"

"I wonder who had the audacity to steal the incense burner."

The two stopped in front of the Crown Prince's residence.

"Master, are we sure we haven't made a mistake? How did the incense burner end up here?"

"How could the Bloodlight Technique go wrong?"

The two spoke in hushed tones, and as they discussed, they arrived near the artificial hill in the backyard.

The old Taoist priest at the head of the group looked at the pond and said in a deep voice, "The thing is down there."

"it is good."

The other person quietly submerged underwater and returned to shore in a few breaths carrying the incense burner: "Master, it really is here, and... the incense inside is gone!"

"what?!"

The old Taoist priest picked up the incense burner, held it in his hands, and carefully examined it. His expression immediately turned grim.

"Master!"

The subordinate said, "Was it done by this young master? I'll go find him and question him right away!"

"do not move!"

The old Taoist frowned: "This matter is a top secret, so don't spread it around. Whether it's Cao Fan or not, we can just ask him when we get back."

"Right."

The subordinate asked in confusion, "If it were Cao Fan, he shouldn't have hidden the item in the water. He could have just told us directly. But who else in Liangzhou City knows the art of incense offerings?"

"Seeking Immortals Pavilion? No, they have no idea how incense is collected."

“Sun Xiangzong? He hasn’t been involved in religious activities much, and he’s not even in Liangzhou right now. Even the emperor doesn’t know where he is. Who else could it be? After going around in circles, Cao Fan is still the most likely candidate.”

"Squeak-"

The sound of a door opening came from afar.

The two Taoist priests did not linger; they leaped onto the wall and then disappeared back into the darkness.

……

Inside the brothel.

Chen Sanshi was somewhat disappointed.

No movement?

He thought there would be a big show tonight, but all those days of waiting turned out to be for nothing.

With so much incense being stolen, are the Incense God Cult members completely unperturbed?

They were afraid of those surnamed Cao.

Or is there something else?

"That's all..."

Chen Sanshi knew that if he wanted to avenge himself and Yu Song, he would have to take action himself.

In the past few days, I first broke through to the Great Perfection of Transformation Force and simultaneously began practicing sword qi techniques.

The backyard of the Chen residence.

"Om-"

"call--"

Siqin, carrying food and drinks, stopped at the entrance to the backyard. Listening to the noise inside, she was too frightened to approach. Even though there was only one door separating them, it sounded like a strong wind was blowing inside.

She didn't dare to make a sound and quietly left after placing the things at the door.

It's late autumn again.

A thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard gradually gathered together as the dragon-like spear danced, then transformed into a golden tornado. Wherever it passed, it shattered flower beds one after another, with crackling and popping sounds echoing continuously.

The dragon and elephant blood within Chen Sanshi's body was boiling and surging, and his five internal organs were operating at full capacity, maintaining a state of explosive blood, constantly generating power, and then continuously pouring the power into the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear.

A journey of martial arts.

One wrong step leads to another.

Starting with Qi and Blood, if one is inferior to others from the beginning, then as one's realm advances, the gap between those at the same realm will become increasingly larger, eventually forming an insurmountable chasm. This is why the selection process of feeling bones was considered of paramount importance.

Only martial artists with strong physiques can develop a more solid foundation in their cultivation.

At this moment.

Chen Sanshi is constantly pushing his limits in order to refine the purity and intensity of his strength.

The initial stage of mastering the transformation of internal energy is the application of internal energy to weapons.

The Great Perfection, on the other hand, involves releasing force outwards, forming a ring of enveloping force around the weapon, thus achieving terrifying attack power. Even if the weapon's blade does not touch the opponent, it can still cause damage.

If you don't use weapons and are bare-handed, you can catch a blade with your bare hands by relying on your strength, provided that you are truly stronger than your opponent and won't hurt yourself.

Each time Chen Sanshi thrust out his spear, he could feel the force added to the spear tip growing stronger, gradually overflowing from the tip and then spreading outwards. He deliberately consumed it until he was exhausted, squeezing out the last bit of force from his body.

Then came the qualitative change.

After the extreme pain, his physical body was sublimated once again, and the power generated by his blood and internal organs became even purer. When it was added to the Xuanbing, it expanded like a sharp sword that could extend, until it was transmitted to the tip of the spear and formed an invisible force that stabilized around the blade.

breakthrough!

Mastery of Transformation Technique!

[Technique: National Guardian Dragon Spear - Transformation of Internal Energy (Mastery)]

【Progress: 0/0】

[Effects: ..., True Dragon Force]

[True Dragon Force: A force so powerful it resembles a real dragon.]

The strength of an ordinary person, simply put, is like adding an invisible blade to the edge of a weapon; it is static, merely having varying degrees of power, without any special properties.

But the power of True Dragon Force is alive!

"Om-"

Chen Sanshi gripped the spear shaft horizontally with both hands, adding force, and the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear trembled incessantly, especially the buzzing sound at the spear tip, which sounded like several small dragons swirling outside the blade.

He neither used any techniques nor made the spear tip actually touch the object. He simply infused the spear with True Dragon Force and slowly pushed it forward. When the porcelain pot was still more than an inch away from the potted plant, the pot suddenly shattered.

If the reference point is too weak, the power cannot be visually demonstrated.

If he had to describe it, Chen Sanshi felt that the True Dragon Force on the tip of his spear was like a chainsaw, capable of launching a second attack after contact with the enemy, and would definitely play a remarkable role in actual combat.

"It's done!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief: "Next, it's time to break through the meridians."

The cultivation method for reaching the Meridian Opening Realm.

Not long after returning to Liangzhou, Sun Li brought it to him. It was still the Dragon Spear that guarded the country, and it was a complete cultivation method that led all the way to the Profound Elephant Realm, with comments and insights included.

They didn't give it to him all at once before; they must have added these things later.

Speak your mind.

Since my master went to the capital, he has been out of the public eye. He was a perfectly healthy person, but he hasn't shown his face for almost a year. Even during the Mingzhou Rebellion, there were rumors that His Majesty almost personally led the expedition.

I reckon there's something more important to do.

But to be honest, even his master wasn't of much significance to his cultivation level.

As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

The cultivation method has been given to him, and the precious medicine has never been interrupted.

All that's left is to rely on your own efforts.

Speaking of which, Chen Sanshi doesn't hold back when it comes to consuming precious medicines these days. He'll keep eating whatever he can digest. After reaching the Transformation Realm, each pill is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, which most officials would find difficult to afford.
