My name is Huang Tian, what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?
Chapter 60 The Library
Chapter 60 The Library
Huang Tian was introduced to Wei Xue by Xia Hong, so he was naturally labeled as such. This is why Head Instructor Liu reported to Xia Hong immediately.
'Huang Mansion, Huang Tian...'
As early as ten days ago, Xia Hong knew that Huang Tian and the Huang family could not be considered as one entity at all, because the former was just a servant's son, and a servant's son who was extremely neglected and bullied by his brothers. His interests were almost opposite to those of the Huang family.
Now that Huang Tian has suddenly displayed his genius and even gave Huang Rui a severe beating, the conflict between the two sides has deepened. Xia Hong is really in a difficult position to choose one side, since although he was Huang Tian's introducer, he also has a good relationship with the Huang family.
'No, there's no need to overthink it. I'll maintain the relationship with the Huang family, but I also need to cultivate Huang Tian!'
Xia Hong made a quick decision because, in his view, although the Huang family had considerable influence in the county city, the only true pillar of the family was Huang Xunjiu, a sixth-rank martial artist, and at most Huang Qian, a seventh-rank martial artist.
What matters most in this world is never the deep-rooted power structures, but rather strength and power!
Huang Tian has a very high chance of becoming a mid-level third-grade martial artist, not just a mere sixth-grade, but a fourth-grade one!
Even reaching the Grandmaster level is possible!
Such a genius is far more valuable than the Huang family!
Xia Hong looked at Liu Kuo and said slowly, "You reported it very promptly. Huang Tian's talent is quite good, and I do intend to cultivate him. However, the garrison commander ordered me to lead people to hunt down Zhang Yu, the abandoned disciple of the Flying Hong Sect, as soon as possible. It will take more than ten days, and I cannot return for the time being."
"Here's what we'll do. Go and summon Huang Tian in a bit. I'll meet with him first and see if he needs anything..."
He actually planned to wait until the arrest was over before seeing Huang Tian again, but when he thought about Huang Tian's extraordinary talent, he was worried that Huang Tian would be poached by other members of Zhenwu Guard while he was away, and then he would be devastated.
Therefore, it's best to get people into your own hands as soon as possible.
Liu Kuo nodded in agreement, then looked down at the wanted poster beside him and asked with some curiosity, "Is this Zhang Yu, who killed the magistrate and the county constable of Funing County a while ago and caused quite a stir?"
"Hmph, it was indeed him who killed him, but it wasn't because he had any grudge against the magistrate of Funing County, nor was it to act on behalf of Heaven. Rather, it was because the magistrate of Funing County had publicly stated that the root cause of the turmoil in the world lay in sects that did not obey the law."
In particular, he mentioned the Flying Goose Sect, one of the five major sects in the prefecture, which caused the Flying Goose Sect to harbor resentment and send Zhang Yu to assassinate the magistrate of Funing County to establish their authority.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Yu committed the murder, he was recognized by the county constable and others who came to his rescue. He then forcibly killed the constable and fled. However, the news had already spread, and the Flying Hong Sect immediately announced that Zhang Yu would be expelled from the sect to sever all ties..."
Since the news spread that the imperial court was going to collect all weapons in the country, all the major sects in the Great Qian Dynasty have been restless, and the same is true in Kunyun County, where the five major sects have been making frequent moves.
They sent some disciples to secretly assassinate officials who were hostile to the sect, as a form of deterrence.
If those disciples are not discovered by the authorities, they will act as if nothing has happened. If they are discovered by the authorities, they will declare them as outcasts of the sect, having betrayed their master long ago, so that the authorities cannot take action against the sect.
Zhang Yu was just like that. Despite his strength as a sixth-rank martial artist, he became an "outcast" of the Flying Hong Sect. However, he probably didn't care about this matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ordered to assassinate a county magistrate. Those who can do such dirty work are undoubtedly loyal to the sect.
"Alright, go and summon Huang Tian now. I can't wait here for long." Xia Hong waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Liu Kuo quickly left and returned to Wei Xue. He went straight to the Upper Dormitory, Section A, and found Room 25. He immediately saw Huang Tian practicing stance training to refine his qi and blood.
"Huang Tian!"
"Head Instructor?" Huang Tian was somewhat surprised, not expecting Liu Kuo to suddenly come looking for him.
"Come with me, Commander Xia Hong wants to see you," Liu Kuo said cheerfully. "Don't worry, it's good news!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian's heart stirred, realizing that it was because he had displayed his talent that he had gained Xia Hong's attention.
"No need to pack, just come with me. Commander Xia is waiting anxiously."
"Okay." The two walked very quickly, leaving the school and heading straight into the government office, where they soon met Xia Hong.
"Qian Hu!"
"Huang Tian, not bad, not bad. Sit down and let's talk."
Compared to his coldness during their last meeting, Xia Hong was exceptionally kind and friendly this time. "I called you here today for two reasons. I was the one who introduced you to Weixue, so there's a bond between us. As the one who introduced you, I can't just ignore you."
Their words were extremely friendly.
"Secondly, I heard you've reached the rank of a high-level cultivator?"
Huang Tian nodded.
"Hmm, very good. Reaching the rank of Martial Arts in ten days is definitely a genius even in our vast Zhenwu Guard."
Xia Hong smiled and said, "Your talent is exceptional, which makes me proud. Tell me, is there anything you're lacking in your daily cultivation?"
The implication is that he can provide some martial arts supplies.
Huang Tian didn't intend to refuse Xia Hong's "investment" in him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although the medicinal soup in Wei Academy is quite effective, it can't keep up with my cultivation progress. An ordinary person drinks three bowls of medicinal soup a day, but I drink more than double that, so..."
"I can give you some Blood-Coagulation Pills, which are used to condense blood and qi. One pill is enough for an ordinary person for five days."
Without hesitation, Xia Hong took out a small wooden box from the drawer. Inside the box were three porcelain bottles, each containing six Blood Clotting Pills. Even if Huang Tian ate one a day, it would be enough for eighteen days.
In reality, he believed that if he maintained his current speed of blood and qi condensation, he would be able to break through in just fifteen days. After taking the blood condensation pill, it would be even faster, possibly within ten days!
Break through another realm in ten days!
At that time, there would be no need to worry about the subsequent supply issues. Anyone with a brain in Zhenwu Guard would invest heavily in themselves, and even some wealthy families and merchants outside Zhenwu Guard would rush to send them all kinds of pills and gold and silver.
When that time comes, he'll be the one worrying about how to refuse some people...
"Is there anything else you need?" Xia Hong asked generously.
Huang Tian didn't mince words and said directly, "I want to go into the Zhenwuwei Library to take a look."
"You want to learn martial arts?"
Xia Hong flicked a silver token from his sleeve. "With this, you can go up to the second floor of the Book Pavilion, but you can only take two martial arts techniques from there. Hmm, you can look at any of the martial arts techniques stored on the first floor, but don't get too obsessed with the techniques. Realm is the most important thing."
The Zhenwuwei Library is divided into three floors. The first floor contains various martial arts notes, historical books and articles, and some basic and common martial arts techniques. The second floor houses many exquisite martial arts techniques. The third floor treasures the cultivation notes left by martial arts masters.
Huang Tian was slightly pleased as he accepted the silver token. "Thank you, Commander."
"Haha, it's nothing, don't worry about it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell Liu Kuo, and he will report it to me and I will solve it for you." Xia Hong laughed heartily.
Liu Kuo nodded to Huang Tian.
Huang Tian said solemnly, "I will never forget your kindness in helping me."
Upon hearing this, Xia Hong and Liu Kuo's smiles became even more genuine.
