Chapter 154: Breaking the Limit

"Young Master, what is this Breaking the Limit Pill?"

Fang Zhixing took the black brocade box solemnly, his face full of curiosity.

Luo Keji replied: "As the name suggests, this pill can quickly increase one's strength and break through realms in a short period of time after taking it, but the specific effects vary from person to person.

For people with lower potential, the effects may only last for two to three months.

But for martial arts prodigies with higher potential, the effect may last for as long as a year.

With your age and talent, after taking this Limit Breaking Pill, your strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds in the next year, and you may even be able to reach the perfection of the Five Animals Realm."

When Fang Zhixing heard this, an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face and he thanked him profusely.

Soon, he walked out of the room, holding the black brocade box in his hand, looking thoughtful.

The dog ran over, sniffed it, and asked in a voice transmission, "What is that?"

Fang Zhixing repeated Luo Keji's introduction.

After hearing this, Xigou smacked his lips and said, "Is this true? Aristocratic families have such a good thing as the Limit Breaking Pill? If everyone eats one, wouldn't everyone have a chance to become a peerless master?"

“It may not be a good thing.”

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "When Luo Keji gave me the Limit Breaking Pill, I observed Wen Yulin's reaction intentionally or unintentionally. He did not feel the slightest bit of envy or jealousy towards me, and he did not show the slightest greed for the Limit Breaking Pill."

The thin dog blinked his eyes, pricked up his ears and said, "Perhaps, Wen Yulin also has a Limit Breaking Pill, and he doesn't think highly of the one in your hand."

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "This thing seems to be very valuable, and not something that ordinary people can easily obtain."

Xigou was speechless and said, "Well, why do you care about Wen Yulin? Is there anything about him that is worthy of your attention?"

Fang Zhixing said seriously: "Think carefully, why did Luo Keji ask me to go to Yunmeng Villa instead of Wen Yulin who has followed him for many years?"

Xigou responded, "Luo Tiantai might know Wen Yulin. If he goes to Yunmeng Villa, won't he be exposed?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "From Luo Tiantai's reaction, he didn't know he was drugged at first, and he didn't realize it until the poison took effect.

In other words, if Wen Yulin had gone instead, the result would have been the same, nothing would have changed, but the credit would have nothing to do with me."

Xigou couldn't help but shudder, and responded: "You mean, from the murder of Luo Tiantai to this Limit Breaking Pill, it was all deliberately arranged by Luo Keji?"

Fang Zhixing closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

He opened his eyes and analyzed carefully: "Assuming that all this is a plan made by Luo Keji in advance, then, after I take the Limit Breaking Pill, my strength will increase rapidly, but what will happen after I become stronger?"

Xigou thought for a moment and replied, "Luo Keji might ask you to do something, and that thing is beyond your ability to do with your current strength."

Fang Zhixing agreed with this and said thoughtfully, "It is highly likely that Luo Keji wants me to kill someone, and it is not convenient for Luo Keji to kill that person."

Xigou said speechlessly: "If that's the case, Luo Keji is definitely not a wise leader. He will kill you sooner or later."

Just at this moment.

Wen Yulin also walked out of the room.

Fang Zhixing immediately stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Wen."

Wen Yulin looked at Fang Zhixing, smiled but didn't really smile, and said calmly: "Oh, congratulations, Brother Fang, not only have you made a great contribution, but you have also received a generous reward."

Fang Zhixing said: "Oh, what great achievement? It was all just luck. If it was Brother Wen who did it, the credit would be all yours. How could I have anything to do with it?"

He looked at the black brocade box in his hand and sighed, "Alas, to be honest, I really feel a little unworthy of it. Brother Wen, why don't I give you the Limit Breaking Pill? You are the eldest master's true confidant, and you should be the one to receive the reward."

Wen Yulin laughed in silence, saying playfully, "What the eldest master gave you is yours. If I take your reward, how can it be considered robbery?"

After that, he waved his hand and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Fang Zhixing and Xigou looked at each other.

“There’s a problem!”

Xigou observed the expression and said decisively: "There is definitely something wrong with this Limit Breaking Pill."

Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stuffed the black brocade box into his arms.

The night passed quickly and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

In the morning, after Fang Zhixing had breakfast, he asked Wen Yulin and learned that there was nothing to do that day.

So he asked Luo Keji for permission, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk and get familiar with the environment in the inner city.

Luo Keji agreed readily.

A man and a dog went out shopping.

Before they knew it, they had entered Tianbao Street, the most prosperous street in the inner city.

This street is famous for having a prestigious "Tianbao Chamber of Commerce".

Fang Zhixing entered the lobby of Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and asked the receptionist if there was any "Blood Orchid" for sale.

"Blood orchid, we have it in stock, how many would you like to buy?"

The saleslady standing behind the counter answered with a sweet smile.

"Wow, there really is blood orchid!!"

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but be overjoyed.

To be honest, when he was in Qinglin County, Chen Ping purchased blood orchid through multiple channels, but never received any response.

I never expected that in the county town, blood orchid seemed to be just an ordinary thing and could be bought immediately if you had money.

then!

[3. Collect 10 blood orchids (completed)]

Then, Fang Zhixing bought a newest map.

"Hey, there's a level 3 restricted area fifty miles away from the county town!"

Fang Zhixing spread out the map and looked at it carefully, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

The dog replied, "That's great, we can go there and come back quickly."

Fang Zhixing also wanted to go to the restricted area early to complete the hunting mission, but he quickly calmed himself down.

He groaned and said, "No hurry, wait until everything settles down."

Xigou did not object. After thinking for a while, he reminded: "The headquarters of Tieshanmen is also in the county city, right? You are also a master of incense after all. Do you want to go and recognize the sect?"

Fang Zhixing had exactly this idea, so he immediately inquired about the specific location of Tieshanmen’s headquarters and then headed to the eastern district of the inner city.

After a moment, a grand gate came into Fang Zhixing's sight.

"The Iron Mountain Gate headquarters is indeed magnificent."

Fang Zhixing stood outside the gate and observed casually for a while, and found that the Tieshanmen headquarters was at least ten times larger than the Weapon Casting Hall. It was magnificent and majestic.

He walked forward and showed his identity token to the guard.

The guard took the token, looked at it carefully for a while, then ran to look through the roster to verify.

After a while, the guard came back with a look of doubt on his face and replied coldly: "I have checked again and again, and there is no such person! You are not the incense master of my Iron Mountain Gate at all!"

Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Brother, who dares to cheat in such a matter? I am the incense master of the Qinglin County Weapon Casting Hall. The hall master Lu Anfu wrote a letter of recommendation to the headquarters not long ago, requesting that I be issued a third-level meat pill."

After hearing this, the guard had to be cautious and responded, "Wait a moment, I'll go to the Internal Affairs Office to check again."

He turned and ran, and only came back after a full cup of tea.

"Still no such person exists!"

The guard got angry and said impatiently: "Don't bother me. I've asked several times, but no one has ever heard of you."

Fang Zhixing fell silent, his brows gradually twisted into a knot.

Xigou was also confused and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Lu Anfu didn't report your affairs to the headquarters at all?"

Fang Zhixing squinted at Xi Gou and said with a tense face, "Do you think Lu Anfu dares to play tricks on me like this?"

The dog smacked his lips and said, "Lu Anfu really doesn't dare to mess with you, but if Lu Anfu had already reported you to the headquarters, why couldn't you find such a person?"

Fang Zhixing's heart was in turmoil and he smelled a strange scent.

"Let's go back first."

The man and the dog stopped making a fuss and returned to Yixiangzhai.

As soon as he arrived, Wen Yulin came up to him and brought him three things.

A carrier pigeon!

A porcelain bottle!

Wen Yulin said with his hands behind his back, "This porcelain bottle contains thirty third-grade top-grade flesh pills. If you eat one every day, it will be enough for a month of cultivation."

Fang Zhixing paused for a moment, his heart shaken.

You must know that this is a third-level meat pill, and it is the best quality and extremely precious.

Lu Anfu once said that the head of Tieshanmen was not qualified to enjoy the third-level superior quality meat pill, and could only get the third-level mid-quality meat pill at most.

Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is this carrier pigeon?"

Wen Yulin said calmly: "You keep it first, it will be useful in the future."

Then he turned and left without explaining a single word.

Fang Zhixing looked at the bird cage and the porcelain bottle silently for a long time.

The thin dog smacked his lips and said, "What on earth is going on? I am getting more and more confused."

Fang Zhixing couldn't understand it either, so he sat down with an uncertain expression on his face.

Two days passed quickly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The county magistrate officially announced the promotion of Luo Keji to the commander-in-chief of the navy.

Luo Keji finally got what he wanted and immediately called Fang Zhixing and others over.

He said bluntly: "From now on, I will go to the navy camp to take charge, and you will go with me.

However, this Yixiangzhai is also one of my private properties, so I need to leave someone here to take care of it."

As he spoke, Luo Keji turned his head, his eyes fell on Fang Zhixing, and ordered: "You stay."

Fang Zhixing's mind was moved, and he immediately responded, "As you command."

Afterwards, Luo Keji took Wen Yulin and others to move quickly and moved into the navy camp.

Before leaving, Luo Keji gave Fang Zhixing two things.

One of them was a title deed to Yixiangzhai.

There was an unfamiliar name written on the deed, Fang Maofu.

Luo Keji warned: "This is your new name. From now on, you will be called Fang Maofu and regard yourself as the host of the temple."

"……yes!"

Fang Zhixing's expression changed.

But Luo Keji did not give any explanation and then handed over the second thing.

It was a key ring with two keys on it.

"Here is the key to the study."

After saying this, Luo Keji mounted his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.

Fang Zhixing watched them leave and put away the title deed and keys.

Afterwards, he made some inquiries and learned that the navy camp was not in the inner city, but was built on the bank of the Qingshui River, about ten miles away from the outer city.

In other words, he and Luo Keji and others were separated.

Seeing this, Xigou was very confused and couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "What's going on? Why didn't Luo Keji take you with him and gave you a new name?"

Fang Zhixing raised his lips and said, "Remember in Naruto, there was an organization called Root in the Hokage Village?

If I am not mistaken, I have now become Luo Keji's root, and I will do some dirty work for him in the future."

Xigou was speechless and said, "What does that mean? Will he let you be a killer and do murder and arson for him, or do illegal things?"

"That's about it."

Fang Zhixing looked determined, then turned around and went back to Yixiangzhai and entered the study.

He used one of the keys to unlock the study door.

But the second key, obviously different from the first, is not a spare key.

But Fang Zhixing walked around the study and found nothing. He tried several boxes in the room, but none of them were locked and could be opened directly.

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "Little dog, smell the smell in the house carefully."

"good!"

The thin dog responded and walked away with his head down.

"Fang Zhixing, come here quickly!"

The dog sniffed around and suddenly stopped and shouted, "There is a strong smell on this row of bookshelves, which means Luo Keji often comes to this place."

Fang Zhixing walked over quickly and looked around. The bookshelf was against the wall and there were many books on it.

Suddenly, he noticed that the cover of one of the books had a fresh sheen of oil on it.

"This book has been touched recently..."

Fang Zhixing quickly moved the book away, and immediately a keyhole appeared on the wall behind him.

"It looks like there's a secret room."

Fang Zhixing inserted the key skillfully and turned it clockwise.

Boom! The bookshelf moved sideways, and a crack appeared on the wall behind it.

What came into view was a secret door.

Fang Zhi walked in, looked up, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble violently.

There were ten rows of bookshelves in the secret room, and right in front of each row of bookshelves, there was an animal totem carved.

These ten animals correspond to the totems of five animals for men and women in the Five Animals Realm.

The bookshelf was piled with thick books, all of which were martial arts secrets.

Fang Zhixing first walked towards the Giant Bear bookshelf and flipped through it casually. In addition to the "Heavenly Evil Blood Sea Kung Fu" and "Heavenly Silkworm Tyrant Power" and other martial arts, there were also many secret manuals that Fang Zhixing had never seen before.

The same is true for the other nine rows of bookshelves, where the skills are piled up like a vast ocean.

What is even more valuable is that there is a row of Baohu bookshelves here, which contain the "Balance Series" martial arts secrets that Fang Zhixing has always dreamed of.

Absolutely amazing!

This place is simply a treasure trove of martial arts! The man and the dog looked at each other and were greatly shocked.

Luo Keji is quite generous!

This is a generous gift left to Fang Zhixing, and its value is beyond imagination.

"I'm afraid that the martial arts secrets collected at the Iron Mountain Gate headquarters are not as many as here!"

Fang Zhixing was amazed and suddenly felt that the Tieshanmen headquarters was not so attractive anymore.

"Master!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a woman's delicate voice calling out.

Fang Zhi walked out of the secret room and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a young girl, 1.75 meters tall, with fair skin, beautiful features and an elegant appearance.

"Who are you?"

Fang Zhixing had never seen this young girl before and felt very strange about her.

Just looking at her appearance and figure, she is very pleasing to the eyes and a feast for the eyes.

The girl bowed and smiled softly, "My name is Hongye. According to the eldest master's order, I am now the host's maid."

Fang Zhixing understood that Hongye was also the person arranged by Luo Keji to stay.

That's right, how could Luo Keji leave such a huge Yixiangzhai to Fang Zhixing alone without any worries?

Fang Zhixing asked quickly, "Does the eldest master have any other instructions for you?"

Hongye replied, "The eldest master said that if there are guests coming to stay, I will be responsible for receiving them, and everything else will be up to you to arrange."

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Help me move first. I will live in the study from now on."
