts technique reaches the sixth rank, it enters the realm of divine skills, and if it were to be displayed in the martial arts world, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath.

A fifth-grade cultivation technique can be considered extremely advanced.

When he fought Xiao Zun, he used all his skills.

Not only were their footwork incredibly fast, but their mental attacks were also being unleashed simultaneously.

It could even make Xiao Zun lose his composure for a moment.

The battle lasted for a whole afternoon.

The two stopped fighting as it was getting dark.

At this moment, Xiao Zun looked at Lu Zheng with a solemn expression: "Your talent is truly the strongest I have ever seen. You can continuously improve yourself in battle. At the age of seventeen, you have reached such a level. It is inevitable that you will achieve innate talent in the future."

Especially your cultivation method, which is incredibly strange and unpredictable, seemingly extracting the essence of many different techniques; it's truly extraordinary.

"Haha, let's not talk about that anymore. You're leaving tomorrow, and I'm going to the prefectural city too. Let's have a good drink today," Lu Zheng said. He was really reluctant to see Xiao Zun leave.

This guy is strong enough, smart enough, and looks fierce enough. I'll be much safer with someone like him by my side when I go out.

Unfortunately, he also realized that the person Xiao Zun had provoked was probably someone of considerable background, and with Lu Zheng's current strength and status, it was unlikely he could protect him.

Especially now, the Black Ice Guard has been relentlessly pursuing Xiao Zun.

There's nothing to do inside the manor, but once you go outside...

Lu Zheng was also at a loss.

"Alright, let's have a drink then. Come to think of it, I haven't had a proper drink since I've been out here for so long," Xiao Zun said softly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng pulled him into the house.

At the same time, have someone serve drinks and food.

In a short while, the table was filled to the brim.

Lu Zheng raised his glass and said, "After this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again. I'll toast you."

"Drink!" Xiao Zun raised his cup and downed it in one gulp.

Only within Lu Zheng's residence would he dare to do such a thing.

If it were anywhere else, he wouldn't dare drink at all, because there were too many people who wanted him dead, including people from the martial arts world and people from the imperial court.

"I don't know where you're going next. Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to say, you don't have to," Lu Zheng said, picking up a bite of food after finishing his drink.

"What can't I tell you? I originally wanted to continue looking for my enemies, but you're right. I was almost killed when I faced a Black Ice Guard's thousand-household garrison alone last time, let alone my enemy."

Therefore, I'm preparing to go to the Black Corner Region.

Upon hearing Xiao Zun's words, Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

He had heard of the Black Corner Region; it was the place where the three dynasties of Great Xia, Great Yu, and Great Zhou met, and it was also known as the no-man's-land.

It is said that many remnants of the sects of the Great Xia Dynasty are hiding among them.

This place is the domain of sects, a synonym for darkness and chaos.

It is said that back then, even a princess of a dynasty was kidnapped and taken to the Black Corner Region. In the end, she had no choice but to pay a ransom to buy her back, which shows how chaotic it was inside.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zun was going there.

However, looking at it now, this place is indeed suitable for Xiao Zun to stay in.

"Alright, I don't have much to say. If you encounter any difficulties when you get there, just let me know. I'll definitely lend a hand if I can."

"I won't stand on ceremony with you," Xiao Zun said in a low voice after finishing his bowl.

Next, the two drank while planning Xiao Zun's development in the Black Corner Region.

The night passed by in the blink of an eye.

Although they hadn't slept all night, both of them were very energetic and didn't feel tired.

As soon as it was light, Xiao Zun changed his clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and climbed out from the backyard.

Lu Zheng, under the protection of Wei Tong and dozens of elite cavalrymen, rode his warhorse towards the outside of the city.

Fufeng County is not far from the prefectural city; it takes only a day's journey at a fast pace.

As darkness fell, they finally saw a huge city.

Qingyang Prefecture is not very famous in the Northern Frontier, but the city still has hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of people every year.

This world is much larger in area and has a much larger population than the world Lu Zheng lived in the previous life.

The main reason is that some martial artists, after improving their strength, have abundant qi and blood, and thus live a long life.

Take the current emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, for example; he is said to have lived for several hundred years.

The founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty lived to be over a thousand years old before passing away.

When their lifespan is about to end, they will disperse their yang energy to have children, frantically continuing their lineage.

It is said that there is a way to pass on one's life's cultivation to an heir after death.

This has led to a long-lasting and prosperous population.

At this time, the city gates of Qingyang Prefecture were not yet closed, and Lu Zheng and his companions rode their warhorses straight into the city.

The city guards, seeing that it was the Hundred Cavalry Division, naturally dared not stop them.

The army of the Great Xia was divided into the Imperial Guard, the Border Guard, and the City Guard.

Among them, the Imperial Guard holds the highest position and is the strongest, being the elite of the elite in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, with only 800,000 of them.

As for the border troops, their numbers are in the millions. They are responsible for border operations, have rich combat experience, and are quite powerful.

As for the city guards, they were responsible for guarding the city and were the lowest rank.

Therefore, they certainly didn't dare to utter a word when facing the Hundred Cavalry.

"My lord, shall we go directly to the Medicine King Pavilion? Or shall we go tomorrow?" Wei Tong asked after entering the city.

The Medicine King Pavilion is a very large force, spread across the lands of the Three Dynasties and Five Barbarian Regions.

Their business in elixirs is very large.

They were a renowned aristocratic family, and even members of the royal family had to show them respect.

Lu Zheng came to the Medicine King Pavilion this time to try and open up a channel for purchasing pills.

After all, he couldn't possibly refine enough pills to support his subordinates' cultivation by himself, even if he worked himself to death. Therefore, cooperating with the Medicine King Pavilion was the best option.

Moreover, and most importantly, the opponent is very strong.

In a critical moment, it might provide unexpected help.

"Let's go straight there and see what's going on at the Medicine King Pavilion," Lu Zheng said calmly.

Wei Tong dared not delay and immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, he led the way towards the Medicine King Pavilion, but Wei Tong didn't actually have high hopes for this cooperation.

What kind of power is the Medicine King Pavilion? It is an existence that all dynasties' royal families must deal with with caution, an existence that can stir up storms.

If the Xiao family is the top family in the Great Xia Dynasty, then the Medicine King Pavilion is the top family in the entire continent. The time difference between the two is not small.

Lu Zheng is currently just a mere centurion; cooperating with him would be extremely difficult.

At the same time, inside the Medicine King Pavilion of Qingyang Prefecture, the Deputy Pavilion Master, Qingdai, dressed in a light long dress, sat in the back courtyard living room, her delicate brows furrowed, and said to a steward below, "Are the physicians of our Qingyang branch still unable to concoct a pill formula that can nourish essence and blood?"

"Sect Master, this kind of pill formula is at least a fourth-grade pill formula, or even a fifth-grade one. Only some divine physicians can refine it. It would be quite difficult for our branch to obtain it," the manager said bitterly.

He knew Qingdai was anxious, after all, since the Pavilion Master was transferred, she had been the Deputy Pavilion Master for a year, and had not yet been promoted to the permanent position.

This time, an order was issued from above, instructing all branches under the Medicine King Pavilion to develop elixirs that could nourish essence and blood.

After all, elixirs that extend lifespan are too difficult to refine.

Some important figures whose lifespans are about to run out can only maintain their condition by using elixirs that nourish their essence and blood.

If they can establish a branch pavilion, then Qingdai becoming the pavilion master is inevitable.

However, this is quite difficult.

"Sigh, go and keep urging them. No matter what, try to find a suitable formula as soon as possible." Qingdai waved her hand weakly.

The manager had no choice but to leave.

Just then, Lu Zheng and his group stopped outside a pavilion, which turned out to be the Medicine King Pavilion of Qingyang Prefecture.
