Chapter 221 Divine Skills Are Difficult to Learn
When Uncle Jiu, Simu and Qianhe brought the martial arts back to Renjia Town with tired looks on their faces, Yan Xu, who had been recuperating there for many days, bowed carefully to the three of them.

Originally, they didn't need to do this. Although it was a life-saving favor, they could have repaid it in other ways. However, the three of them were still willing to escort the golden-horned bronze coffin for thousands of miles at the risk of being discovered by the Qing court, and then withstand tremendous pressure to help Yan Xu argue in front of their own teacher, so they deserved this gift.

However, now is not the time to rest. Together with Master Ikkyu, the group quietly boarded the Ren family's carriage and headed non-stop to the Magic City.

The reason for leaving in such a hurry is that the matter of the royal zombies is not that simple. No matter what the Qing Dynasty's purpose is, they will definitely not give up after investing so much.

The funeral procession has not appeared yet. Even if the Qing Dynasty was slow to react, it would probably have started an investigation.

According to the route, it was only a matter of time before they found Simu's head, so Yan Xu brought Master Ikkyu, Jiale and Qingqing to Renjia Town after the situation got a little better.

But it is not safe here either. Uncle Jiu and the other three are escorting the golden-horned bronze coffin to Maoshan. Even if they are disguised, they cannot withstand investigation, not to mention Simu. Qianhe and Uncle Jiu are fellow apprentices, so Renjia Town is also not safe. The only way to avoid the court's drastic measures is to go to the Demon City.

Although the Qing Dynasty's power in the Magic City was not weak, it did not dare to act rashly, because once it angered the foreigners, it was likely to be another righteous beating, and the foreigners would not miss any opportunity to cause trouble.

Not to mention that Yan Xu is not alone in the Magic City. Unless the imperial court dares to mobilize the army, it can't do anything to them.

Although this trip had a feeling of starting off strong but ending weakly, the gains were extremely rich. Yan Xu not only broke through the bottleneck, but also acquired a powerful skill. It can be said that although the trip was not long, the purpose had been achieved. Now he just needed a safe and quiet place to digest all the gains.

Because this incident was too big, not only Simu and Master Ikkyu, but also Uncle Jiu and Taoist Chizuru had to stay. After all, the Qing Dynasty was probably going crazy now, and once the court caught the opportunity, it would not be as simple as locking them up.

With Yan Xu's assets in the Magic City, it is naturally not a problem to accommodate a few people.

Simu and Master Ikkyu went to the Guandi Temple, because Guandi holds a divine position in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. In addition to the Guandi Emperor in the main hall, the left and right halls also enshrine the God of Wealth and the Bodhisattva of the Temple. It is just right for the two to compete with each other on each side, and pilgrims can enjoy a good show while burning incense. The money spent on incense is not wasted.

However, Uncle Jiu and Qianhe did not go to the Mazu Temple. Uncle Jiu believed that he should not accept rewards without merit. Qianhe had a special identity because he held a position in the Qing court. It would have been fine if he did not reveal his identity. Once he did, the Qing court would have a reason to intervene.

This was easy to handle. Yan Xu sent a telegram, and Mr. Ren immediately purchased the charity cemetery at a high price, allowing Uncle Jiu, who had money, to buy a house and land in the Magic City and open a coffin shop selling paper people, paper money, and coffins.

As for Qianhe, he was simply asked to take people to Hong Kong Island to plan and purchase some properties in advance.

After dealing with these things, Yan Xu began to regulate his body with the help of Yang Delin, and at the same time studied hard the Lightning Thunder Fist.

The Lightning Thunder Fist is indeed worthy of being the Maoshan's protective martial art. It perfectly combines magic and martial arts. It has both the power of magic and the advantages of martial arts, and can take into account long-range attack, close combat and control. It has almost no shortcomings, but it is difficult to learn.

After just reading the first few pages, Yan Xu completely gave up on self-study. This is no different from asking an elementary school student to learn calculus on his own.

"Ask someone to prepare the car and go to Uncle Jiu's place." Yan Xu kept the martial arts close to him and asked someone to prepare the car.

"It's not a wise move for you to go out now." Yang Delin treated Yan Xu as his own junior brother, and persuaded him. Although he had recuperated for a period of time, Yan Xu still hadn't recovered. Even though he was not as skinny as before, he didn't grow much muscle. His thick skeleton was very obvious, and even the gown on his body couldn't cover it.

The most important thing is that Yan Xu did not hide his weakness at all.

A tiger eats people. Its might alone can keep people away. But if it is a skinny and sick tiger,
So Yang Delin was not joking. If he went out, his life or death would be really unpredictable.

"Haha, I have never been a simple warrior, and I just want to see how many restless people there are in this Demon City." Yan Xu said with a sneer.

"It's good that you know this. Also, your pulse is very peculiar. Since there is no precedent, I will need to spend more time helping you figure out how to recover faster. So don't get hurt again." Yang Delin said to Yan Xu before leaving, holding a stack of medical books.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easily hurt, especially after I'm prepared." Yan Xu touched the bell around his waist and smiled.

Yan Xu has no glory as a warrior. If it is not for the purpose of tempering himself and facilitating a breakthrough, he would prefer to use firepower coverage or poison to deal with the enemy. Anyway, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with letting the enemy die unclearly.

Sitting on the carriage, Yan Xu left the house under the surveillance of many spies and came to the coffin shop run by his uncle Jiu.

This shop was naturally sold to Uncle Jiu by Yan Xu. In addition to the two-story storefront of more than 200 square meters facing the street, there is also a courtyard and two rows of side rooms at the back. It is not smaller than the charity cemetery in Renjia Town, and can accommodate many guests in addition to the three masters and apprentices.

As soon as you enter the shop, you can smell the strong aroma of incense and paper money. The shelves on both sides are filled with paper money, gold ingots, and incense sticks. In addition, paper figures, paper horses, mourning cloths, fire basins and other things are also neatly arranged, which shows that a lot of care has been put into it.

Wencai was handing paper money to an old lady. When he saw Yan Xu, he immediately smiled.

"President Yan, the master is setting up the incense hall in the back. I will take you to find the master."

"No need, I can go by myself, but why are you the only one busy in the shop, where's Qiu Sheng?"

"Qiu Sheng went to buy vegetables, and I don't know when he will be back. But I heard from Master that he wanted to buy some fish, so I will cook more. President Yan will have dinner with us." Wencai put the paper money in the old lady's basket neatly, and then said happily.

"Okay, let me try your cooking later." Yan Xu said with a smile.

Compared to the talented but impetuous Qiu Sheng, Yan Xu prefers Wencai. He is stupid, but at least he doesn't have to worry about him doing something stupid. After all, not everyone can be the Ghost Rider.

Walking through the shop to the backyard, the area here is not small, at least enough for daily martial arts practice. The several rooms on both sides can be used to place coffins and guests, and one room can be vacated as an incense hall.

The incense hall is not only the place where Uncle Jiu worships his ancestors on a daily basis, but also the place where the captured wandering ghosts are placed. Therefore, it cannot be placed on the upper floor of a shop to avoid being bumped into.
