Chapter 216: Refining the Hegemony Blood Technique
Shortly after Shen Qing left the table, Dong Jing and the young master of the Sun family, who had just finished their meal, suddenly remembered and looked towards the last seat.

The last seat was empty, and Shen Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Dong Jing walked up to Xi Shaoqin and asked in a low voice, "Where is Shen Chasi?"

"He's been gone for a while." Xi Shaoqin said nonchalantly.

Dong Jing's drunken face sobered up a bit: "I invited him today. I should have let him participate more in our party. It would be a bit rude of me to ignore him like this."

Xi Shaoqin raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was born in the Xi family of Yongzhou. Although he was not a direct descendant, it was still a noble family. He had participated in such gatherings many times.

In his eyes, a gathering like theirs was not something a poor guy like Shen Qing could attend.

He already had some complaints about Dong Jing inviting Shen Qing, and was even more dissatisfied with the fact that he attached great importance to her.

"You are very optimistic about him and have a good relationship with him privately?" The young woman sitting next to him took the initiative to speak when she saw the subtle situation.

The woman who was speaking was about 28 years old, with shoulders as thin as a human, a waist as thin as a stick, and legs as straight as chopsticks, revealing the elegant curves forged by long-term training.

"No." Dong Jing shook his head and said, "I saw that he had no parents, and a foreigner could actually settle down in the county town and even squeeze into the government office. He must have some skills, and I want to make some friends with him."

"What's the point of making friends with such a person? Even if he becomes a messenger, with his meager salary, he can't compare with us in terms of cultivation resources. The gap between us in cultivation will only get bigger and bigger. He is definitely not the same kind of person as us."

"That's right. If you ask me, why do you need to make friends with such a person? When he sees that you have improved your cultivation and become more successful, he will naturally come to curry favor with you. There will be no need for you to be so attentive to him."

Xi Shaoqin has long admired the two young ladies from the Wu and Qian families.

These two have both good martial arts skills and good looks. If they can deepen their relationship, perhaps they can develop further, which will be of great benefit to his future advancement.

At this time, one of them spoke up, and then many people agreed.

The young master of the Sun family, who was sitting at the head of the class, spoke up, "What Xi Chasi said makes a lot of sense. I used to know a man with great talent, but he didn't come from a high family. When I first started dealing with him, he was very aloof and ignored me, even looking down on my status. Later, when he saw that my cultivation had been constantly improving and surpassing his, he changed his attitude and wanted to get close to me."

"From that time on, I knew that people of their background fear power but not virtue, and are polite but not righteous. We must train them like dogs. We must not let them push their limits."

"That's the truth." Everyone nodded in response, "After all, our hobbies and habits are different from theirs since childhood. If we force ourselves to make friends, it will easily arouse jealousy from them if our cultivation level is higher than theirs, and it will be difficult for them to secretly despise us if our cultivation level is lower than theirs."

"Yes, yes, yes." Another woman continued, "I have a relative who is just like you. He likes to associate with people of humble origins. At first, they were very good friends, but later he neglected his cultivation and fell behind the person he associated with. As a result, he was ridiculed by him when he went out. My relative couldn't stand it and had an argument with them. In the end, he lost his life. It's really sad."

"..."

Seeing his friends talking about real-life examples of friendships they had made around them, Dong Jing suddenly became much more sober.

During the time he had been working in the Weiwu Division, he had seen a lot of people and things, and he knew that what these people said was not all lies.

Many people who come from the lower classes have completely different perspectives from them. They are often more easily agitated by trivial matters and have different values ​​from theirs.

But after observing for a period of time, Dong Jing discovered that Shen Qing was slightly different from the people from the lower class they had met.

If he guessed correctly, Shen Qing had quietly broken through to the Qi Hai realm with some means he didn't know where, and his cultivation speed had clearly caught up with them.

It would be such a pity to end such a relationship so easily.

Seeing Dong Jing's hesitation, the young master of the Sun family said with a smile, "If Dong Cha doesn't want to break up like this, just reduce the contact in the future and give him some benefits from time to time to maintain the relationship. After a long time, when your cultivation level is improved, he will come to you. Don't bother yourself."

Dong Jing glanced at everyone and then glanced outside the private room.

On one side is a long-time friend, and on the other side is a "one-man police officer" of humble origin. There is almost no comparison between the two.

Dong Jing made up his mind instantly, poured himself a full glass of wine, and laughed loudly: "Don't talk about this 'lone errand boy', let's drink."

"Come on, do it."

The party ended only when curfew approached.

"Waiter, come here and pay the bill." Dong Jing shouted with a wave of his hand.

After a while, a servant came running over and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, this is a favor from our boss Dong Chasi, inviting you all."

"Favors?!" Dong Jing was slightly stunned.

……

"Qingzi, you're back?"

After the gate of the courtyard was opened, Shen Qing walked into the courtyard from outside.

He turned around and closed the door again, and said casually: "Sister, didn't you go to the restaurant to help today?"

"There are uncles and aunts in the restaurant, so they don't need me. If there's no one in the house, there's no one to take care of you when you come back, so they all asked me to come back."

The eldest sister Shen Fang was sitting on a chair, embroidering by the light of a lantern. As she was embroidering, she said, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll go heat up some food for you."

"We've eaten at the restaurant, you should take a rest." Shen Qing walked over and looked down, and found that Shen Fangxiu was embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks, which looked very realistic: "Sister, when did you learn this embroidery skill?"

Shen Fang blushed: "Hey, don't worry about it."

In the candlelight, Shen Qing saw that the back of Shen Fang's ears were red, and he stopped teasing.

If you think about it, the eldest sister is already 20 years old, which is considered old here. Is she having some hidden thoughts?
Shen Qing didn't ask any more questions and turned back to his room.

Tonight’s party experience wasn’t very good, but it couldn’t be said to be completely fruitless.

"It is still the right way to improve your cultivation."

Shen Qing's consciousness moved, and in his sight a drop of ink dripped from a high place, condensing into lines of text.

[Skill: Blood Domination (Great Mastery)]

[Progress: 403/900 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

The Ba Xue Gong technique is a technique obtained by breaking through the limits of the nine kinds of standing meditation. It is mainly used to strengthen Qi and blood and restore physical strength.

Before reaching the Qi Hai realm, it must be said that this technique is very good and can offset the side effects of his Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

But after he broke through the Qi Hai realm, he seemed a little inferior and unable to repair his true Qi, so he seemed a little useless.

Perhaps I should find a similar technique that is helpful to the true qi, and wash away the points of the Blood Domination Technique.

Shen Qing began to think deeply and started to weigh the options.
