Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

People with low comprehension tend to stick to what they learn and are more rigid.”

Jiang Weichen understood that Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation because he was hit by an apple.

Others discovered that there were apples on the tree and chose to climb up the tree to eat them.

After staying in Qingyun Mountain for two days and discussing his cultivation experience with Taoist Qingyun, Jiang Weichen returned to Yunwu Mountain, intending to make some arrangements before setting off.

But suddenly someone from the Imperial City Bureau came to the door. When Jiang Weichen came back, Chunhua told him that someone from the Imperial City Bureau had come to the door before.

I didn't expect it to happen again. It's probably not a good thing.

When Jiang Weichen arrived at the reception room, he saw a man in casual clothes, about thirty years old, sitting in the hall and sipping tea slowly.

Jiang Weichen entered the hall and said with a smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, sir. What's your name?"

The man put down his teacup without getting up, and directly took out his badge and said, "I am Ding Can, an unknown person from the Imperial City Bureau."

Jiang Weichen didn't recognize the badge of the Imperial City Bureau either. He took a symbolic look at it, memorized its style, and then sat opposite it.

"Since Lord Ding has come to see me, I don't need to introduce myself. Please state your purpose directly."

"I'm here to convey the message from above and invite Alliance Leader Jiang to join the Imperial City Division." Ding Can said straight to the point.

Jiang Weichen was stunned. He thought he was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he was here to invite him to join the Imperial City Division.

But he didn't want to join the Imperial City Bureau. If he couldn't hold a high position in the officialdom, he would just be ordering others around and running errands, which would seriously delay his cultivation.

However, being in a high position is not something that can be achieved by just being good at martial arts, not to mention in the Song Dynasty, which values ​​civil officials over military officials. It requires connections, personal connections, and intrigue.

Without connections and relationships, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are just a bodyguard or a subordinate.

To develop relationships and connections, you need to give gifts and exchange favors.

Spending time on these things is too time-consuming.

This is also the reason why he gave up his career as an official after discovering that this was a world of martial arts.

Chapter 176 Invitation from the Imperial City Division

Jiang Weichen asked tentatively, "Master Ding, what will happen if I refuse?"

Jiang Weichen thought Ding Can would answer: Kill without mercy or no one can refuse the invitation of the Imperial City Bureau.

But Ding Can replied directly: "It's okay, the Imperial City Bureau doesn't force others."

Jiang Weichen wondered if the people in the Imperial City Bureau were really so open-minded. He was a little skeptical, but he still said directly, "Then I refuse."

"Alliance Leader Jiang, would you like to consider it again?" Ding Can was not at all surprised by Jiang Weichen's answer.

Those who are invited by the Imperial City Bureau are either highly skilled in martial arts, extremely talented, or have special talents in other areas.

In short, these people have a certain status in the world.

The martial artists in the martial arts world have always been unwilling to accept the control of the imperial court, so eight out of ten invitations were rejected, and the two times they were invited were because they had their eyes on something and had their own purposes.

Jiang Weichen smiled and said, "I'm used to being free. It's good to cultivate peacefully in Yunwu Mountain."

Ding Can smiled and said, "I heard that the Giant Whale Gang has a lot of martial arts secrets, which were brought back by Feng Chuan and Alliance Leader Jiang.

Leader Jiang wants to practice hard, but he's afraid there will be trouble in the near future."

Jiang Weichen had already thought about this when he came back, and replied: "When the enemy comes, we will fight them with our generals, and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I have indeed read some secret manuals with Feng Chuan.

But I am not greedy, so I did not copy it down, nor did I pass it on.”

"But will people in the martial arts world believe what Alliance Leader Jiang says?" Ding Can said with a smile.

"No, they will definitely come to our door when they hear the news."

"Then how does Alliance Leader Jiang plan to respond?" Ding Can asked.

Facing Ding Can's question, Jiang Weichen replied as a matter of course: "Those who came in the early stage were just minions. We should persuade them with kind words. If they don't listen, we will kill them one by one. If they come and we can't beat them, then we will run away."

Ding Can asked, "Alliance Leader Jiang has put so much effort into developing the Supreme Alliance. Is he willing to abandon his subordinates and this great foundation and leave?"

"So what if I'm unwilling? As long as I'm alive, I can reunite my subordinates if they disperse, and rebuild my legacy if it's lost." Jiang Weichen said in a single tone.

Ding Can frowned, thinking this was somewhat inconsistent with the higher-ups' requirements, so he said, "The news hasn't spread yet. I would like to request that the higher-ups suppress the spread of the news to buy time for Alliance Leader Jiang."

Jiang Weichen was stunned. He was a little confused. He had rejected the other party, and not only was the other party not angry, but he was actually willing to help him?

Jiang Weichen frowned and said, "Conditions."

Ding Can smiled and said, "Couldn't I just look up to Alliance Leader Jiang and establish a friendship?"

Jiang Weichen smiled and said, "Lord Ding is too kind to me. If Lord Ding wants to help me, it might mean that he thinks highly of me.

But specifically requesting someone from above to suppress the spread of the news would come at a different price. I know my own limitations and don't think I can afford to ask Lord Ding to do me such a favor."

Ding Can looked at Jiang Weichen for a long time before saying, "I heard that Alliance Leader Jiang is only fourteen years old. He's not ordinary."

Ding Can said directly: "Copy a copy of the secret book you obtained for me, and that will be your reward."

Jiang Weichen spread his hands and said, "Master Ding, I really didn't copy any of them, I just picked a few to practice on my own.

However, if Lord Ding wants, he can go directly to the Giant Whale Gang and explain the interests to Feng Chuan, and he will be willing to make a copy for Lord Ding."

Ding Can didn't know whether it was true or not, but he didn't care. He stood up and said goodbye, "I will ask the higher-ups to suppress this news. Alliance Leader Jiang, please practice quickly."

Jiang Weichen smiled and said, "Of course. I have always been very self-disciplined in my cultivation. Goodbye, Lord Ding."

Jiang Weichen stood up, bowed, and sent him out the door, squinting his eyes as he watched Ding Can leave.

Jiang Weichen smelled a conspiracy. They couldn't be so kind. They must have some plan, and the leak of information would be detrimental to the other party's plan.

I am an important chess piece in the opponent's layout, and it will be disadvantageous to their layout if I run away.

As for the so-called request for martial arts secrets, Jiang Weichen didn't take it seriously at all.

The Imperial City Bureau is an agency of the imperial court, responsible for suppressing the martial arts world. So why wouldn't it open a channel for exchanging martial arts secrets to its members?

The largest sect in the martial arts world is not Shaolin, nor the Beggars' Sect, but the imperial court, so naturally it has no shortage of martial arts secrets.

This person is over 30 years old and has already developed his own cultivation method. As long as it is not a secret manual of magical skills, it is not worth his time to change it.

As for sending him to the Giant Whale Gang to copy the secret manuals, Jiang Weichen really did not copy those secret manuals.

Although it is included in the panel, it would be a waste of time to copy it down one by one.

Since it was the Giant Whale Gang that leaked the news, he would go to the Giant Whale Gang. Besides, the Giant Whale Gang is more dangerous than his Supreme Alliance at this time.

The Giant Whale Gang is not as strong as the Supreme Alliance, and is the source of the leaked information, so it will definitely be the first to face those who cause trouble.

If Feng Chuan had not been so greedy and had only chosen a few books to take back, the impact would not have been significant and he could have found other excuses.

However, Feng Chuan took most of them back and asked his confidants to copy them.

This was the breaking point. Once he was caught, those so-called confidants were no longer confidants in an instant.

I originally came back to find Zheng Zhikang, the innate person north of Taihu Lake, to form a fleet.

But this is not the right time. I should go to Wuliang Mountain and get the Beiming Divine Art first.

Without the corresponding strength, no matter how big it grows, it will collapse overnight.

Alas, Master, if you don’t teach me the Divine Art of the North Sea, then I, your disciple, will be unfilial and go look for the book with the naked body of your Master’s wife.

Jiang Weichen called Yu Yaozu, Qiu Ruhua, Wang Zhaohui and others and gave them some instructions, then set off immediately.

…………

More than twenty days later, Jiang Weichen hurried all the way, changing horses almost every day, and finally arrived at Wuliang Mountain.

Originally, he had a simple fasting pill made from medicinal food, which allowed him to fast faster without having to stop for meals.

But the journey was quite turbulent. They encountered more than ten groups of bandits. Seeing that Jiang Weichen was alone, riding a horse and dressed in gorgeous clothes, they kept jumping out to rob him.

However, the highest martial arts level among these bandits is only the eighth level, and the rest are mostly a mob.

They were no match for Jiang Weichen and all died at his hands. Jiang Weichen also took none of their accumulated wealth.

After more than twenty days, several large boxes had been piled up in the Yandao Hall, filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which amounted to about 70,000 to 80,000 taels.

Among them, the bandit at the eighth level of acquired martial arts is the richest, and he also uses Shaolin martial arts.

Jiang Weichen guessed that the man should be a lay disciple of Shaolin, or someone sent by Shaolin to rob and make money.

Nowadays, although it is not a chaotic time and temples are very popular, people still engage in robbery and money-making activities.

Jiang Weichen showed no mercy to the man and killed him directly. All the tens of thousands of taels of wealth that he had collected became Jiang Weichen's pocket.

No wonder so many people like to be chivalrous and do good deeds, it really makes money quickly.

If Jiang Weichen runs out of money one day, he can pretend to be a rich man and travel around, and he will definitely gain a lot of money.

Jiang Weichen was also glad that he did not act rashly and came here directly, otherwise he might not be able to reach Dali alive.

Chapter 177 The Mystery of the Infinite Jade Wall

The main peak of Wuliang Mountain is shrouded in mist and dense jungle, with gurgling streams flowing through. Various small animals appear from time to time, and there are even many poisonous insects and venomous creatures.

Jiang Weichen avoided the people from Wuliang Sword Sect all the way and spent half a day to finally reach the back mountain of the main peak.

This is the forbidden area of ​​the Wuliang Sword Sect. Apart from the disciples guarding the Wuliang Jade Disk, there are almost no people here.

Jiang Weichen stood behind a pine tree, looking at two disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect sitting by the stream, chatting intermittently.

"Brother, do you think this Infinite Jade Disk really has any mysteries?"

"Who knows? Anyway, Master will lead all the disciples to study here every five days.

Everyone in the sect stared blankly at the stone wall. It's been over twenty years since I joined the sect, and everyone in the Eastern and Western sects has been like this."

"I think Grand Master was wrong back then. There are no immortals in this world."

"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. Grand Master really saw it, and the previous head of the Western Sect also saw it. Otherwise, why would the two sects compete for this jade wall every five years?"

"But, Senior Brother, we've been guarding here all day for almost a year, and we haven't seen any trace of the immortal appear on the stone wall?"

"Junior brother, how could an immortal appear at random? When this immortal disappeared, both Grand Master and the previous head of the Western Sect were deeply distressed. They had clearly encountered an immortal, but they didn't learn a single move from him.

The Grand Master often stared at the jade wall in a daze, becoming increasingly haggard, and eventually died of depression. He was still looking at the jade wall when he breathed his last. The previous head of the Western Sect also died of illness only half a year later.

So, Junior Brother, the legend of immortals is real. Master always says, where there is a will, there is a way. One day, the immortal will appear again."
