"In the area of External Forging Technique, only the Iron Cloth Shirt has yet to be integrated. With its cultivation characteristic of tempering the physical body for enhancement, it can absolutely optimize the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to be even stronger.
Besides that, in terms of magic, I currently only have Entry Level proficiency in the Grudge Cleansing Technique that can be improved.
However, this magic is purely an auxiliary one, so there’s no rush.
In this way, there aren’t many things left to improve, only the Slash Blade Technique and Cloud Soaring Step haven’t reached the level of perfection.
As for the willow leaf saber technique, it similarly does not bring a significant improvement to my power, so for now, it can be overlooked..."
Bai Ziyue pondered for a moment before making his decision.
"Spending 2000 points of Soul Energy can integrate the Iron Cloth Shirt with the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill!"
"Integrate!"
"Spending 2000 points of Soul Energy can enhance the Slash Blade Technique to perfection!"
"Enhance!"
"Spending 2000 points of Soul Energy can enhance the Cloud Soaring Step to perfection!"
"Enhance!"
...
In an instant, various insights continually surfaced in his mind.
The new Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill not only improved his physical defense and physical power even further but also deepened his understanding of power.
He just stood there, and with the power surging, every part of his body where it contacted the air emitted a high-frequency vibrating sound.
"Every part of the body can exert power, this is the true state of perfection."
A trace of joy appeared in Bai Ziyue’s eyes.
Although his strength was already powerful, he previously couldn’t exert power so seamlessly.
There were always some parts of his body where the power couldn’t be transmitted, and these parts were like the weak points in a martial artist’s training, relatively weaker than other areas.
But with the integration of the Iron Cloth Shirt into the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, it immediately compensated for this shortcoming, achieving a state where every corner of his body could exert power without flaw or omission.
"With the Slash Blade Technique and Cloud Soaring Step reaching perfection, both my attack intensity and body speed have greatly improved. Perhaps even when facing some relatively ordinary Inner Cultivation Martial Artists, it might not be impossible to fight a battle."
Bai Ziyue gained a new understanding in his heart.
For Inner Cultivation Martial Artists like Zhang Bo, they were no longer his opponent at all, and even if he faced more advanced Inner Cultivation powerhouses, he was confident that even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t quickly fall into a disadvantage.
"Indeed, though Soul Energy is plentiful, it’s never enough."
Bai Ziyue glanced at the remaining amount of Soul Energy and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
...
In Right Guardian Zhao Jing’s secluded courtyard, Zhao Jing sat alone at the head, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the few people below, his expression giving nothing away.
"Guo Zhengyang."
"Disciple is here."
Guo Zhengyang responded in a nervous voice.
"Do you truly not know your senior brother’s whereabouts?"
Zhao Jing asked calmly.
A shiver ran through him. Following his master for several years, he naturally knew that the calmer his master’s voice was, the greater his anger.
Guo Zhengyang lowered his voice and said, "Disciple does not know."
He naturally did not want to be involved in this matter, because if anything went wrong, he himself would be implicated.
The master’s anger was hard to bear, but could the Sect Leader’s anger be any easier to bear?
"Liuu River, you speak up."
Zhao Jing said softly.
"Yes!"
A middle-aged man dressed in Law Enforcement Disciple attire responded and said, "According to our investigation, before Zhao Gangyi disappeared, he went to the homes of Inner Sect Disciple Wang Jian and Qinghe Pier’s Wharf Steward Zhang Bo.
According to their families, when Zhao Gangyi went, he brought generous gifts, totaling around eight hundred taels of silver.
A few days later, early in the morning, Wang Jian, Zhang Bo, and others immediately set out, coming back in less than an hour.
But three days ago, after they set out, they never returned.
Also, we discovered that before Zhao Gangyi went to give gifts, he met Junior Brother Guo, and it seems that the day before, Junior Brother Guo went to Jingxi Bank to withdraw three hundred taels of silver.
We’re not sure what it was for."
Guo Zhengyang immediately broke into a cold sweat.
"You still claim you don’t know?"
Zhao Jing’s tone was indifferent.
"Disciple... Disciple only knew that after Senior Brother Zhao was defeated by Bai Ziyue, he was always resentful. A few days ago, he asked to borrow some silver from me, saying he wanted to do something, but he didn’t tell me what exactly.
Master, you know me, I have a little cleverness, and I know Senior Brother Zhao always longed for the title of outstanding disciple, so I guessed vaguely. But I didn’t dare to get involved.
Who knew it wouldn’t be long before Senior Brother disappeared..."
Guo Zhengyang’s body trembled, and he quickly explained with a touch of fear.
"So, Zhao Gangyi was killed by that Bai Ziyue?"
Zhao Jing asked softly.
"Disciple does not know."
Guo Zhengyang said in a low voice.
"Haha, no matter what, my disciple is dead, it won’t be so easy to pass this over.
Go, bring that Bai Ziyue to me, I want to see what he has to say in front of me."
Zhao Jing said with a dark face.
"Yes!"
The Law Enforcement Disciple Liu River responded and immediately walked out.
Shortly after the Law Enforcement Disciple left, an elderly man who looked like a steward suddenly came over and respectfully said, "Master, a person named Li Yingru, calling himself the son of Li Zhao, has come to visit."
"Let him in."
Zhao Jing’s face changed slightly as he recalled, and he said in a deep voice.
Soon, a tall young man with star-like eyes walked in.
Obviously, he was Li Yingru.
"Junior Li Yingru greets Guardian Zhao."
Li Yingru slightly bowed and said with a smile.
"I didn’t expect that after a few years, the boy from before has become so tall and upright.
I wonder how Hall Master Li has been lately?"
Zhao Jing said with a smile on his face.
"My father is doing well."
Li Yingru responded and, seeing that Zhao Jing had no further words, quickly added, "Actually, the reason I came this time is to ask Uncle Zhao for a favor."
Zhao Jing naturally knew that the other party wouldn’t come without a reason. He asked with a calm expression, "What is it that even Hall Master Li couldn’t handle?"
"I know that each branch’s Sect Leader, Guardians, and Managers have the right to recommend disciples to compete for the title of Outstanding Disciple.
This time, I have come hoping that Uncle Zhao can help with a recommendation or two."
Li Yingru said.
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhengyang’s expression changed, and he became anxious.
Originally, with Zhao Gangyi missing, he naturally could gain the recommendation from his master. With careful planning, he had a chance to compete. But if the recommendation were to go to someone else, what would he do?
All his previous plans would be for nothing.
"The Outstanding Disciple Selection has a limited number of spots for each place, and it requires the participants to be disciples of the local branch.
If I remember correctly, you are not a disciple of our Qinghe Town branch.
Temporary membership is also not allowed; one must be a disciple here for more than a year."
Zhao Jing shook his head and said.
"I came fully prepared.
A year ago, I already recorded my disciple status with the Qinghe Town branch.
I meet the requirement perfectly.
Besides, other than Guardian Zhao, I also approached Managers Yin Zhixing, Liu Yanhong, and Guo Liang, and they all agreed to recommend me.
Initially, I didn’t want to trouble Uncle Zhao because I know Uncle Zhao has his favored disciple.
But I heard that recently, that disciple had some accidents... Of course, as a return favor, I know Uncle Zhao has always wanted to return to work at the Wujiang County headquarters of the Sunburst Gang. Recently, the Manager of the Shipping Department, Manager Xu, passed away, which seems like an opportunity."
"Can it really be done?"
Zhao Jing asked, clearly moved.
Don’t underestimate the position of Shipping Manager; it is very different from a Manager in Qinghe Town.
Even though he is a Guardian in Qinghe Town, in practice, both the benefits and power don’t compare to a manager in Wujiang County.
Just like Liu Dong, the Sect Leader of the Qinghe Town branch, who is on the same level as Li Zhao and Hall Master Li Yingru’s father in terms of position, but they greatly differ in status and power.
"It shouldn’t be a problem."
Li Yingru confidently said.
"Alright, I will be one of your recommending persons."
Zhao Jing said in a deep voice.
"Great, with the recommendation from Guardian Zhao and the other three Managers, I am now almost sure to succeed."
Li Yingru was overjoyed and very excited.
He knew that although the Elder valued talent and strength in the Outstanding Disciple Selection, having the support of most members of the Gang would also increase his chances of selection.
Besides, in terms of talent and strength, he wasn’t weak.
If not, his father wouldn’t have planned for him to compete for this opportunity a year ago.
Below, Guo Zhengyang, who had been listening all along, looked pale and lowered his head, revealing a trace of resentment in his eyes.
Thinking about all his careful plans, like inciting conflict between Zhao Gangyi and Bai Ziyue, although Zhao Gangyi died unexpectedly this time while ambushing Bai Ziyue, which surprised him, he at least thought he had a chance to compete for the Outstanding Disciple.
But now, suddenly, a seemingly unknown Li Yingru jumped out and directly snatched away his opportunity.
The son of Hall Master Li from Wujiang County?
Guo Zhengyang’s face became extremely bitter.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes seemed as laughable as castles in the air.
...
All Magical Artifacts have their spirituality.
So an Immortal Cultivator, wanting to use a Magical Artifact freely, must subdue its spirituality, making it absorb their aura in order to control it and fully exert its power.
At this moment, Bai Ziyue held a small golden knife, releasing his spiritual power, which flowed into the knife like a stream of water.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The knife trembled as if unwilling to be easily subdued.
But Bai Ziyue’s spiritual power was vastly stronger now and could extend nearly a meter outside his body, something the weak spirituality within the Golden Thread Saber couldn’t resist. Soon, the knife’s spirituality was tainted with his aura.
Instantly, the knife’s resistance weakened significantly.
Then, Bai Ziyue increased the invasion of his spiritual power, and soon, a connection formed between his spirit and the small golden knife.
