Chu Li raised the wine glass to his lips and turned away from Zhuo Feiyang to observe the scenery outside. He asked casually, "How's the progress with King Jing?"
Zhuo Feiyang shook his head. "It's not going well. My martial arts is too weak and I'm not qualified to get close to him. I've been guarding the Imperial Residence!"
"Don't rush." Chu Li calmly said, "Being too greedy will only make things worse. Let's take it step by step. This isn't something that can be done in a year or two."
"How long?" Zhuo Feiyang stared at him. "Don't tell me it's a lifetime?"
"You'll know in ten years." Chu Li pondered. "It might be even longer. You should be prepared to stay in the Imperial Residence for a long time. Ten, twenty, or even fifty years!"
"Then would I still be a member of the High Duke's Public House?" Zhuo Feiyang scoffed. "I think I should just join him. He has a better future!"
"Sure." Chu Li nodded. "As long as you can escape the High Duke's Public House."
"Hmph!" Zhuo Feiyang glared at him helplessly. "But he's been keeping a low profile recently. He doesn't even interact with the courtiers!"
"What do you think of him?"
"How would I know!"
"You're ambitious." Chu Li smiled. "How can I not care about this?"
"I think he's too conservative." Zhuo Feiyang did not hold back anymore. There was no need for him to hide anything from Chu Li. "This is a great opportunity. Now that King Ping has relinquished his military power, no one in the imperial court can compare to him in terms of reputation. We should take this opportunity to rope in more courtiers and increase our prestige."
Chu Li smiled. "I'll just be your Protector! Once my martial arts becomes stronger, I'll be able to get close to him and gain some knowledge. I'm leaving! "
He stood up and left.
"You …" Zhuo Feiyang glared at Chu Li's back.
He was obviously being underestimated!

The bright afternoon sun shone brightly.
Chu Li floated down from the back of the Spirit Crane. The Spirit Tiger on the boulder at the peak of the mountain roared and took the opportunity when Chu Li was about to land on the ground to pounce on him. The Spirit Tiger's snow-white fur shone beautifully under the sunlight.
Its claws were so powerful that Chu Li would be torn to pieces if he was hit.
Chu Li joined his palms together in mid-air. A white tiger silhouette quickly formed and crashed towards the Spirit Tiger.
The spirit tiger turned its head away without a care in the world, avoiding its eyes. When the white tiger phantom collided with its neck, its snow-white fur quivered like ripples on the surface of water. Instantly, it dispelled the shocking force of the Spirit Focus attack and its speed did not decrease at all.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and reappeared on the back of the Spirit Tiger.
"Wu!" An enraged roar rang out.
Chu Li felt as if his ears had been deafened. His vision went black and he felt dizzy. The power of this roar was truly astonishing. If he had not activated Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture with all his might, he would have passed out immediately.
Blocking the roar of the spirit tiger could activate Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture wasn't eye-catching among the four scriptures, but it was profound and unfathomable. It could strengthen one's psyche and counter divine arts, as well as negate the restraints of others.
Originally, he could not use his divine powers in the Great Light Scripture and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. Now, however, he could counteract and restrain them, allowing him to maintain his divine powers freely.
If he could continue strengthening it, he might be able to see through Zhi Shan's thoughts the next time he faced him!
Zhi Shan had always been his greatest enemy. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was mysterious and unfathomable, and its tricks were mysterious and impossible to guard against.
Chu Li grabbed onto the smooth and pliable tiger fur to prevent himself from being flung away.
The spirit tiger charged forward and then stopped abruptly. Chu Li felt like he was nailed to the tiger's back. However, the tiger fur was extremely smooth and it took him a lot of strength to resist the huge inertia.
Seeing that this move wasn't working, the spirit tiger suddenly rolled over.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared from the tiger's back. However, as soon as it stood up, Chu Li reappeared and rode on its back.
"Wu!" The spirit tiger roared again, louder this time.
Chu Li's vision darkened as he desperately activated Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. The speed at which the lotus appeared increased by a few times and kept strengthening his psyche to resist the spiritual attack of the roar.
Chu Li endured the roar and held onto the tiger's fur tightly. He allowed the spirit tiger to jump on the mountain peak, from one boulder to another. It was as agile as a cat and was extremely fast. Especially when it jumped and landed, it was abrupt and violent.
Chu Li remained unmoved as he was nailed to the tiger's back.
There was a formless murderous aura on the spirit tiger's body.
Chu Li could already resist it now. Staying close to the spirit tiger's muscles and aura, he had a deeper understanding of the spirit tiger and a deeper understanding of it.
He had been constantly entangled with the spirit tiger to find the feeling that he was the spirit tiger and the spirit tiger was him so that he could comprehend the White Tiger Power.
He did not have much hope for the power of the White Tiger Power. He only wanted to cultivate it to perfection and then become an Enlightened Master.
However, he slowly realized that he had underestimated the White Tiger Power.
After staying close to the tiger for a few days, he had comprehended the first level of the White Tiger Power and realized that it was very powerful.
The key to the inner energy of the White Tiger Power was the murderous aura. If one could not comprehend and master that layer of murderous aura, the power of the inner energy would be mediocre, similar to that of the White Tiger Sect.
However, after mastering this strand of murderous aura, the inner energy of the White Tiger Power would be solid and pure. Moreover, its lethality was shocking and not something that ordinary inner energy could compare to.
In terms of lethality and destructive power, it was even better than the Divine Light Technique.
The source of this layer of murderous aura was one's spirit. Without the spirit of the king of beasts, it would be difficult to comprehend this strand of murderous aura. Then, the inner energy of the White Tiger Power would fade away and one could only rely on inner energy and the White Tiger Killing Skill to win.
Inner energy was like a knife while the murderous aura was like the edge of the knife. Without the edge of the knife, it was a blunt knife that relied on strength, not sharpness.
With this strand of murderous aura, the knife would have a sharp edge. It was not a competition of strength but sharpness. It was a completely different realm and power and could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Because of this, he had been risking his life to tangle with the spirit tiger.
The spirit tiger was extremely powerful and lived up to its name as the king of beasts. In front of it, Chu Li was like a three-year-old child and posed no threat at all. If the spirit tiger succeeded even a little, Chu Li would definitely die a horrible death. If he made a mistake and its claws landed on his body, it would be useless no matter how powerful the Life and Death Scripture was.
It was this life-or-death situation that stimulated his potential to the maximum, desperately increasing his cultivation level and the sharpness of his spirit.
The spirit tiger was so much stronger that he could not afford to make even the slightest mistake or he would die.
After entangling with the spirit tiger for a while, Chu Li suddenly disappeared from the tiger's back and appeared on the back of the spirit crane in the sky. The spirit crane was circling in the sky. With a clear cry, it flew away from the Spirit Tiger Peak and returned to the Spirit Cranes Peak.
Xiao Qi was meditating and cultivating on a rock. Her clothes were as white as snow, and she sat there like a white jade statue.
When she heard Chu Li's return, Xiao Qi slowly opened her eyes. She knew it was time to leave.
When the two returned to Adjacent Town, it was already dusk and the lanterns were just lit. The two went to a restaurant and enjoyed the scenery of the small town while they ate.
After their meal, the two strolled back to the residence and returned to their respective houses to comprehend martial arts.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that everything was peaceful in the town, Chu Li returned to Gale City.
When he arrived at Gale City, he secretly looked for Jiang Kuai and gave him a Tiger Bone Pill to help Jiang Kuai improve his martial arts.
Jiang Kuai had a solid foundation and his cultivation level improved rapidly after he entered the Grandmaster's Boundary. However, he still could not compare to the four major sects, so he needed some external help. The Tiger Bone Pill would strengthen his physique.
When he returned to his residence in Gale City and was about to rest, he noticed Li Ruolan and Lu Zhen gliding over.
They had come to bid farewell and were going to Falling Autumn City to support Mo Qianjun again. The battle there was fierce and they were short of manpower.
