Chapter 162: Jing Shuhu Goes Fishing

The morning light broke, the sun was high in the sky, and the golden light fell on the forest full of ice crystals.

"The library has only two floors, the inner and outer floors. The so-called secret building was built by the previous valley master after the library was stolen. The best martial arts secrets in the valley are stored in it."

In the forest, Jing Shuhu paced, Li Yuan followed slowly, and Yu Jin and other old soldiers followed from a distance, not daring to get close.

"The so-called secret is naturally kept secret. Historically, only the valley master and the young valley master can enter and exit freely. I am a little special and can enter and exit occasionally."

Jing Shuhu pinched his beard and glanced at Li Yuan. Although the latter knew it, he still pretended to be surprised and puzzled.

"I was very gifted in the past, and the old valley master favored me very much. He once allowed me to enter and exit the secret building..."

Li Yuan was naturally shocked and flattered.

Jing Shuhu was very famous in the past. His reputation as a genius in casting weapons once threatened Gong Yangyu at that time. If he had not been seriously injured, he would have been very likely to become the valley master.

In the past, the top three true disciples all received this treatment. Of course, Jing Shuhu would not mention that Han Chuijun also received this treatment.

"That's enough."

Seeing his expression becoming more and more exaggerated, Jing Shuhu glared at him unhappily:

"You want to practice multiple martial arts in order to change your form. I have no objection, but I also want to warn you a few words."

Li Yuan bowed.

"Change your form is the beginning of the true entrance of martial arts, but remember not to be too obsessed with it. Han Chuijun's way may not be suitable for you."

Jing Shuhu said in a deep voice, with rare solemnity:

"There are many good seedlings in the Hammer Weapon Hall, but they are obsessed with it and have not been able to open their meridians. You should take this as a warning!"

"I have learned from you."

Li Yuan's expression became serious. He did not have a big obsession with changing multiple forms at the same time. Otherwise, he would not have developed so quickly.

However, he had the weapon-controlling talisman, which gave him a huge advantage in practicing various forms at the same time, so he would not give up.

He was ready to go hand in hand.

"Yeah."

Jing Shuhu nodded. At this time, the two had already arrived outside the library.

Li Yuan was very perceptive. He naturally stopped here and went to the outer building to read. After waiting for more than an hour, Jing Shuhu came back and handed him a secret book.

"Ancient Elephant Six-Form Hammer Method. If this hammer method is cultivated to perfection, it can be changed to six forms. However, few people have been able to practice it in the past few hundred years."

"Change to six forms?"

Li Yuan was shocked. I'm afraid it is the top among the middle-level martial arts?

But, what about the fundamental diagram?

"Grand Elder..."

"Don't be too ambitious!"

Jing Shuhu's face sank: "The fundamental diagram can only be used when the hammer method is highly developed. You haven't even entered the door. What do you need the fundamental diagram for?"

"The fundamental diagram is the essence of a martial art..."

Li Yuan wanted to explain, but Jing Shuhu had already left: "If you want the fundamental diagram, you have to beat another top-grade famous weapon first!"

This old man is trying to keep me hanging!

Li Yuan was speechless, knowing that the old man was afraid that he would be addicted to martial arts and delay the art of casting weapons.

But I can really do it!

"By the way!"

After walking a few steps, Jing Shuhu turned back and said, "Don't go down the mountain these days. If you need anything, let Yu Jin know to do it..."

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled and thought of Sun Zan.

Before he attacked and killed last night, he heard this old guy say that he leaked his information to Sanyuanwu?

"In short, just focus on forging iron."

Jing Shuhu didn't say much and left with a gloomy face.

"Being valued too much also has troubles."

Holding the secret book, Li Yuan thought about it and accepted it.

He has been repairing weapons for so long, and he has never seen the control blessing related to the 'Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer'.

Even if he really got the fundamental map, he couldn't control it.

"Let's practice first."

Li Yuan put away the secret book. Without the martial arts of the fundamental map, he can only practice by himself.

But his root bone talent is already very good, and his progress in practice is also very fast.

He also practiced the skills that Han Chuijun had left behind, such as the Bull Kung Fu, Eagle Claw Grabbing Hand, White Deer Lifting Technique, and Hawk Step, to perfection.

"It's a pity that there is really no martial arts that can change the Jiao Xing."

Li Yuan felt sorry and turned back to the yard. He hadn't slept all night, so he was going to make up for the sleep.

...

On the way back to the Weapon Casting Valley, Jing Shuhu passed by the Divine Weapon Pavilion and caught a glimpse of Sun Zan's collapsed courtyard.

"The bait was eaten by someone before I put away my rod?!"

Jing Shuhu's heart sank slightly, and his eyes were dangerous.

He walked around the courtyard, closed his eyes slightly and reviewed it, and his eyes changed:

"Flying around the beam and hitting the head with a backhand. This is so neat and tidy, Ba Wan and Fang Baoluo couldn't do it. It can't be that old man Han Chuijun who did it?"

He frowned and returned to the Weapon Casting Valley, found Lei Jingchuan, and scolded him. The latter was sprayed with saliva on his face and almost rolled up his sleeves to fight.

"Old man, did you take the wrong medicine?!"

Lei Jingchuan was furious.

"No?"

Jing Shuhu was more and more suspicious. His junior brother was not so cunning.

"What about me?"

Glancing at the busy blacksmiths in the forge, Lei Jingchuan said in a bad tone: "I have never left the valley!"

"Not you? Then who killed Sun Zan?"

Jing Shuhu frowned.

"Do you suspect that I killed Sun Zan?"

Lei Jingchuan came to his senses: "Are you crazy? I have no grudges against him, why would I kill him?"

Jing Shuhu glanced around and said in a low voice:

"I learned from the Supervisory Hall that Sun Zan was suspected of colluding with Sanyuanwu in secret. It is very likely that Shi Hong instructed him to target Li Yuan..."

"Varied?"

Lei Jingchuan's tone suddenly rose: "How dare that boy be so bold?!"

It's really not him?

Seeing his reaction, Jing Shuhu shook his head inwardly: "This is just my guess. It may also be that Sun Zan made his own decision."

"Then Sun Zan will never be so bold."

Lei Jingchuan frowned: "You should have caught Sun Zan immediately!"

"What's the use of catching him? Without evidence, who will believe you?"

Jing Shuhu's face was as dark as water: "Once Sun Zan dies, those who are connected with him will definitely be shocked, and I'm afraid they won't take action."

"unless……"

"No!"

Lei Jingchuan saw something from his expression and immediately objected: "You can go fishing if you want, Li Yuan can't be used as bait!

I also hope that he will become a master craftsman and bring back the treasures left by the ancestors. I must not risk him! "

"You can only catch thieves in a thousand days, but how can you prevent thieves the day before? If this group of people is not caught, they will always be a hidden danger."

Jing Shuhu paced: "Besides, assassinating Sun Zana is also very dangerous."

"That's not OK."

Lei Jingchuan had nothing to do, but he still shook his head and disagreed.

Jing Shuhu was not annoyed. He had not made up his mind at first: "Then, let's ask Li Yuan in a few days."

Lei Jingchuan frowned.

…

"Whoever wakes up from the big dream first will know it in my life."

After finishing his sleep, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Li Yuan stretched out and had a rare dream.

Meng himself was still in the small supermarket, still tinkering with the heaven-giving ceremony, and was eventually swallowed by darkness.

"I guess it was influenced by the description of blood sacrifice in Lao Han's book 'The Theory of Bones'?"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart, he had some doubts about blood sacrifice.

Before he got up, he leaned against the bedside and squinted his eyes, and began to count the gifts from 'Sun Zan'.

The director of Shenbing Pavilion is obviously a very lucrative job.

Except for the true inheritance, all the disciples who went to the Shenbing Pavilion to exchange for weapons have been ripped off to some extent.

After decades, the wealth accumulated is also very objective.

"It's really good at looting!"

After doing some counting, Li Yuan was a little surprised. The old guy had more than three or four times more house deeds and land deeds in his name than Ding Zhi.

He counted with his fingers and found that the deeds to these houses and fields were worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver!

On Shenbing Street, the most prosperous street in Fucheng, Sun Zan has more than forty shops, all of which are in good locations.

"It's a pity that it won't see the light of day."

Li Yuan counted.

Sun Zan spent most of his net worth on real estate, but he also had a lot of cash, including thirty-four thousand taels of gold, silver, and jewelry.

In addition, each sword is a high-grade famous weapon, and it is worth thirty thousand taels of silver.

But there are very few elixirs and no secret books.

"That's right. He hasn't achieved great success in these years. He probably didn't get the matching qigong and was addicted to pleasure. Is this the reason?"

Most of Ding Zhi's gifts were left unspent, and another wave of gifts from Sun Zan made Li Daoye rich.

"No wonder the old saying goes that no one can be rich without a windfall."

After counting back and forth several times, Li Yuan suddenly felt that for many killers in the Star Reaching Tower, the reward was just a tack.

From the many bounties, choose the 'fat sheep' who will earn the most?

With Sun Zan's family background, if he were to be a true disciple, he would have to accumulate it for decades without eating or drinking. This is a huge amount of wealth.

"If we sell these two high-grade weapons, we will have enough money to advance the weapon to the sixth level!"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

In addition to fine gold, the materials needed to advance the weapon to the sixth level can all be exchanged for silver. Red gold is not uncommon in the Divine Weapon Valley.

"Well, let's make a small change. It's best to upgrade the weapon to the sixth level before Sanyuanwu's troops come to the city."

Li Yuan thought in his mind that with his current status, purchasing these iron materials was just a small problem.

It makes sense that the Weaponsmith Wizard has some quirks, right?

After counting back and forth several times, Li Yuan nodded. He cleared the obstacles and solved the problem of promotion to Zhangbinglu. He was in a good mood.

"Well, I've already asked for leave, so I'll just rest for a few days."

Leaning against the bedside, Li Yuan took out the booklet sent by Lao Han and studied Qianjun Qigong.

The strength reaches one foot, and the energy reaches three feet.

It is self-evident that the gap between internal energy and internal energy is huge, and it is naturally difficult to turn energy into energy.

Transformation masters such as Ding Zhi and Sun Zan have not achieved this step. Of course, the latter may not have supporting qigong.

But it also shows how difficult this step is.

“The first step in dispersing and gathering the invisible into Qi, and transforming energy into Qi, is to integrate the internal energy. I have achieved inner strength, and this step is considered completed.

The second step is to break up the energy. The various energies are indistinguishable from each other. Then, with the help of different breathing methods and the special environment, they are slowly transformed into Qianjun Qi..."

Li Yuan silently recited it word by word, analyzing it in his mind.

Over the past six months, as he has read more and more books, his martial arts background is no longer as shallow as before, and he has his own understanding of turning energy into qi.

Breaking up the energy and converting it into Qi can be broken down into many steps, but it is not impossible to do it all together.

"Well, the Cun Shen Xiao Huan Dan is more suitable for use here. Well, I have two pills, Ding Zhi left eight pills, and counting Sun Zan's three pills, I think they are enough."

Thirteen small God-preserving pills were worth ten thousand taels, which meant that Li Yuan had made a fortune, otherwise he would have been reluctant to part with them.

In fact, other true legends would not have this luxury at this stage.

"Fortunately, there is no rush to turn energy into qi. Many true disciples and elders only started to change their form."

Li Yuan closed the secret book, and his confusion was gone.

Sect disciples often have a systematic inheritance, and rarely take detours when practicing martial arts, which is also the advantage of the sect.

"Now, I can start 'changing shape'!"

Li Yuan put away the secret book, and he was looking forward to it.

The changing shape state is called 'entering the hall' by people in the martial arts world. Only when you reach this stage can you be considered a master.

In Han Chuijun's eyes, changing shape is the beginning of being inhuman.

"I have the root bones of fifteen shapes. Once I succeed in changing shape, even if I don't use the blessing of the palm of arms, Sun Zan, Ding Zhi and the like will never be my opponents!"

Li Yuan put on his shoes, stood up and opened the door, looking at the bright sun, his mood suddenly felt open.

It has only been a year since he came out of Gaoliu, and he is already catching up with Lao Han?

……

During the five days of leave, Li Yuan did not go to the Weapon Casting Valley.

Every day, he either went fishing in the cold pond or read books in the library. Sometimes he would go to the bamboo forest to roast a half-spiritual sheep, and go to the Zhaixing Tower to buy a few pounds of monkey wine. His life was quite comfortable.

"Before the Qi and blood reached the great perfection of Yixing, there were three limit-breaking times. The degree of limit-breaking was related to one's own root bones. After the internal strength was perfected, the increase in physical strength should be very subtle..."

In the bamboo forest, the spiritual sheep was roasting and sizzling. Li Yuan lay on the rocking chair, controlling the five-step snake skin belt, sensing the changes in his own strength.

After the internal strength was perfected, the strength was interwoven into a network between the internal organs, which would further stimulate the internal organs and increase physical strength.

But according to the records in the book, this growth was not fast and the duration was short, but Li Yuan had lasted for five days, and it seemed that it was not the end yet.

"I guess it is related to the root bones?"

Li Yuan did not investigate it in detail. It was a good thing for him anyway.

After the spiritual sheep was roasted, he put out the fire, and enjoyed the rare leisure time with the monkey wine, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat.

After the news of the Sanyuanwu army's departure came, the inside and outside of the Shenbing Valley were very tense and busy. Every day off was rare, and he cherished it very much.

However, before he finished eating the spiritual sheep, Li Yuan had already felt that his leisure time would end early.

"You are leisurely."

Jing Shuhu's voice came from outside the bamboo forest.

"Disciple still has half a day off!"

Li Yuan sat up with a start, smiled and pulled off a leg of lamb and handed it to Jing Shuhu, who took it with a stern face:

"Where's the wine?"

When he heard the voice, Li Yuan had already put away the monkey wine, and could only burp at this time: "Just finished drinking, if you want, I will go get it now?"

"No, I have it too."

Jing Shuhu took out a red gourd from his sleeve and drank a few sips of the lamb leg, without any intention of sharing.

"Grand Elder, you came to see me, but do you have something to tell me?"

Li Yuan was not interested in his wine and asked him why he came.

"Well, it's not a big deal." Jing Shuhu wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to go fishing, but I'm still short of bait. I need your help."
