Chapter 164 Shennong Ding Sanjue Palace

I’m afraid it’s not that easy.

Zhao Wumian was noncommittal: “How do I know this isn’t a trap set by you and Guo Wuwei, waiting for me to get to the base and then repeat what happened on the top of Yuxu Peak?”

Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “I really can’t prove it. Soul search might be a good option, but my pride won’t allow me to hand over my head to others. You can let someone else handle it. I believe the Pacification Division must want to remove this thorn now. In addition, if the base is exposed, I will also be suspected, which will also be a big risk.”

“…”

Zhao Wumian pondered and said, “Which floor are you on? Which floor is this base on?”

Li Tianran simply said, “I am from Qianlong Tower, and this is Chongyang Tower… I know what you want to ask. Each tower and city is independent of each other and develops independently. I know that I have my own secrets. I can’t tell you about Qianlong Tower. This is digging my own grave! With your ability, you may be able to unravel the mystery and seek revenge through Chongyang Tower, or even find Yujing Society.”

Zhao Wumian: “Where is it?”

Li Tianran: “Taiyuan.”

“Oh?”

Zhao Wumian raised his head with a half-smile: “Why do I feel more and more that this is a trap?”

Li Tianran understood what he meant. “I can tell you clearly that, as far as I know, the Yujing Society has nothing to do with that drug dealer. They can refine a large number of [Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pills], and there is a high possibility that they have secret techniques or artifacts. If the Yujing Society has such things, they will definitely make a fortune quietly and will not make the matter known to everyone. This is inconsistent with their previous style.”

“That’s true.”

Zhao Wumian believed this.

As for the elixir, the Yujing Society is still waiting for the [Elixir of Immortality]. If there is such a magical weapon, it must be digested internally. This drug dealer has other origins. Since he dared to make this public, the power behind him must not be small.

Li Tianran added: “Of course, I don’t think this drug dealer is stupid. They must have a trick up their sleeve… If I were to guess, it’s probably not magic, but a divine weapon! One of the twenty-four heavenly soldiers can do it… If they really have this thing, then this group of people is not simple!”

Li Tianran’s face was solemn.

Three words flashed through Zhao Wumian’s mind——【Shennong Ding】!
In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs for the common people and laid the foundation for medical skills in later generations. The ancient cauldron that Shennong used to refine hundreds of medicines was the [Shennong Ding].

It is said that the cauldron has accumulated the energy of countless elixirs for thousands of years, so it can save the dying and the wounded, and turn decay into something magical.

[Shennong Ding] has been handed down for a long time.

Compared with the reclusive Eight Diagrams and the warlike Huangshi Heavenly Book, the Shennong Ding itself is spiritual and kind. Anyone with a kind heart like a doctor can have the tripod recognize him as their master, regardless of their qualifications or cultivation. It can be said that it has the lowest and, to some extent, the highest requirements among the twenty-four heavenly soldiers.

The previous owners include Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao…

However, the Shennong Ding can only save people, not hurt people, and the doctor who got the treasure still finds it difficult to protect himself.

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, let alone such a divine weapon.

Therefore, few people can have a good ending.

Bian Que was envied by Li Xi, the imperial physician of Qin State, and was brutally murdered. Hua Tuo also died in prison because he was suspected by Cao Cao.

Only the “Medicine Saint” Sun Simiao was spared because he lived in a tolerant era and met a kind king.

Sun Simiao knew very well that every doctor was precious. Even if one doctor could save a hundred people, those hundred doctors could save ten thousand people.

Physician self-protection is equally important.

Sun Simiao therefore founded the “Baihua Valley” sect, and used the energy of thousands of herbs and medicines in the [Shennong Ding] to create the peerless martial art “Shennong Jue”!
This is a recognized secret weapon of heavenly rank!

Its only flaw is that it complements the Shennong Ding. Without the Shennong Ding that gathers the medicinal properties and toxins of thousands of flowers, plants and trees, it is impossible to practice the “Shennong Qi” that can freely switch between the two!
This kind of Qi can use the power of hundreds of herbs to cure diseases and save lives, and bring the dead back to life in a short period of time! At the same time, medicine is three-point poison, and you can also use the hidden toxins of hundreds of herbs to make yourself produce internal energy containing hundreds of poisons, instantly invade the opponent’s body, and instantly destroy their five senses and meridians, turning them into disabled people even if they don’t die.

This martial art is very powerful!

However, not all the people in Baihua Valley are “benevolent doctors”. There are also other medical sects that do not allow Baihua Valley to grow. They use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to covet the artifact, which eventually leads to the loss of the artifact.

To this day, Baihua Valley has the “Shennong Jue”, but no one has been able to practice it…

If the [Shennong Ding] appeared in the world, it could explain the current situation. For example, using the Shennong Ding to gather the power of the low-section calamus to achieve the medicinal effect of the ninth section, thereby turning waste into treasure and refining the [Nine-turn Resurrection Pill]!
But what is inconsistent is that the Shennong Ding could not have aided and abetted the evil, and its owner should not have been involved in any conspiracy.

But this group of people obviously have big plans, which is not right…

Zhao Wumian and Li Tianran were both confused about this.

Now it can only be explained as “good intentions leading to bad results”, and the details need to be investigated in detail.

“Put that aside for now.”

Zhao Wumian said: “If the news is confirmed, I can cooperate. What do you need me to do?”

Li Tianran said, “I don’t want to be their human pillar. You want to kill Guo Wuwei, Sima Quehun and their gang. You and I have the same goal, so we can keep in touch. In addition, I have a favor to ask of you, and I will tell you after you decide to cooperate. Don’t worry, it’s a piece of cake for you.”

Zhao Wumian thought that even if it was just a piece of cake, it would definitely be of great importance to him.

This kid is extremely talented and has the support of Tiangongtang and Yujinghui. The fact that he can do such a task is most likely related to the [Eight Diagrams] or [Huangshi Heavenly Book].

“Row.”

Zhao Wumian nodded: “Let me take a look at the situation first. Also, do you know why they want the Heavenly Book?”

Li Tianran shook his head: “I only know that it is related to the divine beast. I don’t know the details, and they didn’t tell me. This level of matter is not something I can get involved in now.”

It is true.

Zhao Wumian took a sip of tea.

Li Tianran took out a piece of information and a megaphone from his Qiankun bag.

Zhao Wumian put away the information, picked up the cup-shaped megaphone, and looked it up and down: “It’s a mechanical creation, and it seems to have the power of Gu worms. Is it using the method of mother-child Gu to transmit sound?”

“Great!”

Li Tianran looked at him with admiration: “It seems that you really got the inheritance of Gongshu. Many elders in the sect can’t understand this thing, but you can explain it in one word. [Megaphone], you drop blood on the bottom of the cup, and it will make the sub-gu feel it and achieve ‘Thousand Miles Sound Transmission’. When I have news to pass on to you, the sub-gu will speak, and you can also send a message to me to ensure strict confidentiality.”

“it is good.”

Zhao Wumian packed up his things, turned around and walked out of the room.

This time he walked out of the inn with a swagger, but no one paid any attention to him.

Turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

The visible seems invisible!
“really.”

Li Tianran was amazed in his heart: “His progress is really fast. In just two months, he has already figured out the skill of “Harmony with the Light and Dust”… I really don’t know whether to say that Guo Wuwei is arrogant or stupid! If you provoke this kind of person, and you can’t kill him in one go, then you are courting death!”

Li Tianran waved his sleeves to close the door, and a Yan armor flew out of his Qiankun bag.

It is a typical deity, with a green body, purple hair, an angry face, red armor, and a large precious wisdom knife in hand. It is nearly ten feet tall, and after flying out, it can only fold and shrink to seven feet in size to avoid breaking through the beams. It is a masterpiece of the divine craftsmanship of the monk “Sheng Gong”.

——Dhritarashtra, the Eastern Heavenly King.

Li Tianran asked, “Did you see it?”

Tiduo Luozha said in a muffled voice: “It should be the fourth realm.”

Li Tianran asked curiously: “Should?”

Titratara shook his head: “The Wisdom Eye cannot see clearly.”

Li Tianran was more and more surprised: “Even the Wisdom Eye left by the ancestors can’t see through his realm? What on earth is “Manifold”? It’s so mysterious!”

Tiduo Luozha said: “The wisdom eye can see everything visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, but if the skills are special, it is difficult to infer the true realm through the Dantian true qi. This person is only higher than the third realm and fifth level, but he can deceive the wisdom eye, at least the fourth realm, you should not make an enemy of him.”

“…”

Li Tianran opened his mouth, but finally found that he had no tricks to counter.

Zhao Wumian not only made rapid progress in realm, but also had two great artifacts to protect him. Now he could open the Eight Formations Diagram independently and use four magics, which was a step up from two months ago. Even if Guo Wuwei came again, it would be difficult to catch him. With the formation diagram [The Body Moves] and the heavenly book [Shrinking the Earth], it would be difficult to catch him!
Li Tianran sighed, “I never thought I would end up like this. I guess he sees me the same way I see Bu Xiaochen and Pei Zuozhi, both of us are trash.”

Titus Rotha comforted him: “You are still better than them.”

Li Tianran: “…”

……

Zhao Wumian walked out of the restaurant and headed towards Que Tower while looking at some information.

The stronghold given by Li Tianran was located in Tianlong Mountain, Taiyuan, and it was a sect called “Sanjue Palace”.

On the surface, this sect is the leader of the righteous path in Taiyuan, but in fact, it has already secretly defected to the Yujing Society.

To be precise, the person he took refuge with was the owner of Chongyang Tower of Yujing Society, Guo Wuwei!

The Yujing Society possesses the mysterious magic of “grafting” which can prolong life. Even if one becomes half human, half beast, neither human nor ghost, at least one is still alive and can enjoy all kinds of delicious food and beauties. Countless people will still flock to it.

For some people, they have trained hard for decades to stand out in the world, just to enjoy the feeling of being superior. It is impossible for them to be willing to die.

Even the monk Kūkai wanted to live forever, let alone others.

Although his purpose was not to enjoy, but to spread the Dharma.

The situation of Sanjue Palace is similar. Although the founder is of the right path, the disciples in the sect are not good. The previous head of Sanjue Palace, Shi Songshou, known as “The Sword of Dragon City”, conspired to kill his master to ascend to the throne. Before killing his master, he seduced his master’s wife, stole his master’s unique skills, and used the martial arts he learned secretly to lead various dramas that ruined his master’s reputation. Then he killed his own relatives for the sake of justice and ascended to the position of head.

No one else knows this secret.

People only know that he is a man of great righteousness, but no one knows his true face.

Shi Songshou is now nearly seventy years old and has retired from society. In fact, he has become the emperor of Sanjue Palace and sold all the secret realms of the palace to Guo Wuwei.

The secret realm is rich in magical medicines, 70% of which are offered as tribute. The new leader is just a puppet, and dares not speak out. He allows Shi Songshou to enjoy fine wine and beauties in the name of seclusion in the back mountain, practice dual cultivation evil skills, absorb yin and replenish yang, and keep his face young…

“Beast.”

Zhao Wumian clenched his fists as he watched.

Guo Wuwei is really not picky, he accepts all kinds of scum!
There is really no guilt in sucking people like this dry as food.

“What are the three unique skills?”

Shen Weiyang felt like he had seen the description before, so he turned to the second page and read the introduction carefully, then he saw three familiar names – “Sky Frost Fist”, “Paiyun Palm”, and “Wind God Leg”.

“puff!”

Zhao Wumian was immediately furious and looked carefully with his eyes wide open. In the column of sect’s unique skills it was clearly written: The founder of Sanjue Palace is old man Sanjue, who learned from Li Jing, the military god of the Sui and Tang dynasties. The sect has three unique skills: fist, palm and kick, as well as the famous skills created by Li Jing by integrating the three unique skills.

“Three-point Return to Origin Qi?!”

What the hell!

Zhao Wumian looked dazed. He imagined the God of War displaying the martial arts that made the Xiong Gang leader famous, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

The style of painting has changed!

The book records that Li Jing is a master of both martial arts and magic, and that he possesses five of the eight formations and can use magic, but Zhao Wumian really didn’t pay much attention to the fact that the military god’s martial arts was this…

But complaints are complaints.

“Three Points Return to Origin Qi” is indeed both offensive and defensive, domineering and powerful, at least it is upper earth grade!

According to the information, the so-called “Three Points” refers to the length of the Wind God Leg, the fierceness of the Paiyun Palm and the cold internal force of the Tianshuang Fist, while “Guiyuan” is the integration of these three internal forces with different properties into an incomparable “Three Points Guiyuan Qi”.

The three unique skills that Li Jing realized are different from the general Taoist and Zen Qigong training methods. There is no need to deliberately breathe in and out or meditate to train Qi. Instead, it is a unique way to practice internal strength from the outside to the inside, using dynamic exercises. Internal strength is cultivated through boxing, palm techniques, and leg techniques, training both inside and outside.

In this way, one can practice the Three Absolutes Qi from the outside to the inside, combine the three energies into one, transform them into the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi, and then release and strengthen the Three Absolutes moves from the inside to the outside. At the same time, when using the Three Absolutes martial arts, one can also strengthen and temper the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi. In this way, one forms a cycle from the outside to the inside and then from the inside to the outside.

In this way, one can achieve the state of endless creation and natural beauty, and promote the unity of heaven, earth and man.

This is the most interesting part of “Three Points Return to Origin”.

The energy it consumes is far less than ordinary internal energy. It can fight for a long time, has strong vitality, and is good at both offense and defense. It is invincible. The more Zhao Wumian watches it, the more novel he finds it.

It seems that I have to go to Taiyuan this time. First, I can drain Shi Songhe dry and improve my cultivation. By the way, I can cut off Guo Wuwei’s financial resources. Then I can investigate the drug dealers. Finally, I will go to this “Three-point Return to Yuanqi”…

“Interesting martial arts.”

Zhao Wumian has always been a man of swift and decisive character. Since he decided to intervene, he went to Wenhua Hall to meet Zhu Biao that day, formally asked for the job, and set off for Taiyuan, Shanxi to investigate.

Chang Mao supervised the construction of mechanical beasts at the Longjiang Shipyard, while Lan Yu was going to Liaodong to assist in the battle.

Nahachu’s frequent movements require the deployment of more personnel.

Lan Yu was very concerned about the [Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill]. After all, it was related to the injuries of the generals. Before Zhao Wumian left, he met with him specially and told him that he had an old friend in Taiyuan and could find him if he encountered any problems.

Zhao Wumian nodded, gave Shen Weiyang a few instructions as usual, and then asked Lou Yiren to pretend that he was in seclusion and practicing – although there were previous examples and few people would believe it, it was better to act than not to act.

The real body borrowed Chang Mao’s golden eagle and flew to the Taiyuan Ghost Market.
