The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 373 Promotion (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend monthly tickets)
Daxuan Capital City.

In a mansion.

A middle-aged man with a square face was sitting in the hall, and there were two other men sitting on his left and right.

One of them was none other than General Tan Shulan of the Shenwu Army.

Sitting in the main seat was the general-in-chief of the Shenwu Army under the general, and also Tan Shulang's immediate superior, named Liu Feibai.

“It’s a bit too much.”

Liu Feibai slowly said, "Eight Jindan realm masters surrounded and killed the commander of the Taiping Division in the capital.

If we let them succeed, it would not only slap the face of the Taiping Division, but also the face of our Shenwu Army."

"Eight people, but they didn't even get a Su Mu. What a waste!"

Tan Shulan snorted coldly.

"If they are trash, then what is our Shenwu Army?"

Liu Feibai said unhappily, “The Shenwu Army patrolled the capital, and they did such a big thing on our territory, and we only found out about it afterwards.

Tell me, where should I put this face?

He slapped his face.

Tan Shulang moved his lips but didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Tell me, how do we solve this problem?"

Liu Feibai said coldly, "The Taiping Division has sent an official letter asking us, the Shenwu Army, to explain where these eight Jindan realms came from."

"Our Shenwu Army is not under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Division, so why should we explain it to them?"

Tan Shulan said unconvinced.

He had long disliked Su Mu and wished that Su Mu would be killed.

Liu Feibai glanced at Tan Shulan. He used to think that he was quite capable, but why did he feel that he was so stupid now?
"Brother Tan, although the Taiping Division has no control over our Shenwu Army, they are the victims now."

Another man said that he was one of the four generals of the Shenwu Army and was at the same level as Tan Shulan.

"No matter what, allowing eight Jindan realm masters to enter the capital city is indeed a dereliction of duty by our Shenwu Army. If this really comes to the attention of His Majesty, the general will inevitably be implicated."

He said.

"The Taiping Division is deliberately looking for trouble!"

Tan Shulang said angrily, "How could they not know the origins of these eight Jindan realm masters?

They themselves don't dare to stir up this hornet's nest, so why do they ask our Shenwu Army to do it?"

"You also know that this is a hornet's nest?"

Liu Feibai snorted coldly, "Then tell me, why did the patrol team avoid it when the incident happened?

One stick of incense is enough time for the patrol team to walk from the west to the east of the city!"

"I……"

Tan Shulang's eyes wandered, "It's the Song family..."

"Humph!"

Liu Feibai snorted heavily.

You call others trash, but I think you are the trash!
Even if you have some grievances with Su Mu, have you ever thought about the consequences of allowing these people to assassinate Su Mu in the capital?
The conflict between the Taiping Division and those aristocratic families originally had nothing to do with our Shenwu Army. By making such a fuss, you have dragged our Shenwu Army into the quagmire!

There is no benefit and it only causes trouble.

Now, we have been targeted by the Taiping Division. How will this end?

"I don't care what method you use to solve this matter, just solve it."

Liu Feibai said coldly, "Satisfy the Taiping Division, otherwise, get out of the capital. The border is still short of a garrison general."

Tan Shulang’s face turned pale.

Can the border troops be compared with the imperial guards?

If he really went to the border army, he would probably never be able to come back in his life.

"What does Taipingsi want to do?"

Tan Shulang said authentically.

"I don't know, go talk to me yourself!"

Liu Feibai said impatiently, "Before this matter is resolved, hand your men over to Lao Zhang first."

The man next to him looked surprised.

"This - Brother Tan, I will take care of the people for you for the time being."

He could barely hide the smile on his face.

Tan Shulang's face was gloomy, but he couldn't disobey the orders from his superiors, so he could only snort coldly.

…………

Hou Wuque suddenly opened his eyes and saw a figure standing by the window.

The moonlight outside the window shone on the man, making him seem as if he was shrouded in a circle of light.

"who are you?"

Hou Wuque sat up and asked in a deep voice.

He was rescued that day and then placed here.

For several days, he didn't see anyone except a few mute servants.

He thought about leaving, but his current physical condition wouldn't allow it.

On the contrary, here, he had no worries about food and clothing, and the other party also provided him with elixirs to heal his injuries, so he simply stayed there, wanting to see who saved him.

The man by the window slowly turned around, and he was wearing a bronze mask on his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

An indescribable sense of majesty emanated from him, making Hou Wuque feel a little ashamed of himself.

"Two paths."

The man spoke slowly, his voice sounding like the collision of metal, sonorous and powerful.

"The first way is to become a rich man. I will give you a sum of money. You won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life. You can spend it as you please."

Hou Wuque was stunned and confused.

The man ignored Hou Wuque's reaction and said directly, "The second way is to gather your cultivation again and fight Su Mu again."

"who are you?"

Hou Wuque frowned.

"You are not qualified to know my identity yet. Tell me your choice."

The man said coldly.

"If I choose the first path, will I never know who you are?"

Hou Wuque said.

The man didn't say anything, but his attitude was obvious.

Trash has no right to know his identity.

"My inner elixir has been destroyed. If I practice again, I may not have the chance to form an elixir again in this lifetime. Su Mu is a contemporary genius, and his practice speed is the fastest in the world. Why do you think I still have a chance to fight him?"

Hou Wuque said.

"Tell me your choice."

the man repeated, not bothering to explain any more to him.

Hou Wuque's mind raced. He didn't understand who this man was, but when he thought about it, it seemed that there was nothing about him that could be of use to the other party.

He is already a cripple, so what's the worst that can happen?

Could it get worse than it is now?

He just wants to eat and wait for death, and he doesn't need anyone else at all.

After all, he is a playboy and has no shortage of money.

"I choose the second option."

Soon, he made a decision in his heart.

Take a chance, what if?
What if this man really has the ability to restore his cultivation?

"Don't let me down a second time."

The man nodded slightly and said, "Fifteen days ago, Sha Lianting died at the hands of Li Tingkui. From now on, you are the leader of the Pure Land Sect. I will teach you the White Lotus Pure Land Art. When you cultivate the White Lotus Golden Body, you can naturally fight against Su Mu's Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth Golden Body." "White Lotus Pure Land Art?"

Hou Wuque showed surprise on his face, he finally knew who the person in front of him was.

He is the man behind the Pure Land Sect!
"This is the Dragon Spine Whip, which is specially used to restrain warriors whose bodies have become holy."

The man with the bronze mask turned his wrist and took out an iron whip more than three feet long from somewhere.

The iron whip looked like a human spine, with sections inserted together and emitting a captivating black light all over.

"Dragon Spine Whip? According to rumors, it is one of the thirteen treasures of Great Xuan Ancestor?"

Hou Wuque exclaimed in surprise.

With the White Lotus Pure Land Technique and the Dragon Spine Whip, how could Su Mu fight him?

…………

The headquarters of the Taiping Division.

The door of Yingling Cave slowly opened, and Su Mu walked out slowly.

His face turned slightly pale, and after walking out of the Cave of Heroes, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Ever since he was ambushed by eight Jindan realm masters last time, Su Mu has never left the Taiping Division Headquarters.

He stayed in the Yingling Cave to practice almost non-stop, and would only come out to rest for a while when he could no longer bear it.

As for other matters, he left them to Shi Binbin, Cheng Hao and others to solve.

In terms of understanding of the various forces in the capital, the two of them are much stronger than Su Mu now.

"The time for training in the Heroic Spirit Cave has finally been used up."

Su Mu said to himself, "It's a pity that I still haven't been able to break through to the middle stage of the Jindan realm.

But this is normal. It takes ordinary people at least several decades of hard practice to reach the intermediate stage of Jindan.

I have gained a lot now.

Moreover, I comprehended the Duize state of mind in the Heroic Spirit Cave, and the original eight state of mind were finally complete."

[Name: Su Mu]

[Position: Weaponsmith (concurrently), Silver-faced Assassin (concurrently), Lord Zhenxi (Lord), Commander (third rank)]

[Points: 1000000 points]

[Realm: Danjie Realm]

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

[Kung Fu: Nine-turn Golden Body Art (Six-turn Golden Body Art), Imperial Heaven and Empress Earth Art, Dragon and Tiger Pill Formation Method (Minor Success)...]

[Martial Arts: Duize artistic conception (perfect), Kundi artistic conception (perfect), Zhenlei artistic conception (perfect), Genshan artistic conception (perfect), Kanshui artistic conception (perfect), Qiantian artistic conception (perfect), Xunfeng artistic conception (perfect), Lihuo artistic conception (perfect), Archery (perfect)]

[Special Skill: Source of Qi (Perfect)]

[Vision: Fire and Wind Cauldron, Fire and Wind Family, Deduction +]

[Skill: Heavenly Artifact Refining Method (Beginner/+)]

Duize's comprehension of the artistic conception was an unexpected surprise, as he did not deliberately try to comprehend the artistic conception in the Yingling Cave.

It was just a natural process for him to comprehend the artistic conception of Duize, and then he cultivated it to perfection.

At this point, he had cultivated all of the original eight realms of mind to perfection.

However, there has been little progress on the vision front.

The main reason was that he did not focus his energy on deducing the vision.

After this period of hard practice in seclusion, he had made some progress in the Dragon-Tiger Pill Formation Method.

All in all, his current true essence cultivation has reached the peak of the initial stage of the Jindan stage, and he can break into the intermediate stage of the Jindan stage at any time.

For ordinary people to achieve this level, more than ten years of hard practice are necessary.

Su Mu also gained a lot from practicing hard in Yingling Cave for several months.

"From the minor to the major of the Dragon Tiger Dan Forming Technique, it originally required three million points, but after my own hard work, now it only requires two million."

Su Mu said to himself.

"No points have been consumed during this period."

Looking at the points on the system panel, Su Mu was also somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Since being promoted to commander, he has also been given the title of Zhenxibo. Now the points he can get every day have almost exceeded ten thousand.

Ten thousand points a day means three hundred thousand points a month.

Compared to before, the speed of accumulating points has been greatly improved.

But now the speed at which points are consumed is also very alarming, easily reaching millions of points.

"With one million points, can I finally upgrade the Heavenly Art Refining Technique to a minor level?"

Su Mu looked at the several plus signs on the system panel, and his gaze finally fell on the Tiangong Refining Method.

One million points may seem like a lot, but there isn't much that can be increased now.

It takes two million points to upgrade the Dragon-Tiger Dan Formation Method.

To repair the golden statue of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth, not only points are needed, but also incense and vows. He has not accumulated enough incense and vows now.

Therefore, all he could do now, apart from improving his Tiangong weapon refining technique, was to use it to deduce the visions.

It takes 100,000 points to deduce a vision once, and it may not succeed.

One million points is just the result of ten deductions, and it is not certain how much you can gain.

Only the Tiangong Refining Method is more reliable.

Come to think of it, his weapon-making skills had indeed not been improved for a long time.

After reaching the Jindan stage, his weapon-making skills, which could only forge ordinary weapons, could no longer keep up with his strength.

Who among the strong men in the Jindan realm doesn’t have a mysterious weapon in his hand?
It’s not that all the strong people in the Jindan realm are so rich, but ordinary soldiers can no longer bear the power of the strong people in the Jindan realm.

Take Su Mu for example. If he used the Thunder Blade now, it would be completely destroyed if he used all his strength.

Therefore, if he wanted to unleash the power of the Jindan realm, he could only use the Blood Drinking Sword bestowed by the Xuan Emperor.

The same is true for other warriors in the Jindan realm.

Therefore, any warrior who has reached the Jindan stage will try his best to prepare a mysterious weapon for himself.

Although Su Mu now has the Blood Drinking Knife, there is no guarantee that he will not need more Xuanbing in the future.

Xuanbing is rare and is something that even money cannot buy.

If I could forge a mysterious weapon myself, it would naturally be much more convenient.

Just as Su Mu was thinking, Shi Binbin came towards him.

"You finally came out."

Shi Binbin saw Su Mu and said, "You are in seclusion happily. We will take care of all the troubles."

"Able people should do more work."

Su Mu smiled and said, "These things are definitely not as good as you say if I do them."

Shi Binbin smiled, "That's true, you are not familiar with the various relationships in the capital, and only I can accurately grasp their pain points.

I made Tan Shulang bleed a lot this time."

"What did he compensate us with?"

Su Mu smiled.

“First, I want 10,000 taels of silver, then 1,000 kilograms of precious herbs, and in addition, I want 500 kilograms of the dragon blood stone controlled by the Great Xuan Imperial Army.

This thing is a good thing. In the past, if we wanted it, we had to spend a lot of money to buy it.

You may not know that this thing is a top-quality material for making mysterious weapons.

Five hundred kilograms of dragon blood stone can at least forge seven or eight mysterious weapons."

Shi Binbin said complacently, "These things are supposed to be yours, but I can help you make them into Xuanbing. My father and my grandfather are both the best weapon forgers in our Taiping Division. Ordinary people may not be willing to help them, but I can definitely do it for you."

"We are brothers, so let's settle accounts clearly. I won't cheat you. When the time comes, you can just give me a piece of Xuanbing."

Shi Binbin said, patting his chest.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's not necessary."

Su Mu smiled and said, "I remember that I seemed to be a weapon forger myself."
