Very quickly, the two of them came up with a series of methods to strengthen Jun Lin. Besides personal martial arts, power was also a top priority. Therefore, both of them felt that capturing the headless Golden Scale Guards was the first thing to do.
Whenever the headless Golden Scale Guards were mentioned, they would mention the Golden Scale Guard commander, Pang Yuanqing, who had been killed by Jun Lanyue. He was a loyal lackey under the Grand Matriarch's command.
If he wanted to take control of the Golden Scale Guards from the First Wife, it would be impossible to do so with just the imperial edict and the General Seal. He would have to obtain tangible benefits that would move his heart. However, the more Jun Lin took out, the more the first wife would take out.
How to capture the Golden Scale Guards was a big problem. If they wanted to capture the hearts of others, giving them the best was often the best choice. Even the two of them didn't know much about the Golden Scale Guards.
If Jun Lanyue were to do so, he would only become a laughingstock. But there was nothing he could do about it; after all, he had been weak for so many years. Even if he chose to change his appearance, it would be difficult for him to be accepted immediately. Speaking of which, even Jun Linghu, who was far away at the border, was able to subdue others just by relying on his aura.
He had to wait for more information before he could make any further movements. Then, he had chosen to consider the worth of a personal martial arts ability. It was able to give Jun Lanyue the best instruction, but the two of them were currently in the Great Yang Empire, a country that viewed Profound Practitioners with extreme hatred. No matter how high their cultivation level was, as long as they used it publicly, there would be endless trouble in the future.
This was something that needed careful consideration. Since Jun Linjian was not very deep into the world, he was unable to give any useful suggestions. Thus, he had to return to his residence first and allow the Monarch Profound to think in peace.
Without Tang An and Zhao Huai, Jun Lin Yue didn't have any trusted aides in the manor, and now he couldn't even find a trusted servant. As for the situation within the manor, he had to do his own research.
Who would reveal their dark side to the Marquis, even if it was a Puppet Marquis?
He had already made up his mind not to be that puppet. Since he was at a loss on what to do, strengthening himself was the only thing he could do. His completely transformed body was already able to bear the burden brought by the body training technique. He didn't need to secretly practice the mystical arts, even though he had relied on the mystical arts to kill Wu Fu.
In his limited memory, there weren't many suitable martial arts techniques for Jun Linyue to choose from. In fact, there were quite a few upper tier martial arts techniques stored in the large library of Hou Mansion. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many people with extraordinary martial arts prowess to join the mansion.
It was a pity that his body had been too weak in the past, and his daily life was almost a burden. Not to mention practicing martial arts. After that, he had lived his life as a Puppet. It would be difficult for him to set foot in the Compendium Pavilion, as well as other places that would allow him to grow stronger.
In comparison, Chi You's self-created martial art was the only choice for Jun Lanyue. As for which Burning God Palm he would choose, that was something to consider.
The Sky Blue Light was a sword move, so using the Dark Jade Sword was the best. As for the Burning God Palm, it was a palm technique. If he were to fight with a weapon wielding martial artist, he would naturally suffer a great deal.
Even though he thought this way, Jun Lin Yue still chose the palm method in the end. When the time came, both of his palms would be combined with his control over the swordsmanship. With three pincers, he would have a better advantage.
When he thought of this, Jun Lanyue no longer hesitated. He recalled the records of the Burning God Palm in his mind and carefully tried to comprehend them. The Burning God Palm had a total of twelve forms, and every move required blood essence as support. Moreover, the physical strength required was too high, so Jun Lanyue could only cultivate the first form now.
Right now, the blood qi was about an inch long, and it was flowing through his body. Along with Jun Lin Yue's secret method, the blood essence moved extremely fast through his meridians, and within a few seconds, it had reached the exact position.
Jun Lin Yue could clearly feel his blood boiling. His hands were covered in a layer of red light, making it seem as if his blood was boiling. Jun Lin Yue roared as he struck out with both his palms.
Putting aside the fact that its power was shocking, the air around its palm was actually rippled, visible to the naked eye. It crashed into the wall two meters away, and the dull sound of the impact could still be heard.
The power of this strike caused Jun Lin Yue to gape with his mouth wide open. He had never imagined that it would be so powerful. Of course, there was a price to be paid for its power. After this palm attack, Chi You's blood essence had turned back into the water droplet form. No matter how he urged it, there was no response.
One strike had consumed half of the blood essence of a master like Uncle Rong. This was not an ordinary skill. Uncle Rong was at the peak of martial arts, so how much blood essence did he need to absorb in order to freely display this skill?
Jun Lin Yue also searched through a lot of information on parchment paper in his mind. He was sad to find out that all of the techniques that Chi You had left behind were activated by his blood essence. This meant that Jun Lin Yue had opened the door to the treasure trove, only to discover that the treasure trove was not something that could be moved now.
Blood essence, blood essence … I'm glad it's not limited to human blood essence. However, when Jun Lanyue sent someone to deliver the live chicken, he smiled helplessly.
Indeed, fowls without strength could not provide even the slightest bit of blood essence, and were just wasting energy. After wiping off the bloodstains on the dagger, he had the body of the chicken disposed of. Jun Lanyue didn't show any sign of disappointment. He didn't have much hope after all.
There are no shortcuts to growth. Since the Burning God Palm and other techniques of Chi You were not useful for now, he decided to go to the library to take a look. The Hidden Dragon Hall wasn't too far away from the Compendium Pavilion, and the servants they met on the way all bowed in response. Jun Lanyue didn't mind this at all, since the news regarding the meeting hall hadn't spread out yet.
Thinking about it, it was normal. This kind of matter where both sides could not be exposed, as long as one was slightly more sane, it would not be publicized. It would only serve as a reminder to the people in the important circles.
"Master Hou, why have you come to the Compendium Pavilion today?" Initially, the guests didn't even have time to greet Jun Lin Yue. However, just as he was about to enter the Compendium Pavilion, they stood in front of the door, blocking his path.
If it was in the past, Tang An would definitely stand out and look down on the other party for a bit, then condescendingly say, "Master Hou is here to visit the Compendium Pavilion today. Hurry up and get out of my way, don't block Master Hou's way."
When he thought of the two dead men, Jun Lin Yue was filled with rage. He arrogantly glanced at them and coldly said, "Who do you think you are? Get lost! "
"Your Lordship, such a temper." The guest laughed and retorted, "I've never learned to scram since I was young. How about Master Hou give me a demonstration? Otherwise, I really wouldn't know."
"What a great mouth! Such glib words. Come, give me a slap on the face!" Jun Linyue cupped his fists as he ordered the Golden Scale Guard.
