[Martial Arts Holy Land Bright Moon Pavilion, Found the Mountain Gate]

Xu Sheng spoke of his graduation with a somewhat bashful expression.

Bright Moon Pavilion is a Martial Arts Holy Land with a very prominent reputation in the Martial World of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Every once in a while, it widely opens its Mountain Gate to accept disciples.

Generally, it involves three years as an Outer Sect Disciple to temper the temperament and ensure they are not evildoers.

Then, three years as a Formal Disciple, during which introductory Martial Arts are taught to test their aptitude and comprehension.

After this, only those who perform adequately will become Inner Sect Disciples, able to cultivate the sect's True Inheritance Martial Arts and even Sect-Protecting Skill.

However, after three years as a Formal Disciple, those who show poor aptitude and comprehension will be advised to leave the sect.

Of course, they would never say it that way publicly.

The official statement is that after six years of practice, this disciple has achieved some success in Martial Arts and is ready to venture into the Martial World.

Formal Disciples can act in the name of the sect, invoke the sect's prestige when in danger, and if killed for no reason, the sect's experts will help seek justice. If their descendants have talent in Martial Arts, they can also be sent back to the sect to learn.

Of course, these Formal Disciples enjoy the sect's benefits but must also abide by the sect's basic rules and not do anything evil that would tarnish the sect's reputation.

A drone followed far ahead of the ship, the coordinates for opening the Gates to Heavens constantly changing, maintaining a distance of one kilometer from the ship.

Xu Sheng bid farewell.

That sentence referred to Zi Yi ordering only a bowl of plain noodles for the previous meal.

Xu Sheng saw Zi Yi's slight embarrassment and praised with a smile, "Bright Moon Pavilion is a Martial World gathering Holy Land, even someone like you who is isolated in a corner has heard of it. Brother Jingguan being able to practice Martial Arts in such a Fengping Holy Land is also an enviable opportunity."

At the same time, he took out a small silver ingot of seventy taels and stuffed it into Zi Yi's sleeve.

While speaking, Zi Yi smiled and took out the wine and meat he had bought at the Qihui County pier, took a bite himself first, and then invited Senior Brother Zhao.

"First, calculate the coordinates of Coastal County."

Xu Sheng controlled the drone to patrol over the county town, and soon it arrived near the pier. The drone landed on a hidden rooftop near the pier and then began to stand by.

Then, he asked casually, "I see that Brother Jingguan's skills are extraordinary, so why is he in such straits? As a Martial Arts practitioner, being constantly underfed can damage one's Qi and blood."

"Farewell."

People like Xu Sheng, who have some industries in hand, possess a certain amount of martial power, and have a good relationship with local officials, fall into the category of local powerhouses, but they are still many levels below Bright Moon Pavilion, a Martial Arts Holy Land.

Does this Zi Yi really seem to be short of money?

To maintain a strong physique, the daily consumption of food must naturally be greater.

"Don't look at my ordinary Martial Arts aptitude, but my child has shown extraordinary talent and may be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple in the future."

Such a young man is sure to have a great future.

If he was lucky enough to capture the scene of a Bright Moon Pavilion expert imparting the Sect-Protecting Skill to a disciple, it would be a huge profit.

"This trip to Linze County is to deliver goods and, by the way, go to Bright Moon Pavilion to send my child money to buy nourishing medicinal materials. Now that the ship is about to depart, I should take my leave."

Today, Xu Sheng made an exception and started staying up late. He took a tablet to read novels while occasionally glancing at the images transmitted back by the drone's night vision lens.

Through the drone's lens, Xu Sheng could clearly see Zi Yi carrying his luggage off the ship and finding a lit room in a corner of the pier.

Xu Sheng still hadn't gone to sleep, resuming his posture of reading novels on his tablet after recovering, only occasionally glancing at the drone's camera to confirm that his target, Zi Yi, was still there.

"After sleeping all the way from Linze County, I'm not sleepy now. I bought some wine and meat on the way, and if Brother Qi doesn't mind, we can eat and drink together to get through this long night."

If one doesn't eat enough for a long time, their physique will weaken, and eventually, their Qi and blood will decline to a level not much stronger than that of a weakling.

Zi Yi did need money, his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't speak.

Seven hundred meters above Coastal County, the drone quietly emerged.

Before today, Xu Sheng only had a superficial understanding of the affairs of the Martial World of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, he heard Zi Yi bid farewell.

A smile appeared on his face, feeling that this newly acquainted friend was truly eloquent.

Immediately, he continued the previous topic: "Before I came to Linze County, I once met Senior Brother Gao as an escort, and I heard him talk about the reasons for his actions."

Rumor has it that the current seven great Martial Arts Holy Lands, Bright Moon Pavilion, Divine Sword Pavilion, Fallen Flower Valley, and Azure Wave Palace, are all inextricably linked to the Great Zhou Founder who established the Great Zhou Dynasty one hundred and eighty years ago.

Xu Sheng's praise was not just flattery.

"If he's impatient, he'll probably contact the Bright Moon Pavilion's ships in the middle of the night and set sail for that Martial Arts Holy Land."

Xu Sheng had this thought in his mind, and sighed: "The truth about the battle between that Great Hero Gao and Nether Fiend One-Hero is actually like this."

Returning home, Xu Sheng took a bath, changed clothes, and had dinner.

Xu Sheng was young, but he seemed to not only have outstanding strength but also be generous.

He didn't go to play with his concubines but sat in his study and pondered.

This person was in charge of the route for when I could go to Crescent Moon Island, so even if Zi Yi ate plain noodles himself, he had to squeeze out money to entertain him.

After successfully locating him, Xu Sheng dismissed the servants and concubines and entered his separate courtyard in the name of cultivation.

"Martial Arts has its unknowns, and my son is also practicing Martial Arts in the Bright Moon Pavilion, and has just passed the Outer Sect Disciple assessment to become a Formal Disciple."

Seeing that Qi Hui wanted to decline, Xu Sheng directly cut him off.

"Martial Arts, as you know, the path of martial arts is very costly, and the money needed to become an expert is even more than studying."

There was a subtle embarrassment of having graduated from a prestigious school but being a poor student.

Hearing this, Zi Yi was silent for a moment before saying:

"Brother Jingguan, you and I have had a pleasant conversation today. I have no gifts to commemorate our parting, so I can only offer these silvers. Please don't refuse, don't you look down on me?"

Just thinking about such a prospect made Xu Sheng excited.

"Then I will accept it without shame. When I return, I will definitely visit Brother Wu again, and we will drink and talk happily."

Small forces band together to keep warm, local tyrants run rampant in one place, famous sects are famous throughout the state, and Martial Arts Holy Lands are famous throughout the world.

How pitiful are the hearts of parents all over the world.

"Although each of the Nether Fiend One-Hero are formidable fighters, possessing Seventh-Rate level skills in the Martial World, Senior Brother Gao's Martial Arts are even superior. The two sides engaged in a small battle at Golden Plum Valley in Ningshan County, where Senior Brother Gao easily killed one of them in a one-on-one fight."

"Zi Yi departed from Linze County by boat in the evening and should arrive in Coastal County around midnight."

Senior Brother Zhao glanced at Qi Hui, then smelled the wine and meat himself to confirm there were no issues before agreeing, "Alright, then let's eat and drink a little."

This meant that Xu Sheng had obtained a ticket to become a top expert in this world.

Knowing that this world had Martial Arts, knowing the general division of strength levels, and knowing that there were peerless experts who could take the head of a general from an army of thousands.

First, he sent the Little Yellow Croaker that Dan Xuliang had brought today back to the Main World to freeze, then Xu Sheng went to the Two Realms Trade Base, where he opened the portal to Coastal County in the Other World.

This was not difficult. After Xu Sheng provided a rough direction for the location, the positioning was quickly completed.

After chatting for a while, Qi Hui, who came from a prestigious family but whose Martial Arts were only at the Seventh or Eighth-Rate level, provided Xu Sheng with a lot of useful information about the Martial World.

First, he could use drone aerial photography to spy on the disciples of Bright Moon Pavilion practicing Martial Arts. At that time, Xu Sheng could replace his current set of rudimentary Crane Step Tiger Form Fist with the superior Fengping Martial Arts of Bright Moon Pavilion.

According to Xu Sheng's rudimentary understanding of the Martial World affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

From his face, Xu Sheng saw the expectation of making life better for future generations, even if he had to suffer a little himself.

The drone kept flying, and its battery couldn't last long, but it could last a long time on standby.

Xu Sheng watched silently.

But he didn't know where these experts were, or where he could learn the peerless divine skills to cultivate to that level.

Under such circumstances, even if Xu Sheng had the Gates to Heavens, he wouldn't know where to open the door.

In the end, Senior Brother Gao received a bounty of 1,700 taels of silver, and Zi Yi's eyes revealed obvious envy.

"Not only did he protect the pearl, but he also received a bounty of 1,700 taels of silver hanging on that person in Lanjiang City, so the story spread like that."

Whenever a drone's battery was exhausted, Qi Hui would control it to replace it with another fully charged drone to continue the surveillance mission.

Especially as it approached midnight, Xu Sheng put down the novel and began to concentrate on the Coastal County wharf.

"The storyteller is right. The East Sea King presented two pearls to the current Emperor and ordered his guard commander, Senior Brother Gao, to escort them. Somehow, it attracted the Nether Fiend One-Hero."

"Qi Hui, I want to go to the Mountain Gate to see my son. I don't know when there will be boats departing for Crescent Moon Island."

Thoughts raced through Xu Sheng's mind.

Nowadays, many disciples of these Seven Great Martial Arts Holy Lands also hold positions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which shows their strength and influence.

"I'm afraid I won't make any progress in Qi Hui in this life, so I'm thinking of saving some money to buy some medicine to nourish the blood for my child, so that he will have a better chance of being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple and become a great expert like Senior Brother Gao in the future."

Therefore, the embarrassment in Zi Yi's heart dissipated a lot.

Xu Sheng bid farewell straightforwardly, sincerely inviting Qi Hui to visit again next time.

Common villages, clans, and small guilds belong to small forces.

With the superior Fengping Martial Arts from the Martial Arts Holy Land, the speed of his personal strength improvement will skyrocket instantly, and his ability to protect himself will be greatly improved.

"Then we'll meet again later. My home is in West Gate Cloud and Mist Alley in Qi Hui County. Please be sure to visit again when Brother Jingguan returns. At that time, I will definitely entertain Brother Jingguan well."

"Brother Jingguan's words make it impossible for me to keep you."

Being able to see that Junior Brother with low Martial Arts from Low Cold was also because the Escort Agency's Escort Leader was acquainted with Zi Yi.

And today, through the conversation with Zi Yi, Xu Sheng successfully learned the approximate location of the Bright Moon Pavilion, a Fengping Holy Land, and its Sect's headquarters.

Watching Zi Yi board the ship heading to Coastal County.

"Farewell for now, Martial Arts, see you in the future."

Sure enough, not long after, the ship Zi Yi was on arrived at the Coastal County dock.

Qi Hui's face showed a touch of emotion, and he cupped his fist to make a promise, saying that he would visit again when he returned.

In other words, Zi Yi would next take a boat from Linze County to Coastal County, and then contact the Bright Moon Pavilion's ship to go to the Sect's headquarters on the East Sea.

They chatted happily all the time, and seeing that it was already late, Xu Sheng originally planned to invite Zi Yi to move to the next venue for the second round of drinking.

Being able to find the Bright Moon Pavilion's Mountain Gate, the operational space instantly became very large.

Wandering the Martial World, having a sincere friend like Xu Sheng is a blessing.

If the Sect is in trouble, those disciples who have completed their apprenticeship also need to provide as much help as possible to the Sect.

Time passed by, darkness faded, and light returned to the earth.

From the conversation, he learned that after Zi Yi completed his apprenticeship, he joined an Escort Agency opened by a fellow disciple as an Escort, and his usual task was to escort people and goods to various places to earn money.

Through the opened door and window, one could see Zi Yi bowing to the old man reading a book by the lamplight in the room, and then speaking.

The old man, referred to as Senior Brother Zhao, replied.

"At the latest, he will depart from Coastal County tomorrow morning, taking a boat towards the Bright Moon Pavilion's Sect headquarters. Although Zi Yi didn't tell me the exact location of the Bright Moon Pavilion, as long as I follow him, I will be able to find the Mountain Gate of this Fengping Holy Land."

Since Lin Ze is a Martial Arts practitioner, he can naturally understand Zi Yi's situation when Zi Yi mentions the identity of a disciple who has completed his apprenticeship.

Actually, it was just a chance encounter, and Zi Yi planned to say goodbye. Now that he has taken the silver given by Qi Hui, the relationship is different again.

Through the previous conversation, Xu Sheng learned that the Bright Moon Pavilion is located on the East Sea outside Coastal County.

"When it dawns tomorrow, you can go to Crescent Moon Island with the supply ship. Now you can rest here for a while."

Zi Yi's answer surprised Xu Sheng, but it also felt very normal.

Xu Sheng closed his eyes, contacted the Gates to Heavens, and began to locate the coordinates of Coastal County.

This identity of a disciple who has completed his apprenticeship is not only prevalent in the Bright Moon Pavilion, but also a potential rule in the major famous Sects of the entire Martial World.

And Zi Yi, a middle-aged man, is just a disciple who has been advised to leave the Sect, but Xu Sheng is so polite to him, so Zi Yi is naturally a little ashamed.

Zi Yi bid farewell to Senior Brother Zhao, boarded a huge sea ship at the Coastal County dock, and sailed towards the East Sea.

Qi Hui read the lip movements and could roughly guess what they were saying.

With sufficient self-protection capabilities, he can also relax and safely expand the scale of his business.

It wasn't until noon that the sea ship crossed over two hundred li, and a huge island shaped like a crescent moon appeared in the drone's lens.

The forces in the Martial World are divided from low to high into small forces, local powerhouses, famous sects, and above that is Fengping Holy Land.

This was a skill that Xu Sheng had specifically practiced over the past few years while observing the Other World, due to practical needs.
