Chapter 194: The Eastern King's Treasure, Breakthrough

The carriage moved forward slowly on the official road.

This place is already forty or fifty miles away from Dancing Elephant City, but the sun has just risen above the head, which shows that they left early.

In fact, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Ya quietly left Wuxiang City with Zui'er and senior sister Meng Shiwen before dawn.

Nothing else.

The people of Wuxiang City are really too enthusiastic.

Because most people were saved because of Zhao Ya, these people were simply grateful to Zhao Ya.

Although Wuxiang City's vitality was severely damaged after experiencing this turmoil, Zhao Ya still received gifts from all parties every day.

Although it may only be a basket of eggs or a piece of bacon, it also expresses the feelings of these people.

Zhao Ya had no choice but to accept this, but when he left today, he quietly kept these gifts.

He didn't want to trouble these people anymore, so he chose to leave secretly.

At this moment, Zhao Ya looked back at the direction of Wuxiang City, feeling a little sad.

You know, Wuxiang City should be regarded as his second hometown in a sense.

But now there is no place worthy of nostalgia in this city.

After all, the master is dead, the escort agency is disbanded, and even the Song family has fled to another country.

But somehow, when leaving, Zhao Ya still felt a little sad.

Maybe, this is saying goodbye to my past.

Because he set off too early, after getting on the carriage, Zui'er fell asleep again.

Meng Shiwen didn't sleep.

She lifted the car curtain, came to the carriage shaft, and sat side by side with Zhao Ya.

"Unhappy?" Meng Shiwen asked.

She was very keenly aware that Zhao Ya's mood seemed to be a little low.

"No, I just feel that after leaving this time, I won't come back for a long time." Zhao Ya said softly.

Meng Shiwen looked at the depressed young man in front of her and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, I just think you look very... very cute!" Meng Shiwen thought for a long time and finally came to such a conclusion.

Zhao Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What the hell is cute?

Meng Shiwen explained with a smile: "How should I put it? Before you, you always seemed to be strategizing and wise. In that state, it was easy for people to ignore your age. Sometimes I even felt that you should be my senior brother. That’s right.”

"But your frowning, slightly sad look just now made you real. This is what a teenager under twenty years old should be like."

Zhao Ya blushed when he was told that.

If someone praised him for being smart, Zhao Ya could accept it, but this was his first time being praised for being cute, so Zhao Ya became shy for the first time.

But the more he behaved like this, the brighter the smile on Meng Shiwen's face became, and the brighter her eyes became.

It was like a little girl seeing a new toy.

"Senior sister, do you want a hug?" Meng Shiwen suddenly asked.

When Zhao Ya saw this, he couldn't help but feel narrow-minded, and then he smiled and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

His original intention was to tease Meng Shiwen, but he never expected that when he stretched out his hand, Meng Shiwen did not refuse, but hugged him very naturally.

The striking softness and the woman's body fragrance made Zhao Ya freeze instantly.

Then Meng Shiwen said something very softly in Zhao Ya's ear.

"Feeling better?"

Zhao Ya quickly sat up straight, took a deep breath and said, "Well, it's much better."

In fact, Zhao Ya was just slightly sad just now, it was nothing serious at all.

But Meng Shiwen obviously took it seriously.

After this hug, both of them fell silent.

Until a moment later, the two people looked at each other and smiled.

The vague feeling of alienation that had always lingered between the two completely disappeared, replaced by a warm tacit understanding.

"To be honest, when Hong Xu came to see you with Yang Sansi two days ago, I really thought you would kill them both," Meng Shiwen said.

"Am I that bloodthirsty?"

"At least not that tolerant." Meng Shiwen thought for a long time and made a conclusion.

"Actually, it's not that I'm intolerant. I'm just more clear-cut about the right and wrong of grudges than others. After all, you have to admit it when you do something wrong, and you have to stand upright when you're beaten. This is an unbreakable truth everywhere. As for Hong Xu and Then Yang Sansi..."

"It was the Hong family who killed my master, and the Yang family had nothing to do with it. As for the subsequent siege of the Song family, the Yang family did not gain much. In addition, he was old and was infected with a highly toxic poison. , he can’t live for more than a few days, so I’m too lazy to kill him.”

"Although Hong Xu is from the Hong family, he has never done any evil. His reputation in Dancing Elephant City was pretty good back then. This time he saw the opportunity quickly and knelt down very thoroughly, so I will spare him once." A piece of cake."

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Meng Shiwen nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Okay, senior sister, everything is over. We have to rush on our way, otherwise we won't be able to return to the county before the Chinese New Year."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya waved his whip, and the two horses pulling the cart quickened their pace and ran quickly towards the county town.

It was now the twelfth lunar month, and despite a winter without snow, the weather was surprisingly cold.

Especially in the wilderness at night, it can freeze people to death.

Fortunately, after a day of running around, Zhao Ya successfully found an abandoned land temple.

Although the small temple was not big, it was enough to live in.

He cleaned the hall a little and then started a fire.

The temperature of the flame quickly dispelled the cold in the hall.

Although he was in the wild, Zui'er still took out a pot like a magician and processed the dry food he brought with him.

After eating the hot meat pie and drinking two sips of the hot wine, the whole person instantly warmed up.

After eating, Zui'er and Meng Shiwen went to bed early.

After the bumpy road, even Meng Shiwen, who was skilled in martial arts, felt a little tired, so she fell asleep soon.

Zhao Ya moved the fire to the door of the hall, and while keeping watch at night, he counted the gains during this period.

When I was in Wuxiang City before, I had too many things to do, so I had no free time. Now that I finally have time, I naturally have to take a good inventory.

He took out the bulging deerskin bag, and then took out the things inside one by one, and soon they filled the ground.

These things came from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and other village owners in Qingzhuling, and also from the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, Ghost Snake Gu Master and other people from the Lianshi Sect.

After taking them out, you can clearly see the difference.

Most of the things found from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and others were cultivation resources such as gold notes and dried meat.

And the things found from the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others were basically bottles and jars.

Needless to say, most of them were filled with poisons.

Zhao Ya came to the outside of the temple very cautiously, and then found a place sheltered from the wind, opened these bottles one by one, and identified what type of poisons they contained and what effects they could play.

Although Zhao Ya's attainments in poisons are not superb now, at least it is no problem to distinguish these poisons.

Especially since he has the talent of being immune to all poisons, this gives Zhao Ya a great advantage.

Soon, Zhao Ya identified these poisons one by one.

Most of them are extremely poisonous things that kill people instantly, which also gave Zhao Ya a more intuitive understanding of the level of poison use of Lian Shizong.

That is, some aspects are amazing, but most of them are extremely mediocre.

Because it is different from the understanding of poison by ordinary people.

The higher the level of poison, the less toxic it is.

The real high-level poisons are often outstanding for their concealment and difficulty.

The so-called concealment, as the name suggests, is colorless and tasteless, making it difficult to detect.

Otherwise, if you take out the poison, the smell can be smelled from three miles away, then who would easily take the bait?

As for the difficulty, it means that after being poisoned, it is not easy to relieve, and some can be said to be incurable, and even the fifth-level warriors are hard to escape.

This is the characteristic of high-level poisons.

As for these poisons that kill people instantly and attack very quickly, they are not highly evaluated.

Because this kind of poison often only works on ordinary people or low-level warriors, and it is difficult to work on warriors above the fourth level.

In addition, the rapid onset will lead to its exposure too quickly, so these poisons are all inferior.

But there are also some amazing poisons.

For example, the poison in one of the green bottles is a brand new poison.

Its toxicity is similar to that of the plague, and it is even contagious.

Zhao Ya understands that this should be the culprit that caused the death of half of the people in Wuxiang City.

For this reason, Zhao Ya specially took out a candle, melted it, and then carefully sealed the entire bottle with wax oil, and packed it separately in a small bag to completely eliminate the possibility of leakage.

In addition, there are things found from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and others.

Zhao Ya also carefully checked all these things, but the results were a bit disappointing.

Because apart from tens of thousands of taels of gold notes and some dried meat of exotic beasts, there was nothing surprising.

As for secret books and other things, none of them were found.

Zhao Ya sighed slightly, and also understood that this was actually the norm.

After all, when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, his martial arts have basically been fixed and formed. At this time, the secret book is no longer useful, so few people will carry this thing with them.

As for the last time he got the Golden Body Art from Ma Ling, the sixth leader of Qingzhuling, it was purely accidental!

Because Ma Ling had not obtained the Golden Body Art for a long time at that time, and had not yet started practicing, so he carried it with him.

Zhao Ya packed the gold bills and dried meat in different categories, and then took out a small bag with great care.

It contained the things he had searched from Fu Tingyuan.

Zhao Ya was full of expectations for this.

Because Fu Tingyuan should be the first warrior who had killed half a step to the fifth level independently.

In addition, he was the leader of Qingzhuling.

So the things he could carry with him must be very precious.

But when the small bag was opened, Zhao Ya was stunned.

Because in addition to some gold bills, the most eye-catching thing was a sachet.

This sachet is of ordinary workmanship, but Fu Tingyuan carries it with him and keeps it very well, which shows how much he cherishes it.

But Zhao Ya looked at the sachet over and over again, but found nothing.

Could it be an ordinary sachet?

Zhao Ya frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple.

Suddenly.

He thought of something, picked up the sachet, held it flat in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully in the firelight.

Sure enough.

Under the light of the fire, he found that the embroidery on the surface of the sachet seemed to be a little bulging.

Zhao Ya immediately pulled out the dagger, carefully cut the thread, and disassembled it bit by bit.

When the embroidery on the sachet was completely disassembled, a light gray paper was revealed inside.

When he opened it, Zhao Ya's eyes lit up.

Because this was actually a treasure map.

I saw a map drawn with delicate strokes on it, and the location of the treasure was marked in it.

At the same time, there were four small words at the top of the picture.

"Eastern King's Treasure"

Eastern King?

I haven't heard of the Eastern King in Dayan?

Although I don't know why, since it was hidden so carefully by Fu Tingyuan, it can be seen that this treasure map is by no means ordinary.

But after Zhao Ya carefully observed it, his doubts did not decrease, but increased.

Because the terrain depicted on this treasure map is very unfamiliar, at least Zhao Ya has never seen it before.

It can be concluded that the treasure map does not record the area around Wuxiang City.

Where exactly is it?

You should know that Dayan has a vast territory and countless mountains. If you don't know the exact location, you can't find it even if you work yourself to death.

No wonder Fu Tingyuan just kept the treasure map by his side, but never looked for it.

I guess he was also blocked by this problem.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he kept the treasure map close to him.

In any case, this is at least a gain.

As for the specific location, we will slowly look for it later.

After counting the gains, Zhao Ya started boxing in the open space outside the temple, which was considered today's homework.

After practicing, Zhao Ya habitually opened the attribute panel.

Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 19 years old. Remaining life span: 399 (+92 days) years

Skills: Eight-part Vajra Longevity Skill (64% of the peak)

Five Tiger Fists (15% of the return to the original state)

Wild Wind Sword Skill (18% of the return to the original state)

Light as a swallow (1% of the return to the original state)

Breath Containment Technique (99% of the peak)

Big Stone Smashing Hand (8% of the peak)

Big Vajra Fist (11% of the peak)

Golden Body Technique (1% of the peak)

Small Five-way Soul Chasing Leg (112/2000 of Mastery)

[Lung Unlock Progress: 28%]

Light as a swallow has indeed reached the state of returning to the original state, and the remaining life span is only a little short of breaking through the 400 mark.

However, there is still some time before the real marrow cleansing is successful and the fifth realm is advanced.

But this is not a matter of urgency. After all, it has only been a short time since I was promoted to the half-step fifth realm. If I can break through so easily, then the fifth realm is too worthless.

Even Zhao Ya didn't want to break through so quickly, because he heard from his master Lu Dingtai that in those sects with a long history, the true genius disciples often use the breakthrough primer when breaking through the fifth realm.

Such a breakthrough to the fifth realm will be more powerful than the ordinary fifth realm, and can even lay a solid foundation for the breakthrough and opening of meridians in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but take something out of his arms.

It was two gray beads, one was slightly larger, and the other was smaller, but it contained a trace of strange brilliance.

This was what Zhao Ya got from the baboon and the devil kid.

And this should be the best breakthrough primer.

But how to use this thing?

Since getting it, Zhao Ya has played with it more than once, and even tried it several times, but the results were all in vain.

Even when he asked his master, his master didn't know how to use it.

Could it be that he really had to go to those big sects to find a way?

Sorry, I was delayed today by something, so there is only one update for now. I will make up for it with three updates tomorrow!
