Chapter 91 Borrowing Money

  "Master said it would be like this, people who are infatuated always end up the same way." Ji Songfeng sighed and said, "Ma Lian'er, your poison has already penetrated deep into your internal organs. Even if I use all my strength to suppress it, I'm afraid it won't last much longer!"

  "How much longer can you hold on? Tell me!" Ma Lian'er said with a smile.

  "Two years at most!" Ji Songfeng said with a wry smile.

  "Is there only two years left?" Ma Lian'er's body trembled slightly.

  "The poison of the icy water and cold smoke is not that easy to cure." Ji Songfeng shook his head, "Fortunately you ran into me, otherwise you would have been dead long ago! This kind of poison can probably only be cured by my master himself!"

  "Who is your master? Where is he now? What conditions are needed for him to take action?" Ma Lian'er's eyes showed a hint of hope.

  "My master is nowhere to be found, I'm not even clear about that. I barely qualify as his nominal disciple." Ji Songfeng sighed and shook his head, "And even if I knew where my master was, it would be useless. He's only good at killing people, he wouldn't lift a finger to save anyone!"

  "Oh! Forget it!" Ma Lian'er's expression turned gloomy.

  "Lao Ji, I'm leaving! Take my money and go to Yilou for a laugh, haha!" Ma Lian'er stood up, restored her rough demeanor, and walked out of Songfeng Xuan with a big smile.

  The boss of the noodle stall saw Ma Lian'er come out and quickly turned his back, afraid of provoking this monster.

  "People who are infatuated always end up the same way, Master's words were indeed correct. Fortunately, I'm clever enough, although I've been lingering in the flower cluster, I've never let myself get trapped." Ji Songfeng gazed at Ma Lian'er's distant back, shaking his head slightly.

  Looking at the gold coin card on the table, Ji Songfeng's face also showed a hint of a smile: "Five thousand gold coins, take it to give to Huan'er, she must be happy, and I can stay for a few more nights, haha!"

  Inside the barracks, on the drill ground.

  Lin Feng was fully armed and rode Chasing Wind, galloping back and forth on the school field.

  The path of chasing the wind is not a straight line, but all kinds of strange small arcs. Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he showed a thoughtful expression from time to time.

  At this time, Lin Feng was deeply immersed in the calculation of Cang Lang San Die.

  "The Canglang Threefold is truly a wonderful use without end." Lin Feng sighed in his heart, "It's like a famous painting that has outlined the general outline, leaving endless room for creation."

  "This is the true way of symbols, transforming complexity into simplicity, and from simplicity to complexity, with infinite variations, without being bound by constraints."

  Lin Fengyue felt that the more he calculated, the more he felt the harmony between Canglang Sanzhang and Fu Dao. The difference was that Fu Dao used brush strokes to make symbols, while Canglang Sanzhang used the pace of a horse's hooves to make symbols.

  In the seemingly simple threefold repetition of Canglang, lies hidden endless wisdom.

  "Those ancient talismans of great power, with a flick of the brush, can move mountains and fill seas. This chaotic triple-layered symbol is quite similar in that regard. Those ethereal symbols drawn from thin air also don't require being engraved on equipment."

  Time and time again, the charge, in his heart constantly unfolding, for the Canglang three stacks of understanding is getting deeper and deeper, while Lin Feng also felt that his spiritual strength was slowly growing.

  The process of practicing Canglang San Die is also a tacit agreement with the Way of Symbols, or it can be seen as part of the practice of the Way of Symbols.

  This exercise, although the growth of spiritual power is naturally inferior to that of true character strokes, does not consume any spiritual power and will not feel tired.

  Lin Feng practiced the Three Stacks of Canglang to enhance his combat skills and increase his spiritual power, which was just an unexpected bonus.

  "Lin Feng, you're practicing horse riding!" Ma Lian'er's voice rang out.

  "Uh-huh!" Lin Feng nodded towards Ma Lian'er, who was walking quickly towards him, "Get familiar with it as soon as possible, and it will be more convenient to use during battle."

  "Hehe, you're really a promising young fellow." Ma Lian'er chuckled and continued, "Lin Feng, this time in battle, the number of military merit points you obtained is quite substantial!"

  "It's all thanks to Elder Sister Lian'er." Lin Feng heard this and also smiled happily.

  Military merit points are extremely important for the heavy cavalry knights of the Xuan Jia. This time, he indeed obtained a lot of military merit points in battle.

  The rules of the heavy cavalry, killing an enemy of the fourth rank of the Tiger Fist can earn a little military merit. Killing an enemy of the fifth rank of the Tiger Fist can earn ten points of military merit. Killing an enemy of the sixth rank of the Tiger Fist can earn one hundred points of military merit...... And so on. While killing ordinary soldiers has no military merit.

  Lin Feng and Ma Li'ang first killed Zhan Xingyun outside Wujiabao, that was a Tiger Form Fist Seventh Layer guy, earning a full 1,000 military merits. After that, Lin Feng shot and stepped on Buzishan, also earning 1,000 military merits.

  In this battle, the two of them also killed four strong men of the sixth rank of Tiger Boxing, five strong men of the fifth rank of Tiger Boxing, and two small knights of the fourth rank of Tiger Boxing. Adding up all their military achievements, they had a total of 2,452 points of military achievement.

  These military merit points are usually divided equally. So Lin Feng also got a full 1,226 military merit points.

  Military merit points are extremely important for Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry. To get promoted, you must have enough military merit points.

  Moreover, these military merit points can also be directly exchanged for gold coins. One point of military merit can be exchanged for 500 gold coins.

  500 gold coins, in exchange for the other party's fourth-tier Tiger Fist strongman. This price is actually very low. Fortunately, when exchanging gold coins, military merit points will not decrease, it's just that they can't be exchanged again later. Such an exchange of gold coins is simply an extra gain.

  In other words, Lin Feng's military exploits this time not only earned him 1,226 merits but also more than 600,000 gold coins at his disposal!

  Of course, all these gold coins are stored in the Luoyun Sect. They can be withdrawn when needed. However, if all the Xuanjia Heavy Riders demand to withdraw their money at once, the Luoyun Sect will not be able to cope.

  "Lin Feng, after you exchange for gold coins, can you lend some to me?" Ma Lian'er asked with a smile.

  "Ah... of course!" Lin Feng hastily replied.

  Ma Lian'er was willing to take risks with Bao Ze, and she didn't want to abandon him. Ma Lian'er wanted to borrow some money, how could Lin Feng bear to refuse her?

  "It's not too much, 100,000 gold coins will be enough." Ma Lian'er smiled.

  "Ah, okay!" Lin Feng replied, "After I go exchange it, I'll give you the gold coins."

  "Thank you, Lin Feng." Ma Lian'er chuckled and quickly walked away.

  "Ma Lian'er herself also earned 600,000 gold coins this time, but she still wants to borrow. What does she want so much money for?"

  Although Lin Feng was puzzled in his heart, who can't have a little secret of their own? Lin Feng naturally wouldn't think much about it.

  "Adding this 100,000 gold coins, I'll have a total of 700,000 now!" thought Ma Lian'er, "That's roughly the cost of two years' worth of medical treatment!"

  "My time is running out, I don't want to work so hard anymore, from now on I'll just accompany Old Cloud honestly!"

  When the heavy cavalry is deployed, it's not necessarily to use a complete formation. For example, Malan previously often participated in some temporary tasks or reinforced other knight squads to earn more military merit points. After all, she needs at least 1,000 gold coins for treatment every day, and the consumption is also extremely large.

  Now there are only two years of life left, and the treatment cost is also more than 700,000 gold coins. Borrowing 100,000 gold coins from Lin Feng, the gap is not too big.

  In the limited time left, she only wanted to quietly accompany the people she liked and wait for her demise in silence.

  "When I'm gone, Old Yun, will you be sad for me? Will you remember the Ma Lian'er of those years?"

  The next day.

  On the school grounds, ten black-armored heavy cavalrymen gathered again, their iron armor fierce, their cloaks fluttering in the wind, a thick and intense killing aura bursting forth into the sky.

  "Xiao Yang Baifu Changling!" Yun Zhiya shouted in a low voice.

  Everyone gripped their rifles tightly and puffed out their chests.

  "This time Kunyu Zong has invaded the border, the sect has decided to launch a cross-border attack and capture Jintai City! The Hawk Squad will be the vanguard, sweeping the perimeter, depart immediately!"

  "Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

  Yun Zhiya paused for a moment, reached into his bosom and took out four tokens, tossing them to Lin Feng and the others.

  "Your military merit badges, which were just made by the sect, I brought them back with me this time. From now on, you can use these badges to check your military merits and exchange them for gold coins. Now, let's acknowledge ownership!"

  This token is also a Xuanwu equipment and comes from the hands of Wen Hou. Each of the mysterious heavy cavalry has one.

  Lin Feng and the other three hastily dripped their blood to acknowledge their master, leaving behind their own Yuan Qi imprint on the token.

  "Just a little military merit..." Su Ying curled her lip.

  This time, they didn't catch up with the battle. The only result was that poor Red Tiger Army knight. A fifth-rank Tiger Fist Red Tiger Army knight brought ten military merits, eight people shared them equally, and each person naturally got one merit point.

  "Heh heh! My military merit badge has gained over a thousand more points!" Ma Lian'er said with a smile.

  "Lin Ge must be the same too! So many military merit points!" Su Ying said with a face full of envy.

  "Merit points are earned with one's life! If you want to get merit points, you must work hard on the battlefield!" Yun Zhiya shouted coldly.

  Su Ying gave Yun Zhiya a cold glance and snorted: "Yun Zhiya, what do you mean? Do you think I'm a coward who fears death?"

  As for Yun Zhiya, Su Ying still hated him extremely. Moreover, with Lin Ge's support, she was not afraid of this despicable guy at all.

  Yun Zhiya heard Su Ying's words, her face slightly trembled, and she thought to herself that what she had said was indeed unreasonable. Yesterday's performance on the battlefield had already proven that this little girl, although a bit arrogant, was not one who feared death or loved life excessively.

  For Su Ying, Yun Zhiya was also a great headache.

  For years, he has been demanding himself according to Lin Heng's requirements, and the Falcon team has always been a piece of iron. Because of teasing Su Ying in the old soldier bar at the beginning, these new soldiers are dissatisfied with themselves one by one.

  "Damn it! Why did I have to tease her that day!" Yun Zhiya thought to herself in regret.

  Su Ying saw Yun Zhiya and stopped talking, humming heavily and pulling down her mask with force.

  Lin Feng looked at the numbers displayed on the military merit badge and was also shocked. On the badge, there were more than 6,000 military merit points!

  "The sect's military merit statistics are really detailed. Even the suppression of mountain bandits in Hengshan on that day was recorded, and I got 10 military merit points!"
