125: Chapter 125 Ancient Martial Artists
Everything...
...was proceeding in full swing and in an orderly manner.
After Zhao Feiyu contacted Sister Lang...
...Sister Lang personally brought people over from Yunduan City.
Moreover, those she brought were all elites trained by the Security Group.
Meanwhile, Zhao Feiyu immediately returned to his room under the pretext of resting.
The events that occurred today were truly full of twists and turns.
But what concerned Zhao Feiyu the most...
...were still the two Buddha eyes from the previous fake Buddha head.
After all, Zhao Feiyu had already seen through the secret of the real Buddha head using his Golden Pupils.
It was nothing surprising.
However, those two so-called Golden Elixirs had greatly shocked Zhao Feiyu.
"Just who is that Tang Haichuan? And what use do these two Golden Elixirs have?"
While Zhao Feiyu was lost in thought...
...he focused once more to sense the condition within his body.
Ever since he swallowed that Sheep Dung Bead...
...Zhao Feiyu clearly felt that his strength and constitution had been significantly enhanced.
Furthermore, about nine-tenths of the energy contained in that Sheep Dung Bead remained accumulated in his body.
Just then, Zhao Feiyu suddenly discovered...
...that the Xuan Yu Vajra Art he obtained through the Skill Cashback could actually begin to circulate under his control.
This magical scene reminded Zhao Feiyu of images from martial arts novels.
Moreover, as the Xuan Yu Vajra Art circulated, the energy accumulated in his body was also stirred.
It was then absorbed, continuing to strengthen Zhao Feiyu's constitution and power.
"What a miraculous skill!"
Zhao Feiyu secretly rejoiced.
At the same time, by checking his own information, Zhao Feiyu also saw a strength level similar to Tang Yinger's.
[Host: Zhao Feiyu]
[Strength: Mid-stage Bright Strength]
[Assets: 152,201Y]
[Skills: Golden Pupils, Xuan Yu Vajra Art]
...
"I wonder how these strength levels are actually classified!"
Zhao Feiyu composed his thoughts.
He immediately thought of Yuan Lingzhi.
During the auction, that Tang Yinger seemed to know Yuan Lingzhi.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feiyu immediately called for Yuan Lingzhi.
"Sister Lingzhi!"
Inside the room, Zhao Feiyu brewed a cup of tea for Yuan Lingzhi and asked directly.
"I was wondering, what exactly is your relationship with that Tang Yinger?"
"I met Tang Yinger when my father and I went to Tianhai City once. We were browsing an antique market, and I took a fancy to a jade pendant, which Tang Yinger also happened to have her eye on!"
Yuan Lingzhi thought for a moment, recalling the situation from back then.
"So I let her have the jade pendant, and we've been acquainted ever since."
"Because my father was a disciple of the former top official of Tianhai City, later at a banquet, I saw Tang Yinger's grandfather. He seemed to have a very good relationship with the top official of Tianhai City, and the official even seemed to treat him with extreme respect."
"Because of my connection with Tang Yinger, she made an introduction. From then on, the top official of Tianhai City held my father in high regard. It was with his support that my father later became the current Second-in-command of Yunduan City!"
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu understood the relationship between them.
"In other words, even the top official of Tianhai City treats Tang Yinger's grandfather with extreme respect!"
"It seems so. Although Yinger's grandfather only made a brief appearance at that banquet, the powerful figures there, led by the top official of Tianhai City, were all extremely reverent!"
"We hadn't met again since then, until yesterday!"
Zhao Feiyu nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know what Bright Strength is, and what Hidden Strength is?"
"Isn't that the level classification for Ancient Martial Artists?"
Yuan Lingzhi asked suspiciously.
"How do you know about this?"
"I just heard it from someone else!"
Zhao Feiyu made up an excuse on the fly.
"What are the origins and background of these Ancient Martial Artists?"
"They are simply practitioners of ancient martial arts!"
Yuan Lingzhi explained.
"This is also what my father told me after I returned from Tianhai City that time."
"Ancient Martial Artists have clear level classifications: Bright Strength, Hidden Strength, Transforming Strength, Elixir Strength, and A type of internal force. I don't know what comes after that!"
Yuan Lingzhi's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Zhao Feiyu.
Combined with those so-called Golden Elixirs from before...
...Zhao Feiyu guessed they might be precious items used to raise an Ancient Martial Artist's level.
"By the way, how is the progress on the gold mine?"
Zhao Feiyu quickly changed the subject to prevent Yuan Lingzhi from thinking too much.
"The gold mine is progressing very smoothly. The situation abroad has stabilized, and mining has already begun!"
Yuan Lingzhi picked up her teacup, blew gently, and took a sip of tea.
But just as she was putting the cup down...
...she accidentally knocked it over.
"Careful!"
Almost subconsciously...
...Zhao Feiyu reached out and caught the cup in mid-air, preventing it from shattering.
The scalding tea drenched Zhao Feiyu's right hand.
But to Zhao Feiyu's surprise...
...he felt absolutely nothing from the scalding tea.
"Are you okay?"
Yuan Lingzhi quickly crouched down and took out a tissue to wipe Zhao Feiyu's hand.
In the next moment, Zhao Feiyu's eyes suddenly widened.
Because from this angle...
...a patch of snowy white was revealed at Yuan Lingzhi's neckline.
It made Zhao Feiyu feel as if he were standing atop a snowy mountain peak.
Seeing that Zhao Feiyu had suddenly gone silent...
...Yuan Lingzhi slowly looked up.
Only to find Zhao Feiyu staring at her neckline.
Yuan Lingzhi quickly looked down, immediately covered her neckline, and looked bashful.
This scene made Zhao Feiyu think of the auction today.
The scene where Zhao Feiyu had also suddenly stared at her neckline.
"Could it be..."
A sudden thought made Yuan Lingzhi's heart race.
"This guy, having one thing while eyeing another, he's truly shameless!"
"Ahem! That..."
Zhao Feiyu awkwardly turned his head to look elsewhere.
"Does it look good?"
The corners of Yuan Lingzhi's mouth curled up slightly into a playful smile.
"Yeah, it looks good!"
Zhao Feiyu answered as if possessed.
"You really are a playboy, having a little girlfriend in Yunduan City and a Main Wife here in Jiangbei."
Yuan Lingzhi stretched out a finger and placed it under Zhao Feiyu's chin.
The scene looked as if she were flirting with him.
"And your relationship with that Little Girl outside isn't ordinary either, is it? Seeing how close you two are, you've definitely slept together, haven't you?"
"Tell me, what would your Main Wife think if I told her all of this?"
"Sister Lingzhi, please stop joking with me."
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feiyu brushed Yuan Lingzhi's finger away, but a second later, her finger was back under his chin.
"Who's joking with you?"
Yuan Lingzhi said with feigned seriousness.
"I've got you where I want you now. If you're a good boy and listen to me, I might keep your secret. But if you don't..."
"And what if I don't?"
Zhao Feiyu suddenly stood up, grabbed Yuan Lingzhi's arm, and pulled her into his embrace.
