My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

As soon as Lu Zheng gave the order, a powerful energy began to circulate within his body.

In his mind, the two techniques were constantly colliding and then merging.

This caused subtle changes in Lu Zheng's muscles, as if every cell was becoming more active.

My understanding of knife skills has also become more profound.

After the two techniques were completely integrated, Lu Zheng felt as if he had merged with the battle blade.

Name: Lu Zheng

Age: 17

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Blood Refining Realm]

[Martial Arts Technique: Fourth-Rank Low-Grade Martial Art "Dragon Elephant Heavenly Palace Skill" (3829/10000 Minor Success)]

[Medical Skills: "Mu's Medical Classic (292/50000 Perfection)"]

[Achievement Points: 2272]

Looking at the new data now.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Lu Zheng's face.

Although it is still a fourth-grade low-level martial art, it is much more profound than before. According to his speculation, if he wants to advance the technique to the next level, he will need three fourth-grade low-level martial arts manuals.

We still need to continue searching for cultivation methods.

A level four cultivation technique is no longer considered low-level. Given his current strength and power, finding one would be quite difficult.

However, he wasn't worried. He was about to sweep through all the major sects, and then he wouldn't lack cultivation techniques.

Thinking about this, his anticipation grew even stronger.

Looking at the sky, Lu Zheng realized it was getting late and decided to rest.

After all, we have to leave tomorrow.

Nothing happened that night. As soon as it was dawn, Lu Zheng was already dressed in his armor and heading outside.

  

Although he didn't sleep for long that night, it didn't have much of an impact on Lu Zheng.

When we got to the front yard.

Huang Yan and Wei Cheng are already waiting.

The latter was wearing heavy armor and carrying two warhammers.

Each hammerhead was as large as a washbasin in diameter and gleamed with a dark purple luster.

It has a sense of weight and antiquity, and must have been passed down from the Wei family ancestors.

At this moment, Wei Cheng stood still, like an iron tower.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

The two bowed and said.

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "No need for formalities, is everything ready?"

"My lord, everything is ready. We've also notified the camps outside. They'll break camp as soon as we leave the city," Huang Yan said immediately.

Lu Zheng nodded: "Then let's go."

He knew that this trip would inevitably stir up a bloody storm.

But for him, it was also a good opportunity to grow stronger.

Then, Lu Zheng leaped onto his horse and galloped forward.

As the group rushed out of the city gate, they saw a figure already waiting there—it was Xia Nihuang.

Today, she was dressed in a moon-white outfit and wore a bamboo hat to cover her face.

A long sword hung at his waist.

She resembled a female knight-errant wandering the martial arts world.

When Lu Zheng saw her, he was also a little surprised. He had originally planned to leave the city early today and leave Xia Nihuang behind.

I didn't expect them to be here so early.

Xia Nihuang seemed to have seen through Lu Zheng's thoughts, and pursed her lips, saying, "Leaving so early, are you afraid I'll follow you?"

"No, no, it's just that I'm a little rushed today." Lu Zheng naturally wouldn't admit it.

Xia Nihuang didn't argue with him too much, but silently came to his side.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng could only smile helplessly. Because of Old Master Zhuang's influence, he couldn't just kick them out.

Moreover, he and Xia Nihuang are now considered friends, although the latter rarely speaks.

After walking forward for a while, a group of tens of thousands of people gathered together.

Deputy Commander Shi Heng is a master at the peak of the Refining Realm.

During this period, he had been in control of the troops stationed outside the city.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, he immediately dismounted and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Excellency. The 11,000 men of the Thousand-Household Garrison have all assembled and are ready for Your Excellency's inspection."

"No need for formalities," Lu Zheng said calmly.

Then, looking ahead, a thousand elite cavalrymen stood at the very front.

They all wore patterned battle robes, black short armor, and short crossbows.

The 10,000 strongmen were different; they all wore heavy black armor and carried heavy weapons.

Behind the carriage, there were more than a dozen crossbow carts.

These are all items that Lu Zheng requested to be provided.

Then, he said casually, "Let's go to Fengling County."

Fengling County is the closest county to Fufeng County.

Since the inspection was to be conducted, it was naturally no problem for Lu Zheng to make it his first stop.

Moreover, there should be a hidden sect there.

Lu Zheng wanted to conquer each place one by one.

"Yes, sir!" Shi Heng replied and then ordered a vanguard to lead the way.

The eagle banners of the Hundred Cavalry Division fluttered in the air.

Just as Lu Zheng and his group were heading towards Fengling County.

At this moment, Lu Xiong was seeing his son Lu Yun off outside the city. He had a smile on his face as he looked at his son and said, "When you go to the capital this time, you must perform well in front of your teacher, understand?"

"Vice Minister of War, keeping you by my side is the greatest affirmation of your abilities. The future of the Lu family depends on you. Take this money with you; if it's not enough, send word home, and I will arrange for someone to send you more."

Over the years, Lu Xiong has accumulated a considerable amount of money, in addition to what the Lu family has saved up over generations.

Although business is tough these days, we still have a very substantial fortune.

This time, upon learning that his son's mentor, Fu Qing, had been promoted to Vice Minister of War and was taking Lu Yun to develop his career in the capital while retaining his student status, he was pleased to discover that Fu Qing was also involved in the development of the capital.

I was excited for a long time.

With a wave of his hand, he gave Lu Yun 200,000 taels of silver as expenses for bribing officials after he went to the capital.

That's incredibly generous.

"Father, rest assured, I will make a name for myself in the capital this time."

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "By the way, Father, those people who sent me the message a few days ago should arrive in our county today. Please make arrangements for them then."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll arrange it properly. He's a good friend of your senior brother, so there won't be any problems," Lu Xiong said with a smile.

Now, his son is quite a figure, and those who seek him out all have various complicated backgrounds in Daxia.

As a businessman, he naturally understands that having more friends means having more options.

After giving his instructions, Lu Yun didn't linger and left with a few servants.

As for Lu Xiong, he didn't head into the city until he could no longer see his son.

However, as soon as he entered the city gate, he ran into his brother-in-law.

Upon noticing him, the other person immediately stepped forward and grabbed him, saying, "Hurry and come with me to the north gate to greet someone. A very important person is coming soon. The county magistrate and the garrison commander have both gone. You are the wealthiest merchant in the area, so you must go too."

As the local county magistrate, Lu Xiong's brother-in-law was naturally among the crowd welcoming them.

"What kind of important person is he?" Lu Xiong was a little confused.

"How would I know? But I heard it's the Hundred Cavalry, a bunch of killing gods. Be careful when dealing with them." After saying that, she pulled Lu Xiong toward the north gate.
