Chapter 65: Great Wisdom and Great Wisdom, Borrowing the Head of Master Li
Shangguan Yundun is the number one master of the Tiancan sect, and also a top killer renowned in the martial arts world. Even among the grandmasters, his strength is among the best.
It is almost certain that he can deal with Li Ming.
The man couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that the reward of two hundred thousand taels of silver on Li Ming is quite attractive. Even the Tiancan Sect wants to get involved."
But the other shook his head in denial.
"It's not 200,000 taels, it's already 300,000 taels. On the hidden flower list of our Qingyi Building, the value of Li Ming's head is still increasing."
"It seems that there are many people who are interested in him. We should act as soon as possible."
"Besides, isn't this Master Li an excellent swordsman? When the time comes, there will also be two sword masters to test his skill. We are not here just for the money. As long as we take care of this guy, everyone will have a share of the things in Qianming Martial Arts Hall."
As soon as these words came out, a hint of greed flashed in the other person's eyes.
As the fame of Qianming Martial Arts School spread, many people were secretly watching it.
Furthermore, there have been various rumors that the martial arts taught to disciples by Qianming Martial Arts School cover techniques and skills from various schools and sects, and no one knows where they collected so many martial arts from.
This has already made people in the world salivate.
Not to mention, many people speculated that it was not normal for Master Li, who was so young, to have made such rapid progress in martial arts and even defeated Master Xuannan, the head of Shaolin Damo Academy, head-on.
There may be a secret to quickly improve your strength in Qianming Martial Arts School!
Some speculated that this was a miracle cure.
Some people speculated that it was a heaven-defying martial art.
Some people also speculated that he might have secretly used some evil secret technique...
But no matter what, these are extremely attractive to the warriors in the world of martial arts.
Beneath the calm water surface, undercurrents have long been surging.
If you can pick this martial arts school first now, you can take everything inside for yourself.
The temptation is huge.
With the help of Grandmaster Shangguan Yundun and targeted arrangements based on the characteristics of his martial arts, I don’t believe he can escape.
In the room, the sounds of conspiracy continued, becoming lower and lower.
The next morning, before dawn, Bai Zhantang was already standing in the lobby of Tongfu Inn.
He was wearing a simple piece of clothing, but his eyes were focused on the oil lamp on the table not far away.
"Fingers are as swift as the wind, and as powerful as lightning!"
Bai Zhantang made the sunflower acupoint-pressing hand gesture and attacked suddenly.
Swish!
The oil lamp on the table went out instantly, but it did not affect the surroundings at all.
A satisfied smile appeared on Bai Zhantang's face.
He had made a breakthrough in his cultivation recently and had already reached the middle stage of the Innate Realm. Similarly, his finger strength had also increased greatly, and he had gradually entered the stage of acupuncture through distance.
Thinking back on his progress in the past few days, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but sigh.
His martial arts progress had been stagnant in the past two years at Tongfu Inn. He had been accumulating strength for a long time, and all he needed was an opportunity.
Thanks to the fight between Li Ming, Master Xuan Nan and Gong Chang Zhang a few days ago, Bai Zhantang, who was watching the fight, seemed to have some understanding, especially he vaguely witnessed Li Ming's control of the true meaning.
In the few days after he came back, Bai Zhantang quickly grasped this hint of insight and successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Innate Realm.
Looking at his fingers, Bai Zhantang was extremely satisfied.
I was planning to clean up the area and then open for business.
Suddenly, a figure sneaked out from the backyard.
"who!"
Bai Zhantang flashed to the nearby area and just in time saw Mo Xiaobei peeking around.
Bai Zhantang found it funny and reached out to grab Mo Xiaobei.
If this had happened in the past, Mo Xiaobei would have been caught by him directly without having the slightest chance to fight back.
However, this time when Bai Zhantang stretched out his hand halfway, Mo Xiaobei's figure suddenly accelerated.
It brushed past the edge of his palm.
"Ok?"
Bai Zhantang was quite surprised. He followed closely and was about to capture Mo Xiaobei and ask her what she was doing sneaking around so early in the morning.
However, it failed again.
Mo Xiaobei turned around subconsciously, and actually exchanged a few moves with Bai Zhantang during this gap.
Bai Zhantang was just joking at first, but he ended up not being able to defeat her!
Surprised, Bai Zhantang became serious. After a few attacks, Mo Xiaobei was accidentally caught by his shoulder.
"Hey, Brother Bai, be gentle, it's me!"
"Of course I know it's you."
Bai Zhantang was shocked and stared at Mo Xiaobei, looking him up and down as if he didn't recognize him.
"Have you practiced internal skills?"
"Hehe, Brother Bai, you have sharp eyes. You saw it right away."
Mo Xiaobei flattered him with a playful smile.
Bai Zhantang was even more surprised.
He knew that the martial arts taught in Li Ming's martial arts school were extraordinary and Mo Xiaobei was also smart.
But I still didn't expect that the progress would be so fast.
Now Mo Xiaobei already has considerable internal strength, and Bai Zhantang can feel that she is practicing an extremely advanced internal skill.
It was so brilliant that even Bai Zhantang couldn't help but admire it.
Not to mention, Mo Xiaobei had just exchanged a few moves with him, and his boxing and kicking skills were exquisite and varied, and he had already reached the level of proficiency.
With Mo Xiaobei's current strength, ordinary martial artists in the Gang Realm may not be her match.
Li Ming's generosity still exceeded Bai Zhantang's imagination.
This is really a bold teaching!
If Bai Zhantang didn't know Li Ming well, he couldn't help but wonder if he had other intentions.
Not a penny was confiscated from Mo Xiaobei, not even tuition was charged, yet all he taught him were top-notch martial arts. Is there really such a cheap thing in the world?
For a moment, Bai Zhantang was even a little impulsive and wanted to collect money to go to a martial arts school to learn. Master Li should be willing to accept him, right?
But soon, Bai Zhantang suppressed this impulse and glanced at the sword in Mo Xiaobei's hand.
"Master Li has been teaching you swordsmanship recently?"
"Not bad!"
Mo Xiaobei looked left and right, and lowered his voice mysteriously.
"Brother Bai, can you keep this a secret for me? Master has been urging me to practice Hengshan Swordsmanship recently, and I don't want my sister-in-law to know. I'll give her a surprise later!"
Hengshan swordsmanship?
Bai Zhantang nodded, this is a good thing.
After all, Mo Xiaobei is the head of the Hengshan School, so he will have to learn this sword technique sooner or later.
Moreover, regarding this matter, the two seniors, Mr. Mo Da and Mr. Liu Zhengfeng, who are currently acting as agents for the Hengshan School, have also written to urge us to do so many times.
Bai Zhantang was curious about how Li Ming urged Mo Xiaobei and how he could practice sword skills stealthily so early in the morning before dawn.
But after thinking about it, he let go of Mo Xiaobei.
"Okay, go and learn from Master Li and don't play around."
"Don't worry, Brother Bai."
Mo Xiaobei hurried out of the inn holding a long sword and ran towards the martial arts hall.
Bai Zhantang looked at Mo Xiaobei's back and felt quite sad.
It seems that my suggestion to let Mo Xiaobei learn martial arts was right. Following Master Li is indeed a rare opportunity.
I am just a little worried. At this rate, in a few years, no one may be able to control this monster Mo Xiaobei.
Bai Zhantang sighed.
On the other side, Mo Xiaobei quickly arrived at the martial arts gym and began to practice swordsmanship with Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo.
If there were anyone from the Five Mountains Sword Sect here, they would definitely be stunned with fear after seeing the moves of these three people.
The three of them were actually practicing the extremely sophisticated Five Mountains sword technique.
The Songshan swordsmanship with seventeen moves of fast and slow swords, the dense and rigorous Hengshan swordsmanship, the Huashan swordsmanship that combines the orthodox and the strange, the misty Hengshan swordsmanship, and the strange Taishan swordsmanship...
The Five Mountains Sword Technique was almost brought to its full potential in the hands of these three talented disciples.
Even his comprehension of swordsmanship has surpassed that of most of the elite disciples in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
However, what was even more surprising was that during their practice, he was able to break all of the Five Mountains Sword Techniques with just a casual strike of the sword.
It was Li Ming who taught them the technique to break the Five Mountains Sword Technique.
I guess if the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were here, they would be so shocked that they would doubt their lives when they saw that the sword skills that their sects were so proud of were completely broken.
However, Yang Guo and Lin Pingzhi still looked reluctant.
"Big sister, I have been training with you for such a long time. When will it end? It has delayed our own progress in martial arts."
Yang Guo couldn't help but complain, and was obviously dissatisfied with being Mo Xiaobei's sparring partner.
But when Mo Xiaobei glared at him, he immediately swallowed his opinion back.
After a while, we finally finished the practice.
Lin Pingzhi walked to the side with a gloomy face and started practicing his Jade Girl Sword Technique.
Mo Xiaobei's internal strength progress is already quite good, but Lin Pingzhi is even faster.
The Jade Girl Heart Sutra was originally created by a woman. In order to suppress the Quanzhen internal energy, she used unconventional methods to gain the upper hand and made rapid progress in the early stages.
Mo Xiaobei's Xiantian Kung Fu follows the orthodox way of Xuanmen. It is not weak at the beginning and will become stronger and stronger later.
Compared to his two senior brothers and sisters, Yang Guo is much more boring.
Apart from the Orchid Finger Technique, he hasn't learned any new martial arts recently.
Instead, Li Ming asked him to start reading and learning some things about the Five Elements, Gossip, and Qimen Dunjia.
Fortunately, Yang Guo had amazing talent, he mastered it very quickly, and gradually discovered the fun in it.
But Yang Guo was still confused and didn't know what learning these had to do with martial arts.
Those who didn't know would think that they were not enrolled in a martial arts school, but a college. Yang Guo had just silently recited the Nine Fives Technique in the hexagrams, and the sky gradually brightened.
Li Ming appeared and called the three people over.
Every time the master gave them special treatment, it would bring them benefits, and the three of them couldn't help but feel refreshed.
But this time, Li Ming did not teach them new martial arts. Instead, he took them to a side room. After entering, he moved the bed away, then lifted the wooden board underneath, revealing a staircase.
"what?"
The three of them looked at each other.
They had been in the martial arts gym for quite some time, but they didn't even know there was a tunnel here.
After walking down the stairs, I saw a huge cold jade bed, and with it, a chill filled the air.
Even though the weather was a little hot now, the three of them still shivered.
This crystal clear treasure made of cold jade was also very shocking in their eyes.
Li Ming ordered Mo Xiaobei and Lin Pingzhi to climb onto the cold jade bed and use their internal energy, while Yang Guo watched from the side.
At first, the two didn't understand. Mo Xiaobei even thought that she had done something wrong and the master wanted to punish her.
If you lie on such a cold lump of ice, won’t it freeze into a popsicle in no time?
Although Lin Pingzhi was also confused, since his master had given the order, he sat on the seat without hesitation and started practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
Mo Xiaobei had no choice but to obey.
But soon, the two discovered the beauty of it.
Practicing internal skills on this cold jade bed has increased the efficiency by many times!
It was like turning on the accelerator, and the internal strength of both of them improved at a visible speed.
The two were surprised and delighted, and for a moment they were so absorbed in the activity that they were reluctant to get off.
Li Ming was very satisfied with the effect.
In this way, with the addition of elixirs and viper blood, the disciples' improvement speed will be further accelerated.
Especially for Lin Pingzhi, as he practices the Jade Girl Heart Sutra further, his whole body will become hot. With this cold jade bed, the side effects can be offset and his progress will be faster.
Of course, those who are qualified to use the cold jade bed will be a small group of absolutely loyal disciples in his martial arts school.
There are more and more secrets in the martial arts hall recently. Li Ming has begun to consider whether to remodel the interior and add some secret rooms with mechanisms.
As the sky brightened, Qianming Martial Arts School became busy again.
The ordinary disciples were all immersed in a busy day.
Now there is a stratification in the identities of the disciples in the martial arts school.
Those who excel will have the opportunity to be selected into the core circle, while those who lag behind for a long time will be relegated to other courtyards, which further stimulates their enthusiasm.
No one wants to fall behind and works harder than before.
From the main courtyard of the martial arts school and its two branch courtyards, the sounds of people practicing martial arts could be heard from time to time, making the place very lively.
After Li Ming's last warning, the people who climbed onto the surrounding rooftops to spy disappeared, and most people only dared to linger outside the martial arts hall.
But among them, there are many eyes with ulterior motives.
In everyone's eyes, Li Ming seemed to have not changed at all.
He was still calm and composed, supervising the progress of his disciples everywhere, and no one noticed that he had already reached the Grandmaster level.
Outside a cave far away from Qixia Town.
At this time, there were two people standing at the entrance of the cave.
One of them was an elegant man, a graceful young man holding a folding fan with his fingers, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were always looking away.
The other one had a clever look on his face and had two weird mustaches.
The two of them were none other than the famous Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you said that the all-knowing Great Wisdom is in this cave?"
Hua Manlou tilted his ear to listen inside and asked Lu Xiaofeng.
He is extremely wise and knowledgeable, and it is said that he knows everything about the world.
As long as you pay, you can answer all the questions in the martial arts world.
However, no one has ever seen their true appearance.
As they were talking, two voices were heard from inside the cave.
"Do you know the rules?"
Lu Xiaofeng shrugged.
"Of course I know. One question costs fifty taels of silver. Pay first and then I can answer."
As he spoke, he took out some silver and threw it directly into the cave.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"Where did Master Li of Qianming Martial Arts School get all his martial arts skills?"
After asking this question, the cave fell into silence for a moment.
A moment later, the silver that Lu Xiaofeng had just thrown in was thrown out again for the first time.
“We can’t answer this question, and no one knows.”
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be surprised. This was the first time he saw someone so wise and knowledgeable actually have questions that he couldn't answer.
What a rarity!
Lu Xiaofeng threw the silver back into the cave and continued asking questions.
"It is rumored among the people in the martial arts world that this Master Li is proficient in all martial arts. Is this true?"
Silver flew out again.
"We still don't have an answer. We only know that the martial arts he has shown so far are diverse and sophisticated, and he is proficient in the martial arts skills of many schools."
Hua Manlou was standing nearby, listening to the sound of silver flying around, with a strange look on his face.
He tilted his head towards Lu Xiaofeng, as if asking: Are these wise and knowledgeable people reliable? Wasn't it rumored that they knew everything?
How come he couldn't answer two questions in a row? He just threw the silver back and forth like a child throwing sandbags.
Lu Xiaofeng threw the silver in again, making a dull thud.
"What realm is this Master Li in then?"
This time, the silver was not returned, the voice in the cave said with certainty.
"Xiantian realm!"
Lu Xiaofeng nodded, but shook his head at the same time.
The opponent is not at the Grandmaster level, but he was able to defeat a Grandmaster like Master Xuan Nan, which shows how powerful he is.
No wonder he became famous in the world in such a short time.
The voice in the cave seemed to feel sorry for not being able to answer two consecutive questions before. After a moment of silence, it took the initiative to speak.
"We will give you the answer to another question. A killer has already targeted this Master Li. If you are interested in him, please hurry up, otherwise you may not be able to see him alive."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Hua Manlou, nodded, turned around and left without asking any more questions.
"Where are we going next? Didn't you say you wanted to help me investigate the case of fake silver bills?" Hua Manlou caught up and asked.
"That's right, let's go to Qixia Town and meet this famous Master Li."
After saying that, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou left quickly.
Not long after, a short and fat figure walked out of the cave, holding silver in one hand and covering his forehead with the other, cursing under his breath.
"This Lu Xiaofeng threw it really accurately, hitting me right on the forehead. It hurts so much. It's not easy to earn some money from him..."
The sun sets and it is evening again.
In the martial arts hall, the disciples finished their busy daytime practice.
Li Ming had nothing to do for the time being. After having his meal at Tongfu Inn, he went out of the west gate of the town to inspect the construction progress on the large open space outside.
This is the future expansion direction of the martial arts school.
The foundation has been laid, and the specifications and ideas for the expansion can be roughly seen, but the construction progress is still too slow.
While inspecting, Li Ming was thinking about how to improve the martial arts school in the future.
After walking for a while, we saw a desolate and empty area around us with few people passing by.
Li Ming suddenly stopped.
"You two have been following me for so long, isn't it time for you to come out and say hello?"
"Master Li is indeed extraordinary. We two have been so careful, yet Master Li still discovered our whereabouts."
Two figures appeared not far behind Li Ming and stared at him warily.
Li Ming looked normal.
"You have been in the guest room on the second floor of Tongfu Inn, secretly spying on our martial arts school for several days. Tell me, what is your purpose?"
When these words were spoken, both of them were shocked!
They thought their secret surveillance was flawless, but they didn't expect that Li Ming had already discovered it.
Suddenly, they both felt a little scared.
I thought I was in the dark and the other party was in the light.
Unexpectedly, they were the ones being observed clearly.
If Li Ming had directly caused trouble for them a few days ago, the two of them might not have had the confidence to handle it.
But now, Li Ming's reaction was a little late...
"It seems that we two have underestimated Master Li. However, we are here to borrow something from Master Li."
"What can I borrow?"
"Master Li's head!"
"Just you?"
"I wonder if it will be enough with me?"
Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared on the other side.
He was obviously a man, but he was dressed in an elegant red robe, holding a sword in his hand. The setting sun cast a long shadow on him, giving him a rather literary and artistic air.
Killer, Pinggu Yidianhong!
