“Perfected One, this is?” Sun Maocai was puzzled.

Zhou Jing said casually, “This is a Force Promotion Pill. It can temporarily increase one’s internal energy for an incense stick’s worth of time. It’s useless to me. Although I won’t leave Ning Tian, it’s fine to help you in other ways.”

“Aiya, thank you, Perfected One.” Sun Maocai was overjoyed. He thanked him repeatedly and accepted the pill.

Zhou Jing accepted the thanks without changing his expression.

Over the past few days, he had come up with many new pill formulas, including pills that could assist in martial arts. This Force Promotion Pill could indeed increase one’s internal strength for a short period of time, and it was not a poison… The only flaw was that it was too powerful.

After taking the medicine and fighting with all his might, one internal strength would gradually go out of control. However, if he regulated his breathing and circulated his energy normally, there would not be any problems. Unless he specially experimented, the side effects would not be easily discovered.

As an explosive-type medicinal pill, this effect was quite subtle. He had originally refined it to cheat others in case of emergencies.

With Chen Feng’s martial arts, he was not afraid of being hunted down by the martial artists. However, his companions might be in danger against a group of martial artists. As for him, he had yet to personally project himself on Chen Feng, so he could only indirectly help out a little. It was better than nothing, so he was actually not too worried.

After all, Chen Feng was too strong in this world, so he was quite at ease… The only thing he was worried about was that this brother had apparently gotten too excited from killing and had thrown his placement plan to the back of his mind.

The synchronization rate had not reached a very high level, so the apostle’s movements were still a little erratic.

After chatting for a while, Sun Maocai stood up and bade farewell, leaving happily with the pills.

At this moment, the butler walked into the hall and whispered, “Perfected One, Young Master Ye Heng from the second branch wants to see you.”

“Why is he looking for me?”

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

This Ye Heng was a junior of the Ye family, the branch leader of the Wu Mountain Sect in Ning Tian. He had once been punished by him, but later on, he was respectful to him and did not dare to act rashly.

“Young Master Ye Heng said that the sect master of his Wu Mountain Sect came to Ning Tian and wanted to get to know you in person, so he looked for him to build a bridge. He wanted to ask if Perfected One is willing to meet up with his sect leader…”

Oh, speak of the devil.

Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat as he nodded, “Then let’s meet up with him.”

The butler nodded and retreated with his head lowered.

Not long after, Ye Heng led a scholarly middle-aged man in a blue robe to the living room.

Ye Heng entered and bowed respectfully before introducing the person beside him.

“Greetings, Perfected One. This is the sect master of our sect, Shen Sanqiu.”

“Haha, I’m the sect master of the Wu Mountain Sect, Shen Sanqiu. I’ve heard a lot about you, Perfected Master Windwalker. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation.”

Shen Sanqiu smiled and cupped his fists.

Zhou Jing sized up Shen Sanqiu and used his detection to check his attributes.

According to the current standards of this world, this person’s attributes were quite high. He was indeed a first-rate expert. Perhaps because he had cultivated an internal cultivation technique, his energy attribute was clearly higher than that of the Green Forest Martial Artists, but he had yet to touch the threshold of the Second Order.

In front of Chen Feng, it was only two to three thursts more of his spear that he needed to do.

Zhou Jing understood and nodded, “Sect Master Shen, you’re too polite. Please sit.”

Hearing this, the two of them sat down.

Shen Sanqiu took the initiative to speak and smiled, “I’ve heard of the rumors about you, Perfected One. I’ve long wanted to get to know you. Unfortunately, I’m busy in the sect, so I’ve only been able to visit you recently. I hope you won’t blame me.”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said, “I heard from Ye Heng that Sect Master Shen’s martial arts is unparalleled in Jiangchun. He has the title of Jiangchun’s First Sword as well.”

Shen Sanqiu stroked his beard and smiled. He was a little proud, but he said, “No, no. It’s all the love shown by my fellow comrades in the martial world. I’ve been mocked by you.”

Zhou Jing took the initiative to change the topic, “I’m originally a cultivator in the wilderness, so I don’t know much about the martial world. I wonder if Sect Master Shen can explain it to me?”

Shen Sanqiu immediately perked up in surprise.

He had come here to befriend Perfected Master Windwalker, so he could not naturally try to help with any requests.

He quickly cleared his throat and explained the current situation of the martial world.

There were many sects in the martial world, and most of them were small families. As for the orthodox large sects in the martial world, they were known as the eight major sects in the world. They each had a set of high-quality martial arts inheritance, and the Wu Mountain Sect was one of them.

Among the eight major sects in the world, there were also large sects that specialized in spell techniques. However, their reputation in the martial world was made famous through their outer sect martial arts, and it had nothing to do with the true spells of the inner sect.

Zhou Jing had heard Guo Haishen talk about the situation in the martial world, but Old Guo knew the situation in the Green Forest the best. In terms of understanding of the martial world, he naturally did not have a better understanding than a sect master like Shen Sanqiu. There was no harm in knowing more from the other party.

Shen Sanqiu even told Zhou Jing a lot of stories about the martial world. In order to pique his interest, he spoke until his mouth was dry and he was quite hard working.

Zhou Jing pretended to be interested and listened for a while. He remembered the names of many experts in the martial world as Chen Feng’s future challenge target.

Then, he suddenly had a thought, asking, “The Wu Mountain Sect is famous. I wonder what martial arts there are in the sect?”

Shen Sanqiu paused for a moment and smiled, “My Wu Mountain Sect has a total of 19 martial arts. Among them, six martial arts are the most famous in the martial world. They are known as the ‘Six Techniques of Wu Mountain’. They are three sword techniques, a set of fist and palm, a weightless technique, and a cultivation technique.”

“Please elaborate.”

“Ahem, these three sword techniques are the Water Cloud Sword Technique, the Storm Sword Technique, and the Fog River Sword Technique. They’re respectively known for being dense, fast, and ever-changing. The first set of fist and palm techniques is the Breeze Chasing Cloud Hand. There are 56 variations, and they mainly focus on close combat and joint capture. The weightless technique is called Traceless Stepping on Water. One can run on the surface of the water with it… Uh, although it’s called this, it can’t compare to the True Human Immortal Technique. It’s just some small martial arts techniques.”
