Gong Chen's stick chopped down, already covering Su Dao Xing's three major fatal spots.

  Gong Chen's first move revealed the power of an Eleventh Zong Wu Wang. Having just advanced to this rank, he already had some understanding of meridians and acupoints; otherwise, his initial attack wouldn't have directly targeted Su Dao Xing's fatal weakness.

  Splash!

  Bow Chen hit without touching his opponent, stick continuous attack.

  Hmph!

  Su Dao Xing was stabbed in the shoulder by a stick, hitting his death point. He only felt a numbness at the death point and instantly lost his strength. He secretly thanked himself for having been nursing his death point for the past few days, otherwise, his opponent's previous move would have already made him lose his combat effectiveness.

  Bang!

  Su Dao Xing, at the moment of receiving a blow, unfolded his crane shape and struck a fatal point on Gong Chen's shoulder, rendering one of Gong Chen's shoulders useless in battle.

  "You are also a master of the Eleven Styles of Wu Wang." Bowen's face changed greatly, he saw Su Dao Xing's true strength, and retreated with a stick.

  "Where to go, Eleven Evil Kings Bow Morning." Su Dao Xing cheated and got up, one punch was like another punch, with a huge fist intent that made Bow Morning only swing his staff to defend.

  Hehe!

  Gong Chen swung his staff at Su Dao Xing, and from a small hole on the staff head flew out numerous black needles that resembled cow hair.

  Those black needles were covered with reverse thorns and coated with a deadly poison that could kill on contact.

  Su Dao Xing's hands were filled with spiritual energy as he reached out and grabbed the eighteen needles shot by Gong Chen, clenching them in his fist.

  Gong Chen was a wicked king, he was good at assassination, seeing that he couldn't defeat Su Dao Xing, he immediately retreated.

  He fended off Su Dao's continued attacks with his long pole while retreating towards the wall of the courtyard.

  Whoosh!

  Gong Chen found an opportunity and climbed over the courtyard wall.

  "Want to leave? I'll give you a gift." Su Dao Xing suddenly shot the eighteen needles in his hand towards Ao Chen's back.

  "Thanks!" Gong Chen's sleeve rolled up and surprisingly wrapped around the eighteen needles with ease, apparently he had a special technique to collect his own needles.

  Wow!

  A curved knife shot out from a dark place and pierced into Bao Chen's back.

  Gong Chen let out a miserable cry and his figure disappeared outside the courtyard wall.

  The curved knife just now was what Su Dao Xing used to attract Gong Chen's attention when he shot out the flying needle, and then shot out the curved knife, preparing two methods. Sure enough, one method failed, and one method succeeded.

  Gong Chen's life or death is unknown, even if he doesn't die, without several months of recuperation, it's impossible for him to recover his former strength.

  Su Dao Xing let out a long breath, lost interest in cultivating in the other courtyard, and directly returned to his living quarters. He sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating and nourishing his veins and acupoints.

  From Gong Chen's flying needle ultimate skill, Su Dao Xing had an idea, that is to find a weapon that can rival the flying needle and hidden weapons.

  Yunshu Zhai Yunmeng Zhai's master will hold a cloud gathering in Luoshui City, spreading far and wide across the four directions.

  Su Dao Xing heard the news of Yun Hui and immediately had an idea.

  The Cloud Gathering is actually an auction, and the auctions hosted by Yun Mengzhai are all high-quality auctions with a very good reputation. Every time the Cloud Gathering takes place, it attracts big shots from the imperial court.

  Su Dao woke up and arrived at Yun Shu Zhai, stating that he wanted to attend the Cloud Gathering, then was led by someone to a small room.

  In a small room, an old man inquired about some personal information of Su Dao Xing and then branded a mark on a wooden board.

  "Su Gongzi, you come from the Su family and have a good reputation in Yun Shu Xuan. You can participate in the Cloud Gathering with this wooden token." The old man handed the wooden token to Su Daoxian.

  Su Dao Xing took over the wooden sign, bowed his head and was about to walk out of Yun Shu Zhai.

  "Mr. Su, this is the introduction booklet for the auction items of Yunhui, of course, the auction items in the booklet are only a part of Yunhui's collection, some mysterious items will be revealed on site." The old man took out a small booklet from the table beside him.

  "Cloud Book, just what I need." Su Dao Xing paid ten taels of silver and bought the Cloud Book. He walked out of the Yun Shu Zhai and began to flip through the book.

  The auction items in the cloud catalog have detailed introductions and simple patterns, making them very eye-catching. "Qingfeng Sting!" Su Daoming saw a needle-shaped hidden weapon Qingfeng Sting on the cloud catalog and was deeply moved.

  The Cloud Catalog records: The Qingfeng Sting, a type of wasp sting from the extremely cold regions of the mainland, is refined and can withstand violent true energy like Dou Qi. Martial Kings above the 11th rank can infuse their true energy into the sting and control it to fly and shoot hundreds of meters. The most special feature of this sting is that it can rotate; as long as one masters a rotation technique, they can make the Qingfeng Sting rotate. In the Eastern Dynasty, only twelve Qingfeng Stings exist, rumored to be crafted by a powerful cultivator as a dark artifact. Other functions are unknown and require exploration by the buyer.

  It can be seen from the pictures on Yun Ce's album that Qingfeng Ci is extraordinary. Su Dao Xing took a glance at Qingfeng Ci and decided to go to Yun Hui to participate in the auction of Qingfeng Ci.

  The day of Yun's ascension was still a few days away, and Su Dao Xing was in Shen Yue She, warming up his acupuncture points, especially focusing on the nourishment of his death points.

  In his spare time, Su Dao Xing would hide spiritual energy in the acupoints to prepare for unexpected situations. He had already hidden spiritual energy in five fatal acupoints, which were the most important acupoints on the human body. If these acupoints were subjected to external forceful impact, they could cause great harm to the body. He hid his spiritual energy in the fatal acupoints, and if the fatal acupoints were impacted by an external force, the spiritual energy would act as a shield to protect them.

  "When I've filled all the fatal spots on my body with spiritual energy, even a minor Sect Master-level Martial King won't be able to harm me in the slightest." Su Dao said with unbridled enthusiasm.

  The 12th generation Wu Wang was known as a minor master, and the 18th generation Wu Wang was known as a master.

  Once the Martial King reaches the 12th rank, he can open his own dojo and recruit disciples widely, for he has become a minor sect master-level figure, and such figures already belong to the strong.

  King Wu's promotion to the Eighteenth Martial King is a generation of masters, and his words and deeds have a huge impact.

  Su Dao woke up to realize that once he became the Twelfth Rank Wu Wang, he would become a figure at the level of a small sect master. He could obtain more resources in the Su family, but he had a plan to fill all his dead spots with spiritual energy and was not in a hurry to advance from the Eleventh Rank Wu Wang realm to the Twelfth Rank Wu Wang realm, cultivating step by step.

  On this day, the Cloud Gathering will be held soon, and the students who participated in the Cloud Gathering are rushing to Luoshui City with their guardians.

  Su Dao Xing informed the four guardians, preparing to set out today. He took out two curved knives from Shen Yue Society and tied them at his waist, wearing his fist guards as he walked out of Hua Qing Fu.

  "Your Highness!"

  Su Hongzhuang, Su Duan, Su Liuzhi, and Su Heng had already been waiting at the gate of Huaying Fu.

  Five thousand-mile horses stood beside the four guardians.

  Four escorts in the gambling house used their own homes as collateral for 5,000 taels of silver to bet on Su Dao Xing winning the last two matches at Bai She, and won 20,000 taels of silver, finally having some savings. Everyone went to Luo Shui, where they could ride a Wanli horse, no longer needing to ride inferior Qianli horses.

  Just thinking about going to Yunhui to buy Qingfengci might use up all his savings, Su Daowei felt guilty in his heart and truly had no face to meet the guardian who had always protected him.

  "Master, mount your horse!" Su Hongzhuo's thoughts were the most delicate, she guessed what Su Daowei was thinking from his red eyes and immediately urged him to get on the horse.

  "Alright, thank you for your hard work, four masters." Su Dao Xing bowed to the four guardians and suppressed the guilt in his heart. He mounted his horse, Wanli, and galloped towards Luoshui City.

  Luoshui City is located in the southeast of Huqing Prefecture, and the two places are separated by a Xuanwei City.

  Xuanwei City is also a prosperous commercial city of the Dongtu Empire, famous for its ceramics production and one of the most renowned antique cities in the East.

  Luoshui City is one of the hundred cities of the Eastern Imperial Dynasty, with a scale more than ten times that of Xuanwei City. It is also the intersection of the two major official roads in the East, with convenient transportation and extremely prosperous commerce.

  Su Dao Xing and his party rode their horses to Xuanwei City first, where they bought some antiques, then headed towards Luoshui City.

  Luoshui City is nestled between mountains and water, with a major thoroughfare in front of the city that serves as the intersection of two major official roads, bustling with people coming and going.

  "Dismount!"

  Three miles outside the city of Luoshui, a checkpoint was set up where only those with the rank of Little Master or above and high-ranking officials could ride horses into the city. Others were only allowed to enter on foot and had to leave their horses in stables outside the city.

  Su Dao Xing and the four guardians dismounted, led Wanli Horse into a nearby tavern's stable, paid some silver coins, had a meal before heading towards Luoshui City.

  Whoosh!

  Dust flew everywhere, five colorful unicorns carrying five young men in brocade clothes galloped towards the city.

  "It's actually five young masters, who at such a young age can reach such a state, they must come from an ancient noble family." The pedestrians on the road pointed and discussed the youth riding the unicorn as he galloped by.

  A phoenix cries out!

  A rainbow-colored phoenix carried a young boy and girl flying towards the city.

  A martial king suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the colorful phoenix's path, and said: "Show your identity jade card."

  The young man on Cai Feng's back took out a jade token and showed it to Wu Wang.

  "It turned out to be Young Master Wang, let him go!" Wu Wang immediately released him.

  Su Dao Xing gazed at the identity jade card, envying it immensely. Once he returned to the Su Family and participated in the family's grand competition, as long as his results weren't too poor, he would receive an identity jade card from the Su Family. At that time, when he entered Luo Shui City again, as long as he showed his identity jade card, he could ride a horse into the city. Of course, if he advanced to the Small Sect Master realm, he could also ride a horse into the city.

  Su Daochang and the four guardians walked into the city on foot.

  The streets of Luoshui City are very spacious and can accommodate sixteen horses galloping side by side. On both sides, there are stalls selling all kinds of goods that dazzle the eyes.

  The Cloud Gathering will be held at the Luo Shen Auction House in the center of Luoshui City.

  Su Dao Xing and his group headed straight for the Luo Shen Auction House.

  Outside the Luo Shen auction house, Yue Feng Chen was accompanying a man and a woman towards the auction house.

  "Brother Yue Fengchen!" Su Dao Xing shouted as he saw Yue Fengchen accompanying a man and woman into the auction house.

  Yu Fengchen turned around and saw Su Daoxue awake. He smiled and said: "Daoxue, you've also come to attend the Cloud Gathering."

  "Yes." Su Dao Xing replied.

  The man standing next to Yu Fengchen, wearing imperial attire and exuding an air of royalty, glanced at Su Daowei.

  The woman beside Yue Feng looked stunning from behind, with a slender figure that was undoubtedly that of a breathtaking beauty.

  The imperial attire man and the city-toppling woman walked into the auction house, and Yue Fengchen nodded to Su Dao Xing as they entered.
