Both of them are Jinwu Guards, and the Jinwu Guards have special status. In addition to guarding special places like the Martial Palace, they also have a more important task, which is to guard the royal family and protect the emperor. The two of them know very well what is in the palace.
Everything related to dragons is related to the royal family. In the Shang Dynasty, this was a taboo, and the five-clawed golden dragon was the taboo among taboos. As far as the two knew, there was only one person who could use this token.
He is today's great merchant prince.
"S-Sir, we didn't know it was His Highness's..., please forgive me."
The two looked frightened, and their attitudes were completely different from before.
The young man in front of them was inconspicuous and did not look prominent. However, neither of them expected that the young man had a deep connection with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The token in Chen Shaojun's hand is the personal token of the Crown Prince, and he will not cheat on others easily. The other party can obtain the Crown Prince's token, which obviously has a very high status in the East Palace. This is something that the two of them cannot afford to offend.
"Shh, you two adults don't have to be polite. I just want to come to the Martial Palace to practice for a while. In addition, both I and Your Highness hope to keep a low profile. We don't want to be too public and attract too much attention. I also hope that the two adults will keep it secret."
Chen Shaojun lowered his voice and said.
"I understand, I understand."
The two nodded hurriedly, but soon thought of something, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
"Sir, there is one thing... The Martial Palace has its rules. Everyone who enters the Martial Palace must register their identity information. This is a rule and we can't change it. You see..."
When Chen Shaojun heard this, he immediately understood what the two of them meant and knew that they were not deliberately making things difficult, they just wanted to go through the motions.
"This is easy to handle."
Chen Shaojun smiled and thought of Wang Xiaonian in the Confucian Temple. He seemed to remember that Wang Xiaonian came from the land of Jingyue.
"Please help me register Chen Jun, the son of the Jingyue general."
"Understood! We'll do it for you right now."
As if they were granted amnesty, the two quickly went to register information for Chen Shaojun.
With an identity, no matter what Chen Shaojun does next in the Martial Palace, the two of them can explain it to their superiors. In just a moment, the two of them completed everything and handed a token to enter and exit the Martial Palace into Chen Shaojun's hands.
"Thank you!"
Chen Shaojun took the token and quickly entered the martial arts hall.
The martial arts hall was bustling with activity. Chen Shaojun had not taken a few steps when he saw a group of sons of military commanders and disciples of aristocratic families walking around, competing and practicing martial arts. Their bodies were full of blood, like
It's like a wave and looks amazing.
The most special thing was that Chen Shaojun saw that at least half of them were wearing heavy armor. It was obvious at a glance that these armors were treasures and were expensive to make.
"The military general's family is indeed wealthy."
Chen Shaojun secretly thought in his heart. Most of these people wearing armor are the children of military generals. As long as they make meritorious service, they will receive a large amount of rewards. This aspect is completely different from civil servants who can only receive fixed salaries.
Even though Chen Shaojun's father was the Minister of Household Affairs, and his official rank was promoted to the second rank, he could not be compared with these military generals in terms of salary. As for the aristocratic families, there are many family industries, and some of them are directly engaged in the business of magic weapons and elixirs, which is a real
Richest in the world.
Wen and Wu are two completely different worlds.
Chen Shaojun suppressed his thoughts and quickly walked inside.
Civilization and martial arts have different paths. Although the Martial Palace is in the capital, Chen Shaojun never entered it.
Everywhere in the Martial Palace was inlaid with gold and jade. As he walked in, Chen Shaojun saw numerous formations, large and small, and densely packed. At the core of the formation, there were blood-red crystals fixed on the ground, with strong waves of
Blood energy emanates from it.
"These are all serial formations, part of a complete and huge formation. In other words, the entire Martial Palace is actually a large, complex formation!"
"To be able to set up such a large formation and to forcibly draw blood from the distant world of blood, this person's strength is probably extremely terrifying. He is at least at the level of an immortal, or even higher."
Chen Shaojun observed it for a moment and soon saw some tricks.
A layman can watch the excitement, but a master like Chen Shaojun, who is respected by all the worlds, immediately saw some clues. In this martial hall, billowing waves of blood radiated out in waves, but the formations inside looked like
But it's far from as simple as it seems.
Within a moment, Chen Shaojun quickly arrived at the core of the Martial Palace and saw the source of all blood energy.
"boom!"
Right in the center of the Martial Palace, a huge blood waterfall flew down and hit the ground heavily, and where the blood waterfall fell was a huge formation.
The formation was decorated like a flower bed, with gleaming lights on the surface, and a heavy shield covering it.
And after the rolling blood energy arrived here, it was like thousands of streams, and it was input into a large number of small formations in various places in the Martial Palace along the veins.
"This is indeed a treasure land for training. You can come here to practice in the future to speed up the condensation of blood energy."
Chen Shaojun felt it for a while, only to feel a stream of blood flowing into his body. He simply sat cross-legged and practiced in the martial arts hall, concentrating on absorbing the blood.
About half an hour later, Chen Shaojun felt that his blood energy had increased again, and the speed of absorption gradually slowed down, and then he stopped.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go and have a look now."
Chen Shaojun walked around the Martial Palace again, and finally found the place he was interested in, which was also the most important purpose of his trip.
arena!
Chen Shaojun saw a stone tablet standing there. In the square was a pair of young warriors competing against each other.
Chen Shaojun just watched for a while and found that these people were extremely agile in boxing and martial arts, as well as in moving around. Especially the young military commanders, they struck quickly and accurately, with the aura of fighting on the battlefield, which was not like Sixteen at all.
A seven-year-old boy.
The martial arts competition is prevalent in the martial arts palace, and as long as no one is killed, there are no taboos during the competition, so that these sons of military commanders and children of aristocratic families do not stick to moves at all when they attack. They have extremely rich fighting experience, and several of them have shown their skills.
Even Chen Shaojun admired him.
"Brother, what are the rules of the arena? How can I participate in a martial arts competition?"
Just at the edge of the arena, Chen Shaojun suddenly stepped forward and bowed to one of the young warriors.
"Battle competition? Do you want to find someone to compete with?"
After hearing Chen Shaojun's words, the man's eyes lit up.
"good."
Chen Shaojun did not deny it.
He observed around here. The overall strength level of the warriors in the Martial Palace is very high. This is the best place to hone martial arts and increase practical experience. Apply what you have learned. Maybe he can improve the Beidou Gangbu to a higher level.
a realm of.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting."
The man looked at Chen Shaojun carefully, with sharp eyes, as if he was sizing up a prey. The next moment, before Chen Shaojun could speak, the man raised a palm and shouted:
"Brothers, come and look! There is a layman from the local state capital here. Come and see the big fat sheep that comes to your door!"
Before the sound fell, a large group of people gathered around. Everyone was laughing and laughing, staring at Chen Shaojun with interest, and surrounded him in the center of the crowd.
"Boy, do you have the blood jade?"
Soon, a tall young man from the crowd came out and said jokingly.
"Blood jade?"
Chen Shaojun frowned.
"I don't even know about blood jade, but this is it!"
The young man flicked his wrist, and a square jade stone the size of a walnut appeared in the palm of his hand. However, the jade stone was not as white as jade, but blood red all over, with a strong smell of blood:
"I can tell by the look on your face that I don't have any. You always have the Blood Qi Pill, right? There are plenty of them in the lower ruins. If you don't have them, just go buy a few."
"Why, does this competition also require a prize?"
Chen Shaojun said a little surprised.
He originally thought that competition between warriors was normal, but now it seems that he thought it was too simple.
"Hey, who will do anything with you if there is no lottery? Don't you waste your blood and energy when competing? And if there is no lottery, who will go all out? You don't know anything, otherwise what can you say about these local states?
Are all the people in the house raw eggs?"
The young man sneered.
The surrounding warriors burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Chen Shaojun stood in the crowd with a normal look on his face. If he needed blood-energy pills, he had bought six blood-energy pills in Xixu before. After consuming two of them, he still had four pills left. He should still be able to afford them.
"How many lottery tickets are needed?"
Chen Shaojun asked.
The young man held out three fingers and smiled:
"Seeing as you are new here, just three. How about it, kid? Do you dare to come?"
"Three?"
Chen Shaojun frowned slightly, this number surprised him greatly.
"Is it so expensive?"
Chen Shaojun was silent in his heart. Each of these blood pills was worth a lot of money. He originally thought that the blood pills on his body should be enough for him to challenge several games, but now it seems that it is only one round at most.
"good!"
Chen Shaojun weighed it for a moment and nodded quickly.
Although the Blood Qi Pill is precious, he can still find ways to obtain it in the future. The most important thing is that the purpose of his coming to the Martial Palace is not to learn from each other in actual combat and improve his experience?
For a moment, after hearing Chen Shaojun's readily agreed, everything was quiet, but soon, the young man showed a smile.
"It's easy enough. Since you are so sincere, I will agree to it."
As if he was afraid that Chen Shaojun would regret it, the man took off his coat and immediately strode towards the arena.
Chen Shaojun just glanced at it and quickly followed.
"Before the competition, I told you the rules. Did you see the ring around it? That is the arena for martial arts competitions. All martial arts competitions can only be conducted within this range."
"The rules of the game, whoever can knock the opponent out of the circle, or until the opponent begs for mercy, wins, do you understand?"
The young man said.
"Um."
Chen Shaojun just glanced at it and nodded. The rules were very simple and not very complicated.
