Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 88 Immortal and Martial Arts Cultivation, Fake Pills, and Weapon Forging Techniques
Zhang Yuan sat upright and nodded slightly.

The place where the bounty was exchanged was indeed Toyota County.

A spy from the Zhenbei Army was found in the black market of Jiulin County, and they asked him to take Heihu's head to Fengtian County.

The Zhenbei Army's infiltration into the Daqin border is deeper than imagined.

In the carriage, Zhao Yu quietly raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuan in front of him.

How Mr. Zhao Liu died on the top of Jiulin Mountain is a mystery.

Those who survived kept silent.

Zhang Yuan only said that he was surrounded and killed.

Zhao Yu asked Aunt Wu, who was in the late Xiantian realm.

Aunt Wu said that with Xu Sanjin and Song Quan's strength, they could not defeat Zhao Changchun.

Zhao Yu and Aunt Wu analyzed that those black-armored guards had been planning this before the alliance meeting.

After arriving in Jiulin, Zhang Yuan obtained all the evidence of the Zhao family's crimes.

Destroying the Zhao family, killing Zhao Changchun, renewing the alliance, everything went according to plan.

"The Luyang Prefecture's guards had the guts to massacre the Zhao family in front of three thousand martial artists."

"When they gathered, they were waiting for the signal to kill Zhao Changchun on the top of the mountain."

"Team leaders Chen Wu and Huang Sanliang are convinced that Zhang Yuan can kill Zhao Changchun."

"I don't know why Zhang Yuan gave them such confidence."

"However, a general who can keep his subordinates in the face of life and death without a second thought is already a very qualified general. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan was born in Luyang Prefecture and is only a captain in the Wuwei Yamen..."

When Aunt Wu said these words, her expression changed, sometimes with emotion, sometimes with confusion, and sometimes with regret.

Zhao Yu understood that if Zhang Yuan was in the heartland of the Qin Dynasty and was the son of a military family, then Zhang Yuan would have a bright future.

Unfortunately, as Aunt Wu said, even if Zhang Yuan is extremely talented in training troops and planning, his future is limited without a solid foundation.

Even if I recommend Zhang Yuan to my father, it is impossible for him to use Zhang Yuan more.

In terms of foundation and connections, Zhang Yuan is far behind those elites from big families.

In the carriage, Zhang Yuan didn't care what Zhao Yu was thinking about. He just sat upright, and light and shadows flashed on the faint light curtain in his mind.

A volume of cultivation techniques was found in the Zhao family's secret room.

It is not a method of practicing martial arts, but a method of practicing immortality.

The Secret of Forging Weapons

It is not the legendary method of immortality of the immortals, but it is to use the power of qi and blood to gather the spiritual energy of the immortals, condense the body, and gather strength.

This strength is not practiced to fight against enemies, but to forge weapons and equipment.

Use matching hammering techniques to create various weapons and armor.

According to Zhang Yuan's little understanding of the immortal way inheritance, this "Weapon Forging Art" should be the immortal way of refining weapons.

Tempering the body is a by-product.

Zhang Yuan interrogated the elders of the Zhao family and learned that when Zhao Changchun was young, he traveled outside and met a senior.

Later, this senior died, Zhao Changchun's cultivation improved greatly, and he returned to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family rose to prominence.

Zhang Yuan used the comprehension beads to deduce and has already mastered the weapon forging technique.

He had been tempering his muscles and bones with the forging hammer technique over the past two days, and he could feel that his physical strength had become more condensed.

At his level of cultivation, his physical strength has reached its limit, but he didn't expect it to be able to improve further. It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

A good idea can be used to polish a jade. The Buddhist and immortal cultivation methods he recently acquired are helpful to his martial arts practice.

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting upright, had a calm aura, but the blood and energy were surging in his meridians.

In his dantian, golden relics were floating, and on the other side was a blue-gray pill.

It should be called a golden elixir. To be precise, it is a half-step golden elixir condensed by an immortal practitioner.

According to ancient texts, a golden elixir that has not undergone the tempering of thunder can only be called a fake elixir.

This fake pill embodies all the cultivation of an immortal practitioner and has the same effect as a relic.

Of course, the level of the fake pill is not as good as the relic, it is only equivalent to the peak of the innate realm.

This fake pill was found in the Zhao family's secret room.

After Zhao Changchun got this fake pill, he only knew how to extract the power from it for cultivation, which was really a waste of resources.

At this time, in Zhang Yuan's dantian, the innate true essence and the power of the relic imprisoned the fake pill and continuously tempered it, causing a trace of golden light to flicker on its blue-gray pill body.

By using the methods of weapon forging techniques and continuously tempering it, this fake pill may become real.

At that time, Zhang Yuan would be able to directly control all the power of a Jindan realm immortal practitioner in one step.

The Immortal Dao Golden Core Realm was on par with a martial arts master. If both immortals and martial artists cultivated together, their combat power might even be enhanced.

This trip to Jiulin was a bloody one, but the harvest was quite fruitful. In addition to the collected Qi, blood and true essence, there were also unexpected surprises such as the immortal cultivation method and fake pills.

Of course, destroying the Zhao family, pacifying the Jiulin Jianghu, and killing the "Black Tiger" with his head exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, was not only a windfall for Zhang Yuan, but also a way to sever his ties.

In the past, I honed myself and accumulated resources in the name of Black Tiger, but before I knew it, I no longer needed it.

--------------

Toyota County.

The ruins left by the war five years ago are still there.

Even though business has prospered a lot in the past two years, dilapidated houses can still be seen everywhere in the city.

In a somewhat desolate house, an old man wearing a black robe and a dark hair crown stood with his hands behind his back.

The old man had a short beard and sword-like eyebrows, and there was a gleam of light in his eyes.

In front of him, Ouyang Ming, who was wearing a brocade robe, lowered his head with a reserved look.

Even though he was the son of Ouyang Shucai, and his own cultivation level was half a step to the innate realm, he still needed to be cautious when facing the old man in front of him.

This person is the priest of the Heavenly Demon Palace of Yan State.

When the State of Yan was founded, it was supported by a powerful monster.

A great demon that has cultivated into a human form and survived the thunder tribulation has a combat power comparable to that of a master.

After the founding of the country, Emperor Murong Zhao honored the Great Demon as the national teacher and built the Heavenly Demon Palace, where the priests were similar to worshippers and had the power to supervise the court and the underworld of Yan State.

At this time, the priest of the Heavenly Demon Palace in front of Ouyang Ming was named Gu Tan, and his cultivation level was in the late Xiantian realm.

The cultivation methods of the Heavenly Demon Palace are mixed with many demonic methods. For someone like Gu Tan who is in the late Xiantian realm, his combat power cannot be judged solely by his cultivation level.

"Don't worry, the Ouyang family is a key member of Great Yan. The Qin State's divisive tactics will not harm your Ouyang family in the slightest."

"Besides, Master Ouyang is very righteous and has entrusted the Qin Princess's itinerary to me. This can be considered as making amends for the Ouyang family's mistakes."

Gu Tan whispered with a hint of a smile on his face.

Ouyang Ming quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Priest, for your understanding."

He raised his head, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, and whispered, "My eldest brother has always been smooth sailing. I believe this blow will make him repent and be loyal to His Majesty without second thoughts."

"However," Ouyang Ming took a deep breath, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face, "If big brother still refuses to repent, there's no need to hold back."

"My Ouyang family cannot be dragged into the abyss by Ouyang Xu."

Hearing Ouyang Ming's words, Gu Tan smiled softly and chuckled, "Young Master Ouyang is willing to sacrifice his relatives for the greater good. I admire you."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

A look of joy flashed across Ouyang Xu's face. He clasped his fists, bowed, and left the desolate courtyard.

Watching him leave, the smile on Gu Tan's face faded and turned grim.

"Humph, Ouyang Shu is the ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed. Even though my Murong family values ​​him so much and has given him titles of nobility and military appointments, I still can't keep him full."

A middle-aged man in a green martial arts robe walked out from the side of the corridor pillar. Although his aura was restrained, it was not much different from that of the old man in black robe.

"Master Priest, if we really kill Ouyang Xu and Ouyang Ming, and Ouyang Shucai becomes enraged, can we kill him if we join forces?"

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Tan and spoke in a low voice.

Gu Tan pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed. "If he's really stuck on the edge of the Grandmaster realm and needs the power of the relic to stabilize his mind, then we can kill him together."

"But if he has already become a Grandmaster, we have no chance."

……

In Toyota County, on a two-story building, a young warrior wearing a blue-gray martial arts robe, his hair tied up with a jade crown, and a long sword hanging from his waist stood in front of the window.

Two middle-aged men in blue martial robes walked in and bowed.

"Sir, Princess Fengming has entered the city under the escort of the Black Ice Platform and the Black Cavalry of Luyang Prefecture."

"As the Crown Prince said, the Black Cavalry will remain outside the city. The strongest person accompanying Princess Fengming is the Chief Clerk Gu Pingyao."

"Can we intercept and kill him?"

The young man standing in front of the windowsill shook his head.

"Gu Pingyao, the chief secretary of the Qin Zhao Palace, cannot kill Bai Hexing."

"Ying Fenglan must have other guards hiding."

"My Guwang Mansion doesn't need to take any action. The Zhenbei Army and Beiyan's spies will not let go of this opportunity."

"Tell him who is coming from the Xiao family and tell him that our Guwang Mansion is willing to offer the same conditions. As long as the Zhenbei Army changes its flag, it is not impossible for Princess Yunting of Guwang Mansion to marry him."
