Scale Jade Leaf.]
In the room, Jiang Changsheng looked at the words and smiled.
Magical treasure!
He had struck gold!

The Qilin Horsetail Whisk was only a Dharma artifact. At most, it was a transformation weapon that could carry spiritual energy. In comparison, magic treasures should be stronger.
Jiang Changsheng immediately took out the Golden Scale Jade Leaf, and inherited memories about the Golden Scale Jade Leaf appeared in his mind.
The Golden Scale Jade Leaf was a magical treasure made from the scales of a divine beast. It contained nine restrictions that could kill enemies and block their attacks. As for its exact usage, it was something he would only know after experimenting.
The ownership of a magic treasure required refining restrictions. Jiang Changsheng began to refine the restrictions in the Golden Scale Jade Leaf according to his inherited memories. The sun set and the moon rose.
Night fell.
After Jiang Changsheng successfully refined the Golden Scale Jade Leaf, he put it into his sleeve and walked out of the room. At this moment, King Qin, Zong Tianwu, Huang Chuan, Ling Xiao, and Wang Chen were chatting in the courtyard.
King Qin had already paid his respects to his mother and Zong Tianwu’s injuries had been bandaged. They planned to rest for a day and go down the mountain tomorrow to avoid causing trouble for Longqi Temple.
Seeing Jiang Changsheng walk over, King Qin and Zong Tianwu hurriedly stood up and cupped their fists. At this moment, Zong Tianwu restrained his arrogance and was convinced by Jiang Changsheng.
“There’s no need to be so polite. What are your plans for the future?” Jiang Changsheng walked over and Huang Chuan gave way to him.
King Qin smiled bitterly and said, “I’m preparing to leave Great Jing. As for
Zong Tianwu, he will return to his sect to retire.”
If they offended the Emperor, it would be difficult for them to move forward in the Great Jing. In such a situation, it was better to stay away from the court.
King Qin had also thought it through. He was not strong enough, so there was no need for him to continue putting Zong Tianwu in danger. Now that his relatives were no longer around, he had already seen many things clearly.
Wang Chen did not reveal his identity. After all, he had already decided to forget his past, and King Qin did not recognize him.
Jiang Changsheng said, “You are a prince. Can you get used to it?”
King Qin shook his head and said, “Even if I am not used to it, I have to get used to it. How can you always have your way in life?”
Zong Tianwu did not say anything. After today’s battle, he felt that he still needed to pursue martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng took the tea poured by Wang Chen and suddenly said, “Why don’t you go and seek refuge with King Wei? I’ll personally write a letter for you and bring King Wei to the throne. I’ll let King Wei retain the position of King Qin. As for Zong Tianwu, won’t he bring glory to the sect if he returns with the merits of the dragon?”
King Qin frowned and said, “King Wei is the prince of the current emperor…”
He recalled his encounter with Jiang Ziyu in the Northern Territory. Jiang Ziyu was very enthusiastic and respectful to him. Putting aside his relationship with the Emperor, he could indeed rely on him.
Zong Tianwu suddenly came to a realization and said, “I see. Longqi Temple supports King Wei, so with Daoist Master as King Wei’s master, he dares to attack the Emperor. Rumor has it that the Emperor appointed his illegitimate son as the crown prince. So it’s true that King Wei is dissatisfied.”
King Qin hesitated and said, “Even if King Wei ascends to the throne, I’m afraid..
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even if his temperament changes drastically in the future and there’s no place to hide in the world, Longqi Temple can still allow you to hide. Moreover, I’ve taught King Wei since he was young. I know his temperament. Compared to personal relationships, he cares more about the country and righteousness. Your achievements over the years have made him feel extremely impressed. He won’t treat you badly.” King Qin looked at Zong Tianwu.
Zong Tianwu’s eyes flickered as he said, “King Wei is sincere. I can tell that he’s not hypocritical at all when we met previously. Why don’t we give it a try? The Emperor will definitely remember today’s grudge. It’s just that he can’t place any charges against us now, but that might not be the case in the future. If we follow King Wei and continue to contribute, the hearts of the people will be on us, and the Emperor won’t dare to touch us.”
King Qin took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to Daoist Master!”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “Wang Chen, bring me a pen, paper, and ink.”
Wang Chen immediately moved.
Zong Tianwu began to ask Jiang Changsheng for guidance on martial arts. He was naturally a martial arts fanatic to be able to become a Martial Arts Supreme. Jiang Changsheng had a good impression of his courage to fight to the death, so he did not patronize him and gave him serious guidance.
Although Jiang Changsheng was an immortal cultivator, he had also cultivated many ultimate martial arts techniques and understood by analogy. With his attainments comparable to the Universe realm expert, he was more than enough to guide Zong Tianwu.
The next morning, King Qin and Zong Tianwu went down the mountain to seek refuge with King Wei.
Although Zong Tianwu had lost an arm, he was still an expert in the Divine realm. With his help, the culmulative strength of King Wei’s subordinates would be higher.
The peace in Longqi Temple was not broken by the two of them. However, some disciples noticed that there was an additional tombstone in the Hero’s Tomb.
Daoist Tian Gang!
His corpse was brought to Longqi Temple by Zong Tianwu. Although they were enemies, Zong Tianwu respected him and asked Jiang Changsheng to bury him in the Hero’s Tomb.
Most of the disciples of Longqi Temple did not know Daoist Tian Gang’s name, but usually, experts from the pugilistic world would come to burn incense and recognize his name. In less than two months, the news that the head of the Grandmasters, Daoist Tian Gang, was buried in the Hero’s Tomb spread throughout the country.
Two of the five Grandmasters had been buried in the Hero’s Tomb!
The martial arts world was in an uproar!
Jiang Changsheng did not know anything about the martial arts world. He cultivated in the temple all day long, and Emperor Jiang Yu did not find trouble with him again. He even sent someone to deliver a batch of candied fruits, fruits, tea leaves, and so on. It was obvious that he was expressing goodwill.
Jiang Changsheng did not think too much about it. Regardless of whether Emperor Jiang Yu was sincere or not, it did not matter. When Jiang Ziyu restored the country, he had to give the throne to him.
Recently, he often flew to the forest outside the city to familiarize himself with the Golden Scale Jade Leaves. This magic treasure was really too powerful, making him truly feel like he was cultivating.
In two months, Jiang Changsheng had completely grasped the Golden Scale Jade Leaf. He could even use the Golden Scale Jade Leaf to execute various ultimate techniques and control all the abilities of the Golden Scale Jade Leaf.
He could not imagine how strong he would be if he fought with all his might.
Previously, when he saved King Qin, he only used the Taiqing Sword Technique and ended the group of enemies with a single strike. In that battle, he had already tried his best to restrain himself, afraid that he would be strong and injure the innocent people passing by in the distance.
On this day, Jiang Changsheng was refining pills. Other than the necessary Spirit Boosting Pills, he wanted to try refining other pills.
Huang Chuan’s voice sounded from outside the courtyard. “This is the Daoist Master’s residence. Unauthorized people are not allowed to trespass.”
“I’ll just take a look. I’ll leave after taking a look.”
An old woman in her fifties held the hand of a little girl and looked at Jiang Changsheng from afar.
When the old woman saw Jiang Changsheng refining pills under the tree, her body trembled and she revealed a complicated expression.
“It’s the same as thirty years ago… He’s really an immortal…”
The old woman muttered to herself. The little girl she was holding was very nervous because Huang Chuan looked impatient and fierce.
Huang Chuan said in a low voice, “Alright, have you seen enough? It’s time to leave.”
The old woman looked at Jiang Changsheng for a while before pulling the little girl away. Huang Chuan followed closely behind, afraid that they would turn back.
The old woman took out a bag of money and handed it to Huang Chuan. “Can your temple accept my daughter?”
Huang Chuan squeezed the money bag and said hesitantly, “That’s not good. Longqi Temple only accepts orphans.”
The old woman smiled bitterly. “I won’t be able to live for much longer.”
On the other side.
Jiang Changsheng, who was refining pills, naturally noticed the arrival of the mother and daughter and heard their words, but he did not care. Longqi Temple had already grown stronger, so it was up to Meng Qiushuang to decide whether to accept disciples.
As for the old woman’s identity, he did not think too much about it. Over the years, there had been countless devotees, and there had been many devotees who had sneaked into the courtyard. Most of them were high-ranking officials and nobles. They had given too much and had not really crossed the line, so he turned a blind eye.
Jiang Changsheng’s title had already changed to Immortal Master Changsheng.
Being able to see Immortal Master Changsheng was something that many people dreamed of.
In the fourth year of the Zhen Yu Era, King Wei attacked 27 cities in a row and successfully recaptured the Northern Territory of Great Jing, rejecting the Jin Dynasty from outside the borders. His reputation spread far and wide, and there was an endless stream of men from Great Jing who went to seek refuge. His troops had already reached 300,000.
Now that only the Jin Dynasty was left fighting the Great Jing, Ancient Han was also afraid of being annexed by the Jin Dynasty, so it took the opportunity to conserve its strength.
In the northern region of Great Jing, the wasteland was boundless, and yellow sand filled the sky. A city was sitting here alone.
In a courtyard in the city.
Ping’an was brandishing his two hammers. The two hammers in his hands were as big as water vats, and there were divine beast patterns engraved on their surfaces. They were golden and bronze in color, and they looked fierce. The soldiers in the courtyard did not dare to approach them, and their faces were filled with fear.
Zong Tianwu sighed and said, “This guy is suitable for heavy divine weapons.”
Xu Tianji was also speechless. “Ever since this little monster saw blood, he has become more and more abnormal. Sometimes, I’m afraid of meeting him on the battlefield and being torn apart by his hands.”
The other soldiers also began to discuss and sigh.
Jiang Ziyu, who was dressed in armor and looked extraordinary, smiled in satisfaction. He turned to look at the Four Seas Sage beside him and said, “I’m very satisfied. Tell me, how much gold?”
Such a weapon could only be measured in gold.
Four Seas Sage pinched his beard and smiled. “It doesn’t cost money. Only when a divine weapon is combined with a fierce general is it meaningful.” Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “Then what do you want?”
“Hahaha, King Wei is indeed impressive. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’m willing to help King Wei conquer the world. I only hope that after King Wei ascends the throne, you can give me a son. Afterwhich, I’ll bring him to the martial arts Holy Land to nurture peerless experts for the Great Jing,” the Four Seas Sage said seriously after laughing.
Jiang Ziyu was silent.
At this moment, King Qin came over and said, “What holy land of martial arts can compare to Longqi Temple?”
When he heard the words Longqi Temple, Four Seas Sage’s expression was very unnatural. He faked a cough and said, “A very distant holy land, even further than Ancient Han. King Wei, you don’t have to be in a hurry to agree. I will accompany you for a few years. When King Wei understands my abilities and my character, it won’t be too late to agree.”
Jiang Ziyu said with a faint smile, “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t agree?”
Four Seas Sage shook his wine gourd and smiled. “You will definitely agree. This is because this world is the world of martial arts. If the imperial power wants to be passed down, it has to have a martial arts inheritance. Wouldn’t it be better if the Great Jing Imperial Family had another martial arts inheritance?”
Jiang Ziyu looked at him deeply.
Not far away, Xu Tianji muttered, “This old man is not simple. I can’t see through him at all.”
Zong Tianwu nodded and said, “If you and I attack, we might not be able to defeat him.”
After the arrival of the chaotic world, all kinds of demons and ghosts appeared in the world, making him, a Martial Arts Supreme, feel a little unconfident.
In Longqi Temple, Jiang Changsheng was refining pills under a tree. White Dragon lay at the side and kept flicking its tongue.
Eunuch Li sat on the other side of Jiang Changsheng and said with a smile, “From last year onwards, the Emperor has been obsessed with wine and women and has a tendency to ignore the government. At this rate, King Wei’s hopes of ascending the throne in the future will be even greater.”
Jiang Changsheng stared at the cauldron in front of him and did not say anything.
Seeing that he was not interested, Eunuch Li’s eyes turned and he said,
“Recently, a faction has appeared in the martial arts world called the Burning Sky Pavilion. They attacked sects everywhere and have already taken down the Devil Sect and the Seven Mountains Sect. It’s said that it was founded by the once famous Emperor Yang Zhao and has the ambition to unify the martial arts world.”
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. The Devil Sect was gone?
Huang Chuan suddenly ran over and asked, “How’s the situation with the Devil Sect? Where’s the Devil Lord?”
Eunuch Li turned to look at him and shrugged. “Of course he submitted. The Devil Lord shouldn’t have died, but he’s already so old. He probably doesn’t have many years left to live.”
After saying that, Eunuch Li looked at Jiang Changsheng again and said, “The Burning Sky Pavilion is getting stronger and stronger. In the future, they might target Longqi Temple. The reputation of the Hero’s Tomb is really too great. The experts who are pursuing the title ‘number one in the world’ will definitely come.”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “Then let them come. I hope they’re not too weak..”
