Chapter 597 Yue Lao San
The combined skills of these four Holy Envoys of Lingjiu Palace amount to more than seventy years!

Everyone’s skills have been practiced for more than ten years, and the conversion rate of the third level of “Daoxuan Gong” can reach one tenth.

Therefore, Chai Xin's internal strength immediately increased by more than seven years!

Adding the original ten years, it is more than seventeen years.

The seventeen years of practice of "Dao Xuan Gong" is enough to crush most of the heroes in the martial arts world who have practiced for more than twenty years!
Even if he encounters those first-rate figures who have been famous for a long time, with Chai Xin's current skills, he will be able to deal with them and will not be completely powerless to fight back.

"It seems that the creation of subsequent skills is imminent. The speed of this strength improvement is even faster than I expected!"

Chai Xin felt the internal force in his body growing stronger, and immediately realized that it was urgent to create subsequent exercises.

With his current seventeen years of practice, he should have been able to advance to the fourth level of Daoxuan Gong naturally.

It was only because he had not yet created the fourth level of Daoxuan Gong that he was stuck at the perfection of the third level.

Next, before he created the subsequent skills, he could no longer continue to absorb the abilities of others.

Otherwise, although there will be no threat to life, it will cause some unnecessary hidden dangers.

In his current condition, although he has seventeen years of skills, he can only use fifteen years.

In addition, the skills gained in those two years can only be said to be "temporarily stored". If you do not practice subsequent skills quickly, they will gradually dissipate.

"If you do this, I'm afraid you'll be in big trouble once grandma finds out!"

"We are of the same origin, why are you so eager to fight each other? We have already bowed to you, why do you have to kill us all?"

"I never thought that I would encounter such a disaster before I could finish my mission after being ordered to go down the mountain... Even if I go back, grandma will definitely punish me severely..."

The four ladies of Lingjiu Palace had collapsed to the ground powerlessly at this time, their eyes full of despair and their mouths filled with grief and anger.

Chai Xin showed no mercy, and turned to walk out of the kitchen, saying, "You have brought this upon yourselves. I am doing my utmost by not killing you. If you want revenge in the future, just come and find me."

After hearing these words, the four of them felt extremely bitter in their hearts.

Looking at his departing back, everyone fell into silence for a moment.

Chai Xin didn't kill the four people, not because he was sympathetic to women, or because he was concerned about the Child-Grandma of Tianshan. It was simply because the four people had not drawn their swords against him before, and although they had said rude things, their crimes were not punishable by death.

Just like those members of the Shennong Gang, it’s enough to take away their internal strength, there’s no need to take their lives.

Again, although he is not a good person, he is not a devil who kills people on sight.

If those guys from Lingjiu Palace didn't come and cause trouble, he really had no intention of provoking them.

There was no direct conflict between the two sides, and there were four of them, each of them was very strong.

Previously, Chai Xin might have had a 20 to 30 percent chance of killing the four men, but it was impossible for him to capture them alive.

Since it is impossible to capture him alive, there is no need to absorb his internal energy, so there is no need to create a conflict with him, let alone fight him to the death.

If the four people had not rushed into the kitchen and forced Chai Xin to cook for them with a bad attitude, Chai Xin would not have had the opportunity to poison the food.

It can only be said that it is a cycle of cause and effect and retribution. The four words "you brought it upon yourself" are not unfair at all when applied to them.

After Chai Xin came out of the kitchen, he did not leave. Instead, he found a secret room and immediately began to create the subsequent exercises of "Daoxuan Gong".

Previously, he had created the first three levels of the technique and then stopped there, anxious to improve his strength in order to avoid being left without the ability to protect himself in any danger.

Now that his strength has greatly increased, he can calm down for a while and complete the remaining skills.

Time flies, and ten days pass in a flash.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect was wiped out, there was no shortage of stored food, so Chai Xin lived comfortably alone.

During the ten days, he continued to retreat and developed the subsequent techniques of "Daoxuan Gong" to the ninth level!

The ninth level of Daoxuan Gong is the theoretical limit of what a martial artist can achieve.

At the same time, it is also the limit of what this world can bear.

If you want to break through this limit, you must first come into contact with this limit, which is definitely not something that can be achieved in isolation.

Chai Xin's main goal in the future is to practice "Daoxuan Gong" to the ninth level of perfection, and then consider breaking the limits of the realm.

After going down the mountain, Chai Xin walked along the main road. He met some villagers on the way, asked them the direction of Dali City, and then set off.

He was still carrying the jade pendant and letter given to him by Duan Yu. As the saying goes, one should be loyal to the person who entrusted him with the task. It had been delayed for more than ten days and there was no time to delay any further.

Wuliang Mountain is nearly three hundred miles away from Dali, which is not close at all. Even with Chai Xin's speed, it would take two or three hours to arrive.

However, he did not buy a horse and decided to travel on foot.

It’s not that he didn’t have money to buy the horse - in fact, he had seized a thick stack of silver bills from the Shennong Gang and the Wuliang Sword Sect, with a total value of several thousand taels!

Even if it was just loose change, it would amount to more than three hundred taels.

In addition, some calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jade and gems collected in the Wuliang Sword Sect's treasury were also swept away by him.

If you need money urgently, those things can be exchanged for at least a few thousand taels of silver.

Fortunately, the small fortune seal in his body also has a practical function - storage. Although the space is not large, with a diameter of only more than ten feet, it is enough.

Otherwise, it would be a real headache for him to carry dozens of kilograms of silver at all times.

With so much silver in hand, it is more than enough to buy a horse, let alone a shopping mall.

However, traveling on foot is helpful in improving one's skills, so Chai Xin certainly would not choose to ride a horse.

What's more, a distance of more than 200 miles is indeed very far for ordinary people, but for him who has profound skills, it is not an exaggeration.

In addition, although delivering the letter is something that must be done, it is not a very urgent matter.

Anyway, Duan Yu will definitely be safe and sound, so it doesn't make much difference if he arrives a moment earlier or a moment later.

Arriving at a small town, Chai Xin planned to stay for a while and have some tea before leaving.

I had just found a tea stall and sat down, and hadn't even taken two sips of tea when I heard a familiar and anxious voice coming from not far away.

"Brother Chai, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Chai Xin turned his head and saw Duan Yu, who should have been handsome and elegant, wearing a coarse blue shirt from nowhere, waving at him with surprise on his face.

"Brother Chai, are you going to Dali, or coming back from Dali?"

Duan Yu rushed forward two steps, bowed to Chai Xin, and then sat down on the bench next to him.

Chai Xin poured him a cup of tea and said apologetically, "I was delayed a few days ago because of my own practice. Now I am just delivering a letter to your family for you."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the letter is not sent. Anyway, the poison of the Broken Heart Powder has been cured now. If the letter is really sent to Dali, I'm afraid it will make my parents sad for nothing." Duan Yu waved his hand. He had encountered a lot of things in the past few days and the situation was very different now.

"But Brother Chai, I still want you to go to Dali as soon as possible, find my parents, and bring some reinforcements."

Chai Xin was surprised when he heard this: "Call for help? Are you still in danger? Who is chasing you? I have improved my skills a lot now, maybe I can give you a helping hand."

Duan Yu waved his hands after hearing this. It had been less than half a month. Even if Chai Xin's skills had improved a lot, how much could they have improved?
He did not have any intention of mocking Chai Xin in his heart. Instead, he felt warmed by the other party's enthusiasm.

However, he felt that the current situation was more dangerous than when he faced Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu before, and he really did not want to implicate Chai Xin and let him die in vain.

"What happened? Please tell me in detail."

Chai Xin picked up the tea, took a big sip, and asked calmly.

Duan Yu thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to tell Brother Chai the truth, otherwise he might not listen and would insist on getting involved.

He then related his recent experiences as briefly and clearly as possible.

"After Miss Zhong left, Miss Mu and I were harassed by 'Yue Lao Er', one of the four evil men. He first wanted to kill Miss Zhong to avenge his apprentice, but later he clamored to take me in as his apprentice... I refused to take the evil man as my master, so he kidnapped Miss Mu!"

After saying so much, Duan Yu couldn't help feeling a little dry in the mouth, so he poured himself another cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"In short, Yue Lao Er is incredibly powerful. I'm afraid he's even better than Sikong Gang Leader and Zuo Zhangmen. Brother Chai, if you're willing to go back to Dali to ask for help on my behalf, I'll be very grateful and will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As he said this, he put down the tea bowl, stood up and bowed deeply to Chai Xin.

"Yue Lao Er? It should be Yue Lao San! Sure enough, he ran into him."

Chai Xin stroked his chin, looked at Duan Yu for a moment, and began to think in his heart.

Among the four villains in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", except Duan Yanqing who can be ranked among the top masters in the martial arts world, the other three are much inferior.

Ye Erniang might be stronger than Yue Laosan, but probably not much stronger; Yue Laosan is much stronger than Yun Zhonghe, but not too exaggerated.

If compared with the original novel, Yue Lao San's strength can be considered at the top second-rate level in the entire "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

After all, in the battle at Juxianzhuang, the narrator of the original novel clearly stated that there were indeed many good fighters in this heroic gathering, and there were at least thirty or forty people who had real kung fu skills better than Yun Zhonghe, if not fifty or sixty.

Even though Yue Laosan is half a level stronger than Yun Zhonghe, but in the battle at Juxianzhuang, there are probably at least a dozen people who are stronger than him.

This only counts the people present in that battle. If the entire martial arts world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is included, it would be very difficult for Yue Lao San to rank in the top 100.

However, Chai Xin had never fought with Yue Lao San, so it was difficult to make a clear judgment on his specific level.

It has to be said that he did have the idea of ​​fighting with Yue Lao San.

In this way, at least we can have a general understanding of the entire martial arts world and the strength of various celebrities.

People like Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu are completely minor characters who can't even be ranked in the underworld.

Using their strength to estimate the strength of most martial arts heroes in the entire martial arts world is simply unrealistic...

Can we infer the results of the top ten students from the results of the last few students?

Obviously impossible.

At least we need to see the results of students with average grades so that we can have a rough idea of ​​the results of excellent students.

Yue Laosan's strength in the underworld can definitely be called "middle-level", or even "upper-middle-level".

"How about this, you tell me where Yue Lao San is, and then you go back to Dali to ask for help yourself."

Chai Xin thought for a moment and then proposed his own solution.

"How can that be possible! Yue Lao San is very powerful, I can't harm my elder brother!" Duan Yu quickly refused, "If elder brother Chai doesn't want to ask for help on my behalf, then forget it. Just pretend that I never mentioned this matter."

As he said this, he bowed again: "Brother Chai, I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave first! Please don't send the letter home again. The content is almost like a suicide note. It would be bad if my parents read it. Take care!"

After saying this, he walked out of the town without any hesitation, using the Lingbo Weibu step.

In the ten days or so, Duan Yu's martial arts progress was naturally far inferior to Chai Xin's, but he had achieved some success and could at least compete with Gan Guanghao and his ilk.

"This kid is really kind, but I will really take care of this matter."

Chai Xin naturally understood that Duan Yu left in a hurry because he didn't want to implicate him, but how could he easily change the decision he had already made in his mind?

Since Yue Lao San is planning to take Duan Yu as his disciple, he will definitely not run too far.

It is very likely that he is hiding in the dark, silently observing Duan Yu's every move, and may jump out at any time.

Now, as long as Chai Xin follows Duan Yu, it shouldn’t take too long to find Yue Lao San.

With his current skills, he could quietly follow behind Duan Yu, and not only would the other party be unable to shake him off, he wouldn't even have the possibility of noticing him.

"Brother, check out!"

After leaving a few copper coins for tea, Chai Xin walked out of the tea stall and fell far behind Duan Yu.

The direction Duan Yu was heading was exactly where Dali City was.

He knew very well that with his current strength, it would be a fantasy to defeat Yue Lao San and rescue Mu Wanqing.

The best way at this time is to return to Dali and ask the elders in the family for help.

Although it would take at least a whole day to get back given his current speed, it was still a solution and better than just waiting to die.

Shortly after leaving the town, Chai Xin noticed something strange.

A few dozen feet behind Duan Yu, a rough bearded man holding a mask and wearing a black robe was following him slowly.

Needless to say, this bearded man must be Yue Lao San.

If we simply talk about martial arts skills, Yue Laosan is actually better than Chai Xin, but his attainments in light skills are much worse.

At least compared with Chai Xin, there is a big gap.

Chai Xin followed far behind, but he never noticed anything.

However, Chai Xin did not take action immediately. In case there were other one of the four evil men nearby, with his current strength, something unexpected might happen.

After walking more than ten miles outside the town, Chai Xin was sure that there was no one else around, so he decided to take action.

His figure flashed quickly, and the distance of a hundred feet passed in a flash. In a few breaths, he was already behind Yue Lao San.

"who!"

No matter how slow Yue Lao San was, he was still a well-known martial arts master. He had already noticed when Chai Xin approached within ten feet of him.
