The Daqi Kingdom is located on the peninsula protruding from the east of the Dongzhou Continent. It is in the same area as the Yan Kingdom and the Huang Kingdom. advance and retreat. Daqi is located in the center of the peninsula, sandwiched between the other two countries, but its national strength is the strongest, claiming to have millions of standing armies, followed by Huangguo, and Yanguo is the weakest. In addition to the capital area directly under Daqi, the following areas are divided into nine prefectures and thirty-six prefectures, and each prefecture governs several to a dozen different cities. As for the towns and villages, there are countless. Fengcheng is the largest city in Quanzhou and the state city of Quanzhou. Even in the entire Kaiyuan Mansion, it can be ranked among the top five. The Jin family is one of the wealthy families in Quanzhou. They own a large number of fields and manors outside the city, and are also engaged in the sale of some medicinal herbs and ores. Their influence can almost affect a small part of Quanzhou. All this was learned by Shi Mu from the old man in blue. At this time, he already knew that the old man was called Jin Cheng, and he was a foreign affairs steward of the Jin family. He seemed to have a certain status among the Jin family's servants. At least the few Jin family knights all respected him very much. A group of people walked on the road for about a month, and after passing through two cities in a row, they finally arrived at Fengcheng, and went directly through the city gate to the northwest corner of the city. Shi Mu sat at the window of the carriage, looking at both sides of the street non-stop. He grew up in a fishing village since he was a child, and he has hardly traveled far. The largest city he has been to before is the nearby county seat. Fengcheng is worthy of being the middle of Quanzhou. Although the city in front of him is extremely prosperous, his heart is surprisingly calm, without much fluctuation. In the largest city, the streets are lined with tall buildings of all kinds, and the pedestrians on both sides of the road are bustling with people, looking very lively. Although the city in front of him is huge and lively, Shi Mu's heart is surprisingly calm, without the slightest fluctuation. With the group of people slowing down, the carriage traveled for half an hour before stopping in front of an inconspicuous house. Shi Mu jumped out of the carriage, looked at the white flag raised on the side of the gate, his face changed slightly, and then followed the old man in blue into the gate, while several knights remained obediently near the carriage. After a while, Shi Mu saw a woman in full body and a girl in her teens in the memorial hall decorated with white cloth. The woman was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and she was graceful and elegant. When she saw Shi Mu, she said in an unquestionable tone: "You are late, your father passed away a few days ago. I don't know, what do you say to your father? What do you think, but you are his own flesh and blood after all, come here to worship first. Other things, we will talk about it later!" The eyes of the girl next to him were a little red and swollen, but she still looked curiously at the elder brother who had never met. Shi Mu looked at the black coffin placed in the middle of the hall with a complex expression. Seeing this, the plain woman didn't intend to urge her. The old man in green shirt took this opportunity to step forward a few steps, walked up to the woman and said something in a low voice, then retreated silently. After a while, Shi Mu finally moved his feet, walked slowly to the coffin, and said calmly: "Open the lid, I want to see him for the last time." Twice. Immediately, two big men came out from both sides of the hall, and they pushed the coffin lid open, revealing a man lying quietly inside. He got up, and after a while, he took out a seemingly ordinary bronze mirror from his waist, and silently placed it next to the man's body. "This is..." The plain woman frowned slightly. ""I don't know what my father's difficulties are, he will abandon our mother and son for many years and never return, but my mother had a last wish before she died, hoping to bury this relic with my father. Shi Mu said slowly, turned around and put a stick of incense in the censer in front of the coffin, then kowtowed three times on the ground with "bang", "bang" and "bang". , but nothing stopped Shi Mu from standing up again, staring at the coffin in a daze and becoming silent. At this time, the woman waved her hand, and the two big men closed the lid of the coffin again. "Come with me, this is not talking The place. Your father asked me to tell you something before he was alive. After the woman said something, she led the girl to the side hall. Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and followed without saying anything. coming. I don't ask you to call me 'mother' either. If you want, you can call me 'Aunt Zhen'. This is your half-sister 'Yuhuan'. Yuhuan, come here to see your brother. When the onyx woman came to the side hall, she immediately turned around and said. "I've seen Brother Mu." Shi Yuhuan has big eyes and curved brows, a straight nose and a small mouth. When the eyes roll around, it gives people a very weird and cute feeling. Hearing his mother's words, he immediately called out obediently, with a clear and sweet voice. Shi Mu nodded at the girl, barely revealing a smile. "Although your father is from the Jin family, he also made a copy of it, including the manor outside the city. As the eldest son of his family property, you will naturally inherit it all. Yuhuan and I only need this house in the city. After all, I'm from the Jin family, so I don't need this kind of money. In addition, your father once made great contributions to the Jin family, which is also the reason for his untimely death. He has never used this credit. With that being said, I can now give you two options. The woman paused when she said this. Shi Mu looked at the woman, and couldn't help but be very surprised. "One is like what Manager Cheng said, I can use this credit to directly exchange for you a Qiling Pill from the Jin family." , so that you have the opportunity to enter Kaiyuan Wuyuan in the future. The second is that you can borrow the power of the Jin family to obtain a low-level title for you in Daqi, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing from now on, and you can even honor your descendants.

The woman stared at the young man and continued to speak seriously. "The title of real power?" "Shi Mu frowned when he heard this..." Not bad. The titles of Daqi are divided into Gong, Hou, Zi, Nan, and Xun, each of which corresponds to a corresponding identity and power. Not to mention the high ones, with this credit and the power of our Jin family, there is no problem with being a lord, and you can also obtain a certain official position for you in the future. The woman explained a few words. "No, I want Qi Ling Pill!" After hearing this, Shi Mu said without hesitation. "You'd better think clearly before making a decision. If I were you, I would choose the latter." After hearing this, the woman said with a strange look on her face. "What do you mean by that?" "The young man vaguely heard something." How much do you know about comprehending Qi sense and warriors? "The woman asked back. "According to Aunt Zhen's tone, could it be that you are also a warrior?" "Shi Mu was stunned for a moment, then asked slowly. This time, the woman didn't answer anything, but after a sway, she suddenly appeared in front of a wall. With a lift of her arm, a gold-inlaid decorative handle appeared on the wall. The long sword was in his hand immediately. There was a loud "chi" and "chi", the long sword waved in the woman's hand, and heavy sword shadows appeared around her body. Because a flash of shock disappeared into the wall, leaving only the hilt of the sword trembling slightly. This scene left Shi Mu stunned! "Don't look at me like this, I am actually one of the three great acquired martial artists of the Jin family Otherwise, why would you want a spirit pill from the Jin family? After all, Qi Ling Pill is worth tens of thousands of gold, and there is often no market for it. And when the lamp is dead, even if your father made great contributions during his lifetime, in the eyes of some members of the Jin family, it is not worth paying for such a precious elixir. This is one of the reasons why I advise you to give up. After all, if you want Qi Ling Pill, some people in the Jin family will definitely be dissatisfied. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever. "" No matter what difficulties, I must become a real warrior. "Shi Mu replied without thinking. "Since you are determined to do this, then I won't persuade you any more. Let me talk about the division of warrior realms that you know. "Aunt Zhen sighed, and said so." Aren't warriors divided into tempered body warriors, formal warriors and country protector warriors? It is said that once you become the most powerful national protector, you can be on an equal footing even against princes and ministers! "Shi Mu said. "You all learned about these things from the martial arts gym in the town, so it's not wrong to call them like that!" However, those instructors in the martial arts hall, I am afraid that they have just entered the postnatal period, so how can they tell you ordinary disciples the real division of the martial artist realm. "Aunt Zhen showed such a look." I hope Aunt Zhen will give advice! "Body quenching, the titles of official warriors and country protectors, are actually just common people's sayings." The real name of the martial artist realm in the entire Dongzhou continent should be warrior apprentice, acquired warrior, and innate warrior. In other words, they correspond to the titles of Body Tempering, Formal Warrior and Nation Protector respectively. At the stage of martial arts, anyone can practice the method of tempering the body, but those with inferior roots may have no hope of achieving great success in their entire life. Acquired warriors are warriors who can cultivate true qi after comprehending the sense of qi. At this time, with the help of true qi, even in the face of fully armed soldiers, warriors can often defeat a hundred with one enemy, and they are already real warriors in the ordinary population. As for innate warriors, those who have reached a certain level of true qi can give birth to innate true qi in their bodies after successfully opening up a Qi outlet in the dantian. Innate warriors are the real martial arts powerhouses! If it is said that a dozen martial disciples who have achieved great body tempering can kill the acquired warriors together, then even if hundreds of acquired warriors join forces, they will often be unable to do anything to the innate warriors. Because at the level of a congenital martial artist, one can already leave the body with true energy and kill people from a distance. Under normal circumstances, acquired martial artists can't get close at all. But entering the innate difficulty is not something ordinary people can imagine. As far as I know, there are no more than seven or eight innate warriors in the entire Great Qi Kingdom. Aunt Zhen explained to the young man carefully. "There are so few innate warriors?" "Shi Mu was really surprised.
