"Om, Wu, Ma, Duo, Tuo, Ye, She!" As Li Huowang silently recited in his mind, he followed the instructions of the technique and activated the breath in his dantian.

Immediately, he lifted his left hand and thrust the bronze sword towards the green bamboo shoot in front of him.

In the next moment, the copper coins on the sword trembled slightly and scattered in the air. Then, under the guidance of the red string, they inserted themselves into the bamboo shoot one by one.

Li Huowang lifted the sword handle again, and the old copper coins quickly returned and reconnected to form the body of the sword. By the time the copper coin sword was back in place, the bamboo shoot in front of Li Huowang had already split into four or five pieces.

Then, Li Huowang looked towards the black stone covered in moss beside him, and with a tight grip on the sword, he swung it towards you.

At the next moment, Li Huowang felt a powerful force coming from the sword, as if it wasn't him wielding the sword, but the sword leading his hand.

Right before the copper coin sword was about to hit the stone, it suddenly scattered. As the empty sword handle passed through the giant rock, the coins reconnected under the red string and cut off a decaying tree several meters behind the stone.

"This sword is useful, very useful." Li Huowang thought to himself with a hint of joy. Compared to other things he possessed, this item was clearly more practical, and most importantly, it had no side effects. The copper coin sword could make up for his lack of long-range attacks to some extent.

The scene made the scholar beside him envious. The supernatural power he had learned after much hardship was mastered much better by Li Huowang in such a short time.

Thinking of this, the scholar approached Li Huowang with an excited expression. "Master, your supernatural power is unparalleled in the world!"

Facing the other's flattery, Li Huowang's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly. He wasn't educated and didn't know how to flatter.

"Master, what supernatural power should I learn next?" The scholar asked eagerly, voicing his most pressing concern.

Li Huowang didn't answer, knowing that the only reason he had taught the technique was to drive away the evil spirits in his body and to let him test if there were any pitfalls in the technique. Now that the purpose had been achieved, Li Huowang had to think of a way to deal with this cheap disciple.

Li Huowang knew that with his current personality, directly expelling him from the sect was probably not possible. He had to come up with a roundabout way.

"You'll learn how to read next." Li Huowang's words stunned the scholar, as it was not what he had expected.

"Do you know why I learned this technique faster than you? Because I know how to read."

"What if I can't read? I can still learn supernatural powers! I can even cultivate!" The scholar's tone was indignant.

"You don't want to learn? Fine, don't blame me for not teaching you." Li Huowang turned and walked away.

"Master, I was wrong!" The scholar knelt in front of Li Huowang, hitting his head on the ground three times. "I'll learn!"

When Li Huowang emerged from the bamboo forest, the scholar was already holding a piece of paper covered in words, memorizing it with all his might. He had never worked so hard in his life.

Seeing his master come out, Mantou trotted over and sniffed at his hem with her nose. Li Huowang patted her head and said to the others by the ox cart, "Let's go, hurry up and enter Yinyin City."Under the rolling of the wheels, Li Huowang opened the map in his hand again. From the map, he could see that not far ahead was the city of Yinling, a big city in Daliang and the fiefdom of a prince.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Of course, Li Huowang didn't care much about this city. What he cared about was that once they passed this city, they were not far from Niuxin Mountain. As long as they reached Bai Lingmiao's hometown, this long and arduous journey would finally come to an end.

"Brother Li, I've never been to Yinling before. My uncle told me that the people in Yinling are very rich. He once caught a chicken-footed deer when he was young and sold it in Yinling, and then he built three big tile-roofed houses when he came back!"

"He said Yinling is big and beautiful, and the food there is especially delicious. I used to think about how good it must taste."

Bai Lingmiao, with a white ribbon tied over her eyes, held Li Huowang's clothes and chattered on and on, completely different from her previous appearance.

As she spoke, Li Huowang listened silently. They were a good match, one in front and one behind.

Under Bai Lingmiao's voice like a lark, a tall and oppressive city wall gradually appeared in front of them.

When they arrived at the city wall with the crowd, Li Huowang looked up and almost thought it was a mountain.

"This wall...this wall..." Li Huowang stuttered.

"This wall is really big!" Yang Xiaohai said for him.

"You talk too much." Li Huowang hugged his wife's waist and hurriedly followed the carriage.

Inside the walled city, there were guards with a soldier symbol on their chests checking everyone one by one. Compared to Qingqiu, it was much stricter here. Everything had to be checked before being allowed to pass.

Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and tightened the black veil hat on their heads.

As soon as they entered the city, Li Huowang found that anything he said received a response.

"What are you here for?" The guard checking them had a very cold tone.

"Sir, we are actors. Please let us through." Lv Zhuangyuan handed over the guide with a smile, and the silver coins under the guide were thrown on the ground.

Seeing the official guide with a seal, the guards who were about to search through their belongings stepped back.

"Next."

This made Li Huowang, who was standing next to the cow cart containing the Black Tai Sui, breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as they entered, Li Huowang immediately heard exclamations around him. It was normal, as there were many multi-story buildings on both sides of the spacious streets.

Between these buildings was a lively and vivid painting of the Qingming Festival on the River.

Looking at all of this prosperity and unfamiliarity, even the experienced Lv Zhuangyuan was at a loss. They stood in the middle of the road, not knowing which way to go.

Many people saw their actions and showed a hint of disdain. They were just another group of country bumpkins who had never been to the city.

"Don't panic. Same as usual, let's find an inn first." Li Huowang looked ahead with a complicated expression, not expecting that there could be such a prosperous place in this mad world. He thought there was not a single inch of good left in this world.
