Chapter 10: The Wilderness

Along the way, the group was unaware of how many tragic scenes they encountered

Feng Yuan remained unconcerned, a smile on his face, nodding to the crowd.

Feng Yuan did not try to retain them, allowing these few individuals to leave freely

All the people who survived the calamities of war and floods, some became refugees, while others fled into the mountains and forests, where they were incorporated by the bandit strongholds that had established themselves as kings of the hills

The benefits of adventures in this world are rather limited, as Yuan Chengzhi emerged from the mountains as a top master in the martial world, no longer requiring extraordinary encounters to enhance his strength

By the way, there are also the eighty Fu Ling pills in the hands of Governor Ma Shiying of Fengyang. These are excellent medicinal pills for nourishing blood and strengthening the body. If I can obtain the Fu Ling pills, it is possible that I could achieve the first level of profound skills, and there might even be a chance to break through to the second level of realm

In the fifteenth year of the Chongzhen era ... during this period, the protagonist Yuan Chengzhi should still be studying martial arts on Mount Hua. I remember that Yuan Chengzhi officially descended the mountain in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen!

Everything converged, and under the scorching sun, it fermented into a strange and foul odor that left one feeling dizzy upon inhalation

After the great flood, there will surely be a great epidemic! In the future, the land of Henan, https://wwwhetushu.com.com, is likely to take several decades to recover its vitality

The Hunyuan Xuangong emphasizes the importance of a solid foundation. Even during the time of the Fengshen world, despite the availability of various spiritual herbs and fruits to assist in cultivation, Feng Yuan did not dare to advance too quickly in his practice, fearing that it would damage his foundation

While on the journey, Feng Yuan and his companions removed the armor of the official guards and changed into ordinary clothing, avoiding the large bandit strongholds, yet they could not escape encountering some thieves and bandits

Southeast of Qi County is the Guide Prefecture

The thief, bold and ruthless, has breached the Yellow River dike; this villain will surely meet a terrible end in the future

Feng Yuan is relatively familiar with the general situation and plot development of this world. This is also his greatest reliance for becoming stronger in the world of The Sword of Blood and Tears

Little Prince!

Since I have arrived in this world, Feng Yuan will certainly do what is within his power to alleviate the suffering of the common people.

On the second day, as dawn broke, more than a dozen people at the earth temple gradually awakened.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the common people of the world successively faced droughts and military disasters, and in the future, the brutally ruthless Qing soldiers swept through the land once again, resulting in countless massacres, with only one in ten billion lives remaining.

After these individuals awoke, they discovered that Feng Yuan, Jiang Yingjie, and Gu Rujin had already risen. Several guards belonging to the Wang residence stepped forward to pay their respects, while the servants of Chen Yongfu, who had broken out alongside them, were not as respectful.

Feng Yuan and the others instead scavenged a bit of food from these bandits, satisfying the consumption needs of the group on their journey

Initially, there was still anger in the hearts of the people, but as they witnessed more, they gradually became numb. Only when encountering the bandits of the Green Forest did they exhibit a hint of vitality

As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. With sufficient wealth, Feng Yuan can attract various skilled individuals from the martial world, acquire various martial arts manuals from them, and even recruit soldiers and hire mercenaries

Let us also go

Feng Yuan pondered deeply, beginning to contemplate how to rapidly enhance his strength in this realm

Knowing the general plot of this world to come, the best way to enhance oneself is to seize the opportunities that originally belonged to the protagonist

The secret manual of martial arts is temporarily unavailable, but the treasure of Emperor Jianwen, which Yuan Chengzhi later discovered, is indeed a significant gain. I must set out for Jinling in advance to secure this treasure

Even the so-called number one divine sword immortal monkey, Mu Renqing, must fight before knowing who is more powerful

Fortunately, these bandits lack any real strength; the most formidable among them has merely learned a bit of martial arts.

Feng Yuan smiled lightly, saying that they were just a few servants, and if they wanted to leave, then let them go. After they departed, only six people remained in their group, significantly streamlining their team. This, in turn, was beneficial for their journey.

Before the decisive battle between the bandits and the imperial army at Zhuxian Town, Guidafu had already faced continuous attacks from the bandits' troops. For hundreds of miles, the land was strewn with white bones in the wilderness, and human habitation was nearly extinct.

The several guards of the royal residence exchanged glances and responded in unison to the command. Meanwhile, seven of the servants were somewhat taken aback, engaging in discussions among themselves, feeling that the journey ahead was too perilous, and they prepared to part ways with the others to escape.

In this realm, Feng Yuan no longer had so many concerns. As long as he practiced the Hunyuan Profound Skill to the third level and became a peak warrior in the world of Fengshen, he would be able to act freely and without restraint in this world

However, Feng Yuan arrived in this world too late; Yuan Chengzhi had already gone to the Huashan Sect to become a disciple and had found the martial arts manual left by the Golden Snake Young Master, Xia Xueyi. In a short period, it was simply impossible to seize it.

With such a substantial amount of silver as a backing, Feng Yuan can purchase various rare treasures and medicinal herbs, allowing him to cultivate the Hunyuan Xuangong anew in this realm

Gu Rujin and several other guards, along with their families, were all in Kaifeng City. When the city fell, nearly all of them perished, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely grim

However, the bandits now have a formidable reputation that shakes the world, with hundreds of thousands of troops under their command. Those who have merely managed to escape are nothing but stray dogs, and even if they are filled with anger, they cannot inflict any harm on the bandits.

Hmph, they say they are going to find General Chen, but from a petty perspective, they are probably going to join the bandits!" Looking at the departing figures of these few individuals, Gu Rujin let out a cold snort

Feng Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable upon witnessing this scene. Although his purpose for coming to this world was not entirely pure, the people here are also descendants of Yan and Huang, sharing the same roots and origins.

Jiang Yingjie placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his gaze subtly revealing a hint of murderous intent. However, upon seeing that Feng Yuan had not given any orders, he could only suppress his killing intent and watch as these individuals departed

Well, the treasure left behind by the Jianwen Emperor seems to be located in the old residence of the Duke of Wei at the Great Achievement Workshop, containing at least 10 to 20 million taels of silver, equivalent to several years of tax revenue for the Ming Dynasty

In addition to mastering various unique skills of the Huashan Sect, Yuan Chengzhi also acquired the Golden Snake Swordsmanship from the extraordinary hero of the martial world, Jin She Lang Jun, Xia Xueyi, along with a treasure map left behind by Xia Xueyi

Jiang Yingjie is also a native of Kaifeng. This time, when Li Zicheng dug the dike and flooded Kaifeng, countless people from Henan perished, which made him feel deeply affected. Upon seeing the devastation left by the flood, he gritted his teeth in anger

The general plot of the world of "The Sword of the Blood" is remembered by Feng Yuan. The main storyline revolves around the death of the general Yuan Chonghuan, who had once boldly claimed to pacify Liao in five years. After his assassination, his son Yuan Chengzhi, by chance, joins the Huashan Sect and descends the mountain to wander the martial world in order to avenge his father.

After everyone had eaten a bit of dry food, Jiang Yingjie announced to the crowd that they were preparing to head to Jinling

After leaving the land temple, Feng Yuan's mood became somewhat heavy. He saw numerous puddles and mud scattered everywhere, with a large number of tree branches and debris strewn about. There were also quite a few corpses of animals and livestock that had already rotted and begun to smell.

Compared to one's own strength, gold, silver, and wealth are external possessions; however, when gold and treasures reach a certain level, they can exert unimaginable effects
