Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain
113. Banquet
Hou Yuxiao could see Wan Xiaolou's intelligence in the ruined temple in Yunye County.
An orphan who was abducted to the Shenyin Sect as a human being and expelled after losing his hearing since he was a child. He has no feet. Not only can he master lip reading on his own, but he can also learn a few moves to become a warrior. This is already very simple.
.
He had only stayed in the ruined temple for five or six days when he realized that he was the assassin of the Shenyin Sect. Knowing that he was a master at the master level, he dared to directly request him to become a disciple, which was even more courageous.
And then he used his beggars to disguise themselves as himself, disrupt Yunye County, and create opportunities for himself to kill Helian Wuji. The fact that Xiaobo could reach this level shows that his planning and planning abilities are far beyond ordinary people.
It is amazing that an orphan who is only eighteen and a half years old can show such extraordinary agility and courage.
What is even more commendable is that although he has experienced hardships since he was a child, his heart is not dark. After his life has improved, he can still remember those children who came from the same miserable background as him and suffered in the Shenyin Sect, and take them into his care.
By his side, he taught them martial arts and lip reading.
Even when he escaped from Yunye County this time, he did not forget to take these children with him, which shows that he sincerely regards these people as his own brothers, sisters and relatives.
Such a child with a pure character and a mind far beyond ordinary people, coupled with his identity as an orphan, and the scene of bringing up three younger brothers and a younger sister, it can be said that Hou Yuxiao was touched in many ways.
Therefore, he indeed sincerely accepted this apprentice.
Secondly, he came to Wanyang County for two purposes. One was to inquire about news here, and the other was to expand the reputation of the Blue Dragon Society.
To expand his reputation, for the sake of subsequent operations, it is impossible for Qinglonghui to only do business in Tongling County. He had already gone to Yinling County and killed Chen Feng, the elder of the Iron Fist Sect, plus Helian Wufeng and He
Lian Wuji's brothers were killed by him one after another. The Qinglong Order is now famous in the three counties of Yinling, Tongling and Wanyang. The power of the Qinglong Order will soon be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Secondly, it’s for the upcoming Rakshasa Festival!
He wants to sell the first batch of ten Azure Dragon Silver Tokens on the Rakshasa Festival.
With the support of his current reputation, I think that on July 30th, the Rakshasa Festival, a large number of warriors will definitely gather in Tongling County to compete for the ten Azure Dragon Silver Tokens.
After all, Wanyang County is under the rule of Xuzhou. Hou Yuxiao originally wanted to choose someone smart enough. On the one hand, he wanted to slowly develop the business of Qinglong Club here. On the other hand, he wanted to serve as his Hou family in Wanyang County.
Yang Jun's spy is here.
Wan Xiaolou has only reached the second level of cultivation and is very weak. It is definitely impossible to rely on him to develop Qinglong Club's business in Wanyang County.
But as an eyeliner, he couldn't be more suitable.
A person who is too weak often does not arouse the wariness of others.
Coupled with the unique ability of lip reading as a group of children, they are even more blessed to be able to inquire about news and collect intelligence.
If your strength is very weak, you can spend time and slowly improve it. If your brain is not good, it will not be able to make up for it no matter what.
In the next month, Hou Yuxiao first spent a large sum of money to buy a marrow-cleansing pill to repair all the hidden wounds in Wan Xiaolou's body, and then passed on Hou's mysterious magic skills to him, and then assisted him.
With the help of Kaishen Dan and various precious medicinal materials, Wan Xiaolou's cultivation level can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
What's even more coincidental is that although Wan Xiaolou's understanding of stick techniques is not as good as his own, it is still surprisingly high. This made Hou Yuxiao sigh that it was destined to have a master's battle with him.
It's fate.
Hou Yuxiao did not dare to teach him too high-level martial arts. He only taught him the Thirteen Forms of the Black Dragon, Double Absolute Hands, and the Falling Rain Sword Technique.
Wan Xiaolou had never even been exposed to low-level martial arts and mental skills before. Seeing so many popular martial arts at once made him extremely happy. If Hou Yuxiao hadn't told him that haste makes waste, I'm afraid he could
Practice day and night until you collapse.
Of course, Hou Yuxiao has not forgotten that his group of younger brothers and sisters will also deliberately teach him some other martial arts skills. As for who should be taught to, it is up to him.
Wan Xiaolou was so smart that he immediately understood Hou Yuxiao's intentions, and he began to respect this master even more.
Of course, in the past month, in addition to teaching Wan Xiaolou, Hou Yuxiao had almost never stopped inquiring about information about various forces in Wanyang County, whether with money or force.
But the more he inquired, the more frightened he became...
In addition to the local Ten Thousand Swords Holy Sect, there are a total of six holy places in Yangzhou Bailu Academy, Jiaozhou Ziqing Holy Sect, Qingzhou Haoran Holy Sect, Zhongzhou Dayu Holy Sect, and the Right Way, and only five of them came!
People from Jizhou Leiyin Temple and Daxue Mountain Buddhist Sect, two heaven-level powerful forces, also arrived, as did the Liu family, a famous family in Guangling Prefecture, the water overlord of Xingyuan Dao, and the prefecture-level powerful Cao Gang.
Before the Zhaoyang Rebellion last year, the righteous people gathered in Wanyang County, but they were nothing compared to now.
Hou Yuxiao himself estimated that there were at least nearly twenty forces gathered in Wanyang County at the moment, and each of these forces was bigger than the last. Even local overlords such as the Tianding Sect seemed to have become a foil.
It has only been a month since he broke through to the realm of Grandmaster. He originally thought he would feel relieved for a while. Who would have thought that in this short period of time, just in the Sacred Heart Residence alone, he would encounter more than ten unfamiliar Grandmasters, and their auras were even more powerful than his own.
Yes, I have encountered two of them.
This made people suspicious. In the next half month, he did not dare to go out to inquire for information. At most, he only obtained some information through chatting with others.
Fortunately, he has the cultivation of a master, so whenever he asks, people will usually give him some face, and he has heard a lot from them over and over again.
During this time, he always took Wan Xiaolou in and out of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, and the master and apprentice became somewhat famous in Wanyang County.
Of course, the main reason is that he, as a master, has the cultivation level of a grandmaster. After all, for a county, the cultivation level of a grandmaster is already unparalleled.
…………
The tenth day of the seventh month in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar
Wan's courtyard in the east of the city.
Hou Yuxiao was sitting in the main hall with his eyes closed, surrounded by the black mysterious demon's true energy. As he puffed and puffed, the cloud of true energy in his Dantian continued to grow.
The true energy manifests the Dharma, the martial arts reaches the divine platform, transforms the true spirit into the essence, then opens the gateway to the hinterland, and finally breaks through the sky barrier between the brows, which is called the five realms of the master.
He is now in the first stage, expanding the cloud of true energy in his Dantian to the maximum, and then he can try to communicate with the martial arts platform and condense the spirit of martial arts.
There is no limit at this stage. Even if the cloud of true energy is only the size of your thumb, you can still try to communicate. As long as you can do it, the spirit of martial arts is originally an illusory thing. If you don't have enough understanding of martial arts, you can even try to communicate.
You can't communicate at the martial arts altar, let alone condense the spirit of martial arts.
"However, this stage is too easy for me!"
A hint of confidence rose in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. If it were for other talents, he would not dare to say how strong he was. But for his understanding of martial arts, he is confident that with the help of Xiao Huan Dan, there are not many people in the world who can surpass him.
.
The spirit of martial arts, in layman's terms, is the embodiment of your most profound martial arts. Just like Sikong Yue's Rakshasa Phantom, it was her understanding of the Ten Rakshasa Scriptures.
Thinking of this, Hou Yuxiao glanced sideways at the ape demon stick beside him, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.
"The true energy has not yet taken shape. It has only been a month since I entered the Dharma Realm, and I already want to condense the spirit of martial arts. I can't be so greedy. I have to take it step by step and have a solid foundation, so that the road ahead will be easier!"
For other people, expanding the true energy cloud may take a long time, but for him with the ability to swallow energy, it is too simple.
As long as he absorbs the power of three Grandmaster realm warriors, he can do it quickly.
Hou Yuxiao calmed down and turned his attention to the two lines of data on the glowing gold page of merit.
Merit:1252
Karma:326
"The merits and karma are not enough!"
At the end of April, he had more than 90,000 merits and more than 1,000 karma.
It has only been three short months, and it has been basically consumed.
The current four functions of Shenlian, the consumption of transformation and small return elixir, are all very small and nothing. They are mainly about plundering skills and martial arts promotion.
The plundering skill depends on the cultivation level of the plundered object to calculate the karma consumption. The weakest Gang Qi realm warrior only needs 10 karma points, while a Tiger List master like Helian Wuji needs more than 300 karma points.
The consumption of karma is nothing. The main reason is that after plundering other people's skills, the karma in his body will skyrocket. If he does not use merit to offset it in time, he will lose his mind at the least, and in the worst case, he will die suddenly.
Therefore, Hou Yuxiao's cultivation has grown so fast during this period entirely because of his more than 90,000 merits, which he used to crazily offset the karma caused by swallowing the merits.
As for the fourth martial arts promotion, the consumption of merit is also very serious. It only takes 300 points to advance from an unqualified martial artist to a first-rate martial artist, 1,000 points from a third-rate martial artist to a second-rate martial artist, and 10,000 merit points from a second-rate martial artist to a first-rate martial artist.
Hou Yuxiao had a lot of martial arts in his hands. Originally, he wanted to promote Qinglong Staff to a first-class martial arts, but seeing such a terrible consumption of merit and the fact that the red girl gave him two first-class martial arts, he still
I endured it.
"Such a small amount of merit and karma is not enough to improve your cultivation, let alone cope with the next situation!"
Hou Yuxiao looked outside the door, his tone slightly solemn.
More and more people are gathering here in Wanyang County. Some come for the Blood Demon, some come for the Rakshasa Holy Cult, and some come for the name...
No matter what the purpose of these people is, the situation in Tongling County will become more and more complicated anyway.
The Hou family is caught in the middle. If they don't seize the time to improve their strength, they will be doomed if they are not careful. This is why Hou Yuxiao is so eager.
"It's a pity that opportunities to obtain merits in large quantities are rare. Unless our Hou family can control another city, we can increase the number of merits obtained daily and increase the speed of accumulation!"
After Hou Yuxiao secretly thought to himself, he shook his head and smiled helplessly. It was not easy to win another city. In order for the Hou family to take over Zhaoyang, he had to fight to the death over and over again and almost lost his life before he succeeded.
"But my strength is no longer the same as it was back then. As long as we plan properly, my Hou family will have a chance to win another city!"
Looking at the bustling streets of Wanyang County outside the yard, Hou Yuxiao smiled confidently, with a touch of ambition rising deep in his pupils.
After a long time, Hou Yuxiao calmed down his emotions slightly, looked at the children who were still practicing martial arts outside the yard, and suddenly thought of Lao Er and others.
"It's been two months since I came out, and the Rakshasa Festival is about to begin. It's almost time to go back..."
With this thought in his mind, Hou Yuxiao stood up, ready to go out and give them some guidance. Before he could go out, Wan Xiaolou rushed in from the door, holding an invitation in his hand.
"Master, the young master of the Tianding Sect, the Divine Fist Master Tong Hu invites you to a banquet at Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower at Xu time tonight. He said that he has important matters to discuss!"
Wan Xiaolou handed the invitation to Hou Yuxiao's hand, looking a little excited.
During this period of time, he was extremely prosperous. With Hou Yuxiao as his grand master, his reputation in Wan Xiaolou became more and more popular. Although his strength was still only at the fourth level of Kaishen, some Gangqi realm warriors did not dare to see him.
He was so presumptuous that many people even came to fawn over Hou Yuxiao and instead turned their attention to him.
Hell and heaven are just a thought away. Think about it, a month ago, he was just a disabled warrior that no one took seriously in Yunye County. Now, he can even speak to big figures like Divine Fist Master Tong Hu.
.
If he hadn't been determined, the sense of vanity brought about by this huge change in status would have made him lost long ago.
Hou Yuxiao opened the invitation and took a look, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"My disciple has inquired in advance. Tong Hu seems to have invited many people. Four third-rate power leaders including Wanyang County Fuwei Escort Agency, Shenyin Sect, Qinghu Gang, and Pengshan Sect have also been invited. I heard that there are two more
A master at the master level like the master is also among them, for what reason, I don’t know.”
Wan Xiaolou had obviously put a lot of thought into it. As soon as Hou Yuxiao heard the names of these forces, a hint of speculation suddenly rose in his eyes.
"I'm going to a banquet tonight. You should go back and rest first. Remember to practice!"
"Yes, master."
…………
The leaders of the third-rate forces are basically all at the Dan Bao stage, and with the addition of three master-level masters including himself, this lineup will definitely not target the Tongling Blood Demon, nor the war between the two states.
Now even the masters of the Yuandan realm are here in the county. There must be other masters in the five holy places, plus the two heavenly temples. These talents are here for the Tongling Blood Demon or the war between the two states.
At this juncture, if Tong Hu summons these small characters, his goal can only be the Qinglong Order for the upcoming Rakshasa Festival.
Hou Yuxiao didn't think for long before he guessed Tong Hu's intention, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. These people who claim to be righteous should not be attracted by the Qinglong Order. Even if they want to get the Qinglong Order, they can't at least give it away.
On the bright side.
Then under what name is Tong Hu planning to summon them...
Support justice?
Or to attack the Qinglong Society’s arrogance?
Hou Yuxiao lowered his head and chuckled, and stopped thinking about it. He returned to the courtyard and concentrated on teaching everyone in Wan Xiaolou how to practice.
He waited until Xu Shi was almost here before letting everyone rest early, while he went to the banquet in the dark with a magic ape stick.
"Senior Ren is here. Master Tong has been waiting for a long time. Please come in quickly!"
As soon as Hou Yuxiao entered the first floor, a boy came up to him with a smile.
This master-level master named Ren Feng accepts disciples regardless of their qualifications. He even accepts disabled people like Wan Xiaolou.
Knowing this, the young man was extremely enthusiastic and hoped that Hou Yuxiao would also take a fancy to him. After all, if he could become his disciple, he would be very successful in the future.
"Well, take me there!"
There was some disappointment on the boy's face, but he didn't dare to show it to his face. He still respectfully led Hou Yuxiao up to the third floor, walked to the door of an elegant room, and helped Hou Yuxiao gently open the door.
"Sect Master Tong Shao, Senior Ren has arrived."
Hou Yuxiao walked in with a cane, and his decrepit appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room!
