Chapter 197 The Four Gates

"Master Fang!"

Lu Yu noticed Fang Zhixing's gaze, nodded and smiled at him, then walked over.

He asked with a smile, "I heard that you were going to attend the exchange meeting of my Wumeng?"

Fang Zhixing continued, "Mr. Lu has invited me twice, how can I not appreciate your kindness?"

Lu Yu laughed and said, "How do you feel?"

Fang Zhixing sincerely praised: "The people in the Wumeng communicate openly and freely, and the atmosphere is very comfortable."

After hearing this, Lu Yu was very satisfied. He came closer and whispered, "I'll tell you a confidential message. Don't spread it to anyone else."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but be solemn and pricked up his ears.

Lu Yu said mysteriously, "My Wumeng has spent seven years and invested countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to finally develop a miraculous elixir. Its nourishing effect is several times more than that of the top-grade meat pill."

Fang Zhixing's mind was moved, and a look of shock appeared on his face. He asked in surprise, "Oh, really?"

Lu Yu nodded, took a deep breath and said: "Once this miraculous medicine comes out, it will definitely shock the world.

Right now, our Wumeng plans to select a group of elite members for priority training, provide them with a stable supply of panaceas, and help them soar to the sky! Oh, this opportunity is very rare, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you are interested in joining, I can help you grab a spot. "

Fang Zhixing was speechless.

Good man! I am the one who got into trouble.

It seems like this Lu Yu is trying to cheat whoever he catches.

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu. Unfortunately, I took another kind of elixir not long ago, so I can't take any elixir during this period."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said regretfully: "That's a pity, actually..."

He wanted to say something else, but Fang Zhixing didn't give him a chance and interrupted him, "Oh, by the way, I want to meet the leader, 'Butcher's Knife' Lu Zonggang, do you know where he is?"

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and replied with a smile: "The leader is a low-key person, like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. His secluded place is very mysterious, even I don't know it."

Only then will you know and understand.

Lu Yu either really didn't know or was unwilling to tell him.

In any case, this birdman Lu Yu was of no use to him.

Fang Zhixing was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy and quickly turned around and walked away.

He walked to the window and got some fresh air.

Suddenly, the gossip of several young men and women came into his ears.

"Have you heard that Miss Qianqian was summoned to the Zong family because of her outstanding talent?"

"What, Miss Qianqian left Qinghe County?"

"Well, he just left a few days ago. He left in a low profile. I just heard about it from Miss Hongqiu."

"Alas, Miss Qianqian is an elegant person. Qinghe County will lose a lot of fun without her!"

…

Fang Zhixing listened quietly, shaking his wine glass slightly.

The Luo family is one of the four major families in Danzhou, with a large family business and tens of millions of people.

It is said that the Luo family clan is entrenched in a place called "Tianluo Valley".

All the Luo family members hope that they can go to "Tianluo Valley" to practice.

However, "Tianluo Valley" is like heaven, not everyone is qualified to go there.

Even someone as strong as Luo Keji doesn't have such an opportunity.

But Luo Qianqian, that perverted girl, unexpectedly won this honor.

Fang Zhixing didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

It was actually a good thing that Luo Qianqian left Qinghe County. Fang Zhixing didn't want to meet her in any occasion anyway.

Before we knew it, the cocktail party was coming to an end.

Wu Hongqiu was walking in the crowd and suddenly gave Fang Zhixing a look.

Fang Zhixing understood what he meant and quietly left the hall with a maid.

Splash~ After a while, Fang Zhixing undressed, entered the bathtub, and with the help of two maids, took a comfortable bath.

"Someone is coming."

Less than half an hour later, his spiritual partner arrived.

Fang Zhixing nodded, then walked out of the bath, dried his body, entered the curtain, and lay down on the big bed.

Soon, a woman wearing a red mask appeared outside the curtain. She had a petite figure and skin as white as snow.

She couldn't wait to stick her head in, blinking her watery eyes, looking at Fang Zhixing with great curiosity.

“Ahem!”

The old woman sitting next to them quickly stopped him.

The red-masked woman shrank back again, stood obediently, and listened to the old woman's teachings.

When Fang Zhixing saw this, he realized that this red mask was practicing spiritual cultivation for the first time.

Because, the less experience a woman has, the more carefully the old woman will teach her.

After a while, the man in the red mask walked into the tent and sat next to Fang Zhixing.

"Please, please give me more advice."

She suddenly spoke, her voice was like an oriole, very pleasant to hear, with three parts of shyness and seven parts of excitement.

Fang Zhixing glanced at the old woman, didn't answer, just moved his head.

Unexpectedly, the red mask spoke again: "I heard from a sister that you are the best spiritual practice object, your blood and energy are extremely vigorous, and the talents of the sisters who practiced with you have all improved, and their cultivation has progressed rapidly."

The old woman finally couldn't help it and interrupted, "No communication allowed."

The red mask said "oh" and chuckled, "Sorry, I like to talk when I'm nervous and I can't stop."

Fang Zhixing burst out laughing, it turned out that she was a chatterbox.

The old woman seemed to understand Red Mask's temper and was a little helpless. She just said, "Hurry up and start."

then!

Inside the curtain, human figures were swaying and flying up and down.

A night of happiness passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye it was the next afternoon.

When Fang Zhixing was resting in the study, someone suddenly brought him an invitation.

"Lu Zonggang, the butcher of the butcher's knife!"

When Fang Zhixing saw the invitation, he was overjoyed.

The leader of the Wumeng in Qinghe County finally agreed to meet him.

"Hey, why did he invite you?"

Suddenly, Hongye came over, looked at the name on the invitation, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Fang Zhixing was surprised and asked, "Oh, do you know Lu Zonggang?"

"Not really, but I've heard the eldest lady mention him."

Hongye spoke slowly and carefully, "The Wumeng's power appears to be very scattered on the surface, but this is actually limited to the lower-level organizations. The higher up you go, the tighter the Wumeng's organization becomes.

Of course, the Wumeng is not a monolithic entity. It is mainly divided into three camps: the surrender faction, the centrists, and the rebels! "

Fang Zhixing understood it as soon as he heard it.

Traitors like Tan Lang are definitely rebels.

Lu Yu and the Luo family are in cahoots with each other, so they are naturally die-hard surrenderers.

He speculated: "Could it be that this Lu Zonggang is a centrist?"

Hongye nodded and said, "Well, Lu Zonggang is a very powerful master. Many forces have tried to win him over, but he remained unmoved."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is the relationship between Lu Zonggang and Lu Yu?"

"Of course not."

Hongye smiled and said, “Strictly speaking, Lu Zonggang represents the conservative faction of the Wumeng.

Their ideal was to spread military power throughout the world and break all prohibitions and dogmas, which was bound to cause conflict with the imperial court.

Lu Yu represented the younger generation of the Wumeng. However, he turned over a new leaf, surrendered wholeheartedly, and was highly regarded by the court.

It can be imagined that Lu Zonggang really dislikes people like Lu Yu.

In addition, Lu Yu was an outsider and should have left after participating in the 'Qinghe Martial Arts Competition', but for some reason, he had not left yet.

Lu Yu is acting so recklessly under Lu Zonggang's nose, I'm afraid that Lu Zonggang must have been unhappy."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

After making all the preparations, he left Yixiangzhai, rode his horse quickly out of the inner city, and came to the West Street of the outer city.

Following the address on the invitation, he soon arrived at Bailiu Lane.

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

However, to his surprise, this Bailiu Lane was not a residential area at all, but a slaughterhouse.

As soon as Fang Zhixing entered Bailiu Lane, he smelled a strong fishy odor.

Looking around, many butchers are busy slaughtering poultry, cutting and dismembering them, cleaning them, and sending them to the market for sale.

It’s a complete process!

Fang Zhixing dismounted and walked in.

"Brother, who are you looking for?"

A middle-aged butcher noticed Fang Zhixing and asked.

Fang Zhixing shook the invitation in his hand and replied, "I'm looking for Lu Zonggang."

The butcher's face changed slightly. He put down the knife in his hand, felt around on his body twice, took the invitation, checked it carefully, nodded and said, "Follow me."

He led Fang Zhixing straight inside and entered a shabby alley.

Soon, an open area appeared ahead.

Fang Zhixing raised his head and immediately saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, shirtless and wearing an apron, slaughtering a black cow.

Swish~ The blade was as fast as lightning, cutting into the thick cowhide, splitting the flesh and fascia, and scraping the edge of the bone.

The middle-aged man swung his sword continuously with superb skills.

In his hand, the butcher knife was wielded as easily as with his arm, with a natural flow that was beyond words.

Just like that, in a moment, the black bull was dismembered.

“Great swordsmanship!”

Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and sighed.

The middle-aged man sheathed his knife and raised his head, revealing a weathered face covered with stubble and no expression on his face.

He waved his hand.

The big brother who led the way immediately turned and left.

"Fang Maofu, right? Please take a seat."

Lu Zonggang stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, walked to the table nearby, picked up the teapot, and poured two bowls of tea.

He picked up the teacup and took two gulps.

Fang Zhixing sat opposite him and took a sip of tea symbolically.

Lu Zonggang put down the tea bowl, looked at Fang Zhixing deeply, and said, "I am a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. What do you want from me?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. Although Lu Yu introduced me here, Lu Yu and I are not actually the same kind of people."

Lu Zonggang sneered, "I don't care what your relationship with Lu Yu is. I just want to know why you went to so much trouble to find me."

Fang Zhixing replied: "I am looking for a method to transform into a demon realm, and I hope to get help from you, senior."

Lu Zonggang narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly raised his right hand, and pushed forward with a palm.

Fang Zhixing remained calm and greeted him with his hands raised.

Bang! The two palms clapped together, making a loud noise.

In an instant, a circular air wave spread out, blowing away everything around it.

All the beef that had just been cut was knocked over and rolled on the ground, making it dirty.

"The Five Animals Realm is complete!"

Lu Zonggang withdrew his hand, a look of appreciation on his face.

He exclaimed: "At your age, you have been able to advance to the perfection of the Five Animals Realm so quickly. You can be called a peerless genius."

Fang Zhixing said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, senior. I was just lucky."

Lu Zonggang thought for a moment and asked, "Which technique are you looking for? Tell me about it."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and spoke word by word: "The subsequent skills of the Tianluo Holy Blood Book."

"Oh, it's actually a technique from the Luo family!"

Lu Zonggang's expression finally changed. He seemed to have vaguely guessed Fang Zhixing's back and laughed, "With your talent and strength, you should be able to get the Luo family's key training. Why don't you go directly to the Luo family and ask for it?"

Fang Zhixing spread his hands and said helplessly: "If this path is feasible, why would I go to so much trouble to come to you?"

Lu Zonggang said with a tut: "You, young man, are quite interesting."

He thought for a moment and said in deep thought, "From what I understand, there seems to be more than one subsequent practice method of the Tianluo Holy Blood Book."

Fang Zhixing immediately pricked up his ears and listened.

Lu Zonggang explained carefully: "The person who founded the Tianluo Holy Blood Book is from the Luo family. This person is definitely a genius. He established a Holy Blood Sect and recruited many people from the martial arts world to study martial arts together, innovate, and gradually form a brand new school."

Lu Zonggang raised four fingers and said, "There are many subsequent skills in the Tianluo Holy Blood Book. The four most famous peerless martial arts are Blood Sea Magic, Blood Devouring Sword Scripture, Tianluo Blood Transformation Skill, and Blood Shadow Magic Skill."

“Four doors!!”

Fang Zhixing was greatly encouraged and asked, "How many techniques does the Wumeng have collected?"

Lu Zonggang waved his hand and said, "I don't know either. I need to check it out."

Fang Zhixing thought about it and agreed.

After all, the Martial Alliance has a huge collection of martial arts, and it is impossible for Lu Zonggang to remember them all.

He was anxious.

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "If the senior finds out, I wonder how much money I need to raise to exchange for a technique that can help me achieve the demon transformation realm?"

Lu Zonggang replied calmly: "Money is only one aspect. Haha, money can't buy everything."

Fang Zhixing said: "Please explain clearly, senior."

Lu Zonggang responded, “Normally, if you want to obtain the technique to reach the demon realm, you need to meet at least two conditions.

First, you have to make enough contributions to the Wumeng;

Second, you have to pass the assessment of the local leader, which means you have to get my consent."

Fang Zhixing's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked sincerely: "May I ask, Senior, what does this contribution refer to?"

Lu Zonggang responded: "There are many ways to contribute, for example, you can help the Wumeng with some tasks."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "What if I have a treasure, such as a level 2 weapon, and want to present it to the Martial Alliance?"

“Of course this is a contribution!”

Lu Zonggang nodded and added, "In addition, my Martial Alliance collects martial arts secrets from all over the world. You can collect some martial arts that are not available in the Martial Alliance and contribute them. This can also be considered a meritorious performance."

After hearing this, Fang Zhixing almost couldn't help but want to take out "Red Flower Secret Record" and present it to Lu Zonggang.

But he suddenly held back and said thoughtfully, "I will do my best. Besides, how can I get your consent?"
