Five Elements Heaven

The status of the Patriarchate in Ai Hui's mind immediately became high and mysterious. Such methods were definitely not available to ordinary organizations. Coupled with the [Chaos Energy] that can open up a new cultivation system, the strength and accumulation of the Patriarchate are surprisingly strong.

Money can make you rich overnight, but things like [Chaos Energy] and pasture require long-term investment and countless geniuses to devote their efforts. The manpower and material resources they consume are absolutely astronomical.

But I had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Patriarchate, and I was already so shocked.

He was still guessing that Cao Cao might have developed from the Message Tree, but it was undoubtedly much more advanced. Ai Hui's face had returned to calm: "Hello, what should I call you?"

Because of Lou Lan, Ai Hui knew very well how to communicate with the Sha Puppet. It's actually very simple, just say what you have to say, and if you have questions, just ask directly. Don't use modifications or euphemisms. The more direct the better.

"You can call me shopkeeper."

"Okay, shopkeeper." Ai Hui said politely, "Can you introduce this place to me? It's my first time here."

"Okay, swordsman." The shopkeeper nodded. With a wave of his right hand, the deep hall and the pillars behind him turned into black smoke and disappeared. The black smoke turned into a wall with wooden boards hung on it. The wooden board is filled with densely packed small characters, emitting different lights.

The shopkeeper then introduced: "This is the thatched cottage. All future tasks will be released from here. After joining the headquarters, it means that you will not be online, but will directly accept the management of the headquarters. The difficulty of the tasks will be related to your level. Directly related. Because of your special situation, you now have a mission to protect Kunlun. The rewards after completing the mission will also be received from here."

Ai Hui was shocked when he heard this: "Could this be real?"

"If you think this place is real, it is real." The shopkeeper said something quite Zen-like, and he continued: "We will give you a key, which is a specially processed earth element ring. You You can cast the earth element ring anywhere and get the rewards."

Ai Hui's heart moved: "Sand Compass?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "It's more complicated than the sand compass. To be precise, it's the sea urchin sand compass, a brand new secret method. Each sea urchin thorn is a separate earth element channel. So far, only we and the Presbyterian Church have mastered it. Learn this secret method."

"Is there also a Presbyterian Church?" Ai Hui opened his eyes wide. He felt that joining the Patriarchate Headquarters this time had completely subverted many of his ideas. In his mind, the Presbyterian Church was decayed and old, and its corpses were in ruins. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful thing.

"Yes." The shopkeeper did not say much about the Presbyterian Council, but instead said: "In the future, your consignment of trophies, or the purchase of weapons and inheritance can be completed in the thatched cottage."

The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the wall behind him turned into black smoke. Then, treasures emitting dazzling light slowly floated up from the black smoke. They looked so spectacular that Ai Hui almost drooled.

"There is also a secret skill." The shopkeeper waved his hand again, and there were light balls floating behind him, with faint shadows flickering inside. He continued: "For the same secret skill, the price of the Cottage is about 100% cheaper than that of the Presbyterian Church. Twenty-five, and the quality must be one level better. We also purchase Tianxun here, and the price we offer is much more reasonable than the market."

Ai Hui was stunned when he heard that he could actually buy the Presbyterian Church's secret knowledge at a cheaper price. He also bought Tianxun. He didn't know what to say.

"Of course, you can also purchase the Chaos Energy Cultivation Method. In addition, you can also purchase weapons from the Heavenly Armory. We also have a special collection of classics, which contains the experiences, notes, travel notes, etc. of our seniors. Most of them are free, and some require charges.”

Ai Hui heard the words "Books Academy" and quickly said, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course." The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the black smoke behind him turned into a majestic and simple bamboo building, with three powerful characters "Dianjiyuan" written on it.

Ai Hui breathed a sigh of relief, okay okay, there are still floors here, and his eyes fell on the seventh floor.

"Can I go in?" Ai Hui pointed at the Classics Courtyard.

"No problem." The shopkeeper nodded: "But I need to remind you that your Chaos Yuan Power can only allow you to stay in the thatched cottage for a quarter of an hour. If you want to last longer, please work hard to cultivate Chaos Yuan Power."

"Thank you for the reminder." Ai Hui greeted and walked towards the Classical Library.

Walking in front of the gate of the Bamboo House, Ai Hui suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the three words "Classics Courtyard" on the wooden plaque.

This word... looks a bit familiar...

Wait, did some word look familiar last time? He quickly remembered that it was "Kunlun" on the wooden plaque hanging at the gate of the Kunlun Sword Alliance.

He carefully looked at the three words "Dianji Yuan" and compared them with the two words "Kunlun" in his mind. It was indeed very similar.

Simple and vigorous, without holding back its edge, like a knife carving an axe, a murderous intention rushes towards you.

"Classic Courtyard" and "Kunlun" should be written by the same person, but why do I feel familiar? He must have seen it somewhere before, Ai Hui trusted his intuition very much. He racked his brains and finally figured out why these two fast wooden plaques felt familiar to him.

Bingfeng Dojo.

There was also a wooden plaque hanging at the entrance of Songjian Castle Bingfeng Dojo. It was covered with dust and cobwebs at the time. He cleaned it and hung it in the lobby. The four words "Bingfeng Dojo" on the wooden plaque gave him a very similar feeling to "Classics Academy" and "Kunlun", so he felt that he had seen it somewhere before.

Could it be that these three wooden plaques were made by the same person?

If so, that's really interesting.

The owner of Bingfeng Dojo, named Heng Bingfeng, has disappeared for many years. The first-generation message tree in the dojo can be connected to the old man. It is very likely that Heng Bingfeng is from the Patriarchate like the old man.

But if the wooden plaque in Kunlun was also made by Heng Bingfeng, that would mean two things.

First, Heng Bingfeng is not dead.

Second, Heng Bingfeng is still in the Patriarchal Association, or the connection between the two has not been interrupted. There is a deep connection between Kunlun and the Patriarchate, which is why the oiran asked him to protect Kunlun.

Ai Hui planned to ask the old man about Heng Bingfeng after he returned.

Many strange thoughts appeared in Ai Hui's mind.

Heng Bingfeng left Songjian City many years ago and disappeared without a trace, but he did not go back. But such an important message tree was left in the dojo without being taken away, and it was not taken back later, which was a bit strange.

Ai Hui also thought of Master Shao, who was very mysterious in his mind. The more he learned about Master Shao, the more powerful he became. Ai Hui had seen all the sand puppets, including the shopkeeper of the thatched cottage, but none of them were as powerful as Lou Lan. There is also the sand core [Midnight] that Loulan has not been able to exert its full power until now.

Master Shao lives next door to Bingfeng Dojo. Is it a coincidence? Or is there any connection between the two?

Ai Hui couldn't help but shake his head, as if the more he knew, the more doubts he had in his heart.

"I'm sorry, your chaos energy is almost exhausted, you will leave the thatched cottage. Goodbye, swordsman."

The shopkeeper's voice rang in Ai Hui's ears. Ai Hui came back to his senses. Before he could react, his eyes blurred and all the illusions disappeared.

The light of the pasture in front of him disappeared and he returned to his room.

It seems that the power of chaos is the foundation of the Patriarchate.

The amount of information today was really too much. Whether it was the unfathomable depth of the Patriarchate Council or Heng Bingfeng's speculation, Ai Hui was greatly impacted.

It took more than ten minutes for him to completely calm down. For Ai Hui, who had strong self-control ability, such a situation was very rare.

Putting all the distracting thoughts behind him, whether it was Kunlun or the Patriarch's Association, it actually had little to do with him. The Patriarchate is just a channel for him to collect information. Now that there is a thatched cottage, it is even more useful.

Finding that notebook as soon as possible is the most important thing now.

I guess the old man would be more interested in Heng Bingfeng's matter.

After his mind calmed down, Ai Hui opened the prototype of the inheritance given to him by Master Kunlun, and he soon became fascinated by it.

Master Kunlun's swordsmanship was very profound. Unlike Ai Hui's patchwork, she seemed to have studied it systematically. Ai Hui could see some of the techniques he had figured out on his own, such as oblique cuts and star stabs. There is also a move that is somewhat similar to [Crescent Moon], but it is much less powerful.

It also contains a lot of her understanding of swordsmanship, such as one specifically explaining the changes of yin and yang, which opened Ai Hui's eyes.

Ai Hui was fascinated by what he saw. This was the first time he had seen such a systematic explanation of swordsmanship in a classic.

Although it can still be seen as rough in many places, it has already taken a rough shape, which is really valuable in today's era when swordsmanship is declining.

Ai Hui read voraciously, intoxicated.

Some of the contents could be corroborated with what he had learned, but some of the contents had never occurred to him, causing him to fall into a long period of speculation. Seeing the subtleties, Ai Hui can't help but admire them. There was something he couldn't figure out, and he fell into trouble, frowning and mumbling something.

In order to be able to concentrate on his thoughts, he closed the door and thanked guests.

The entire Sword Alliance knew that Chu Chaoyang was looking through the new inheritance that had not yet been completed. Everyone was full of expectations to see what changes Chu Chaoyang could bring to this unfinished inheritance.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the closed door of the small courtyard.

Silver mist sea, hidden front tower.

In the light ball, Ba Lao's voice came out: "What do you think of this proposal?"

Bronze Ghost bowed slightly and said, "This is an opportunity to send some people secretly."

"Then send some people without identity."

Bronze Ghost said: "Yes, I'm afraid if I can't stop it, things will get worse."

"Whether they can be blocked or not is their business, it has nothing to do with you. Your mission is to ensure the safety of Silver City."

"Over there with the Great Elder..."

"Don't worry, the great elder is the great elder of Five Elements Heaven."

"My subordinate understands."
