Chapter 100 Its light is dark, its color is seven, the sea-splitting black whale hammer!
“More than 1,400 years ago, Shenbing Valley was granted the title of Zhelong Prefecture for its meritorious service to the dragon. As successive valley masters have worked hard to govern the country, Shenbing Valley now occupies one of the eight prefectures in Huizhou, but it radiates to three prefectures, making it the leader of the four major sects in Huizhou.

Its strength is far superior to the three major sects of Qianjun Cave, Sanyuanwu, and Liexue Mountain."

"The Divine Weapon Valley is divided into two gates, the inner and outer gates, and the two divisions of the Casting Army and the Divine Guard. The Divine Guard Army is the strongest army in Huizhou. It once defeated the Sanyuan Army of Sanyuanwu and the Iron Blood Army of Liexue Mountain in one battle..."

"The Divine Guards only recruit 3,000 men. If you don't cultivate your inner strength, you are not qualified to join the army. They are so powerful that they are like clouds..."

……

In the not-so-spacious carriage, Li Yuan lay sideways, reading a book. He was used to the occasional bumps.

Traveling is an extremely boring process.

The expected mountain bandits and horse robbers were not seen, but there were quite a few people setting up checkpoints to collect money. Lin Qingfa was an old hand at this, and he went smoothly all the way without any trouble at all.

The apprentices who were going out for the first time had to sleep on the carriage every day and practice martial arts when they got off the carriage. It was much more boring than living in the city.

After the brief novelty wore off, Li Yuan also felt bored and collected a lot of books to read on the way to pass the time.

Naturally, they are all related to the Divine Weapon Valley.

During this journey, he passed through seven counties and bought a lot of books, but he did not find anything related to the method of worshiping gods. However, there were traces of the method of worshiping gods in the temples he passed by.

"This Great Fortune Ancestor is truly a god. He has granted all the roads, states, and prefectures to various major sects. No wonder the Great Fortune Kingdom has not declined for more than 1,400 years..."

The more Li Yuan read, the more he felt emotional. This was not generosity he could understand.

Cao Yan was already generous enough, but this guy was even more important. When he said he would share the world with the sect, he really meant it and divided it thoroughly.

Therefore, for more than 1,400 years, the royal family has not suffered any impact at all.

Taizu has divided the world among us, so which sect should not be grateful and accept the favor?
"Without a major turmoil, there will be no peerless heroes, and the great fortune can really last for many years..."

The system of Dayun is different from any dynasty in the previous life. This is not the feudal system that Li Yuan originally understood. It is more like...

"The Grand Alliance of Sects..."

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

The Divine Weapon Valley is the sky of Zhelong Mansion, then, these big and small sects are the sky of Dayun Dynasty. The sense of existence of the court is extremely low...

On the other side, Wang Peiyao was also flipping through a book, speaking softly from time to time:

"Everyone in the inner and outer sects of the Divine Weapon Valley, and even the menial disciples, are proud to join the Divine Guard Army. Commander Qiu Long was originally a menial disciple, but after joining the army, he became an outer sect disciple, and later became an inner sect disciple and returned to Commander Gao Liu..."

Wang Peiyao has a very clear purpose.

No matter whether one is an outer disciple or a menial disciple, one can join the Divine Weapon Valley. The ultimate goal is to join the Divine Guard Army and return home in glory like Qiu Long.

“An alternative path to advancement…”

Li Yuan nodded to show his understanding.

Anyone who studies literature or practices martial arts can become an official, but joining a sect is obviously more popular than taking the imperial examination.

As the city guard commander with a large number of troops under his command and the Divine Weapon Valley as his backer, his power is much greater than that of a county magistrate.

Great power, soldiers, few things to do, lots of money, and a staff...

"Unfortunately, there are so many masters in the Divine Weapon Valley, and there are countless people who want to join the Divine Guard Army. I don't have the talent that Brother Li has, so I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Wang Peiyao pretended to be pitiful, and when she saw that Li Yuan was unmoved, she closed the book:

"With Brother Li's talent, it will be easy for him to enter the inner sect. However, I have asked someone to inquire about Elder Han's reputation these days, and he is not very good..."

"How to say?"

Li Yuan straightened up.

Although he became rich quickly, he was not as good as Wang Peiyao, Liu Zheng and others in many aspects, especially in intelligence gathering and personal connections.

At most, he would buy some popular books when passing through other counties, where people might have other inside information.

“I heard that Elder Han is bloodthirsty, and he seems to have other purposes in accepting disciples.

Over the years, he has accepted 20 to 30 disciples, but he is often away from the sect and rarely gives any guidance. Some of his disciples have only met him once, and they learn and practice martial arts on their own..."

Wang Peiyao lowered her voice.

After the news that the gate of Shenbing Valley was opened spread, all kinds of information about Shenbing Valley were flying around. It took her a long time to sort it out before she came to communicate with Li Yuan.

"Any other purpose?"

Li Yuan closed the book and asked: "Where did you get this information?"

"This……"

Wang Peiyao hesitated to speak: "This news came from the Divine Weapon Valley, it should be true..."

"Rumors, true or false."

Li Yuan put down the book and motioned for her to continue, without feeling any ripples in his heart.

There are factional fights in the weapon forging shops, so it is impossible for a huge place like the Divine Weapon Valley to be harmonious.

"There is not much news about Elder Han, but there are many rumors about the opening of the Divine Weapon Valley. Some people even say that the Divine Weapon Valley intends to unify the various prefectures in Huizhou..."

Wang Peiyao heard a lot of rumors, some true and some false, and they lasted for a long time.

Li Yuan listened, believing it or not, and it actually killed quite a bit of time.

"The news of the opening of the gate of the Divine Weapon Valley has been circulating for several years. I'm afraid that many people will come to become my disciples this time..."

Wang Peiyao is somewhat worried:
"Not to mention those from far away, there are quite a few geniuses in our Yunjing County. There is one called 'Shao Fangbai', who is said to have the shape of a little dragon, with a top-notch physique and talent. He developed internal strength a few years ago..."

"And 'Zhao Yisi'..."

Wang Peiyao looked heavy.

Not only her, but also Yue Yunjin and Liu Zheng, who were full of confidence before setting out, felt a little uneasy after hearing so many rumors along the way.

The counties of Yunjing Commandery have a population of over a million, and there are a great many people practicing martial arts. There are also many people with superior aptitude, and there are also many young geniuses who have already made a name for themselves.

However, Zhelong Prefecture covers an area of ​​nine counties.

Seeing her worried, Li Yuan comforted her softly:
"You don't have to worry too much. These people won't compete with you for a chor disciple..."

"..."

Wang Peiyao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and her mood improved a lot: "By the way, speaking of geniuses, you are quite famous now. Some people in Qingsha County were talking about you before..."

"They say that you are a forging prodigy who has mastered the White Ape Cloak Hammer to perfection in just one year of martial arts training. You are favored by Ghost-faced Prajna. Many people regard you as a strong rival!"

Wang Peiyao covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Strong rival?"

Li Yuan was speechless, but he kept it in mind.

He had no intention of comparing himself with those young geniuses, but was just thinking about his own cards.

Wang Peiyao didn't stay too long and returned to her carriage after a while, while Li Yuan lay down for a nap and squinted his eyes as he entered the weapon forging space.

Woo~
Outside the starry sky transformed by the Weapon-control talisman, it was as dark as ink, making people feel frightened at the sight of it.

On the much wider grey stone platform, all kinds of weapons and items were neatly laid out. In the three incense burners were placed gold and silver, as well as the four hundred kilograms of refined steel that he had taken away when he left.

"Now that I'm gone, Old Zhang should feel more relaxed."

Li Yuan smiled in his heart.

He never drew out his monthly salary, but Zhang Ben did lend him five hundred taels of silver privately, which was part of his fortune accumulated over the years. Old Zhang's feelings for the Weapon Forging Shop were even deeper than Cao Yan's.

"The fourth-level weapon control talisman can be used with more control effects, but there are still not enough weapons..."

Li Yuan counted his assets. This was his way of pleasing himself. Every time he counted them, his mood would get better.

Not to mention gold, silver and the like.

At this moment, he had a pair of fourth-order golden snake-wrapped hands, a third-order six-sided hammer, an iron-cutting knife, and an autumn-water sword, and there were as many as thirty-six second- and first-order weapons, all of which were unique.

However, the multiple sets of palm-control combinations he had envisioned were still far from complete, and only one set of hammer soldiers was considered good.

"The Jade Copper Hammer, the Six-sided Hammer, the Wind Tiger Pestle, and the Wind-breaking Hammer, these four long-handled heavy hammers combined together are enough to deal with a warrior as strong as Cao Yan.

I just wonder how much stronger the sect's elite warriors are than Cao Yan?"

In the weapon-controlling scroll, the four big stars all flashed the shadows of hammer weapons. Most of the time, Li Yuan used these four hammer weapons as the main weapons to prevent accidents on the road. When practicing, he controlled the "Tiger Roaring Sword Method Fundamental Diagram" and the prerequisite weapons that met the conditions for controlling the fundamental diagram.

"The third bone transformation is not far away. After that, it will be the Wild Lion Sword Technique and the Swimming Fish Technique. I am afraid that I may not have enough time to complete the nine forms before I become your disciple..."

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

The several volumes of fundamental maps that he bought, exchanged, or borrowed from the government office, the Yuan family, and the city guards were also carefully selected.

First, it cannot overlap with his already modified root bones. Second, he must have a matching weapon that can meet the conditions for controlling the fundamental map.

With these two factors combined, his choices are actually very limited.

He was very busy along the way. Every time he arrived at a county town, the first thing he would do was buy various elixirs. In less than two months, he had spent more than four hundred taels of silver on elixirs.

The pills can keep up, but what can't keep up is his endurance...

"Before becoming my disciple, it would be best if you can gather all nine forms. If you can't... just do it anyway!"

Li Yuan had made up his mind. He would fight to the Jiuxing no matter what. That would determine his status and treatment after he joined the sect!
"Among the top-grade root bones, those with six forms are called Little Dragon Form, and those with nine forms are called Dragon Form... Even though they are both top-grade root bones, the difference is huge."

The more his bones changed, the more Li Yuan could feel the difference between different bones.

This gap exists in the recovery of blood and qi, the total amount of blood and qi, the absorption of medicinal power from taking pills and medications, and the progress of martial arts training.

For example, Yue Yunjin practiced the White Ape Cloak Hammer faster and better than Wu Ming, even though the latter was more diligent and worked harder.

Similarly, there are naturally differences between the two-shape, six-shape, and nine-shape.

"No wonder Old Han can change into a hundred forms. The more his bones change, the faster he learns martial arts... I'm afraid Old Han is even more terrifying than I thought."

Li Yuan truly felt the benefits of the change in his bones.

He had no corresponding weapons to master the martial arts that Han Chuijun left him, and he didn't spend too much time practicing them, but he still learned all of them and even mastered the Bull Kung Fu.

He only has the fourth form of root bone. The sixth form or the ninth form would probably be much faster. As for the hundred form, that is beyond his imagination.

Call ~
After exiting the military command space, Li Yuan lifted the curtain of the carriage. The sky had already darkened, but there were no villages or towns in front of him, and no people behind him. It was obvious that he would have to sleep in the wilderness again.

Under the command of Lin Qingfa, a group of escort leaders and guards have begun to set up simple tents. Some people are collecting firewood to make a fire, while others are fetching water. Everything is in order.

Li Yuan lent a hand and had his meal and returned to his tent before dark.

As the head of a blacksmith shop, he naturally didn't have to sleep in a large bunk bed in a tent with Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and six other people.

"Bold and strong!"

Blowing out the lights in the tent, Li Yuan took out a long sword. However, before practicing martial arts and taking the elixir, he first stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth and bit it.

After several bone changes, his tolerance to itching and severe pain has improved significantly, but the itch is the itch, the pain is the pain, he can't stand it, he still can't stand it...

call!
Li Yuan moved slowly and gently, using his long sword to push the soldier's body.

As his bones and muscles changed and he learned more martial arts, he felt more and more the power of this superior martial art. His physique was much stronger than before, and it was difficult for the White Ape Hammer and other standing exercises to exhaust his energy and blood.

But the Bingdao Fighting Hammer is still okay.

Every time he performed a set of military postures, he still sweated profusely.

puff!
After a long time, Li Yuan fell to the ground, looking like he had been fished out of the water, with the rag in his mouth already bitten to pieces.

In a corner of the tent, the little mouse almost burrowed into the ground when he saw Li Yuan’s ferocious expression.

During this journey, Li Yuan went to the pharmacy to buy pills, but he also encountered inferior products a few times. The little mouse vomited and defecated six or seven times...

"Come again!"

After lying down and resting for a long time, Li Yuan finally stood up with his aching body, swallowed another pill, and continued to change his bones. He didn't get into the carriage until it was bright, and fell into a sound sleep.

They would not get up again until they set up camp at night.

This cycle repeated itself over and over again. On the night before arriving at Zhelong City, a tiger's roar was heard from Li Yuan's tent, startling the entire convoy so much that they lit torches.

Strong and strong, it’s done!
"Shopkeeper Li?!"

Lin Qingfa took a step forward with a gun in hand, his heart pounding like a drum, and he was extremely frightened.

This is the first convoy of the Changyuan Escort Agency after the turmoil. If something goes wrong, the ancestral foundation will be completely ruined in his hands!

Xilulu~
There was a chorus of voices and horse neighs, and hundreds of torches were erected. Even Liang Ashui, a person at the edge of the caravan, came over with a harpoon in hand.

"No, I'm fine..."

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Li Yuan forced himself to come out of the tent. His face was pale and he looked exhausted.

"Shopkeeper Li, what are you doing?"

Lin Qingfa subconsciously glanced at Wang Peiyao who came over after hearing the sound.

"I over-trained myself and something went wrong..."

Li Yuan explained a few words, and without caring what others thought, he turned around and went back to the tent.

His muscles and bones were sore and tingling now, and he just wanted to lie down.

"This……"

Lin Qingfa and others were a little confused, but seeing that he was fine, they didn't ask any more questions.

"It's almost dawn, let's pack up and set off. We'll reach the city before dark. If we take a short detour, we'll be able to see the gate of the Divine Weapon Valley!"

……

……

Zhelong Prefecture is one of the eight prefectures in Huizhou, Hengshan Road, and has nine counties and 27 districts under its jurisdiction. There are many mountains and lakes in the territory. It was called Zhelong because Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose to power from here 3,400 years ago.

Because the Pingjiang Grand Canal runs through two provinces, six states and twenty-one prefectures and flows into the sea through Zhelong Prefecture, the commerce is developed and the prosperity is the best among all the prefectures in Huizhou.

The city of Zhelong is located on the bank of this Grand Canal, like a crawling giant beast, handling a large number of merchant ships and passengers.

More than 20 miles east of the city, there is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, separating all the other prefectures. The Divine Weapon Valley is located in the middle of it.

"Is that the Divine Weapon Valley?! There seems to be a palace in the mountain?"

"I haven't even reached the city yet, but I've already seen the Divine Weapon Valley! Unfortunately, it's only mid-February and the Divine Weapon Valley is closed..."

"What a fine horse! It's so big, is it a dragon horse?"

"Iron Sword Sect, are they here to become my disciples too?"

……

There were many convoys coming and going on the official road, and all the passers-by looked at the mountains in the distance.

From afar, you can seem to see smoke rising from the mountain. Neat bluestone steps extend from the mountainside to the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and it seems that there are people on duty.

"Have we arrived at the Divine Weapon Valley?"

In the carriage, Li Yuan was still digesting the changes after the third bone modification. Hearing the noise of the convoy, he couldn't help but feel moved and lifted the curtain.

Towering mountains stretch across the side, and a large river flows through the mountain gate, heading straight for the distant Zhelong City.

It was noon, with four suns hanging high on the top of the mountain and a clear sky. Li Yuan glanced up casually and felt his palms burning as if he was holding red-hot charcoal, and his palm weapon talisman began to vibrate violently.

"That is?!"

With a "whoosh", Li Yuan jumped out of the carriage, ignoring the shouts of Wang Peiyao and others behind him, and quickly crossed the official road and the grassland and came to the Grand Canal.

Across the wide river, Li Yuan looked at the towering mountains in the distance.

"This……"

Li Yuan looked shocked.

He saw a black light among the mountains. The black light was like a pillar, rising straight into the sky, reaching a height of who knows how many hundreds or thousands of meters. It was thin, yet extremely clear!
"That's not black, that's... dark blue!"

His heart was beating like a drum, Li Yuan murmured.

Under the blazing sun, the beam of light flashed seven colors in his eyes, as dazzling as a rainbow, but even more dazzling were the words that suddenly emerged in his eyes:

【Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer (Level 11)】
