Chapter 22: The Ambition of Turquoise Mountain

  At night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the hazy moonlight is like a thin gauze covering the entire earth.

  On the vast land, a fine horse can be seen running on the official road, it is Teng Qing Shan riding his black-striped horse!

  "These books are still the October version." Teng Qing Shan knew that the Jiuzhou Four Lists were revised every half year. The four lists, all new versions came out on April 1st and October 1st, "However, the 'Qianlong List' and 'Chufeng List', this Wanxiang Building sells for a full 100 taels of silver, ten times the price of the 'Diban'... I still haven't carefully read the 'Qianlong List' and 'Chufeng List' until now."

  Riding a horse while reading a book.

  Only when man and horse are one, and have night vision, can they ride a horse at night and read books.

  He casually flipped through the "Earth List", and then opened the thick "Hidden Dragon List": "Only 108 people, but this book is much thicker than the Earth List. I don't know what content it has!" He roughly flipped through it, and the first one on the Hidden Dragon List was actually Teng Qing Shan!

  Inside is a detailed description of Mount Qingcheng.

  "Genius?" Teng Qing Shan saw the title given to himself, shook his head and smiled, continuing to flip through the pages.

  Roughly flipping through, it was quickly finished describing 108 people.

  "The Dragon List" describes 108 people, while "The Earth List" describes 72 people. But the price is nine times higher. No wonder... It turns out that there are more contents behind this. Teng Qing Shan found that the description of the 108 dragons only occupied the first half of the book.

  The latter half describes many heroes of the nine states in recent times.

  "Hmm, January 1st version?" Teng Qing Shan was shocked when he saw that date.

  "In view of the Nine Provinces and Four Lists, there are too few records of heroes and chivalrous men. But in my vast land of the Nine Provinces, there are countless heroes and chivalrous men. My Wanxiang Gate will record many heroes in this 'Nine Provinces Heroes Chronicle'. The 'Nine Provinces Heroes Chronicle' is recorded within the 'Hidden Dragon List' and the 'Young Phoenix List', revised once a month."

  Hong Qingshan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this line in the book: "Haha, this Wàn Xiàng Mén is really good at making money! Revising once a month, one hundred taels of silver per book! Many people will probably buy it every month... how much money will they make?"

  Even if only one copy of "Dragon Scale" is sold, it would be 1200 taels of silver per year, and that's just for one person! Many sects and wealthy merchants will also buy it. Even if there are only 10,000 loyal buyers, that's over 12 million taels of silver! And that's not counting the loyal fans and casual readers who often make purchases.

  Many warriors will buy it.

  A copy of "The Dragon's List" earns one hundred million taels of silver in a year, which is not surprising.

  Just one "Dragon List" earned 100 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 1 million taels of gold! This is just a small part of the Wanxiangmen's business.

  "This Wanxiangmen is really wealthy. They also know how to make money!" Tian Qing Mountain exclaimed, "A book itself is not worth much, it's the intelligence information that's valuable. And they have Wanxiangmen distributed all over the nine provinces. Collecting intelligence at a very low cost."

  'The Chronicles of Heroes in the Nine States' is extremely wonderful. It records the heroic figures all over the nine states, and many bandit leaders are also recorded.

  The first page records Mount Qingcheng!

  "Huh, it's recorded the battle of Wucheng? That's right, the January 1st version! And that battle was on December 28th. According to Wanxiangmen's intelligence, they knew about it on the same day. Even my words 'Haha, you bunch of trash from Qinghu Island, do you think you can catch me, Teng Qingshan?' are recorded in there."

  About myself, two and a half pages were recorded.

  Very detailed, and also made judgments.

  He is one of the few geniuses in the history of the nine states who has been revered as a saint.

  "Genius of the millennium for the first day?" Teng Qing Shan shook his head and smiled, "Actually, I am now just 'Xiantian Void Dan'! Haven't reached 'Xiantian Solid Dan'. The reason why I'm strong is because of the physical strength trained by internal family fist!"

  As for innate talent, Teng Qing Shan was clear about it. He himself could be considered top-notch at most, but he couldn't be considered the best in a thousand years.

  ******

  After finishing the book, Lu Qing Shan once again became immersed in a state of perfect unity with his horse.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  One night dash!

  ……

  The vast grassland stretches endlessly!

  The entire continent of Jiuzhou is vast, with endless wilderness in the south and vast grasslands in the north. The wilderness and grasslands, one in the south and one in the north, occupy extremely vast territories.

  How vast is it?

  It goes without saying that it is barbarous and uncivilized.

  On this grassland, the population is very sparse, and sometimes you can't see a person in tens of miles! Even on such a sparsely populated grassland, without mentioning the many grassland tribes, the three major kingdoms within the grassland alone have a combined population of over 100 million.

  The entire grassland population has never been counted.

  The land is vast and sparsely populated, yet the total population is so large. It's imaginable how broad its scope is. Crossing the vast grasslands is a very difficult task. Because of many tribes, horse thieves rushing in, and many more. However, for those with innate strength, it's not difficult at all.

  ******

  In the morning, the bright red sun hangs in the east, and its warm rays shine on the endless grassland.

  "A neigh~~~" A fine horse lifted its front hoof high.

  "We've finally arrived at the grasslands!"

  Teng Qing Shan jumped off his horseback and gazed at the scenery of the grassland, feeling somewhat shocked.

  The sky is azure! White clouds are dotted!

  The early spring grassland is a vast expanse of withered yellow, stretching as far as the eye can see!

  Teng Qing Shan had an illusion - the world seemed to be this endless grassland, and the sky was like a lid covering the entire world at its far end. The grassland and the sky were connected!

  "Vast!"

  "Endless!"

  On the endless grassland, in front of the infinite sky, Teng Qing suddenly felt how small he was. Like a tiny grain of sand between heaven and earth!

  Standing on the ground, Teng Qing Shan felt ——

  The earth is one's own roots!

  "Heaven and Earth!"

  If there was someone around, they would have discovered that Teng Qing Shan had suddenly unleashed the 'Horizontal Fist' from the Shape Intention Five Elements Fist. A faint, baby-like smile floated on his face as he slowly and steadily executed each move, like a millstone grinding grain. Gradually, he closed his eyes.

  Teng Qing Shan's mastery of Wu Xing Quan had long since reached the realm of a grandmaster.

  These years, he has been pondering the "Three-Body Style". As for the Five Elements Fist, he rarely practiced it. However, at this moment, Teng Qing Shan's "Horizontal Fist" still had remnants of the Five Elements Fist. But as time passed... Teng Qing Shan's fist technique gradually evolved.

  One time, two times...

  The sun rises in the east, reaches its peak at noon, and sets in the west!

  On the grassland, there were also passersby who saw Teng Qing Shan practicing his fist technique. However, those people only felt that Teng Qing Shan's fist technique was very slow and didn't even bother to pay attention.

  Vast grassland, Teng Qing Shan closed his eyes and practiced 'Horizontal Fist', at this moment, the Horizontal Fist was completely different from the 'Horizontal Fist' of Wu Xing Quan.

  One move, one style, becoming thick and heavy.

  One move, one style, fast as lightning, but looks slow as a grindstone.

  The western sky is all red.

  Another group of passersby passed by here.

  "Look, what is that person doing? His fist technique is so slow, and he's even closing his eyes!" A grassland girl wearing a green robe with a silk belt around her waist exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Teng Qing Shan.

  "Naren Tuya, maybe that's a warrior." said the burly man of the grassland wearing a high-collared thick robe.

  Suddenly, a lean young man rushed towards Teng Qing Shan from the crowd, grabbed the reins of the black-striped horse several meters away from Teng Qing Shan, and the black-striped horse neighed loudly. The horse thief was startled and immediately looked at Teng Qing Shan.

  Kai Ting Qing Shan is still practicing boxing with his eyes closed.

  "Udi! What are you doing?!" The grassland girl was furious.

  "This is a Wutun horse!" The lean young man laughed and said, "Almost a thousand taels of silver for one horse, enough to buy two hundred sheep for our tribe!"

  "Udi, put down your horse, that's the boxing man over there." said an old man with silver hair and a round white hat.

  "Put it down." The grassland girl shouted.

  "Narentuya, stop dreaming! This is two hundred sheep! More than all my possessions!" Udai, the grassland youth, jumped onto his black-striped horse. The well-trained black-striped horse didn't resist much, and as soon as Udai clapped its belly, it ran far away. "Narentuya, come chase me if you can, haha..."

  The grassland girl was furious and immediately ran to Teng Qing's side.

  "Your horse has been stolen!" shouted Lateng Qing Shan, a grassland girl.

  Pong!

  When the grassland girl's hand just touched Teng Qing Shan's body, she was shocked and flew up, then fell to the ground. Fortunately, the grass was thick enough, nothing serious happened.

  "Naruto!"

  At that moment, many people in the team rushed over with a cry of surprise.

  Teng Qing Shan's eyes snapped open, and his gaze cleared: "Just now...". Teng Qing Shan glanced over and saw the western sky was a deep red. "What, it's evening?" Teng Qing Shan vaguely remembered something.

  "Natoriya, are you alright?" A number of people gathered around the girl.

  "What's wrong with you?" a grassland man glared at Teng Qing Shan, "Your horse was stolen and Naren Tuya kindly told you. You even hurt her!"

  Teng Qing Shan also saw from a distance away that figure riding on a black-striped horse, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart.

  Zebra...

  Let it be stolen if it's meant to be stolen. A black-striped horse galloped past the green hills, and I didn't care at all. Unexpectedly, my rare moment of enlightenment was ruined!

  "Sorry, I was practicing boxing just now and didn't know." Teng Qing Shan sincerely apologized, understanding that the grassland girl did not do it on purpose.

  Nanrentoya got up and ran over, a pair of lively and pure eyes staring at Teng Qing Shan, excitedly saying: "You're so powerful! I just touched you and was blown away. I didn't even feel any inner strength. You must be an extremely powerful master. Can you teach me? Just teach me that move that blew me away!"

  "I still have something to do!" Teng Qing Shan looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I'll take my leave first!"

  Then Teng Qing Shan walked alone towards the north.

  "Come with us!" The grassland girl was still shouting, but Teng Qingyun's figure fluttered and soon disappeared into the distance.

  "This is an expert."

  "Truly formidable master."

  Those people were shocked to see Tan Qing's back as he walked away, his casual gait taking him far away in just a short while. This kind of power... they had never seen before.

  "I knew it was a master!" Narinto Ya gazed at the tiny figure in the distance, "If only I could be taught by him, that would be great."

  ……

  On the endless grassland, Teng Qing Shan walked alone with his backpack.

  "Why did that girl have to wake me up?" Teng Qing Shan walked on the grassland, crying and laughing at the same time, feeling very resentful in his heart. Teng Qing Shan clenched his fist, and saw a faint yellowish-brown electric light flashing on his fist, disappearing in an instant.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but let out a loud roar.

  "Should I be delighted or enraged?" Teng Qing Shan was very clear about what had happened the previous day!

  When Teng Qing Shan grew up in Teng Family Village, he was thinking... to create a set of internal fist training methods that are more powerful than the "Tiger Shape Divine Fist"! And this goal, Teng Qing Shan has never given up on it!

  "Trisolaran" style, Teng Qing Shan has been practicing.

  The "Xing Yi Wu Xing Gun" was created by Teng Qing Shan with four moves, and this spear method also contains the inner family fist realm.

  For Qing Shan...

  Cultivating internal energy and innate true yuan is just a byproduct! Whether in past lives or this life, the most exhausting thing has always been internal martial arts! However - due to the thinness of the earth's spiritual energy, reaching the realm of the ancestor master is already the limit!

  Hong Qing Shan has already reached the realm of a Grandmaster!

  And he thought - there is an even more profound realm beyond the realm of the ancestors!

  To reach a higher level, we must create a set of internal fist techniques that surpasses the "Tiger Shape Divine Movement"!

  "Just now... if she hadn't disturbed me. Letting me cultivate under that state for ten days or half a month, I estimate I could create an internal fist technique even more profound than the 'Tiger Shape Divine Movement Technique'." Teng Qing Shan cursed in his heart.

  This enlightenment is hard to come by!

  Teng Qing Shan, after experiencing numerous hardships and setbacks, coupled with the death of Zhuge Qing, was forced to leave his loved ones behind and travel far away. All this tempered Teng Qing Shan's spirit.

  Second, it is also the accumulation of Qing Shan's thick and thin hair! The previous life was a master. In this life, he has been practicing for more than ten years, and the three-body style has been practiced for many years, reaching an extremely high level in terms of realm. Only by accumulating thickness and firing thinly can one suddenly enlighten in a morning.

  Thirdly, he also escaped from the brink of death to the vast grasslands! The endless sky and the boundless earth... left him deeply shaken.

  The three combined, and suddenly the misty mountains seemed to be in a trance, falling into a profound and mysterious realm!

  "Just practiced for a day, new fist method, just created the beginning!" Teng Qing Shan now only remembers two moves.

  On the prairie.

  Teng Qing Shan was practicing those two moves, but after half an hour of practice, Teng Qing Shan had no choice but to give up.

  "There's always a feeling of wanting to burst out, but being suddenly cut off. A feeling of wanting to spit blood! Deng Qing Shan felt his internal energy surging, "It seems I haven't reached that level yet! Only in that special state from before can I practice freely!"

  Just one day... but the results made Tan Qingyuan's heart excited.

  "Actually, the realm of internal martial arts is to communicate with heaven and earth!" Teng Qing Shan looked at his fist, vaguely, with a flash of yellow light, "And what I previously realized should be the 'earth element' in the five elements of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, I only touched the surface!"

  Although Hong Qingshan was somewhat reluctant, he was still a little excited in his heart.

  Because ——

  He finally has a clear direction rather than being confused and ignorant!

  "This time I can suddenly enlighten, it means that my internal martial arts realm has reached the limit! As long as I continue to cultivate like this, I will definitely break through the 'Master's Realm' and reach a new height!" Teng Qing Shan had always had an ambition in his heart.

  On this vast land of Nine States, there are two cultivation systems.

  One is Taoist!

  Whether it's the Yu Huangmen, the Ying family and other major sects, or the Guiyuan Sect, they all go through the four major stages of Hou Tian, Xian Tian, Xu Jing, and Zhi Qiang. Cultivation is internal energy, true yuan, and practicing Xian Tian Jindan in the dantian!

  Another one is Buddhism!

  Buddhist cultivation mainly consists of 'Mani Temple', which is divided into four major stages: ordinary martial monks, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas (the strongest). The location of the practice of Sarira is inside the Mud Ball Palace.

  Teng Qing Shan has an ambition!

  Create a third system outside of Buddhism and Taoism!

  Neijia Quan System!

  In this system, the main focus of cultivation is not 'Mud Ball Palace' nor Dan Tian. The primary focus is on the human body! This internal fist system boundary is divided into ordinary martial artist, master, and as for the realm above the master, Teng Qing Shan did not know in the past... But now he has touched the edge!

  "This time, watching Yu Huang's axe method is secondary. The most important thing is to create the third level of internal family boxing!" Teng Qingshan was ambitious at this moment.

  On the vast grassland.

  Teng Qing Shan walked alone, gradually getting farther and farther away.
