Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

The restaurant.

Liang Jin and Magistrate Qiu Zhuo had finished their meal and were heading downstairs together.

Miao Yuanzheng and Zhang You each stood behind them.

Qiu Zhuo had drunk some wine and was a little tipsy, almost missing a step as he descended the stairs.

Liang Jin quickly grabbed his hand:

“Magistrate, watch your step, the road ahead is long.”

Qiu Zhuo's smile was somewhat forced:

“Thank you, Great Virtuous Teacher.”

“These stairs are difficult to navigate; thankfully, I had the Great Virtuous Teacher's assistance.”

“But the Great Virtuous Teacher's path is not easy either.”

Qiu Zhuo felt a surge of anger in his heart.

This negotiation had been very unsuccessful.

He truly detested begging for money.

Secretary Zhang and himself had worn out their tongues, only managing to squeeze a little money from the Great Virtuous Teacher.

But this amount was only a tenth of the originally agreed sum.

The Great Virtuous Teacher had flatly refused to discuss the Taiping Dao roster.

Qiu Zhuo had made absolutely no progress on this matter.

Liang Jin smiled and said:

“I have walked every road in this place, I know which ones are easy and which are not.”

“But I have heard that the world is wider elsewhere, and I would like to see it.”

Qiu Zhuo's heart stirred upon hearing this.

He had already heard that the Taiping Dao's influence was expanding to other counties.

Even Qingzhou Prefecture had begun preparations to establish a branch.

After all, Taiyang County was too small, and the Taiping Dao was developing too quickly; a small pond was destined to be unable to hold a dragon.

Immediately, Qiu Zhuo laughed loudly:

“Hahahaha, if the Great Virtuous Teacher intends to change his path, this official will definitely assist you with all my strength.”

He had long wished for the Great Virtuous Teacher and the Taiping Dao's influence to leave Taiyang County as soon as possible.

Otherwise, after a few more days, Qiu Zhuo feared that the county government would not even be able to collect taxes.

The two spoke as they walked, leaving the restaurant together.

Outside the restaurant, both of their sedan chairs were waiting.

“Great Virtuous Teacher, farewell.”

Qiu Zhuo cupped his fist and entered his sedan chair.

“Magistrate, take care.”

Liang Jin turned and also entered his sedan chair.

The two sedan chairs departed in different directions.

Liang Jin's sedan chair had only traveled a short distance when a string of information suddenly appeared on the panel:

【Congratulations, Host, for successfully killing ten targets locked by Thousand Mile Tracking. Reward: Soft Hedgehog Armor.】

Seeing this, Liang Jin knew that his clone in the desert had hunted down ten bandits.

This 【Thousand Mile Tracking】 trait was truly a hunting artifact.

No matter how the enemy hid, they could always be found and killed.

He glanced at the newly acquired reward:

【Soft Hedgehog Armor: Impervious to blades, can defend against close-range internal fist and palm techniques.】

Not being poisonous was good, otherwise, if he accidentally injured himself and got poisoned, he wouldn't even have an antidote.

This 【Soft Hedgehog Armor】 was an item, so it was stored in the item column.

Liang Jin's heart stirred, and an object appeared in his hand.

This was a dark and spiky armor, woven from an unknown metal thread and ancient vine branches.

Its material was soft, but it was very tough, and ordinary swords could not cut it open.

Especially its surface was covered with barbs and hooks, and once flesh, fists, or palms touched it, they would be injured.

“This is a good treasure.”

“Unless I encounter a high-ranking expert or blunt weapons, it can increase my chances of survival.”

Liang Jin immediately took off his coat and put on the Soft Hedgehog Armor.

The Soft Hedgehog Armor was soft and elastic, and wearing it did not affect his movements at all.

After Liang Jin put on his coat again, it was impossible to tell from the outside that he was wearing a soft armor underneath.

“It's a pity that there is only one Soft Hedgehog Armor, not enough to share.”

Liang Jin had one main body and two clones, making it difficult to share one piece of treasure armor.

At this moment.

A new message popped up on the system panel:

【Congratulations, Host, for successfully curing ten thousand patients with talisman water. Special reward: All martial arts proficiency greatly increased!】

In the next moment, new insights into all martial arts techniques surged into Liang Jin's mind.

These martial arts insights seemed to be completely imprinted into his bones and muscle memory, allowing him to reach a new height in his understanding of all martial arts.

“Damn!”

Liang Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this.

The reward for curing ten thousand patients was so generous?

He quickly checked his panel:

【Host: Liang Jin】

【Cultivation: Martial Artist Seventh Rank】

【Martial Arts: 《Imperial Guard Long Fist》 (Eighth Level), 《Coiling Dragon Staff Technique》 (Seventh Level), 《Taiyin Palm》 (Fifth Level), 《Great Subduing Demon Fist》 (Ninth Level), 《Northern Overlord Six Harmony Spear》 (Ninth Level), 《Bone Dissolving Palm》 (Fifth Level), 《Divine Travel Myriad Change》 (Fifth Level)】

【Traits: Talisman Water Healing, Thousand Mile Tracking】

【Number of Incarnations: 2】

【Items: Tiger Subduing Pill × 5, Longevity Paste × 1, Bone Strengthening Drug × 5, War Puppet (Wild Walker)】

Liang Jin looked at his panel and couldn't help but laugh.

The proficiency of all martial arts had actually been directly increased by five levels!

Among them, 《Great Subduing Demon Fist》 and 《Northern Overlord Six Harmony Spear》 were directly maxed out, reaching the highest Ninth Level!

He had originally planned to rely on his clones to practice martial arts and quickly improve his martial arts proficiency.

But now he realized.

Why bother with hard practice when you can cheat?

In the blink of an eye, he had greatly improved all his martial arts.

It should be known that improving martial arts not only requires years of hard practice, but also requires comprehension.

Especially wanting to max out a martial art is not an easy task.

Ordinary martial artists can barely max out one martial art in their lifetime.

The bandit leader One-Knife Saber that the desert clone encountered only practiced one saber technique in his life.

And his saber technique was only practiced to the Eighth Level, but he could instantly kill martial artists of the same realm, and almost killed Liang Jin.

Only martial artists with high comprehension and hard work can max out many martial arts to the Ninth Level in their lifetime.

Liang Jin's current level, placed in the entire martial world, is probably only possible for those true geniuses.

“As long as I don't encounter those top geniuses and freaks, then I can be considered invincible among my peers!”

“Within the Seventh Rank, it will be difficult to find an opponent.”

“Even ordinary Sixth Rank martial artists can be challenged.”

Liang Jin was full of confidence in this.

Focusing on and mastering a single martial art naturally has its benefits.

But having many martial arts also has the effect of having varied moves, making it difficult for the enemy to figure out.

And if you know more martial arts, then you can use different martial arts to deal with different enemies.

After all, there is a certain restraining relationship between some martial arts.

It's a pity.

Liang Jin is only at the Seventh Rank now, and cannot fully exert the true power of some maxed-out martial arts.

The higher the level of martial arts, the more powerful internal force is needed to cooperate after the number of levels is increased.

Especially in some top-level Heavenly Grade martial arts, a large number of moves require the release of internal force.

If a martial artist cannot release internal force, even if they practice these martial arts to the Ninth Level, the power they use may not even be as good as some of the lowest-level Yellow Grade martial arts.

After all, most of the moves in Yellow Grade secret manuals do not require the release of internal force to exert their full power.

When martial arts are restricted by realm, the power will naturally be greatly reduced.

“It seems that I also have to quickly improve my martial artist realm.”

“Fortunately, I'm almost there, I estimate I can break through after checking in for a few more days.”

Liang Jin was not in a hurry.

With the system, he can be more relaxed and faster than others.

At this moment.

The sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Outside the sedan chair, Miao Yuanzheng's voice rang out:

“Great Virtuous Teacher, someone is blocking the road.”

“And, the visitors are not friendly.”
