Immortality from Tam Chapter 64: Internal Reform

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Internal Reform

In a certain forest.

An old man and a young woman walked through the forest, the old man showing a hint of disdain on his face.

"This godforsaken place, it’s truly lacking in Spirit Charm! If not for pursuing that traitor Yu Rong, I probably wouldn’t have co to a place like this in my lifeti."

The stunning young woman beside him rely glanced at the old man with a blank expression, carefully taking a compass from her waist and silently observing its needle.

"It’s right here."

...

Unknowingly, more than ten days passed.

In the forest, Xu Guang put away his longbow with both hands and opened the panel.

[Fallen Dragon lv0 (1/1000): In the East Sea there is a dragon, the bloodstring draws the bow, bring it down!]

A skill of Blue Level?

Xu Guang took a deep breath, not surprised; with his current understanding of Martial Dao, it took him more than three months just to comnce with this archery skill.

Enough to show its profoundness.

Xu Guang glanced at the over three thousand points of accumulated Universal Experience, exhaling with relief.

"Let

see just how profound you are!"

"Add points!"

Added points twice, raising it to lv3.

Xu Guang stood in place, lifted the Snow Dragon Bow with one hand, a special energy flowing through his chest and abdon, rumbling like thunder.

Dots of terrifying power coursed through his body.

Suddenly pulling the bow.

The sound like tearing silk exploded in the air, and in the distance, General Wei, as if startled, suddenly rose from a puddle.

Xu Guang’s face turned red, his entire visage appearing rather ferocious.

In a daze, he had a feeling, this arrow could truly shoot down a dragon!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The arrow, like a teor, sparked threads of what seed like burning fire in the air, spinning wildly.

Boom!

Accompanied by a sound like a mountain blast, dust rose, and smoke billowed.

This arrow... not sure about anything else, but it’s definitely enough to kill Ren Ziji.

Unfortunately, when Ren Ziji ca that day, Fallen Dragon hadn’t been comnced.

Xu Guang was satisfied.

After so long, finally no one in the city discussed him. He liked the current quiet days, developing in silence, and didn’t want to break the peace for now.

Earlier he thought about waiting for his notoriety to pass before taking General Wei outside the city to search for Dragon Blood Stone, but now he discovered Yin Lele had a secret.

Xu Guang dismissed this notion, prioritizing safety, intending to find out who was behind it first.

He tried to follow, finding that person hardly ever went out, like a hermit, and when he attempted to get closer, realized that person’s sense was incredibly keen, making it impossible to approach.

Xu Guang could only give up.

As for shooting directly, it was a bit difficult; that person’s sixth sense was sowhat terrifying.

After that, he never saw that person again, unsure if they had left the city.

Xu Guang speculated that the person surnad Yu might be carrying sothing significant, hence the extre caution, and within a few days, they disappeared again.

’I still need to keep an eye.’

...

Returning ho, Wang Jun and the others were already waiting.

Unknowingly, those who searched for food daily for General Wei had grown over forty people.

These people were all picked by Xu Guang from the streets, mostly from good local families, though their salaries were paid by the sect, they were loyal to Xu Guang.

He felt he would stay at the Seventh Grade for a long ti; the days of hibernation might be lengthy, so he planned to cultivate a team of his own, at least for small bits of information, not entirely dependent on eavesdropping or Su Yan.

"Dharma Protector!"

Xu Guang smiled and nodded at Wang Jun, taking out so broken silver, "Brothers, you’ve worked hard, distribute this money among yourselves, sumr is tough on everyone."

Wang Jun’s face showed gratitude, "Thank you, Dharma Protector, for your concern."

After sending off Wang Jun and others, Xu Guang looked at the straw that had been preliminarily processed, slapped away the approaching nose of General Wei, took out so dicinal powder, and began to mix it in.

’When there’s more experience, first elevate the Elephant Envoy profession to Level 11, and simulate Elephant Cuisine, ideally creating sothing like a high-energy bar.’

General Wei seed to sense malice, wrapping his trunk around Xu Guang and lifting him up.

"Just kidding."

In the afternoon, an unexpected visitor ca to see Xu Guang.

Wu Fengqin.

"Master has co out of seclusion."

She had a hint of joy on her face.

Xu Guang was taken aback, "Broke through to Innate?"

Wu Fengqin slightly shook her head, "I heard she’s still a bit short, though she has close ties with the Song Clan, they won’t so easily help her breakthrough."

The atmosphere fell silent for a mont; the two soon continued drinking.

"The Changsong Prefecture had another battle, I heard two Innate experts have died, it’s getting more chaotic."

About these matters related to the Outer Domain, Xu Guang had no sources of information, Su Yan occasionally ntioned it, but he didn’t see Su Yan every day, so he wasn’t clear about these things.

Wu Fengqin continued, "The sect is growing now, Master intends to make so managent changes. If you have a job you’re interested in, I can put in a word for you."

Xu Guang was surprised, not expecting Wu Fengqin would help him.

They were just drinking buddies, and drinking was a way to chat about gossip.

Wu Fengqin stood up curtly, her large figure blocking a swath of sunlight, "You’re the only one in this sect who catches my eye, too bad you’re too thin, or I wouldn’t have gone for Xiong Kui."

Xu Guang: ...

Thanks to Xiong Kui.

Besides the casual chat, Wu Fengqin also brought a long sword as a gift.

"This long sword was forged for you by Old Bear from my family, it’s of thousand forging quality, very nice."

Xu Guang drew out the long sword slightly, its chilling glow radiating a brilliant blue light under the sunlight.

"How much?"

"I know you’ve made quite a lot from the black market, so I won’t be polite with you, three thousand taels."

Xu Guang said nothing, returned ho, and brought out a bottle of elixir.

"This is a bottle of Eighth Grade Bone-Forging Pills, there are three pills left inside, worth more than your long sword, you won’t be at a loss."

Wu Fengqin snatched the elixir, "You can actually refine Bone-Forging Pills? Truly impressive."

"Please keep this confidential."

"Don’t worry."

He didn’t care much about this; though Bone-Forging Pills are precious, he believed that even if Tie Kuang knew now, he wouldn’t say anything.

After Wu Fengqin left, Xu Guang sat in the yard, unable to let go of the newly forged long sword. A sword of thousand forging level was indeed extraordinary, though most of the material was mortal iron, the true treasure was Xiong Kui’s craftsmanship.

"Since the blade is blue, I’ll call you Azure."

...

Reforming was never an easy thing; Tie Kuang’s reform would not be easy, Liu Ning would not agree, and even Yu Shaohua might not support it.

Xu Guang originally thought this matter would drag on for a long ti, or wait until Tie Kuang truly broke through to Innate.

But unexpectedly, sothing happened suddenly without warning.

It was about a rich rchant’s daughter in the city.

An Inner Sect disciple of the Iron Armor Sect, after drinking, forcibly broke into that house and insulted the rchant’s daughter.

This was typical arrogance; after all, the Iron Armor Sect was currently oppressing the Wei Family and the Four Directions Guard, making them almost the sole dominant force in Qingshuo County.

It wasn’t just this disciple; many others in the sect did things they wouldn’t dare before.

And so...

The matter escalated.

The rchant didn’t reside much in Qingshuo County, but his business was substantial, and reportedly had significant connections in the Prefecture City, even bringing in an Innate Expert!

This incident made Tie Kuang furious.

...

Two days later.

Tie Kuang, who had co out of seclusion two days ago, called together the disciples and elders of the sect.

Xu Guang rode on General Wei’s back, accompanied by Han Song.

During this ti, he had been refining elixirs intensively, but still went to the Martial Arts Academy to sign in every day, and now he could sign in faster, taking a little more than an hour at most, gaining more experience than from refining elixirs.

"Dharma Protector Xu, do you think the Sect Leader gathering everyone is related to that incident caused by that brat Chen Bao?"

Xu Guang shook his head, harboring so suspicions in his heart.

That incident had gone too far, Tie Kuang was likely to use it to his advantage.

A mont later.

Xu Guang arrived at the deepest part of the Iron Workshop, under the Scripture Pavilion, signaling General Wei to wait outside.

Here, there was a large council hall called the Iron Armor Hall.

The hall was arranged sowhat like an auditorium from his previous life, with a few tall chairs at the front and seats for the disciples at the back.

There were disciples at the door to guide the way.

Han Song was taken to the seats at the back, while Xu Guang, led by the guiding disciple, walked to the front of the council hall.

There was no unfavorable environnt, no disciples looked down on Xu Guang, thinking he was unworthy to sit at the front in such a manner.

After all, General Wei’s performance during Ren Ziji’s surprise attack was witnessed by many.

Finally, Xu Guang sat in the third position in the row of Dharma Protectors.

Beside him were the Left and Right Dharma Protectors of the sect, the highest-ranking among the protectors.

This was a pair of brothers, rarely shown in public, their strength unknown, the two smiled at Xu Guang, appearing very friendly.

Xu Guang nodded and returned the smile.

"Dharma Protector Xu’s taming of the Great Beast was truly eye-opening."

"You two are too kind, you are seniors, I am rely a junior."

"However, your treatnt is sowhat low. We Dharma Protectors all ca from outside seeking refuge, striving for resources."

The elder of the two said to Xu Guang with a smiling face.

Xu Guang, upon hearing this, smiled.

"The Sect Leader has already said he would improve my treatnt."

"That’s good. I heard you’ve also reached Entry Grade, let’s exchange pointers more in the future."

"No problem."

Those who have road the Jianghu wouldn’t show any negative emotions on a first encounter, their manners and interactions are much better than those disciples in the sect.

While they were talking, disciples from other places were whispering among themselves, those with good sources of information were talking openly among the crowd.

Suddenly, the air quieted down.

Two Sect Leaders along with the long-unseen Grand Elder Liu Ning walked in from outside.

Behind the three, followed their closest disciples.

Yu Shaohua’s disciple was unfamiliar to Xu Guang, a very low-key person.

Following Tie Kuang was naturally Wu Fengqin.

But what surprised Xu Guang was that following Liu Ning was Zhu Ping (Zhu Cheng’s elder brother).

However, as Zhu Cheng ntioned, Zhu Ping is a Martial Fool, very strong, an Eighth Grade expert last year, he’s likely the top disciple under Liu Ning now, so it made sense for Liu Ning to bring him.

Tie Kuang took his seat without wasting words.

He spoke directly.

"The sect’s territory has expanded now, resources have increased, and managent has beco chaotic, but our disciples, truly disappoint the sect!"

With a bang, a hand slapped onto the table.

His expression was grim, his aura intimidating, the Half-Step Innate aura making the disciples below shiver.

"From today onward, the sect will be restructured, under the Elder Council (responsible for sect matters), six halls are established: Punishnt Hall (mainly for penalties), Public Hall (shop managent), External Patrol Hall (daily patrols), Internal Supervision Hall (internal supervision), Master Hall (responsible for disciple training)."

The Grand Elder is responsible for the Punishnt Hall and Inner Hall, the rest will be personally overseen by myself and Sect Leader Yu, now for the selection of the six hall leaders."
