"Haha!"
Facing Fu Junhao's gaze, Kuo Zhong smiled lightly and continued,""The Art of Longevity has been passed down since ancient times. It's extremely mysterious and conforms to the laws of heaven and earth.”
"Yi has Taiji, which gives birth to the two elements, the two elements give birth to the four images, and the four images give birth to the eight trigrams.”
"Everything in the world is born from Yin and Yang.”
"Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood. The five elements complement and restrain each other, forming the five elements of heaven and earth.”
"Therefore, the five elements of Yin and Yang complement each other.”
"You mean the Art of Longevity is a combination of Yin and Yang?”
Fu Junhao, who was talented and intelligent, immediately thought of the key to his words.
"Yes."
"The Art of Longevity has seven pictures, representing seven paths of cultivation.”
"Among them, the first five are the five elements, and the last two are yin and yang. Yang is the source of yin, so yang is in front of yin.”
"If you simply combine the five elements, you can naturally practice it, but it's very difficult to get started.”
"I think Shi Long probably practiced one of them.”
"As for us brothers, one Yang and one Yin, we can naturally enter the sect.”
"What the Art of Longevity teaches is the art of seizing the essence of heaven and earth and consolidating one's foundation.”
"You can either combine the five elements with Yin and Yang to cultivate Xiantian True Qi, or you can combine Yin and Yang into the five elements to cultivate Xiantian True Qi.”
"It doesn't matter which of these two is good or bad, but they both have one thing in common, and that is that one has to be someone who doesn't have any internal energy in order to cultivate.”
Boom!
These words struck Fu Junhao like a bolt from the blue.
How could she not understand the meaning behind it? It was either to find five people who secretly combined the five elements to practice together, or to find two people who combined Yin and Yang to practice together, but the premise was that these people had never practiced internal energy.
Of course, there was another method, which was to abolish internal strength.
However, once the internal energy was abolished, how could the damaged meridians be repaired?
Now, Fu Junhao finally understood why Kuo Zhong didn't mind her cultivating with him. It was because Kuo Zhong knew from the beginning that Fu Junhao would never succeed in cultivating. Neither of the two conditions mentioned above was easy to meet.
For example, to find five people who combined the five elements, in the world of cultivation, that would be to find five people with metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spirit roots, and they had to have a single attribute spirit root.
This was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack!
"Miss Fu!"
"Your master should be able to hold on for a few more years.”
"Maybe at that time, there will be a bright future?”
Just as Fu Junhao was in despair, Kuo Zhong's words ignited her hope.
That's right. If Kuo Zhong was able to take out the Blood Bodhi that could heal her internal injuries, and he also had a divine weapon and a storage ring, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't have the elixir that could heal Fu Cailin.
"As long as you can save my master, I'll do anything you want.”
Fu Junhao bit her lips, her eyes filled with desire and anticipation.
Kuo Zhong was her last hope.
"I don't have the ability now. Maybe I will in a few years.”
"I hope you can stay by my side and help me seize this world!”
"In exchange, I can promise you to cure Fu Cailin.”
Looking at Fu Junhao, Kuo Zhong said in a deep voice.
Goguryeo's Bright Sword Sect was skilled in breath concealment, and Fu Junhao was one of Fu Cailin's best disciples.
If she was allowed to train spies, Kuo Zhong would have an intelligence agency that could rival all the influential families in the world.
"Alright, I can promise you!"
After pondering for a moment, Fu Junhao suddenly raised her head and replied seriously.
At this point, Fu Junhao and the two dragons were tied together.
In the following period of time, Xu Zhiling's Bright Sword Technique improved by leaps and bounds under Fu Junhao's tutelage, while Kuo Zhong practiced the Ten Changes of Astonishing Emotions alone.
The Ten Transformations of Emotions was originally the Seven Transformations of Emotions. It was created by the Shadow Emperor in the Wind and Cloud World. It was later perfected by the Shadow Emperor's godson, Shen Feng, and evolved into the Ten Transformations of Emotions. As one of the top blade techniques of the Wind and Cloud World, it was not inferior to the Demon Blade of the First Evil Emperor. It was a kind of blade technique that was full of emotion and nature.
There were a total of ten moves in this saber technique. They were Proud over All Life, City of Worry, Chaotic Emotion Slash, Calm Heart, Heng Mei Leng, Nu Wentian, Chi Heartbreak, Absolute Evil Slash, Du Maha, and Wu Fu Sheng. When cultivated to perfection, they had the power to defy the heavens.
This saber technique was extremely compatible with Kuo Zhong's overbearing temperament, allowing him to advance quite quickly.
Unknowingly, the two dragons and Fu Junhao stayed in the valley for two months before leaving.
.....
In June of the twelfth year of Daye.
Emperor Yang ignored the war in the north and insisted on going south to Jiangdu.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the fighting had forced the northerners to cross south, and the area south of the Yangtze River was gradually developed.
Jiangdu, which was located south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River, became the center of the intersection of the south and the north. With the completion of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Jiangdu became a transportation hub with a resplendent culture and prosperous business.
From then on, Jiangdu (Yangzhou) began to have the reputation of being the richest place in the world.
The streets and alleys were bustling with business, and the restaurants were singing. Occasionally, blond, blue-eyed, brown-haired, and dark-eyed people of the Western Regions would come and go. There were even many Kunlun slaves with long curls and dark skin.
Xu Zhiling was used to this. After all, the two dragons grew up in Yangzhou City.
However, Kuo Zhong was not his predecessor, and he had come from a later generation, so it was inevitable that he would find this new and interesting. Fu Junhao had never seen such a bustling scene in Goguryeo, and his originally cold face was now filled with an inexplicable expression.
The three of them walked forward and wandered around the street, looking east and west.
"Look! It's them!"
"Hurry up and send the news to Yuwen clan!”
At the corner of the street, many hidden figures were excited when they saw the two dragons appear.
At least a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, and Fu Junhao.
"Young Master Zhong."
"We seem to have been targeted?"
Xu Zhiling whispered into Kuo Zhong's ear as he walked.
They were all Grandmaster martial artists now. Naturally, they were different from before. Their five senses were sharp. How could they not notice those rats in the dark?
Without waiting for Kuo Zhong to explain, Fu Junhao smiled and said,""Ziling, do you think he doesn't know?”
"He's deliberately showing it in front of others.”
After spending two months together, Fu Junhao and the two dragons were already very close. They were like siblings with Xu Zhiling, but they seemed to be different from Kuo Zhong. They were friends of the same generation, and there was even a trace of inexplicable feelings mixed in.
"Oh?"
Xu Zhiling raised his eyebrows, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"The Yuwen Clan is the descendant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's founder, Yuwen Tai. Like the Li Clan, they are one of the Guanlong aristocratic families.”
"The difference is that Li Yuan, the leader of the Li clan, had long transferred his power to Jinyang, while Yuwen Huaji was not the leader of the Yuwen clan.”
"Therefore, the Yuwen clan has no power in Jiangnan. Instead, they support a gang.”
"Of the eight gangs and ten guilds, the Sea Sand Gang and the Iron Cavalry Guild are Yuwen Huaji's lackeys.”
"If they didn't report it, how would Yuwen Huaji know that we're back?”
"Young Master Ling, there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.”
Looking around Yangzhou City, Kuo Zhong said meaningfully.
Hearing this.
Xu Zhiling suddenly realized and blurted out,"Does Young Master Zhong intend to defeat Yuwen Huaji in one go and let him know that we're tough and that he won't dare to come and find trouble with us again?”
"Not only that."
Kuo Zhong shook his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.""Jiang Du Prefecture is the number one prefecture in the world.”
"Jiangnan's rich and powerful are all in Jiangdu, and they have supported many sects and forces.”
"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Bamboo Flower Gang, Giant Leviathan Gang, Sea Sand Gang, Steel Cavalry Association, these are four gangs.”
"If we can take them in, we can use them to train an army and conquer Jiangnan. Wouldn't that be great?”
"Moreover, Yuwen Huaji is too powerful. He is too much of a threat to us.”
Thud!
Xu Zhiling and Fu Junhao were shocked.
Only now did they realize that this was Kuo Zhong's true purpose for entering Jiangdu. He had swallowed four of the eight gangs and ten guilds in one fell swoop to weaken Yuwen Huaji's strength. It was killing three birds with one stone.
