From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

In just over ten days, Chen Shi submitted nearly forty assassination missions, accumulating enough points to upgrade to a fourth-level member!

Even if Chen Shi's strength far surpasses that of other martial artists of the same rank, it would be impossible for him to complete so many tasks in such a short time.

In fact, besides himself, there were also Zhe Liu and Chen Bi. The three of them together made it possible to move so quickly.

Fufeng only cares about the result and not the process. Even if no one knew that Chen Shi had hired help, it wouldn't matter.

"It's finally done."

At night, Chen Shi returned to the Zhiyi Divination Hall and looked at the opened secret passage with a deep gaze.

This time, no one else accompanied him; Chen Shi entered the secret passage by himself.

After going down the stairs, you enter a long corridor.

Chen Shi did not immediately move forward, but instead took out a mercury plate from his pocket and placed it on the ground. After a moment, the magnetic needle inside slowly tilted.

"really."

A slight smile appeared on his lips. He had guessed correctly; the passage was not flat!

The degree of inclination of the channel can be determined by the degree of tilt of the magnetic needle.

Chen Shi silently memorized the information, put away the mercury tray, and then continued walking forward, silently memorizing the path as he went, just as before.

Soon, you'll reach the first fork in the road. Observe the small insects on the wall; the correct path is the one with three insects.

But unlike last time, Chen Shi couldn't help but smile again. The altar master was indeed cautious and had changed the course again.

Upon entering a fork in the road, use a mercury pan to measure the incline of the path again, and then continue forward, memorizing the route as you go.

The same thing happened from then on. What should have been a journey that took one incense stick to travel took almost two incense sticks to complete before finally reaching the end of the passage.

Looking at the stairs in front of him, Chen Shi was already confident and didn't think about anything else, so he went straight up.

Opening the partition, it was still the same secret room. The altar master, wearing the same tiger-striped mask with the character "王" (king), sat behind the table as before.

"Congratulations, you've been promoted to fourth rank."

Without uttering a single wasted word, the altar master took out a new token and placed it on the table.

In reality, the forum administrator rarely speaks. This is likely to avoid revealing his identity, as too much talk can lead to mistakes.

Chen Shi came over, put down the old token, and picked up the new one.

Apart from the fact that the "fifth grade" label on the back has been changed to "fourth grade", there is no difference.

"Thank you, Master."

"Um."

The altar master nodded and continued.

"You now have a total of 103 points. Would you like to exchange them for something?"

"it is good."

Chen Shi agreed, as he had the same idea.

There's no point in keeping money in your hands; it only has value when you exchange it for tangible goods.

Moreover, Chen Shi has already achieved his goal, and he probably won't be doing any more tasks to accumulate points. Since he only has these points, he might as well use them up sooner to make them valuable.

"Whatever you want, as long as you want it, Fufeng Society can fulfill it."

"I've heard of a type of Gu worm called the Heart-Eating Gu."

"Each one is counted at ten points."

"...Give me three!"

It's so expensive!

You need to kill three or four people to accumulate enough points to exchange for one.

Chen Shi originally wanted to exchange for more, but now, gritting his teeth, he only exchanged for three.

You have 73 points left in savings.

"I also want a martial arts technique!"

"Blood Nourishing Martial Arts: Low-grade requires 30 points, Mid-grade requires 40 points, and High-grade requires 50 points; Qi Explosion Martial Arts: Low-grade requires 70 points, Mid-grade requires 80 points, and High-grade requires 90 points."

The Fufeng Society also possesses martial arts techniques that condense form, and even those at the Xuan level, but the sect leader did not elaborate further.

Chen Shi only had 73 points left in savings, so there was no point in saying anything.

"I want a low-grade explosive martial art!"

"Specific type".

"Shenfa! There is no requirement for anything else, as long as you are fast enough!"

Chen Shi already had a plan in mind, so he spoke it out directly.

In terms of movement techniques, Chen Shi already possesses the skill of "Aerial Crossing," which is also a high-grade martial art that utilizes explosive energy!

However, the advantage of gliding through the air lies in its unpredictable and elusive nature. In terms of pure speed, unless it is in special terrain, it does not have much of an advantage.

What Chen Shi really wants is a movement technique suitable for running on flat ground.

All that's required is speed; frankly, it's for escaping.

"There is a movement technique called 'Leaving the Bow Step,' which transforms the body into an arrow. Once executed, it is like an arrow released from a bow, and its speed can reach a thousand miles a day. However, it consumes a great deal of blood and energy."

"This is the door!"

Without a second thought, Chen Shi immediately agreed.

He has no other skills, except that he has a lot of vitality.

You have three points left to accumulate.

"What else can we do at three o'clock? Let's save it."

Chen Shi smiled and didn't make any further requests.

In fact, even a small amount of savings can be exchanged for a considerable amount of silver.

However, Chen Shi is not short of money at the moment, and he does not want the altar master to notice anything amiss, thus creating unnecessary complications.

"Collect it at Zhiyi Divination Hall in three days."

The altar master said something indifferently, then raised his hand, indicating that Chen Shi could leave.

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

Chen Shi bowed and turned to leave.

After descending the stairs, Chen Shi returned the way he came, silently memorizing the path once more.

By the time I returned to the Zhiyi Guaguan, the mental map had been fully formed.

"Congratulations."

Ke Buxia was still sitting there, and Chen Shi said in a cold voice.

Thank you.

Chen Shi thanked him and left the fortune-telling shop.

Immediately afterwards, I returned home as quickly as possible and, just like last time, drew the image from my memory.

Comparing the two previous images, it was clear that the endpoint of the third image deviated after taking the channel tilt into account.

Chen Shi smiled slightly, which further proved that the current diagram was correct.

Take out the detailed map of Yongqiu City and, based on the new distances, re-determine a point: 1217 meters to the east and 936 meters to the south!

Looking at the newly marked points, Chen Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; this time it should be correct.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, Chen Shi, fully covered up, led Du Yueming, whose face was also concealed, to the location he had marked.

This time, it was a private residence.

The courtyard was small and seemed no different from the surrounding houses.

The gate was locked, and the keyhole was rusted shut. Peeking through the crack in the gate, the weeds in the yard were as tall as a person.

It looks like this courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time.

"This must be it!"

Chen Shi, however, was filled with excitement. This time, there was absolutely no mistake. The secret room where the altar master had seen him last night must be hidden in this house.

The claim that the place is uninhabited is just a smokescreen.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Shi immediately left with Du Yueming after confirming the situation.

"Find out who owns this house quickly, and without leaving any trace."

As they walked, Chen Shi gave a solemn instruction.

"understood."

Early in the morning, Chen Shi suddenly brought him to an empty courtyard. Du Yueming didn't ask what Chen Shi wanted to do or what the reason was.

Since Chen Shi had given the order, he only needed to carry it out.

"Let's see where you run now!"

Watching Du Yueming's departing figure, Chen Shi smiled slightly. Now, the identity of the altar master could no longer be hidden!
