Chapter 41: Transformation of Strength
As soon as the scribe in white opened his mouth, Huang Xiuzhi, who was still furious just now, strangely calmed down.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked:
"What do you think Mr. Wen has to say?"
The scribe in white was speechless and glanced around.
Huang Xiuzhi understood and waved his hands to everyone:
"You guys go down first."
"yes!"
Everyone responded quickly and stood up to leave. Only Huang Xiuzhi and the white-robed scribe were left in the Juyi Hall.
At this time, the scribe in white opened his mouth and said:
"Gang leader, the Fuhu Gang chose to attack at night and covered their faces. It is enough to show that they do not want to break up with us. If they destroy Shennongtang, they will fight to the death with the Fuhu Gang, but Master is not ready yet. Completely, it’s too early to fight the Fuhu Gang at this time.”
When Huang Xiuzhi heard the word "Master", his body trembled, and the anger on his face disappeared. He took two quick steps and came to the scribe in white. He squeezed out a smile and whispered:
"It's been more than half a year. Isn't Master still ready?"
The white-robed scribe said calmly:
"Master has encountered some twists and turns. Not to mention half a year, even a year, we may not be ready."
Huang Xiuzhi's eyes widened and he said anxiously:
"At the beginning, the Master said that it would only take a few months to prepare everything. Why did he change it to a year? The Fuhu Gang dares to destroy Jishitang now. If it drags on, they might come one day. !”
The white-clothed scribe's face darkened and his tone turned cold:
"The gang leader is questioning Master Wen?"
Huang Xiuzhi quickly waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Wen, don't get me wrong! It's just that our Sanjiang Gang has only been established for a short period of time, while the Fuhu Gang has been standing in Yuzhou for decades and has a profound foundation. I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until the day when the master is ready, and I will be ambushed." The Tiger Gang was wiped out..."
"The gang leader was joking."
The scribe in white smiled and said:
"No matter how arrogant the Fuhu Gang is, they don't dare to act recklessly. It seems that the gang leader went too far in the Jishitang incident. He slaughtered a workshop of the Fuhu Gang. Naturally, Luo Zhenwu would not let it go. The government could only turn a blind eye. One eye. But if he really wants to break up and cause greater chaos in the county, Yan Zhizhou will be the first to refuse. "
"When the time comes, if the gang leader gives Governor Lu some more money, he will definitely be on our side. If not, Commander Shi of the Yongping River Navy is an old friend of the gang leader, so our gang will hide on Xiong'er Island in the middle of the river. , the Fuhu Gang still dares to fight against the Yongpingjiang Navy?”
Huang Xiuzhi listened to the words of the scribe in white, his face became increasingly ugly, and he said:
"Mr. Wen is right, but if the Fuhu Gang is really driven out of the county, what is the difference between being wiped out by them?"
The scribe in white said calmly:
"Of course there is a difference. As long as this gang is still there, no matter how embarrassed it is by the Fuhu Gang, when Master is ready and the Fuhu Gang is uprooted, the entire Yuzhou will belong to this gang."
When Huang Xiuzhi heard this, he looked excited and saluted Mr. Wen with clasped fists and said:
"Mr. Wen's words made me suddenly enlightened. I would also like to ask Mr. Wen to say a few kind words in front of the Master and take action to eliminate the Fuhu Gang as soon as possible. Huang is very grateful!"
The scribe in white said calmly:
"Don't worry, Gang Leader. Master has accepted your offering and will naturally not break his promise. But when to take action is not something you or I can control. Gang Leader, please be patient and wait for at least half a year. When Master is ready, it will be Fuhu." When the gang is destroyed!”
…
The fact that Jishi Hall was looted by thieves caused a sensation in the county.
All the gangsters in the Sanjiang Clan can be attacked by thieves. Yang Huaizhan, the gang leader at the peak of his strength, even has his head missing. Everyone in the county is in danger. The name of a bandit can stop children from crying at night.
But as long as the officials and merchants with a little better information knew that this was the hand of the Fuhu Gang, the most they could say with emotion was "the troubled times" and would not take this matter to heart.
There is pressure from the government above, and the dispute between the Sanjiang Gang and the Fuhu Gang has nothing to do with other people.
Only those who relied on the two gangs to make a living were frightened by this incident, fearing that the next tragedy would happen to them, especially the people from the Fuhu Gang.
They waited anxiously for a few days, only to find that the Sanjiang Gang had only organized a hasty funeral for Yang Huaizhan and had done nothing else.
Even their previous friction with the Fuhu Gang stopped.
It seems that the robbery of Jishitang was really the work of bandits.
The Sanjiang Gang has ceased operations, leaving Luo Zhenwu confused.
After Chen Yuan succeeded, he ordered martial law, and the entire Fuhu Gang was on standby to guard against the Sanjiang Gang's revenge.
But since Huang Xiuzhi chose to swallow his anger, he would naturally not be polite and sent people to take action again to suppress the Sanjiang Gang's business.
As time goes by, the conflict between the Fuhu Gang and the Sanjiang Gang becomes more and more intense, with more and more casualties.
Different from before, the Sanjiang Gang was at a complete disadvantage this time.
Taking advantage of Yan Zhizhou's power, the Fuhu Gang stirred up trouble in Xin'an County and defeated the Sanjiang Gang.
The Fuhu Gang had the upper hand, but Luo Zhenwu did not get carried away and was always on guard against the Sanjiang Gang's counterattack.
However, the Sanjiang Gang swallowed their anger. In addition to firmly holding on to the shipping business on the Yongping River, they also retreated from the casino, brothel, medicinal materials and other businesses.
Suddenly, the Fuhu Gang's power surged, and it seemed that they had regained their former dominance in Yuzhou.
…
The Fuhu Gang and the Sanjiang Gang are in constant dispute, and the two gangs of warriors are fighting to the death, but all this has nothing to do with Chen Yuan.
He killed Yang Huaizhan with three sword strikes and made great contributions. The Sanjiang Gang lost a master at the peak of Gangjin, and the Fuhu Gang had the upper hand. Luo Zhenwu did not assign him any more tasks.
Master Qi no longer had any complaints about him. He sent people to deliver the elixir to Chen's house on time every month without delay.
Chen Yuan stayed at home and concentrated on practicing martial arts. He spent half a month to polish the true qi in his body and achieved breakthrough to Huajin in one fell swoop.
For ordinary martial artists, the bottleneck of Huajin is like a chasm, lying in front of them.
Yang Huaizhan, Hou Yan, and Master Qi have been hovering at the peak of Gangjin for more than ten years, but have never been able to cross this threshold.
The Six Yang Gong also records in detail the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck of Huajin, stating that one must have an indomitable heart to achieve Huajin.
Chen Yuan was also prepared to waste time at the peak of Gangjin, but when he tried to break through, the bottleneck of Huajin seemed to be non-existent, and the breakthrough process was a natural process.
Chen Yuan felt the most yang and strong six-yang true qi in his body, and couldn't help wondering why it was so easy for him to break through the transformation of strength.
After thinking about it, he could only attribute the reason to his increasingly strong body after the starlight infusion.
Since he started practicing martial arts, he has never encountered any bottlenecks, even the bottleneck of transformation that the masters of Gangjin fear like a tiger, and he broke through it in one go.
It's just that when he broke through the internal strength before, he boiled and took a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and later when he broke through the transformation, he spent 1,800 taels of silver to buy a Ninggang Pill from Jishitang, all of which relied on external forces.
When breaking through the transformation, there was no pill to assist. He didn't rely on external forces for the first time, but it was still as smooth as before.
Now it seems that he spent two sums of money in vain.
The strong body is the main reason for his successful breakthrough. The hundred-year-old mountain ginseng and Ninggang Pill are just icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, the strength of the physical body is only useful for martial arts training. According to the "Red Flame Art", cultivators refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into mana and true essence, without cultivating the physical body.
It is better to transform the true energy before it is transformed into mana, and the strong physical body still plays a significant role.
After Chen Yuan broke through the transformation, the speed of accumulating true energy did not slow down at all.
But the price is that the consumption of pills is greater.
Before breaking through the transformation, Chen Yuan consumed two Jingyuan pills every time he infused the starlight into his body.
After the breakthrough, each time the starlight infused the body, it consumed a Hunyuan pill.
He also took another Hunyuan pill every three days to activate the blood and qi in his body.
The bottle of Hunyuan pill looted from Jishitang was only enough for fifteen days.
After using it up, Chen Yuan came to Qi's house and asked Qi's master for Hunyuan pills.
Qi's master happened to be away from the house, but the housekeeper of Qi's house recognized Chen Yuan and quickly invited him into the reception room, served fruits and snacks, and sent someone to invite Qi's master back to the house.
After half an hour, Master Qi walked into the reception room and said with a fist:
"There are some chores in the hall that need to be dealt with. I am sorry to have kept Master Chen waiting for a long time. I wonder what Master Chen is here for?"
There was a layer of dust on his clothes, and the edges of his boots were stained with yellow mud. He looked very tired. It was obvious that he rushed back to the mansion immediately after hearing the news without delay.
Chen Yuan bowed and said:
"I have run out of elixirs, so I came to ask Master Qi for some."
Master Qi was surprised:
"I just sent someone to deliver this month's elixirs to Master Chen's mansion ten days ago. Are they all used up now?"
As he said that, he sat down opposite Chen Yuan, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Yuan said calmly:
"Originally it was enough, but I was lucky enough to break through Huajin a few days ago, and Jingyuan Pills are not enough. I wonder if Master Qi has Hunyuan Pills?"
"Ahem!"
Master Qi choked on the tea, put the teacup on the Eight Immortals Table, and said in surprise:
"You...what did you say? Huajin?!"
"Why, Master Qi doesn't believe it?"
"This...a Huajin warrior under the age of 20, Qi has never heard of it, never seen it, hehe..."
Master Qi looked at Chen Yuan half-believingly, but he smiled apologetically, not daring to anger Chen Yuan.
Of course he didn't believe there would be such a young Huajin warrior, but Chen Yuan killed Yang Huaizhan with three swords, which was not something he could afford to provoke. Even if he didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.
Chen Yuan smiled, raised his right hand, and said:
"Master Qi, please look."
Master Qi looked closely and saw a thin layer of flame slowly emerging in Chen Yuan's palm, as if he was wearing a flame glove, and even the air became a little hotter.
He stood up and said in a lost voice:
"Power takes shape, the fire of the six suns! You really broke through the power transformation!"
Chen Yuan flipped his palm, and the flame in his palm dissipated, saying:
"Master Qi, can you believe it now?"
"Believe it! I believe it! Master Chen, wait a moment, I'll go get the Hunyuan Pill now!"
