Chapter 17: To Blackstone City

People are in good spirits at happy events, and the moon is round from the mid-autumn equinox.

On the official road leading to Black Rock City, Zhang Yue walked alone, admired the landscape flowers, and visited the village and Yedian all the way, so he was at ease.

It has been more than a year since he was separated from He Ping, and during this period, he has been hiding in the green book to practice the "Tianze One Style", and has now reached the second-level realm.

He Ping's real name is He Zhijiong, and he is the leader of the disciples of the "Nuhai Sect" among the seven major factions, and the "Tianze One Style" is an unexpected gain when he practiced in the Xiongmang Mountains more than 30 years ago.

According to him, at that time, he was lucky, he actually got a fifth-level spirit grass unexpectedly, and did not encounter the guardian herb beast, when he took the herb in his pocket, but was attacked by a pair of snow sculptures; just when he thought he was going to die, he was rescued by a middle-aged scribe-like person; he never expected that the pair of snow sculptures was actually his spirit beast.

He gave the fifth-level spirit grass he had just received as a thank you gift to the other party to show his gratitude.

That fifth-level spirit grass was exactly what the other party wanted, they had just killed the fierce beast that guarded the spirit grass, but they didn't want to be picked up by He Ping for a "leak".

The middle-aged scribe didn't want to take advantage of He Ping, and when he saw that he was using a spiritual spear, he casually took out a book of marksmanship cheats and used it as an exchange; and said that it was created by himself in his early years, and it was incomplete, only a type of marksmanship, and there was a lack of follow-up supplements; the biggest advantage of this marksmanship was that mortals could also cultivate, reach a first-level realm, and then achieve the wonder of "physical cultivation", while He Ping was limited to qualifications and spiritual root attributes, and could cultivate to a third-layer realm at most, and there were some pearls secretly cast; after finishing speaking, he took a pair of snow sculptures and floated away, disappearing in an instant.

He Ping was amazed by the extraordinary strength of the middle-aged scribe, in terms of his body alone, he was only seen in his life, so he immediately carefully read the secret book of marksmanship, not wanting to see that it was a supreme mastery, far beyond all the collections of the sect, and then began to practice day and night.

A year later, when He Ping's marksmanship reached the first level, it coincided with the martial arts competition of the sect; he did not expect that he would easily defeat the senior brother of the son of the head of the sect who was high in the past with only three shots; he did not expect that this move almost cost him his life.

The head of the family, He Changsheng, originally wanted to take advantage of this competition to help his son ascend to the throne and become the first disciple of the next generation, but he didn't want to make a halfway way to bite the gold; He Zhijiong's appearance made him waste his efforts not to say anything, but it greatly damaged his son's face and the prestige he had established in the past.

He Changsheng not only didn't like the appearance of a cultivation wizard in the sect, but thought that He Zhijiong was deliberately sabotage, coveted the position of the first disciple, and deliberately embarrassed his son and himself, and held a grudge.

On the pretext of inspecting the meridians and entering the realm of the participating disciples, He Changsheng crossed a trace of the true element that had done tricks and feet into He Zhijiong's body, causing him to go mad in the fight with the fierce beast, fall into the raging torrent on the side, and almost die.

He Zhijiong was washed away near the "Yellow Tree Bay" in the lower reaches of the river, and happened to be rescued by Huang Xiu'e who came here to wash his clothes.

When Zhang Yue wanted to use his true qi to treat his injuries, he was greatly moved; you must know that the cultivation of true qi is extremely difficult, and it is the result of accumulation over time, he himself is a dual cultivation of wood and water, and he knows that the use of wood exercises can be used for treatment; but he is extremely injured, and after returning from thorough cultivation, he does not know how many spring and autumn seasons he will have to go through again, and there is a danger of stagnation; he and Zhang Yue are not related to each other, and the other party resolutely comes to the rescue.

He knew that Zhang Yue's "Little Wood Jue" was the king of the wood system, and compared to his "Mu Rattan Technique", he didn't know how much it was refined; at the same time, Zhang Yue was a "stunned young man", he didn't know anything, and he didn't know that there would be a "consequence"; as a result, he not only recovered from his injuries by mistake, cured the source of his madness, but also swept away the true yuan of the wood system that He Zhijiong had practiced hard for decades and adopted it for his own use, which can really be said to be 'foolish people have foolish blessings'.

He Zhijiong naturally reciprocated with all his might, not only giving Zhang Yue the secret book of the "Tianze One Style", but also teaching him by hand; he never expected that Zhang Yue had not only cultivated the "Wood", "Fire", and "Thunder" three series of exercises, but also cultivated the "Illusory Heaven" miraculous skills of the wind system, and was even a "first-class array mage"; according to his estimates, Zhang Yue's cultivation of the "Tianze One Style" could reach at least the sixth-layer realm, and its potential was far superior to his, and he couldn't help but be very happy, and the "Tianze One Style" finally chose the master and made the best use of it.

The "Tianze One Style" is divided into nine layers, and if you want to cultivate to the realm of Dacheng, you must have the spiritual root attribute of the "wind system".

In the contact, He Zhijiong found that Zhang Yue was simply a "rookie" who had just entered the cultivation realm, and had no experience to talk about at all; but he was kind-hearted, eager for justice and righteousness, and sincere in treating others, and he was a genius who drew inferences from others on the way to cultivation, which made him extremely appreciative, if he didn't perceive that Zhang Yue's exercises were far above him and his potential was unlimited, he would have the desire to accept him as a disciple.

He Zhijiong patiently explained everything in the Demon Cloud Continent to him, taught his own experience without reservation, and personally created a steel gun with the same style as a wooden gun for Zhang Yue, which was reserved for his early cultivation and self-defense.

"This is just a piece of mortal iron, it can only be used for cultivation, but it can't fight with high-level cultivators, I suggest you go to 'Black Rock City' and seek the help of 'Han Yuelang'; they not only have all kinds of elixirs, spiritual weapons, and magic weapons, but also have 'refiners' themselves, it is best to tailor a 'spiritual weapon' spear for you according to this style." He Zhijiong said, took out his spirit weapon spear, and took out five hundred dazzling spirit stones.

"You use this medium-grade spirit weapon spear of mine as a base, and add these five hundred spirit stones, it should be almost enough. ”

Zhang Yueyan can win people's love, and he knows how important it is for a monk to have a weapon at hand.

"Brother He, this gun is the foundation of your life, and I must not accept it, as for the need to build a 'spiritual weapon', I have my own way to make money. ”

The two pushed and shoved for a long time, and in the end, Zhang Yue had to accept the five hundred spirit stones for cultivation.

When Zhang Yue resigned, he once again refused He Zhijiong's escort, saying that he would not rush to the "Black Rock City" in a short time, and that he would have to experience more time, and might even find a remote place to retreat in peace.

There is Xiao Jin's ready-made "sparring partner" in the green book, Zhang Yue's marksmanship can be said to have made rapid progress, when the "Tianze One Style" reaches the second layer of entry, even Xiao Jin is far from being an opponent; the reason is very simple, the cultivation of "Tian Ze One Style" is based on the footwork of the "Wind System", and the "Phantom Heaven" is the supreme mastery in the Wind System, so he enters the realm very quickly.

Only then did Zhang Yue leave the Qingshu World and march towards the "Black Rock City", visiting the people all the way, learning more about and contacting the Demon Cloud Continent, barren mountains and wilderness, when there was no one around, he would release Xiaojin, take the opportunity to find spiritual grass and materials, accumulate wealth, and strive to achieve his first goal as soon as possible.
