Noting the commotion around, Chen Meng looked at Yao Ruoyu with some concern. Seeing this, the latter frowned slightly, suddenly bounced his fingers, and the Frost Xi sword on his waist had already soared into the air. Then he felt a sword intent full of destructive aura rushed out of it and stirred up unscrupulously towards the surroundings.

The people on the dock were just ordinary people. They had a second level of cultivation, and could not resist the pressure of the fifth level of sword intent. They immediately retreated one after another, but their wealth was touching. After taking a few steps back, the group of people stood back again and looked at this place with unwilling eyes.

Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu snorted coldly, his mind moved slightly, and his sword intent suddenly increased and he continued to force around. Suddenly, those ordinary people were forced out by the sword intent, and only a few people with cultivation could barely support him.

However, as Yao Ruoyu's mind changed, his sword intent became stronger and stronger. After a few breaths, the few people who stayed behind could not bear it and retreated in a mess. After a while, all the wharf except Yao Ruoyu and others left the wharf.

Although he forced the group back, Yao Ruoyu still refused to stop and still hung his sword at the top, allowing the sword intent to be stronger than the other wave, covering the entire dock, blocking all the others out.

Just as the coachman and soldiers were about to move all the gold and silver to the ship, Yao Ruoyu suddenly turned around and looked out of the dock, and said coldly, "Lord Wulong City?" With the intent of the sword, his voice was loud and resounding inside and outside the dock.

"It was Zhuang, I don't know which general came to Wulong and was in a position to welcome him. I would like to atone for his sins."

Shortly after Yao Ruoyu finished speaking, a clear voice also came from outside the dock. At the same time, Yao Ruoyu keenly felt a stream of spiritual energy pouring in from outside, trying to break into his sword intent.

With a angrily snorted, Yao Ruoyu took out the altar, and a short sword above his head moved. The surging black tide had evolved, sweeping over his head like a fire tide. The threat was very obvious. If the lord of Wulong City dared to get closer, he would take action without mercy.

Feeling Yao Ruoyu's strength, the Wulong City Lord outside the dock was a little silent, and then said dissatisfied, "Mr. Zhuang is the Wulong City Lord. This dock is Wulong territory. Although you are a general, this is probably too much, right?"

"Because there is something important, I will borrow the dock for a while," Yao Ruoyu waved his hand, and the sword intention wrapped around about ten gold bricks and flew into the air. He threw it out of the dock, and then said aloud, "This is the rental fee."

Outside the dock, Zhuang Lin, the lord of Wulong City, looked at the dozen gold bricks under his feet with amused and crying. The reason why he rushed over was not because he heard about the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the dock, but because he felt that there were powerful people in his city, worried that it would be detrimental to the people in the city. He did not expect that the other party was so generous, and he threw out more than a dozen gold bricks in just a few words.

Both sides are powerful people in the fifth realm, and Zhuang Lin faintly felt that he might not be the opponent, so after thinking about it, he nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll borrow your dock for a while. I wonder how long it will take?"

"It'll be fine in a moment." Seeing that everyone had moved all the gold, silver and armor to the ship, Yao Ruoyu whispered, "You can go first by boat, I'll arrive later."

Chen Meng and Wu Xue didn't say anything when they heard this, and immediately took the people on the boat. Of course, all the hired coachmen stayed, and they were not in a hurry to sort out the money on the deck. They directly raised the sails and slowly left the dock.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, I guess Chen Meng and others should have almost gone far. Yao Ruoyu put away his sword intent, then took the altar and soared into the air, leaving the dock directly.

When Yao Ruoyu was delaying, Zhuang Lin also learned about life from the civil servants on the dock, but he did not see the gold, silver and jewelry, so he naturally would not feel anything, and he had no greed.

After the sword intent disappeared, Zhuang Lin stepped in, and the people behind him naturally wanted to follow in, especially the group of people who had been on the dock before, and wanted to go over immediately and find out if the other party had any gold, silver and jewelry left behind.

Zhuang Lin was too lazy to pay attention to the group of people, so he walked straight into the dock. Seeing that the other party had left, he didn't say much. He just waited for him to turn around and saw more than 30 carriages left by Yao Ruoyu and others, and couldn't help but take a breath.

With such a huge convoy, the amount of gold and silver transported is probably extremely terrible. No wonder the other party is so strong. I think it is because I am worried that I will make money.

Most of the city lords of the Song Dynasty were civil servants, so was Zhuang Lin. He was a weak person by nature and had no evil thoughts after being surprised. After telling everyone to continue working, he left straight away.

On the other side, Yao Ruoyu walked along the waterway, and after a while he caught up with Chen Meng and others. At this time, Chen Meng was carrying twenty soldiers to move gold, silver and jewelry into the cabin, while Wu Xue was sitting next to him, crossing her legs and commanding in various ways.

After Yao Ruoyu fell down, he put away the altar first, then went straight to Wu Xue to sit down, and said with a smile, "You guy, forget it if you don't help, don't command it blindly."

"I'm not blindly directing, okay?" After rolling my eyes, Wu Xue curled her lips, "I'm helping them find the fastest way. Anyone who is like you, who doesn't do anything at all, will know that he's wandering around."

Yao Ruoyu was too lazy to argue with her, so he naturally didn't bother to move things with his own hands, so he simply returned to the cabin, closed his eyes and meditated, and restored the energy he had consumed to control the altar before.

It took Chen Meng and others a long time to move all these things into the cabin, but because of so many things, the weight of the hull has increased greatly, so of course it has been much slower. It is estimated that it will take at least one month to go back.

Yao Ruoyu didn't care about these things. As he broke through to the fifth level with the help of external objects several times, his own cultivation was also stimulated, and there were signs of breaking through to the eighth level of the third level.

Concerning that his foundation is not stable, Yao Ruoyu did not intend to break through so quickly, so he kept using his mind to suppress the realm and then constantly consolidated his foundation, especially the "fountain" in the purple palace. With his continuous efforts, the more stable the spring structure becomes, and there is a vague appearance of turning from virtual to real, to real.

And the most important thing is that Yao Ruoyu has not condensed his first soul talisman to this day.

Soul Talisman is the foundation of spiritual master's practice, and is more important than spiritual methods, spiritual consciousness, and spiritual power. If the fundamental reason for a person's survival lies in the immortality of the mind and soul, then the meaning of the soul to the spirit master can almost reach the same level as the meaning of the mind and soul to the human being.

A spiritual master can condense three soul talismans in his life, and can condense one path from the first to the third realm, the second path from the fourth to the sixth realm, and the last path is condensed after the seventh realm.

The composition of the soul talisman is that the spirit master chooses to condense according to the attributes of his own spiritual practice and his own temperament.

For example, Yao Ruoyu's master Ghost Lord, his first soul talisman is weird, which is because of the ever-changing changes in the art of tricks and almost omnipotent weirdness.

The soul talismans chosen by most spiritual masters are related to the skills they practice. For example, those who practice fire-based spiritual methods, most of the first soul talismans will choose fire, and there are also soul talismans related to fire such as burn, flame, and flame.

But this first soul talisman gave Yao Ruoyu a headache.

Logically speaking, he should choose Wei as his first soul talisman, but Yao Ruoyu also practiced "Ice Heart Art", so it is not bad to choose Water or Ice. However, he also practiced "The Secret Sword of the Heart", so the two soul talismans, namely the Heart and Sword, also seem to be good choices.

The first soul talisman is extremely important to the spirit master. It can be said that it is the foundation for the spirit master to truly enter the practice. If the condensed soul talisman does not match the subsequent practice path, it will naturally hinder the spirit master's practice and there is a possibility of no progress.

So since I started to consider the soul condensation talisman, Yao Ruoyu has been having a headache. He has not had much energy these days, and is thinking about what soul condensation he has gathered.

Before Yao Ruoyu could think about what soul talisman to condense, his cultivation had been suppressed to the extreme and could not be suppressed anymore. The spiritual power in the spring exploded, sucking the surrounding spiritual energy, quickly condensed drops of spiritual power into the spring.

However, in one night, Yao Ruoyu broke through to the eighth level of the third level, one step closer to the fourth level.

After knowing this the next day, Wu Xue and Chen Meng were depressed. Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was about to reach the third level, they were still spinning in the middle of the third level. This sense of distance really made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yao Ruoyu noticed the loss of the two, so of course he quickly comforted them, but he really underestimated these two guys. They were both modern people and had received higher education. Although their minds were not mature, they were not something that could be hit by. The two quickly regained their smiles.

Although there are practitioners in this era, most of the message transmission is still dependent on human power. The cost of message transmission such as spiritual arrays is huge. Only the city lord in Wulong City has this ability, but with Zhuang Lin's temperament, he naturally has no interest in doing such things.

So the return journey was very smooth. Although their ship was very well drawn and obviously contained a lot of cargo, because it had been driving in the official waterway, Ke Dayi, the water bandit, had surrendered to the Literary and Art Army, so there were no water bandits who came to rob.

It took more than twenty days to finally return to Hezhou City.

After arriving at the dock, Yao Ruoyu left Chen Meng to be responsible for unloading the goods, and took out the altar and took Wu Xue directly back to Diaoyu City.

As soon as he returned to the leader's mansion, Wu Xue excitedly went to Hou Jingru to play, while Yao Ruoyu went to the Ministry of Personnel. He hadn't seen Xu Xuanrong for a long time. To be honest, he missed him very much. Of course, he also wanted to show off the large amount of gold, silver and military armor he brought back.

The offices of the five ministries are built around the Leader's Mansion. In addition, the square facing the main entrance of the Leader's Mansion, the sixth happened to form a regular hexagon, and the Ministry of Personnel was located on the left side of the Leader's Mansion. There were huge crowds of people on weekdays, and people were in and out from time to time, which was very lively.

After Yao Ruoyu arrived at the entrance of the official department, the guards at the door recognized the leader of the city-state. They quickly opened the door and pointed out the location of Xu Xuanrong's work. At that moment, Yao Ruoyu walked towards it with his hands behind his back.

After walking for a while, Yao Ruoyu saw Xu Xuanrong's house from afar. Just as he was about to walk over, a woman suddenly walked up from the side of the road and frowned and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Unexpectedly, someone would not recognize him. Yao Ruoyu was stunned at first, then laughed and replied, "I'm here to find your minister, beauty, let me tell you."

"Look for our minister?" The woman was wearing a cloth clothes and holding a broom. She thought she was the sweeping maid from the Ministry of Personnel. However, seeing Yao Ruoyu's speech was lazy and his tone was frivolous, she suddenly became annoyed. She picked up the broom and swept Yao Ruoyu around and said unhappyly, "Where is the scoundrel from here? Go out quickly! Otherwise I will call someone!"

Yao Ruoyu was helplessly taking a few steps back. At this time, he was so amazed and laughed. He was the leader of the city-state, but he could not even get close to the house of the Minister of Personnel. Such a defensive force was too strong. Even if he was enough to match the powerful ones in the fifth level, it would be difficult to break through this line of defense.
