Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Thousand Rivers in January (Part II)
"You are going to be rampant, and the poor road will come back!hahaha~~"
In the small courtyard, Shang Shaohong laughed heartily, and couldn't help but imitate Xiahou Mo's parting words.
Shang Shaoyan's attention fell on the talisman in Yan Li's hand - "Five Thunder Tiangang Positive Law Talisman".
"Brother Xian is really a good means, the fourth-order talisman that has been stimulated can be sealed and collected!" Shang Shaoyan exclaimed, "A few days ago, Brother Xian needed to deal with innate masters such as Wang Chuan and Zou Tong, and he still needed to design a variety of layouts;
"Xiahou Mo's biggest mistake is that he shouldn't use the thunder method in the realm of the Cloud Sect. If it were a different spell, I wouldn't have been so easy. Yan Li said leisurely, "In this world, cultivation has never been the same as combat power. Just like the battle of the annihilation of the Wang family at the South Wharf, the Kingdom City was just forging bones and cultivating, but it was able to rely on a Nine Abyss Ghost Blood Talisman to fight into a stalemate with the innate master Zou Tong.
"The "Wind and Thunder [***] Sword Array" in my hand is carefully refined by the prince with several hard labors. Unless it is a master who can compete with the prince, or a magic weapon or talisman refined by a person of the same level, it is difficult to match. Tianfengguan actually appointed a few ordinary warriors to chase after them, which was a mistake - it was the prince who killed them, not me.
"The difference between man and beast is that man uses tools instead of relying on his minions. Could it be that only the sword of a martial artist is a tool, and the magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, and formations of a cultivator are not tools? Brother, don't sanctify these things just because they are rare. Tools are tools! If the prince had investigated this point before, prepared a few more tools, and sent them to your predecessors for self-defense, how could there be a loss of Zhongyuan?"
Shang Shaoyan thought deeply when he heard this.
The truth of these remarks is like the strength of an army, which does not depend only on the quality of its soldiers, the discipline of the army, and the strategy of its generals, but also on its weaponry and logistical support.
Unarmed elite troops can't defeat the outcasts armed to the teeth. It's just that it's almost impossible for that to happen.
This reason, if you use the world of earthlings as an example, it will be more intuitive: any level of sanda master and taekwondo black belt, when he encounters a middle school student pointing a pistol at him, he will not dare to act rashly.
When there were only eighteen paper figures in the sword formation refined by the Martial King, even if no one operated the formation, it could make the masters of the three major sword sects retreat. Today, the thirty-six paper figures are complete, and Yan Li, who is proficient in the formation, is in the middle of the command, unless the Jade Emperor Guan discharges the "Thirty-six Tiangang Demon Punishment Array" that besieged and killed the Martial King back then, there will be no chance!
However, what Yan Li said just now is not entirely true.
The truth is true, but in terms of details, there are two misleading:
First, attributing all the achievements to the formation refined by the Martial King made people ignore Yan Li's own ability to urge the formation. In fact, the technique of collecting the talismans that have been activated is very amazing. Now the merchant brothers think that it is the effect of the formation, while the other forces will think that there is another master in Chi Yunguan's ambush, so they have successfully hidden Yan Li's identity and cultivation.
Second, it is not that the former King of Martial Arts did not equip Yu Qingyue and others with talismans and magic weapons, but that before Yan Li took out the "Wind and Thunder [***] Sword Array", where could he find such powerful hole cards?
In particular, the thirty-six paper figures are combined with the technique of the Yellow Turban Lux and the unique talisman method of the Yun Sect, in which the magic is stored in one mind. Although on the surface, it seems to be the same as Xiahou Mo's agarwood, but the technical content in it is more than a step away!
The topic about Xiahou Mo didn't last long, and there were more important things today.
The merchant brothers each drank the hidden dragon elixir and studied the "Green Dragon Pan Sword" with Han Xi.
Dragon Qi can be said to be the most mysterious existence between heaven and earth. A trace of dragon qi can make a living being surpass its peers. To some extent, the "hidden dragon" with dragon qi may be even rarer than the character with spiritual roots. Not only do they have an extraordinary cultivation speed, but they also have a faint luck.
Conversely, dragon qi can also be counted as a special spiritual root.
There are many top-level inheritances in the world, which require pure yang body, Xuanyin qi, and even half-alive and half-dead corpse bone veins. These are all special spiritual roots, which do not belong to the five elements and do not list the images of gossip. Its owners are not normal humans, either they have all kinds of spirits, or they seem to be demonic beings.
The requirement of the Qinglong Pan Sword is to carry the dragon qi. It can be deduced from this that dragon qi is also a type of special spiritual root.
Then, the effect of "Qianlong Dan" developed by Yan Li is against the sky. It can be - artificial spirit root!
Not only that, but this artificial spiritual root can also be gradually strengthened under the long-term consumption of "Qianlong Pill".
If this matter is known by the major immortal sects, I am afraid that "Wind and Thunder [***] Sword Array" will become a small trick, and all eyes will be focused on "Hidden Dragon Pill".
The addition of dragon qi not only makes the body function strong, multiplies the perception ability of the martial artists, but also allows them to clarify their minds and learn martial arts. Despite this, "Qinglong Pan Yue Sword" is still a difficult top-level inheritance, and the three of them do not have Yan Li's transcendent enlightenment surname, so they cannot achieve it overnight, so they can only slowly learn from the basics.
But for Yan Li, at this moment, everything is already on the right track, and she just needs to implement the plan step by step.
Before the fall, a large number of medicinal materials from the Hengjiang Gang were also delivered to Chi Yunguan as promised. Yu Wenlong and Du Hong, the main and deputy helmsmen, personally escorted them, so they were naturally polite.
They chose this time to deliver the goods, and naturally there were many considerations.
Master Yan personally took over the affairs of the merchant brothers, and it was impossible to hide the eyes of the Hengjiang Gang. Similarly, the pursuers of Tianfeng Guan are not very secretive. Yu Wenlong has been in Western Qin for a long time, and he is related to the Splendid Palace, and it is impossible for the story of King Wuwu to be unheard. They delayed an hour to deliver the medicinal herbs, which must have been the result of careful weighing of the pros and cons.
The weights are not complicated.
First of all, it was the Jade Emperor who came forward to besiege and kill King Wu, and the role played by the Splendid Palace was rarely known, and the status of Yu's father and son was of course impossible to know. Therefore, the trade between the Hengjiang Gang and the Han family cannot be regarded as a betrayal of the Splendid Palace. As for the idea of the Jade Emperor View, it has nothing to do with the Splendid Palace.
Secondly, for the Hengjiang Gang, the alliance with the Han family has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to draw hands casually. And the Splendid Palace is obviously happy to see this happen - these female cultivators also need the resources of Eastern Qi and Southern Chu.
In the end, Splendid Palace admits that its relationship with the Hengjiang Gang is secret. They also thought that they could use the Hengjiang Gang as an eyeliner to investigate the arrangement of King Wuwu, but they didn't know that Yu Da Shao and Du Shaoxia had already sold them
Therefore, after Yu Wenlong discovered the relationship between Yan Li and the merchant's brothers, he immediately asked the peripheral figures of the Splendid Palace for instructions through secret channels, and did not receive any reprimand. Instead, the other party told him that everything was going on as usual, that he didn't need to pay attention to anything else, and that he would report back as soon as he found anything.
Of course, regarding such secret transactions as Snow Mountain Xianzhi, Tianchi Daylily, and Jinbei Tiger Bone, Yu Wenlong would not mention a word. The news he reported for the first time only showed that he was conscientious and loyal, and his actions were slightly wrong because he was at the bottom and lacked intelligence.
Under such a background, Yu Wenlong accepted Master Yan's warm invitation without hesitation and stayed with Du Hong in Chiyunguan. And Master Yan used a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill to settle all the payments for medicinal materials, which was an unexpected joy.
Pills are priceless, and they are always more important than silver to martial artists!
Yan Li made such an arrangement, of course, with her own considerations.
The day after tomorrow, it is Yu Qingyue's "mourning" day, and there must be various characters in the name of condolences to try the truth. In fact, there are many characters, I am afraid that they can't wait for the day after tomorrow, and they will appear tomorrow - since ancient times, funerals are major events, and it is the respect for the owner to arrive one day earlier.
Especially the lark gate that Yu Qingyue was still thinking about at the last moment, no matter what, someone should arrive tomorrow!
In addition, today, Xiahou Mo fled in disgrace, and he said that he would definitely not live in peace. What's more, since the trial candidates of the Daomen have appeared, it is impossible for the Confucian Sect and the Shi family to lag behind, and it is time for the ghost city of Fengdu to react.
Tomorrow will be a lively day.
The Hengjiang Gang, which has the background of the Splendid Palace, can be used to block trouble.
