Therefore, when Lin Zheyu practiced his saber skill, he no longer forced the overbearing 'momentum' onto the technique.
The Six Harmonies Blade is plain and unadorned, simple and direct, with momentum and power that are thick and robust, emphasizing the seamless transition of blade and body, harmonizing in movement and form.
This saber skill focuses more on the flexibility and variation of strength, complementing the Golden Swan Skill to perfection.
After practicing for over two hours, Lin Zheyu stopped, picked up the towel on the stone table, and wiped the sweat off his body.
"The black market starts tonight, I'll go have a look then, see if I can find a fierce and overbearing saber skill,"
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
The Six Harmonies Blade is not a fierce and overbearing saber skill, and the improvement in saber skills is of little help to his comprehension of 'momentum.'
Now that he has become wealthy, in the black market, even a cultivation technique of the Refining the Organs realm is only about a hundred silver taels, which means little to him.
Last time Lin Zheyu wanted to buy one, but unfortunately, after visiting the black market several times, he couldn't find a suitable technique, so he had to give up in the end.
Afternoon.
In the empty room, there was a wooden table in the center. On the table were various powders and some colorful insect corpses.
These were poisonous herbs and insects that Lin Zheyu found in Lion Valley, which, after special processing, could be used to make poison.
Holding his breath, Lin Zheyu carefully compared with the Poison Canon, configuring the anesthesia and poison powder with caution.
The Night Orchid he obtained from the Zhao Family was almost used up, with just a little bit left. Such a small dose could only deal with martial artists below the Qi Blood realm.
The configuration of poison needs to be extremely careful, otherwise, you'd be poisoned before it's even finished.
The Poison Tao is not as simple as one might imagine. When using poison, it's not just as simple as throwing it at the opponent; one must also prevent being poisoned themselves.
This is also why the Poison Canon contains records related to the Poison King Body.
If one could cultivate the Poison King Body, unafraid of any toxins or poisons, then they could use poison recklessly and truly become a Poison King of a generation.
Knock knock
Knock knock knock
Just as Lin Zheyu was fully focused on configuring poison, there was a knock on the door in the yard.
He stopped, tidied up the things on the table, and then slowly walked over to open the door.
"What is it?"
Lin Zheyu looked at the Feihong Gang member and asked.
"Mr. Lin, the Gang Leader requests your presence," the Feihong Gang member said.
"Alright, lead the way."
Since Xu Qin Yi and other aristocratic family members left, Lin Zheyu hadn't seen Xu Jingwu and didn't know if he was escorting the clansmen out of Songyi City or busy with something else.
Arriving at Feihong Tower, Xu Jingwu, today, for a change, was not watching a show but discussing matters with someone in the main hall.
Discussing matters with Xu Jingwu were two middle-aged men, one of whom was Xu Yinghao, whom he had seen at White Stone Mountain before.
The other one Lin Zheyu didn't recognize, but his strength was good; the qi and blood in his body were abundant, reaching the level of Qi Blood Second Transformation.
Lin Zheyu waited outside for about half a quarter hour before the two finally left the hall.
"Come in, sit wherever you like."
Xu Jingwu beckoned to Lin Zheyu with a smile.
"Greetings, Gang Leader."
Lin Zheyu entered the hall and cupped his hands in salute to Xu Jingwu.
"You're still so polite, just find a place to sit; no need to be formal," Xu Jingwu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Gang Leader."
Lin Zheyu replied, sitting opposite Xu Jingwu.
He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Xu Jingwu, and then filled his own cup.
Now that Lin Zheyu's strength had long surpassed Xu Jingwu, yet he still held him in great respect.
Xu Jingwu had treated him well and had been kind to him.
If it weren't for joining the Feihong Gang, Lin Zheyu's strength could not have improved so quickly.
If he hadn't joined the Feihong Gang, he might still be worried about silver taels now.
"How do you feel staying in Songyi City lately?" Xu Jingwu asked with a smile, "Back then, Qinyi invited you to leave together; why didn't you go?"
"There were some matters to deal with at that time, no way to leave,"
"But as long as the rebel army doesn't attack, Songyi City isn't very dangerous; leaving later isn't much of an issue,"
"Practicing martial arts, reading books every day, is quite fulfilling after all,"
Lin Zheyu said.
If he went to Bafang City, he wouldn't be able to drift with the current anymore.
Bafang City is the most prosperous city in this area, known as Bafang City because it is located at a transportation hub that connects all directions.
Bafang City is powerful, with just the city garrison numbering thirty thousand, far beyond what Songyi City can compare.
In the mountains and forests near the city, bandits seldom appear. As soon as they emerge, they are exterminated by Bafang City's garrison.
Exterminating bandits earns military merit, so when the soldiers hear of bandits, they excitedly rush forward, fearful of missing the chance to gain merits.
"Really, I've heard that you often leave the city, venturing deep into the mountains to hunt fierce beasts," Xu Jingwu said with a smile.
"Yes."
"My time practicing martial arts has been too short, lacking real combat experience. Fighting with fierce beasts deepens the understanding of 'force'."
Lin Zheyu nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, to comprehend 'force,' one cannot shut themselves in. It requires constant combat, understanding one's martial arts belief through battle," Xu Jingwu agreed.
He also tried to comprehend 'force,' but he hadn't devoted much effort to it and only grasped a superficial understanding.
'Force' is the prototype of 'intent,' the necessary condition to advance to the Transforming Force level.
But Xu Jingwu, with only the strength of the Qi Blood First Transformation, has low chances of breaking through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, let alone Transforming Force.
For him, comprehending 'force' is of little significance. Currently, the most important thing is to find ways to enhance strength, not to comprehend 'force.'
Only those with exceptional understanding can easily comprehend 'force.'
Ordinary people wanting to understand 'force' need to spend a lot of time honing their martial arts beliefs and incorporating them into their martial path.
The entire process requires a considerable amount of time, spending too much time on it has low cost-effectiveness.
"Did the Gang Leader ask me to come over because there's something you want to instruct me to do?"
After some small talk, Lin Zheyu got straight to the point.
"Yes, there is something I need you to do," Xu Jingwu said.
Although many territories outside the city have been abandoned, the Feihong Gang still maintains many important industries, such as White Stone Mountain, with heavy protection.
Moreover, with the escort to Bafang City not yet returned, the Feihong Gang is somewhat short-handed.
"Please, Gang Leader." Lin Zheyu said.
"Keep this letter and jade token safe. Tomorrow morning, as usual, exit the city and enter the forest, then detour to Dabashan."
"After entering Dabashan, blow this bamboo whistle, the rhythm is one long and three short."
"After blowing, wait for half an hour. If no one arrives, change location and keep blowing until someone arrives to meet."
"If someone comes to meet you, say: 'Brotherhood supports the blue sky,' if the other responds: 'Reasoning without affection,' then hand over the envelope to them."
Xu Jingwu said solemnly.
Lin Zheyu listened, feeling a strange sensation arise in his heart.
"Yes, Gang Leader!"
Lin Zheyu accepted the envelope and said solemnly.
"Gang Leader, I am only at the Peak of Bone Forging, why choose me to do this task?" Lin Zheyu curiously asked.
From Xu Jingwu's tone, it was clear he took this matter seriously; otherwise, there wouldn't be such complexity and code words involved.
Yet it seemed strange to have this important task handled by someone merely at the Peak of Bone Forging.
"Because you frequently leave the city, doing so won't raise suspicion."
"The Feihong Gang harbor many Wuding Gang spies, mobilizing anyone above the Refining Internal Organ Realm would easily draw attention and expose the trail."
"Among the Bone Forging Realm experts, you are the strongest, making you the most suitable for this task."
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous; it's just the person may be hard to find and might not be there."
"If you still can't find the person after fifteen days, just return directly." Xu Jingwu explained.
The current situation is tense, and Qi Blood Realm martial artists are needed to maintain control and can't be dispatched easily.
The Refining Internal Organ Realm martial artists have other tasks, moving them recklessly might alert those spies.
After thinking it through, Xu Jingwu found that sending Lin Zheyu to Dabashan to find someone was the most suitable.
"Gang Leader, is that person very strong? Is there anything I need to be careful of upon meeting them?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"Very strong!"
"That person is a hidden hermit, once indebted to the Xu Family, who promised to lend aid once."
"When you meet that senior, be respectful."
"Ask nothing, after exchanging the secret code, show the jade token, and hand the envelope to that senior," Xu Jingwu stated.
"Understood," Lin Zheyu nodded.
"Come, accompany me to watch an opera, it's been busy these days, haven't had the chance to enjoy an entire performance."
After assigning the task, Xu Jingwu said with a smile.
