The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 226 Lu Jian
"Old Man Mo has made a breakthrough?"

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This is a good thing. Prepare two jars of good wine. I will go to your house to congratulate you in person later this evening."

Duan Mingfu immediately remembered it and nodded, "Okay, Master!"

Fang Xun then asked, "Besides Old Man Mo, there should be other people who have reached the highest level of enlightenment and broken through to the divine will, right?"

He thought that once the two earth vein seals were broken, the difficulty of breaking through would be reduced. Although not everyone would break through immediately, there should be someone in Jinling City who would achieve the ultimate breakthrough.

Duan Mingfu nodded and said with emotion.

“Yes, when Senior Mo broke through, the whole city was alarmed. In addition to him, many warriors also broke through during this period.

But only three of them have achieved the breakthrough of divine will, namely Senior Ren from Tianfeng Tower, Escort Leader Dong from Sihai Escort Agency, and Captain Ding from Dajiang League."

Fang Xun nodded after hearing this. It was pretty much what he expected.

In Qingyang City, besides him, Wang Cunhao, the head of the Wang family, also took this great opportunity to be promoted to the level of God.

It wasn't that he broke through immediately when the seal was broken, but that he broke through after seven days of seclusion.

As time goes by, the number of warriors in the divine realm in the world will only increase.

Just now outside the city, he felt that the aura of Sun Youcai and Liu Junshan was obviously stronger, and they might cross that hurdle at any time, perhaps within the next few months.

The three people who broke through in Jinling City were like Sun Youcai and Liu Junshan. They had not made any progress for many years. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, it would not be surprising if they broke through at any time.

He had chatted with Ren Qiuyu from Tianfeng Tower for a while at the Lijiang Pavilion sword-fighting conference, and he even went to the Sihai Escort Agency's Dong Biao to ask for the account book.

As for the fact that Ding Hui, the leader of the Jiangzhou branch of the Dajiang League, was able to break through, it was not beyond Fang Xun's expectations.

The Dajiang League is one of the thirty-six gangs, and its main sphere of influence is located in Jiangnan.

This sect focused on the water transport business, and the water transport in the entire Jiangnan area was almost monopolized by the Dajiang League.

It is rumored that the money they earn every year is enough to cover the annual taxes of the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River!

In addition to paying astronomical amounts of taxes every year, the Dajiang League also managed all aspects of the government very well.

Some things, such as tax evasion, can be let go by local officials turning a blind eye as long as the amount is not large.

Canal transportation is a very profitable business, not to mention monopolizing the canal transportation of a region, but this requires strong support, and the Dajiang League has this strength.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun's mouth also showed a hint of playful smile: "Ding Hui."

"Huh?" Everyone else was stunned for a moment, and Dongfang Que immediately asked, "Xun brother, is there something wrong with Ding Hui?"

Ding Hui's name was not on the list of Sanyuetang, and Dongfang Que didn't understand why Fang Xun suddenly laughed.

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Although the Dajiang League monopolizes the Jiangnan water transport business, it also has to pay the most and heaviest taxes, so it is inevitable that it will evade some taxes in private.

If it were any other place it would be fine, but the Jiangzhou branch.

Haha, although Sanyuetang has been operating here for at least 30 years and is deeply rooted, I don’t believe that Ding Hui didn’t know about it. "

After hearing this, the others also seemed to be thinking about it.

The Black Water Abyss has become so big in Jiangzhou that it is impossible for the Dajiang League, which monopolizes most of the water transport business in Jiangnan, not to have noticed something fishy. At least Ding Hui would have noticed the abnormality in the accounts of water transport goods.

Fang Xun shook his head and said, "Forget it. This matter is not our business. Let's think about the future development of the Four Shapes Hall. I think Jinling City is not a good place. It's better to move the headquarters somewhere else."

Duan Mingfu, Yu Daoren and Bai Wufeng were all stunned for a moment, while Yan Ming and Dongfang Que seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother Xun, are you talking about Dong Yunchuan?"

Fang Xun nodded and said, "Yes, I always feel uncomfortable developing under the eyes of two Yangshen Grandmasters!"

Instantly, everyone was shocked.

There are some things in the Four-Shape Hall that cannot be seen in public. Now two more Yangshen Grandmasters have arrived in Jinling City and seem to be planning to live there permanently, which does make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Duan Mingfu immediately asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Fang Xun said: "After a while, the headquarters will be moved to Chunyang Prefecture."

Yan Ming looked surprised and said, "Chunyang Mansion? That's not it."

Fang Xun knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Now is the present. Although the population of Chunyang Prefecture has been swept away and there is no one living within a thousand miles, Dong Yunchuan will definitely not let it go after he takes office.

That place supplies most of Jiangzhou's iron ore. You'll see, the government will definitely come up with some policies to relocate people to Chunyang Prefecture and invite the local big families in Jiangzhou to jointly develop Chunyang Prefecture."

Hearing him say this, Duan Mingfu suddenly became excited. This was a big cake for the government. If their Sixingtang could get a piece of it.
Thinking of this, Mingfu immediately said, "Master, I understand what you mean. I will definitely not let you down."

The others also reacted and looked excited.

At this time, everyone unknowingly walked to the attic, and Fang Xun said calmly: "Well, it's too early to discuss this matter. It's best to keep a low profile recently, so as not to be burned by the three fires of the new official Dong."

"clear."

After Fang Xun sent everyone away, he went straight into the attic. After returning to his room, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind immersed in the martial arts hall.

Fang Xun's figure appeared in the training ground, and he looked at the name of Yuan Tiangang on the third door. Although Fang Xun was sure to defeat Yuan Tiangang after breaking through the divine will, he was not in a hurry to do so.

Fang Xun planned to defeat the other party after completely digesting his lifelong knowledge of Feng Shui. With such a good teacher around, he was not in a hurry.

Then Fang Xun turned and pushed open the fourth door.

In an instant, I heard the sound of rough waves.

Before your eyes is a vast expanse of turquoise blue sea, which looks like a vast field of emerald jade. The waves hitting the rocks look like a string of pearls inlaid on the edge of the emerald jade.

A crescent moon appears on the horizon, embedded in the sea, extending infinitely as the sky moves away.

On the far shore of Changsha, there is a towering cliff. On the top of the cliff is a large flat area with a thatched hut. Fang Xun appeared outside the thatched hut as soon as he entered the ring.

As if it were a special treatment in the martial arts hall, the Grandmaster characters, like the top three strongest people in the same realm, all had their own venues.

Zhu Wushi’s is the Hulong Villa, Ah Qing’s is the green riverside grassland, and Yuan Tiangang’s is the burning Chang’an City.

But Lu Jian was no longer in a vast expanse of white, but his original home by the sea. Although this thatched house was simple, it was the home where he and his grandfather once depended on each other.

As if sensing Fang Xun's arrival, the door opened with a creak, and a young man in plain clothes slowly walked out of the thatched hut.

The boy looked to be less than 20 years old, with a dark complexion but delicate features.

After seeing Fang Xun coming, Lu Jian also showed a smile on his face: "Brother Fang, you are here."

His smile is sunny and cheerful, yet also simple, making him look like a boy next door, making people feel good about him the moment they meet.

Fang Xun also smiled and said, "Yes, I know you don't like to compete, but we have to decide who is better."

In the more than ten days since Lu Jian appeared, he has only been exchanging martial arts with the other party, and occasionally sparring with them, but they were always brief.

Originally, this kind of day would last for about a month before the two of them officially began the competition.

Fang Xun also benefited greatly from communicating with Lu Jian. He continued to sort out what he had learned and his strength grew day by day.

Fang Xun had no idea what would happen after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, but before the spiritual energy revived, every Yin Shen master had extraordinary martial arts attainments and walked out of his own path.

Lu Jian was born in a low-level martial arts world, and although he was able to become a master of Yin Shen due to coincidence, it was more due to his own strong talents!
Martial arts secrets are dead, but talents are alive.

If a person is not capable, he cannot become a master even if rare and miraculous medicines or secret manuals are handed to him.

"Brother Fang, I'm awake."

Lu Jian nodded and sighed, and a wooden sword appeared in his hand.

The wooden sword was three feet long and had many cracks on it. It looked like just a practice sword.

No matter how humble a swordsman is, even if he can learn to hold a piece of iron like Ah Fei, he would not use this kind of sword to fight the enemy.

But Fang Xun's expression was serious, only because the person holding the sword was Lu Jian!

"Accepted!"

As soon as the words fell, a clanging sound was heard, and the small building was filled with the sound of spring rain.

A bright sword light burst out and pierced straight towards Lu Jian, sweeping up the sky full of sword energy that pierced the ground on the top of the cliff into a sieve.

Lu Jian stood still until the sword energy was about to reach him, then he moved the wooden sword in his hand.

His movements seemed slow but were actually fast. The wooden sword turned around and drew a circle in the air, bringing up a gust of sword wind that just hit the tip of the sword.

laugh--

The dense sword energy hung down, making crisp sounds when it hit the ground.

"Good sword, watch me do this again!"

Then Lu Jianlang laughed, his body suddenly lowered slightly, and in an instant he leaped out and stabbed out.

The stab seemed ordinary, but Fang Xun felt the sword force surging like a tide.

Water is so soft that it penetrates every pore and reaches everywhere.

This sword gave people a feeling that all retreat routes were covered.

Fang Xun was not surprised but happy. After a long whistle, the spring rain in the small building all night actually drew a circle.

But the sword body was seen splashing out strands of energy like water streams, curved and straight as desired, covering the sky and the earth, and also extremely yin and soft, penetrating every pore.

Circulating Water Power - Tianshui Shifang Sword
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-

In an instant, the sword energy in the sky collided and made crisp sounds.

At the moment of the collision, the two had already disappeared from their original places, and their figures kept changing on the top of the cliff, colliding again and again.

For a moment, the energy in the field was surging and rocks were flying everywhere, but both of them consciously stayed away from Lu Jian's thatched hut.

The two figures fought all the way from the top of the cliff to the edge of the cliff, and then followed the straight cliff wall. They seemed to be indistinguishable, leaving only densely packed holes like a honeycomb on the cliff wall.
