Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

“That’s about it.”

Zhang Xiaojiu picked up the last herb from the ravine, looked at the misty forest, and couldn't help muttering: "Now the fog is rising in the mountains, and I don't know if it's safe for the master to be alone on the cliff. Hurry and take the master home."

Jiang Sheng's injuries had not improved much in the past six or seven years. Zhang Xiaojiu was very anxious and had considered asking a famous doctor or going to Jiuliancheng to buy precious medicine to treat Jiang Sheng's injuries.

But all of these were rejected by Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng didn't seem to care about his injuries at all, which made Zhang Xiaojiu helpless.

That was true, when it came to famous doctors, Zhang Xiaojiu felt that even the doctors in Jiulian City or even Sanhe County were not as good as his own master; and as for the precious elixir, that kind of thing could also be refined by his own master.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Sheng’s injuries might really be irreversible.

Jiang Sheng, a man in a wheelchair, was now left alone on the mountain. As the fog rose, it was inevitable that something might happen in the mountain. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he had to hurry over.

Zhang Xiaojiu picked up the medicine basket and turned back the way he came. Although there was fog in the mountains, Zhang Xiaojiu had been working in these mountains for several years after all. For some roads, he knew how to go without even looking.

Even though the mountain was shrouded in fog, Zhang Xiaojiu still did not lose his way and climbed towards the edge of the cliff at a very fast speed.

While Zhang Xiaojiu was acting in the mountains, the forces of Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu had already started fighting.

Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu met unexpectedly when they were looking for the nine-tailed cat Jiuxue.

The fog in the mountains was so thick that it trapped the nine-tailed cat and also made Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu gradually lose their direction.

It was the first time for both Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu to come to Anyang Mountain. Even with extremely detailed maps, they were still surrounded by fog in the mountains. Even if they climbed to a high place and looked out, all they could see was thick fog. They could not tell which was the peak and which was the cliff. They could only grope and explore carefully.

The fog compressed the warriors' five senses to the extreme. It was not until Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu approached about a mile away that they realized there were other people around through the subtle sounds.

Without any hesitation, the black shadow set a trap and then hid with Liu Qing. Hou Chonghu did not act rashly either. The two sides were in the same forest, only a mile apart, but they were in a strange standoff.

"Miss, something is wrong on the other side. It's a master."

The black shadow himself is a martial artist at the Blood Moving and Awakening realm. He follows Liu Qing and acts more like a follower than a bodyguard.

He could sense that there were faint fluctuations of qi and blood on the opposite side. They were also martial artists at the Blood Moving and Awakening Realm, and there was more than one.

Suddenly, something seemed to explode, accompanied by a wave of air, the fog suddenly dispersed, and several warriors wearing snake-scale soft armor burst into the air with their blood and energy bursting out. With horn-carved bows stretched to full moons in their hands, they shot three arrows in a row in the direction of Liu Qing.

A martial artist who has reached the Blood Moving and Awakening realm has skin of steel and bones and a strength of ten thousand pounds. He can split rocks and mountains, and carry tripods and heavy mountains. The qi and blood in his body move as he wishes, circulating through his meridians and breaking open the acupoints in his body. He can then burst out with the power of a dragon and an elephant in an instant, just like a diamond.

Several martial artists shot at the same time. The arrows whimpered and tore through the air, shaking the space, and densely covered the place where Liu Qing was.

Just as the black shadow was about to speak, he saw the blood and energy surging around Liu Qing's body. He flipped his hands and layers of ice-blue frosty air spread out like ripples.

Under Liu Qing's control, the frosty air was like a water curtain, blocking all the incoming arrows.

Liu Qing moved her hands like a Tai Chi spin, using soft power to dissolve the fierce force of the arrow, and finally neutralized the power of the arrow.

Snap, snap, snap.
In the blink of an eye, the arrows with fine steel tips fell to the ground one by one.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Hou Chonghu clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration: "The Three Yuans return to the sea and turn the ice into ice, and the two mysteries of Taiyi become the universe."

"The Liu family's Three Elements Returning to the Sea skill is indeed extraordinary, and Miss Qing's Frost Bone-Transforming Palm is still so sharp."

"Use softness to overcome hardness, Tai Chi is infinite, I guess this is the secret method that Miss Qing got?"

"I heard that it is a Tianzi Kungfu that directly leads to the inner realm of Shenzang. I wonder if Miss Qing would be willing to let me see it?"

The Eight Realms of Martial Arts are divided into four levels, namely the warrior represented by skin of steel and bones, the martial artist represented by moving blood and opening the orifices, the grandmaster represented by opening the meridians and embracing the elixir, and the martial saint represented by the inner vision and divine treasure.

The martial arts are also divided into four levels according to the realm that can be reached: heaven, earth, mysterious and yellow. The highest level, the "Tian" martial arts, is the one that directly points to the inner realm of the gods, and is also called the Martial Saint's Heart Method.

The Liu family's martial arts technique, San Yuan Gui Hai Gong, is an earth-level martial arts technique and cannot break through the realm of Jing Shen Zang in the body.

It is said that Liu Qing accidentally obtained a book of Tian Zi martial arts, but no one can tell whether this rumor is true or not. All we know is that the eldest daughter of the Liu family no longer practiced her family's martial arts from then on, which indirectly confirms this rumor.

Now that Hou Chonghu asked the question so bluntly, his purpose was self-evident.

Liu Qing looked coldly at Hou Chonghu who appeared across from her. Her voice was cold and her expression was as if she was looking at an enemy: "Why did Mr. Hou appear in this Anyang Mountain? Don't you know that this is the territory of the Wang family of Jiulian City?"

There are more than ten county towns in Sanhe County, and each county town is governed by a martial arts family. These martial arts families have been appointed as county magistrates. These hereditary local nobles are the undisputed masters within the county.

The so-called Baili Hou refers to these families.

Shancheng Town where Anyang Mountain is located is under the jurisdiction of Jiulian County. If the Hou family enters Jiulian County without reporting to the Wang family, it would be equivalent to running wild in someone else's territory.

Liu Qing was naturally aware of the relationship between the Wang family and the Hou family. She just wanted to see if Hou Chonghu dared to admit it. Hou Chonghu smiled and said, "Miss Qing, I came to this mountain because of the invitation of my brother Wang Ziyi. I am a guest."

"Come to think of it, Miss Qing, the prince didn't seem to invite you, so why are you here?"

Liu Qing sneered, "The entire Sanhe County belongs to the Liu family, so where can I go?"

Hou Chonghu sighed, looking very disappointed: "In this case, there is nothing to talk about."

As he spoke, Hou Chonghu's blood and energy exploded, and he flew into the air, waving his arms like a golden eagle hunting in mid-air. His aura also changed, becoming aloof and ferocious.

The next moment, accompanied by a series of explosions as the air was torn apart and the space was shaken, Hou Chonghu, a martial artist in the Blood Moving and Awakening Realm, stretched out his palms like claws, tearing the air around Liu Qing out of thin air, tearing apart the towering ancient trees, and leaving criss-cross scratches on the ground.

Liu Qing also counterattacked without hesitation, her blood boiling, and her blood surging all over her body. The acupoints in Liu Qing's body opened up, transmitting the surging power to her limbs and bones, stimulating the power of her blood. Liu Qing clasped her palms together, and an ice dragon roared away, rushing straight towards Hou Chonghu in the sky.

In the realm of moving blood and opening the acupoints, the most important thing is to see how much blood and energy you can move of your own body, and how many acupoints in the body you can open.

There are 362 meridian acupoints in the human body, and three Qihaishen points, totaling 365 acupoints.

In the Blood Moving Stage, one moves one's own Qi and blood around the body, and can move it to any one or several places in the body to temporarily increase one's own strength and defense. In the Acupoint Breaking Stage, one breaks open the acupoints in the body to store more Qi and blood, thereby unleashing a stronger burst of power and having greater endurance.

If you want to go from the Chongqiao realm to the Kaimai realm, you have to open at least thirty-six key acupoints and seventy-two large and small related acupoints.

In other words, as long as you break through the 108 orifices, you can try to break through.

Now, whether it is the explosive power displayed by Liu Qing or the fluctuations of qi and blood shown by Hou Chonghu, they are far more powerful than the one hundred and eight acupoints. Obviously, these two people are accumulating qi and blood to impact more acupoints and to accumulate more foundation for themselves.

These two most talented people in Sanhe County fought against each other. The energy and blood they used dispersed the fog within a radius of several miles. The two energy and blood forces exploded, as bright and conspicuous as two bonfires.

For a while, Liu Qing and Hou Chonghu fought for several moves but there was no clear winner.

Just when Liu Qing was about to use some means to force Hou Chonghu to stay, Hou Chonghu suddenly flew away into the air.

"Ms. Qing, I know why you are here, and you also know my purpose."

"But this time, the winner will still be my Hou family."

"Don't worry, when I get the nine-tailed cat back to the Hou family, I will visit the Liu residence in person and present the flowers, bonus and betrothal gifts to ask for marriage."

"Hahahaha!"

Hou Chonghu's laughter became increasingly distant, and his figure disappeared into the mist.

Liu Qing stood there quietly, watching Hou Chonghu leave, gritting her teeth.

The shadow looked at Liu Qing with some concern, wondering if Liu Qing was injured: "Miss."

Liu Qing said coldly: "Hou Chonghu is not practicing the Black Cloud Ghost Goblin Technique of the Black Mountain Hou family."

The black shadow was stunned: "What?! It's not the Black Cloud Ghost Goblin Technique!"

Liu Qing nodded: "That is one of the six unique skills of the Liuyan Sect, the Tengxiao Golden Eagle Technique. The Hou family is attached to the Jin family of the Liuyan Sect!"

The Liuyan Sect is the true overlord of Wuhua Continent and a top-notch sect in the Wilderness Realm.

The Liu Yan Sect has six unique skills, all of which are derived from the Liu Yan Sect's fundamental techniques. Each of these six unique skills directly points to the Tongmai Baodan realm. When the six unique skills are combined into one, one can even reach the Neijing Shenzang realm.

Now that Hou Chonghu has used the Tengxiao Golden Eagle Technique of the Jin family of the Liuyan Sect, it means that the Jin family is the mastermind behind the Hou family's challenge to the Liu family.

Could it be that the Jin family has set their sights on Sanhe County?
Once this idea took root in Liu Qing's mind, it was difficult to get rid of it.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Qing tried to calm herself down: she came here for the nine-tailed cat. To the Liu family, the nine-tailed cat was of vital importance. It was related to the life and death of the Liu family's ancestors, and to the status and majesty of the Liu family.

At the moment, it seems that the Hou family has set their sights on the Nine-tailed Cat not because of themselves, but because of the Jin family.

Could it be that something unexpected happened within the Liuyan Sect again?

Liu Qing was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a rustling noise. She couldn't help but stare over: "Who is it?!"

The next moment, Liu Qing suddenly lost her momentum and looked at the person who came with some surprise:

"Young Master Zhang" (End of this chapter)
