Chapter 126 Take action
The trip was a success.
Yu Xiao decided to run away.
In fact, the ghost market is usually open for seven consecutive days. At this moment, not even one night has passed, and the flow of people will continue to increase in the next few days.
In other words, if you remain patient and wait a little, there is hope that you will find high-quality elixirs or other useful goodies.
however.
Yu Xiao decided to quit while he was ahead.
Although the ghost market has Wanbaofang to maintain order, it is not a formal market after all. There are too many resources to be exchanged this time. If you stay too long, the news may leak out and attract covetous people.
With today's strength.
I am not afraid of ordinary cultivators at all.
Even if you encounter a foundation-building cultivator, you can easily escape unscathed, but it is better to have less trouble than more, so there is no need to cause trouble for yourself.
After a slight disguise, he decisively left the Ghost Market. In order to avoid being followed and ambushed, after leaving the Ghost Market, he entered the Stone Palace space and hid from the spotlight for a day.
This process is through double penetration doors.
You can observe the situation nearby at any time.
Of course, he was not idle. He used his free time to refine the materials he had just obtained.
after one day.
Nine Blood Yang Pills were obtained.
"I didn't expect that the alchemy would go so smoothly this time. This is a high-level elixir!"
Yu Xiao was obviously surprised.
This is not only because of the recent improvements in alchemy, but also because of the new tool, the red-patterned golden tripod.
Its properties are particularly suitable for refining extremely yang and strong elixirs, and the success rate of refining the Blood Yang Pill will be improved as a result.
Alchemy requires more than just technique.
Have a good set of alchemy tools.
It can also make the alchemy process smoother and smoother.
Each alchemy furnace has its own properties. For example, the red-patterned golden cauldron has an amplifying effect on the refining of Blood Yang Pills, but it will produce side effects when refining some yin and cold materials.
A mature alchemist will prepare a set of furnaces and use different tools for different materials to increase the success rate and quality.
The elixir is ready.
A day passed in the outside world as well.
No hazards were observed.
Yu Xiao used the disguise technique to change his appearance again, transforming himself into the image of Yu Qingyun. He used the Qi-concealing pill and the breath-concealing technique, changed his clothes, and then returned to the main world.
Good luck.
Or maybe it's a relationship that's cautious enough.
We didn't encounter any attacks along the way.
After returning to Xiaozhu Valley.
Start to impact the realm directly.
It took four months and four Blood Yang Pills to refine the blood and energy in his body to the extreme. Finally, he achieved the breakthrough as he wished.
When the blood breaks through.
Every bone, every inch of flesh and blood, and every cell was emitting blood and energy, and the hot breath that erupted was nearly twice as strong.
The strength of blood.
Within twenty meters.
If there are any ghosts or dead souls, their souls will be burned to pieces immediately, and ordinary demons and monsters will not be able to get close to them, otherwise they will be seriously injured.
Just by breath!
It has such power!
Yu Xiao felt the changes that had taken place in his body after his blood and qi broke through, and he now had the ability to generate internal qi.
Whether you can generate internal energy.
This is the biggest difference between the External Martial Saint and the Internal Martial Saint.
The difference between internal and external power is somewhat similar to the difference between dark power and obvious power in traditional martial arts. Of course, they are only partially similar and not exactly the same.
simply speaking.
Nei Gang warriors are able to gather energy within themselves.
This process can not only reduce losses during attack, but also protect the body from the inside out to gain stronger offensive and defensive capabilities.
The external energy warriors consume a lot of energy when condensing their energy to fight, and their blood and energy may be mostly used up in thirty to fifty rounds.
Neigang warriors condense their qi to fight, and because the qi exists in their bodies, they can remain strong even after fighting for three or two hundred rounds.
This breakthrough went more smoothly than expected!
Even for a martial arts genius who is one in a million in the Yun Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, it would take at least ten years of hard training to break through from outer power to inner power.
Although Yu Xiao had achieved the outer Gang several years ago, he only started to practice formally recently, which is less than a year in total.
It is undeniable.
The credit of the Blood Yang Pill is indispensable.
But even if he consumed six Blood Yang Pills one after another.
It is quite amazing that he has mastered the inner power from the outer power in less than a year!
Obviously.
Yu Xiao has taken hundreds of Blood Marrow Pills.
With the addition of several Blood Yang Pills, he knew that his physical condition had greatly improved.
In the past, his martial arts aptitude was mediocre. It would take him several months just to cultivate his blood and energy. Even if he cultivated for three hundred years, he might not be able to cultivate the power.
At this moment, even if he is not as good as the super martial arts genius selected from millions of people, he is probably not much different and is not inferior to Yu Daniu.
The changes are huge.
One can imagine!
This is martial arts!
The biggest difference between practicing martial arts and practicing immortality is...
If one wants to reach a very high level in martial arts, one has to rely more on various resources. As the saying goes, "the poor are good at literature but the rich are good at martial arts."
As long as martial arts practitioners put in effort, invest resources and costs, they will definitely get rewards.
But cultivating immortals is not certain.
Whether a cultivator can achieve something, simply piling up resources is not enough. Cultivating immortals requires higher innate qualifications, and also requires sufficient time and luck, and even mysterious state of mind perception.
Except for the above factor.
The reason why the breakthrough was so smooth.
It's because his body is always in peak condition. His real age is over 40, but his body always remains in his early twenties.
There are many martial arts geniuses who are one in a million. Once their physical condition has passed the peak, their training speed will inevitably decline significantly and will never be as good as before.
Therefore, once you miss the best age for cultivation, it will be difficult to make up for it even if you put in several times the effort.
This situation will never happen to Yu Xiao!
When you feel the blood and energy filling your body.
Looking at the remaining Blood Yang Pills.
"I'll need it sooner or later anyway, so I might as well use it all up in one go!"
Yu Xiao felt that he was in good condition at the moment, so he didn't rush back to Dajing to do things.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It is not a bad thing to improve your strength and make more preparations.
A blink of an eye.
Another five months.
The remaining six Blood Yang Pills were used up.
Although he did not achieve another breakthrough, he successfully reached the peak of inner power, and such an achievement was already very remarkable.
The state of transformation.
Only one step left.
This step is difficult.
Otherwise, with Yu Xiao's cautiousness, as long as there was a chance of a breakthrough within one or two years, he wouldn't mind practicing in seclusion in Xiaozhu Valley for another year or two.
however.
The Blood Yang Pills have been used up.
Only through hard work and practice.
Not to mention one or two years, even ten or twenty years may not be enough to break through this bottleneck.
Blood and Qi breakthrough.
It gets harder as time goes on.
Yu Xiao estimated that if he wanted to complete this breakthrough in a relatively short period of time, he would need to prepare at least eight or ten Blood Yang Pills.
The materials are hard to find!
The eight auxiliary herbs are not so difficult to deal with.
Yu Xiao has been collecting materials through Luo Xiaoshan's channels, and has accumulated more than a dozen auxiliary materials.
The key is that Blood Essence Crystal and Red Sun Turtle Inner Pill are difficult to obtain. Although the latter can be exchanged from the sect, it requires a lot of merit.
As for the ghost market?
This ghost market is a rare opportunity.
I don’t know where I will appear next time.
Whatever!
Nothing is perfect!
Now you are fully prepared!
Calculating the time, exactly seven days have passed since Yaoxuan came to Yangcheng and Emperor Qian's actions were exposed.
Can't wait.
The situation is extremely urgent.
As Emperor Qian launched bloody massacres in various places, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were likely to be slaughtered every day.
Even if we put aside noble motives such as saving the world and the people, the possibility of Emperor Qian breaking through his cultivation will increase with every additional day.
It is impossible to break the transformation barrier in a short time.
Then it won’t break for the time being.
After this important matter is accomplished, it will not be too late to slowly prepare for the impact of Hua Gang. When it comes to cultivation, haste makes waste.
The day.
Yu Xiao left Xiaozhu Valley.
First, he went back to the sect.
He came to a place called "Huangyan Valley" in Qinglan Valley. This place was the headquarters of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, one of the nine pavilions of the sect. There were weapon refining workshops everywhere, and most of the sect's weapon refiners were concentrated here.
"Junior brother, your Green Sword and Red Blood Shield have been refined. The refining process went very smoothly." A disciple from the Weapon Refining Pavilion with a full beard handed the two magic weapons to Yu Xiao.
This person's name is Fei Huai.
A senior weapon refiner from Qinglan Valley.
The preparations Yu Xiao made were not only a breakthrough in his martial arts skills, but he also had to work hard on equipment, spells, talismans, and elixirs.
To ensure nothing goes wrong!
In terms of magical instruments, Yu Xiao not only completed the sacrifice and refining of the "Black Bone Nail" and the "Yin Wood Mask".
In addition, he took out the Nine-Turn Iron Essence and Secret Blood Crystal in his hands and strengthened the "Green Sword" and "Red Blood Shield".
Both are first-grade, mid-quality magical instruments.
The Red Blood Shield is made of high-quality materials such as secret blood crystals and ten thousand year fire copper, so it has been a mid-grade magical weapon since its birth.
The Qingmang Sword can become a mid-grade magical weapon because it has been continuously refined over the years.
This sword was originally passed down in the family of Jiang Hao, a casual cultivator for three generations, and had been refined for several decades.
The Jiang family's generations have limited cultivation.
Although their rituals did not improve the quality of the Qingmang Sword, they did lay a certain foundation.
When the Qingmang Sword fell into Yu Xiao's hands, it was not surprising that its quality broke through and became a mid-grade magic weapon after Yu Xiao's daily worship and care for it for more than ten years.
The higher the cultivation level.
The more powerful the magic power.
The better the effect of nourishing and improving the magic weapon during the ritual and refining.
Theoretically speaking, if an ordinary sword follows a great immortal cultivator, its quality will change over time, and its spirituality will be awakened to become a powerful magical weapon.
There are many ways to improve the quality of magical weapons. The most direct and efficient way is undoubtedly to find suitable breakthrough materials, and then find a skilled refiner to directly strengthen them.
There are no high-level weapon refiners in Yunxi Town.
Yu Xiao could only come to the sect's weapon refining pavilion to ask his senior brother for help.
Although Nine-Turn Iron Essence and Secret Blood Crystal are precious materials.
But Yu Xiao is an intermediate alchemist and his income is not low and is a reasonable consumption level.
After the Green Sword and Red Blood Shield both become top-grade magical weapons, their power can be increased by at least 30% to 40%.
In the past year or so, not only has his martial arts skills made a breakthrough.
He also took time to practice the two key combat spells, "shield formation" and "giant sword".
Today, Yu Xiao has already mastered the art of shield formation, and has even mastered the art of giant sword. When combined with a top-grade magic weapon, the power he can unleash is almost twice as much as before.
Consumables such as pills and talismans.
We have also made some preparations!
Everything is ready. At least under the current conditions, I have done the best preparations and can finally go back and put it to rest.
When we returned to Xiaozhu Valley.
There was no time to announce the closure.
A familiar figure suddenly came to visit.
This person looks like a teenage girl, with a ponytail and wearing a green dress. She is cute and full of energy.
The little girl was accompanied by an old man with a goatee, who was Huang Zeyou, the steward of Qingyang Danfang.
"Senior Sister Thirteen? Why are you here?"
Yu Xiao was a little surprised to see Chen Xiaoyu coming, even though this girl is not even eighteen years old.
But he had been Jiang Changqing's true disciple five years ago.
He is the youngest true disciple of Jiuyang Mountain.
"I just happened to be on my way out to do some errands, and I passed by your little Bamboo Valley, so I came in to take a look. Why don't you welcome me?"
"How dare I? Senior Sister Thirteen has come to visit us. This small place of mine is naturally honored."
Yu Xiao has been Jiang Changqing's nominal disciple for more than three years. Because he often returns to Jiuyang Mountain to attend classes, he has dealt with this Thirteenth Senior Sister several times.
At first, Senior Sister Thirteen was upset about Yu Xiao’s rejection, and Yu Xiao didn’t want to fall out with the true disciple.
So when I learned that Senior Sister Thirteen was interested in strange stories and new toys, I gave her some gifts to please her, and this move successfully won the favor of this senior sister.
"Please come in and have a chat."
"No, I have something to do. Let's make it short." Chen Xiaoyu got straight to the point: "I heard from Deacon Huang that Junior Brother has made a breakthrough in alchemy recently and is trying to refine high-level elixirs. Is this true?"
"Indeed!"
Yu Xiao has long been a high-level alchemist.
Although Yu Xiao tried his best to hide his strength, there was no need to hide his attainments in alchemy so deeply.
Therefore, I took the initiative to reveal some information.
This move can attract more attention from the sect, thereby unlocking more permissions to facilitate the acquisition of resources in the future.
In addition, the identity of an alchemist is also an excellent protective color. No one would associate an alchemist who specializes in alchemy with a body cultivator with explosive combat power.
"I also heard that you have been in seclusion several times recently and almost broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining?"
"This is also true!"
"Not bad!"
Chen Xiaoyu said, "There will be an alchemy competition in Jiuyang Mountain in a few months. The winner will not only receive rich prizes, but also have the opportunity to learn from Master. Are you interested?"
"Is there such a thing?!"
Yu Xiao was still quite moved when he heard this.
Although he has been Jiang Changqing's apprentice for more than three years, he has never had a private exchange with his master except in public classes.
Prizes don't matter.
If I could apprentice with Jiang Changqing.
Having the opportunity to receive guidance from a true foundation-building cultivator would surely be of great benefit to both alchemy and cultivation.
"You are capable enough to participate in this competition. If you are interested, I will help you sign up!"
"Thank you, Thirteenth Sister!"
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. If you have any new illustrated novels, please remember to send them to me in time."
"Yes!"
After Chen Xiaoyu left.
Yu Xiao fell into deep thought.
Now the time has come to "break through the fifth level".
He then announced another retreat and prepared to achieve a breakthrough after this retreat.
A high-level alchemist at the fifth level of Qi training, although not the best in the entire sect, is good enough to have a good status.
And after Yu Xiao announced the end of his retreat.
He immediately entered the grand view through the double doors.
……
at this time.
Grand view world.
Qinglong Lane in Guangzhou.
Yaoxuan just felt that she was in the best condition ever.
After some inquiries, she found out that it was Alliance Leader Yu's magic medicine that saved her.
Just one pill can cure congenital defects and restore the body to normal. This medicine is definitely not an ordinary one!
I owe him a big favor!
Yaoxuan had never felt so relaxed. It was worth celebrating that she had recovered from her illness of many years.
but.
She couldn't be happy.
The news from all sides in recent days has been shocking.
Since Yao Xuan learned about the Qianhuang Plan, more than a dozen massacres, large and small, have occurred. Each human tragedy is infuriating.
These court officers and soldiers.
Some of them disguised themselves as the Daxia Volunteer Army and carried out large-scale looting and slaughter in order to discredit the image of the Daxia Association.
Some of them carried out indiscriminate purges under the banner of eliminating the rebels in Daxia, accusing them of harboring bandits or colluding with rebels.
"Your Highness!" Jin Yu came up and reported, "Zhao Zhenguo from the Daxia Association is here to visit!"
"It's him?"
Yaoxuan naturally knew this person.
One of the founding fathers of the Daxia Society.
Zhao Zhenguo had been a member of the Daxia Society eighteen years ago. He was a young master from a wealthy family, so he received higher education and studied abroad in England, France, Germany and Russia.
After experiencing a series of events, he resolutely donated all his property, gave up his affluent life and devoted himself to the Daxia Society.
For decades, he was determined to devote his life to the country, was seriously injured and on the verge of death many times, never married and had no children. He was a very pure person worthy of respect.
"Invite him in."
Zhao Zhenguo walked into the house.
This elderly man, who is over fifty years old and has gray hair, has a very solemn expression at this moment.
He was accompanied by Ye Biqing, Song Zhibai and Mu Guihong, and they also had heavy expressions on their faces.
Yaoxuan hasn't arrived in Yangcheng yet.
The Daxia Association has already received the intelligence.
When they learned that Yaoxuan had come all the way to Yangcheng to ask the Martial Alliance to kill the Mad Emperor for the people of the world, Zhao Zhenguo and others felt respect for her.
As a member of the royal family of Dajing, Yaoxuan's move was not only a sacrifice of her own family for the sake of justice, but also a complete abandonment of all vested interests.
"We have all heard about His Highness Yaoxuan's righteous act!" Zhao Zhenguo still addressed Yaoxuan with respect, "In the matter of assassinating Emperor Qian, our Great Xia Association should do its best to contribute both publicly and privately!"
Yao Xuan asked: "I only believe in the Wumeng."
"The Wumeng is a Jianghu force, and its headquarters is in Guangyue. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to participate in this matter. We really can't force them."
Ye Biqing said: "The Great Xia Association is ready. We have 500 elite soldiers near Jinmen. They are the heroes who will sacrifice their lives to launch a surprise attack on the imperial palace at the critical moment."
"In addition, the Daxia Association has also contacted more than ten Grandmasters in the eighteen provinces, and they are all willing to lend a hand at the critical moment."
"This power is enough to accomplish this great task!"
however.
Yao Xuan said, "This amount of manpower is meaningless. If we send them to assassinate Emperor Qian, it would be no different from sending them to their own death."
Song Zhibai: "Impossible? Five hundred warriors plus ten great masters, with the help of His Highness Yaoxuan, can't they kill Emperor Qian?"
Yao Xuan said: "Emperor Qian began to practice evil methods many years ago, and reached the realm of martial saint twenty years ago."
"How is this possible? How can a man who is nearly a hundred years old and about to die become a martial saint?"
This information is too shocking.
But at the same time, I also feel doubtful.
"The method cultivated by Emperor Qian is not a traditional martial art. This method is not only bloody and cruel, but also extremely strange... Over the years, not only Emperor Qian, but also the nine governors of Dajing and his trusted ministers have this power. Its terrifying degree is far beyond the imagination of ordinary warriors."
Mu Guihong's face changed and he thought of someone: Rui Liancheng!
He had been an undercover agent of the Daxia Association and stayed with Rui Liancheng for five years. According to his judgment, Rui Liancheng could not have strong strength.
however.
If the Martial Alliance hadn't taken action.
I have already been dead.
Mu Guihong recalled the feeling of facing Rui Liancheng. The power he displayed was indeed completely different from that of an ordinary warrior.
Princess Yaoxuan said.
Maybe it’s not an exaggeration!
Rui Liancheng, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, who had a civil servant background and had never had any experience in long-term martial arts training, could still burst out with power comparable to that of a grandmaster.
If this power comes from the gift of Emperor Qian... Since Emperor Qian has the ability to grant powerful strength to his provincial governors, why can't he also gain this power?
After telling this matter again.
Zhao Zhenguo also had to doubt this matter.
Mu Guihong asked in a deep voice: "How strong is Emperor Qian?"
Yao Xuan said in a very affirmative tone: "The current Emperor Qian is not only a Martial Saint, but also undoubtedly the greatest Martial Saint of all time. His strength is so great that it has almost exceeded the limits of what mortals can imagine!"
Martial Saint?
The best of all time?
This evaluation is too exaggerated!
According to legend, a Martial Saint may only appear once every several hundred or even a thousand years.
Emperor Qian is the Martial Saint.
It is enough to shock the world.
The best in history? How strong is his fighting power?
In fact, don’t say it’s the best in ancient and modern times!
Even for the weakest Martial Saint, or a Grand Master like Rui Liancheng, surprise attacks and assassinations are difficult to succeed.
How strict is the security of the Forbidden City?
Hundreds of masters in the Imperial Palace are generally of the top third rank.
It is not surprising that a king has the power and resources to train several court masters to sit by his side.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to break in with just a few hundred assassins or ten masters. Everyone must be prepared to die.
If Emperor Qian himself is a grand master.
It's basically impossible to succeed.
after all.
This kind of action.
If you don't win quickly, you will definitely suffer a great defeat.
The Dajing Imperial Guard, the Imperial Guards, and the troops from various camps in the capital will inevitably rush forward.
Under the siege of thousands and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it would be impossible to escape even with the highest martial arts skills, let alone kill the emperor.
"Not only that!"
Yao Xuan said with a serious expression: "I have always suspected that there is an extremely mysterious hidden person beside Emperor Qian... I have tried to investigate several times but to no avail. This person's strength and methods may not be inferior to Emperor Qian."
If what Yaoxuan said is true.
Assassinating the emperor is an impossible task!
Not to mention the experts that Daxia would recruit, even if Mr. Yu took action himself it would be useless.
The only way was to use the army to break into the city and crush and kill them with numbers and firepower. The problem was that the Great Xia army had not even crossed the Yangtze River, and even if they reached the capital at a faster speed, it would take a year or two.
Such a long time.
No one knows what will happen.
I am afraid that the scene of blood and suffering is inevitable.
"no need to worry!"
When everyone was at a loss.
Suddenly a gentle voice appeared.
Yu Xiao, dressed in white, arrived at the scene at some point.
"All you need to do next is to cooperate." He was very calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "As for killing the emperor? Let me do it myself!"
It’s time to put an end to all this!
Yu Xiao no longer hides and decides to take action!
(End of this chapter)
