Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 91: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain!

Seeing Cai Jianghong successfully break through and rise into the sky, the dazzling golden light shone brightly, reflecting with the nearby Ye Feihong.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Zimo took out the remaining sixteen "Boundary Breaking Pills" and announced loudly in front of everyone:

"Starting from today, the military department will add sixteen of these 'Boundary Breaking Pills' to the military resources that can be exchanged externally. These pills can directly promote peak Iron Bone Realm martial artists to break through and advance to the next level!"

"All martial artists in Luozhou City who have reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm will have the qualification to exchange military merits for these 'Boundary Breaking Pills'!"

"If your military merits are insufficient, you can also join the military department like Master Cai and serve for ten years in exchange for the pills!"

"The specific details can be consulted at the military department later. In short, the spots are limited, so those who want to step into the Golden Body Realm directly need to work even harder!"

After speaking, Liu Zimo waved his right hand and took back the porcelain bottle containing the "Boundary Breaking Pills".

The many martial artists watching downstairs were once again ignited by the news announced by Liu Zimo.

Especially those who had already broken through to the Iron Bone Realm, their eyes turned red and they became restless, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Soon, these people couldn't be bothered to watch the excitement anymore. They all returned home to seclude themselves, determined not to leave until they broke through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.

Even those martial artists who had not reached the Iron Bone Realm, when they saw the two golden suns floating in the sky, they all envied and coveted them.

Although the hope was slim, they also wanted to try and make a breakthrough. What if they were lucky enough to become the last one among those sixteen lucky ones?

That's the Golden Body Realm!

Any martial artist with a little knowledge of martial arts understands the meaning represented by the Golden Body Realm.

With the completion of the Golden Body, the beginning of the Innate.

After successfully stepping into the Golden Body Realm, not only does one have their own domain, but they also gain the ability to fly briefly in the air.

More importantly, with the completion of the Innate, their lifespan greatly increases. After breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, a martial artist's lifespan can increase by at least forty years, or even more!

A lifespan of forty years, who can resist that?

Looking at the increasingly sparse crowd below, Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that everyone is quite ambitious. The enthusiasm of everyone has been fully mobilized, hasn't it?

"Advisor Liu, I don't know if we have the opportunity to participate in the exchange for these 'Boundary Breaking Pills'?"

At this moment, Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin also approached at the same time, eagerly asking Liu Zimo.

Sun Hao, who was guarding Zhao Hongzhang downstairs, was also eagerly listening, waiting for Liu Zimo's answer.

It can be seen that they were all tempted.

But this was not surprising. Liu Guangsheng and the others were already at the mid-stage of the Iron Bone Realm, and they had a great chance of breaking through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm in a short period of time.

If possible, they naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and soar to the Golden Body Realm in one go.

As guards of the military department who had been exposed to martial arts for two years, Liu Guangsheng and the others were well aware of how difficult it was for ordinary martial artists to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

At least, the advisor they admired the most, Hong Zongguan, practiced for more than sixty years before barely advancing to the Golden Body Realm.

Although the three of them had some talent, they didn't dare to compare themselves to Advisor Hong.

If Advisor Hong, who took more than sixty years to advance to the Golden Body Realm, then for them, it would be even more difficult to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

Therefore, when they saw a shortcut that could directly promote their breakthrough, they naturally wanted to give it a try!

"Of course!" Liu Zimo replied firmly, "As members of our military department, the three of you will enjoy a special offer of exchanging the 'Boundary Breaking Pill' with half the military merits!"

"Hmm, for outsiders to exchange the 'Boundary Breaking Pill,' they would need at least three thousand military merits, but for you, only three hundred will suffice!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangsheng, Wei Yuanbin, and Sun Hao's hearts skipped a beat, expressing their gratitude to Liu Zimo repeatedly.

No one would be foolish enough to remind Liu Zimo that if the halving of three thousand military merits should be three hundred military merits, it should actually be one thousand five hundred military merits.

They all knew very well that this was Advisor Liu deliberately taking care of them!

Otherwise, how could Advisor Liu possibly make such a simple mathematical mistake?

"Furthermore, your protection of my nephew is not unpaid work. I'm not that stingy," Liu Zimo continued.

"During the time you protect my nephew, each of you will receive a reward of ten military merits every day, which can be prioritized for exchanging martial resources needed for cultivation at the military resources department!"

"When you break through to the Golden Body Realm, the daily military merit reward will also double!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangsheng and the others couldn't help but express their gratitude to Liu Zimo once again.

With ten military merits per day, they would only need ten days to accumulate enough military merits to exchange for the 'Boundary Breaking Pill'!

Moreover, the surplus military merits could also be used to prioritize the exchange of cultivation resources at the military resources department, accelerating their cultivation progress and breaking through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm as soon as possible!

Advisor Liu was clearly giving them benefits!

If they couldn't break through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm and become one of the sixteen lucky ones qualified to exchange for the 'Boundary Breaking Pill' despite such generous conditions, then they might as well find a tofu and smash themselves to death!

Liu Guangsheng and the others took a deep breath at the same time, secretly reminding themselves to work even harder in their cultivation and not to disappoint Advisor Liu's care and expectations!

At the same time, they were extremely grateful that they had chosen to follow and serve Advisor Liu from the very beginning.

Otherwise, where would they have such a direct opportunity to advance to the Golden Body Realm?

After a moment, the golden light on Xiao Feihong's body dissipated, and she slowly descended from mid-air to the rooftop.

"Haha! Master, did you see that? I can fly now too!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly, flying around Liu Zimo like a little elf.

Before, when she followed Master from the capital to Luozhou, she was extremely envious of Master's ability to fly freely at any time.

Since then, she had been shouting in her heart every day that one day, she would also be able to soar freely in the sky like Master.

Now, her dream had finally come true!

She had finally broken through to the Golden Body Realm, possessing the same cultivation strength as Master did at the beginning, and could also fly freely in the sky!

"It's really great!" Liu Zimo praised generously, "At least, when Master was your age, he didn't have such cultivation strength!"

"However, even if your cultivation has advanced, you must remain humble and not become arrogant or complacent."

"Remember, there are many people in this world who are stronger than you."

"Let's not talk about others, just the bad monk who tried to steal from you today, and the old monk who was taken away by Sister Si Si before, their cultivation is all above yours!"

Liu Zimo habitually entered the mode of ideological education, so that his precious disciple wouldn't become conceited and neglect their daily cultivation.

He still hoped that Xiaofeihong could break through to the Manifested Saint Realm as soon as possible, helping him achieve transcendence and entry into sainthood early!

"I understand, I understand!"

Xiaofeihong affectionately hugged Liu Zimo's arm and said in a sweet voice,

"Master, rest assured, your disciple has always regarded you as a role model and hopes to surpass you one day and protect you in return!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but burst into laughter. He raised his hand and patted the little girl's head, praising her for her ambition and commendable courage.

It's just a pity that, with him as her master, it's unlikely that the little girl's wish will ever come true in her lifetime!

[Your good brother Cai Jianghong has swallowed a top-grade Breaking Realm Pill, solidifying his foundation and skyrocketing his vitality and blood! Triggering the 'Heaven Thief' innate ability, sharing half of the blood increase, Martial Dao foundation +5, vitality and blood +20,000.]

[Your good brother Cai Jianghong has cultivated the 'Turtle Breathing Technique' and gained enlightenment, his energy surging, breaking through to the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm! Triggering the 'Heaven Thief' innate ability, sharing half of the cultivation increase, Martial Dao cultivation +15, spiritual power +5, lifespan +20.]

At this moment, Liu Zimo received a notification about Cai Jianghong successfully breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, and his mood became even more beautiful.

Although Cai Jianghong's aptitude was not as good as Xiaofeihong's, the increase in his cultivation after the breakthrough was far behind Xiaofeihong's.

But this was just one of the seventeen "good brothers." Soon, he would receive the second, third, and all the way up to the seventeenth "good brother's" fortuitous gifts.

Little by little, grains of sand accumulate to form a tower!

When there were many "good brothers" who broke through to the Golden Body Realm, the increase in cultivation they could contribute to Liu Zimo would far surpass what Xiaofeihong alone could achieve!

This is what they call quantity making up for lack of quality.

The saying "strength in numbers" holds true no matter when it is applied!

After more than ten minutes, as the golden light on Cai Jianghong faded away, he also woke up from the state of breaking through.

The crowd that had been watching the excitement gradually dispersed.

Cai Jianghong once again bowed to Liu Zimo to express his gratitude and loyalty, then followed the agreement and flew to the military camp to report to Liang Luo.

At this point, the villa area returned to tranquility.

Until near noon, Yang Sisi appeared in the villa courtyard again with a written confession.

"Advisor Liu, this is all the martial arts and secret techniques obtained from Master Zhishan's mouth. Please have a look!"

Yang Sisi respectfully handed the stack of documents to Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo casually took them and glanced at them.

[Adamantine Finger], [Demon Suppression Technique], [Immovable Vajra Mantra], [Ksitigarbha's Prayer Sutra]...

Nine sets of brand new martial arts techniques and spiritual secret techniques.

Especially the [Immovable Vajra Mantra] and [Ksitigarbha's Prayer Sutra], two spiritual secret techniques comparable to Heaven Grade martial arts, even in the next thirty years, Dali Temple had never truly made them public.

Only true disciples who were willing to join Dali Temple would be selectively taught!

Unexpectedly, Yang Sisi was able to easily extract this information from Master Zhishan's mouth!

Although he didn't know what methods she used specifically, as long as the result was good, everything else didn't matter.

"Well done!"

Liu Zimo's mouth curved slightly, nodding in satisfaction.

"It's quite impressive to be able to extract so many martial arts secrets from the mouth of a master-level martial artist so quickly!"

"The sixteen 'Boundary Breaking Pills' that I sent to the military supply department earlier, you can go and get one in advance. Once you break through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm, you can take it immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Sisi's face showed a pleasant surprise, and she quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

The reputation of the 'Boundary Breaking Pills' had already spread throughout the entire Luozhou City like a hurricane half an hour ago.

As a practitioner of the Iron Bone Realm, Yang Sisi naturally had heard of it and was extremely tempted.

However, she never expected that she would become the first among the sixteen lucky ones!

Advisor Liu has been so good to her!

"Just like the martial arts secrets we confiscated before, put these nine sets of techniques into the martial arts library and let all the martial artists in the city exchange and practice freely!"

Liu Zimo handed the document back to Yang Sisi and asked softly,

"How is Master Zhishan now? Has he done anything like indiscriminate killing?"

Yang Sisi took the document with both hands and replied softly,

"Master Zhishan is fine, and we haven't found any evidence of him doing anything against conscience or the law!"

"I have to say, this old monk, although he has a bad temper and a stubborn mouth, his conduct is still decent enough to be called a 'master'."

Liu Zimo nodded knowingly, which was not much different from his previous judgment.

Most of the monks in Dalin Temple were able to stay true to their original intentions.

Otherwise, the federal government in the previous life would not have accepted their submission so easily.

"In that case, don't keep him locked up anymore, just release him!" Liu Zimo ordered softly.

"What? Release... release him?!"

Yang Sisi looked up in surprise and hurriedly advised,

"Advisor Liu, he is a master-level martial artist. If we release him like this, it is undoubtedly letting a tiger back into the mountains. It will likely bring endless trouble in the future!"

In Yang Sisi's view, although Master Zhishan couldn't be considered a bad person, he had clearly become opposed to Advisor Liu and the military department.

Even if they didn't want to kill him, they couldn't just let him go so easily!

They had already offended him so much.

To put it bluntly, during the interrogation, they even found out the color of his underwear.

If they let him go like this, wouldn't they be waiting for retaliation?

"It doesn't matter!" Liu Zimo said indifferently, "I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to meet the martial arts genius of this thousand-year-old ancient temple!"

Letting a tiger back into the mountains?

No, he was actually luring the tiger out of the mountains!

By not provoking conflicts or causing trouble, how could those high-ranking monks and martial arts prodigies who secluded themselves in Dalin Temple be willing to come to Luozhou City on their own initiative?

If they didn't come, who would eliminate the many monsters outside Luozhou City?

If they didn't come, where would Liu Zimo find so many good brothers to fill the vacancies?

Just one red-clothed shadow like Master Zhishan was far from satisfying Liu Zimo's ever-expanding appetite.
