Chapter 257: Diligent in cultivation, like a tiger lying on a barren hill
At the banquet that day, although Shen Qing told many vendors that Yongzhou was safe at the moment, he knew in his heart that this was not the case.

As early as when I entered Yongzhou, I heard Wu Sheng talk about the complexity of Yongzhou.

Now it seems that everything has come true.

Yongzhou is not without problems, it’s just that no one pays special attention to it.

Once you look through a magnifying glass, you'll see problems everywhere.

Let’s not talk about the snake demon and the empress of the Zhou family, these powerful monsters.

Just the fact that the county magistrate was seriously injured is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

There are also strong and weak innate martial artists. Although they are all innate, the prefect of Yongzhou is the most powerful person in the court of this state.

If he was injured, it would mean, to some extent, that there was a certain imbalance in power between the imperial court and the local areas.

And the news of the county magistrate's injury was spread so openly.

There must be someone secretly pushing this behind the scenes.

According to Shen Qing's temporary analysis, the most likely driving force behind this is the Thirteen Lines.

Shen Qing guessed that the Thirteen Hongs would most likely use the time when the county governor was injured and the window of power of the imperial court to maximize their power and say in Yongzhou.

After the fact has been established, there is nothing that can be done even if the county magistrate recovers his skills in the future.

By that time, the county government will certainly be constrained in every way, and those of them who are in charge will definitely have a hard time.

In addition, human life is worthless in this world, so your life might be in danger.

Not to mention that there are a group of demons outside who are eyeing them covetously.

As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.

The situation has not deteriorated yet, so it is best to seize the time to accumulate strength.

Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing became more serious and immersed himself in practicing hard.

The art of martial arts is vast and boundless.

If the path of cultivation is likened to a long winding river, then the Qi Hai realm in martial arts is the sudden surging torrent in this long river, marking a profound transformation and division on the path of the martial artist.

Before reaching the Qi Hai realm, one must strengthen one's muscles and bones, increase Qi and blood, and refine one's strength.

Every martial artist is like a blacksmith forging pig iron, tempering his muscles and bones day after day, year after year, making his body as tough as rock and his blood as surging as the tide.

During this process, since the vitality and resilience hidden in each person are different, the progress and difficulty of breakthrough are different.

But overall, there is no significant difference between them. They are all like small streams before the hundreds of rivers converge into the sea, each showing its own beauty, but finally returning to one.

However, when the martial artist gets the opportunity and crosses the basic threshold to enter the Qi Hai realm, the road of martial arts suddenly becomes clear, the clouds disperse, the stars shine brightly, and everything becomes different.

The sea of ​​qi condensed in the human body's dantian has become the key place that determines the fate of martial artists.

At this level, martial artists need to guide the free Qi in the body to the lower abdomen like taming a wild horse, and condense it into a sea of ​​Qi.

The size of the Qi Sea determines the upper limit of a martial artist's future achievements.

This is the first major watershed.

And when the Qi Sea has gone through thousands of temperings and turned into liquid spiritual power, storing its essence and accumulating its strength, it will burst out and become the state of Jade Meridians.

At this level, the amount of liquid spiritual power becomes a watershed.

When one reaches the Jade Meridian Realm, one will condense the "Dan Ying" and achieve the Dan Ren Realm. Every martial artist will have different ways of condensing the "Dan Ying" depending on their own roots, character, and circumstances.

Some "Dan Ying" are as gentle as jade, exuding a tranquil and far-reaching aura; some "Dan Ying" are as hot as fire, containing the power of flames that can destroy the world; some "Dan Ying" are like the rising tide of the blue sea, with boundless spiritual power... and so on. When the "Dan Ying" grows up to be a human, it can achieve the innate body, which is mysterious.

Every step here can lead to a huge difference.

During this period, Shen Qing's practice was smooth with the help of the [Ink Panel]. Especially with the help of the Wish Pearl, his progress was gratifying, and he gradually reached the late stage of the Jade Meridian Realm.

However, since the skills he was practicing were too complex, most of his energy was diverted, resulting in the progress of many skills not being that fast, and it was quite difficult to break through the bottleneck.

Shen Qing calculated carefully and found that his main skill [Tianfan Yin] was making a breakthrough towards "great success".

The two auxiliary skills, [Heavenly Bow Technique] and [Six Paths Whale Swallowing Technique], were also progressing in an orderly manner, and the [Nine Revolutions Profound Art] had even been completed.

However, the progress of [Dragon Roar Iron Shirt] and [Hunting Sutra] gradually fell behind.

Among them, after he was blessed with the [Six Paths Whale Devouring Art] and his physical body was sublimated, the added defense of [Dragon Roar Iron Shirt] became increasingly insufficient.

When facing powerful monsters such as snake monsters, it seems very useless.

As for the skill of [Hunting Classics], the key is the hunting environment.

It can only be improved occasionally when playing as a "Hunter", but it is not of much use at other times.

In addition, he also learned two new skills, [Great Void Technique] and [Great Void Movement Technique], which were more mysterious than the body movements in [Hunting Sutra].

This kind of skill seems useless.

The two skills, [Great Void Technique] and [Great Void Movement Technique], can be classified into the same category to some extent, but they currently lack a clear method and cannot be improved quickly for the time being.

Shen Qing looked at the ink panel in front of him. After comprehensive consideration, he made a decision in his heart.

For the time being, he still focused on [Heaven-Turning Seal] and [Heavenly Bow Technique] as his main training areas, and practiced [Six Paths Whale Swallowing Art] and [Great Void Technique] as auxiliary training areas.

In this way, he can attack or defend at both far and near.

"Once I have mastered all these skills, I will be able to advance to the Danren realm with the help of the panel. By then, even if I encounter a monster like the snake monster again, I won't be in such a mess even if I can't defeat it."

"If I can't defeat some Xiantian Realm martial artists, I should be able to outrun them..."

"We have to find a way to get the 'Great Void Technique'."

Shen Qing had some direction and decision in mind.

At this time, he realized one thing. A person's energy is always limited. It is undoubtedly very difficult to practice four kinds of skills at the same time.

There are only twelve hours in a day anyway. Even if he practices without eating or drinking, dividing it into four does not seem like much.

"Since we can't increase the time for cultivation, then we can increase the efficiency of cultivation."

"Not only the Great Void Technique, but also a way to get more elixirs and resources. The salary from the Weiwu Division is not enough."

As for how to obtain the cultivation resources he wanted, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of one person.

Wu Sheng.

Come to think of it, he met this person before he entered Yongzhou, and he was quite smart.

Since he can even get the imperially banned item like the Wish-Power Pearl, most of the cultivation resources must be within his reach.

I heard that this person is also from the Wu family, but his status is not high. He doesn't look that evil, so you can consider trying to contact him.

Maybe, as long as there is enough money, you can get a lot of wish-power beads from him.

Shen Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and an idea gradually came to his mind.
