Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the first person to eat the tomato, this senior disciple upgraded his "Construct" to level two on the twentieth day after receiving the "Unrivaled Warrior" set implantation.

Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be this fast.

However, the senior disciple was, after all, a mid-stage True Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, possessing true qi, and he spared no expense in nourishing it day and night.

It's only natural that the Level 1 set "Unrivaled Valor" was upgraded to Level 2 much earlier than expected.

Once you reach level two, the "Unrivaled Warrior" set provides a more significant boost to veteran disciples.

Whether it's to assist in cultivation or to aid in combat.

The auxiliary methods for cultivation serve two purposes: first, to increase the rate of condensing true qi; and second, to purify the quality of true qi within the body.

To aid in combat, the "Unrivaled Warrior" set will be activated, significantly boosting your strength, speed, agility, and stamina.

There are even three explosive killing moves.

Li Shuwen personally intervened several times, controlling his own cultivation level, to train his senior disciples.

It serves both as an instruction to senior disciples and as a test of their "constructs".

The results were excellent, and Li Shuwen was very satisfied.

However, just as Li Shuwen was planning to first promote "constructs" within the Eighth Rank Martial Arts School, and then start with the Mingxin Sword Sect and the Hunyuan Sect from which he came, he began to promote them to the outside world on a small scale.

The world is in turmoil!

The crown prince plotted a rebellion and launched an attack on the palace.

After breaching the Fengtian Gate of the Imperial City, the troops split into two groups: one headed straight for the palace, while the other marched towards the place where the Director of the Imperial Observatory was refining elixirs.

Clearly, the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors' pursuit of immortality through alchemy and their desire to rule for hundreds of years drove the crown prince mad.

Even if the longevity elixir is perfected and the crown prince gets one, which could extend his life by several hundred years, so what?

Is there any crown prince in the world who has reigned for hundreds of years?

You had to kneel to speak normally, you had to kneel when the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors were in a bad mood, you had to kneel when you made a mistake, and you had to kneel even when you did nothing wrong.

You have to kneel down for everything.

Even kneeling for decades would be unbearable for the crown prince.

Do we have to kneel for hundreds more years?

forget it.

That's the opposite.

Either kill the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors and ascend the throne yourself; or be killed by them and have no worries.

A bloody battle ensued, and the crown prince suffered a crushing defeat.

It is said that the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors originally intended to order their Imperial Guards to capture the Crown Prince alive and question him face to face.

As a result, seeing that defeat was inevitable, the crown prince personally drew his sword and stared at Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong for a moment before committing suicide by cutting his own throat.

The prince's roar before his death had spread throughout the entire Dayong Dynasty.

"Longevity and immortality? Hahaha... You're truly all alone now! Look around you, who can you trust? Who do you dare to trust?"

Along with this statement, a cleansing of blood and fire swept across the entire world.

During the 48 years that the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors reigned and the 36 years that the Crown Prince was established, the power of Dayong had actually been roughly divided into five parts.

Two of the shares went to the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors, one to the Crown Prince, one to a prominent family, and one to the common people.

The crown prince was executed for treason. Those with connections immediately switched sides, while those without were naturally purged.

The Imperial Guards, acting on imperial orders, began a purge of the Crown Prince's remaining followers, starting in the capital and resulting in a massive killing spree.

Fuli County is not an isolated paradise, so it will naturally be affected.

Moreover, Li Shuwen had to personally step forward to vouch for the Hunyuan Sect from which he came.

The Hunyuan Sect is located south of the Huai River, situated in a region that divides the north and south.

As the most prestigious martial arts sect in the entire Southern Jianghu, the Crown Prince would naturally have some involvement with the Eastern Palace forces during his reign.

The sorrow and the blessing of the blessings, the blessings of the blessings.

They have to give back double the benefits they received from the Eastern Palace's forces in previous years.

Even so, it's not certain that we'll weather the crisis safely.

Left with no other choice, they had to recall Li Shuwen, who had been living in seclusion, hoping to borrow his reputation as the number one figure in the southern martial arts world.

"Master, if it is not possible, it is best to protect yourself."

As he saw Li Shuwen off, Link gave him a few words of advice.

"Don't worry, Master has been traveling the world for so many years, and he relies on his keen eyesight."

Li Shuwen laughed heartily, completely unconcerned.

Link felt like complaining.

You rely on your unparalleled fists to navigate the martial world. Whether other adventurers can survive after encountering you depends on their keen observation skills.

That blind fool would have been killed by you long ago.

The grass on the grave is already three feet tall.

Lin Ke watched Li Shuwen go to say goodbye to his teacher's wife and the others, remaining hidden in the shadows and not showing himself.

The verification progress of the "Construct" warriors is encouraging.

Link doesn't want to create any further complications or new entanglements with the development of the Bajiquan martial arts school, as the causal link between them is about to be severed.

For example, the teacher's wife has recently started trying to matchmake Link and Li Sisi again.

After the last sudden change, Li Sisi also changed her mind and was no longer so resistant to her teacher's wife's wishes.

This change is absolutely astounding.

Link was simply not immersing himself in the experience because of the emotional inertia he had developed over the past ten years when his memories had not fully returned.

It's not that they've truly come to regard themselves as people of this world.

They had no intention of starting a family or spreading their seeds.

He was actually quite afraid that Jasmine would find out about this and come after him, demanding an explanation.

Thinking of Jasmine, Link fell silent for a moment.

It is unknown whether this world has been "captured" by the High Council of the Wizarding World, or whether the flow of time has changed.

After pondering for a moment, I came up with nothing.

Link simply cut off this distracting thought, no longer wasting his energy.

Let's focus on what's in front of us.

The master has left, but the internal promotion of "constructs" will not stop.

Everything has been explained and prepared.

The only responsibility was to select disciples who lacked aptitude and to hand over the reins to Link.

As early as the day Link left the valley, Bajiquan immediately recalled all its disciples who were working outside.

All the assets that could be sold were sold off, while those that couldn't be sold were kept running discreetly.

No matter how big the losses are, it doesn't matter, as long as we can keep people alive and get through the foreseeable turmoil safely.

If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both. If you save the people but lose the land, you save both.

That's the way it is.

Time flies, and another half month has passed.

"So, are you ready to try it out?"

In the laboratory, Link finished his work and completed another "construct" implantation. While tidying up the equipment, he asked the people around him questions.

This person was Hu Suqi, who returned to Fuli County with her senior brother Shi.

After learning about "constructs", he immediately became extremely curious and wanted to learn more.

After comprehensive consideration and more than twenty days of observation, the outstanding effect of the "construct" was confirmed, and Hu Suqi signed the confidentiality agreement set by Link.

As a sorcerer, Hu Suqi had never seen such a contract before, but she could sense its powerful efficacy.

This is far superior to methods like planting a restriction.

Today marks the fifth day that Hu Suqi has been learning "construction" implantation techniques from Link.

The person on the operating table was the fifteenth disciple to receive "construct" implantation in the past five days.

The intensity and requirements of studying the "Construct" system of the Immortal Martial Arts compiled by Link while learning practical skills are quite high.

"There might still be something missing."

Hu Suqi reviewed the knowledge and skills she had acquired and shook her head.

"It's alright."

Link got up and left, leading Hu Suqi towards the basement.

Those who are utterly wicked can never be completely caught.

The two basement floors have been renovated; one floor is used as an isolation detention room, and the other floor is used as a laboratory and observation room.

"These are all your materials, practice them well."

Upon arriving at the second basement level, Link pointed to the twenty already full isolation cells and spoke in a detached tone.

"So many?"

After seeing it clearly, Hu Suqi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Don't worry, they're all people who deserve to die."

Lin Ke saw through Hu Suqi's thoughts behind her exclamation and provided an explanation in advance.

"Practice on your own, practice more."

After saying that, Link turned and left.

Hu Suqi stood there for a while before she finally moved.

She only learns ancient witchcraft, not evil witchcraft, because she doesn't want to become a cold-blooded demon who loses his humanity in pursuit of power.

Therefore, even knowing that the martial artists who are about to become her subjects are all heinous villains, she still needs to mentally prepare herself.

After searching for a while, Hu Suqi first picked out a note that had been specially posted outside the isolation room, which read "a lecherous thief who has ruined dozens of virgins."

Such a person deserves to be torn to pieces.

At the operating table, the patient is anesthetized, restrained, and all pre-operative preparations are complete.

Hu Suqi gritted her teeth and began her first practical exercise.

Link had already teleported to another base.

Taking advantage of the chaos last night, Hu Songqi broke away from the inner guards and the secret forces left behind by Hu Shengqing, sneaked to this place, and contacted Linke.

She would never forget the opportunity for transcendence that Lin Ke had promised, and the chance that she would have the strength to kill Hu Shengqing.

"You've finally arrived."

Sitting in the cave illuminated by the luminous pearl, Hu Songqi's voice was eerie and ghostly, "I thought you were done with me and then abandoned me."

"Nonsense."

Link pursed his lips, then asked, "Are you ready?"

"certainly."

Hu Songqi got up, loosened his grip, and the robe he was wearing fell to the ground. Naked, he walked to the stone bed and lay down without feeling cold.

Link arrived at the stone slab and carefully examined Hu Songqi's body, not missing a single detail.

"Turn it over."

After observing for a while, Link gave an order.

Without hesitation, Hu Songqi immediately rolled over and lay face down on the stone bed.

Link looked around again, making sure he had a clear understanding of the situation.

"Okay, lie down now."

As he spoke, Link took out the necessary equipment and supplies and arranged them one by one.

Hu Songqi readily lay down in a spread-eagle position, allowing Link to do as he pleased.

Based on Hu Songqi's physical condition, carrying capacity, and background in evil sorcery, Link retrieved the "Shadow Annihilation" suit he had designed for Christina from his memories.

Of course, it's impossible to copy it completely; we can only borrow its design ideas.

The set designed for Hu Songqi is called "Shadow Assassin," and it has only two functions: blending into the shadows and backstabbing.

Merging into the shadows is not an ordinary Shadow Cloak technique, but rather Link's masterpiece of teleportation.

According to Li Shuwen's theory, "Shadow Assassin" blends into the shadows, which is equivalent to the effect of the Shadow City in the Wizarding World disappearing into the shadow layer, making it extremely difficult to be detected and perfect for stealth and assassination.

As for backstab, it is a concept and rule that increases the attack power of attacking the enemy from behind.

Hu Songqi wanted to kill Hu Shengqing, but his chances of winning in a direct confrontation were almost zero.

Then the only option left is assassination.

"Shadow Assassin" is the perfect choice.

Link also gained a lot from designing the "Shadow Assassin" set.

"Insight into the void" actually means to understand and analyze concepts and rules.

Designing the "Shadow Assassin" set allowed Link to explore some of the rules and concepts related to darkness, shadow, and assassination in this world.

I'm not far from advancing to the Void Realm of the Human Immortal Martial Arts.

After a flurry of activity, the level 1 "Shadow Assassin" set was successfully implanted into Hu Songqi.

After further refinement, the "Shadow Assassin" set is expected to be upgraded to level 5!

In the "Construction" system of the Immortal Martial Arts established by Link, the first-level set corresponds to the Qi Strength Realm, the second-level set corresponds to the Condensation Realm, the third-level set corresponds to the Unity Realm, the fourth-level set corresponds to the Void Realm, and the fifth-level set currently has no corresponding level.

Because he has never seen a cultivator of the fifth realm in this world.

However, it seems unlikely that they can be matched.

It may be somewhere between the peak of the Void Realm and the Fifth Realm.

"Stop practicing evil magic, practice this instead."

Link left behind two booklets and drifted away.

Without anesthesia, Hu Songqi remained fully conscious throughout the entire "construct" implantation process, relying solely on her willpower.

After Link left, Hu Songqi sat up, her eyes filled with anger.

Is she ugly?

Is she not in good shape?

Just like a stone, it didn't even have the slightest thought of taking advantage of others, let alone try to do so.

Seriously... I'm so angry.

Hu Songqi didn't even put on any clothes, and angrily picked up two booklets and started flipping through them.

The first booklet explains the design philosophy, refinement methods, usage, and suggestions for "Shadow Assassin".

The second booklet contains some cultivation and combat techniques that can be paired with the "Shadow Assassin" set. They are grand and majestic, even purer than ancient witchcraft, and have a completely different approach.

"This is……"

Hu Songqi's breathing suddenly became heavy and labored, and his face flushed with excitement.

Lin Ke was completely oblivious to the impact his left-behind booklet had on Hu Songqi.

He just wanted to use Hu Songqi to kill Hu Shengqing.

If there's a chance that Hu Shengqing's death could break the causal chain, then let's give it a try.

Anyway, Hu Songqi's failed assassination attempt didn't have much of an impact.

Link appeared atop a mountain, gazing in the direction of the Hunyuan Sect.

As the "Construct" system of the Immortal Martial Arts is gradually promoted, the two causal threads that are entangled with Link, which are related to the development of the Level 8 Martial Arts School and the Immortal Martial Arts, are about to be severed.

The only one that remains unchanged is the one related to Master Li Shuwen.

Link had previously speculated that perhaps he would need to help Li Shuwen advance to the "Seeing God" realm before he could.

But now, Link has a sudden premonition.

Something has happened to the Hunyuan Sect, and Master Li Shuwen is in trouble.

If we can help our master get through this trouble and help the Hunyuan Sect escape the crisis, it will make the causal chain much weaker.

However, Link did not act rashly.

Instead, he returned to Fuli County and mobilized the intelligence system he had built up in previous years to gather information.

After piecing together the general outline of the situation from the fragmented information from various sources, Link finally set off.

Lin Ke doesn't need to worry too much about Master Li Shuwen's safety.

Anyone or any force capable of killing Li Shuwen can also kill Link now.

The crisis that Hunyuan Sect is involved in does not lie with Hunyuan Sect itself.

But it lies in the capital city.

Internal Security! (End of Chapter)
