Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

While pondering.

With a thought, he activated the Illumination.

Heaven and earth turned into nothingness, all sights vanished, leaving only the white, gray, and black light.

Immediately, Qin Jiu's thoughts stirred slightly.

They arrived at the accommodations arranged for Zheng Dahai and the other two.

Several words echoed in my ears at the same time.

"Elder Zheng, was that phenomenon really caused by a rare treasure? Could it be the work of the Wei army? After all, the Prince of Pinghai is the 'Demon Feeder,' and this Wei army that marched south is his direct force. Right now, demons are rampant in Songshan County, probably because they want to imitate the Prince of Pinghai."

"Using the blood essence of the people of this county to raise a great demon to enter the pass."

After saying that.

Zheng Dahai's voice then rang out.

"You haven't entered the willow vein yet."

"It is impossible to sense. In fact, the Wei army alone does not have the ability to change the celestial phenomena. The reason this celestial phenomenon occurred is because the ley lines of Songshan Mountain were flooded with demonic and turbid energy by the White Bone Cult, giving birth to an extremely yin place. Within a year, a rare treasure will surely be born."

"Just you wait and see."

"I reckon those bastards from the Divine Fist Sect will soon be here, drawn by the scent. You two, once the sect's Divine Guard arrives, you must quickly occupy a strategic location in the county town to set up camp, so that we can have a geographical advantage when we retrieve the treasure."

"Yes."

Qi Yuan's voice was filled with curiosity as he asked, "May I ask, Elder, what exactly is this extraordinary treasure you're referring to?"

"I have no way of knowing at the moment."

"However, judging from the pure Yin energy of its ley lines, it is either an extremely Yin treasure or a pure Yang treasure; the interaction of heaven and earth, the harmony of Yin and Yang, regardless of which one it is, is related to cleansing or refining high-quality true energy. If the Xuanxiao Sect obtains it, perhaps our sect will give birth to a Grandmaster as a result."

"No wonder the sect attaches such importance to it."

"This time, not only did they send the Divine Guard Army, but they also sent three of their personal disciples to lead the troops."

"Um."

"You must not spread this matter. This place is not simple. When I was traveling earlier, I sensed at least two Willow Tendon Realm beings. Judging from their aura, they should be members of the White Bone Sect. In addition, there was the Wei army who came first outside the city and his confrontation with County Magistrate Ye Wunian... I'm afraid Songshan County will soon become a den of demons."

"We must select disciples as soon as possible in the next two days. Once the Divine Guard Army arrives from Pinglin County, we will have them escort the disciples away immediately."

That was the last sentence.

The sound fell silent immediately, and no one spoke again.

......

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment.

Instead of shutting down Zhaoyou, he moved with a thought and rushed out of the Qin residence.

Since breaking through to the third level of refinement, he not only gained six more talent slots, but his mental strength also improved significantly. He didn't feel very tired at the moment, so he wanted to scan the area around the county town to see if the county magistrate who left that day and the others had all returned.

After all, Fu Hanchuan has returned.

In addition, there's the White Bone Cult that Zheng Dahai mentioned earlier.

I won't even glance at it.

Qin Jiu was genuinely worried.

To his surprise, apart from Fu Hanchuan's gray light, there was nothing else in the inner city patrol office.

"Report to the Commander."

"All the disciples of Canghai Martial Arts School have been interrogated."

"Oh? Did you get any information?"

"Commander, I have used every kind of torture imaginable, but to no avail. The deaths of the Li family, the Han family, and even the members of the Divine Fist Sect in the inner city should have nothing to do with Canghai Martial Arts. Should we release them?"

"put?"

Fu Hanchuan's voice was cold.

"Although they were not involved in the tragedies of those other families, their owners dared to join forces with the Four Seasons Pharmacy of the Canal Gang to launch a sneak attack on Lord Ye. For this alone, it would not be an exaggeration for me to skin them alive. If it weren't for the Four Seasons Pharmacy being deserted and those bastards from the Canal Gang not being there, they should all be arrested by now. Those people will be locked up in the water dungeon for now, and dealt with after you return, sir."

"My lord, what about the Qin family...?"

"We don't have concrete evidence right now, and given that the Xuanxiao Sect is willing to protect us, let's not make any moves there for now."

"Now pass on my orders."

"The patrol and inspection departments, the demon suppression departments, and even the constables of the yamen were all mobilized. First, they released the Xuanxiao Sect's information on selecting disciples, then they suppressed the scattered demons that had infiltrated the city, and then they guarded the city gates and waited for the county magistrate to return."

......

"They really are dedicated to their duties."

Qin Jiu listened.

With a thought, he swept across the inner city, glanced briefly at the outer city, and then shut down the Illumination.

"There's no longer any hostility directed at me in the city, which is neither good nor bad news. It seems that the people from Four Seasons Pharmacy and the Canal Gang have left the county in the past few days. I wonder if Jiang Lin, Tang Yu, and Ji Changqing will come back."

"And that White Bone Cult..."

Qin Jiu pondered.

He then slowly began practicing stance training in the courtyard.

He had already taken the time to slaughter the remaining dozen or so spirit beasts in the Beast Garden. Although they didn't have the desired talents, the spirit beast meat had been cured into jerky and packaged, so the Qin family could leave the county town at any time.

But according to Zheng Dahai, the Divine Guard Army will arrive soon.

At that time, people will also be assigned to escort the disciples.

He planned to wait until then before leaving with the main force. As for the rare treasures, Wei army, White Bone Sect, etc. that the other party mentioned, Qin Jiu did not want to get involved. If it weren't for the fear that something might happen to the Qin family if they left alone.

He then led his men out of the city.

However, Songshan County is still a journey of at least half a month from Ning'an Prefecture, even at the fastest pace. Traveling with family would take even longer, at least half a month.

This forced Qin Jiu to be cautious.

......

The next day.

The long street outside the Qin Mansion was bustling with people.

Whether they were dressed in fine clothes or were ragged beggars, they all gathered here.

"Quiet!"

Qi Yuan stood at the door.

He first circulated his inner energy and shouted loudly. After everyone covered their ears and quieted down, he continued, "I will repeat it again: those who wish to join the Xuanxiao Sect must be under the age of thirty. Those who are over the age can go back."

"Line up now."

"Come into the training ground to have your physical attributes measured..."

......

The Qin residence, east wing.

Qin Xuanzhou found Qin Jiu and bowed, saying, "Patriarch, regarding the martial arts arena, should we send the guards to assist them?"

"The guard?"

Qin Jiu shook his head and said, "The manor is now a mixed bag. The guards need to keep an eye on the crowd to prevent them from leaving the martial arts arena and going to other parts of the Qin manor. Just assign one or two people to maintain order."

He had activated the Illumination skill at this moment.

But we can't just take action against those who try to take advantage of the chaos.

Then what's the point of keeping a guard team?

"Oh, right."

"Xuanzhou, have you ever considered joining the Xuanxiao Sect?"

Qin Jiu suddenly said something.

Qin Xuanzhou was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Although I am a third-level martial artist, I am already thirty-two years old and am not suitable for the entry requirements of the Xuanxiao Sect."

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

"You have now mastered the three refinements. In just two or three years, you will be able to break through to the inner strength stage. You might as well give it a try."

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I will find an opportunity to ask Elder Zheng. As for the Qin family, we should focus on cultivating Qin Xudong during this period. When we go to Ning'an Prefecture in the future, it will be enough for him to manage the affairs of the Qin family."

at the same time.

Three elderly figures, accompanied by their children and grandchildren, arrived outside the Qin residence.

They looked up at the plaque of the Qin Mansion.

His face was a complex mix of emotions.
