Chapter 160: An Extra Reward for Lin Feng

Lin Feng arrived at the headquarters of the Hemp Guard and saw the envoy practicing his sword in the courtyard.

Lin Feng discovered that the envoy was quite diligent, still practicing swordsmanship every day even after reaching this position.

The envoy has mastered the basic swordsmanship to the seventh level, which may already be his limit.

After finishing his sword practice, the envoy greeted Lin Feng with a smile, "General Lin, why didn't you rest at home a little longer? Why did you come so early?"

The envoy's attitude was noticeably more amiable than in the past few days. He no longer had that condescending air and had begun to treat Lin Feng as an equal.

Lin Feng replied with a smile, "I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about the reward, so I came a little early."

"That's right, you got too many rewards this time, even I'm a little envious. You've almost emptied our entire inventory of the Hemp Guard."

Lin Feng scratched his head. "Sword Sect can't possibly be short of so many Jiazi Enhancement Pills, can they? I risked my life to get this one."

"Don't worry, kid. Even if the Ma Yi Guard is poor, they won't be short of your pills."

"But can you really digest so many Jiazi Enhancement Pills?"

"It can be digested, but the effects of the medicine are starting to wear off."

Having made quite a splash this time, Lin Feng felt he shouldn't be too flamboyant and shouldn't exaggerate his talent, lest he attract the attention of the Sword Sect's higher-ups to have him examined.

The envoy nodded. "That's good too. It shows that your drug resistance is far beyond that of ordinary people, and you will definitely go further than others on the path of martial arts."

The envoy sat at the table in the courtyard and gestured for Lin Feng to sit down as well.

After Lin Feng sat down, the envoy poured him a cup of tea and then poured one for himself as well.

The envoy raised his teacup. "Now that this matter is settled, I should be leaving. I'll be gone in a bit."

Lin Feng was a little reluctant to part with it; to him, the envoy was practically a gift boy who delivered pills.

"Why don't you stay a few more days, sir? I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to show you around."

The envoy waved his hand and said, "There are so many branches of the Hemp-Clad Guard, but we only have five envoys. We are very busy."

The envoy clinked teacups with Lin Feng's. "My name is Han Qianshan. Remember to find me for tea when you arrive at the Sword Sect."

"In the sect competition six months from now, you'll definitely be able to reach the Sword Sect's mountain gate. Then I'll show you around the Sword Sect."

For peripheral members of the Sword Sect like Lin Feng, when participating in the sect's grand competition, they first have to compete against the generals of the Ma Yi Guard, the city lords, the city guard generals, and the heads of the government offices in the prefecture city and the county under the prefecture city.

Only those who rank in the top ten in the county town are qualified to compete in the prefectural city.

Only those who rank in the top ten upon arriving in the prefectural city can go to the Sword Sect.

Lin Feng was very confident in himself. Once these resources arrived, he would be able to make rapid progress again and breaking into the Sword Sect would not be a problem.

The key is whether you can secure one of the last five spots as an outer disciple of the Sword Sect.

Lin Feng drank the tea in one gulp, "Definitely, definitely."

"Someone will bring your reward over in a little while."

You have good talent; you'll be able to enter the outer sect of the Sword Sect sooner or later.

I pleaded with my superiors, and they have agreed to pass on the Divine Sword Technique to you ahead of schedule.

Last night I hand-copied a manual for the first move of the Divine Sword Technique. You can look at it here, and destroy it immediately after you're done.

Lin Feng stood up, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "I'm so grateful to Brother Han for all your trouble. I don't know how to thank you enough."

Envoy Han Qianshan showed a satisfied expression and gestured for Lin Feng to sit down.

"No need to be so polite, these things are just a small favor for me."

"Brother Han's small act of kindness has been a great help to me, saving me a lot of cultivation time."

"We don't need to be so polite between us."

After Han Qianshan finished speaking, he handed Lin Feng a handwritten booklet.

Lin Feng took the booklet with both hands and quickly flipped through it. In no time, he had finished reading all the contents of the booklet, and the Divine Sword Technique also appeared in the martial arts section of the attribute panel.

However, Lin Feng persisted in reading it for a quarter of an hour before smashing the booklet to pieces with a single palm strike.

Then he reached out and flicked out a burst of Yin-Yang Sword Technique's blazing Yang energy, burning the scraps of paper into ashes.

Han Qianshan's gaze sharpened. Such domineering Blazing Sun True Qi! He wondered what kind of martial arts this kid had practiced.

This kid's got a good head on his shoulders; he memorized the contents of the manual so quickly.

Han Qianshan said, "Outer disciples can only learn the first five moves of the Divine Sword Technique, and it must never be passed on to outsiders without the sect's permission."

"My subordinate understands!"

Just as the two finished speaking, the gate of the Hemp-Clad Guard was pushed open, and the messenger from the Hemp-Clad Guard responsible for delivering the pills walked in.

The messenger handed the items to Han Qianshan and left without saying a word.

This envoy was probably a courier, and his status was clearly lower than Han Qianshan's.

Han Qianshan handed a jade bottle to Lin Feng, "Check it out, there are fourteen Jiazi Enhancement Pills inside."

Lin Feng wouldn't be polite about this; if the quantity was wrong, the losses would be huge.

Lin Feng opened the jade bottle, poured the pills into his hand, and counted them. There were exactly fourteen pills, no more and no less.

Lin Feng put the pills back into the jade bottle.

Han Qianshan said, "Now that the matter is settled, I should go."

After what happened yesterday, your Qinghe County will definitely be peaceful for a while. You should take this opportunity to cultivate yourself properly.

I will strive to obtain the qualification to enter the outer sect within six months.

If one can be accepted as a disciple by a sect elder, one will immediately become an outer disciple.

"Ordinary people like us with no connections have no choice but to take the path of martial arts competitions to enter the Sword Sect."

Lin Feng thought to himself, "My teacher is the top disciple of the four peaks of the Sword Sect. I have strong connections, but it's just not the right time to use them yet."

"I'll see Brother Han off."

Lin Feng escorted Han Qianshan out of the city.

Masters of Han Qianshan's caliber never ride horses because the speed of horses cannot keep up with their own.

Lin Feng watched Mr. Han's figure disappear before returning to the Ma Yi Guard.

When he arrived, all the guards in the hemp robes had also arrived.

Lin Feng arranged for 61 people to prepare and set up camp in 55 villages and three towns in Qinghe County the next day.

They only need to stay for a few days; they will then recruit some external members to replace them.

Lin Feng then summoned Song Dahu and asked him to return to the Beast Fist Sect and bring forty men over.

He planned to station these forty men in various towns and villages of Qinghe County to replace the main force of the Ma Yiwei.

Lin Feng plans to recruit the remaining twenty-one people from Qinghe County.

Song Dahu immediately set off for the Beast Fist Sect to gather reinforcements.

After arranging everything, Lin Feng went straight home.

He plans to go home and add some more.

There was roasted snake meat in the storage space, which could be taken out and eaten at any time, so he didn't need to go up the mountain to hunt.

I returned to my study at home.

Lin Feng poured all fourteen Jiazi Enhancement Pills into his mouth at once.

Ding-a-ling! The 840-point breakthrough point has been credited directly to your account.

This is the first time I've gained so many breakthroughs. I don't know if it's enough to bring all my martial arts skills to the perfect level.
