Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 22 Purchasing Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng

Several days later, in the square, Nan Feihuang was engaged in a fierce battle with Dian Wei.

While focusing on improving one's skills, it's still necessary to accumulate some combat experience.

Dian Wei wields a double-handed halberd. He did not learn the Eighteen Single-Handed Throws. He has his own fighting style. Although Nan Feihuang has the advantage in terms of martial spirit quality, physical fitness, and soul power, he can never beat Dian Wei in a real fight.

After all, Dian Wei was once a super warrior who fought on the battlefield.

His combat experience was honed little by little amidst the flames of war and the brink of life and death.

Once Nan Feihuang engaged him in combat, his originally exquisite Eighteen Single-Handed Thrusting Technique was completely restricted and rendered unusable.

Dian Wei was extremely familiar with this martial art. He had fought against Lü Bu during the Battle of Puyang, and Lü Bu had used this martial art at the very beginning.

Only after being defeated by him did he unleash his true ultimate technique, the Ghost God Halberd Technique.

Even Lu Bu's eighteen single-handed thrusts couldn't defeat Dian Wei, let alone Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang's thrust was easily blocked by Dian Wei's left-hand halberd branch, and no matter how hard Nan Feihuang tried, he could not pull back.

The only way is to recall the martial soul with one's mind and then summon it again, but that would take at least a second.

In that instant, Dian Wei's right halberd was already at his neck.

"Erlai, you're really something. I admit defeat." Nan Feihuang said frankly. He never thought he could defeat Dian Wei now, a super general from the Three Kingdoms period who was comparable to Lü Bu and the Five Tiger Generals.

He only honed his halberd skills through Dian Wei, and with his guidance, Nan Feihuang progressed very quickly.

"Ahhhhh..." Lu Lingqi cried out a few times, jumped onto the Soul Battle Platform, pointed at Dian Wei, and then pointed down, signaling him to go down. Next, it was her turn to battle Nan Feihuang.

However, Dian Wei wouldn't listen to her. Instead, he looked at Nan Feihuang, who nodded to him. Only then did Dian Wei obediently jump off the stage.

Having made renewed preparations, Nan Feihuang faced his new opponent, Lü Lingqi.

Although Lü Lingqi did not have the same level of battlefield experience as Dian Wei, she came from a family with a strong academic tradition and received Lü Fengxian's true teachings from a young age. Lü Bu also taught her the Ghost God Halberd Technique, which he created himself.

Once Nan Feihuang has laid a solid foundation and honed his Eighteen Single-Handed Thrusting Technique to its limit, she will pass this halberd technique on to him.

Although her father said that her family's martial arts skills could not be taught to outsiders, her son-in-law was not an outsider.

Lü Lingqi also has a decisive and straightforward personality. Like Lü Bu, she believes in the principle that "if I take a liking to someone, that's who they are." Therefore, since she likes Nan Feihuang, Nan Feihuang is destined to be her future man.

The clash between the Fangtian Halberd and the Feilian Halberd was quite different from the previous battle. If the battle with Dian Wei was a clash of strength, then the sparring with Lü Lingqi was a contest of speed.

The halberds in their hands were wielded so tightly that they created a series of afterimages.

Lan Xue observed secretly, feeling very satisfied. Her son Nan Feihuang, as well as Dian Wei and Lü Lingqi, were not just strong in cultivation.

These three are simply born warriors. They can learn any move and master it instantly. With more time to hone their skills, it wouldn't be difficult for them to reach a state of consummate skill and unparalleled mastery.

And then there's Xun Yu. His martial spirit is special, so he doesn't need to have combat skills. Therefore, apart from basic body training, he won't participate in any combat spirit sparring.

Every day, he would diligently study military strategy, tactics, politics, and political maneuvering.

His photographic memory, ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, and exceptional intelligence are truly rare in a century.

If these four join forces and grow stronger, it will be difficult for the Kingdom of Gulei not to rise to power.

Under the sunlight, Xun Yu put down the military treatise in his hand and murmured, "Several days have passed. Mr. Jia should have arrived in Xingluo by now."

Just as he had guessed, Jia Chong entered Kasna Village half a day earlier.

It was indeed just a simple village. Who would have thought that the Min Clan, which was once backed by the Haotian Sect and was the number one intelligence agency on the continent, would have fallen to such a state?

Jia Chong did not resort to any tricks, but instead presented his visiting card openly and came to pay his respects to Bai He.

Bai He was taken aback when he received the invitation. Since offending the Spirit Hall, all the major powers had kept their distance from the four single-attribute families, and no one had visited them for many years.

As the world's number one scout, Bai He naturally knew about the Brute Force Sect and Jia Chong. The Brute Force Sect was one of the four lower sects that had been nominated for the next generation, slightly inferior to the Beehive Sect. Its sect's martial soul, the Giant Horned Beetle, was a rare power-type martial soul. As the sect leader, Jia Chong's level was estimated to be around level 83 to 84.

The arrival of a powerful Contra player is no small matter anywhere.

Baihe quickly tidied herself up and then went out to greet them.

No matter how down on their luck the Min clan is now, they can't lose face.

"Sect Leader Jia Chong, your visit to my Min clan from afar is truly an honor for me, Bai He!" Bai He greeted him warmly. "Come, please come inside and have some tea."

Jia Chong followed Bai He to the hall and sat down, saying frankly, "Excuse me, Chief Bai He, I don't come here without a reason. I am here on the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the King."

"Oh, the King and Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Gulei? Please forgive me for not being able to guess. In what way can my Min clan help your country?" Baihe asked in confusion.

"Well, it's really hard to say." Jia Chong was a little embarrassed. He couldn't just casually mention the shameful fact that his king's health had been ruined by eating too much whale glue.

"If it's inconvenient for you, sir, you don't have to say." Bai He didn't press the matter. As someone involved in intelligence, he knew all too well that some things couldn't be known to others. "Then please speak frankly, sir. What kind of help do you need from the Min clan?"

"We have received intelligence that your sect possesses a rare medicinal herb called Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Therefore, we have come here with sincere intentions, hoping to purchase it from you. Our country is willing to offer 400 million gold soul coins. What do you think?" Jia Chong said frankly.

In fact, Nan Feihuang gave him 800 million, but of course he couldn't give it all at once. As the head of a sect, he must understand the principle of asking for an exorbitant price and then settling for a bargain.

He initially set the price too high, fearing that the white crane would become even more aggressive.

Bai He gasped. Four million gold soul coins—even during the peak of the Min clan, he had never seen so much money.

After all, the Haotian Sect is not like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Although it is not short of money, it is not rolling in money either.

In today's world, there aren't many forces that can come up with 400 million gold soul coins in one go. Apart from the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the nation, there are only a few.

It is clear that the Kingdom of Gulei came with sincerity.

He was just a little puzzled. He possessed the secret of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which even his best friend Yang Wudi didn't know. How did the Ancient Lei Kingdom know about it?

Could it be that they have an intelligence agency that is no less powerful than the Min clan?
