After Yang Chengye's relentless compression, removing the complex and preserving the simple, he finally compressed the Long City Swordsmanship from 49 moves to 36 moves, just like the Kongming Fist, without any fancy moves, using the fastest speed to injure or even kill the opponent.

  As for the combined finger technique, Yang Chengye was already familiar with it. Although he couldn't yet achieve the level of pointing at and hitting acupoints from three zhang away in mid-air, within a distance of one zhang, he could point to and hit any spot accurately without fail.

  After his training was complete, Yang Chengyi thought of the innate energy within himself again. Since repelling Ouyang Feng, it had gone dormant once more, and no matter how hard Yang Chengyi searched for it, he couldn't find it.

  It seems that this innate aura is still not something he can use at present, and it can only be used as a last resort to save his life.

  Defeating Ou Yangfeng, Yang Chengyi felt that with his current skills he had basically reached the level of a top-notch martial artist in Jianghu, and what he lacked was only actual combat experience.

  So far, Yang Chengyi has not yet received guidance from a true master and is completely relying on his own contemplation.

  Even disciples of great sects must travel and temper themselves in the world; closing oneself off to cultivate can only make one a frog at the bottom of a well.

  Having thought this through, Yang Chengye also had the idea of going out to gain experience, but he had also promised Wu Ruolan that he would participate in the imperial examination three years later, so it seemed like he needed to find an excuse.

  On this day, Yang Chengyong bought several modern matches and finally made real matches after improvement, which were convenient to carry and could be ignited with a swipe of the hand.

  Yang Chengye taught Shen You the production method, and Shen You enthusiastically started gathering people to start manufacturing. He also found a way to get rich, and he was no longer surprised by Yang Chengye's endless "inventions".

  Yang Chengye then found Wu Ruolan, after the nourishment of this period in the Shen family, Wu Ruolan had regained her vitality and was no longer as pale as she was a few months ago, but had truly become a noblewoman who was well-nourished and lived a life of luxury.

  Wu Ruolan was originally not very old, only in her early forties, and with her innate beauty, she looked almost the same as a woman in her thirties.

  Yang Chengye found Wu Ruolan in Zou's room and explained his intention, but he didn't say that he wanted to go to Jianghu for training, only saying that in order to respond to the imperial examination, he would go to the capital to find a college for systematic study.

  Wu Ruolan heard this and naturally agreed with both hands, saying: "Child, you want to go to the capital to support your mother, I'll pack my bags now, let's set off together."

  Wu Ruolan was about to leave with Yang Chengye, and Zou's family immediately became anxious.

  Zou Shi was able to create a large family business with her own ability as a woman, and her vision cannot be said to be not sharp. She had long seen the value of Yang Chengye.

  Yang Chengye wants to participate in the imperial examination and go to the capital's academy to study it. There is no reason to oppose it.

  As long as Wu Ruolan is at the Shen's house, Yang Chengye will eventually come back, but when Wu Ruolan has to leave, she becomes anxious.

  Zou grabbed Wu Rulan's hand and said, "Good sister, it's a good thing that our brother is going to school, we should support him. However, as a woman, you following him doesn't seem quite right."

  "Why don't you just stay here? Besides, Ji Zu and Yu Er are sworn brothers, the Shen family is your home too. I believe Yu Er and I have the same idea."

  Yang Chengye thought that what Zou Shi said was also right, after all, he had to make a name for himself in the world, and it wasn't suitable to have his mother by his side.

  His mother stayed in the Shen family, and since Shen You and Zou Shi were not bad people, he could often come back to visit her later. So under his mother's consent, he agreed.

  Three days later, Yang Chengye set off with a farewell from the Zou family, Shen You and Wu Ruolan, mounted his horse and headed in the direction of the capital city, starting his apprenticeship career.

  Looking at Wu Ruolan with tears in her eyes, Zou comforted: "A child travels a thousand miles and the mother worries, don't worry, sister. Jizu is a capable child and will surely soar like a giant dragon across the nine provinces in the future."

  There is a sea island in the southeast of Zhoushan Islands, with a relatively large area, which is the seventh island in Zhoushan Islands. The scenery on the island is beautiful, with peach trees all over and full of peach blossoms, so it's called Peach Blossom Island.

  At this time, a large ship was sailing towards Peach Blossom Island on the sea. Huang Yaoshi, wearing a green robe and holding a jade flute in his hand, stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, gazing far away in the direction of Peach Blossom Island.

  Behind him were six young people, five boys and one girl, all of whom were disciples collected by Huang Yaoshi on the road. They were Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, Lu Chengfeng, Qu Lingfeng, Wu Mianfeng and Feng Mufeng.

  Especially Mei Chaojun, with a fierce face and a glint of ferocity in her eyes from time to time, she was brought out of the wolf's den by Huang Yaoshi and was called the Wolf Girl.

  Huang Yaoshi looked in the direction of Peach Blossom Island and said: "From now on, you are my disciples of Peach Blossom Island. In the future, you must love and care for each other."

  "The names I have given you all carry the character for 'wind', it is to remind you that no matter what, you must never slaughter each other again, or else there will be no forgiveness!"

  The six people nodded in agreement after hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, even the normally unruly Mei Chao Feng did not dare to refute.

  Just as the boat was less than a hundred miles away from Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi said: "Go and bring me the ginseng I picked. We will be landing on the island immediately."

  As soon as Huang Yaoshi's voice fell, Mei Chaojun's figure flashed and disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he reappeared with a wooden box that was one foot long and half a foot wide in his hand.

  Huang Yao Shi did not go to receive the wooden box handed over by Mei Chao Feng, but instead his face changed color.

  "I'll go ashore first, you follow afterwards!"

  Huang Yaoshi finished speaking, his body moved, and he jumped off the bow of the boat. His toes lightly touched the water's surface, and his body shot towards Peach Blossom Island like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

  Watching Huang Yaoshi's movement, Chen Xuanfeng and his five brothers all showed a look of admiration. It was the first time they had seen their master use such a brilliant lightness skill, treading on the surface of the sea without getting his shoes wet.

  At this time, Huang Yaoshi's face was gloomy, but he was anxious in his heart. He found that something had gone wrong on Peach Island, with several corpses lying on the island and the protective array formation being destroyed.

  A moment later, Huang Yaoshi stood on the shore of Peach Island and glanced at several corpses.

  There were five bodies in total, two of which were servants from their own island, and the corpses had already stiffened.

  Another three were dressed in black and looked unfamiliar.

  "Ah Heng!"

  Suddenly, Huang Yaoshi thought of his pregnant wife and hurriedly shot towards the center of the island.

  The outer area of Peach Island was planted with peach trees, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom all year round. These peach trees were arranged by Huang Yaoshi using the Eight Trigrams Formation, and anyone unfamiliar with the formation would be unable to enter, only getting lost within it. At this time, however, the formation had been completely destroyed.

  The Array Centre is two rows of bamboo houses where Huang Yaoshi and his wife live with their servants.

  The door of the bamboo house was opened, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

  "Ah Heng!"

  Huang Yao Shi let out a loud cry and rushed into his own bamboo hut. When he saw the situation inside, his eyes suddenly narrowed and his face turned pale.
