In this world, among n who have ambition, which of them can escape the allure of the words ’noble title’?
As for the Guan Family’s current status, isn’t it due to their ancestors, who followed the Grand Ancestor Emperor to conquer the world, using their literary and martial talents to serve the emperor’s house, and exchanged it for the title of ’Marquis Han Shou’?
However, it is no longer a chaotic era, and there’s no longer a direct way to change one’s destiny. Yet, civil and martial examinations still remain significant paths for most people to change their fate and join the apex of society.
"By the way, regarding this Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, there’s a rumor that supposedly..."
The Masked Man’s voice suddenly beca serious, saying:
"In this Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, there might be the martial arts imprint of the Champion Marquis in his youth. If one can defeat it, there might be a chance to gain favor with the Immortal Weapon-level ’Mo Blade’ enshrined in the Martial Temple and possibly beco its master."
"The Champion Marquis’s Immortal Mo Blade?" Guan Hongluan suddenly exclaid: "Is this rumor true or false?"
"I can’t guarantee it, but it’s said to have co from the You State Martial Temple..." the Masked Man said. "But if it’s true, the Commandery Princess knows this could be the greatest opportunity in this Martial Temple, especially suitable for soone like you who trains with blades."
"That’s easy to say, but... the Champion Marquis."
After the initial excitent, Guan Hongluan couldn’t help but close her eyes:
"What kind of a person is he, a teoric figure, debuting at sixteen and reaching the Seventh Realm, possessing Thirteen Realm strength at twenty-three. To defeat his martial imprint..."
"No matter what, this is a great opportunity, and if possible, the Commandery Princess must try to grasp it."
"I understand."
Speaking.
Guan Hongluan suddenly stood up, saying:
"It seems I cannot slack off, especially after Master Tang ntioned the ’Champion Blade.’ I won’t go out for a month. Until the martial exam, I must focus on practicing my blade at ho."
"Ling’er can just keep company, staying secluded at ho."
She looked towards the Five-colored Peacock as she spoke.
The peacock blinked its eyes.
"Alright, I can watch how you practice your blades."
......
The grass grows and the orioles fly.
A girl in vigorous attire, wielding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, exhibits power of the ultimate level, each swing like a dragon erging from water, shooting tens of ters, covering the sky.
A Five-colored Peacock stands by her side, watching her practice martial arts.
...
Chen Ku secretly communicated with the Five-colored Peacock once, learning that ever since the peacock returned to Guan Hongluan’s side, it not only clung to a wealthy lady but also gained information that he couldn’t ordinarily access, not to ntion, it could even observe a supre levels bladesmanship.
Hence, he decided not to call it back. Anyway, with his current cultivation, he could let his incarnations stay outside for a month, and it didn’t matter if he retrieved it once a month...
This way, however, he had several changes that must be carried on him permanently, unable to dismantle.
"Er Lang is one, the Five-colored Peacock another, the Flower Fox Mink can’t be dismantled if it breaks through, and the Red-tailed Bee tracking Sui You also can’t be removed..."
Chen Ku counted on his fingers:
"Once the Flower Fox Mink breaks through, I must go to Fire Beak Mountain again, and I must also carry the Fourth Realm Fire Beak Pot, so once again, almost all my five Transformation Diagrams are fixed, even forcing to dismantle Hui Dragon Transformation and Centipede Viper Change."
After continuous enhancent of strength, with more useful transformations, Chen Ku once again felt the inadequacy of the number of Transformation Diagrams.
"The demand is gradually increasing, five Transformation Diagrams are already far from enough. Even six aren’t sufficient, I need seven Transformation Diagrams to fully et all demands."
Five-colored Peacock, Hui Dragon, Flower Fox Mink, Er Lang, Fire Beak Pot, Centipede Viper, Red-tailed Bee...
All seven transformations must be fixed on him.
"But now I still lack conditions to cultivate the Sixth Transformation Diagram..."
Chen Ku couldn’t help but look towards the conditions needed for the Sixth Transformation Diagram.
[Conditions for cultivating the Sixth Transformation Diagram: Ten thousand pounds of black gold, ten thousand pounds of rcury, One Hundred Thousand Taels of gold, Third Realm Jade Skin Great Success Cultivation, ten Fourth Realm Evil Qi, one Supre Quality Fourth Realm Transformation]
Currently, he barely t three conditions: ten thousand pounds of black gold, Third Realm Jade Skin Realm, ten Fourth Realm Evil Qi...
"As for rcury, through the channels of Jinshi Academy, it could be obtained, although getting ten thousand pounds of rcury is sowhat difficult, it can still be bought with money since rcury’s price is much less than silver."
Chen Ku sighed. The truly scarce thing was One Hundred Thousand Taels of gold, which is, at a 1:20 gold-to-silver ratio, two million taels of silver.
He started calculating the account again:
"The value of Xie Wenyuan’s head is Five Hundred Thousand Taels, while Yao Wensu’s is One Million Taels. Together that’s only One Hundred and Fifty Taels, even counting the money Nine-Colored Deer earned earlier, I could gather it all, though I need to take so risk and go to Grey Clothes Tower to exchange it."
Ti estimation.
Since the deaths of Xie Wenyuan and Yao Wensu, a considerable amount of ti had passed.
Gnashing his teeth for a silver amount exceeding one million taels, Chen Ku could only risk retrieving it.
In the blink of an eye.
After changing his appearance, he arrived at Grey Clothes Tower.
"Sir?"
The middle-aged clerk at Grey Clothes Tower was slightly astonished upon seeing Chen Ku, saying:
"Unexpectedly, you’ve co to settle the bounty so soon. Honestly, lately, the Yan’s arrest officers led by Wang Yixian, have been keeping an eye on this place, just waiting for you."
Chen Ku’s heart trembled slightly, but his expression didn’t change. He said solemnly: "No choice, I need the money."
"Alright, it’s almost certain now that it’s you who assassinated Xie Wenyuan successfully. The handprints can match, and over here, we’ll settle the paynt for you right away," the middle-aged man said.
