Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 125 Difficulties

Wang Lan, the person involved, was not as excited as the two deputy leaders, because he knew in his heart that this crucial step could not be taken casually.

He has been stuck at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm for several years, unable to break through, because of a "dark cloud".

A dark cloud hung over the heads of all the grand martial arts masters in Jiangzhou; it was a legend—

Some say that the martial arts fortune of Jiangzhou has run out, and no more grandmasters will be born there.

The person who made such a statement was the previous leader of the Taoist sect, the martial arts champion of Daliang, and a powerful figure in the region. No one questioned his words.

The facts seem to be just as he said.

Jiangzhou has not produced a Grandmaster for sixty years. The leader of the Canal Gang entered the Grandmaster realm sixty years ago and is now over a hundred years old.

Even though the Canal Gang had a grandmaster to guide them and controlled a large amount of cultivation resources, they still failed to produce a second grandmaster. This is why the Canal Gang was wary of other forces in Jiangzhou producing grandmasters.

The emergence of even one grandmaster could shake the dominance of the Canal Gang in Jiangzhou.

Wang Lan picked up the letter from the table and read it, his expression calm and unreadable.

He Chuan assumed Wang Lan was thinking about Lu Kui, so he said, "I'll go with you. I was the one who arranged for Lu Kui to go to Feiyu Ferry, so I'm also responsible for what happened this time."

Qi Hai nodded in agreement.

However, Wang Lan said firmly, "My mind is made up. The two of you will stay at headquarters and wait for orders. There may be a big disturbance in Yongning Bay soon, and one person at the Enlightenment Realm may not be able to control it."

The two said no more.

After returning to Feiyu Ferry, Ge Shan went to handle Shi Zheng's funeral arrangements, while Chen Feng did not return to the hall but went back to his own courtyard.

After Ge Shan and the others left, almost everyone with influence in the hall now belonged to Lu Kui's subordinates.

Chen Feng was too lazy to deal with them.

"I'll go back when headquarters sends someone. I'll just stay home and relax for the next few days," he thought to himself.

Clang.

Chen Feng threw the iron sword at his waist into the corner and leaned wearily against the wooden chair.

This iron sword wasn't the one Ye Jian gave him; he bought it at the blacksmith's shop on his way back, so he wouldn't be unable to practice his swordsmanship these past few days.

.

After the battle with Xie Xuan, the sword Ye Jian gave him was almost ruined, so he sent it to the blacksmith for repair.

Also sent along were the boots that had been salvaged, the black iron inside of which could be used. Chen Feng even paid extra money to have the blacksmith use better materials.

It's called repair, but it's actually a complete overhaul.

"system."

[Experience]: 45332

[Flow]: 1/5

After Chen Feng killed Xie Xuan, "flow" was fixed by the system, accompanied by both good news and bad news.

The good news is that you can add points using experience; the bad news is that the ratio is 10000:1.

If Chen Feng wants to fully master "flow," he will have to use up almost all of his current experience.

This is something he cannot accept.

"It would be better to kill a few more leaders of the Grand Canal Gang." After weighing the options, Chen Feng decided not to waste his experience on this.

He has only just entered the Enlightenment Realm, there's no rush.

On the wooden chair, Chen Feng closed his eyes slightly, reached into his pocket and took out a porcelain bottle. His other arm was still injured, and he was too lazy to move, so he gently hooked his finger.

With practiced ease, he manipulated his inner energy, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured out the Qi-opening pills inside.

This pill is milky white and has a faint medicinal fragrance. It can soften the walls of acupoints and assist in the cleansing of true qi. It is an essential item for cultivation in the Opening Acupoint Realm.

Put a pill in your mouth and swallow it.

Its terrifying digestive ability kicked in instantly, and the pill was completely absorbed in just fifteen minutes.

It transforms into a wisp of pure energy, circulating throughout the body with the true qi, stimulating the acupoints all over.

"Just one pill is equivalent to half a month's worth of my work as the hall master. Don't let me down." Chen Feng circulated the Canglang Technique, using the medicinal power to cleanse his acupoints.

After about half an incense stick's time, the energy was completely exhausted.

However, there was no change in any of the acupoints or meridians throughout the body, as if the medicinal effects had simply circulated within the body and come away empty-handed.

""

Chen Feng had a toothache, and he seemed to have already seen the massive amount of resources needed in the future.

He comforted himself, telling himself that cultivation is a gradual process, and the elixir of enlightenment is merely an aid, not a shortcut; he had to be able to endure loneliness.

"I don't believe it. I'll practice it all night. Even if I don't have the Opening Qi Pill, I still have the Canglang Technique." Chen Feng got up from the wooden chair, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate.

Nothing was said that night, and I was completely clueless.

Several days later, at dawn.

As dawn broke, morning mist shrouded the river, its waters shimmering with a cool light as they lapped against the stone embankment.

Wooden boats of all sizes were moored on the shore, their sails half-lowered, and the boatmen were bending over to haul in the mooring lines and tidy up the oars.

The docks along the shore were bustling with activity, as porters carrying loads of goods moved back and forth, their footsteps, shouts, and the clatter of goods hitting the ground creating a constant din.

A river breeze, carrying moisture and a fishy smell, brushed past my face.

You seem to have gained some insight.

[A deeper understanding of the "Canglang Technique"]

[Experience +24]

[Canglang Technique]: Perfect (229/?)

These past few days, Chen Feng has been going to the riverbank to enjoy the scenery and improve his proficiency with the Canglang Technique.

At this moment, there was another person behind Chen Feng, Ge Shan. After a few days of rest, his injuries had recovered to about 70-80%.

After burying Shi Feng and personally paying to appease Shi Feng's family, he was stripped of his position as deputy head of the main branch by Lu Kui and is now considered an ordinary member of the gang.

Chen Feng was helpless in this regard. The Hall Master of the Battle Hall had the power to decide on the transfer of positions below the level of the Grand Hall Master, unless a person of the gang leader level raised an objection.

With nothing to do, Ge Shan spent his days following Chen Feng around, obeying Chen Feng's orders.

Although Chen Feng made no arrangements for him.

"Boss, why do you look more haggard than me?" Ge Shan asked.

Chen Feng remained expressionless in response to Ge Shan's question.

In reality, he thought to himself: How could I possibly tell you that it's because I've been cultivating diligently for several days and nights without any improvement in my cultivation level, and I'm so angry that I can't sleep?

The river breeze ruffled Chen Feng's hair, bringing coolness and sweeping away the gloom of the night.

As for where the boredom comes from, don't worry about it.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me boss." Chen Feng said helplessly.

Ge Shan addressed Chen Feng as "General Manager Chen" because there were many branch masters at Feiyu Ferry, and he felt it was somewhat distant to call Chen Feng "Branch Master Chen".

"Yes," Ge Shan replied.

"Boss, a lot of the gang leaders have arrived. What should we do now? Should we take down Lu Kui?" Ge Shan asked again.

This time, Chen Feng didn't bother to correct him and simply waved his hand, saying, "Wait a little longer."

Many people in the hall now harbor resentment towards Lu Kui, and he intends to let things escalate further.

When the time is right, release the news that you killed Xie Xuan to quickly increase your prestige within the gang, and then take the opportunity to kick Lu Kui out of the game.

As for when the right time is...

At this moment, Chen Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

A cargo boat painted entirely in a deep dark blue color slowly approached the Feiyudu Wharf, carried by the slightly rising river water.

The flag of the Canglang Gang, with its black background and gold lettering, hangs high at the bow of the ship. When the wind blows, the flag flutters, and the wave patterns on the flag resemble the surging of the river.

Chen Feng saw the black-haired, blue-eyed man under the flag and immediately realized that the time had come.
