Chapter 47 Clues to the Innate Technique

Just as Zhou Qing was pondering this, a waiter from Fengmanlou entered with a piece of information in his hand and said, "Honorable guest, this is information about the Hunyuan True Skill's innate level technique. It will cost one thousand taels of silver."

"One thousand taels?"

"Row!"

Zhou Qing did not haggle.

He is now very wealthy, with over a million taels of silver notes in his possession.

Spending only one thousand taels of silver to buy information about the innate level of the Hunyuan True Skill is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean for him.

"Honorable guest, please take your time to examine the document. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will answer them to the best of my ability."

The waiter at Fengmanlou handed the intelligence to Zhou Qing.

"Ok!"

Zhou nodded, then opened the intelligence report and began reading it quickly.

Soon.

He closed the intelligence report, somewhat shocked.

According to Feng Manlou's intelligence report, the origin of the Hunyuan True Skill is mysterious; it is a technique passed down from the land of saints.

Many ancient sects' signature techniques evolved from the Hunyuan True Skill.

In ancient times, any power with a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm would generally collect the Primordial Chaos True Skill as a reference.

The Primordial Chaos True Skill can be considered a fundamental technique.

Therefore, there are quite a few forces in the Great Xuan Dynasty that possess the Primordial Chaos True Skill at the innate level.

In this intelligence report, in addition to the top forces, some first-class forces that have obtained the inheritance of ancient sects also possess innate-level Hunyuan True Skills.

For example, the Vajra Sect of Yuanzhou and the Canghai Sect of Wanzhou.

In addition, the intelligence also detailed some things to pay attention to when cultivating the Hunyuan True Qi, especially when reaching the Innate Realm. Although the Hunyuan True Qi can integrate many kinds of true qi, one must have a strong mental will to control it.

Otherwise, if too much true energy is fused together and the mind and will cannot control it, the physical body will eventually 'explode'.

"This information is quite good. I wonder if your establishment has any way to help me obtain the Primordial Chaos True Skill at the Innate level?"

Zhou Qing asked.

"This is another piece of information," the waiter at Fengmanlou said with a smile. "Our esteemed guest will need to purchase it separately."

"no problem!"

Zhou Qing nodded.

"Understood, please wait a moment, esteemed guest."

The waiter at Fengmanlou immediately and respectfully withdrew.

Half an hour later.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, esteemed guest." A waiter from Fengmanlou entered, carrying three intelligence reports: "Esteemed guest wishes to obtain the Primordial Chaos True Skill at the Innate level. Our establishment has three intelligence reports, each priced at five thousand taels. However, we do not guarantee that these intelligence reports will ensure you obtain the skill 100%."

"Give me the first piece of intelligence!"

Zhou Qing took out five silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels and handed them to the other party.

"This first piece of intelligence is related to the Vajra Sect of Yuanzhou." Feng Manlou's attendant put away the silver notes and then said, "Not long ago, Luo Xi, the son of the former sect leader of the Vajra Sect, appeared in Anqing Prefecture, Wanzhou. If you can find Luo Xi, you may be able to obtain the Primordial Chaos True Skill at the Innate level from him."

"Vajra Gate!"

Zhou Qing looked thoughtful.

It should be noted that the first top-tier martial art he practiced was the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique, which he purchased from the black market in Anqing Prefecture.

At that time, he did not know that this was a technique of the Vajra Sect.

"Where is Vajra Monroxi now?"

Zhou Qing asked. "Currently, Luo Xi is being hunted down by the Vajra Sect warriors. His most recent appearance was within the territory of Qingyan Prefecture."

The waiter at Fengmanlou did not charge Zhou Qing any fee for this information.

Perhaps the five thousand taels of silver already included this information.

"What about the other two pieces of information?"

Zhou Qing took out a silver note with a face value of ten thousand taels and handed it to the other party.

"The second piece of intelligence is about Qizhou," said the waiter of Fengmanlou. "A few months ago, Qizhou fell to the rebels and was occupied by the Zoroastrian Church. Many sects and families were destroyed, and some cultivation techniques and secret manuals naturally circulated. In the black market of Qizhou, there were innate cultivation techniques, including the Hunyuan True Skill at the innate level."

However, the imperial court is currently at war with the Zoroastrian rebels, and Qizhou is in chaos and fraught with danger. A slight misstep could cost one's life, so the black market has naturally been affected and closed. It is unknown when it will reopen.

The third piece of information is related to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Seven days ago, Fang Qinghua, a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, was murdered outside the city of Yuanzhou. Anyone who can provide clues about the murderer can become a disciple of a Grandmaster of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, or meet a requirement within their capabilities.

If they wanted other innate cultivation techniques, the Myriad Swords Sect might not agree, but most sects and families possessed the Primordial Chaos True Technique at the innate level, so the Myriad Swords Sect would most likely not refuse.

"Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes flickered.

He naturally knew who the murderer was; he was the one who killed Fang Qinghua.

Therefore, this information was useless to him.

Although the Qizhou black market once produced innate-level Hunyuan True Skills, it is currently closed due to ongoing warfare, making the chances of obtaining such skills slim.

Therefore, Zhou Qing seems to have three choices.

But there is actually only one choice.

That is, to find Luo Xi, the son of the former sect leader of the Vajra Sect, and obtain the Primordial Chaos True Skill at the Innate level from him.

Immediately, Zhou Qing spurred his horse and rushed to the city of Qingyan Prefecture.

Five days later.

"Luo Xi was being pursued by the Vajra Sect warriors and is suspected of fleeing to Ping'an County."

Upon arriving in the prefectural city, Zhou Qing immediately went to Hua Man Lou to purchase the latest intelligence, and then rushed towards Ping An County without stopping for a moment.

"Summon your magistrate to see me!"

Upon arriving in Ping'an County, Zhou Qing disguised himself as the 'Duan Shui Liu' from before, went straight to the county government office, and then presented the Eagle Wolf Guard's guest token.

"M-Master, please wait a moment!"

Upon seeing the token of the Eagle Wolf Guard, the yamen runners dared not delay and immediately welcomed Zhou Qing into the county yamen, while also sending someone to inform the county magistrate.

Soon.

The magistrate of Ping'an County rushed over in a hurry.

"This humble official, Zhang Yuan, was unaware of your arrival, sir. I have failed to greet you properly and hope you will forgive me!"

Upon the arrival of the county magistrate, he bowed respectfully, his tone tinged with apprehension.

Although Zhou Qing is not a member of the Eagle Wolf Guard, those who can become guest elders of the Eagle Wolf Guard are basically top-tier martial artists who have mastered the power of the Seed of Intent.

Such a powerful figure was naturally not someone a mere county magistrate could afford to offend.

"Lord Zhang, I have come here today because I need you to do something for me."

Zhou Qing sat upright in the main hall, his gaze sharp and fixed on Magistrate Zhang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan quickly replied, "Please speak, sir. As long as it is within my power, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhou Qing said in a deep voice: "Luo Xi, the son of the former sect leader of the Vajra Sect, has appeared in Ping'an County. You should immediately have people stake out outside all the pharmacies in the city. Once you find any trace of him, report to me immediately."
