Chapter 165: Back to Ziyang

Zhang Xing walked in front of Wu Feng and also knelt down directly.

"The words of the master are like an empowerment to the younger generation, so that the younger generation can find the way forward in the lost, and the younger generation thanks the master for the grace of reconstruction!"

Zhang Xing's attitude is more heartfelt than Zhang Long.

Although Zhang Long felt from Wu Feng's words, as the lord of a city, in order to reach the peak of the true martial realm, he had already had his own deep-rooted thoughts, if it were not for Wu Feng's alchemy skills, he regarded him as a god, he would not be able to listen to what Wu Feng said, even if he listened to it, how deep the feeling was, he had not yet been able to reach a conclusion.

And Zhang Xing is different, just as Wu Feng judged him, Zhang Xing's cultivation is too smooth, everything is arranged by his father, and he has never thought of something deeper. In this way, his ideas are also simple, and he is more influenced by Wu Feng's words.

"In this way, you have come to your senses, then tell me what you think, why do you cultivate martial arts?" Wu Feng asked profoundly, this is the demeanor he must maintain in front of the city lord and the fat man shopkeeper.

"In my past life, my martial arts cultivation was just a habit, and I cultivated martial arts for the sake of martial arts, without any purpose. And now, I am still cultivating martial arts for the sake of cultivating martial arts, but I am also cultivating martial arts for the sake of cultivating martial arts, and the meaning of my thoughts is very different from my previous thoughts. In the past, I took it for granted that cultivating martial arts was what I should do, but now I am cultivating martial arts for the sake of a higher level of martial arts. Zhang Xing's tone was very flat and serious, without the excitement of grandiose words, but from the heart.

"Yes, your state of mind has changed! Stronger strength has become your pursuit, this is a very simple idea, but it is the most suitable state of mind for cultivating martial arts!" After Wu Feng admired, the words changed again.

"However, how far is the martial road, where does the martial road end, or where does it lead? All this is unknown, and cultivating martial arts for the sake of cultivating martial arts may be a road of no return! A road of no return with no end, no end, no hope; a lonely road of no return, no colleagues, no friends; do you dare to take such a road of martial arts cultivation?"

In fact, what Wu Feng asked Zhang Xing was also what he often asked, and he himself was sometimes confused and couldn't find the result.

"The higher realm of martial arts is the direction in which I keep moving forward, I don't care where I can go, as long as I have a clear conscience!" Zhang Xing replied firmly.

"As long as you are firm in the direction, no matter where you go, just ask for a clear conscience" Wu Feng's heart was touched, Zhang Xing's words were very simple and simple, but they pointed straight to his heart, and the most rare thing was to only ask for a clear conscience.

This is the state of mind that Wu Feng has always been unable to achieve. The more he knows the realm of martial arts, the higher his ambition will be, in order to avenge his master, he must have a clear goal, and the road ahead of the heavenly cultivation of martial arts is rugged and unpredictable, all of which prompt Wu Feng to force himself forward, less casual, less free and natural.

Zhang Xing naturally didn't know what Wu Feng was thinking in his heart. Although what he said was his truest thoughts, he also cared about Wu Feng's evaluation.

Fortunately, Wu Feng didn't groan for too long, so he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Xing: "Firm direction, clear conscience! I hope you can always remember what you said today!"

"Your answer is very satisfactory, you have passed the first level of the old man's assessment, as long as your conduct and qualifications can satisfy the old man, the old man will introduce you to become a master of alchemy, I wonder if you are willing to learn the art of alchemy?"

"Can the juniors learn the art of alchemy?" Zhang Xing was pleasantly surprised, and said again and again: "Yes, the juniors are naturally willing!"

Then he asked, "That alchemy master, is there a senior who is so powerful, can I worship my predecessor as a teacher?"

"That alchemy master is more powerful than the old man, if you can worship him as a teacher, it is enough to change the fate of your life! As for the old man, there is no idea of accepting apprentices yet, but it is not so easy to worship that master as a teacher, don't be too happy!"

"Huh?" Wu Feng's words made Zhang Xing disappointed for a while, and he hurriedly asked, "What should the junior do to worship that alchemy master as a teacher?"

"For the time being, you don't have to do anything, the old man will ask people to investigate your deeds, whether it is the master or the old man himself, the first thing to accept disciples is conduct, and then the cultivation qualifications. If you are satisfied with your conduct, the old man will arrange the rest for you. Wu Feng said lightly.

"That's good, the juniors are confident, and they will definitely satisfy the seniors!" Zhang Xing replied confidently.

The reason why Wu Feng said the assessment criteria in person was also to see Zhang Xing's first reaction, and then secretly investigate. Needless to say, Zhang Xing's first reaction made Wu Feng very satisfied.

When Wu Feng asked Zhang Xing, the city advocate dragon and the fat man shopkeeper didn't dare to interject on the side, and they humbly made a listening gesture. Wu Feng didn't mind hanging the two of them to the side, as long as his superior demeanor was not exposed, he wouldn't have the slightest worry.

The matter is almost over, Wu Feng also spoke directly, and said: "The matter of alchemy here is over, the old man will leave first, and wait for the city lord to break through, and the old man will come to take the dragon heart vine!"

"Why don't the seniors stay in the City Lord's Mansion temporarily, and Zhang can thank the seniors for their kindness!" The city lord said, hoping that Wu Feng would stay in the City Lord's Mansion, whether it was for friendship or other things, it would be much more convenient.

"No, the old man doesn't like to associate with strangers except for alchemy!" Wu Feng said this very unkindly, and the city lord and the fat shopkeeper were both classified as strangers by him.

But he didn't forget to remind him, and continued: "I hope that the city lord will adjust his state, and he will break through the retreat as soon as possible, and the old man will wait for the dragon heart vine!"

Wu Feng naturally won't stay, not to mention that he is too tired to pretend to be too tired, and he is also worried about revealing any flaws, he doesn't want to expose himself for the time being

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he also didn't find anyone following him, and Wu Feng could also be sure that he didn't show any flaws in front of the City Lord and the fat man's shopkeeper, so they naturally had no courage to send someone to investigate him.

After removing the disguise, Wu Feng also began to investigate the situation of Zhang Xing, the son of the city lord. In Xijiang City, Wu Feng is alone, no matter what he does, he needs to do it himself.

Through investigation, as the son of the city lord and the leader of the younger generation in Xijiang City, Zhang Xing did not have the slightest evil trace. But Zhang Xing's personality is actually a bit withdrawn, and he doesn't have a close relationship with the younger generation in the same city.

However, Zhang Xing, as the son of the city lord, is still an extremely humble person. Whether it was the guards of the City Lord's Mansion or the warriors who met outside, he was not domineering, and he was generally an equal.

Through Wu Feng's analysis, it was found that the reasons for this all came from his father city, the dragon.

As Zhang Long himself said, in order to change his destiny by cultivating martial arts, he has been pursuing stronger strength all his life. It wasn't until he cultivated to reach the sixth layer of the True Martial Realm and cultivated to break the Spirit Martial in the distance that he married a wife at the age of seventy and gave birth to a son who was Zhang Xing.

Since the beginning of Zhang Xing's cultivation, he has shown extremely high qualifications, and Zhang Long naturally has high hopes, so the requirements for Zhang Xing are also more stringent, which also restricts Zhang Xing's free time for activities and play.

In addition, Zhang Xing lost his mother when he was young, and his personality was already a little withdrawn, so he had less interaction with people. It can be said that in addition to cultivation and training in the mountains, Zhang Xing basically rarely interacted with other martial artists, and his personality was most influenced by his father.

Zhang Long is tactful, and Zhang Xing also sees it in his eyes, but the young man who has never been in the world does not understand the key very well, but he has learned a kind of humble attitude.

Zhang Longnai was born in an ordinary family, and he was almost obsessed with madness in the pursuit of strength in cultivating martial arts. But also because he was born in an ordinary family, although he was in a high position as the city lord, he was a relatively close to the people, and his praise in Xijiang City far exceeded his notoriety.

As for a little notoriety, it is inevitable in the world of martial artists, not to mention that Zhang Long, as a city lord, sometimes uses power to seek some personal gains, which is also a normal thing.

No one is perfect, as long as he is not a great traitor, Wu Feng doesn't care too much.

In this way, Zhang Xing naturally passed the assessment of his character.

But Wu Feng did not immediately come to the door to find Zhang Xing, but waited for Zhang Long to break through, firstly, it was nothing important to find Zhang Xing now, and secondly, he wanted to sharpen Zhang Xing's patience.

Twenty days later, Xijiang City advocated the dragon, successfully broke through to the realm of Lingwu, and issued a general order to the whole city.

On the second day, Wu Feng went to the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Long found that after breaking through the Lingwu Realm, he still couldn't see through Wu Feng's cultivation. He looked like an ordinary person before, but now he is at most the second or third layer of the Primal Martial Realm, but how can Zhang Long believe that the senior master who refined the third-level pill will be a person whose cultivation is lower than him.

When Wu Feng came to the door, Zhang Long regarded him as a god, leaving behind all the people who congratulated him, and still carried out the gift of the younger generation, and warmly entertained Wu Feng.

But Wu Feng, as always, did not have the slightest appreciation, and took the entire dragon heart vine as it should be, and then sent the city lord away, and called Zhang Xing alone.

After explaining some things to Zhang Xing, Wu Feng did not take it with him, but wrote a secret letter, asking Zhang Xing to take him to the martial arts family on Shiya Island, and after seeing Wu Zhen, the head of the Wu family, he naturally knew the next arrangement.

Letting Zhang Xing go to the martial arts family naturally hopes to test his specific attribute qualifications with the help of the measuring ruler, and then decide to teach his alchemy to what extent. If you inherit Ling Danchen's cultivation technique "Nine Turns Dan Yuan Gong", you can require extremely high fire attribute qualifications.

After Zhang Xing tested his qualifications, Wu Feng also made arrangements, that is, to let him go to the capital of Nanming Kingdom to find Li Hu, who was inquiring about the intelligence of the Nanming royal family.

In any case, going to the royal family of the Southern Ming Kingdom and avenging the killing of his mother was the last stop for Wu Feng before leaving the Northeast Regions

Half a month later, Wu Feng rushed to the capital of Dongchen Kingdom, outside Ziyang City.

Wu Feng's trip came to fulfill his promise to Elder Xu of Dongyang Sect.

"Although a month and a half have passed, the temptation of the 'Divine Sword' is really huge, and there are still many people along the way who have probed my traces, this Dongyang Sect can't go directly, it's best to find out Xu Lao" Wu Feng secretly planned what to do, in the current situation, Wu Feng didn't dare to go to Dongyang Sect rashly, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he didn't want to bring trouble to Xu Lao, Tie Yulong, Qin Yang and others.

After entering the city, Wu Feng had been thinking about countermeasures, and was walking on the street when he suddenly saw the signboard of a dart game, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart
