Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 318 Zhangguo and Yongguo Sikong (two in one)

In the Shuo Palace, Li Qiu told Mr. Pingxiang and others what he had processed, and then bid farewell to Mr. Pingxiang.

"Shuo Hou, I have stayed in Shuo Kingdom for a long time, it's time to leave."

"gentlemen……"

Mr. Pingxiang hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not try to persuade him to stay.

He knew that it would be dangerous for Li Qiu to stay in Shuocuo at this time.

If the Qinghe faction can send out one Zheng Shen, they can send out a second Zheng Shen, so why not stay in Shuo Kingdom and wait for someone to come to find him.

"Damn Qinghe faction..."

Ping Xiangjun was very indignant at the fact that the Qinghe faction wanted to rob Li Qiu of Qi-refining method.

He stood up and cupped his hands.

"Sir, the great kindness of saving the kings, ministers and people of Shuo Kingdom, our Shuo National Assembly will always remember."

"If the master needs it in the future, we, Shuo Guo, are willing to go through fire and water at our will!"

Geng Jiu, Wei Kuan and others also stood up and bowed their hands to Li Qiu.

"Thank you Shuo Hou for your kindness."

Li Qiu also stood up, returned the gift, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, sir."

Mr. Pingxiang waved his hand, and the servant came up holding a wooden tray.

He took a bag of flawless jade on the plate, walked up quickly, and expressed sincere gratitude.

"The widow knows that the master saved our Shuo country for righteousness, not for money."

"But we, Shuo Kingdom, have to say something. Although this bag of jade is not much, it is only worth ten thousand gold, but it is also the heart of our Shuo Kingdom."

Ten thousand gold is certainly not small, but compared to Li Qiu's great kindness to save Shuo Kingdom, it seems a bit thin.

The main reason is that in the past, all the high-quality jade stones from Shuo Kingdom were supplied to Fan Ai, and there were not many left. These jade stones worth tens of thousands of gold were cobbled together by Lord Pingxiang, Geng Jiu, and Wei Kuan.

They discussed it, but they couldn't thank Li Qiu with boxes of gold and copper coins.

Although the bag of jade is less, at least it looks better. As a Qi refiner, Li Qiu can also use it directly for cultivation.

"Please accept this bag of jade, sir, not only to make the widow and others feel at ease, but also to let the world know that those who uphold righteousness will never give in vain."

"Please, sir, don't do the thing of "ransoming people and refusing money."

Ping Xiangjun cupped his hands and saluted.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

This is an allusion, which he has heard before.

Decades ago, there was a law in the country of Lu. If people from other countries saw compatriots who had become slaves in other countries, as long as they paid to redeem these people back to the country, the country would not only reimburse the ransom, but also reward them.

There was a disciple of a sage who offered money to redeem people from other countries who had become slaves in other countries, but he refused the reimbursement and rewards from the country of Lu.

But this highly praised and admired disciple was reprimanded by the sages because he raised the standard of upholding righteousness to the point where most people can hardly do it. Compared.

Not everyone can do what he does, helping others and safeguarding righteousness regardless of losses and sacrifices. When someone encounters this situation again, most of them will be discouraged by fear of people's words and expectations.

Lord Pingxiang had already said this, Li Qiu thought for a while, and could only accept it.

"Xie Shuohou."

……

Li Qiu left Shuo Kingdom, ready to go to another country to find a new base of Tianwen organization.

Previously, the stronghold of the Tianwen organization in Shuo country moved to another country to escape because they heard that Zhanxiong was about to loot Shuo country.

Although due to his help later, Shuo Kingdom was saved from catastrophe, but the Tianwen organization stronghold that moved away seems to have no plans to move back for the time being.

It just so happens that his strength is almost unrivaled among the several vassal states near Shuo Kingdom.

Assassination commissions are rare, and the surrounding countries are all weak countries. Only by assassinating a few or even a dozen princes of a weak country can one be compared to a prince of a strong country.

He planned to go south, to those more powerful vassal states.

Taking the next commission there may be able to match the several commissions here, and obtain more source power in the same time.

Jiang Tianzi enfeoffed the princes back then, and sealed the weaker princes to the north where the climate was mostly bitter and cold.

But among the same weak countries, there are still strong and weak points.

Moreover, thousands of years have passed, and the strength of the vassal states has not remained static. Some strong states have weakened and become weak, and some weak states have risen to become strong.

Zhangguo is a vassal state that has risen rapidly among the many northern vassal states in recent years.

It can be said that in the entire north, except for a few princes, Zhang State is the most powerful.

It didn't take much effort for Li Qiu to inquire about the stronghold of the Tianwen organization in Zhangguo.

a few days later.

Zhangguo, Gucheng.

The moon is dark and the stars are dim, and the cold wind is blowing.

Wearing a black robe and a bronze mask, Li Qiu walked into a dimly lit teahouse that hadn't closed yet.

Different from Shuoguo's wine shop, Tianwen Organization's stronghold in Zhangguo was disguised as a tea house on the surface.

But they are all similar, they are all places where news circulates.

There was a hut in the backyard of the tea house. The staff of the tea house opened the door and invited Li Qiu to enter.

There was only a counter and an oil lamp in the room, and behind the counter sat an old man with a cold breath, a thin figure and a sallow complexion.

Especially under the dim lights, the whole person looks a little eerie.

Compared with the old wine man in Shuo Kingdom, the person in charge of this stronghold is more like the rumored person in charge of accepting commissions from the Assassin Organization.

After whispering in the old man's ear, the man walked out and closed the door by the way.

"From Shuo Kingdom?"

The old man's eyes were dark, he looked at Li Qiu's eyes, and spoke slowly, his voice was old and hoarse.

"Yes."

Li Qiu nodded.

The old man took out a roll of bamboo slips from under the counter and spread them out.

"what is it call?"

"Fengqiu." Li Qiu said in a low voice.

"Fengqiu..." the old man murmured, his fingers slid across the bamboo slips, and finally stopped on the two ancient seals.

Finding the name, he looked down.

"Assassin Fengqiu usually wears a black robe and a bronze mask, and his voice is extremely low.

Accepting the commission for the first time revealed the strength of body training with the power of the six snakes..."

The yellow-faced old man saw this a little strangely.

Generally, the position here is the direct description of the assassin's strength by the people of the organization, why did they specifically state that it was the first time they accepted the commission.

Could it be that it only accepts one entrustment for more than ten years, or even decades, so its strength will change.

That's a bit wrong, the organization can directly indicate his current strength, why bother to describe it.

The yellow-faced old man then looked down.

"In the process of completing the first entrustment, it showed the ability to secretly approach body refiners and qi refiners, and the strength of body refinement with the power of about eight snakes."

"Ability to secretly approach Qi refiners and Qi refiners?"

The yellow-faced old man was a little surprised. He was also an assassin before, so he knew how terrifying this ability was.

"In order to accept the entrustment for the second time, he revealed his body-refining strength with the power of the Nine Boars, and in the context of the completion of the second entrustment, his full strength is not only that simple, but also shows that he is strong enough to match his body. Qi refining cultivation with the power of two flood dragons."

Finally, there is the comprehensive evaluation of Li Qiu by the Tianwen Organization.

"This person has a strange temperament, and the upper limit of his strength is temporarily uncertain."

Ordinary assassins will hide part of their strength for the safety of their lives.

But this part of strength will never be revealed, and the entrustment accepted will always be lower than the real strength.

But Li Qiu's strength changed again and again, several times in succession, making people confused about his true strength.

Especially after he showed the strength of body training with the power of the Nine Dragons, he also showed the strength of Qi training that was at least comparable to the body trainers with the power of the two flood dragons.

If he is majoring in qi refining, then his body training strength has the strength of the Nine Bodies. How strong his real qi refining cultivation base should be is definitely not just what he shows.

And every time he shows a part of his strength, people can't guess the reason and idea of ​​doing so.

So in the end, Old Man Jiu could only give Li Qiu an evaluation of being eccentric and whose upper limit of strength was temporarily uncertain.

The yellow-faced old man closed the bamboo slips, his brows were slightly frowned, and he felt a little troubled.

Because of this temporarily uncertain description of his strength, he didn't know how to treat Li Qiu.

Of course, the attitude towards the strong is different from that of the weak.

He himself is a body refiner with the power of the four dragons. As far as Li Qiu's previous strength is concerned, he is definitely stronger than Li Qiu.

But he couldn't be sure whether that was Li Qiu's full strength.

If Li Qiu's hidden strength is stronger than him, wouldn't he offend Li Qiu if his attitude is contemptuous.

In the end, the yellow-faced old man felt that it was better to be more polite to Li Qiu.

"Your Excellency can call me Huang Lao or Huang Laotou."

Li Qiu glanced across the yellow-faced old man's face, and immediately knew where these two names came from.

Just like the wine old man, they are all random based on one of their own characteristics.

"Old Huang." Li Qiu nodded.

Even though he chose a relatively polite and respectful title, the yellow-faced old man did not dare to underestimate Li Qiu's strength because of this.

After all, no matter how strong they are, people who know a little bit about etiquette will not choose the latter title.

"It is recorded on the bamboo slips that the organization owes you [-] yuan as a reward, and you previously proposed to use this [-] yuan in exchange for a vitality technique with more concentrated attack power and stronger power, but this?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Qiu didn't intend to change his mind, Huang Laodai nodded and said.

"The organization has found a high-quality vitality technique that meets your requirements, and it will be delivered in a few days."

A look of joy flashed in Li Qiu's eyes.

Compared to the fact that he now has three vitality techniques that are very suitable for Huntian, and two of them are even more powerful superior vitality techniques and extreme vitality techniques, but almost none of them are suitable for Xuanyuanqi.

Originally, the power of Xuan Yuan Qi was not as good as that of Hun Tian, ​​and the gap in Yuan Qi art made his "Fengqiu" identity far inferior to "Qing Feng".

This is not a good thing, some situations cannot be solved by only using Xuan Yuan Qi, and it can only expose Huntian, and the more times Huntian uses it, the greater the possibility of his identity as "Qingfeng" being exposed.

Only by enhancing the strength of the identity of "Fengqiu" can the two tend to be in balance.

"Is there a commission suitable for me?"

Huang Lao recalled the existing commissions and shook his head.

But he remembered the uncertain evaluation of Li Qiu's strength by the people in the organization, raised his brows, and said tentatively.

"I have a request right now, and I need a body refiner with the power of the three dragons, or a Qi refiner who has just entered the Dharma stage, to accept it. I don't know your Excellency..."

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

On the bamboo slips, the old man Jiu could guess a thing or two about him, so he was not surprised by this scene.

The old wine man probably thought that he was a strong man with a weird personality who had nothing to do to play an assassin.

But in fact, the changes in his strength are not showing his strength to the outside, but his strength has been improving.

However, I am afraid that no one will believe the truth. After all, the improvement of the strength of Qi refiners and body refiners cannot be completed in a dozen or dozens of days.

Especially for Qi refiners, it takes decades or even more than a hundred years to advance to a level.

"I want to take over this commission. Please tell Mr. Huang the specifics of this commission."

Mr. Huang seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and directly took out a bronze ball from under the counter.

"Your Excellency, please leave a mark of corresponding strength on this bronze ball."

Li Qiu took the bronze ball, put his hand down, and his sleeves hung down to cover everything.

Huang Lao paid attention to Li Qiu's movements, and suddenly felt a sharp aura emanating from his robe sleeves, as if hidden inside was a magic weapon that cut iron like mud and was as sharp as mud!

This extremely sharp aura made his hairs stand on end, and he faintly felt a sense of threat!
"It's vitality."

Huang Lao's eyes moved, and he immediately realized it.

"The vitality of the sharp characteristic..."

"No wonder he wants the vitality technique with more concentrated attack power!"

"anyway……

It can make me feel faintly threatened, and it doesn't look like a body refiner who can only match the power of the two flood dragons. "

"Sure enough, this Fengqiu is still hiding his strength. I don't know if this is his limit."

In Huang Lao's perception, Li Qiu's current strength should be on par with him.

But I don't know if the strength shown by the other party is all.

Soon, Li Qiu took out the bronze ball from the sleeve of his robe, and there was already a deep imprint on it, which looked like it was cut by a sharp knife.

Huang Lao took the bronze ball, glanced at it, and put it back under the counter.

This is a bronze sphere specially designed to test the strength of jiao-level body refiners, and it is indeed the level of a first-time Dharma practitioner to leave such a mark on it.

Huang Lao nodded, and took out a bronze token from under the counter, which was very similar to the one given to Li Qiu by the old wine man last time, the difference was that the gnat wrapped around the word Tianwen became a jiao.

Snake-like, with scales on its body, double horns on its head, and beards under its jaws, it is very close to a real dragon, but there are some differences in some subtleties.

For example, the two horns on the head are straight and sharp, the scales on the body are uneven, and the snake shape of the head has not completely faded away.

As well as the dragon, which is regarded as a divine beast and a symbol of the emperor, the jiao looks a little sinister and frightening!
Under the heavenly question entwined by the monster flood dragon, there is another pattern of auspicious clouds engraved.

The entanglement of the monster dragon represents the strength to rival the dragon-level body refiner, and the auspicious cloud pattern represents the identity of the Qi refiner.

Li Qiu took the bronze token, and Huang Lao began to introduce the assassination commission.

"This entrustment comes from Yong Kingdom."

"The target of the assassination is the master of Young Master Qu of the Yong Kingdom, Sikong Yunli of the Yong Kingdom!"
