Taoist master wants to ascend

There is a new director in the inner courtyard.

That day, Li Yuan learned the news as soon as he arrived at the shop, but what surprised him was that.

"The knife-catcher is Yu Zhen, how could it be him?"

With his peripheral vision, he glanced at Yu Zhen, the swordsman who was scolding his apprentice in front of the courtyard gate, and Qin Xiong, who seemed to have just left after talking. Li Yuan secretly became vigilant in his heart.

After Fajiu Shan came back, he kept paying attention. The reward for Nianjiu was raised to two hundred taels again. Almost most of the city guards were chasing the murderer on the city guard, and each family played mournful music for several days.

The knife catchers in the city have long since left.

This is true...

"Perhaps he was also involved?"

Li Yuan was wary, but he did not turn around and leave. He went to the inner courtyard as usual and met with the new master with the other apprentices.

Yu Zhen seemed to have forgotten him a long time ago. He said a few words casually, then yawned and left. Yue Yunjin was still teaching the apprentices.

"Junior Brother Li, there will be a small meeting in the inner city in four days. Do you want to go with us?"

Wu Ming put down the stone grinder that was holding him back and walked over.

"Miss Lu's little moment?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. After Tang Tong left, Wang Gong met him several times, but never mentioned the matter again.

"you know too?"

Wu Ming was slightly startled, then nodded:

"Mr. Zhang told you that there are six quotas in our courtyard for worshiping in the Divine Weapon Valley next year. No, they are assessment quotas."

"Master said it."

The two found a secluded place to talk, mostly Li Yuan asking questions and Wu Ming answering.

"Shenbing Valley is a thousand-year-old sect, and all the cities and counties in Zhelong Mansion follow its lead. It is the real overlord."

When Wu Ming mentioned the Valley of Divine Weapons, his eyes were full of reverence and yearning:

"The last time the gate of the Divine Weapon Valley was opened was decades ago. Normally, none of us are qualified to enter the Divine Weapon Valley. We must not miss this opportunity."

Li Yuan thought for a while and accepted Wu Ming's invitation.

He was also very curious about the Valley of Divine Weapons.

On the way back to the forging room, he accidentally glanced and saw Niu Gui and Liu Qing communicating in a low voice in the corner of the martial arts arena. They dispersed when they saw him approaching.

"These two people?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

They are all apprentices in the Intermediate Court. Even if they separated, their personal relationship was not bad, but seeing him suddenly separated?

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Thinking that Liu Qing got together around the time Qin Xiong was transferred away, Li Yuan felt a little cold.

I'm afraid that bear has already set its sights on him...

After changing his mind, Li Yuan turned around and went to the forging room without any intention of alerting the enemy.

…

Li Yuan took three days off.

In the past three days, Li Yuan did not go to the weapon forging shop. He was familiar with the new control combination at home, and also rented a small courtyard in a nearby alley through Yaxing.

Of course, I needed it urgently, so I paid a few extra bucks.

After that, he asked Li Lin to accompany him to buy some tables, chairs, bedding, etc. After three days of busy work, he moved in.

"This is not how you spend your money. We have enough room in our house, so we have to move out."

At night, in the newly rented courtyard, after having had enough wine and food, Li Lin, who was supported by Wang Juan, was a little drunk and still complained.

He kept talking about how to save money, get a wife and have children.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and be careful."

Li Yuan dealt with it and sent his second brother home. Li Yuan took a long detour and became familiar with the streets and alleys of Chaiyu Fang. He had to take this detour every day for the past three days.

"The last Leopard Titus Yijin Pill!"

Li Yuan was a little reluctant to give up. He couldn't bear to buy the twelve pills each, but he had to admit the effectiveness of this pill.

The tendons are one inch longer and the strength is three points greater. This is the best elixir to assist in martial arts training.

"Keep it for now."

Putting the elixir back into the bottle and stuffing the bottle into Liuhe boots, Li Yuan raised his head and swallowed a blood-accumulating elixir. Feeling the slight heat rising in his body, he started to fight in the room.

Relying on the power of Baotai Yijin Pills, in just a few days, he found that his small blood circulation had begun to move towards a large circulation.

"If the Leopard Tai Yijin Pills are enough, it feels like a large circulation will be formed in a few months at most, but it's a pity..."

After slowly completing the twenty-four positive and negative postures, Li Yuan broke out in a sweat. The blood in his body was exhausted, so he had to swallow another blood accumulating pill.

This was repeated several times, and it stopped late at night.

"It hasn't rained for several days..."

After taking a look at the moonlit night sky with few stars, Li Yuan closed the doors and windows, took off his clothes and fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, he went to the forging room as usual and learned the techniques of quenching, tempering and polishing from Zhang Bi.

Near noon, he put down his forging hammer and went out.

"Junior Brother Li, here!"

Wu Ming was already waiting outside the door, and Yue Yunjin, who had recovered a lot, was also there, nodding reluctantly, looking like he was worried.

The three of them headed towards the inner city. On the way, Yue Yunjin was silent, while Li Yuan asked about the gathering. He was very interested in the Valley of Divine Weapons.

But Wu Ming didn't know much more than he did. The only person who was useful was Miss Lu's aunt, who was said to be an inner disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley.

"Magistrate Lu's sister-in-law is also from Shenbing Valley? It's so intricate..."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

The inner city is much more prosperous than the outer city. At noon, the aroma of wine and meat is wafting in the streets and alleys.

"Yizi Restaurant."

Li Yuan looked up.

This restaurant has nine floors, making it the tallest building in the inner and outer city. It belongs to the "Yi Zi Inn". All the people who come and go there are rich. I heard that one meal costs one or two taels of silver.

When we got here, Yue Yunjin was fine, but Wu Ming was a little cautious. Both of them had good family backgrounds, but this was his first time here.

"You three, please come this way. Miss Lu has already given the order."

A waiter came forward to greet me, bowed and led the way with a smile.

Li Yuan was not too restrained and looked at the restaurant with interest. The decoration was good and the layout was not bad. There were waiters bowing their heads outside each private room.

"Brother-in-law!"

As soon as they reached the third floor, someone came over, dressed in brocade and elegant, and greeted Yue Yunjin with a smile, and a smile appeared on the latter's face.

The young man was quite talkative. After a few words of conversation, Li Yuan knew that this man was the Inner City County Lieutenant and the son of Qiu Da's immediate boss, named Liu Zheng.

"The breathing is strong, the qi and blood are full, and the qi and blood are also strong. Is it more solid than Yue Yunjin?"

Li Yuan was not surprised.

As long as you get started with martial arts, you can master it from mastery to great success, you can keep up with the elixirs, and you can quickly accumulate bones.

There is no shortage of wealthy households in the inner city, and it is not uncommon for people to have great energy and blood.

But the real difficulty is not to accumulate blood energy, but to break through the inner energy.

"This is Liu Yunwu, the fourth son of the County Cheng family."

"Wen Yida, the third son of the county prime minister's family..."

"Miss Wang Peiyao, Miss Wang..."

…

Liu Zheng led the way into the private room and introduced the three of them.

There were more than a dozen people in the private room, all of whom were bright and beautiful, and it seemed that the few people from the outer city were a little shabby.

‘Really, there are no white men in our dealings! ’

Li Yuan clicked his tongue in his heart and glanced at Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, who looked unhappy.

There were many young ladies from the inner and outer cities, so these two seemed less outstanding. Of course, it would be different if they were the young ladies from Shopkeeper Cao's family.

The Cao family of Blacksmith Shop is not a small family.

"Everyone, sit down first."

In the crowd, a woman spoke.

As soon as she opened her mouth, all the gentlemen and ladies in the private room stopped talking.

It goes without saying that this soft-spoken, delicate-looking young lady is Lu Bailing, the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate Lu Yunqing.

…

After some polite exchanges, Li Yuan found a corner and sat down next to Wang Gong, who looked ugly.

"Well, this pastry is good, and the fish is also very tender. Tsk, honey water..."

The young masters and ladies were chatting enthusiastically, and Li Yuan was listening and tasting the delicious food.

Especially honey water. He hadn't drank sweet water for a long time.

Unlike the apprentices in the outer city, the ladies and gentlemen in this private room knew a lot, and they talked about a lot of things that were considered secrets for Li Yuan at this time.

In name, the imperial court is the co-owner of the world, but in fact, in the Zhelong Mansion, the Divine Soldier Valley is the sky.

This is a different dynasty system from the previous life. Li Yuan has read a lot these days and knows the reason.

Pang Wenlong, the great ancestor of the Great Fortune, had just started his army when he was seventy years old. All the sects responded to the clouds and conquered the world together. The disciples of each sect have already penetrated into every aspect for more than a thousand years.

In the end, a pattern was formed in which the Universiade established the country with force and ruled the world with sects.

"Similar to the enfeoffment in the previous life? The difference is that the sect is not king, but it can indeed influence the court and even control the court..."

"Three thousand divine guards?"

"Zhelong Mansion, list of hundreds of martial arts schools?"
