Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 416 Ninth level palm soldier, Tongyou

In the past two years, the blacksmith shop has established a firm foothold in Daocheng. After several expansions, it now has more than 230 blacksmiths and 1,500 apprentices.

It's certainly not as good as those time-honored brands in the city, but its business is even better.

When Li Yuan came, there were many customers buying weapons. Seeing him coming, Liu Zheng whispered to those customers and hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Business is good?"

Li Yuan took a glance and saw that the shop was mostly filled with sharp weapons. The only two famous ones were left by him in the town shop. Compared with those in the city, their heritage was much worse.

"More than good?"

Taking out a booklet from his arms, Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "I can't eat it, I really can't eat it."

Li Yuan flipped through it, and what was recorded in the booklet was at least a list of the best sharp blades, ranging from two or three to six or seven, and there were even many famous weapons.

"The big families in the city, such as the Liu family, the Yu family, and the Wang family, have also placed a lot of orders."

Liu Zheng explained.

"If you take a normal order, just take it. Don't worry about unnecessary things."

Li Yuan naturally understood the thoughts of these families. Since he joined the sect, countless families and small sects in and outside the city have invited him to banquets in various ways.

If he was in Zhelong Mansion or Dechang Mansion, he would naturally not refuse anyone who came, make friends with each family, earn money, and expand his property.

But now it doesn't work anymore.

As a quasi-true disciple of Longhu Temple and a quasi-taoist disciple of Dalongmen, he is now qualified to be a backer. Because of this, he has to be careful about being pulled into a tiger's skin and do mischief.

"I see."

Liu Zheng nodded. His talent in martial arts is not high, but his business skills have improved greatly over the years.

The two of them talked and went to the backyard. After talking for a while, Li Yuan put down his account book and entered the warehouse alone.

"Five thousand catties of gold and three thousand taels of red gold."

In the past, before he was promoted, the gold, silver and iron materials were piled high in the palm of the army, but now, there is only such a small pile. Li Yuan glanced at it and counted it all.

Two and a half tons of gold is really not that big, and three hundred kilograms of red gold seems even smaller.

"My money."

As usual, he put away the bottles and jars containing animal blood. Before he was promoted to Zhang Wengui, Li Daoye had already begun to feel heartache.

It was only in this life. In his previous life, he had never seen gold weighing less than a ton, let alone a kilogram.

"Promotion!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan stretched out his right hand, and saw a flash of light, and all the gold materials disappeared.

"Walk!"

Almost at the same time, Li Yuan fell to the ground, his body shook, and before the loud explosion, he jumped up and his soul left his body.

Boom!

Even in the state of being separated from the body, Li Yuan heard the roar, as if the sound really came from the depths of his soul. In just one moment, he felt like he was shaken to pieces.

He was in a daze for a while, and then he came over, only to see that his body sitting cross-legged on the ground was bleeding from all its orifices, and he was lying on his back, completely shaken.

"Too fierce!"

Li Yuan was still frightened, and when he was sure that the loud noise disappeared, he returned to his physical body. The next moment, severe pain surged over him like a tide.

This loud noise was much stronger than the previous ones, and he felt his eyes go black, as if someone had smashed his head into a pulp.

Fortunately, the power of the Dragon and Tiger Pill spread in time, and the injury healed quickly.

"call!"

After sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath for a long time, Li Yuan finally took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and closed his eyes.

[Ninth level weapon master: Li Yuan]

[Number of weapons that can be controlled: nine]

[Already opened: Divine Fire Combination Furnace (ninth level), Divine Fire Weapon Forging Platform (ninth level), and the Corridor (already opened)]

Buzz~

Li Yuan looked around. The weapons in his hands hung like a galaxy, with nine big stars reflecting each other.

Just like the previous promotions, the gray stone platform expanded exponentially and appeared extremely empty, and the combined weapons furnace and the weapon forging platform were no longer on the edge.

On the contrary, the long corridor leading to the seclusion is still on the edge.

"Could that loud noise come from this corridor?"

Li Yuan sensed his surroundings and his eyes fell on the long corridor leading to the seclusion. Without hesitation, he took off the sea-splitting black whale hammer and walked towards the long corridor.

Behind the arch, there was still darkness, but it was different from the pure and colorless darkness before. This time, he could barely see something.

The black road under the corridor is vaguely visible.

"Does this count as being turned on?"

Li Yuan carefully touched the corridor. Immediately, he heard a 'buzz' sound and a large piece of light and shadow flashed past his eyes.

Then, fragmented information flooded into my mind.

[Secret realm is everywhere]

【Secret realm, everything is there】

[Secret realm, only certain people or... can enter]

[Only the fire of the heart can illuminate the dark world]

Then,

"No more?"

Li Yuan frowned.

This is less information and more incomplete than the information obtained when the Weapon Combination Furnace and Weapon Forging Platform are opened. It doesn't even mention how to use it or what its use is.

"Everywhere, everything, and only certain people can enter?"

Li Yuan glanced at the Sea-Splitting Xuan Whale Hammer. Is the master of the Tianyun Xuan Weapon a specific person?

He leaned closer to the arch and felt attentively. The darkness was much darker than before the corridor opened, but he could only see the path two steps ahead of him. Beyond that, there was darkness again.

"this……"

As Li Yuan thought, the incompetent weapon fell into the corridor, and the next moment, it disappeared into thin air under his gaze.

Like a drop of water seeping into the ground.

"So weird?"

Li Yuan frowned inwardly, who dares to enter?

He tried throwing a few more inferior weapons in. He was so focused that he couldn't see how they disappeared.

This made him a little scared.

Next, he tried a variety of items, including copper plates, broken silver, and broken bone ornaments. After various attempts, he found that only a wisp of incense did not disappear immediately after entering the corridor.

But after flashing several times, it goes out.

"The fire of the mind refers to the incense?"

Li Yuan's mind became active, and he immediately took several strands of incense of different grades and threw them in together with various weapons and items.

Buzz~

The moment the incense entered the corridor, it lit up, and under its light, the weapons and items were safe and sound, but when the incense went out, they disappeared out of thin air again.

"If you want to walk this long corridor, you also need incense?"

After several attempts, Li Yuan came to the conclusion that walking in this corridor, or in the secluded territory, requires incense, and a lot of incense.

The incense that has not entered the first level can only last for three or four seconds. The first level is slightly better, only half a minute, and the second level only lasts for more than a minute.

"How much incense will you get from this trip?"

Looking at the depths of the dark corridor, Li Yuan immediately stopped exploring. The incense could not be wasted like this.

Furthermore, he knew too little about this secluded realm, and he felt a little wary.

"The Black Whale Hammer Master can travel in the Nether Realm, but what about the other Mysterious Weapon Masters? If they can, then Longyin and Chunyang Patriarchs should have also entered, right?"

Li Yuan thought in his mind that he would not dare to enter such a strange place until he knew it clearly.

"You should never put yourself at risk..."

Taking a long breath, Li Yuan opened his eyes, shook off the dust on his body, and pushed open the warehouse door.

…

…

"It's snowing so heavily!"

Upstairs at the banquet, Pei Xingkong opened the window and saw heavy snow blowing in the wind. The whole city was white, and the Longhu Mountains in the distance were also white.

"Senior Brother Pei, today is the Longhu Temple sect's assessment. Master Long has sent someone to invite our uncle and the others to watch the ceremony. Let's go too."

A handsome young man opened the door and walked in.

"Watch the ceremony?"

Pei Xingkong was slightly startled: "Is the sect's assessment also worthy of watching the ceremony?"

"Not only the sect's assessment, but also Zen Master Fulong's apprenticeship ceremony."

The young man said.

"Li Yuan?"

Pei Xingkong came back to his senses: "Isn't he the real successor?"

"This person has just started his career, and Zen Master Fulong has been seriously injured for many years, so he must have been delayed a bit, right?"

The young man took out a brand new "List of Heroes of All Paths" from his arms:

"I heard that Yun Shulou has already ranked him tenth among the younger generation of all Taoists before he has even refined his marrow."

"He can kill Yan Chunyang, so there is no problem in ranking in the top ten. If he hadn't refined his marrow, he would probably be ranked more than tenth."

Pei Xingkong waved his hand, and the long sword in the corner fell into his palm with a gentle cry. Li Yuan's reputation was great, and he had heard about it more than once on the road.

"I heard that there are top-notch magic weapons to help..."

The young man shook his head.

His name is Jia Zhengxing, a true disciple of Yiqi Villa, second only to Pei Xingkong among contemporary people.

"Without the help of divine soldiers, he would have to be number one."

Pei Xingkong shook his head heartily and stepped out:

"Let's go and see this talented dragon and tiger."

The disciples of Yigan Yiqi Villa followed suit.

There was a heavy wind and snow, and the streets were deserted, but when we arrived at the gate of Longhu Temple, it became lively again.

"People from Samadhi Cave and Changhong Sword Sect are also here."

Jia Zhengxing said softly.

At this time, the wind and snow were not light, but there were many people in front of the gate of Longhu Temple. In addition to Samadhi Cave and Changhong Sword Sect, there were also many sects from other Daozhou.

He glanced around and recognized many people.

Zhongli Luan, Yan Jiugong, Chu Tianzhu, Xie Tongzhi, Pei Jiu, etc...

"The people from Qinglong Pavilion are here too."

Pei Xingkong seemed to feel something, and looked back, only to see a group of people coming quickly from the other end of the long street. Through the wind and snow, he saw Shi Qingyi at a glance.

"Shi Qingyi."

Jia Zhengxing's eyes lit up.

She was an extremely outstanding woman, with a tall and straight figure. She was dressed in a green shirt and wore nothing but a spear. She looked quite dashing as she crossed the line.

But it was none other than the contemporary Taoist disciple of Qinglong Pavilion, Shi Qingyi.

There was some commotion in front of the archway, and people from other houses also looked at the Qinglong Pavilion group. As the only woman among the Five Daozi, Shi Qingyi's reputation was actually very great.

"Master Nie, Brother Tianying."

Zhong Liluan held his hands from afar. What he noticed was Nie Xianshan and Tian Yingzi, the deputy master of Qinglong Pavilion, who were chatting happily in front of the crowd.

"Brother Zhong, long time no see."

Tian Yingzi is a heroic middle-aged man, dressed in a large golden robe, who greeted him from a distance: "Brother Xie is here too?"

"Brother Tianying."

Xie Tongzhi returned the gift with his hand.

Nie Xianshan looked around for a moment and his eyes fell on Pei Xingkong: "Where are your elders?"

"Go back to Sect Leader Nie. Master, he is still on the way."

Pei Xingkong cupped his hands and responded: "Uncle Yuan has gone to the mountain to observe the ceremony at the invitation of Taoist Master Long."
