The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#117 - Not to the extent that

Lu Jing never expected this.

He left the city as a second-rate martial artist, but when he returned, he had become a first-rate master.

Moreover, he used his Qinggong to run back the thirty miles in one breath, and when he checked at the city gate, he found that his internal energy hadn't decreased at all.

He couldn't help but feel increasingly chilled!

After the Ren and Du meridians are opened, internal energy will be as endless as a stream, which is common knowledge in the martial world, but Lu Jing was not sure whether other people's internal energy would circulate as quickly as his own.

This was no longer a stream, but a river!

And even though he couldn't absorb the vitality of heaven and earth at all, internal energy was still continuously generated from his dantian! This once again challenged the law of conservation of energy.

The internal energy that Lu Jing consumed along the way by using Qinggong was basically replenished in the next second.

This recovery speed was simply despairing!

This was going to kill him!

Just as Lu Jing was sighing, he happened to run into Zhao Banshan and a group of镖师 from the Tianma Escort Agency.

Judging from their appearance, although they were dressed neatly, they were not escorting any goods, and they were riding horses as if they were planning to leave the city in a hurry.

Zhao Banshan, who was at the front, was old, but his eyes were sharp. After seeing Lu Jing, he grabbed the reins and stopped his horse.

Seeing this, Lu Jing reluctantly cheered up and stepped forward to salute.

"Old Master Zhao, what a refined interest. Leaving the city so early, are you going hunting in the nearby mountains?"

"No," Zhao Banshan shook his head, "I just heard that there were long howls coming from nearby villages, for a full cup of tea's time, incessant. I think a martial artist has leaped over the dragon gate and successfully opened the Ren and Du meridians, advancing to the first-rate realm.

"It has been a long time since a first-rate master has appeared in邬江City, this is a top-notch event, and I, old man, naturally want to pay a visit."

Zhao Banshan seemed to remember something halfway through his words, his expression froze, "Young侠 Lu, you are returning from outside the city, right? Could it be that you have already met that expert…"

"No, but if Old Master Zhao and the friends from the Changfeng Escort Agency are leaving the city for this reason, then there is no need to go anymore," Lu Jing said with a wry smile.

"What does Young侠 Lu mean by this?" Zhao Banshan was a little dazed when he heard this, but then a flash of light appeared in his eyes, and he said in horror.

"The person who made the howling sound was you! You have opened the Ren and Du meridians and entered the first-rate realm?!"

"That's right, it was me."

This was the disadvantage of being too famous.

Even Kui, who came to邬江City for the first time, could recognize Lu Jing, let alone the villagers living near邬江City.

So many people heard his howling sound, so he definitely couldn't deny it.

Zhao Banshan would know it was him as soon as he inquired in the village.

So Lu Jing didn't hide it.

The group of镖师 from the Tianma Escort Agency couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

They found that as long as they saw this Young俠 Lu, they could always easily take a breath of cold air.

But there was no way, who told this Young俠 Lu to always do some things that were too amazing.

The last time they saw him, he killed贺卿, the Yama of the Earth Fiend Ranking sixty-ninth by himself, and this time they met again, he had already become a first-rate master.

A first-rate master under the age of twenty, what was this concept?

Except for that Woman俠 Yan of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, this was probably the youngest first-rate master in the world!

Even Zhao Banshan, who had seen countless storms in his life, was almost shocked and fell off his horse when he heard Lu Jing's answer.

"It really is you!"

"Forty-six years old," Zhao Banshan sighed, "I practiced martial arts when I was young, and my master said that my roots were outstanding and that I was a martial arts genius, one in a million. After that, I practiced my skills every day and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, but it wasn't until I was over half a hundred years old that I stumbled across that threshold.

"You are almost thirty years faster than me!"

Seeing that Lu Jing seemed to want to say something, Zhao Banshan waved his hand again and continued, "And I heard that in the past two years, your teacher has found four more teachers for you to specifically consolidate the four basic skills. In that case, hey, didn't you not work hard to cultivate internal energy?"

"I didn't want to," Lu Jing said sincerely.

But his heartfelt words sounded so annoying to the ears of the people around him.

Even Old Master Zhao, who always had a good temper, couldn't help but clench the horse whip in his hand when he heard this.

Listen, is this human language?!

While the two were talking, a large group of martial artists rushed to the city gate, including many of Lu Jing's acquaintances, such as Hall Master Huang of the Sanhu Hall, Protector Yin, and other gang leaders and sect masters of other large and small forces.

Living in the same city, Lu Jing had mostly met them once.

It looked quite grand.

Needless to say, these people were all here for the howling sound thirty miles away.

Many of them didn't get along well with each other on weekdays, so they didn't make an appointment in advance.

The main reason was that everyone received the news at about the same time.

So the time they took action was also very similar, and in the end, they all gathered together.

After seeing Zhao Banshan and Lu Jing, these people also swarmed forward to salute the two, and said in a hubbub.

"Old Master Zhao, Young俠 Lu, are you also going to find that expert?"

"That's the first-rate realm, it's been more than ten years since a first-rate master has appeared in our邬江City!"

"Too powerful, it is said that the howling sound shook the four fields, and startled the birds in the sky to fall, and the fish in the river were also scared into the bottom of the river!"

"Not only that, I heard that when the howling sound rang, there was an echo in the dry well of the Martial Temple."

"…Ah, this is too exaggerated, it's not that bad," the person involved said awkwardly.

"What, Young俠 Lu, were you nearby at the time?"

"Do you know who that person is?"

"…………"

Just as everyone was arguing, a person with a red scarf on his head ran in quickly from outside, shouting, "Gang Leader, I found it, I found it."

Judging from that person's attire, everyone recognized that he was a member of the Flying Fish Gang. There were many fishermen by the river in this gang, so the news outside the city was always relatively well-informed.

And that person ran over at this critical moment, so it goes without saying who he was referring to when he said he found it.

Everyone was waiting for him to announce the answer, but he took a few steps and suddenly stood there, "Gang Leader, you…you already know?"

"What do I know?" Gang Leader Fan of the Flying Fish Gang said anxiously, "You should quickly say who the person is, I haven't seen you like to play tricks like this usually!"

"Who else could it be, isn't it the person standing in front of you?" Zhao Banshan, who was on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, snorted and said directly.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then there was a large sound of gasping for air!

Thank you to Floating Life Summer and other children's shoes for the reward~
