The Enduring Monk was wearing black satin clothes with a large leather robe on the outside and a black gold kasaya on the inside. He also had a layer of Silver Shark Armor, which was extremely sturdy. Even the Godly Crossbow that could pierce through iron armor within 50 steps might not be able to penetrate it.
As a Wu Sheng, with the protection of the Silver Shark Armor and the black gold kasaya, he was absolutely invincible. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as a galloping humanoid beast.
Especially for a Wu Sheng like the Enduring Monk, when he exerted all his martial arts, ghosts and gods could not get close to him, and crossbows could not penetrate him. Martial arts and Taoist techniques could not do anything to him.
Hong Yi felt that it was overkill for such a person to intercept a group of silver carriages and offerings, like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
But now, he was trying to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. To think that he was still unable to kill it.
Now, the Enduring Monk's clothes were torn into pieces. Even the black gold kasaya and the Silver Shark Armor, which were worth tens of thousands of gold coins, were torn into pieces. He looked like a beggar, and his situation was very different from that of Wu Sheng.
If someone said that a Martial Sage was in such a sorry state, no one would believe it even if they were beaten to death.
But fortunately, although the Enduring Monk was injured, it was not fatal.
"What's going on? Did the Daluo send a master to escort the silver carriage? That's impossible. The silver carriage isn't anything important. How could it be escorted by an expert? Even Ghost Immortals can't do anything to someone like Master Ninja. Could it be the God Splitting Avatar of the Daluo Sect Leader? "
"Someone, bring me a set of clothes. Also, bring the ginseng soup. "
After asking the Enduring Monk to sit down, Hong Yi asked someone to bring another set of clothes and a bowl of ginseng soup. He asked the Enduring Monk to change into it, so that he would not be in a sorry state.
Although Wu Sheng had a strong recovery ability, he still needed to take care of himself. He could not accumulate old injuries, or it would be troublesome when he got old.
"I'm fine. But Hong Yi, how did you become a Wu Sheng? That's impossible! You must know that changing blood is the most difficult stage in martial arts! "
After drinking a cup of steaming hot ginseng soup, the Enduring Monk's face was glowing again as he hurriedly asked.
"I only consumed a Supreme Dao's Diyuan Spirit Pill, that's all." Hong Yi knew that the Ninja Monk was a martial arts fanatic. He would not stop until he asked about his transformation. Plus, it was incredible that he had turned into Wu Sheng.
"Supreme Dao's Diyuan Jindan! Where did you get it? This elixir is incredible. Its medicinal power is incomparably overbearing. Given your body's condition, you will definitely bleed profusely and become extremely weak after consuming it. To think that you are able to endure such extraordinary pain. More importantly, after consuming this elixir, one's spirit and body will become one, which is extremely disadvantageous to dao technique experts. "
As the Enduring Monk spoke, he showed his mastery of the Diyuan Jindan.
"Oh? You're actually so familiar with this pill. Could it be that your Daizen Temple has refined it before? Or have you eaten it? "Hong Yi asked with interest.
"I haven't, but this is one of the three great elixirs of the Supreme Dao. The Medicine King Hall of the Daizen Temple has long studied it. Unfortunately, none of the medicine monks in the past generations has been able to refine it." The Enduring Monk shook his head and said, "The Taishang Taoist is too powerful. As long as he cultivates the Renyuan Grand Elixir that consolidates one's foundation and cultivates the Diyuan Jindan, he can create batches of Martial Sage experts. He is simply the Taishang Supreme Master who is above nature."
After sighing at the power of the Taishang Dao, he slowly recounted the events of the assassination of the silver carriage.
"This time, when I went to intercept the silver carriage, I caught up with this group of people in the Yoshikawa Province of Zhongzhou. But when I just took action, I didn't expect that another group of caravans passed by and happened to rescue them. That caravan was called the Tianji Trading Company! It was a huge caravan that transported goods from Qingzhou to Yujing. I found many experts from the Heart Fist Sect, Taiyi Sect, Yuan Tong Sect, Three Notes Sect, Rolling Stone Sect, and a few other big sects! Among them, there were many experts at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level. The leaders of those sects were also among them. Although their martial arts were not as good as mine, there were 18 of them in total. Among them, there was a Taoist expert who had mastered Body Possession. When they joined forces, it was difficult for me to fight them with two fists, and I was chased all the way! Relying on my superior leg technique, I managed to escape.
More importantly, the people around them were all Xiantian experts. They used a small and delicate crossbow, but the penetrating power was too strong! But I managed to snatch one! I'll let you have a look. I've never seen this kind of crossbow before, but it's engraved with the words' Tianji Trading Company's Tianji Godly Crossbow '! "
The enduring monk flipped his hand and took out a delicate steel crossbow from a bag behind him. Hong Yi looked at the crossbow's body and saw that it was made of Nephrite Elastic Steel. The internal structure was incomparably delicate. Layers of Nephrite Elastic Steel intertwined like rattan, but the center was hollow. There was a steel wire string at the side, and there was a handle beside the crossbow. After a few steel arrows were stuck on the handle, with a gentle shake, the arrows were stuck inside, and then the string was gradually nocked. There was no need to waste much strength at all.
This crossbow could shoot a total of 10 steel arrows as long as chopsticks. Moreover, it could shoot continuously if it wanted to, and shoot together if it wanted to. The scale on the crossbow was exquisite to the point of millimeters.
The intricate internal structure had completely subverted Hong Yi's understanding. It was a work of art that surpassed nature, and did not seem to be made by humans.
He picked up the crossbow, aimed outside, and pulled the trigger. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh! Ten arrows whistled through the air, leaving behind a long trail of air. In an instant, they reached a big tree 500 steps away, piercing through the trunk.
Inside the crossbow, clicking sounds could be heard, as though something was turning.
"Its firing range is actually comparable to Penetrating Rainbow! Moreover, its penetrative power is so strong? It is at least three times that of the Divine Arm Crossbow. Moreover, it does not require the strength of the Divine Arm Crossbow, only that it takes longer to nock the string. However, ten shots in a row is something that the Flying Locust Repeating Crossbow can't even catch up to. This weapon is truly terrifying. As long as it is an expert with agility, with several tens of people working together, even Wu Sheng would be in grave danger. However, Nephrite Elastic Steel is a precious item. How could there be so many of them? "
Hong Yi muttered.
"I don't know about that. However, the Tianji Trading Company seems to have military connections," the enduring monk said.
"Taiyi Sect, Heart Fist Sect, Yuan Tong Sect, Three Notes Sect, Rolling Stone Sect, these are all big sects! While their reputation was slightly lower than that of Jadelake Sect and Daluo Sect, they were still filled with experts. While there were no Martial Sages or Ghost Immortals among them, there were still some Sect Masters, Elders, and experts who were on the fringes of the world. Yet, such a formidable force had actually banded together. And they even joined the Champion Marquis' Tianji Trading Company? Going to the capital together? What does that mean? "
The more Hong Yi thought about it, the more he frowned.
The Tianji Divine Crossbow was one thing, but the big sects of the Pugilistic World had all joined together.
It should be known that the big sects of the Pugilistic World were nothing to Hong Yi, but ants could bite an elephant to death. Moreover, they were all gathered together and heading to the Jade Capital. That was strange.
"Let's forget about this matter." Hong Yi thought about it. "Recently, by chance, I obtained half of the Rulai Sutra in the Daizen Temple! It contains the method to condense one hundred and eight acupoints! "
As he spoke, Hong Yi waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the void. From the crack, half of the sutra appeared and was handed to the Enduring Monk.
"Not bad! This half of the sutra? Is this the Rulai Sutra in our Daizen Temple? Why is it here? How did you get it? "The Enduring Monk's hands were trembling.
Hong Yi told him about the Merit Buddha statue, and how Consort Yuan had divided the Rulai Sutra into three parts and hid them in different places by Hakuziyue.
"Hmm? The Buddha has three Dharma Forms, Dharmakaya, Nirmanakaya, and Sambhogakaya. The Merit Buddha is one of them. So the Rulai Sutra was divided into three parts. Then what is the Dragon Soul of Taishi Mountain suppressing in the underground palace of our Daizen Temple? "
The Enduring Monk shook his head.
"I don't know either. Let's talk about it later!"
"With the method to condense one hundred and eight acupoints, I dare not say that I will become a Human Immortal, but I will definitely reach the peak of Wu Sheng's realm. I will not be weaker than the 'Saber Sage' Gong Yangyu."
The Enduring Monk held the book carefully, as if he was holding a child. "I didn't expect that the classics of our Daizen Temple would see the light of day again."
"Young Master, Wang Ye wants to see you. He said that he wants to discuss the imperial examinations in spring."
At this moment, the flying guillotine called out from outside.
"Alright! I will go immediately. "
Hong Yi stood up.
It was spring, and the imperial examinations were the first major event in the imperial court.
Hong Yi wanted to pass the imperial examinations this time and enter the central organization of the imperial court to officially become an official. Although passing the imperial examinations was not much easier than cultivating to become a ghost immortal, with Prince Yu as a shortcut, it would be much easier.
"Spring thunder, spring thunder! I wonder when it will come? " When Hong Yi stood up, he looked up at the sky. The sun was warm and there were no dark clouds.
"Marquis, today, the materials escorted by the heads and elders of Three Notes Sect, Rolling Stone Sect, Taiyi Sect, Heart Fist Sect, and Flexible Connection Sect have all been sent to the warehouse of Golden Hall in Jade Capital."
This was a huge misty space, surrounded by a gray color. It was like chaos, but not chaos. Occasionally, there was a clear air flowing in the chaos.
Obviously, this was a Spirit Space.
However, compared to the Cosmos Sack, this Minor Thousand World was much smaller. It was only five or six miles in radius and was only a little more than thirty meters tall. It didn't have that kind of clear and bright feeling. Instead, it seemed like a world that had just been born, a world that hadn't been formed yet.
It was more like a small city of earthy gray.
With a radius of five or six miles, it was a town. If it really stored materials, it could store a lot of them.
This was the space in the Gourd of Fate.
The Champion Marquis was still short-haired and wore a loose brocade robe.
In front of him was a huge stone. This stone looked like a piece of unpolished jade. It was as tall as a person and shaped like an egg. There were several holes on it. Inside the stone, there seemed to be something vaguely nurturing. Inside, there was a figure that looked like a human or a monkey. It was unknown what kind of magical stone it was.
At this time, Princess Yullette stood behind the Champion Marquis. She was wearing delicate leather boots and dressed in an exotic style. She was really a peerless beauty.
"Oh! Have they all arrived? Let them transport the things to the Taoist temple of Fang Xiandao in Mount Jade Dragon and let them refine elixirs. Spring is coming and the thunder is about to rumble. Only one more thunder is needed. The thing in this magical stone will condense into a body, become a living person, and break out of the stone. At that time, I will have a big doppelganger. I'm afraid this doppelganger is a Human Immortal! "
The Champion Marquis walked to Princess Yullette's side and put his arm around this peerless beauty's waist. Then, he reached his hand into her collar.
Princess Yullette twisted her body and looked at the magical stone in front of her. She said solemnly, "This is really strange. I only know that the peach trees of the Divine Wind Nation can give birth to a human fetus, but I didn't expect that a stone can also give birth to a human!
"Haven't you heard of the story of jumping out of a crack in a stone? I found this magical stone at the top of Sky Pillar Mountain. I didn't expect that it would give birth to a spirit embryo! Since a tree can give birth to a human, so can a stone. One of the seven treasures of the Peach God Path, the God Splitting Doll, is a spirit of heaven and earth! In ancient times, there was a Holy Emperor. According to the records, he was also born from a stone. However, to give birth to a spirit embryo in a peach tree, it takes at least ten thousand years, and it has to endure countless lightning strikes. Finally, by chance, it is born. But to give birth to a spirit embryo in a stone, it takes a million years, or even ten million years. "
The Champion Marquis smiled and said, "This magical stone is a piece of unpolished jade. It is rich in essence energy. In the Sky Pillar Mountain, it has endured many years of wind and rain. This year, when the spring thunder strikes this stone, the spirit embryo will jump out. It is born with the power of a Human Immortal, and it will become my incarnation. It will be connected to my bloodline. When that time comes, even Hong Xuanji will not be a match for it. Hmph! Hong Xuanji actually warned me! He forbade me from coming into contact with the mother and daughter from Yaochi school! Although I can kill him now, the price is too high. Let this spirit embryo suppress him, and that will be enough. "
"Why are you so lecherous? Back then, you even dared to flirt with the Sky Snake King. " Yululette sighed. "Now you even dare to flirt with Hong Xuanji's woman. But you just said that you can kill Hong Xuanji! It seems that you still have a trump card? "
"Not only Hong Xuanji's woman, but that Consort Yuan Monarch Sweetyfox is also not bad." The Champion Marquis smiled again. "Of course I still have a trump card, but it is not enough to deal with Hong Xuanji. It is very likely that both sides will suffer. That time, I verbally flirted with the Sky Snake King, and her doppelganger came to kill me. Didn't I escape to the Western Regions and have a fortuitous encounter? This divine stone is what I came across by chance when she was chasing me. "
