Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

In the Sheriff's Mansion.

While chatting, Zhang Yao and Li Xiaofeng also exchanged some experience in cultivation.

In fact, at the stage of the master, there is no way to advance in martial arts, and it is difficult to improve his strength. After all, all potentials have been tapped out.

usually:

The few years when he first cultivated his true qi were the peak of a master's strength, and as his qi and blood gradually declined, his strength would gradually decline.

At the age of Grandmaster Wang, it is already very good to be able to display 60 to 70% of his strength.

"Brother Zhang..."

The two exchanged for a while, Li Xiaofeng couldn't hold back, and revealed the idea of ​​inviting Zhang Yao to join the Cao Gang.

This is the real purpose of his visit to Zhang Yao this time.

If a master can be recruited into the Cao Gang, he can instantly overwhelm the merchant alliance and the government, and become the leading overlord in Jiangzhou.

However, just as he expressed his intention in this regard, Zhang Yao resolutely rejected it.

He came to enjoy the blessings of being the governor of the county, not to be a thug for others.

No matter how good the conditions offered by Li Xiaofeng were, he would not take them seriously. After all, no matter how generous the salary was, it was impossible for Li Xiaofeng to abdicate and let him be the boss of the Cao Gang.

"That would be such a pity..."

Li Xiaofeng felt a little regretful, but he didn't insist, and quickly changed the subject.

The two chatted for half an hour before Li Xiaofeng took his leave and Zhang Yao personally sent him out of the Sheriff's Mansion.

After Li Xiaofeng returned to the Cao Gang sub-helm, the head of the Baihe sub-helm led people to greet him:

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Everyone has his own aspirations."

Li Xiaofeng shook his head, and said:

"This old master Zhang is amazingly talented. He has become a master at a young age. He must not be willing to be inferior to others."

"But you don't have to worry, I think his idea is also very simple, that is, he has been successful in martial arts for many years, and he just wants to enjoy it."

"You do things according to his will, don't disobey what you think, and prepare generous gifts during the New Year and holidays, and he can't come to trouble us for nothing."

Hearing his words, Baihe Tudor was a little disappointed, but at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

If it is not forced, no one is willing to be an enemy with a grandmaster, even Li Xiaofeng is no exception.

Since the county guard, Mr. Zhang, did not intervene in the specific affairs of Baihe City, and only wanted to enjoy himself from above, it was already the best ending.

…………

Happy days always pass quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yao had been the governor of Baihe City for more than two years.

The people of Baihe City have gradually become accustomed to this Master Zhang who likes luxury and delicious food and beautiful women.

In the streets and alleys, some anecdotes about him are often circulated:

A certain peasant girl was spotted by Mr. Zhang who was out for fun, and she was brought into the mansion. The family immediately rose to heaven, moved into the city and became a rich man, arousing the envy of everyone.

During a certain trip to the lake, Master Zhang showed his peerless martial arts again and saved several people who had capsized and fell into the water, which became a good story for a while.

Some gossip said that Mr. Zhang didn't want to leave any heirs, so he liked to be outside every time, but those goblins were not happy, and often fought wits and courage with him...

It was even heard that he invented a lot of new clothes for the beautiful maids of the county guard's mansion, but no one had actually seen them.

Gradually, all kinds of interesting stories and rumors about Mr. Zhang became the daily talk of the people in Baihe City.

Although no one dared to say anything bad about him, all kinds of speculations and discussions were always spread in private, and everyone's enthusiasm for participation was very high.

Arranging jokes about big shots is also one of the sources of joy for the people at the bottom.

On this day, a luxurious boat was floating on Baibo Lake.

Zhang Yao was lying on the deck of the building, the rocking chair was dangling, and the little maid beside him was peeling grapes for him to eat.

"...Is what you said true or false?"

He ate the grapes, and said vaguely: "That 'Pingbo Dragon King', also met a fairy in Baibo Lake?"

"Really, everyone spreads it like that!"

The maid who peeled the grapes for him said with a smile:

"I heard that Chief Li was just a boy from a fisherman's family in Baihe City at the beginning. His family was extremely poor and his life was very difficult."

"Until one day, when he was fishing in Baibo Lake, he ran into an immortal, and rewarded him with some panacea, which opened his eyes."

"After that, he joined the Cao Gang and started from the bottom. He quickly stood out and became the Hall Master, Steering Master, and finally the Gang Leader step by step!"

Zhang Yao laughed, and said indifferently:

"It's all fake news."

"I have personally met Li Xiaofeng, he is similar to Master and I, it's just that he is good at martial arts."

"If it is said that he has seen some immortals and knows some immortal skills, I will be the first to not believe it."

"You thought his nickname was 'Pingbo Dragon King', so he really became the Dragon King?"

The servant girl pouted and said in disbelief:

"This news, but my grandfather told me personally."

"It is said that Gang Leader Li said it himself back then. He said that he saw the immortal who stepped on the water without a trace, and there was a lot of trouble at that time."

"However, decades have passed, and not many people have heard of it."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao sat up straight and snorted:

"Treading water without trace, right?"

"Then open your eyes and take a good look."

As soon as the words fell, he already made a vertical leap, leaping directly off the boat and onto the surface of the lake.

The many maids on the deck of the building suddenly let out an exclamation, but then their eyes widened.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"...

Zhang Yao's figure changed at an astonishingly fast speed, and he stepped on the water without sinking.

Take a closer look:

Every foot of him stepped heavily on the lake surface. With such a huge force, it should have exploded like a boulder falling into the sky, but under his ingenious control of strength and use of true energy, only a few waves were splashed. Small splashes.

The huge force bombarded the water surface, shaking the undercurrent, and at the same time lifted his body, and immediately rushed towards the next place.

Under the absolute speed and astonishing skills, Zhang Yao actually realized the legend of "walking through the water without a trace".

"Boom!"

He stepped on the water for a lap, landed on the boat again, and said triumphantly:

"How is it? Have you seen it clearly?"

"Treading water without a trace, your master and I will too."

A group of maidservants immediately gathered around and said in one go:

"Master is amazing!"

"Master's martial arts are simply as high as the sky..."

Hearing their flattery and admiration, Zhang Yao immediately burst out laughing as he enjoyed their adoring eyes.

"Such a good day, I really won't get tired of it after a hundred years."
