by Little Merger

Waking up, Han Zhao transmigrated to a world where the kingdoms competed for supremacy and the demons were rampant. The Divine Warrior Family stood high above the world, and the Spiritual Beast Family overlooked all living beings. The Martial Dao system was broken and declining. Han Zhao had mediocre qualifications but was armed with a prompt simulator. After the kryptonite simulat

"Brother Han, this is the refinement insights left behind by the six generations of the Zhu family's blacksmiths. Although it's not a treasure, it's still valuable. If you learn the Art of Forging, it will definitely be useful to you. Even if you sell it, it…

Zhu Kangsheng picked up the Weapon Refinement Insight and handed it to Han Zhao with both hands. When he mentioned selling it, he looked extremely reluctant.

Han Zhao stood up and took the Weapon Refinement Insight. He said seriously, "Manor Master Zhu, don't worry! If I don't learn the Art of Forging, I'll find someone fated to pass down this manual. I won't let your Zhu family's Art of Forging lose its inheritance."

"Thank you!" Zhu Kangsheng grabbed Han Zhao's hand and picked up another brown booklet.

"Brother Han, according to my great-grandfather, this Art of Forging was obtained from my Great Ancestor and has been passed down to me. However, the forging methods recorded in it are relatively evil and are severely lacking, so I'll leave it for you as a memento."

Han Zhao took the brown booklet and carefully flipped through it.

As Zhu Kangsheng had said, it was very serious and the basic content was incoherent.

Only the last few pages were relatively complete.

"Sacrificial Refinement!" Looking at the incomplete forging technique, Han Zhao suddenly reacted. No wonder Zhu Kangfeng used his body to forge the saber and sword. It was indeed extremely evil!

"I'll accept these. It'll take at least half a year or three months. Manor Master Zhu, please wait for my good news!" Han Zhao put the two books away and did not say anything else.

"Thank you!" Zhu Kangsheng cupped his fists solemnly. "If Qi Xing leaves the Flying Dragon Stockade, I'll send someone to inform you immediately."

"Alright, in that case, I still have something on. I'll take my leave first!" Han Zhao cupped his hands and bowed. After leaving behind a hundred taels of silver, he walked out.

"Brother Han, please come and get the saber in a month." Zhu Kangsheng picked up the money and the Extraction Saber and stood up to send him off.

"Manor Master Zhu, please wait."

Han Zhao walked to the porch and gestured for him not to send her off.

Zhu Kangsheng watched Han Zhao leave and bowed 90 degrees to him. "Brother Han is really a loyal person!"

After Han Zhao returned to Blackrock City, he hid the secret manual under the floor tiles at home.

Now that their safety was guaranteed, they could leave some valuables at home at ease. After all, Yu Niang was at home.

He realized that martial artists with fixed residences usually gave him fewer gains from looting their corpses.

As for those martial artists whose whereabouts were unknown, especially wanted criminals, they basically had all their assets on them.

Han Zhao hid the secret manual and instructed Yu Niang to take good care of the house before rushing towards the Yejiang District.

He wanted to make a trip to Jade Wind City to ask Fang Ling of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion for help to buy enough black gold and other materials. This way, there would not be any problems.

Otherwise, spending a few thousand taels in Blackrock City would easily cause problems no matter what alias he used. If he went to Jade Wind City, he could casually use the tiger skin of the aristocratic families, saving him a lot of trouble.

Considering Lu Yi's relationship, Han Zhao had to inform him before he left.

When Han Zhao rushed to the martial arts school, he realized that a group of apprentices had gathered in the outer courtyard. In the middle, Zhang Tianwen's face was red, as if he was surrounded by stars.

"What happened?" Han Zhao walked into the inner courtyard and asked Xu Ling about the situation.

"His eldest brother, Zhang Wu, failed to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm again. He was seriously injured and fainted. He had completely lost the chance to break through. Then, Meng Zhi of the Meng family went crazy and actually went to the Zhang family at Zhang Tianwen's invitation. The Zhang family's patriarch directly decided to fully support Zhang Tianwen to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm. He's probably the future patriarch of the Zhang family." Xu Ling explained softly.

"Is that so?" Han Zhao nodded.

The Meng family was one of the five strongest families in Blackrock City. The family head was a Force Tempering Martial Master.

As a genius of the Meng family, Meng Zhi was still three months away from 20 years old. Some time ago, he had successfully broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm and swept through the various martial arts schools during the fistfight. Now, he could be said to be in the limelight in the entire Blackrock City.

The Su family and the Zhang family had both lost two Blood Tempering Realm experts. During this period of time, both families had spent a lot of money to sign another quasi-Martial Master in the Blood Tempering Realm to recover some vitality.

However, a quasi-Martial Master in his forties or fifties who was also in the Blood Tempering Realm was not the same as a genius like Meng Zhi who had the hope of grasping Internal Force.

[Zhang Tianwen Perfected Bone Tempering Realm. His blood qi is on the verge of breaking through. He possesses the blood qi of others. His blood qi is abnormal!]

Han Zhao focused his attention on Zhang Tianwen. The system notification that appeared made him frown slightly.

"Other people's blood qi?! Isn't this…"

"Junior Brother Han!" As if noticing Han Zhao's gaze, Zhang Tianwen, who was surrounded by everyone, suddenly walked towards the inner courtyard. "I wonder if you've ever thought that this day would come?"

Han Zhao came back to his senses and cupped his hands at Zhang Tianwen. "Senior Brother Zhang, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing. I just want to know how thick-skinned Junior Brother Han is."

Zhang Tianwen said proudly, "You didn't expect this day, right?"

"What did you say?!" Xu Ling frowned and pulled out half of the long saber at her waist. She already had a bad impression of Zhang Tianwen, not to mention that this guy could not be compared to her Junior Brother Han at all.

Even that Meng Zhi was probably inferior to Junior Brother Han. Moreover, Zhang Tianwen had a smug look on his face. He really looked like a clown!

"I was just joking. Don't mind me." Zhang Tianwen smiled and looked at Han

Zhao. "Don't tell me Junior Brother Han can't take a joke?"

[He…]

The system notification seemed to be unsure of how to convince Han Zhao to charge more money.

"No." Han Zhao shook his head with a calm expression.

"Haha!" Zhang Tianwen laughed loudly and walked towards the outer courtyard. He shouted at the people in the field, "Brothers, I'm happy today.

Let's drink! I'll pay for the wine!"

"I'm paying!" Zhang Tianwen waved his hand horizontally.

"Senior Brother Zhang is open-minded!" "Let's go drink!"

The apprentices cheered in response.

Before leaving, Zhang Tianwen even glanced at Han Zhao provocatively. This was the happiest day of his year. Moreover, it would not be long before he could break through to the Blood Tempering Realm.

"You!" Xu Ling was furious and was about to step forward.

Han Zhao pulled her back and shook his head. "Forget it. There's no need to argue with such a person."

"Forget it again?" Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Han Zhao was stunned, not understanding why Xu Ling said

'again'.

"Nothing." Xu Ling smiled.

If she remembered correctly, the first time Junior Brother Han said forget it, half of Fang Hongyun's teeth were knocked out and his leg was broken.

The second time she said forget it was when she went to Taoyuan Village. In the end, only she, the registered elder, and Junior Brother Han survived.

This time, he said forget it.

'Then forget it. Leave it to him to deal with.'

"Don't be angry over such a person. Let's go to your house. I'll show you something good." Han Zhao took out the secret manual of the Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique.

He had easily entered the Entry Level with just a casual cultivation. Now, he was just short of teaching Xu Ling step by step and guiding her in her cultivation.

This cultivation method was not difficult. It was mainly a technique to use the details of blood qi. Through a long period of accumulation, one could climb to the peak and achieve the effect of accumulating and breaking through the bottleneck.

"What is it?" Xu Ling glanced at the secret manual curiously. The phoenix chirped in harmony with..

"Junior Brother Han, you?!"

Xu Ling suddenlv reacted and her face flushed red.

"Come on, come on! It's really a good thing!" Han Zhao pulled Xu Ling out.

Xu Ling felt dizzy as Han Zhao held her hand and walked home. It was a bright sunny day… How could they be like this?

In the evening.

Yonghe District.

"I really underestimated her!"

Han Zhao walked out of the Xu residence and looked at his right hand, looking like he had not had enough.

In the afternoon, he brought Xu Ling back to her room and explained the details of the Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique to her in detail. Then, in order to prevent her from having doubts during the cultivation process or practicing wrongly, Han Zhao practically taught her step by step.

Of course, it was inevitable that there would be some physical contact during the process.

However, with the relationship between the two of them, which would deepen sooner or later, this was only foreplay.

"There's still more than three catties of Black Ink Demon Snake jerky left. It's a little wasteful to eat this foundation of mine. It can effectively increase Senior Sister Xu's blood qi."

Han Zhao thought to himself.

This thing cost 400 taels of silver a catty. Not only was it expensive, but it was also not easy to buy.

The effect of him eating it himself would definitely be greatly reduced. It was far inferior to giving it to Xu Ling, who had a medium to high-grade foundation.

Although the Xu family was rich, Xu Ling had yet to obtain the family business. She only had a rice store and a few small shops that were not profitable.

In terms of wealth at this stage, Xu Ling was probably much inferior to him.

Back then, when he was in his most difficult situation, it was Xu Ling who helped him.

Everyone liked to add icing on the cake. There were a few who knew how to help in times of need. It was already not bad if they did not add insult to injury.

Han Zhao was still a virgin, and Xu Ling was also a virgin. The effect of their harmonization for the first time was the greatest.

After Xu Ling broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, Han Zhao would obtain even more benefits if he cultivated with her.

If Xu Ling had not broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm after mastering the Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique and Han Zhao had helped her, she could cultivate and break through together.

After that, he could teach her the original Life Nurturing Technique.

When Xu Ling completely controlled the Xu family, she would have more money and Han Zhao could benefit from it.

After all, she was indeed very business-minded and good at making money.

As for Han Zhao, he knew that he did not have any talent for doing business. He could only be the man behind Xu Ling.

If he had nothing to do, he would cultivate together. If he had anything to do, he would give her a facade and help her remove the obstacles to earning money.

"I'll cultivate it myself first. If she doesn't break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, I'll cultivate this cultivation technique to the limit. In any case, I'll definitely use it in the future."

Han Zhao thought as he quickly rushed towards the Xinqiao District in the outer city.

When Han Zhao returned home, Yu Niang was collecting clothes in the courtyard.

"Brother Han, you're back. I'll cook immediately." When Yu Niang saw Han Zhao return, she carried her clothes and walked into the room.

"Okay." Han Zhao followed.

Although he was not short of money now, there was no need to squander it. Moreover, Yu Niang was indeed good at cooking. If she went out and opened a restaurant, business would definitely be good.

If she did not let Yu Niang do the housework, she would instead feel that she was useless and had no contribution to this family.

Han Zhao walked into the room. Yu Niang was sitting on the bed folding clothes.

"Oh yes."

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Half-devils also had half the human bloodline. Since Yu Niang could transform into a human, she might be able to cultivate human martial arts.

Han Zhao recalled the simulation where he lived the longest.

When he was 26 years old, Yu Niang mysteriously disappeared. Then, the Han family was wiped out at 111 years old. He was saved by a huge blue bird. In the end, the Weapon Master killed him.

Although the difference between the two was huge and the huge blue bird in the simulation ignored him, the only "bird" who had a relationship with him was the mysterious missing Yu Niang.

If Yu Niang had a fortuitous encounter in the past hundred years and became a powerful demon, it was possible.

"If I support Yu Niang's cultivation without affecting my cultivation progress, I might have unexpected gains."

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He did not know if the Fiend Condensation Martial Saint could fly, but Ji Zhuling, who was comparable to a Visceral Tempering Grandmaster, could not.

There was no need for Yu Niang to have very strong combat strength. As long as she was big enough when she transformed, it was enough for him to ride her and fly with her.

No matter how fast his movement technique was, could it compare to flying?

If he could win, he would chase after the enemy. If he couldn't, he would fly and run. He completely had the initiative.

He did as he said!

"Yu Niang." Han Zhao walked to her side.

Yu Niang folded the clothes beside her and looked up at him in confusion.

"What's wrong, Brother Han?"

"Do you want to practice martial arts?" Han Zhao asked.

"Can… I?" Yu Niang was stunned.

"As long as you want." "I want to learn."

Yu Niang nodded heavily.

"Come, let me test your foundation." Han Zhao gestured for her to stand up. After cultivating Internal Force, he could also test the foundation of others.

Yu Niang stood up, her body tense.

"Don't be so nervous. Relax." Han Zhao smiled and reached out to squeeze Yu Niang's right arm gently.

Yu Niang felt as if her tendons had been rubbed repeatedly. Her entire right side was numb. If not for Han Zhao supporting her, she would not have been able to stand steadily.

Then, Han Zhao pinched Yu Niang's left arm, then her ribs, and finally her spine and shoulder bones.

"Hmm! " Yu Niang frowned as if she was in some pain.

"Alright." Han Zhao retracted his hand. "Your foundation is not bad."

It was not the top-notch foundation of a peerless genius that he had imagined, but it was much better than his.

"Phew Yu Niang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"How about this? I'll teach you a chant first. Remember it with your heart."

"Yes!"

"Listen carefully. Anyone who moves heaven and earth will have pure qi that is also extremely hard and gentle, neutralizing qi…'

Han Zhao recited the First Level of the Life Nurturing Technique three times.

"Do you remember?"

"No… no." Yu Niang shook her head in embarrassment.

"…" Han Zhao's expression froze. "It's fine. I'll do it a few more times."

In the end, Han Zhao spent more than ten minutes letting Yu Niang memorize the incantation.

"This is the human circulation diagram. I'll use my true qi to bring you through the circulation route." Han Zhao took out the human circulation diagram of the Life Nurturing Technique and handed it to Yu Niang.

"Yes." Yu Niang took the painting and observed it seriously.

Han Zhao took off his shoes and sat on the bed, assuming a five-centered posture.

"Get on!"

"Yes." Yu Niang sat on the bed and placed the circulation diagram in front of her. She imitated Han Zhao's actions and assumed a five-centered posture. Han Zhao placed his hand on Yu Niang's barren chest. "Feel the flow of true qi."

A wisp of green-white true qi as thin as a hair entered Yu Niang's heart, then flowed through her limbs and bones before entering her dantian.

Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-Demon)

—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (First Level Below Entry Level, Upgradeable)

Yu Niang's attributes appeared on the system interface. Looking at the words "Upgradeable", Han Zhao was stunned.

"Good lord! She became a 'cheater'?! "

It seemed that the attribute points could also help Yu Niang increase the progress of her cultivation method. He had still underestimated this system.

Was it because of the bloodline connection between the two parties?

"Unfortunately, I don't even have enough attribute points myself. How can I give them to Yu Niang?"

Han Zhao sighed in his heart.

However, when he did not lack Yin energy, he could split a small portion of his attribute points to nurture Yu Niang so that she could fly with him.

After Han Zhao's True Qi guided Yu Niang for three cycles, he let her practice according to the cultivation diagram.

He returned to his bed, reached into the lining of his shirt, and took out a thin booklet the size of his palm.

Han Zhao flipped open the golden cover of the secret manual and saw a naked monk sitting cross-legged on the first page with a ferocious expression.

He calmed down and looked down. It was as if he could see the monk's body in the painting trembling continuously as if he was enduring immense pain.

Below the monk pattern was the incantation for the First Level.

With his current memory, he quickly memorized the incantation of the First Level.

"Since I can rely on myself to master the First Level of the Vajra Technique in the simulation, there's no reason for me not to be able to master it in reality. Moreover, I still have the jerky of the Black Ink Demon Snake in my hands. I'll give it a try."

"I can't rely too much on attribute points. It's also very important to cultivate hard."

When Han Zhao first came to this world, he basically relied on his own efforts.

Thinking of this, he opened the cabinet and took out the jerky of the Black Ink Demon Snake.

Although he was prepared to leave it for Xu Ling, he was only giving it a try and could not eat much.

"Crack!" Han Zhao picked up the long black jerky and took a small bite. It tasted like fried dough.

After eating a mouthful of snake meat, the blood qi in his entire body quickly became active.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Below Entry Level, Upgradeable)

AS tne cultivation metnoa circulatea, Han Lnao reit a tearmg pain all over ms body, and his muscles spasmed.

Every inch of his flesh, bones, and tendons felt intense pain. If not for the snake meat stimulating his blood qi and reducing the pain, he would probably have cried out.

"Hiss !" Han Zhao gritted his teeth and gasped.

This level of pain was comparable to breaking through from the Second Level to the Third Level of the Life Nurturing Technique.

When the snake meat in his stomach was completely digested, Han Zhao felt the pain begin to rise in a straight line. He hurriedly stopped circulating his energy.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable)

Looking at the Entry Level Vajra Technique displayed on the system interface, Han Zhao nodded secretly. "Yes, building a tall building starts with the foundation. I've passed the most difficult step. I'll add points to the rest."

Unless one was a masochist, this cultivation technique was not something ordinary people could cultivate.

"There's no need to force my body. There are still fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, and finger techniques that I can rely on my own hard work to cultivate."

[A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. The only thing you have to work hard to charge is to work hard.]

A system notification appeared.

"I got another chance." Han Zhao shook his head and laughed.

He put away the Black Ink Demon Snake jerky and walked to the courtyard to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm.

Although there was no Yin Fiend Energy to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm to the Yin Internal Force of Extreme Yin and Evil, other effects still existed.

In any case, he would not use the Yin energy accumulated in the Essence Soul Bead to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm.

After all, just the simulation was not enough. If he used it to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm, wouldn't that be focusing on the wrong thing? Was there something wrong with his brain?

He could first cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm to the perfected Second Level. Then, he could find a relatively safe Anomaly through simulation and directly absorb the Yin Fiend Energy in it. Finally, he could break through to the Third Level and cultivate the Yin Fiend Energy in one go.

With his powerful blood qi that was comparable to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough stage, he would be much faster than before when cultivating the first two levels of most martial arts. This was the huge advantage brought about by his higher realm and more blood qi.

His own efforts were important, but so was choosing the right direction.

Just like that, Han Zhao practiced until the sky turned completely dark. Martial Arts: Yin Fiend Palm (First Level Entry Level 5%, Upgradeable)

Han Zhao recalled the first time he cultivated the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique and used three months to reach the Small Mastery realm. He couldn't help but sigh.

Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-Demon)

—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (First Level Entry Level 3%, Upgradeable)

After a while, Yu Niang's attributes on the system interface also changed.

"I'll make a trip to Jade Wind City tomorrow and settle the matter of black gold."

Han Zhao thought to himself.

Oh right, he had forgotten to tell Lu Yi that he was going out. He had been focused on guiding Xu Ling's cultivation posture in the afternoon..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 67 Don't Cause Unnecessary Trouble

The next day, Han Zhao went to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy early and told Lu Yi that he was going out for the next period of time.

Lu Yi scolded him jokingly and told him not to die outside.

In this world, life and death were determined by fate, and wealth depended on people.

After Han Zhao left the martial arts school, he went to the Xu residence in the inner city and gave the remaining three catties of Black Ink Demon Snake jerky to Xu Ling.

"Junior Brother Han, be careful. Come back early." When Xu Ling learned that Han Zhao was going out, she didn't ask further and only looked at him with concern.

"Okay." Han Zhao smiled and reached out his fingertips to gently pat Xu Ling's cheek. However, when he touched her chubby face, he couldn't help but pinch it.

"You have to cultivate hard during this period of time. It would be best if you can directly break through to the Blood Tempering Realm. If you can't, don't be anxious. You can practice that first."

Han Zhao blinked at Xu Ling.

"I… Yes!" When Xu Ling heard him say 'that', she reacted. Although she was a little shy, she still agreed.

"Let's go!"

Han Zhao turned around and left, waving his hand behind him.

...

One and a half months later.

Jade Wind City's Myriad Treasure Pavilion, in a room on the fourth floor.

Fang Ling placed a long wooden box on the table.

He opened the box and saw that there was a small wooden board in the middle of the box. There were fist-sized pitch-black stones in the large area on the left, and some colorful ores in the small area on the right.

All of these added up to about 30 to 40 catties.

"Brother Ding, these are the 30 catties of black gold you wanted. There's also a small amount of black iron, refined iron, and so on. They're all here."

Fang Ling picked up the ores in the wooden box and displayed them one by one. Then, he took out a scale and weighed them in front of him.

This time, in order to purchase materials for Ding Xiu, the Fang family spent a lot of effort just to deepen their relationship with Ding Xiu.

When Han Zhao heard this, he said seriously, "Thank you, Manager Fang. I'll remember the Fang family's favor. I don't like to be superficial. In a few years, when I reach the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering, if the Fang family needs anything, you can look for me."

"Brother Ding, you're being too serious. Our Fang family opens our doors to do business. We love to befriend young heroes like you."

Fang Ling couldn't help but smile when he heard him say that he would be able to reach the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering in a few years. His smile became even brighter.

"This is the balance of the purchase of the ore. Supervisor Fang, please count it." Han Zhao took out 40 banknotes with 100 denominations.

Supervisor Fang took the banknotes and only roughly squeezed the thickness. He did not count them. Instead, he returned ten banknotes.

"Since Brother Ding treats our Fang family as friends, the cost price this time is enough."

Fang Ling smiled.

"In that case, it's impolite for me to refuse." Han Zhao took the banknote and couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, in order to earn an additional tael of silver every month, he had taught the children in the commoner district for half a year. Now, one face was worth more than a thousand taels.

"Brother Ding, are you preparing to forge a high-quality weapon? Our Fang family knows a few masters with exquisite forging skills. If you need help, we can help."

Fang Ling changed the topic and probed.

When Han Zhao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly reacted.

"I appreciate the Fang family's kindness, but this time, Thirteenth Miss has already found an old master in the family to forge a weapon for me."

"I see. The masters here are indeed not worth mentioning compared to the Ji family." Fang Ling laughed.

Han Zhao knew that this answer was not completely satisfactory to him, so he added,

"I'm now permanently stationed in Yuan Chang County. I often move around Jade Wind City, Jiayuan City, and Blackrock City because of some missions. If there's a chance for cooperation next time, I'll prioritize the Fang family."

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Fang Ling was beaming.

He could basically confirm that Ding Xiu was a member of the Ji family. After all, only a descendant of an aristocratic family could take out a complete Internal Force martial art to sell at the Blood Tempering Realm and spend seven to eight thousand taels of silver to forge a weapon.

Even Fang Ling himself, other than some businesses, could only take out tens of thousands of taels of silver. He was a martial artist at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering.

Fang Ling was worried that after they paid and worked hard, this Ding Xiu would return to Heavenly Prefecture's Great Liang City. Then, no matter how strong he was in the future, it would not have much to do with their Fang family.

this level, they will definitely know of the existence of our aristocratic family."

23:30

"The only people who dare to not give the Ji family face are the members of the five aristocratic However, if Ding Xiu stayed in Yuan Chang County permanently, there would definitely be a chance to cooperate in the future.

"Manager Fang, I'm in a hurry to return to the clan to forge weapons, so I'll take my leave first." Han Zhao bade farewell.

"Brother Ding, you brought so many precious materials. Do you need us to send someone to escort you for a while?"

Fang Ling suggested. His words were sincere. He wanted to befriend Ding Xiu further.

"There's no need for that. I don't care about the Blood Tempering Realm at all. I have a way to deal with ordinary Force Tempering Martial Masters." Han Zhao's expression was 'pretty smug'.

"Of course, although I can't deal with an expert among Martial Masters like you, Manager Fang, at this level, they will definitely know of the existence of our aristocratic family."

"The only people who dare to not give the Ji family face are the members of the five aristocratic families. However, they won't attack me for just 10,000 taels of silver."

"Brother Ding is right." A smile appeared on Fang Ling's face again.

There were not many martial artists who knew that Great Wei had five Spirit Beast Families and ten Divine Weapon Families.

At such a young age, Ding Xiu knew when to advance and retreat. His words and actions were watertight. Even if he was not from an aristocratic family, he would still be a hero among men in the future and was worth befriending.

"Manager Fang, see you again." Han Zhao lifted the strap on the wooden box and carried it on his back.

"Brother Ding, I'll send you off."

Fang Ling sent Han Zhao downstairs and arrived at the entrance.

"Manager Fang, please wait." Han Zhao gestured for Fang Ling not to send him off.

"Who is this person? He actually got the Fang family's Martial Master to personally send him off?"

"Judging from his age, he's probably a descendant of a large family, right?"

"Which family is so powerful? They're from the prefecture capital?!"

Everyone in the hall discussed animatedly. Han Zhao rushed towards the Datong Bank in the city without changing his expression.

The Fang family was indeed not bad. If there was a chance in the future, he could use the alias 'Ding Xiu' to cooperate.

Originally, he had to spend nearly 8,000 taels of silver to buy the materials this time. Now, he only used 7,000 taels of silver.

He still had 7,000 taels of silver left.

Since he was already here, he would exchange for some gold to top up.

...

"System, charge."

[Current Balance: 320 taels of gold]

After leaving Jade Wind City, Han Zhao charged all the 300 taels of gold he had exchanged. He still had 3,800 taels of silver left.

Then, he circulated his Life Nurturing True Qi and hurried on.

It took him an entire afternoon to run back from Jade Wind City to Nine Links Mountain. He basically did not rest much during the journey.

In the evening, Han Zhao rushed to Nine Links Mountain and sent the materials he bought to Edge Sharpening Manor, personally handing them to Zhu Kangsheng.

That was because Zhu Kangsheng had to refine the ores in advance to prepare for forging. When Han Zhao sent the Qi Xing head over, he would definitely be able to open the furnace immediately.

When Han Zhao walked out of Edge Sharpening Manor, he realized that someone was secretly staring at him in the corner.

He paid attention. After returning home, he focused his attention on the system interface.

[Collected 120 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 35 Notification Fragments and 20 taels of gold.]

[You will definitely obtain a one-time Basic Trait, Life Simulation. The probability of obtaining a White Trait will increase by 7%. The probability of obtaining a Green Trait will increase by 5%. The probability of obtaining a Blue Trait will increase by 4%. The probability of obtaining a Purple Trait will increase by 3%. The probability of obtaining an Orange Trait will increase by 2%.]

A month and a half ago, his Life Nurturing Technique had broken through. It was equivalent to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough of an external cultivation technique, so the price of synthesis had increased.

This time, it increased by 10 taels, but the probability of Orange Trait appearing increased by 2%.

During this period of time, he had already accumulated 120 notification fragments. There was still a quarter of the Yin energy accumulated by the Essence Soul Bead in Taoyuan Village, so he estimated that he had about 50 fragments left.

The Essence Soul Bead could automatically accumulate Yin energy and produce about 20 fragments every half a year.

Considering that there was a chance of a high-level Trait appearing from the ten consecutive draws, he wanted to save up enough fragments to synthesize ten times.

However, the materials he bought this time were expensive. He had to simulate them to ensure their safety.

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

[19 years old. Returned from Jade Wind City and handed the forging materials to Zhu Kangsheng.]

[After returning to Blackrock City, you discovered that Zhang Tianwen had already broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm.]

[Five days later, Zhang Tianwen's performance was not bad in the martial arts school competition.]

[A month later, Zhu Kangsheng sent a message to tell you that Qi Xing would head to Nine Links Town every 30 to 40 days. There were still about 30 days until his next trip to Nine Links Town.]

[Another month later, Zhu Kangsheng sent someone to inform you to go to Edge Sharpening Manor. When you arrived at Edge Sharpening Manor, you found that Zhu Kangsheng had been tortured. It was horrific, but he did not betray you.]

[At this moment, Qi Xing and another Blood Tempering Realm martial artist appeared and attacked you. You easily suppressed the two of them. Just as you were about to kill the two of them, Meng Zhi of the Meng family appeared and blocked your fatal strike.]

[You fought one against three and still had the upper hand.]

[Suddenly, the Meng family's Force Tempering Martial Master appeared and ambushed you from behind, severely injuring you.]

[You fought one against four and killed three people first. In the end, you used the Sword Drawing Technique and perished with the Meng family's Martial Master.]

"It seems that the frequent contact with Zhu Kangsheng has aroused the vigilance of the Flying Dragon Stockade. However, why is the Meng family involved?"

Han Zhao's expression darkened.

"Could it be that these materials worth thousands of taels are too tempting? Or do they have a share in the Flying Dragon Stockade?"

[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]

[1: Obtain Trait (Selectable)]

[2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]

[Current Balance: 300 taels of gold]

"There's a Trait?" Han Zhao was stunned when he saw that [Option 1] was available.

"First, I'll break through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough. Then, I'll increase my blood qi by two times to increase my combat strength."

Han Zhao pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"Since there are still two months to buffer, let's deal with the person who caused the trouble in advance to prevent unnecessary trouble."

Han Zhao muttered to himself, "Delay Option 1. I choose Option 2."

[Attribute Points 8]

Chapter 68 Righteousness, One (1)

Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Entry Level 34%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 4, Mountain Splitting Force Level 1, Life Extension 20 years)

Looking at the martial arts column, Han Zhao muttered in his heart, "Upgrade the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough."

As soon as Han Zhao finished speaking, the 8 attribute points flashed and the number began to jump. The words on the martial arts column quickly blurred.

He felt as if his body was burning as if he was hugging a furnace. His blood qi increased rapidly, and the feeling of his muscles expanding appeared again.

However, after the intense pain from cultivating the Vajra Technique last time, this pain was basically negligible to him.

Moreover, the feeling of his blood qi increasing was truly intoxicating.

It felt so good!

Power surged from all over his body.

[Attribute Points: 8 3]

Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Small Mastery 88%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 5, Mountain Splitting Force Level 2, Life Extension 20 years)

The words on the attribute pane became clear again.

He had also consumed 5 attribute points to reach the Third Level Small Mastery. The Mountain Splitting Saber Technique increased his progress by 154% in one go.

It was much more than the Life Nurturing Technique.

The stronger a cultivation technique was, the less percentage it could increase with attribute points. However, the effect would be even more obvious after the increase.

Han Zhao mobilized the blood qi in his body, and his arms began to heat up.

He rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arm had turned red.

Soon, two black patterns that were like mountain peaks appeared on his arms.

"The second Blood Qi Breakthrough of the Blood Tempering Realm is nothing much."

Han Zhao adapted to the changes in his body, and his blood qi doubled again.

In terms of total blood qi, he was also one of the top few people at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough stage.

When one's total blood qi reached this level, they would usually hurry up and transform all their blood qi into the Blood Imprint. Then, they would use the Blood Imprint to increase their total Internal Force before trying to grasp it.

Once he successfully broke through and advanced to the Force Tempering Martial Master Realm, he would be able to cross ranks in one go.

"I'm still a long way from breaking through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough. I'm afraid I'll have to reach the perfected stage."

Looking at the remaining three attribute points, Han Zhao did not continue to add them to the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.

As for the Life Nurturing Technique, it would not change after 3 points.

"I can improve the Vajra Technique."

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable)

Han Zhao found the Vajra Technique that had just completed the foundation in the last column of the martial arts column and muttered, "Upgrade the Vajra Technique."

[Attribute Points: 3 0]

Pain instantly filled Han Zhao's entire body. He once again experienced the pain that was worse than death.

"Hiss ~!" He gritted his teeth and did not scream.

Fortunately, this pain only lasted for a moment before it quickly disappeared.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Small Mastery 15%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 1)

"Good lord, it's so difficult to improve!"

Han Zhao looked at the Vajra Technique that had become Small Mastery in his attribute pane and couldn't help but frown.

Back then, the Life Nurturing Technique only used 1 attribute point to advance to the Small Mastery realm. This Vajra Technique used 3 points.

Of course, the harder it was to improve, the stronger the cultivation method.

For the time being, he did not feel any major changes in his body. However, he only needed to spend some time cultivating his foundation and aptitude. Through the comparison of progress, he would know how much it had improved.

...

Five days later.

In the afternoon.

Mountain Shaking Fist Academy.

The courtyard that originally could accommodate 50 to 60 people was already surrounded by three layers.

Other than the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy apprentices in black training clothes, there were also martial artists in gray, white, and green training clothes.

After Zhang Tianwen broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, a few martial arts schools that taught weapons gathered together again.

This was the tradition of the Martial Master Alliance, but it was not mandatory.

Previously, when Zhao Yuantu broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, it was only a private exchange between a few martial arts schools that taught martial arts. It was not as grand as the last time when Meng Zhi broke through and made everyone in Blackrock City know.

This time, when Zhang Tianwen broke through, the three martial arts schools, the Overlord Spear, the Flying Cloud Saber, and the Shenmu Sword, all sent disciples at the first Blood Qi Breakthrough realm to communicate with the Mountain Splitting Saber.

Martial artists who practiced weapons were naturally stronger than those who practiced fists and feet at the same level.

Therefore, such exchange also attracted the apprentices of the various martial arts schools to come and observe.

At this moment, Han Zhao was standing in the field in a blue suit.

Clang!

He slashed out with his saber and deflected the long sword of the green-robed girl in front of him. The long saber followed the momentum and fell. Then, he raised it from the bottom and sent the other short sword in the green-robed girl's hand flying. The saber was placed in front of the girl's neck.

Han Zhao sheathed his saber and cupped his fists. "Thank you for letting me win."

"Thank you for showing mercy, Senior Brother Han."

The girl in green blushed and looked at Han Zhao eagerly.

"Please." Han Zhao's expression was calm as he gestured for her to leave.

The girl in green bit her lips and stomped her feet coquettishly before running out of the arena.

Her fellow disciples were envious, but they had already been defeated by Han Zhao and could not go on stage again.

Lu Yi looked at Han Zhao with a smile. Although this kid usually liked to play tricks, he did not break his promise.

He had single-handedly challenged seven to eight disciples from three martial arts schools. No one in Blackrock City could compare to his battle results at the Bone Tempering Realm.

Seeing Han Zhao use his saber was simply 'pleasing to the eye'. It really gave him a lot of face.

"Junior Brother Han's saber technique is indeed exquisite. It makes me tempted. Why don't I spar with you?"

At this moment, an ordinary-looking and muscular white-clothed young man walked into the field and took out two pieces of steel short spears that could be combined from his back.

This person was the representative of the Overlord Fist Academy, Meng Zhi, who had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm before the age of 20.

Because of Han Zhao's outstanding performance, the expressions of his fellow disciples and brothers changed.

"Isn't this bullying?!"

Someone immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Meng Zhi smiled faintly. "Junior Brother Han, don't be afraid. I'll only use the strength of the Bone Tempering Realm to fight you. I won't bully you."

Even without mobilizing his blood qi, just the basic strength of the Blood Tempering Realm was much stronger than the Bone Tempering Realm.

Of course, during the previous competition, Han Zhao was very careful from the beginning to the end, afraid that he would hurt someone if he used too much strength.

Now that Meng Zhi had appeared, it gave him a chance to leave.

It would be impolite to continue winning.

"Senior Brother Meng, please enlighten me." Han Zhao smiled.

"Be careful!" After Meng Zhi sheathed his spear, he pounced forward and stabbed.

Clang, clang, clang!!

Han Zhao waved the saber in his hand airtight as if it had formed a saber net in front of him, blocking all of Meng Zhi's moves.

"Senior Brother Han is mighty!"

"That's amazing! "

Before the disciples of the martial arts school could say anything, the female disciples of the other martial arts schools cheered for Han Zhao.

"Junior Brother Han!!!" Seeing this, Xu Ling gathered her hands and shouted at the top of her lungs, suppressing the voices of the female disciples.

Han Zhao was also stunned by her sudden shout.

Swoosh!

There was a sharp sound of air being torn apart. Meng Zhi suddenly accelerated and stabbed his spear at Han Zhao's face.

As a genius disciple at the Blood Tempering Realm, he actually could not defeat Han Zhao with the strength of the same realm. This made him feel embarrassed, so he ignored the agreement just now and used a portion of his blood qi.

Clang!

When Han Zhao saw the momentum of his spear, he knew that the time had come. Immediately, he slashed at Meng Zhen's spear tip, and the spear tip brushed past him.

Han Zhao also used the recoil to fly back. He naturally spread his arms and assumed the posture of a roc spreading its wings. The tip of his right foot gently tapped the ground, and his body floated seven to eight meters back.

"Clang!"

The moment he landed, Han Zhao carried the saber in his hand behind his back according to inertia. The scabbard tilted and he completed the saber sheath on his back. His body landed steadily beside Xu Ling.

"Junior Brother Han is so handsome… His movement technique!"

County Magistrate Wu Di's daughter, Wu Shuang, exclaimed. However, her eyes were fixed on Han Zhao's face.

Although the strong were respected in this world, if someone was as handsome as Junior Brother Han, it was acceptable that his strength was lower.

Moreover, her father was the strongest person in the city, and her brother was also a third Blood Qi Breakthrough expert, so martial strength was secondary to her.

This Junior Martial Brother Han had even lost so gracefully. It was really charming.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Meng." Han Zhao cupped his fists and bowed to Meng Zhi.

"It's good that I didn't hurt Junior Brother Han." Meng Zhi's expression was a little ugly. He had clearly won, but looking at the expressions of the surrounding people, it was as if he had lost.

"You said that you would only use the strength of the Bone Tempering Realm.

Junior Brother Meng, you went back on your word, right?"

Zhao Yuantu, who was standing beside Lu Yi, walked into the field.

"It was an accident. I just didn't expect Junior Brother Han to be so weak." Meng Zhi's expression darkened slightly. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you fight me, Senior Brother Zhao? It should be fair, right?"

"This… alright!" Zhao Yuantu took out a black gold boxing glove and put it on.

As Zhang Tianwen had run off somewhere, Lu Yi called Zhao Yuantu over to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

"Junior Brother Meng, be careful." Zhao Yuantu cupped his fists and attacked.

"Alright!" Meng Zhi laughed loudly. The blood qi in his entire body surged, and the arms exposed by his white short-sleeved clothes turned black. He used his full strength the moment he came up. "Take this move! Overlord Lifting Cauldron!"

The spear fell with lightning speed.

Zhao Yuantu originally thought that it was just a spar. He did not expect Meng Zhi to suddenly do this. At this moment, it was already too late for him to use his full strength.

He could only punch with all his might to receive this attack.

Bam!

Zhao Yuantu took three steps back before barely stabilizing himself. His arms could not help but tremble.

His fists were wrapped in black gold gloves, and one could see that they were black and red.

Meng Zhi stomped his spear on the ground, creating a small pit on the stone slab. Then, he cupped his fists and smiled. He said proudly, "Senior Brother Zhao, thank you for letting me win!"

Lu Yi frowned. He did not expect Meng Zhi to have such a bad temperament even though he was talented.

It was understandable that the young man was competitive, but it was really unbearable to play tricks in such a sparring match.

However, a loss was a loss. As a dignified Martial Master, it was impossible for him to personally participate.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi couldn't help but glance at Han Zhao. With this kid's saber talent, if he broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, it shouldn't be difficult for him to defeat Meng Zhi.

"Master Lu?" Han Zhao saw Lu Yi staring at him and winked at him. He had fulfilled his promise without discounting.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yi was both angry and amused. He turned to look at

Zhao Yuantu. "Long journey, are you alright?"

Zhao Yuantu shook his head at Lu Yi. He calmed the surging blood qi in his body and was about to attack again.

At this moment, Zhang Tianwen, who had not appeared, suddenly walked in from the entrance. Behind him were Xu Jin, Fang Hongyun, and the others.

"Junior Brother Meng, let me spar with you."

Clang!

Zhang Tianwen jumped down from the steps, pulled out the long saber at his waist, and attacked Meng Zhi.

"Good timing!" Meng Zhi pulled out his spear and welcomed the attack..

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two of them moved around in the field, dazzling everyone.

"Good!"

"Senior Brother Zhang is mighty!"

"Good job, Senior Brother Zhang!"

Seeing that Zhang Tianwen was not at a disadvantage against Meng Zhi, who had defeated Zhao Yuantu in one move, everyone in the field cheered.

Han Zhao shook his head and laughed. The two of them were putting on a show!

"Eldest Senior Brother, how is it?" Han Zhao walked to Zhao Yuantu's side and asked about the situation.

"It's nothing serious. Don't be rash." Zhao Yuantu took off his boxing gloves and exercised his bruised joints.

Han Zhao nodded and glanced at Meng Zhi in the field without saying anything.

Clang!

With a loud sound of metal colliding, the two people in the field separated. "Senior Brother Zhang, your saber technique is good. I'm not as good as you."

"Junior Brother Meng's spear technique is still better."

"Why don't we call it a draw?"

"Alright! It's a draw!"

The two of them looked like heroes praising each other.

Cheers came from the field again.

At this moment, Zhang Tianwen came to Lu Yi and cupped his fists. "Teacher Lu."

"Not bad." Lu Yi nodded. Although he had obviously seen through their tricks, he could not expose them. Otherwise, he would be slapping himself in the face.

"Teacher Lu, I have a request!"

"Go ahead."

"I've always been in love with Junior Sister Xu. Master Lu, please help me go to the Xu family to matchmake!" Zhang Tianwen was beaming.

As he spoke, he glanced at Han Zhao with a provocative expression.

"This…" Lu Yi was stunned. He could see the signs of Han Zhao and Xu Ling, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

"Zhang Tianwen! Don't even think about it!" Xu Ling frowned.

"Third Sister! You've gone overboard with your words. Don't tell me Father and I can't decide your marriage?!"

Xu Jin walked forward and put on the airs of an elder brother.

"Junior Sister Xu, isn't it obvious at a glance how to choose? Senior Brother Zhang is a young elite. He's not something some people with looks can compare to. If he's good-looking, he'll at most be a gigolo and not be presentable."

Meng Zhi echoed and stared at Han Zhao meaningfully.

"What did you say?!" Zhao Yuantu was furious and was about to step forward.

Han Zhao pulled him back. "Eldest Senior Brother, forget it."

As he spoke, Han Zhao walked to Xu Ling's side and held her hand. He scratched her palm, indicating for her not to be agitated.

"Enough!" Lu Yi suddenly stood up. "Today is only a martial arts school sparring. This is not a market!"

Seeing Lu Yi's sullen expression, Zhang Tianwen hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm just mentioning it first. Everyone, stop arguing. I'm happy today. Let's go drink! My treat!" "That's great!"

"Let's go drink!"

Zhang Tianwen escorted them out of the courtyard.

The disciples of the other martial arts schools cupped their fists at Lu Yi and left one after another.

Han Zhao's expression was calm.

Lu Yi walked forward and patted his shoulder, comforting him. "Practice well.

We'll talk about it when you break through to the Blood Tempering Realm."

Although Zhang Tianwen had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm, his temperament and comprehension were not good. Lu Yi had never thought highly of him. Moreover, when he checked a few days ago, he felt that Zhang Tianwen's blood qi was a little strange.

If Zhang Tianwen became a Force Tempering Martial Master one day, he might not be able to enjoy life as his master. Instead, he would suffer.

"I'll work hard, Master."

Han Zhao smiled. After bidding farewell to Lu Yi, he held Xu Ling's hand and walked out of the martial arts school.

The night was dark and windy.

Drunken Moon Pavilion.

The entire private room on the second floor was booked.

In the largest private room in the middle, Zhang Tianwen was surrounded by everyone.

His face was red as he held a beautiful woman in his arms and raised his wine glass high. "Drink! Drink to your heart's content! Those who came in sober today must leave drunk! Otherwise, you won't be giving me face!"

Zhang Tianwen was in high spirits. He felt that the depression in his chest that had accumulated over the past few years had been swept away.

At this moment, he had already reached the peak of his life!

Breaking through to the Blood Tempering Realm was only the beginning. He had already imagined himself becoming a Force Tempering Martial Master and dominating Blackrock City with Meng Zhi.

Those who had a grudge against him in the past could forget about living a good life.

"I… I… can't take it anymore! Burp- I have to go to the… relieve myself." The young man near the door burped and spoke with his tongue hanging out. When he walked out of the private room, his right leg was a little limping. It was unknown if he had drunk too much or if there was something wrong with his leg.

"Fang Hongyun, you are really a coward! You can't do this!" Xu Jin laughed loudly.

Thump!

As soon as Xu Jin finished speaking, Fang Hongyun tripped over the threshold and fell to the corridor. When a few dancers went forward to help him up, they realized that he had already fallen asleep.

"Hurry up and carry him into the room. Leave someone to take care of him. Don't wet your pants!" Meng Zhi waved his hand in disdain, causing everyone to laugh.

"I'm going to relieve myself too. No one is allowed to leave. Wait for me to come back and drink!"

Zhang Tianwen put down his wine glass. Although he had drunk a lot, the blood qi of a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist was far stronger than that of a Bone Tempering Realm martial artist. Therefore, he was only a little tipsy at this moment.

"Let's go together." Meng Zhi stood up. He was not interested in drinking. He just wanted to find a reason to leave the private room so that he could find his lover, Miss Hong Ying, later.

"Brother Meng, don't even think about escaping!" Zhang Tianwen grabbed Meng Zhi's sleeve.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Meng, don't fall into the toilet together."

"That's right!"

The others joined in.

"I'll deal with you when I come back!" Zhang Tianwen said ruthlessly and pulled Meng Zhi downstairs.

The two of them walked to the back door of the Drunken Moon Pavilion and entered an empty narrow alley.

"Move out. I can't pee if you're too close." Zhang Tianwen walked to the middle of the alley. As he took off his pants, he asked Meng Zhi, who was standing beside him, to stay away.

"Alright, alright, alright." Meng Zhi lifted his pants that he had taken off halfway. Just as he raised his foot, he felt dust fall from above. He subconsciously looked up—

A masked man in black was spreading his arms and legs. His body was in a spreadeagle position as he propped himself against the walls on both sides of the alley.

At this moment, the black-clothed masked man loosened his hands and feet. His body fell from the sky, and his palms, which carried a sharp wind, struck Zhang Tianwen's head with the force of a mountain.

"Zhang Tianwen! Be careful!" Meng Zhi's body shook violently, and his slightly tipsy mind instantly sobered up. As he shouted a warning, he quickly retreated. Zhang Tianwen looked up and was shocked. He circulated all his strength and punched out.

As soon as the fist and palm collided, the outcome was obvious.

With a crack, the bones in Zhang Tianwen's right arm broke. The bones of his forearm were pierced through the elbow joint by a huge force. He knelt on the ground and let out a neaven-snalqng scream.

A bone-cracking sound rang out, and Zhang Tianwen's scream stopped abruptly. The head on his neck had already disappeared, and it was actually forcefully slapped into his chest by the domineering palm force.

Thump!

Zhang Tianwen's corpse fell to the ground. He was deader than dead.

"Who is it?!!" Meng Zhi felt his scalp tingle as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head in winter.

He didn't even have the courage to fight back. He ran out of the alley. "Murder!

Murder! "

Tap, tap, tap!

Han Zhao quickly caught up to Meng Zhi, who was about to run out of the alley, and reached out with both palms.

"Ah!" Meng Zhi felt the strong wind behind him and knew that he would die if he did not run out of the alley. He roared angrily and pulled out the half a short spear on his waist. He turned around to block.

Han Zhao slapped his right palm and deflected the short spear that was stabbing at his face. He suddenly pushed out his left palm.

At the critical moment of life and death, Meng Zhi exerted all his strength and held the spear shaft horizontally in front of him, his left arm protecting his heart.

Bam!

A piercing pain came from his arm and chest. Meng Zhi's arm was broken, and his sternum was dented as he flew out of the alley.

"Pfft!"

He fell heavily onto the street and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His head tilted and he stopped breathing.

Clang! Half of the short spear rolled down beside him. The steel spear was actually a little bent.

Hearing the commotion on the street and the rapidly approaching footsteps,

Han Zhao jumped onto the top of the wall and disappeared into the night..

Chapter 71: Unlimited Growth Trait [Late Bloomer]

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After his figure completely blended into the night, Han Zhao quickly rushed home.

"Creak!

After pushing open the door of the central room, he took off his night clothes and placed them in a copper basin, preparing to burn them.

Hearing the commotion, Yu Niang, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and supported herself with her arm on the wooden bed. She propped up her upper body and looked at Han Zhao. "Brother Han?" li lt's fine. Go to sleep," Han Zhao said softly.

"Oh," Yu Niang replied and lay down again. Soon, she fell asleep again.

Han Zhao sat on the bench, his night clothes burning in the copper basin. The bright yellow flames illuminated half of his face until it was red. A smile appeared on his face.

[The proficiency of the Barehanded Martial Saint has increased. The palm technique aptitude has increased by five times. The fist technique, leg technique, finger technique, and claw technique aptitude have increased by four times…]

Martial Arts: Yin Fiend Palm (First Level Small Mastery 1%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Poison Avoidance Level 1)

In order to disguise himself perfectly, he had only used his palm technique to fight the enemy tonight. He did not expect to break through just like that.

The proficiency of the [Barehanded Martial Saint] Trait had increased, and the Yin Fiend Palm had also increased to the Small Mastery stage.

This Yin Fiend Palm that was born from the Hundred Poison Palm could actually obtain the Poison Avoidance special effect without using poison to assist in cultivation.

Didn't this mean that if he continued to cultivate, he really had a chance of obtaining a body that was immune to poison?

Hiding poison in his blood was ultimately a heretical move. Back then, Han

Zhao was a little tempted because he didn't have the capital.

Now, he did not fancy the Hundred Poison Palm at all.

However, the body that was immune to poison was indeed tempting.

The stronger a martial artist's blood qi was, the less afraid they were of poison. However, there were still precious poisons that could poison high-level martial artists.

He did not have to learn poison techniques, but he had to know how to avoid getting poisoned.

Furthermore, the black membrane of some descendants of aristocratic families would also be poisonous. It was necessary to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm.

"Tonight, I only used the Mountain Splitting Force to activate the First Level Yin Fiend Palm and easily killed Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi. Although there was a sneak attack, martial artists with powerful blood qi are indeed terrifying.

Han Zhao sighed in his mind.

After his external cultivation broke through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough, this was the first time he had used all his strength.

He basically did not use any moves. He completely relied on the Mountain Splitting Force and brute force to kill Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi.

Lu Yi had said that although the Mountain Splitting Force looked like an explosive Internal Force, it was actually focused on continuously advancing explosive Internal Force. The Yin Fiend Palm was more feminine. It seemed to be two martial arts techniques with opposite styles, but in fact, they were quite harmonious when used.

"I wonder if I can defeat a Force Tempering Martial Master without using the Sword Drawing Technique."

Han Zhao pondered.

In the simulation, he had also killed a Force Tempering Martial Master, but that was either mutual destruction or he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

He did not want such a thing to happen in reality.

Killing Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi tonight would definitely cause a huge earthquake in Blackrock City.

Just killing people in the inner city was not an ordinary matter.

Furthermore, they were two geniuses at the Blood Tempering Realm.

Especially Meng Zhi, who had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm before the age of 20. He was also a disciple of one of the five great families in Blackrock City. The Meng familys Force Tempering Martial Master would definitely not let the matter rest.

Still…

So what?

If Han Zhao was given ten more chances to choose, as long as these two people gave him the slightest chance tonight, he would make a move.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Moreover, to instantly kill two Blood Tempering Realm martial artists, one had to be at least at the top Blood Tempering Realm with perfected third Blood Qi Breakthrough. There was a high chance that one had to be a Force Tempering Martial Master.

What did it have to do with him, a little transparent person at the Bone Tempering Realm?

This time, not only did he wear a night suit, but he also changed his appearance and his palm deliberately increased in size.

"Since I've already taken action, I have to resolve the matter of the Flying Dragon Stockade as soon as possible."

"As long as I reforge the saber and sword, my combat strength will definitely rise to another level. A Force Tempering Martial Master is nothing special."

Originally, Han Zhao was prepared to wait and save ten consecutive draws. However, since he had already taken action today, it was not wise to save the simulation.

Let's simulate it first and resolve the trouble together.

[Collected 78 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 40 Notification Fragments and 30 taels of gold.]

[You will definitely obtain a one-time Basic Trait, Life Simulation. The probability of obtaining a White Trait will increase by 8%. The probability of obtaining a Green Trait will increase by 6%. The probability of obtaining a Blue Trait will increase by 5 0/0. The probability of obtaining a Purple Trait will increase by 4%. The probability of obtaining an Orange Trait will increase by 3%. The probability of obtaining a Red Trait will increase by 1%.]

As his external cultivation broke through, the price of the simulation increased again.

However, it was still within his acceptable range.

Thinking of this, Han Zhao stood up and came to the short table against the wall.

Looking at the two memorial tablets placed on it, he lit six incense sticks and inserted them separately. He muttered in his heart,

"Dad, Big Brother, please bless me with a good Trait! If I rise one day, I will definitely avenge you. If there are reincarnations in this world, or if people can become immortals and ancestors, I will definitely let you enjoy endless wealth for generations to come!"

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

Before the simulation began, Han Zhao chanted in his heart, "Find Anomaly, find Anomaly."

[19 years old. You killed Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi and caused a huge commotion in Blackrock City. You were interrogated, but you easily escaped suspicion.]

[For the next three months, you stayed in the city to cultivate steadily on the surface, but you often disguised yourself and left the city.]

[The Flying Dragon Stockade was silent. They didn't even send anyone to collect Edge Sharpening Manor's silver.]

[Seeing that there's no chance, you're not in a hurry. You cultivated patiently in the city.]

[After another three months, Zhu Kangsheng sent you the news that Qi Xing had appeared in Nine Links Town.]

[In the next period of time, you often disguise yourself and go to Nine Links Town to scout.]

[After ten days of waiting, you've finally waited for Qi Xing to go out.]

[Just as you launched a surprise attack on Qi Xing, another Blood Tempering Realm martial artist appeared with many Bone Tempering Realm martial artists.]

[You fought ten enemies alone and wiped out the enemies.]

[You brought Qi Xing's head to Zhu Kangsheng. He began to reforge your saber and sword.]

[Three months later, Zhu Kang.sheng informed you to go to Edge Sharpening Manor. He used 'Sacrificial Refinement' and jumped into the furnace fire. When the saber and sword were forged, they produced spirituality at the same time.]

[You left the Edge Sharpening Manor and on the way back, you were attacked by a Force Tempering Martial Master. You attacked with your saber and sword and forced him back.]

[A year later, you went 150 kilometers away from Jade Wind City and found a manor called the Divine Sword Manor. You encountered the Anomaly.]

[In the battle, a Force Tempering Martial Master with strange movement techniques appeared with a group of martial artists. They claimed to be from the Longevity Sect and attacked you with the Fiendish Corpse.]

[You took out your saber and sword at the same time and killed them all.]

[When you left the Anomaly, you were attacked by a demon. You resisted with all your might and only severed one of the demon's arms.]

[The demon captured you alive and became interested in you. He forcefully injected the demon blood into your body. Your Blood Spirit Policy broke through on the spot and your blood qi increased greatly.]

[However, in the days that followed, your mental state gradually became abnormal. You often had the urge to kill.]

[A year later, you died at the hands of the descendants of aristocratic families.]

[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]

[1: Obtain Trait (Selectable)]

[2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.] [Current Balance: 270 taels of gold]

Han Zhao muttered, "One."

[Obtained Trait: 'Late Bloomer'.]

Late Bloomer: Blue Trait, aptitude increases with age (Basic aptitude is amplified when you reach 20 years old, 200 years old, 2,000 years old, and so on… No growth limit.)

"Amplification in basic aptitude? Unlimited growth?!

"Holy sh*t!"

Han Zhao looked at the Trait effect and suddenly widened his eyes.

He kowtowed a few times to Han Lin and Han Cheng on the spot.

"Thank you, Father. Thank you, Big Brother."

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Niang, who heard the commotion, was woken up. She sat up in shock.

Looking at Han Zhao, who was kowtowing to the memorial tablet in the middle of the night without sleeping, she was a little stunned.

"Brother Han is so filial!"

Thinking of this, Yu Niang lay back on the bed and thought of her parents who had passed away for an unknown period of time. Her eyes gradually moistened..

In the inner city.

The mansion in the center of the Yonghe District was where the county office of Blackrock City was located.

At this moment, the night was dark, but the entrance of the county office was still brightly lit. A stone lion nearly three meters tall stood majestically on both sides of the vermilion door. Two armored soldiers stood on both sides, their bodies standing like javelins.

Generally speaking, county magistrates could not raise private soldiers. At most, the guards guarding the county office were bailiffs.

Control of a county's military was the power of a county lieutenant.

However, martial strength reigned supreme in this world. As the strongest expert in Blackrock City, County Magistrate Wu Di was comparable to a local emperor in the vicinity.

The county lieutenant of the county office was Wu Di l s eldest son, Wu Bi, who had broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough at the age of 30.

In addition, the chief constable of the county office, Wu Feiyi, was also a disciple of the Wu family.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Di would not stay in the county office permanently. The person in charge was Wu Bi.

At this moment, Wu Feiyi, the usually steady chief constable of the county office, rushed into the county office without waiting for a report.

"YOung Master! Bad news!"

"Young Master! Something happened!"

Wu Feiyi ran to the backyard of the county office and shouted.

"Huh?!" In the bedroom of the main house, Wu Bi was sleeping soundly with his sixteen-year-old concubine in his arms. He was woken up from his dream by this sudden shout. li lt's Feiyi i s voice? Something happened!" Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Bi l s expression changed.

With Wu Feiyi's usually steady personality, for him to enter the residence late at night and shout like this, something big must have happened.

Wu Bi sat up from the bed and suddenly lifted the blanket. After putting on his shoes, he picked up the coat hanging on the rack and walked out.

"Creak! 'I

Wu Bi opened the door and looked at the anxious Wu Feiyi in the courtyard. He went forvvard and said, "Feiyi, what happened?"

"Young Master, Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi have been killed! Theyre in the alley at the back door of the Drunken Moon Pavilion."

Wu Feiyi lowered his voice.

"Two Blood Tempering Realm martial artists were killed in the inner city?! I ' Wu Bi l s pupils constricted. This was no small matter.

Zhang Tianwen broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 22. He could be considered a genius, but it was not an exaggeration.

However, Meng Zhi was different.

A Blood Tempering Realm cultivator who was not even 20 years old had learned the most difficult spear technique. Even in the prefecture capital's martial academy, he could be considered outstanding.

Most importantly, the Meng family was one of the five great families. On the surface, there was a Force Tempering Martial Master, but in the early years, there was another Martial Master who went to the prefecture capital to develop.

Such a situation was common in their large family clans. Their Wu family also had people in the prefecture capital. Wu Bi had also traveled in the prefecture capital during his early years.

Including the Martial Masters of the Martial Master Academy, many of them came from the prefecture's Martial Academy.

Zhang Tianwen had just broken through in the past few days. Meng Zhi had broken through less than three months ago.

Two geniuses who had just broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm had died in the inner city. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like an enemy family had killed the genius.

Such a thing had happened in the early years, but later on, everyone did it, nearly crippling Blackrock City.

In the end, all the Martial Masters in the city agreed that all Martial Masters were not allowed to attack in the inner city, nor were they allowed to attack Blood Tempering Realm martial artists.

"What's the exact situation?!" Wu Bi asked.

"I'm not too sure either. I heard that Meng Zhi was sent flying to the street and died on the spot! Zhang Tianwen even lost his head. He was killed in a few moves!" Wu Feiyi explained, "Now, the head of the Zhang family and the

Martial Master of the Meng family have brought the corpses to look for Eldest Master."

"Follow me to my father's place!" Wu Bi quickly walked out of the county office.

Wu Feiyi followed closely behind.

When the two of them rushed from Yonghe District to the Wu family's mansion in Anye District, they saw a circle of people standing around the front courtyard. All of them were holding lanterns that illuminated the courtyard.

In the empty space in the middle of the courtyard, there were two stretchers covered with white cloth. Blood had already soaked a large portion of the white cloth.

Just by looking at the blood loss, it was obvious that he was dead.

"Young Master!

The Wu family disciples in the courtyard bowed one after another.

Wu Bi found a hunchbacked old man and asked in a deep voice, "Steward Wu, where's my father?"

"Master went to the study with the heads of the Zhang family and the Meng family." Steward Wu replied.

Wu Bi walked forward and lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher on the

Meng Zhi's eyes were wide open, and his face was ferocious with unwillingness. His left arm was twisted and deformed, and the clothes on his chest had been torn open, revealing his dented chest.

Wu Bi looked at Meng Zhi's chest and the steel short spear that was slightly bent from the beating. His expression could not help but change.

"It looks like he used a short spear to block it, but he didn't manage to block it.

The huge force broke his left arm, ribs, and internal organs. He died. This power can only be Internal Force!

Through Meng Zhi's death, Wu Bi roughly guessed what Meng Zhi looked like before he died.

"Hiss

"What a terrifying palm force?!

Wu Bi lifted the white cloth on the stretcher on the right and immediately gasped. It was not because of Zhang Tianwen i s tragic death, but because of the palm print on the top of his head.

A Force Tempering Martial Master who ignored the rules and did not care about martial ethics was a disaster for Blackrock City.

Even he would not dare to say that he would definitely be fine if he was ambushed by a Force Tempering Martial Master.

"The only people in the nearby generation who have such terrifying palm power are the Li Familys Patriarch, Li Fenglei, and the Chen Family Fort's Fort Master, Chen Xuan. However, they shouldn't have attacked these two people…

Wu Bi covered the white cloth with a solemn expression.

"Second Brother Wu, if you don't give our Meng family a satisfactory explanation, I wont let you off! Don't blame me for not following the rules when the time comes!"

A robust old man with muscles all over his body walked out from the backyard. He waved angrily at the Meng family disciples in the courtyard and strode out of the Wu residence.

This person was the Force Tempering Martial Master of the Meng family, Meng Jue. Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to call him Wu Di.

Immediately after, a potbellied middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out. He looked a little dispirited. It was the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Shuangquan.

His eldest son was crippled, and his second son had just broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm. It was only the fifth day today, but he had been killed for no reason.

The other children were not talented. Even if they spent another 20 years, they would not be able to reach the Blood Tempering Realm. They would probably not be able to nurture them in time even if they gave birth again.

Why was this happening?

After the Zhang family and Meng family disciples left, Wu Bi rushed to the study.

The next day, Han Zhao woke up early to cultivate the Life Nurturing Technique as usual and train his stamina.

"It's about time." After calculating the time, Han Zhao left home and rushed towards Yejiang District.

As soon as he entered the martial arts school, he saw the apprentices gathered in the outer courtyard. It was noisy, and no one was practicing martial arts.

As usual, the recliner was placed in the corridor between the inner and outer courtyards. 'l'nere was a large nandtul ot melon seeds on tne wooden snelt beside it, but Lu Yi was not around.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Zhang is dead! And that Meng Zhi too!"

"F*ck! You don't know, Senior Brother Zhangs head was sent flying by someone!"

"Too terrifying! It seems to be done by a Force Tempering Martial Master. He was killed in one move!"

"I know. I heard that Senior Brother Zhang and Meng Zhi committed adultery with the concubine of a Force Tempering Martial Master and were caught on the spot."

"If you ask me, I'll die!"

"That's right. You usually have eyes as big as the sky. Serves you right!" "What nonsense are you talking about? Senior Brother Zhang…

Han Zhao walked forward, and a few apprentices who usually had a good relationship with him walked up.

"Senior Brother Han, have you heard? Senior Brother Zhang is dead!"

"What? Zhang Tianwen is dead?!" Han Zhao looked shocked, but he did not show any sadness.

His relationship with Zhang Tianwen was average. The apprentices in the martial arts school basically knew about it.

Among the apprentices present, some were indifferent, some were crying like cats, and some were secretly pleased.

After a while, a few bailiffs arrived at the martial arts school and shouted, "Han Zhao, Zhu Kang, Si Jing, and Gou Chengli, are these four here?"

"I'm Han Zhao." Han Zhao walked forward.

The other three also walked out of the crowd.

"Come with us to the county office for a routine inquiry." The bailiff nodded and gestured for the four of them to leave with them.

Han Zhao and the others arrived at the inner courtyard of the county office. Lu

Yi was sitting on a chair in the courtyard.

"Master Lu." Han Zhao and the other three went forward and bowed. "Yes." Lu Yi nodded. "Don't be nervous. Just go in and tell the truth."

"Yes," the four of them replied at the same time.

Soon, Xu Ling, Su Yun, and Li Fei walked out of the study.

Then, it was Han Zhao and the others' turn.

After the four of them entered, they saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting upright in an armchair. His appearance was ordinary and could even be said to be a little wretched. He was probably less than 1.7 meters tall and his figure was not strong.

[Wu Di—Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. Internal Force covers the entire body and begins to fuse with the five internal organs. It's in the high-speed improvement stage.]

Just based on the stereotype, he looked like a shrewd businessman or an advisor who advised the county magistrate, not the number one expert of Blackrock City.

"One by one."

Wu Di l s energetic voice sounded. He reached out and pointed at one of them.

Soon, after the three people in front finished asking, Wu Di waved his hand and gestured for them to leave first.

After the three of them left, Wu Di said, "You're Han Zhao?" "I'm Han Zhao." Han Zhao cupped his fists.

"You're not bad," Wu Di suddenly said without rhyme or reason.

Han Zhao looked "confused".

"A certain lord asked me to take care of you."

Wu Di hinted.

Han Zhao's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately relaxed.

With the Ji familys strength, this was nothing.

Moreover, the strength he displayed in front of Ji Zhuling was only at the ordinary Blood Tempering Realm. She probably couldn't be bothered to mention it.

"Thank you." Seeing his attitude, Han Zhao did not point it out. "Go." Wu Di smiled gently, indicating that he could leave.

"I'll take my leave."

After leaving the county office, Han Zhao went straight home.

As he walked, he checked the system interface.

[40 Notification Fragments have been collected. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 40 Notification Fragments and 30 taels of gold.]

The first effect of [Late Bloomer]'s Trait was at 20 years old, and he would be 20 years old in three months.

If his aptitude doubled, he would no longer have a low-grade trash foundation in reality.

With a decent aptitude, his cultivation speed would be much faster.

At that time, he could use the Vajra Technique to increase his basic aptitude. It would be much easier in the simulation. Otherwise, it would be useless even if he died.

In theory, the foundation that he had improved after birth should be considered the basic aptitude, right?

As long as the Vajra Technique could raise one's foundation to an intermediate level, it should be enough after the Trait's amplification.

He vvas already satisfied with the standard of ordinary geniuses.

After all, no matter how good his foundation was, he had to rely on his own 'hard work'.

"After killing Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi, there's still half a year of buffer time. I don't have to rush to kill Qi Xing."

"I'll add some points first!"

Chapter 73: Aptitude Improvement! Lifespan Doubles!

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios

The murder of Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi in the inner city caused a huge commotion in Blackrock City.

Under pressure, the Wu family conducted a screening of the entire Blackrock

City. Even the Li familys head, Li Fenglei, and the Chen Family Fort's Fort Lord, Chen Xuan, personally went to the county office to cooperate with the investigation.

Some other Martial Masters who did not cultivate palm techniques and Force Tempering also went to the county office in order to prove their innocence.

Even the Zhang family and the Meng family alone did not have such a huge influence. The main reason was that the nature of the incident was too vile.

For a moment, it made the Blood Tempering Realm martial artists in the city jittery. They did not dare to run around at night.

Unfortunately, the 'murderer' was cultivating diligently every day under everyone's watchful eyes.

Just like that, nearly three months passed quickly.

Although the Zhang and Meng families still insisted on investigating, everyone knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the lower the chances of finding the murderer.

That evening, Han Zhao returned home.

Martial Arts:

Life Nurturing Technique (Third Level Greater Mastery 8%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Body Strengthening Level 7, Pure Yang Level 2, Life Extension

100 years)

Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique (First Level Perfection 100%, Can Deduce;

Special Effect: Yin-Yang Harmony Level 3)

Spirit Concealment Technique (First Level Perfection 100%, Can Deduce;

Special Effect: Spirit Concealment Level 2)

Yin Fiend Palm (Second Level Greater Mastery 56%, Upgradeable; Special

Effect: Poison Avoidance Level 2)

Vajra Technique (First Level Small Mastery 15%, Upgradeable; Special Effect:

Tendon Stretching Level 1)

Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Greater Mastery 8%, Upgradeable)

"Tomorrow is the second day of October. It happens to be my 20th birthday, and it's also the time when the [Late Bloomer] Trait takes effect."

Han Zhao looked at his martial arts column and thought to himself.

In the past three months, he had stayed in the city and cultivated obediently. His various martial arts had improved significantly.

The progress of the Life Nurturing Technique increased from 2% to 8% of

Greater Mastery, increasing by 6%. On average, it increased by 2% a month.

After all, it was an upgraded version of the Life Nurturing Technique. The reason why he could have this speed was probably because the Vajra Technique had increased his aptitude. At the same time, he did not lack money and stuffed all kinds of fish and meat into his mouth every day.

The cultivation of the Spirit Concealment Technique was the fastest and obtained the effect of concealing one's aura.

The Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique had also been cultivated to the upper limit.

He didn't cultivate the Vajra Technique. It hurt too much.

As for other martial arts such as the Blood Spirit Policy, the Bone Shrinking Technique, and the Sword Nurturing Technique, he had cultivated them to the upper limit long ago.

Recently, he did not have the time to specially cultivate. It was probably not easy to break through.

As for adding points to deduce, it was not the turn of these martial arts for the time being.

[65 Notification Fragments have been gathered. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 40 Notification Fragments and 30 taels of gold…] "I'll add points to the Vajra Technique first and increase my aptitude."

'i l can change my train of thought for this simulation. Since the Anomaly has appeared in Blackrock City and Jade Wind City, there might be one in other cities. Let's look for it!"

Before the simulation began, Han Zhao kept hinting in his heart that he wanted to find the Anomaly.

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

19 years old. You killed Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi and cultivated in the city for three months.]

20 years old. Zhu Kangsheng sent you the news that Qi Xing had appeared in Nine Links Town.]

[A year later, you found an Anomaly in Tiannan Mountain outside Jiayuan

City.]

[You barged in and wanted to stimulate the Yin Fiend Palm to break through to the Third Level by absorbing Yin energy.]

[When you left the Anomaly, you encountered a demon and were captured.]

[The demon became interested in you and forcefully injected the demon blood into your body. Your Blood Spirit Policy broke through on the spot, and your blood qi increased greatly.]

[Half a year later, you were sent to Yuan Chang County by the demon and landed in the hands of the great demon, the Heaven Fiend King. He used your body to conduct various experiments on the fusion of demon blood and fiend blood.]

[The Heaven Fiend King told you that as long as you could survive the experiment, he would return your freedom. At the same time, he would teach you all the demonic techniques he cultivated, giving you a chance to step into the Divine Power Realm in the future.]

[A year later, you exploded and died during the Heaven Fiend Kings experiment.]

"Demons do 'scientific research', right?!"

Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao was stunned.

The content of the simulation this time basically did not change much, but there were some differences in time.

As he had already learned from the previous simulation that the Divine Sword Manor outside Jade Wind City was where the Anomalies were, he changed his train of thought and kept hinting that he should search for other Anomalies.

In the simulation, in order to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm, he did not disappoint and successfully found another Anomaly.

However, he died a tragic death in the simulation this time. He had been captured by the great demon for human experiments.

"One in Blackrock City, one in Jade Wind City, and one in Jiayuan City. Don't tell me there are Anomalies near every city?"

Han Zhao made a bold guess. [1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.] [Current Balance: 230 taels of gold]

"Option 2."

[Attribute Points 11]

"11 attribute points should be enough."

Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up a wooden stick, and bit it in his mouth.

"Improve the Vajra Technique to the Greater Mastery stage."

[Attribute Points: 11 -9 7]

In an instant, an indescribable pain filled Han Zhao's entire body. He felt as if his entire body had been crushed by a hydraulic press. All the bones and tendons in his body were in intense pain.

Crack!

The wooden stick in his mouth was crushed by Han Zhao.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a second.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Greater Mastery 15%, Upgradeable;

Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 2, Bone Forging Level 1)

"Upgrade the Life Nurturing Technique." After a while, Han Zhao decided to add the remaining attribute points to the Life Nurturing Technique.

According to the usual practice, he would break through the Life Nurturing Technique first to maximize his total blood qi. Then, he would obtain greater benefits after breaking through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.

[Attribute Points: 7 -9 0]

"Huh?" Han Zhao picked up another wooden stick and bit it in his mouth. In the end, he realized that it did not hurt when he broke through to the Life Nurturing Technique.

Instead, it felt extremely comfortable and addictive.

Martial Arts: Life Nurturing Technique (Third Level Perfection 7%,

Upgradeable; Special Effect: Body Strengthening Level 8, Pure Yang Level 3, Qi Seeding Level 1, Life Extension 200 years)

"My lifespan has doubled?!"

Looking at the transformed Life Nurturing Technique, Han Zhao was shocked.

Other than the first two special effects, there was also an additional special effect.

"Qi Seeding? What is this?"

He circulated his Life Nurturing True Qi and gathered his true qi in his palm.

The originally green and white Life Nurturing True Qi had already become green and white and began to transform into pure white.

A dense aura of life appeared. In the past, this aura existed, but it was not as dense.

It was unknown if it was an illusion, but this true qi seemed to have transformed from an inanimate object to a living creature.

"It's really developing towards nurturing life," Han Zhao muttered and began to feel the increased blood qi in his body.

His blood qi increased by 50% again!

Although martial artists could only obtain an obvious increase in blood qi when they broke through for the first time, after cultivating a few more cultivation methods and overlapping them to break through, the total increase in blood qi was not to be underestimated.

After tomorrow, after cultivating for another three months, he would be able to know the actual effect of the increase in aptitude through the comparison of cultivation progress.

After adapting to the increase in strength, he could go and deal with Qi Xing.

"With such powerful blood qi as support, my normal strength of one arm is close to 500 kilograms. Even a Force Tempering Martial Master who has just broken through is only so-so. The difference is that my Blood Imprint has not been completely transformed into Internal Force, and my usage technique is inferior to theirs."

"After the saber and sword are reforged, I wonder if it will be difficult to kill a Force Tempering Martial Master?"

"There's not much Yin energy left. I have to think of a way to farm the

Anomaly.."

Chapter 74: Don't You Have Talents to Show?

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios

"Brother Han, someone is looking for you."

Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about how to farm Anomaly to obtain Yin energy. Yu Niangs voice sounded in the courtyard.

'Coming." Han Zhao walked out.

An old servant with a familiar face stood in the courtyard. It was the steward of the Xu residence, Zhou Zheng.

Han Zhao walked forward. "Steward Zhou."

Steward Zhou cupped his hands and bowed. He smiled and said, 'Young Master Han, Miss is holding a banquet in the residence. She invites you over."

Han Zhao was stunned.

A banquet?

Han Zhao looked down at his wrinkled lake-blue clothes and said, "Steward Zhou, you can go back first. I'll go after changing."

"The carriage is outside. I'll wait for you." Steward Zhou said respectfully.

A carriage?

Han Zhao glanced out the door.

Not far from the door was a luxuriously decorated carriage.

Xinqiao District was not close to the inner city. It would take more than ten minutes to walk there. However, with his strength as a martial artist, he arrived very quickly. It was slower to take a carriage.

"Alright, wait a moment."

Han Zhao returned to his room to change.

He changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

Yu Niang moved the ladder to the eaves and placed it against the wall. Then, she climbed up the ladder, wanting to take down the dried bologna hanging from the beam.

Han Zhao looked up and saw dark clouds gathering in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain.

"Yu Niang, I won't be coming back for dinner tonight. Eat by yourself." Han Zhao walked forward and held the ladder for her. He didnt ask her if she wanted to go with him. After all, she was a little socially afraid of strangers.

"Okay," Yu Niang replied.

Steward Zhou stood patiently in the courtyard and waited. He was not surprised that Han Zhao had another woman in his house.

It was too normal. This was considered rare.

After putting down the ladder for Yu Niang, Han Zhao walked up to Steward Zhou. "Steward Zhou, you've waited for a long time."

Squeal

Yu Niang locked the door from the inside.

This was what Han Zhao reminded her every time she went out.

—Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-I)emon)

—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (First Level Small Mastery 25%, Upgradeable)

Before leaving, Han Zhao checked her attributes panel. Yu Niangs cultivation speed of the Life Nurturing Technique was much faster than before.

In that case, it should be easier for Xu Ling, who had a better aptitude, to master the First Level of the Life Nurturing Technique.

He had personally experienced how effective true qi was in supporting Internal Force cultivation methods.

Halfway through the journey, heavy rain poured down from the sky. Dense raindrops fell, cracking and crackling on the roof of the carriage.

Han Zhao pushed open the car window. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was already blurry. He looked at the pedestrians running on the street to avoid the rain and smelled the faint fragrance of the Spirit Body Incense in the carriage. A hint of satisfaction surged in his heart.

It was almost the fourth year since he came to this world. He used to love to sleep listening to the rain on rainy days.

"Young Master Han, we're here."

After an unknown period of time, Steward Zhou's voice sounded outside the carriage.

Han Zhao lifted the curtain. The gatekeeper had already opened his umbrella and was waiting in front of the carriage.

After sending Han Zhao to the door of the room in the backyard, Steward Zhou stopped in his tracks. "Young Master Han, please! Miss is inside."

A melodious flute sound came from the room, and a beautiful rhythm spread in Han Zhao's ears. In fact, he had heard the flute sound in the corridor just now.

He did not expect Xu Ling to invite a musician. Could it be that she was specially celebrating his birthday?

However, he seemed to have remembered the time wrong.

Han Zhao thought to himself and pushed open the door.

Xu Ling was sitting sideways to the door, playing the flute attentively. Unlike usual, she was wearing various training clothes as her daily clothes. Today, she was wearing a slightly bright pink tube dress with a canvas made of light gauze. Her snow-white and round shoulders were faintly visible under the shawl.

The strapless dress that should have only revealed her collarbone and shoulders was half-exposed on her body.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xu Ling turned around, revealing a delicate face with slightly applied makeup. Her willovvy eyebrows were raised, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with spring, and her red lips were slightly pouted.

Just by looking at her small and round face, he felt that she was filled with the youthful aura of a young girl, and her snow-white and proud figure exuded the mature charm of a young woman.

Han Zhao had interacted with Xu Ling previously because of her cultivation. However, he had never seen such a scene.

"I just found out that you know how to play the flute." Han Zhao tried his best to appear calm.

However, his gaze had already betrayed him.

"Big Sister taught me when I was at home in the past. Other than the flute, I know a little about the flute." Xu Ling noticed Han Zhao's gaze and was slightly shy.

Han Zhao looked at Xu Lings red lips. "Can you play the flute too?"

Xu Ling smiled faintly.

"You're really multi-talented." Looking at Xu Lings innocent appearance, Han Zhao was speechless.

"The tune I played just now is called 'Flying Phoenix'. It's… and… I've already learned that. Tomorrow is your birthday. Tonight.. Xu Ling lowered her eyes.

Although her words were intermittent, how could Han Zhao not understand?

This was the first time someone had celebrated his birthday for him since he came to this world. At this moment, he felt joy and warmth in his heart.

Han Zhao stepped forward.

Xu Ling gripped her clothes tightly, raised her head slightly, and closed her eyes.

However, a manly robe was draped over her body.

"The weather is cold at night. Have you cultivated your Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique to perfection?" Han Zhao wrapped Xu Lings coat and bowed as he sat on the chair opposite her.

"Just a little more," Xu Ling answered truthfully. She felt that it was different from what she had expected.

"Are there any signs of breaking through to the Blood Tempering Realm?" Han Zhao continued.

"Yes, but I've finished the demon snake jerky. I haven't bought it yet." Xu Ling nodded.

"I'll teach you a cultivation method that can increase your chances of breaking through to the Blood Tempering Realm," Han Zhao said seriously and raised his head slightly.

"Junior Brother Han, you… don't want to? Will you think that I… " Xu Lings expression was slightly nervous.

Han Zhao looked at her beautiful face and his breathing was a little heavy. "Currently, combined cultivation should be able to help you break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, but it won't allow you to obtain greater benefits. Moreover, I haven't reached the peak of blood qi growth. When your cultivation method is perfected, it's best if you break through to the Blood Tempering

Realm."

'i Understood." Xu Ling smiled. It sounded like Junior Martial Brother Han was beating around the bush, but looking at his red eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone, it already explained everything.

"Now, don't seduce me anymore, understand?" Han Zhao wrapped her coat tightly around her.

What a headache!

"Yes!" Xu Ling blushed and smiled. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly revealed a sly expression. "Junior Brother Han, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

"You!" Han Zhao stood up and lifted the coat that was draped over Xu Ling.

"Junior Brother Han?"

"Follow me!" Han Zhao pulled her into the inner room.

"What… are you doing?

"Don't you have the talent to show?"

"What?"

"In addition to playing the flute, I want to see you play my flute." "You just said that you wanted to teach me a cultivation method…'

"It's my birthday tomorrow. Let's get down to business first!" Han Zhao pinched Xu Lings face and pretended to be fierce.

Chapter 75 Simulation: The Sect Master Is Actually Me!

Another ordinary three months.

Ever since he unlocked a new posture with Xu Ling on his last birthday, Han Zhao was a little obsessed. Later on, he relied on his great perseverance to recover his self-discipline.

Wine was a poison that pierced through the intestines. Lust was a bone-scraping steel saber. Even a hundred-tempered steel could turn soft. Who could withstand this?

Especially this Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique, it could actually ensure that the Pure Yang Qi would not leak out, but his happiness was not reduced at all.

Of course, what made Han Zhao the happiest was the increase in his basic aptitude from the [Late Bloomer] Trait.

Among all his previous aptitudes, the one that held him back the most was his innate foundation.

After eating the same amount of food and medicinal herbs and training at the same intensity, the improvement his body brought about by cultivating martial arts was inferior to others.

These problems are much better now, and they will get better in the future.

The further he went, the more exaggerated the energy and money needed for the simulator, so the number of simulations would definitely decrease.

However, as long as his aptitude continued to increase, he could reduce his reliance on attribute points.

When he first came to this world, even with the help of the attribute points, he did not slack off for a moment. He always maintained a high level of self-discipline.

However, later on, the resources he needed increased and the difficulties he encountered became greater and greater. He could not resolve it alone and could only add points.

Of course, compared to the benefits of these troubles, trouble was not much trouble.

In the end, it was because someone wanted to break his peaceful life and forced him to act.

He could only counterattack and deal with all the people who caused trouble, preventing trouble from appearing at the root.

...

Martial Arts: Life Nurturing Technique (Third Level Perfection 17%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Body Strengthening Level 8, Pure Yang Level 3, Qi Seeding Level 1, Life Extension 200 years)

Yin Fiend Palm (Second Level Perfection 89%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Poison Avoidance Level 3), Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Greater Mastery 45%, Upgradeable)

Looking at the martial arts column on the system interface, Han Zhao could not help but sigh at the huge benefits brought about by the increase in aptitude.

The progress of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique increased from 8% to 45% of the Greater Mastery realm, increasing by 37%. Before his aptitude doubled, it increased by 20% in three months.

The progress of the Life Nurturing Technique increased by 10% from 7% to 17%. Before his aptitude doubled, it increased by 6% in three months.

The fastest improvement was still the Yin Fiend Palm. It went from 56% of the Greater Mastery stage of the Second Level to 89% of the Perfection stage. It increased by 133%, and the Poison Avoidance effect also increased to Level 3. Before his aptitude doubled, it increased by 155% in three months.

After his aptitude doubled, it seemed that his cultivation progress did not double at the same time.

However, in the actual cultivation process, the more profound each cultivation method was, the harder it was to improve.

He did not know the exact extent of his current aptitude, but his actual cultivation speed was definitely more than three times faster than before.

The most obvious comparison was the Life Nurturing Technique. From 8% Greater Mastery of the Third Level to 7% Perfection, 7 attribute points only crossed 101% of the cultivation progress. One attribute point increased the progress by about 14.42%.

Entry Level, Small Mastery, Greater Mastery, and Perfection. The further he went, the less progress his attribute points could increase.

Han Zhao still remembered that when he first came to this world, the system notified him of the Life Nurturing Technique—with his aptitude, he had a chance of reaching Greater Mastery after cultivating diligently for 60 years. At that time, he could increase his lifespan by 20 years.

The original version of the Life Nurturing Technique only increased his lifespan by 20 years after learning all three levels. However, this was equivalent to the lifespan increased by a martial artist breaking through the huge bottleneck of the Blood Tempering Realm.

20 years of lifespan was just nothing to him.

Now that he had cultivated the Life Nurturing Technique to the limit, it had already increased his lifespan by 200 years.

His current lifespan was as high as 288 years.

Most of the remaining 268 years of lifespan were high-quality.

Now, his few months of cultivation could be compared to the enhancement of one attribute point on a single cultivation method.

The key was that his attribute points were limited and he could not increase every cultivation method, but he could cultivate several cultivation methods in a day.

Even without attribute points, just by relying on his own cultivation, his improvement progress was quite impressive.

Especially when cultivating a cultivation technique lower than his current realm, his speed was definitely at the genius level.

"I have to think of a way to continue improving this Vajra Technique. If I max out the first two levels, I should have a medium aptitude. I probably won't be stuck at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering in the simulation." Han Zhao thought to himself. He got off the bed and took out the package in the cabinet.

Then, he took off the Extraction Saber hanging on the wall and put it on his waist.

From the previous simulation, it could be seen that the additional Blood Tempering Realm cultivator in the Flying Dragon Stockade was related to the Longevity Sect, and this Longevity Sect was related to the great demon, Heaven Fiend King.

He didn't need to overturn the Longevity Sect and defeat the Heaven Fiend King. All he needed to do was figure out the background of the Longevity Sect and avoid the demons that might appear near the Anomaly.

"Stockade Lord Qi, it should be enough for you to live for another half a year, right? If you don't die, it won't be polite."

Han Zhao muttered softly.

"System."

[Collected 70 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold. You will definitely obtain a one-time Basic Trait, Life Simulation.]

[The probability of obtaining a White Trait increases by 10%; the probability of obtaining a Green Trait increases by 8%; the probability of obtaining a Blue Trait increases by 6%; the probability of obtaining a Purple Trait increases by 5%; the probability of obtaining an Orange Trait increases by 4%; the probability of obtaining a Red Trait increases by 2%; the probability of obtaining a Golden Trait increases by 0.01%]

After the Life Nurturing Technique improved, the price increased as usual. Even the Golden Trait was available.

However, the probability was too low. Not to mention spending money, he might not even be able to get one in a lifetime.

"I can hide a little in this simulation and see the effect of the increase in aptitude. At the same time, I can investigate the background of the Longevity Sect."

Han Zhao kept hinting in his heart that he had to hide.

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

[20 years old. You went to Nine Links Town to kill Qi Xing and captured another Blood Tempering Realm martial artist alive.]

[Under the torture, the other party told you everything he knew. He is the Deputy Incense Master of the Longevity Sect's Blood Spirit Hall. He is in charge of searching for something in Blackrock City.]

[You obtained the Second Level of the Blood Spirit Policy and half of the Wind Riding Leg cultivation method from him.]

[When you returned to Blackrock City and discovered that Xu Ling has already broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm, you secretly told Lu Yi that you had also broken through. Lu Yi was overjoyed.]

[Zhu Kangsheng began to forge a saber for you.]

[21 years old. With the support of Lu Yi's resources, your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique has broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough realm.]

[Lu Yi wanted to marry Lu Yingxuan to you and wrote a letter to let Lu Yingxuan return to Blackrock City.]

[Lu Yingxuan refused to return because she had something on and could not leave for the time being. Lu Yi personally brought you to the prefecture capital to look for her.]

[On the way, you encountered a martial artist who claimed to be a Spirit Guardian. The other party was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Before he died, he handed you a piece of information. He hoped you could send it to the prefecture capital.]

[Lu Yi accepted the other party's request. You sent the information to the Spirit Guardian branch of Yuan Chang County.]

[Lu Yi went to see an old friend of the Spirit Guardian. You were invited and decided to become a member of the Spirit Guardian's secret guard organization.]

[You didn't find Lu Yingxuan in the prefecture capital, so you returned to Blackrock City.]

[At the age of 22, you encountered the Longevity Sect again and were invited by the Blood Spirit Hall's Hall Master. Xu Ling broke through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough realm.]

[You reported this matter to the superior of the secret guard. The other party asked you to enter the Longevity Sect and become a spy. Driven by benefits, you decided to 'enter the tiger's den'.]

[Half a year later, Lu Yi began to teach you the Mountain Shaking Fist.]

[23 years old. You reached the perfected third Blood Qi Breakthrough. After cultivating with Xu Ling, she broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough and you successfully grasped Internal Force.]

[After that, you were promoted to the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Spirit Hall and obtained the complete secret manuals of the Third Level of the Blood Spirit Policy and the Wind Riding Leg.]

[At the end of the year, Lu Yingxuan returned to Blackrock City. You wanted to marry her and Xu Ling, and the two women had no objections.]

[On the night of the wedding, the Ji family sent a congratulatory gift. Ji Zhuling told you that Ji Baiwei had successfully obtained the recognition of the Seven Evil Mask fragment.]

[25 years old. Xu Ling gave birth to a son for you and your blood qi was damaged.]

[At the end of the year, Lu Yingxuan gave birth to a daughter for you. Her body was declining day by day.]

[26 years old. Your Yin Fiend Palm and Wind Riding Leg were cultivated to the fourth level one after another. By chance, the Yin Fiend Force, Wind Riding Force, and Mountain Shaking Force fused to form an extremely special Internal Force. You named it the Three Essence Force and your strength increased greatly.]

[Your strength made Hall Master Xue Ling feel threatened. He began to suppress you. You decided to strike first and kill him to take the position of Hall Master.]

[In the same year, the Chu Country invaded the Cloud Prefecture. Yu Niang mysteriously disappeared. Xu Ling's initial version of the Life Nurturing Technique reached the Greater Mastery stage and successfully grasped Internal Force. Lu Yingxuan was bedridden and plagued by a strange illness. You often used the Life Nurturing True Qi to nourish her body, but the effect was minimal.]

[At the end of the year, more than half of Cloud Prefecture fell. Lu Yingxuan died of illness. You were extremely sad.]

[30 years old. You reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. You relied on roping in, suppressing, and assassinating to rise to the top of the Longevity Sect and sit in the position of Deputy Sect Master.]

[In the past five years, Ji Baiwei repeatedly sent you information to avoid danger.]

[You relied on the resources of the Longevity Sect and the Ji family's channels to buy a batch of Fire Marrow Pills. The Vajra Technique successfully broke through to the Second Level. The pain and inner demons during the breakthrough left you with lingering fear.]

[35 years old. Your Life Nurturing Technique was cultivated to the limit. You fused the Three Essence Force and the Life Nurturing True Qi to form the Three Points Origin Returning Technique. Your strength increased greatly.]

[40 years old. You successfully stepped into the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm. Your cultivation speed decreased greatly.]

[41 years old. The secret guards moved out and surrounded the Longevity Sect's Sect Master. Under the orders of the secret guards, you joined the battle, but it caused Xu Ling to be attacked on the other side and seriously injured.]

[The Sect Master died and you became the new Sect Master. In order to save Xu Ling, you decided to pretend to join the demons.]

[42 years old. The secret guards requested to reel in the net and annihilate the Longevity Sect in one go. You hoped to wait a little longer.]

[Your boss told you not to make a mistake for a woman. You attacked angrily and killed the boss and a group of insiders.]

[At this point, you firmly sat in the position of the Sect Master.]

[43 years old. When you were out, you were attacked by a Martial Saint. You fought for a day and night and died of exhaustion.]

Chapter 76: Sword and Saber Attack

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios

[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points] [3: Obtain any part of the life experience]

[Current Balance: 170 taels of gold]

Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and couldn't help but

After being a spy for so long, he had become the Sect Master.

"What's the situation with Yingxuan? She didnt encounter Ji Baiwei's attack in this simulation. Why did she die early?"

Han Zhao was filled with questions.

Although he had never seen Lu Yingxuan until now, after so many simulations, she had become his wife. Han Zhao had already treated her as one of his own.

The simulation showed that she was plagued by a strange illness, but Lu Yi was very healthy. His daughter, Han Nianxuan, was also very normal, so it was not a genetic illness.

"I choose Option 3,"

After pondering for a moment, Han Zhao made a decision.

This time, he simulated that he had cultivated to the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm and even cultivated many cultivation methods to the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. Just cultivation experience was very useful, let alone the fusion of cultivation methods.

As the choice ended, an image appeared in front of him like a movie.

These images were a little like fast-forwarded movie highlights, just like the previous time. However, he knew that it was because his realm had increased and his blood qi had become stronger. He felt that the degree of control had increased.

Soon, the memories arrived at the scene of him cultivating martial arts.

Han Zhao's attention was highly focused.

Under his control, the cultivation scene turned into a fixed frame, allowing him to observe frame by frame.

After a while, the complete cultivation methods of the Second Level and Third Level of the Blood Spirit Policy appeared in his memory.

Immediately after was the Mountain Shaking Fist that could be cultivated to the Greater Mastery of grasping Internal Force.

Lastly, there was the Grandmaster martial art, Wind Riding Leg, which was enough to break through to the Visceral Tempering Realm.

Martial Arts: Blood Spirit Policy (First Level Perfection 100%, Upgradeable),

Mountain Shaking Fist (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable), Wind Riding

Leg (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable)

Soon, the data of three cultivation methods appeared on the martia_l arts column.

The Mountain Shaking Fist and Wind Riding Leg were directly past the Entry Level. The Blood Spirit Policy that originally displayed Can Deduce had also become an Upgradeable state.

Immediately after, a system notification appeared.

[Mountain Shaking Force, Wind Riding Force, and Yin Fiend Force. When the three Internal Forces are at the Greater Mastery Realm, you can obtain the deduction route: Mountain Shaking Force Wind Riding Force Yin Fiend Force = Three Essence Force.]

[Three Essence Force: Gather the fierce and domineering power of the Mountain Shaking Fist, the elegance and longness of the Wind Riding Leg, and the coldness and evilness of the Yin Fiend Palm. The Interna_l Force of the three different martial arts combined into one. If it is completely fused into one, the Internal Force is almost infinite and restrains most Internal Force.]

[When the Three Essence Force and Life Nurturing Technique reach perfection, you can obtain the deduction route: Three Essence Force Life Nurturing True Qi = Three Points Origin Returning Technique]

[Three Points Origin Returning Technique: Gather the power of the Three Essence Force and the Pure Yang Life Nurturing True Qi. Internal and external cultivation complement each other. The Three Essence circulates. When it reaches the Greater Mastery realm, it can naturally expand and multiply.] "In the future, the Sword and Saber Duo will be the strongest!"

The deduction and fusion memories of the Mountain Shaking Fist, Wind Riding Leg, Yin Fiend Palm, and Life Nurturing Technique flashed through Han Zhao's mind. He could not help but shake his head and laugh.

In the simulation, without the help of the Trait effect, he could fuse cultivation methods and create the Three Points Origin Returning Technique. In the end, he even fought a Martial Saint for a day and night at the Grandmaster Realm and died from exhaustion.

He was indeed a genius!

Unfortunately, even with the help of the Fire Marrow Pills in the simulation, he did not dare to cultivate the Third Level of the Vajra Technique.

Otherwise, with Ji Baiwei's connections, she would definitely be able to obtain the subsequent cultivation method from the Ji family.

Thinking of the pain when the Vajra Technique advanced, Han Zhao couldn't help but shiver.

"It's indeed very useful to increase one's aptitude! Unfortunately, no matter how fast one's efforts are, they can't compare to the accumulation of these large factions for thousands of years."

"Unless one is a cheater."

Han Zhao sighed.

In the end, he did not know if this Martial Saint was sent by the secret guards. After all, he had killed his immediate superior.

"Since that's the case, I'll set a small goal. Suppress the Martial Saint before the age of 43."

As the memories froze the moment he died, a large number of trivial daily memories quickly blurred, making his originally swollen and dizzy head instantly feel much better.

Outside Nine Links Town, in the dense forest not far away.

A handsome middle-aged man in a gray robe who looked like a Confucian scholar was walking unhurriedly on the forest path.

Just by looking at his appearance, he gave off the impression of a teacher who had gone out for a walk.

No one would have thought that such a refined-looking man was actually a bandit who killed without batting an eyelid.

This person was the head of the Flying Dragon Stockade, Qi Xing. At the sa_me time, he was also the adopted son of the previous head of the Zhang family.

In his hands, the Flying Dragon Stockade gradually became the largest bandit force in the vicinity.

Although he could only bully some civilians without the protection of powerful martial arts, the number of people he could gather was quite considerable.

Of course, Qi Xing was also very tactful and never provoked large factions.

Therefore, on account of the Zhang fa_mily, the nearby factions turned a blind eye to the development of the Flying Dragon Stockade.

Seven to eight months ago, they got in touch with the Deputy Incense Master of the Longevity Sect and obtained the Blood Spirit Policy divine technique.

This was a powerful cultivation method that could increase blood qi.

For the first time, Qi Xing showed signs of breaking through in a realm where his blood qi had stagnated for many years.

Not only that, half a year ago, Zhang Tianwen broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm because of this.

The Zhang fa_mily used the Blood Spirit Policy as a bargaining chip to rope in the Meng family, one of the five great families in Blackrock City.

However, Zhang Tianwen and the genius of the Meng family, Meng Zhi, were killed in the inner city. Not long after the Zhang familys head returned home, he was bedridden.

The Meng family did not mention anything about cooperation.

Recently, Edge Sharpening Manor's Deputy Manor Master, Zhu Kangsheng, had been secretly investigating his traces.

Zhu Kangshengs family had been killed by him more than ten years ago. Now that he had the guts, he must be up to no good.

However, without evidence and without the support of the Meng family's Force Tempering Martial Master, it was impossible for them to arrest Zhu Kangsheng and torture him.

Therefore, Qi Xing decided to use himself as bait and deliberately go out to lure out the person behind him.

With Zhu Kangshengs wealth, it was already impressive that he could invite a second Blood Qi Breakthrough expert.

He himself was at the perfected first Blood Qi Breakthrough, and the Deputy Incense Master of the Longevity Sect behind him was a great expert at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough, as well as ten experts at the Bone Tempering Realm.

Unless he encountered a Force Tempering Martial Master, nothing would go wrong.

"Friend, you've followed me all the way. Why don't you show yourself?" Halfway through, Qi Xing stopped in his tracks and spoke to the empty forest.

Tap, tap!

The sound of fallen leaves and withered branches being trampled sounded.

Qi Xing turned around and saw a tall man with a saber and sword on his back walking over. He was dressed in white and had a determined expression. His long black hair was tied up high, revealing his towering beauty.

To martial artists, people in white were either newbies who knew nothing or first-rate experts. After all, white clothes were the easiest to dye with dust and blood.

Obviously, the other party was not the former.

"I don't think I know you?" Qi Xing was the first to speak.

"It's enough for me to know that you're Qi Xing." Han Zhao's expression was calm.

"Who exactly are you? We don't seem to have any grudges."

"There's a bid for your head. Very generous."

"How much is he offering? I'll pay double!" Qi Xings expression darkened.

"You ca_n't afford it." Han Zhao placed his hand on the saber and sword on his back.

"No room for discussion? "There's no room for discussion."

Tap, tap, tap!

Hurried footsteps came from the surroundings. Eleven martial artists surrounded him from all directions.

One of them was an old man in a short black suit, revealing his strong muscles. He walked to Qi Xings side.

"And now?" Qi Xing revealed a mocking expression.

"The same."

Han Zhao held his saber and sword at the same time.

The old man took a step forward. "You don't look familiar. A Blood Tempering

Realm martial artist is not a nobody. Please state your name,"

"Ye Xiaochai," Han Zhao said lightly. His expression suddenly became a little conflicted. He muttered to himself in a low voice, "Should I call it 'Sword and Saber Duo'? ()r should I call it 'Sword Frenzy?"

Seeing that the person was surrounded by them and acted as if no one was around, the old man's expression froze. He cupped his fists with his black gold gloves. "I'm from the Longevity Sect…

"I'm not interested in dead people's names."

Hearing this, the old man was furious. However, the other partys aura suddenly changed and he slashed at him.

This is…

Shock flashed in the old man's eyes. Before he could step out with the Wind Riding Leg, a sharp sword light flashed in front of him.

Before he could raise his fists to his chest, the sword had already disappeared from his vision.

Suddenly, he realized that his line of sight was quickly falling.

In front of him was a headless body with blood spurting from its neck.

It seemed to be his body.

From the corner of his eye, the old man saw the head on the ground opposite him.

Qi Xing was also dead?

"Is this the legendary sword intent?" The old man's mouth opened a_nd closed slightly, but he could not make a sound.

"The Deputy Incense Master is dead!"

"The Stockade Lord has been killed!"

"Run!"

An extremely shocked shout sounded in his ears, making him feel noisy.

Han Zhao sheathed his saber with his left hand and sword with his right. "As first Blood Qi Breakthrough martial artists, you two are too weak!

'He's at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough! I'm the one at the first Blood Qi Breakthrough!' Qi Xings pupils constricted as he shouted silently. Immediately, he fell into endless darkness.

"Noisy!

Looking at the Bone Tempering Realm martial artists fleeing in all directions, Han Zhao chased after them like the wind..

Chapter 77: Flattening the Flying Dragon Stockade, Meeting the Disciples of the Aristocratic Families

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios

In the forest.

"It's indeed cool to wear white clothes, but I still have to come personally to loot the corpse after the battle. How troublesome."

Han Zhao held a bag in his hand and squatted on the ground. As he picked up things, he muttered.

After killing Qi Xing and the Deputy Incense Master of the Blood Spirit Hall, he killed the remaining ten Bone Tempering Realm martial artists.

There were a total of 12 people. All the money on them added up was only about 500 taels.

However, this was normal. In the past, when Han Zhao was a Saber Hunter, he killed those wanted criminals until they had nowhere to stay. That was why they carried all their belongings with them.

As for these bandits and the Longevity Sect members, most of their assets were probably in the stronghold.

Of course, the black gold gloves worn by the Deputy Incense Master of the Blood Spirit Hall were considered separately.

Although it was only mixed with a small portion of black gold, it was worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Coincidentally, Han Zhao had also cultivated palm and fist techniques. If he wore the black gold gloves, it would not be a problem for him to receive the blade with his bare hands in the future.

"I still have to go to the Flying Dragon Stockade."

Han Zhao recalled that the last time he went to the Flying Dragon Stockade, he had promised the linen-clothed woman, Madam Mei, that one day, he would flatten the Flying Dragon Stockade and save all of them.

Now was the time.

Han Zhao cut off Qi Xings head and wrapped it in a cloth before using a disguise technique.

Crack, crack!

Amidst the slight sound of bones cracking, he became slightly shorter. His originally firm face quickly became cold and proud. His sword-like eyebrows were straight, and his eyes were like cold stars.

Since he had agreed to go as Song Que, he had to keep his word.

Of course, he could also plunder the ill-gotten wealth of the Flying Dragon Stockade on behalf of the heavens.

Near the top of the Nine Links Mountain, a huge knockoff gate was built against the mountain.

Behind the door were two towering watchtowers. Two bandits stood on each watchtower and looked around.

At this moment, the bandits on the observation deck were chatting idly.

"Damn it! I'm so envious of Chief. He's been going down the mountain often recently."

"Heh! If you break through to the Bone Tempering Realm and become the head, you can also go down the mountain with us."

"I don't have that fate!"

"Sigh We can only go to the dungeon and vent our anger on those things that the boss doesn't like."

"That's still better than fucking farming at home and being bullied and bullied by these cool officials."

"That's true… By the way, I heard that three good products have arrived recently. Theyre triplets. Is that true?

"So what if I am? The chief hasnt enjoyed it yet. Dont even think about it!

"When Chief gets tired of playing, then…

"Huh? What's that?!"

At this moment, one of the bandits suddenly warned.

A white figure suddenly appeared in the forest opposite the village gate.

"It's a person! So fast!"

The person was like an agile cheetah. His figure moved in the forest and arrived at the entrance of the stockade in a few breaths.

"We have a situation!" the bandit on the observation deck shouted.

Soon, bandits arrived one after another and gathered behind the door. "Who i s there?! Stop!" ()ne of the people on the watchtower nocked an arrow and aimed it at the white-robed man below.

Han Zhao stopped in his tracks and threw the cloth bag in his hand through the five-meter-tall door.

The package opened in midair. When it landed, Qi Xings head rolled on the ground.

"Ah! It's Chief!"

"Chief has been killed!"

When the surrounding bandits saw Qi Xings head, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.

The boss was a great expert at the Blood Tempering Realm. He was like a local emperor in the Nine Links Mountain area.

There was once a perfected Bone Tempering martial artist who joined the Flying Dragon Stockade halfway and challenged the authority of the boss. In the end, his limbs were broken and he was hung on the door, dying from the scorching sun.

Such a great expert that they thought could not be challenged was now only left with a ferocious head. Everyone felt terrified.

"Run!"

It was unknown who spoke first, but the bandits behind the gate of the stockade dispersed.

However, no matter how fast they were, they were not as fast as Han Zhao.

Although the Wind Riding Leg was only at the Entry Level, with the support of his powerful blood qi, it could completely unleash its elegant and long characteristics.

He tapped his feet repeatedly and jumped over the five-meter-tall door of the stockade.

Swoosh!

When Han Zhao's body was in the air, the bandit standing on the observation deck let go of the bowstring. Accompanied by a sharp sound of air being torn, the arrow shot towards Han Zhao's face.

Tap! Tap!

Han Zhao carried his saber and sword behind his back. He had no intention of unsheathing them at all. His right fist, which was wearing a black gold boxing glove, turned into a palm saber and broke the arrow in the middle as if he was swatting a fly.

At the same time, he twisted his left index and middle fingers to clamp the arrowhead. His body turned in the air according to inertia and threw back the half of the arrow with the arrowhead.

Swoosh!!!

With more than seven times the strength and speed of the arrowhead, it returned the way it came. With a whoosh, it pierced through the bandit's forehead. Then, it darted out from the back of his head. Half of the arrow, stained with yellow and white, pierced deeply into the wooden pillar on the watchtower. The arrow shaft buzzed and trembled.

The difference in overall strength between Blood Tempering Realm and Skin Tempering Realm martial artists could almost be considered two different creatures.

Moreover, he was facing Han Zhao.

The last time Han Zhao came to the Flying Dragon Stockade, he had to sneak in at night, afraid that he would be discovered and fall into the danger of being surrounded by bandits.

In this frontal attack, even if a few more Blood Tempering Realm cultivators came, they would not be able to do anything to him.

Moreover, the strongest martial artist left in the village was only at the Skin Tempering Realm.

"Ah!"

"Run!"

"Spare me!"

Han Zhao was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He randomly attacked with his fists, palms, and legs, killing these bandits until they were on their backs and crying for their parents.

No one could stand up after being hit by him. Soon, a large group of bandits lay around him, but his white clothes were spotless.

It had to be said that apart from combat and nourishing health, true qi also had the effect of avoiding dust.

Otherwise, after a battle, his white clothes would turn gray, and Song Que would lose all his poise.

Looking at the bandits fleeing in all directions in the distance, Han Zhao quickly chased after them.

When he killed his way into Qi Xing's residence, the women inside were in a mess.

"Everyone, stay where you are. Dont run around!" Han Zhao said.

The women saw that he had a cold expression and was dressed in white. His bearing was extraordinary, and he had the attitude of a righteous hero. They stopped one after another, but they still felt uneasy.

"You are… Hero Song?!" A surprised and delighted voice sounded.

Han Zhao looked in the direction of the voice.

A gentle-looking woman in linen clothes was covering her mouth and looking at him in disbelief.

"You're… Madam Mei from that night." Han Zhao took a closer look. The young woman was the one he had met the night he disguised himself as a woman to lure and kill the heretic Blood Tempering martial artist. "Don't be afraid, everyone. Hero Song is here to save us!"

Madam Mei shouted.

Only then did everyone relax. Many women hugged each other and cried.

"Hero Song, some women are imprisoned in the dungeon by thieves. I often bring them food. I know where the dungeon is. I'll bring you there." Madam Mei walked forward.

"Alright!" Han Zhao nodded. Although he wanted to find the money left behind by Qi Xing first, since she had said so, he had to play the role of a hero to the end. In any case, the rest were all ordinary people and could not escape.

Madam Mei brought Han Zhao to the backyard, and some women followed.

"Most of the women in the village are from poor families in the vicinity. They were forcefully captured and brought up the mountain. Those who were disobedient were locked in the dungeon. Some were kidnapped as hostages. Recently, three of them came from Chu Country and went out to be rangers without telling their families. In the end, they were trapped here," Madam Mei explained as she walked.

"What exactly happened in Chu? Why is there a plague and a drought?"

Han Zhao asked. He had come in a hurry last time and did not have time to ask in detail.

Chu Country was the same as the Wei and Qi countries. They were both large and powerful countries. There was no reason for it to be so serious that it could not even resolve a plague and a drought.

Previously, he had simulated many times that the Chu Country had invaded the Cloud Prefecture when he was 26 years old. He did not know if this was related to the plague and drought in the Chu Country.

It would be great if he could obtain some useful information.

"I'm not sure either. There was no warning at the place where I lived. There was a sudden drought and plague, and many people died. Rumor has it that a Flying Drought Demon appeared, so it caused a barren land." Madam Mei's expression was a little sad. She calmed down and continued, "Looking at the clothes of the three heroines, theyre clearly rich and noble. They should know something. ' I

Flying Drought Demon?!

Han Zhao frowned slightly. "Let's go take a look."

He followed Madam Mei to a cellar in the backyard. He did not expect there to be another world behind the cellar.

After passing through an underground corridor, they saw a dungeon that was nearly a hundred square meters in front of them. There were five small cubicles on both sides, and two to three women were imprisoned in each cubicle. Most of them were disheveled and naked.

The air was mixed with the smell of mold and feces and urine. It was nauseating.

The women inside were originally lying on the ground like corpses. When they saw Madam Mei walking over, they crawled to the door of the iron fence as if they were dying. "It's time to eat! Give me something to eat!"

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Han Zhao drew his saber and cut the door lock.

"The thieves in the village have all been killed by Hero Song. You're free." Madam Mei looked at the tragic state of the women and couldnt help but cry softly.

The woman, who had been imprisoned for too long, stared blankly at the open iron door. For a moment, she could not tell if everything in front of her was real.

Han Zhao sighed in his heart.

Because she was a woman, she was captured and brought to the mountain stronghold. It was also because she was a woman that she was not killed by bandits like men.

"The three new people are in the innermost cell." Madam Mei wiped her tears and pointed at the innermost cell.

Han Zhao followed the direction and saw three girls imprisoned in the prison.

Hearing the commotion, the three women raised their heads. Although their expressions were numb, they could not hide their beauty.

From the looks of it, they were triplets, only 15 or 16 years old.

Han Zhao's gaze focused. It was not because of the girl's beauty, but because of the system notification.

[The thin aristocratic family bloodline contains negligible Yin energy.]

"The three of you… are descendants of aristocratic families?

Han Zhao asked through the metal door.

The three women's originally numb expressions immediately changed..

One of the girls ran over and held the iron fence tightly with both hands. She asked excitedly,

"You know about the aristocratic family?!

"Chengxue!" Another girl walked forward and pulled the girl in front. When she saw Han Zhao dressed as a martial artist, she asked, "Young Master, the aristocratic family you mentioned is…

After all, ordinary martial artists would call powerful families aristocratic families. They were different from the aristocratic families they spoke of.

"Of course, I'm talking about the Divine Weapon Family." Han Zhao said seriously.

"You really know about the aristocratic family! The girl in front revealed a look

Clang!

Han Zhao cut the door lock.

"It stinks in here! Let's talk outside.'

Han Zhao pulled open the iron door and gestured for the three women to follow him out.

The three women walked out of the prison one after another.

Looking at their unsteady footsteps, it was unknown if they were poisoned or if they were very weak.

"By the way, my name is Song Que. I still don't know your names?

Han Zhao brought the girls out of the dungeon and asked the triplets behind him.

"My name is Lian Chengxue!" The girl who spoke first answered first. Then, she pointed at the girl who stopped her just now. "This is my elder sister, Lian

Chengyu."

"This is my third sister, Lian Chengbing." Lian Chengxue pointed at the girl who had not spoken from the beginning to the end.

"Greetings." Han Zhao cupped his fists and bowed.

Although the Yuj Xue, and Bing sisters looked identical, they seemed to be easier to distinguish based on their personalities.

The second daughter, Lian Chengxue, had just escaped, but she looked lively and innocent. It was obvious that she had been protected too well by her family and did not know how sinister people were. It reminded him of Ji Baiwei.

So gullible.

The third sister, Lian Chengbing, looked a little shy.

As for the eldest sister, Lian Chengyu, she seemed to have experience in the pugilistic world and was a little wary of him.

Han Zhao brought everyone to the front yard and said, "Everyone, the bandits of the Flying Dragon Stockade, including Qi Xing, have all been killed by me. You can go home now. In addition…"

"You killed my father! I'll fight you to the death!" A girl around 12 or 13 years old shouted. She broke free from the embrace of the purple-robed woman behind her and stabbed at Han Zhao with a dagger.

"Ying'er! No!" The purple-clothed young woman cried out in shock.

Pfft!

A black stream flashed past, and Han Zhao sheathed his saber.

"Plop!" The girl fell to the ground, her head separated from her body.

"Ah!" The woman in the field exclaimed and covered her eyes in shock at this terrifying scene.

The purple-robed woman rushed up and cried on the girl's corpse. She shouted at Han Zhao. "How could von do this?! She's still a child!"

"She was no longer a child the moment she swung her saber at me," Han Zhao said calmly. "If you don't want her to die, you should have held her tightly."

"Good kill! The daughter of a bandit is also a bandit!"

"That's right! She deserves to be killed!" "It's time to kill the bandit's woman too!"

"Kill her! Kill her!"

At this moment, the women who had just been released from the dungeon were agitated.

"Shut up!" Han Zhao's expression darkened.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

"I killed the bandits of the Flying Dragon Stockade because I have a grudge against them. Secondly, I promised Madam Mei that I would save her and you guys one day. Finally, I want to find the money Qi Xing plundered. As for the rest, I wont care."

Han Zhao said calmly.

As he spoke, he looked at the purple-clothed woman lying on the ground. "From the looks of it, you should be Qi Xings woman. You should know where his money is hidden, right?"

Facing Han Zhao's calm gaze, the purple-robed woman hurriedly nodded.

"Take me there!"

"Please… Hero, follow me."

Han Zhao followed. Seeing that the three sisters of the Lian family were standing behind him without moving, he smiled and said, "Aren't you going together?"

"Yeah… we're coming!" Lian Chengxue followed immediately.

Seeing this, Lian Chengyu and Lian Chengbing followed closely behind.

The five of them arrived at the main room in the east wing. The purple-robed woman opened a secret compartment behind the cabinet in the study and took out a wooden box.

Inside the box was a stack of banknotes with a hundred denominations.

Han Zhao counted. There was a total of 3,500 taels.

There was also a saber technique manual that could be cultivated to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough realm. He only roughly scanned it before putting it away with the banknotes.

"Is that all?" Han Zhao frowned slightly.

"Everything I know is here. I don't know if there's anything hidden elsewhere. Hero, can you let me off? ? The purple-robed woman's plump body trembled slightly, and a fawning expression appeared on her charming face "Okay, you can leave first." Han Zhao waved his hand.

The purple-robed woman left the room as if she had been pardoned. Han Zhao turned to look at the three Lian sisters with a smile.

"The three of you don't have to be nervous. I heard from Madam Mei that you're from Chu, so I have some questions that I want the three of you to answer for me. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."

"Brother Song, I don't feel the power of the black membrane from you. Are you a pure martial artist? Or did you not awaken your bloodline, or was your innate bloodline too weak? You didnt…" Lian Chengxue threw out a series of questions.

"Chengxue!" Lian Chengyu shouted at her. To a descendant of an aristocratic family, saying that someone else's innate bloodline was too weak was simply a slap in the face.

Han Zhao waved at Lian Chengyu, indicating that she should not speak.

This Lian Chengxue was too easy to communicate with.

"I'm a pure martial artist, but I've interacted with the Ji familys disciples before. Do you know the Ji family of Great Wei?" Han Zhao smiled.

"The Ji family?! Of course, I know! There's not a single descendant of an aristocratic family in the world who doesnt know about the Five Great Surnames and Ten Great Families of the Wei Country. Brother Song, you're really impressive. You actually know someone from the Ji family!" Lian Chengxue revealed a look of admiration.

"No, it was just a chance encounter. We're not familiar." Han Zhao waved his hand.

"Hero Song, didn't you just say that you had a question for us? Go ahead and ask. I'll definitely tell you everything I know." Lian Chengyu changed the topic.

If Second Sister continued, she would probably expose their background.

If not for the fact that their stupid second sister insisted on serving justice despite the decline of their bloodline, they would not have fallen into the trap of a martial artist and been captured to the dark dungeon to be imprisoned for five days and five nights.

"I heard from Madam Mei that there was a plague and a drought in Chu. Was it done by an aristocratic family?" Seeing that Lian Chengyu had interrupted, Han Zhao returned to the main topic.

"Yes." Lian Chengyu told the truth.

"The Chu Country's Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic

Family joined forces to fight against our local aristocratic families in Yi Province. In the end, we were defeated. Many aristocratic families were wiped out by the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family." Lian Chengxue explained.

"We, the defeated descendants of the aristocratic families, can only run in all directions. Eldest Sister, Third Sister, and I brought… Ugh!"

Lian Chengxue was halfway through her sentence when Lian Chengyu covered her mouth tightly and glared at her fiercely as if she wanted to eat her.

She nodded in fear. After Lian Chengyu let go of her, she whispered, "Big Sister… I'll shut up. I won't speak anymore."

"Are the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family that strong?" Han Zhao asked.

"Yes," Lian Chengyu replied. "Just like the Five Great Surnames of Great Wei, they are all Spirit Beast Families. They inherit the bloodline of ancient spirit beasts.

The descendants of spirit beast families could compete with top martial artists of the same level at the peak of martial arts a thousand years ago.

Disciples of aristocratic families who had awakened the bloodline of spirit beasts could both cultivate martial arts and focus on stimulating the power of their bloodline. Moreover, because of the rich vitality in their bodies, it was easier for them to be recognized by divine weapons.

Therefore, spirit beast families were slightly stronger than divine weapon families of the same level.

The Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family were both top spirit beast aristocratic families.

The White Tiger Aristocratic Family inherited the white tiger bloodline, while the Hundred Spirit Sect inherited the bloodline of various bird-type spirit beasts.

The current Great Wei's Cao family was a spirit beast aristocratic family with the bloodline of the Nine Li Battle Beast.

"I see." Han Zhao came to a realization. No wonder Chu dared to invade the Great Wei. The so-called national war was just a battle between these aristocratic families.

Could these people be here to snatch his Essence Soul Bead?

Han Zhao immediately felt immense pressure.

However, there was no hurry for the time being. He had to hide and develop first.

In any case, Chu Country would not invade until he was 26 years old. As long as he simulated it in advance and moved, there was still time.

Previously, he had not moved from the simulation and had been living well in Cloud Prefecture.

Next, Han Zhao asked about the Divine Weapon Family and the Spirit Beast

Family.

Lian Chengyu did not hide anything.

It turned out that the Divine Weapon Family called the black membrane formed by the Yin energy and the power that filled their bodies "Binding Force".

At the Bind-level, with every increase in Binding Force, there would be an additional black membrane vein. There could at most be seven veins.

The first vein of the Bind-level corresponded to the level of Force Tempering for martial artists, and the second vein of the Bind-level corresponded to the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering.

From the third vein onwards, there would be a qualitative change. It was equivalent to a martial artist at the Visceral Tempering Realm. This level was considered an expert in the aristocratic family.

In the Visceral Tempering Realm, one had to integrate Internal Force into their internal organs according to the order of the heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and liver. They also had to integrate Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood Qi. Only then could they face Binding Force head-on.

The Bind-level from three to seven veins corresponded to the Visceral Tempering Realm from one qi to five qi.

After the Bind-level was the Snake-level. The black membrane formed an

Indestructible Black Snake that corresponded to the martial artist's Fiend

Condensation Martial Saint.

Experts at this level were all famous people in a prefecture.

As for the spirit beast aristocratic family, they had a separate system that was divided according to the degree of bloodline awakening.

The first awakening was equivalent to a Force Tempering Martial Master, the second awakening was equivalent to a Visceral Tempering Grandmaster, and the third awakening was equivalent to a Fiend Condensation Martial Saint.

From the fourth to sixth awakening, it was equivalent to the Divine Power Martial God Realm.

The comparison between the spirit beast aristocratic family and the divine weapon aristocratic family was relatively blurry. This was because there were many types of spirit beasts, and the power of divine weapons was also strange.

As for the three sisters of the Lian family, according to Lian Chengyu, they were just unranked characters in a small aristocratic family. They had not even awakened their bloodlines and could not even defeat a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist.

Han Zhao felt that Lian Chengyu was hiding something, but he did not probe further. There was no need to cause trouble.

It was enough to obtain a large sum of money and information on this trip.

Speaking of which, he had not encountered these three Lian sisters in the previous simulation.

This was because there was no system notification in the simulation. Even if these three women stood opposite him, he could not tell that they were from an aristocratic family.

After asking for information, Han Zhao returned to the front yard and gave the women in the village some travel expenses. He let them decide if they wanted to stay or go. If they had a home, they could go home. If they were homeless, they could stay in the village.

After that, he got someone to report it to the officials and let them collect the corpses.

With Song Que's name, the government would give him some face.

When the news of him flattening the Flying Dragon Stockade alone spread, the other bandits would definitely not dare to provoke him.

As for the three Lian sisters, they chose to leave on their own.

Before leaving, Lian Chengxue even told Han Zhao that they were preparing to settle down in Nine Links Town and asked him to visit them when he had time, causing Lian Chengyu to roll her eyes.

After that, Han Zhao came to the entrance of the Flying Dragon Stockade and took out Qi Xings head from the grass. He rushed to Edge Sharpening Manor in Song Ques appearance and met Zhu Kangsheng alone. He personally handed Qi Xings head to him and completed the transaction.

Zhu Kangsheng knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He brought the heads to the back of the manor to pay respects to his deceased wife and son.

After fulfilling his wish, Zhu Kangsheng took the Afterlife Sword and Extraction Saber and asked Han Zhao to go to Edge Sharpening Manor in three months to complete the last step of reforging the saber and sword.

Watching Zhu Kangsheng leave with his saber and sword with a smile on his face, Han Zhao felt a little upset.

He had known Zhu Kangsheng for a few years. Although they had a business relationship, even if they were not friends, they were close.

"Sigh… In this world, only by becoming strong… Han Zhao sighed and returned to Blackrock City..

Chapter 79: Times Are Different, VIP Status

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studiosn

On the way back to Blackrock City, Han Zhao used the Bone Shrinking Technique to return to his original appearance.

According to the information in the simulation, today was the day Xu Ling successfully broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm. She had to celebrate

WWhen he arrived at the entrance of the martial arts school in Yejiang District, he could hear the cheers from inside.

"That's great!"

"Senior Sister Xu has also broken through!"

"Our martial arts school has another expert at the Blood Tempering Realm!

Han Zhao walked into the martial arts school.

Just like when Zhang Tianwen broke through back then, the apprentices of the martial arts school gathered in the outer courtyard and surrounded Xu Ling.

However, there was also a difference. Zhang Tianwen was usually arrogant and domineering. Although many senior and junior brothers celebrated his breakthrough, that was only relying on the strong. A considerable number of apprentices only smiled because they did not want to offend him.

Xu Ling was different. She was usually more straightforward and popular.

There were not many female disciples in the martial arts school to begin with. Moreover, she was a beauty and her family was very rich. Now that she had broken through, she received the sincere congratulations of most people.

"Junior Brother Han!

Xu Ling, who was in the middle of the crowd, looked around and saw Han Zhao standing at the door. She immediately skipped and waved at him.

"Congratulations !

Han Zhao walked forward.

"We're just waiting for you!" Xu Ling went up to him and hugged his arm generously.

"Roar!

The apprentices cheered.

"Damn it! I didn't even suffer such serious injuries during the gang war!" "Senior Brother Han really deserves to die! I'm not envious at all!" "Ah! M/hy doesn't any rich girl like me?! It's not fair!"

"You're so ugly. You should work hard and cultivate. Stop dreaming!' Some apprentices who had a good relationship with Han Zhao shouted.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the entrance.

Lu Yi, whose beard and hair were all white, walked in with steady footsteps. He said with a straight face, "All of you don't practice hard and only know how to M/hen the apprentices saw Lu Yi arrive, they stood with their hands by their sides, looking obedient.

"Very good! Very good!"

Lu Yi looked at Xu Ling and smiled in satisfaction.

Although everyone knew that Zhang Tianwen's death was caused by a Martial Master, it was still a disciple of his martial arts school who was killed in the inner city. In the end, even the murderer could not be found, which had a huge impact on the martial arts school.

Now that Xu Ling had successfully broken through, Lu Yi was very gratified.

Xu Ling had just turned 22 years old and had broken through eight to nine months earlier than Zhang Tianwen. The possibility of grasping Internal Force was even higher than Zhao Yuantu, who had just reached the second Blood Qi Breakthrough.

Although Xu Ling had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm and was already stable in inheriting the Xu familys family business, in order to prevent the Xu familys old man from being muddle-headed, as soon as she broke through, Lu Yi went to the inner city to inform a few large families.

The Martial Masters of the Martial Master Alliance were not allowed to participate in any conflict between factions, but it was not as if he did not have other methods.

As long as Xu Ling had a good relationship with the big families in the inner city, the matter of becoming the family head would be settled.

"What about you? You've been out a lot recently. Are you prepared to break through the bottleneck?"

Lu Yi glanced at Han Zhao.

Han Zhao smiled and blinked at Lu Yi.

"Kid, you're…" Lu Yi could not help but scold jokingly. He suddenly recalled the scene when Han Zhao broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm and could not help but widen his eyes. Could it be that this kid had already…

Lu Yi glanced at Han Zhao deeply, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Xu Ling, congratulations!" Su Yun, who had not appeared for a long time, rushed to the martial arts school.

Ever since the Taoyuan Village mission, the Su family had lost two Blood

Tempering Realm experts. Although she had recruited another Blood Tempering Realm martial artist after that, the Su familys business was still affected.

Furthermore, the newly recruited Blood Tempering expert had a big appetite and came from one of the five great families in the inner city. Su Yun also had a headache, so she didn't come to the martial arts school for a long time.

Xu Ling walked forward and held Su Yun's arm. She smiled and said, "Su Yun! If you hadn't come, I would have gone to look for you!'

"I really can't leave recently. You know my situation. You're the youngest Blood Tempering Realm cultivator in the martial arts school now. I'm really envious of you." Su Yun looked envious.

She was sincerely happy for Xu Ling, but when she thought about how she clearly had better aptitude and resources, but showed no signs of breaking through, she could not help but feel a little sad.

"Don't be anxious. You'll break through too. Take it slow." Xu Ling comforted her, but her gaze glanced at Han Zhao beside her.

In terms of the youngest… Junior Brother Han had broken through last year. He was probably close to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough now.

The Life Nurturing Technique played a huge role in her successful breakthrough this time.

After she mastered the First Level, her blood qi increased by 50%.

The blood qi of a perfected Bone Tempering Realm martial artist was at most

1.5 times that of an ordinary Skin Tempering Realm martial artist.

Because there was a limit to the human body.

A person's innate blood qi was limited, and the blood qi that could be cultivated postnatal was also limited. Their foundation and resources would affect the improvement of their blood qi.

She had never broken through because she felt that the total amount of blood qi was not enough. There was a high chance that she would fail if she forcefully broke through, so she was stuck at the bottleneck for two to three years.

Not to mention 50% more blood qi, even 10 to 20% more could greatly increase the probability of breaking through the bottleneck.

One could imagine how precious the Life Nurturing Technique was.

"Xu Ling, actually, I came this time to invite you to…" Su Yun's expression was a little unnatural. She wanted to invite Xu Ling to the Su family to help her share some of the pressure.

"The Wu family of the Anye district has arrived!

"The Wang family of the Yonghe District has arrived! ?A disciple's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Wang family?!

"The Wu family! ! "

The apprentices in the field exclaimed.

The five great families in the inner city all had Force Tempering Martial Masters.

Among them, the Wu family was the strongest, and the Wang family was second.

The Wang family had always been on good terms with the Wu family. It could almost be said that they were in the same boat. Therefore, Blackrock City was actually the world of the Wu family and the Wang family.

Only by joining forces could the other three families barely resist the Wu and Wang families.

"Could it be that he's here to invite Senior Sister Xu?" "Senior Sister Xu has such a great reputation?

The apprentices discussed.

When they realized that the people who walked into the martial arts school were actually the eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Bi, and the second son of the Wa_ng family, Wang Xie, they exploded.

"The eldest son of the Wu family and the second son of the Wang family?!" "Don't tell me he's here to propose marriage again?

"Martial Master Lu, long time no see." Wu Bi cupped his fists at Lu Yi.

"Greetings, Martial Master Lu." Wang Xie, who was beside Wu Bi, was also polite.

"Young Master Wu, Young Master Wang, I wonder why the two of you are here… Lu Yi returned the greeting with a smile and a puzzled expression.

These two people were the most outstanding geniuses of the current generation of the Wu and Wang families. They were already experts at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough in their early thirties. Their Internal Force was about the same.

Twenty to thirty years ago, he was still at his peak. Someone in the martial arts school had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm, so it was still possible for the Wu and Wang families to recruit him.

Now, why would the two families send someone over for Xu Ling? Moreover, the future patriarchs of the two families were present at the same time.

"The two of us came uninvited. Sorry to disturb you." Wu Bi smiled and said, "We heard that someone from your martial arts school has broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm again, so we specially came to congratulate you."

"Junior Sister Xu, you're not inferior to men. I've heard a lot about you." Wang Xie's face was filled with joy, and he looked like a graceful young master.

"We've already booked a private room on the top floor of the Drunken Moon Pavilion. I wonder if Junior Sister Xu is willing to do me the honor of gathering.

Wang Xie's words were basically saying that the Wu family and the Wang family were going to rope Xu Ling in.

"This must be Junior Brother Han, Junior Sister Xu's sweetheart, right? He's indeed imposing and extraordinarily handsome! Wang Xie changed the topic and smiled at Han Zhao beside Xu Ling.

His enthusiastic appearance made people who didn't know better think that he and Han Zhao were good friends.

"Junior Martial Brother Han shouldn't refuse our good intentions, right?" Wu Bi was all smiles.

The extraordinary enthusiasm of the two of them confused everyone.

Xu Ling was stunned.

Not to mention her, but even her father would not be treated so warmly by Wu Bi and Wang Xie.

"It's impolite for me to decline your kindness." Han Zhao reacted.

It seemed that County Magistrate Wu had revealed some of his connections with the Ji family, and these two young masters did not want to point it out on the spot, so they used the opportunity of Xu Lings breakthrough to indirectly build a good relationship with him.

It could even be said to be fawning over him.

With that, Han Zhao patted the stunned Xu Ling from behind.

"Oh… Okay!" Xu Ling came back to her senses.

"The two of you are indeed straightforward! Wang Xie cupped his fists. Seeing this, Wu Bi said to the frowning Lu Yi, "Martial Master Lu, do you…

"I won't interfere in the gathering of you young people."

Lu Yi waved his hand.

"In that case, we'll leave first. Junior Brother Han, Junior Sister Xu, the carriage is waiting outside. You can leave at any time." Wu Bi cupped his fists.

Before Wang Xie left, he added, "By the way, Junior Brother Han, Junior Sister Xu, if the two of you have any relatives and friends, you can bring them along. It'll be easier for us to get close."

"Okay." Han Zhao nodded.

Wu Bi and Wang Xie looked at each other and smiled before leaving the martial arts school.

Seeing that everyone was still discussing, Lu Yi said with a serious expression, "Disperse, disperse! Cultivate well. You will receive this treatment in the future!"

Then, he walked to Han Zhao's side and reminded him softly, "After the banquet ends, come to my room."

With that, Lu Yi walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Looking at his footsteps, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Yes, Master," Han Zhao replied.

Su Yun stared at Junior Martial Brother Han in front of her.

She realized that she had underestimated him from the beginning to the end.

Just now, the two young masters of the Wu and Wang families seemed to be inviting Xu Ling, but their gazes were always on Han Zhao. She saw it clearly.

In the past, she did not want Xu Ling to waste her time on Han Zhao out of concern for her friend.

She felt that Han Zhao's aptitude was average, and he was inexplicably arrogant. Other than his outstanding looks, he did not seem to have any good points. His future achievements were limited.

Later on, because of Song Que, her impression of Han Zhao changed, but she only felt that he was worthy of Xu Ling.

From the looks of it today, the two strongest families in Blackrock City treated him as an esteemed guest.

M/hy was that?

"Su Yun, Su Yun?" Xu Ling called out to Su Yun twice. Seeing that she did not react, she emphasized,

"Su Yun!" "Hmm?" "Shall we go to the banquet together?"

"Mm, okay!"

At night.

Drunken Moon Pavilion.

After three rounds of wine, Han Zhao apologized and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Xu Ling also stood up.

Wu Bi and Wang Xie sent the two of them to the door.

Han Zhao said a few words to Xu Ling and rushed towards the martial arts school alone.

Su Yun walked out of the restaurant and quickly caught up to Xu Ling.

"Xu Ling, Junior Brother Han…

Su Yun wanted to say something but hesitated. She was curious, but it was not easy to ask.

"It's actually very simple. Junior Brother Han has recently broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm," Xu Ling said with a smile. This was because Han Zhao was already prepared to confess to Lu Yi. The news would spread very quickly, so there was no need for her to hide it.

"What?! Junior Brother Han, he…" Su Yun 's body trembled and her eyes suddenly widened.

A 20-year-old Blood Tempering Realm!

He was a genius-like figure even in the prefecture capital.

Moreover, Han Zhao did not have a background, unlike them who did not have to worry about cultivation resources in the early stages. Otherwise, he might have broken through at the age of 18 or 19.

No wonder…

After a long silence, Su Yun sighed faintly. "Xu Ling, in terms of judgment… I'm inferior to you.."

Chapter 80: Sword and Saber Hero, Repayment

Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios

Bang!

Han Zhao returned to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy. Just as he walked into Lu Yi's door, he saw a huge fist that was as black as ink and like black jade suddenly smash towards his chest.

'l'he person who punched him was Lu Yi.

"Again?!" Han Zhao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He dodged Lu Yi's punch and slapped the back of Lu Yi l s hand, deflecting his punch.

"Good kid!" Sensing the huge force coming from Han Zhao's palm, Lu Yi's expression changed.

He grabbed Han Zhao's arm and rolled up his sleeve.

Looking at the clear mountain mark on Han Zhao's bloodshot and swollen arm, Lu Yi's pupils suddenly constricted.

Then, he rolled up his other sleeve, and the same mountain mark appeared.

"Double Blood Qi Breakthrough! Kid, you're so impressive!" Lu Yi was surprised and delighted, angry and amused.

"Master, would you believe me if I said that I just broke through recently?" Han Zhao smiled.

"F*ck off!

Three months was neither fast nor slow.

Han Zhao quickly received Zhu Kangshengs message.

Today was the day the saber and sword were successfully reforged. It was also the day he bade farewell to Zhu Kangsheng.

Han Zhao disguised himself as Song Que and headed to Edge Sharpening Manor.

As soon as he entered the manor, he was invited into the back hall by Manor Master Chu Tie.

When Han Zhao chose to be in Edge Sharpening Manor, he interacted with this Chu Tie and felt that he was not bad.

This was because Chu Tie was the same as Zhu Kangsheng. His family had also been persecuted by the Flying Dragon Stockade.

In addition, Zhu Kangsheng said that he could definitely be trusted. He also needed his help to reforge the saber and sword, so Han Zhao agreed to tell Chu Tie about this.

"Hero Song, Kang Sheng is inside." Chu Tie came to the door of the forging room in the back hall and stood still, gesturing for Han Zhao to enter while he stayed at the door.

This was the forging room specially used by the old blacksmiths in the manor. Ever since he reforged the saber and sword for Han Zhao, he had not allowed anyone else to use this place for a long time.

The people in the manor only knew that the main and deputy Manor Masters had accepted a huge order and had been forging day and night. They did not know anything else.

This was because the two of them would take turns guarding the door of the forging room to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

"Manor Master Chu, thank you." Han Zhao cupped his fists and walked in.

The moment he entered, he felt his body temperature suddenly increase. It was as if he had entered a sauna in summer. Every pore on his body was saying that he was hot.

Looking around, the forging room, which was about 30 square meters, had been emptied. Only Zhu Kangsheng stood in front of the Sword Forging Pool in the middle.

The rectangular sword-forging pool was covered with an unknown layer of black-red charcoal. The charcoal kept burning, spitting out purple-red flames that emitted a terrifying heat that seemed to be able to roast people.

In the Sword Forging Pool in the center of this ball of flames, a saber and a sword were stabbed diagonally on both sides.

At this moment, the swords and sabers were burning.

Han Zhao seemed to have an illusion that the saber and sword in the Sword Forging Pool seemed to be calling out to him.

"Brother Han, you're finally here." Zhu Kangsheng saw Han Zhao walking over and smiled happily. "You have to come personally to complete this last step!"

"Manor Master Zhu, you… Han Zhao wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to obtain a stronger weapon, but he didn't want Zhu Kangsheng to die for his saber and sword.

Unfortunately, there were many things that were difficult to achieve.

"Brother Han, you should have seen the incomplete forging technique. The only complete content in it is 'Sacrificial Refinement'! " Zhu Kangsheng walked forward and said seriously, "In a moment, I'll jump into the Sword Forging Pool when the furnace fire is at its strongest. After the saber and sword drink the blood of the forger, you have to use your own blood as a guide. Only then will there be hope for the saber and sword to be sentient and truly become a divine weapon that is connected to your mind."

"I understand." Han Zhao nodded.

Seeing that Han Zhao seemed to be unable to bear it, Zhu Kang.sheng smiled freely. "Brother Han, you don't have to feel sad for me. This is the happiest and most relaxed moment in my life. I've gotten my revenge and can use my life's work to forge a masterpiece. It's really a joy in my life!"

"Moreover, I have no regrets in my life to be able to forge weapons for a hero like you!'

Zhu Kangsheng came to the stone platform at the side and picked up the wine pot on it. He raised his head and took a big gulp before handing it to Han Zhao.

Han Zhao took the wine pot and drank the strong wine. His stomach seemed to be burning with a raging fire.

Zhu Kangsheng laughed loudly. Looking at the rolling fire snakes in the Sword Forging Pool, his eyes suddenly lit up. "It's time!"

With that, he picked up the wine pot and walked towards the steps of the Sword Forging Pool. His footsteps were steady and did not hesitate at all.

"Brother Zhu!" Han Zhao suddenly shouted.

Zhu Kangsheng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.

"Give the new saber a name?" Han Zhao did not say anything to persuade him to stay because that would disrespect the last will of a blacksmith.

"Killing to protect one's life, severing karma is not severing one's life." Zhu Kangsheng drank the wine in the pot in one gulp and strode to the edge of the Sword Forging Pool. The spitting fire snakes quickly ignited his pants and quickly climbed towards his body.

"Sword and Saber Hero, I'll repay you with my body! Good! Good!"

Zhu Kangsheng laughed loudly. He opened his hands and jumped into the Sword Forging Pool as if he was hugging someone.

Boom!

The flames instantly engulfed his body. The surging fire snake jumped more than 30 feet high as if it wanted to overturn the roof.

Seeing this, Han Zhao tapped the ground with his Wind Riding Leg and used his Life Nurturing True Qi to protect his body. He jumped up to the top of the Sword Forging Pool. The short knife cut his wrist, and blood gushed out. It fell from the front and dripped onto the sabers and swords in the pool.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Like water droplets dripping into a boiling pot of oil, the sabers and swords in the Sword Forging Pool instantly reacted violently.

'l'he flames quickly began to converge, and the originally pitch-black saber and sword changed.

The sword body turned from black to white, like silver frost.

The blade turned from black to red, like the setting sun.

A feeling of blood connection came from the sword and saber.

In an instant, the flames in the Sword Forging Pool disappeared. The high temperature that seemed to be able to melt people just now had already disappeared.

Han Zhao landed at the edge of the Sword Forging Pool and controlled the muscles in his wrist to compress and stop the bleeding. At the same time, he grabbed with both hands and sucked the saber and sword into his palm through his true qi.

The sword and blade were cold and did not look like they had just been forged.

Han Zhao focused his gaze on the Sword Forging Pool and saw that other than the black charcoal that had been extinguished, there were no remains of Zhu Kangsheng. His bones, blood, essence, and spirit seemed to have all been nourished by this peerless saber and sword.

"Killing to protect one's life, severing karma is not severing one's life." Looking at the scarlet demonic saber in his hand, Zhu Kangshengs words appeared in Han Zhao's mind. He said happily, "In that case, I'll call you the Severing Karma Saber."

Buzz-

As soon as Han Zhao finished speaking, the Severing Karma Saber seemed to have a mind of its own. The entire saber trembled slightly in his hand.

An emotion similar to joy was transmitted from the saber.

"The Severing Karma Saber has gained sentience!

Buzz buzz buzz!

As if sensing Han Zhao's joy, the Afterlife Sword in his left hand trembled.

"The Afterlife Sword has also gained sentience!

Han Zhao crossed his saber and sword in front of him and bowed deeply to the

Sword Forging Pool.

"Brother Zhu, may peace be with you.."

Chapter 81: Afterlife Sword, Severing Karma Saber, Meeting a Martial Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Afterlife Sword, Severing Karma Saber: It contains the life's work and will of the forger. It has already obtained a certain amount of spirituality. It has changed from ordinary iron to a Spirit Artifact, allowing you to directly comprehend the true meaning of the Sword Dao and Saber Dao. It has infinite possibilities and great potential. It is recommended to spend money to nurture it.]

When Han Zhao equipped the hilt and handle of the sword, a system notification appeared in his vision.

[The proficiency of the Sword and Saber Duo has increased. The Saber Dao Aptitude has increased by six times. The Sword Dao Aptitude has increased by six times.]

As the saber and sword communicated with each other, the proficiency of the Trait also rose.

Immediately after, more details appeared at the bottom of the system interface.

Afterlife Sword—spirit Artifact Grade: Unranked

Spirituality: 2% (Upgradeable)

Sword Intent: 2%

Special Effect: Qi Gathering Level 1

Severing Karma Saber—spirit Artifact

Grade: Unranked

Spirituality: 1% (Upgradeable)

Saber Intent: 2% Effect: Bloodthirst Level 1

"Spirit Artifact?"

"Upgradeable means… Could it be that attribute points can also increase the spirituality of the saber and sword? Spirit Artifacts can also become living weapons like divine weapons?"

Han Zhao recalled the incomplete Art of Forging that recorded the 'Sacrificial

Refinement'.

He originally thought that it was an evil Art of Forging that specialized in forging divine weapons.

From the looks of it, the first four words on the cover of the Art of Forging, Divine Weapon Spirit, should be 'Divine Weapon Spirit Artifact'.

A feeling of blood connection came from the saber and sword. An idea suddenly appeared in Han Zhao's mind.

Ji Zhuling said that the Weapon Master of the Divine Weapon Family had to serve the Divine Weapon wholeheartedly and prioritize all the needs of the Divine Weapon.

As existences at the same level as Weapon Masters, the Divine Power Martial God might be using more obedient weapons.

"Perhaps Martial God is using a Spirit Artifact. However, Spirit Artifacts have to be nurtured step by step to become stronger, so Martial God is the master." Han Zhao thought to himself.

He could feel the intimacy between the spirituality of the saber and sword, like a child clinging to his family.

"Let's give it a try." Han Zhao pulled out the Afterlife Sword and circulated the Life Nurturing True Qi in his body, injecting it into the sword.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The sword which was like silver frost trembled slightly, emitting a sound similar to a sword hum. Soon, it was covered by a layer of green-white light.

"It's as if the Afterlife Sword is part of my body. I can use it like my arm. It's an unprecedented feeling!"

"Is this the special effect of Qi Gathering? It's indeed powerful!"

Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

Although the Afterlife Sword was still useful in the past, it would definitely not be like now.

The Life Nurturing True Qi in his body had just come into contact with the sword body when it could instantly cover it according to his will. He could also instantly retract his true qi.

This could completely take him by surprise in battle.

"Hmm? The sword qi that I nurtured in the Afterlife Sword previously actually didn't disappear with the reforging?!" As true qi filled the Afterlife Sword, Han Zhao realized that the sword body's capacity for true qi had increased greatly. Moreover, he found an extremely sharp sword qi deep in the sword body.

This was the sword qi that he had nurtured for nearly two years.

Previously, when he was dealing with the Deputy Incense Master of the Blood Spirit Hall, he had used a tenth of his sword qi to see how powerful it was. In the end, he instantly killed the Deputy Incense Master of the Blood Spirit Hall with a single strike.

The power of the sword qi was quite extraordinary, but it was also related to the fact that the Deputy Incense Master of the Blood Spirit Hall was slightly weaker. After all, it was only the first Blood Qi Breakthrough.

"The remaining 90% of the sword qi is unused. In addition, the Afterlife Sword has become a Spirit Artifact. The power it can unleash is definitely far greater than before it was reforged." Han Zhao revealed a look of joy.

He originally thought that after the Afterlife Sword was reforged, the sword qi would automatically disappear. He did not expect it to still be there.

What a pleasant surprise.

"Clang- ' Han Zhao put the Afterlife Sword into the scabbard and began to examine the Severing Karma Saber.

The scarlet blade had a hint of demonic charm. Compared to the Afterlife Sword, the spirituality emitted from the Severing Karma Saber had a hint of excitement.

"Bloodthirst?" Han Zhao's heart trembled as he muttered to himself, "Are you yearning for blood?"

Buzz-

The Severing Karma Saber let out a buzzing sound.

Ding!

Han Zhao stretched out his index finger and gently flicked the scarlet blade. He smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. There will be a chance."

The Severing Karma Saber seemed to understand his words, and the buzzing gradually stopped.

Han Zhao sheathed the Severing Karma Saber and couldn't help but think to himself, Why do I feel like I'm playing a cultivation-type management game?

Thinking about it carefully, attribute points could be used to increase and deduce cultivation methods. They could also increase cultivation methods for Yu Niang, who was related to him by blood. They could also increase the spirituality of Spirit Artifacts. They were really useful.

However, a clever housewife could not cook without ingredients.

He was not short of money now, but he lacked Yin energy.

The system balance still had 170 taels of gold.

Previously, when he sold the cultivation method and the money Ji Zhuling gave him, he still had 2,000 taels left. Three months ago, Qi Xing contributed another 3,500 taels.

After Lu Yi spread the news that he had broken through to the Blood

Tempering Realm, the Li, Wu, and Wang families came looking for him.

He was alone in the name of three large families with Force Tempering Martial Masters. Every month, just the salary in name alone was 100 taels of silver.

"Fortunately, my current aptitude is not so bad that it makes people speechless. My progress is not too slow by relying on myself to cultivate. This time, I'll go back and save some Yin energy. I'll directly add some Vajra Technique and increase my aptitude."

Last time, he did not add all the points to the Vajra Technique mainly because after several consecutive simulations, he would encounter Force Tempering Martial Masters after reforging his saber and sword.

Although it was a close call, he did not want to be injured.

After all, he had no background and had to come out to earn cultivation resources himself. Otherwise, he could always hide in the city and rely on the Yin energy naturally absorbed by the Essence Soul Bead to simulate and add points to slowly grind the Vajra Technique to the Second Level.

Next, when Xu Ling took over the family business, he could live off her for a period of time.

Han Zhao had specially disguised himself during this saber forging. Other than Zhu Kangsheng, no one knew his true identity.

Moreover, he had recently killed the traitor of Edge Sharpening Manor, and the time he came today was different from the simulation.

In theory, he would not encounter a Force Tempering Martial Master.

"Forget it." Han Zhao shook his head and laughed. There was no need to think too much.

He was much stronger than when he encountered a Force Tempering Martial Master in the simulation.

Not to mention that the Life Nurturing Technique had been raised to a level comparable to a third Blood Qi Breakthrough, he had already cultivated the Wind Riding Leg, Yin Fiend Palm, and Mountain Shaking Fist to the Second Level in just these few months.

He had put in the most effort on the Wind Riding Leg and was already at 55% of the perfection of the Second Level. It would only take a few months for him to break through to the Third Level.

Even if he could not defeat a Force Tempering Martial Master, it was not a problem for him to retreat unscathed.

Han Zhao hung his saber and sword at his waist and walked out of the forging room.

"Hero Song, Brother Zhu…" When Chu Tie saw Han Zhao walk out, he hurriedly went up to him.

"Brother Zhu has already sacrificed himself," Han Zhao said in a low voice.

As he spoke, he took off the Severing Karma Saber and the Afterlife Sword from his waist and handed them to Chu Tie.

"This is Brother Zhu's peerless work."

"Thank you." Zhu Tie took the saber and sword.

Clang!

Chu Tie pulled out his saber and sword at the same time. He looked at the natural saber and sword body with complicated emotions in his eyes. Then, he sheathed his saber and sword and returned them with both hands.

"Brother Zhu was able to obtain a confidant like Hero Song before he died. It's enough to smile in the underworld." Chu Tie's eyes were filled with tears. He had heard Zhu Kangsheng's shout clearly.

"Manor Master Chu, I will come to Edge Sharpening Manor again in the future.

If it's within my ability, I will make a move once."

Before Han Zhao left, he made a promise. His meeting with Zhu Kangsheng was not in vain.

"Great Hero Song is so righteous!"

Looking at Han Zhao's departing figure, Chu Tie bowed.

In this world, there were not many heroes left.

After Han Zhao left Edge Sharpening Manor, he prepared to make a trip to Nine Links Town.

Last time, Lian Chengxue told him to take a look when he had time. Coincidentally, he still had some things to ask.

If he could communicate with Lian Chengxue alone, he might even be able to ask what color her undergarments were.

Thinking of this. Han Zhao auicklv rushed toward Nine Links Town.

However, halfway through, Han Zhao stopped in his tracks when he passed by a forest.

"Sir, you've been following me all the way. Why don't you show yourself?"

"Good kid, you're really sharp." A capable old man with muscles all over his body and a steel spear on his back walked out.

[Force Tempering Martial Master, Internal Force Protection, Internal Force can be activated at will. One arm can easily possess 500 kilograms of strength… I wonder if he has a good habit of carrying money with him.]

"You're Meng Jue?" Han Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Since you know me, if you surrender now, I might spare your life." Meng Jue was not surprised. As a Force Tempering Martial Master, it was abnormal for him not to know him in Blackrock City.

"Spare my life?" Han Zhao chuckled. "It's hard to say who will spare who."

"You arrogant brat!" Meng Jue was furious. His arms shook, and the cloth belt binding the steel spear snapped. He raised the spear and stabbed..

Chapter 82: Bloodthirsty Saber, A Sword that Splits Worlds, Slaying a Martial Master!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Clang!

The Severing Karma Saber suddenly unsheathed and transformed into a red streamer that accurately slashed at the tip of the steel spear. Sparks flew in all directions, and a huge buzzing sound sounded in his ears.

"What great strength!"

Sensing the terrifying power transmitted from the saber, Han Zhao's wrist trembled slightly.

In fact, in terms of strength, he was not inferior to a Force Tempering Martial Master at all. However, Meng Jue's strength also contained domineering Internal Force.

In terms of the strength of his Internal Force alone, Han Zhao was inferior to him.

However, he had never relied solely on Internal Force. When this domineering Internal Force entered his body, it was offset by the powerful blood qi and true qi in his body.

"Huh?!" Meng Jue's expression changed. A blow with 70% of its power actually failed to take down Song Que.

me nau even useu ms Internal rorce wnen ne came. une otner party LOOK ms spear head-on and did not even move back before dissipating his strength.

Slash-

Meng Jue held the steel spear tightly with both hands. The blood qi in his entire body surged, and his muscles quickly swelled with blood, causing his already muscular muscles to instantly bulge like a rock sculpture. His body expanded even more, and the black short-sleeved clothes on his upper body burst open, revealing exaggerated muscles that looked like sabers and axes. He was filled with an explosive and terrifying power.

Soul Chasing!

The spear shot out like a dragon. Terrifying power and Internal Force gathered at the tip of the spear, and the sharp sound of the air being torn apart seemed to be able to cut through one's eardrums.

Clang, clang, clang!!

Han Zhao saw that Meng Jue's momentum was exaggerated and wanted to dodge it, but he realized that after the other party's body expanded, his strength increased greatly. His speed was not affected at all. Instead, he became even faster.

For a moment, he was suppressed by Meng Jue's series of high-frequency spears. Even if he used the Wind Riding Leg, he could not pull away.

Soul Snatching!

Clang!

Meng Jue turned his spear around and swept it horizontally. Han Zhao could not dodge in time and blocked with his saber with both hands. He was forced back ten meters by this huge force.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Han Zhao had just stabilized himself when the Severing Karma Saber in his hand emitted a buzzing sound. Excitement kept transmitting over.

"Are you excited too? Don't be anxious."

Han Zhao muttered softly. He felt the blood qi in his entire body surging, and his heart was pounding. The Life Nurturing True Qi in his dantian seemed to be alive, emitting pulses like a heartbeat. It was as if a ball of raging flames was burning in his body, and he wanted to vent it.

Meng Jue saw that Song Que had been sent flying and stood motionless with his saber. He felt that he had reached his limit, so he said,

"To be able to withstand two of my full-strength shots, you can be considered one of the best in the Blood Tempering Realm. It's not too late to surrender!"

Hearing Meng Jue's voice, Han Zhao was suddenly stunned. He looked up with a puzzled gaze.

"What? You've already used your full strength?!"

"You're courting death!" Looking at Song Que's 'surprise' and 'contempt', Meng Jue felt that he was about to explode from anger.

As a Force Tempering Martial Master, he had dominated Blackrock City for decades. This was the first time he had been underestimated by a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist.

"This kid is not an ordinary Blood Tempering Realm martial artist. He has already cultivated Internal Force!" Meng Jue quickly calmed down. He had indeed used his full strength in his normal state for the two shots just now.

The greatest advantage of a Martial Master against a Blood Tempering Realm cultivator was their huge Internal Force. As long as there was physical contact, the Martial Master's Internal Force could enter the enemy's body.

Unless they also used Internal Force to fight, it was very difficult to resist.

Even if one's body was strong enough to take it head-on, if the Internal Force penetrated the body and injured one's internal organs, no martial artist would be able to escape death.

"I'll show you my full strength!" The True Qi in Han Zhao's dantian had long been unable to hold back. Under his guidance, it was like a river flowing into a tributary, connecting all the meridians in his body. The sound of waves flowing came from his body.

Under the infusion of true qi, the originally scarlet blade of the Severing Karma Saber shone with a red light, making it look even more demonic.

Spirit Deity Style!

Meng Jue used the strongest move he had not used in many years. This was the ultimate move he would use when fighting a Force Tempering Martial Master in his early years.

The surface of the black spear was covered in a faint blood light.

Meng Jue's muscular arms expanded again. They were three times as thick as an ordinary adult.

This move was determined to kill this kid with a single shot!

With a loud clang, the blood-red saber and the black spear collided head-on, emitting a huge sound. The boundless power caused the two of them to tremble and immediately separate.

"That was close!" Han Zhao looked down at his chest.

A huge crack appeared in his white clothes, almost extending across his chest, revealing the black leather armor inside.

As long as Meng Jue exerted a little more strength, the spear would be able to pierce through the leather armor that was stuck to the iron plate and then pierce the steel plate on his chest.

Trickle…

Trickle…

Blood kept dripping from Meng Jue's left arm.

"This is… the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique?! Who is Lu Yi to you?" The flesh on Meng Jue's left arm rolled up, and the wound was about half a foot long. He revealed an incredulous expression. He actually did not have the advantage in a head-on clash and even suffered a small loss.

"It seems that your full strength is inferior to my full strength." Han Zhao chuckled. Although he looked relaxed on the surface, he was very careful in his heart. Other than not using the Afterlife Sword, he had almost used his full strength.

Indeed, no one who could grasp Internal Force was weak.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Severing Karma Saber trembled again, and the Bloodthirst aura surged.

"You…" Meng Jue was furious. He controlled the muscles in his arm to contract and stop the bleeding.

"Something's not right! There's something wrong with your saber?!" Meng Jue sensed that something was wrong. The muscles in his arm had already squeezed the wound into a line of blood, but he still could not stop the bleeding.

He panicked.

Although the wound on his left arm looked terrifying and was more than half a foot long, as long as it was not a vital injury, it was only a superficial wound for a Force Tempering Martial Master. It did not have much impact on the battle.

However, if he could not stop the bleeding, this injury would quickly kill him. "Is this Bloodthirst?" Han Zhao brought the Severing Karma Saber in front of him. When he cut Meng Jue's arm just now, the blade seemed to have absorbed Meng Jue's blood. Now, it was so red that it seemed to be dripping blood.

At this moment, a weak blood essence power returned to Han Zhao's body from the saber, replenishing a portion of his expended blood essence and stamina.

"Huh?!" Han Zhao's eyes changed and his pupils constricted.

As if sensing Han Zhao's surprise, the Severing Karma Saber also emitted a happy emotion. It was like a child who had been praised by an adult and could not help but cheer.

"Good job. I'll let you drink the blood of a Martial Master soon." Han Zhao held the Severing Karma Saber tightly and chuckled.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As if dissatisfied with Han Zhao's favoritism, the Afterlife Sword that had yet to be unsheathed emitted a sword hum.

It was not until Han Zhao reached out his left hand to hold the hilt that the Afterlife Sword stopped trembling.

"Saber intent?!" Seeing that Song Que, who was holding a saber, seemed to have fused with the saber, Meng Jue was shocked.

A Blood Tempering Realm martial artist could actually comprehend saber intent and reach the realm of almost becoming one with the saber.

Moreover, there was something wrong with his weapon.

This was Meng Jue's first time facing a martial artist whose cultivation realm was lower than his. He felt timid.

"I've said it before. It's hard to say who will spare whom." Han Zhao clenched the Afterlife Sword in his left hand and began to accumulate true qi.

Although he should be able to exhaust Meng Jue to death with the Severing Karma Saber, this place was not far from Nine Links Town after all. If he delayed for too long and another Force Tempering Martial Master came, he would be the one in trouble.

Sensing Han Zhao's cold killing intent, a fierce a glint flashed in Meng Jue's eyes.

With the advantage of the realm, blood qi, and Internal Force, he might not lose. He could not be timid. He had to end the battle quickly!

Soul Chasing Spear, Spirit Deity Three Styles!

Meng Jue gathered all the qi and blood in his body in his arms. Soul Chasing! Soul Snatching! Spirit Deity! All three forms were used at the same time!

When he was young, he had once used this move to kill a Martial Master of the same level. It was the same now.

At this moment, just as Meng Jue's aura was about to accumulate to the limit, he suddenly realized that Han Zhao had moved.

"Clang!"

The sound of a sword being drawn rang out. Meng Jue only felt a sword light that was like frost whistling over. In the next second, his vision was covered in blood light.

Thump!

"Sword intent? Saber intent? I'm dead?" Meng Jue looked at the headless body that had fallen to the ground. There was a scarlet long saber stuck in his chest, and blood kept flowing into the saber.

Force Tempering Martial Masters had extremely strong vitality. Even if they were beheaded, they did not die immediately.

Meng Jue's face was filled with fear, confusion, doubt, and unwillingness.

How could a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist be so strong?

Even a grandmaster realm martial artist did not dare to say that he could definitely enter the domain of 'intent'. A Blood Tempering Realm martial artist had comprehended saber intent and sword intent at the same time and happened to encounter it. Why?

With unwillingness, Meng Jue closed his eyes forever.

"Huff huff Han Zhao panted slightly. Most of the true qi in his body had disappeared at once, and an empty feeling appeared, making him a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the Severing Karma Saber that was drinking blood crazily, he hurriedly squatted down and searched the corpse.

In the end, he only found a thousand taels.

[Force Tempering Martial Masters are indeed rich. Kill a few more. Actually…]

"Damn it!"

Chapter 83: The Longevitv Sect Takes the Blame, Striking

First

Translator: Atlas Studios?????? Editor: Atlas Studios

"A Force Tempering Martial Master is so poor?!"

Han Zhao couldn't help but curse softly.

That strike just now had used more than half of his true qi and even released half of the sword qi nurtured in the Afterlife Sword to kill Meng Jue.

1,000 taels could only be considered a marginal fee.

He was so poor, yet he still learned how to rob others!

He did not even develop the good habit of carrying secret manuals with him.

Meng Jue's spear technique looked very powerful. If only he had the secret manual with him.

It was not until the Severing Karma Saber absorbed all the blood qi in Meng Jue's body and the data on the system interface changed that Han Zhao shifted his attention. Severing Karma Saber—spirit Artifact

Grade: Unranked

Spirituality: 2% (Upgradeable)

Saber Intent: 3%

Effect: Bloodthirst Level 2

"The spirituality and saber intent have increased by 1%, and the Bloodthirst level has also increased by one level. This…"

Killing a Force Tempering Martial Master had increased the attributes of the

Severing Karma Saber in all aspects. This was something he had not expected.

Although it was not an exaggerated increase, if he killed a few more Force Tempering Martial Masters…

Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

Although he would not deliberately kill to increase the power of the Severing Karma Saber, no matter how stable and low-key he was, the higher he went, the easier it was for him to encounter unavoidable battles.

In any case, they were already enemies. There was not much difference in how they died.

Instead of wasting it, it was better to become nourishment for the Severing Karma Saber. It could also resolve the karma of the other party taking the initiative to provoke him.

"Fortunately, this spear should be quite valuable."

Han Zhao picked up Meng Jue's steel spear and unscrewed it from the middle. He split it into two and wrapped it in cloth.

"I have to go!"

Hearing footsteps coming from the forest not far away, Han Zhao circulated his blood qi and gathered it towards his legs. He used the Wind Riding Leg and left the scene.

"It's there. There was the commotion of a battle just now!"

"Quick, take a look."

"Someone's dead."

Not long after Han Zhao left, four martial artists in black clothes and weapons rushed to the scene. The four of them were all Bone Tempering Realm martial artists.

"Damn it! I'm late. Otherwise, I could have picked up something!" One of the rough-looking men spat on the ground.

"There's something wrong with the corpse!"

"The head is over there. Let's see if it's some unlucky guy we know."

"Let me see… Hiss!" Another sinister-looking young man picked up the head and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he looked at the rough man and said with a trembling voice, "Big… Big Brother, fortunately, we're late!" "What do you mean?" The rough man frowned.

The sinister-looking young man turned his head around, revealing Meng Jue's old face with wide eyes.

"Oh my god! Is this f*cking Meng Jue?!"

"Who is it?!"

"The head of the Meng family, a Force Tempering Martial Master!

The other two hurriedly went forward.

"Not good! Only a Martial Master can kill a Force Tempering Martial Master. The other party might not have gone far! Run!" The rough man shouted and ran.

"Brother, wait for us!"

The other three were scared out of their wits. They really hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.

In less than an hour, the Meng family and the people from the county office arrived at the scene.

The people from the Meng family were four registered elders of the Blood Tempering Realm and Meng Jue's relatives.

The people from the county office were the eldest young master of the Wu family, Wu Bi, the chief constable of the county office, Wu Feiyi, and a group of bailiffs.

The Meng family disciples surrounded Meng Jue's corpse and wailed.

They had not only lost a family member but also the Meng family's stabilizing force.

There were only two Force Tempering Martial Masters in the Meng family. The other was Meng Jue's younger brother, Meng Su. However, Meng Su had already gone to the prefecture capital to develop in the early years and settled down in the prefecture capital.

Even if Meng Su returned to Blackrock City to avenge Men Jue out of brotherhood, they didn't even know who the murderer was.

Moreover, Meng Su's strength was not much stronger than Meng Jue's. Meng Su might not be able to deal with an expert who could kill Meng Jue.

With Meng Jue's death, without the Force Tempering Martial Master holding down the fort, the Meng family's status as one of the five great families of Blackrock City would be lost.

The resources controlled by the Meng family would definitely be greatly reduced, which meant that internal competition would intensify.

Some of the profligate sons among them could have used Meng Jue's reputation to lord over Blackrock City, but they probably wouldn't be able to do so in the future.

"According to the wound, it should be a sword wound on the neck and a saber wound on the heart. However, we don't know the situation of the attacker yet. It might be a Martial Master who's good at sabers and swords, or two Martial

Masters who attacked together with a saber and a sword."

Wu Feiyi squatted beside Meng Jue's headless corpse and conducted a preliminary inspection based on his many years of work experience.

"Looking at the footprints, there's only Martial Master Meng and another person. However, we can't rule out the possibility that the murderer faked the scene."

Wu Bi frowned slightly.

The matter of Meng Zhi being killed in the inner city had yet to be investigated. Now that Meng Jue was killed outside Nine Links Town, troublesome matters came one after another.

Wu Feiyi continued to examine Meng Jue's corpse and added, "Martial Master Meng's body is a little shriveled. It seems that he used a supreme move that greatly consumed his blood qi before he died."

Blackrock City, together with the nearby affiliated villages, fortresses, and villages, had at least 200,000 to 300,000 people. On the surface, there were only 20 to 30 Martial Masters.

Even if they included those in the dark, it would at most double. This also included the various Martial Masters who were heading to the prefecture capital to develop.

According to his understanding, there were not many people who could kill Meng Jue.

At this moment, County Magistrate Wu Di rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone from the Meng family hurriedly surrounded him.

"The county magistrate is here!"

"County Magistrate Wu, you have to uphold justice for our Meng family! "

Wu Di glanced at Meng Jue's slightly shriveled corpse and his pupils constricted. He immediately said in a low voice, "I'll naturally investigate this matter. You guys can disperse first!"

Although there were still some people who were unwilling to leave, facing Wu Di, who had reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering, the Meng family could only return and wait for news.

"Take the body back to the county office."

"Yes!"

Under Wu Di's instructions, the bailiffs carried Meng Jue's corpse on a stretcher.

"Why is it so light?"

The two guards carrying the stretcher exerted strength at the same time, but they suddenly realized that although Meng Jue was tall and looked very heavy, his corpse was unimaginably light.

"Light?" Wu Feiyi was stunned when he heard this and prepared to go forward to check.

Wu Bi caught a glimpse of Wu Di's gaze and immediately ordered, "Bring the corpse to the county office first!"

"Yes!" The two bailiffs immediately moved.

The onlookers who had rushed over after hearing the news were pointing at him. As the strongest expert in Blackrock City, Wu Di was naturally recognized by someone with sharp eyes.

Returning to the county office, Wu Di dismissed his left and right, leaving only wu Bi.

Wu Di held the autopsy saber and personally cut open Meng Jue's chest.

"This is…" Looking at Meng Jue's shriveled internal organs, Wu Bi's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Only the Blood Spirit Policy of the Longevity Sect can do this. Moreover…" Wu Di's face was as dark as water as he pointed at Meng Jue's head, "Look at Meng Jue's expression."

"An expression?!" Wu Bi was stunned for a moment. He saw that Meng Jue's shock and unwillingness before his death still lingered on his face, looking like he had died with remaining grievances.

It seemed normal to have such an expression before death. Wu Bi had seen it many times.

"Some time ago, I discovered that the Meng family was secretly in contact with the Zhang family. After investigation, I discovered that they were also related to the Longevity Sect," Wu Di said in a low voice.

"Longevity Sect? Didn't the Hall Master of the Blood Spirit Hall agree to…" Wu Bi's expression changed and he finally reacted.

"Father, you're saying that the people from the Blood Spirit Hall pretended to gain the Meng family's trust and tricked Meng Jue out. They ambushed him at close range and killed him, pretending to have an intense battle."

"That's possible." Wu Di nodded. "The people of the Longevity Sect are not trustworthy to begin with. I agreed to cooperate with them because I had no choice."

"Father, what should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see. The Meng family doesn't have a Martial Master anymore, so there's no need to pay attention to them."

"Yes!"

In the inner city. Xu Jin's residence.

"Bang!"

Xu Jin threw a porcelain vase worth hundreds of taels to the ground and smashed it into pieces.

"Ah—! Old fart! Why?! I'm the eldest son!" Xu Jin picked up the crumpled letter on the table and let out a furious roar.

"Second Young Master! Second Young Master! Ah!"

At this moment, a young maidservant who was about 16 or 17 years old barged into the room. When she saw the porcelain shards on the ground and the ferocious-looking Xu Jin, she was shocked.

"Lü Zhu? What are you still doing here?! Don't you know that your Miss is about to become the family head?" Xu Jin's eyes were red and his expression was crazy.

"Second Young Master, what are you talking about?" Lü Zhu was stunned. "Take a look for yourself!" Xu Jin grabbed the crumpled letter and threw it at Lü Zhu.

Lü Zhu took the letter and opened it. She looked shocked. "Master is coming back? Does he already know about Third Miss's breakthrough?"

"How is it? Are you happy?" Xu Jin asked coldly.

When Lü Zhu heard this, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. She went forward and hugged Xu Jin's arm. She said coquettishly, "Second Young

Master, what are you talking about? I'm on your side."

"On my side? You're doing that to become my wife!" Xu Jin sneered.

"Doesn't that mean that Second Young Master and I are on the same side?" Lü Zhu said with a smile.

"With my previous attitude towards Xu Ling, do you think she will spare me when she becomes the head of the family?"

"Since that's the case, let's make Third Miss unable to be the family head."

"What do you mean?"

"Second Young Master, I came to tell you that I just received news that the head of the Meng family, Martial Master Meng Jue, was killed outside Nine Links

Town."

"What? Meng Jue is dead?!" Xu Jin was shocked.

"Second Young Master, that's not the main point." Lü Zhu smiled and said, "We haven't found out who the murderer is. Since the other party can even kill a Martial Master, it seems normal to kill two Blood Tempering Realm martial artists because of an 'accident', right?"

"Why two?" Xu Jin was stunned.

"Third Miss's lover is a genius martial artist who broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 20. If he becomes suspicious, there will be trouble, so…" Lü Zhu explained.

"You're so vicious!" Xu Jin was all smiles as he pinched Lü Zhu's nose hard. "But I like it!"

"Ah- Second Young Master." Lü Zhu squeezed into Xu Jin's arms.

"It's better to do this sooner than later. When that kid Han Zhao goes to look for Xu Ling, poison them to death together. You don't have to worry about the rest. I'll deal with the aftermath. When I become the family head, I'll marry you!" Xu Jin's eyes were fierce. Even the heavens were helping him, so he could only strike first. "Thank you, Second Young Master!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Chapter 84: Cautious Demon! Two Qi Grandmaster!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, the news of Meng Jue's death had already spread throughout Blackrock City.

As for Han Zhao, who had killed Meng Jue, he was swaggering towards the Xu residence.

This afternoon, Steward Zhou sent someone to inform him that the head of the Xu family, Xu Zhengdao, who was doing business outside, had sent a letter to announce that Xu Ling had taken over the family business.

It just so happened that today was the day of the payday. Han Zhao's dream of living off a woman would also be realized today, so he decided to celebrate with Xu Ling and get a reward.

After a while, Han Zhao arrived at the backyard of the Xu residence with ease.

He walked into Xu Ling's room and saw that the round table was already filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.

"Junior Brother Han, you're here." Xu Ling stood up to welcome him. "I asked the steward to book a table at the Drunken Moon Pavilion. I didn't expect it to be full at noon, so I bought wine and food to eat at home."

"I like to eat at home. If we eat, we can cultivate together," Han Zhao said with a smile.

"Practice by yourself after dinner." Xu Ling rolled her eyes at him.

"It's more efficient to train together. I can check your cultivation progress."

Han Zhao said seriously. His Qi Seeding special effect could infuse the pure true qi in his body into Xu Ling to increase her cultivation progress.

Of course. it could he the other wav around.

Xu Ling blushed and did not say anything else.

The two of them had just sat down when the maid, Lü Zhu, walked in with a food box.

"Third Miss, this is the snack that the Hundred Fragrances House has just made."

"Put it here." Xu Ling pointed at the empty seat on the table.

"Yes." Lü Zhu placed the exquisite snacks on the table and secretly sized up Han Zhao.

[The freshly made hazelnut crisp is sweet, but there's a little extra ingredient in it. With your Poison Avoidance ability, it's equivalent to a spicy taste.]

Han Zhao picked up a hazelnut crisp and a system notification suddenly appeared.

"Lü Zhu." Han Zhao placed the hazelnut crisp in front of Lü Zhu.

"Young Master Han, I…" Lü Zhu lowered her eyes and glanced at Xu Ling shyly before taking a step back.

"Junior Brother Han?" Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao in confusion. With his understanding of Han Zhao, it was really abnormal for him to do such a thing.

"Why? You don't want to eat it, or you don't dare to?" Han Zhao smiled faintly.

"I…" Lü Zhu panicked and hurriedly lowered her head to hide it.

"You must eat it!" Han Zhao suddenly stood up and grabbed Lü Zhu's neck.

"Third Miss?!" Lü Zhu was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Xu Ling for help.

Xu Ling stood up immediately. "The hazelnut crisp is poisonous?!"

"Lü Zhu! You've been with me for twelve years?! Why?" Xu Ling looked at Lü Zhu in disbelief.

As if thinking of something, she cried out, "Could it be my second brother?"

"Ah!" Han Zhao tapped Lü Zhu's lower abdomen with his finger. She immediately let out a scream and her body fell to the ground, convulsing.

"If you don't say it, you'll experience such pain for the next three days." Han

Zhao was expressionless.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Lü Zhu rolled on the ground in pain, crying and telling everything.

"Third Miss, please spare me! It's Second Young Master…"

Lü Zhu cried and hugged Xu Ling's thigh.

Seeing Xu Ling's wooden expression, Han Zhao stretched out a finger and pointed at Lü Zhu's abdomen, stopping the Life Nurturing True Qi from moving.

"Now, follow your plan and call Xu Jin over! Of course, you can also try to escape and bet if it will hurt to death."

"Yes! I'll go now!" Lü Zhu scrambled out of the room as if she had been pardoned.

Han Zhao walked to Xu Ling's side and gently hugged her. "It's your turn to make a decision now. Do you want to continue acting?"

After a long silence, Xu Ling nodded. "I… understand."

After a while, hurried footsteps sounded. Han Zhao and Xu Ling lay on the table.

Xu Jin walked into the room and laughed loudly when he saw the two of them lying motionless on the table without going forward to check.

"Hahahaha! Good death! Good death!"

"Second… Second Young Master, I…" Lü Zhu's voice was trembling.

"Lü Zhu, don't worry. I'll fulfill what I promised you so… Go die!" The smile on Xu Jin's face instantly disappeared, and he punched Lü Zhu in the chest. "Pfft!" Lü Zhu screamed and spat out blood. "Second Young Master?!"

"A lowly servant like you wants to be my wife? In your next life!" Xu Jin said disdainfully.

"Ha… Haha! Cough, cough, cough…" Lü Zhu's face was pale. She pointed at Xu Jin and laughed loudly. Blood kept coughing out, and soon, she breathed more than she breathed.

Xu Jin raised his hand and was about to punch again when he realized that his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"Han Zhao?!" Xu Jin revealed a shocked expression. He suddenly felt a force enter his body from his meridians and his body instantly went numb.

"Forget it, let's not waste time on him." Han Zhao said to Lü Zhu.

"Alright… alright!" Lü Zhu instantly understood what Han Zhao meant. A trace of joy appeared in her eyes. She glanced at Xu Ling for the last time. "Third Miss, I was… wrong…"

Lü Zhu's eyes widened and she stopped breathing.

Xu Ling walked forward and closed her eyes for her.

"You…" How could Xu Jin not understand that he had fallen into a trap? Immediately, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground. "Third Sister, it's all that b*tch Lü Zhu's fault for urging me to do this. I was impulsive. We're all biological siblings! Please spare me this time!"

Han Zhao watched coldly and did not speak.

Xu Ling raised her head slightly and looked at the sky outside the window. She let out a long sigh. "Junior Brother Han, he's my second brother after all…'

As she spoke, Xu Ling turned around.

Disappointment flashed across Han Zhao's eyes.

Xu Jin was delighted. Just as he was about to continue speaking softly, Xu Ling suddenly said in a low voice, "You shouldn't have attacked my Junior Martial Brother Han!"

Xu Jin's expression froze and his eyes widened. "Xu Ling, what did you say?!"

"Sorry to trouble you, Junior Martial Brother Han." Xu Ling didn't turn around.

"Xu Ling! I'm your second brother! How dare you…"

Crack!

Accompanied by the sound of the top of his head shattering, Xu Jin's terrified cry stopped abruptly. His corpse fell beside Lü Zhu.

Han Zhao walked up to Xu Ling.

Her eyes were red and she sounded like she was about to cry. "Second Brother treated me very well when I was young, and Lü Zhu too."

"It's been hard on you. You've done enough. Besides…" Han Zhao hugged her. "I knew we were the same kind of people."

After Xu Ling calmed down, she let Han Zhao leave first. She would deal with the aftermath.

Han Zhao didn't say anything else and left the Xu residence.

Since she could deal with Xu Jin decisively, Han Zhao had a whole new level of respect for her.

After all, they were a family who had lived together for more than 20 years. It was understandable that she was sad and soft-hearted, but she could not let them go!

To Han Zhao, he wanted whoever harmed him in reality to die. Anyone!

After returning home, Han Zhao closed the door tightly. This accident made him feel the need to simulate the future.

"System."

[Collected 60 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…]

[Current Balance: 170 taels of gold]

"After dealing with Xu Jin, when Xu Ling completely controls the family business, the resources will be integrated. At that time, it means that I won't lack money for the time being."

'I'll increase my foundation and cultivation efficiency first.' Han Zhao thought to himself.

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

20 years old. You helped Xu Ling seize the family business. Xu Ling annexed the Zhang family's assets and reached an agreement with Su Yun. The two trading companies joined forces and changed their names to the Lingyun Trading Company. Their business expanded rapidly.]

21 years old, Your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was perfected and you broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.]

[Considering that the news has passed, you disguised yourself as Ding Xiu and went to Jade Wind City. You sold Meng Jue's steel spear in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and obtained 3,000 taels of silver.]

[You earned another 5,000 taels of silver and spent 8,000 taels of silver to buy 22 catties of demon beast jerky.]

[Before leaving, Fang Ling sent you an invitation to go to the Divine Sword Manor.]

[After you asked for the reason, the three sisters of the Lian family appeared. Immediately after, two Force Tempering Martial Masters and three descendants of aristocratic families with one vein appeared.]

[The descendants of aristocratic families objected to a weakling like you who had broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough joining the team.]

[You knew very well how dangerous Divine Sword Manor was. You weren't prepared to travel with them in the first place, so you took the opportunity to reject them and returned to Blackrock City.]

[At the end of the year, after consuming 22 catties of demon beast jerky and the large number of resources provided by Xu Ling, you cultivated the Wind Riding Leg, Mountain Shaking Fist, and Yin Fiend Palm to the Third Level. However, the Yin Fiend Palm did not absorb Yin energy, so it obtained the least

Blood Imprint and Internal Force.]

22 years old. You reached the perfected third Blood Qi Breakthrough. After cultivating with Xu Ling, she broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough and you successfully grasped Internal Force.]

[In the same year, your Life Nurturing Technique reached perfection. Your Wind Riding Leg, Mountain Shaking Fist, and Yin Fiend Palm broke through to the fourth level, but the Yin Fiend Palm lacked Yin energy and dragged down your Internal Force.]

[In order to perfectly fuse the three Internal Forces and obtain the Three Essence Force, you have decided to go to the Divine Sword Manor and absorb the Yin energy.]

23 years old. After making all the preparations, you entered the Divine Sword Manor. After killing a group of Fiendish Corpses and Blood Corpses, the demon appeared.]

[With the four Internal Forces, you forced the demon to retreat step by step.]

[At this moment, one of the three sisters of the Lian family, Lian Chengbing, appeared. However, she was already disfigured and her body was covered in pustules.]

[Although Lian Chengbing didn't recognize you, she joined the battle when she saw the demon appear.]

[The demon was about to be killed by you guys when he suddenly laughed and said that he didn't want to play anymore. Then, his strength soared. You and Lian Chengbing instantly fell into a disadvantage and were in danger.]

[At the critical moment, you no longer hid your strength and used all your true qi to use the Sword Drawing Technique. However, you only cut off one of the demon's arms.]

[The demon laughed and told you that he had not used his full strength. Then, he reattached his arm and severely injured you.]

[At the critical moment of life and death, a ball of black fog appeared from the depths of the Anomaly.]

[In your despair, you used the last of your Internal Force to use the Mountain Splitter. At this moment, a woman in a green dress appeared in the black fog.

She recognized your saber technique and turned around to save you. She severely injured the demon with a single strike.]

[The demon shouted, "Heaven Fiend Demon Technique, Two Qi Grandmaster", and ran.]

[The woman in the green dress asked you why you knew the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique. You removed your disguise and returned to your original appearance. The other party blurted out your name.]

[Before the final moment, the woman in the green dress said that her name was Lu Yingxuan.]

[You died..]

Chapter 85: Vajra Technique Breakthrough! Third Blood Qj

Translator: Atlas Studios?????? Editor: Atlas Studios

"The first wife is so powerful?!"

Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao was stunned.

Lu Yingxuan was three years older than him and was 23 years old this year.

After three years in the simulation, she was only 26 years old, but she was already a Two Qi Grandmaster?!

According to Lu Yi, those who grasped Internal Force before the age of 30 could be considered geniuses in the prefecture capital.

After all, most martial artists would be stuck at the first bottleneck of the Blood Tempering Realm.

Then, grasping Internal Force was the next bottleneck.

Martial artists who could grasp Internal Force basically did not have a poor aptitude.

Furthermore, this was a 26 -year-old Visceral Tempering Grandmaster!

How good was Lu Yingxuan's aptitude?

In the initial simulation, Lu Yingxuan had asked him to break through to the

Force Tempering Martial Master Realm before she was willing to get married. The subsequent simulations were when he reached the third Blood Qi Breakthrough early and set up the engagement in advance.

Although there were differences in the process, Lu Yingxuan followed her father's orders.

At first, Han Zhao thought that Lu Yingxuan was probably at the Force

Tempering Martial Master level, so she asked him to grasp Internal Force too.

She could not live for more than a few years in the previous simulations. This simulation showed that she was already a Two Qi Grandmaster. Clearly, something must have happened to her, causing her to be seriously injured and not have long to live.

According to the demon's description, she had cultivated a cultivation technique called the Heaven Fiend Demon Technique. She probably needed to use Yin energy to cultivate, which was why she entered the Anomaly.

"Could it be that she was seriously injured in the battle with the demons and could not be cured? That's why she listened to Lu Yi's arrangements and married me."

After so many simulations, Han Zhao had basically figured out the path of the simulation.

Before the simulation, the strongest thought in his mind would affect his actions in the simulation.

Other than that, some people who were related to him would also appear in the simulation.

Especially those who were close to him.

"If Lu Yingxuan is not injured now, I can find her in advance and form more connections with her. More information about her should appear in the simulation. Wouldn't this prevent her old injuries from relapsing in the future?"

No matter what Lu Yingxuan thought, he had to marry her.

It was mainly because Nianxuan was too obedient and filial.

If he had not married Lu Yingxuan, Nianxuan might not have been born.

As a father, how could he tolerate it? He was not coveting Lu Yingxuan's body.

Moreover, the most important thing was that he was not short of money now. What he lacked was Yin energy!

The fastest way to obtain Yin energy was to enter the Anomaly.

After he wiped out the Anomalies in Taoyuan Village last time, the Anomalies that appeared in the simulation were all guarded by demons.

If one's strength was lower than Force Tempering, one would be courting death.

But now, his first wife was a Two Qi Grandmaster. She was a great expert in the prefecture capital.

With Lu Yi's relationship in the middle, Lu Yingxuan was definitely reliable.

Otherwise, she would not have saved him in the simulation just because he had used the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.

As long as they interacted more, it would not be a problem for them to develop feelings over time.

When the time came, he would directly get his first wife to bring him to farm Anomaly. He would follow behind and drink some soup. It would probably fill the Essence Soul Bead and the Yin Fiend Palm.

Furthermore, Lu Yingxuan had to go to the Anomaly for some reason.

As her future husband, he would not be a burden. He could still be trusted. Could there be a better choice?

In addition, at this time next year, the three sisters of the Lian family would go to the Anomaly together. He didn't know what their goal was, but they would die until only Lian Chengbing was left.

If he could grasp Internal Force at the age of 21, he could investigate the situation in advance through the simulation. If the danger was not high and there were enough benefits, he could go.

It would be best if he could pull Lu Yingxuan along.

[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]

[Current Balance: 110 taels of gold]

"Two."

[Attribute Points 18]

[15 Notification Fragments have been collected. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…] "There's still about a year left. Relying on the Yin energy naturally recovered by the Essence Soul Bead, I should barely be able to simulate it twice. I'll first increase my aptitude and cultivate a few martial arts to the Third Level before relying on my own hard work to grasp Internal Force."

Han Zhao thought to himself and immediately focused his attention on the Vajra Technique.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Greater Mastery 15%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 2, Bone Forging Level 1)

"Phew-"

Han Zhao took a deep breath, picked up a wooden stick, and bit it in his mouth. He thought to himself, "Improve the Vajra Technique to the Perfection stage."

[Attribute Points: 18 -9 13]

In an instant, Han Zhao's body trembled, and an even more terrifying squeezing pain filled his entire body.

Crack! The wooden stick was crushed by his teeth.

The pain of a short second left him with lingering fear.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Perfection 8%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 3, Bone Forging Level 2)

"Again. "

Han Zhao wiped the nonexistent sweat on his forehead, took out half of Meng Jue's steel spear, and bit it in his mouth.

"Upgrade the Vajra Technique to the Second Level."

[Attribute Points: 13 -9 3]

It was as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces. The pain of being dismembered instantly spread throughout his entire body.

"Mm—I ! ! l'

This time, the pain lasted for a full three seconds.

Han Zhao fell onto the bed in pain and twitched.

"Phew, phew!" He breathed heavily, almost crushing his teeth.

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (Second Level Entry Level 7%, Upgradeable;

Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 4, Bone Forging Level 3, Vajra True Qi

Level 1)

"Hmm? True qi?!"

Looking at the special effects in the martial arts column, Han Zhao was stunned and hurriedly looked inside.

His dantian was filled with green and white Life Nurturing True Qi. At the edge of this true qi, a wisp of golden true qi as thin as a hair appeared.

If not for his inner vision, he would not have been able to find it at all. "The basic cultivation method of the Heavenly Saint Sect's divine technique can cultivate true qi. Could it be that martial arts is originally meant for both internally and externally?"

He tried to circulate tne VaJra 'l'rue QI.

Golden true qi as thin as hair appeared in his palm.

Swoosh!

Under Han Zhao's control, his true qi actually changed from a soft state to sharp needles.

He activated his palm and Vajra True Qi shot out.

Bang!

Han Zhao got off the bed.

Two fist-sized holes were punched out of the water tank.

"Splash-

Half the vat of water fell to the ground.

What an exaggerated speed!

The Life Nurturing True Qi could also achieve a force to this extent, but it was definitely not so condensed, let alone this speed!

Step! Step!

"Brother Han, what's wrong?!" Hearing the commotion, Yu Niang, who was washing clothes in the courtyard, hurriedly ran into the room.

Looking at the water flowing all over the ground, Yu Niang was stunned. "I'll be careful when I cultivate next time." Han Zhao smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, okay."

Yu Niang nodded and subconsciously glanced at the table that was missing a corner and the ground where two holes had appeared.

Han Zhao:

Yu Niang:

After Yu Niang left the room, Han Zhao returned to the bed and sat cross-legged.

He did not plan to save the remaining attribute points and used them directly.

Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Greater Mastery

86%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 5, Mountain Splitting Force Level 2, Life Extension 20 years)

After three months of cultivation, his Mountain Splitting Saber Technique's progress had increased by 41%. He believed that after his aptitude increased this time, his cultivation speed in the future would be even faster.

In order to grasp Internal Force as soon as possible, he decided to increase the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique and increase his total blood qi.

"Increase the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique."

Han Zhao chanted in his mind.

[Attribute Points: 3 — o]

Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Perfection 23%,

Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 6, Mountain Splitting Force Level

4, Life Extension 20 years)

Han Zhao felt his arms burning.

He rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arms had turned red. Three black patterns that looked like mountain peaks had appeared on both arms.

"My third Blood Qi Breakthrough has increased my blood qi by two times!"

A quasi-Martial Master at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough realm of the Blood Tempering Realm had 4-5 to 7-5 times more blood qi than a normal Skin Tempering Realm martial artist.

His current total blood qi was already 9-5 times that of a normal Skin Tempering Realm martial artist!

They were about the same size, but their blood qi was more than nine times that of ordinary martial artists.

Furthermore, after this breakthrough, his Mountain Splitting Force had directly increased by two levels.

He could feel the abundant Blood Imprint in his body. The Mountain Splitting Force could be activated from his arms at will.

When he transformed all his blood qi into Blood Imprint and encountered a Martial Master like Meng Jue, he probably wouldn't need to use the Sword Drawing Technique.

"My total blood qi has already exceeded the limit of an ordinary person, but…" Han Zhao's gaze shifted to the Blood Spirit Policy.

Martial Arts: Blood Spirit Policy (First Level Perfection 100%, Upgradeable;

Special Effect: Blood Transformation Level 3, Mind Control Level 2, Blood Spirit Policy Level 1)

"Leave the matter of obtaining Yin energy and charging money to me. Let me see your limit.. System!"

Chapter 86: Lu Yi's Impression, Blood Spirit Policy Breakthrough!

Translator:?Atlas Studios??Editor:?Atlas Studios

"Go and ask Master Lu about the situation."

Han Zhao thought to himself.

It had always been his style to do things without hesitation.

He changed into a clean lake blue outfit and walked out of the room.

"Yu Niang, I'm going out for a while. I'll come back for dinner. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it back."

Looking at Yu Niang, who had washed a large basin of clothes, Han Zhao said.

Ever since he had Yu Niang, he did not have to do housework. Moreover, his clothes were changed every day, and his bedsheets were sunned every day and washed often.

Although he liked to be clean when he was alone, it was definitely not so comfortable.

"Same as before," Yu Niang said with a smile.

"Alright, hazelnut crisps and roast duck." Han Zhao made an 'OK' gesture.

Seeing this, Yu Niang put down the mallet in her hand and gave an incongruous 'OK'. She looked like a chick opening and closing its mouth.

"I'm leaving."

Han Zhao walked out of the house.

Before leaving, he glanced at his attribute pane.

—Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-Demon)

—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (Second Level Perfection 13%, Upgradeable)

"So fast?!" Han Zhao was stunned.

It had been a while since she last saw it. Yu Niang's Life Nurturing Technique had already been cultivated to the perfected Second Level.

With the guidance and help of his Life Nurturing True Qi, Xu Ling's progress was not much faster than Yu Niang's.

Yu Niang ate the same food as him, but with a normal person's appetite, she actually had such a fast cultivation speed.

"I'll focus on nurturing her later. Perhaps Yu Niang can break through as soon as possible."

After leaving the house, Han Zhao rushed to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy.

"Senior Brother Han!"

"Brother Han!"

The apprentices who were polishing their bodies in the outer courtyard stopped what they were doing. Even some of the more silent apprentices took the initiative to greet Han Zhao.

After all, the current Han Zhao was already a Blood Tempering Realm expert. Moreover, he had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm in his early twenties.

Unlike other apprentices with deep backgrounds, other than exchanging a secret manual for a chance to learn martial arts at the beginning, Han Zhao was basically like many commoners among them. He could be considered to have come from a grassroots background.

He had already become a role model for many apprentices by relying on his own efforts to reach this point.

"Yes." Han Zhao smiled and nodded.

When he passed by a tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he

stopped in his tracks and cupped his fists. "Senior Brother Li, long time no see."

The young man was Li Fei, who had not been to the martial arts school for a while.

Previously, Li Fei had changed from the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to the Mountain Shaking Fist. Then, he taught newcomers in the martial arts school and received Lu Yi's guidance. Some time ago, because of Xu Ling and Han Zhao's successive breakthroughs, he was stimulated and finally decided to return to the family to break through.

Now that he continued to guide the apprentices, it meant that he had failed to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm.

Bone Tempering Realm martial artists could be considered middle-level. In small and medium-sized gangs, they were already at the level of the leader and deputy leader.

Originally, several gangs had offered good conditions to invite Li Fei to join, but he rejected them all.

He chose to continue staying in the martial arts school. On one hand, it was to repay Lu Yi for his careful guidance when he was practicing fist techniques. On the other hand, he did not give up and wanted to try again.

"Junior Brother Han, it's been a long time." Li Fei saw that Han Zhao's smile was sincere and as usual, his slightly tense body relaxed.

"I'm here to discuss something with Master."

"Master Lu should be in the study." "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Okay."

Looking at Han Zhao's tall back, Li Fei's expression was a little lonely.

Among the few people in the courtyard back then, Xu Ling and Han Zhao had all broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm. Only he and Su Yun had stopped at the Perfected Bone Tempering Realm. However, Su Yun still had time and opportunity. Zhang Tianwen had broken through, but he was dead.

"If I had some courage back then and chose to follow Junior Sister Lu to the prefecture capital, would the outcome have been different?" Li Fei sighed.

Han Zhao rushed to the study. Lu Yi was sitting at the table and writing furiously.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Yi looked up at the door.

"Master." Han Zhao bowed.

"Come in." Lu Yi smiled and pointed at the armchair at the side. "Sit anywhere."

"Okay." Han Zhao sat beside Lu Yi and stole a glance from the corner of his eye. It seemed like he was writing a letter.

Lu Yi seemed to have sensed Han Zhao's gaze and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Kid, you're really… Did you peek at my family letter?"

"Family letter?" Han Zhao was stunned before asking, "Is it for Senior Sister

He had been learning martial arts from Lu Yi for so long. Other than that time when he explained the basic diagram, he rarely heard him mention his family.

"Yes," Lu Ying replied.

"Master, you've finally thought it through. Are you going to marry Senior Sister to me?" Han Zhao said with a smile.

"Kid, you're dreaming! It's not easy to enjoy the blessings of being together." Lu Yi scolded with a smile. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Actually… it's sometimes not a good thing to have too much luck with women."

'There's a deeper story.'

Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

Lu Yi's expression turned solemn. "If I matchmake you with Yingxuan but ask you to give up on Xu Ling, will you be willing?"

Han Zhao was silent.

He would not give up the person who came before him for the sake of the person who came later, even if the person who came later was better. Seeing Han Zhao's performance, not only was Lu Yi not angry, but he also nodded.

"Alright, that's more like it. For us martial artists… As long as you have the ability, you might be able to do what others can't."

As long as one was strong enough, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Women could also have 3,000 heads. The key was ability.

"Actually, I don't have the right to criticize you either. When I was young, I also caused a lot of amorous debts. In the end… Sigh…"

'Don't say just half of it…' Han Zhao was speechless.

"With Yingxuan's personality, it's not easy for you to win her favor, not to mention that you have Xu Ling." Lu Yi pondered and said, "However… I quite like you. Your comprehension is good, and you're considered reliable. In terms of looks, Yingxuan will probably like you."

"Master, I'll be proud if you praise me like this." Han Zhao smiled foolishly.

"Go away!" Lu Yi waved his hand in disdain and changed the topic. "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

"Oh right." Han Zhao suddenly punched Lu Yi.

"Watch my fist! "

Han Zhao's huge fist suddenly turned the color of white jade.

Lu Yi was shocked and immediately circulated the Mountain Shaking Force to turn around and punch.

Han Zhao took a step back and retracted his fist.

"Your Mountain Shaking Fist is about to break through to the Third Level so quickly?!"

Lu Yi was shocked.

However, the surprise Han Zhao gave him was far from over.

He rolled up his sleeves and controlled the accumulation of Blood Imprint. His arms turned red, and two black patterns that were like mountain peaks appeared on both arms.

"Second Blood Qi Breakthrough?! Another twofold increase in blood qi!!" Lu Yi's eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to pop out.

"How long has it been since you broke through?! Three months? Could it be that you're a potential genius? The kind that accumulates and develops?" Lu Yi was in disbelief.

"Actually, the last time I told you I broke through to the first Blood Qi Breakthrough, I was already about to break through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough," Han Zhao explained in order not to shock Lu Yi too much.

"You mean you broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 19?!" Lu Yi caught the main point.

"Ah… this… yes."

"Good for you!"

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows. "Then why are you willing to tell me this now?"

"I want to ask you about Senior Sister Lu."

Han Zhao smiled awkwardly.

Lu Yi took a deep look at Han Zhao and said, "Well… as long as you can break through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough in two years, it's not impossible for Yingxuan to be betrothed to you. Of course, even if we have an engagement, I can't do anything if she's unwilling. Moreover, she just sent a letter yesterday saying that she has already grasped Internal Force."

"She grasped Internal Force?" Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and thought of the situation in the simulation. He could not rule out the possibility that she was hiding her cultivation progress.

"Don't feel pressured. This kind of thing can't be forced." Lu Yi patted Han Zhao's shoulder. It was best if he could be a son-in-law. If not, it was not bad to be a successor.

"Master, you have to tell me Senior Sister's preferences. The more detailed she is, the better!"

Han Zhao smiled.

"As for Yingxuan… Her foundation is not bad, but she has been weak and sickly since she was young. She's not suitable for martial arts. After many years of recuperation, she recovered her physique. She was especially close to me when she was young and pestered me all day long. However, ever since her mother's incident, she has distanced herself from me a lot. She looks very stubborn, but actually…"

At the mention of Lu Yingxuan, Lu Yi's eyes lit up. He could not shut his mouth.

Han Zhao listened quietly.

Ten days later.

Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed. The skin on his entire body began to turn abnormally red, and gradually, his entire body seemed to be covered by a thin layer of blood energy.

Bang!

Suddenly, Han Zhao opened his eyes and saw that his skin color had quickly returned to normal. A muffled sound came from his body.

Martial Arts: Blood Spirit Policy (Second Level Entry Level 2%, Upgradeable;

Special Effect: Blood Transformation Level 4, Mind Control Level 3, Blood

Explosion Level 2, Blood Fusion Level 1)

[The new Blood Spirit Policy that deviated from its original route again retained a portion of the advantages of the original cultivation method. At the same time, it greatly reduced the probability of Qi Deviation and obtained the ability to fuse blood. Its potential is not low. It is recommended to spend money to increase it.]

[Basic Master's proficiency has increased!]

[Basic Master's quality has increased!]

[Basic Master: Green Trait. Cultivation speed of basic and beginner-level martial arts is doubled. The probability of breaking through the upper limit is greatly increased. (Can be upgraded through cultivation. The upper limit is Blue Trait.)

With the breakthrough of the Blood Spirit Policy, Han Zhao's blood qi increased by 50%. Even the Basic Master Trait that had not been used all this time had upgraded from white to green.

"The Vajra Technique is the basic cultivation method of the Heavenly Saint Sect's divine technique. Even if it's not a basic martial art, it should be a beginner-level martial art, right?" Han Zhao suddenly thought of this..

Chapter 87: Great Increase in Strength, Caravan Gets Robbed!

Four months quietly passed.

Chop! Chop! Chop!

The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board at a uniform speed kept sounding.

Yu Niang was standing in front of the stove, preparing to cook.

Seven to eight meters behind her, Han Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His eyes were naturally closed, and his hands kept punching in the air.

After an unknown period of time, the fragrance of the food reached Han Zhao's nose.

His fists turned pitch-black. After punching again, he opened his eyes.

[The proficiency of the Barehanded Martial Saint has increased. The aptitude of palm techniques, fist techniques, and leg techniques has increased by five times. The aptitude of finger techniques and claw techniques has increased by four times…]

"After the leg technique and palm technique, the aptitude of my fist technique has also increased. I'm just short of finger and claw techniques."

Han Zhao looked at the system notification and revealed a happy expression.

He brought his pitch-black fist in front of him and saw five lines that looked like blood lines appear on his pitch-black fist.

Apart from that, an indescribable and invisible force seemed to be attached to the surface of the fist.

Han Zhao picked up his solid wooden pillow and placed his black and huge fist an inch away from the pillow.

Immediately after, he loosened his fist. The muscles in his right arm suddenly tightened and he clenched his fist fiercely.

Bang!

He raised his fist and saw a small hole explode in the middle of the solid wooden pillow.

"The explosive effect of the Mountain Shaking Force is really concentrated. No wonder Blood Tempering Realm quasi-Martial Masters are like weak chickens to those below the Blood Tempering Realm."

"The quality of a Force Tempering Martial Master's Internal Force is higher and there are more of them. It's really too difficult for a Blood Tempering Realm cultivator to defeat a Force Tempering Martial Master."

"Except me."

Han Zhao thought to himself.

One had to have multiple Internal Forces or an explosive skill that could instantly break through the defense of Internal Force to have a chance to defeat a Force Tempering Martial Master at the Blood Tempering Realm.

Coincidentally, he fit both criteria.

Han Zhao activated the Blood Imprint and gathered it in his palm. His originally pitch-black fist began to turn as white as jade. Four blood-like lines appeared in his palm. This was the Blood Imprint cultivated by the Yin Fiend Palm.

"As expected, even if it's hand-based techniques, the focus of different cultivation methods is different. The Mountain Shaking Fist mainly focuses on strengthening the back of the hand, and the Yin Fiend Palm focuses on strengthening the palm." Feeling the Internal Force gathered in his palm, Han Zhao understood.

Although he could also cover the back of his hand with the Yin Fiend Force, he had to concentrate it in his palm to maximize its power.

Now that his palm had been strengthened by the Mountain Shaking Fist and the Yin Fiend Palm, its strength had greatly increased. When he activated his cultivation method, he could resist ordinary weapons even without wearing gloves.

His legs were the same after being strengthened by the Wind Riding Leg.

His arms had been strengthened by the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.

Currently, only the head and torso were not enhanced.

However, they could be protected by true qi.

The only pity was that his Wind Riding Force, Mountain Shaking Force, and Yin Fiend Force were uneven.

The Mountain Shaking Force was the strongest, followed by the Wind Riding Force. The weakest was the Yin Fiend Force.

Originally, according to the grade and power of the cultivation method, the strongest should be the Yin Fiend Force. The Wind Riding Force was secondary, and the weakest should be the Mountain Shaking Force.

Now, it was completely the other way around.

The main reason was that the Yin Fiend Force lacked Yin energy. The Internal Force that was cultivated could not have the chilling effect of Extreme Yin and Evil.

Not to mention perfectly fusing the three Internal Forces into the Three Essence Force, he could not even fuse the two Internal Forces.

"If I want to complete the fusion of the three forces, I'll probably have to cultivate all three cultivation methods to the Perfection of the Third Level.

Then, I'll break through to the fourth level at the same time when I'm grasping Internal Force. Then, I'll distribute the Blood Imprint according to strength and quality to convert Internal Force."

Han Zhao frowned slightly.

This was not a simple matter.

If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably think that there was something wrong with his brain.

As the second major bottleneck for martial artists, the grasping of Internal Force had blocked countless martial artists at the perfected third Blood Qi

Breakthrough. It was already a blessing to be able to break through safely.

In the end, he was even prepared to grasp Internal Force with all three cultivation methods at the same time. It was not much different from courting death.

Of course, just because others could not do it did not mean that he could not.

It was the easiest to fuse three cultivation methods at the same time.

Otherwise, when the three Internal Forces with different characteristics and even conflict became stronger, it would be difficult to fuse them again.

He had indeed succeeded in the simulation, but he was already 26 years old.

As for reaching the Greater Mastery of the Three Essence Force and fusing with the Life Nurturing True Qi to form the Three Points Origin Returning Technique, he would have to wait until he was 35 years old.

In reality, he could not wait that long.

"If I reach the Greater Mastery stage of the Three Essence Force and fuse it with the Life Nurturing True Qi and Vajra True Qi at the same time, I wonder if I can succeed."

Han Zhao suddenly recalled the Vajra True Qi that appeared when he cultivated the Vajra Technique to the Second Level. If he could fuse this indestructible and terrifying true qi together, the power of the Three Points Origin Returning Technique would probably increase to another level.

"I can try it in the simulation."

Thinking of this, Han Zhao focused his attention on his system interface.

Life Nurturing Technique (Third Level Perfection 39%, Upgradeable)

Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Perfection 83%, Upgradeable)

Mountain Shaking Fist (Third Level Small Mastery 9%, Upgradeable: Special Effect: Explosion Level 3, Mountain Shaking Force Level 2)

Yin Fiend Palm (Third Level Entry Level 70%, Upgradeable; Special Effect:

Poison Avoidance Level 4, Yin Fiend Force Level 1)

Wind Riding Leg (Third Level Entry Level 36%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Rapid Speed Level 4, Wind Riding Force Level 2)

The Mountain Shaking Force could already fuse with Mountain Splitting Force almost perfectly.

As expected of an Internal Force cultivation method of the same origin.

After cultivating the Vajra Technique to the Second Level, he wondered if his foundation had increased to the intermediate level.

However, after the [Late Bloomer] Trait's aptitude enhancement, his foundation and aptitude had definitely reached the intermediate level.

The most direct comparison was that Xu Ling, who also cultivated the Life Nurturing Technique and the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, was only half as fast as Han Zhao.

During this period of time, Han Zhao cultivated six cultivation methods at the same time.

Xu Ling had a medium to high-grade foundation. His current foundation should not be much inferior to hers.

As for the superior grade, it was definitely far from it.

According to Lu Yi, martial artists with high-grade foundations could basically break through to the Blood Tempering Realm before the age of 20 without lacking cultivation resources.

For example, Meng Zhi, who was already dead, and the current county magistrate, Wu Di, had all broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 19.

In addition, Lu Yi also had a high-grade foundation. He had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 19. Furthermore, he cultivated the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique and the Mountain Shaking Fist at the same time. Otherwise, he would have broken through at the age of 18.

When he cultivated the Second Level of the Vajra Technique to perfection, coupled with the double effect of the [Late Bloomer] Trait, Han Zhao's foundation would probably reach the upper-middle level, close to the upper-middle level.

If he had a Third Level cultivation technique and learned it, his aptitude would probably undergo a qualitative change.

"In the future, if others praise me for being a genius, I really can't refute them!

My own hard work is indeed becoming more and more important." The feeling of his cultivation progress clearly increasing was great.

"Brother Han, it's time to eat," Yu Niang whispered when she saw Han Zhao sitting on the bed in a daze. However, her gaze glanced at the pillow that he had punched a big hole in.

"Coming." Han Zhao got off the bed and threw the pillow into the fire beside the stove.

Halfway through the meal, Han Zhao thought of something and said, "By the way, Yu Niang, prepare yourself. We'll move in a few days."

"Huh?" Yu Niang was stunned.

"The house here is too small. It's inconvenient to cultivate. Moreover, there's only one room. After all, you're a girl. You have to have your own room," Han Zhao explained.

Xu Ling bought him a small courtyard house in the inner city.

It was not big. It was just a courtyard.

Originally, Xu Ling wanted to buy him a larger house, but he didn't want it.

After all, Xu Ling had just taken over the Xu family's trading company and had recently joined forces with the Su family's trading company to annex the Zhang family's assets. She needed money to expand, so there was no need to waste it.

He had a secret and did not want too many people by his side. With only Yu Niang by his side, it was enough to live in the courtyard.

"Yes, I'll pack up as soon as possible." Yu Niang nodded. "Then what about the house here?"

"Leave it empty for now. Anyway, even if no one lives there, no one will dare to touch my house." Han Zhao smiled and said, "You'll have your own room then.

Aren't you happy?

"Yes…"

After dinner, Han Zhao walked into the courtyard and prepared to practice his saber techniques for a while.

"Creak!"

The steward of the Xu residence, Zhou Zheng, hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

"Young Master Han, bad news!"

"What happened?"

"The trading company's convoy was robbed on the way back from Jiayuan City! Several registered elders were injured. Young Miss requests you to quickly go over and discuss a countermeasure!"

"What?!"

Han Zhao's expression changed. If the caravan was robbed and the investor could not earn money, wouldn't that be destroying their business?

"Let's go to the Xu family!"

Han Zhao circulated the Wind Riding Leg and took the lead..

Chapter 88: Initial Formation of the Three Essence Force

At the Xu residence.

In the study.

When Han Zhao arrived, Xu Ling was sitting in an armchair with a solemn expression. Beside her were Zhao Yuantu and Feng Xiao. Both of them were pale and emitted a faint smell of blood. Zhao Yuantu's left arm was still bandaged.

"Senior Sister Xu, Eldest Senior Brother, Elder Feng."

"Junior Martial Brother Han, you're here!" Xu Ling's expression turned from gloomy to sunny.

After experiencing it again and again, she trusted Han Zhao more and more. She was filled with confidence in him. Even if Feng Xiao, who had a third Blood Qi Breakthrough, and Zhao Yuantu, who had a second Blood Qi Breakthrough, couldn't solve the problem, she would have an inexplicable feeling that Han Zhao could handle it. "Junior Brother Han."

"Brother Han."

Zhao Yuantu and Feng Xiao stood up to greet him.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Elder Feng, take a seat." Han Zhao walked forward and gestured for the two of them not to get up. Then, he asked, "What kind of enemy did you encounter? Why did it become like this?"

"We're not sure either. It was fine when we went. When we came back with the payment and the deposit for the new order, we were robbed halfway."

Zhao Yuantu was a little depressed.

"There is no Force Tempering Martial Master in that group, but there are six Blood Tempering Realm martial artists. Their individual strength is probably between the first and second Blood Qi Breakthrough, so they're not difficult to deal with. The main thing is that they know a special explosive secret technique. Their skin will instantly turn red, and their strength and speed will increase explosively," Feng Xiao added.

"Elder Feng and I each killed one person, but we were also injured by the other party's final counterattack." Zhao Yuantu frowned.

"Unfortunately, the corpses were taken away by the other party. Otherwise, we

could investigate what kind of secret technique it was and find a wav to deal

with it," Feng Xiao said in a low voice.

Exploding a secret technique and turning their skin red. Why does it look so similar to the Blood Spirit Policy… Han Zhao's heart stirred.

"The losses this time are not small. Moreover, if we can't complete the transaction, we have to pay double the deposit. Most importantly, we have to give up on the business path in Jiayuan City in the future. This group of people is not something one or two third Blood Qi Breakthrough experts can deal with. As for inviting a Force Tempering Martial Master, even if we can afford it, we won't be able to find them.

Xu Ling sighed.

Martial Masters in the Martial Master Academy had to maintain a neutral stance. This was the rule and could not be broken.

Otherwise, Lu Yi would definitely be willing to help.

Junior Brother Han's combat strength was powerful, but she did not want him to take the risk.

"That's easy. I know a friend in Jade Wind City. If I ask him for help, I should be able to resolve this trouble," Han Zhao said in a low voice.

"That friend of yours is a Force Tempering Martial Master?!" Feng Xiao looked happy.

"No." Han Zhao shook his head.

"Third Blood Qi Breakthrough…" Feng Xiao was a little disappointed.

"But he killed a Martial Master," Han Zhao added.

"What?!"

"Huh?"

"Killing a Martial Master with the strength of the third Blood Qi Breakthrough?!"

Xu Ling, Zhao Yuantu, and Feng Xiao were stunned.

"I once heard that quasi-Martial Masters who cultivate powerful cultivation methods or have many types of Internal Force can defeat some weaker Force Tempering Martial Masters. I didn't expect it to be true," Feng Xiao sighed.

With his understanding of Han Zhao, the other party would not lie.

"I can't guarantee that I can definitely invite him, so…" Han Zhao didn't finish his sentence.

"Understood." Xu Ling nodded. "There are still twenty days left to escort the goods. We can set off in ten days at the latest. There's still time. We'll wait for your reply."

"Alright, I'll go back and prepare now." Han Zhao got up and went home.

When he returned home, Han Zhao closed the door tightly and muttered,

"System."

[Collected 50 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…]

[Current Balance: 110 taels of gold]

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

[20 years old. Your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, Mountain Shaking Fist, Yin Fiend Palm, and Wind Riding Leg broke through to the Third Level one after another. Your strength increased greatly.]

[The joint caravan of the Xu and Su families has been robbed. You have decided to disguise yourself as Xiong Ba and follow the team to Jiayuan City.]

[On the way, you were attacked by the Longevity Sect's disciples. You used the Wind Riding Leg to move through the crowd and relied on the combination of the Yin Fiend Palm and Life Nurturing True Qi to kill the other party.]

[The Longevity Sect disciples were defeated. In order to find out their base, you chased after them alone.]

[At this moment, a descendant of an aristocratic family appeared. The other party held a halberd.]

[During the battle, you discovered that the other party's halberd technique was exquisite, but his actual combat experience was too weak and filled with loopholes.]

[However, the power of this halberd was astonishing. You didn't dare to use the black gold gloves to resist it head-on. In the end, you took out the Severing Karma Saber to fight the enemy.]

[Weapons clashed. The black-red gem on the halberd continuously releases Yin energy. It enters your body through the Severing Karma Saber and gradually paralyzes your limbs.]

[You gradually fell into a disadvantage and decided to take the risk. During the battle, you used the Yin Fiend Palm to absorb and refine the Yin energy in your body.]

[Very soon, your Yin Fiend Force transformed into the Yin Internal Force of Extreme Yin and Evil.]

[The other party realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. You had already gained the upper hand.]

[After a long battle, you used all your true qi to activate the Sword Drawing Technique and killed the other party.]

[When collecting the spoils of war, your body came into contact with the black-red gem on the halberd. A special power entered your body along with Yin energy.]

[21 years old. Your Yin Fiend Palm was the first to grasp Internal Force, followed by the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, the Mountain Shaking Fist, and the Wind Riding Leg.]

[In a battle with the Longevity Sect, you encountered a member of the secret guards.]

[The other party was chasing after the descendants of the Chu Country's aristocratic families who are undergoing a blood sacrifice in Yuan Chang

County.]

[The other party was very willing to fork out money and you were invited to

join the secret guards.]

[Half a year later, you encountered an aristocratic family disciple in a battle.

Halfway through the battle, another aristocratic family disciple appeared.] [You died.]

"A disciple of the Chu Country's aristocratic family? Could it be the matter that the three sisters of the Lian family mentioned?"

Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao's expression changed slightly.

This halberd looked like the divine weapon Ji Zhuling had mentioned, but it was worlds apart from the power she had described.

It was probably a pseudo-divine weapon, and it was even inferior among pseudo-divine weapons.

Of course, the weaker the better.

Even if Han Zhao used all his methods, he only had the strength of the Force Tempering Realm. Whether he could defeat the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering was still a question.

The fact that the other party could fight him for a long time and be exhausted to death by him in the end meant that his strength was around the Bind-level 'one vein', which was the level of a normal Force Tempering Martial Master.

Regardless of whether it was a divine weapon or not, it was good if it could help him master the Yin Fiend Palm. [1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]

[Current Balance: 50 taels of gold]

"Two."

[Attribute Points 18]

Martial Arts:

Mountain Shaking Fist (Third Level Small Mastery 9%, Upgradeable: Special Effect: Explosion Level 3, Mountain Shaking Force Level 2)

Yin Fiend Palm (Third Level Entry Level 70%, Upgradeable; Special Effect:

Poison Avoidance Level 4, Yin Fiend Force Level 1)

Wind Riding Leg (Third Level Entry Level 36%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Rapid Speed Level 4, Wind Riding Force Level 2)

"Can I fuse the Three Essence Force in advance?"

Han Zhao thought to himself.

Then, he muttered to himself, "System, add points according to the method where Mountain Shaking Force, Yin Fiend Force, and Wind Riding Force can be perfectly fused." [An additional 30 taels of gold will be consumed.]

"It really works?!"

Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Consume 30 taels of gold, use up my attribute points!!"

[Current Balance: 20 taels of gold]

[Attribute Points: 18 — 14]

Mountain Shaking Fist (Third Level Greater Mastery 99%, Upgradeable:

Special Effect: Explosion Level 4, Mountain Shaking Force Level 3)

[Attribute Points: 14 — 8]

Yin Fiend Palm (Third Level Greater Mastery 66%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Poison Avoidance Level 5, Yin Fiend Force Level 3)

[Attribute Points: 8-9 0]

Wind Riding Leg (Third Level Greater Mastery 33%, Upgradeable; Special

Effect: Rapid Speed Level 5, Wind Riding Force Level 4)

[Mountain Shaking Force, Yin Fiend Force, and Wind Riding Force are almost perfectly proportioned. The success rate of fusion is 98%.]

[Current Yin Fiend Force lacks Yin energy and does not have the chilling Yin characteristic. You have to be careful when absorbing Yin energy. The progress of the Yin Fiend Palm cannot exceed the progress of the Mountain Shaking Fist. Otherwise, it will cause the Three Essence Force to collapse.]

[When the Mountain Shaking Force, Yin Fiend Force, and Wind Riding Force are perfected, the Three Essence Force will not be affected by this ratio.]

As the attribute points were distributed, Han Zhao felt the Blood Imprint in his palms and legs quickly increase.

At the same time, the corresponding Internal Force also strengthened.

Under his control, the three types of Internal Force finally gathered in his palm and became one.

"I'm not afraid of you asking for money. I'm only afraid that you can't do anything!" Feeling this powerful Internal Force that was drawn in but not released, Han Zhao smiled.

It seemed that as the amount of money charged increased, the system function became more and more comprehensive.

If it was before, the system would not have such a function at all.

"Since it hasn't reached the Greater Mastery, let's call it the Smaller Three Essence Force."

"It's time for Sect Master Xiong Ba to appear!"

Chapter 89: World Association, Sect Master Xiong Ba!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ten days later.

Blackrock City, Inner City, Yonghe District.

A group of people led the carriage and ox cart along the main road that crisscrossed the north and south of the inner city, heading towards the north gate.

Each car was stacked with large boxes. The name of the convoy was Lingyun. It was the recently established Lingyun Trading Company.

As the busiest main road in the inner city, there were people coming and going on the streets.

However, everyone consciously made way for the caravan.

The onlookers pointed at the convoy and discussed softly.

"Woah! Look at the mountain of goods in this convoy. The Xu family and the Su family are really generous!"

"That's right. The two families joined forces and forced the Zhang family to move out of Blackrock City. Their businesses were completely annexed."

"This is all in the past! You still don't know, right? This Lingyun Trading Company's first big deal was robbed."

"Who's so bold to rob the Xu family and the Su family's caravan?!"

"I'm not sure. I only heard that on the way back to Blackrock City from Jiayuan

City, the caravan encountered a group of people. The Xu family's third Blood Qi

Breakthrough expert, Feng Xiao, was injured!"

"I also heard that Martial Master Lu's eldest disciple, Zhao Yuantu, has lost his hand and is bedridden. He's probably dying."

"Stop talking nonsense! Can't you see that Feng Xiao is walking at the front?"

"Then why isn't Zhao Yuantu on the team? Huh? Didn't you see that the young master of the Xu family is personally leading the team?"

"Sigh, I won't defend you!"

"No, let's make a bet, okay?"

"I'm not betting! I'm irreconcilable with drugs and gambling!"

"Boring…"

The people's discussion was not loud, but the employees accompanying the caravan were all martial artists. With the hearing of Bone Tempering and Blood Tempering Realm martial artists, they could hear what the passersby said clearly.

Not to mention passersby, even they themselves were not confident.

When the caravan was robbed, more than 20 martial artists died. They were basically all at the Skin Tempering Realm and a few at the Bone Tempering Realm.

The four Blood Tempering Realm registered elders were also injured to varying degrees.

Although the registered elder with a fractured arm was not as exaggerated as the passersby said, he was indeed recuperating at home.

Even with the strength of the previous team, they could not withstand it. It would probably be even harder to protect the goods this time.

Most importantly, their lives would probably be lost with the goods.

Helplessly, the young master, Xu Ling, personally led the team. Most of the martial artists like them had signed a contract with the Xu family and the Su family. This was not in name. They had to go. Otherwise, it would be a breach of contract. That way, they could forget about staying in Blackrock City.

They basically brought their families along. Even if they could leave, they had to take care of their families.

Therefore, if they encountered a tribulation, they could only fight to the death.

After all, they did not get the money for nothing.

"Sigh… I hope the person Brother Han found is really as powerful as he said." Feng Xiao rode on his tall horse and sighed in his heart.

The martial artists in the team were all dejected. If they really encountered that group of people again, what could they use to resist?

Although his previous injuries were not heavy, he had expended a lot of blood qi. Now, he could at most unleash 70% of his strength.

In addition, he was already old and was no longer in the age to fight. In his current state, he could at most deal with a second Blood Qi Breakthrough martial artist.

The other two registered elders were not much better. Only the young master, Xu Ling, was in good condition.

However, she had just broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm not long ago. During this period of time, she had been in charge of the business company's affairs. Her strength was probably not bad among the first Blood Qi Breakthrough.

In short, the team lacked a powerful backbone.

"Grandpa Feng, don't worry. Junior Brother Han will definitely do what he promised. I believe in him!" Xu Ling, who was riding the black horse, comforted Feng Xiao when she saw that he had a lot on his mind.

"Mm, I believe it too." Feng Xiao nodded, clearly lacking in confidence.

During the battle in Taoyuan Village last time, Han Zhao seemed to be extremely brave, but he was actually only equivalent to an ordinary second Blood Qi Breakthrough martial artist.

If not for the fact that he had eaten the monster's flesh and could not even unleash half of his strength, he would have been able to escape with Xu Ling alone. The other quasi-Martial Masters at the Blood Tempering Realm would not have been killed so easily by Heiwa and Aunt Tao.

Of course, Feng Xiao was still very confident in Han Zhao's strength and potential.

However, this time, it was an unknown third Blood Qi Breakthrough martial artist. If the enemy had a Force Tempering Martial Master, it would be troublesome.

He was already so old, so it was not a loss for him to die. However, if something happened to Xu Ling, he would not be able to accept it.

However, Xu Ling firmly believed in Han Zhao. In order to give everyone confidence, she insisted on leading the team. Feng Xiao could not persuade her.

"Young Miss, if we encounter a powerful enemy, stay closer to me. Let's help each other."

Feng Xiao added.

"Grandpa Feng, you're actually… alright." Xu Ling understood what he meant, but she couldn't say anything else. She had unconditional trust in Han Zhao. Otherwise, she wouldn't have personally led the team.

When the other two registered elders of the Su family heard this, they could not help but look at each other and already understood what the other party meant.

Previously, they were already injured. If they encountered that group of people last time and fought to the death without retreating, they might die if they were not a match.

Although they had signed a contract with the Su family and obtained a lot of benefits, their lives were still the most important.

Just like that, the entire team was enveloped in a dull atmosphere. They passed through the main road, walked out of the inner city gate, and gathered at the north gate, waiting for the so-called strong reinforcements.

After a while, just as everyone was getting impatient from waiting, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties walked over from afar.

The other party seemed to be walking slowly, but everyone felt that he had only taken a few steps before arriving in front of them.

Good movement technique!

As soon as an expert made a move, one would know if it was true or not.

The four quasi-Martial Masters of the Blood Tempering Realm, including Xu Ling, had confidence in this person.

The others also fixed their eyes on the man who had suddenly appeared. They saw that he was not wearing a tight-fitting outfit that was convenient for movement. Instead, he was wearing a golden robe. His long black hair was combed meticulously and scattered behind him. His thick sword-like eyebrows were raised, and his face was filled with dignity. Every move he made exuded the domineering aura of a superior.

Just by looking at his appearance, he felt that he had more style than many Force Tempering Martial Masters.

"I'm Xiong Ba. I've been entrusted to protect you." The person who came was arrogant and dignified.

Everyone could not help but look solemn when they saw his extraordinary bearing.

Feng Xiao's heart jumped. His worry had been completely wiped away by Xiong Ba's movement technique when he appeared. He walked forward and cupped his fists, "Greetings, Mr. Xiong. May I know where Brother Han is now?"

"He's a guest in my sect." As he spoke, Han Zhao flicked his sleeve and an envelope flew straight towards Xu Ling.

Xu Ling took the envelope and saw that it was indeed Han Zhao's personal letter.

"The World Association's Sect Master?! Since Junior Martial Brother Han admires Sect Master Xiong so much, I'll leave this trip to you," Xu Ling said respectfully. Someone who could make Junior Martial Brother Han admire him must be an expert.

"This is just a request." Han Zhao smiled faintly.

Fortunately, he had watched television dramas. Otherwise, even if he could use the Bone Shrinking Technique to disguise his appearance, he would not be able to act like Xiong Ba.

"Please!"

A Bone Tempering Realm martial artist very consciously gave up his horse.

Han Zhao nodded slightly and got on the horse..

Under the night sky, the convoy of the Lingyun Trading Company formed a long line and entered the depths of the Tianyuan Mountain Range. The group followed the official road and hurried towards Jiayuan City.

This Tianyuan Mountain Range was the only path Blackrock City had to pass to Jiayuan City.

However, bandits were rampant in the mountains. Even if the Imperial Court's caravan passed by, if the guards were not strong enough, they would lose a fortune.

The forest here was dense, and the mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk on. There was only one official road that was easier to walk on. Therefore, even if they provoked the Imperial Court, these bandits could hide deep in the mountains and escape the encirclement of the official army.

These bandits had even used guerrilla warfare to defeat the encirclement of the government troops several times.

In fact, if the Imperial Court was really ruthless, they could send tens of thousands of troops to capture these bandits in one fell swoop.

However, the local government did not have such power, and to the prefecture capital, there was no profit in this matter. It was fine if they defeated the bandits, but if they lost, who would be responsible?

No one was willing to do something that was thankless.

In addition, the bandits of the Tianyuan Mountain Range would not go too far. They would give the caravans with a certain level of strength a way out, so they did not attract the siege of the large factions.

At this moment, Han Zhao was riding a tall horse and walking at the front of the team. Behind him were Xu Ling, Feng Xiao, and the other four quasi-Martial Masters of the Blood Tempering Realm.

Swoosh!

A faint sound suddenly came from the forest.

It was not loud. It was almost impossible to hear it under the cover of the sound of hooves, wheels, and footsteps.

However, to Han Zhao, who had true qi and his five senses had been greatly strengthened, this voice was quite obvious.

"Stop." Han Zhao raised his hand.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Behind him, Xu Ling and Feng Xiao spoke at the same time. Then, they rode their horses to Han Zhao's side.

Xu Ling asked with a puzzled expression, "Sect Master Xiong, what happened?"

"Someone is approaching," Han Zhao said calmly.

"Be careful! Something is wrong!" Xu Ling did not suspect anything and immediately returned to the convoy at the back to warn them.

"Be careful!"

The martial artists of the caravan were shocked. Thev had sneciallv chosen to

travel at night under the dim moonlight. They did not even light a torch because they wanted to pass through Tianyuan Mountain secretly. Now, it seemed that they were overthinking. That group of people had already targeted them.

The martial artists on both sides of the carriage lit their torches and gathered the convoy in the middle. The surrounding area was illuminated by the flames.

At this moment, in the dark forest around the caravan, a group of masked men in black stood in the shadows and looked at the convoy illuminated by the flames not far away.

"Why did these people suddenly light torches? Did they discover us?"

"So what if they discover us? We underestimated them last time, so we didn't take them all down. This time, with the Incense Master leading us, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Incense Master Wei, I heard that the new Vice Hall Master Yang will be arriving soon. Do you want to wait for him?"

"There's no need. By the time he comes, the battle will have ended long ago." The leader of the black-robed men said indifferently, his tone filled with powerful confidence.

"Incense Master Wei is right! How can we let an outsider steal our limelight!"

"Cut the crap. Let's attack together! Let's end the battle quickly!" The leader of the men in black said coldly.

"Yes!"

With Incense Master Wei's order, the black-robed man flew down from the forest beside the pipeline like a dumpling and landed dozens of meters away from the caravan's carriage.

There were dozens of people in the group, eight of whom were experts at the Blood Tempering Realm. The leader, Incense Master Wei, and the other two deputy Incense Masters were all experts who had broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.

Half of the others were at the Bone Tempering Realm. This was already all the strength under Incense Master Wei to make up for his previous mistake.

"There are so many people!" The martial artists of the caravan were shocked when they saw so many black-clothed people rushing down.

In particular, the speed of the eight people in the lead was far from what the Bone Tempering Realm could compare to. They were all quasi-Martial Masters in the Blood Tempering Realm!

The four people leading the team of the trading company felt their scalps tingle.

This was also the first time Xu Ling had seen such a lineup. She felt that with the Life Nurturing Technique and the Third Level Mountain Splitting Saber

Technique, it would not be a problem for her to fight an expert with the second Blood Qi Breakthrough. However, she was afraid that the other party had a great expert with the third Blood Qi Breakthrough. Then, she would probably be unable to deal with him.

Just as the caravan was in chaos, Han Zhao, who was in front of everyone, said

indifferently,

"Leave these people to me. Don't go forward and cause trouble."

As he spoke, he patted the horse's back and his body rose into the air. He tapped the horse's head with the tip of his foot and in an instant, he floated ten meters in the air. After landing, the Blood Imprint accumulated in his legs and his speed suddenly increased. He rushed into the crowd.

"Sect Master Xiong?!" Feng Xiao was shocked. Before he could say anything, Xiong Ba charged into the crowd. How could he fight like this?

With eight Blood Tempering Realm martial artists working together, if they cooperated well, even a Force Tempering Martial Master might fail if they were not careful, not to mention that there were dozens of martial artists beside them.

"Young Miss, what should we do? Are we really just going to watch?" Feng Xiao hurriedly said.

If Xiong Ba was killed, they would be finished. There was still time to save him.

"Registered Elder Feng, let this Sect Master Xiong act like a hero. Perhaps he has true ability!" A registered elder of the Su family said in a low voice. His hands had already tightened the reins. Once Xiong Ba was defeated, he would immediately escape. Otherwise, he would definitely die against eight Blood Tempering Realm martial artists.

"Registered Elder Feng, I believe Junior Brother Han won't misjudge anyone,"

Xu Ling said seriously. "Let's not go up and cause trouble."

"Wow!"

Just as they were talking, two incomparably miserable cries suddenly came from the black-clothed person's team.

Sect Master Xiong rushed into the crowd. He was clearly wearing a golden robe that was not suitable for movement, but he seemed to be at ease under the siege of everyone. The other party could not even touch the corner of his clothes.

Two Blood Tempering Realm quasi-Martial Masters with red skin and explosive secret techniques were grabbed by the necks of each of them. Their heads collided, and their entire foreheads shattered and caved in. Brain juice splattered in all directions, but when they flew three inches away from his body, they were rebounded by an invisible force.

Anyone who approached him, even if they were gently brushed by his fists and feet, a bowl-sized bloody hole would instantly appear on their corresponding body parts. They would fall to the ground on the spot and not get up, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Eight Blood Tempering Realm martial artists led dozens of experts and were easily killed by him.

This was simply like an old master who had killed fish for ten years at the market. He resolved it easily with a smile.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

If they had not encountered a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist who used a secret technique, they would definitely think that Sect Master Xiong was facing a group of ordinary people.

"So strong!"

"Damn it, we've been tricked!"

"It's a Martial Master at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering!"

Terrified cries came from the group of men in black. Even ordinary Force Tempering Martial Masters would probably be skinned alive if they were surrounded by them. How could they kill them like chickens?

Only when they faced the hall master of the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering did they feel such an overwhelming difference in strength.

"Retreat quickly!" The lead Incense Master Wei shouted and ran.

The other party's Internal Force was too terrifying. He clearly did not touch anyone. In just two moves, his strongest subordinate was pierced through the chest.

Such a fierce and domineering Internal Force could actually continue to exert strength. If he did not leave, he would die!

When Han Zhao saw the other party escape, he immediately harvested the lives around him.

Seeing the Blood Tempering Realm martial artist that he had deliberately let go charge into the forest, he circulated his Wind Riding Force and chased after him.

"I didn't expect this Smaller Three Essence Force to be so strong?" As he chased, he sighed at the power of the three forces combined.

He had yet to reach the Force Tempering Realm. Using a large amount of Internal Force would consume too much Blood Imprint. Therefore, other than fighting Meng Jue to death last time, he basically would not use too much Internal Force.

This time, facing eight Blood Tempering Realm martial artists, in order to prevent himself from failing, he used 70% of his strength at the beginning. In the end, he realized that this Smaller Three Essence Force could actually complete a cycle in his body. Other than the moment he used his strength to kill the enemy, there was almost no waste.

Previously, he had also crushed Blood Tempering Realm cultivators, but at the very least, he had to use the saber and sword.

This time, for the sake of stability, he hid his saber and sword under his robe. In the end, he did not have the chance to unsheathe them at all. He easily killed the enemy with his fists and feet.

"Sect Master Xiong! Stop chasing!" Xu Ling and the others rode their horses forward and instantly disappeared.

"A Martial Master at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering! Did you all hear that?" Feng Xiao looked at the tragic corpses on the ground and could not help but gasp.

At this moment, the people behind him were also silent. No one spoke..

Chapter 91: First Battle with the Descendant of an Aristocratic Family!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Swoosh!

Bang!

A scarlet signal flare was released by Incense Master Wei. Like an arrow leaving the bow, it pierced through the gaps in the dense tree cover and soared into the sky. It exploded in the night, forming the word 'blood'.

His skin that was exposed outside his black clothes was red. He had already used the Blood Spirit secret technique to run with all his might. He felt that his heart was about to explode, but he did not dare to stop.

That fierce person was behind him. From the sounds coming from behind, he was clearly getting closer and closer to him. "F*ck! Are you crazy?!"

Incense Master Wei cursed in his heart.

There was an expert at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering in the trading company. The last time they were robbed, couldn't they have directly mentioned it? He would let them pass.

Right now, they had to fight it out, causing both sides to lose quasi-Martial Masters at the Blood Tempering Realm. There was really something wrong with them!

This time, he had brought seven Blood Tempering Realm subordinates. They were already half of the high-end combat strength of the Blood Spirit Hall. They were probably all dead now.

At this moment, a short and miserable scream came from behind him. He was so shocked that he circulated his secret technique to the limit, and blood had already begun to seep out of his skin.

Their side had suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although it was because the other party had a Greater Mastery Force Tempering Martial Master, they would definitely be punished when they returned. However, it was better than dying.

After running for hundreds of meters in one breath, he saw a figure standing at the intersection in front of him. He was immediately shocked. When he saw the other party's face clearly, his worry immediately turned into joy as he shouted,

"Hall Master Lin! Come and help! There's an expert!"

Because Lin Xie had suddenly joined the Blood Spirit Hall and snatched his position as the Vice Hall Master, he had always held a grudge. However, when he saw Lin Xie at this moment, Incense Master Wei felt as if he had seen another parent.

"Incense Master Wei, come over."

Lin Xie smiled and waved at him.

Incense Master Wei quickly ran to Lin Xie's side and hurriedly stopped the Blood Spirit secret technique. His entire body began to feel intense pain.

If not for the fact that the crisis had not been resolved, he would have collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Swoosh!

Han Zhao jumped down from the treetop.

When he discovered the other person, he activated the Wind Riding Leg with all his might to chase after him. He almost appeared not far from the intersection with the black-clothed person.

He sized up the young man standing beside the black-robed man. The other party looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a luxurious purple robe and had a silver belt with gems on it. There was also a palm-sized brocade bag hanging on his right waist.

Just by looking at his appearance, Han Zhao felt that the other party was dignified and imposing. He did not look like a martial artist at all, but like a noble young master who had gone out for a stroll.

This person was the descendant of an aristocratic family that appeared in the simulation? Han Zhao was shocked. The other party was too young.

Although he had indeed won in the simulation and now had the Smaller Three Essence Force, who knew if the other party would not use his ultimate move because of carelessness?

The reality was not a simulation. It was impossible to risk his life.

Even a lion would use its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

Han Zhao placed his originally lowered hands behind his back and grabbed at the air with his right palm. A seemingly formless power gathered and condensed in his palm.

"Your Excellency… Uh.

Han Zhao was about to divert the other party's attention.

"Ah!" Incense Master Wei screamed. He looked at the halberd that had pierced his heart and said in shock, "Are you crazy?!"

"From the looks of it, it's useless even if you're cured. What a waste of medicine! Why don't you become nutrients for the Red Dragon Halberd?"

Lin Xie smiled faintly as if it was a matter of course. He raised the halberd in his hand and lifted Incense Master Wei with one hand.

Incense Master Wei let out a miserable scream as all the blood qi in his body surged into the halberd.

After a while, he stopped moving and his body turned into a dried corpse.

"Gulp- Gulp-"

Han Zhao's expression changed slightly. He seemed to hear the sound of gulping water from the halberd.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have only brushed his waist just now, and a three-meter-long halberd appeared out of thin air.

"You're from an aristocratic family?"

Han Zhao spoke calmly and kept compressing the Three Essence Force in his palm.

"Oh? A mortal martial artist like you actually knows about the existence of the aristocratic family?" Lin Xie revealed a teasing expression.

"Mortal?" Han Zhao was stunned.

"Aren't martial artists below the Grandmaster Realm mortals?" Lin Xie said matter-of-factly.

"You guys cultivate diligently your entire lives, but very few people can become grandmasters. As long as the direct descendants of our aristocratic family reach adulthood, they can have strength that surpasses a Force Tempering martial artist. Even if you're also learning martial arts, you mortals can't compare to the disciples of an aristocratic family."

"Since you don't like mortals, why are you still saying so much?" Han Zhao asked.

"Your movement technique is not bad. You seem to be from the Longevity Sect. If you're willing to be loyal to me, you can become my first subordinate in the sect. In the future, when I become the Sect Master and recreate the Lin family, you'll be my Lin family's steward. How about that?"

Lin Xie chuckled and shook the halberd in his hand, sending Incense Master Wei's corpse flying.

"Otherwise, your fate will be the same as his. I will kill you in the most tragic way!"

Glancing at the corpse of the man in black, Han Zhao laughed.

"My fate is up to me and not the heavens! My fate will be controlled by me alone!"

Bam!

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood qi in his entire body erupted. The Three Essence Force in his right palm had already accumulated to the limit. He felt a sharp pain coming from the meridians near his palm.

Now was the time!

"Blood Explosion!"

As soon as he came up, he used his full strength and directly used the secret technique of the Blood Spirit Policy. A large amount of blood qi gathered towards his heart, and a powerful force surged out from his entire body.

"Hmph! You don't know how to appreciate favors!" Killing intent flashed in Lin Xie's eyes when he saw the other party suddenly charging at him. The palm was powerful, and the strong wind brought about by the palm made his face tremble.

However, Lin Xie was not afraid. He was furious.

"A mere mortal dares to challenge an aristocratic family? You're courting death!!" Lin Xie held the halberd in his hand horizontally. The thick tree was cut in half at the waist. He activated the power of his bloodline and the pitch-black halberd was instantly covered by a scarlet hot airflow. The black and red gems embedded in it glowed red.

A straight slash landed with a thunderous force. Black-red fog spread out like a black dragon.

This was the Lin family's Red Dragon Halberd Technique, Black Dragon Shallow Swimming! Only a few people in the younger generation had mastered it.

This was the first time Lin Xie had used this move after mastering it.

Although he looked down on martial artists in his mind, he did not underestimate his enemy too much. He used his full strength from the beginning, wanting to let this ignorant mortal see the power of a divine weapon!

"Don't be so stupid in your next life!" Lin Xie roared.

Bang!

Facing the halberd that was descending on his head, Han Zhao erupted with speed at the last moment and dodged it. Facing Lin Xie's reverse sweep, he slapped out with his left palm with all his might.

When his palm came into contact with the halberd, an evil Yin energy surged into his body.

However, he had the Pure Yang True Qi to protect his body. When the Yin Fiend Palm circulated, he refined all the aura.

He suddenly pulled the spear with his left hand, and his body suddenly slowed down as he pounced forward.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, the Three Essence Force hit Lin Xie, and his entire head instantly exploded. However, it was not brain matter inside, but squirming black and red flesh.

"This is the Binding Force?!"

The black and red flesh quickly accumulated, and the lower half of Lin Xie's head instantly recovered. He opened his mouth and laughed. "This is the difference between mortals and descendants of aristocratic families…

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Han Zhao's iron fist smashed his head again.

Loud bangs continuously sounded in the forest. Fallen leaves danced wildly in the surroundings, and soil, sand, and gravel flew in all directions.

It was not until the surging blood qi in his body calmed down that Han Zhao recovered from his violent state and stopped.

"The descendant of an aristocratic family…"

Looking at the pile of rotten meat on the ground, Han Zhao was puzzled.

"That's it?"

Didn't they say that Yang and Fire Internal Force countered Binding Force? He had only used the Three Essence Force with all his might and still had the Life Nurturing True Qi left unused! "System, what's going on? Why isn't he recovering?"

"No way? He died just like that?!"

Chapter 92: Divine Weapon Knows How to Make Compromises

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

. ' Seeing that there were no words on the system interface, Han Zhao scratched his head helplessly.

The Pure Yang True Qi in his body was too strong now. He could not even sense a small amount of Yin energy in his body.

There was probably not a single drop left in the system.

Right! It was time to collect the spoils of war again.

Han Zhao picked up the black halberd on the ground. It was quite heavy! It weighed about 40 to 50 catties.

"Huh?!"

Han Zhao's expression changed. He realized that there was a throbbing feeling like a human pulse coming from the halberd.

Immediately after, a consciousness seemed to be constantly tempting him.

It was as if he was saying, "Submit and I'll give you strength."

"A mere trash divine weapon wants to be my master? Dream on!"

Han Zhao sneered.

[Low-level Pseudo-Divine Weapon Fragment: The quality is average and contains highly condensed Yin energy. The consciousness is incomplete and can no longer maintain an independent consciousness. It only has less than a tenth of the power of a complete pseudo-divine weapon. Only with the bloodline power of an aristocratic family can the full power of the divine weapon be unleashed. When the bloodline is closely connected, spending money can restore the divine weapon's consciousness and increase its power.]

"Huh? How can there be a Trait?!"

Looking at the system notification, he was stunned.

"It's difficult! It's more practical to spend money to upgrade the service."

Han Zhao stopped thinking uselessly.

[If you don't charge gold now, you'll regret it later.]

Han Zhao ignored this clichéd notification and focused on the black and red gem embedded in the front of the halberd.

He felt that it contained Yin energy.

The system also notified him that the Yin energy here was highly condensed. It should be able to be used as a simulated energy.

Thinking of this, he placed his hand on the gem and tried to absorb the Yin energy inside.

"It really works!"

Sensing the pure Yin energy enter his body, Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, he felt an extremely strong sense of resistance coming from the halberd. It began to fight with him for the Yin energy.

At the same time, the halberd quickly turned red and emitted a scorching aura. Even though he had gathered the Three Essence Force in his palm, he could still feel this exaggerated temperature.

He hurriedly let go and stopped absorbing the Yin energy.

Clang!

The halberd fell to the ground and returned to black.

[Danger! Forcefully defying the will of the divine weapon to absorb the Origin Yin energy might cause the divine weapon to self-destruct. With your current soul power, you can't completely suppress the divine weapon and stop it from resisting.]

A system notification appeared.

"Can't I force myself on you?!" Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and pondered.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as he felt helpless, the Afterlife Sword and Severing Karma Saber under the golden robe trembled slightly at the same time and emitted a buzzing sound.

"This is…" Han Zhao unsheathed his saber and sword at the same time. The Afterlife Sword and Severing Karma Saber emitted a white and red light respectively.

At this moment, he picked up the halberd on the ground and felt a fear-like emotion coming from the halberd.

Got it!

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know you have intelligence and should understand what I'm saying. Don't you like to suck blood? In the future, provide me with some Yin energy every once in a while. I'll let you drink your fill when killing enemies!"

Han Zhao said to the halberd in a low voice.

"Of course, if you don't agree, I can only melt you and see if I can forge another obedient weapon."

Complicated emotions such as conflict, fear, anger, and helplessness kept coming from the halberd. The originally pitch-black halberd flickered with a faint red light as if it was considering.

After a while, he felt the emotions coming from the halberd and smiled.

"Deal, right? A wise man submits to circumstances. You know how to flatter others."

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Severing Karma Saber trembled again. The scarlet blade emitted an evil red light, and grievances spread.

"Ah, this…" Han Zhao was stunned.

He had forgotten that there was a Severing Karma Saber here. It also liked to suck blood.

His mind raced as he immediately came up with a countermeasure. He said to the halberd,

"How about this? Let's make a deal. In the future, when we encounter enemies, we'll split the blood 9:1. The Severing Karma Saber will absorb 90% of them, and you'll absorb 10%. How about that?"

Boom!

The pitch-black halberd was instantly covered by a scarlet hot airflow. The black-red gems embedded in it glowed red.

"Oh, don't be angry. 8:2? No, 7:3, okay?"

The scorching airflow on the halberd weakened a little, but it was still red.

"6:4!"

A wavering emotion came from the halberd.

Han Zhao snickered in his heart. He gritted his teeth and pretended to be in a difficult position.

"Half! This is fair and equal. You can't negotiate anymore! Otherwise, you'll have to fight with the Severing Karma Saber."

As he spoke, he raised the Severing Karma Saber.

A large amount of Life Nurturing True Qi surged into it, and the Severing Karma Saber emitted a dazzling red light.

An emotion called excitement came from the saber.

Buzz!

The halberd turned black again.

"Alright, deal!" Seeing that the divine weapon fragment had submitted, Han Zhao immediately sheathed the Severing Karma Saber.

What a joke. Whether the Severing Karma Saber could destroy a divine weapon was another matter.

Even if he could destroy it, what good would it do him?

There was a lot of Yin energy contained in this divine weapon fragment. It was better to keep it flowing than to destroy it. It was ultimately a stable source of Yin energy.

Even if the divine weapon fragment did not agree just now, he would not destroy it.

This was because his bottom line was to give 30% to the Severing Karma Saber.

Of course, he definitely could not directly reveal his limit at the beginning.

Master Lu had said that people liked to bargain. For example, if you said that this house was too dark and needed a window on the wall, no one would allow it. However, if you advocated tearing down the roof, they would relent and be willing to open the window.

Since divine weapons were weapons with intelligence, they could naturally be treated as 'humans'.

Now that they were splitting it 50-50, how good was that? Everyone was happy.

"Alright, stop flashing. This has nothing to do with you." Seeing the Afterlife Sword flickering and constantly emitting a white light, Han Zhao patted the hilt and sheathed the sword.

He had a feeling that the Afterlife Sword was stronger in terms of spirituality.

"The Severing Karma Saber is a little strange. Now, there are more divine weapon fragments. Why do I feel like a villain in a television drama?" Looking at the halberd in his hand, Han Zhao pondered and said.

"Forget it, why am I thinking so much? I'm not a gentleman to begin with. Why pretend?!"

With this thought in mind, Han Zhao felt that his thoughts were clear.

This world was a competition of whose fist was bigger. If he wanted to live a peaceful cultivation life, he had to become stronger.

Ji Zhuling bragged about the divine weapon shamelessly, but that was all.

As long as he was strong enough, the divine weapons would have to kneel and lick his boots.

He, Han Zhao, was unyielding. How could he kneel?

Only Xu Ling had a chance to make him kneel.

"Eh? This is?" Han Zhao continued to search the corpse. The Three Essence Force wrapped around his palm and he found an intact red brocade bag among the pile of rotten meat.

"The power of the Three Essence Force actually didn't destroy this thing. It must be a treasure!"

Han Zhao brought the brocade bag to his eyes and examined it..

Chapter 93: Sumeru Pouch, Help Cultivate a Good Habit of Carrying Money!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Sumeru Pouch: Made with the power of a divine weapon. It contains the power of space and can store items. Using Yin energy or true qi, you can open the bag, take out, or store items.]

"This is good stuff!"

Han Zhao was overjoyed.

He had never even heard of a treasure that could store things in this world.

He hurriedly injected Life Nurturing True Qi into it, and as if he was looking into his dantian, he 'saw' the storage space of a rectangular body. It was about four meters tall, about a meter long and wide, and its total volume was about four cubic meters.

Inside were a few sets of similar purple robes and some daily necessities.

Immediately after, Han Zhao 'saw' a money bag.

Swoosh!

As his true qi was activated, the money bag appeared in his palm.

He opened it and saw a stack of folded banknotes and some silver fragments.

Han Zhao licked his index finger, took out the banknotes, and counted them on the spot.

"100, 200… 5,200 taels!" He put away the banknotes with a smile. "The descendants of aristocratic families are really rich."

Back then, Kuai Wei only had ten taels of silver. If this aristocratic family's descendant was converted into an equivalent number of Kuai Wei, it could cover this small path.

"Wait!" Han Zhao suddenly thought of something important.

Even if not all the disciples of the aristocratic family had a treasure like the Sumeru Pouch, there were definitely powerful ones. He could not take the risk in reality. He could do it in the simulation.

They would definitely carry important things with them.

Didn't that mean…

[Hunt evil descendants of aristocratic families. While upholding justice, you can better earn money.]

Immediately after, a system notification appeared.

. ' Han Zhao fell into a short silence.

He put the money bag back into the Sumeru Pouch and continued to check the items inside.

Soon, he saw a black wooden box.

Swoosh!

His true qi took out the wooden box and opened it. There were two books inside.

Red Dragon True Technique.

Divine Weapon Sacrificial Ritual.

Han znao raised ms eyebrows and opened tne DOOR ot tne Divine weapon Sacrificial Ritual.

"Divine Weapon and Demon Blade, covering the world!"

"Origin Dharma power, crushing an army!"

Looking at the lines of words on the front page, Han Zhao subconsciously read them out loud.

What a bold tone!

He continued reading. Red Dragon Halberd, low-level pseudo-divine weapon…

The origin of a divine weapon was the power of Dharma. It was similar to the Great Divine Power of the Martial God.

"The Dharma Sacrifice and Blood Sacrifice both maintain the strength of the divine weapon…"

The book recorded that the halberd divine weapon was called the Red Dragon. It was a low-level pseudo-divine weapon, and above it were mid-level and high-level.

Above pseudo-divine weapons were true divine weapons. Their Weapon Masters could compete with Martial God.

The Red Dragon Halberd was of the fire attribute. Other than Yin energy, it could also release Fire Fiendish Qi to fight enemies.

However, it required the corresponding bloodline to unleash its full strength.

Or they could directly submit and obtain the recognition of the divine weapon. After becoming the first Weapon Master, they could completely unleash the power of the divine weapon.

Of course, even if it was a complete divine weapon, he might not be interested, let alone this pseudo-divine weapon. Moreover, it was a fragment.

"A sacrificial ritual, a blood sacrifice. They're simply treating humans as livestock! "

Han Zhao was greatly shocked when he saw the contents of the book.

The so-called ritual sacrifice was to regularly offer humans or powerful creatures as sacrifices to be devoured by divine weapons.

Depending on the characteristics, power, and personality of the divine weapon, the number of ritual sacrifices was uncertain.

Typically, it happened once every 20 years, but there were also divine weapons that were more greedy and needed to be sacrificed frequently.

As for the Blood Sacrifice, it was an expanded ritual of Dharma Sacrifice. It often required thousands or even tens of thousands of people as sacrifices.

This way, not only could it maintain the power of the divine weapon, but it could also make the divine weapon stronger and even advance to a higher-level divine weapon.

Top-notch divine weapons had the ability to create Anomaly.

"A thousand years ago, the Great Qin Empire and the Heavenly Saint Sect joined forces and prohibited the Divine Weapon Family from performing the

Dharma Sacrifice and Blood Sacrifice on ordinary people. They led 24 Martial

Gods to fight all the Divine Weapon families in the East Victory Continent."

"The demons participated in the battle. The spirit beast aristocratic family changed sides at the last minute. The Great Qin Empire collapsed, and the Heavenly Saint Sect fled to the outer sea. The three families and nine families were destroyed."

"The various countries explicitly prohibited 'Blood Sacrifice'. Otherwise, it would be considered treason and a declaration of war.

The last three sentences of the book made Han Zhao's blood qi surge.

It turned out that ordinary people were not raised like pigs and dogs today. It was obtained by the Great Qin Empire and the Heavenly Saint Sect.

More than a hundred cold words only recorded the outcome of the battle a thousand years ago. It was hard to imagine how tragic the process was.

"Top-notch divine weapons have the ability to create Anomalies. Anomalies contain high-quality Yin energy. This is the energy needed by the system. In other words…"

Han Zhao was enlightened.

Be it pseudo-divine weapons or Anomaly created by top-notch divine weapons, they all contained high-quality Yin energy.

As his strength increased, the Yin energy in the pseudo-divine weapons and Anomaly would probably not be able to satisfy him in the future.

"It seems a little childish to take it as my duty to revive martial arts. However, the path of Martial God is my pursuit. Divine Weapon Family… just you wait.' Slap!

Han Zhao closed the book and opened the other Red Dragon True Technique. "Red Dragon Halberd Technique! Red Dragon True Force?!"

Han Zhao roughly flipped through the content of the Red Dragon True Technique and saw the blood qi circulation diagram and the visualization diagram of the red flood dragon pattern on the last two pages.

"Looking at this blood qi circulation diagram, why do the true techniques of the aristocratic families look so much like Internal Force cultivation methods? However, there are also differences…" Han Zhao pondered.

The True Technique of the aristocratic families emphasized strengthening the power of the bloodline and increasing the adaptability to the power of divine weapons.

Simply put, it was still for the sake of the divine weapon.

However, if he cultivated this Red Dragon True Technique's blood qi circulation diagram as an Internal Force cultivation method, it seemed to work. In the end, he could cultivate the Red Dragon True force.

Or rather, this was a martial artist's cultivation technique to begin with and had been modified by the aristocratic family.

Black Dragon Dive.

White Dragon Soaring to Heaven.

Red Dragon Chasing the Sun.

Han Zhao looked at the three exquisite moves of the Red Dragon Halberd Technique and thought about how this descendant of an aristocratic family had made a lot of mistakes when he attacked just now. Most of the descendants of the aristocratic families probably relied on the power of their bloodlines to not temper their martial arts moves.

"Ji Zhuling said that the Weapon Master and the Martial God each have their advantages. If the aristocratic family is like this, the Weapon Master will probably be beaten to death by the Martial God."

However, he could not rule out the possibility that the disciples of top aristocratic families were strong in all aspects.

This descendant of an aristocratic family looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. After the awakening of his bloodline power, he directly had the strength comparable to a Force Tempering Martial Master.

Compared to martial artists, the lower limit of the descendants of aristocratic families was too high!

"I've practiced saber, sword, fist, palm, and leg martial arts. If I want to upgrade the [Barehanded Martial Saint] Trait, I still have to practice finger and claw techniques. "

"Now, there's another exquisite halberd technique. This Red Dragon True Force looks very powerful at a glance. It's a waste not to cultivate it." "If I add two more, won't I be in the top ten martial artists?!"

Han Zhao reacted.

After checking the contents of the Sumeru Pouch, he tied it up with a rope and hung it around his neck, covering it with his clothes.

Sizzle, sizzle..

Han Zhao took out a small porcelain bottle and poured the black liquid inside on the rotten flesh of the aristocratic family disciple. Soon, it turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the ground.

Then, he began to search the corpse of the man in black.

The other party only had less than 100 taels of silver on him. Han Zhao took note of his death. After pondering for a moment, he did not use the precious Corpse Dissolving Water on him and turned to leave.

"They're here!"

On the official road, looking at Xiong Ba floating over from afar, the merchant group who had already cleaned up the battlefield had respectful expressions.

"Sect Master Xiong, on your side…" Feng Xiao said respectfully.

"A Martial Master came, but I've already dealt with him." His calm tone was calm as if he had killed an ordinary person.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. It was actually…

"Sect Master Xiong, are we still going to Jiayuan City?" Xu Ling was a little hesitant. She didn't expect the enemy to have such a deep background.

"I will finish what I started.'

A reassuring voice sounded, and everyone calmed down.

"This Sect Master Xiong is really a hero among men. I really don't know how Han Zhao met him." Many martial artists were curious. They all respected Xiong Ba from the bottom of their hearts.

"Let's go!" Xu Ling waved at everyone.

"Let's go!

A uniform roar came from behind, and the momentum was greatly boosted..

Chapter 94: Nine Nether Mansion! Nemesis of Sin!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Compared to when they were carefully traveling in the dark, everyone held their torches high and walked majestically on the official road towards Jiayuan City.

Everyone could not help but focus their gazes on the tall and domineering back at the front of the team.

"That's how a man should be."

Many people had this thought in their hearts.

Unfortunately, the higher one went on the path of martial arts, the harder it was to walk.

Most of them only wanted to become a quasi-Martial Master in the Blood Tempering Realm. As for Force Tempering, that was something that they would only dare to dream about.

Even Feng Xiao, Xu Ling, and the other four quasi-Martial Masters of the Blood Tempering Realm had their goals above Internal Force.

However, even after grasping Internal Force, they probably wouldn't be able to easily kill eight quasi-Martial Masters of the Blood Tempering Realm like Sect Master Xiong.

Perhaps in the entire Blackrock City, only County Magistrate Wu Di could match this Sect Master Xiong.

However, they were more inclined to believe that Xiong Ba was stronger.

Now that he thought about it, Han Zhao was really lucky. Not only was he valued by the major families in the inner city, but he was also made an exception and registered with the three major families. Now, he could also invite a top expert at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering like Sect Master Xiong. His future was limitless.

'Junior Brother Han has really brought me another surprise.' Xu Ling's eyes swirled with joy.

Her man was so outstanding!

The most successful investment she had made in her life was to grasp Junior Martial Brother Han and give him financial and spiritual encouragement during his most difficult times. The return Junior Martial Brother Han gave her was more than ten times.

"In the future, the Xu family will be his. Junior Brother Han won't lose out either." Xu Ling lowered her head slightly and sized herself up. She couldn't help but smile.

Her Life Nurturing Technique was about to break through to the Third Level. At that time, the chances of breaking through to the second Blood Qi

Breakthrough would increase greatly. Then, she could follow Junior Brother

Han…

Clap, clap, clap!

"What are you thinking?! Xu Ling! When did you become so lecherous?!" Xu Ling patted her burning face hard.

At dawn.

A young master in white and a middle-aged man in a red robe appeared in the dense forest where Lin Xie had died.

Looking at Incense Master Wei who had turned into a dried corpse, the young man in white frowned slightly. "It looks like his blood essence has been sucked dry by the divine weapon. Did Lin Xie do it?"

The red-robed man squatted in front of the mud that was seeping with blood and shouted, "Sixth Young Master! Look over here!"

The young man in white walked over, picked up a small handful of soil, and sniffed it. Then, he took out a halberd from the Sumeru Pouch at his waist.

The halberd was completely black and there was also a black and red gem embedded at the front. From the outside, this halberd was almost identical to the one Han Zhao had snatched from Lin Xie.

The only difference was that the black and red gemstone on it was smaller.

At this moment, the young man in white touched the bloody soil with the tip of the halberd.

Buzz!

The halberd trembled slightly and began to turn red and hot.

The young man in white cursed softly, "Looks like Lin Xie was killed. I told him long ago not to be careless. What an idiot!"

"Then what should we do?! Lin Xie was killed. His Sumeru Pouch must have been snatched away. Wouldn't we lose the largest divine weapon fragment?!" The red-robed man looked shocked.

"The corpse is like this. I wonder if it was done by the aristocratic family or a martial artist," the white-robed young master pondered and said.

"Tonight, Lin Xie attacked together with Incense Master Wei of the Blood Spirit Hall. It seems like he wants to deal with a trading company in Blackrock City.

He couldn't even defeat Incense Master Wei's Blood Sacrifice divine weapon. The other party should be a two-vein expert.

"If he's a martial artist, he'll at least attain the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. Moreover, he'll be good at Fire or Yang Internal Force. He might even have mastered true qi!"

The red-robed man made his own analysis.

"It's very unlikely for a top expert of the prefecture capital to appear here. From the situation on the battlefield, his true qi shouldn't be that strong. The inheritance of a martial artist has been severed, so it's not easy to find a matching true qi cultivation method. What I'm most afraid of now is that the people from the Nine Nether Mansion will catch up." The white-robed young master's face was as dark as water, and his expression was very ugly.

"We've already fled from Chu to Great Wei. Could it be that Nine Nether Mansion is still chasing after us?!"

"That's hard to say! These people's obsession with divine weapons far exceeds your imagination."

"Find an opportunity to go to that trading company to investigate the situation, but don't expose your whereabouts. I'm still in the decline of my bloodline after my divine weapon shattered. I can't take the risk! If the person who attacked is related to the Nine Nether Mansion, everything will be over!" The white-robed young master instructed.

"Yes! I'll set off now!" The red-robed man quickly left the forest.

When only the young man in white was left in the field, he suddenly raised the Red Dragon Halberd in his hand and slashed at the ground.

Boom!!

The Red Dragon Halberd glowed red, and a huge pit was blasted into the ground.

"Trash! Idiot! How can you be so stupid! The family head is also an idiot! He insisted on handing the largest divine weapon fragment to you! Ah—!" The young man in white had bloodshot eyes as he attacked the ground crazily.

After a long time, the blood in his eyes gradually faded.

He regained his elegant appearance, tidied his slightly messy collar, and left the field.

Half a month later.

Blackrock City's north city gate.

The Lingyun Trading Company's team returned successfully.

Ever since the domineering and mighty Sect Master Xiong killed the enemy, the group of people rushed to Jiayuan City without any obstruction and successfully completed the transaction, earning a huge sum of money.

On the way back, they didn't even encounter any bandits. Clearly, it was thanks to Sect Master Xiong.

When they arrived at the northern city gate, Xu Ling dismounted. Feng Xiao and the other two registered elders hurriedly dismounted. "Sect Master Xiong, thank you so much for this trip!"

Xu Ling bowed respectfully.

Han Zhao placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "There's no need to be so polite. I'm just fulfilling my promise. Goodbye."

With that, he circulated the Wind Riding Leg and left.

Where did Han Zhao get such good luck? Why was he chosen by such a powerful martial artist? Why couldn't they?

Everyone looked at Xiong Ba's back view and could not calm down for a long time.

[20 Notification Fragments have been collected. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]

[Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…]

[Current Balance: 20 taels of gold]

Looking at the notification on the system interface, Han Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

"With the Yin energy source of the Red Dragon Halberd fragment, I can probably simulate it once in two months."

The divine weapon promised to provide him with Yin energy regularly. He had to find some wanted criminals and let the divine weapon eat.

It was impossible to get a divine weapon to work for free now. "When I have the power to suppress the divine weapon, I'll see how you resist!"

The initial accumulation of resources was really too difficult!

He had already made a name for himself in Blackrock City and had many sources of income.

If he wanted to obtain Yin energy, he needed powerful strength. If he wanted to increase his strength, the most direct way was to add points. However, the prerequisite for adding points was to obtain attribute points through simulation.

Now, he could only rely on his own efforts.

Fortunately, his aptitude had already increased to the medium level. With the support of the rich woman, Xu Ling, his cultivation speed was not slow.

'I've already killed all the stronger wanted criminals in Blackrock City. From the looks of it, I can only go to Jade Wind City.' Han Zhao thought to himself. He had already told Xu Ling in the letter that he was out on an errand and wouldn't be returning for the time being. "This is considered upholding justice."

Han Zhao rushed towards Jade Wind City..

Chapter 95: Three Sisters of the Lian Family, Three Wonders Arrow, and Three Spirits Arrow Manual!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nine Links Town.

In the center of the town, Jiangyue Restaurant, Room B on the fifth floor.

The three girls sat around the table.

One of the girls was staring at the window in a daze. Her black hair hung down naturally, and her almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks were half-covered by her fair face. Although she looked like she had yet to reach adulthood and had yet to fully grow, it could not hide her graceful and elegant face.

Most importantly, the three girls looked almost identical.

Lian Chengbing rested her chin on her hand and fell asleep.

Lian Chengxue chattered non-stop.

Lian Chengyu would only reply when she heard effective information.

As for nonsense, she ignored it.

"Sister, when are we going to set off? The first round of bloodline decline has already passed. If we don't replenish the Yin energy of the Three Wonders Arrow and delay the arrival of the second round of bloodline decline, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive, let alone become a Weapon Master." Lian Chengxue complained.

"What's the hurry?! Aren't I in the midst of contacting someone? We have to find someone trustworthy and capable. There are many descendants of aristocratic families who have fled to the Cloud Prefecture, but the Cloud Prefecture is so big. Don't tell me you don't know how low the probability of meeting descendants of aristocratic families in such a small place is?" Lian Chengyu had a fierce expression.

Lian Chengxue pouted. "Even if we find the descendants of aristocratic families, we might not be able to trust them. We might as well find some martial artists to travel with us.

"I think that Young Master Song is very good. Just because of a promise, he barged into the village alone. He saved our lives but doesn't want us to repay him. He's powerful and reliable."

"His looks are also one of my types, and…"

"Hmph…" Lian Chengyu sneered and said angrily, "Second Sister, is that because you like him?"

"Ah?" Lian Chengxue said, "Sister, you can't say that. Didn't you look at him at that time? You looked at him longer than I did. How dare you say that about me?!"

Lian Chengyu couldn't hold it in anymore and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't! I just wanted to judge if what he said was true by observing his expression."

"Then why are you blushing?" Lian Chengxue suddenly shouted, "Wow! And you said you didn't…

"I'm going to kill you!" Lian Chengyu grabbed her second sister's mouth and pulled her out forcefully. She took out the air of a big sister. "If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Her cherry lips were pulled to the extent that she could swallow two eggs in one gulp. Lian Chengyu was in so much pain that she drooled and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Big… Big Sister, I… was… wrong!"

"Song Que, believable." A childish voice that sounded like a girl's sounded. Lian Chengbing, who had been listless, suddenly spoke.

The Yu and Xue sisters immediately turned their attention to her.

"Third Sister, do you think Song Que can be trusted?" Lian Chengyu's expression turned solemn.

Her third sister had a special talent since she was young. She could roughly sense if the other party had any ill intentions towards her through his words.

In a situation where the difference in strength was not very huge, the accuracy of this innate ability was more than 90%.

If she said that Song Que was trustworthy, then she was most likely right.

"Mm." Lian Chengbing nodded.

"I just don't know how strong Song Que is. If he's a pure martial artist, he has to have the strength of Force Tempering to be able to help us. Ordinary martial artists can't deal with Fiendish Corpses. Moreover, there's a high chance that Corpse Puppets will appear among the Anomaly we found. Without grasping Internal Force, going would be courting death," Lian Chengyu pondered and said.

Back then, they had been traumatized by being caught, so they left in a hurry without thanking Song Que for saving their lives.

In hindsight, she felt a little apologetic.

Although they would definitely give Song Que enough benefits if they asked him for help, he had to be alive to take it. Otherwise, wouldn't they be harming him if they asked him to go?

"I think the speed and accuracy of Young Master Song's saber strike are about the strength of Force Tempering. Moreover, more than half a year has passed since that time. Even if he only had a third Blood Qi Breakthrough at that time, he should have broken through now. In any case, I'll contact Young Master Song first. Otherwise, it's meaningless to say anything else," Lian Chengxue said seriously.

Even though she cared a little about appearances, she was not brainless. She naturally knew how dangerous it was to do something.

"Alright then." Lian Chengyu agreed.

"Alright, it's settled then!" Lian Chengxue clapped her hands and said, "I have a feeling that Young Master Song will definitely come looking for us."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Don't we still have about a year to prepare? I don't believe that Young Master Song won't come looking for us. Don't you see that when the people here see us, their eyes can't wait to pop out? Young Master Song is a man too. I don't believe that he doesn't like beautiful women.'

"Alright! After this is done, I'll give you to him as a reward."

"Big Sister-!" Lian Chengxue rebuked, "Why didn't you say that you would give him the Three Wonders Arrow and Three Spirits Arrow Manual?!"

"You're in heat yourself. Don't bring me and Third Sister along!" Lian Chengyu's face was filled with disdain.

"Yes, yes." Even Cheng Bing added.

Jade Wind City.

In the past month, something strange had happened in the nearby area.

That was, a Saber Hunter named Song Que suddenly appeared. As long as it was a mission to capture a wanted criminal, he would accept it. Furthermore, the success rate of the mission was as high as 100%.

The other party had even flattened the three bandit nests entrenched in the mountains around Jade Wind City.

This caused many Saber Hunters to either catch wanted criminals at the Skin Tempering Realm or follow the officials to catch thieves. They were just short of directly working in the county office.

Although this move had touched the interests of some people, Song Que's strength was shocking.

Even the Force Tempering Martial Master in the city was frightened back by

his saber.

Therefore, no one dared to meddle in his business anymore.

Everyone thought that he had nothing better to do.

Of course, there were also rumors that Song Que was actually looking for treasure on a nearby mountain under the guise of capturing criminals.

No matter what, the security level in the vicinity of Jade Wind City had increased exponentially.

To the commoners, it was best to kill all those damned wanted criminals and heinous bandits.

Song Que's actions were very satisfying and received the admiration of the people at the bottom. There were even people who erected a longevity memorial tablet for him at home.

However, no one knew that Song Que would not appear again for a short period of time.

At the same time, a tall man called Ding Xiu appeared on the busiest street in the inner city.

This person was Han Zhao.

More than a month ago, he went to Jade Wind City with the excuse of looking for external help. At the same time, he brought Meng Jue's steel spear and entrusted it to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion for auction.

It took him half a month to disguise himself as Xiong Ba and escort the caravan. When he returned to Jade Wind City, he was busy upholding justice to feed the divine weapon and Severing Karma Saber.

Reality proved that it was not that the officials of Jade Wind City did not have the ability to capture all the surrounding criminals in one fell swoop. It was just that they did not want to.

In order not to get into a conflict with the local large factions, he did not kill the Force Tempering Martial Master who came looking for him. However, the other party was also tactful. No matter what he did later, no one stopped him..

Chapter 96: Simulation, Preparing to Attack the Divine Sword Manor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Han Zhao walked into the hall of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and was quickly invited to the private room on the fourth floor that was specially used to entertain VIPs.

"Brother Ding, you made me wait so long!"

Fang Ling walked into the private room with a smile.

"Brother Fang, I didn't expect this trip to take so long." Han Zhao cupped his fists.

"Brother Ding, the 3,000 taels of silver banknotes obtained from this auction have been exchanged for gold according to your requirements."

Fang Ling clapped his hands.

A maid walked into the private room with 30 gold ingots weighing 10 taels on a tray.

"Brother Fang, according to the rules, you have to take a commission from the auction, right? Moreover, the exchange ratio between silver and gold seems to

be… "

Han Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Sigh… Brother Ding, you're being too polite. We're friends. This little money is nothing." Fang Ling waved his hand.

"Brother Fang, if you need any help, feel free to tell me."

Han Zhao smiled.

"Brother Ding is indeed straightforward and straightforward!" Fang Ling gave him a thumbs up and said seriously, "As a member of the aristocratic family, Brother Ding should know about Anomaly, right?"

"Of course." Han Zhao nodded. He already knew what Fang Ling was going to say, but this was much earlier than in the simulation.

"Actually, three descendants of aristocratic families entrusted us to find some good people for them to enter the Anomaly together. They seem to be looking for something. Do you think you can…" Fang Ling explained.

"I'll definitely help Brother Fang, but I'm still a distance away from grasping Internal Force. With my current strength, my life will probably be in danger if I enter the Anomaly."

"Of course. Of course, I won't let Brother Ding take the risk. Besides, the client needs nearly a year to prepare. They're not in a hurry to set off now."

"How about this? I have a friend called Song Que. Brother Fang should have heard about it recently."

"Song Que?!"

Fang Ling was shocked and nodded.

"I can let him handle this. Although Song Que has just grasped Internal Force, he's proficient in saber techniques and has also cultivated the Cold Yin Internal Force. If he goes to the Anomaly, his strength won't be greatly weakened. He's considered a suitable candidate," Han Zhao explained.

One year of preparation time was originally not enough for him to simulate it twice.

However, this time, the divine weapon had recovered some of its strength, so according to the agreement, he could absorb some Yin energy.

Coupled with the Yin energy provided by the Essence Soul Bead, two simulations would definitely be enough.

If he went to Jiayuan City to uphold justice again, perhaps the Yin energy

would be enough for three simulations.

If the three simulations showed that the Anomaly of the Divine Sword Manor couldn't be dealt with, he could only go back on his word.

In any case, what did Song Que and Ding Xiu's broken promises have to do with him, Han Zhao?

"Cold Yin Internal Force? Brother Ding is really a big help." Fang Ling looked happy. He had only mentioned it. He did not expect Ding Xiu to have an expert recommend him.

To martial artists, the Cold Yin Internal Force was one of the rarest Internal Forces because it was especially difficult to cultivate and harmed the body.

"Brother Fang, I'll help you find him, but whether your reward can move him is not something I should think about," Han Zhao added.

"Of course," Fang Ling replied.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Han Zhao stood up and put the gold into the money bag.

"Brother Ding, I'll send you off."

Fang Ling sent him out the door.

Fang Ling frowned slightly as he watched Ding Xiu leave.

"Is this Song Que Ding Xiu in disguise? Or is he Ding Xiu's guard?"

Recently, Song Que's matter caused an uproar. Even the Wei family's Martial Master had taken action, but he had returned in a sorry state.

"Why should I care so much? As long as we confirm that Ding Xiu is from an aristocratic family, everything else has nothing to do with me."

Fang Ling shook his head and laughed. When he returned to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, he still had to inform the client.

A Force Tempering Martial Master from the Fang family would also go with him on this trip. That person was his cousin, Fang Zheng. He also cultivated the Yin Internal Force. If he could absorb Yin energy from the Anomaly, there was a high chance that he could enter the Greater Mastery stage of Force Tempering.

Fang Zheng was five years younger than him and had a chance to break through to the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm. This was the key to the Fang family's rise.

"System, charge."

[Current Balance: 320 taels of gold]

As soon as Han Zhao walked out of the door of Jade Wind City, he charged 300 taels of gold into the system.

This month of missions had earned him hundreds of taels of silver.

The three mountain strongholds had earned him a little 8,000 taels of silver. In addition to the 5,200 taels of silver he had obtained from the descendants of the aristocratic families, he now had more than 14,000 taels of silver.

[Collected 55 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…]

Looking at the remaining number of Notification Fragments, Han Zhao decided to simulate it first.

Since there was still a year left, he could add some points to the Vajra Technique to increase his aptitude and speed up the cultivation of many cultivation methods.

He had yet to cultivate the Red Dragon True Technique that he had just obtained.

The more cultivation techniques he used to grasp Internal Force at the same time, the stronger the Internal Force he would obtain when breaking through.

However, the more he practiced, the slower his cultivation progress would be.

The total blood qi of a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist was usually 4-5 to 7-5 times that of a Skin Tempering Realm martial artist. After this, even if there was an additional 0.1, it would be a huge breakthrough.

This was the information he had obtained from Lu Yi.

This was because human martial artists had a racial upper limit.

He was already close to 10. His total blood qi had already exceeded the limit of an ordinary human martial artist.

This was also the reason why he could fight above his level.

"No matter what, I'll train first. If I can successfully defeat the Anomaly of the

Divine Sword Manor, I can obtain a large amount of Yin energy." After thinking it through, Han Zhao muttered in his heart,

"Synthesize. Beginning simulation."

20 years old. Your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was perfected and you broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough realm. You agreed to Fang Ling's request and decided to use Song Que's identity to head to the Divine Sword Manor.]

[At the end of the year, Xu Ling broke through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough. You completed the third Blood Qi Breakthrough and cultivated the Mountain Shaking Fist and Yin Fiend Palm to the Third Level.]

[You used the Essence Soul Bead and the Yin energy in the divine weapon to strengthen the Yin Fiend Force.]

21 years old. Your Wind Riding Leg was cultivated to the Perfected Third Level.

Through cultivating with Xu Ling, you successfully grasped Internal Force.]

[Then, with the support of Xu Ling's resources, you used half a year to cultivate the Mountain Shaking Fist, Yin Fiend Palm, and Wind Riding Leg to the Fourth Level. You have reached the Small Mastery stage of the Three Essence Force and the three essence circulate endlessly.]

[After that, you went to Jade Wind City as Song Que and met Fang Ling.]

[Ten days later, the three sisters of the Lian family appeared. Soon, two Force Tempering Martial Masters and three one-vein descendants of aristocratic families appeared.]

[You explored the Divine Sword Manor at night together and encountered

Fiendish Corpses. Then, you encountered Corpse Puppets that were

comparable to Force Tempering Martial Masters. In the end, the demon appeared.]

[Two Force Tempering Martial Masters and three one-vein descendants of aristocratic families were killed.]

[You relied on the Small Mastery Three Essence Force to deal with the demon.

The three Lian sisters activated their divine weapons to assist you.]

[After a huge battle, your Internal Force circulated continuously, but your stamina gradually decreased.]

[The two sisters, Lian Chengyu and Lian Chengxue, sacrificed their lives for the

Blood Sacrifice divine weapon. Two arrows left their bodies and sent you and Lian Chengbing out of the Anomaly.]

[Not long after you escaped from the Anomaly, you were caught by the demon. Lian Chengbing suffered a backlash from the divine weapon and was seriously injured and fainted.]

[You fought with the demons from midnight to sunrise. In the last strike, you severely injured the demon, but your true qi was also exhausted and you died from exhaustion..]

Chapter 97: Upgrading the Vajra Technique, Connate Extreme Yang True Qi (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Looks like this demon has the strength of a One Qi Grandmaster."

Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao pondered.

This should be the demon who was frightened away by Lu Yingxuan.

At that time, Lu Yingxuan was a Two Qi Grandmaster and had even cultivated the "Heaven Fiend Demon Technique" which sounded very powerful. Considering that she had the strength to resist a Three Qi Grandmaster, this demon was probably at the level of a One Qi Grandmaster.

"The Three Essence Force is indeed powerful!"

Han Zhao's eyes lit up.

The previous simulation had already proven the power of the Three Essence Force. In reality, he could also rely on the Smaller Three Essence Force to beat up Force Tempering Martial Masters, but the Three Essence Force after grasping Internal Force still exceeded his expectations.

In the simulation, he had broken through to Force Tempering less than a year ago. The Three Essence Force was only at the Small Mastery Realm.

Ji Baiwei had once said that demons had extremely strong physical defense because of the advantage of an innate race. They were much stronger than martial artists of the same level. Only the disciples of the top Divine Weapon Family and the spirit beast aristocratic family could fight demons of the same level.

Fighting across major realms was not something ordinary people could do.

Moreover, he could fight a prolonged battle with demons.

"Even with my stamina, the reason why I could last until dawn is probably because of the Life Nurturing True Qi. Otherwise, even if the Three Essence Force can be endless and continue to fight high-intensity battles, my body would have long collapsed."

"Unless the Three Essence Force is perfected and fused with the perfected Life Nurturing True Qi to evolve into the Three Points Origin Returning Technique, the endurance is still not enough."

"However, when the Three Essence Force is perfected, I'll at least reach the Greater Mastery stage of Force Tempering. After fusing with the Life Nurturing True Qi, I'll probably be able to directly break through to the Grandmaster

Realm. "

Han Zhao thought to himself.

"It's not realistic for all the cultivation methods to grasp Internal Force at the same time. Even adding points is not enough. After grasping Internal Force, raise the Three Essence Force to the Small Mastery Realm first."

In the simulation, he did not have the Trait bonus, so his cultivation speed would be much slower than in reality.

Furthermore, he could rely on his own efforts to add points.

[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]

[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.] [Current Balance: 260 taels of gold]

"Two."

Han Zhao made his choice without hesitation.

[Attribute Points 18]

Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (Second Level Entry Level 7%, Upgradeable)

Looking at the Vajra Technique in the martial arts column, Han Zhao took a deep breath and recalled the pain he felt when he broke through last time.

A full three seconds. It was simply hell.

Attribute points could be added to any cultivation method, but his body was his. This cultivation method that changed his foundation would definitely cause a huge change to his body. Pain was inevitable, not to mention that this was more than a hundred times better than his own cultivation.

Of course, he understood the logic.

But it still hurt!

Han Zhao was eager to return. The 800-kilometer journey from Jade Wind City to Blackrock City ran back in one go.

At night.

Inner city, Yonghe District.

In a room in the backyard of the Han residence.

Xu Ling's face was flushed red, and her hair was messy as she lay in Han Zhao's arms and listened to him recount what had happened on this trip.

"Junior Brother Han, don't play tricks! Otherwise, you'll…'

Xu Ling pouted and pulled his hand away.

"Huh? Just what?" Han Zhao looked at her confused face with a smile. It wasn't that he despised flatness but that she was too tempting. He couldn't help but want to tease her.

Xu Ling shyly hid in his arms and said softly, "I… want to too."

"Alright, put aside the matter of the trading company during this period of time and hand it to Supervisor Su Yun." Han Zhao raised Xu Ling's chin.

'Why?"

"Because you have to break through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough as soon as possible and cultivate to the perfected second Blood Qi Breakthrough in a year."

"Did you encounter some trouble?!"

Xu Ling suddenly sat up. The blue floral undergarment with the pattern of "Phoenix Wear Peony" shook, and the shoulder strap fell off and attached to her waist. It was purely because of her innate advantage that it did not fall off completely.

Han Zhao felt a surging tide in front of him and hurriedly pulled her shoulder strap. "Lie down quickly. Don't catch a cold."

Xu Ling looked at him in confusion.

Han Zhao leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Let me tell you secretly. I'm about to grasp Internal Force."

Xu Ling sat up from the bed and cried out, "What?! Grasp Internal Force!!"

"Don't make me dizzy!"

Han Zhao said angrily.

"Dizzy?" Xu Ling was stunned. She looked down and hurriedly hid under the blanket, revealing only her small head.

"Junior Brother Han, what exactly is going on? I only know that you should have reached the second Blood Qi Breakthrough. Why are you suddenly grasping Internal Force?"
