Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 36 Entering the Third Refinement!

I heard the last sentence.

Qin Jiu's pupils contracted slightly.

How did he know?

"How did I know?"

Li Yuan seemed to know what he was thinking, and then smiled and said, "Although your surging internal energy is profound, it has not been integrated with your blood and qi. I am so close to you, if I couldn't sense it, wouldn't I be a complete idiot?"

"The level of internal strength and the five senses is beyond your imagination."

"Of course, Li wasn't entirely sure beforehand, which is why he made those probing remarks later."

"Judging from your reaction right now..."

"Could you elaborate on the great sect members that Hall Master Li mentioned?"

Qin Jiu didn't dwell on the previous question with him.

Instead, he asked about the doubts that had been lingering in his mind.

Aside from the fact that members of major sects had come, what he wanted to know even more was the so-called calamity they spoke of.

"With Ning'an withdrawing its troops into the pass, the two most powerful sects in this prefecture will naturally not remain outside the pass alone. However, the area inside the pass is not a safe place for sects either. If they want to establish themselves, they will inevitably clash with the sects and families inside the pass. If they rely solely on their sect disciples, they might suffer a depletion of talent after just one battle."

"Therefore, you have a place to use your skills."

Qin Jiu remained silent upon hearing this.

Li Yuan didn't stop talking. He only glanced at him before continuing, "Although it sounds cruel, if we stay in the county town, no, or even Ning'an Prefecture, we will only die."

"Under such circumstances."

"Even if you want to become a pawn in one of the major factions, not everyone is qualified."

"As for the calamity you asked about..."

As Li Yuan spoke, he shook his head and said, "I can only say that demons and monsters are not calamities."

"Are demons or monsters the cause of this calamity?"

Qin Jiu frowned, wanting to ask for clarification.

But the other party was unwilling to say more.

Only a moment later.

Then he took his leave.

"Wang Yue's internal energy and true qi have been completely dissipated. He will wake up after a few days of rest. You only need to feed him one pill every other day. In addition, Wang Yue has overexerted his vital essence in battle, and I'm afraid his lifespan is less than five years."

"If he were to engage in another fierce battle, he would most likely die of old age on the spot."

"You need to make this clear to him."

"Thank you very much, Master Li."

Qin Jiu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Once Elder Wang wakes up, I will send someone to deliver the secret recipe to the Four Seasons Pharmacy."

After seeing Li Yuan off.

He then summoned Qin Xuanzhou.

"Uncle Wang has now survived a near-death experience. Find some people to take care of him, and let me know when he wakes up. Also, there may be some unfamiliar faces in the city in the next few days, so keep an eye out and let me know as soon as you spot them."

"An unfamiliar face?"

Qin Xuanzhou was taken aback.

But he quickly nodded.

......

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

The sky was covered by a thick layer of clouds.

Qin Jiu stood motionless in the east wing courtyard, holding a long sword, letting the snowflakes fall on his shoulders.

Fine snowflakes were falling.

As time went by, his hair and eyebrows gradually became covered with frost and snow.

a moment.

"boom"

A powerful gust of wind howled.

The snowflakes on the ground were instantly swirled up.

"The Qi surges to the Lesser Yang, the third refinement is complete!"

Qin Jiu opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, which shot out like an arrow, nearly ten feet away from his body before slowly dissipating.

His expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful.

I wasn't particularly moved by the idea of ​​internal energy flowing through the meridians.

Because after internal energy merges and circulates with blood and qi, unlike ordinary people who need to carefully control their internal energy to open up all the meridians, he has the ability to revive withered trees. Even if his meridians are broken, he can still repair them immediately.

Three Refinements to Open the Meridians.

Qin Jiu was confident that he could achieve this in the shortest possible time.

Use internal strength to connect all the meridians.

"After the three refinements, one needs to use internal energy to nourish the internal organs. This process cannot be aided by the 'withered tree reborn in spring' method. I need to find a talent related to nourishing the internal organs. Otherwise, it will take a long time to complete the internal strengthening."

Qin Jiu shook his head secretly.

He immediately shook off the snowflakes from his eyebrows.

He strode out of the east wing.

"How is Old Wang?"

He went to a side room in the inner palace and asked a servant at the door.

The latter was shivering, his head bowed and his hands constantly breathing on them. Upon hearing this, he looked up and immediately stood up straight, saying, "Master, Steward Wang still shows no signs of waking up."

"yes."

Qin Jiu nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a cough coming from inside the house.

He was taken aback for a moment, then walked straight into the room.

"Young Master..."

inside the room.

When Wang Yue saw him come in, he struggled to get up.

Qin Jiu quickly went over and pressed him down, saying, "Your injuries are serious, so please don't move around."

"Thank you, young master."

"If it weren't for the young master's reminder that day, this old servant would probably have died out there long ago."

Wang Yue's voice was weak.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu nodded and asked, "What happened?"

"We followed the county magistrate to search for the great demon, and after several days we finally found some clues. However, several strong people above the Inner Strength level suddenly appeared and fought with the county magistrate. The experts from the prefecture and county were originally fighting against the enemy with the county magistrate, but for some reason, one of them suddenly turned against him and attacked the county magistrate."

"At the same time, the master of Canghai Martial Arts School suddenly attacked me."

Even though I had taken precautions beforehand.

"He was also caught in the aftermath of the battle between the county magistrate and the others, and had no choice but to take a blow from them before fleeing. He held on to his last breath, trying to return and report the news, but... as for the county magistrate and the others, their fate is currently unknown. Only Han Zheng, the head of the Han family, was unlucky enough to be beheaded by a powerful expert who was chasing the county magistrate."

After Wang Yue finished speaking,

My breathing became a little rapid.

I don't know if it was mostly from lingering fear or from the injuries inside my body.

"Dead?"

Qin Jiu was stunned.

I never expected to hear the first news of someone's death.

It turned out to be Han Zheng from the Han family.

He had previously considered a marriage alliance with the other party to form a mutual alliance. Although it ended unpleasantly, the latter was very bold and even sent a third-tier spirit beast that was about to break through to apologize.

Now I hear this news.

He felt a complex and inexplicable mix of emotions.

"How long has this old servant been unconscious?"

At this time.

Wang Yue asked the question.

Qin Jiu came to his senses and said, "From the time you returned to the Qin family, you were only unconscious for three days, right?"

"Oh, right."

"Could these strange celestial phenomena outside be related to the county magistrate and his men?"

"Celestial phenomena? What celestial phenomena?"

Wang Yue was taken aback.

Only then did I realize what was inside the room.

There were also some burning charcoal pieces on the table.

Seeing this, Qin Jiu pondered and said, "Don't worry about this for now. Rest quietly for a few days. If anything happens, just call the servants outside the door."

He gave a few words of advice.

After leaving the side room, we headed to the Animal Garden.

But at this time...

Qin Xuanzhou caught up with them.

"Reporting to the patriarch, the matter you asked me to keep an eye on is now showing promise. This morning, some unfamiliar faces entered the city, one of whom was an inner strongman, and the others were third-level cultivators. They have all entered the Han family's inner city."

"Also, it seems Han Zheng is dead."

"It is said that the body was just brought back by people from the county government."

"Oh?"

Qin Jiu's eyes flashed.

"Our Qin family has always been on good terms with the Han family. Go and arrange a carriage immediately. I need to go to the Han family to offer my condolences."
