After defeating the Lingyun Pavilion Lord Huangfu Yulong and returning to the Futu Gate, Li Bin plunged into the Xuanwu Hall and continued to cultivate his internal strength non-stop. After this battle, Li Bin more clearly understood why he was always able to defeat Wu Xuexiu as an opponent on a par with himself, and even with Wu Xuexiu as a master who was a level stronger than himself, where was the biggest secret to winning, that is, the true qi in his body was far purer than these opponents who had fought against him, so he could be invincible.

The purer the True Qi, the more powerful the moves can be exerted in actual combat. This is actually the relationship between quantity and quality, and within a certain range, the power that can burst out of a small amount of pure true qi is stronger than that of a large amount of pure true qi.

Of course, the difference between the two of them in this true qi gap cannot be too big, if a person's martial arts cultivation is only at the level of the acquired realm, and his opponent has reached the innate realm, the gap in cultivation between the two is too big, even if the person's true qi in the acquired realm is purer than the innate realm, then it is extremely difficult to smooth out the huge gap between the two people's skill cultivation. Besides, the martial arts cultivation of the acquired realm, the purity of true qi essence is not much higher.

After eliminating the forces of Lingyun Pavilion, many thorny problems were solved, and the business of Bazhou Futu Gate became smoother and bigger. Under the efforts of Qian Yucai, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall and the "business wizard" of Futumen, the first batch of silk purchased by Bazhou was sold overseas, and businessmen from all over the world were greatly admired by the quality of Daqi's silk.

Half a month after the annihilation of the forces of Lingyun Pavilion, when Qian Yucai, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, took the latest month's Futumen Industrial accounts to Li Bin. Li Bin couldn't help but look sideways, and Li Bin kept a close eye on the balance of the bill. Hold your breath and take a closer look. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Qian Yucai with a smile: "The total income of this round of overseas trade is more than 20 million taels of silver, Yucai, you have done a good job." Very good. ”

"Thanks to Master's wisdom, Yucai is just implementing Master's ideas and plans. Qian Yucai smiled humbly.

"Master, our round of ocean trade has earned a total of 10,350,000 taels of silver, excluding the cost consumption. Bazhou silk alone contributed six million taels of silver. Analyzing the trade information fed back from overseas trading stations, Yucai boldly suggested to the master, asking the master to agree, to expand the variety of goods purchased in Bazhou, in addition to high-quality silk, Yucai believes that the sales and potential of those exquisite workmanship, large quantity and cheap cloth fabrics in Bazhou are also very large. Qian Yucai thought for a while and said to Li Bin.

The reason why Li Bin is not qualified for Qian Yucai. The disciple who is weak in martial arts is entrusted with the important task, which is to value and appreciate Qian Yucai's keen and unique judgment and decisive and meticulous execution. It is precisely these unique spiritual traits that enable Qian Yucai to quickly stand out among the thousands of disciples of the Futu Sect and serve as the most important foreign affairs hall elder in the Futu Sect.

Li Bin thought for a moment about the suggestion made by his disciple. Encouragement said: "Yucai, your proposal is very good, let it go." ”

"Yes. The disciple thanked Master for her trust and support. Qian Yucai bowed respectfully and withdrew, and began to carry out the implementation of related matters.

Li Bin learned from Qian Yucai's latest January Futumen income and expenditure accounts. The Bazhou Jewelry Store earned a total of 550,000 taels of silver from the various jewelry items sold this month, which is not a large amount. But this is nothing less than a big encouragement for Li Bin, the 150,000 taels of silver spent on buying the jewelry store that day have already paid back in just one month, and he has earned an additional 400,000 taels. You must know that these jewelry and jade are all obtained by Li Bin from his experience, and the silver obtained from the sale of jewelry goods is a net income, which is also a large income channel.

"Master, the disciple was ordered by the King of Chu to lead all the brothers and sisters back to Futu Gate. In this northern operation, the number of disciples dispatched by the Futu Gate was 605, and now 605 people have returned, and there are no casualties. Jingwutang Elder Yun Shi descended from the sky and came to meet his master Li Bin and said.

"Well, it's good to come back. Did the King of Chu also return to Beijing? Li Bin asked.

"Master, the King of Chu received the emperor's decree and was transferred back to Beijing. Now all the military power of the Qi army in the north belongs to the emperor. ”

"Oh, it seems that the old emperor is old and suspicious, and he is not at ease with his son." Li Bin could completely guess the meaning behind the old emperor's letting the king of Chu Qi Xing resign his military power and return to Beijing.

"This ...... The disciples don't know. Li Bin said, Yun Shi was puzzled and didn't know how to reply to the master.

"Yunshi, pass my order, notify the kitchen, prepare a feast for the disciples of the Futu Sect who have gone to the north this time, and wash the dust."

"Disciple commands!"

In any case, the old emperor ordered the king of Chu to call off his troops and return to Beijing, which was always a good thing for Daqi, at least it showed that the Turkic attempt to invade the south was not so strong, and Daqi could live a stable life for the time being.

The next day, Li Bin received a martial arts invitation letter from Ye Zhenren, the leader of the martial arts league and the national teacher of Daqi, which said: "In view of the sinister environment of internal and external troubles that Daqi is currently in, the strength of the various martial arts sects in Kyushu is scattered and weak, and they have not been able to twist into a rope and clench to form an iron fist. ”

After Li Bin finished reading, he closed his eyes and pondered: "At such a point in time, Ye Zhenren, the leader of the Martial Arts League, advocated the election of the leader of the Martial Arts League, and this matter seems to be by no means as simple as the letter said. If the new leader of the martial arts alliance is won by Ye Zhenren, then the power of the prince's side will rise sharply, and with the strong support of Kyushu Wulin, the prince can once again sit firmly on his throne as the prince, and then win the emperor's throne. At that time, even with Li Bin's firm support, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, is likely to be defeated from the battle for the throne.

Li Bin thought about it, he must go to the Junshan World Heads Conference this time, and he must strive to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. If you don't think about yourself, you are for the sake of the people in the world, and you must not let the prince who has no virtue and no talent sit on the throne of the emperor. Only Qi Xing, the king of Chu, who has both virtue and political integrity, and is a gentle and kind person, is the blessing of the people of Great Qi and the blessing of the country.
