Chapter 454: First Arrival at Linshan

The autumn in the Xuanwu Empire is very strange. The sun will burn you very uncomfortable during the day, but once you leave the sunlight, you will feel a cool breeze all over your body. After the sun sets, the temperature will drop sharply, making people feel as if they have entered winter.

In fact, it is not really winter at this time, but it is late autumn now. The wind is very strong, and it is difficult to see many clouds in the sky, and there is no possibility of rain at all.

On a tributary of the Yexuan River, a single-masted boat is sailing quickly on the water. To sail on such a small river, you need to have very skilled driving skills and a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, which can see the complex underwater situation from a few feet away.

A young man, wearing a bamboo hat at this time, skillfully controls the boat, turning left and right in the river and driving forward quickly. From a distance, the boy looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly thin figure. He wears a sleeveless tight short shirt on his upper body and stands barefoot at the stern.

The boy looked no different from other boys from fishermen's families, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he must have a good cultivation level to be able to sail on the river in a single piece of clothing in late autumn.

The boy sailing in front of him was Zuo Feng, who had come all the way from the Ye Lin Empire to the Xuanwu Empire to find the antidote.

It had been more than ten days since the shocking battle in Xinjun City. In the past ten days, they had not stayed in any place for too long, and had almost no contact with outsiders.

Because they were riding on a single-masted boat, whenever they saw a village on the shore from a distance, they would stop the boat on the river and get off the boat to buy some daily necessities. Su Yan would take time to go to the shore to inquire about the various news coming and going, of course, she was mainly concerned about the changes in Xinjun City.

But what made it helpless was that she still had not received any accurate news until today, and no one even knew the current situation of Xinjun City along the way. However, Zuo Feng had expected these situations, but Su Yan was too concerned, and her stubborn character still made him insist on inquiring until now.

The Xuanwu Empire went from Ganxu County to Linshan County, and had to cross two counties diagonally to reach Linshan County where the Kang family was located. The main transportation along the way all relied on waterways, and few people traveled such a long distance by land.

The reason why Zuo Feng reminded Su Yan that he would not get any useful information along the way was because although they saw many boats going upstream, they did not see a boat passing in the same direction as them.

This shows that the river was blocked, and the waterway from the upper reaches of the Yexuan River to the lower reaches was blocked. No matter which force did this, it can be confirmed that their purpose of doing so was to completely block the news. So Su Yan asked around like this, not to mention the more serious and accurate information, even the lies heard from others could not be found.

These days, Su Yan was in a very bad mood, but Zuo Feng was very happy. During the day, he followed Amber to learn the skills of driving a boat, and at night he would pester Amber to ask about refining medicine and acupuncture. It can be said that Zuo Feng's harvest these days is the richest among these people.

Amber had a very good impression of Zuo Feng, and he patiently explained to him his experiences over the years. And Amber was worthy of having a cultivation level beyond his peers. During the sailing, he would seize any opportunity to practice, and sometimes he would even seek out Zuo Feng for a fight.

Unlike Li Yuan and Su Yan, he had not seen Zuo Feng showing off his skills in Xinjun City. When the two of them fought for the first time, Amber had just finished saying, "Little brother, just attack, I will definitely let you go a little." Before she even finished speaking, she was kicked into the water by Zuo Feng.

Amber was shocked by this, but Su Yan had been staring at him with sympathy as if he were a fool since the beginning of Amber's challenge. When Amber finished her big talk, Su Yan could no longer bear to watch. When Amber fell into the water, she just shook her head slightly.

Later, Amber became attached to Zuo Feng. Whenever Zuo Feng did not discuss learning with Amber, he would jump out and challenge Zuo Feng. At the same time, Zuo Feng started with one hand, then both hands, and finally covered his eyes to fight with Amber.

Even so, Amber could not defeat Zuo Feng, and he was so angry that he almost died. Zuo Feng had a very good impression of this young man, and after a period of getting along, Zuo Feng found that Amber was actually a good man who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he was even more loyal to his friends.

Maybe because he had been cultivated as a chess piece by the Kang family, he would always act like a thousand miles away when dealing with other people.

As they traveled along the way, the relationship between Amber, Zuo Feng, and Amber became closer and closer, and the central figure of the three was Zuo Feng, the youngest. Although Amber had a deep attainment in refining medicine and pressing and piercing acupoints, he liked to discuss various wild ideas and opinions with Zuo Feng very much.

Especially Zuo Feng's proposal to combine medicine and acupressure to achieve a more perfect state in the transformation of body and Qi training completely attracted the old man Amber. When Amber reminded Zuo Feng at the beginning, he only told him the experience of a senior who had taught him. He didn't expect that Zuo Feng, who was still young, would have such a deep understanding.

Amber knew many powerful moves and martial arts, but she couldn't defeat Zuo Feng in actual combat. Even if the opponent gave in once and again, it still couldn't change the result.

However, Zuo Feng had no secrets about Amber and taught him all the melee combat techniques he had developed. Zuo Feng's melee combat techniques were all learned through fighting wild beasts and countless life-and-death battles. Amber couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and also understood why he was so inferior to his opponent in the competition.

Amber didn't hide anything. Except for a few martial arts that the Kang family strictly prohibited from leaking, he taught Zuo Feng all the martial arts he knew. Zuo Feng didn't have much interest in marksmanship skills, but he was very interested in Amber's set of leg skills.

Moreover, Zuo Feng also found out the movement and martial arts skills he had obtained in the chaotic land, and studied and studied them with Amber. That set of martial arts that moves like a snake is called the Snake Step. Although it looks like it moves in an arc like a snake, in fact there is some kind of truth hidden in it, which is even better than walking in a straight line. It should go faster.

If they simply learn this set of martial arts and even use it freely, it will not be too difficult for Amber and Zuo Feng. The important thing is to apply this set of martial arts in actual combat, which is a troublesome thing. .

Because the performance of martial arts is fixed, especially the use of body martial arts is subject to many restrictions, the cooperation of spiritual energy and footwork is indispensable. If you want to use body movements and martial arts in actual combat, you must thoroughly understand the martial arts and hone them in constant actual combat.

It took the two of them seven or eight days, but they were only able to incorporate this martial skill into actual combat. However, once the battle dragged on for a longer time, this physical martial skill would no longer be used.

After these days of traveling, when setting off today, Amber proposed to say goodbye to everyone. Because if you go further, you will enter Linshan County, which is also the county where the Kang family is located. When he left the family, he promised the head of the family that he would never return to Linshan County to cause embarrassment to him.

Zuo Feng was the one who couldn't bear to leave Amber the most. After everyone said goodbye, Zuo Feng secretly pulled Amber down to a secluded place. Then, like a magic trick, he pulled out a heavy small bundle. Amber opened the bundle in confusion and found that there were dozens of gold cakes inside.

How could Amber dare to ask for such a large amount of money? Zuo Feng had no choice but to tell him the origin of the money, and Amber accepted the gold cakes. Then Zuo Feng mysteriously took out a book. Seeing that the ink on it was still very new, Amber didn't take it too seriously. But until he saw the words on it, Amber was stunned. In place.

"Detailed explanation of runes"

Amber was shocked by the four not-so-pretty words. He slowly flipped through the book with trembling hands. The contents inside almost made Amber unable to breathe for a long time. After flipping through the pages for a while, he reluctantly closed the book and slowly handed it back to Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng originally thought that there was something wrong with his writing. After listening to Amber's explanation, he realized that the use of this rune was generally only known to a few empires and dozens of top alchemy masters. Such a precious book I really don’t dare to stay.

Zuo Feng ignored Amber's refusal and forced the book into Amber's arms, regardless of whether doing so would damage the book.

‘Anyway, I wrote this book myself. Due to limited time, I could only write half of it. I’ll copy the other half and give it to Amber when I have a chance. ’

With this thought in his mind, Zuo Feng left Amber behind and returned to the ship alone. And when he left, he mysteriously said to Amber: "Don't leave Linshan County too far, we will meet again soon."

Amber was confused, but Zuo Feng patted his butt and jumped onto the boat. Zuo Feng also knew how valuable the things he gave Amber were, but compared to what Amber had taught him since they met, these little things were nothing.

Zuo Feng was still thinking about where Amber would stay when he saw Su Yan and Amber standing up at the bow of the boat at the same time and looking towards a hill in the distance.

"We're home, we're home!"

Amber murmured quietly, and Zuo Feng frowned and looked at the two of them. Suyan turned her head, pointed to a bare hill in front of her and said, "After passing that hill, we will reach Linshan County further on. We will return to Kang's house soon."
