Chapter 1427 Entering Shu
Half a year after leaving, Li Bai returned to Baling County again.
Looking at the boxes of gold and silver treasures, the girl was excitedly picking up the silver ingots, then smashing them down, making happy cheers. Not long after she got tired of playing, she scratched the jewelry and chose her favorite style.
Old Man Jiang ignored his granddaughter and instead kept communicating with Li Bai, asking about his experiences during this period, and was amazed: "You really did what happened in Yiling County?"
"Yes, I was injured in Xingyang some time ago, so I hid my name and lived in seclusion in Yiling for a while. I used a brief plan to collect money and deal with my enemy Yu Wen Zhiji." Li Bai replied lightly.
Hearing this, the old man's eyes twitched. What's your name? You're using a brief plan? Then, he asked with concern: "What's the injury? How did you recover?"
Li Bai's performance in all aspects exceeded Old Man Jiang's expectations during this training. Not only did his strength improve rapidly, but his style of action was cunning and ruthless, he was simply the perfect successor. Originally, he wanted to slowly cultivate Li Bai's "operational ability", but Li Bai tried his best in Yiling, which stirred up the world.
At this point, Old Man Jiang regarded him as the "successor of the Rooster". At this moment, he suddenly heard that he was injured and couldn't help but worry. If he left behind a hidden disease and ruined his future martial arts future, he would be unable to cry.
"It's a bit tricky. The right hand was eroded by the 'Golden Evil Aura', and it has been entangled with flesh and blood, constantly devouring the vitality of the right arm. I have been hanging with medicinal materials for this period of time, but the hidden dangers are getting stronger and stronger. Please help me see if it can be solved?" Li Bai did not expect this, but he still stretched out his hand.
When the old man heard this, he took his pulse to diagnose Li Bai, then inputted the innate true qi to investigate, his face changed three times, becoming increasingly ugly: "How could it be like this? What a serious injury, which hurts the foundation. How did you make it like this?"
"Fight with people. The shadow assassin and Yu Wen Zhiji, that's the price. Do you have a way?" Li Bai said curiously without caring about retracting his right hand.
"Please, your own strength is still a little worse. If you reach the innate level, I will have a solution."
"Coincidentally, I think so too." Li Bai was a little disappointed. If he had innate strength, combined with the "Yuanqi Cycle Alchemy", he would still be 60% sure to control evil energy and even take it for himself.
The old man heard Li Bai's disappointment and thought slowly, and then said, "Although it cannot be eradicated, I have a way to help you suppress it for a longer time, and even quickly advance to the innate. However, the side effects are also quite large, please consider it yourself."
"What method?" Li Bai asked curiously.
"I have a kind of evil deed. When I was walking in the world, I got it from an enemy. I went back to look for it and I will give it to you in the afternoon. This time you performed very well, killed two innate ones in a row, and even fought with the shadow assassin without any disadvantage. You are already qualified to inherit the "Butian Pavilion". As he said that, the old man firmly felt a firm idea.
"Oh? You want to hand over the 'Butian Pavilion' to me, without considering the attitude of the Evil King?" Li Bai was shocked and asked.
"Of course it is impossible to hand it all over to you. It is already very clear to you when you fight with the Shadow Assassin. The heirs of Butian Pavilion must not only have strength, but also have ability. I decided to hand over some of the power of the "Butian Pavilion" to you two, and take a year to test and select the real new Pavilion Master. By then, the Evil King will not say anything."
"But he can kill me and continue to push his apprentice to the throne." Li Bai shook his head.
"That's not simple. If you kill that shadow assassin, wouldn't it be?" Old Man Jiang looked disdainful.
"This is a solution! By the way, let's share the gold and silver. I want to keep a portion of the purchase of supplies and practice a secret technique."
The old man glanced at the box and shook his head to reject: "No, these are all earned by you, I don't want any money. This time I will divide you into a group of assassins, and they will be trained by you in the future. You can keep the money for your own use. Let's go, follow me to the secret room, pick more internal skills, and cultivate your subordinates in the future."
…
After proving his ability, Old Man Jiang felt relieved and listed Li Bai as the "Shao Pavilion Master" and fully opened up his authority to freely read various martial arts secrets inside Butian Pavilion.
Unfortunately, he has already established himself, and the most valuable "Nan Dou, Xing Dun" has also been in his hands early. In addition, there are many secret techniques at the same level as "Hundred Poisons Tianluo". But Li Bai no longer looks down on it, so it is good to use it to cultivate cannon fodder.
Now that his martial arts system has just begun to be established, he has his own development direction, and his martial arts are less and less. In the end, Li Bai chose two martial arts as a supplement. The first part is the evil skill provided by Old Man Jiang, "Huiyuan Blood Hand", which originated from another killer organization in the Central Plains, "Tianchi".
After the destruction of Butian Pavilion, the assassination market in the Central Plains was still huge. Without Zhang butcher Zhang, Lao Wang and Lao Li rose one after another, so many emerging killer organizations appeared. Among them, the Tang Sect replaced the "Butian Pavilion" and the most successful operation was the Tang Sect, which once became the world's number one killer group.
In addition, there is another killer organization called "Tianchi", which can still compete with "Butian Pavilion". The two sides are constantly fighting fiercely. "Huiyuan Blood Hand" is the spoils of Mr. Jiang's killing of the previous generation boss of Tianchi.
Practicing this skill can plunder others' "internal strength, essence, and vitality" to replenish themselves. It is more cruel than the "Star-absorbing Technique" that only absorbs internal strength. It directly captures the essence of life and is regarded as an "evil skill".
This technique has two major disadvantages. First, the content is incomplete. Old Man Jiang’s "Huiyuan Blood Hand" relies entirely on torture and questioning, which is not complete and has certain risks. Secondly, this evil technique itself has a big problem. "Internal power, essence" contains a person's imprint. After using evil power to plunder and absorb it, his own "internal power" will appear impurities, which are unbearable.
This problem is not conspicuous when innate, so it is regarded as a "innate level" magical skill, which can accumulate internal strength without limit and fly up. However, once it hits the master, it has extremely strict requirements on the spirit. At this time, the human body's true energy and essence are filled with impurities, which becomes a huge stumbling block.
Therefore, the more you kill and absorb, the greater the hidden dangers. You must use a more rare "kill technique" to refine impurities. Otherwise, you may be stuck and your skills will accumulate more than innate and comparable to those of the master, but your realm will be difficult to improve.
As for the other martial arts, it was the technique that Mr. Jiang practiced in the innate world, and it was also the main technique that Li Bai practiced in the innate world. It was called "Shura Yinsha Gong". It records the extraction and refining methods of three earth veins Yinsha, including internal power, body refining, moves, and secret methods, reaching the peak of the master. It adds up to a large book, and it is rare to suit his assassin system. (It can only be said that there is no conflict)
Mr. Jiang did not ask Li Bai to practice directly, but just used it as a reference to learn from his strengths and weaknesses. After all, Li Bai had already gathered together the "Nan Dou and Bei Dou", and the old man also knew that the two had great potential for adding together.
…
Ten days after the renovation of Baling, Li Bai selected twelve first-class assassins from Butian Pavilion and many ordinary cannon fodders, and began to form his own killer firm, named under the "Butian Pavilion" to compete fairly with Yang Xuyan.
Now, he has several tasks:
1. Practice the "Read Yuan Blood Hand" to plunder the internal energy of essence, curb the explosion of evil spirits, and quickly upgrade. 2. Establish your own assassin power and crush Yang Xuyan to seize the Pavilion Master. 3. There will be a secret meeting in the Holy Sect soon. As a cadre level, he needs to attend the meeting in person, meet all the big guys, and be familiar with each other. 4. The Holy Sect meeting was decided by the evil king in Shu, and it happened to produce scarce metals there. Li Bai decided to take the lead and purchase ore to supplement the "Yuan Qi Cycle Alchemy".
