"How did the Yao clan find out?"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed. He had always viewed the matter of the Hyderabad ore as his top priority, so he rarely revealed it to others.
At the very least, no one knew where he got his WuZi Steel sword for several months. The fact that the Yao Clan was able to find out about the 'Hyderabad ore' was enough to explain a lot of problems.
"Where did you hear that from?"
Wang Chong turned to look at Deng Mingxin.
"I also heard about it from Zheng Xuan. Once, he was chatting with someone, but he didn't say anything. He was chatting with someone once, and I happened to overhear their conversation. "
Deng Mingxin gritted his teeth.
In the past, he would never have dared to do such a thing. But Zheng Xuan had already abandoned him. Since that was the case, he couldn't be blamed for this.
"Zheng Xuan?"
Wang Chong's eyebrows shot up.
"I didn't hear much about this matter. I only heard that King Qi and the Yao clan wanted to deal with you, and this matter should have something to do with the Hyderabad ore."
Deng Mingxin knelt on the ground.
"I understand."
Wang Chong waved his hand. "I'll agree to this. Don't provoke Sun Zhiming anymore, including the Sun clan. Otherwise, you'll know the consequences.
Deng Mingxin quickly left, but Wang Chong fell into deep thought. Deng Mingxin was just an insignificant figure. As long as he was alive, he wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.
But the information he had unintentionally provided had made Wang Chong think of many things.
Deng Mingxin only knew the name, so he didn't necessarily know what the 'Hyderabad ore' was. But Wang Chong knew that the 'Hyderabad ore' was his' lifeline ', as well as the lifeline of the entire Wang clan.
It was precisely because of the 'Hyderabad ore' that the Wang clan was able to fill in the final gap. They could truly become a clan like the Yao clan, perhaps even stronger than the Yao clan.
But this was far from the case for Wang Chong.
War was a game of economics. Without sufficient funds, no matter how powerful an individual was, they would not be able to change the future.
"I've already obtained 300 jun of Hyderabad ore, and the cooperation with the Zhang family is already on track. Even if the Yao Family knew about the existence of the Hyderabad ores, they wouldn't be able to threaten me. But for these guys to be able to find out the name of Hyderabad Ore, they're really not simple. "
Wang Chong thought to himself.
His connections in the court had already been established. Not to mention that his uncle's attitude towards him had changed, he could request for experts from him at any time. Just with the Imperial Army Commander Zhao Fengchen, Wang Chong could easily have him alter the patrol routes of the Imperial Army at night and strengthen the defense of the Wang Family Residence.
Even if King Qi and the Yao Clan wanted to, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
"However, one must not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. We have to be careful about this matter. "
Wang Chong thought to himself.
After sending off the grateful Sun Zhiming, Wang Chong calmed himself down and focused on his cultivation.
Ever since his reincarnation, Wang Chong had already made all the preparations he could. The most urgent matter at hand was to raise his cultivation.
Klang!
With a thought, the blunt sword hanging on Wang Chong's waist flew into his hands. With lightning speed, he hacked at the three wooden puppets five steps away.
Chi!
A surge of Origin Energy pierced through the air and struck one of the wooden puppets. But soon, Wang Chong's Origin Energy was exhausted. He was unable to fire a second or third surge of Origin Energy.
"It's still too weak. Again!"
With a thought, Wang Chong struck the wooden puppet once more.
Swordsmanship was an offensive technique, not a secret art of internal energy. Thus, compared to other internal energy cultivation techniques, swordsmanship focused more on technique.
The activation of Origin Energy and the condensation of sword qi — these were all content that swordsmen needed to learn.
What Wang Chong was doing now was the content taught in the Art of Life Massacre. According to the requirements of the hundred words manual, the first step was for Wang Chong to release his Origin Energy through his sword and strike three wooden puppets within a second.
As the distance between the wooden puppets increased, the number of wooden puppets increased. Only when he could release his Origin Energy within a second and strike twelve wooden puppets at a distance of ten zhang would Wang Chong be able to truly cultivate his sword qi.
And these were only the prelude to the Art of Life Massacre. The number of words on the mental cultivation method was only ten.
The Art of Life Massacre didn't require one to cultivate internal energy, but it was far more difficult to cultivate than any other manual.
Chi!
Once, twice, thrice, four times …
A hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times!
In the dull training room, Wang Chong drew his sword time and time again. The training camp had just opened, and there were many Imperial Army members on the mountain. This period of time was surprisingly peaceful.
"Chi!"
Three days later, Wang Chong's back was drenched in sweat. With a wave of his hand, three streams of Origin Energy struck three wooden puppets five steps away simultaneously.
The number of wooden puppets increased rapidly. Seven days later, there were six of them. Then there were seven, eight, nine …
There weren't many shortcuts in the cultivation of sword qi. This was something Wang Chong knew in his previous life.
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen!
Half a month later, the number of wooden puppets in front of Wang Chong had reached fourteen. This had already exceeded the requirements of the training.
"I can start the next step of the training."
Wang Chong thought to himself as he began to pull the distance between the wooden puppets.
Origin Energy couldn't be condensed indefinitely. The further the distance, the more energy would be expended. The second stage of the Art of Life Massacre was to increase the distance of the Origin Energy transmission step by step.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The first few times, Wang Chong failed. The Primordial Qi shot out from the iron sword disappeared within five steps. But soon, Wang Chong realized the key to this.
"If I want to transmit the Origin Energy further, I need to make the Origin Energy from the iron sword smaller!"
Wang Chong thought to himself. After understanding this step, Wang Chong immediately knew what to do.
Five steps, six steps, seven steps!
Wang Chong slowly condensed the Origin Energy from the iron sword, making it smaller and denser.
Eight steps, nine steps, ten steps!
The distance between the wooden puppets and Wang Chong was getting further and further. This kind of thing didn't require too much comprehension. Instead, it required constant practice and slowly grasping the key.
Eleven steps, twelve steps, thirteen steps … four zhang, five zhang, six zhang!
The Origin Energy from Wang Chong's iron sword was getting further and further away. This level of Origin Energy couldn't actually hurt anyone, but Wang Chong didn't care.
Because this was the foundation of the Art of Life Massacre.
Eight zhang, nine zhang, eleven zhang!
When the wooden puppets were getting further and further away from Wang Chong, the Origin Energy from Wang Chong also became thinner and smaller. But the luster was getting stronger and stronger.
In a single second, Wang Chong was able to strike more than a dozen wooden puppets at a distance of 120 zhang. Finally, he could enter the third stage of the foundation training.
This stage was impossible for Wang Chong alone. Therefore, Wang Chong found a few people.
"Are you ready?"
In the dark secret chamber, it was so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers. They could only communicate by sound.
"En."
Wang Chong nodded. In the next moment, countless square-shaped wooden blocks were thrown at Wang Chong from three different directions.
Chi!
Origin Energy whistled, and streams of energy whizzed out, shooting at the small square-shaped wooden blocks in the air. Pa! Pa! Pa! Except for six or seven wooden blocks that were hit, the rest of the wooden blocks whizzed out and hit Wang Chong's robe.
"It's still a bit difficult to determine the position by listening to the wind."
Wang Chong opened his eyes and thought to himself.
The third basic training of the Art of Life Massacre was to determine the position by listening to the wind. This was not only to determine the position of the enemy by listening to the wind, but also to train precise swordsmanship.
The higher the level of swordsmanship, the higher the requirement for control and precision.
As the top and unparalleled technique in the past, the Art of Life Massacre had even stricter requirements in terms of technique. Precision, speed, and accuracy were the basics of swordsmanship.
Only by mastering these could one truly learn more advanced swordsmanship.
…
While Wang Chong was concentrating on practicing the Art of Life Massacre, a group of people were beating drums and gongs outside the Kunwu Training Camp on a mountain very close to the White Tiger Peak.
"What are these guys doing?"
The people on the White Tiger Peak were the first to notice the strange situation nearby. At first, they were still puzzled. But gradually, they felt that something was wrong.
"These guys … These guys are actually building a house there!"
Looking at the foundation that had appeared on the peak of the mountain in just a few days, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Someone is actually building a house near the Kunwu Training Camp. Who are they?"
"Where did these guys come from?"
"Where did they come from? What do you think? Do you think Kunwu Training Camp can be built with money? "
…
In an instant, a hint of fear appeared in everyone's eyes. Outsiders were not allowed to enter Kunwu Training Camp. The other party actually dared to build a house at such a close distance. This person must have a powerful background.
Some people wanted to go and take a look, but after hearing this, they immediately backed out.
The other party clearly knew that this was Kunwu Training Camp, yet they still dared to build a house here. Obviously, they had a powerful background. Most of the people in Kunwu Training Camp were ordinary civilians or the descendants of ordinary government officials. These people were not to be trifled with.
"Who the hell is this person? He even mobilized the Imperial Guards?"
At the same time, on the Vermilion Bird Peak and the Green Dragon Peak, many people from aristocratic families also noticed this scene. However, unlike the others, they noticed that there were some figures on the peak of the mountain. They were obviously from the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards were the Emperor's guards. Since the other party could mobilize the Imperial Guards, it was obvious that he had a powerful background.
Many people from aristocratic families also revealed a look of fear, not daring to provoke him.
"Hurry up, build this mansion as soon as possible!"
At this moment, at the top of the mountain, Wang Chong's uncle, Li Lin, was commanding a group of masons on the peak of the mountain with a few Imperial Guards.
Li Lin had accepted Wang Chong's letter and bought this mountain range according to the latter's request.
The Kunwu Training Camp strictly forbade outsiders from approaching, but places outside the camp were not subject to this rule. Wang Chong saw this loophole and asked Li Lin to buy the mountain in advance, preparing to build his first base on the mountain.
Until now, no one had reacted. Wang Chong had taken the initiative. When others reacted, it would be a different story.
However, although he had exploited a loophole, it still involved the Three Major Training Camps. Generally, even if the imperial court did not prohibit it, it would be difficult to take it down easily.
But Wang Chong was different.
As the saying went, someone in the imperial court had a good idea. Wang Chong just asked The King of Song for a favor and bought the mountain at the price of 80,000 taels of gold.
