"This is the Golden Seal Pill, effective for those below the Ninth Grade, and can heal the fundamental damage caused by your dual cultivation of martial arts."
Try taking it; it might slightly restore your damaged constitution and give you another chance to Breaking Limits.
However, this pill can only be taken once; any subsequent use will render it highly poisonous. Remember this.
Ye Bai replied simply.
"Let's go back." She turned away gently, no longer looking at Zhang Rongfang.
This means that their week-long teaching session has come to an end.
Zhang Rongfang held the Golden Seal Pill, which had previously been given the option to choose between martial arts and the pill itself.
But to my surprise, in the end, they were all given to him.
These kinds of pills can replenish the lost Breaking Limits grade, and their value is undoubtedly far greater than the medicinal soups and pills he had taken before.
If such a bottle were truly effective, it would probably be worth more than a thousand gold pieces.
"Thank you for the medicine, sir." He didn't say anything more.
If this medicine is truly effective, then he will surely be rewarded in the future. If this medicine harbors malicious intent, then he will also be punished in the same way.
Furthermore, even Xu Miaotong only mastered three levels of it. If the subsequent Golden Roc Secret Record cannot be obtained now, it is unknown how long it will take to get the complete version in the future.
I've already joined the Golden Wing Tower, so I can only wait and see if I can find another opportunity later.
Soon, Zhang Rongfang retraced his steps and left the temple.
Ye Bai stood alone in the dojo, picked up the Iron Flute in his hand, and gently played a tune.
The flute music was flat and straightforward, without any ripples, like a cup of lightly poured tea—neither pleasant nor unpleasant to listen to.
Before long, a Black-Clad Man suddenly appeared in the shadows of the dojo and slowly walked out.
"My lord, it is my fault for failing to conduct a proper investigation, which has disappointed you."
A figure emerged, revealing himself to be Xu Miaotong, who was wearing Black Mask.
After receiving Zhang Rongfang's information, she was shocked and immediately reported it to the authorities, which led Ye Bai to come in person.
But the result... "My lord, Zhang Rongfang is able to cultivate so many low-grade martial arts on his own, his comprehension must be extremely strong. Even if he has gone down the wrong path, is there really no hope for him in the future?" Xu Miaotong asked, still somewhat puzzled.
"That's why I gave him the Golden Seal Pill. Even if it can't make up for it, it can at least keep his heart meridian safe," Ye Bai said calmly.
"But what if he really can break through the limit in the future?" Xu Miaotong said somewhat unwillingly, "With his comprehension, once he finds a way to break through the limit, he might very well become the second Han Shisan!"
"You're mistaken. His comprehension isn't particularly strong," Ye Bai shook his head. "However..."
She paused.
"If he can truly break through his limits in the future and become the second Han Shisan."
"At that time, I will make an exception and accept him as a guard."
"Guards?!?" Xu Miaotong's expression tightened beneath his mask.
She truly understood the weight of those words.
If Zhang Rongfang break through the limits and become a bodyguard of the adults, it will truly be a meteoric rise. To outsiders, he may just be a bodyguard, nothing special.
But only Xu Miaotong understood that, setting aside Ye Bai's identity within the Golden Wing Tower, Ye Bai's true identity was not something that just any martial arts master could qualify him to be his bodyguard. After all, even the strongest martial arts master was only so-so. In this world, what ultimately decides everything is still the Ling Ting.
*** Black Ten Sect, Saint Luofa Church.
The burly Annuowa sat cross-legged in front of a black coffin with gold trim.
The knife was placed horizontally on her knee.
The liquor dripped down her chin and chest onto the blade.
Bang.
She placed the wine jar heavily on the ground beside her, her eyes red as she stared at the coffin.
"After all these days, this is all the damn clues you've found for me?! Where's Red Dog King?!"
Her irritable voice echoed in the small hall, causing the surrounding furnishings to tremble slightly.
"The leader, Red Dog King, was found dead a few days ago on the Official Road from Huaxin County to Tanyang."
A woman wearing a black veil and carrying a knife stepped forward, bowed, and reported.
"Dead?" Annuowa gripped the hilt of her knife and stood up.
"So our money is just going down the drain?"
"However, we also found a clue. Among the people the Grand Elder offended before his death, the most likely murderers are none other than those few skilled martial artists with good agility," the woman with the knife analyzed.
"There aren't many people in the entire Tanyang City who can fight you, Chief, and only be slightly at a disadvantage."
"Furthermore, the Grand Elder was once held hostage by the Ministry of Justice. Could he have been a master from the Ministry of Justice?"
Annuowa remained silent.
That style and demeanor didn't seem like someone from the Ministry of Justice. If the Ministry of Justice wanted to touch her father, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble; Li Ran has plenty of methods.
"However, after integrating all the intelligence records, we found that there are three people who are the most suspicious."
"Speak!" Annuowa said impatiently.
"The first one Soaring Swan Sword Chen Xuguan's from the True One Sect. He is Seventh Grade master specializing in movement techniques, and his style is very similar to what you described, leader. He has a high level of skill in the Dragon Snake Movement Technique."
The second is Golden Coin Spear Wei Feng. He has been living in seclusion in Tanyang for over ten years. His movements are unpredictable and strange, and he was rated as Seventh Grade more than ten years ago.
In recent years, our people have noticed that Wei Feng leaves early and returns late, his whereabouts are a mystery, and we don't know what kind of work he is doing.
However, because it excels with spears rather than swords, it is ranked second.
Thirdly, regarding Zhang Ying, the prison commander who kidnapped the Grand Elder, our investigation into Zhang Ying revealed a very interesting phenomenon. The woman with the knife on her back paused.
"The one who slashed my dad's neck?" Annuowa also remembered this person.
She wanted to take revenge afterward. Unfortunately, before she could even set off, something even bigger happened.
"Yes." The woman with the sword on her back nodded. The Black Ten Sect's informants were spread throughout the city; investigating someone couldn't be easier.
"I have discovered that Zhang Ying, who initially came from Huaxin County, has been harassed by the higher-ups Mountain Opening Daoist, after entering the Mingjing Palace of the Great Dao Sect."
Afterwards, the Mountain Opening Daoist died mysteriously. He successfully escaped and entered the Ministry of Justice.
Inside the Ministry of Justice, he clashed with his superior, Lin Qixiao was subsequently dismissed.
He was promoted to the rank of Captain.
Then, in our Black Ten Sect, the Grand Elder led a team to surround him, and now... the Grand Elder has mysteriously died."
As she finished speaking, Annuowa's eyes grew increasingly cold.
If it's just a coincidence, then it really is just a coincidence.
But once, twice, and now three times.
How could someone be so lucky in just one year? All sorts of good things seem to pile up at once.
His opponents seem to have taken the blame for all the bad things.
These days, nobody's a fool.
"Zhang Ying is definitely suspicious!" Annuowa said decisively.
"Yes. We were commissioned by the Lin Family to investigate this person before. He seemed to go to brothels in the middle of the night, but in reality, he only actually entered a brothel two or three times out of ten. The rest of the time, he disappeared without a trace."
"Because there are so many brothels, we've only managed to find one or two, so we can't pinpoint the exact route yet." The woman nodded.
"He's just a Third Grade, he doesn't have that much ability. He must have someone backing him." Annuowa guessed the truth instantly.
"My subordinates and others have also concluded that this is the case."
Tracing Zhang Ying's identity back to its source reveals no trace. His connection to the case was mysteriously severed in Huaxin County.
His hometown is a place called E'shan Village, which was completely abandoned after being flooded three years ago.
"Oh?" Annuowa's eyes flickered.
"We also found out that an uprising broke out in Seven Counties as soon as this person arrived in Tanyang. It's very likely that people from those Seven Counties came here to escape." The woman continued.
"Go check it out. There are only so many experts in Tanyang. Those who suddenly appear are likely outsiders."
Such audacity might be related to the bandits who rebelled in the Seven Counties,"Annuowa said coldly.
"Yes."
"The hatred for the murderer of my father is irreconcilable! Just you wait. No matter who you are."
Annuowa stared at the candlestick in the corner, her eyes seemingly burning with a fiery light.
On the way back, Zhang Rongfang kept memorizing the Golden Roc Secret Record, afraid of missing any details.
Back home, after washing up, I lay down on the bed to rest.
But before he could lie down for even an hour, he was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Thump, thump, thump! Zhang Rongfang quickly grabbed his knife, put on his clothes and shoes, walked to the courtyard gate, and suddenly opened it.
Standing outside the door was Chen Hansheng from Ninth Squad.
He was panting heavily, leaning against the door frame, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Team Captain! Urgent mission!"
"Let's go!" Zhang Rongfang said without hesitation.
Emergency missions are very rare, but when they do occur, they are always major cases.
They were in the Ministry of Justice, where so-called major cases generally involved the escort and interrogation of extremely important and serious criminals.
He quickly packed his things, grabbed his weapons, and followed Chen Hansheng to the Ministry of Justice.
Cross one street and you'll find the gates of the Ministry of Justice.
First Squad of people kept entering through the side gate.
Zhang Rongfang and Chen Hansheng quickly went inside and returned to the small building of the Ninth Squad.
"Line up!"
All team members lined up in a row.
Two people who live far away haven't arrived yet, but the rest are all here.
At this time, Captain Zhang Xiangyang, also distributed the precautions and mission objectives to their respective teams.
'Assist the government Official Messenger in searching for a man and a woman.'
The mission objective also included portraits of the two individuals.
The man was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, narrow eyes, tightly pursed lips, and a notched scar on one ear.
The woman was very young, with thin eyebrows, shoulder-length hair, and her eyes curved at the corners as if she was always smiling.
"The targets Huang Yuzhen and Jingying. Both are fugitives, serious offenders. Once you see them, don't chase after them rashly. Immediately set off fireworks to pinpoint their approximate location! Understand?"
Zhang Rongfang gave a speech.
"Yes!"
A group of team members responded with loud shouts.
Soon, Zhang Rongfang led his men to the surrounding area to search passersby and various places where people gathered.
For the remaining residences, Official Messenger went door-to-door to inquire.
This is an even bigger spectacle than the previous disappearance of the richest man's daughter.
During their patrol, the members of Ninth Squad were all speculating about the origins of these two individuals.
"Team Zhang, something's not right with these two," Chen Hansheng whispered as he approached.
"What?" Zhang Rongfang asked calmly.
"No background, no connections, no identity, not even a crime. And they expect us to find them."
"But what happened after we found them? They didn't tell us to arrest them. They just sent a signal immediately," Chen Hansheng whispered.
"Why bother with all this? We just follow orders from above." Zhang Rongfang was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters.
He's just someone who carries out orders.
Moreover, recently his attention has not been on that at all, but rather on his martial arts.
I've mastered the Flame Emperor Talisman. Now I just need to wait for some attribute points to Breaking Limits.
However, the information he received from Ye Bai of the Golden Wing Tower was that he could only Breaking Limits eight times at most.
Once the limit of the Flame Emperor Talisman Breaking Limits, it will be exactly eight times. At that time, he wants to see what will happen to him.
We should also see if the Attribute Points can break through the limits.
If possible, how can we break through this barrier?
