Start from the Martial Arts

"My lord, I have another unkind request, and I hope your lord will accept it."

Fang Xiu waited until Zhao Siyu stopped smiling and spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Siyu asked.

"Whether the news about this matter can be sealed from the outside world, let's just say that Qianmianlang disguised himself to rescue Ying Tianqi, but you exposed it on the spot and killed the two of them." Fang Xiu said seriously.

"Oh?" Zhao Siyu was surprised.

"In this case, all the credit will go to me alone. What? Are you afraid that the Immortality Cult will retaliate against you later?"

"Sir, you are indeed very discerning." Fang Xiu said with a cupped hand, "This subordinate does not have your strength and background, and just wants to live a stable life."

"You kid, why do you have to belittle yourself? You have become a martial artist at a young age, and with such a mind, you might become a great martial artist in the future." Zhao Siyu said with a smile.

"Did you know that the reward of the Thousand-faced Man is eight thousand taels!"

"This money will not be enjoyed by me, so it will naturally belong to you." Fang Xiu said respectfully.

"You kid, you look down on me!" Zhao Siyu laughed and scolded.

"Although these eight thousand taels of silver are not a small amount to me, I won't be able to compete with a junior like you."

"There's no reason why you should bear the risk without benefiting from it. You must accept this money." Fang Xiu said quickly.

How could he take Zhao Siyu's words seriously?

He even remembered to report the money spent on the wine purchased from Chunfeng Niang. Apparently, he often used this to make money.

What's more, he himself said just now that eight thousand taels is not a small amount to him.

"Okay, okay! Leave this matter to me." Zhao Siyu waved his hand.

"Then thank you, sir." Seeing that Zhao Siyu was serious, Fang Xiu stopped talking.

"Well, you go ahead."

Zhao Sijiao nodded.

"Yes, I'm going to retire." Fang Xiu and Ma Sandao retreated together.

After leaving the room, Ma Sandao breathed a sigh of relief, "It was really dangerous today."

"Yes." Fang Xiu responded.

Sometimes, luck is also part of strength.

"Thanks to Uncle Ma today, please accept my nephew's respect." Fang Xiu bowed.

"Huh? What are you doing, nephew? Your father and I are close friends of life and death, so why should such a trivial matter matter?" Ma Sandao reached out to help him.

"My dear nephew, although your injury is not serious, it would be better to go to the hospital and take some rest."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ma. I'll go to the hospital right now." Fang Xiu said, cupping his fists.

After saying goodbye to Masandao, he went to Tianxingfang in the outer city and returned to the small house he rented.

It was only at this moment that Fang Xiu completely digested the true energy of Ying Tianqi and Qianmianlang.

The two of them combined provided him with thirteen years of skill.

His current skill is as high as fifty-three years!

The key is that internal strength will be able to exert its true power after fifty years.

From now on, it will no longer be weaker than the external skills of the same level.

Longevity, toxin resistance, recovery speed, endurance, stamina...

With profound internal strength, all aspects will be improved.

Not only that, he also absorbed a small part of Ying Tianqi's strength.

Although compared to the true energy, there was very little remaining energy, but it allowed him to learn the secret of combining the three skills into one.

"Let me see what the hell the Immortality Cult is doing."

After returning to the room, Fang Xiu had time to check Qianmianlang and Ying Tianqi's revolving door.

He calmed down and his consciousness first merged into the white light group left by Qianmian Lang.

Soon, the revolving door ended.

【......】

[Borrow the talent ‘Body Shape Changing’]

Fang Xiu nodded secretly, the matter was similar to what he had guessed.

However, Qianmianlang rescued Ying Tianqi because he was ordered by the Jinlei Holy Envoy, one of the four great envoys of the Immortality Sect, to take him back to question him.

It seems to be because Ying Tianqi leaked a lot of confidential information about the Immortality Sect.

As a result, the strongholds of the Immortality Sect were wiped out one after another.

"Why did Ying Tianqi leak the secret? Is it because of Master Li?"

Fang Xiu was thoughtful.

There must be something going on here.

Otherwise, Ying Tianqi should have confessed long ago.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu integrated his consciousness into the blue light group left by Ying Tianqi.

The revolving door begins.

【......】

[In the fifty-fourth year of Taihe, something happened to the Jiuyou Island main altar of the Changsheng Sect located in the center of Yunmeng Lake. 】

[In the lake near Jiuyou Island, many treasure fish have undergone mutations. Some have grown scales as strong as gold and iron, some have grown baby hands and feet, and some even have rotten and smelly heads, but they still remain the same. Ability to move freely. 】

[Most of these strange fish have extremely corrosive and poisonous liquids in their bodies. Only martial artists with deep strength and internal strength can barely resist it. Ordinary warriors will die if they touch it. 】

[The Changsheng Sect sent out eighteen of the thirty-six Tiangang protectors to investigate the situation near Jiuyou Island. 】

[Ying Tianqi was sent to Tianyun Water Village and on his way back, he found a golden-winged sturgeon that was one foot long. He was overjoyed and entered the water to pursue it. 】

[Unexpectedly, a sharp claw grew out of the golden-winged sturgeon's dorsal fin. 】

[Caught off guard, Ying Tianqi was almost stabbed through the heart with a claw. As a result, he was poisoned and his energy and blood were severely damaged. 】

[In the fifty-fifth year of Taihe, a volcano erupted on Jiuyou Island, the earth shook, and all kinds of strange fish gathered towards Jiuyou Island. 】

[The people of the Immortality Sect fled in all directions, and Jiuyou Island fell into pieces after an earth-shattering explosion. 】

【After this battle, due to the loss of Jiuyou Island, a paradise on earth, some moderates in the Changsheng Sect also changed their positions and decided to overthrow the corrupt rule of Emperor Taihe together with the radicals. 】

【After a year of recuperation, Ying Tianqi recovered from his injuries and followed two of the four great saints to enter Tianze Prefecture and lurk in Jiulian County. The other two saints were nowhere to be found. 】

【Ying Tianqi was ordered to lead the Changsheng Sect to attack Yixing Town north of Qingshi County, but was besieged by many martial artists. 】

【Ying Tianqi fought one against four with ease, but just when he was about to kill the four, Li Feixiong attacked. Ying Tianqi's old injury relapsed and he was captured alive by Li Feixiong. He was escorted to the government prison by the police. 】

【After being imprisoned, Ying Tianqi gritted his teeth and said nothing. 】

【Until Li Feixiong arrived and the two had a conversation, Ying Tianqi thought he had been abandoned by the Changsheng Sect and became an abandoned child. So he revealed many secrets of the Changsheng Sect to Li Feixiong, including some of his guesses and traps. 】

[......]

[Borrowing the fate of ‘accumulation over time’]

“How could a strange fish suddenly appear in the depths of Yunmeng Lake…”

After watching Ying Tianqi’s revolving lantern, Fang Xiu’s face was extremely solemn.

No wonder he found something wrong when he was fishing last year. It turned out that there was a problem in the center of Yunmeng Lake.

Some people in the Changsheng Sect did not want to make trouble.

It’s just that their home was suddenly gone, and they had to rebel.

“This time, the world is really going to be in chaos…”

Fang Xiu frowned.

According to Ying Tianqi’s vague memory, the four great saints of the Changsheng Sect were all top masters.

The weakest one, whose external skills were also at the level of a dark force master, had an internal skill of more than fifty years.

The strongest Jinlei Saint Envoy, whose external skills were dark force, had an internal skill of more than eighty years, could be called the contemporary number one in the Changsheng Sect.

The reason why we say contemporary is that there are still several previous generation of Saint Envoys of Changsheng Sect who are still alive.

The previous generation of Qinglian Saint Envoys who are in power in Changsheng Sect now have a skill of more than two hundred years and are preparing to impact the Xiantian Grandmaster.

"The Great Yan court should also have a Grandmaster..."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

There are tall people to support the sky when it falls.

Besides, the Grandmaster level is not so easy to break through.

Otherwise, Changsheng Sect would not have no Grandmaster for so many years.

"If the skills of these masters of Changsheng Sect can be sucked dry..."

Fang Xiu's eyes were eager.

With the chaos of Changsheng Sect, the court would definitely not ignore it, and the local noble families would not agree.

Tianze Prefecture is the richest prefecture among the thirteen prefectures of Yan State, and it cannot be lost.

Fang Xiu only needs to wait patiently in the prefecture city. I am afraid that there will be more masters of Changsheng Sect caught and sent to the prison.

Let the court and the noble families deal with Changsheng Sect, and he will reap the fruits of victory in secret.

Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect his job as a jailer.

When facing a master at the level of a great martial artist, any force will only try to win him over. Unless it is a life-and-death relationship, no one is willing to offend a great martial artist.

"Next, just wait slowly."

Fang Xiu came back to his senses.

[Master: Fang Xiu (first level)]

[Interval between talent fate replacement: forty-five days]

[Limit of talent fate storage: 9/8]

[The current number of fates exceeds the upper limit, please consume or give up a talent fate, or be promoted to the second-level master to increase the upper limit of talent fate storage, otherwise you will lose a talent fate randomly. ]

"Let me see what effect these two fates have..."

Fang Xiu first integrated Qianmianlang's white fate into the third page of the Book of Destiny.

As a burst of white light appeared, lines of text appeared on it.

[Borrower of Life: Qianmianlang (Shangguan Yu)]

[Talent: Changeable Body Shape]

[Rank: White · First Rank]

[Effect: Your tendons and bones will become more resilient and have strong plasticity. Shrinking bones and disguising yourself will be as easy for you as eating and drinking. However, frequent use of the technique of shrinking bones and disguising yourself will damage your potential and increase the difficulty of breaking through the bone barrier. ]

"This..." Fang Xiu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the reason why Qianmianlang had such a strong disguise technique was because of his talent.

If Fang Xiu's skills had not exceeded fifty years, this talent would still be useful to him.

Now it seems very useless.

Now, even if he confronts a great martial artist head-on, he still has the strength to fight, and he doesn't need to disguise himself and sneak attack.

Moreover, the speed of activating the dark energy of a great martial artist is extremely fast. Qianmianlang has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and he has never seen him kill a great martial artist.

With this thought, Fang Xiu silently said in his heart:

"Book of Destiny, I choose to give up the talent [Changeable Body Shape]"
