The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 248 Purpose (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
"I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, sir!"

A group of Taiping captains and Taiping commanders rushed over, and after seeing the situation on the scene, they all gasped.

Only after they saw Su Mu standing there safe and sound did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Search within a five-mile radius from this place!"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Taishi Tianbi escaped with serious injuries. Now is his weakest time. It would be best if we could find him.

Although Su Mu didn't hold much hope in his heart, he still gave the order.

Everyone responded in unison and then took action.

Su Mu sat down slowly and let out a long breath.

Although he looks recovered now, he has actually suffered great damage.

The recovery of the Immortal Golden Body also requires the consumption of Qi and blood.

Now Su Mu is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and he feels extremely weak.

To be honest, he may not be much better than Taishi Tianbi.

But it was also because of this that he dared to let people search for Taishi Tianbi.

"What a pity for my wind and thunder wings!"

Su Mu spread out his palms, revealing a pair of small wings. There was a clear crack on the wings.

When Su Mu was attacked by the magic weapon just now, he subconsciously blocked it with his wind and thunder wings.

As a result, the Wind and Thunder Wings were destroyed in just one move. If he hadn't retracted them quickly, the Wind and Thunder Wings would have been completely melted away.

“I don’t know if it can be repaired.”

Su Mu sighed in his heart, the wind and thunder wings allowed him to fly, which was very convenient for both traveling and saving his life.

Now it has been destroyed in the hands of Taishi Tianbi.

This made Su Mu extremely angry.

"I've reserved your magic weapon. Just wait for me!"

Su Mu said to himself.

The people from the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture searched for two full days.

After Yang Yunzhong and others recovered some strength, they also joined the search team.

In the end, Tai Shi Tianbi was still not found.

Only after he was sure that Taishi Tianbi had escaped did Su Mu have no choice but to withdraw his troops.

…………

In Songjiang Prefecture, Su Mu called Zhang Zhongmei, Huo Zhenting and Wu Yiqi over.

He recounted what happened to Taishi Tianbi.

"Did you really meet Taishi Tianbi?"

Huo Zhenting asked, "Does he really have a magic weapon in his hand?"

"Have."

Su Mu nodded and said, "You never told me before that the magic weapon is so powerful. I almost died under the magic weapon."

"We haven't seen the real magic weapon either."

Zhang Zhongmei said sternly, "Sir Su, you were able to escape unscathed from the divine weapon. If this were to spread, it would definitely shock the world.

Taishi Tianbi once used his magic weapon in Daxing Mountain and almost killed a Jindan realm warrior on the spot. "

Su Mu shook his head in his heart.

He didn't get away with it unscathed.

If it weren't for his immortal golden body, he would have died already.

At that time, he was seriously injured and almost fatal, but he recovered only because his physical body and supernatural powers were too extraordinary.

"You said that Taishi Tianbi was using the energy of mountains and rivers to nourish his weapons. Now it seems that there might be something wrong with that magic weapon, so he needs to use this method."

Huo Zhenting pondered.

"I also felt it. The magic weapon should not be in its complete state, otherwise I might not be able to hold on."

Su Mu nodded.

"The number one wanted criminal now has a magical weapon. Why would he come to Songjiang Prefecture?"

Wu Yiqi asked curiously.

"That's why I asked you to come here."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, “It is not certain why Taishi Tianbi came to Songjiang Prefecture after leaving Daxing Mountain, but he is likely to stay nearby.

It is no exaggeration to say that no one in Songjiang Prefecture can be his opponent.

He is injured by me now, but once he recovers, things may be troublesome."

"So you want to find him before he recovers?"

Wu Yiqi pondered.

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded and said, “But it’s not that easy to find such a person.

Now we need to find out why Taishi Tianbi came to Songjiang Prefecture."

Su Mu glanced at the three of them and said, "It is difficult to find out the origin and purpose of Taishi Tianbi with only the power of the Taiping Division, so I need your help."

The three people in front of him, one represents the Supervisory Office and Shennong Herbal Sect, one represents the imperial court, and one represents the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

They can be said to be the top forces in Daxuan.

Add to that Su Mu, the Pacification Commissioner, and this kind of configuration would be hard to come by anywhere else.

Su Mu later recalled the process of fighting with Taishi Tianbi.

At that time, Tai Shi Tianbi said some inexplicable words, and Su Mu couldn't figure it out.

That's why he wanted to gather everyone together. Even if he couldn't find Taishi Tianbi, he had to find out Taishi Tianbi's background and the purpose of his coming to Songjiang Prefecture.

"I have known Taishi Tianbi before."

Wu Yiqi pondered and said, "This man seemed to have popped out of nowhere. He had never been known in the martial arts world before. Then one day he suddenly appeared and quickly became the number one wanted criminal. Since then, his position has never wavered."

He glanced at Su Mu with a strange look on his face, "If you think about it, he is somewhat similar to you."

Also went from obscurity to world-famous.

Su Mu was just a refugee at first, but within just a few years, he became the pacification commissioner of the Taiping Division.

You know, even for geniuses like them who come from famous families, it took a lot of effort and practice to get to their current status.

But for people like Su Mu and Taishi Tianbi, practicing is as easy as eating and drinking.

Their strength increased too quickly.

"Suddenly appeared, and then suddenly became famous?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Su Mu's face.

"There is a possibility that Taishi Tianbi was originally just an ordinary person. Then one day he fell off a cliff and saw a secret book of peerless martial arts. After practicing, he became a master of the world..."

Huo Zhenting analyzed with some excitement.

"You must have read too many story books!"

Zhang Zhongmei said bluntly, "Although I don't practice martial arts, I also know that practicing martial arts requires more than just having a martial arts secret book."

Zhang Zhongmei glanced at Su Mu. Even Su Mu was able to grow so fast because of the Taiping Division platform.

All of Su Mu's growth process is traceable. He was appreciated by Lin Qihuan, the Taiping Captain of Wuling Taiping Division, so he embarked on the path of cultivation.

Then he worked as a constable and a Sima in the outer city of Wuling City, and accumulated some experience.

Then he also has the help of two close female friends.

What does Taishi Tianbi have?
"Taishi Tianbi is a vicious man."

Huo Zhenting said, "He will rob it."

"The problem is, before he became the number one wanted criminal, especially when he was not very strong, how could he have the ability to snatch cultivation resources?"

Zhang Zhongmei questioned. "Master Zhang, do you mean that Taishi Tianbi might not be alone? Maybe there is a force behind him supporting him?"

Wu Yiqi pondered.

"I'm just saying it's a possibility."

Zhang Zhongmei nodded and said.

"There's no point in speculating."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "No matter how much you guess, you can't guess the truth, let's investigate separately.

If he is not found, he will always be a threat to Songjiang Prefecture.

In a few months, the first batch of students from Songjiang Prefecture will be enrolled. If Taishi Tianbi comes to cause trouble again, the consequences will be disastrous. "

When Su Mu thinks about the power of that magic weapon now, he still feels a chill.

A powerful man holding a magical weapon was hiding in the dark, which made Su Mu feel a little uneasy when sleeping.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Taishi Tianbi launched a surprise attack, no one in the entire Songjiang Prefecture, including Su Mu, would survive.

Su Mu now realizes that even in the same realm, he is not absolutely invincible.

His current strength is still not enough.

Zhang Zhongmei, Huo Zhenting and Wu Yiqi went to investigate separately.

Su Mu did not move, but called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (part-time), pacification envoy (fourth rank)]

[Points: 35000 points]

[Realm: True Yuan Realm]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Bloody Body, Giant Body]

[Kung Fu: Qiankun Infinite True Essence Technique (Introduction)...]

[Martial Arts: Thunder Artistic Conception (Great Success), Kan Water Artistic Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Great Success/+), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Perfect), Li Fire Artistic Conception (Perfect), Archery (Perfect)]

[Vision: None (Deduction)]

[Skill: Heavenly Artifact Refining Method (Beginner)]

As a pacification envoy, an income of two thousand points a day is still not enough.

Let the Silver-faced Killer of Jinfeng Tower return to the arena?
Su Mu was not opposed to it, but it was not easy to get a mission in Songjiang Prefecture.

And with his current identity, he cannot leave Songjiang Prefecture to carry out assassination missions in other places.

I don't have the conditions to earn points by using the identity of the Silver-faced Killer of Jinfeng Tower at the moment.

"Is there any other way to increase the speed of earning points?"

Su Mu thought in his heart.

"Perhaps, I can become a weaponsmith."

Su Mu's heart moved.

A weapon-casting master makes a living by his craft and does not receive a salary from the imperial court. This identity should not conflict with that of the Taiping Division's pacification envoy.

However, after learning the Tiangong Refining Technique, no new identities were added to the system panel.

This shows that just having skills is not enough, you also have to actually take on the work.

“The place where weapon forgers work is the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Imperial Court’s Smelting Department is another.

I am the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division, so it is definitely inappropriate for me to go to the Smelting Division.

It certainly won’t work if you join the Divine Weapon Pavilion.”

Su Mu thought seriously, "Some weapon shops do cooperate with some independent weapon forgers."

Daxuan was founded on martial arts, and weapons and elixirs are almost the two largest industries of Daxuan.

These two industries have always been dominated by the Daxuan court, while major sects such as the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Shennong Herb Sect have taken up the rest.

However, some of the proceeds were divided up by some families and small sects.

Many independent warriors cannot afford the fine weapons from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, so they can only buy weapons made by ordinary weapon shops.

Some weaponsmiths who are unwilling or unqualified to join the Divine Weapon Pavilion and cannot enter the Imperial Smelting Department will cooperate with these families and small sects to forge weapons for them.

"I am the governor of the Taiping Division after all. What's the big deal about me being exploited by capitalists?"

Su Mu said to himself, "Otherwise, why don't I just open my own weapons shop?
It seems that the Taiping Division has no regulations prohibiting business."

Thinking of this, Su Mu got up and went to Luo Anning's room.

"Opening a weapons shop?"

Luo An Ning blinked his bright eyes and asked doubtfully, "If you need silver, I still have it, and I can ask my father to send the silver over. There is no need to open a weapons shop."

The Luo family is a large family with hundreds of years of history. They have some foundation and are not short of money.

"It's not about the money."

Su Mu shook his head. He was not short of money.

After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

When Su Mu was the Sima in Wuling City, he confiscated people's property several times, and the money he saved at that time has not been spent yet.

Besides, he had gained a lot of benefits along the way during his previous mission to the wilderness.

"I have recently learned some weapon forging techniques from Huo Zhenting and Zhang Zhongmei. I want to practice my skills, but what should I do with the weapons I forge? Why not just open a weapon shop? Firstly, it will be convenient for practicing, and secondly, it will be considered an industry."

Su Mu said, "After we get married, we can't always rely on my father-in-law."

Luo An Ning blushed and whispered, "It's not impossible."

Su Mu: "..."

Soft rice is indeed delicious, but you still need to have an armory.

He needs this identity.

"The imperial court does not restrict the Taiping Division, mainly because no pacification envoy would be bored enough to engage in business."

Luo Anning calmed himself down and thought.

The salary of the Taiping Division is very high, and it is impossible for the Taiping Division's pacification envoy to be short of money when guarding an area. Even if they are really short of money, the money they earn from killing a monster can be earned faster than any business.

The imperial court did not prohibit the Taiping Division from doing business, so there was no need to do so.

"But I think we can let Xiaoyuan sister come forward."

Luo An Ning thought for a while and suggested, "Sister Xiaoyuan is not an official, so it's convenient for her to do things. She can open the weapons shop, and you just need to forge the weapons. This way, no one can find any faults."

"Good idea, let's do it."

Su Mu clapped his hands and immediately called Xiang Xiaoyuan over.

After some discussion, Xiang Xiaoyuan readily agreed. Due to her special status, she could not join the Taiping Division and was worried that she was useless.

Naturally, she would not hesitate to help Su Mu.

It just so happened that there was a commercial district planned around Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, so I could just buy a shop there.

…………

Before the matter of the weapons shop was settled, Wu Yiqi found Su Mu.

"I checked through the channels of the Supervisory Department and the Shennong Herbal Sect."

Wu Yiqi said with a serious expression, "I suspect that the reason why Taishi Tianbi came to Songjiang Prefecture is most likely because of a legend."

"What legend?"

Su Mu asked with some confusion.

“Legend has it that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xuan Nation, there was a battle between an unrivaled warrior and a great demon in Songjiang Prefecture, and both of them died.

There has always been a legend that the peerless master left his martial arts heritage in Songjiang Prefecture before his death. "

Wu Yiqi said, "Taishi Tianbi was born in the wild, and although he managed to snatch the magic weapon, I'm afraid he has no martial arts heritage.

I suspect he came to Songjiang Prefecture to find the martial arts inheritance of that peerless master."
