"In terms of external forging techniques, only the Iron Shirt hasn't been integrated. With its cultivation characteristics of strengthening the body, it can definitely optimize the Invincible Vajra Divine Art to be even more powerful.
Other than that, in terms of spells, I only have the beginner level of the Resentment Cleansing Spell, which can be improved.
But this spell is just a simple auxiliary spell, so there's no rush.
In this case, there aren't many things that can be improved. Only the Chopping Blade Technique and Cloud Walking Steps haven't been improved to perfection.
As for the Willow Blade Technique, it won't increase my strength much, so I'll skip it for now … "
Ziyue considered and quickly made a decision.
"Spend 2000 spirit points to integrate the Iron Shirt and the Invincible Vajra Divine Art!"
"Integrate!"
"Spend 2000 spirit points to upgrade the Chopping Blade Technique to perfection!"
"Upgrade!"
"Spend 2000 spirit points to upgrade the Cloud Walking Steps to perfection!"
"Upgrade!"
…
In an instant, all kinds of realizations appeared in his mind.
The new Invincible Vajra Divine Art not only improved his physical defense and physical strength, but also gave him a deeper understanding of strength.
He just stood there, and under the turbulence of strength, every corner of his body that came in contact with the air emitted a high-frequency vibration sound.
"There's almost no part of my body that can't release strength. This is a true state of perfection."
Ziyue's eyes revealed a trace of joy.
Originally, although his strength was equally strong, he couldn't release strength so smoothly.
There were always a few places on the body where strength couldn't be transmitted. These places were actually equivalent to the weak points of a martial artist's cultivation, and were weaker in comparison to other places.
But as the Iron Shirt was integrated into the Invincible Vajra Divine Art, it immediately made up for the original shortcoming. It was truly flawless, and every corner of his body could release strength.
"In addition, the Chopping Blade Technique and Cloud Walking Steps have been improved to perfection. Now, the strength of my attacks and the speed of my body have been greatly improved. Perhaps, even if I face some relatively ordinary internal training martial artists, it's not impossible."
Ziyue had a kind of realization in his heart.
Zhang Bo, who had just entered the Internal Refinement Realm, was no longer his opponent. As for the Internal Refinement Realm experts, he was confident that even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage soon.
"As expected, although I have a lot of soul energy, I can't stop myself from spending it."
Ziyue looked at the remaining amount of Spirit Energy and could not help but sigh.
…
Right Guardian Zhao Jing had his own courtyard. Zhao Jing sat alone at the head of the table. His eyes were indifferent as he looked down at the people below. His expression was unreadable.
"Guo Zhengyang."
"Your disciple is here."
Guo Zhengyang answered with a perturbed expression.
"You really don't know where your senior brother is?"
Zhao Jing asked calmly.
His heart trembled. Having followed his master for many years, he naturally knew that the calmer his master's voice was, the angrier he was.
Guo Zhengyang said in a low voice, "Disciple does not know."
Naturally, he didn't want to be involved in this matter, because if something went wrong, he would be implicated.
His master's anger was hard to bear, but could he bear the sect master's anger?
"Liu He, you tell me."
Zhao Jing said softly.
"Yes!"
A middle-aged man in the uniform of a law enforcement disciple answered and said, "According to our investigation, before Zhao Gangyi went missing, he went to the homes of inner sect disciple Wang Jian and Qinghe Wharf's supervisor Zhang Bo.
According to their family members, Zhao Gangyi gave them a generous gift when he went there. The total amount was about eight hundred taels of silver.
Then, in the morning of the next few days, Wang Jian, Zhang Bo, and the others would immediately get up and leave. They would return in less than two hours.
It was just that three days ago, after they went out, they never came back.
Oh right, we also found out that before Zhao Gangyi went to give the gifts, he looked for Junior Brother Guo. It seems that Junior Brother Guo went to Jingxi Bank to withdraw three hundred taels of silver.
I don't know what it was for. "
Guo Zhengyang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"You still say that you don't know?"
Zhao Jing said in an indifferent tone.
"I … I only know that after Senior Brother Zhao was defeated by Ziyue, he couldn't accept it. A few days ago, he asked to borrow some silver from me to do something. He didn't tell me what it was.
Master, you know me. I've always been a little clever. I know that Senior Brother Zhao has always dreamed of becoming an outstanding disciple, so I had some guesses. However, I didn't dare to get involved.
Who knew that not long after, Senior Brother went missing … "
Guo Zhengyang's body trembled and he hurriedly explained with a trembling voice.
"In that case, Zhao Gangyi was killed by Bai Ziyue?"
Zhao Jing asked softly.
"I don't know."
Guo Zhengyang said softly.
"Haha, no matter what, my disciple is dead. It won't be so easy to let it go.
Go, invite Ziyue here. I'd like to see what he has to say in front of me. "
Zhao Jing said with a gloomy face.
"Yes!"
The law enforcement disciple, Liu He, responded and walked out.
Not long after the law enforcement disciple left, an old man who looked like a housekeeper suddenly walked over and said respectfully, "Master, a person who calls himself Li Yinru, the son of Li Zhao, has come to pay his respects."
"Call him in."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Jing's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice.
Not long after, a young man with a tall and straight figure and starry eyes walked in.
Obviously, he was Li Yinru.
"Junior Li Yinru pays his respects to Protector Zhao."
Li Yinru bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, the young man from back then has become so tall.
I wonder how Hall Master Li has been recently? "
Zhao Jing said with a smile.
"My father is naturally well."
Li Yinru replied. Seeing that Zhao Jing didn't continue, he hurriedly said, "Actually, Li Yinru has come this time to ask Uncle Zhao for a favor."
Zhao Jing naturally knew that Li Yinru wouldn't visit him for no reason. His expression didn't change as he asked, "What is it?
Even Hall Master Li can't do it? "
"I know that every branch's Sect Leader, Protector, and various supervisors have the right to recommend their disciples to compete for the position of Outstanding Disciple.
I'm here this time because I hope that Uncle Zhao can recommend one or two disciples. "
Li Yinru said.
Hearing this, Guo Zhengyang, who was standing at the side, changed his expression and became anxious.
Originally, with Zhao Gangyi's disappearance, he could naturally obtain his master's recommendation. As long as he planned carefully, he would have a chance to compete for it. However, if the recommendation fell to someone else, what would he do?
Wouldn't all his previous plans be for naught?
"For the selection of Outstanding Disciple, there is a limit to the number of people in each place. Furthermore, the requirement is that you must be a disciple of the local branch to be eligible to participate.
If I remember correctly, you are not a disciple of the Qinghe Town branch.
That's right, you can't join at the last minute either. You must be a disciple of the local branch for at least a year. "
Zhao Jing shook his head and said.
"Junior has naturally made ample preparations before coming here.
As early as a year ago, I had already recorded my identity as a disciple in the Qinghe Town branch.
Naturally, I will fulfill this condition.
Furthermore, other than Protector Zhao, I also found Supervisor Yin Zhixing, Supervisor Liu Yanhong, and Supervisor Guo Liang. Now, they have all agreed to recommend me.
Originally, I didn't want to trouble Uncle Zhao because I know that Uncle Zhao also has a disciple that you value.
However, I heard that the disciple recently had an accident … Of course, as a reward, I know that Uncle Zhao has always wanted to return to the Scorching Sun Gang's Wujiang County headquarters to work. Now that Supervisor Xu, who was in charge of shipping, has passed away, this is an opportunity. "
"Can it really be done?"
Zhao Jing asked with a slightly moved expression.
Although he was only a shipping supervisor, how could the supervisor of Wujiang County be the same as the supervisor of Qinghe Town?
Even if he was the Protector of the Qinghe Town branch, in reality, whether it was profit or power, he could not be compared to a supervisor of Wujiang County.
For example, the leader of the Qinghe Town branch, Liu Dong, was actually the same position as Li Yinru's father, Li Zhao, but there was a huge difference in status and power.
"It shouldn't be a problem."
Li Yinru said confidently.
"Okay, I will be the one to recommend you."
Zhao Jing said in a deep voice.
"Okay, with the recommendation of Protector Zhao and the other three supervisors, I am almost certain that I will succeed."
Li Yinru was overjoyed and very excited.
He knew that although the elders valued the disciple's talent and strength, if they had the support of the majority of the people in the gang, they would also have a higher chance of being selected.
Furthermore, in terms of talent and strength, he was not weak.
Otherwise, his father wouldn't have helped him plan and fight for this opportunity a year ago.
Below, Guo Zhengyang, who had been listening, turned pale. He could not help but lower his head, and a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes.
He had planned in many ways and tried his best to provoke the conflict between Zhao Gangyi and Ziyue. Although he was surprised that Zhao Gangyi had killed Ziyue this time, he also thought that at least he would have a chance to fight for the position of the outstanding disciple.
However, at this moment, Li Yinru suddenly jumped out of nowhere and directly took away his chance.
The son of Wujiang County's Hall Master Li?
Guo Zhengyang's face suddenly became very bitter.
In the face of absolute strength, all plans were as laughable as castles in the air.
...
Any Dharma artifact had its own spirituality.
Therefore, if a person who cultivated the Immortal Dao wanted to use a Dharma artifact freely, they had to subdue its spirituality and infuse it with their own aura.
Only then could they use it freely and display the power that the Dharma artifact should have.
At this moment, Ziyue was holding a small golden knife and releasing his mental strength. It was like flowing water that continuously flowed into the small knife.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
The small knife trembled slightly, as if it was unwilling to be subdued so easily.
However, Bai Ziyue's mental strength was no longer what it used to be. It could now be released almost one meter away from his body. Naturally, it was not something that the weak spirituality in the Golden Thread Saber could resist. Very soon, the small saber was contaminated with his own aura.
In an instant, the resistance of the small knife became much weaker.
Then, Ziyue increased the penetration of his mental strength. Soon, a mental connection was transmitted from the small golden knife.
