Chapter 29: Lao Deng, the gold coins exploded

The white-haired old soldier showed a helpless look and no longer cared about the long knife on his neck.

"How did you tell?"

Chu Wujiang pointed at his hair and said:

"First, the army hasn't been cleaned up yet, and it seems too deliberate for you to talk about your achievements."

"Secondly, the Champion Marquis was made a marquis at a young age, and the Hero Battalion has only been in existence for a few years. Where do these veterans come from?"

"third……"

Chu Wujiang was fighting on the battlefield just now and had no time to think about problems.

When the battle was over, considering the veterans that Huo Qiu Shui mentioned, there were so many flaws that they were countless.

The white-haired old soldier couldn't hold it any longer and interrupted on the spot:

"enough."

"This old man is indeed a spirit."

"Let's talk in the barracks. This knife can't threaten me."

As soon as the white-haired old soldier finished speaking, the battlefield disappeared, the smell of blood disappeared, and even Chu Wujiang's clothes and armor became clean.

It was as if the fighting on the battlefield just now was just an illusion.

Everything on the battlefield disappeared.

The surrounding area became an ordinary military camp.

Chu Wujiang took back the knife, as if the threat just now no longer existed, and said politely:

"What's your name, old man?"

The gray-haired veteran proudly declared:
"My surname is Qin, my given name is Wu, and I am one of the Marquis's ten personal guards."

Although Mr. Qin Wu has deep wrinkles, a head full of silver hair, and a deep scar on his chest, he looks very energetic and his eyes are sharp.

Chu Wujiang looked directly at him and could feel a kind of sharpness, the sharpness of surviving the battlefield of life and death.

The Champion Marquis is a powerful being at the level of the Yuanshen. When Mr. Qin was alive, he was probably several times stronger than the old butler.

Chu Wujiang became more polite:
“Mr. Qin, according to what Miss Huo said, you should appear directly, why do you want to evolve a real desert battlefield.”

"Such a change must be a big burden even for you."

Normal weapons don't have that much power.

Otherwise, the true disciples of the major sects and the children of nobles would have already undergone large-scale training in this way to accumulate experience in killing.

Qin Wu sat down on the chair and said in a loud voice:

"Yes, you are indeed a suitable and smart person."

"Under normal circumstances, I will only judge the quality of the talent and then give a technique. This will allow the Huo family to continuously send in resources."

Sure enough.

This old soldier was quite insidious, using his skills to cheat himself of food for hundreds of years.

Qin Wu's wrinkled face showed a hint of pride:
"Only a true genius is worthy of my efforts."

"In the battle in the desert, you did better than I expected."

Chu Wujiang understood why he was treated differently, but he was still a little confused:
"In terms of qualifications, the prince of the King of East Sea is stronger than me."

Although Di Guangzhu is a bootlicker.

But his aptitude in martial arts should not be underestimated. If converted into luck, it is at least purple quality, which is higher than everything Chu Wujiang currently possesses.

Qin Wu snorted coldly:
"He didn't answer that question correctly."

"The Marquis once said that seeds are born naturally."

"A true general must make the right choice at the critical moment."

"The Marquis's inheritance must be passed on to the most suitable young talent!"

What is the right choice?

It’s like in the Battle of Waterloo, if Grouchy had arrived in time, he would have become a famous general instead of a laughing stock in history.

The choice made at this moment determines the fate of history.

So you chose me.

Chu Wujiang understood and asked tentatively:

"Master Qin, what benefits can this kid get, and what obligations do he need to bear?"

He had long understood that there was no free breakfast in the world.

Even the [Book of Death] in his body was obtained at the cost of the life of the young man in green.

Qin Wu crossed his arms, very satisfied with this attitude:

"It's very simple. I have mastered many martial arts of the Hero Camp, such as the Blood Battle Technique and the Extreme Prison Lightning Technique."

"I can teach you step by step."

"But there are two requests. The first is to rebuild the Hero Camp, and the second is to find out the real cause of the Marquis' death."

Chu Wujiang was silent for a moment, and asked in confusion:

"General Nangong has been dead for six hundred years."

"Even if there is any truth..."

Does this make sense?
The scar on Qin Wu's face trembled:

"I don't care."

"I am the Marquis' personal guard. Without the Marquis' promotion, I would have died in some corner like a stink bug."

"No matter how long it takes, I must find out the truth about the Marquis' death."

"If someone secretly tampered with something, I will avenge him!"

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"It's the same for the Huo family, right?"

Qin Wu nodded and said, "Yes, this is also the deal between me and their family."

"Whoever investigates the true cause of the Marquis' death will be told by me where the Marquis' true inheritance lies."

No wonder Huo Qiu Shui was willing to spend such a huge price to purchase the relics of the former champion marquis.

Because they have spent hundreds of years investigating the truth of the matter.

The inheritance of a powerful soul-level master is really attractive.

Even if all the Chu family’s current assets were added together, they would not be able to compare to these.

Chu Wujiang thought about it and it seemed that there was no harm to him, but he asked again:
"What are the criteria for rebuilding the Hero Battalion?"

Qin Wu stroked his beard with satisfaction. Only those who are willing to make things clear will have the sincerity to execute the transaction:
"Of course, he was awarded the title of Marquis and used it to build an army."

That requirement is extremely high.

Originally, Marquis of Champion was just an ordinary title, but ever since Nangong Wang was made a marquis at a young age and went on an expedition to the desert, he became the most special one among the marquises.

If a young person is not a talented person who has made great contributions, he will not be awarded this title. Moreover, this title will not be hereditary, but more like a kind of honor.

In the six hundred years of the Tianming Dynasty, no more than three people were awarded this title, which is equivalent to one person every two hundred years.

Each of them is a peerless genius.

Even so, they are despised and not recognized.

After all, becoming a powerful Yuanshen master at the age of nineteen is really outrageous. He is a child of destiny.

Body building, Yuantai, Yuandan, Yuanling, Yuanshen...

The gap between each major realm is greater than that between humans and dogs.

Anyone who can achieve the state of a primordial spirit in a hundred years is considered a peerless genius, but he turned out to be only nineteen years old.

If Chu Wujiang didn't have the golden finger, he would definitely not agree to such a condition, because it is impossible to do it:

"What if the kid promised but didn't follow through?"

Chu Wujiang didn't think that Mr. Qin would be so stupid as to exchange a blank check for a treasure.

As expected, Qin Wu said very bluntly:
"Then you need to pay some Yuan Dan, and I will make a contract with you."

"If you fail to obtain the title of Champion Marquis at the age of 20, you will have to pay Yuan Dan of corresponding value based on the martial arts you have learned."

A warrior condenses his Yuan Tai and transforms it into Yuan Dan. After his death, he can leave behind the Yuan Dan, which can become various precious equipment and treasures.

Chu Wujiang saw the detailed conditions and found them to be quite generous. After all, the hero flag also needed maintenance and food supply to survive well:
"Okay, but there is one condition, kid."

"What conditions?"

"The boy needs ice-related or Yin-related martial arts."

Chu Wujiang told Mr. Qin about the "Black Turtle Longevity Sutra" that he had practiced.

Although the Huo family's "Extreme Prison Lightning Art" is very good, it is not compatible with his physique, and he needs a more suitable martial art.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin smiled:
"What a coincidence."

"I once obtained the 'Tai Yin Demon-Slaying True Art', which is a mid-level earth-level art, one level higher than the 'Extreme Prison Lightning Art'."

"It's a pity that this martial art only goes up to the Yuan Dan section."

"If you want, I can teach you."

After hearing this, Chu Wujiang agreed immediately without hesitation:

"I am willing to learn the Taiyin Demon-Slaying Secret."

At worst, it can be integrated with the "Xuangui Wanshou Sutra", which is more suitable for Chu Wujiang's physique, and the degree of compatibility is more important.

"Well, I hope you can become a man of integrity like the Marquis."

Old Master Qin said in a deep voice and began to explain the "Taiyin Demon-Extinguishing Secret".

If the "Black Turtle Longevity Sutra" condenses the power of ice and focuses on prolonging life, then the "Taiyin Exterminating Demons True Art" begins to explore the power of Taiyin, which is enough to exorcise demons.

What is even more surprising is that the two sides are extremely similar and compatible in cultivating vital energy.

It seems as if "The Mysterious Turtle's Longevity Sutra" is a lower-level practice of "The Taiyin Demon-Subduing Secret".

Chu Wujiang was delighted, and the vitality in his body surged, and he had a vague feeling of a breakthrough.

"Okay, that's all I know."

"The Taiyin Demon-Slaying Secret is the martial arts of the Tiandao Sect. If you want to learn the complete technique, you can go find them."

When Mr. Qin saw that the deal was done, he looked a little tired and prepared to cancel the inheritance.

After hearing this, Chu Wujiang quickly said:

"and many more."

"What else do you want?"

Chu Wujiang finally caught a sheep, so naturally he would try his best to fleece the sheep.

He smiled, clasped his hands together and said:

"Didn't the kid just get some merits? These should also be counted."

"This opportunity is rare. Old Master, why don't you teach them Bloody Battle Technique and Thunder Blade Technique together?"

"Also, the 'Tai Yin Demon-Slaying Secret' only goes up to the Yuan Dan chapter. Shouldn't there be some compensation?"

……

At this time, the guards of the Chu family and the Huo family were on the verge of a war.

Until Chu Wujiang opened his eyes, he immediately scolded:

"Stop it, don't act rashly."

Huo Qiushui was overjoyed:
"Master Chu, are you okay?"

"Thanks to His Royal Highness and Miss Huo, Chu has obtained a lower-grade Xuan-level martial art, the Bloody Battle Technique."

Chu Wujiang said with a smile.

Your Highness, it’s time to get the gold coins.
