Chapter 23 Return to Jinyang City
Lin Mo complained to the system in the depths of the Beast Forest, and looked around to see if there were any suitable medicinal herbs. Lin Mo recalled that before Liu Emei fought with the move inspired by his sword heart, she seemed to have swallowed some pills, and then her momentum increased significantly.
Therefore, he developed some interest in the alchemy system of this world. The martial arts atmosphere of this world is not like what he saw in the novels of his previous life, where it is not just a competition of martial arts moves, etc., or only orthodox martial arts or evil martial arts can make it to the end.
As Lin Mo knew, among the seven major families, the Zhuge family mainly used calculations on celestial phenomena, and thus developed a set of exercises that were only suitable . They improved their cultivation by drawing on the power of the stars to bless themselves.
The Ouyang family mainly practices the Confucian skills that they knew in their previous lives. There are also many people in the court who study Confucian skills. What they cultivate is a kind of talent similar to internal strength, which is improved through studying. The higher the knowledge, the higher the level of cultivation.
There is also the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in the Nine Netherworlds, which relies on perfect poison skills to defeat the enemy, and focuses on refining itself into the strongest poison, so it is resisted by major forces.
The Gu Emperor Garden in the Nine Netherworlds Evil Way refines various types of poisonous or medicinal Gu as a means to improve oneself or fight against the enemy. The types of Gu are also varied. Some can be swallowed and then coexist, some are swallowed once to improve one's physical fitness or increase physical strength, and some have various characteristics of their own. During battle, you can briefly absorb the characteristics of this Gu to deal with the enemy.
Finally, there is the Beast King Valley of the Nine Netherworlds, where you form a blood pact with some spiritual beasts and grow together. At critical moments, you can use the skills of the Beast King Valley to bless your partner's strength. Some people tame a large number of beasts and then tame them together as a means to fight the enemy.
In short, this world is more colorful and more tragic. Even though the Nine Nether Evil Way is so evil, it has been suppressed by the three Buddhist temples and the five Taoist palaces. But this has also caused the current phenomenon of the evil way being weaker.
When Lin Mo thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh that the righteous forces were still the strongest. At the moment, he was in contact with people from the Six Swords, Seven Families and Eight Gangs, and only Tang Yu from the Tang Clan was considered one of the proud sons of this generation.
Even Liu Emei, who was equally matched with him, was not the strongest core disciple in the Yuenu Sword Society.
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that the world is really too big. After wandering around in the depths of the beast forest, he didn't find any treasures. Instead, he saw that the aura in several caves was particularly strong, which should be the level of Qi training. As the vitality of this world is filled, some beasts will also revert to their ancestral bloodlines due to swallowing a large number of beasts containing vitality, until they open their spiritual intelligence.
Although they cannot be compared with humans, they are naturally much more difficult to deal with after they have wisdom. I heard from Tang Yu before that in the Beast King Manor, wild beasts with deep bloodlines are cultivated and then handed over to the new generation of disciples for blood contracts. The strength of this plus one is far greater than the two, but very few wild beasts in the Beast King Manor want to grow up.
The currently recognized owner of Beast King Manor, who is ranked fourth on the Earth List, is Ji Tianzang, known as the Roaring Sky and Earth-shaking Giant Beast, and his blood-contracted giant beast, the Roaring Sun Tiger. It is said that the roar of the Roaring Sun Tiger shakes the sky, and it can cooperate with Ji Tianzang to launch sonic attacks. Wherever the sound passes, no grass will be left, so Ji Tianzang is also called the Roaring Sky and Earth-shaking Giant Beast.
Lin Mo didn't think too much about it. After all, this Roaring Sun Tiger was already an ancient beast. Its bloodline had reverted to its ancestral lineage several times, and it had long since left the category of different beasts. He estimated that it would be difficult to encounter one. However, he still wandered around in the forest without giving up. As a result, he heard the roars of various beasts from the caves, which warned Lin Mo that he had entered their territory.
Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to retreat. His current strength had only recovered about 30%, and he needed to go back to the inn to recuperate. He had an appointment with Uncle Mu tomorrow. Given Uncle Mu's situation, he should know which inn I was staying at. He should go back and wait for Uncle Mu with peace of mind. Thinking of this, Lin Mo walked towards Jinyang City.
At the place where Lin Mo and Liu Emei had fought before, some people from the imperial court had gathered, including Lord Zhou from the Hidden Ink Group. Lord Zhou looked at the signs of annihilation all around him, and then looked at the remaining traces of battle a little further away, and couldn't help but pinched his brows and said:
"The sword mark should be from the little girl from the Yue Girl Sword Society. Why are they fighting in the middle of the night? But it was obvious that they got really angry in the end. I don't know if both of them will be injured or one of them will die. Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect Jinyang City."
Then they withdrew their troops, and the remaining people from various sects and families also came here to look at the traces of the battle. Han Xiao from Jianxie Sect recognized that one of them should be Liu Emei. After all, the Eighteen Styles of Su Nu was the signature martial arts of the Yue Nu Sword Society, and everyone who joined the sect would start learning from this technique.
Han Xiao also discovered that both Liu Emei and the other knife expert were stronger than him. He could not withstand this last move. Thinking of this, his face became even uglier. He prepared to go back to the inn to find Liu Emei and see how she was doing. After all, it was impossible for her to be unscathed after such a competition.
The remaining two major families and the evil duo also recognized the Eighteen Styles of Su Nu, and their faces looked a little ugly. After all, they were all opponents who were about to enter the underground palace. But from this battle, it seemed that each side should be stronger than themselves. Even if they used their trump cards, it was hard to tell who would win or lose in the end. Then they left with their own thoughts.
In the end, the only ones left were Tang Yu and Xu Tianfu from the Blood Demon Cult. For some reason, after Xu Tianfu and Tang Yu had chatted at the Hu family, they felt like old friends at first sight. Just now, they were drinking in the restaurant when they saw a team of constables and the Lord Zhou they had met at the Hu family hurrying towards the Beast Forest. They thought there was something new, but they didn't expect that after arriving here, they only found some traces left over from a battle.
Tang Yu shook the handle of the fan in his hand and said to Xu Tianfu: "Brother Xu, guess who the two parties are."
Xu Tianfu looked at the sword and knife marks carefully and replied, "One of them should be Liu Emei. As for the other one, the knife marks are very strange. It shows the intention of killing all powerful enemies, but there is also a bloodthirsty aura left. Among the people from the major forces in Jinyang City that I know of, there should be no such person."
Tang Yu knew who it was after seeing the knife marks. He was also surprised that before in the restaurant, Lin Mo could only barely block the sword of Meng Qing of the Dugu Demon Sect. But now, through the traces of the battle, although it is impossible to tell who won or lost, it at least shows that Lin Mo already has the strength to fight head-on with Liu Emei, who is at a similar level to Meng Qing, or even slightly surpass her. The change was so fast in just a few days.
Then he said to Xu Tianfu: "This is a friend of mine. I can take you to meet him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Xu Tianfu nodded and said, "I am looking forward to meeting him. The technique he practices should be similar to that of my Blood Demon Sect, but he suppressed his desire to kill. This is very interesting."
Tang Yu couldn't help but think of what Lin Mo had said to him before. Feng Hen of the Heavenly Demon Cult had reminded him not to reveal his martial arts and weapons in front of Xu Tianfu, otherwise Xu Tianfu would covet them. He couldn't help but wonder if he had set a trap for Lin Mo, so he tried to test Xu Tianfu:
"Brother Xu, are you interested in the technique he practices?"
Xu Tianfu shook his head and replied, "There are many such skills in my Blood Demon Sect. I am just more interested in this person because few people outside of the Blood Demon Sect practice this kind of murderous martial arts. If you are not careful, you will be easily targeted by those so-called famous and upright sects. Your friend is either very skilled and bold or he has never shown his strength in public."
Tang Yu thought about it and felt that Xu Tianfu's guess was right. Lin Mo had been in Jinyang City all along, and the disciples he had come into contact with were those who had recently arrived. The sects they belonged to did not uphold absolute justice. It seemed that he should remind Lin Mo if he had the chance. He cupped his hands and said to Xu Tianfu:
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xu. I will tell my friend to be more careful. He has indeed been in Jinyang City the whole time. This underground palace is also an opportunity for him. When the time comes, he will be able to leap like a fish in the vast sea and fly like a bird in the sky."
Xu Tianfu smiled and said, "Brother Tang, you seem to have great confidence in your friend. I am really looking forward to meeting him. We haven't finished the wine yet, let's go back and continue drinking."
The two of them left together.
Lin Mo also knew that the traces of the previous battle were too obvious, so he returned to the inn after walking around. While taking pills, he began to regulate his internal injuries. At the same time, he began to recall his feelings during the battle with Liu Emei. After all, he taught himself all his martial arts. Although he could get started well at the beginning with the help of the system, this was wild fox Zen after all, and naturally his foundation was not as profound as that of the righteous disciples.
Therefore, after each battle, Lin Mo would recall the previous battle scenes to verify and fill in the gaps. This time, the use of the prototype of the Sword Heart was also accidentally brought into play. Most large sects should have detailed inheritance. For this reason, Lin Mo is considering the feasibility of joining a large sect.
Most of the Six Swords have been trained since childhood, and what I practiced was a sword, which was not suitable at all. The Seven Families are all family-based, so I could be an external deacon disciple if I went there, but there would be a big difference in training. The last Eight Gangs and Nine Evils were good, and as for the Three Buddhist Temples and the Five Taoist Palaces, Lin Mo had never even thought about it.
As for the four great dynasties, the imperial court had a lot of resources to cultivate, but the trouble was that the imperial court would definitely investigate one's own life experience in detail, and one didn't even know whether the result of the investigation would be good or bad, so one couldn't bet on it.
Gangs like the Eight Gangs and the Nine Evils won't dig into your past, because most of the Eight Gangs are in the form of an alliance, which is relatively loose but usually united to the outside world. The Nine Evils themselves belong to the evil sects, so no matter how bad your past can be.
Lin Mo fell into deep thought again. After all, this was a major matter concerning his future.
It is better to draw the rewards of the previous main quests first. The three-star skills have a significant enhancement effect. For example, Lin Mo’s Zhenhai Tianshan Kung Fu has greatly improved his combat power just after he started. Therefore, Lin Mo is still looking forward to this draw.
