In the bustling city, pedestrians are constantly walking on the road, making the whole city extremely lively.

On the busy street, an extremely eye-catching figure walked from the city gate and slowly walked onto the busy street.

It was a young man who looked dusty, leading a black horse and wearing two delicate and heavy swords on his waist, and he just walked straight through the street.

The young man has a handsome appearance and looks to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. Because he has been traveling for a long time, the white shirt on his body looks a little dirty, and his face also looks a little tired.

He just walked along the street, leading an old black horse, and walked slowly to the side.

"Long Shui, I'm back..."

Walking quietly on the road, looking at the scenery along the road and the busy pedestrians passing by, Chen Ming whispered to himself.

Ever since he left Heiyan Mountain that day, Chen Ming rode on horseback and rushed towards Longshui with all his strength.

The journey was not without twists and turns. As a traveler who had never traveled far in his previous life, he encountered many unexpected but reasonable troubles.

For example, if you suddenly get lost halfway through the walk and can't get out no matter how hard you walk, or if you walk for a few days, the horse doesn't know what's wrong and lies on the ground refusing to move...

All kinds of unexpected troubles appeared one after another during the journey. While Chen Ming was greatly tempered, it also greatly extended his trip.

The trip that originally only took more than half a month took him more than a month to finally arrive.

But no matter what, he finally arrived at his final destination and could complete Lu Liang's original entrustment.

When he arrived at Longshui County, Chen Ming looked at the dust all over his body and couldn't help but hesitate. Instead of going directly to Lu Mansion, he first found an inn nearby and planned to repair it there before going to complete Lu Liang's work.

Entrust.

"Sir, the hot water has been boiled and put in your room." The waiter in front of the inn's room said respectfully to Chen Ming.

"I know." Chen Ming nodded and asked the waiter in front of him to get out before walking to his room.

Although it was just a temporary inn on the roadside, the conditions of this inn were pretty good. The whole room seemed quite spacious, and the surrounding decoration was pretty good, and it looked exquisite and generous.

In the center of the room, a large wooden barrel stood quietly, with steam rising from it and a slight herbal aroma.

Looking at the room in front of him, Chen Ming did not leave to wash up. Instead, he lowered his head and looked in front of him.

Source power:61.48

Martial Arts: The fifth level of Linyuan Sword Technique, Hunyuan Jin (can be improved), Hengjue Palm (can be improved)

The familiar Yuanli interface appears in front of you, but compared with more than a month ago, the data on the interface is much more gorgeous now.

During this period of more than a month, Chen Ming did not do anything during his free time on the road.

The two secret books he had obtained from Liu Bao and his group had been studied by him during this period, but he had not yet used his source power to improve them.

It wasn't until he arrived at Longshui County and was about to go to the Lu Mansion, where he was likely to have a head-on collision with Xie Mei, that he opened the source power interface on himself again.

"More than sixty points of source power should be enough..."

Looking at the source power numbers in front of him, this thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and then he shifted his gaze and looked gently at Hengjue Palm.

"promote!"

As his mind moved, a little purple light began to flicker, and then a warm current rose from Chen Ming's body, slowly covering Chen Ming's whole body.

The next moment, Chen Ming felt that his palms were as hot as fire, and a strong and powerful feeling rose from his palms, making the color of his palms seem to become slightly darker, and then

And it quickly recovered under the influence of source power.

"efficient!"

Feeling the powerful feeling coming from his palms, Chen Ming was convinced, and then he continued to improve without hesitation.

The first level of Hengjue Palm!

Second floor!

the third floor!

The fourth floor!

Regarding the improvement of Hengjue Palm, it is not that Chen Ming does not want to continue to improve, but the Hengjue Palm obtained by Chen Ming only has four levels in total. If he wants to continue to improve, he will need to use the deduction function.

.

As for Yuanli's deduction function, Chen Ming didn't want to use it too much at the moment.

Although he had only used it once, due to some instinctive reaction derived from supernatural powers, Chen Ming also understood something about the situation of the deduction function.

Compared with ordinary improvement, the source power's deduction function actually consumes a lot more source power.

This can be seen from the improvement of Linyuan's sword skills.

It only took less than five points of source power to upgrade Linyuan Sword Technique from the third level to the fourth level, but it took more than twenty points to deduce Linyuan Sword Technique from the fourth level to the fifth level.

Source force.

The difference between these two is truly terrifying.

So now Chen Ming doesn't want to use the deduction function of his powers unless necessary.

Hengjue Palm is just an ordinary palm technique, far less sophisticated than the Linyuan Sword Technique taught by Lu Qi, and it is not worth Chen Ming's energy to deduce.

For Chen Ming, the amount of energy consumed to reach the peak of Hengjue Palm was not too much. It only took close to ten points, and there were still more than fifty points left.

Looking at the remaining source power, Chen Ming did not hesitate at all and looked directly at another technique that had not yet been improved.

Hunyuan Jin! Improvement!

More intense warmth surged up all over his body, making Chen Ming's skin turn rosy in an instant, and then quickly became more serious. His whole body looked as if he was being roasted in a stove, and looked red.

of.

A vague force emerged in Chen Ming's body, surging continuously in Chen Ming's body like a stream of air, slowly flowing through his body with blood circulation.

This flow of air was very light. If Chen Ming's sensitivity to the body wasn't extremely strong at this moment, he might have thought it was an illusion.

"So weak?"

Feeling the air surging throughout his body, Chen Ming frowned, and then continued to improve without any hesitation.

Second floor! Third floor! Fourth floor! Fifth floor! Sixth floor!!

boom!!!

A violent shock came from all over his body. It was like a bomb suddenly exploding, causing Chen Ming's whole body to ripple.

In an instant, Chen Ming's skin quickly turned red, and lines of faint red blood vessels continued to emerge on his body, making him look very scary at the moment.

The majestic blood energy burst out uncontrollably. In the next moment, the changes in Chen Ming's body disappeared, and the dense blood vessels all over his body quickly faded away and returned to their original appearance.

However, in Chen Ming's body, the air flow that was originally only vaguely visible and could not be sensed without careful observation suddenly expanded dozens of times, and suddenly changed from a dry stream to a majestic river. The changes were as follows

The difference between cloud and mud.

"Is this inner energy?"

Feeling the air flow continuously flowing with the blood in his body, Chen Ming waved his hand, and then with a thought, a flow of air from his body was spontaneously drawn and attached to his palm, making his palm look as crystal clear as jade.

Generally fair and good-looking.

"It looks good, but the consumption is a bit high..."

Feeling the changes on his body, Chen Ming frowned and his face looked a little ugly.

The practice of Hunyuan Jin was far more expensive than he imagined.

At this moment, in order to improve this Hunyuan Jin, all the source power in his body has been exhausted.

More than fifty points of source power were all exhausted at this moment, and only six levels of Hunyuan Jin were raised.

This is far from reaching the peak of Hunyuan Jin.

Because unlike the external skills such as Linyuan Sword Technique, the internal skill of Hunyuan Jin has nine levels of skills.

Chen Ming wants to push this technique to its peak, but he doesn't know how much energy it will ultimately cost.

"I thought I was already rich, but I didn't expect that I was still a pauper..."

Looking at the few numbers left on the Yuanli interface, Chen Ming showed a wry smile, then shook his head, not thinking about it, but walked directly to the center of the room, ready to wash up.

After washing up, he changed his clothes, then left the room, quietly ordered a table of food, and ate quietly in the corner of the inn, enjoying the rare tranquility alone.

The days of survival in the wilderness are too uncomfortable. These days, Chen Ming usually eats the wild animals that he has brought. There is no seasoning, no salt, and sometimes it cannot even be roasted. The taste is amazing.

It's hard to describe in words.

Because of this more than a month of trekking, Chen Ming just entered the city and was looking for an inn to have a good meal.

"Is the matter at Longshui Escort not over yet?" A voice came from the side, instantly attracting Chen Ming's attention.

Sitting in the corner, Chen Ming was startled when he heard the sound, then turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

In that direction, two men wearing black robes were chatting.

The two men were young and middle-aged. The black robe worn by the middle-aged man seemed familiar to Chen Ming. It seemed to be the attire of an escort from the Longshui Escort Agency.

"I don't know what's going on..."

Sitting in front of the wooden table, the middle-aged bodyguard sighed softly: "Since more than a month ago, the bodyguard agency has been killing people. I heard that even the bodyguard leader Zhang disappeared two days ago. I don't know what the situation is now...
To be continued...
