Chapter 508: What artistic conception is stronger than the Martial Saint? (4k)

“How come you always come up with new ideas?”

The study room on the third floor has its windows wide open.

Xu Yuelong knocked on the bay window in confusion, wondering why the Yue King's butler had made a jade plaque.

There are three kinds of plates, bronze, silver and gold. He said this himself yesterday when he sent people to dig the pit and laid down the jade pillar.

A jade token appeared out of nowhere.

Since you had the jade token, why did you deliberately conceal it before?
Wouldn't it be better to just say it openly?

"What does the jade token represent?"

The roar of mountains and seas at the martial arts arena drowned out the chirping of insects and birds in the forest.

"The jade token! The jade token that Master Liang holds!"

"There's a jade medal on top of the gold medal! The jade medal is more powerful than the gold medal!"

"Strange, a gold medal weighs dozens of taels, which is equivalent to hundreds of taels of silver. How can a piece of white jade be worse?"

"It must be worth thousands of taels. It's a one-of-a-kind thing! No one has ever taken it before!"

"In front of Master Liang, the masters from other towns don't count as masters!"

Common people don’t understand the twists and turns, they only need to know that the jade medal is more powerful than the gold medal!

So cool!

The villagers of Yixing Town were proud of it and turned themselves into tap water.

The news that Liang Qu passed the martial arts test and obtained the jade token spread like wildfire from the martial arts arena to the outside.

Zhang Xu ordered the soldiers to find the person in charge of Tianbo Chamber of Commerce and personally introduce the extraordinary jade token to Liang Qu.

"The material of this jade is nothing special. It is top-grade white jade from the Jade River under the Tianshan Mountains. If it were put on the market, it would probably be worth a thousand taels of silver. The only special thing is that it contains the power of a strike from the King of Yue, and the storage period is five years.

It was made by the King of Yue himself when he set out from the imperial capital. Less than two months have passed so far, and he has traveled through many states and prefectures, but has never been given out. Therefore, the Liangshui Envoy can be roughly considered to have been five years. "

The power of the King of Yue’s one strike?
Liang Qu turned over the oily jade plate.

There is a faint silver line flashing behind the jade plate, appearing and disappearing from time to time, which is very magical.

There are similar patterns on the top of the snake demon's head and on the white marble pillars.

understood.

The old monk’s little order!

Liangqumen is clear.

The master's golden body magical power is praised by everyone who has used it.

"Dry!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin stared at the jade token with their eyes shining and their mouths feeling sour.

A strike from the Martial Saint!
This item alone is worth much more than white jade!
If you encounter a lesser master, you will probably be able to protect yourself!
What's more, the jade token's function is far more than that. If you carry a martial saint with you, who wouldn't be afraid of a strike?
Who among the cats and dogs below the Grandmaster dares to approach?

There is absolutely no need to redeem it, and it can be of great value.

Ran Zhongshi saw Liang Qu happily put away the jade token, took a step forward, clasped his hands and bowed.

"Mr. Zhang, there is something I am very curious about. Could you please help me solve this problem?"

"I don't dare to answer your questions, please ask Ran Zuoling."

"Since there is a fourth-class jade medal above bronze, silver, and gold, why didn't you tell everyone in advance? Why did you have to wait until the winner of the jade medal appeared before we heard about it?"

Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong pricked up their ears.

They are just as curious.

The gold medalist had passed through so many prefectures along the way and had seen many of them, but this was the first time he heard of the jade medal.

"This..." Zhang Xu hesitated.

Ran Zhongshi consoled him: "It's okay if you can't tell me."

"It's not that I can't tell you. I am ashamed. The King of Yue ordered this. I don't know why..." Zhang Xu had never touched a pillar before, so he didn't know the ins and outs. He did whatever the King of Yue said. "Perhaps some of the gold medal holders have some clues?"

Ran Zhongshi seemed to be thinking about something.

Why are there four grades, but they say there is a third grade and hide the first grade?

Unless... the King of Yue himself doesn't think anyone can pass the fourth level!
There is no need to treat a test that you cannot pass as a carrot and hang it up for everyone to see but not eat.

As for why it is set up.

The King of Yue felt that it was unlikely, but at the same time he still had some hope?

Ran Zhongshi looked towards Liangqu.

Liang Qu looked up at the sky.

"You kid!" Xu Zishuai jumped up from the slope and rode on Liang Qu's waist. "Tell me quickly! What did you go through later? Tell me your ideas on how to pass the level!"

Liang Qu had not yet recovered from his weak state. He was pressed so hard that he could not straighten his back and coughed twice.

"You won't be able to learn the strategy even if I tell you!"

"How do you know I can't learn it if you don't tell me?"

The news flew into the Liuguang Boat.

There was a shock.

"Is it jade?"

"Jade token? A strike from the King of Yue? Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true!" Bronze medalist Lin Yanjiang knelt on one knee. "The Shuihe official fumbled for a quarter of an hour, and then the white marble pillar lost its silver luster and became ordinary. Mr. Zhang stepped forward and personally presented a piece of mutton-fat white jade. The jade is of the best quality and very smooth. If it is sold, it will cost several thousand taels!"

Several gold medal owners who were playing cards and chatting put down their cards, staring blankly and frowning.

They certainly don't think anyone is lucky.

The test set by the King of Yue himself, can it be explained by shitty luck?
What a shit luck.

What is the point of being able to survive the last quarter of an hour?
"Jade plaque... How could there be a jade plaque on a gold plaque?"

Ma Shaobai crumpled the cards, finding it unbelievable.

When you first hear that someone has a jade token, it's like the Holy Emperor in the Golden Palace has personally selected this year's top scholar in the imperial examination, and then singled out an additional person, saying that this person is more talented than the top scholar.

Afterwards, he issued an edict, ordering the Ministry of Revenue to fabricate a new title to represent his superiority over the top scholar!

Is this number one scholar still the number one scholar?

He was jubilant one moment and awkwardly picking his feet the next moment as he stood on the throne.

"The silver light of the white marble pillar disappeared out of thin air? Normally, shouldn't a magic spear appear and shoot people out? The silver light won't disappear." Xie Yan looked around, "Are all of you like this?"

Several people nodded.

After a quarter of an hour, the magic spear appeared and shot out the martial arts examiner.

Anyone who touches the white marble pillar will be gently bounced away.

Think about this.

A terrifying thought emerged in everyone's mind.

Ma Shaobai raised his eyes slightly and stammered: "Could it be that... this kid broke the silver spear?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xie Yan sternly rejected it. "I can feel it clearly. The magic spear is made of the Yue King's Black Soldier! You and I saw it suppress the Ghost Mother Sect Master that day. It must have a tiny bit of the will of the Martial Saint attached to it.

Pure artistic conception cannot be broken by sheer strength! Unless a tiger hunter who has opened the mysterious light and smelted hundreds of classics comes, there may be a chance to win by sheer quantity and hold on! "

Some people agree: "The White Jade Pillar becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent. Entering the Wolf Smoke Realm, the Galloping Horse Realm, and the four levels all have different experiences. Only the last one has no difference. The purpose of setting it up is not to let people pass!"

"Besides, what kind of martial arts realm is higher than that of the current martial saint?"

"..."

"laugh."

At the card table, the young man threw down his cards and sneered.

Ma Shaobai said angrily: "Pei Yunkun! What are you laughing at?"

Pei Yunkun's expression was indifferent.

"I have heard that there are birds overseas that hide their heads in the sand when they are ambushed to avoid the enemy. How are you doing anything different from them?"

silence.

"Brother Kun is right." Another person said, "The martial arts in the world are vast, and those passed down by martial saints are not uncommon. It is possible to learn a little bit of artistic conception, but it takes at least reaching the upper level of tiger hunting and refining hundreds of classics. How can a mere wolf smoke be used?"

"That's the truth. Can you think of an excuse to get the other jade tokens? Can you think of the reason why King Yue concealed the fourth level?"

"There's no point in saying more. You might as well go and meet him." Pei Yunkun stood up with his hands on his knees.

Lin Yanjiang, who brought the news, suddenly said, "After the auction, the jade token owners will have a duel! It was Mr. Zhang who instigated it."

"Competition?"

The wheels rolled over the yellow soil, raising a little smoke and dust.

Zhu Bingcan, the manager of Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, lifted the curtain, got out of the car, walked up to Liang Qu and Zhang Xu, and saluted respectfully.

"Since Sir Liang holds the one-of-a-kind jade token, Sir Liang will hold the jade token in this auction. For any three items, no commission will be charged. For the remaining ten items, 10% off will be charged. For more than 13 items, 95% off will be charged, just like the gold medal."

Liang Qu looked delighted.

Quite a lot!

Most of the items auctioned by Tianbo Chamber of Commerce are not owned by the Chamber of Commerce itself. It only acts as a platform to sell them and then takes a cut from them. The essence of discounts is to indirectly reduce their own cuts.

For example, Liangqu’s Mermaid’s Tears are precious jewelry, and the commission rate is an astonishing 25%.

No commission is charged, which is equivalent to a 25% discount on jewelry items.

The commission for other natural treasures and spiritual artifacts is not as high as that for precious jewelry, but most of them are around 15%, or at least 15%.

“What a profit!”

Xu Zishuai's eyes lit up.

There are thirteen discount quotas, Liang Qu certainly cannot use them all himself, so he can completely consume them internally!
"Let's go!" Liang Qu put on his badge, "Let's go tell Master the good news."

"Let's go!"

"That's what a real man should do."

Sitting on the recliner, the young man looked envious.

He drank the dry mung bean soup, stood up with the help of the handrail, held the hard-earned bronze medal, and staggered home.

Zhang Xu did not stop him and watched Liang Qu leave. He asked his men to carry away the white marble pillar that had lost its aura and boarded the Liuguang Boat to look for the King of Yue.

Top cabin.

"master……"

"What is his character like?"

"I came here in a hurry, so I didn't know much."

"Go check."

"Yes!"

The white marble columns are bathed in sunlight and appear pure white throughout.

Guan Congjian saw that the villagers were blocking the way so tightly that there was no way out. He jumped onto a tree trunk and made a few leaps. He looked around but couldn't find Liangqu and was very disappointed.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a woman behaving frivolously. She was sitting on a bench, her white socks half-removed, her toes lightly hooked on the embroidered shoes, exposing her thighs, and she immediately jumped down from the tree.

"Slut!"

Finished scolding.

Guan Congjian left.

"?"

Weng Shaoping laughed out loud.

Apart from Guan Congjian, few people dared to scold their cousin to her face.

To be honest.

He's been wanting to do this for a long time.

……

One of the three white jade pillars on the field was removed, and the three teams had to merge into two.

The half-mile-long team, as the excitement intensified, stretched out to nearly a mile in winding ways.

Many people fainted from heatstroke while waiting in line and were dragged under the shade of trees and fed mung bean soup.

It was not until noon that the third pillar returned to the center and the congestion eased.

Shangrao Port.

With copper coins in his pocket, Taotao strode to the shoe store. He looked around and was surprised to find that there were not many people there today.

"Mr. Otter!"

When the waiter saw that it was Taotao who opened the restaurant, he immediately invited him to take a seat, threw a towel around, and arranged four dishes and a soup as usual.

Serve good food.

The otter opened its claws to hook Xiao Er and circled his finger.

The waiter thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "You ask why there is no one?"

Otter nodded.

"From yesterday afternoon to today, everyone went to the government office of Hebo to touch the jade pillar. Whoever touches it the longest gets it!" The waiter gave a thumbs up. "Oh, right, Mr. Otter, your master, Mr. Liang, he got it, the biggest one! He touched a jade plaque this morning! It's said to be worth tens of thousands of taels!"

Touch for a long time.

The strongest?
La La's eyes lit up, he turned a deaf ear to the second half of the sentence, finished his meal, paid the copper coins and went to the government office in Hebo.

to the place.

There were huge crowds of people and loud drums and gongs.

Taotao stood up straight, looking at the crowd cautiously, not caring about the surprised and horrified looks of others, and took the initiative to line up at the back of the line, waiting to touch the pillar.

The outsiders had never seen such a big river otter, so they retreated into a circle, hoping that the soldiers would drive it away.

People who live by water know how ferocious the river wolves are.

Unexpectedly, none of the soldiers reacted and turned a blind eye.

Are the court officials just sitting there doing nothing?

The monster hit me in the face!

A martial artist from another place was not used to this and was about to attack, but someone hurriedly stopped him from behind.

"The otter of Master Liang's family! It can sail a boat, go shopping, and never ask for change. It's very generous! Everyone calls it Master Otter. If you don't mess with it, it won't hurt you!"

"Master Liang?" The martial artist hesitated. "Master Liang who took out the jade token?"

"That's the gentleman!"

"Strange, the man is supernatural, and the river otters he raises are not bad either!"

"A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister."

The strangers who had never seen such a thing were terrified and moved forward bit by bit.

Wait half a day.

Otter came to the front of the white marble column, looked around, and imitated the others by rubbing his fur and putting his paws on it. Immediately, his fur stood up, his mouth bared, and his sharp teeth were exposed, but he did not fall asleep like ordinary people.

"Hey! The otter from Ashui's family!"

Ke Wenbin under the eaves raised his eyebrows.

Most warriors can hold out for a few breaths, while ordinary people will fall down as soon as they are touched and fall asleep peacefully.

Little river otter, can you hold on?
Ke Wenbin called people to come and watch the fun.

Under the white jade pillar, Taotao's face twisted and changed. Sometimes he looked bitter and resentful, sometimes he gnashed his teeth, sometimes he was terrified, and he refused to take his claws off the jade pillar.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The long shadow of the sundial moved slowly, and the villagers were frightened.

This……

"I don't think a river otter will ever get the brand. I might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill myself with it!"

It seems to have come true.

A quarter of an hour was only a breath away, and the soldier next to him was almost reaching out to take the bronze medal.

Just at this moment, Taotaokai trembled all over and collapsed to the ground in a daze.

Call ~
A low exhalation was heard at the scene.

fortunately.

The bronze medalist squeezed the heavy weight around his waist and it was still very heavy.

It is better to turn around and jump into the river than to let a stupid beast compete with you.

The soldier grabbed Otter by the scruff of the neck and dragged him into the shade of a tree.

The clerk who was drawing the blue blood mark held the inkstone and the brush in his hand. He was at a loss when facing the black-haired river otter. After thinking for a moment, he lightly touched its nose.

No second test is allowed.

"They have been able to hold out for so long, that's incredible! Can our River and Lake Institute train a unit of river otters?" Ke Wenbin tilted his head.

Once the number of finless porpoises increases, they will be first-rate experts in cross-border battles and underwater patrols.

But that was underwater, people still had to live on shore, and many things were inconvenient.

It just so happens that river otters have claws, so they can go ashore and do many technical tasks that river dolphins cannot do.

"It's not very possible. The court has tried it before. The river otter is too fierce. It is possible to subdue it, but it needs to be a smart one among the monsters. Dan Ashui or his family can barely be commanded to do something."

Ran Zhongshi pointed at the otter and said, "The next generation will run away when they get a chance. If two nests are put together, one will die tragically the next day, and they will not be able to grow together.

Furthermore, it is very difficult to train ordinary spirits, and it is impossible for them to command the river otter to sail the boat as easily as Ah Shui did."

"How did Ah Shui raise him..."

June 18th.

Chenshi.

There were a lot of carriages and horses in front of Tianbo Chamber of Commerce.

Liang Qu handed over the invitation and led Long Binglin and Long Eying into Tianbo Tower.
