The Myriad Worlds Gu Zun

After the dinner, Oda Heizo prepared a courtyard for Zhou Ming to live in and arranged maids to serve him. He was very considerate and caring.

Unfortunately, Oda Heizo's arrangement was a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Zhou Ming's first order after moving into the courtyard was to let the maids go to bed and not step into his room.

Then, he began his daily routine practice.

First, he absorbed a soul crystal and increased his soul strength by one person again. Now it is the strength of sixteen people.

Then he used the grass Gu to increase his strength.

Almost all the Gu worms that can increase the strength of the Gu Master have a disadvantage, that is, when increasing the strength of the Gu Master, it will be accompanied by strong pain.

And the more obvious the effect of increasing strength, the stronger the pain.

For example, Gu Masters who have taken the ancient power path often use animal power Gu to increase their strength, such as bear power Gu, wolf power Gu, horse power Gu, etc., which can increase the strength of a bear, a wolf, and a horse...

The strengthening of the Gu Master's body by these power Gu worms is not achieved overnight, and needs to be slowly improved in multiple times.

But even so, the effect of the ancient animal power Gu is stronger than the Jinli Gu and Junli Gu that are popular in Beiyuan today, so the pain is much stronger than Jinli Gu.

Although the grass Gu is not a power Gu worm, it also increases the strength of the Gu Master, and is still accompanied by strong pain, and needs to be strengthened in multiple times.

If you rush it, it will only make the pain stronger and stronger until the Gu Master's body can't bear it, and even die of pain!

At this moment, the grass Gu is suspended above Zhou Ming's head, emitting a faint green light that illuminates Zhou Ming's body.

Zhou Ming sat cross-legged, his muscles all over his body trembling uncontrollably, cold sweat on his forehead, and endured waves of pain.

After a while, the pain became more intense and unbearable. Zhou Ming knew that he had reached his limit and quickly took back the Grass Gu.

After wiping his sweat, Zhou Ming exhaled lightly.

"It takes about 20 days to strengthen the Grass Gu."

"My own strength is probably at its limit at the second level. Unless I am willing to use the Iron Bone Gu and Copper Skin Gu that can change my physique to increase the upper limit of my body's carrying power."

"But in that case, the Strength Dao Mark engraved on my body will interfere with the Wood Dao Mark, which is not good."

"As for the Wood Dao Gu that can change my physique, although there are some, they are not common like the Grass Gu, so I can only look for them slowly in the future."

...

No words all night.

In the next few days, Oda Heizo did not rush to leave for Kyoto to participate in the world's first samurai conference, and even rarely showed up in front of Zhou Ming.

It was as if he had forgotten Zhou Ming, and he didn't care about Zhou Ming at all, and he was no longer enthusiastic as before.

Matsui Kyoshin, the personal warrior of Oda Heizo, came to Zhou Ming every day to take him around Koriyama Castle and accompanied him throughout the whole process. The two quickly became familiar with each other.

Although Oda Heizo never showed up, Zhou Ming was never in a hurry. He practiced step by step every day to improve his strength.

However, the so-called beautiful scenery and delicious food in Koriyama Castle were not worth mentioning in Zhou Ming's opinion. Rather than visiting Koriyama Castle, it was better to say that it was a change after practicing.

After all, Zhou Ming's age in both lives added up to more than 30 years old, far from reaching the kind of calm and desireless mentality of those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.

Moreover, in addition to appreciating the customs and customs of Koriyama Castle, Zhou Ming had another thing to do.

In Koriyama Castle, martial arts schools such as Takeuchi Danshui and Oishi Shinfeng are not rampant, but they are by no means rare. If you count carefully, there are dozens of large and small schools, some strong and some weak, with uneven levels.

On the third day, Zhou Ming could no longer suppress his urge to fight, and he challenged three dojos in a row.

But this time he did not kill anyone again. With Matsui Kyoshin accompanying him, every dojo dared not neglect his arrival, and Zhou Ming could not go crazy and kill people.

The consequence of this was that neither side would try their best in the competition with the other party, and they would stop at the right time. After Zhou Ming defeated the other party, the martial arts experience he gained would be reduced accordingly.

Fighting with timidity was not fun at all, so after only two days, Zhou Ming stopped this farce-like fighting game and asked Matsui Kyoshin whether there were any famous gangs and bandits nearby.

Matsui Kyoshin guessed what Zhou Ming was going to do when he heard this, and shook his head in shock, saying that he knew nothing.

Zhou Ming saw that he was firm in his attitude and knew that he definitely did not want him to leave Koriyama Castle to avoid being blamed by Oda Heizo.

Zhou Ming did not force him to find a way to find out about this matter himself because he could not get an answer from Matsui Kyoshin.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Matsui Kyoshin came up and told the truth about the bandit group near Koriyama Castle.

Zhou Ming knew that Matsui Kyoshin had received instructions from Oda Heizo, and he laughed in his heart, but he didn't expose him, and he left the city alone that day.

Matsui Kyoshin wanted to follow him, but how could he catch up? He was left behind before he walked two blocks.

Time is like water in a sponge, it flows away when you squeeze it.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Ming has spent ten days in this world.

During this period, a very interesting change also occurred.

Oda Heizo's attitude towards Zhou Ming changed from being indifferent at the beginning to Zhou Ming not coming back after being out of the city for a few days. Instead, he began to worry, and sent people to find Zhou Ming again and again to ask him to go back.

Zhou Ming is enjoying killing bandits now, so how can he have the time to care about him.

For him, the most important goal is always to improve his strength. Apart from that, so-called socializing and etiquette are all meaningless things.

How long can he stay in this world at most?

After leaving this world, it is estimated that he will never meet people like Oda Heizo again in this life. What is the point of pretending and maintaining those false relationships?

Until this day, Oda Heizo clearly told Zhou Ming that he would go to Kyoto together, and Zhou Ming reluctantly withdrew from the promising work of eliminating bandits and returned to Koriyama Castle.

The next day, Oda Heizo couldn't wait to prepare the carriage, and took a team of 30 people with Zhou Ming on the road to Kyoto.

Koriyama Castle is about 700 miles away from Kyoto. A team of 30 people, walking and carriage, can only walk about 50 miles a day, and it takes more than ten days to travel on the road.

This is the best case scenario under the premise that there are no accidents on the way, no bandits, and the road is normal and not damaged, and the journey is safe.

However, since Oda Heizo would make such an arrangement, he must have calculated the time well and would not be late because of wasting too much time on the road.

Zhou Ming had no objection. His strength was still improving every day, so he would not miss such an opportunity.

When he arrived in Kyoto, the world's first samurai conference began, and what awaited him was constant fighting and killing. It would be a luxury to imagine accumulating and digesting slowly and improving his strength in such a leisurely manner.

Fortunately, the journey was not boring.

Thanks to Nohara Momonosuke's shitty ability to rule the world and his brutal rule, the Tosho Island country seemed unified, but in fact it was still a state of respecting a common master and each doing its own thing.

The daimyo were domineering in their own territories, exploiting and oppressing, taking human lives lightly, and levying heavy taxes. The civilians suffered, bandits were rampant, killing and robbing, and there was a chaotic scene from top to bottom.

Zhou Ming had cleaned up several bandit gangs around Koriyama Castle these days. Many of them were villagers who could not survive. They had nowhere to go and became bandits, turning from being plundered to being plunderers.

On the way to Kyoto, such bandit groups were also not uncommon.

Whether it was the rumbling carriage, the luxurious escort team, or the carriage full of supplies, all of them told the bandits along the way that this was a piece of fat meat.

So, the bandits who heard the news rushed up one after another, and then rushed up one after another... to die.

How could a group of bandits, mostly made up of refugees and half of them with pale faces and thin bodies, beat the samurai who were well fed and diligent in practicing martial arts?

Not to mention that Zhou Ming was in charge.

A bandit group with less than 50 people was not even qualified for Zhou Ming to take action. Only when there were too many people, which could easily cause the samurai to suffer losses, or when a master appeared, would Zhou Ming take action.

Then there was a massacre.

The number of bandits encountered along the way was really beyond Zhou Ming's expectations, so much so that he regretted why he didn't prepare a soul-burying toad or a similar poisonous insect in advance to collect the dead souls.

These are all resources!

What a waste!
