Chapter 352 Temporary City Lord

 When he took over the Lingsha Gourd from Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia felt as if he was overjoyed.

Not to mention the recovery of the spirit evil gourd's function of sensing and containing spiritual evil, the emerald green sword energy alone is enough to greatly increase the value of this gourd.

"No one below the martial arts level can rival the power of this sword." Since this sentence came from Kou Chongxue's mouth, the sword energy in the gourd must be enough to pose a fatal threat to any fourth-level heavenly warrior!

What's even more commendable is that what Kou Chongxue left behind this time was a little bit of Yuan Gang's origin.

Even if the sword energy in the gourd is used up, it can still be slowly restored through pregnancy and nourishment.

That means the sword energy in the gourd can be used repeatedly!

There is no other treasure that can compare with the thing in hand, and this thing immediately became the number one trump card in Shang Xia's hands!

But at this moment, Shang Xia heard Kou Chongxue next to him sigh with regret: "Unfortunately, the quality of this gourd is limited after all. It can only carry a little of the origin of my 'Changchun Pure Gang'. Otherwise, if it were replaced by me,

The 'Shouyang Bronze Mother Sword Qi' can be killed even by the fifth-level ancestor!"

Shang Xia's hands holding the Lingsha gourd trembled slightly, and he said quickly: "The treasure given by the mountain chief is good enough!"

Unexpectedly, Kou Chongxue looked at him and nodded, saying: "That's right! You haven't advanced to the fourth level yet. Even if I leave a trace of 'Shou Yang Bronze Mother Sword Qi', your body will not be able to withstand the sword that spills out from the gourd."

gas!"

Shang Xia: "..."

Having said this, Kou Chongxue's eyes once again glanced past Shang Pei, and turned to Shang Xia: "I shouldn't stay here for a long time, so I will return to Tongyou City. After the war, the situation is chaotic, so you can stay in Changsha.

Maple City will temporarily take over the position of city lord to stabilize the situation in the city until the academy sends someone to take over."

Hearing this, Shang Xia quickly waved his hands and said: "How can this disciple be so virtuous? Moreover, to become the Lord of Changfeng City, one must at least be at the fourth level of heaven cultivation in order to suppress the warriors from all sides inside and outside the city. The disciple is currently unable to do so..."

Kou Chongxue's original incarnation at this time has turned into a stream of light and attached to the Youxue Sword. The divine weapon was slightly trembling, and Kou Chongxue's voice seemed to have a hint of gold and iron: "You don't have to belittle yourself, kid.

How many people below the fourth level can be your opponent? Who above the fourth level dares to jump around at this time?"

After saying that, Youxue Sword turned in the air, and as Kou Chongxue said "I'm going to go," the sword light passed through the void barrier on the top of the cave and disappeared.

Shang Xia looked at the top of the cave where Youxue Sword disappeared, feeling a little lost for a moment.

When he turned around, his eyes fell on Shang Pei who was opposite him with his eyes still closed: "Since you have woken up, you didn't get up to greet me. It's a bit rude. After all, that person is the chief of Tongyou Mountain.

The fifth-level ancestor, one of the top strong men in the world!"

For a long time, just when Shang Xia thought that she was not going to pay attention to him, Shang Pei's voice suddenly came out faintly: "I was so cold at the sight of him that I couldn't stand up!"

…………

In response to Tongyou Academy's return to the Coral Forest Mysterious Realm, it destructively led to the origin tide of the two realms, and then triggered a war between all parties fighting for the origin of heaven and earth. In the end, Kou Chongxue was reborn, frightened away the powerful enemies from all directions, and rushed to the incarnation of the origin.

Jizhou, the sword defeated Sanlu in Jizhou and came to an end.

Although the so-called "defeat the three deer in Jizhou with a sword" is a bit exaggerated, and there are many reasons including Kou Chongxue's sneak attack, the White Deer Faction's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, and the Xuanlu Ancestor arriving after the fact, etc., the White Deer Faction suffered a huge blow at the hands of Kou Chongxue this time.

Unfortunately, it is an indisputable fact that the origin of the blessed land has been plundered in large numbers.

Ever since Kou Chongxue returned from Jizhou that day, Shang Xia, who was temporarily appointed as the Lord of Changfeng City, has stayed in the city and never left.

Fortunately, because of Tongyou Academy's great victory, Kou Chongxue's reputation is at its peak.

When Shang Xia announced that he would serve as the acting city lord and take temporary charge of all matters in Changmaple City, the entire Changmaple City quickly stabilized, and even several of the decrees he issued could be circulated and implemented smoothly.

This made Shang Xia's long-prepared plan to use one or two thorns to establish his power come to nothing.

Shang Xia knew that his ability was not in being the city lord. As long as no one in the city made trouble, after a big chaos, everyone began to spontaneously recuperate and recuperate, and he would naturally be happy to spend more time on cultivation.

In the small private courtyard in the east of the city, Shang Xia was concentrating on drawing a very different talisman seal in the side room.

At this time, the side room was no longer as shabby as before, but due to the small size of the room, too many things could not be placed.

It's funny to say that after Shang Xia advanced to the third level of martial arts, he experienced a series of things, so that apart from normal practice, he never had much time to study the art of talismans and seals.

Coupled with the fact that he has encountered many opportunities and has been rising in cultivation, he is still a second-level talisman master, which is somewhat incompatible with his cultivation level of the Three Talents Realm of Dzogchen.

Therefore, since he temporarily took over the position of the Lord of Changfeng City, because he was temporarily unable to use the Sifang Monument to deduce the fourth-level advanced potion, apart from the most basic daily practice, in addition to polishing his own Dzogchen cultivation to become more skillful, Shang

Xia put most of his energy into studying the art of talisman and seal script.

Because they had the foundation of seven second-level swordsmanship magical talismans derived from themselves, Shang Xia actually made rapid progress in the production of second-level martial talismans.

Coupled with the fundamental blessing of Shang Xia's current martial arts cultivation, especially his strong martial arts will, after the baptism of "The Sensation Chapter of Heaven and Man", he has an even better control of details in the process of drawing talisman seals.

Sophisticated, Shang Xia maintained a very good success rate in drawing second-level martial talismans.

Because of this, after more than a month of preparation, Shang Xia finally made up his mind to try to draw a third-level martial talisman.

Compared with the second-level martial talisman, the difficulty of making third-level martial talismans will be greatly improved.

The direct consequence is that even the best third-level talisman masters will not have a high success rate in making third-level talismans, and the number of third-level talismans has plummeted.

Very rare in battles.

There are many reasons for this situation, including the difficulty of drawing the third-level talisman itself, the substantial improvement in the quality of various spiritual materials used to make talismans, the scarcity of the number of third-level talisman masters, etc.

But when Shang Xia started working on it, he immediately realized that the biggest reason was actually the loss of martial arts will during the production process!

Martial arts will itself can be seen as a manifestation of a warrior's belief in martial arts. It is originally a "thing" that is extremely difficult to consume.

Just like what warriors usually say, "I can be defeated, but I cannot admit defeat", which is generally a manifestation of martial arts will.

Because of this, once the martial arts will is divided and depleted, not only is it much more difficult to recover than the depletion of one's own true energy, but during the recovery process, the possibility that the martial artist will lose control of his true energy and become possessed is greater than usual.

Out several times.

This caused many talisman masters to immediately give up when they tried to make third-level talismans.

Even a Talisman Master who has truly entered the third level must be extremely cautious every time he makes a Talisman.

This is why Shang Xia, who was from an extraordinary background, has only owned a third-level martial talisman so far.

Moreover, that martial talisman was derived from Shang Ke's "Splitting Sky Spear". It was only after he reached the third level of cultivation and made no progress for many years that he invited the third level talisman master of Tongyou Academy to take action and consumed a lot of energy.

A wisp of martial arts will serves as an introduction to create this kind of martial talisman.

In this way, Shangke continuously

After dividing his martial arts will three times, in the end he only became two "Splitting Spear" martial talismans.

After Shang Ke recovered, he originally wanted to continue production, but was severely stopped by Shang Bo.

The method used by Shang Ke to make the "Splitting Spear" talisman was actually a trick developed by a third-level talisman master in order to avoid the loss of his own martial arts will.

The talisman master transfers the loss of martial arts will to the person seeking the talisman, and at the same time he can also reduce a considerable part of the cost of making the talisman. In addition, the person seeking the talisman has something to ask for, so this method can be regarded as a win-win situation.

.

Only this kind of tricky method can sever the martial arts will of the person seeking the talisman much more severely than the talisman master's own martial arts will.

The reason is very simple, after all, other people’s products are not as easy to use as your own!

If a warrior frequently and continuously divides his martial arts will in a short period of time, it is very likely to have a great impact on the warrior's own potential. This is also the fundamental reason why Shang Bo strictly prohibited Shang Ke from dividing his martial arts will many times.

After Shang Xia started preparing for the production of third-level talismans, the news spread back to Tongyou City. The merchant quickly sent Shang Quan to come, delivering three pieces of third-level talisman paper and a piece of high-quality talisman ink. He also brought Shang Quan.

Ke’s stern instructions: Don’t over-divide your martial arts will!

As the level of the martial talisman increases, in order to carry the power contained in the martial talisman itself, the material quality of the talisman itself must also increase accordingly.

Just like these third-level talisman papers, Shang Xia knew without even thinking that the entire merchant could not get enough three third-level talisman papers even after digging through their old books. There might be one or two in there. It was Shang Ke or Shang Bo who gave up their old face and took over from him.

Asked for from everywhere.

Fortunately, Shang Xia took over the city lord's mansion!

Yang Hu has been running Changfeng City for more than ten years, and Changfeng City is a thoroughfare. Even if most of the wealth collected is on him, Shang Xia still found a lot of good things in the city lord's mansion.

, including two third-level blank talisman papers.

Later, Shang Quan gave Shang Xia an idea, and took the initiative to spread the word to the outside world, saying that the city lord's palace asked for the purchase of third-level talisman paper.

Soon after, someone really came to the door. Shang Xia received two more third-level talisman papers, one for the Qi-Calming Golden Scale Inkstone, one for the Concentrating Jade Paperweight, and two for the Meditation Incense.

Naturally, Shang Xia would not take it for free, but paid silver dollars according to the price, and spent more than half of the cash he collected during this period.

Despite this, Shang Xia still understood that these things often have a price but no market, and the people who sell them are usually more willing to barter. The fundamental reason why they are willing to sell them with silver coins is that they have a need.

Before meeting Shang Xia, these sellers had already been selected by Shang Quan. All they wanted was to be protected by Tongyou Academy and to open a trade route with Tongyou City.

After the reconstruction of Youcheng, they would purchase lots in the city at a certain price, or even just want to look familiar in front of Shang Xia.

Considering Shang Xia's current reputation and status, most of these matters can be settled with just one word. At most, it is just a matter of asking Shang Ke to come forward and talk about it. He still has a little face.

Fortunately, Shang Xia himself was still sober, and he knew that these people were flattering and flattering in front of him not because of him, a young boy who was not yet twenty years old, but because of Tongyou Academy, which had gradually grown into a behemoth behind him.

In fact, Shang Xia still didn't really realize how much face he had now.

Even Shang Quan, a man who is well versed in human nature, cannot raise his horizons due to his own limitations.

In a sense, Shang Xia is the kind of monster who can invite Kou Chongxue to stand up!

However, I'm afraid even he himself didn't realize this.
