The territory of Daliang is not very large, so the county system is implemented in the local area.

Although there are towns under the county, most of the three categories of taxation, public security, and civil affairs are now abolished, and the countryside is basically governed by martial arts sects and gentry landlords.

Wucheng is not a county town, but in terms of prosperity, it ranks third in Yunchuan County.

It is backed by the mountains of Yunchuan and stands on the east bank of the Jue River.

A hundred miles south is the largest river in Daliang, Mulongjiang.

Go upstream fifty miles to the north, step on the bank, and then walk northeast along Songxi River for seven or eight miles, and you will reach Kunwu Mountain.

Therefore, although Wucheng is not said to be connected in all directions, it can still be regarded as a place where mountains and rivers gather, with many business travelers and rivers and lakes. Thirty years ago, it was considered the sphere of influence of Wuji Dao.

Therefore, if you want to inquire about the current situation of Wuji Dao without alerting people with ulterior motives, Wucheng is the best choice.

To be cautious, when crossing the Mulong River, Su Yan asked Wu Yue to send Uncle Fu away. After crossing the river, he rented a carriage and driver again and arrived at Wucheng by land.

On the day we entered Wucheng, we passed through Yaxing and rented a house in a small courtyard.

The next morning, Wu Yue hurried back not long after she went out.

"Master, this disciple has learned some important news." Wu Yue came to Su Yan, frowning and looking solemn.

"Tell me." Wuji Dao fell from a first-rate sect to a third-rate level. Something big must have happened, so Su Yan was fully mentally prepared.

"The sect on Kunwu Mountain today is not my Wuji Dao, but the Tianle Palace."

"Tianle Palace? Is it the one founded by Master Tianle?"

Wu Yuewei said apologetically: "The disciple came back in a hurry. All I know is that the current master of Tianle Palace is named Lu Qiwei. In addition, there are three elders in the Xiantian Realm in the sect. They are the first-class sect in the martial arts world. As for the founder of the sect...

·Do you want me to inquire again?"

"No need." Su Yan said, "Lu Qiwei is the proud disciple of Master Tianle, and this Tianle Palace must be the one founded by Master Tianle.

I just didn’t expect that thirty years later, Tianle Palace not only occupied Kunwu Mountain, but also became a first-class sect. Hum.”

Su Yan's tone of voice was very calm, but Wu Yue could still feel his anger from the "hum" at the end.

Wu Yue has a high level of understanding, and has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few days. Thinking of the current situation, he can't help but worry: "Master, since Tianle Palace has occupied Kunwu Mountain, will our Wuji Dao be invaded?"

They gave…”

"Don't make any assumptions before you have investigated clearly." Su Yan directly interrupted Wu Yue, "As a teacher, I can be sure that Wuji Dao is still there, so the most important thing at the moment is to find the other disciples of the sect."

"Then disciple, let's go find out more now." Wu Yue said and was about to go out again.

Su Yan stopped her, "Don't be anxious, this matter needs long-term consideration... You first go and teach the "Thirteen Elbows of Qi Men" that I taught you in my dream last night to Tie Xiong. He is born with supernatural power and has learned this skill.

Martial arts can greatly increase your combat power."

Wu Yue nodded first after hearing this, then hesitated and asked: "Master, are you still not teaching him the techniques?"

Su Yan said: "His basic skills are acceptable, but his understanding is average. I'm afraid his progress in Wuji Kung Fu will be very slow.

But he is born with supernatural power and is very suitable for physical training. Tonight I will teach him the "Thirteen Taibao Hengqian" in my dream."

Wu Yue was happy after hearing this, "So he passed your test?"

"good."

Tie Xiong might not be able to feel it, but with Wu Yue's intelligence, how could he not see that Su Yan has been testing Tie Xiong these past few days?

But since this was Su Yan's intention, even as Master Tie Xiong, she couldn't point it out.

Now that she knows that Iron Bear has passed the test, she is naturally happy.

When Wu Yue went out, Zhang Jin was thinking about Tianle Palace.

Master Tianle, the founder of the Tianle Palace sect, entered Xiantian twenty years before him, so he can be regarded as his predecessor.

However, after Master Tianle entered the Xiantian realm, his progress was slower than his. Until he entered the Xiantian realm, Master Tianle was only at the second level of Xiantian.

Later, before he went to sea with the fourth level of innate power, he once heard someone mention that Master Tianle showed his strength once, and he was only at the third level of innate power.

At that time, Master Tianle was already over 120 years old. Unless he found some way to extend his life, it would be difficult for him to live past 150 years.

But he never expected that Master Tianle's Tianle Palace would later occupy his Kunwu Mountain.

It is said that he and Master Tianle have only met three times in total, and there is no enmity. Could it be that Tianle Palace is concerned about the wealth of Wuji Tao?

Su Yan was a little confused about Tianle Palace occupying Kunwu Mountain.

However, he can be sure that even if the decline of Wuji Dao is not directly related to Tianle Palace, it must be indirectly related.

Even if there is no relationship at all, just because Tianle Palace occupies Kunwu Mountain, he will not be polite to Tianle Palace in the future.

···

Inexplicably coming to a place full of gray fog, Iron Bear instinctively became vigilant.

"Iron Bear."

A somewhat familiar voice came. Tie Xiong looked at it and said in surprise: "Master?"

He was surprised not only where he saw Su Yan, but also because Su Yan was standing there properly and looking at him with a smile, which was completely different from the usual situation where he would sit cross-legged and not even move his eyelids.

"It's me." Su Yan nodded with a smile.

Tie Xiong finally came to his senses and paid homage: "Tie Xiong pays homage to Master! Master, how are you? Also, where are we?"

"I brought you here using the method of entering a dream, so you and I are both in a dream." Su Yan explained first, and then said directly: "This time you enter a dream, I want to teach you a horizontal training called Hengqing.

"Thirteen Taibao Henglian".

It uses Qi refining to assist body training, and it involves cultivating a breath of Qi. It is much simpler than ordinary Qi training methods, but it can temper and nourish your internal organs, making you strong and strong quickly.

External training uses secret medicine combined with row beating to exercise your muscles, bones and skin, greatly increasing your defense. With time, you won’t even be afraid of being hacked by a knife or stabbed by a sword..."

The next day, Wu Yue came to greet Su Yan after morning exercise, wiped his face and combed his hair.

In fact, Su Yan has observed that his body's metabolism seems to have stopped now, and no sweat stains or other filth will be produced.

But he couldn't stop the dust from falling on his body. This was how Wu Yue saw him covered in dust in the cave.

So, while fully clothed, he only needs to scrub his face and neck every day.

After Wu Yue poured out the wash water and came back, Su Yan sent a message: "I see that the true energy in your body is running smoothly in the twelve main meridians, which means that the state of the acquired four levels has been stabilized. It's time to try to open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

Pulse, impact on the fifth level of the day after tomorrow.

There is a bottle of Qi Accumulating Pill here, which can strengthen the true energy and is suitable for assisting the cultivation of the acquired fourth level to the acquired sixth level.

But remember, every time you take the next Qi-Yun Dan, you must wait until the true energy in the body is flowing freely, without any ambiguity, before you can take the second one."

While saying this, a small white jade bottle appeared on the ground in front of Su Yan, with three handsome characters written on it, which was "Qi Yun Dan".

Wu Yue responded: "Disciple must remember this."

Then he picked up this bottle of Qi Accumulating Pill.

Su Yan added: "You should have three more Peiyuan Pills, right? I can give them to Iron Bear in your name."

"Yes." Wu Yue nodded, and then asked: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Of course. Next, I will tell you how to find out the news about Wuji Dao. You need to remember it carefully..."

Wangshui Tower.

The largest restaurant in Wucheng.

There is a cloister-style building outside for ordinary guests to dine. It not only has a good environment, but also has a large capacity.

Inside the cloister is a small garden, in which a three-story pavilion stands. This is the real Wangshui Tower, a place where only distinguished guests are received.

Huang Sansheng looked away from the attic.

He knew that he could not go there yet, but he swore that one day he would sit on the top floor of Wangshui Tower and have a meal.

Then he remembered the adventure of the morning.

He was originally a poor and down-to-earth scholar. Because he was too poor, he was still single even in his thirties. He relied on writing letters for others on the street to make ends meet.

This morning, like most other times, he earned less than five cents and could only buy a handful of leeks to make lunch - there was an old woman at home who had to take care of a woman who was handicapped due to a stroke.

But just as he was about to close the stall, a man wearing a black burqa and a gauze hat came to the stall and placed half a tael of broken silver directly on his table.

"Help me do something, here's the deposit."

Judging from the voice of a woman and looking at her attire, Huang Sansheng felt that the other party was probably a charlatan.

Therefore, even though he was jealous of the piece of silver, he still said cautiously: "What is it? I won't do it if it's dangerous."

The woman said: "You only need to go to Wangjiang Tower to inquire about the news. There will be no danger."

"What news are you asking for?"

"About Wuji Dao."

"Wuji Tao?" Huang Sansheng also knew some famous martial arts sects, but he had never heard of Wuji Tao.

The woman said slowly: "Before Tianle Palace, Wuji Dao was on Mount Kunwu, and it was the first-class martial arts sect thirty years ago.

I want to know where Wuji Dao is now, and why Wuji Dao left Kunwu Mountain in the first place. If I can’t find out these two things, it would be great if there is news about Wuji Dao’s disciples.”
