Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Martial Power Sect
The long night silently passed by.
As the first ray of morning sunlight shone upon the courtyard, Zhang Yuan, sitting in the Quiet Chamber, opened his eyes.
He had just erged from the deepest state of ditation.
Zhang Yuan had been sitting all night long.
However, at this mont, he not only felt no fatigue or discomfort, but instead, he was refreshed and full of energy, with his internal organs and limbs and bones feeling as if reborn, experiencing an indescribable ease and delight.
Zhang Yuan truly experienced the wonders of Tier Four!
From last night until now, he had been cultivating the "Righteous Qi Technique," circulating the innate true qi condensed in his dantian through five complete circulations within his body.
This "Righteous Qi Technique" is balanced and calm. Although the cultivation progress is slow, requiring years of persistent effort for improvent,
it triumphs in being comprehensive and stable, with almost no risk of deviation.
After a whole night, Zhang Yuan’s cultivation improved slightly again, and the innate true qi accumulated in his dantian increased by nearly fifty percent.
The cultivation efficiency was more than ten tis stronger than when he first began refining true qi!
This is the strength of a cultivation technique.
Zhang Yuan stood up, left the Quiet Chamber, and went out for a simple wash.
In fact, after starting to cultivate the "Righteous Qi Technique," the self-produced buildup on his body decreased significantly, his aura also began to change gradually, and even his skin showed a luminous glow.
Even without washing his face or brushing his teeth, he felt clean and refreshed.
Morning washing beca more of a habit.
Bang! Bang!
Just as Zhang Yuan finished washing, the gate of the courtyard was pounded vigorously.
Quite rudely.
Zhang Yuan frowned and went out to open the gate.
He saw a group of people in front of the door, each carrying knives and swords, with ferocious and unfriendly expressions.
One narrow-eyed man, upon seeing Zhang Yuan, imdiately questioned fiercely, "Are you the new tenant here?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at him and then looked toward a middle-aged man standing to the side.
This middle-aged man’s appearance was ordinary, his build neither tall nor robust, but there was a faint smile on his face.
Among this group, he was the most inconspicuous.
However, Zhang Yuan could see that this man’s cultivation strength was the highest, reaching the peak of the Tier Three Transformation Realm.
Just one step away from opening the Sea of Qi to refine true qi!
Along with the confidence he unconsciously exuded, there was no doubt he was the leader of this group.
"I’m talking to you, bastard!"
Seeing Zhang Yuan ignore him, the narrow-eyed man was suddenly furious, "Bastard...ah!"
Before he finished spewing his words, the middle-aged man slapped him aside.
The middle-aged man cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Yuan, saying solemnly, "I am Yang Lang, the Outer Hall Incense Master of the Martial Power Sect. May I ask your na?"
His insight was much sharper than the narrow-eyed man’s, realizing sothing was amiss, and his tone carried more caution and vigilance!
Zhang Yuan calmly revealed a copper token, "Outer Guardian of the Celestial King Hall, Zhao Yun."
This was the identity token Zhang Yuan received after being formally registered at the Celestial King Hall.
Today was the first ti he took it out to use.
In fact, after renting this residence, he had been waiting for people from the Martial Power Sect to appear.
And indeed, they ca.
"Turns out it’s a Celestial King Guardian!"
Yang Lang’s expression changed again, showing a strong fear in his eyes.
He noticed Zhang Yuan was a Tier Four Martial Artist, so he showed what he thought was sufficient respect.
But not much fear.
Because the Martial Power Sect not only had many Tier Fours but also stronger Tier Fives, Yang Lang was representing his sect, so why would he fear a re Tier Four like Zhang Yuan?
If he retreated, that would be a joke!
But Yang Lang never imagined that Zhang Yuan would turn out to be a Guardian of the Celestial King Hall.
This was on a whole different level.
Among the nurous gangs and family forces inside and outside the Xia Ruins, the Celestial King Hall, occupying the Central Ruins Tower, was undoubtedly the most unique existence.
The Celestial King Hall always maintained a transcendent status, typically not intervening in the clashes among various forces.
But to assu that the Celestial King Hall was weak would be a huge mistake!
While Outer Guardians weren’t considered true mbers of the Hall, they couldn’t be taken lightly by people like Yang Lang.
Let alone him as an Incense Master, even a Hall Master would have to show so respect.
Yang Lang’s mind raced, and he imdiately smiled, saying, "It was a misunderstanding, Yang was rude, please forgive us!"
As he spoke, he saluted Zhang Yuan again.
The narrow-eyed man quickly followed suit, bowing in apology, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"You are too kind, Master Yang."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I know your sect has so disputes with the landlord here, but those matters have nothing to do with . I am just a tenant, and I will not miss a penny of the required fees!"
Saying this, he handed over the already prepared silver taels, "This is for this month."
Living in the Xia Ruins, unless you are a mber of a gang or family force, every household must pay the required fees.
The fee was also one of the most important sources of inco for sects like the Martial Power Sect.
The fee was essentially a protection fee.
But it also covered so living matters.
Such as the daily patrol of the streets outside, cleaning, and even diation of neighborhood disputes, etc.
In fact, these gangs replaced the functions of the governnt office.
Charging a fee was also reasonable.
Zhang Yuan didn’t see the need to go against such rules, as he could afford this silver tael.
Hence, he had already inquired clearly beforehand.
Yang Lang hesitated for a mont before accepting the silver taels from Zhang Yuan with a smile, "Thank you, Protector Zhao, for your generosity. Yang is truly grateful. Please, let’s et at the Spring Breeze Pavilion one day!"
Spring Breeze Pavilion is a renowned restaurant in the Xia Ruins, with a rather high consumption level.
With Yang Lang’s status, at most, he could book a table in the main hall on the first floor.
Inviting soone for a gathering there was just nice words!
But saying so was both a sign of respect for Zhang Yuan and also saved face for himself.
Zhang Yuan nodded, "See you later."
"Farewell!"
After Yang Lang and his party left, Zhang Yuan weighed the Guardian Copper Token in his hand.
The Celestial King Hall’s reputation was indeed intimidating, enough to deter gangs like the Martial Power Sect.
With this encounter, he could now cultivate here in peace.
If nothing unexpected happend this month, Zhang Yuan planned to sign a long-term contract with the landlord and stay for two or three years first.
As for the disputes between the landlord and the Martial Power Sect, Zhang Yuan didn’t bother to care.
If they intended to drag him into it.
Zhang Yuan wouldn’t mind harvesting so points of Source Material!
Zhang Yuan then retrieved a small banner from his room and placed it on his roof.
This Dao Banner, like the Guardian Token, served as an identity proof.
But the Dao Banner also acted as a marker for transmitting ssages for the Celestial King Hall.
Or a sort of anchor.
Within the Xia Ruins, the Celestial King Hall didn’t use hawks to transmit ssages.
They used talismans!
The intricacies of which aren’t sothing Zhang Yuan could currently understand.
In the days that followed, he remained at ho, focusing earnestly on diligently practicing the "Righteous Qi Technique".
Striving for Vessel Passage and Tendon Passage, Bone Marrow Cleansing!
