"Why did such a thing happen?"
After a series of trials, Junior Leopard's application of the Three Realms Division had greatly improved compared to before. However, he also discovered his own problem during this process. That was, his bone strength had far exceeded the standard of the Bone-Forging Realm, but the strength of his body was still in the Bone-Forging Realm. It was not very compatible with the bone strength. Therefore, during the following period of practice, Junior Leopard deliberately strengthened the practice of his skin and flesh. The number of times he practiced the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill had far exceeded the number of times he practiced the Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist. The purpose was to strengthen the strength of his skin and flesh.
However, as he practiced further, his skin and flesh strength increased greatly, and the nature of his Internal Qi also changed.
The Internal Qi of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire in his body was completely integrated under the influence of the Mysterious Fire. In addition, the Bright Moon Deifying Skill was constantly condensing and compressing it. In terms of quality, it was much more condensed than an ordinary expert of the Bone-Forging Realm. It was not weaker than an expert with a cultivation above Level Seven.
However, changes came with it. After his battle with Long Granny, his bones were damaged. He used the Bone-Forging Pill and the Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist to heal them. Not only did they heal his internal injuries, but they also unexpectedly strengthened his bones and his strength increased to a higher level.
He was very happy at first, but now, he found that the strengthening of his bones was slowly affecting his Internal Qi. Especially after he crazily practiced the toughness of his skin and flesh to match the toughness of his bones, the increase of his physical strength also affected the nature of his Internal Qi. In the past few days, when he ran his Internal Qi, he was surprised to find that his Internal Qi began to faintly flash the same golden luster as his bones.
He couldn't help but be taken aback.
The nature of Internal Qi was determined by two aspects. One was one's physical constitution, and the other was the Internal Qi mental cultivation method one practiced. For most people, the first aspect could be completely ignored, because the influence of physical constitution on Internal Qi practice could only be gradually revealed after one reached Level Seven. For most people in the martial arts world, they could not feel the influence of physical constitution on practice at all.
Junior Leopard's cultivation was only at Level Four, and the cultivation of his two External Elixirs had reached Level Six, but he still couldn't feel the influence of his constitution on his Internal Qi.
The Internal Qi cultivation method he practiced was also a decisive factor that affected the nature of his Internal Qi. However, due to his special situation, the Mysterious Fire in his body and the Bright Moon Deifying Skill also affected the nature of his Internal Qi. Therefore, his Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire was slightly different from that of others who practiced the same cultivation method. Whether in terms of quality or power, it was far superior.
However, Junior Leopard thought that was all. He had never thought that his Internal Qi would be affected by his physique when he was only at Level Four. Although the influence was still weak now, he believed that it would be strengthened in the near future. As for whether it was good or bad, he could be sure now that it was a good influence.
The biggest difference between the cultivation of Level Seven and Level Six was not only the degree of condensation, but also the property. When one's cultivation reached Level Seven or higher, his Internal Qi would be affected by his physique and produce different properties.
He didn't know about others, but he could clearly feel the property of Long Xunmo's Internal Qi when he fought with her. Although Long Xunmo's cultivation had reached Level Seven, the process was too coincidental. Therefore, although her Internal Qi initially produced its own property, it was far from mature and could not be used in actual combat. Otherwise, it would not be easy for Junior Leopard to defeat her with his own body and without other means.
Now, the Internal Qi cultivation of his body was only at Level Four, but there were signs of the property. He couldn't help but be shocked. After the shock, he pondered for a while, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Now, his Internal Qi had produced an attribute. Although it was out of his expectation, it was still within reason.
Because his Internal Qi had been condensed to an extreme level, it was not weaker than an ordinary Level Seven expert. Moreover, after the last treatment, the strength of his bones had also reached the level of the Tendon-Changing Realm. Under the influence of the two factors, it was only a matter of time before the Internal Qi produced properties.
"I don't know what the property of my Internal Qi is. Although it feels good, there are so many useless things in this world!" Junior Leopard felt a little worried, but soon he was relieved. The final property of Internal Qi was determined by one's physique. It was like a person's appearance. It was predestined by the parents and could not be changed.
Since it could not be changed, then there was no need to worry too much about it. Just let nature take its course.
What's more, the golden luster in his Internal Qi could only be seen through his abnormal eyes when it was running in his body. Now, except for himself, perhaps even a Level Nine expert like Wang She would not be able to find out that his Internal Qi had its own unique property.
After the running, he gently exhaled. The Internal Qi returned to his Dantian and bones. His face returned to normal.
"Jiang Xiao, Zhu Ba, come in!"
Just then, the door of the room opened with a squeak. Jiang Xiao and Zhu Ba walked in. "Your Excellency Commander!"
"You've been standing here for a while. What's the matter?"
"Shopkeeper Ding of the South Bay Warehouse wants to see you. He asked me to talk to Zhu Ba!" Jiang Xiao said.
"South Bay Warehouse?" Junior Leopard sneered and turned his eyes to Zhu Ba. "Zhu Ba, how many have you collected this time?"
"Hehe, Your Excellency, not much, not much!" Zhu Ba laughed dryly. After getting along with Junior Leopard for such a long time, Zhu Ba was familiar with Junior Leopard and was not as cautious as before. "It's money that comes to me automatically. It's a waste not to accept it!"
"Yeah, it's a waste not to accept it. Be careful that you'll be burned to death by money!" Junior Leopard scolded him with a smile. "I won't see him!"
"Won't see him?" Zhu Ba was stunned for a moment and looked embarrassed. "Uh, well, Your Excellency, you see, I've taken the money. You …"
"I won't see him. I know why he's here!" Junior Leopard waved his hand as if he was swatting a fly. "Zhu Ba, how many times have I told you to do this as naturally as possible? You must be making things difficult for their family again. That's why they came to me, right?"
"Our brothers only dare to make things difficult for their family, Your Excellency!" Zhu Ba smiled bitterly. "Without your order, who dares to make things difficult for others?"
"So, it's my fault?" Junior Leopard's face darkened and he scolded in a low voice.
"No, no, no, no!" Zhu Ba hurriedly waved his hand. "It's just that our brothers have become much more well-behaved recently. They don't dare to mess around like before!"
"I don't want you to mess around. I just want you to use your brain more!" Junior Leopard looked helpless. "Your Excellency Jiang, it's okay that he doesn't have a brain to mess around with others. Why are you following him?"
"Isn't it because he begged me?" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly. "A steward of the South Bay Warehouse who is related to my wife came to my house last night and pestered me for a long time. I had no choice but to agree first!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Just don't want to see him. It's no big deal!" Jiang Xiao said. "He's just a warehouse boss. Your Excellency, I'm afraid we have to be more careful about what we do next. There's something wrong in Jianghu recently!"
"Yeah, I know!" Junior Leopard nodded. "I don't care about what's going on in Jianghu, but we have to pay close attention to the situation in Jiang City!"
"That's for sure!" Jiang Xiao nodded. "Since Your Excellency doesn't want to see him, I'll send him away right now to avoid trouble!"
"Well, you can go!" Jiang Xiao turned around and left. Zhu Ba also shrank his head and wanted to follow him. However, he was stopped by Junior Leopard.
"Zhu Ba, did I tell you to leave?"
"I don't dare!" Zhu Ba hurriedly said.
"I heard that you've become a celebrity in the Apricot Blossom Tower recently!" Junior Leopard sneered. Since Zhu Ba had money in his pocket, he would go to the red-light district of Jiang City whenever he was free. He enjoyed himself so much that he forgot to go back. He even had several fights because of this. However, he had been practicing diligently recently and his martial arts had improved rapidly under Junior Leopard's personal guidance. He had won several fights in a row. His reputation in the red-light district had spread to Junior Leopard's ears.
"Uh, this, hehe, Your Excellency, don't listen to their nonsense. There's no such thing. I've been well-behaved recently!"
"Well-behaved? Haven't you been to the Apricot Blossom Tower?" Junior Leopard laughed.
"I've been there, of course I've been there!" Speaking of this matter, Zhu Ba felt a bit embarrassed. "Sir, I don't go to the Apricot Blossom Building to drink wine. It's because I have a lover in the Apricot Blossom Building, so I go there often!"
"I've also heard that. She's called Yuzhu, right?"
"Yes, yes, it's Yuzhu!" Speaking of Yuzhu, Zhu Ba nodded repeatedly. "I originally wanted to redeem her, but I don't have enough money, so …!"
"You want to redeem her?" This time, Junior Leopard was really surprised. He thought that this guy only went to visit prostitutes. He didn't expect that he would be visited by a prostitute in the end!
"Yes, I want to redeem her!" Zhu Ba lowered his head even more.
"How much money do you need?"
"Three, three or four hundred taels!" Hearing Junior Leopard's question, Zhu Ba's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Junior Leopard with surprise in his eyes.
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'll give you money to redeem your lover? "Junior Leopard was so angry that he almost kicked him.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
"Well, don't make a fool of yourself here. Isn't there a person outside who wants to beg you? Haven't you thought of squeezing some money out of him? "
"Him? Shopkeeper Ding? " Zhu Ba's face showed a puzzled expression at first, and then he became happy. "Your Excellency, you mean …!"
"Get out!"
Zhu Ba didn't ask again. He rolled and crawled out. When he left, he had a very satisfied smile on his face.
"Bastard!"
As for this guy, Junior Leopard could only curse helplessly.
"You're really considerate to your subordinates!"
After scolding Zhu Ba away, Junior Leopard was ready to go out. Suddenly, a faint sigh came to his ears. Junior Leopard's body suddenly stopped, and a trace of horror flashed through his eyes. He turned around abruptly, only to see a man in black standing quietly behind him. When he came, he didn't feel it at all.
"Who are you?" Junior Leopard's heart slightly moved. He felt that the man's figure was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"What? You don't remember me? I still remember you!" The man's face was sallow. When he grinned, he showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth. His appearance looked very ordinary, but under this ordinary appearance, there hid a strength that made Junior Leopard's heart palpitate.
"Have we met before?" Junior Leopard asked softly. Although the feeling in his heart told him that he had met this man before, he couldn't be sure and couldn't remember it.
"Four years ago, in Ningzhou City. At that time, you were still a boy, a boy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you remember?"
Hearing the man's words, Junior Leopard suddenly remembered.
Yes, it was this man. That was the first time he traveled in Jianghu with Xu Yong. They went to the Wen Family in Ningzhou City because the Wen Family got a piece of Tianluo Dark Gold. As a result, when they just arrived and stayed there for one night, a man in black rushed to the Wen Family and took away the Tianluo Dark Gold. They went in high spirits but returned in disappointment. That man was this man in front of him.
Their figures were exactly the same. The only difference was that that man was wearing a strange robe and a strange mask. Now, this man was wearing an ordinary cyan robe with no mask on his face.
This was a Level Seven expert!
Junior Leopard's heart trembled. He slightly stepped back and made a vigilant posture. The Internal Qi in his body also began to operate.
"Don't be so nervous. I don't come here with malice!" The man smiled and said, "Wang She asked me to find you!"
"Wang She?" Junior Leopard's expression changed. He looked at this man strangely. He couldn't think of any relationship between this man and Wang She.
However, before he asked, the man said again, "Wang She said that your strength was extraordinary and that you already had the strength to fight with a Level Seven expert. I didn't believe it at first and wanted to test you. But you killed the Old Dragon of the Meng Family that day, which already explained all the problems. So, I came here today!"
"You said that Wang She asked you to come here. Do you think I should believe it?" Junior Leopard sneered.
"Yes, if I were you, I wouldn't believe it either. But Wang She asked me to tell you that when you killed the bear at home, you did a good job!"
Junior Leopard's eyes suddenly focused. A cold spirit was emitted from his body and disappeared in a flash.
Killed the bear at home?
Of course, he remembered. It was that time when his Fiery Eyes were awakened at the critical moment of life and death. At the same time, Wang She also saw it. This kind of thing, only Wang She knew.
Only Wang She knew the meaning of killing the bear at that time.
However, since Wang She asked this man to say that he killed the bear beautifully, it also meant that this man only knew that he killed a bear, but didn't know that he had awakened the Fiery Eyes.
When he thought of this, his heart calmed down again.
"Oh, I see. Chief Wang is really a thoughtful person. I wonder why Chief Wang asked you to come and find me?"
"Wang She is in trouble recently. He proposed that you take his place until he comes back!" Seeing that Junior Leopard believed his words, the man didn't ask more. He just said faintly, "It seems that your friendship is indeed not shallow. No wonder he proposed that you temporarily replace him!" "That's right!" Junior Leopard nodded.
"Take his place? Take his place for what?" Junior Leopard was stunned. He didn't understand what this man meant. When Wang She went to Northern Yuan, he did come to him. But at that time, there was no such thing in his will.
Thinking of this, he said, "I don't understand what you mean. Chief Wang didn't mention it when he left!"
"Of course he didn't mention it. Because he didn't know that there would be a mission when he was away. I believe that he didn't expect that it would come to him so soon!" The man laughed.
"Mission?" Junior Leopard's heart moved. He asked, "Are you from Tian Long Taoism?"
"I have nothing to do with Tian Long Taoism!" The man said and looked at Junior Leopard with a very interesting expression. "Don't try to trick me. Since Wang She has decided to let you replace him, then, I will naturally tell you everything that can be explained!"
"I don't understand!" Junior Leopard said, but he had some guesses in his heart. Wang She was the Chief of Tian Long Taoism. Then, even if there was a mission, it should be from Tian Long Taoism. But this man said that he had nothing to do with Tian Long Taoism. Thinking of his mysterious appearance when he seized the Tianluo Dark Gold, Junior Leopard was shocked. "Could it be that Wang She secretly joined some terrorist organization?"
"Well, kid, don't think so much. Come with me!"
Junior Leopard said, "Wait!"
"What? You don't believe me?"
"That's not it!" Junior Leopard shook his head and said, "Since Chief Wang wants me to take his place temporarily, I have nothing to say. But I want to know if I can refuse the mission you mentioned!"
"Of course you can. But if I were you, I wouldn't refuse!" The man laughed.
"I also believe that Chief Wang won't harm me!" Junior Leopard said with an embarrassed expression. "But as you know, I'm now the Navy Commander of Jiang City. I have a lot of things on my hands. Even if I'm going to leave, I have to leave some things first. How long will this task take?" Junior Leopard said with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"At least one month, at most half a year. You're right. There are some things that need to be explained!" The man said, glancing at Junior Leopard, "I'll wait for you in Jiang City. After you deal with things, come to Pengcheng Inn in Jiang City to find me!"
"Okay!" Junior Leopard nodded. The man's figure flashed and went out of the window. After a few flashes, he disappeared.
Junior Leopard watched the man leave. His face gradually darkened, and he cursed Wang She in his heart, "Damn this guy."
"It's okay if you go to die and make trouble by yourself. But why did you involve me?
You even let me take your place. God knows what kind of organization you've joined. If it's really a terrorist organization that's against the whole world, I'll be dead. "
Thinking of the man's strange dress in Ningzhou City that day, Junior Leopard felt that the organization Wang She joined was not a good one.
But he thought about their members again.
Although Junior Leopard only knew two, one of them was a Level Nine expert, and the other was a Level Seven expert. He thought that the strength of this organization should not be weak. In fact, with Wang She's character, if it was an ordinary organization, he would absolutely disdain to join.
"It seems that Wang She intended to pull me into the pirate ship from the beginning, but he didn't have a chance. This time, he took advantage of his own troubles to get me in. It's a good idea!" Junior Leopard thought to himself, "But, since it has come to this, I can only follow his wishes!"
Indeed, Junior Leopard had no other choice now.
He also couldn't think of a way to get rid of all that Wang She had arranged for him.
"Forget it. Let's take one step at a time. I'd like to see what kind of wishful thinking Wang She has in mind!"
He thought fiercely in his heart.
The next day, he called Wang Cheng, Jiang Xiao, and the other people of the Navy of Jiang City together and handed over all the affairs to them on the pretext of closed-door training. In fact, all the affairs of the Navy had been done by this group of people all along. Junior Leopard only needed to tell them that he needed to do closed-door training in this half a year and would not appear in River Heart Island. No matter what happened, they could decide by themselves and didn't need to report to him, the Navy Commander of Jiang City. Of course, if there was something that couldn't be solved, there was no need to be anxious. Everything could wait until he came back.
Hearing that Junior Leopard was going to do closed-door training again, everyone had different reactions. Wang Cheng, Wang Datong, and Yuan Long were very happy. Although Junior Leopard didn't care much about the affairs, he always felt that he couldn't relax because there was always someone above him. This was like Junior Leopard's previous life, hoping that the leader would go on a business trip all day long. When the leader wasn't at home, naturally there would be more actions of his own choice.
However, Jiang Xiao and Zhu Ba, who usually benefited the most from Junior Leopard, were somewhat reluctant.
"Your Excellency, you just passed the closed-door training. Why do you want to do it again?"
"I'm a genius. I often have closed-door training. Can't I?" Junior Leopard said grumpily.
"But Your Excellency, I just prepared to redeem Yuzhu and marry her. How can I marry her when you're not here?" Zhu Ba said.
"You really want to redeem your sweetheart from the Apricot Blossom Tower?" Junior Leopard was stunned for a moment. He looked Zhu Ba up and down and said, "It seems that you cheated Shopkeeper Ding yesterday."
"Hehe!" Zhu Ba touched his head and laughed, "Your Excellency, do you think it's a few days late?"
"No, I have to do closed-door training while the feeling is still there. Otherwise, if the feeling is gone, it's useless even if I do closed-door training again!" Junior Leopard shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me. If you want to marry her, just marry her. Don't miss the auspicious day. Now it's too rushed. I don't have the mood to prepare a congratulatory gift for you. But you can rest assured that when I finish my closed-door training, I'll give you a big one!"
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency!" Hearing that Junior Leopard would give him a big congratulatory gift, Zhu Ba immediately beamed with joy.
"Are you satisfied now?" Junior Leopard laughed and scolded, "You bastard, you're only thinking about my congratulatory gift, right?"
"How can that be?" Zhu Ba beamed with joy and denied. But the joy on his face had completely betrayed his true thoughts.
…
…
At night, in the Rocking Journey Inn, Jiang City, in the Earth Room No. 2 of the West Wing Courtyard, two figures rushed out of the room and disappeared into the vast night.
Junior Leopard followed the man. Although he had already used his body movement, he was still left behind by the man. After running for dozens of miles, Junior Leopard looked at the back of the man, who was almost a black dot. He suddenly stopped and no longer used his Lightness Skill. Instead, he walked forward at the speed of a normal person. As he walked, he shouted, "Why are you running? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
The black figure in front of him suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
His rapidly advancing figure also came to a stop.
"Brat, hurry up. My patience is limited!"
"It's not that I don't want to be faster. It's just that you're a Level Seven expert and I'm just a Level Four rookie. How can I keep up with your speed?" Imitating the man, Junior Leopard complained. His voice condensed into a line and spread far away.
"You have an External Elixir!" The man said impolitely, "Kid, don't think about holding back your strength in front of me. I have no malice to you!"
"Even if I have an External Elixir, so what? I'm just a Level Six expert. Do you really expect me to keep up with your speed? "Junior Leopard panted heavily and said with a face full of annoyance.
"Haha, sure enough, it's like what Wang She said. Although you're young, you're far calmer than your peers. You don't have the competitive spirit that a teenager should have. This is your biggest strength, but at the same time, it's also your biggest weakness. It's a pity that although your cultivation is strong, you lack the spirit that a young person should have!"
"Spirit can't be eaten. What do I need it for?" Junior Leopard said impatiently. He walked slowly in front of the man and carefully looked him up and down. He said, "Senior, can we make a deal?"
"What?"
"Can you tell me where we're going this time and then we'll go separately? I know you're in a hurry. Then, you use your peerless Lightness Skill to get there first. As for me, I'll wait until dawn and find a market to see if I can buy a good horse. Even a bad one is fine. I'll get there as fast as I can. What do you think? "
"What if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree? No way, senior. It's no use forcing me like this. I really can't run fast. Besides, why do we have to use Lightness Skill when we can ride a horse these days? " Junior Leopard said. He simply sat on a stone by the roadside and put on a look that said, "I'm not going anywhere."
The man smiled and said, "It's not far. You'll be there soon. Our Immortal Palace has a foothold nearby!"
