Volume 2: Flying Universe Squad Chapter 169: Leaked Chapter 33: Legacy of the Law

  The hotel Zhao Xue found was the highest level in Wusong Town, and also arranged a separate small courtyard for Guo Fei, with two main rooms and an accompanying bathroom.

  Guo Fei naturally went to take a bath first, and the hotel owner quickly arranged for hot water.

  When Guo Fei took off his worn-out clothes and jumped into the warm bathtub, he couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Since coming to this world, it seemed that he hadn't taken a bath before, and washing his face was also very rare. Soaking in the hot water felt like being reborn. The thick layer of grime on his body fell off into the clear water, making Guo Fei think of the bathing pool from his university days, what nostalgia!

  "I'll have money soon, why not find a woman in this world to play with? Can't be too hard on myself!" Guo Fei murmured contentedly, muttering to himself.

  Lao Er bragged that in the "Cuì Hóng Gé" there was a prostitute named "Yān Zhī Hóng", who was very beautiful, and to see her true face would cost five gold coins, and to accompany her for wine would be ten gold coins, and she never sold herself. Guo Fei thought about whether he should go see her tomorrow, Lao Er often mentioned it, which made Guo Fei's heart itch.

  As expected, men become corrupt when they have money!

  "Hiss!" Just as Guo Fei was lounging in the hot tub, lost in thought, a faint tremor came from outside the window. The window creaked open and a black figure darted inside, dodging Guo Fei's line of sight. It rummaged through his tattered clothes, searching for something, and then searched two bags containing soul crystals. Not finding anything, the black-clad figure grasped a dagger in its hand, feeling somewhat frustrated, and crept closer to Guo Fei's bathtub.

  "Clang!" The Xuan Tie sword placed beside the bathtub suddenly let out a soft hum, and at the same time, its body slightly popped out, emitting a white light that shone on the black-clothed person, instantly illuminating the surroundings.

  The man in black raised his hand and a dagger flew straight at Guo Fei, who was washing up with his eyes closed.

  Lying in the bathtub, Guo Fei suddenly felt a sense of danger, a warning signal transmitted from the Xuan Tie sword. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a black dagger rushing towards him through the rising water vapor. Guo Fei's mind moved swiftly, and in an instant, he transformed into a ninja. With a slap on the bathtub, his body suddenly leapt into the air. In the moment he jumped out of the water, the dagger grazed his body and fell into the bathtub.

  Kuo Fei's body spun around, and as he fell, he withdrew the ninja and transformed into a sword soldier. With one gesture, the Xuan Tie Sword was unsheathed and entered his hand. He turned around and a sword light slashed towards the black-clothed man.

  This series of actions happened in the blink of an eye, and the black-clad man let out a cry of surprise, quickly retreating backwards. However, the invisible sword energy instantly pierced through three meters, cutting off one of his arms, along with the soul crystal pouch that he had taken from Guo Fei, which fell to the ground together with the severed arm. The black-clad man clutched at his wound, let out a muffled cry, and then sprang upwards, escaping through the window and disappearing onto the rooftop.

  Kuo Fei's body was tense, but he didn't give chase, his face as calm as still water as he pondered.

  "Grandma's, taking action at this time, the timing is really good." Guo Fei thought to himself, his heart was shocked, and this was exactly when he was least on guard.

  Who was it, Zhao Xue or Zhao Ba, this black-clad person came for what reason, seemingly not to kill himself, mainly to search, killing himself seemed like a sudden impulse.

  If it's just about having treasure on oneself, this person is likely to be sent by Zhao Xue; if it's for the treasure and also wants one's life, the possibility of being Zhao Ba is very high. If Zhao Xue wants his own life, he must flee immediately. If Zhao Ba wants his own life, it's not a big problem, he doesn't dare come openly, as for coming secretly, there are still many trump cards left, and he doesn't mind giving him some "experience". Guo Fei thought for a while, took out the hotel's pajamas, and called the boss to clean up the severed arm on the ground.

  The boss's face changed greatly, frightened to the point of pale complexion. In the dead of night, Guo Fei's residence was a secluded small courtyard, and he didn't hear the fight at all. At this time, he was afraid that Guo Fei would blame him. But seeing that Guo Fei seemed to ignore him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and cleaned up the bloodstains on his broken arm.

  Guo Fei returned to the bedroom, stretched out his hand, and two dead soldiers appeared in the room, sitting in the dark shadow at the corner of the wall. He then placed the Xuan Tie sword on the headboard before calming down, lying on the bed to rest.

  It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably, and it wasn't until the second day when the sun was high in the sky that Guo Fei slowly woke up, feeling refreshed and invigorated. He casually put away the two diligent and responsible corpse soldiers who had been practicing qigong exercises into the space of his military emblem, then put on the hotel's pajamas and walked to the outer living room.

  Time was not long, the hotel owner came up for breakfast, and just after finishing breakfast, the county lord's people arrived.

  This was a young maid, wearing a popular female martial attire on the mainland. Her face wasn't bad-looking and she had a sharp aura about her. She directly came to Guo Fei's living room to pay her respects to him.

  "Xiao Mei has seen Master Guo. This is something the princess gave you to bring, the princess and the prince have returned to the county city, the princess wants you to wait for her news in Wusong Town."

  "Hehe. Master Guo, I'm not worthy of such a title, we're both poor people, no need to be so polite." Guo Fei smiled and took the package from the maid.

  The maid smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "I dare not, the young lady ordered me to treat you with courtesy!"

  "Haha!" Guo Fei smiled, opening the package. Inside was a set of martial attire and a bag of gold coins. Guo Fei roughly checked it out and estimated there were several thousand coins.

  "Go back and tell the young lady that she doesn't have to rush to pay me the two hundred thousand gold coins, these few thousand will be enough for me to spend for a while." Guo Fei said with a hint.

  The maid named Xiaomei showed a hint of indescribable astonishment in her eyes, this question was obviously directly asking the county master for money, she didn't say anything, lightly curtsied and turned to leave.

  Guo Fei opened the package and took out the warrior costume. He had to say, Zhao Xue was still very considerate, this set of clothes fit him perfectly. Guo Fei carefully checked it over and found nothing unusual, so he put it on.

  "It seems Zhao Xue has no ill intentions towards herself! If she does, it's to check if she has any hidden treasures." Guo Fei put on his clothes, pondered for a moment, and decided to proceed with the plan.

  For three consecutive days, Guo Fei did not go out and instead focused on reading. The two books placed in the space of the military symbol, one was "The Sword Classic" obtained from Wang Zhi's body, and the other was "The Art of Refining Instruments" obtained from the underground fire lake.

  Understanding of this world, especially the knowledge of monks, must be acquired from books to gain insight and broaden one's horizons, which is the fastest shortcut.

  "The Sword Classic" contains a set of sword techniques and a set of breathing exercises for cultivating true energy, called "Condensing Energy Decision". However, after trying it out, Guo Fei felt that it was far inferior to the breathing exercises taught by Wen Shu; this set of sword techniques is also not as exquisite as the sword techniques taught by Wen Shu.

  However, from this book, Guo Fei still learned some information. The martial skills of this world are not so simple, especially the methods of motivating yuanqi. Due to being too complicated, they are not recorded in writing, but are passed down through "methods". These methods are generally hidden in "sealed crystals" and jade symbols, which are one-time consumable items. To create such a "method", one's cultivation must be at least at the level of Zun, and one must also master the technique of creation.

  Through reading this book, Guo Fei only then discovered how cruel and unfair the world was. Poor people might never come into contact with such a "Law Seed" technique in their entire lives. Guo Fei could be certain that the golden flame sealed within the crystal ball in his Martial Symbol space was precisely a "Law Seed".

  In addition, there are the scriptures for cultivating Yuanjing. Although these scriptures are written in words, they are complex and difficult to understand. Without the guidance of a master, it is hard to comprehend them on one's own, as difficult as ascending to heaven. Moreover, such scriptures are all held by large empires or powerful clans and will never be revealed to outsiders.

  The most practical book is "Equipment Refining Techniques". This is a book on equipment refining, which explains the techniques of forging and describes the characteristics of the weapons obtained through annual refining. On the surface of the equipment are special equipment, and the characteristic of special equipment is that the weapon can stimulate its own inherent properties. According to Guo Fei's understanding, this characteristic is like Zhao Wang's axe, which stimulates the "crazy" property.

  Moreover, from the craftsmanship in the book, Guo Fei's Xuan Tie sword craftsmanship seems simple, but actually contains the rules mentioned in the book, without destroying the "momentum" of this piece of Xuan Tie, which is the life factor accumulated by Xuan Tie between heaven and earth. All things have spirit, metal is no exception, Wen Shu kept its overall "momentum" during the forging process, indicating that he deeply understands this way.

  This can prove that Wen Shu is by no means an ordinary person!

  According to the book, this book is a mystery that "Jinyanmen" does not pass on, only passed down to the master, from the language in the book, it can be seen that Jinyanmen is a refining sect from the Western Regions.

  "Could it be that the Western Regions are not governed by countries, but by numerous sects?" Guo Fei was somewhat astonished. In Beiyuan, he had never heard of any sects having such power. There were only duchies, kingdoms and empires.
