"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully conquering the Wu Commandery. The mission has been completed.
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining SP * 50000, Fantasy grade treasure Importance of Peace * 1!
As soon as he stepped into the Wu Commandery, the System's voice sounded out in Bai Feng's ears.
Attacking the Wu Commandery did not take up much of Bai Feng's time.
There were only 2,000 soldiers defending the city, and with the advantage of Great Qin's crossbows and scaling ladders, Bai Feng was able to easily take over the Wu Commandery.
Looking at the book that appeared out of thin air in his hands, Bai Feng was overjoyed.
The Importance of Peace, Occult Eight Trigrams, and Dunjia Heavenly Book were all extremely rare items.
If he could obtain any one of them, he would be able to cultivate his constitution to an extremely high level.
Furthermore, if he could control lightning like Zhang Ning, then Bai Feng would have one more guarantee to be independent!
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan hurriedly entered the city and started to make preparations.
"Remember to be filial and guard the city to the death. If you discover enemies, don't worry too much; just shoot them with crossbows!"
On the way, Lin Chuan used his Skill Points to forge some Great Qin Crossbows.
With these crossbows, he would be able to defend against enemies for a while.
At that moment, Bai Feng entered the Governor's Residence by himself.
With a thought, the System's interface appeared in front of Bai Feng.
"Ding! It has been detected that the Host has obtained a treasure for the first time. Would you like to proceed with mastery?"
As soon as he opened the System, Bai Feng heard the System's notification.
Bai Feng did not even think about it before choosing 'Yes'.
Immediately, a cool and refreshing feeling spread out from within Bai Feng's body.
The most intuitive feeling was that Bai Feng's entire body had become extremely light.
This feeling was completely different from when he had broken through the upper limit of his Constitution attribute.
At that moment, Bai Feng felt as if his body was being brushed by a cool breeze.
Immediately after, Bai Feng slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, Bai Feng suddenly realized that as long as he focused slightly, he could see through the wall and see beyond it!
Bai Feng could not help but feel shocked.
As expected of the Taiping Essentials. Back then, Zhang Jiao had been able to resist the entire Han Dynasty and the feudal vassals.
If Zhang Jiao had not lost this item in the end, Huangfu Song and the others might not have been able to succeed in their crusade.
This was already a supernatural power!
However, this was not what Bai Feng was more concerned about.
At that moment, a new option had appeared on the System's interface.
On the independent interface, there were countless Skill Points.
It was basically similar to the previous Skill Tree, except that the skills were much stronger than normal Skill Trees!
It was divided into three scrolls — Heaven Scroll, Earth Scroll, and Human Scroll.
Furthermore, each scroll was independent and could be selected at will.
The cost of each scroll was exactly 50,000 Skill Points.
Bai Feng finally understood why the System rewarded him 50,000 Skill Points directly this time.
It turned out that it was for him to select the first skill.
Otherwise, this Taiping Essentials was practically no different from not obtaining it.
Bai Feng knew a thing or two about Taiping Essentials.
The three scrolls of Taiping Essentials had different effects.
Right now, there were three skills in front of Bai Feng, all of which were the initial skills of the three scrolls.
The Heaven Scroll was to control lightning.
Very simple, it was to be able to control lightning.
However, since such a heaven-defying skill was chosen as an initial choice, it was likely that its power was far weaker than what he had imagined, or that it would consume a lot of energy.
According to the System's explanation, it consumed stamina.
The Earth Scroll was to shake the ground.
It could change the terrain.
However, just like the Heaven Scroll, its actual combat effect probably wouldn't be as good as he had imagined.
It was highly likely that it would consume a lot of energy.
The Human Scroll, on the other hand, was to increase one's martial power.
This was very simple, it could affect a specific soldier and forcibly increase their martial power. Moreover, it could exceed the upper limit of 100.
The fewer the number of people affected, the lower the consumption.
This skill was undoubtedly the most practical one.
The consumption was obviously much lower than the previous two.
Although it wasn't as heaven-defying as the previous two, it should be the most convenient to use.
Moreover, it wouldn't cause a huge commotion.
If he were to summon lightning or change the terrain on the battlefield, it was highly likely that it would attract the attention of others.
At that time, if many feudal vassals besieged him, Bai Feng wasn't confident that he could withstand it.
Moreover, it wasn't without side effects.
If his stamina was exhausted, he would faint.
Bai Feng had experienced this when he was in Xuchang.
However, this Human Scroll reminded Bai Feng of the Yellow Scarf Strongman.
It wasn't an exaggeration that the Yellow Scarf Strongman could resist a thousand soldiers alone. It could be said that it was comparable to the Swallow and Cloud Eighteen Cavalries.
If it could really be like the Yellow Scarf Strongman, then even if he didn't have many soldiers, he might still be able to fight!
After all, it wasn't the number of soldiers that mattered, but the quality.
If the five thousand elite soldiers under his command could be like the Swallow and Cloud Eighteen Cavalries, even an army of a hundred thousand might not be able to win.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng chose the initial skill of the Human Scroll without hesitation.
At this moment, Bai Feng's entire body was instantly enveloped by a layer of light.
Gradually, Bai Feng lost consciousness.
…
At this moment, in a wooden house at the border of Xiliang.
A beautiful woman slowly opened her phoenix eyes. She frowned slightly and murmured in Yan Yu,
"How … how is this possible?"
"Why would the Key Art of Taiping reappear in the world?"
This woman was none other than Zhang Jiao's daughter, Zhang Ning.
She could clearly feel an aura similar to hers looming in the distance in the south.
This power was none other than the Key Art of Peace!
Zhang Ning immediately stood up slowly and pursed her lips.
The Key Art of Taiping had clearly disappeared after the Heavenly Way of Taiping was breached.
Why had it reappeared now?
At this moment, a figure flashed across Zhang Ning's mind.
This person was none other than Bai Feng.
However, Zhang Ning immediately shook her head.
That was impossible.
The last time she had seen Bai Feng, she had noticed that he was different from other people.
However, there was no way he could have mastered the Key Art of Taiping.
Zhang Ning had been cultivating the Key Art of Taiping with her father since she was a child. It had been almost fifteen years since she had reached this level.
The last time she had seen Bai Feng was only a few months ago.
At that time, there was no sense of the Key Art of Taiping on his body.
How could he have cultivated an aura that she could sense from so far away in just a few short months?
Zhang Ning let out a long sigh and left the wooden house.
A dozen or so Qiang Tribe soldiers were tied up inside the wooden house.
After Zhang Ning left, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder fell from the sky and struck straight at the wooden house.
In an instant, the wooden house was set ablaze. The Qiang Tribe soldiers were all dead.
Zhang Ning's footsteps were already heading toward the south.
No matter who it was, Zhang Ning had to go take a look.
If they could be of use to him, he would recruit them.
