Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

What is the purpose of these items appearing on the dowry list?

it goes without saying.

The things Li Changqing likes are things that most people would never be able to find out.

Even if he didn't deliberately hide it, these are things that ordinary people wouldn't know.

Those who will eventually learn of this news will undoubtedly be among the most powerful and influential.

The Marquis of Sanyang's Residence.

Li Changqing suddenly realized that he had underestimated these nobles of Kyoto.

Their ability to stand proudly in Kyoto for so many years is not to be underestimated.

Li Zheng secretly issued an order to have people search for the Golden Man of Heaven and the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many officials may not know this.

The people of the Marquis of Sanyang's residence not only knew about it, but also made ample preparations in advance.

This item was even added directly to the dowry list.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

There's no need to beat around the bush when speaking frankly.

Li Changqing never minded letting people know what he was looking for.

The world is so big, even the Great Zhou Dynasty is considered to have a vast territory.

If Li Changqing were to collect these materials on his own, it would take far more than a few hundred years.

Even if it's been thousands of years, or even several thousand years.

Li Changqing would never find what he actually wanted.

At the very least, he couldn't find them all.

A person's abilities are ultimately limited, and even a supreme expert cannot avoid this.

Therefore, Li Changqing needed help, and he didn't mind that someone specifically came to his door.

To put it bluntly, this is the same principle as spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

Even for an emperor, finding a fine horse is difficult.

Someone suggested he spend a fortune to buy the bones of a thoroughbred horse. The emperor himself was unwilling, as he preferred a living horse to a dead one.

But for the sake of the thoroughbred horse he so desperately wanted, the emperor did just that.

What was the final result?

Once others learned about the horse bone, their cunning immediately became apparent.

The emperor would go to such lengths for a dead thoroughbred horse?

What kind of rewards would the emperor give to the surviving thoroughbreds?

From then on, many people specially presented fine horses to the emperor. The emperor finally possessed a fine horse that truly belonged to him.

Such stories had a profound impact on Li Changqing.

He was inevitably affected, and the impact was very significant.

He wanted to go further, to make everyone his eyes and ears, which led to the creation of the World Society.

The World Society is bound to become very powerful in the future; that's a certainty.

But even the World Society cannot control everything.

Some people get something and hide it away, never taking it out again or showing it to anyone, studying it carefully by themselves.

Even if Li Changqing laid a trap across the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it wouldn't change anything.

He has to put in the same effort as someone who would spend a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

He must get those who are hiding things to hand them over voluntarily.

This is not an easy task.

But as long as he persists, Li Changqing believes he will definitely reap the rewards.

The dowry list provided by the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion was exactly what Li Changqing received.

If this towering golden man is real, Li Changqing will definitely give the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion a reward that will surely tempt them.

Job, future prospects, money, martial arts manuals...

Even other things, as long as Li Changqing already possesses them and can provide them, he will not refuse them.

"As expected, Your Highness is interested in this."

Murong Bo laughed, his eyes narrowing into slits. He looked at Li Changqing, having gained some control of the situation.

God knows how exhausting it is to talk to this Regent.

"Lord Sanyang, there's no need for that. Just say what you have to say."

"Such a treasure is naturally beyond the reach of our Marquis's residence. If it were under the jurisdiction of our household management, we would have presented it to His Majesty long ago."

No one knows who passed down the Twelve Golden Men's extraordinary martial arts skills.

But every single one of these divine skills is incredibly evil.

There are very few things that can interest Li Changqing these days.

The Heavenly Divine Skill is not only one of them, but also the most important one.

Li Changqing had never actually come into contact with them before, so naturally he didn't know the wonders of the 12 Golden Men.

Now, Li Changqing has not only obtained two of them, but he has also mastered the divine skills mentioned above.

A sliver of light and shrinking the earth to an inch.

When Li Changqing discovered these two divine skills, he doubted that he had misjudged them.

This sliver of light is alright.

Although it violates some rules, overall it is a powerful skill for using hidden weapons.

With the support of powerful skills, it can unleash a power strong enough to threaten even the Supreme Being.

But the size of the reduced area is different.

This involves the realm of space, and cannot be described by martial arts alone. Li Changqing was only surprised to discover how miraculous this divine skill was after he began practicing it.

Aside from the Immortal Seeking Record, which he is currently researching, Li Changqing believes that the most likely path to breaking through to the Supreme Realm and reaching an even higher level is the Heavenly Divine Art.

Even a single Tongtian Golden Man is terrifying!

What would happen if the twelve golden figures reaching the heavens were combined together?

Because he had such thoughts in his mind before, Li Changqing was so excited when he saw the third golden statue.

He couldn't wait to try cultivating.

"This towering golden statue was part of the dowry brought by my later wife. Now it's considered part of Er Ya's dowry..."

Murong Bo explained, and Li Changqing instantly understood what he meant.

"Murong Yan".

If the Golden Man of Heaven is related to her, Li Changqing wouldn't find it strange.

"That's right, it's Er Ya's dowry."

Upon hearing Murong Bo's words, Li Changqing couldn't help but sneer.

"Everyone says that with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and I didn't believe it at first, but I never expected..."

Seeing Li Changqing shake his head, Murong Bo felt a jolt in his heart.

Before this, Murong Bo had heard some rumors.

He even knew that not all of those rumors were just rumors.

Murong Bo still didn't expect that Li Changqing would go to such lengths for his boss.

It is said that Murong Yao has taken over the newspaper and become the editor-in-chief of the Kyoto Daily.

Could it be true?

Thinking of this, Murong Bo felt his heart skip a beat.

"Is Your Highness intending to refuse?"

"I have seen the item, and it is useful to me. Since I have already given the position of concubine to Miss Mu Ruyao, I will absolutely not give it to anyone else."

As a normal adult, Li Changqing's solutions to problems are all simple and crude.

His motto has always been: want it all, want it all, and want it all.

Now that he has seen this towering golden man, he is determined to get his hands on it.

Even if he couldn't keep it for himself, he should at least read the contents and learn the techniques.
