The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

In Fang Xun's opinion, Pang Ban's strength is only slightly stronger than Jue Wushen, and the gap is not that big. If the two were to fight, the outcome is still unknown.

But his foundation and future growth space are far inferior to Jue Wushen's.

Just as Fang Xun said, Pang Ban has just broken through the void and entered the state of Yang God.

But according to the evaluation of the Martial Arts Hall, Pang Ban's strength in this state is actually stronger than Jue Wushen, who has been promoted to Yang God many years ago. The difference between the two is obvious.

For someone like Jue Wushen, who had an unpleasant personality and no potential, Fang Xun simply killed him.

As for a brilliant man like Pang Ban, he would rather exchange his insights on martial arts with him so that the other party's strength can continue to advance by leaps and bounds.

The stronger the character, the greater the rewards after defeating him, and the happier Fang Xun will be.

While he and Pang Ban were sitting and discussing philosophy on Lanjiang Island, the outside world had already been in chaos.

The thousand-year-old Xue Linlang appeared in the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands formation, and was quickly killed by Lin Chuanhou Fang!
The news spread like wildfire, and within two hours, people in every street and alley in the capital were discussing the matter.

Fang Xun's name once again frightened countless young hearts.

Countless low-level warriors in the capital said that they couldn't understand it, but they were greatly shocked.

Even the princes and nobles, as well as the thirty-six disciples who came to Beijing for the Northern Expedition, were so shocked that they lost the ability to speak when they first received the news.

This matter is really too exaggerated. Although the Yin God Realm killing the Yang God Realm is like a fairy tale in most people's minds, there are some precedents in history.

Although everyone was shocked, they were able to quickly accept this fact.

But when Fang Xun first entered Yangshen, he killed a Zhenwu, even though this Zhenwu was already exhausted and his strength had fallen to the bottom.

It sounded like a fairy tale to everyone. After hearing about this, many storytellers in restaurants and inns didn't know how to make up stories.

That is a Zhenwu land immortal!

For a time, Fang Xun's name was known to everyone in the capital, and it even overshadowed the Northern Expedition which had just caused a huge storm.

Inside the palace, Fang Xun's name also appeared in the mouth of the current emperor Wan Haoren.

"After the spiritual power was revived, all kinds of monsters and demons appeared, and even the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation had problems."

In the study, Wan Haoren sat behind the imperial desk with a gloomy face and his fingers tapping lightly on the table. Opposite him, Tie Wuxin sat with a serious expression.

He had already reported the previous series of events to Wan Haoren, and after hearing Wan Haoren speak, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Xue Linlang has been killed, and some flaws in the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation have been repaired by Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi. In three years, such accidents will definitely not happen again!"

Wan Haoren's expression then relaxed slightly and he turned to talk about Fang Xun.

"I just heard you say that it was Lord Lin Chuan who killed Xue Linlang single-handedly?"

Tie Wuxin immediately replied solemnly: "Although I also find it a little unbelievable, it was witnessed by all the princes and princes in the formation, and Lord Lin Chuan was also seriously injured.

Fortunately, the King of Yue and his men dealt with it in time, otherwise the root cause would have been affected."

Wan Haoren nodded and said with a smile, "Fang Xun has just been conferred the title of Marquis and he has made another contribution. This really poses a problem for me. I need to think about how to reward him. He must be rewarded heavily for such a great contribution!"

"Your Majesty is right. He should be rewarded generously," Tie Wuxin nodded, "but Fang Xun has just been conferred the title of Marquis. It would not be appropriate to further promote him."

Before he could finish, Wan Haoren smiled and said, "I would like to keep this kind of talent in the capital."

Tie Wuxin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xun is the husband of the King of Yue and belongs to the line of vassal kings. He is not suitable to be an official in the capital. Moreover, he has no interest in power and is obsessed with martial arts. If you really give him an official title, it would be inappropriate."

During the days of contact with Fang Xun, Tie Wuxin also felt that the other party was obsessed with martial arts.

Yu Jiaolong was basically in charge of all matters, big or small, in the Prince of Yue's mansion, while Fang Xun was more focused on practicing hard behind the scenes.

After hearing this, Wan Haoren was moved: "My dear Tie, you have reminded me. I have thought of how to reward Fang Xun. It happens that in three days, Concubine Shu will return to her hometown to visit her relatives, and Chensha will follow her. It is estimated that they will not be able to return to the capital for half a year.

Let Fang Xun take his place and assist Zhen Yangzi in editing the book as his deputy."

"Your Majesty is wise," Tie Wuxin praised immediately after hearing this, "This arrangement couldn't be more appropriate."

Although he did not have much power as Zhen Yangzi's deputy in editing books, he could freely read the many martial arts in the royal collection.

For a warrior like Fang Xun who is obsessed with martial arts, this is the most suitable reward.

But then Tie Wuxin saw Wan Haoren suddenly frowned.

"I remember you just said that Fang Xun had attracted the power of the Seven Killing Stars?"

Tie Wuxin's heart tightened and he immediately started to explain.

“Your Majesty, this is true, but Fang Xun once found a copy of the Zhoutian Secret Book in the Zhoutian Star Palace after killing a thief from the Black Water Abyss. It contains a method to summon the power of the Seven Killing Stars.

Now everyone in the world knows that the ghost-faced man with the Seven Killing Stars is the mysterious Quezhou Yifandu. This man is a Zhenwu strongman, so how could Fang Xun be the Seven Killing Stars?"

Wan Haoren's brows relaxed immediately, and he said jokingly: "Of course I know Fang Xun is not a Seven Killing Star Fate, I just mentioned it casually, look how nervous you are..."

Tie Wuxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although the other party said that he just mentioned it casually, his mind was unpredictable and the frown just now did not seem like a casual remark.

If Fang Xun doesn't explain clearly and Wan Haoren misunderstands him, I'm afraid that good things will turn into bad things.

Although the court's attitude towards the Seven Killing Stars was not as hostile as that of the Confucians, it could not be said to be positive either.

If we didn’t know now that the Ghost-Faced Man was a True Martial Realm expert, he would probably still be on the Green Forest List.

Just because people knew that Quezhou Yifandu was at the Zhenwu realm, the Ghost-faced Man was removed from the Green Forest List.

The imperial court will not arbitrarily issue a wanted order for a Zhenwu Realm expert unless he shows hostility.

Even if there is some overstepping, as long as it is not excessive, they will turn a blind eye. This is the power of the immortals on land.

Thus, Fang Xun's reward was decided after a few words between the two.

Less than an hour later, a eunuch arrived at the Prince of Yue's mansion with an imperial edict and a lot of healing medicines.

Wan Haoren did not ask Fang Xun to take up the post of editing the book immediately, but asked him to rest and recuperate first, and it would not be too late to go after his injury was better. In the following half a month, no one came to visit him.

Although Fang Xun was the center of everyone's discussion, he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focused on recuperating at home.

Various precious medicinal herbs were poured into the bathtub for free, which helped his injuries to improve slightly.

Even if you can only take a medicinal bath in the room, you won’t feel bored, because there is also a martial arts hall.

Fang Xun and Pang Ban exchanged what they had learned on Lanjiang Island. They spoke freely and without any reservations, and without any sectarian bias.

He also got the cuckold version of "The Great Method of Cultivating Demons in the Dao Heart".

This is the most profound volume among the ten volumes of "The Heavenly Demon Strategy", but it is not the original version.

The original training method begins with Taoist practice, and finally achieves a Taoist body and a demon fetus, and can move freely between Taoism and demons.

In order to master it, one must collect all ten volumes of "The Heavenly Demon Strategy" before one can have a glimpse into the ultimate of the devil's way and cultivate "The Great Method of Cultivating the Devil in the Heart of Taoism".

However, the word "green hat" in Pang Ban's green hat version is just a joke. In fact, it means using a cauldron to breed the magic seed.

Just like Han Bai, another protagonist of "The Clouds and the Rain", he also did not practice the orthodox method of cultivating the demon species, but stimulated the growth of the demon species by practicing dual cultivation with multiple women.

In the end, Han Bai and Qin Mengyao, the excellent cauldron, achieved mutual success. Han Bai's magic power was perfected, and Qin Mengyao's fatal heart injury was healed.

Although the versions practiced by the two are very different from the original "The Demon in the Heart of Tao", after practicing it, they can still seize the essence of heaven and earth, and every move they make has great power.

After Fang Xun got the hang of it, he discussed it with Pang Ban and also gained a lot.

He even tried to deduce it on his own, hoping to bypass the "green hat" hurdle and change it into a version suitable for his own practice.

Compared with Pang Ban, he has countless magical skills collected in the Prince of Yue's Palace for him to watch, and he can also gain insights from many martial arts figures in the martial arts hall.

It is not difficult to deduce the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method" that suits you.

This went on for half a month, with Fang Xun recuperating at home, and other families in the capital did not bother him.

He just sent people to deliver various elixirs and precious medicinal materials, which were piled up into a mountain in the warehouse.

Fang Xun's complexion improved day by day, and after only five days, he could walk freely without anyone's support.

Ten days later, Fang Xun's injuries had healed a lot, and he had no problem fighting with others.

After seeing Fang Xun become lively and energetic again, Yu Jiaolong could finally return to Jiangnan with peace of mind.

When we said goodbye at the gate, he was still reluctant to leave and gave me many instructions.

"The situation in the capital is unpredictable, so be careful. Your injuries have only healed a little, so don't fight with others and make them worse."

Fang Xun's face was still a little pale, but other than that he looked fine. However, he felt dizzy when he heard Yu Jiaolong's nagging like an old lady.

He quickly interrupted the other person: "Okay, okay, why are you so nagging? I'm not a child, of course I know the importance of it."

Yu Jiaolong said angrily: "You are such a bold fellow, you can do anything. If you knew the severity of the situation, you would be shocked!"

As he spoke, his expression no longer showed worry.

"After I leave, you should take good care of yourself in the capital. I will wait for you to come home."

After giving one last reminder, Yu Jiaolong finally got into the carriage and waved goodbye to Fang Xun.

Watching the carriage slowly disappear at the end of the long street, Fang Xun sighed, but quickly composed himself and prepared to return home.

But just as he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly stopped and turned to look to the other side of the long street.

Then she saw a young girl in green gauze, with skin as white as jade and features as beautiful as a painting, walking towards her slowly.

The girl seemed like an elf walking out of a painting, with an alluring cherry mouth and natural charm. She was none other than Xue Qianrou, the chief disciple of Yinyue Sect.

Fang Xun raised his eyebrows when he saw it.

"Oh, it's been a long time since we last met. You've already broken through to the Yin God level in less than two years. You're truly gifted."

Xue Qianrou, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned dark after hearing this, and her cherry lips pouted slightly as she said coquettishly.

"You bastard, someone brought the holy medicine from our sect to see you out of kindness, but you insulted him like this. You are not praising him, you are praising yourself!"

Even though Xue Qianrou looked angry and coquettish, she still stunned the gatehouse and the servants.

Fang Xun looked at the sky and saw that the sun had already set and the bright moon was about to rise.

He said helplessly: "I appreciate your kindness, but it's getting late. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to come to my house alone."

Xue Qianrou turned from anger to laughter when she heard that, and joked while covering her mouth and giggling.

He looked angry just now, but in the next moment he started laughing. He was really clever.

"Oh, I never knew that you, the famous Lord Lin Chuan, are actually henpecked. Are you afraid to say a few more words to your younger sister because you are worried that Sister Yu hasn't left yet?"

"I'm henpecked? It's all for your sake. Since you, a virgin girl, come to see me alone in the middle of the night and don't care about what others think of you, what should I worry about?

Just a reminder, if something goes wrong, you will bear all the consequences yourself, don't instigate your master who is on the Heavenly Ranking to cause trouble for me!"

Of course Fang Xun couldn't stand being called henpecked. After saying a word, he walked straight through the gate, but the back door was not closed.

Xue Qianrou was stunned for a moment, but returned to normal in a flash.

"Haha, your Yue Palace is not a dangerous place, what is there to be afraid of? Can you really eat me?"

After curling his lips, he followed into the Prince of Yue's palace, and did not forget to shout to the doorman as he stepped over the threshold.

"It's closed!"

At this time, the gatekeeper and the servants who had been fascinated by her beauty for a long time were finally awakened and quickly closed the door with a clang. (End of this chapter)
