He had actually already unlocked ten ridians, but after so thought, he decided it was better to say seven.
"Azure Ancient Juice?"
"Seven ridians?!"
Xiang Yue’s eyes shook slightly as he stared at Chu Ming in disbelief.
"You, kid, have not only an amazing talent but also a deep fate, acquiring treasures like Azure Ancient Juice that can cleanse and refine the marrow."
"With seven ridians unlocked, aided by Silver Moon Equipnt and Red Qilin Gloves, it’s indeed possible to slay Kuirong Zhi’s Rong Si."
As Xiang Yue spoke, a grey light flitted across his palm, and then a pair of silver-patterned boots appeared.
Upon seeing the boots, Chu Ming’s eyes imdiately brightened.
"Hehe, Silver Moon Battle Boots; the defensive power is good, and they can also enhance speed and agility."
Xiang Yue pushed the boots toward Chu Ming’s side, smiling as he said, "The Kuirong Zhi handed these over to save their young Horde Lord’s life."
"Thank you, Master." Chu Ming did not decline, bowing and accepting the battle boots.
"You might not even realize what a great rit you have achieved, do you?" After taking out the Silver Moon Battle Boots, Xiang Yue’s complexion visibly improved.
"At that ti, General Rong Dang of the Kuirong Zhi led an army of two hundred thousand to besiege Yangjia City. Even if the Tiger Armor Army could hold the city, they would suffer heavy losses."
"But when Rong Dang learned that their young Horde Lord was in my hands, he imdiately ordered a retreat, relinquishing Yangjia City."
"Subsequently, he sent people to negotiate, and I took the opportunity to gain so benefits."
While describing this, Xiang Yue looked at Chu Ming expectantly.
"Three treasures; Silver Moon Battle Boots are just one of them, along with a thousand Wild Bull Warhorses from Kuirong Zhi and three thousand sets of Wild Bull Armor..."
What?!
Chu Ming was startled upon hearing "three thousand sets of Wild Bull Armor."
He recalled the dicine Maniac ntioning in the afternoon about three thousand sets of Threads of Nourishing Essence and Red Light Treasure Water being secretly transported to Pingzhong County from Baiyun Pier.
Both are three thousand...
"Master," Chu Ming interjected to speak.
"What is it?"
"Three thousand sets of Wild Bull Armor?"
"Yes, three thousand sets, enough to make about a thousand sets of Strong Bone Realm Armor and two thousand sets of Blood Circulation Realm...," Xiang Yue replied, puzzled. "Is there a problem?"
Chu Ming pondered for a mont, then said, "Master, two days ago, the Blood Evil Sect secretly transported about three thousand sets of Threads of Nourishing Essence and Red Light Treasure Water to Pingzhong County."
"About three thousand sets of Threads of Nourishing Essence and Red Light Treasure Water?" Xiang Yue’s expression changed upon hearing this.
The lake waters gently rippled.
Both n furrowed their brows in contemplation.
Both are three thousand, both are materials for making armor.
Three thousand sets of Wild Bull Armor in Yangjia City, while Threads of Nourishing Essence and Red Light Treasure Water are sent to Pingzhong County.
The two places are far apart; what connection could there be?
"Maybe it’s just a coincidence," Xiang Yue said in a low voice.
A coincidence?
On the surface, it indeed seems like a coincidence, but what if the two were combined?
Wild Bull Armor... Threads of Nourishing Essence... Red Light Treasure Water...
Illegal armor crafting!
Chu Ming felt a shock in his heart.
Could it be soone trying to fra Master?
But if that’s the case, the three thousand sets of Threads of Nourishing Essence and Red Light Treasure Water shouldn’t be transported to Pingzhong County but secretly delivered to the Tiger Armor Army instead.
"Master, those two people at the dinner..." Chu Ming recalled the earlier two n in General Armor.
"Yu Sheng, Wei Bang, the two generals of the Qin Capital Imperial Forbidden Army at the ridian Unlocking Realm Middle Stage, only obey orders from the Imperial Forbidden Army and His Majesty."
When ntioning these two, Xiang Yue’s expression turned cold, seemingly at odds with the Imperial Forbidden Army.
"Their purpose this ti is not only to deliver orders but also to take up station in Yangjia City."
"Station in Yangjia City?" Chu Ming’s eyes flickered.
Although Master didn’t say it directly, Chu Ming could discern it.
The so-called stationing isn’t to help the Tiger Armor Army fend off Kuirong Zhi’s attacks but to take over Yangjia City.
In other words, the battle rit earned by the Tiger Armor Army with their lives, the Imperial Forbidden Army wants a share, perhaps even the entire prize...
"Master, is this His Majesty’s intent?" Chu Ming asked.
Xiag Yue did not answer imdiately. After a mont of silence, his expression returned to normal: "You don’t need to ask about this; I know what to do."
As he spoke, he opened his hand and pushed an item forward.
Chu Ming looked down to see a red pendant-like object.
"Take this. Communicate with it using your Qi and blood. In tis of crisis, it can unleash protection against a strike from soone at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm."
Protection against a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm strike?!
Chu Ming’s eyes instantly focused.
"Master, this item is too precious; I cannot accept it..."
"Take it as I said."
Without giving Chu Ming a chance to finish, Xiang Yue directly placed the Red Pendant into Chu Ming’s hand, "I have an additional use for letting you have this."
Chu Ming looked at the Red Pendant, unsure of what to say.
Master was only at the Lower ridian Unlocking Realm, having only unlocked a few ridians.
For him, this pendant, capable of withstanding an attack from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, is probably a real lifesaver.
Such a treasure is actually given to ...
Xiag Yue stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and set his gaze on the gently rippling lake: "If anything happens to , take this Red Pendant to seek General Xiao Yu from the Eastern Expedition Army."
"Xiao Yu and I originate from the sa lineage, we’re like brothers, perhaps when I’m not around, he can protect you."
Having said this, Xiang Yue retracted his gaze, preparing to leave.
From the sa lineage? Brothers?
Chu Ming felt puzzled.
He knew about Master Xiang Yue’s background—having turned from literature to martial arts, relying on his astonishing talent to reach where he is today.
He had never heard of any ntion of a master-disciple relationship from him.
"Master."
Despite his confusion, Chu Ming hurriedly followed.
"Anything else?" Xiang Yue stopped in his tracks.
"Master," Chu Ming flipped his hand, taking out several items, "This is the latest cultivation technique I’ve deduced."
"Oh? You’ve perfected the Upper ridian Unlocking Realm?" Xiang Yue’s brows raised, and he opened the items to examine them.
Monts later, joy appeared on his face.
"Lower ridian Unlocking Realm, the Third ridian of the Eight Extraordinary ridians!"
"Good lad!"
This cultivation technique had been deduced to the point of unlocking the third ridian in the Lower ridian Unlocking Realm.
