Zheng Family's Ambition and Jiang Liu's Successful Skeletal Enhancement
While everyone's attention was focused on Mo Province, the Zheng Family, who had just gained a foothold in Dui Province, set their sights on dominating Dui Province.
Although the Zheng Family's development in Tian Province was not smooth before, so their wealth was not as great as that of the Ji Family or the Ye family, they only had three Grandmaster.
However, the Zheng Family also has its own advantages, namely, they have far more Minor Grandmaster than the Ji Family and Ye families.
Currently, there are only six Grandmaster in Dui Province, and the Zheng Family accounts for three of them.
Zheng Xueyi is now regretting why he didn't move away from Tian Province sooner and come to Dui Province instead.
Although Dui Province is poorer and has fewer people, the Zheng Family alone is powerful enough to dominate the entire prefecture!
The thought of being able to dominate an entire province filled Zheng Xueyi with immense excitement.
After all, being a local tyrant in a prefecture is far more powerful than being subservient to others.
Then it wouldn't be like it is now, where even if you want to dominate a province, you still have to fight against the Moonfall Sect, the Sword Worship Villa, and the Hundred Fists Gate to determine the winner.
However, the Zheng Family still has a chance to dominate the entire Dui Province.
After all, the other side is a three-way alliance, and if anything goes wrong along the way, their alliance could be destroyed in an instant.
Zheng Xueyi has now sent people to contact Sword Worship Villa and Hundred Fists Gate respectively.
The reason why the Moonfall Sect singled out is because Zheng Xueyi had previously caused them great trouble in Tian Province.
Therefore, Zheng Xueyi knew that even if he proposed a new alliance to the Moonfall Sect now, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Therefore, Zheng Xueyi simply stopped doing that futile work and directly sent people to contact the Hundred Fists Gate and the Sword Worship Villa.
As for whether this differentiation strategy will be effective, Zheng Xueyi believes that the results will be known soon.
A day later, Zheng Xueyi received a reply; both families rejected his private request to meet.
Upon hearing this news, Zheng Xueyi smiled happily.
Because he specifically chose to send someone to invite her when Fu Yunyue was present.
According to the information he had gathered, Fu Yunyue had been discussing matters with the Fist Saint and the Sword Saint during this period.
He wanted to let Fu Yunyue know that if her Moonfall Sect did not submit to the Zheng Family join forces with them to fight against the Fist Saint and the Sword Saint...
Then he would join forces with the Fist Saint or the Sword Saint to fight them together.
After all, it's impossible for three people to have completely aligned thoughts; each of them will have their own agenda.
For the sake of their own interests, Zheng Xueyi believed that they would make choices that were advantageous to them.
Because they simply dared not gamble on whether the other two forces allied with them would betray them.
This was Zheng Xueyi's blatant, overt scheme, leaving them no choice but to fall for it.
This is something that can only be achieved by relying on the Zheng Family's resources and foundation.
And things unfolded exactly as Zheng Xueyi had predicted.
Soon, the Hundred Fists Gate, the Sword Worship Villa, and the Moonfall Sect each sent people to seek an alliance with the Zheng Family.
The Zheng Family also agreed to form alliances with them, and thus the entire Dui Province was completely controlled by the alliance of forces led by the Zheng Family.
After pacifying Dui Province, the Zheng Family also fulfilled their promises to the Moonfall Sect, the Hundred Fists Gate, and the Sword Worship Villa.
After all, in the current environment of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is difficult for a single force to survive, especially now that the Martial Prohibition Hall has taken the initiative to attack Mo Province.
The main point is that the Zheng Family alone cannot control such a large territory as Dui Province, and they have already accumulated more profits than they can afford to consume.
However, it is unclear what will happen if the situation changes again, and in what direction it will develop.
That night, after Jiang Liu finished strengthening the last bone, a golden light flashed across his body.
Meteor, Yun Yue, Tang Wanyu, Chen Xiaoyun, and the others who were sitting cross-legged and cultivating to the side were all taken aback when they saw Jiang Liu.
They hadn't expected Jiang Liu to make such a fast progress; how long had it been?
Jiang Liu had already completed the strengthening of his entire skeleton, while they had only strengthened a few bones so far.
Is the gap between people really that big? Elder Liuxing and the others fell into deep self-doubt.
However, the way Tang Wanyu looked at Jiang Liu was different from the others; her gaze was so gentle it seemed to drip with tenderness.
Jiang Liu had no time to pay attention to other people's reactions. He was unaware that when he finished strengthening his bones, a strange change had occurred in his body.
He is now examining his entire skeletal structure inch by inch, comparing it to his condition before the body strengthening and training.
He discovered that after his bones were strengthened, the circulation of vital energy within his body became much faster.
Moreover, it seems that the amount of vital energy that the bones in his body can hold is much greater than before, a discovery that greatly surprised Jiang Liu.
It is important to know that the capacity of the bones to hold vital energy is limited, but now that they have been strengthened, they can hold more vital energy.
That means that after strengthening, not only did the strength of the bones increase, but it also indirectly improved one's own strength.
In essence, battles between martial artists involve utilizing physical attributes, vital energy, and mental strength.
If the martial artists are of the same level, the one with more vital energy will usually win.
Unless a person's mental strength is a level higher, the victor will always be the one with the largest reserve of vital energy.
The reason Jiang Liu has always been able to defeat enemies of the same level is that his mental strength has always been higher than that of his peers, which is an undeniable fact.
Now, the bones contain more vital energy, which can be used not only in battle.
Furthermore, with more vital energy stored in the bones, the bones become harder.
During regular cultivation, the vital energy within the bones can also be utilized, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Liu's cultivation speed is faster than others.
Of course, there are many reasons why Jiang Liu's cultivation speed has always been so fast.
However, it is undeniable that the amount of vital energy stored in his body has always been more than one to two times that of others.
More importantly, Jiang Liu also has the Data Face as a backup. If Jiang Liu's vital energy is depleted, the Data Face will feed back vital energy to Jiang Liu.
Now that the bone strengthening is complete, Jiang Liu can feel the strength of the bones in his body, which is at least several times stronger than before.
This is why Jiang Liu put in so much hard work to achieve this goal.
Now that the bones in the whole body have been successfully strengthened, the next step is to continue to draw upon the Star Power to strengthen the blood vessels throughout the body.
This will be an even more massive project, and Jiang Liu has no idea how long it will take to complete.
After all, there are far more blood vessels than bones, unlike the physical training before Entry Grade where only Blood Exchange is needed.
