The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 78: Waiting for the opportunity (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
"What a pity! With your talent, if you had been exposed to the Body Tempering Technique earlier, your current achievements would definitely not be lower than mine."

Luo An Ning was silent for a moment and then spoke.

She started practicing swordplay at the age of five, and had been bathing her body with elixirs since she was young. When her body could bear it at the age of twelve, she began to temper her skin. Now, she has only reached the fourth level of body tempering, and in terms of martial arts, she has only practiced one sword technique to perfection.

Although she was about to perfect another sword technique, she was still surpassed by Su Mu.

Su Mu's background was far inferior to hers, but he had already mastered two kinds of power.

With such talent for comprehension, no one in Wuling City could match him.

Unfortunately, he started to temper his body too late. If he could not reach the fourth level of body tempering before the age of 20, he would be eliminated by the Taiping Division, and would be late at every step from then on.

However, with Su Mu's talent and the resources of the Luo family, there is still hope that he can have a blood transfusion before he turns thirty and be reborn before he turns fifty.

That way, it would be enough to protect the Luo family for decades.

"I've taken him seriously enough, but now it seems not enough."

Luo An Ning thought to himself, "Should I pick a girl of the right age to marry him?"

"Miss Luo, do you know where Peng Li is?"

Su Mu asked, "When do we start?"

Not to mention that Peng Li was on the wanted list, the mere fact that he had mastered the Wind-Breaking Sword Technique was enough to bring about his own death.

We must kill him before the He family does.

"Next time you return to the Taiping Division, if you run into Lord Lin Qihuan, you'd better tell him that you have mastered the double sword power."

Luo Anning did not answer Su Mu's words, but spoke seriously.

He reached the highest level of hardening the skin and flesh, and also learned two kinds of sword moves by himself.

Luo Anning knew very well how amazing this talent was.

It is even possible that the Taiping Division will make an exception and allow Su Mu to become a regular employee.

If it was for his own reasons, Luo An Ning could actually not tell Su Mu this.

But she couldn't deliberately lie.

"Lord Lin may be able to secure some special support for you."

Luo Anning said.

"I see."

Su Mu nodded and said, "Miss Luo, you haven't answered me yet."

Lin Qihuan appears and disappears mysteriously, and it's hard to say when we'll see him again.

Speaking of which, this boss is quite irresponsible and has let things slide too much.

"Don't call me Miss Luo anymore. Just call me by my name."

Luo Anning calmed himself down and said.

Strength and talent are also a kind of status. Su Mu already has the capital to get along with her on an equal footing.

"I don't know where Peng Li is now, but I know there's a place he must be going."

Luo An Ning returned to her serious look, like a goddess who was doing math problems seriously, as quiet as a chrysanthemum.

"Where? Let's go now."

Su Mu picked up the knife and was about to walk out.

Luo Anning blinked his big eyes.

Since she was a child, people have always said that she is serious about her work. Now it seems that she is still a little worse than Su Mu.

I have long known that Su Mu was diligent as a captain of police and never slacked off for a moment. I didn't expect that he was also the same in cultivation. If he wanted to practice, he would not delay for a moment.

"it is good."

Luo Anning said.

Su Mu has already mastered the double sword moves, Luo An Ning, you have to work hard.

She mentally waved her little fists.

…………

"Peng Li will come here?"

Su Mu stood on a cliff, looking at the deep valley below, and said in a deep voice.

This is the edge of the 800-li Daxing Mountains.

The Daxing Mountains stretch for eight hundred miles and are filled with demons and dangers.

Although this is a marginal area, it is not an absolutely safe place. Occasionally, demons will come out of the mountains. The Taiping Division is stationed in Wuling City, and a large part of its mission is to prevent the demons in Daxing Mountain from running out and causing harm to Wuling City.

When Su Mu was a woodcutter, he would occasionally go closer to the Daxing Mountains in order to chop more firewood, but even when he went the farthest, he was still more than ten miles away from here.

This was the deepest he had ever gone into the mountains.

If Su Mu didn't know Luo An Ning's identity, he would even suspect that Luo An Ning had deliberately lured him here.

"There might be demons appearing here, what is Peng Li doing here?"

Su Mu asked doubtfully.

A body-tempered warrior is very powerful for ordinary people, but for monsters, he is just a more chewy food.

"This is the outermost part of the Daxing Mountains. Generally, there won't be any demons here. Even if there are, they won't be very strong."

Luo Anning explained, “There is a Yinling grass that is about to mature under this cliff.

Not long ago, Peng Li acquired a Yinsha bone tempering method in Zi Shi City.

To practice the Yin Sha Bone Tempering Method, Yin Ling Grass is a must.

So I concluded that he came to Wuling City just for this Yinling grass."

"If he really came here for the Yin Ling Grass, why is he so reluctant to take it away?"

Su Mu said.

“The Yin Ling grass has special properties. If it is picked before it matures, its Yin Qi will immediately dissipate and it will wither, completely losing its medicinal properties.

So to pick it, you have to wait until it is ripe.”

Luo An Ning explained, "Peng Li should be waiting for the Yin Ling grass to mature.

After I accidentally discovered the Yinling Grass, I found signs of human activities nearby.

The Yinling grass will mature in the next few days. As long as we stay here, we will definitely be able to wait for Peng Li."

Su Mu leaned half of his body out of the cliff.

There was a thin white mist in the air, and a plant as black as ink could be vaguely seen. That should be the Yinling grass that Luo Anning mentioned.

"This Yinling grass should be worth a lot, right?"

Su Mu pondered and said, "Since Peng Li knows about its existence, there is no guarantee that other people will know about it.

What if when it matures, it's not just Peng Li who comes? "

"Just deal with Peng Li, and leave the others to me."

Luo Anning patted his chest and said.

Su Mu's gaze followed Luo An Ning's hand to her chest.

Yeah, reliable.

Since they had decided to sit back and wait, Su Mu and Luo An Ning each found a hiding place in case Peng Li did not dare to show up after seeing them.

Hiding in a big tree with dense branches and leaves, Su Mu took out a secret book from his arms.

"The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method".

He flipped through the pages carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious.

When Luo An Ning said that the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method was very difficult to practice, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

What he thought was that as long as he could get started with the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method, he could use the system panel to quickly push it to the perfect state.

But the system panel cannot create something out of nothing. No matter whether it is a technique or martial arts, he must practice it completely once, or even several times, before the corresponding content will appear on the system panel.

Simply put, he must first learn how to practice.

This Tianlong Eight Sounds tendon-tempering method is different from the skin-tempering and flesh-tempering methods he had practiced before.

To practice the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method, one must first apply the special elixir all over the body, and then use the music to resonate with the tendons in the body, so that the tendons can absorb the power of the medicine and achieve the tempering effect.

According to the secret book, it is best to use a string instrument, either guqin or pipa.

The problem is, Su Mu doesn’t know how to do it.

Do you need to learn a musical instrument before you can practice martial arts? On the importance of extracurricular interests?
Just as Su Mu was complaining in his heart, a faint voice suddenly came from his ears.

"somebody is coming."

It was Luo Anning's voice.
