Chapter 161: Ancient

The night was like fog, covering the entire Yongning County.

There was complete silence all around, with only the night watchman's voice gradually spreading through the streets and alleys.

A gentle breeze blew as Jiang Shu sat with his eyes closed. In his mind, he recalled the forbidden techniques he had seen in the Chamber of Commerce's treasury.

I have to say that the Danxia Chamber of Commerce is indeed a major force in the state.

Every move he made showed his magnanimity.

I don’t know how many forbidden techniques that blood exchange realm warriors dreamed of, but he obtained them so easily.

Forbidden techniques are divided into ancient forbidden techniques and improved forbidden techniques. Ancient forbidden techniques come from ancient times, when warriors' skills and martial arts were not perfect. The blood exchange realm was the limit of a warrior's body. In addition, weapons are extremely difficult to forge, so it is extremely difficult to defeat a beast of the same realm but of a different species.

An ancient forbidden technique, which refines the essence and blood of fierce beasts of different species, imitates their strength, and controls their spirit. Once successfully practiced, the warrior's body will be as strong as that of fierce beasts of different species, and the strength, defense, and speed will increase by many times. However, the practice of ancient forbidden techniques is extremely dangerous. If the warrior's mental strength is insufficient, it is often easy to be backfired by the essence and blood of fierce beasts of different species. At the very least, the blood and qi will decline, and the spirit will be damaged, and it will be difficult to climb to the peak of martial arts again.

In serious cases, one will be directly affected by the god of the alien beast and lose his sanity. That's why it's called forbidden technique. Later, martial arts masters improved the ancient forbidden technique generation after generation. All they need to do is burn their blood essence to increase their combat power.

Jiang Shu muttered to himself. What he had obtained now was naturally the improved forbidden technique.

When you first enter the realm, burning your blood essence can increase your combat power by 50%. For warriors of the same realm, an increase of 50% in combat power can decide everything. Moreover, when the improved forbidden technique is practiced to perfection, the combat power will be increased by two times.

A warrior at the Blood Exchange Realm who possesses a perfect level of forbidden technique can easily kill three warriors at the same level!

This is the power of forbidden techniques.

Zhao Chengxuan was just a beginner. If he had really achieved some success in his practice, if he wanted to defeat him so easily in the ring, relying solely on his fists would not be enough.

The improved forbidden technique is more suitable for warriors than the Blood Rage Pill, it can increase combat power more, and it does not have such strong side effects. But compared with the ancient forbidden technique, I don't know how much difference it is. No matter how powerful the improved forbidden technique is, it can only increase combat power by twice. Facing a different kind of fierce beast of the same level, if you don't have extremely strong mid-grade martial arts and weapons, you will basically have no way out.

Ancient forbidden techniques are different. Any ancient forbidden technique, once cultivated to perfection, can be used directly with the physical body to fight against fierce beasts of the same realm and other species.

However, as the times progressed, alchemy, weapon refining, and martial arts gradually matured, and the ancient forbidden techniques were slowly phased out. Only the imperial court and some powerful and aristocratic families that had inherited the tradition for hundreds of years had treasured them.

In the Dajing Dynasty, martial arts flourished, and there were powerful people in the realm of transcendence in every state.

No matter how powerful a sixth-order alien beast is, it will be surrounded and killed by several strong men in the rebirth realm. In the Dajing Dynasty, alien beasts are not a threat, but a material for refining weapons and pills.

There is no external threat, and the practice of ancient forbidden techniques requires extremely strong mental strength.

Martial arts refine the body, energy, and spirit.

Only when you reach the rebirth stage can you truly cultivate your spiritual power. For warriors below the rebirth stage, only one out of ten will succeed in practicing ancient forbidden techniques.

The extremely low success rate, and the development of martial arts, elixirs, and weapons.

Naturally, there are fewer and fewer warriors practicing ancient forbidden techniques.

After the battle with the Zhang family, the greatest gain for Jiang Shu was not his fame in the county city, nor was it the improvement of forbidden techniques he obtained in the Danxia Chamber of Commerce, but rather, he learned about the existence of ancient forbidden techniques.

After entering the Dan Jin stage, his essence, energy and spirit were condensed into one. He was absolutely sure to top the Little Dragon and Tiger List.

But if he advances to the Tongqiao realm, the advantage brought by Dan Jin will gradually decrease. At this time, if he masters the ancient forbidden technique, he will definitely be able to make it to the Dajing Dragon and Tiger List, and it is even possible to continue to reach the top.

After all, compared to the warriors of the Dajing Dynasty, with the martial arts training in two worlds and the memories of two lives, his mental power is already much higher than that of warriors of the same level.

Ancient forbidden techniques are dangerous to the warriors of the Dajing Dynasty.

A forbidden technique that is extremely dangerous to practice.

But for him, that may not be the case.

Moreover, on Xuanxing, there are endless secret realms of all sizes. If one masters the ancient forbidden techniques, perhaps he can directly kill his way through a secret realm of heaven and earth.

I don't know how Mom and Dad and Tuanzi are doing.

He couldn't help but think of home. Unlike before, this time, he was destined to stay in the Dajing Dynasty for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu continued to practice.

The Four Symbols' true energy tempers every part of the bone marrow.

The practice of improved forbidden techniques is one step closer to entry.

On that day, he avoided fighting during the encirclement and suppression by the troops, and shuttled between the two worlds.

The next time he goes back, he must possess the power that will terrify all Fuso warriors and even the Fuso Army.

The bright moon sets in the west and the sun rises in the east.

Jiang Shu practiced diligently in the yard day after day. When he first came into contact with martial arts, he could endure the loneliness, let alone now that he has practiced martial arts for many years.

Even though he was now famous in the county, he rejected every invitation that was delivered to the gate of his courtyard.

Wine, sex, money and power could not shake his determination to become a martial artist.

Three days later.

Introduction to improved forbidden techniques.

The tenth day.

The middle stage of blood exchange state.

Another five days.

I have achieved minor success in The Secret of the Great Dream Sleeping Pill.

Master Jiang, the person you want us to keep an eye on seems to be arriving in South City.

Manager Zhang was knocking at the gate and whispered. Although Danxia Chamber of Commerce was busy, for him, being able to get close to Jiang Shu was the most important thing.

By now, he also knew that Shang Junming was just Jiang Shu's alias.

Soon, Jiang Shu will go to the provincial capital, and after joining the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, he will begin to try to sprint for the Little Dragon and Tiger List.

And because he had a very good relationship with Jiang Shu, he was praised a lot by the headquarters. Although his position was not promoted, his contribution value increased a lot, and bottles of strong pills were rewarded to him.

Breaking through to the Zang training realm is just a piece of cake.

Thank you, Master Zhang.

After a while, the gate opened.

Jiang Shu, dressed very simply, took a step forward.

After he mastered the Great Dream Sleeping Pill Technique, he became more introverted and looked just like an ordinary person. But his every move seemed to be integrated with the world, and it was extremely natural.

In the middle stage of the blood exchange state, the bone marrow of the limbs has been tempered.

Now he is confident that he can reach the end of the Little Dragon and Tiger List.

It's time to leave the county town and head to the state capital.

It just so happened that before leaving, I met with Mr. Qiu and Qi Yuan.

When he came into this world, there were actually not many people he knew well or interacted with.

In the county town, Qiu Lao, as a secret guard, opened a martial arts school and accepted disciples, but it was just to cover up his tracks and he didn't care about the life and death of his disciples. Therefore, when he and Qi Yuan were dragged into the trap set by County Master Qiu, Qiu Lao didn't really help them.

But later, he showed enough talent, and Qiu Lao really did his best for him. He taught him almost all the martial arts, and even wrote a letter so that he could learn the Zhao family's middle-grade skills. Although the outcome of this matter was beyond their expectations.

It's pleasing, but it's good.

Qi Yuan had always helped him when he was weak. When there was no exotic animal meat, he took the initiative to give him a part of himself. This kind of friendship was worth remembering.

Mr. Jiang, that's too polite. Do you need me to follow you?

83 Chinese website latest address

No need. Thank you for your hard work these days, Mr. Zhang.

Taking out a bottle of Chao Yuan Dan from his bosom, Jiang Shu handed it over and said, I will go to the state capital in a few days. This bottle of Chao Yuan Dan can be regarded as a small gift from me.

Nei Zhuang Dan, strengthens internal organs.

There is no shortage of people like Zhang.

But after entering the Zang-training stage, if you want to break through to the Blood-exchanging stage, you need to use the Five Qis to the Origin and the Chao Yuan Pill ()

, is one of the essential elixirs.

It can be considered a blessing from him.

Without waiting for Director Zhang to thank him, Jiang Shu took a step towards the south city. Each of his steps seemed extremely slow, but after one step, he was already seven or eight steps away.

The face seemed to be covered by a layer of mist and could not be seen clearly.

The whole person was like a breeze, passing through the crowd in the county town without disturbing anyone.

South city.

Master, the city of Yongning County is too big.

Qi Yuan said in a very low voice. Just as he looked at the Yongning County City from afar, he was attracted by the wide river outside with undulating waves. One after another, huge ships were launched from the dock and headed for other county cities, and even the state capital.

The endless scene deeply shocked him who had just come out of the mountains.

Pingling County, after all, is an extremely remote county. The connection with the county town is too low. In the entire county, it may not be possible for a martial artist of the Lianzang realm to come for several years.

But Yongning County is different.

Yongning County has convenient transportation and is a large county with developed commerce in Yunzhou. There are many warriors coming and going. Those at the Refining Organs Realm are everywhere; those at the Blood Exchange Realm can be seen from time to time. Even those at the Opening Acupoints Realm can be seen by ordinary warriors on some important occasions.

Here, his martial arts path will be smoother.

Yeah. Good to know.

Qiu Hai, who was already in the county town, took a deep breath. He never thought that one day, he would be able to return here openly.

A bottle of Dahuan Dan has almost healed his injuries.

If I could make some more contributions in the Sky Patrol and accumulate enough merit points, I might be able to be promoted to a higher level!

When a warrior practices martial arts, who wouldn’t want to prolong his life?

Master Qiu, Brother Qi, this way.

When Qiu Hai and Qi Yuan were both sighing about themselves, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears like a thread. When they came to their senses and raised their heads, Jiang Shu was already standing in front of them. He spoke in a very gentle voice: This is not a place to talk. I have a courtyard in East City. Master Qiu, Brother Qi, please follow me.

Just a quarter of an hour.

The three of them walked through the South City and came to the courtyard of the East City.

Jiang Shu poured a cup of tea made from Tianqing tea leaves for Qiu Lao and Qi Yuan, and said to Qi Yuan: In the county city, there are ten major clans, one official and one merchant. On the official side, there is a master, which is enough to solve many problems. On the merchant side, you can go to Danxia Chamber of Commerce. If you want to buy resources, you can tell me if you don't have enough money for the time being.

As for the big family, I don't have any good relationship with them, but you can go to the Zhang family. I think I have a good relationship with them.

Jiang Shu sat down and took a sip of the Tianqing tea.

Although Master Qiu Hai returned to the Sky Patrol and was also a centurion, he had to be an official. He would definitely be running around for missions, and it would be difficult for him to take care of Qi Yuan.

What I said also made Qi Yuan feel more confident. I hope that the next time they meet, I can see a different Senior Brother Qi.

River......

Qi Yuan raised his head, but did not rush to drink the tea. He looked at Jiang Shu, and felt that at this moment, the Jiang Junior Brother he was familiar with in the past was so unfamiliar.

He didn't even dare to say the three words Junior Brother Jiang.

Although until now, he still doesn't know what level Jiang Shu is at.

But judging from his every move, he is probably better than Qiu Lao in martial arts.

Brother Qi, just order whatever you want. Master Qiu, here are two bottles of Da Huan Dan, five bottles of Chao Yuan Dan, and three bottles of Xi Sui Dan. If there are still not enough, you can also go to Danxia Chamber of Commerce to buy them. Just tell me my name.

With a wave of his hand, a wooden box appeared from his sleeve, with ten jade bottles lying quietly inside.

Looking at this martial artist in the Lian Zang realm, Jiang Shu casually displayed the elixir that was extremely difficult to obtain.

Qiu Hai was completely certain that Jiang Shu had definitely reached the blood transfusion stage.

()

Calculating the age, this disciple of mine seems to be only about twenty years old.

This kind of martial arts talent...

Not to mention the small Pingling County.

Even Yongning County, or even the entire Yunzhou, might not be able to trap him.

Jiang Shu... these are too valuable...

Gritting his teeth, Qiu Hai said, Besides, you are in the period of cultivation now, Da Huan Dan and Xi Sui Dan will also be helpful to you. I will just take two bottles of Chao Yuan Dan.

When he arrived at the county town and saw Jiang Shu in such a state, he felt even more guilty for only writing a letter. Although the secret guards could not leave the county town without permission, Pingling County was remote and nothing major would happen. As long as he went and came back quickly, he could follow Jiang Shu to the county town.

Let him successfully obtain the middle-grade skills.

In this way, Jiang Shu's journey of practicing martial arts in the county city will definitely be smoother.

Master Qiu, what are you talking about? I don't lack these medicinal resources.

Jiang Shu smiled.

These pills were only of medium quality. For him, as long as he had enough materials, he could refine them. It was far less valuable than the sentence below, Go to the Chamber of Commerce and report his name.

Of course, Qiu Hai and Qi Yuan had just arrived in the county town, so they naturally didn’t know how famous he was here.

Then... I'll take it.

Seeing Jiang Shu's determination, Qiu Hai sighed and said, The Marrow Cleansing Pill is too precious. I will go to the Danxia Chamber of Commerce to exchange it for some Internal Strengthening Pills, which Qi Yuan can also use. It was my fault for sending the letter. I didn't think it through and caused you to suffer.

When my realm stabilizes, I will go to the Zhao family and personally find Zhao Yuanchang to seek justice.

Qiu Hai said in a stern voice.

To this day, he no longer dared to be arrogant in front of his disciples. But according to him, although his disciples had reached the blood exchange realm, Yongning County was so big. The foundation of the ten major clans was so deep.

Although Zhao Yuanchang is only at the Lianzang realm, as a direct descendant of the Zhao family, one of the ten major clans, he has a very high status.

As a disciple, I could only swallow my loss at that time.

After all, there is more than one person in the Zhao family who is at the blood exchange realm!

Although I only practiced internal martial arts, I was familiar with Zhao Yuanchang. He was the one who started this matter, so there was no problem in going to him to ask for an explanation.

At the moment when he finished speaking.

Outside the door, Zhang pushed the door open gently, stood aside, and said:

Master Jiang, I am Zhao Yuanchang from the Zhao family. I come here to apologize for my crime. I hope Master Jiang will forgive my reckless words and actions that day.

Chapter 162: Above the Sixth Realm of Martial Arts!

Zhao Yuanchang stood outside the door.

A whip lay on his outstretched hands.

He could clearly feel that there were eyes on him from the people around him.

Many warriors even recognized his identity.

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, and the only thing in his mind was the day when Jiang Shu came to see him.

If Jiang Shu was just an ordinary Blood Exchange Realm, even if he was a peak Blood Exchange Realm expert, he would not be like this. After all, the Zhao family has a deep foundation. Not only did they have a Master of the Acupoints Realm in the past, but the current direct descendant genius Zhao Zhongming has even made it onto the Little Dragon and Tiger List, and is only one step away from the Acupoints Realm.

As a direct descendant of the Zhao family, even if he is at the Organ Training Realm, he can still speak freely in front of those at the Blood Exchange Realm.

However, after the battle with the Zhang family, Jiang Shu's talent in martial arts became known to everyone.

A genius who is bound to be on the Little Dragon and Tiger List, and whose lowest realm in the future will be the Tongqiao realm.

Even the Zhao family is unwilling to make enemies with them.

Zhao Chengxuan is a genius and is expected to be on the list of young dragons and tigers in the future. A fight can also be called a factional dispute, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

But he was different. When Jiang Shu came with the letter of introduction, not only did he not meet him, he also arranged for a gold medal priest to send him away.

For ordinary warriors, the gold medal offering is a blessing.

But for a genius like Jiang Shu, offering a gold medal is actually a humiliation!

No one knows this kind of news now.

Once it really gets out, all the warriors in the county will laugh at the Zhao family for being blind.

Even if he is a direct descendant, he still has to go to the Punishment Hall to accept clan punishment!

not see.

Jiang Shu waved his hand.

After the war, Zhao Yuanchang actually sent out several invitations, set up an extremely luxurious banquet, and prepared generous gifts.

But without exception, they were all ignored by myself.

This time he came in person, probably because he had arranged spies outside his yard.

After knowing that Mr. Qiu had returned to the county town, it became extremely difficult to conceal this matter any longer.

I want to get your forgiveness in advance before the matter is made public.

The idea is good, but why should I forgive?

Manager Zhang did not deliberately conceal the truth from Qiu Hai and Qi Yuan.

Qiu Hai looked back at the closed courtyard door, then looked at Jiang Shu. His pupils trembled violently, and he felt as if a huge storm was whistling through his mind.

It can make the direct descendants of the Zhao family take the blame.

This disciple of mine should have made much more than just a breakthrough to the blood exchange stage!

...

One month later.

The setting sun shines on the water under the leaves, rolling up light waves, sinking for thousands of miles.

On the deck, Jiang Shu stood facing the wind.

The blood flowed extremely quietly. At his current level, he could completely control the flow of his own blood. The Dan Jin stimulated the hidden points in his body all the time, bringing great improvement every day.

After leaving Yongning County, he did not rush to the provincial capital.

Instead, he kept staying in the county town, looking up the secrets collected by the Chamber of Commerce, and getting to know the world he was in better.

According to the map, this should be the county town closest to the state capital, Tianqing County. Compared with other large counties, Tianqing County, which is close to Yunzhou State Capital, covers a very large area, which is three times the size of Yongning County. There are branches of three chambers of commerce, and basically every month, an auction is held, and the martial arts resources are extremely rich.

Especially the Yanding Chamber of Commerce, which once auctioned off fake treasures!

Jiang Shu murmured, his eyes looking into the distance, and a huge county city gradually appeared in his sight.

After a month of training, he had completely consolidated his position in the middle stage of the Blood Exchange Realm. His true energy began to temper his ribs. Ordinary geniuses on the Little Dragon and Tiger List were no longer his opponents.

The Four Symbols True Energy has reached perfection through continuous practice day after day. Perhaps due to the drifting on the water, the Black Tortoise True Energy is approaching perfection.

"Brother Jiang, your level of refining medicine is really ()

The effect of this marrow cleansing pill is much higher than the one I bought at the County City Chamber of Commerce. It’s a pity that you are only a middle-grade alchemist. If you were a high-grade one, you would be treated as a guest of honor by any family when you come to Dazhou City now."

The huge ship gradually approached the shore.

Jiang Shu circulated the true energy in his hands, and a huge package under his feet, like a feather, stuck tightly to his palm.

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Brother Chu, you are too kind. How can it be so easy to become a top-grade alchemist? If you are not at the level of Tongqiao, and do not have a good understanding of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, even if you have the most advanced alchemy skills, the pills will be destroyed and the furnace will explode.

Jiang Shu smiled and didn't turn around in a hurry. He naturally knew who the visitor was.

Chu Xisheng, a genius from Yunzhou, had already reached the late stage of blood exchange before he was 20 years old. His entire body was like a dragon or an elephant, and his blood was like mercury. The weapon he held was a long spear, and the entire body of the spear was made of purple gold soft steel. While ensuring hardness, it also had flexibility.

The tip of the spear was made of extremely rare red flame gold, which could only be found in volcanoes where fifth-level alien beasts lived. The hardness of this metal was beyond Jiang Shu's cognition, and even the alloy steel knife in his hand was far inferior to it.

Moreover, according to Chu Xisheng himself, using Red Flame Gold to make a spear tip is a huge waste. In the hands of a true weapon refiner, Red Flame Gold can even be used as a material for a treasure weapon.

A treasure weapon contains treasure patterns, and any treasure weapon can also serve as a family treasure of a noble family!

Even though items like storage bags are engraved with storage treasure patterns, they cannot be used for killing and are not worthy of being considered as clan treasures.

The treasure of the clan, the treasure pattern itself can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. When a warrior activates the treasure pattern, his peak attack can directly kill a warrior in the Tongqiao realm!

A martial artist at the Tongqiao realm holding a treasure can be comparable to a martial artist at the Tuotai realm in a short period of time!

Sure enough, only by coming out can you realize how big the world is.

With your strength, how long will it take to reach the Tongqiao realm?

Chu Xisheng shook his head and walked over. Unlike Jiang Shu, he did not have any packages on him, but a small storage bag on his waist. He was born in the state capital, and he had seen countless geniuses.

But there are very few geniuses as strange as Jiang Shu.

Although his realm was not yet at the late stage of blood exchange, his entire body seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth. Although they had not really fought each other, he had an inexplicable intuition that even if he really fought with him, he might not be able to get any good results.

From the looks of Brother Jiang, are you planning to stop by Tianqing County? In fact, although Tianqing County is good, it cannot compare to the state capital in terms of martial arts resources or the number of martial arts talents. With Brother Jiang's strength, he can go directly to the state capital. If there is no place to stop, as a direct descendant of the Chu family, I welcome a genius like Brother Jiang to come.

Chu Xisheng beckoned.

It is impossible for a huge ship to be absolutely safe when sailing for a long time.

On the night of the tenth day before, a fourth-level peak alien beast emerged from the water. He and Jiang Shu fought it off together, and since then, the two of them have occasionally communicated and gradually became familiar with each other.

Brother Chu, you are too polite. I will certainly come to your house to bother you if I have the chance.

Jiang Shu smiled, bowed and said goodbye to Chu Xisheng, then slowly got off the boat.

Of course, he had to go to the state capital, but not now. During this month, he had learned more and more about this world. He was no longer like before, just confined to the bottom of a well, watching the sky.

The Dajing Dynasty is not the dominant force in this world.

It was just a middle-class dynasty. There were hundreds of dynasties like this in this vast area.

The fundamental reason why the dynasty has lasted for thousands of years is not because the emperor is so wise.

But above the dynasty, there are higher-level existences.

Sect!

The sect rules over everything.

Over the past thousands of years, there have been uprisings by warriors. But the uprisings were always small-scale. Once the country was stabilized, the martial arts immortals of the sect would come down from the mountains to take action.

Changing the constellations and moving the stars, ()

Burning mountains and boiling seas.

Even the most powerful rebel army would be wiped out by true magical power.

Martial arts, refining the body, refining energy, and refining the spirit.

In fact, it is just a process of laying the foundation.

Martial arts geniuses compete for the Little Dragon and Tiger List, the Dragon and Tiger List, not for fame and fortune.

Instead, only by climbing up step by step can one become a true genius of the dynasty, enter the realm of rebirth, and be qualified to shine in the war of a hundred dynasties.

Hundred Dynasties War.

Every ten years.

The sect will send elders here, and only true geniuses will have the opportunity to enter and become a being above the rebirth realm.

There are some files and secrets recording that realm.

Furnace Fire Realm.

The furnace of heaven
