Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 38 Decision

"That's fine."

Ruan Chen waved his hand, then looked around.

"In fact."

"Everyone here has come to join the Divine Fist Sect. However, the decision to do so rests not with me, but with Steward Baili. If he approves, we can examine your aptitude today."

The words had barely left his lips.

The people around them couldn't help but hold their breath.

No one expected Ruan Chen to bring this up so directly.

"but......"

At this time.

Ruan Chen changed the subject, a meaningful look appearing on his face, and said, "We have been working hard for days, and Steward Baili is currently troubled by breaking through to the Inner Strength level, so we naturally have no time to think about it for the time being."

"Our sect has strict requirements for selecting disciples."

Therefore, it requires a great deal of energy.

"If we only hastily select people, resulting in a reduction in sect rewards and leaving Steward Baili without sufficient funds to exchange for breakthrough treasures, this is the last thing he wants to see, so..."

After listening to him go through all that trouble...

Don't even mention Qin Jiu.

The others also realized at this moment that this was nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of them and squeeze some money out of them.

Qin Jiu's smile widened.

It's much easier if there's something in the way.

But he hadn't said anything yet.

Han Qingyue then spoke again: "I remember my senior brother mentioned that within the Divine Fist Sect, one can exchange various rare treasures for contribution points. The Qin family has a secret formula for cultivating spirit beasts, which should be able to earn a considerable number of contribution points."

"Oh?"

At this time.

The deacon whose expression remained utterly indifferent.

A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"The secret formula for raising spirit beasts?"

"I've never heard of that before."

"It can only nurture first-tier spirit beasts." Han Qingyue shook her head and said, "But I think it shouldn't be a problem for Deacon Baili to exchange it for some contribution points. If it can help you break through, that would be a great blessing."

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session.

The smile on Qin Jiu's face had vanished.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the secret recipe.

in contrast.

If a secret recipe can get the Qin family to enter the pass with the Divine Fist Sect, it would be a great thing. After all, one recipe has already been given to Li Yuan of the Four Seasons Pharmacy, so what's wrong with giving another one to the Divine Fist Sect?

However, Han Qingyue's tone at the moment sounded as if she were offering something of her own.

It disgusted him.

"Ahem, Qingyue..."

Han Qing's face scrunched up at this moment.

Han Qingyue heard this.

He didn't say anything more.

"Young friend from the Qin family, what do you think?"

the other side.

Bai Li Ce's gaze fell on Qin Jiu.

The latter bowed slightly and said, "This is a matter of great importance. I will have time to consider it when I return."

"Whatever you want."

Bai Lize's smile vanished instantly.

Han Ning curled his lip upon seeing this.

"They really don't appreciate kindness."

"An opportunity to join a major sect is right in front of him, yet he hesitates like this. It's a pity that his sister pointed out a clear path for him."

"I, Qin, will take my leave."

Qin Jiu bowed slightly to Han Qing.

He then turned and left with his men.

The latter's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

......

"Xuanzhou, what do you think?"

On the carriage.

Qin Jiu gazed at the frost and snow outside the car window and asked a question in a daze.

"It's hard to say."

Qin Xuanzhou pondered, "Although the other party is interested in the secret formula, they haven't stated any specific conditions. If you offer the formula, that sect elder won't agree..."

"roar!"

Suddenly.

A roar came from the other side of the long street.

Qin Xuanzhou's expression changed, and he said, "That's the aura of demons, Patriarch, we..."

"Take a detour."

Qin Jiu flicked the wooden window with his finger.

He then sighed, "I'll find some time these next few days to invite people from the Divine Fist Sect to the Qin residence to test us. If we can gain entry into a major sect with our secret recipes or even some gold and silver, it would be well worth it."

"Our Qin family is not only leaving Songshan County."

"We must leave this land beyond the pass."

......

At dusk.

Han Mansion.

The guests have now left, and only the Han family members remain in the mourning hall to keep vigil.

"Moon, you shouldn't have brought up the Qin family's secret recipe earlier. That was really too offensive."

Han Qing's aged voice rang out.

Han Qingyue shook her head and said, "I haven't offended anyone."

"you......"

Han Qing was furious, but since she wasn't his own granddaughter, he could only shake his head and say, "With your temperament, you'll bring trouble to the family sooner or later, whether it's the Qin family or those people from the Divine Fist Sect."

"Please don't act like you're old and condescending."

Han Qingyue said unhappily, "I have my own plans on how to do things, and I am by no means as ignorant of when to advance or retreat as I appear on the surface. Just take Deacon Baili as an example. I am doing him a favor, and the benefits will naturally become apparent when the Han family goes to the Divine Fist Sect in the future."

"What do you know?"

Han Qing's tone was not angry, but weak and listless: "Your third grandfather was once a master of the third level of cultivation. He has lived a whole life and seen all kinds of people. That Qin family brat was born a killer. His strong smell of blood can't be hidden from this old man's eyes."

"And Ruan Chen of the Divine Fist Sect."

"Do you really think he's as simple as he seems?"

"Back then, Zheng'er, the reason you agreed to the marriage alliance with the Qin family was without considering your past relationship with that person. Why do you think that was? If the Han family could truly rely on a core disciple of a sect, would they have let you form an alliance with Qin Jiu...?"

"Shut up."

Han Qingyue's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she said coldly, "My father may be dead, but that doesn't mean you can take his place."

"Higher position?"

Han Qing's face instantly turned ashen.

Then he shook his head weakly: "I'm old and nearing my end, I just want to find a quiet place to wait for death."

"Since you have already decided to take the Han family to the Divine Fist Sect..."

"I can't dissuade you, but my children and grandchildren can't go with you. And your third brother, he's just a scholar, it's not good for him to go to the Divine Fist Sect with you. It would be better if he left the Han family with me."

Han Qing said.

Looking at a fair-skinned young man behind him, he said kindly, "Little Zhong Gui, would you like to go with your third grandfather to study in other places? As the saying goes, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.'"

"I......"

The boy had clear eyes and became somewhat excited upon hearing this.

But when he turned his head and saw Han Qingyue's expression...

But he shrank back.

"No, no, my sister will be unhappy."

"Ugh."

Han Qing didn't say anything more.

He simply leaned on his cane and slowly walked towards the entrance of the hall.

......

The next day.

When Qin Jiu heard the news about the Han family.

I was taken aback.

"How could that old man Han Qing leave the Han family? He treated Han Zheng like his own son, not to mention his feelings for the Han family."

"have no idea."

Qin Xuanzhou shook his head and said, "All I know for now is that his entire lineage left last night."

"This also includes a third-level cultivator."

"Does that mean the Han family now only has two people left who have reached the third level of cultivation?"

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment.

He immediately stopped dwelling on it and instead gave instructions on another matter.

"Take some men to the reception room to set things up. I'll go to the Hundred Beast Garden to slaughter a few spirit beasts. We're hosting the people from the Divine Fist Sect today, so we absolutely can't afford any mistakes. Also, have someone go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to invite an opera troupe over."
