Chapter 159 Golden Hammer Grandmaster
"Why hasn't he come out yet? How many days has it been?"

"Ten days... Although the breakthrough of the third level of the Mystical Gate is much safer than the previous two levels of life and death, once you get stuck in the spiritual inner scene and can't extricate yourself, there is also the danger of being trapped in it for the rest of your life."

Outside Chen Ku's house.

At this time, the four master chefs in Yaowang Hall had gathered: Yang Luchan, Shang Yunfang, Nong Baosen, and even Chai Bao. They came here to wait after work every day.

"Mom? My second uncle won't wake up, will he?" Hu Zi's face was full of tears, and he almost burst into tears: "I want my second uncle to wake up..."

at the same time.

In the spiritual mystery.

Chen Ku seemed to be completely immersed in a warm spiritual ocean. He felt as if he had returned to his mother's womb, constantly absorbing nutrients from the mysterious world.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he felt a swelling sensation even in his spirit.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes in the room.

Suddenly, the group of people standing around Chen Ku's house saw a flash of white light passing through the house.

“The room is glowing! This is the state that can only be achieved after receiving great spiritual gifts from the Xuanmen!” Yang Luchan blurted out: “This kid… is actually a one-in-a-million spiritual genius!”

There was a squeak.

Just after Yang Luchan finished speaking, the door of the house was opened from the inside by Chen Ku.

Chen Ku was slightly surprised to see so many people gathered outside, and hurriedly greeted them one by one: "Masters, you are all here... Have I been in seclusion for a long time?"

"Ten days!"

After Yang Lu finished speaking, she came to Chen Ku impatiently, flipped Chen Ku's eyelids with her two big hands, and asked:
"Tell me quickly, did you receive any spiritual gifts while in the inner scene of Xuanmen?"

"how to say……"

Chen Ku felt the current situation and said:
"After breaking through the Xuanmen, my spiritual power has indeed increased unprecedentedly, but, if we talk about gifts..."

Judging from the fact that there was an extra "eye" in Ma Mingfeng's mysterious gate.

He doesn't have any.

A large amount of spiritual power emerged from Xuanmen.

"No gift? How is that possible?"

Yang Luchan frowned and said:

"The moment you woke up just now, the room was lit up. This was obviously the moment you opened your eyes, your mental power turned into eye light and leaked out."

"No need to say more, Junior Brother Chen, why don't you try to apply your spirit to your eyes? Let me try it." Chai Bao didn't mind letting Chen Ku test it on himself.

Chen Ku hesitated for a moment.

"Well, I'm sorry to offend Master Chai."

After saying that, he tried to merge the spiritual power of the three masters on his body with the spiritual increase he got in Xuanmen, and according to Ma Mingfeng's spiritual witnessing technique, he looked at Chai Bao.

This glance.

Chai Bao suddenly felt that Chen Ku's eyes were as deep as the abyss of the sea, and more like a black hole, swallowing everything. In a trance, his mind was unconsciously trapped in it...

The next moment!
Chai Bao's body instinctively trembled on the spot, and he immediately came back to his senses. He was shocked and looked around and asked:
"How long have I been unconscious?"

"One moment!" Shang Yunfang took a deep breath and replied sternly.

"In a moment..."

Chai Bao looked at Chen Ku in disbelief:
"I have just entered the third level of Xuanguan, and the spiritual gift I received can make a person like me who is at the Tongmai level lose consciousness for a moment... Isn't this several times more powerful than the spiritual talent of Ma Mingfeng of the deceased Yulong Society!!"

Ma Mingfeng claims that he can influence the third-level jade muscle masters with the witnessing technique, but it is absolutely impossible for him to affect the fourth-level meridians.

A warrior practices cultivation, cultivating both his body and soul. The physical body is nourished and feeds back to his spirit. A warrior of the fourth realm possesses spiritual power equivalent to that of ghosts and gods of the fourth realm, but his spirit and flesh are united, so it will not show or be released externally.

“The peak of the second realm’s Xuanguan affects the fourth realm’s Tongmai… although it only lasts for a moment, but as long as the timing is right… with Chen Ku’s divine power and talent for stick fighting, can’t he launch a sneak attack on a fourth realm master?” Shang Yunfang instantly realized the advantage that Chen Ku’s spirit brought after his breakthrough.

"Never allow it!"

Yang Luchan immediately shouted:
"It was just a moment. It was nothing more than catching a momentary mistake of a fourth-level master. If you really think you can challenge a fourth-level master, then you are undoubtedly not taking your life seriously."

"good."

Chai Bao also immediately warned Chen Ku and said:

"Take me as an example. Although you affected my mind for a moment just now, you can't kill me instantly. The speed of internal energy reaction of a fourth-level meridian master is enough to avoid your attack. Of course, you can continue to try to affect me, but you need to remember one thing: I can make mistakes many times, but you only need to make one mistake when facing my counterattack, and you will die."

"Disciple, please bear this in mind. Of course, I will not take the risk of doing this."

Chen Ku immediately bowed.

He was very clear that the reason he had the mental power to influence the Fourth Realm Coach Chai Bao was not because his own mental power was so strong after his breakthrough.

Rather, it is based on his own strength after the breakthrough, coupled with the mental strength of Yan Longhao, Wang Mao and Ma Mingfeng, that he has such power!
With his own mental strength after the breakthrough, he could probably only resist Ma Mingfeng's witness and remain unaffected.

and also.

If one wants him to perform this witnessing technique when fighting with others, he needs to first remove the three transformations of the Flower Marten, the Centipede Viper, and the Fire Mouth Pot, and replace them with the three transformations of human spiritual masters.

“Even so, I only attached the Flowery Marten and the Centipede in the first two transformations to maintain my divine power. The third transformation was the Fire Mouth Pot, and I only attached Ma Mingfeng in the fourth transformation. I still have a spiritual power far beyond that of the same realm. I can’t say that I can continue to influence the four realms, but it is not difficult to achieve a power far beyond Ma Mingfeng’s previous witness power.”

Chen Ku estimated the power of what he had witnessed:
"Generally, those in the third level of Jade Muscle Realm cannot withstand it. I will seize the opportunity, take away their mind, and kill them with one blow of the stick."

…………

The news of Chen Ku's breakthrough was only spread among a few people in Yaowang Hall, and the outside world was completely unaware of it.

In the hall, Chen Ku had a meal in congratulations for him.

He also asked him whether the conflict among the three giants had escalated during his ten days of seclusion.

"No." Yang Luchan said.

"So harmonious?" Chen Ku was surprised. It had been almost a month since Ma Mingfeng's death, and the two families were so tolerant.

"Originally they should have been unable to hold back, but because of the news that came during your ten days of seclusion, they had no choice but to hold back..."

Yang Luchan smoked his pipe and said quietly:

"That Lord Tan Chongrui set out from Qiulong Mansion seven days ago and is expected to arrive in Baojiao County in the next two days. He is coming alone..."

"Golden Hammer Grandmaster Qin Yuxian?" Chen Ku blurted out, "The president of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association is coming too."

"It's not just Qin Yuxian."

After a moment of silence, Yang Luchan said:

"There is also a Wudutou Ye Zhong who leads an army of a thousand men."

"What? An army of a thousand people?" Chen Ku was shocked.

Shangguan Yun of Baojiao County has three hundred city guards, which is enough to undoubtedly suppress the three giants in the county.

When the reformist imperial envoy Tan Chongrui came to Baojiao County, he not only brought Qin Yuxian, the best master of the white way of Qiulong Mansion, as a bodyguard, but also brought an army of a thousand people.

As people on the streets, they had long heard that this imperial envoy came to reform the taxation system in Baojiao County and dig up the graves of the rich.

"Such a big fuss? Is it targeting all the rich people in Baojiao County?" Chen Ku was nervous and not nervous at the moment.

The reason for his nervousness was that he was in Yaowang Hall, which was the reform object of the imperial envoy. He could not leave Yaowang Hall and could not avoid conflicts. The reason for his lack of nervousness was very simple. He now had a fortune of more than 200,000 silver taels, 180,000 of which were in cash. Apart from that, he only had the small iron shop.

Compared with the big bosses of the gang, even if Tan Qingtian wanted to wield a knife, it would not hurt him at all.

"Is this why Chai Tiepu and Yulonghui have to restrain themselves?" Chen Ku guessed the reason.

"What else? The internal fighting among the three major gangs will expose a lot of loopholes to the imperial envoy who is going to implement the new policy..." Yang Luchan tapped his pipe on the sole of his shoe, his eyes dim, "But it's hard to say... Chai Tie Pu plans to take advantage of this opportunity and kill all of us with a big force."

Chen Ku was silent.

He had been informed of the inside story before.

The Chai Tiepu has been in cahoots with the county government and wants to clean up its act, become an official businessman, and serve the court. Now, if they can reach an agreement with the imperial envoy who is coming with experts and a large army,

Not to mention the Medicine King Hall alone, even if the Medicine King Hall, the Fish and Dragon Society and all the gangs were added together, they would not be enough to be crushed by Tan Qingtian.

"What about us?" Chen Ku asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Yang Luchan said, "When the imperial envoy arrives tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he won't need to tell anyone, as there will be people at the government office to welcome him. As people of the martial arts world, we can't neglect Grandmaster Qin Yuxian who is beside him. When the time comes... we can find out what he wants, and then we can make plans."

Finally, the master and the disciple chatted for a few more words.

Chen Ku walked out of the courtyard and asked if there was any news about Wu Gui in the past ten days.

The clerk in the front hall looked through the guests and said immediately, "Yes, yes... Young shopkeeper, Mr. Wu from the iron shop sent a 'Nine-faced Phantom Lion' and a 'Tiger-headed Salamander'. They are now being kept at the slaughterhouse. They are waiting for you to sign for them."

Chen Ku was slightly happy.

Nearly a month ago, he asked Wu Gui to help him place a bounty, but he didn't expect Wu Gui to be so efficient and actually got what he wanted.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the slaughterhouse and saw two demons.

The nine-faced phantom lion was locked in a cage, with a second-level demonic aura leaking out, blowing up the dust on the ground. As its head swayed and roared, several phantom heads would often appear around its neck, like double images, all roaring and raising their heads in the same way...

The tiger-headed salamander is kept in a large pool. It is as big as a shark, has four soft claws, and looks like Sha Seng in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

"Young Shopkeeper, these two demons are very expensive. Adding up, they cost at least 15,000 to 16,000 taels of silver. Are you going to make an elixir?"

Qin Sheng came over to say hello.

As an apprentice in the butchering department of Yaowang Hall, who was responsible for butchering demons every day, he was not surprised to see that some masters in the hall purchased demons and made their own pills.

"Medicine to strengthen the body..." Chen Ku smiled and said, "Bring me a knife."

"Do you want us to help you slaughter it?"

"No! I'll do it myself!"

After a stick of incense.

Chen Ku has returned to the house.

The Nine-Faced Phantom Lion and the Tiger-Headed Salamander were hung on the second and third variation diagrams respectively.

[Nine-faced phantom lion transformation! ]

[Nine-faced phantom lion, can transform into nine-faced body, has one billionth of the blood of the ancient fierce nine-spirit lion in its body]

[Nine-faced phantom lion transformation: shape-changing]

[Shape-changing part: Lion head (copper head and iron brain)]

Dangdang~
Chen Ku felt that in addition to the invulnerable armor that the centipede had absorbed from the spiral turtle, his own head had also become invulnerable. When he hit it, it felt like hitting a solid iron ball.

Now that’s great, I have learned the Iron Head Kung Fu without any instruction.

continue,

【Tiger-headed Salamander Transformation】

[Tiger-headed salamander, with a tiger head and a fish body on four legs, cries like a baby, and has one ten-millionth of the blood of the ancient alien species 'mermaid']

【Tiger-headed salamander·Change shape】

[Shape-changing part: Salamander skin (water flow sensing)]

Water flow sensing sounds like some kind of ability to sense the direction of water flow and find prey.

Compared with the water-based transformation that the Centipede has already undergone, this ability to change shape is somewhat useless.

But it doesn’t matter, it was originally used by Chen Ku as a component for “transforming into a dragon”.

"I still have fifty-eight second-level evil spirits. I can first upgrade the Nine-Faced Illusion Lion to the transformation level..."

If he wants to transform into a viper dragon of the highest quality in the third realm of transformation, it would be best if each transformation has a level of transformation to increase the success rate. Otherwise, his only one strand of national dragon energy would be wasted.

[Consuming forty-five second-level evil spirits, the Nine-Faced Illusion Lion has reached the level of transformation]

[Nine-faced phantom lion transformation]

[Abilities: Nine-faced Illusion Technique, Brain (Head of Copper and Iron), Mouth (Lion's Roar), Hair (Hair as Sharp as Swords)...]

Chen Ku looked at the abilities of the nine-faced phantom lion.

The body moved.

Suddenly, nine phantoms appeared in his room, just like nine people reflected by a mirror. Whatever he did, these nine shadows would do the same.

At the same time, the evil spirit in the body is being consumed.

Obviously, this is also a magic like the Hundred Miles Tracking Technique.

"Good form!"

If you hit them with a stick like this, it would be like ten people attacking together. It would be impossible to tell their true identity, and they would be killed with one stick.

Simultaneously,

Chen Ku gently plucked out a hair, flicked his finger, and the hair shot out like a sharp sword and nailed to the door panel.

"Not bad, not bad. These abilities are very useful. I'm sure they will remain even after I become a Viper Dragon."

Chen Ku called out the spotted fox and the greyhound and said:
"This time, you two go out at the same time. The Greyhound goes to find the Nine-Colored Deer, and the Flowery Marten goes to Yuan Country to bring back enough evil spirits for me to practice the five transformations of dragon into human form."

It was after Chen Ku secretly released the marten and the greyhound at night.

time,

Come daytime.

In a pavilion leading from Qiulong Mansion to Baojiao County, there was a middle-aged man in official uniform with fairy birds and flying cranes embroidered on his robe. He had fair skin but frosted temples, and his eyes reflected the outline of Baojiao County thirty miles outside the pavilion.

He said slowly:

"Brother Qin, Baojiao County is thirty miles ahead. Let's go."

Under this voice.

A middle-aged man two meters tall, with a face as white as gold paper and skin as white as bronze, walked out of the pavilion. He had a full forehead and a majestic and heroic aura. When he opened his mouth, his heroic aura was overwhelming:

"it is good."

The Grandmaster of the Golden Hammer, Qin Yuxian.
