Chapter 122: Borrowing a Tiger's Power to Leave the Mountain

  Just as Guo Fei predicted, the people who were after him were attracted to Zhao's surroundings in large numbers. Last time, Guo Fei stayed in Shangjie Prefecture after killing the soldiers of Zhao, so when King Zhao Tianyu learned about the incident in the capital, he was afraid that Guo Fei would repeat his old tricks and immediately led his men back to search around the capital, fearing that Guo Fei would emerge again to launch a surprise attack on other places, even Heishi Prefecture was in a state of tension.

  Zhao Wang Zhao Tianyu is now regretting even his intestines, originally to deal with a low-level cultivator, but now not only has he provoked the demon clan, this low-level cultivator has turned into a terrifying existence overnight, and a group of eerie warriors have gathered around him.

  The king's capital was defeated in one battle, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of fog, with figures flitting about, killing tens of thousands of soldiers. Even the skilled Emperor Wu Zong was injured several times. Despite this, they did not even get a clear look at how many men were in Guo Fei's army.

  Guo Fei had long left the capital of Zhao State and fled to Wanjue Mountain in the southeast. Along the way, he disguised himself as a humble traveler, letting Liang Tie take the lead. However, when Guo Fei was less than a thousand miles away from Wanjue Mountain, he stopped advancing and stayed put, observing the situation quietly, fearing that he would fall into the trap set by the enemy near Wanjue Mountain. The place where Guo Fei chose to stay was near Qingjiang City, the county seat of Anguo Gong, the lord of southern Zhao State.

  This place is indeed a rich and prosperous land of Zhao, with fertile soil, warm climate, and dense population. Guo Fei asked Liang Tie to inquire about a secluded residence, and as a result, Liang Tie quickly returned, having seen an advertisement outside the city wall showing that a manor was selling for only 100 gold coins, so Guo Fei and his companions purchased this manor.

  This manor is less than a hundred miles away from Qingjiang City, with the largest river in Zhao State, Qingjiang River, in front of it, and a dense forest behind. To its left and right are two extremely large villages within ten miles. The manor has hundreds of rooms, deep courtyards, tall trees blocking out the sun, and dry leaves covering the entire garden, spanning over thousands of acres. It looks like no one has lived here for a long time, with waves of cold air emanating from inside.

  "What a great place, how can it be sold for only 100 gold coins?" Guo Fei led Liang Tie, Hu Xiaoyue and Jin Ying into the house, saying with some surprise.

  "You're a rich person, of course you don't know the bitterness of poor people. One hundred gold coins are already a huge fortune." Jin Ying said coldly.

  Guo Fei smiled faintly and didn't say a word. Jin Ying looked at all the men under the sky with discontent, as if they all had a grudge against her. Only when facing the shy Liang Tie could she be calm and composed.

  "Heh heh." Hu Xiaoyue saw Guo Fei being scolded by Jin Ying and suddenly smiled, saying: "Sister is right, but I've lived in this place for a long time, and I still understand the market. This manor for 100 gold coins is indeed a bit cheap, abnormal means ominous, let's be careful!"

  Guo Fei summoned the Giant Spirit and Evil Spirit Battle Teams to come out and clean up, tidy up the room, and prepare to stay here.

  The moonlight filtered through the branches of the big trees, casting a serene and unusual tranquility over the manor. Guo Fei sat upright in the center of the courtyard, gazing at the faint moonlight as he reminisced about past times, unable to help but feel deeply moved.

  "Xiao Yue, how's the organization of the books going?" Guo Fei asked softly as he saw Hu Xiao Yue walk out. Since they had raided the library of the Cult Master's mansion, Guo Fei had let Hu Xiao Yue, along with Liang Tie and Jin Ying, roam freely in the grand hall of the military symbol space to organize these books.

  "Master, this time the harvest is too great, there are many ancient books inside, recording a large amount of knowledge. Also found a practice manual called 'Hun Tian Ning Qi Jue', which is a higher level of practice than Ning Qi Jue, very suitable for your human cultivators to cultivate. Shall I let Tie Zi and Jin Ying sister practice it?" Hu Xiao Yue said softly.

  "Hmm, let them cultivate!" Guo Fei nodded and said softly.

  "Master, Liang Tie and Jin Ying's levels are rising too quickly. I'm afraid their physical bodies can't keep up, which will affect their future development." Guo Fei told all this to Hu Xiao Yue, who is now deep in thought.

  "I know this, I have the opportunity to buy some small Pei Yuan Dan for them to improve their physical strength, let them strengthen their physical training and diligently cultivate their heart method." Guo Fei said thoughtfully. Without the cultivation of the viscera and meridians, the improvement in physical strength is limited, but the cultivation methods of the viscera and meridians are extremely difficult to obtain, requiring opportunities.

  Then, Guo Fei took out the jade slips one by one, which was the most precious thing he had obtained from the residence of the cultivator. Now, Guo Fei finally had time to check what was recorded inside.

  "Ice Exploding Arrow! Ground Level Down, Ultimate Skill." Guo Fei used his divine sense to examine the first jade slip and suddenly felt a bit disappointed. This was an ultimate skill suitable for water-based arrow cultivation, suitable for Liang Tie's cultivation, but Liang Tie had not yet cultivated his yuanqi and could not practice it at all.

  "Poisonous trick! The ultimate technique of the Earth Stage. Requires a Wood-attribute physique to cultivate." Guo Fei thought for a moment, this was actually very suitable for Jin Ying to cultivate, she had a Wood-attribute physique, as long as she cultivated her Yuan Qi, she could cultivate it. But it was just that a delicate and lovely girl like her cultivating such a poisonous technique, he didn't know if she would be willing or not, Guo Fei didn't want to force her.

  Through extensive reading of various books, Guo Fei learned that Mu Yuan Qi is the vital energy of life, containing a large amount of life essence. The healing effect of wood-attribute techniques is stronger than that of water-attribute techniques. As the saying goes, "things will reverse when they reach an extreme", the vigorous and thriving wood-attribute yuan qi can be transformed into a deadly poisonous attack through a special technique. Guo Fei guessed that Jin Ying's poisoning didn't kill her because of her physical constitution, which was related to the wood attribute, saving her life, but the toxin floated on her face, ruining her appearance and greatly changing her personality.

  Guo Fei shared his speculation with Hu Xiaoyue and handed the jade slip to her, letting her privately ask for Jin Ying's opinion. Whether or not to cultivate it would depend on herself.

  "Master, I'll go tell Sister Jin Ying!" Hu Xiaoyue nodded and left with the jade tablet.

  "Golden Shield! Earth Stage Lower Bound Ultimate Skill." After examining another jade slip, Guo Fei was overjoyed, this one suited his cultivation.

  The remaining jade slips recorded the tactics, and there was a complex text in the space of the military symbol. Guo Fei knew that he had to work together with Ha Cheng to engrave this text, infuse it with yuan energy, and then cast the tactic. This is something that a tactician must put effort into practicing. Although Guo Fei was interested, he didn't want to spend too much energy on this for now.

  Although he didn't break through to the Yuanjing realm and cultivate his Yuan Qi, the sword guard energy should be at the same level as Yuan Qi. Guo Fei experimented with it, using the Jin Guang Shield's technique to call upon the sword guard energy, circulating it within his body. After three hours of practice, he finally managed to bring it out, and a faint white light shield appeared in front of him.

  "It's done." Guo Fei was delighted in his heart, just as he had guessed, the sword guard energy flow could be used to perform ultimate techniques. Moreover, it seemed that the energy consumption was not much. However, his own ultimate technique was still not proficient, and the light shield defense effect was not obvious. As his sword guard energy level improved, his grasp of the ultimate technique would become more refined, and the light shield would condense into a solid object, greatly enhancing its defensive effect.
