It was a pity that Zhong ShuSi's swordsmanship and dou qi were above Lin Muyu's, but he had underestimated his opponent and underestimated Lin Muyu's ability to counterattack. In the end, he was killed by True Dragon Essence Fire.
Lin Muyu softly leaned against the bed and took out a bottle of healing medicine and poured it on the wound. She didn't call for help and just sat there to recover her energy. She had to quickly heal the wound or else it would be terrible if there were any internal injuries left.
… …
In the morning, the Holy Temple was in an uproar. A top-notch assassin had infiltrated the Holy Temple to assassinate a Venus training partner and was instead killed by the training partner. This news quickly spread throughout the Holy Temple and even more than half of the Imperial Capital. This was no small matter. What kind of place was the Holy Temple? It was the symbol of the Empire's strongest power. Now, someone actually dared to enter the Holy Temple to kill someone. This was simply too daring.
"Peng!"
Lei Hong's palm landed on the blue embossed table. His face was full of anger as he faced a group of deacons, instructors, and training partners. His voice was abnormally cold as he said: "The Holy Temple is heavily guarded. Just who let this assassin in?"
Zeng Fang stood there expressionlessly.
Ge Yang said: "Great Deacon, we have found out. This assassin is called Zhong ShuSi and is a notorious bounty hunter in the Lanyan City. As long as he is given enough Jin Yin coins, he is willing to do anything. This Zhong ShuSi even said that as long as someone can pay a sky-high price, he would dare to infiltrate the Ze Tian Temple and take the Emperor's head … … the Radiant King's head … …"
"Simply too daring!" Lei Hong's face was ashen. Zhong ShuSi infiltrated the Holy Temple to kill someone. This was simply challenging his authority as the Lord of the Holy Temple.
"Investigate thoroughly. The Holy Temple's walls are very high and there are guards at night. It is impossible to climb over the walls. Zhong ShuSi must have been brought in by one of our own. Investigate thoroughly who brought someone in yesterday!"
"Yes!" Ge Yang cupped his fists and said.
At this time, Zhang Wei turned to Zeng Fang and said with a smile: "Oh, at dusk yesterday, I saw the Young Marquis bringing a few servants into the Holy Temple. I don't know if I saw wrongly."
Zeng Fang's face turned cold: "Zhang Wei, what do you mean? Are you suspecting me?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Zhang Wei cupped his fists, "This subordinate was just thinking of this matter and did not mean anything. The Little Marquis is an open and candid person, a man of honor and righteousness. I, Zhang Wei, have no doubt about the Little Marquis' character. It is absolutely not the Little Marquis who wants to kill Lin Zhi."
Zhen Fang's face was extremely ugly, alternating between green and white. Everyone in the Divine Temple knew that Zhen Fang wanted to kill Lin Zhi, so he was the biggest suspect. Moreover, a bounty assassin like Zhong San, could only be hired by a high official or noble like Zhen Fang?
Zhang Wei was born a commoner, so he naturally stood on Lin Zhi and Little Beansprout's side. In fact, he was so hot-blooded that he didn't even care about his own safety. In this world, the only thing he wanted was to be happy!
…
Reihom said coolly, "No need to argue. I'll investigate this matter personally. Once I find the culprit, I won't let them off lightly! The Holy Temple is the symbol of the Empire's power, and it cannot be blasphemed by vile people! "
The group of people cupped their fists. "Yes, Grand Deacon!"
"Then let's disperse!"
After everyone dispersed, Reihom called out to Lin Muyu, "Lin Zhi, wait a moment."
"Grandpa Reihom, what's the matter?" He stopped and asked.
"How's your Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll recently? Are your injuries serious? "Reihom asked with concern.
Lin Muyu's heart warmed, and he smiled awkwardly, "I don't know how my cultivation is going, but it should be considered as a small success? Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill this Zhong San. "
"En, I've checked Zhong San's wound, it was a one hit kill. You must have used your own body as bait, otherwise this kind of bounty assassin who kills people like flies would not have been defeated so easily."
"Yes, Grandpa Reihom."
"I was too lazy, I was cultivating last night, so I didn't go to your place."
"It's alright, I can protect myself." Lin Muyu smiled confidently.
"That's good, go."
"Yes."
…
Because of his injuries, Ge Yang gave him three days of rest, which made Lin Muyu feel like a fish in water. He just wanted to use these three days to do something!
He went out and went straight to the direction of Wan Sheng Weapon Shop. Next, it was time to ask the Sword Elder to teach him the Imperial Sword Technique!
But he didn't go far, suddenly a horse galloped from afar. The horse was a beautiful girl in a green dress, about 18 years old, and she was extremely beautiful. She shouted from afar, "Excuse me, are you Master Lin Zhi?"
"En?"
Lin Muyu stopped, "Who are you?"
The girl turned over and dismounted, her hands lightly clasped on her lower abdomen, and bowed to do a standard imperial lady's bow. She smiled and said, "My name is Jin Xiaotang, I'm Jin Zizhu's daughter from the imperial medicine shop. Hehe, I'm also the deputy leader of the imperial business. Master, the auction for the Peak of Dreams that you consigned to the medicine shop has been completed, I'm here to find you!"
"Oh, it's Miss Jin!"
Lin Muyu beamed. In his eyes, this Jin Xiaotang had turned into a gold-plated beauty. She was here to give him money!
Jin Xiaotang was very polite. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Master Lin, the five bottles of Dream of Extreme Peak that you sold were sold for 4500, 5200, 5400, 5500, and 5700 gold coins. After deducting 20% of the transaction fees, you will receive 21040 gold coins. Dad said that since this is the first time we are working together, he will give you a round figure of 22000 gold coins. Here are 22 diamond coins, please count them, Master!"
She raised a golden pouch, which was filled with 22 diamond coins. Lin Muyu's heart leaped with joy as she felt like a nouveau riche.
This feeling was amazing!
After accepting the bag, Lin Muyu said happily, "Thank you, Miss Jin!"
Jin Xiaotang shook her head with a smile and took out a bright, transparent card from her bosom. She said, "Since the transaction has exceeded 20,000 Jin Yin dollars, according to the rules of the trading house, this diamond card is a gift to you. Customers with a diamond card can enjoy a 30% discount on purchases in the imperial trading house and a 10% commission on sales. In addition, the diamond card has a balance of 10,000 Jin Yin dollars and an overdraft limit of 50,000 Jin Yin dollars. This card is specially infused with the power of a spirit beast to control the amount, so it can be used in any large trading house. Please accept it, Master!"
Lin Muyu accepted the card, but her heart was as clear as a mirror. She smiled and said, "I'm afraid a mere transaction of 20,000 gold coins is not enough to get this card, right?"
Jin Xiaotang burst into laughter, and said with a smile, "Master is indeed smart. Actually, only a transaction of 500,000 gold coins can get a diamond card, but Master is a little special."
"Why am I special?"
"Because you are the only person who can refine Dream of the Extreme. You are the only one in the world of alchemy." As she spoke, Jin Xiaotang bowed again, and said with a smile, "Master Lin Zhi, if you can refine Dream of the Extreme, please put it up for auction in our trading house first. Xiaotang guarantees that you will not suffer a loss."
"I see." Lin Muyu smiled slightly, and said, "Alright, I will. Thank you, Miss Xiaotang!"
"You're welcome. I'll be leaving then."
"Goodbye."
…
Jin Xiaotang spurred her horse and left. Lin Muyu held the heavy 22 diamond coins in her hand, and all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. The feeling of being rich! But on second thought, he thought of the pitiful Little Beansprout. As a Copper Star Sparring Master, was his life only worth 500 Gold Yin Coins? Wouldn't the 22 diamond coins in her hand be enough to buy the lives of 44 little beansprout?
Slightly sad, she took the money and went straight to the Wan Sheng Weapon Shop.
When he arrived at the weapon shop, the shop assistant actually recognized him, and said with a face full of smiles, "Young hero, you are here … Our shopkeeper was right, young hero will definitely come again."
"Oh? How did Senior Sword Elder know that I would come again? "
"First, young hero is a person who loves swords. Second, young hero is a person who uses swords. Young hero, please follow me, the shopkeeper is in the backyard."
"En, thank you!"
When she saw the Sword Elder again, the old man was still hale and hearty. He stood alone in the backyard with his hands open, and a formless energy surged around him. It was this energy that gave him the ability to control swords.
"Senior!"
Lin Muyu bowed. As a member of the Holy Temple, it seemed that other forms of etiquette were not appropriate.
The Sword Elder slowly turned around, and with a radiant face, he said with a smile, "Young hero, we meet again. Last time you came to broaden your horizons, I wonder what you are here for this time?"
"I want to learn from Senior the art of controlling swords with Qi," Lin Muyu said respectfully.
"Learn swordsmanship?"
The Sword Elder could not help but smile, and said, "This old man has not taught for many years, young hero, please go back!"
Lin Muyu was unmoved, and said, "There must be a reason for not teaching, this junior would like to hear the details."
The Sword Elder felt a sense of novelty, and said with a smile, "Alright then!"
As he said this, the Sword Elder put his hands behind his back, and sword energy surged around his body. His green robe slightly swayed, and he smiled, "This old man is not willing to accept disciples for three reasons. First, I do not accept ordinary people as my disciples. Second, I do not accept people who are competitive, and third, I do not accept people who are not proficient in swordsmanship. Young hero, as long as you can break my three restrictions, I can consider accepting you as my disciple."
Lin Muyu was slightly stunned, this was really a strange old man, and the threshold for accepting disciples was quite high!
After thinking for a while, he said, "First, this junior does not think that I am an ordinary person."
"What do you mean?"
"The so-called natural talent must be useful, even if one is mediocre in life, they should be able to accomplish something. Not to mention, with my talent, I will inevitably have a magnificent achievement. If I were an ordinary person, I would not have come to ask the Sword Elder to teach me."
"Well said! What a good natural talent must be useful! " The Sword Elder nodded in appreciation, and said, "You have passed the first point, and the second point, how do you prove that you are not a competitive person?"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath, "The reason I want to become strong is because I do not want to see the many injustices in this world. I want to become strong because I want to change this world."
"Change this world?" The Sword Elder could not help but laugh, "Do you have the ability? Boy … "
"I can try, and exhaust my strength." Lin Muyu clenched her fist, her eyes were firm and clear.
"Good!"
The Sword Elder laughed, "This second point is considered as you have passed, but the third point, are you a person who is proficient in swordsmanship?"
"This …"
Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed, "This junior has only learned some superficial swordsmanship."
"Show me!"
"Yes!"
