Chapter 311: 185: Hundred Martial Arts God Shadows, Martial Arts Clone? _1
In Tie Shan County, within Chang Qing Pavilion.
After weathering the storm, calm was quickly restored. Red Cat had grown larger and was lounging in the courtyard.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong were practicing diligently, drawing insights from their recent experiences.
Su Lingxiu was studying the intricacies of martial arts and alchemy. She dissected the body of a peak Great Grandmaster, seeking to uncover the mysteries of martial artists.
Zhou Ying was preparing for his transition into the Innate Realm.
Shi’er trained feverishly but had been overtaken by Zhou Ying, which he considered to be a loss of face.
After several days of excitement, Meng Shushu set out on a spirited quest for spiritual medicine. His eyes were filled with determination and before leaving, he asked Su Lingxiu if she needed any particular spiritual medicine, offering to collect it for her.
Su Lingxiu gave him the names of a few spiritual medicines and asked him to gather them if he could.
Kou Ruozhi was busy spreading the teachings of Dahua Martial Arts. He summoned more people from Dahua to the Inner Domain and held discussions with the Emperor of Wu and Emperor Qi about their rebellion plans.
They plotted how to dethrone the current ruler and replace it with Dahua.
Neither the Emperor of Wu nor Emperor Qi could ever imagine that they, as emperors, would one day conspire with someone to discuss strategies for rebellion!
If they succeeded in toppling the current kingdom and establishing Dahua in its place, Dahua would genuinely hold a position in the Inner Domain.
And they, as the two emperors of Dahua, would be credited with an achievement that would be extolled for generations. When people in the future would talk about their accomplishments, they would laud how the two emperors of Dahua skillfully plotted against the evil kingdom, ushering in a new era for Dahua in the Inner Domain.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. They spewed out plot after plot, each packed with cunning and deceit. Kou Ruozhi was taken aback listening to all their schemes.
He thought to himself, these two – Emperor Qi and the Emperor of Wu – were definitely not foolish rulers. They were well-versed in the art of rebellion – even more so than him.
Emperor Qi looked down on Kou Ruozhi, saying “As an emperor, how can you suppress rebellions or crush rebels if you don’t understand the art of rebellion?”
He was not a foolish ruler. Without some means, how could he maintain his place on the throne?
The Emperor of Wu was also a man of ambition. After he ascended the throne, he led a stable regime and toured the lands of Wu Country. If it weren’t for Meng Chong’s emergence halfway through, he would not have been confined to his palace.
Xu Junhe was dealing with sales of elixirs, discussing with Tianbao Pavilion about quickly selling the elixirs across the Inner Domain. Becoming more influential through Chang Qing Pavilion and popularizing Dahua’s principles. In all of this, cooperation with Tianbao Pavilion was indispensable.
Li Xuan suggested an equity-sharing partnership. Xu Junhe started discussing with Tianbao Pavilion about the partnership, but hinted that if Tianbao Pavilion did not agree, Chang Qing Pavilion would look for other factions to collaborate with.
They could collectively establish some sort of alliance selling ownership stakes in the elixir business.
Eventually, Tianbao Pavilion conceded, allowing Chang Qing Pavilion to take an ownership stake by offering their elixirs as an exclusive product for Tianbao Pavilion to sell. The two parties agreed to split the profits 70/30.
Tianbao Pavilion won’t control anything apart from the elixirs, but they are obliged to consistently provide the spiritual medicine necessary for alchemy.
After this negotiation, Chang Qing Pavilion formally entered Tianbao Pavilion, not as a subsidiary, but as a partner with access to its distribution channels. While Tianbao Pavilion only received part of the elixir sales profit.
Tianbao Pavilion had no jurisdiction over other affairs of Chang Qing Pavilion.
As Chang Qing Pavilion kept expanding, there might come a day when it would have complete control over Tianbao Pavilion, controlling it from behind the scenes.
With the agreement reached with Tianbao Pavilion, Chang Qing Pavilion started rapid expansion and development. At the same time, the alchemy room also began expansion, adding more alchemy production lines.
Apprentices for alchemy also came from Dahua, all carefully selected talents.
Besides the Qi Condensation Pill, Qi and Blood Pills, as well as the Healing Injury Pills, started to be sold.
The appearance of Qi and Blood Pills provided immense assistance to martial artists below the first rank. Thus, it became difficult to obtain them for a while.
Dahua was also entering its high-speed development phase. Despite there being less than a hundred martial artists who had successfully broken through to the Qi and Blood Realm, there were many at the skin, bone, and organ cultivation stages.
It wouldn’t be long before the number of Dahua martial artists began to explode.
However, in the short term, the number of Innate Realm martial artists would not see rapid growth. Not all martial artists can rely on pills for cultivation regularly.
Most martial artists use pills when they hit a bottleneck or want to break through to a new cultivation stage.
In Tie Shan County, teenagers started to practice Dahua-style martial arts. Chang Qing Pavilion also started to recruit exceptionally talented individuals to train them further and as personnel for their expansion.
At the same time, they recruited martial artists from the Inner Domain as nonstaff personnel at Chang Qing Pavilion.
The concept of Dahua was also continually instilled in the people of Tie Shan County, resulting in almost everyone in Tie Shan County harboring dreams of Dahua and considering it as the genuine lineage of heaven and earth.
They even looked down upon the Great Yue country.
The Martial Ancestor of Dahua had become the martial deity in the minds of these martial artists, with everyone wanting to become a character like him.
This trend, under the planning of Kou Ruozhi, was spreading from Tie Shan County to various areas in Lanping Prefecture, gradually engraving the concept of Dahua into people’s hearts.
Moreover, rumors spread that if you worship the Martial Ancestor of Dahua, you’ll have an easier time cultivating martial arts, it might even give you a chance to gain the favor of the Martial Ancestor of Dahua and enhance your martial arts fate.
Such rumors originated from incidents where someone started practicing Dahua martial arts, but their progress was slow, or they were unable to comprehend the cultivation technique. Then one day, after they started worshipping the Martial Ancestor of Dahua, they had a moment of enlightenment and their martial arts cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds every day…
