Chapter 72 Settling Down

  Wei Yixiao listened and suddenly fell silent. After a long time of contemplation, he smiled and said: "This time, if it's really as you said, I'll owe you one favor. In the future, if you have any matters, I, Ming Jiao, will definitely lend my full support!"

  Wei Yixiao was talking about the Ming Cult, not himself. It's easy to imagine how shocked he must have been. He had benefited from it personally, but the benefits for the Ming Cult were even greater. Not to mention what Wu Ming said could end the Ming Cult's nearly forty years of chaos, just the death of Yang Dingtian alone was a huge shock to the Ming Cult, and it also meant that they had eliminated one of their sworn enemies, so they wouldn't be plotted against in the future without even realizing it.

  Just as he thought, the feud between Cheng Kun and Xie Xun was also a grudge of the Ming Cult, but after all, it didn't involve many people, so at that time, only Xie Xun went crazy to kill Cheng Kun, while the rest of the Ming Cult didn't move. But if Yang Dingtian's death is also related to Cheng Kun, and that guy still holds a grudge against the Ming Cult, then it's not just a simple personal vendetta.

  Wu Ming chuckled and said, "Wei Bat King, you're an old hand at this sort of thing. I'll just leave it to you then. Thanks for saving my life, but now that things are settled here, I'll take my leave. I have some personal matters to attend to in Lingzhou Prefecture."

  "Go on, go on!" Wei smiled and didn't have the slightest intention of keeping him, waving his hand as if shooing away a fly.

  At this time, did he still have any thoughts? Hadn't he already been thinking about going to find Yang Tie Xin and telling him about Cheng Kun's affairs? Of course, his disciple Zhang Wuji wouldn't be confessing at this point, just like Wu Ming said, after learning the Nine Yin Manual, going on to learn the Heaven and Earth Great Shift would almost be a piece of cake, why bother letting them waste their thoughts on it?

  After all, Wei Yixiao is not a saint, and he also has a dead heart. However, thinking of Yang Xun's face, Wei Yixiao hesitated again. That kid was too arrogant!

  Yang Xiao is indeed a very proud person, intelligent and talented in martial arts, with an untamed personality and a hint of elegance. He currently holds the position of leader of the Ming Cult, and is even younger than Jin Mao Shi Wang, the youngest of the four great masters, by several years. At just over sixty years old, he will not reach seventy for another year or two. This means that he was only in his twenties when he became the left guardian of the Ming Cult, and has since continuously improved his martial arts skills, even earning the recognition of Yang Tian as a potential successor, who passed on to him the first two layers of the Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi heart method. His current abilities are even stronger than those of the four great masters. How could someone like this not be proud?

  Let's put aside the grudges of Ming Jiao for now. Let's talk about Wu Ming, who hastened his pace, learning the lightness skill of Qing Yi Bat King along the way.

  This qinggong body method is called the Chasing Immortal Body Method. The name was given by Qingyi Bat King himself, and the technique was also created by him. From this name alone, it can be seen how confident Qingyi Bat King is in his qinggong, chasing immortals, how fast does that need to be? However, he also has the capital to be proud of, even if Mo Shi Pang Ban's martial arts are unparalleled, but in terms of qinggong alone, he cannot catch up with Wei Yixiao, this old bat.

  Wu Ming went down the mountain, and as he walked, he began to ponder. Taking advantage of the time he had now, he decided to practice his skills first. However, after Wu Ming finished reading the manual on body techniques, all he could do was sigh in dismay - this lightness skill was clearly tailored for the Green Winged Bat King, and although he could learn it, he really couldn't master it!

  What is described inside, the kind of step method that treads on empty space and moves forward, is almost like flying with the wind in myths. If one really practices to achieve great success, they can absolutely fly and dance in the sky like an immortal. Especially as recorded above, if one reaches great success, they can move with the wind without needing to rotate their true yuan.

  Wei Yixiao, this guy, is indeed a rare talent. Compared to Tian Boguang, who claims to be the only one in the world... well, there's no comparison. Although both have their own unique skills in lightness kung fu, the gap between them is really too big. One is just simply pursuing speed, while the other has already integrated lightness kung fu into his martial arts. As for that Black Bat from back then, he was completely a nobody, not worth mentioning.

  As for martial arts, I won't introduce it here for now, but it will be mentioned later, and it's definitely not just a simple state.

  Trying to learn the basic footwork recorded in the secret book, the practice was done under the feet, and the speed of going down the mountain suddenly increased by more than double, and the true yuan saved at least doubled.

  "Haha, no wonder I had to learn qinggong! It turns out it's like this, it turns out it's like this!" Wu Ming excitedly shouted. He used to think that with his thick and heavy true yuan, even without qinggong, he wouldn't be slow at all? But now that he has obtained the Chasing Immortal Body Technique, he finally understands, this thing is just like martial skills.

  Martial skills are used to cleverly attack and defend, although it is also possible to achieve this with pure True Qi, opening mountains and splitting rocks. But with martial skills, the power is at least several times, tens of times, or even hundreds of times greater. Lightness skills are the same, they can both conserve True Qi and increase speed, why not use them?

  It originally took at least six hours to reach Lingzhou Prefecture, but as Wu Ming gradually became more familiar with the route, he actually arrived in just over three hours. He found the hidden note left by the grandfather and grandson, and finally found Dongfang Xue and her grandfather in an ordinary civilian house.

  The two of them didn't relax until they saw Wu Ming appear. It had been four days, and they hadn't received any news from Wu Ming, so they didn't dare leave this place. In order to avoid the Zhao family, they didn't dare stay in a hotel, so they rented a house instead. They also didn't dare go out to buy food, and all their meals were made by the landlord's hands under false pretenses. As a result, the silver on them was almost depleted. If Wu Ming still didn't come, it was estimated that this grandfather-grandson pair would have no choice but to leave as well.

  Wu Ming knew that the Zhao family was powerful, and he himself couldn't upgrade due to his root bone issues. At this time, Wu Ming didn't plan to provoke the Zhao family again. The main task was to first avoid the Zhao family and improve his root bone, then practice his lightness skill well, and also cultivate his Indestructible Golden Body.

  Another ten days passed, and the grandfather-grandson duo headed towards Tian Chao. They finally arrived at Nan He Town, where Wu Ming first entered the Jianghu. There were not many people in the Jianghu here, and their strength was just so-so. The master of the Nan He Martial Arts Academy, who claimed to be the number one expert in Nan He Town, only had a Later Heaven Seventh Heaven cultivation base.

  It seems that I've finally settled down here. According to Wu Ming's thoughts, it's likely that he won't leave this town for at least a year if nothing happens. For now, let's spend some time solidifying my own strength first. There are many good techniques on my body, but after all, they rely on system exchange and upgrades, and many things haven't been practiced diligently.

  Spent a few thousand taels of silver to buy a small courtyard, said the small courtyard is not quite right, just like Wu Ming's main courtyard, inside it is still an independent small courtyard, with a considerable area, which is perfect for practicing. The three people moved in. The two from the East House seemed a bit constrained, but they also had some time to get in touch, and after a few days, they got used to it.

  On this day, Wu Ming ran the Nine Yang True Origin in his meridians for three large cycles, and after sweating profusely, he took out the Undying Golden Body technique to study.

  Those martial arts and techniques, as long as they have a system, will naturally understand the meaning of the words once they come into contact with them. Wanting to comprehend one is to ponder it oneself, and another is to exchange it. However, strangely, although this Golden Body Technique was understood, no matter how he practiced, there wasn't much progress, which left Wu Ming baffled.

  Just then, a voice came from the entrance of the courtyard: "Hehe, has the young master finished his practice?"

  This is Dongfang Muyun, also known as the grandfather of Dongfang Xue. Since this old man moved in with Wu Ming, he insisted on saying that he was taking care of Wu Ming's household and his title changed too. At first, he insisted on calling Wu Ming "Old Master", but after Wu Ming said a few words, it became "Young Master". He looked like a loyal servant of the Wu family.
