Chapter 170: Yu Ji, Zuo Ci

Originally, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci did not intend to become officials in the Imperial Court.

However, the Shadow Guard's strength was too strong, and those who defeated the two of them were only ordinary members of the Shadow Guard.

At that time, after knowing this news, both of them had some self-doubt.

When did so many strong people appear in this world, and they did not know about it.

Just like that, the two were brought to Luoyang City by the Shadow Guard.

Moreover, the soldiers the two saw in Luoyang City all gave them an exceptionally powerful feeling.

And after witnessing the Shadow Guard Commander Tai'a, the two were instantly shocked.

They never thought that there would be such a powerful person in this world.

After the two knew the strength of the Imperial Court, they dispelled other thoughts.

At this moment, Liu Bian did not know the inner thoughts of the two, and seeing that all four had agreed.

And the loyalty of the four was also quite good, so he said to them with authority:

"Good, since you four all agree to join my Great Han Empire, then I allow you to cultivate the Martial Dao cultivation method unique to my Great Han Empire."

At this moment, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, who knew what a cultivation method was, could not help but exclaim to Liu Bian:

"Your Majesty, do you mean to say that you have a Martial Dao cultivation method?"

After speaking, both of them looked at Liu Bian with shock, and in their eyes, there was also some disbelief.

However, Liu Bian was somewhat surprised after seeing the reaction of the two; looking at their shocked and disbelieving expressions, it seemed as if they knew about Martial Dao cultivation methods.

Immediately, Liu Bian also asked them with authority:

"Why, looking at your expressions, could it be that you know about the Martial Dao, and also have cultivation methods?"

After hearing Liu Bian's inquiry, the two exchanged glances, and Yu Ji opened his mouth to say:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, actually, this Daoist and my junior brother are disciples of Nanhua Laoxian."

"Back then, our master told us about the Martial Dao, but we suffered from not having cultivation methods."

"The 'Dun Jia Heavenly Book' I cultivate and the 'Taiping Dao Scripture' my junior brother cultivates simply cannot cultivate internal energy."

After hearing Yu Ji's words, Liu Bian asked somewhat confusedly:

"However, how did I hear that there is no such person as Nanhua Laoxian? Now, you say that you two are both disciples of Nanhua Laoxian; what is going on?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you may not know, but our master Nanhua Laoxian does indeed exist."

"It is just that back then, before he passed away, he warned my junior brother and me not to spread his existence."

"Therefore, my junior brother and I claimed to the outside world that there is no Nanhua Laoxian!"

After listening to Yu Ji's explanation, Liu Bian and the others understood that there was such a hidden situation inside.

"This Nanhua Laoxian is also a strange person!"

At this moment, the Minister of War Cao Cao, after listening to Yu Ji's explanation, could not help but exclaim.

"Your Majesty, this is the 'Dun Jia Heavenly Book' that this Daoist cultivates. This Daoist has cultivated for so many years and has never thoroughly understood it. Now, this Daoist is willing to offer it to Your Majesty!"

Just at this moment, Yu Ji suddenly took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, this Daoist is also willing to offer the 'Taiping Dao Scripture' to Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Zuo Ci on the side, after seeing Yu Ji's action, also immediately took out a similarly yellowed ancient book from his bosom and said respectfully to Liu Bian.

Seeing that Yu Ji and Zuo Ci were willing to contribute the cultivation methods they practiced, Liu Bian was somewhat surprised.

"Good, since you two beloved subjects are so generous, then I cannot be stingy. I will now teach you four the Martial Dao cultivation method cultivated by the civil and military officials of my Great Han Empire."

After Liu Bian finished speaking to the four with authority, he waved his hand at the four.

They saw a golden light fly out from Liu Bian's hand and sink into the center of the four's eyebrows.

The four did not have time to feel shocked by Liu Bian's methods before they felt a vast amount of information enter their minds.

"Collect your thoughts and focus on receiving the cultivation method in your minds!"

For a time, the four were somewhat panicked.

Just as the four were at a loss, Liu Bian's voice rang in their ears.

The four hurriedly followed Liu Bian's words and all tried their best to concentrate on receiving the cultivation method information.

About a quarter of an hour later, the four slowly opened their eyes.

Yu Ji and Zuo Ci both had a flash of light in their eyes, and their faces were full of joy.

And Gan Ning and Taishi Ci, who had not been exposed to cultivation methods, looked at Liu Bian in shock.

Liu Bian's move directly shocked the two until they were stunned on the spot.

Liu Bian could actually directly teach things into others' minds; the impact of this on the two was truly too great.

The clear cultivation method information in their minds told the two that all of this was real.

"This Daoist thanks Your Majesty for the grace of teaching the Dao!"

Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, who had come to their senses, immediately thanked Liu Bian respectfully.

Their words also woke up Gan Ning and Taishi Ci, who were in shock.

Afterwards, they also thanked Liu Bian with awe:

"This humble general thanks Your Majesty for teaching the Martial Dao cultivation method! From now on, I will definitely die for Your Majesty!"

"My beloved subjects, rise!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also said with satisfaction.

Afterwards, they saw him stretch out his right hand, and two books appeared in his hands.

The four, upon seeing such a scene, were shocked and widened their eyes, all looking at Liu Bian with awe.

And the others also turned their gaze to Liu Bian's hands.

They knew that these two books might be the reason why Liu Bian asked these four to come.

After Liu Bian took in the expressions of everyone, he cast his gaze toward the Minister of Rites Cai Yong.

"Minister Cai!"

"This old subject is here!"

Cai Yong immediately stood up, bowed and cupped his fists to Liu Bian, and replied.

"These two secret manuals, one is the 'Basic Artifact Refining Compendium', which records three hundred and sixty basic artifact refining techniques and includes the refining methods for various types of weapons below Mystic Grade Supreme. After mastering the artifact refining techniques, one can become a Mystic Grade Artifact Refiner at the highest."

"The other one is the 'Basic Alchemy Manual', which records three hundred and sixty basic alchemy techniques and includes three thousand six hundred types of pill formulas below Mystic Grade Supreme. One can become a Mystic Grade Alchemist at the highest."

"For these two secret manuals, you can ask Zuo Ci to copy a copy of the 'Basic Alchemy Manual'; the specific operation is introduced in the identity jade token."

"Keep the original, and after the Royal Academy is built, it will be collected in the library pavilion of the academy."

Liu Bian introduced the situation of the two secret manuals to everyone and handed the secret manuals to Cai Yong.

Currently, he had not yet found a suitable candidate for artifact refining.

And as for the alchemist, the Ten Thousand Medicine Immortal Body possessed by Zuo Ci was the best alchemist.

This was also the reason why Liu Bian asked Cai Yong to have Zuo Ci copy a copy of the 'Basic Alchemy Manual'. ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
