Great Wei scholar

To break through is as difficult as reaching the sky, qualifications, talents, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable.

Especially the further to the back, the more terrifying its grade.

It's not uncommon to be stuck in one realm all your life.

But if you get the Ancient Alchemy Scripture, you can make endless breakthroughs. You only need to find the medicinal materials needed for the pill, and then you can refine the Breaking Realm Pill.

After swallowing, directly break through its realm, no need to wait at all.

So why isn't Cheng Lidong excited?

How can you not be excited?

He is now an eighth-rank dantian realm martial artist. If he wants to break through to the seventh rank, he may have no hope in his life, but with the ancient alchemy scripture, he can easily break through to the seventh rank.

It is even possible to reach the first-grade state in one's lifetime.

The majestic Lord of the Southern Yu Mansion is only a sixth-rank martial artist. Once he obtains the ancient alchemy scriptures, it will be too easy to surpass the Lord.

"That's not enough, where is the treasure left by Emperor Wu?"

"Also, what does the power of yin and yang mean?"

He asked, feeling that the information was not enough, and asked the other party to tell some more important information.

"Where is the treasure left by Emperor Wu, do you think I will tell you?"

"However, I can tell you about the power of yin and yang. The so-called power of yin and yang is..."

When Wu Yan opened his mouth, his first sentence was nothing.

But the second sentence pulled Cheng Lidong's mind.

Cheng Lidong knew that Wu Yan would not tell where the treasure was hidden, but he didn't know the power of yin and yang, so he was a little distracted.

But in an instant.

Clang.

The knife shadow came again, the knife energy cut through the rain, and with a strong killing intent, it slashed directly at Cheng Lidong's forehead.

"Damn."

Cheng Lidong roared, and with extremely quick reflexes, he raised his hand and drew out his sword.

The short sword collided with the broadsword, and sparks flew everywhere.

The next moment, Cheng Lidong was trembling all over, the terrifying saber energy disrupted the flow of his internal energy, the tiger's mouth split open, and blood burst out.

Swish.

Being attacked suddenly, Cheng Lidong reacted very quickly, he had a certain degree of vigilance, but what Wu Yan said made it really difficult for him to gather his mind.

Otherwise, you won't suffer such a big loss.

puff.

A mouthful of blood spit out.

Cheng Lidong's eyes instantly became extremely cold.

He knew that everything Wu Yan just said was for this knife, and he didn't want to cooperate with him at all.

It was just to kill himself, so he threw out bait to lure himself into being fooled.

Good intentions.

After understanding everything, Cheng Lidong didn't hesitate anymore, he circulated his inner energy, walked quickly, and shot out with the short sword.

Under the light of thunder, the shadow of the sword was as fast as lightning, directly cutting off Wu Yan's tendons and hamstrings, and even piercing Wu Yan's lung with a sword.

His moves are fierce and vicious.

Although Wu Yan had already stepped into the eighth rank, he was seriously injured, and besides, he had just stepped into the eighth rank.

Cheng Lidong entered the eighth rank a few years ago without any injuries, and there is a huge gap between the two.

"I'll give you one last chance."

"Say everything, and I can let you live."

"Wu Yan, don't struggle needlessly."

But the dagger pierced his lungs, and Cheng Lidong nailed Wu Yan to the tree stump, but he still didn't kill him.

Dan Shen's ancient scriptures are too tempting for him.

So big that even if Wu Yan wanted to kill him wholeheartedly, he was reluctant to kill Wu Yan.

"Dog thief."

"Do you think I believe you?"

"Hahahaha, die for me."

Wu Yan, who was nailed to the tree stump, not only did not have any trace of fear and despair, but instead showed a crazy expression.

The next moment, his wound condensed a dark and cold air, and the terrible cold air instantly permeated the dagger, and then directly covered Cheng Lidong's hands.

Swish.

In an instant, Cheng Lidong stepped back dozens of steps, the energy in his body surged, he looked at his hands, and his veins twitched violently.

He was fooled again.

When Wu Yan drew his sword, he didn't want to take advantage of his unpreparedness, but deliberately angered himself, and at the cost of his own life, released the yin and cold poison to kill himself.

This man is too cruel.

More ruthless than myself.

Cheng Lidong was furious, but he didn't panic, but forced out the cold poison immediately.

But the cold poison was too terrifying, wisps of cold air covered his hands, making it difficult to push back.

In the end, Cheng Lidong condensed Qi with his fingers, and directly cut open the tendons of his wrist, and the cold blood spewed out. Although it was harmful to the body, at least the cold air would not completely spread into the body.

"You have nothing against me."

"However, he dared to show up, and deliberately sold his flaws."

"Just to kill me."

"You don't want to kill me."

"Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't kill me either."

"Because you know the gap between us is too great."

"Someone ordered you to kill me."

"who is it?"

During the detoxification process, one thought after another flashed through Cheng Lidong's mind, and he asked each sentence, looking at Wu Yan coldly.

However, the other party's cold air permeated his whole body, and he was already frozen to death.

"Who is instigating?"

"kill me?"

"Is it a deal?"

"If he dared to show up, he was ready to die."

"All the key things are handed over to others."

"The connector has changed, the secret is not with him."

"And the other party wants me to die."

"who is it?"

Cheng Lidong kept thinking, and his brain was running fast.

Click.

boom!

With a thunder explosion.

A handsome face appeared in Cheng Lidong's mind.

"Xu Qingxiao..."

A low murmur sounded.

With a cold face, Cheng Lidong tore off his sleeves to bandage his wound. His body was shaking violently, and the cold air still entered his body, but it would not kill him, but it would be a lot of trouble.

But at this moment, he knew who wanted to kill him.

I also know the clues of Emperor Wu's legacy.

"Hahahahahaha."

"Hahahahahaha."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Rampant laughter sounded, followed by a cough.

Then, Cheng Lidong's body fell to the ground.

Chapter 28: Ogre, Crisis

April five.

The official road leading to Nanyu Mansion.

The sky was washed like blue, a few white clouds hung, and the not-so-glare sunlight fell on the ground.

A carriage slowly walked towards Nanyu Mansion.

"It is still three hours away from Nanyu Mansion. There is a tea shop in front of it, and there is authentic herbal tea from Nanyu Mansion. The two mansions have tried hard. We two brothers plan to invite you to have a sip of tea and take a break. I don't know what to do. ?”

On the carriage, the driver spoke, this is Cheng Lidong's subordinate.

In the past few days of contact, although Chen Xinghe was cold and arrogant, he didn't talk to these two people very much, but Xu Qingxiao was a good person, and at first he was a little wary of each other, but later on Xu Qingxiao talked to them from time to time, and then explained some things to the two of them, occasionally when nothing happened Also tell some stories to relieve the boredom along the way.

It was also under this verbal conversation that the two put down their guard against Xu Qingxiao, and even had a good relationship.

After all, they were just subordinates, Cheng Lidong's subordinates, and they didn't have any deep hatred with Xu Qingxiao. Besides, even if Cheng Lidong suspected that Xu Qingxiao had practiced different skills, at least it seemed that Xu Qingxiao was fine now.

And there's no evidence of that either.

"Okay, I've heard that the herbal tea in Nanyu Mansion is very famous, I definitely want to try it, but I will pay for the tea, and the two brothers escorted me all the way, and asking you to pay for the tea, doesn't it seem that I am not polite."

Xu Qingxiao lifted the curtain of the car and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, isn't it just two tea money, Brother Qingxiao, we brothers are also fast catchers anyway, the monthly salary is okay, the tea money is still from us."

The latter spoke.

His name is Yang Bao, and the other is Yang Hu, two brothers.

They have a good personality and are good at talking. Besides, Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe came to the government for the exam, and they are at least scholars. These days, they basically respect scholars, especially this kind of errands.

Maybe one day Xu Qingxiao will be their immediate boss, so it's normal to be polite.

There is no fight for tea money.

Xu Qingxiao nodded with a smile.

In the end, when he returned to the carriage, Chen Xinghe was still reading, and Xu Qingxiao also often read in the past few days, but he would stop and think halfway through the reading.

The main reason is motion sickness. The construction of ancient roads is so-so. Even the official road has some steep slopes. If the carriage moves a little faster, the whole car will be wobbly, which makes Xu Qingxiao feel nauseous for a while.

This is still good physical fitness, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably have vomited.

On the contrary, Chen Xinghe remained motionless, forcing Xu Qingxiao to obey.

About less than half an hour.

Finally, the carriage came to a tea shop.
