Zhou Shu stood on the stand, his clothes not moving in the wind, and his whole body fluttering like a fairy.
Yin Chengshan and others looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
Mr. Hou, this is——
Has your cultivation level reached a breakthrough?
"Captain, you have a high level of cultivation. Can you tell what level of cultivation the Marquis has now?"
A Demon Slayer Army soldier asked in a low voice.
"Before, Lord Marquis should have been at the eighth level of martial arts——"
Yin Chengshan Road.
He has never concealed Zhou Shu's spiritual cultivation level. Yin Chengshan's spiritual cultivation level is at the sixth level of martial arts. Naturally, it can be seen that Zhou Shu's spiritual cultivation level is only at the eighth level of martial arts.
"If I remember correctly, it seems that the Marquis only came into contact with martial arts for a few months..."
A soldier from the Demon-Slaying Army who paid more attention to Zhou Shu's information said weakly.
Zhou Shu's spiritual cultivation has never been a secret, and anyone who cares can know it.
Zhou Shu never thought of hiding this.
After all, this Lingyuan cultivation level came from his cultivation of the Xuanhuang Jade Book. He came from aboveboard and was not afraid of seeing others.
"In one month, from the first level to the seventh level of martial arts, is this a genius?"
Yin Chengshan and others all felt like they wanted to hide their faces and cry. People are really incomparable.
This Marquis is not only unparalleled in the world in his ability to forge weapons, but his talent in martial arts is so perverted that he can gain enlightenment just by watching them kill monsters. How can others survive?
"This is genius!"
Yin Chengshan deliberately imitated Zhou Shu's temperament and said, "Don't be discouraged. There are many geniuses in this world. Some people can become third-level masters in their teens. We may not reach that level in our lifetime. Is it because
Don’t we need to practice this?”
"No, the more this happens, the more we have to work hard! The Marquis lends me the giant sword, this is our chance! As long as we shine in martial arts, the imperial court's reward will allow us all to win.
When the time comes, if we kill more demons, the future may not be bright!"
Yin Chengshan holds the giant sword in his hand, as if he holds the whole world in his hands!
Zhou Shu in the stands seemed to be in a daze.
In front of his eyes, the Atlas of Divine Weapons had turned to the page of the Giant Sword, and the barrage was also passing before his eyes.
[The giant sword you forged successfully killed, and the spiritual essence cultivation level improved by ten percent!]
This is the real reason for his breakthrough in public!
You know your own business.
Zhou Shu knew very well that he might have some talent in building weapons, but his talent in martial arts was really inferior to that of ordinary people.
Even the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, which is a technique that anyone can practice, he has to spend the most years to improve.
Jin Lun Dharma King can cultivate to the tenth level in a few decades, but he needs to cultivate for thousands of years.
What does this mean?
This shows that what he has cultivated in one year may only take others a month or even a few days to achieve.
Such martial arts qualifications can only be said to be appallingly poor.
If he had to practice on his own, I'm afraid he might not be able to reach the seventh level of martial arts in this life.
The previous breakthrough from the ninth level of martial arts to the eighth level of martial arts was because of the breakthrough in Jinzhongzhao's cultivation level, which incidentally affected his absorption of spiritual energy.
But this time, the Divine Weapon Atlas directly reported Lingyuan’s cultivation level!
The initial feedback from the Juque Sword was the Eighteen Shocking Swords, but when I used the Juque Sword to kill Xiao Shunzhi, the Eighteen Shocking Swords had already reached its perfection.
At that time, Zhou Shu was thinking that the Eighteen Shocking Swords had been completed. If the giant sword succeeded in killing him in the future, wouldn't it mean that there would be no prize for the Divine Weapon Atlas Award?
Unexpectedly, after completing the Eighteen Shocking Swords, the Divine Weapon Atlas began to reward Lingyuan cultivation!
Is it possible that after the initial reward of each weapon is fulfilled, the subsequent rewards will all be spiritual cultivation?
That’s not bad.
As Zhou Shu thought about it, his aura gradually subsided, and the fluttering corners of his clothes slowly fell down.
Looking at Yin Chengshan and others under the stands, Zhou Shu stepped lightly on his feet and jumped down from the stands with a very graceful posture.
"You generals are mighty!"
Zhou Shu applauded and praised.
Yin Chengshan and others were slightly embarrassed. If Zhou Shu hadn't made this breakthrough, they would still be very proud.
They performed very well just now, killing a black bear monster that had reached the seventh level of martial arts without any damage.
You know, this rough-skinned monster is extremely difficult to kill. In the past, at least a few of them would have suffered minor injuries.
Being able to kill this black bear monster without any damage is definitely a good achievement for their entire team.
But after seeing Zhou Shu's breakthrough in cultivation, they could no longer be proud.
They just watched for a while and then directly broke through to the first level. What do you and others have to be proud of?
"Master Hou, this giant sword is so easy to use, I don't even know how to thank you."
Yin Chengshan is upright.
"If you want to thank me, then use this giant sword to kill more monsters."
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"Master Hou is righteous!"
Yin Chengshan thought to himself that he thought Zhou Shu meant that you would repay me by defending Daxia well.
Mr. Hou is really a national scholar who is worried about his country!
How lucky I, Yin Chengshan, am to be able to borrow my sword from the Marquis!
"General Yin, I want to see the Demon Slayer Army again. Isn't it convenient?"
Zhou Shu smiled.
"What's there? I'll show you around, Mr. Hou. Except for a few places, Mr. Hou can go to all other places."
Yin Chengshan said.
……
Daxia Palace, in the Royal Study Room.
Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty looked a little stunned.
"You mean, that boy Zhou Shu broke through to the eighth level of martial arts just by watching a demon-slaying operation?"
"This is the seventh level of martial arts, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Zhao corrected him.
Emperor Yuan Feng felt his teeth hurt a little, "It seems like it was less than a month ago that he was admitted to the imperial examination, right?"
"Actually, it's been more than a month, almost forty days."
Eunuch Zhao whispered.
Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty had sore teeth. Is there a big difference between forty days and one month?
In such a short period of time, his cultivation has been promoted to the third level. Is this kid a freak?
"Actually, his improvement speed is not that fast. The young Marquis of Weiyuan entered the first level not long before him, and he is now at the sixth level."
Mr. Zhao is fair.
Emperor Yuan Feng rolled his eyes, can this be the same?
How many treasures of heaven and earth have the boy Sun Ping Ping swallowed since he was a child?
He breaks through quickly because the medicine accumulated in his body is released.
Where is Zhou Shu?
He grew up in the workshop of the Forging Department. Where did he get the natural materials and treasures for him to take?
He relies solely on his talent!
Fortunately, he is one of our own. If he were an enemy, he would definitely become a serious problem.
"Your Majesty, according to the rules, when the martial arts cultivation level is improved, the court must give a reward. How do you think Lord Zhou should determine this reward?"
Eunuch Zhao whispered.
When the court's warriors improve their cultivation, the court will give a reward as usual. This is similar to Zhou Shu's previous life, where the company would give employees a bonus based on what certificate they passed.
The money may not be too much, but the important thing is encouragement.
Originally a warrior of the eighth level of martial arts was promoted to the seventh level of martial arts. Such trivial matters did not bother the emperor at all.
But Zhou Shu is not an ordinary person, he is a dignified Marquis of Youzhou.
There are some problems here. If you give rewards according to the general practice, who are you looking down on?
Second-grade Marquis, isn’t such a small reward just for begging?
So the minister in charge of this matter came to Eunuch Zhao and wanted Eunuch Zhao to help find out what His Majesty said.
After all, the Youzhou Marquis is now a popular person in His Majesty’s eyes.
"No! What can I give him?" Emperor Yuan Feng snorted coldly, "Didn't I give him enough?"
The little cotton-padded jacket is almost worn by him!
Eunuch Zhao didn't know where Emperor Yuan Feng's temper came from, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will explain it to you now."
Eunuch Zhao whispered.
"Wait!"
Just when Eunuch Zhao was about to walk out, Emperor Yuan Feng stopped him.
"Why should the boy named Zhou be given special treatment by me?"
Emperor Yuan Feng said with a somewhat tangled expression, "His martial arts cultivation has reached a breakthrough. If you go and give him the secret recipe for the Molten Sunset Sword, it should be regarded as a reward!"
"The secret recipe for casting the Molten Sunset Knife?"
Eunuch Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eighth level of martial arts is promoted to the seventh level. According to the convention, the reward is a hundred taels of gold. You directly reward a secret recipe for casting a yellow-grade weapon. The value is more than a hundred taels of gold.
Isn’t this considered special treatment?
Your Majesty, you say you don’t appreciate it, but your body is still very honest.
Eunuch Zhao complained in his heart, but on the surface he said "yes" respectfully, and then went to arrange it himself.
Originally, there was no need for him, the eunuch, to intervene in this matter, but it was obvious that His Majesty had a special regard for Lord Zhou, so he had better take advantage of the present to establish a good relationship with him...
……
Zhou Shu returned to the Hou Mansion from the Demon-Slaying Army without having finished his thoughts, and was filled with emotion in his heart.
Although the monsters in this world are not as exaggerated as the legends I heard in my previous life, they should not be underestimated.
Yin Chengshan and the others could only deal with lower-level third-grade monsters. Apart from being stronger and knowing some superficial spells, there was nothing else.
However, when they reach the third level, the monster's intelligence is already very strong, making it much more difficult to deal with.
As for the third-level monsters, apart from being unable to turn into human form and unable to speak human words, they are actually almost the same as human beings.
Their intelligence is not inferior to humans at all, and they can even learn the art of war.
According to Yin Chengshan and others, over in Da Qin, monster beasts even established a country, and from time to time they would launch waves of beasts to attack Da Qin, causing Da Qin to be disturbed.
However, due to the geographical environment in Daxia, there are very few upper-level third-level monsters, and even middle-level third-level monsters are rare.
This is also one of the reasons why Daxia's strength is gradually declining. He was born in sorrow and died in happiness.
Too much peace may not be a good thing for a country.
"Although there are not many upper-level third-level monsters, it is the same for killing lower-level third-level monsters."
Zhou Shu thought, "The weapons in the hands of the Demon-Slaying Army are much better than those in the hands of the Divine Catcher. The magic pens of the Divine Catcher cannot kill a person for several months, but the Demon-Slayer Army can kill almost every day."
I'm slaying demons."
"Yin Chengshan said that his team will go on a mission every ten and a half days, and each mission can kill three or five monsters. What a good worker these are."
As long as you give them the weapons you forged, they will help you get feedback on the magic weapon map for free. Such a good worker must not be let go!
"However, I don't have many secret recipes for forging high-grade weapons now. It seems that I have to study harder and forge more high-grade weapons."
After the weapons entered the market, the Divine Weapon Atlas has undergone great changes, one of which is that the number of purchased weapons is no longer displayed.
In other words, only the first one of the imported weapons will produce feedback. No matter how many weapons are cast, only the first one will be valuable to Zhou Shu.
In this case, Zhou Shu had no intention of casting multiple pieces of one high-grade weapon. Just one high-grade weapon could be cast!
What he currently masters are the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, the Giant Que Sword, and the Three Swords of Emperor Yin.
The first two have already been assigned, and the three swords of Emperor Yin can only be used after the military parade.
"Take advantage of this time to study and cast a knife for Yin Chengshan?"
Zhou Shu thought that after all, the Juque Sword could only be lent to Yin Chengshan temporarily. If it were really given to him, Emperor Yuan Feng would not be able to justify it.
The drawings of Huaxia Pavilion have not been designed yet, and he has nothing else to do. He can completely design another weapon.
It's just that there are only a few days left for the military parade. In these few days, he is not sure that he can design the weapons.
"Master Hou, Eunuch Zhao is here."
Just as I was thinking about it, the housekeeper came to report again.
……
"Eunuch Zhao, welcome."
Zhou Shu greeted him with a smile, but the scene of him standing outside his door with the night wind flashing through his mind, made him smile even happier.
"Has something good happened to Mr. Hou?"
Eunuch Zhao was a little curious when he saw Zhou Shu smiling so happily.
"Eunuch Zhao, you come here and the flowers will shine. Isn't that a good thing?"
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
By the way, Eunuch Zhao is indeed a good man. Every time he comes, he brings a lot of benefits to himself.
But having said that, I don’t seem to have done anything meritorious recently.
"Eunuch Zhao, what advice do you have here?"
Zhou Shu asked curiously.
"Our family is here to congratulate Mr. Hou."
Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, "It's great to congratulate Lord Marquis for being promoted from the eighth level of martial arts to the seventh level of martial arts."
"Oh, you know it too?"
Zhou Shu said that he was not surprised. After all, he broke through in public in the demon-slaying army. It would be strange if Eunuch Zhao didn't know.
"Master Marquis, according to our Daxia rules, if warriors break through the realm, the court will reward them."
Eunuch Zhao did not answer the question and said with a smile, "Originally, you need to register in the register before the reward will be issued. However, your status is different, Mr. Hou, so I will directly deliver the reward to you, Mr. Hou."
"Really?"
Zhou Shu laughed sincerely. Sure enough, except for being a bit ugly, Eunuch Zhao was just like a good boy. He always gave out benefits every time he came. He was a good man.
"What are the rewards? It's not a big deal to be promoted from the eighth level to the seventh level of martial arts. The court is too polite."
He rubbed his hands. He liked things that were beneficial.
"Your Majesty treated the Marquis particularly well and specially selected a secret recipe for making soldiers from the Royal Library."
Zhao Gonggong said, "Although it is just a secret recipe for casting Huangpin weapons, this weapon is very powerful. It was also among the top ten Huangpin weapons in the past. However, in recent years, no one has been able to cast it, so it is famous.
I don’t want to show it, I hope it can regain its brilliance when it is in the hands of the Marquis."
