The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 68
Including Da Huan Dan, various poisons, and antidote, all of which are included.

The formula of Da Huan Dan is simple and rude, using five kinds of herbal medicines with the most yang nature and five kinds of herbs with the most yin nature.

However, the ten kinds of herbs are all more than a hundred years old, so they are extremely precious and can be said to be non-renewable resources.

Xu Zhengping could only let the Nanshan Gang use various means to spend a lot of money to auction the collection, but it still took time.

If you don't use hundred-year-level herbal medicine, if you use 50-year-level herbal medicine, the medicinal properties will be reduced by half.

There are also relatively cheap ten-year-level herbal medicines, which are basically ordinary tonics, and the medicinal effects only work on external functions.

It was impossible for Xu Zhengping to wait any longer. He still had to go out to sea. Based on the clues he had learned from Jiang Biehe, he would go through the sea route first and decide which islands to explore.

Xu Zhengping got a lot of sea charts to and from Japan from some merchants running the sea trade through the relationship of Nanshan Gang, and he is currently researching which islands are on this route.

However, due to the inaccuracy of nautical charts and the different routes taken by different maritime merchants, even if the same island is seen, there will be contradictions in the location marked on the map.

Xu Zhengping couldn't figure it out by himself, so he could only find someone to help him judge. At present, Yue Buqun is the only one who can be called a think tank by his side.

Therefore, he often discussed the real location of these islands with Yue Buqun, and Yue Buqun, who was well-read, did give a lot of opinions.

In the end, Xu Zhengping highlighted the four islands on the East China Sea with complex terrains that might contain cheat books, and set them as the target of this expedition.

Then he bought a sea-going ship, hired the captain and sailors, and prepared to set off from Ningbo Port.

Of course, he couldn't go alone on this journey. He brought along such a master as Lei Zong, asked Yue Buqun to borrow his first disciple Linghu Chong, and finally brought along Lin Pingzhi who had always lived in seclusion.

In the past few months, Linghu Chong's strength has grown rapidly. Although he has lost all his internal strength before, his meridians have already been penetrated.

Coupled with what he saw and heard in the Yaowang Temple, and deeply felt the disaster brought about by the Songshan School, he studied hard. Although his internal strength has not recovered to the previous state, it is still enough to support him in a high-intensity battle. fighting.

With Dugu Nine Swords, even if Yue Buqun faced him, he would still be invincible, even if he used the Zixia Divine Art, it would only be a tie. If he continued to fight for a long time, the possibility of defeat was still very high.

This is the power of the Dugu Nine Swords created by the Sword Demon. Yue Buqun often asked Linghu Chong how to practice his sword skills.

But Dugu Qiubai didn't prohibit Linghu Chong from passing it on to others, so Linghu Chong also tried to tell Yue Buqun the secrets of swordsmanship, but unfortunately due to his limited aptitude, Yue Buqun couldn't master this kind of martial arts with a heavy emphasis on comprehension.

Xu Zhengping once peeped in the dark and learned the two moves of breaking the sword, that's all, his comprehension is not so high, he can't learn such martial arts.

It can only be regarded as the essence of martial arts and integrated into one's own martial arts system, so that there are fewer loopholes in the sword technique.

The other person, Lin Pingzhi, originally dealt with Jiang Biehe last time, Xu Zhengping had arranged for him to go to the home of Jiang Biehe's subordinates for assassination control.

As a result, he didn't need this back move at all, Lin Pingzhi deeply regretted it, but since this period of time, his evil sword technique has become more refined.

He even disguised himself as a man in black and attacked Linghu Chong secretly. At the beginning of the fight, Linghu Chong was not used to this kind of fast and weird sword moves, so he suffered a lot.

Lin Pingzhi was very proud of it, and felt that if he could defeat Linghu Chong, he would surely be able to defeat Yue Buqun, and he could even fight Xu Zhengping, so he went to Xu Zhengping to compete.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengping was defeated by Xu Zhengping's strong internal strength and weird sword skills, and was reprimanded by Xu Zhengping, telling him that if he went to attack Linghu Chong again, it might not be as easy as last time.

Lin Pingzhi refused to accept it, so he really looked for another opportunity to go to Linghu Chong to try his sword. As a result, this time Linghu Chong absorbed the lesson from last time, and did not fall into a panic because of the opponent's weird and unpredictable body skills and extremely fast sword skills.

He calmly responded with the broken sword style of Dugu Nine Swords. At the beginning of the stalemate, he gradually became stronger and stronger. After seeing through the various flaws in the evil sword technique, he completely gained the upper hand.

Although Lin Pingzhi escaped by relying on lightness skills, he also felt a great setback because of this, instead he became less impetuous and could concentrate on practicing sword.

From time to time, he quietly attacked Linghu Chong to verify his sword skills. Linghu Chong also had a tacit understanding with him. Although he didn't know who the person who attacked him was, the other party didn't reveal his killing intent, so he didn't tell his master about it.

The mysterious person Lin Pingzhi is only treated as a friend who likes to practice swords, and the two parties will become stronger and stronger under this kind of healthy competition, and their strength will increase very quickly, and each will gain something.

On this day, Xu Zhengping took the three of them and set off for Ningbo Port.

Riding on the road, Linghu Chong glanced suspiciously at the handsome man in the team with a long beard who liked to wear red clothes from time to time. He always felt that the other party was very familiar to him.

The man in red was naturally Lin Pingzhi, who turned a blind eye to Linghu Chong's gaze and greeting, and was extremely arrogant and ignored anyone, only listening to Xu Zhengping's words.

As for Ben Lei Grenade Zong, the role he plays is more similar to that of Drifting Monk. He is diligent and hardworking, and takes care of chores in the team.

And because of his rich experience in the rivers and lakes, the arrangements for various affairs along the way were appropriate, and all four of them respected him very much.

When he arrived at Ningbo Port, people from the Nanshan Gang had come to receive him. He had been looking for a long time before he found this sailboat that sailed from the Western Regions tens of thousands of miles away.

The owner of the ship was a perverted man, and died of a serious illness in Middle-earth. The chief mate and other sailors had internal conflicts. A fire broke out, causing heavy casualties. The survivors were unable to drive the ship back home.

He simply thought about selling the ship and settling down in Middle-earth on the spot.

When the Nanshan Gang bought it, it cost 600 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the price of a lucky ship in the Ming Dynasty.

This is a big ship with three masts and soft sails, which is more conducive to ocean sailing, and the number of passengers carried is 150.

Xu Zhengping dispatched thirty elites from the gang, and they had already been waiting here, and the remaining seventy or so were experienced sailors recruited from various channels.

This voyage was not far away, so there was no need to be fully prepared, and Xu Zhengping didn't plan to do business, so he tried to store food and fresh water at the bottom of the cabin.

The boss of the ship invited said that the sea is not peaceful now, and Japanese pirates often rob, so by bribing the local government and the yamen of various administrative units, the big ship was equipped with twelve artillery pieces, sufficient shells, gunpowder, paper armor, bows, arrows, and swords. Wait, this is ready to set off on another day.

All of the above were seen by Lian Xing who had been following Xu Zhengping.

She was very surprised about Xu Zhengping's purpose of going to sea this time, because her sister Yaoyue had arranged for her to subdue Xu Zhengping.

But Lianxing has never thought of a proper method, and in the end he could only plan to surrender by force and control with poison.

However, Xu Zhengping had been living in Yuhang County before, and the strength of the Nanshan Gang was unprecedentedly strong, and it was still expanding.

If they attack inside the city, Lian Xing is not sure to subdue Xu Zhengping before the reinforcements arrive, after all there are Lei Zong, He Wu, Yue Buqun, Mo Da and other masters living with him in the mansion.

Although these people are not her opponents together, they are enough to drag the Nanshan gang to come.

The Nanshan Gang has a large number of people, even if Lian Xing has innate strength, it is impossible to defeat the crowd with a few.

It is impossible for a warrior to defeat an enemy army if his strength is not enough to shatter the void.

So she waited until Xu Zhengping came to Ningbo and planned to go to sea before she decided to make a move.

Since Xu Zhengping is about to lead the group to sail to sea early tomorrow morning, Lian Xing must start to do it tonight.
