Chapter 21 Breakthrough
Chapter 21 Breakthrough
Qin Jiu's eyes flashed with a strange light.
At this moment, a ferocious beast shadow slowly emerged on the crimson seal.
This confirmed what he had in mind.
"Young Master, we should go."
At this time.
Wang Yue spoke, pulling him back to reality.
Qin Jiu nodded slightly.
Holding a gleaming longsword, he stirred his internal energy, causing the bluestone ground beneath his feet to suddenly shatter.
His figure shot off like an arrow.
They disappeared from the spot.
Dark as ink.
The sounds of collapsing houses, screams, and inexplicable roars echoed through the night sky.
Wang Yue, with a grim expression, stayed close to Qin Jiu.
Along the way, they encountered repeated attacks from demons.
He preemptively resolved all of them.
Until they entered the inner city.
The chaos gradually subsided.
"Tonight, countless people will die in the outer city."
Qin Jiu returned to the Qin residence unharmed, but the solemn expression on his face did not disappear. His keen senses had allowed him to know, even without stopping, that the area of the southern town outside the city had probably become a living hell.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue sighed, "Demons are besieging the city."
"Tragedies like tonight's will inevitably happen again in the future, and the situation is not optimistic even in the inner city."
"This was to be expected."
Qin Jiu nodded silently, then said, "How are you feeling now? I'd like to practice a little longer..."
"I'm afraid this will disappoint the young master."
Wang Yue gave a wry smile and said, "This old servant's body has already exhausted its energy and spirit during the day, and coupled with being on full alert just now, I am now physically and mentally exhausted."
Upon hearing this...
Qin Jiu was speechless.
He was young and strong and had not considered this point at all. If he continued to let Wang Yue urge on the sword, it would be like exhausting an old man. If something happened, the problem would be huge.
"Then you should go back and rest first."
"This old servant takes his leave."
......
After Wang Yue left.
Qin Jiu returned to the courtyard alone and slowly began practicing the stance exercise.
Without the support of the sword stance, his progress in stance training was slow, but his main purpose tonight was not to practice, but to try to guide his qi and blood to form a circulation, so as to step into the second refinement realm.
This will not only allow one's own strength to be greatly improved in a short period of time.
It can also accommodate more talent imprints.
"According to the secret manual of swordsmanship..."
"The circulation of Qi and blood is further divided into the large and small circulations."
"The inferior martial arts are all small circulation methods, which can only circulate qi and blood to the limbs with the dantian as the center; while the Overlord Blade's guiding method is a large circulation, which can allow qi and blood to form a perfect circulation from the body, limbs and head."
Qin Jiu's eyes flickered.
The secret manual records that this cyclical guidance method is comparable to superior martial arts.
The only drawback is that the swordsmanship is too brutal.
Those who practice cultivation and whose internal organs are damaged often meet a bad end.
"But that's someone else..."
Qin Jiu took a deep breath.
The dead tree was instantly revived.
As his breathing changed, wisps of mist immediately rose from his mouth and nose, and at the same time, the sound of his blood and qi flowing clearly echoed throughout the east wing courtyard.
......
Day and night alternate.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At dawn on this day, Qin Jiu's bare upper body, shoulders, neck, and even head were covered with bulging veins like dragons. White arrows of energy shot out from his mouth and nose, and the sound of his blood churning inside his body was like waves crashing against the shore, which did not subside for a long time.
There were no servants in the courtyard at that moment.
Only Wang Yue, hunched over, stroked his goatee while nervously watching Qin Jiu's figure.
a moment.
'bo'
A sound like a bubble bursting rang out.
Wang Yue grabbed the hand holding the beard and involuntarily ripped off some of the gray and white hairs. However, he seemed to feel no pain at all, and his turbid eyes almost instantly flashed with a terrifying light.
"In just a few days, the circulation of Qi and blood has improved dramatically..."
His voice trembled slightly.
His hand, gripping his beard, trembled involuntarily.
At this moment, Wang Yue even doubted whether he was nearing his end and was hallucinating because such a speed of blood circulation could not possibly exist in the world.
Ordinary martial artists, regardless of what martial arts they practice.
Build blood and qi circulation.
They all treated it with utmost care and solemnity, fearing that they might accidentally disrupt their meridians or other parts of their bodies, leading to qi deviation or even sudden death.
Not to mention the Cyclic Method of the Overlord Blade.
We should be extremely cautious.
Qin Jiu, however, used an almost brutal method of transporting qi and blood to form it.
Wang Yue only learned of this today.
He will definitely try his best to stop it.
However, right now...
"Finally done."
Qin Jiu opened his mouth and spat out a jet of air, which slowly dissipated after traveling nearly three feet from his body.
"Now that my Qi and blood are circulating smoothly, I only need to forge my bones to generate internal strength, and then I will be a true second-level martial artist."
"Strengthening bones to generate strength is far less difficult than improving blood circulation."
Feeling the surge of power again.
Qin Jiu nodded in satisfaction.
Over the past three days, with the help of the withered tree blossoming again, he used an almost self-destructive method to transport his qi and blood, and finally managed to build a large circulation of qi and blood in a short period of time. The subsequent bone-strengthening and strength-building process was actually the easiest part.
Because ultimately it's just about forging bones.
With the ability to revive a withered tree, the speed of this process will only be faster than building a healthy blood circulation system.
"Young Master..."
Wang Yue walked over.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu interrupted him, saying, "Uncle Wang, do not ask any more questions about today's events, and do not spread them around."
"This old servant knows."
"This old servant came this morning because I have something to report."
Wang Yue's thoughts had calmed down by this time.
As the old steward of the Qin family, he was shocked, but happy for Qin Guihong.
There was no intention to ask further questions.
"A notification?"
Qin Jiu asked in surprise, "What is the matter?"
"Three days ago, demons attacked the outer city. The Demon Suppression Division swiftly suppressed them, but many warriors who had just been transferred to the Demon Suppression Division died that night. Rumors have spread in the city that the Demon Suppression Division will continue to transfer manpower from various departments to fill the gaps."
Wang Yue paused slightly as he spoke.
"Even last night, two guest retainers who were temporarily assigned to the Qin family left the Qin family overnight, and this old servant went to check on the small courtyard where they were staying. Everything inside had been cleaned up very well."
Hearing this, he realized...
Qin Jiu's expression gradually turned ugly.
Wang Yue continued to speak at this moment.
"There's one more thing."
"Qin Jingzheng, Jingxin, and Jingming just wanted to come to the east wing to see you, but this old servant called them to wait in the reception hall. You see..."
"them?"
I'm requesting a meeting at this crucial juncture...
Qin Jiu frowned deeply.
He immediately led Wang Yue into the reception room.
"What do you need me for, uncles?"
Qin Jiu sat in the main seat of the living room, his gaze sweeping over the three figures without any ripples.
These three men exuded an extraordinary aura.
They were all martial artists in their prime, at the third level of cultivation.
They met Qin Jiu's gaze, their eyes filled with a variety of complex emotions.
One of them stood up, bowed, and said, "Jingxin wishes to take his wife, children, and elderly parents away from the Qin residence. He hopes the head of the family will grant him permission."
He made this move.
The other two also spoke up.
"Jingming is getting old and wishes to leave the Qin residence to enjoy his retirement..."
"Jingzheng..."
