Chapter 98 Reassignment of Tasks, The Path of the Martial World, Suppressing the Dragon
Lin Zhuo's statement that he wanted to make progress together with Shu Yuliu was not just a polite remark.
Learning by analogy is an essential part of learning, and besides, although Shu Yuliu is not good at fighting, he is full of the enthusiasm and inspiration of a beginner.
I benefited greatly from sparring with her. It should be said that Shu Yuliu's way of dance and music can bring great inspiration to any martial artist who has achieved mastery.
"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Sister." After the fight ended, the two clasped their hands in a fist salute to each other.
Lin Zhuo thanked him sincerely. Shu Yuliu found it quite interesting that these two people from the future, with their technological backgrounds, were using ancient etiquette, creating a kind of immersive role-playing experience. So he kept grinning and acting all serious.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. When will you break through your Qi Control Technique, Senior Brother?"
According to veteran players in the online discussion group, the perfect state of the Qi Control Technique allows for extremely delicate control over true qi, simulating the qi circulation route of any martial art, making it the authentic source of all martial arts.
The Supreme Dragon Transformation technique can simultaneously condense four types of true energy without any weaknesses or deficiencies, making it suitable for internal strength, martial arts, and lightness skills.
Both hard skills and special techniques can improve the efficiency of cultivation. Unless it's a talismanic supernatural power like the "Hidden Dragon Pot," which is completely different from ordinary martial arts.
"It will probably take some more time to work things out; things that happen naturally can't be rushed."
Lin Zhuo has now learned to say "no rush" and he still practices martial arts every day. It's not that he's in a hurry to gain power, but simply because he likes martial arts itself.
Shu Yuliu was already drenched in sweat from exhaustion, and Lin Zhuo felt too embarrassed to insist that she spar with him. So, they sat together and chatted, reminiscing about their experiences during their separation and discussing their future plans. Qingde and Tie Yingjie, the two cat lovers, were also listening in. Although they didn't quite understand the players' slang and game terminology, they were impressed and pretended to nod and ponder.
"Senior Brother, how many medicinal herbs are missing from your spirit wine?"
"Thirty-four more are still missing."
Zhu Baixuan shared the list of medicinal herbs in the team channel. He and Shu Yuliu had been going around doing a lot of side quests these days, such as [Where are the medicinal herbs?], [Spiritual Turtle Dew], [Good prescriptions and rare medicines], etc. They had already collected all the most precious main ingredients, and were only missing some auxiliary materials.
Lin Zhuo was also missing the taste of the spirit wine. Just reminiscing about it made his mouth water. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Demonic Sect's treasury can get twenty-nine of them. I'll bring them over then."
Zhu Baixuan nodded, "Yes, don't worry about the remaining five. We can collect them along the way."
"We only have half the time left in the instance, it's getting a bit tight. I plan to go to the Western Regions to withdraw money and trigger the Demonic Cult's destruction storyline. I can't worry about the Beggars' Sect side quest for now. I think we'll have to split up."
Lin Zhuo glanced at his teammates' expressions. Zhu Baixuan, who looked like a black-and-white child, still had his face hidden in his hood and couldn't be seen clearly. Jin Xiaohu was enjoying the fan and back massage from his cat servant, his little face full of contentment. When Shu Yuliu saw his gaze coming over, he just blinked and tilted his head with a smile.
Seeing that no one offered any suggestions, Lin Zhuo asked, "Would it be alright for Senior Brother to take charge of the Beggars' Sect side quests?"
"No problem." Zhu Baixuan nodded. "Xiao Mao and I will go to Shuanghe Prefecture, and we'll take Xiao Tie and Xiao De with us. You and Xiao Shu will go to the Western Desolate Region. This arrangement is the best."
Jin Xiaohu raised his paw: "I swear to follow Boss Panda to the death!"
Shu Yuliu raised a scissor-like sign to the corner of her eye, snapped a few pictures, and grinned, shouting, "Yay! It's my turn to ride in the trailer!"
Although Tie Yingjie and Qingde were lured away by Lin Zhuo, they did not refuse the arrangements. Firstly, Zhu Baixuan and Jin Xiaohu were trustworthy, and secondly, they originally planned to go to Shuanghe Prefecture to provide assistance to the disaster area and did not intend to change their route midway.
The players casually chatted about the overall plot and details of the Beggars' Sect side quests.
The floods in Shuanghe Province were not only caused by short-term heavy rainfall due to climate, but also involved the complex local river and lake environment and historical factors. The dikes in Qiandi County, which were affected by the disaster, had long been neglected and were secretly sabotaged by people with ulterior motives, which led to their collapse overnight.
The reason for the lack of maintenance is that there are countless martial arts forces in this area, and no major sect can keep them in check. When the martial arts alliance tries to intervene, it is ostracized by the local strongmen. There are many such chaotic areas in the world, and they are all places where demons run rampant, and evil sects and cults act with impunity.
Adhering to the righteous ancestral precepts, the Beggars' Sect bravely intervened in this mess. On the surface, it was a scene of splendor and praise from everyone, but in reality, it faced internal and external troubles. A single misstep could result in severe damage to its vitality.
Internally, the Beggars' Sect faces the loss of its old leader, the infighting between two dragons, and the lurking presence of secret agents from the Demonic Sect. Externally, it must contend with the insincere obstruction and constant obstruction from local powerful figures. The disaster-stricken areas are in dire need of reconstruction, lacking money, food, and medicine, but certainly not hundreds of thousands of hungry mouths. If not handled properly, the displaced people could turn into bandits, and amidst the devastation of war, the Beggars' Sect's reputation and strength would be severely diminished.
After Lin Zhuo and others casually mentioned it, Tie Yingjie and Qingde both felt a sense of resonance.
Tie Yingjie thought of his ancestor Tie Lian'an, who single-handedly defeated numerous heroes with his sword, established the Wind Sword Pavilion, and ended the chaos in Xiaoshui Prefecture. How similar was that time to the present Shuanghe Prefecture? However, he did not have his ancestor's martial arts skills and talent. He could neither subdue the various sects in the prefecture nor reconcile the conflicts and disputes in the martial arts world, thus restoring a peaceful and prosperous life for the people.
Qingde sighed, "When the current leader of the martial arts alliance took office, he said that the chaos in the world stemmed from the selfishness of those who follow the righteous path. If the martial arts alliance could take charge of all the prefectures and counties in the world, most of the calamities in the world could be eliminated."
Tie Yingjie shook his head upon hearing this, "The Martial Alliance has always been regarded as a monstrous threat by all sects in the world, and they are on guard against it at all times. What you said, Daoist, is just wishful thinking."
Qingde retorted solemnly, "Even if it's a far-fetched idea, it's still a good remedy for the world! The twenty-four major sects only see the Martial Alliance as a court of wrangling and bickering, each concerned only with pursuing their own interests. Have they ever considered putting aside their disputes and working together for mutual progress?"
Tie Yingjie sneered coldly, "When will you finally be able to subdue all the martial artists in the world, the great leader you speak of, before you start spouting such platitudes?"
"Martial arts practitioners don't just rely on their fists to prove themselves!"
"Who's going to listen to you if you don't have a fist? I'll kill you with one blow, then you won't have a chance to say a word."
The two characters in the story got louder and louder, drowning out the players' discussions.
Lin Zhu shook his head helplessly. Shu Yuliu leaned close to his ear and whispered about the various items needed for the trip. Jin Xiaohu, sandwiched between his cat servant, looked like a doormat, helplessly covering his ears with his paws. Zhu Baixuan, on the other hand, was all smiles.
In fact, the main storyline of "The Legend of the Demon Blade in the Rain and Snow of Cangcheng" is the process of the Martial Alliance helping the orphan of the Tie family defeat the Rain Blade Hall and rebuild the Wind Sword Tower.
During this period, the current leader of the alliance put in a lot of effort to bring Tie Yingjie into the fold, in order to deeply connect the martial arts alliance with the local forces of Xiaoshui Prefecture, set an example for all the sects in the world, and make all the sects willing to lower their status and strengthen cooperation with the martial arts alliance.
In this world rife with violence and power, is it better for everyone to be scattered and act independently, or for all to unite and coordinate? The players of the online world don't know the outcome; they have only participated in this slice of history in this world, and what will happen in the future is unknown.
Since they were just passing through, Lin Zhuo and the others didn't offer any opinions.
While Tie Yingjie and Qingde were arguing so intensely that they seemed oblivious to the world around them, the other players quietly put down their cups and tiptoed away, leaving the hall to the two of them.
Lin Zhuo was preparing to find a secluded place to study the "Enlightenment Diagram" and practice talismanic arts and martial arts. At this moment, a disciple from the valley came to report that a guest had arrived, claiming to be a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, and earnestly requesting to see Master Lin.
The visiting Beggar Clan disciple was dressed in rags, but his eyes were bright, indicating that he was not weak in martial arts. Upon seeing Lin Zhuo, he immediately bowed and kowtowed, asking for help and hoping that he would treat the old leader.
"Someone has already said that he is willing to lend a hand. Moreover, your gang has done a great deal of good deeds in Shuanghe Prefecture, so it is only right that I do not refuse. However, I have important matters to attend to right now, so I have no choice but to ask my senior brother to take action."

The Beggars' Sect disciple looked hopeful upon hearing this, "Master Lin's senior brother is probably also a figure of the celestial realm! May I ask where you are at this moment, esteemed one?"
"Look, it's right here." Lin Zhuo stepped back, making way for the black and white children behind him.
Zhu Baixuan chuckled and waved, "Hi~"
