Chapter 275: Controlling the Sea-Splitting Black Whale (Part )
During these ten days, Li Yuan listened to the sound ten times almost every day. Regardless of whether the information was useful or not, it had pushed Zhang Yinlu to the brink of promotion.

The 'Listening Book' that records the listening messages has become thicker and now has more than sixty pages, which contains a lot of valuable information.

Incense below the third level was easy to come by. After he kept enough for joining the troops, he used it to familiarize himself with this new talisman.

After the Palm Sound Talisman was upgraded, not only the cooldown of Listening to Heavenly Sound was halved, but the Listening to Sound Wood Talisman was also upgraded.

After his attempts, he found that after reaching the second level, even with the incense of the first level, the value of the sound he heard was comparable to the sound he heard when he was at the first level, using the incense of the second level as the medium.

Promotion is, of course, necessary.

only……

“It’s not easy to advance to the next level after reaching the third level of Palm Sound Talisman.”

The third-level incense was already quite scarce, so Li Yuan changed his mind and returned to his residence along the mountain path.

His small courtyard actually occupies a large area. Although it only has two entrances, there are many houses. The two courtyards are also very large, with various iron materials and weapons piled up.

When he came back, Liu Zheng was moving hexagonal hammers. In the yard, hammers were piled high. At a glance, there were at least one or two thousand hammers.

"Brother Li, the shop is still working hard. We will be able to get the amount you want by tomorrow."

After putting the last few hammers in the yard, Liu Zheng was covered in sweat and looked full of energy.

With Li Yuan's step-by-step instruction, he and Wang Peiyao successively put their strength into the body a few days ago and have become very strong.

"After we have gathered enough money this time, we can put the forging of hammer soldiers on hold. We can speed up the collection of spirit beast leather, bones and blood. Alternatively, we can start recruiting some leatherworkers."

Li Yuan glanced around and knew the number of hammer soldiers needed to make the third Thunder Dragon Juntian Hammer. After a quick calculation, he gave the orders.

"Pei Yao has recruited many leather workers and is preparing to open a leather shop of her own."

Liu Zheng felt relieved. Over the past six months, the expansion and rush work at the forging shop had really kept him busy.

"Well, you can open a leather shop, but there's no rush to open it. Just make shoes."

Li Yuan naturally had no objection. If he was not in a hurry to collect enough money to control the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, he would have opened a leather shop half a year ago.

After all, there are far more blacksmiths than shoemakers, and the latter are equally important to him.

"Did Baibing Pavilion say anything later?"

Li Yuan asked.

The rapid expansion of the weapon forging shop was naturally not smooth sailing, and the several weapon shops that had their blacksmiths poached were not without background.

Among them, Baibing Pavilion is the most troublesome. It is the property of Lin Fangzhui, the true disciple of Longhu and the fourth on the Dragon List.

"After sending away the blacksmiths from Baibing Pavilion, they didn't say anything else."

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "It was my fault for not thinking things through. I almost ruined everything."

Liu Zheng felt a little scared because the power in Hengshan City was far more complex than that in Zhelong Mansion.

Not only the current disciples, but also the previous generations, the previous generations, the inner sect, the true disciples, the helmsmen, the elders, and even the deputy hall masters and hall masters, which one of them does not have a huge amount of property?
If Li Yuan hadn't been standing behind him, he would have been lucky to be able to open a business, let alone expand.

"It's not your fault. I was the one who pushed him too hard."

Li Yuan naturally knew that it was not Liu Zheng's fault. It was mainly because he pushed too hard.

"After that, we will slow down appropriately. For the time being, we don't need to compete with anyone. Harmony brings wealth, so it doesn't matter if we make less money."

"I see."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Don't leave in a hurry, have a meal before going back."

Li Yuan rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook a big pot of red jade spiritual rice. Two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice filled the entire room, so naturally he was going to have a big meal.

“Is this spiritual rice?”

Liu Zheng wanted to decline, but when he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't move anymore.

He had naturally heard of Lingmi, which was only available in a few top restaurants in Hengshan City. One pound of Lingmi cost ten taels of gold, and was extremely expensive.

"so much?"

Liu Zheng was helping, his eyes glancing at the bags of spiritual rice piled in the corner, and he was shocked. How much gold did that cost?

"It's not that expensive for inner disciples to buy spiritual rice. It's not too much, but it's not too much either."

Li Yuan's mouth was watering.

Over the past six months, he had changed a lot, his physique had greatly improved, and his appetite had also grown. Even with Wang Xuanying's share, he couldn't eat as much as he wanted.

"Take some back later, keep one for yourself and give one to Miss Wang."

Lingmi does not need side dishes, but it would taste better with them. It’s just that Li Yuan was too lazy to make them. Liu Zheng was very diligent and quickly cooked up a few dishes.

The two of them had big appetites and soon finished a full pot of spiritual rice. Liu Zheng ate until his belly was full and carried a bag of spiritual rice down the mountain.

"Spiritual rice is really a good thing. I heard that there are several grades of spiritual rice. The inner disciples eat the worst grade..."

Li Yuan stood in a posture to digest the food, and the heat spreading through his body made him a little tipsy. The nourishment from the spiritual rice was different from that from the spiritual pills, it was softer, gentler and purer, and easier to absorb.

His thoughts were scattered. Forty on the Dragon List seemed not low, but he could not yet touch the true secrets of the Dragon and Tiger Temple.

Dragon Pills, Tiger Pills, Great Rejuvenating Pills, Dragon-Tiger Great Pills, high-level spiritual rice, complete unique skills and legendary magical powers... and so on.

“And incense.”

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

He has always been curious about how the imperial court uses incense, but this is a secret even in Longhu Temple and ordinary disciples cannot access it.

"It has to be a true legend."

In the courtyard, Li Yuan practiced the Dragon Zen Posture for a long time, digesting all the effects of the spiritual rice before washing up and returning to the house.

At the same time, he also took the hammers piled in the yard and the spiritual rice in the kitchen back to the military space.

"call!"

Inside the house, Li Yuan lit the oil lamp, took out the "Listening Book" and started to read it.

He listened for four hundred times. Although most of the information was useless, there was still some valuable information. In the past ten days, he went to the Mountain of Beasts many times.

I got more than ten plants of various spiritual herbs and a few skeletons of unknown spiritual beasts, which was considered a small harvest.

"The unrest in the Beast Mountain is indeed related to that little tiger cub..."

As he slowly flipped through the listening book, Li Yuan had some thoughts in his mind.

In recent days, he has been in and out of the Mountain of Beasts several times and has become convinced that the turmoil in the Mountain of Beasts is due to the little tiger cub.

As soon as this little fellow entered the forest, he was like a dragon entering the sea. Relying on his extreme speed, he stole countless spiritual herbs and plants, causing the Hall of Beasts to chase and intercept him several times.

"But the grade of this little fellow is probably very high. I listened to the sound four hundred times, but there was nothing related to it?"

Li Daoye has expectations for this.

This is the mount he chose for himself. Although it is very wild and often doesn't give him face, it is still young after all, and he can always tame it slowly.

After flipping through the listening book, Li Yuan marked out several pieces of information related to him:

"Outer sect disciple Jiang Yinyin is actively contacting several inner sect brothers, competing with many female disciples for the position of Dragon and Tiger Rookie and the position of the Maid of the Master of Music..."

It's a minor annoyance.

Thinking back to the female disciples he had secretly met in the outer sect before, Master Li Dao had a blank expression on his face, but he still felt a little strange in his heart. The outer sect disciples of Longhu Temple were all excellent in terms of talent, background, or other aspects...

But he had a lot of secrets and was new here, so he had no plans to recruit maids for the time being. After all, each of these female disciples was extremely ambitious and they were obviously aiming to marry him.

“The trouble with being too talented.”

Li Yuan had some minor worries.

Today, he is the direct disciple of the Great Dragon Sect Master, a rising star in the Dragon and Tiger School whose talent is comparable to that of Long Xinglie. He is only about twenty years old and is considered the best stud in the eyes of many families.

After a few similar pieces of information, it was about the Dragon and Tiger Temple and Hengshan City, among which the Hundred Weapons Pavilion was mentioned:
"The Hundred Weapons Pavilion has a batch of top-quality weapons to be shipped to the Leiyin Continent. Lin Fangzhui noticed a new weapon forging shop..."

It was after learning this information that Li Yuan ordered Liu Zheng to slow down the expansion and dismiss many of the recruited blacksmiths. It was not because he was afraid of Lin Fang's pursuit, but mainly because of the trouble.

Controlling the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer is the most important thing. He has no intention of getting involved in other matters.

also……

Li Yuan looked at the last piece of information, which he highlighted in red:

"A group of mysterious people contacted the seriously injured Chu Xuankong and seemed to be plotting something..."

The information obtained by listening to the sound was not detailed and seemed confusing, but when he thought about the carriage he had seen in Hengshan City before and the rumor that "Li Yuanba was in Longhu Temple", he could not help but be alert.

"Hidden spirits linger."

Li Yuan sighed. He really just wanted to stay in the sect quietly and practice martial arts.

Putting away the listening book, Li Yuan continued his daily practice, visualizing and strengthening his meridians. During these days, he had made great progress in both hammering and weapon forging.

With the nourishment of the Golden Body Pill and Jade Body Pill, his martial arts skills improved in an orderly manner, and the sixth meridian also took shape.

Only the method of worshipping gods and visualizing them and the Shenzu Sutra have made slow progress due to the lack of follow-up.

"call!"

As the night deepened, Li Yuan opened his eyes. On the windowsill, the little tiger cub was bathing in the moonlight, snoring softly. In the corner, the little mouse was also lying in the moonlight, snoring soundly.

After taking a look, Li Yuan concentrated his mind again, entered the Mysterious Whale Realm, and began to study the Diagram of the Mysterious Whale that Splits the Sea.

These days, for the past six months and the past few years, he has been following basically the same sequence, and if he doesn't complete a practice every day, he feels like he's slacking off.

hum~
In the Mysterious Land of the Black Whale, on an upside-down mountain, Li Yuan pressed his hand on the stone tablet, attracting the omnipresent Black Whale Qi, and sketched a picture of the Black Whale that seemed illusory on the stone tablet.

As his mental strength grew, the picture of the black whale he drew became more complete and realistic, and gradually, he began to comprehend some things.

"The Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale may be able to be divided into two parts: the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale..."

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart.

He had once heard Old Han talk about the process of creating the Thunder Dragon, and he had some idea of ​​the process in his mind.

The essence of a unique skill lies in its form.

The shape of the dragon and tiger is the dragon and tiger, the dragon Zen Vajra is the dragon, and the beast thunder dragon is the thunder dragon. He is very clear that if he wants to comprehend the sea-splitting black whale diagram,

He must grasp the 'Black Whale'.

"In theory, I must be able to transform my internal energy into the shape of a black whale before I can create a visualization method. As for how to construct a black whale and combine the various shapes..."

This step is very difficult.

The same dragon shape can be very different due to different martial arts and the different shapes that are integrated. Without any reference, it is self-evidently difficult to outline a black whale from nothing.

According to Li Daoye's own understanding, this is like a puzzle. The fifty-one forms he possesses are the parts. To create the skill, he has to use these parts to piece together the complete shape of the Black Whale.

"Don't be impatient. If you are impatient, you will easily make mistakes. It took Old Han sixty or seventy years to create the Thunder Dragon of Beasts..."

Li Yuan comforted himself in his heart.

After a long time, Li Yuan finished practicing for the day, and his mind turned to the wooden scroll of listening on the gray stone platform:
"Listen to the heavenly sound!"

Before getting promoted, he naturally had to use this opportunity to listen to the Heavenly Sound. Otherwise, after the promotion, when it cooled down, wouldn't that be equivalent to losing an opportunity?
hum~
The light on the wooden tablet surged, drowning Li Yuan's mind.

"Palm Sound Scroll..."

Li Yuan concentrated his mind highly, but before he could sense anything, he had already "left his body" again, floating up into the sky.

"Shh!"

The tiger cub taking a nap on the windowsill turned back as if he had sensed something, a hint of suspicion flashed in his golden eyes. She looked at him carefully and lay down again.

……

hum!
It seems like a long time, or it may be just a moment.

Li Yuan was distracted for a moment and felt that he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers. Countless lights and shadows kept flowing like slides. He wanted to see something, but saw nothing.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a brightly lit 'school'.

"Where is this?"

With the experience of the first time, Li Yuan seemed very calm. He looked around and was slightly surprised.

The standards of this school are very high.

The space inside the school is very large, with six pillars that can be hugged by three people. The students sitting in it are all handsome and tall, and just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are either rich or noble.

"Strange, didn't you notice the light of the weapon?"

Li Yuan glanced around the school. He could see that many of the students were carrying weapons. From his perspective as a master of weapon forging, there were many famous weapons, some even top-grade ones.

Strangely, no light was detected.

"Lessons today!"

When Li Yuan heard the voice, he slowly turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard slowly walking into the lecture hall. He coughed lightly, and many students stood up and bowed to greet him.

"Today's class..."

The old man waved his hand slightly, motioning the students to sit down, and then began his lecture.

"Could it be that the Tianyin this time is the lecture given by this old man?"

Li Yuan looked around, full of suspicion, but was soon attracted by the old man.

This old man was obviously a master of martial arts. When he spoke, the inner energy surged throughout his body and transformed into huge words that could be clearly seen even in the last row.

Sometimes, the words turn into various pictures, vivid and lifelike.

“…This is convenient.”

Li Yuan had never thought that true energy could be used in lectures, but after listening for a while, he lost interest. This was obviously the classics, history, and miscellaneous books of this world.

Li Yuan looked around until the class was over and all the apprentices left, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Wenlong."

After the students paid their respects and left, the old teacher suddenly spoke and called one of the students, a plain-looking young man who looked a bit honest.

"Master."

The young man bowed slightly.

"I have a question today."

The old man raised his hand and pointed out the window:
"What's in the sky?"
