Martial God Development Plan

"Thanks to you, I am fully awake now..." Ji Zhao complained and subconsciously glanced out the window. It was still early. Guqu was truly a pure elementary school student on a spring outing. She would only wake up early in the morning at this time. Otherwise, based on her usual habits, she would definitely sleep for a while longer. But no matter what, she was much better than Ji Tan and Yun Xiao, the two lazy dogs. The two were the type who could sleep until dawn without anyone supervising them.

Ji Zhao put on the Scarlet God Robe, put on the Blood Battle Pendant, pushed the door open and walked out: "What's wrong?"

"Let's go out and have some fun today!" Gu Qu seemed very excited. "This is Taixuan City. I don't know how many times I can come to Taixuan City in my lifetime."

Taixuan City is indeed a special place. If you want to choose a holy place in the hearts of Ning people, then it is undoubtedly the Great Snow Mountain. And if you want to choose a holy place in the hearts of Yan people, then, in addition to the Dengshen Mountain where the Twelve Eternal Heavenly Gates are located, it is Taixuan City... Moreover, unlike the Dengshen Mountain where you can only stand there and stare blankly without the Tianguan Ru Meng Ling, Taixuan City has a very strong martial arts atmosphere and is also equipped with various martial arts-related activities. It is always very lively during the Youth Heroes Conference, not to mention that it is now a martial arts conference of a higher level.

"Okay." Ji Zhao did not refuse, "Go ask Master Mo and Senior Sister Fu."

Although the martial arts conference is still half a month away, as the leader of Luohe Pavilion, Liu Hanying will definitely have something to do next. Even if he is temporarily free, it is impossible for him to hang out with the disciples. If something suddenly happens and he can't be found, it would be a bit funny, so Ji Zhao didn't mention him.

The two of them went to look for Mo Yu and Fu Caige... Mo Yu rejected them both. Looking at her expression, it was obvious that she had her own things to do, so Ji Zhao did not force her. As for Fu Caige, she rejected Ji Zhao on the grounds that she did not like to show up in public - that was true. With her beauty, it would be a big trouble if she was recognized.

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 69: Sooner or later you will understand

Ji Zhao originally wanted to look for Han Shou, but after asking two servants in the mansion, no one knew where the disciples of Zhenwu Mountain lived, so Ji Zhao did not force it.

"Where do you want to go?" Ji Zhao hadn't made any plans beforehand, but he was indeed somewhat interested in Taixuan City, so he gave the choice to Gu Qu, "Don't go to a place that's too remote, maybe the Taoist priest is hiding somewhere."

It is not necessarily true that Ji Zhao was afraid of Taoist Dong at this moment. He even wanted to end everything with him, but that did not mean that he would take the initiative to deliver himself to him. As for being in crowded places, there was basically no need to be too afraid. Now all the warriors in the world gathered in Taixuan City. It was not the Wuling City of the past. Unless something special happened, Taoist Dong would be killed in vain if he jumped out with his injured body.

"I know." Gu Qu was in high spirits. "Brother Ji, just follow me. I've wanted to come to Taixuan City ten years ago! Maybe I know it better than the locals!"

Not long after, Gu Qu, who claimed to be "more familiar with the place than the locals," brought Ji Zhao to the same intersection for the third time. This time, even she couldn't hold it back. When she came the second time, she made up a few excuses for herself. This third time......

Perhaps he felt that he would not reach his destination if he continued walking like this, so this guy who had always only known how to bully others was silent for two seconds, and then he pushed Ji Zhao confidently: "Brother Ji...why don't you go ask for directions, how to get to Shengwu Street?"

Ji Zhao was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Lost?"

This obvious question was of course intended to humiliate Gu Qu, who was furious, and then spoke in a low voice with some lack of confidence: "Horse...horse stumbles, this is too complicated in Taixuan City."

"Then why do you want me to ask for directions?" Gu Qu didn't seem embarrassed this time. She laughed, patted Ji Zhao's shoulder, and said cheerfully, "Because I'm embarrassed!"

"...With your attitude, I don't know what to say to you."

Ji Zhao sighed and went to ask for directions. However, the person he chose was not a good one. He was an old man with a very bad memory and was very confident. He pointed them to the wrong way and seemed very confident. In the end, Ji Zhao and Gu Qu took a lot of detours before they arrived at the famous Shengwu Street.

Ji Zhao had heard of the reputation of this street several times... The characteristic of this street was undoubtedly martial arts. It provided a platform for buying and selling martial arts skills and magic weapons. This sounded very ordinary. It could have the same effect by setting up a small black market in the fantasy world. However, it was extremely valuable in this world. You need to know how many messes were involved in the matter of selling the Blood War Scripture.

In addition, there are also some small activities and competitions, which need not be elaborated one by one.

Ji Zhao followed Gu Qu here, in fact, he also had some thoughts of picking up bargains. Who is he? A time traveler with cheats! If he wants, he can even draw three lucky lots in a row. He can see through all the props with attributes in the game at a glance. With this ability, picking up bargains is easy.

However, Ji Zhao was indeed overthinking it.

The world of martial arts is not a world of cultivating immortals. Here, the only props that clearly have special value are heavenly weapons and very few imitations. As for the other weapons, whether they are good or bad, it is actually just that. Their sharpness and toughness are not that important. Anyway, as long as the materials are similar, their suitability for internal energy will be similar, and they are just consumables.

......It is worth mentioning that in Shengwu Street, many people are selling the so-called "Wordless Heavenly Book", specializing in taking advantage of outsider fools like Gu Qu who are full of fantasies about the biographies of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books. Ji Zhao is embarrassed to say that he might have the real one in his arms, or it was the one left over by no one who wanted it.

However, Shengwu Street has been famous in China for many years, so naturally there are good things there. Ji Zhao saw the medicinal materials that Lie Yufei had spent a lot of effort to get in Wangbei City in a store, but the prices were so high that they made people tremble with fear.

Gu Qu was full of enthusiasm before coming to Shengwu Street, but after arriving, she slowly calmed down. She had practiced martial arts in Luohe Pavilion for more than a year and had been taught by famous teachers for a long time. How could she not see that many of the martial arts techniques sold here were third-rate stuff? Her childhood filter was thus broken bit by bit.

There was nothing that could be done about it. In terms of martial arts alone, Luohe Pavilion was second to none among all the sects in the world, and it was also very generous to its disciples, which made other places look even more stingy. Furthermore, how could the truly high-end goods in Shengwu Street be shown to an outsider who hadn't revealed any of his background?

"disappointed?"

Ji Zhao said.

"Well... a little bit." Gu Qu didn't hide it and nodded honestly. She looked up at the sky, her expression no longer as enthusiastic as at the beginning, but with a hint of confusion. "When I was a child, I heard people say that there was nothing that couldn't be bought in Shengwu Street, and all the martial arts secrets in the world were here... Although what I see now is definitely not all, but the outside is like this, no matter how good the inside is, how much better can it be?"

"I am somewhat disappointed as well." Ji Zhao smiled, "I thought I could find some heavenly tools or something like that here."

"......?!" Gu Qu was startled at first, then he laughed in surprise and said, "I thought you would talk about some great principles like the Pavilion Master, but I didn't expect you to be more dreamy than me."

Ji Zhao said: "I do have two great truths to say."

Gu Qu immediately put on an attitude of "I knew I couldn't escape" and "I'm ready" and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on!"

Just as Ji Zhao was about to speak, Gu Qu suddenly woke up and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that sentence?"

Ji Zhao was anxious and annoyed when he heard this. He was very dissatisfied with Han Gongqiu for stealing his catchphrase. He said, "I am not Master Qiu. I never say that sentence casually. If I tell you that you will understand, then you will understand it sooner or later."

Gu Qu touched his chin, a little doubtful: "But you said it so many times, I still don't know when I will understand."

"The time has not come yet."

"When will it arrive?"

Ji Zhao looked at the ancient music and said nothing, but what he wanted to say was conveyed silently.

"Yes! Yes! I knew it would be that sentence again!" Gu Qu made a gesture of surrender. "Well, let's go back to the beginning. Brother Ji, what do you want to say about my disappointment in Shengwu Street?"

Ji Zhao said, "If it were you a year and a half ago, these third-rate secrets would have been enough to excite you for a long time, let alone you as a child."

"But, I..." Gu Qu started to speak, but then stopped there. She was silent for a long while, and opened her mouth several times, but finally swallowed it back. After more than ten breaths, she whispered, "Brother Ji, the masters always say that I am still a child."

"They might have meant to say it was like that."

"So am I like him, or am I?"

"You will understand sooner or later," Ji Zhao said, "and by then, you will be neither like nor like."

Volume 5: Human Escape Part 1: Chapter 70: Earthquake

In fact, Ji Zhao felt that it was not so much that Gu Qu lacked the ability in combat, but rather that she lacked the self-awareness of being a strong person. In her subconscious, she was still a disciple who could hide behind her master when encountering problems, but in fact, her panel data was already half a monster. Her amazing physique coupled with her perfectly adapted skills, combined, made for her amazing growth rate, but she did not realize this deeply, perhaps because she was defeated instantly by Ji Zhao in sparring all day long, or perhaps because she was scolded by Mo Yu all day long, or perhaps it was simply her nature.

But it doesn't matter, she will understand sooner or later... At least Ji Zhao thought so. Most of the doubts in this world are wrapped in layer upon layer of spider silk. If you insist on peeling off these spider silks and peeking at the truth at an inappropriate time, you will only end up unable to get rid of the spider silk and you might even be bitten by the poisonous spider called the truth inside, leaving scars that will be difficult to heal for the rest of your life. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave the answer to the future and wait for a long time to wash away everything.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." The filter of Gu Qu's childhood was mostly shattered, and he finally lost interest in Shengwu Street. "It's almost time for dinner... Brother Ji, let's go to Guanyue Tower to eat Jinyunchou."

Jinyunchou, which sounds like the name of a kind of silk, is actually a famous dish of Taixuan City. The best dish is made in Guanyue Tower, which was praised by a poet in the previous dynasty and thus became famous. In terms of popularity alone without considering the taste, it is a bit like West Lake Vinegar Fish to Hangzhou. It is a very representative food with city characteristics.

"No..." Ji Zhao was a little embarrassed. "Jinyun silk is a famous dish in Taixuan City. I am a little interested in it, but the one in Guanyue Tower...I'm afraid it's not cheap."

It was good that Ji Zhao was supported by Lie Lian, but as an adult male who had once been financially free and whose mental age was 25, he frequently asked Lie Lian, a little girl, for money... Although it is said that in order to achieve great things, one should use any means necessary, one must have the courage of Liu Bang who threw his child under the car while escaping and demanded a share of the spoils when his own father was caught.

Although he thought so, it was still difficult to do it in practice. Although Lielian seldom asked, if she suddenly got excited and asked Ji Zhao where the money had been spent, if Ji Zhao had used it on medicinal baths, then it would be justified. But if he had used it for personal enjoyment... even if Lielian didn't say anything, Ji Zhao himself would not be able to stand it.

"Don't be polite, I'll treat you!" Gu Qu was very generous. Ji Zhao had never been sure about her financial resources. He didn't see her enjoying much luxury on weekdays, but when she really needed money, he had never seen Gu Qu lack money.

At this point, Ji Zhao no longer refused and said with a smile: "Then I'd better obey your command."

"Hehe." Gu Qu smiled and was about to leave Shengwu Street with Ji Zhao, but he caught a glimpse of a thin figure from the corner of his eye. He was startled, "Brother Ji, look... that person looks like Master Mo."

Ji Zhao looked in the direction her finger was pointing. There was a woman who looked to be in her twenties or thirties. She had snow-white skin and long jet-black hair that was tied up in the middle and held in front of her body. There was a hint of resentment between her brows, and her figure was thin and frail, as if she would be blown away by a gust of wind.

She and Mo Yu look more than alike, they are simply carved from the same mold. Anyone who is not a fool would know that these two are related by blood...but, because they look quite young, it is hard to tell whether they are sisters or mother and daughter.

"...Is this Master Mo's mother?" Gu Qu touched his chin and made a guess first. After all, Mo Yu never said that she had any sisters. "Come to think of it, Pavilion Master and Master Mo have the same father but different mothers, but they have different surnames. That is to say, one of the two mothers must be unusual..."

It was extremely rare in the feudal era for a child to take his mother's surname, and what the ancient song said was correct.

"Who knows?" Ji Zhao said, "Let's go."

“Ah… yeah!”

Gu Qu didn't think too much about it and followed Ji Zhao. Although she was curious and wanted to go up and talk to her, she suppressed this desire. Everyone has secrets, so why bother digging into them?

......

"It's delicious...I'll come again tomorrow."

Jinyun silk lives up to its name. It is made from a mixture of fish roe, crab meat, shellfish meat and some soy products, and spread out to look like silk. One bite of it is simply a huge blow to the taste buds. Both the texture and taste are impeccable. It's just that the price is a bit painful.

Gu Qu transformed into Taogui and even used his internal energy to speed up his digestion. Even so, he finally walked out by holding on to the wall.

Ji Zhao was a little amused and said, "You've eaten so much today, and you're coming tomorrow? Take it easy."

"I am the type who will eat until I get tired of delicious food..." Gu Qu said, then paused for a moment, his face twisted, "Brother Ji... I'm going to the bathroom."

Ji Zhao raised his chin slightly. He had a good memory, so after recalling a little, he said, "Cross this street and walk south for a few dozen meters. There is a Dongsi."

"I'm leaving..." Gu Qu spoke with difficulty, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "See you there then."

As she spoke, she pointed to the side, which was an antique street and a great place to kill time.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Ji Zhao's response, he left with somewhat awkward and difficult steps... It seemed that he had eaten too much and too fast just now, and there was something wrong with the operation of his internal energy, so that his stomach was in a state of severe discomfort.

Ji Zhao came to an antique street on the side, looked around for a while, then went to a shop, and walked from the first floor to the second floor, but unfortunately he still didn't find any bargains. He felt really sorry. It was rare for him to have such a rare ability, and he came to the right occasion, but in the end he returned empty-handed. He felt more or less regretful.

"Sir, is there really nothing you like here?"

Ji Zhao shook his head, put down his things, and was about to say something when suddenly a series of dull noises came from below, and the antiques on the treasure shelf next to him began to jump violently.

bump!

The porcelain fell to the ground and exploded, but the fragments did not stay where they were, but instead shook and moved in all directions.

The panicked voices of passers-by were heard below, and the ground beneath their feet shook violently... Without any warning, Taixuan City was hit by a major earthquake!

Volume 5: Escape 1: Chapter 71: Destined Reunion

Bowls, plates and porcelain fell to pieces, tables and chairs were dragged stiffly on the ground, making harsh friction sounds, panicked screams came one after another, and in the face of the sudden power of heaven and earth, the Taixuan City, which was thriving in the last second, was shrouded in miserable and gloomy clouds. The atmosphere of panic was the strongest virus, spreading throughout the city in the blink of an eye.

Ji Zhao was not too panicked. To put it bluntly, in his current state, with the scarlet divine robe, even if he returned to the modern era and encountered a magnitude 9 earthquake on the rooftop of a 50-story office building, he would not necessarily lose his life, let alone here... But this earthquake was really big.

"go!"

Ji Zhao was about to fly out of the room and find a more open place, but he saw that the shopkeeper who had just been introducing antiques to him was now frantically trying to rescue his antiques. However, the ground was shaking so violently that he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Not only did the things in his hand fall out of his hand and break into pieces on the ground.

"I can't leave... I can't leave!" The shopkeeper fell to the ground, his palms were cut by the broken pieces of porcelain and bleeding, but he was still unwilling to leave. His expression was not tearful and heartbroken, but more of a primitive reaction in confusion, "Things... my things!"

Boom!

During the violent shaking, the multi-treasure stand fell down and was about to hit the shopkeeper. Ji Zhao immediately used his internal energy to pull the man out. Then, regardless of his screams, he used his Qing Kung Fu to jump onto the street.

The shopkeeper walked between life and death and came to the ground. He finally came to his senses a little after hearing the noisy sounds around him. He stopped shouting and hurriedly thanked Ji Zhao. After taking a nostalgic look at his shop, he ran towards the open area around him.

Ji Zhao stood there in a daze... dazed. The word dazed seemed a bit strange to describe Ji Zhao. After coming to this world, his purpose had always been clear and this kind of emotion rarely appeared in him. However, at this moment, he was indeed a bit dazed. Under the sudden impact of the great power of heaven and earth, listening to the noisy sounds around him, Ji Zhao didn't know what to do for a moment.

“Don’t go in…!”

At this moment, a young man suddenly rushed into the dilapidated house in front. Ji Zhao subconsciously grabbed him, but was thrown away by the man. A voice with a bit of heat and a bit of fear sounded, and was sent out with trembling teeth.

"Don't stop me from getting rich!"

After saying this, he rushed in without hesitation.

Boom!

The sound of collapsing houses was heard...but it was not this antique shop, but an inn next to it. I don't know if it was due to disrepair or simply shoddy construction, but at the beginning of the earthquake, the inn collapsed. Many people in the inn did not have time to escape. As the house collapsed, many screams of terror were heard.

Ji Zhao took a quick glance and saw an old arm hanging outside the ruins made of tiles and wooden boards. It was obvious that someone was trapped underneath.

Ji Zhao stepped forward immediately, and with a surge of internal energy, he lifted up the things that were pressing down the man. Underneath was an old man with a bloody head and bandages wrapped all over his body. Ji Zhao glanced over hurriedly and saw many silver needles on his waist, abdomen and chest. Due to the earthquake, these silver needles all pierced into his acupuncture points, and blood flowed out, staining the bandages on his body red.

"Are you okay?"

Ji Zhao grabbed the old man's hand and tried to pull him out.

"…fine, no, I'm fine."

The old man held Ji Zhao's hand tightly. He slowly raised his head. The blood on his head flowed down bit by bit, flowing along the corners of his eyes, through the wings of his nose, and finally through his lips, revealing his blood-soaked gums... No matter how you look at it, this is not a look that can be called 'good'.

However, the old man was indeed smiling.

He held Ji Zhao's hand, his eyes filled with tears, a genuine smile on his face, and an expression of indescribable piety, like a pure nun in a Western fantasy novel who was willing to die for her friends and faith... The two were far apart, but at this moment, Ji Zhao saw such piety in the old man's eyes.

【“…”】

An indescribable feeling of disgust and chill came over Ji Zhao. How could he describe it? It was like waking up in the morning and grabbing the snacks that were placed by the bed last night and stuffing them into his mouth. But when he took a bite, he bit into a hard shell. Then his tongue felt the twitching tentacles and the barbed feet. He realized something was wrong and wanted to stop eating, but it was too late. A crisp sound rang out and juice splashed in his mouth...

It is this kind of cold that makes people feel cold all over and unable to move.

"...Thank you." The old man's voice trembled slightly, and there was even a hint of tears in his voice, "Once again...come to me."

At this moment, because of the surge of the old man's internal energy, Ji Zhao finally "saw" it.

【Role:???】

【Comprehension: 21+63】

[Root bone: 6+18]

【Martial Arts Literacy: 16214】

【Public Features...】

Ji Zhao did not read the remaining attributes any further.

The comprehension doesn't match, it's too high; the physique doesn't match, it's too low; the martial arts attainments don't match, it's too high... At first glance, it seems that they are not the same person, but in fact, these attributes are fluctuating within a reasonable range. Ji Zhao is absolutely sure that this person is...

boom!

Ji Zhao burst out his internal energy, pulled out his arm, and suddenly leaped more than twenty meters away.

The old man stood up slowly, no trace of piety on his face. He stared at Ji Zhao, his pupils were scarlet and filled with bloodshot.
