What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

However, he was overthinking it. Luo Qiqi reached for his waist and took out the two black tokens that she had taken from him that morning and put on his waist.

Then nothing else happened.

Su Mu kept his eyes closed and cooperated quite a bit.

There was nothing he could do; this female demon was far more powerful than him, and he was no match for her at all. If she really wanted to do something to him, there was nothing he could do.

Luo Qiqi picked it up and examined it briefly before losing interest.

Then he tossed him two more black tokens.

Su Mu opened his eyes, looked down, picked up two tokens, and looked at Luo Qiqi.

"Ha, I thought it was really you who made the commotion, but it's nothing special."

Luo Qiqi's words left him completely bewildered.

So the meaning has been misinterpreted?

So I asked:

"Miss Luo, did you do this for these two pieces of mine?"

Luo Qiqi walked to the side and sat down, crossing her legs to reveal her fair feet and calves.

"No, but where did you get this thing from?"

He didn't quite understand this to begin with, but upon hearing this, he immediately perked up:

"Do you know what it is?"

"you do not know?"

Now it was Luo Qiqi's turn to be suspicious. So she didn't know what this thing was, she just picked it up casually, and she didn't even know how to use it?

Are you kidding me!

Su Mu shook his head directly because he really didn't know what they were. One was taken from the murderer, and the other was taken from a sixth-realm martial artist.

Its function is unknown.

Luo Qiqi stared at him, trying to discern something from his micro-expressions, but what was with this innocent and harmless demeanor?

With a soft sigh, after much thought, the only explanation I could come up with was:

"The Mysterious Stone Iron Token has been used by many martial artists to perform other techniques."

"Mysterious Stone Iron Token?"

Su Mu subconsciously picked it up and looked at it. Then, after thinking about it, he noticed some details. He discovered that one of the pieces had a crack. This piece was taken from a sixth-realm martial artist and had been cleaved.

"So, this thing can be used to perform other techniques?"

"That's how it should be, but yours is just so-so."

Luo Qiqi had initially suspected that he was using this thing to play tricks, taking advantage of the fact that his strength was lower than hers so he could directly use it to examine things, but in the end, she found that this was not the case.

In other words, there might really be a master behind him, someone unfathomable and impossible to trace.

Su Mu stood up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face when he looked at Luo Qiqi.

"Miss Luo, could you teach me how to achieve this? Or just how to use it?"

"Hehe, okay, it's not impossible for me to teach you. Just call out the person behind you and I'll teach you."

sister!

What should it be called?

Can I possibly split myself into two?

However, he then thought of one of the twelve talismans, which could create two versions of himself.

Unfortunately, I don't have it.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for it."

Although I dare not hope that Luo Qiqi will teach me, as long as I know what it is, I will know how to use it.

Especially since this woman is in her own room, if she says something wrong, she might be torn to pieces.

If you lack the strength to handle a woman like that, it's best to stay away.

He grabbed his things and went out the door.

Luo Qiqi didn't expect him to be so decisive. After waiting for a while, she found that his footsteps had already faded away.

Instead, different thoughts began to pop into my head.

……

West Alley.

Night market street.

Zhao Xian sat alone, drinking in silence. The thought of Su Mu having such a beautiful girl pursuing him made his life seem much gloomier.

I'm afraid I won't have anyone to drink with after get off work every day.

Su Mu knew Zhao Xian too well; when he came here to look, he indeed found him.

He went to the side and tapped on the table.

Zhao Xian looked up and was slightly surprised:

"Brother Su, what brings you here so late at night? Aren't you spending time with your beautiful lady? Aren't you afraid of being stolen away?"

"Go! Go! Go."

Su Mu sat to the side, and, as if they were old friends, took a pot of wine from the table and filled a bowl.

I gulped down the whole bowl in one go, and with each gurgling sound, a spicy, irritating sensation lingered in my throat.

Until the bowl is finished.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Xian chuckled.

"Brother Su, you got kicked out? I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush things. You have to take it one step at a time."

He guessed that a young man like Su Mu, who hadn't really experienced much in the dating scene, would probably be a bit impatient when pursued by a pretty girl.

The outcome was predictable.

He wanted to take advantage of her.

But she's not a naive and innocent girl.

Seeing Zhao Xian smirking, Su Mu helplessly placed the things in her hand on the table for him to see:

"Old Zhao, you're very knowledgeable, do you know what this is?"

Zhao Xian glanced at them, also suspicious. He picked up the two pieces, examined them, and then put them back with a smile.

"Brother Su, where did you get all these strange and unusual things?"

"On that sixth-realm martial artist."

"That's understandable."

Zhao Xian nodded, understanding why Su Mu had come to be, and then explained:

"This is called the Mysterious Stone Iron Token, a common unorthodox method used in the martial arts world. It used to be frequently seen on the black market, but now that the black market is gone, there's nothing we can do about it."

Having confirmed that Zhao Xian knew him, Su Mu was naturally curious:

"What is the use of this?"

"Most ordinary martial artists are skilled in fist and foot techniques. If they join a sect and learn its techniques, they just gain some means of self-defense."

Zhao Xian's mouth felt a little dry as he spoke, so he took a couple of sips of wine to clear his throat and continued answering:

"This means that most of the methods used by people in the martial arts world can be identified from their origin, thus determining their identity and which sect they belong to, but this thing is different."

"no the same?"

"It's quite an unconventional method. It's usually only found in the capital, among powerful officials and big shots. Knowing how to activate it can create a special kind of power."

Zhao Xian squinted at him:

"You could say that this thing is actually under the control of the imperial court. After all, the workmanship is quite complicated. If someone learns the unorthodox methods, then the situation is different."

"Wouldn't that mean...?"

These things weren't taken from anyone in the imperial court, which means the information has been leaked?

"There are plenty of talented people in this world. Some people can see things at a glance. If they don't join the imperial court, they will become these unorthodox practitioners. However, this thing is indeed a powerful killing move, but it is not very useful against martial artists above the seventh level."

Su Mu understood a little, but forgot to ask how to use it. He slammed his hand on the table and said:

"Old Zhao, that's not fair of you. You've said so much, but you won't tell me how to use it."

"Ahem!"

Zhao Xian had no choice but to say helplessly:

"This thing isn't activated solely by internal energy. There's a special method in the martial arts world called the 'Profound Energy Activation Technique.' However, it has significant drawbacks. If the prefect has it, you can ask him, or you can find it in the capital."

Su Mu was confused.

"In short, the proper way to activate this thing is in the capital, possibly among high-ranking officials or even the emperor. If you have a way to get your hands on it, then you'll have mastered a method that's completely harmless to yourself. You could say the thing itself might be the same, but the method you master is different, and that makes a big difference."

Zhao Xian sighed again:

"Of course, external things are still external things; inner strength is the only true principle. You probably don't have a strong enough foundation yet; you need to hone your skills more."

Su Mu had a bitter expression on his face.

What are you talking about?

Isn't this just the difference between genuine and pirated products?

However, cultivation techniques are something else.

It's definitely more reliable to buy the genuine product.

Then, with a look of utter despair, she looked at him:

"We originally planned to live a peaceful life as servants, but who would have thought it would turn out like this? I think it will be difficult for me to cultivate now."

"Haha, it's nothing. If you encounter a powerful master in Qingzhou, you might try to become their disciple, but don't just blindly follow anyone. Wait until you go to the capital and meet a good one who has connections with the imperial court before you become their disciple. However, there are all sorts of martial arts in the world, some strong and some weak."

At this point, Zhao Xian paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

"Old Zhao, you know a lot! Could you be a spy from somewhere?"

"Bullshit! If I were really a spy, things wouldn't be like this."

Zhao Xian retorted directly!

However, the situation eased slightly after a short while:

"You're past the prime age for martial arts training, and even if you were to find someone, they might not accept you. But since you've caught the eye of the imperial court, you might as well be a good corrupt official."

"this……"

Su Mu was speechless for a moment.
