Ten Thousand Mile Villa.
As the Wu Mountain headquarters of the Golden Wing Tower, the secrecy of the Ten Thousand Mile Villa is beyond doubt; apart from its internal staff, no one knows about it.
Although Xiang Ling had betrayed her own people, she hadn't let the Huang Family's higher-ups know about this place.
As an intelligence organization, the headquarters of Golden Wing Tower stores a large number of important files, and the consequences of such exposure would be unimaginable.
Therefore, no matter how greedy Xiang Ling is, she doesn't dare to easily cross this red line.
Ten Thousand Mile Villa is nestled among the mountains, with the surrounding trees forming a canopy that obscures most of its buildings.
The occasional exposed rooftops of buildings are also covered with a large amount of green plants such as climbing vines.
If you stand a little further away, you can't tell where the wall is and where the tree is.
The entire Mountain Villa is divided into three main areas: the intelligence area, the public area, and the restricted area.
The intelligence zone is where intelligence is stored, exchanged, and organized. It consists of several buildings, each with its own dedicated storage area for categorized intelligence.
The common area is where intelligence personnel can completely relax and unwind. It's quite large, featuring a small garden, a small lake, rows of private rooms, and an entertainment-oriented library.
The final restricted area is where the upper echelons of the Golden Wing Tower rest and live, and it also stores the most confidential and important documents and personnel.
The restricted area is generally only accessible to Spirit Envoy and Double Eagle. The Dungeon and vaults within it typically store precious artifacts and items left behind by successive Spirit Envoy and Double Eagle.
It was getting dark.
First Squad of members from the Zheng Lou were continuously carrying the information obtained by the Huang Family into the restricted area.
And they are stored in a special Data Vault.
Zhang Rongfang stood by the basement, with the short-statured Bao Ning beside him.
"These are all materials and books obtained by the Huang Family?"
"Yes, sir. These are all resources obtained through the cooperation between the Huang Family and Sea Dragon," Bao Ning replied. "We dare not turn to them without your permission, but these booklets are kept in excellent condition and with extreme care by the Huang Family, so they are most likely genuine."
Zhang Rongfang nodded.
Before he came, he didn't think the Huang Family had much, but after seeing it for himself, he realized.
The Huang Family truly lives up to its reputation as a top Great Clans that has dominated Wushan Prefecture for so many years.
Its profound knowledge and experience are truly extraordinary.
He casually took a small Little Booklet from the arms of a passing assassin and gently flipped through it.
The booklet describes a special training method, but this is not an ordinary method; it is a method of replenishing yang by absorbing yin.
The Huang Family could easily find a ton of such techniques.
Moreover, the various methods differ, and the final results recorded also vary. Most are used to prolong life and strengthen the body.
Putting the booklet back, Zhang Rongfang sighed, "Let's go, let's go see the special secret you mentioned."
"Yes." Bao Ning bowed his head and then led the way.
His short body swayed as he walked, and he was only as tall as a normal person's thigh.
But no one dared to discriminate against or look down on him.
Because before this, anyone who had discriminated against him had lost their tongue and eyes.
Bao Ning was born into the Death Warrior System, but after the Wu Mountain assassins were corrupted, he slowly began to come into contact with the outside world.
So he gradually developed his own little schemes.
Behind his elder Duan Gu, he secretly learned martial arts from outsiders and quietly seized a large amount of wealth to support his own martial arts training.
He had always been extremely disdainful of Duan Gu, who was becoming increasingly reckless. Although Duan Gu was highly talented, he did not know how to advance or retreat, and sooner or later he would cause trouble.
And now, everything has indeed proven his prediction correct.
Now that Duan Gu has lost an arm and is seriously injured, his strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. Even if he was originally Eighth Grade, he is now only about half as good as Duan Gu.
And he's still young! He has an even brighter future ahead of him!
The two walked into the underground parking garage one after the other.
The basement is a cylindrical, vast space buried underground.
The inner walls have undergone special treatment and consist of more than ten different materials forming the walls.
It also contained a large number of desiccant packs that can absorb moisture.
This is a warehouse specifically for storing books and other written materials.
The ground entrance is a black tomb entrance shaped like a triangular pyramid.
Once inside, there are long, narrow staircases leading down to the underground.
Zhang Rongfang stopped in his tracks as he looked inside from the entrance.
"Are there any other entrances or exits below?" he asked seriously.
"Yes, sir," Bao Ning replied. "The security requirements here are extremely high, so this setup is essential."
Zhang Rongfang stood at the entrance and carefully looked around.
"I dare not go in. You go in and take out the Huang Family's information."
He didn't move, but looked at Bao Ning.
Such a narrow entrance could cause problems if other entrances or exits inside malfunction.
All we need to do is smash and block this passage.
Even if he had extraordinary abilities, he would starve to death inside.
A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall.
Although he was not a gentleman, he still deeply agreed with this.
Bao Ning was slightly taken aback, not daring to show any emotion, and bowed her head in response before taking the initiative to leave.
As the newly appointed assassin Black Eagle, he is qualified to enter.
What surprised him was that this new Spirit Envoy, who had previously been extremely bloodthirsty and arrogant, was actually quite different from the others.
At this moment, however, he did not care about his reputation at all and bluntly said that he dared not.
This frankness and contrast left a very deep impression on him.
After Bao Ning went down, Zhang Rongfang carefully walked around the entrance, checking every detail.
Then they had someone retrieve the underground structure drawings of the basement to study the whole structure.
A short while later, Bao Ning emerged from the passageway, holding a stack of brand-new, pale yellow Little Booklet.
He handed the booklet to Zhang Rongfang.
The two of them didn't leave; they just stood to the side and began to turn the contents over little by little.
Bao Ning stood respectfully to the side, waiting quietly.
Amidst the rustling sound of pages turning.
Zhang Rongfang's brows gradually furrowed, and his gaze became increasingly serious.
These booklets are private letters written by Sea Dragon Qing Jiao to Huang Zhenyi, the former head of the Huang Family, over several decades.
Qing Jiao and Huang Zhenyi have been close friends for many years, which laid a solid foundation for the alliance between Wushan Sea Dragon and the Huang Family.
These brochures were initially just simple greetings and introductory information.
However, the subsequent content inadvertently revealed the two's plans for future development.
The exchange of letters took place many years ago.
They were both young at that time.
Looking at the contents of the booklet, Zhang Rongfang's doubts not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
"Bao Ning".
"Your subordinate is here!" Bao Ning immediately bowed his head and replied.
"Do you know about the Zen Heart Spirit Replenishing Liquid?"
"I know. This is a supreme- Treasure Medicine for nourishing the mind and spirit within the Sea Dragon. It is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. Even among the internal experts, only a very few are qualified to purchase it," Bao Ning replied quickly.
"Sea Dragon Qing Jiao, is he from the Western Sect?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"Yes, Qing Jiao is a branch of the Western Sect Fragrant Buddha Drinking, and its Sandalwood Azure Rain Palm is the standard inherited martial art of the Fragrant Buddha Drinking lineage," Bao Ning affirmed.
Zhang Rongfang understood.
He found some extremely important information in these booklets.
This information was quite important to him at that moment.
Because at this moment, he was at a point where he didn't know how to break through the threshold of Super Grade.
During the month he spent with Heavenly Maiden Tong Zhang, he learned that the Super Grade was only a large-scale product.
Anyone who breaks through the Ninth Grade rank is classified as Super Grade.
However, to break through to the Super Grade, we can only look at two points.
First: Physical strength surpassing the Ninth Grade.
Second: To develop a martial arts style that perfectly suits oneself.
The booklet in his hand mentioned the first key point.
How to surpass the physical qualities that have reached the peak after reaching the Ninth Grade.
From Sea Dragon Qing Jiao's mention, he learned that the Western Sect seemed to possess Secret Art could forcibly break through to the Ninth Grade rank of physical fitness.
This Secret Art involves taking external medicines to stimulate the body, combined with specific practices, to ultimately produce a reaction.
In the booklet, Qing Jiao mentioned a Treasure Medicine called Zen Heart Spirit Replenishing Liquid.
This is one of the core drugs for the Western Sect's breakthrough to the Super Grade.
In his words, it was clear that for the sake of this Zen Heart Spirit Replenishing Liquid, he had no choice but to agree to be transferred to Wushan Prefecture and stay there for ten years before he could leave.
Furthermore, the letter booklet also mentioned that Western Sect needed to find the corresponding spiritual person to break through to the Super Grade.
Those who are spiritually enlightened are called "Ming King) for men and "Ming Consort" (bright consort) for women.
Men are associated with strength, women with wisdom.
The stronger and more outstanding a spiritual person is, the more benefits one will receive from practicing with them.
Qing Jiao had been searching for his own Ming Consort). Unfortunately, even as he grew older and his health declined, he still hadn't found her.
He ultimately stopped at the Ninth Grade.
Originally, I thought I was only staying in Wushan Prefecture temporarily, but I never expected that I would stay for decades.
After reading through all the booklets and selecting the information, Zhang Rongfang encountered it for the first time.
Mysterious forces like the Western Sect possess methods for breaking through to the Super Grade.
Although it was only mentioned briefly, it made him realize that in the eyes of the higher-ups, many things that ordinary people simply could not imagine had already been thoroughly summarized.
The success rate also increases significantly.
This is a monopoly.
After closing the last booklet, Zhang Rongfang didn't look at it anymore.
"Compile the Huang Family's Martial Arts Manual, then see which ones are complete and which ones can be supplemented by others. Allocate them accordingly."
"Yes."
Without saying another word, Zhang Rongfang turned and left.
It now seems that the Ling Ting and other major forces definitely have many more Super Grade experts.
As a high-ranking official in a certain region who has access to such top-secret information, Qing Jiao is definitely not the only one behind him.
He has only just wiped out the Sea Dragon Qing Jiao, so he can keep it a secret for a while, but he will definitely provoke retaliation from the Sea Dragon's upper echelons later.
Therefore, he must ensure that he retains the ability to protect himself as soon as possible.
Although he also sent intelligence to the headquarters, Zhang Rongfang was never the type to rely on others for his personal safety.
"Let's wait and see. If I reach the Golden Core Stage but there are still not many changes in my body, and I can't break through to the Super Grade, then I'll try to cultivate a new movement technique as well!"
Zhang Rongfang made up his mind.
They had just seized so many martial arts techniques from the Huang Family, including many movement techniques that were not available on the market.
Although he had no teacher to instruct him, with his current level of skill, as long as there were no hidden secrets, he could guess the answer with a little exploration.
Once the Talisman Art are completed, you can choose to try some that cause less damage to the body.
As long as it's not a combination of internal and external cultivation, it won't affect the Breaking Limits level. At most, it will only damage your life.
However, it significantly improves overall strength.
