The most intelligent general in the world

Both of them were very satisfied with Zhang Liang's joining Tianzong with a bit of transactional color. Bei Mingzi saw the prospect of Tianzong's prosperity, while Zhang Liang valued Tianzong's rich resources and secrets from ancient times.

This world hides countless secrets. Zhang Liang can infer from the fragmentary records in the Zhang family's ancient books that there were many powerful beings in ancient times, especially in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, where the strong could even live for thousands of years.

However, now, those strong men no longer exist, immortality has become a thing of the past, and the ancient heritage seems to have been deliberately erased. As Zhang Liang's cultivation level improves, he feels more and more that this world is full of unknown secrets.

Among the various schools of thought, Taoism, due to its long historical heritage, may be the one that knows these ancient secrets best.

"Junior brother, when will you come back to Tianzong with me?" Bei Mingzi asked with a smile on his face.

"Wait a few days. After I finish dealing with some trivial matters here, I can go to Tianzong with my senior brother. I am also very curious about the sects in the Taoist ancestral land!" Zhang Liang replied with a smile.

Bei Mingzi took Xiao Meng to live in the mountains, but Zhang Liang was not idle.

After seven days of retreat, the scene on the mountain became increasingly prosperous. Not only did its popularity increase, but all kinds of flowers, plants and trees also began to grow luxuriantly.

Zhang Liang arrived at the medicine garden, where many seeds had already broken through the soil, showing a little green and full of vitality. Zhang Liang immediately sowed the seeds of the Juling Grass one by one.

After planting the seeds of the spirit gathering grass, Zhang Liang went straight to the council hall. Hearing that he had ended his retreat, some important members had gathered here waiting. Zhang Liang instructed them one by one and arranged for them to act according to the original plan without spending too much effort.

After everyone left, Zhang Liang left behind the black jade Qilin that had always been with him.

"Lin'er, I need you to help me get rid of someone." Zhang Liang said straight to the point.

"Are you going to deal with the Shikigome demon lady, Madam Mingzhu?" replied the Moyu Qilin.

"You guessed it right. Do you feel sure?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh.

"No problem. I have sneaked into the palace many times recently and can take action at any time!" Mo Yu Qilin answered confidently.

"We can't be careless. That female demon must be very skilled in martial arts. I will go with you this time. If the operation fails, I can help you evacuate safely." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

The palace was heavily guarded, especially the tide demon girl who lived in the deepest part of the palace, and the guards were extremely strict. Although Zhang Liang was confident that he could sneak into the palace and kill people, his martial arts level was probably only enough to force his way in, which would make a lot of noise. In comparison, it would be easier to let the black jade unicorn take action.

"Don't worry, I can handle it myself, you don't need to come for help!" The black jade Qilin seemed a little dissatisfied.

"I feel more at ease if I follow you!" Zhang Liang responded with a smile.

"Okay!" This time, Mo Yu Qilin did not object. She lowered her head. She felt that Zhang Liang did not look down on her. Instead, he cared about her sincerely. She was moved but also a little shy.

However, the two did not take action immediately. Zhang Liang went straight into the secret room where the elixirs were stored and selected some herbs suitable for making poison.

In less than an hour and a half, Zhang Liang successfully refined a highly toxic substance - Linglong Blood-Slaying Ointment.

"Lin'er, this is Linglong Blood-Break Ointment, an extremely poisonous substance. Anyone below the master-level warrior will die if their blood comes into contact with it. Even a master-level expert will lose all his martial arts at best, and may even die at worst. When using it, just apply it on the weapon. Remember not to touch it with your hands, and don't let it stick to the wound!" Zhang Liang smiled and handed the newly refined poison to Mo Yu Qilin.

Mo Yu Qilin took the poison with great joy, as if this was the best gift she had ever received. Even the Qingyu Fruit she got last time didn't make her so happy.

"Thank you!" Mo Yu Qilin smiled, and in front of Zhang Liang's surprised eyes, she took off her veil, revealing her stunning appearance. She stood on tiptoes and gently kissed the corner of his mouth, then quickly left.

"This girl seems to be only fourteen years old, but in our world, she is almost old enough to get married..." Zhang Liang sighed with a smile.

At this moment, Yan Lingji came over from a distance, glanced at Zhang Liang with a half-smile, and then chased straight towards the black jade Qilin.

"Well, it's not that I'm going too far. In this era, marrying three or four wives is not considered too many. Some nobles have dozens or even hundreds of concubines..." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Time flies, and night falls in the blink of an eye.

The petite figure of the black jade Qilin disappeared into the night and quietly wandered outside the palace. Zhang Liang followed far behind. This time, he not only had to protect the black jade Qilin, but also had to test her.

The Black Jade Qilin has outstanding talents. Not only can she be used as a killer, but if used properly, her value will be even greater, enough for her to become an important assistant to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang had already figured out the physique of the Black Jade Qilin. It was a semi-divine physique evolved from a special bloodline, but her bloodline was relatively thin, and it was only by chance that the bloodline of her ancestors was awakened.

At present, the Black Jade Qilin relies entirely on his own talents and is groping forward. He has not really brought into play his own advantages, and he does not know how to condense his ancestral blood and temper his bloodline.

Even so, Moyu Qilin is still a world-class killer. But if she is carefully cultivated by Zhang Liang, she will not only be an excellent killer, but she may also become the world's top strongman. In Zhang Liang's opinion, Moyu Qilin's talent is not inferior to Xiaomeng.
