Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 236 - 10 Station

Chapter 236: Chapter 10 Station

The long-browed Taoist sighed gently.

He glanced over the few disciples and finally fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan: "Originally, I arranged for you to do a task in the Alchemy Hall of the martial academy, but your eldest senior brother was suddenly taken in by Master Chi Yan of the Fire Crow Sect. The regions he managed, especially the Black Dragon Pool, are richly productive. As your master, I am taking this opportunity to let you claim this place first."

"I hope you won’t blame your master."

The long-browed Taoist’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

"Disciple is grateful and would not blame Master at all." Lin Yuan chuckled softly.

The long-browed Taoist rubbed his brow and said in a low voice, "Your eldest senior brother’s territory is vast, and when your second senior brother Jiang Kui returns, see if there’s a chance to secure the territory."

After speaking, the long-browed Taoist continued, "Lin Yuan, going to the Black Dragon Pool, your master has no other demands. Just hope you can hold the territory and not lose the Black Dragon Pool. Other matters, endure if you can."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan’s brows furrowed.

Ultimately, he clasped his hands in salute and said no more.

"Alright, go on. If there’s anything you don’t understand, communicate more with your senior brothers; they will answer your questions."

"Yes, disciple bids farewell."

After everyone had left, the long-browed Taoist sat in a circle chair, his brow unconsciously furrowing again.

He was also helpless; the eldest disciple’s sudden departure left him without a clue.

Now in such a large area, without Lu Rong, probably all sorts of tricky characters will emerge.

The second disciple is on an important mission and can’t leave immediately.

But even if the second disciple returns, their Yun Yin faction may not be able to suppress the other two factions.

By then, so many resources will have to be handed over to the other two factions, which is a painful thought.

"If only another disciple like Lu Rong with such talent would appear," the long-browed Taoist lamented inwardly.

Originally, he had pinned his hopes on Lin Yuan. But after testing, he dismissed the thought.

Besides this, there is an even more tricky matter: the formation of Baiyan City’s guard, which might once again break the power dynamics, leaving him uncertain about how it will evolve.

"Forget it, take it one step at a time." The long-browed Taoist shook his head.

*****************

On the road, Lin Yuan kept musing over things in his mind.

"The Black Dragon Pool is one of Lu Rong’s core assets. I fear many are eyeing this fertile land. Master seems to have changed the strategy at today’s ceremony reluctantly."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan grinned to himself: "With the Black Dragon Pool in my hands, I want to see who dares to take it."

Carefully feeling the twelve acupoints quietly lit up inside his body, his spirit swelled.

Without another word along the way, he stepped into a small courtyard and directly found Zhu Lingshan. After all, the Black Dragon Pool is not in Baiyan City; it requires long-term garrisoning, requiring Zhu Lingshan to come with him.

But at this moment, in this unfamiliar place, he needed to learn everything thoroughly before he could let Zhu Lingshan come over with peace of mind.

"Senior Brother, go ahead. I’ll be waiting for your letter here." In the inner hall, Zhu Lingshan nestled in Lin Yuan’s arms, reaching out to touch his cheek, her eyes showing a tinge of reluctance.

But she knew that the place Lin Yuan was heading to might be full of dangers, and she could be a burden.

"Junior Sister, don’t worry. Once I have sorted everything out, I’ll bring you over," Lin Yuan lowered his head and kissed Zhu Lingshan on the forehead.

Just after Lin Yuan returned home.

In the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion, the main hall was in chaos.

"How many does the Xuri Martial Academy Guard want? Fifteen? Impossible!" Yun An slammed the table angrily, "We defend the east and have to guard the west. How is it possible? Let the elders handle which side?"

"Also, fifteen guards, where can we find so many people? Ten guards at most, and resources must be allocated at the acupoint peak, or who would risk their lives?" Yun An said with a look of anger, staring at the City Lord sitting in the middle arguing.

"Heh, Old Ghost Yun, have you practiced your Great Sun Truth to madness? Why so irritable?" An old man beside him sneered.

Yun An swept a cold face over, scolding, "I’m irritated with you all cowering. Trying to let our Xuri Martial Academy block the front while you loaf in the back?"

In the center sat a plump middle-aged man, continuously rubbing his brow, "Old Brother Yun, don’t get angry."

He finally made a decision: "Here’s what we’ll do. Each family will provide ten guards, formed by the disciples, with the top ten disciples as the leaders. Northeast, northwest, my City Lord’s Mansion will guard the north, and you all choose a direction. How about that?"

Several people exchanged glances and finally nodded slightly: "Let it be that way."

*************

The next morning, Lin Yuan got into an ordinary carriage, heading east, toward the Black Dragon Pool.

The Black Dragon Pool is about a three-day carriage ride from Baiyan City. The driver drove the carriage, and Lin Yuan had time to relax. Occasionally getting down to rest and breathe, there weren’t many bumps in the journey.

Three days later.

"Master, we’ve arrived."

Lin Yuan heard and lifted the curtain.

At this moment, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a luxurious mansion.

Undoubtedly, as the core of controlling the Black Dragon Pool area, this location was in the very center of the whole town.

Lin Yuan got off the carriage and gazed at the mansion’s plaque: "Black Dragon Pool Government Office."

The attendant, seeing Lin Yuan’s imposing presence, had long gone inside to report.

Just as Lin Yuan was scrutinizing the plaque, the mansion door swung open, revealing a figure resembling a steward.

"May I ask if you are Lin Yuan, Young Master Lin?" The plump man, with a mustache bouncing up and down as he spoke, looked slightly comical.

Lin Yuan looked him in the eye and nodded slightly.

"Young Master Lin, I am Qiao Yuanjing, the head of Black Dragon Pool, here to welcome your arrival." Qiao Yuanjing cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Lin Yuan: "Please, Young Master Lin, follow me. I will introduce things to you."

"Alright, lead the way." Lin Yuan nodded slightly and stepped over the threshold.

Inside the government office, there were different halls such as the deliberation hall and the reception hall. Its layout was not much different from ancient gardens.

Lin Yuan moved through the winding corridors as Qiao Yuanjing continued to introduce the production of Black Dragon Pool.

Overall, Black Dragon Pool has a rich yield.

There are more than a dozen densely populated towns around, far more than Yanghua.

Especially in Black Dragon Pool, it produces a kind of spiritual fish that enhances human vitality, and consuming it can also benefit the soul.

"How is this spiritual fish being produced?" Lin Yuan asked at the right time.

"The spiritual fish produce about two thousand catties a year. The martial academy takes eighty percent, and the remaining twenty percent is yours." Qiao Yuanjing pondered for a moment and then sneaked a glance at Lin Yuan: "However, the production of spiritual fish is the most crucial aspect of the Black Dragon Pool."

"Currently, there is a key issue that requires your attention."Qiao Yuanjing stopped and reported with cupped hands.

"Feel free to speak." Lin Yuan turned to the side, looking at the distant buildings, with the deliberation hall close at hand.

"It’s about the water creature havoc." Qiao Yuanjing said solemnly: "Every spring, a group of water creatures causes chaos in the Black Dragon Pool. If they are not cleared in time, they will prey on the spiritual fish and come ashore to cause havoc, slaughtering civilians indiscriminately."

"Water creatures?" Lin Yuan’s heart was stirred.

This was the first time he had heard the word ’creature.’

"Mm, I know about this matter and will take time to handle it later," Lin Yuan said calmly, then stepped toward the deliberation hall.

Qiao Yuanjing watched Lin Yuan’s calm face, thinking that the matter of the water creatures didn’t seem to cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

"Does he not know the strength of the water creatures? How can he possibly deal with them with only three acupoints?" Qiao Yuanjing furrowed his brows, watching Lin Yuan’s composed pace, which raised his doubts.

But seeing Lin Yuan heading straight to the deliberation hall, Qiao Yuanjing could only sigh inwardly.

He hurriedly caught up with Lin Yuan’s pace.

Lin Yuan stepped in, finding the deliberation hall empty, with only a few servants around to serve.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "Isn’t anyone here?"

Qiao Yuanjing behind him smiled wryly.

The Black Dragon Pool government office, managing so many people, seemed to have only him show up here.

None of the other wardens or gang leaders seemed to give Lin Yuan any face.

After all, the other party had only condensed three acupoints; it’s normal for wardens to ignore him.

Not everyone is Lu Rong, right?

Mere Lin Yuan, what is worth mentioning?
