Chapter 83: The Crazy Innate

"How can he be like this!"

Long Xiuyun said with some dissatisfaction: "I just asked about his master, not looking down on jianghu people who came out of the grass."

The old shopkeeper had worked hard to send the distinguished guest away. Just as he came back and heard such words, his heart couldn't help but sink.

The leader had changed the previous gentle and harmless style of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and in recent years, he had been keen on making friends with heroes of the righteous and evil paths, and had pushed the young lady onto the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking, publicly dueling with Princess Clear River.

The young lady had been dealing with major sects and the sons of princes and marquises since she was a child, and it could be said that there were no commoners among her contacts. In the absence of serious conflicts of interest, all parties would be polite.

After a long time, she couldn't help but be infected with the slight arrogance of these prince and marquis children and major sect true disciples.

This is extremely normal for others, but for a family that stands on business, this is forgetting the foundation of their glory.

Thoughts turned thousands of times in his heart, but the old shopkeeper didn't say much.

He was not qualified to discipline the leader's children, and he would just report the situation after it was over.

"Haha, Junior Sister Xiuyun, don't be angry." Song Qing smiled slightly: "Since Brother Jiang is named Sword Demon, he is naturally the kind of suspicious person. Probing into people's roots rashly will naturally arouse vigilance. You should pay more attention to this in the future."

"I know!"

Turning around a dozen street corners, a down-and-out middle-aged sword guest appeared at some point, walking slowly on the street.

Just as Song Qing said, Jiang Ding had developed a strong distrust of Long Xiuyun.

Probing into his background rashly was the first, introducing him to the true disciples of strange major forces without permission was the second, and the hint of using hundred-year-old ginseng as a bargaining chip to make him join the force she was in was the third.

These three combined made him feel that he hadn't entered a business-oriented firm, but... yes, a large martial arts sect.

"If only everyone were like Long San..."

Jiang Ding sighed.

He didn't know what strategic changes had occurred in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, nor did he care, removing them from the primary list of trades.

As for hundred-year-old spirit ginseng, it would be great to have it while ensuring safety. Without it, his cultivation wouldn't be delayed or fall into a bottleneck, it would just take more time to accumulate foundation.

Inside the courtyard.

Jiang Ding took a Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Elixir, closed his eyes to nourish and temper the tiny branches of the Twelve Main Meridians. The Talisman Sword, like the great sun, hung over the pond, gathering heaven and earth spiritual energy and the essence of the great sun to temper the sword body, becoming more and more brilliant.

In addition to this repetitive work, he could also divide a part of his mind into homework for Chinese, math, etc., and occasionally think about sword techniques and the like.

So far,

The Twelve Main Meridians have tempered and nourished 8512 meridians. After taking the last two Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Elixirs, he only needs to cultivate in seclusion for about twenty more days to complete the cultivation of the first half of the Great Heavenly Cycle.

Clang!

After cultivating for more than two hours, Jiang Ding suddenly had a flash of inspiration, drew his sword and danced. Snow-white regular arcs flashed, sword shadows lingered in the air, constantly splitting and increasing until they filled the entire courtyard.

"Slash!"

Jiang Ding gave a low shout, waving his sword, actually slashing out seven white sword qi, flying forward for more than ten meters before dissipating.

Look closely, only two of these seven sword qi are real, and the other five are transparent and illusory, just a shell.

"Can still be optimized..."

Jiang Ding stopped to ponder.

This is the application of the 'Great Brightness Sword Art' on a long sword. Although he didn't spend too much time, with the accumulation and practice of various martial arts and immortal arts knowledge, he naturally understood it.

Whoosh!

The Talisman Sword suddenly flew into the air, gathering a large amount of sunlight, dazzling and brilliant, trembling repeatedly, splitting into nine sword qi in a row, each brilliant and golden, carrying powerful pressure.

And it itself merged into one of the sword qi, no different from the others.

Ascending, slashing, thrusting, rotating...

Nine brilliant sword qi moved flexibly in the sky, and from the outside, one couldn't see any difference.

"The Hundred-Pace Flying Sword has made greater progress. After all, the 'Great Brightness Sword Art' is a sword technique created for flying swords."

Jiang Ding nodded with satisfaction.

Pointing his finger, the nine sword qi dissipated, revealing the true form of the Talisman Sword, which flew into his hand. He applied a layer of White Origin Liquid, and after it was fully absorbed and hidden, it returned to the pond to gather the essence of the great sun and heaven and earth spiritual energy to temper the sword body.

Don't look at the dim light of this sword body; it has contracted its power and could explode at any time with a strike sufficient to injure an Internal Qi Perfection martial artist or even an Innate one. As for the golden sword qi, it's just for show; it would be good if it could beat an Internal Qi Minor Accomplishment martial artist.

If the Talisman Sword was relatively fragile before and could only deal with Internal Qi Great Accomplishment martial artists, now, although the sword body tempering time is short, there is still no big change.

But now, dealing with Internal Qi Perfection like Chen Chen is just a matter of the flying sword piercing through the vital point.

Even an Innate expert, if they cannot intercept it, the Talisman Sword can also pose a huge threat.

The sword returned to the sheath, and Jiang Ding continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

A few days passed in a flash.

Over the past few days, Jiang Ding finished taking the last two Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Elixirs, plus his hard cultivation on weekdays. Now the tempered and nourished meridians have reached 【number】 branches, and he is expected to complete the tempering and nourishment of the Twelve Main Meridians of the Great Heavenly Cycle before the final exams.

"That Innate expert is here."

Jiang Ding suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself.

Chizhong Prefecture Prefect's Office, main courtyard.

The Prefect, Chief Clerk, Registrar, Commandant, and other civil and military officials of Chizhong Prefecture looked tremblingly at a woman sitting in the main seat.

She looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a few wrinkles on her face, but her skin was as red and delicate as a baby's. The two states of old and young intertwined on her, which was extremely terrifying.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

'Ten Flower Sword Immortal' Wan Qianyu closed her eyes slightly, covering the grief in her heart.

In a small retreat, her only son was gone.

Could it be that no one had ever cared about her warnings before?

Did they look at her at that time as if they were looking at a mad dog that couldn't stop barking?

Endless killing intent grew in her heart, and the entire main courtyard fell into an ice and snow world. The officials of Chizhong Prefecture, who were at least Internal Qi realm, turned pale and couldn't stop trembling.

"Sword Immortal, it should be the work of the Green Robe Tower..."

Seeing that a group of subordinates were like quails and didn't dare to speak, and the icy feeling was getting stronger, Prefect Chen Zheng bit the bullet and opened his mouth: "At that time, the thieves killed the Princess's lady-in-waiting, disguised themselves to assassinate, and Young Master You was careless for a moment..."

While speaking, he desperately used his eyes to hint to the Commandant.

This expert's mental state is not quite right!

Only by mobilizing a large army to guard could they make the other party fear them.

The Commandant lowered his head even lower.

He was dragged from home, how could he dare to move at this time?

Moreover, this Prefect fished for money very ruthlessly on weekdays, and he had shared some of it. How could he not know what the prefecture soldiers were like now?

The number was enough, over ten thousand, but if they really fought, they would probably collapse after killing dozens.

"... This is the file... I have ordered people to collect Young Master You's body, burning incense and lighting candles to worship day and night, the mourning hall is in... in..."

Prefect Chen Zheng's eyes widened, and a blood hole from a sword qi appeared on his forehead. Obviously, these things had already been seen by the other party, and she had lost patience.

"... I am a side branch of the Chen royal family..."

He said the last sentence resentfully, and his body fell softly.

"Run!"

Several people shouted at the same time. They were all extremely shrewd people, and none of them wanted to fight for their lives, turning and fleeing in all directions, urging their Internal Qi to the limit of their lives.

Several sword qi with flower phantom images chased everyone one by one and killed them.

"You'er... that cheap maid Chen Xi teased you, I will send her down to accompany you." Wan Qianyu's voice was ethereal and eerie: "Also, Green Robe Tower, the person behind the scenes, no matter who it is, everyone must die..."

The entire Prefect's Office fell into absolute silence. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
