Myriad Immortals

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Twenty zhang!

Zhong Xuan floated on the lake, his feet rising and falling on the water, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the second half of the journey.

Floating on water!

This isn't some martial arts master imitating underwater stake-setting; it's a true example of superior lightness skill.

His strength was rapidly depleted.

With his old strength exhausted, Zhong Xuan took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen rising and falling. It was no longer the one-inhale-six-exhale technique of the Eagle Seven Breathing Method, but became longer and more melodious.

The second breathing method!

New strength is rising again.

The reason why Crane's Leap Over the Void surpasses other light-body skills is not only because of its leg training ability, but also because of its breathing technique.

After a long period of practice, I finally grasped a bit of the essence.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Xuan had already arrived on the other side.

"call......"

Zhong Xuan let out a long breath, his eyes showing joy.

"It's done!"

In a single breath, he traversed thirty feet of waves.

This is precisely the sign that the Crane Form Tai Xu has entered the gate.

"As expected of the superior lightness skill given by Mr. Cui, this skill alone is enough to earn him the title of a master thief in the martial arts world."

Zhong Xuan inwardly praised him.

At the same time, I remembered what Mr. Cui had said before.

At that time, Cui Bai told him that if he mastered the Crane Flight technique, he could go to Yongning Prefecture to find him, and Cui Bai would then give Zhong Xuan a great fortune.

Zhong Xuan has now entered the path of mastery.

With more effort and continuous improvement in one's physical constitution, there is a high chance of mastering the Crane's Flight technique.

Even a single skill of lightness and agility is already so domineering.

Zhong Xuan couldn't help but wonder just how incredible that fortune must be.

......

......

Fire in July.

The rice in Xiahe Village has already turned yellow, and it's time to harvest the wheat.

This means that the autumn imperial examinations are just around the corner.

"Brother Zhong, are you sure you don't need to send it?"

Xu Mao, Xu Tian, ​​and many villagers from Xiahe Village stood at the village entrance to see Zhong Xuan off.

Only scholars were qualified to participate in the autumn imperial examination, so Zhong Xuan was the only one from the entire Xiahe Village, and he was surrounded by several layers of people.

of course.

This was also because of the school, which gave Zhong Xuan an excellent reputation in the village. However, Xu Mao must have played a role in gathering so many people.

If not enough people come to see him off, then he is incompetent as the neighborhood chief.

"Yunzhou is only a thousand miles away, which is not far."

Zhong Xuan smiled nonchalantly.

Compared to those who had to prepare a year in advance and travel to the capital for the imperial examinations, going to Yunzhou was relatively easy.

Not bad.

The imperial court attached great importance to the provincial examinations and, to prevent too many people from cheating, set up the examination venue in Yunzhou.

The prefect will personally supervise the examination as the chief examiner.

That was a real high-ranking local official.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I am not going alone. Master Zhang from the city is also going to Yunzhou, so I will go with him on the way."

Zhong Xuan said.

Xu Mao had anticipated this.

These days, Zhang Lie, the patriarch of the Zhang family, has been frequently visiting the Riverside Academy, and it's clear that the two have an excellent relationship.

Zhang Linchun, the second son of the Zhang family, will also participate in the provincial examination this time.

Zhang Lie naturally wanted to observe the examination, so it was only natural for the two of them to go to Yunzhou together.

Zhong Xuan waved to the villagers who came to see him off, then carried his luggage and headed towards Baisha City.

Not long after.

He saw a carriage by the official road outside the city, and riding a magnificent chestnut horse was none other than Zhang Lie, the head of the Zhang family.

"Brother Zhong."

When Zhang Lie saw Zhong Xuan appear, he started waving and greeting him from a distance.

Enter.

Zhong Xuan noticed that Zhang Lie only brought four or five guards and no relatives, a stark contrast to the grand entrance he had taken to Yongning Prefecture.

The exciting chapter "Chapter 85 Taking the Imperial Examination (Second Update)" is now available online. Click to read it now!

That would be quite reasonable.

Yunzhou is far superior to Yongning Prefecture.

Zhang Lie was able to make connections in Yongning Prefecture, so he felt confident even though he was taking his whole family with him.

Ke Yunzhou is not only far away, but also has many experts.

Even Zhang Lie couldn't guarantee his safety, so bringing his family along would be extremely risky.

In fact.

Even though the Qing Kingdom is a scene of peace and prosperity, the risks of traveling are still considerable.

It is not uncommon for students to die mysteriously on their way to take the exams every year.

"Let's go, Brother Zhang."

As soon as Zhong Xuan finished speaking, one of the Zhang family guards took the bundle from him.

He copied books at the Zhang residence for decades.

He was extremely familiar with the people in the Zhang family.

At first glance, it was clear that Zhang Lie had brought two bone-training martial artists with him, and Pei Yong, who was acquainted with him, was also among them.

There are also differences among the martial arts masters who protect the house.

People like Pei Yong are still not beyond the category of being paid to do things. Only martial arts masters who have mastered bone-strengthening skills and can protect a household deserve to be called half a master.

Even Zhang Lie's sons recognized the Bone-Refining Martial Arts Master as their godfather.

This clearly demonstrates its importance.

"Walk!"

Zhang Lie grinned, looking extremely pleased with himself.

Although he was extremely cautious in his trip to Yunzhou, he was actually not too worried.

There are bandits on the road.

But what kind of foolish bandit would dare to rob a group of bone-training martial artists like myself?

Mountain bandits are after money, not people who are truly willing to fight to the death.

Zhang Lie jumped off his horse.

He then got into the carriage with Zhong Xuan.

The carriage was extremely spacious, comfortably seating three to five people. Moreover, the interior of the carriage was reinforced with a protective wall made of iron.

"Brother Zhang is truly thorough in his work."

Zhong Xuan gazed at the metallic gleam emanating from the cracks in the wooden planks and exclaimed in admiration.

Zhang Lie chuckled: "When you're out and about, it's always good to be extra careful."

Great minds think alike.

Zhong Xuan and Zhang Lie exchanged a smile.

Actually.

Zhong Xuan also hid some concealed weapons in his bundle, thinking he would take extra precautions on the road.

The sound of creaking stones being crushed could be heard outside the carriage.

The carriage slowly headed towards Yunzhou.

......

......

Seven days later.

Zhong Xuan and his party then left Yongning Prefecture.

Traveling north along a magnificent river, the scenery is exceptionally pleasant.

"This is Qinghe..."

Zhong Xuan lifted the sedan curtain and stared blankly at the calm and wide river in the distance.

That was when the Qinghe River breached its banks.

The flood affected more than a thousand miles of land, turning hundreds of thousands of people into refugees. Zhong Xuan was one of these refugees when he was still young and fled the famine with the people of Xiaohe Village.

I almost lost my life.

It was around that time that he caught a glimpse of the Qinghe River from afar, which resembled the roar of a yellow dragon, a stark contrast to its current tranquil state.

After that.

Zhong Xuan never saw what Qinghe looked like again.

After all, he was just a student who had not even qualified to participate in the provincial examination, so he couldn't find any reason to risk leaving Yongning Prefecture.

Zhang Lie, on the other side of the carriage, was in a very good mood.

"Brother Zhong, in another four or five days, we will arrive at Yunzhou."

"Brother, you know many fun places in Yunzhou. After the provincial examination, you must take me to explore them properly."

Just as Zhang Lie was speaking.

Suddenly, a splashing sound came from the Qinghe River.

Take a closer look.

Then I saw a young man walking on the wide river.

"What amazing kung fu!"
