Chapter 233 Breakthrough to the Jade Meridian Realm

A cold wind suddenly blew at the gate of the county government office.

Shen Qing was wearing a Weiwusi cotton coat, the hem of which was covered with tiny blood-colored ice crystals, and there were even drops of blood on one of his cheeks.

Anyone could see that this person had clearly just killed someone.

The two gatekeepers standing at the door did not dare to let him in.

"Please show me your ID card." One of the gatekeepers said with his hands tucked into his sleeves, holding his weapon, leaving only his red nose tip and a pair of vigilant eyes exposed.

Shen Qing took out an intricately carved jade plaque from his bosom, on which was engraved his name and official title, and handed it over.

The gatekeeper took the jade token, examined it carefully in the dim light beside the door, and his expression gradually became respectful.

"It turns out to be Mr. Shen, the inspector general. My apologies."

Shen Qing took back his ID card, tightened his cloak and asked: "Excuse me, where are the military commander and the chief envoy now?"

The gatekeeper stamped his feet, looking embarrassed when he heard this, and explained: "Master Shen, unfortunately, the military commander and the chief envoy went out to inspect the city defense early this morning. They said they wanted to personally check the defense situation outside the city and are expected to return in the afternoon. Do you think we need to leave a message or wait for them to come back?"

Shen Qing frowned slightly when he heard this. His trip was of great importance and time was tight, but he did not expect that the two people in charge were not present.

"In that case, I will go into the government office and wait."

Now he and Zheng Yuanqiu have completely torn their relations, and the outside world might not be as safe as the county government office.

As long as Zheng Yuanqiu didn't understand the situation here, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Otherwise, when the mud falls into your crotch, it will be either shit or shit, and you won’t be able to tell it apart.

The doorman quickly put down the spear in his hand, bowed, then quickly stepped forward and pushed open the heavy door of the county government for Shen Qing.

Shen Qing stepped into the county government office and instantly felt much warmer, which was in stark contrast to the severe cold outside.

As he spoke, Shen Qing took out a silver ingot from his bosom, stuffed it into the gatekeeper's hand, and said, "Brother, please help keep an eye on them. If they come back, please inform me immediately."

"Don't worry, Lord Shen. I will do my best." The doorman quickly agreed, then led Shen Qing to a warm room to wait, and ordered people to prepare hot tea and snacks to relieve the winter chill.

Shen Qing sat in the warm room, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

It's the end of the year, and the checks that should have been done have already been done. Why are there so many things to check? Why check now, not earlier or later?

If he guessed correctly, the two of them were most likely out for a social event.

I guess I should be back around noon.

Being in the county, Shen Qing's tense mind finally relaxed. He took out the purse from Zheng Yuanqiu.

Shen Qing poured it into his hands.

A total of six wish beads rolled into the palm of his hand.

They only get one wish-power bead for each year they work. If there is no change in his position in the future, he will have to endure six years to get the six wish-power beads.

Shen Qing secretly estimated that among these six wish-power beads, one was originally his, four should be Zheng Yuanqiu's original salary, and one might have been pried from the deceased Xi Shaoqin's quota.

Now it's all cheap for him.

This time, it was worth it for him to take the risk and confront Zheng Yuanqiu face to face.

He has been stuck in the Qi Hai realm for four or five months now.

After a period of continuous nourishment with medicinal food, coupled with the improvement of his panel capabilities, he is now only one step away from the Qi Hai Realm to the Yu Luo Realm.

The so-called Jade Meridian Realm is when a martial artist, through continuous practice, further compresses the body's true Qi into a serum, which fills the body's meridians and transforms the sea of ​​Qi into a sea of ​​true Qi.

When martial artists reach this realm, when they circulate their true Qi, a translucent light will appear on the meridians throughout their body, just like real jade, so it is called the Jade Meridian Realm.

In the Jade Meridian state, the body's true Qi is condensed and can be controlled to move.

Although it is not as good as the innate control of rainbow light, it is still above the ordinary.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, he is considered a big shot even in a county city.

It's still early and there's nothing to do.

Shen Qing, who had already witnessed the terrifying strength of Xiantian, was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and planned to use the Wish Pearl to break through the bottleneck of the Jade Meridian Realm.

He feels a little insecure now.

Even if he could improve a little bit, it would make him feel at ease.

Shen Qing put the extra wish beads back into his purse, leaving only one.

Looking at the white and smooth bead in his hand, Shen Qing could vaguely feel the enormous power of will contained in it.

He took a deep breath, took out the bead refining method he carried with him, placed it on his dantian, and gently held up the wish bead with both hands.

Shen Qing's mind moved, and the bead refining method started to work automatically. The true energy in his body surged like a river, gathering between his hands and producing a subtle resonance with the wish-power bead.

A soft light gradually appeared on the surface of the wish-power bead, which intertwined and merged with Shen Qing's true energy to form a powerful force.

All the spiritual energy of this world gathered towards where Shen Qing was.

All the pores on Shen Qing's body opened, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy.

As these spiritual energies entered, the true energy in his qi sea began to spin and compress wildly, as if being pulled by an invisible force, condensing into a slurry bit by bit, emitting a warm, jade-like luster.

……

on the street.

Xu Changle followed closely according to the location sent by the paper crane.

When he saw the corpses, his face became uglier.

These people were all Qi-nourishing masters secretly trained by their Huangtian Sect, and they were the ones who followed the path of martial arts.

They didn't even have the ability to stop Shen Qing!
At this moment, Xu Changle realized that Shen Qing was somewhat unusual and difficult to deal with.

But he is not without a solution.

So far, his identity has not been revealed.

In other words, he can still get close to the other party, and with his Qi Hai realm cultivation, he can take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and strike. He has a 70% chance of success.

Once we succeed in killing him, he can make up any excuse he wants, and all crises will be resolved naturally.

Judging from the current situation with General Zheng, this man named Shen is very good at manipulating human nature.

At that time, don't have any unnecessary negotiations with him, and act decisively.

Xu Changle secretly reminded himself in his heart and walked towards the county government office.

After a while, he arrived at the gate of the county government office, calmly reported a reason, and after his identity was verified, he entered the county government office unimpeded.

He asked in a tone that was half intentional and half unintentional: "I just saw that Officer Shen came before me. Where is he now?"

"Lord Shen? He is in the warm room now." Si Guan replied without thinking much.

"Oh, that's great. I need to talk to him about something." Xu Changle said casually, "You guys go and do your work. I'll go by myself."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

After sending the doorman away, Xu Changle's face instantly turned cold and he walked quickly towards the warm room.

In the Nuan Pavilion.

Shen Qing sat on the chair, and a vortex of spiritual energy formed with him as the center, continuously penetrating into his body.

boom!
Finally, the true energy in his body reached a critical value.

With a crisp roar, Shen Qing's Qi Sea completely transformed and turned into a true sea, vast and boundless, deep and unfathomable.

At this moment, the veins in his body were also filled with liquid true Qi, becoming crystal clear, as if they were carved from real jade, and sparkling with dazzling light.

Shen Qing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and his whole body exuded an indescribable aura.

"It's done!"

Shen Qing's face was filled with incredible joy. He knew that he was only one step away from reaching the Jade Meridian Realm. He did not expect that with the help of the Wish Power Pearl, he could successfully break through to the Jade Meridian Realm so easily!!!
Shen Qing stood up, feeling the new power surging in his body. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt a lot more at ease.

"Very good. I can't say I can kill Zheng Yuanqiu now, but at least I won't be as embarrassed as I was just now."

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the warm room door, and someone pushed the door open, interrupting his thoughts.
