Chen Jianghe When we returned to Hunting Ground No. C-7, it was almost dusk.
When Wang Tiesheng, Li Yumei, and Zhou Xiaowei saw him coming back, they all clasped their fists and saluted, looking more respectful than before.
They had already heard about what happened that night.
Initiation of Gang Force, cooperate with Liu Shuling to kill two Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force.
Such achievements are rarely heard of, let alone seen with one's own eyes.
And the young deacon in front of him was the protagonist of that victory.
"Deacon Chen, you are back." Wang Tiesheng said respectfully, "Everything has been fine in the past two days. No animals were frightened, and there were no abnormalities. Chen Jianghe nodded, glanced at the three of them, and slowly said: "I will be in seclusion for a period of time. The length may vary, it can be as short as a few months, or as long as half a year. During this period, the three of you will take care of the affairs of the venue."
Wang Tiesheng was startled, and then solemnly clasped his fists. "Disciple, please obey! Don't worry, deacon, we will strictly guard the door and keep vigil day and night, and we must not make any mistakes."
Li Yumei also said softly, "Deacon Chen is in peace and quiet. If anything happens, we will report to you Message Transmission Talisman."
Zhou Xiaowei nodded vigorously and said nothing, but his eyes were full of admiration for Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe looked at the three people and nodded slightly. "Go ahead. Remember, no matter what happens, don't act rashly. If you encounter any danger that cannot be dealt with, call me immediately or report it directly to the sect."
The three of them responded in unison, turned around and exited the hospital, and went to their respective places of duty.
Chen Jianghe turned around, stepped into the quiet room, and closed the door with his backhand.
He sat cross-legged on the couch, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a moment. When his mind completely calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes.
From his arms, he took out five thin volumes.
<Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> Middle three floors.
The first three floors of <Nine Heavens Flame Hell Art>.
<Mysterious Sea Return to Origin Art>The first three floors.
<Ten Thousand Mountains Suppressing Earth Art>The first three floors.
<Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art>The first three floors.
All five elements are present.
Wood, fire, water, earth, metal.
Chen Jianghe glanced at these five booklets, his eyes slightly focused.
Ever since he entered Martial Dao, he had never thought that one day he would be able to combine the training methods of the five institutes into one body.
He was silent for a moment and took out two more books from his arms.
There is no writing on the cover, but inside there are crooked small letters <Blood Shadow Steps>.
The other book also has no cover. When you open the first page, there are three scarlet words <Sun-Moon Demonic Art>.
Chen Jianghe stared at these two booklets, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
Demonic Sect stuff.
And Demonic Sect has already set its sights on him.
Although Quan You and Fu Yi were seriously injured and escaped, no one knows when they will make a comeback.
Next time, how many Grandmastery of Gang Force will it be? Will it be Gang Force Peak? Or...,.,.True Essence Realm?
Chen Jianghe Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, there was calmness in them.
He picked up the book <Sun-Moon Demonic Art>, opened the first page, and read it word for word.
"Sun-Moon Demonic Art, take the essence and blood of living beings and refine it into the body, use the blood to nourish Qi, and use Qi to nourish the spirit. When you reach great perfection, you can use the blood Qi to activate your fighting power. The more you fight, the stronger you will become, and you will never stop fighting."
"However, this skill goes against the laws of heaven. Every time you use it, your mind and body will be lost. If you use it too often, your mind and body will lose control, and you will eventually become a bloodthirsty maniac."
Chen Jianghe looked at this description and frowned slightly.
This technique is even more evil than Blood Essence Pill.
Blood Essence Pill is just a violent drug, but this <Sun-Moon Demonic Art> actually directly uses the essence and blood of living beings to forcibly increase combat power.
The price is to lose your mind and become a demon.
He closed the book and thought for a long time.
Now Demonic Sect is being rounded up from all sides, Quan You and Fu Yi are seriously injured and are escaping, and all members of the church are dead and injured. This is the time when the news is at its worst.
Those Demonic Sect remnants have no time to take care of themselves, how can they dare to show their faces?
And if I can practice this technique, I will have another way to save my life.
It's just... never show it in public.
This technique can only be used in certain situations, such as a one-on-one battle with the remnants of the Demonic Sect. Treating the other person in his own way. Sucking his essence and blood can be regarded as doing justice for heaven and a meritorious deed.
As for normal times, it must not be used.
Chen Jianghe made a decision, no longer hesitated, opened the first level of the oral judgment of the mental method in <Sun-Moon Demonic Art>, and began to comprehend.
Three hours later, he slowly opened his eyes.
[Current skill: Sun-Moon Demonic Art (entry 1%)]
He brought up the system panel and continued to study the next door.
<Blood Shadow Steps>.
This movement technique is similar to the <Phantom Shadow Steps> he practiced, but it is more ruthless. It burns energy and blood in exchange for instant extreme speed. At this limit, it is indeed faster than Phantom Shadow Steps.
Chen Jianghe repeatedly pondered the formula and compared it with <Phantom Shadow Steps> sentence by sentence to find out the similarities and differences.
Another two hours.
[Current skill: Blood Shadow Steps (entry 1%)]
Chen Jianghe opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
He lowered his head and looked at the five books of Five Elements Kung Fu in front of him, his eyes slightly focused.
With five internal training methods and one Demonic Sect method, he now has six types of power in his body.
If others knew this, they would definitely scold him as "seeking death."
Chen Jianghe took a deep breath, put the seven books into his arms, closed his eyes, and started running "Dead Trees Reborn in Spring".
In the dantian, the light blue wood attribute Gang Qi flows slowly, like spring water, warm and long.
He separated a ray of his mind and began to try to condense the metallic power according to the first-level method of <Heaven Pivot Jin Gang Jue>.
Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.
Hunting Ground No. C-7, In the quiet room, the figure in green has been sitting cross-legged for half a year.
In the past six months, Wang Tiesheng and three people have taken turns to watch the night and never slacked off.
Salary money and elixirs were delivered to the quiet room door on time every month, but the door was never opened.
They didn't know what was happening inside the door. They only knew that every time they approached the quiet room, they could vaguely sense an increasingly thicker aura, like the roots of ancient trees, the stability of mountains, and the sharp edge of a sharp sword.
Until this day.
In the quiet room, Chen Jianghe slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were a bit calmer than half a year ago. There were faint lights of green, red, deep blue, golden yellow and earthy yellow flowing in the eyes, and finally returned to calm.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
In the body, deep in the Dantian, the light cyan wood attribute Gang Qi has solidified like a deep pool, slowly flowing with vitality.
This is the fourth level of "Concentration" of <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art>.
Minor Mastery of Gang Force.
[Current skill: Withered Wood Meets Spring Art (concentration 1%)]
Although the remaining four skills have not been condensed into Gang Qi, they have each made progress.
[Current skill: Nine Heavens Flame Hell Art (Flawless 1%)]
[Current skill: Mysterious Sea Return to Origin Art(Flawless 1%)]
[Current skill: Ten Thousand Mountains Suppressing Earth Art(Return to Origin 40%)]
[Current skill: Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art(Return to Origin 59%)]
Chen Jianghe Close your eyes and feel the five forces within your body.
The wood attribute Gang Qi is located in the middle of Dantian, as warm and moist as water and as steady as roots.
The power of the fire attribute is attached to the left side of the Dantian, blazing and restless, with a faint burning sensation.
The power of water attribute is attached to the right side of Dantian, which is cold, pliable and stretches endlessly.
The power of the earth attribute sinks below the Dantian, as thick as a mountain and as stable as a rock.
The metallic strength hangs above the Dantian, sharp as a sword, ready to go.
The five forces each occupy their own position and do not interfere with each other, but they also vaguely confront each other.
He could clearly sense that the fire-attribute power and the water-attribute power were separated by the "dam" of the wood attribute Gang Qi, and they could still live in peace with each other.
But if one day, these two skills are also cultivated to the "Mysterious Insight" level, and truly condense into Gang Qi...
At that time, if the five elements coexist, will they be mutually reinforcing or mutually inimical?
Chen Jianghe opened his eyes, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He didn't even dare to push any further.
Of the five internal training methods, only <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> has now condensed into Gang Qi. The other four are just strength, which has already given him a faint resistance in his body.
If the other four gates were allowed to condense into Gang Qi, he had no doubt that the next moment five strands of Gang Qi would start a war within his body, and the first one to be torn apart would be himself.
Unless... we can find a way for the five elements to interact with each other.
Let wood generate fire, let fire generate earth, let earth generate metal, let metal generate water, and let water moisten wood.
The five elements are interdependent and endless.
By then, the five shares Gang Qi will not only not conflict with each other, but will complement each other, repeat the cycle, and multiply their power.
Chen Jianghe was silent for a long time and slowly shook his head.
The five elements are interdependent, which is easy to say but difficult to do.
Taiji Sect's Lin Jingzhe, Twelve Forms Tiger Bone, Yin-Yang Dual Gang Qi, twenty-two-year-old Minor Mastery of Gang Force, how amazingly talented and beautiful they are? In the end, they died due to the conflict between yin and yang.
Yin and Yang are like this, let alone the Five Elements?
Chen Jianghe Take a deep breath and suppress that crazy thought.
The most important thing now is to stabilize the state and become familiar with the power of Minor Mastery of Gang Force.
He reached out, took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a Gang Origin Pill, and put it into his mouth.
The elixir enters the abdomen and turns into warm air flow, pouring into the Dantian.
He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
Xingyi Sect, Sect Master Hall.
Qin Qianfan was sitting at the main seat, dressed in a dark green robe, with a pale face and three long strands of beard under his chin, and his aura was as restrained as a deep abyss.
On both sides below, Golden Pivot Court, Shen Hao, Cangming Court, Liu Tinglan, and Thick Earth Court, Shi Zhenyue, are sitting on rosewood chairs.
"The sect's 200th anniversary is coming soon. The remnants of the Demonic Sect infiltrated Green Rock Mountain Range this time and planted Blood Sacrifice Array. The plan is not trivial." Qin Qianfan spoke slowly, his voice was low, but with a natural pressure, "Although they were repelled in time, the future troubles have not been eliminated."
Shen Hao frowned slightly and said solemnly, "The leader means--"
Qin Qianfan glanced at the three people. "Changxi Prefecture Five sects and two aristocratic families must have Demonic Sect internal support. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to go deep into the Green Rock Mountain Range hinterland without being noticed. Then Blood Sacrifice Array needs to carve complicated formation patterns, which takes at least three days. In three days, Xingyi Sect and digital True Essence were sitting there, and no one noticed it. Don't you think it's strange?"
Liu Tinglan frowned. "Which company does the leader suspect?"
Qin Qianfan shook his head and looked deeply. "It's too early to draw conclusions now. But there is one person who can be used."
He paused and said slowly, "Soaring Wood Court that Chen Jianghe."
Shen Hao was startled for a moment, then nodded. "That boy is indeed good. Initiation of Gang Force, in cooperation with Liu Shuling, killed two Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force. With this kind of combat power, if you look at the same level in the five courtyards, you can't find the second one."
Liu Tinglan pondered, "But he is no more than Initiation of Gang Force, can he take on this responsibility? If Demonic Sect is really an insider, he is at least a figure with some foundation in various sects. How can he be investigated as a disciple who has been in school for less than two years?"
Shi Zhenyue said in a deep voice, "Liu Court Master is right. Besides, that kid disappeared after the war half a year ago. It is said that he has been hiding in the Grade C-7 field for seclusion. Now we don't know anything about the situation, how can we use it?"
The corners of Qin Qianfan's lips raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Initiation of Gang Force, killed two Grandmastery of Gang Force, do you think he is still Initiation of Gang Force now?"
The three of them looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Qin Qianfan continued, "As for the foundation - what I want is that he has no foundation."
He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"Think about it, among our Xingyi Sect, among the disciples above Gang Jin, which one does not have some family background? Which one does not have some connection with teachers?
How many of the Gangjin disciples in the Fifth Academy were not selected by you personally?"
Liu Tinglan's face changed slightly.
Qin Qianfan turned around, glanced at the three of them, and lowered his voice a bit. "If there is an internal agent, it must be someone with some foundation and connections. If you ask him to investigate such a person, what can he find out? In the end, it is just a matter of pain and suffering."
"But Chen Jianghe is different."
"He joined Soaring Wood Court for a year and a half, from Minor Completion of Transforming Force to Initiation of Gang Force, and then killed two Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force half a year ago. This entry and this combat power are all seen by the entire Xingyi Sect. But what is his background?"
"Yilin County Li Chengyue is Junior Brother's disciple, Five Forms Root Bone, has no relatives, no family, no sect. Soaring Wood Court accepted him because he paid enough money. Uncle Han taught him because Junior Brother Li and Uncle Han have an old relationship. Other than that, he has no foundation in the sect."
"Only when such a person is asked to investigate can he dare to investigate and find out something."
The palace fell into silence.
After a long time, Shen Hao slowly spoke, "The leader has thought carefully. But - he is young after all. If something is really found out, it will involve too much, can he handle it?"
Cen Qianfan smiled contemptuously, "If you can't bear it, I will."
He paused, and a coldness flashed in his eyes. "If even I can't handle it - then this Xingyi Sect should have another day."
The three of them all changed their expressions.
Qin Qianfan did not say any more, but just waved his hand. "This is the end of the discussion. I will go to Soaring Wood Court in person to discuss with Uncle Han. If he nods, I will let Chen Jianghe investigate secretly. If he doesn't nod -"
He paused, and the smile on his lips deepened, "That boy is his Soaring Wood Court. If he doesn't nod, there's nothing I can do about it."
Shen Hao The three of them looked at each other, stood up and left with fists in hand.
After the three figures disappeared outside the hall door, Qin Qianfan turned around and looked out the window at the continuous Green Rock Mountain Range.
"It's been half a year--"
He murmured in a low voice, his eyes as deep as an abyss.
"It's time for young people to go out for a walk, right?"
Hundred Herb Peak deep, Han Shuitian residence.
The green lamp was still burning, casting a swaying light and shadow in the dim hall.
Han Shuitian is sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a pot of tea and two tea cups placed on the long table in front of him.
Opposite him, Qin Qianfan was sitting upright, wearing a Xuanqing headmaster's robe. At this moment, he had restrained the majesty in the palace, and looked as respectful as a disciple meeting his master. "Uncle, do you think this is feasible?"
Han Shuitian picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "That child is indeed suitable."
Qin Qianfan nodded. "My disciple thinks so too. He comes from a humble background, has no background, is unremarkable, has a calm mind, and has outstanding combat power. Let him check it out, he will be the least noticeable."
Han Shuitian looked at him, a complicated light flashed in those turbid old eyes.
"Do you know what that child has been doing these past six months?"
Cen Qianfan was slightly startled. "Disciple, I don't know. Could it be that Master Uncle has been paying attention to him?"
Han Shuitian did not answer, but took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Cen Qianfan took it and unfolded it.
There were only a few words on the note. "Grade C-7 Field Deacon Chen Jianghe, he has been in seclusion for half a year without leaving home. He came out of seclusion yesterday, with a strong breath, and broke through Minor Mastery of Gang Force."
Cen Qianfan pupils shrink.
Minor Mastery of Gang Force.
Nineteen-year-old Minor Mastery of Gang Force.
He raised his head and looked at Han Shuitian, his eyes full of disbelief.
Han Shuitian, however, just waved his hand and said in an old and calm voice, "Don't look at me like that. That child practices diligently and makes progress quickly. It's his own ability. I'm just asking people to pay attention and don't let anything happen to him."
Qin Qianfan took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said slowly, "Uncle Master, do you want to think about this matter again?"
Nineteen-year-old Minor Mastery of Gang Force, with such talent, if it were lost in the hands of the Demonic Sect..."
Han Shuitian looked up at him and suddenly smiled.
The smile was very light, but it contained an indescribable meaning.
"Didn't you just say that he is suitable? Why, I heard that he broke through Xiaocheng, but you can't let him go?"
Qin Qianfan smiled bitterly, "Master uncle made fun of me. Disciple just..."
"Okay." Han Shuitian waved his hand and interrupted him, "I understand your concerns. But it is more appropriate because he has made a breakthrough."
He paused, looked at the medicine field outside the hall, and spoke in a very low voice, "Minor Mastery of Gang Force, Changxi Prefecture can be considered a master.
It is self-protective and not too conspicuous. It is much safer to let him check it than to let those Grandmastery of Gang Force and Gang Force Peak go."
Cen Qianfan was silent for a moment and nodded slowly. "Uncle Master is right."
Han Shuitian looked directly at Cen Qianfan: "But how do you plan to let him check it?"
Qin Qianfan said, "Changxi Prefecture City Rain Listening Pavilion, there are gatherings of young talents from various sects every third day of the tenth day. Just let him show his face as a disciple of Soaring Wood Court, make some friends, and slowly find out the news."
Han Shuitian shook his head and smiled, "Qianfan, tell me the truth, do you really want him to go to the Rain Listening Pavilion to show his face, so as to pave the way for "Heavenly Pride and Earthly Hero Rankings" in the future? To show Xingyi Sect's potential among the five factions, or to show his face in front of the Shenxing Sect?"
Qin Qianfan was slightly startled, then smiled.
"Uncle Master Mingjian. He has both."
He paused and said seriously, "Demonic Sect needs to deal with the internal situation without delay. But that kid Chen Jianghe really should go out and see the world. Minor Mastery of Gang Force, if you stay in Hunting Grounds in seclusion, what kind of success can you achieve in seclusion?"
"In the Rain Listening Pavilion, there are young talents from the Blazing Sun Sect, Taiji Sect, Wind Chaser Sect, Iron Fist Sect, and the two major Martial Dao families. It won't do him any harm to let him make some connections, hear about the world, and gain insights."
Han Shuitian looked away and looked at him. "When do you plan to summon him?"
"The sooner, the better." Qin Qianfan said, "Although Demonic Sect suffered heavy damage, the hidden piles have not been removed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the consequences will be."
Han Shuitian nodded, stood up from the futon, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Then ask him to come." He turned his back to Cen Qianfan, his voice was old and calm, "I also want to see how much the child has grown in the past six months of seclusion."
